ZAPATERO DELIVERS
CASH FOR CHILDREN
Nobody knows how much it
costs to bring up a child, but
Spain’s president, José Luis
Rodríguez Zapatero, will
put his hand in his pocket
for new parents.
Starting from next week
all families legally resident
in Spain will receive 2,500
euros for each new child,
irrespective of their income
and nationality.
The president announced
the news on Tuesday in Parliament during a debate on
the State of the Nation. Zapatero considers this move
to support hard-pressed families an ‘historic decision’.
This is not the first time the
left-wing PSOE party has
proposed such a measure.
In 2002, when they were in
opposition, socialists proposed even higher grants
per child – 3,000 euros for a
second child and 6,000 euros
for the third.
In the end this proposal was
not included in the electoral
programme that was presented in the general elections. However, it has now
been announced eight months before the next battle for
the president’s post.
The move has been criticised by some political parties, such as the nationalists
in Cataluña (Convergència i
Unió) as ‘electioneering’.
The PP has attempted to
minimise the impact of
the news by reminding politicians that in their own
campaign they pledged to
award 3,000 euros for each
new child.
Experts are studying the
cost to the State of the new
grant system and believe
this will be in the region of
1,200 million euros a year.
Around half a million families could benefit from the
2,500-euro subsidy, based on
last year’s 481,102 births.
However, the cost could in
fact be higher as the ministry for work and social
affairs wants the move to be
retroactive, starting from
January 1 this year, and to
include adoptions. Around
5,000 children are adopted
every year in Spain.
At present, each child born
reduces a family’s annual
income tax liability by 1,200
euros and parents also benefit from small grants handed out by regional governments and town councils.
Certain
non-government
charities consider there are
already too many financial
support programmes in
existence and that the State
should invest more funds in
schools and nurseries, thus
helping parents to find a
better work-life balance.
With this announcement
Zapatero has made his first
pre-electoral-campaign promise. Additionally, this week
the president also pledged to
increase retirement pensions in the next year. Those on
the minimum pensions will
see a rise of around 26 per
cent, assures Zapatero.
He made the announcement
in Asturias at a conference
organised by mining industry workers.

A German truck driver accused of murdering five
prostitutes in Spain between 1996 and 2006 has
died in prison in Germany.
The cause of his death remains unclear.
Volker Eckert was detained
in Cologne last November where he worked as a
truck driver, after he was
identified as the murderer
of a Bulgarian prostitute
in Girona, Cataluña. Before being imprisoned, the
48-year-old also admitted
strangling a 14-year-old girl
in Germany in 1974, murdering four other prostitutes in Spain and a further
two in France. Police found
photographs of
several
dead women, presumably
his victims, as well as locks
of hair and items of clothing in his truck.

Yemen suicide bomb
kills Spanish tourists
Massacre believed to be the
work of Al Qaeda
A. Elgar
Ten people have been killed
including seven Spanish
tourists and two Yemeni
tour guides in a terrorist attack in Yemen. Another six
Spaniards were wounded,
one of them seriously.
The attack, in which a suicide bomber drove a vehicle
carrying explosives into the
centre of convoy of westerners travelling in fourwheel drives, is believed to
have been the work of Al
Qaeda. It is the second time
in eight days that Spaniards
have been killed in suicide
missions. Last week, six
soldiers died in a car bomb
attack in Lebanon.
The group, who were
travelling as part of a tour
organised by well-established Basque travel agency
Byblos Tour, had just visited the ancient archaeological site of The Mahram
Belques Temple built 3,000
years ago in Mareb, situated some 170km to the East
of the country’s capital,
when the attack occurred.
According to sources,
two of the vehicles were
completely destroyed in the
attack.
The dead have been
named as a married couple
from Cataluña, a married
couple from the Basque
country, the Basque leader
of the expedition and his
assistant from Guipúzcoa,
as well as a woman from
Girona who was married to
one of those injured. In addition, one of the drivers, a
35-year-old father of seven
and a local guide also perished. Another six Yemeni –
two drivers and four escorts
– were seriously wounded.
Soon after the attack, authorities in Yemen pointed
the finger of blame at Al
Qaeda, who had days previously broadcast a statement
demanding that imprisoned
members be liberated or it
would carry out attacks.
Vizcaya survivor María
Begoña Larrabeiti stated
after the incident: “The attack was an absolute nightmare. I saw that the first
vehicle of the convoy went
up in flames, in the second
vehicle people were in a bad
state, and in my vehicle,
people were screaming. I’m
a very lucky person to have
survived. On more than
one occasion I’ve been in a
situation of extreme danger, but I’m still alive.”

Spanish Air Forces repatriated the bodies of the seven

Spain and president José
Luis Rodríguez Zapatero
were quick to condemn the
attack. Don Juan Carlos expressed his “indignation,
condemnation and repulsion”, while Zapatero spoke
with the Yemen president,
Ali Abdullah Saleh, who
communicated his condolences and solidarity to the
families of the victims. The
Spanish government has
urged Yemeni authorities
to fully investigate the attack so that those responsible can be brought to trial
“as soon as possible”.
Yemen, comprising 20 million inhabitants, is situated
in the South of the Arabian
Peninsula and has become
infamous in the past few
years for its Al Qaeda operations, where groups operate
without control. The risk of
terrorist attack in Yemen
has been high since 2006
when 23 “extremely dangerous” Al Qaeda prisoners escaped from a Yemeni prison.
Although several of these
were recaptured, some managed to flee to Somalia and
to the remote province of
Hadramwt. In spite of the
danger, the Spanish ministry for foreign affairs only
advises tour groups against
visiting.
President of the country
Alí Abdulah Saleh, has offered a 15 million riales reward (about 55,600 euros),
for any information on the
attacks to capture the assassins.

Bomb scare in Ibiza
airport causes chaos
12,000 people affected by
anonymous caller
A. Elgar
A bomb scare in Ibiza airport caused widespread
chaos and disruption last
Saturday, after police were
forced to close the airport
for four hours following a
phone call made to a Spanish newspaper warning of
an imminent bomb.
All the airport’s workers
and people travelling out of
Ibiza had to be evacuated
immediately, and all planes
due to land at the airport
needed to be diverted. The
closure of the airport affected 12,000 people on one
of the busiest weekends of
the summer.
Police were forced to act
with speed after an anonymous call made to Basque
nationalist newspaper Gara
and roadside assistance
company DYA at 12.00hrs
claimed that a bomb would
be detonated at the airport
at 13.10hrs. However, according to sources, the caller did not identify himself
as an ETA member, speak
in Basque, nor use habitual
terminology used by the
terrorist group.
A total of 34 planes needed to be diverted to other
airports in Spain including
Palma de Mallorca, Mahón,
Valencia, Marseille and
Barcelona, while another 32
flights were unable to take
off. Thousands of people
who were evacuated from
the main departure building were given water and
umbrellas by emergency
services as temperatures
soared into the high 30s Celsius.
EVACUATED AIRPORT: Four hours in the glaring sun
Around ten minutes before the planned detonation,
officers found a suspect
package inside the terminal building. A controlled

Statistics show that 84%
of drivers who were sanctioned were men; 40% of
offences were due to drinkdriving. Fifty percent of
drivers who lost points were
aged between 18 and 34.
Massacre averted as ETA
members caught near border
French police have averted
a potential massacre, after
arresting three alleged ETA
members in the south of
France who were driving in
a vehicle containing 165 kilograms of explosives, two
detonators, two large gas
cylinders and other bombmaking material that was
about to be driven into Spain
in a “matter of hours”.
The men were arrested
in Saint Jean de Pied de
Port, just 15kms from the
Navarra’s border, after police spotted a white Citroën
Berlingo, driving with false
number plates. One of those
arrested was Ekaitz Aguirre Goñi, military chief of
ETA.

road deaths in the last
twelve months, the figures

First Europeans
lived in Burgos,
scientist confirm
The first European hominids were born in Burgos 1.2
million years ago, experts
have confirmed.
Analysis of the remains of
an ancient person discovered in a UNESCO heritage
site in the Atapuerca mountains near Burgos have certified the presence of the
first hominid or great apes
in the region. The remains
add to those found in 1994
in Gran Dolina, Burgos,
where Homo Antecesor was
found, a species dating to
780,000 BC.
Rosa Huguet, doctorate
from Tarragona’s Rovira
y Virgili University, broke
down in joyful tears after
discovering that a fragment
she believed belonged to a
bear was in fact that of a
hominid’s tooth. The tooth
has been confirmed as a
pre-molar, which belonged
to a 20-year-old individual.
In addition, the discovery
completes one of the site’s
great mysteries, since archaeologists discovered a
number of ancient silex
tools in the same area, but
until now had found no sign
of any hominid which used
the objects.
Co-director of the dig, José
María Bermúdez de Castro,
stated that it was still too
early to determine the species of the hominid, which
could be human, a chimpanzee or a gorilla: “Until

The palaeonthologist stated
that the discovery of hominids in Europe was “spectacular” and that there was
a strong possibility that the
remains belonged to a species similar to the Homo de
Georgia, which inhabited
Georgia 1.8 million years
ago. If this theory is correct, it confirms that the
first Europeans did not arrive via Gibraltar as first
thought, but from the East
through the Palestine corridor.
A further 14 metres of the
site remain to be excavated
and the dig will continue
during July, in which time
it is hoped that more bones
and fossil remains will be
found.
Hundreds of thousands
of people descended upon
Madrid last weekend to

a once deeply conservative
country into a bastion for

The Spanish government
has ordered a team of 117
extra police officers to be

According to sources within the government’s local

these are Guardia Civil officers and the remaining 15
are Policía Nacional.
Antonio Lorenzo emphasised that there has been
a “gradual increase every

due to the huge influx of

Heads may

false alarm
Valencian public television,
Radio Televisió Valenciana,
reported an explosion at
Ibiza Airport that never
happened. The PSOE representative for RTV, Dolors
López, is calling for the directors’ resignations.
The report went out last
Saturday and López, has demanded the resignation of
Pedro García, RTVV’s Director General, and Lluis
Motes, News Director for
Canal 9, for their “irresponsible” attitude in broadcasting a report guaranteed to
attract the maximum news
audience “without first
confirming it and thereby
spreading alarm throughout the population”.
The

claimed an explosion had
occurred at Ibiza airport

Camps asks ministers
to use imagination
B.Chulvi&S.Walker
Francisco Camps has asked
his new government for “effort” but also for “imagination”: imagination to find
solutions to the challenges
faced by Valencians and
all those who live side by
side with them in the Comunitat Valenciana. This
was Camps message to the
four women and ten men
who will make up the new
autonomous government.
The first change is that
Camps has named a government with three vice-presidents. It was clear that two
of his old university friends
would each be made vicepresident: Vicente Rambla
(b. Castellón, 1963) is vicepresident for Policy and Gerardo Camps (b. Alicante,
1963) has been made vicepresident for the Economy.
They are both ministers as
well, Rambla being Minister for the Presidencia and
Gerardo Camps Economy
Minister.
An unexpected change,
however, came with the
naming of Juan Cotino (b.
Valencia 1950) as the head
of Social Welfare and the
third vice-president. Cotino
has been Director General
of the Police and member
of central government here
in the Comunitat Valenciana while the PP held office
in Madrid. In 2004, Francisco Camps made Juan Cotino Minister for Agriculture, an office that he has
held up until now. Cotino
is well-known in political
circles for his close links
with Opus Dei, a conservative catholic organisation
known internationally for
its huge economic power.
The fact that Cotino
owned the house where
Francisco Camps and Gerardo Camps lived during
their time in Madrid is
proof enough that Camps
has surrounded himself
with friends. Cotino comes
from Valencia and Camps
has justified his appointment as third vice-president
as a means to achieving an
equilibrium between the
three provinces: “My objective,” explained Camps
as he presented his new
government, “is to see each
of the three provinces represented equally and maintaining this equilibrium
will also be the responsibility of the three vice-presidents”.
The other changes in the
government can be seen
by the women Camps has
appointed: Trini Miró (b.

Tourism and Belén Juste,
Minister for Industry and
Commerce. The appointments of these four women
came as a surprise, but
Camps has explained that
he wanted his government
to comprise both people
with a lot of political experience and people with less
experience who would have
a greater empathy with the
man in the street as well as
bringing fresh ideas with
them.
The new Minister for
Culture and Sport, Trini
Miró’s only known track record in managing cultural
affairs was her directorship
of Alcoi’s Music Conservatory between 1999 and 2003
and her role in the town’s
department of culture. The
new Agriculture Minister,
Maritina Hernández, has
more experience, having
been in charge export at
IVEX, the Valencian Institute of Export. Hernández
has a doctorate in biochemistry and is the daughter of
one of the leading histori-
ans for the agricultural organisation.
Although her appointment has come as a surprise,
Belén Juste, Minister for
Industry and Commerce, is
hardly a stranger to Valencia’s business circle. She
was a director of Valencia’s
international trade fair
(FMI) while the exhibition
centre was being expanded
and as a result of her position there, came into close
contact with many of Valencia’s most active and
productive commercial sectors. Belén Juste was not,
however, one of the names
expected to be connected
with the ministerial post
as she left her post as trade
fair director after failing to
see eye to eye with leading
manufacturers in the furniture sector.
Perhaps the least known
of all the new women in
ministerial posts is Angélica Such, Minister for Tourism. This 43 year-old lawyer with four children has,
up until now, been the legal

advisor to the town councillor for women’s affairs in

among the other ministerial appointments: Font de

the Environment, Mario

Manuel Cervera in Health,
Serafín Castellano heads up
the new Interior Ministry
that takes over from Public
Administration and will be

called Immigration and

150€ fines for leaving
rubbish in street
B.Chulvi&S.Walker
Valencia city council has
decided to tackle head on
the problem of rubbish left
out in the street. The council has decided to levy a
fine of 150€ against anyone
who leaves rubbish in the
street instead of putting
it into one of the bins provided. The Environment
Ministry is prepared to
take legal measures to do
away with this practice,
having noticed an increase
especially in the city centre and the Campanar area.
Yesterday, the area co-ordinator, Ramón Isidro Sanchis, announced that “the
number of
inspections
were going to increase in
an attempt to eradicate this
practice”. The Inspectors
have noted an increase in
the amount of rubbish left
on pavements and the local
authorities have started legal proceedings in at least
one case.
The first group of residents to come under investigation are those in
the Calle Colón, one of the
city’s main thoroughfares
and the main shopping
district, because “inspectors have seen several residents leaving rubbish in the
street instead of using the
nearby bins provided by the
city council”. Since there
is more than one person
involved, legal proceedings
have been initiated against
the residents’ association.
“There is a 150€ fine and we
intend to follow proceedings through” confirmed
the council representative.
As well as the Calle Colón,
there has also been mention of the Calle Cerdán
de Tallada, the Plaza de los
Pinazo, the stretch of Calle
Doctor Nicasio Benlloch
that runs from Calle Alcublas to Avenida de Campanar, all of which are major
streets in Valencia.
These are just isolated
examples of a situation
that looks set to “increase
over the coming months,
despite the fact that there
are enough bins”, according
to sources within the town
hall. One of the problems
appears to be the fact that
last year Valencia city council replaced the old bins with
a new, bigger model, that is
opened by means of a foot
pedal at ground level, that is
too stiff for elderly people to
operate.
Another problem is that
since the new bins are much
bigger, there are now fewer
of them around the streets,
something the residents
blame on the council’s desire to increase the number
of parking spaces. “The
first step we have taken,”
say sources in the town
hall, “is to pass the information onto the secretaries & presidents of the
residents’ associations and
the caretakers of the apartment buildings in the affected streets”.
As well as being notified

of the proceedings, they
have also been advised that
“they are going to be under
much closer observation
in order to avoid rubbish
dumping in the streets,
something that is expressly
forbidden by the local bylaws”.
At a glance
Last year, the change to the new type of bin was widely
criticised by residents, not, in the main, because of the
bins themselves, but more because of where they had
been placed. The problem is that the areas assigned to
the bins were not big enough to accommodate the new,
larger bins, so they have been put elsewhere, often in
very inconvenient places like zebra crossings or on
pavements, encroaching on parking spaces.
There was such widespread objection that 40 residents’
associations, via their Federation, made official complaints about the location of bins in their neighbourhoods. The team responsible for the Environment at
Valencia’s city council promised to revise and relocate
all the badly situated bins, which placated the residents
temporarily, but the row has now blown up again.
During the first six months
of this year, the America’s
Cup has attracted over a
million visitors to Valencia – the same number who
visited the city during the
whole of 2003. Yesterday,
José Salinas, Director of
Valencia’s Tourism and
Convention Bureau, and the
man responsible for initiating the discussions that
ultimately led to the sailing
event being held in the city,
said “It’s hugely satisfying
to see so many people getting involved in this event
and will be all the more so if
Alinghi’s win means that it
stays here in Valencia”.
The huge tourist presence
and the event itself are both
benefiting the city financially. Studies that have tried
to put a figure on the event
claim that it will generate
between 1.5 and 3 billion
euros, ten times that which
was generated by the last
America’s Cup held in Auckland, New Zealand.
Accident victims claim that one year on

Valencia’s line 1 does not
appear to have improved
at all. By means of protest, on Tuesday 3rd July,
the first anniversary of
the fatal accident, relatives
of the victims marched in
protest along the part of
the line where their loved
ones lost their lives. The
victims and their families
are demanding that the
Generalitat Valenciana admit that the accident was
“avoidable”.
The tribute to the victims
consisted in a two-hour
walk from Valencia to Torrent, stopping to observe
a minute’s silence in each
station. At the end of the
walk, the metal barriers
at the mouth of the metro
station were gradually covered with white flowers,
candles, photos of the victims and messages of remembrance as well as messages demanding “justice”.
Rosa Garrote, who lost her
sister in the accident, read
out a statement on behalf
of the victims’ association,
asking the Generalitat to
recognise that the accident
was “avoidable” and demanding that safety measures be introduced to prevent “another derailment”
so that “no-one else has to
GRIEF: Families pledge not to forget those lost
go through” what they have
suffered.
“We offer these flowers in
remembrance of you and
as a symbol of our love for
you. We will never forget
you, but nor will we forget
that your deaths were the
result of inadequate safety
measures on line 1 of Valencia’s Metro”, said Garrote.
The victims’ association
claims that “the brazen way
in which political leaders”
have maintained that the accident was “unforeseeable
and unavoidable” prevents
them from “moving on”
with their lives as they are
“all” convinced that this is
“a lie”.
“We can’t just carry on
with our lives as if nothing has happened. As a
matter of dignity we have
to fight to bring those responsible for the accident
to justice”, read Garrote,
visibly moved. Relatives
cannot and will not “forget” that “owing to the fact
that the people in charge
at Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat did not do their
jobs properly, a carriage
derailed and 43 people lost
their lives and another 47
sustained injuries varying
degrees of severity”.
The victims, who today
remembered “those who
didn’t come out of this
metro tunnel alive”, are
asking to be allowed to get
on with their lives, “to cope
with the pain bit by bit”
without being tormented
by the “circumstances of
their loved ones’ deaths”.
The ceremony, held under
the slogan “43 dead + 47
injured = 0 responsibility”,
ended with applause and
a unanimous cry for “justice” from those present.
The secretary general of
the PSPV-PSOE, Ignasi Pla,
warned today that the Valencian socialists were not
going to “forget the most
serious metro accident in
Spain’s history and the
fourth most serious in the
whole world, nor forget that
with greater investment
it could have been avoided
and for this reason we
demand that the Government bears it in mind every
single day”.The judge in
charge of the case has reopened the investigation and
the opposition is asking
that political responsibility
be brought into the open. It
should be pointed out that
the man with maximum
responsibility for transport and infrastructure at
the time of the accident,
García Antón, has just be
appointed Minister for the
Environment and therefore
no longer has any responsibility for transport. The
socialist MP, Carmen Ninet,
has criticised this appointment.

Nothing fishy about
Ribera restaurants
Experts have rubbished
claims of a health risk from
serving diners raw fish
Samantha Kett
Restaurants in Cullera have
called for calm over widespread fears of a type of
food poisoning contracted
from raw or marinated fish.
Anisakiosis, first diagnosed in Holland in 1955 but
more widespread in Spain
since the 1990s, is caused
by the anisaki parasite
which lives in the digestive
system of certain fish.
It can cause an allergic
reaction in humans, with
symptoms including stomach pain, vomiting, fever,
and diarrhoea.
A number of cases reported throughout Europe
in the last few years have
raised public concerns,
particularly amongst those
who habitually eat in oriental restaurants where
raw or smoked fish is more
likely to be served.
However, representatives
of the Hostelry and Tourism
Association of La Ribera
Alta and La Ribera Baixa
– based in Cullera – have
rubbished claims by the
ministry of consumerism
that there is a health risk
from eating fish, whether
or not it is cooked.
Cullera restaurant owners say eating fresh fish is
highly recommended, and
the fish caught on Valencian shores is some of the
best in the world.
When fish is cooked, any
presence of anisakis is destroyed.
Aggressive drunk
arrested in Oliva
A man who attacked an
Oliva barmaid in the street
was arrested on Saturday
night.
The accused entered the bar
on C/ Loygorri in a heavily
inebriated state at around
21.00 hrs.
The victim, who owns the
bar with her husband, noticed he was pestering a
female customer and asked
him to leave. She refused to
serve him alcohol when he
requested more or to allow
him to purchase cigarettes
from the machine.
When the woman went outside to serve drinks to two
customers on the terrace,
the man followed her and
kicked a chair at her, spilling the drinks and smashing a glass.
A number of bystanders gave chase when the
drunken man attempted to
escape.
They pinned him to the
railings of a supermarket
which had shut up for the
night and kept him surrounded until police arrived.
Meanwhile, the woman’s
husband and co-owner of
the bar arrived at the bar.
On hearing of the incident
he moved to hit the accused,
but was restrained.
Local police reached the
scene within minutes and
took the man into custody.
He was led away by two officers and did not struggle,
say witnesses. He is described as Latin American
– possibly Ecuadorian, Bolivian or Peruvian, medium
height and early thirties.

Fake banknote operation
busted in Gandia
National Police have arrested a man on suspicion
of being involved in counterfeit banknote distribution.
The 21-year-old, a Cameroon national, was caught
red-handed carrying a
briefcase full of fake notes
of high denomination.
He was detained last week
in a hotel in Gandia, following a two-month police
investigation.
The case was opened in
April when officers were
tipped off about a group of
people who had made contact with a businessman in
Llíria in order to buy machinery from him.
They then allegedly offered to sell the Llíria man
a batch of tinted slips of
paper that could be easily
converted into counterfeit
banknotes.
To convince him to close
the sale, the illegal organisation sent him two 50-euro
notes to show that they
were authentic-looking.
According to police, the detainee arranged to meet the
Llíria man in the Gandia
hotel to finalise the purchase of the machinery, and
was arrested on arrival.
Officers reveal the young
man has an existing criminal record.
They have not ruled out further arrests in connection
with the operation.

Thieves sentenced

Business
Consum rush

Valencian
supermarket
chain Consum has recently
opened four new branches
in the Marina Alta and Marina Baixa.
Amongst its 365 stores in
the Comunitat Valenciana
– 69 of which are in the
province of Alicante – new
branches have opened their
doors in Dénia, Jávea, Benissa and L’Alfàs del Pi.
Consum has purchased 60
stores from chain Caprabo
– 45 of which are in the
Comunitat Valenciana and
five in Murcia – meaning
it now has more than 550
branches throughout the
country.
The old Caprabo supermarkets were revamped and
turned into Consums within less than a week, thanks
to the efforts of more than
1,600 professionals and an
investment of some four
million euros.
Expatriate couple were tied

Samantha Kett
Three burglars were each
sentenced to five-year prison terms at an Alicante
Court on Friday.
The Romanian nationals
are accused of breaking
into a property in Dénia
and assaulting its owners.
Police say they forced
the lock on the door of the
house, owned by an expatriate couple, in the early
hours of the morning.
They then awoke the
sleeping occupants, brandishing a screwdriver and
an adjustable spanner and
demanding to know where
they kept their jewellery
and money.
According to officers, the
offenders hit the man in the
face and kept the couple
hostage in the bedroom,
threatening to slit their
throats if they did not give
them what they asked for.
The thieves made off
with 11,250 euros in cash after threatening the victims
into opening the safe.
The terrified homeowners were left tied up in the
bathroom after the burglars
had gone.
The court charged them
with aggravated robbery,
but not with false imprisonment as the prosecution
service also requested.
Spa complex is in

Plans are afoot to build a

next to the new hospital in

Developing firm Promociones Alcoymorand intends to build the complex
on a piece of land it owns
near the La Xara roundabout and the Beniadlà plot
upon which the hospital is
planned.
The company, which is also
behind plans for the port
expansion, has proposed
the construction of a hotel
and therapeutic centre to
complement the new hospital.
It will also bear the cost of
the access road to the hospital, which will pass through
the spa grounds, plus a
roundabout, service station
and underground car park
with space for between 1,200
and 1,600 vehicles.
Town planner, Joan Frasés
says the local authority has
‘merely glanced through’
the plans and has not yet
made a decision. He reveals
the council will study the
paperwork in more depth.

A 44-year-old man has died
whilst diving off the coast
of Benitatxell.
The victim, from Torrent,
Valencia was scuba-diving
with a friend off the Cala
del Moraig when he suddenly lost consciousness
for no apparent reason.
Ambulances from SAMU
and the Asociación de
Amigos Europeos, based in
Jávea, rushed to the scene
and pulled the man out of
the waters of the cove.
However, they were unable
to revive him and he lost his
life shortly afterwards.
Medics confirmed that the
victim, a professional diver
with 20 years’ experience,
died from heart or respiratory failure. This illustrates
the difficulties that even
professionals may encounter in coastal waters.

‘Ancient’ ship
to turn into

A ghostly galleon, anchored

The Niña de Benalmádena
– moored on the Martell
pier – is a 17th-century ship
complete with cannons,
wine-store, mast and sails
which sailed over from Málaga this week.
Disappointingly for maritime history lovers, the galleon is in fact a replica of

iron rather than wood.
It first hit the waters five
years ago, but now will be
refurbished and turned into
a floating nightclub which
will sail to Ibiza where it
will spend the summer before returning to Dénia.

A young man accused of

26, followed her.
They resumed their conversation and kissed.
Next, the detainee grabbed
her by the arm and dragged
her into a cubicle, locking

Despite her persistent refusals, he pushed her to the

She begged him repeatedly

The victim suffered injuries to her neck, sternum

Racing driver Vallés
looks for sponsorship
Fans of talented Teulada
racing driver seek finance
Samantha Kett
Followers of Teulada-born
motor racing champ Adrián
Vallés set up a fan club in
his home town two years
ago, and its membership
has now reached 300.
The support Vallés receives from the association
that bears his name is fundamentally moral, although
he also has a small but wellmeant team of local sponsors. Business-owners in
Teulada put their tuppence
worth in, literally, although
according
to
president
Jorge Canet, “We can’t help
him out much financially,
but we want him to feel the
warmth of his people.”
“We have always known
he was a driver of great talent but we had the impres-
sion he was being left to his
own devices by the relevant
institutions both here in
Teulada and in the rest of
the region. That’s why we
decided to set up this fan
club,” Jorge continues.
“We’ve been following
Adrián since he was racing in go-karts. There’s no
doubt that with the success
he’s had, both of runnerup world champion in the
World Series and his leap to
Formula One, has made the
people of Teulada want to
support him.”
The work of the fan club,
the Asociación Automovilística Adrián Vallés is, according to the racing-driver’s father, ‘very positive’.
“Knowing that a town,
a district like the Marina
Alta or, in fact, an entire
region is behind him brings
enormous satisfaction,” reveals Antonio Vallés.
Thanks to his repeated
success, the Asociación Automovilística is now seeking sponsorship for Adrián.
They want to inform the
public about Vallés and his
racing career. Evidently, in
the world of motor racing
he is a household name, but
that is not the case outside
racing circles.
For this reason, a successful roadshow was held
on Friday at the Marriott
Hotel, near Dénia, with an
exhibition dedicated entirely to Vallés.
All his fans believe Adrián
will soon have a regular slot
on the Formula One circuit
throughout the coming
season. “One always has
to be optimistic, but that
is no reason not to work
hard,” comments Adrián’s
father. “Everything he has
achieved he has earned
through hard work…he has
a lot of talent, as his extensive achievements show.”
VALLÉS: Local support is immensely satisfying
The arduous uphill climb
towards a slot in the 2008
season has just begun and,
from a distance, Formula
One fans already have a
glimpse of Valencia’s future as a Grand Prix city on
the horizon. Adrián could
one day be racing in his
home region, which would,
say his fans, be a dream
come true.
Anyone interested in
sponsoring Adrián Vallés
or obtaining further information about his fan club
and future events, can contact Malcolm Sayer at U1st

Queues and parking Coke use soars in Marina Alta
turn off for tourists
Parking problems and traffic jams are tourists’ biggest headaches when they
arrive in the Marina Alta.
With the high season having
just begun, popular seaside
towns such as Dénia, Jávea,
Calpe and Moraira will see
their populations soar.
This means tailbacks and
nowhere to park, two of
the main problems tourists from big cities hope to
escape when they head to
the coast for their summer
break.
As yet, no town council in
any of these areas has been
able to find a solution to this
problem, which crops up
every year.
In Dénia, local businessowners have stressed that
the lack of car parks and the
need to re-order the flow of
traffic should be at the top
of councillors’ priority list
in their next meetings.
Cocaine consumption has
shot up amongst young
people in the Marina Alta,
warns a recent study.
The anti-drugs association
Controla Club published
a report this week that reveals a whopping 61 per
cent of illegal drugs are
consumed by the 15-20 year
age-group.
A further 30 per cent are
aged between 21 and 30, and
the remaining nine per cent
aged over 31.
Most
drug-consumption
takes place in nightclubs,
bars and at local fiestas.
The research shows that 29
per cent of drug-users do
so because their friends do;
28 per cent try it in order to
have ‘new experiences’ and
17 per cent to become more
successful or increase their
‘street cred’.
A further 17 per cent take
drugs to help them deal
with personal difficulties,
or on the contrary, to avoid
dealing with them.
A worrying 20 per cent of
consumers did not consider
that drug-use was dangerous.
The age factor dispels the
myth that cocaine is a drug
of the social élite and for
those with substantial financial wealth.
Controla Club’s findings
were considered questionable since it was thought
that teenagers and twentysomethings would not have
sufficient funds to buy these
quantities of drugs.
However, in some areas a
line of cocaine costs as little as 5€.
Controla Club’s latest campaign involves organising
activities for young people
that do not involve, or require, consumption of alcohol or other mood-altering
substances. In Dénia alone,
some 20,000 high school
students take part in these
events every year.

last Wednesday night.
Rheindors, saying this

them to leave.
When they refused to
budge, Rheindors called in
the Local Police who were
obliged to eject them from
the building.
Mayor Juan Cardona,
from the Partido Independiente y Democrático (PI-
DEM) explains the opposition parties had requested
somewhere to hold meetings at a council session
that morning.
Cardona agreed to this
but said he would need
time to decide which public
building they should use.
He believes the councillors in question decided to
take matters into their own
hands and use the town hall
meeting rooms without permission.
According to the mayor,
this was partly an act of defiance because each party
was upset at having lost the
elections.

N

next door to his ex-wife on
the first floor of an apartment block in Calle Colón.
He used an awl that is normally used to punch holes
into leather for shoes, to
kill his ex-wife. Leaving her
nearly dead on the landing
he entered his home, threw
his weapon from the balcony, then came out again
and smoked a cigarette
next to his victim until the
police arrived. He seemed
calm when they arrested
him. The bar owner from
the other side of the street
watched the horror scene,
alerted the police and then
rushed to give some first

Adrian why he did it; Adrian answered that anybody
could see this coming, and
threw away the cigarette

The killed mother is from Altea, and worked in the supermarket Mendoza in L’Alfàs del Pi. Her killer worked in
Callosa d’en Sarriá and cultivated loquat, also known as

The PSPV will govern Altea
without a majority
The mayor of Altea, the
socialist Andrés Ripoll, declared this week that he will
lead a minority government
and will come to individual
agreements with the Bloc
party after negotiations to
integrate their three councillors into the government
failed. The socialists had
offered them the departments of Fiestas and citizen
participation, health and
linguisitc
normalisation,
trade, tourism and municipal conservation, two exclusive dedications and two
people in the commissions
of the government. “I did
not cover all the expectations they had and did not
have an acceptable offer”,
said Ripoll, and thanked the
Bloc party for their interest
in forming a coalition with
the socialists, because he
thought their goal is to do
the best for the people. Ripoll explained that he did
not receive a counter offer
from Bloc and did not know
what they wanted. He said
that now it is time to start
ALTEA: Socialists have to collaborate with Bloc
working independently and
they may come to an agreement at a later date.
The only councillor that has
accepted the offer to join
the socialists is Carolina
Punset, the councillor of
the party Ciudadanos por
Altea. She will be part of the
government and be responsible for agriculture, foreign
residents, health and citizen
participation.
After the first days in power,
Ripoll has said that there is
a deficit of about 10 million
euros, but a more detailed
9
audit has not been done yet
to evaluate the exact figure.
The mayor criticised the
“waste” and “bad management” of the previous mayor, Miguel Ortiz.
The ex-mayor of the Partido
Popular had been in power
for the last 12 years. He was a
close friend of the president
of the Generalitat, Eduardo
Zaplana, and opposed Francisco Camps and his followers. The loss of the absoute
majority had hit him and
the party hard.
a judge dictated a restraining order for three months,
but it had to be archived
three days later because the
plaintiff renounced the legal actions.
In 2002 she impeded the
court trying to sentence her
husband because she renounced her accusations of
domestic violence. In 2003,
he was absolved of domestic violence, because the
“victim did not collaborate
with the court”, as stated in
the court documents.
The police took the killer
to the station of the Guar-
dia Civil in Villajoyosa,
therefore the court in Villajoyosa is now responsible
for the investigation of the
case.
The mayor of the village
with its 8,000 residents declared a day of mourning on
hearing of her death. The
flags on official buildings
were hoisted to half-mast
and everybody held five
minutes of silence. “Once
and for all we have to put an
end to domestic violence.
This degeneration must be
stopped,” were the words of
the mayor, Bautista Saval.
Hotel owners are
against the latest
audiovisual tax
The Spanish High Court
passed a sentence that
all hotels have to pay for
the audiovisual rights of
music and videos that are
emitted in their buildings.
This brings hotels in line
with the arrangement in
the United States. In hotels in the United States,
where the majority of
the entertainment is produced, there is variation
in the royalty fees that are
charged, as in some states
there is a reduction in royalty fees for hotels.
The new tax here will increase the price for the hotel services and will make
them less competitive.
The president of the hotel association, Hosbec,
Pere Joan Devesa, pointed
out that the business sector feels uneasy about the
payment of these author
rights for audiovisual material emitted in hotels.

Cinema Festival pays
homage to Díaz Yanes
The 19th festival shows 43
films in the original version
Sergi Castillo and

Today the 19th cinema festival in L’Alfàs del Pi is opening its doors to the public. It
is expected that more than
15,000 people will partake
in the events of the festival,
which ends on July 15. The
films are screened in the
usual places, the Casa de
Cultura, the Cinema Roma
and the beach Albir.
It will present 43 films,
six of which as a sample,
which is the main novelty of the festival. There
will be the cycle at the sea,
which this year will take up
10 days because it proved to
N
be very successful in previous years.
This year 218 short films
applied to participate in the
competition, and 18 were
chosen for the festival.
Last week the Casa de
Cultura in L’Alfàs del
Pi hosted a presentation
where the winners of the
main awards, the Faro de
Plata or Silver Lighthouse,
was announced to be the
director and scriptwriter of
the film Alatriste, Agustín
Díaz Yanes, and the actress
Asunción Balaguer. The
young actress Silvia Abascal will also receive a tribute at the closing gala.
Jordi Rebellón will be the
presenter at the opening
The history
The first cinema festival was celebrated in L’Alfàs del
Pi in the eighties, according to its director Juan Luis
Iborra. The different mayors of the town all supported
the festival as the promotional showcase for tourism in
the town.
Hundreds of Spanish actors visit the town during the
festival and turn it into a hub of activity for any film
lover.
All films are shown in the original version, and many
films are shown on the beach.
Small fiesta budget
causes frustration
The pregonero, fiesta opener
of the Moors and Christians
fiestas in Villajoyosa, Marcos Santapau, has stepped
down from his post after he
discovered that the budget
for this year’s celebration is
substantially smaller than
in previous years.
Santapau has been the fiesta
councillor for the last eight
years and the right hand of
the ex-mayor, José Miguel
Llorca. The president of
the association of the festivities, who appointed Santapau, Pedro Escrig and the
vice president, Jorge Mayor
Tonda, have connections to
property developers that
benefited from Llorca’s
policy.
Santapau’s
appointment
only days before the new
government was sworn in,
was interpreted as a challenge of the PP towards the
new cuatripartito government.
The budget for this year is
only 21,000 euros compared
to last year’s 440,000 euros.
In his declaration to step
down, Santapau accuses
the new government of
pressuring the fiesta association.
He says it is “an assault
of the rights of the people
in La Vila with amateurish methods, similar to the
ones of the dictatorship in
a banana republic, which
a left-wing government
has used never before.”
Without any self critique
he says that it has been a
witch hunt comparable to
the dark ages in Spain. He
called some of the councillor “ultras-right” and
the mayor Gaspar Lloret
“docile, manipulable and
frightened.” He accuses the
new government who left
the tills of the town empty
of “forgetting” the fiesta,
claiming additionally that
“they have never lived like
this and felt responsible for
the fiestas. They are blinded by envy, rancour and embarrassment.”
Despite the difficult financial situation, the councillor declared – without telling how – that these fiestas
would be the best ones in
history if he were to manage them.
FESTIVAL ORGANISERS: Vicente Arques and Juan Luis Iborra
gala and Luís Roderas will
be the presenter at the closing gala. The director, Vicente Arques, said, “it will
be a festival of a very high
quality.”
Among the star guests
will be Carlos Iglesias, Cristina Marcos, Sancho Gracia, Francisco Femenía and
José Salcedo.
The films will be shown
in their original version in
Spanish, English, French or
German. Tickets are available on the website of the
savings bank CAM, www.
cam.es.
A section of the festival
is dedicated to the collaboration with the NGO Doctors without frontiers, and
another section will show
films in Valencian.
The budget for the festival is 240,000 euros. Apart
from the films there will be
musical events and cultural
presentations to involve
the local population in the
event.
For the director, Vicente
Arques, who describes it as
the main promotional event
for the town, the work for
the big anniversary next
year has already begun.
“We are going to change
everything”, he said. The
town hall will give more
subsidies for the festival,
so that the festival will improve even more.

Jazz music under
Elche’s Palms
A good public turn out was
received for the first edition
at the Festival Nosolojazz
Curtis Stigers, Mastretta,
Silje Nergaard, Dyna
Kurtz, Fraskito and Chano
Domínguez entertained Elche
Esperanza Blanc
and Paloma Casco
One of the best cultural
events held in Elche, namely the Festival Nosolojazz,
took place on June 29 at the
Hort de Baix de Elche. The
municipal institute of culture and the producers of
the show, Ophelia Management, designed the program
with the aim of bringing
together some of the finest
international jazz artists.
This year’s festival opened
with Curtis Stigers playing
the saxaphone and Norway’s Silje Nergaard. The
following evening witnessed
a presentation from Mastretta (from Asturias, Spain)
and American Dayna Kurtz.
Meanwhile, the closing acts
were Elche’s Fraskito and
Chano Domínguez, from
Cádiz, also accompanied by
his trio of musicians.
Manolo
García
from
Ophelia Management, says,
“This is the fruit of dreams,
and all produced by good
music!”; which was the
common consensus. “Up
until now, people had to go
to different cities to see the
big jazz musicians. Elche
is the perfect place to hold
such events, it is a city destined to play host to other
shows”.
People from Elche (Ilicitanos) demonstrated their
enthusiasm for the musicians such as “The Dirty
Dozen Brass Band”, who
played on March 29 this
year.
“Music is the best form
of communication with
all cultures and Elche is
the crib of many different
cultures and creeds, which
is why we believe that jazz
will unite us all” affirms
Manolo García.
Daniel Sanchis, responsible for Ophelia Management, assured that the show
is not only original but also
uniquely placed. “It is the
only festival in the peninsula where these artists are
going to play and for some,
it is the first time they have
visited Spain. Fraskito, for
instance, presented his new
record here”.
This festival was held
in an area in the Hort de
Baix, which is incomparable to any other; a stretch
of land situated in the mid-
CURTIS STIGERS
dle of the city, surrounded
by palm trees, where the
citizens could experience
jazz beneath the palms. It
is an emblematic space, in
two large areas. The old
stage was transformed to
an ample sized platform
containing a large metallic structure for shelter,
if needed. In front, there
is an area with sufficient
space to hold dances; and
surrounding the stage are
the numbered seats, with a
sound and lighting booth.
Behind the back entrance
to the stage facing north
is a rustic bar called the
Rincón Jazztronómico, and
a space containing half a
dozen tables where staff
can enjoy a cold supper
served by employees from
some of the restaurants in
Elche, including produce
from a typical Elche bakery and bodega. Some of
the best international acts
performed at this venue,
uniting a crowd whose
only wish was to enjoy
an evening with excellent
music, and it seems there
were no disappointments.
GUY DAVIS
Elche has at its disposal the
ability to hold further jazz
shows, plus more events
on a national level. Further
still, during the acts, various producers were in attendance looking to find future contracts. It has been
reported that Radio 3 are
interested in airing their
show during the three-day
festival in the future. The
organiser of the Jazz Festival wished to announce,
in the name of Nosolojazz
(Not only jazz); that during
the festival, in the restaurant and eating quarters,
they happily united music
with Elche’s home grown
gastronomy. Some of the
best restaurants in the city
of Elche were represented,
including a stand that was
situated in the middle of
the area known as the Hort
de Baix. Here the staff enjoyed the live music whilst
watching the acts via large
screens that were installed
in the area, and adjoining
these tables was another
bar serving sandwiches.

to 2009. Some designs incorporate a look that may
be described as “luxury in
the form of art”, explains
the committee’s co-ordinator Maite Carpena. This

Accident
Brit saved
from fire
A 53-year-old British citizen suffered burns of the
first degree from a fire that
broke out on his motor boat
moored at the La Acequión
beach in Torrevieja.
Forty per cent of his body
was burnt, mainly his arms
and legs.
He was using an electric
drill that was connected
to the engine of the boat
to extract petrol from the
bilge. The drill sparked and
caused the deflagration.
The man jumped into the
water immediately and was
rescued by the employees
of the port.
The victim was taken to

treatment.
There were no other boats
affected by the fire.

Vega Baja
demands
social pact
The Association of Promoters and Developers in
the Vega Baja Procosta has
demanded a social pact to
turn residential tourism
into one of the solutions to
end the crisis of the building sector.
The president of the association, Antonio Navarro,
said that the tourist industry has been the only sector
to create new jobs in recent
years. He suggested that the
27 municipalities and representatives of the private
sector come to an agreement to define the economic future of the Vega Baja,
the areas to be protected
and to be developed, as well
as how to foster the tourist
industry. He also suggested
creating a compensation
fund for those municipalities whose territory is protected land and therefore
cannot generate money to
sustain the municipality.
According to Navarro, the
area has suffered a sales
crisis for many years.
Prices and interest have
increased steadily and the
majority of the buyers are
foreign. Property prices
have tripled over the last
ten years, and the image of
the Costa Blanca has equally deteriorated in the eyes
of the Brits, from a peaceful holiday resort to a problem area where there is not
enough work.

Building site tips its
waste water into sea
Green Party angered by
continual disregard for good
environmental practice
Alicia Negre and
Cornelia Muller
A developer of a new complex on the Acequión close
to the port seems to pour
the dirty water of the building work directly into the
sea.
According to the Green
Party in Torrevieja who
discovered this ecological
flaw, the town hall, and in
particular the councillor
for urban development and
beaches, turned a blind eye
to the disposal of the dirty
water into an area next to
the beach.
In a communiqué, they
say that the developer installed a PVC pipe from the
building site to the edge
of the sea so that the dirty
water that is full of cement,
plaster and other construction material flows directly
from the site into the sea.
The water has already created dirty marks along the
coast in Torrevieja.
However, the Green Party
says that this pipe is not
the only problem. The dirty
mark has also been created
by the continuous digging
of the salt works at the
bottom of the sea and the
intense dumping of stones
and other dry material in
the port area.
This contamination has
raised the question if the
beaches are suitable for the
thousands of tourists that
come here for their summer holiday and bathe in
the sea.
As a result, the Green
Party is demanding an exhaustive study on the water quality and a more responsible attitude from the
mayor.
They also say that the
mayor could not legitimately continue his post if he
approved both the works of
the new marina and the dismantling of the breakwaters where the fishing fleet
used to moor their boats, let
alone turning a blind eye to
the illegal dumping.
ECOLOGICAL FLAW: Effluent dumped straight into sea waters

More demands for lower noise levels
The complaint on the quality of water
on the Acequión beach is not the only issue the Green Party has raised this week.
They also presented a proposition to the

to exceed compliance with the law for the
prevention of acoustic contamination in

International fraud
over the internet
Last week the Guardia
Civil in Torrevieja arrested
two members of an international gang of Internet
fraudsters. Apparently they
made at least one million
euros through their dealings in various different
countries.
The arrested couple is a
man of German nationality and his Brazilian partner, who possibly was the
German’s business partner,
too. They were arrested on
Tuesday, June 25 in a property in one of the urbanisations in Torrevieja were
they were hiding.
Fortunately, the swift actions of the Guardia Civil
could avoid the gang establishing its practices in this
country. However, the Guardia Civil officers could see
that the preparations for
the business launch were
already very advanced.
The gang operates via
false companies that are
created on the Internet. The
Guardia Civil has revealed
that the gang has operated
under at least 15 fictitious
company names.
The detainees acted as
intermediaries of some
businessmen who they defrauded by means of forging inscription documents.
Successful
rescue
The Guardia Civil rescued
a Russian citizen, who had
gone for a swim with his
dog on the Playa de los Náufragos. The 50-year-old gentleman went into the water
when he saw that his dog
was in trouble, as it seemed
unable to return to the shore and could drown.
Fortunately, two Guardia
Civil officers, who happened to do their patrol on
the beach at that moment
and were alerted by other
bathers, started the rescue.
Another officer from Girona in Cataluña, who spent
his holidays here, came to
help, too. They used a boat
that was anchored next to
the beach to bring the incident to a good end.
Both the Russian gentleman
and his dog are now well.

ILLEGAL BUSINESS: Members of international gang arrested for internet fraud
The information revealed
indicates that the fraudsters made 1,400 to 1,500 euros per deal. They may have
completed about 700 deals,
so it was possible to calculate how much money the
couple had already made.
Both
detainees
have
now been transferred to
the Spanish High Court
for Crime in Madrid to be
either sentenced or extradited to their countries of
origin.
Curb on foreign “pirate taxis” Single-handed birth
A 36-year-old South American woman gave birth to

The neighbour called the

flat. By the time the ambulance arrived and tried to

than legal taxis. They can
afford to do it since they do
not have to pay taxes and
duties for their business
activity. The fact that the
majority of the illegal taxi
drivers are foreign, just like
their customers, helps them
not to be discovered and to
continue their activities.
The registered taxi drivers

Most of the money was

by means of wells. In addition there was some modernisation of the irrigation
system for local farmers.
Finally, there was improvement of the infrastructure
of the water transfer canal
system between the rivers
Tajo and Segura.
According to the hydrographical confederation of

of the Spanish government
to resolve the drought problems, with a multitude of

A breakdown in the mobile telephone network left
thousands of people with

the region on Friday.
From around 20.00hrs last
Thursday night and for
most of the following morning, those on the Movistar
network were unable to
make or receive calls or text
messages.
Calls between landlines and
mobile telephones were also
made impossible by the interruption in supply, meaning the number of affected
users was even higher.
Movistar technicians, when
contacted by customers, recognised there was a breakdown in the line but did not
offer further information
or any explanation. They
worked for several hours
to restore the network as
quickly as possible.

Security controls have been
upped dramatically following Basque terrorist cell
ETA’s announcement that
it had ended its ceasefire.
This, combined with the habitual summer crimewave,
has led to a huge rise in police officers patrolling the

A total of 1,862 officers
– comprising 741 from the
Guardia Civil and 1,117 from
the National Police – will be
on the beat throughout the
next three months.
This is 180 more than last
year, given that ETA frequently targets tourist areas when planning attacks.

Sacking of minister
comes unexpectedly
The Herranz sacking causes
shock and upset among her
colleagues and constituents
Daniel Vidal and
Samantha Kett
Murcia’s regional parliament was left reeling last
week after the unexpected
sacking of health minister
María Teresa (Maite) Herranz.
On Wednesday, say politicians, she turned off her
mobile after receiving literally hundreds of calls from
doctors, colleagues, union
members and other major
medical personnel offering
her support.
Sources close to the minister were surprised, saying she had always been
‘the darling of the Valcárcel government’.
In fact, president Ramón
Luis Valcárcel was unable to hide his satisfaction
when he took Herranz on
N
in 2004, having headhunted
her from her position as a
doctor in the Morales Meseguer hospital.
Herranz quickly became
accustomed to the political scene, a way of life that
was totally alien to her and
gradually
restructured
the region’s medical team
giving priority to medical
techniques rather than political red tape.
Her decisions were always popular with the regional president.
No
explanations
or
details were revealed at
the time of the decision,
which came totally out of
the blue, say Herranz’ colleagues.
They do not believe the
decision to fire the minister was in any way connected with her political
actions and can only as-

Murcia regional government – a new look
The new regional government will have
a female second-in-command for the first
time ever.
María Pedro Reverte, the new minister for
taxation and public administration will
also be secretary-general to the president.
Pedro Reverte will stand in for Ramón
Luis Valcárcel as acting president in the
event he temporarily has to suspend his
workload.
Three new ministries have also been set
up and half of the twelve ministers are
also new. In addition to Pedro Reverte and
María Ángeles Palacios, there are four others including José Ballesta, Pedro Alberto
Cruz, Juan Antonio de Heras and Constantino Sotoca.
Ten ministries will be restructured, with
only the health department and agriculture remaining intact. Technology and society – previously part of the ministry for
industry – will pass into the hands of De
Heras, leader of youth, sports and women’s issues.
Economy, commerce and innovation will
be led by Inmaculada García along with
industry, environment and tourism. His
wife’s nephew, Pedro Alberto Cruz, director of the Centre for Advanced Studies in
Contemporary Art (CENDEAC) will be responsible for culture and sports.
José Pablo Ruiz Abellán will take over
management of leisure ports and the coast
whilst Benito Mercader will be in charge
of sustainable development and town
planning.
Finally, eliminating the ministry of work
and social policy has given way to two new

nation amongst the medical sector.
Already, by the following
day, health professionals
were resigning by text message in the region’s main
hospitals.
Even those who did not
know Maite Herranz personally are particularly
annoyed at the president’s
move, since they consider
it was based on ‘personal
factors’ rather than the
quality of her work, and
call it ‘demoralising’.
Herranz called her team
together and told them ‘not
to be so childish’ and that
the best way to support her
was to carry on the work
she had dedicated herself
to for three years.
However, minutes later,
she broke down in tears in
front of her followers. The
mother of three little girls
was crying in anger, say
her colleagues.
Around a thousand civil
servants bid farewell to her
amid applause on Wednesday night. Her position
will be filled by councillor
for income taxes for Cartagena, María Ángeles Palacios.
A tearful farewell
On Thursday, Herranz
read a speech, amid tears,
thanking her colleagues
for their support over the
years.
“We can all be proud of
what we have achieved, because we have done what
we had to do, no more, no
less,” Herranz declared.
The reasons for her dismissal have not been revealed either to the public
or other politicians within
the regional parliament.
Herranz warned that the
health service needed the
financial support of a government “because we all
need to convince them that
health and knowledge is
wealth…this is the fundamental engine of a country
and a region.”
Herranz called for a deal
to be drawn up with the
central government covering healthcare in all 17 autonomous regions.
Flying the blue flag for 22 of Murcia’s beaches as
they pass stringent and exacting quality standards
A total of 22 blue flags – two
less than in 2006 – will fly
on beaches in the Murcia
region this summer.
The leisure port in Águilas,
plus 21 beaches in the Mar
Menor and Mazarrón areas
have received this prestigious European award in
recognition of their cleanliness and quality.
This award has been handed out every year since
1987 by the Foundation for
Environmental Education,
which is present in 55 countries.
For 2007, the beaches that
have won a blue flag are
La Llana (Las Salinas) in
San Pedro del Pinatar; La
Puntica, on the Mar Menor;
El Castillico beach in San
Javier on the Mar Menor;
Banco del Tabal beach on
the Mar Mayor; Los Narejos, Manzanares, Las Palmeras and El Espejo in Los
Alcázares; Mar de Cristal,
Levante Cabo de Palos,
Galúa and Cala Cortina in
the Cartagena area.
In Mazarrón, the beaches
of Castellar, Rihuete, Bahía
and Nares, together with
Águilas’ leisure port and its
Calabardina, Las Delicias,
Poniente and La Colonia
beaches.
Las Salinas wetlands have
received a special award for
the fourth year running.
N
Blue flags – the criteria
Cecilio Castro of ALDEAC, the Spanish arm of the
Foundation for Environmental Education, explains
that the criteria for awarding blue flags is heavily concentrated on the cleanliness of the water, ease of access
to the beach for disabled persons, and services provided
such as beach-cleaning, lifeguards and first aid.
Castro explains that obtaining a blue flag is a source
of great pride for a municipality because the fact they
may receive the award one year does not necessarily
mean they will receive it the next. Beaches and ports
are put through a stringent evaluation process by an international jury, says Castro, and every year the standards become harder and more exacting.

Murcia will fine cruel
owners dumping dogs
Owners abandon pets in the
street or countryside rather
than take them to the pound
Lola López and
Samantha Kett
The summer sees an increase in the number of cats
and dogs left to wander the
streets and fend for themselves, says the council’s
department of health.
Children may be given
a pet as a reward for doing
well at school, but once the
N
summer holidays arrive, a
pet can turn out to be too
much responsibility for the
family. Additionally, family
holidays mean animals are
often abandoned when people are unable to travel with
their pets.
The local dog sanctuary, known as the Centro
de Zoonosis, took in a total
of 425 dogs last July. The
monthly average for 2006
was 318 pets.
Changing family situations
Antonio Peñalver, head of Centro Zoonosis, says that
day after day the pound collects dogs abandoned on
the streets of Murcia and occasionally from people’s
homes.
The main cause of people abandoning animals is a
change in the family situation, he reveals.
With so many summers’ experience of a deluge of dogs
arriving through the doors, Peñalver predicts the numbers this year will be much the same as in 2006.
Dogs abandoned in the street, he says, are usually in extremely poor condition – undernourished, dehydrated,
infested with worms and fleas, and with other ailments.
Those animals taken in directly from people’s homes
tend to be in better shape.
ABANDONED: Deluge of dogs expected this summer as cruel owners dump them
Some 40 per cent of owners who decide they no longer wish to keep their pets
simply abandon them in the
street or in the countryside.
Only 15 per cent take them
to the dog sanctuary.
Councillor for health Fulgencio Cervantes reveals
the dog pound takes in pets
free of charge. It is located
on C/ Torremolina de la Albatalía and can be contacted by calling 968 29 75 78.
The sanctuary will collect
pets from owners’ homes, or
owners may bring their animal directly to the pound.
Cervantes stresses that in
addition to being traumatic
for the animal and putting
its life in danger, abandoning pets can cause traffic
accidents.
People who abandon their
pets can be fined, according
to laws covering animal
cruelty, between 1,500 and
3,000 euros.
The municipal pound
took in 1,761 dogs between
January and May this year,
including new puppies born
on the premises. A total
of 1,794 left the centre, of
which 272 were adopted and
the rest returned to their
owners.
During the same period in
2006, some 1,486 dogs came
into the Centro de Zoonosis
and 1,446 were rehomed.
Green Cash
Applications for funding
will be studied by ‘green’
technicians at the city
council and cash supplied
will depend upon how
beneficial to the environment the householder’s or
business’ proposal is.
Grants range from 500
euros per home, reaching
18,000 for buildings under
construction depending
upon their size and use.
Those seeking funds have
until Saturday, July 14 to
file their application with
the city council.
This benefit scheme has
been running since 2001
and the council’s environmental department has so
far handed out 280 grants,
totalling 700,000 euros.

Grants to ‘go green’ up for grabs
Householders keen to go
green will get a grant from
the government if they apply early enough, says Murcia city council.
The local authority, hoping
to promote environmentally-friendly energy, is offering financial assistance
to homeowners who wish
to install solar panels and
other alternative energy installations.
Anyone who has not put in
their application for a grant
still has time to do so, as the
local government has a pot
of 74,000 euros available.
Solar panels produce renewable,

that converts to electricity
and is sufficiently reliable
to use for water-heating,
lighting and domestic appliances, either for private
individuals or for businesses. Shops, offices, schools,
bars, restaurants and even
health centres can use solar

their operations.
Grants may also be available for homeowners wishing to install double glazing
or sound-proofing insulation, as part of the council’s
campaign to reduce noise

Judge investigates claims

Yet another corruption case

The residents of Cartagena
and Guadalentín are living
through surprising and
worrying times as a new
judicial investigation has
cast a further cloud over
the urbanisation policies
of several local councils.
San Javier judge, Aránzazu
Moreno, turned up at Torre
Pacheco Town Hall recently
and took away between 20-30
dossiers relating to urbanisation projects undertaken
during the last three years,
and now the same thing has
happened in Fuente Álamo.
Both are part of the same

corruption.

Neo-Mudéjar
palace to be
restored
Mar Menor Tourism Council have approved plans to
restore the Palace of the
Barón de Benifayó and convert it into an archaeology
and ethnographical museum at a potential cost of
985,000 euros. The Palace
of the Barón de Banifayó,
known locally as the Russian House, is a rectangular-shaped building with
load bearing walls that
divide it up into two large
longitudinal bays. It is a
rural yet palatial residence
built in a Romantic castle
style with turrets and towers adorning the frontage.
It is a magnificent example
of Neo-Mudéjar architecture and was designed by
the Madrid-based architect,
Álvarez Capra, in 1878.
use undertaken in the town.
The court order, which, in
the case of Torre Pacheco,
resulted in the confiscation of 200 boxes of files
(although many of them
were returned within a few
days), led to the seizure of
five boxes of documents
concerning five companies contracted by Fuente
Álamo town council. Mayor
María Antonia Conesa said
that she has full confidence
in the investigation which
she said she hopes will
reach its findings correctly
and as soon as possible to
prevent uncertainty and
rumours. Conesa also said
that she was relaxed and
fully prepared to collaborate with the investigating
team.
Sources close to the investigation confirmed that
the files had been seized by
Guardia Civil court officers
on the orders of the judge,
who had asked for a list
of companies contracted
EVIDENCE: Files were seized by officers pending an investigation
by the Town Hall. One of
these companies is Construcciones Torre Pacheco
which belongs to Facundo
Armero, the former owner
of Polaris World, which has
built a number of residential estates in the region
where dozens of British expats live.
Strict legality
According to the mayor,
the five dossiers “consist of
five folders which fitted into
one box,” although the officers reportedly took away
several boxes in the back of
a small van. Conesa refutes
suggestions that there are
similarities with the Torre
Pacheco case, but there is
growing unrest among locals who are beginning to
suspect that the council has
indeed been giving preferential treatment to certain
companies and starting to
believe the corruption rumours. The officers were
dressed in plain clothes to
minimise the impact on the
public.
Councillors from Fuente
Álamo Town Hall, which
now falls under the same
corruption spotlight as other Town Halls in the region
such as Cartagena, Los Alcázares, San Javier, Alhama
among others, deny having
received illegal commission payments for licences
granted to construction
company bosses. The inquiry, which started after a
complaint filed by a private
individual with Murcia’s
Superior Justice Tribunal
(TSJ), who passed the case
on to Cartagena, coincides
with a number of similar investigations all over
Spain into allegations that
town councils have been accepting backhanders from
building companies among
other offences.
Some mayors and councillors are being held in
jail pending trial, the best
known of whom being
former Marbella mayor, Julián Muñoz, who was jailed
a few months ago along
with a number of councillors, council staff and construction bosses.
Three week ‘Mar de Músicas’ will
showcase Mexican culture
The 13th edition of the ‘Mar
de Músicas’ festival, one of
the most important in Europe, will be held in Cartagena from July 6-28. Its main
aim is to showcase Mexico’s
contribution in the fields
of music, art, cinema and
literature. The festival will
demonstrate that Mexico is
one of the foremost cultural
creators in the world. The
‘Mar de Músicas’, which is
organised by the Culture
department of Cartagena
Town Hall, continues its
policy of exhibiting the cultural wealth of a particular
country after previous festivals focused on South Africa, Turkey, Argentina, India, Cartagenas del Mundo,
Mali, Brazil, Senegal and
Cuba. This year’s festival
will kick off with a special
show featuring Lila Downs
and Calexico.
Lila Downs, who re-invented traditional Mexican
music, and Caleixico, who
is the best-known exponent
of US-Mexico frontier music, will be acompanied by
the Spanish singer, Amparo
Sánchez from Amparanoia,
in a show that has been specially designed to inaugu-
rate ‘Mar de Músicas 2007’.
This year’s Mexican Special will comprise around
fifty concerts, ten exhibitions, forty authors and
some thirty films, turning
Cartagena into the cultural
capital of Mexico. Organisers have programmed
performances
representing all of Mexico’s sounds,
that will enable the public
to sample from the most
traditional music to the
most advanced sounds of
present-day Mexico. In this
way, following the performance of Lila Downs, the
‘Mar de Músicas’ will play
host to Shock Bukara, who
are the founders and chief
promoters of acid cabaret,
a hybrid of Mexican sounds
fused with electro-pop.
Rocker, Cecilia Toussaint,
will perform the songs of
one of Mexico’s greatest
singer-songwriters,
Consuelo Velázquez, who wrote
the extremely well-known,
Bésame Mucho. The ‘jarocho’ sound, which is one of
Mexico’s most traditional
sounds and which comes
from Veracruz State, will be
represented at the festival
by Son de Madera and La
Negra Graciana. The Colectivo Nortec, which is the
country’s foremost group
of DJs, video jockeys and
electronic music creators,
will, in their own words,
perform “First World music created in the Third
World.” The Agustín Lara
Experience is a project that
converts the songs of the
‘flaco de oro’ into cutting
edge dance tunes. Considered to be the best singer in
Mexico, Eugenia León will
attend the festival to why
she is the country’s biggest
star.
It would not be a Mexican
festival without ‘mariachi’,
and Real de Jalisco will
turn Cartagena’s Town
Hall Square into the Plaza
Garibaldi, for a few hours
at least.
And if ‘mariachi’ is indispensable, the Mexican festival will also pay tribute to
Armando Manzanero, the
greatest composer of all, at
a special gala night when
Mexican music will be accompanied by the Murcian
Symphonic Orchestra and
several other artists keen to
join the homage.

BENIFAIRÓ: The bell tower
La Valldigna
Exploring the fair valley
By Samantha Kett
Photos: Juanjo Peret
LA DROVA: Picturesque font
A most fair valley for a day’s
sightseeing, walking or dipping one’s toes in the waters
of the Mediterranean,
tourists have been drawn
to one of the most picturesque parts of La Safor’s
countryside for centuries.
Since 1298, in fact, when
King Jaime II stood at the
viewpoint in Barx – where
carloads of picnickers now
soak up the sun when the
weather is more favourable
and admire the views of
orange groves far below –
and remarked to the Abbot
Santes Creues, “quina vall
més digna per a un monestir
per la teua religió.”
“Una vall digna, senyor,”
affirmed the Abbot, according to legend.
So the Valldigna, or fair
valley, was christened, and
the monastery that the king
told the Abbot would be ideally placed there was built
soon afterwards at Simat,
one of the four municipalities that make up the area.
Set in the heart of the
southern Valencia-province
borough of La Safor, the
Valldigna has mountains
and sea, orange groves and
pine forests, crumbling
churches and ornate monuments, all within the space
of just a few square kilometres. Each of the four
towns has its own, and very
different, stamp and some
unexpected attractions at
every turn.
Tavernes
Starting from the AP-7, or
the N-332 heading north
from Gandia, the largest of
the Valldigna’s four villages
is Tavernes, a magnet for
Spanish tourists in summer.
Whilst mostly undiscovered
by European sunseekers,
its six kilometres of wide,
sweeping shoreline comes
to life when the temperature
hots up and visitors from
inland Spain flock there
armed with lilos and picnic
baskets to soak up the
rays. It is unique, insofar
as the beach is cordoned
off, not by high-rise blocks
and English pubs, but
by the undulating, green
landscape of the Sierra
Ombria culminating in the
natural spring el Clot de
la Font. There are views
from Playa de Tavernes
and its neighbouring Playa
de la Goleta that go beyond
staked-out bodies turning
an angry red in the midday
sun. From l’Alt de la Creu
viewpoint, you can see
Xeraco and the famous
Torre Guaita watchtower to
the south, and to the north,
Cullera with its Manhattan
skyline.
Inside the town itself, look
out for the inviting cafés
on the Alzira road, or to
the left – when heading
in a northerly direction
– the small but cosy-looking plaza from where the
calvario leading to the 19th
century Santíssim Crist
de la Sang chapel starts.
This calvario – a pathway
winding up a hill bearing
images of the crucifixion
– is one of the best-preserved in the Comunitat
Valenciana.
On the way down and
back to the plaza again,
you will pass the recentlyrenovated 18th century Sant
Pere Apòstol church with
an ancient sundial on the
façade.

BARX: An 18th century nevera or fridge to store snow and ice
Benifairó
Deeper inland, tucked away
between the Mondúver
massif and the Sierra
Agulles, is what used to
be an Arab smallholding
but was a gift to the valley
by Jaime I as a thanks for
allowing him to build the
monastery at Simat. This
present from Jaime I is
now, still, little more than
a hamlet but a quaint,
picturesque
one
with
narrow, cobbled streets and
an ornate church with an
elaborate temple bearing a
Latin cross.
This 17th century chapel
is home to the image of
Benifairó’s patron saint,
San Benito – or what is left
of it, in any case – and one
of La Safor’s best-known
paintings, a Renaissance
image of the Immaculate
Conception.
In the centre of an attractive, green picnic area
flanked with pine trees is
the small, square-shaped
Sant Miquel chapel with
its tiled altarpiece. Visitors
should be aware, however
that, like the other chapel,
they will only be able to
enter at restricted times
such as when there is a
service.
If you are feeling energetic
and do not suffer too much
with vertigo, take a trip
skywards to the Moorish
Alfàndec castle some three
kilometres out of the village. After climbing a craggy hillside, in addition to
the castle itself – a strange
blend of Mediaeval Islamic
and Christian architecture
– you can enjoy panoramic
views of the valley and take
in the magnitude of the
historical influence that
has led to what it is today.
En route to both the capital
and the coast, the paths of
what is now Benifairó were
well-trodden by prehistorical civilisations long before
the Moors came along. The
shattered remains of the
now-defunct village of
Alfulell, dug up some years
ago by archaeologists, sit
at the foot of the castle
which, in its day, was a safe
outpost for the villagers
to hide from invaders during the war between the
kingdoms of Castilla and
Aragón.
Most of Benifairó’s attractions lay outside the village
which, unless you have a
car with hinges in the middle to help you around the
impossibly-tight corners
where claustrophobicallynarrow lanes join, is best
explored on foot. Amongst
these attractions are the
spectacular countryside
including the Sierra de
Agulles, a mountain range
that owes its name to agujas (needles) of stone found
there, and two ravines –
the Cardona and Castells
– which can be crossed on
foot.
Simat
Heading further along the
road towards Xàtiva, you
will reach a town of 3,000
inhabitants whose main
attraction is, arguably,
one of La Safor’s two bestknown monasteries. One of
these is the Sant Jeroni de
Cotalba, in Alfauir, and the
other is the Santa María
de la Valldigna – the one
Jaime II was talking to the
Abbot about building when
he stood at the viewpoint in
Barx more than 700 years
ago.
The
monastery
was
founded in 1298 but took
so long to build that the
original construction even
has Baroque influences,
although it has to be said
that various battles and
a couple of earthquakes
meant the building process
did not run as smoothly as
one would have hoped.
In the grounds – parts of
which are still being dug up
by archaeologists and have
proven to contain Italian
Renaissance ceramics in the
last two years – visitors can
wander freely amongst the
orange groves and observe
the sophisticated clay pipe
systems that existed underground. Renovation works
to what used to be the most
powerful monastery in
the Kingdom of Valencia
remain ongoing, but have
not, thankfully, changed
the face of its original and
rather unique architecture. When you walk into
the main building, look
upwards. The multi-coloured, intricate and painstaking architecture of the
Baroque ceiling speaks of
class, wealth, artists with
talent and aristocracy with
the money and good taste
to employ them. The monastery, and particularly its
ceiling is a real jewel in the
crown of the Valldigna’s
architecture.
Nature-lovers can marvel at
the centuries’-old olive tree
outside the main entrance
to the monastery, and enjoy
a pit-stop in the sunshine
at the picnic site near the
natural spring, Font Gran,
whose purpose used to be
more than decorative – they
provided irrigation for
farmland throughout the
entire valley.
Those who enjoy a bit of
greenery and are not afraid
of sore feet could take a
walk through the natural
reserves of Les Foietes and
Pla de Corrals, both flat,
green plains that stand at
around 600 metres above
sea-level and offer a splendid view of the Font del
Cirer and Les Arcades
aqueduct.
Barx
Little more than a street
and a square, Barx is
nevertheless
one
of
the
Valldigna’s
most
picturesque municipalities.
Surrounded by pine forest
and standing some 400
metres above sea-level,
the Les Foietes viewpoint,
with its natural spring
and picnic area, affords
a view of a patchwork of
orange groves, heath and
scrubland in various shades
of jade and emerald green,
mountains and woodlands
and, far below, the tiny
toy-town of Simat with the
monastery spire in all its
splendour.
Winding your way through
mountain
passes
and
climbing steadily higher,
you will see why Barx has
been declared an international site of geological
interest – you can pick out
the mountains of Avenc
de la Donzella and Penya
Blanca, which hide natural
reservoirs that once kept
the humble homes of the
valley irrigated, and the
Aldaia chasm at the foot of
the Sierra del Toro which is
said to be around 65 metres
in depth. A permanent torrent of freezing cold air
that gushes through the
rock-face of the geological
peculiarity Forat de l’Aire,
in the side of the gorge,
is one of Barx’s best-kept
secrets and its origins have
puzzled historians for hundreds of years.
On the subject of all things
freezing cold, Barx is
renowned for its fridges.
Not the type that most of
us have in our kitchens,
but an 18th century version
that comprised a semi-submerged stone vat in which
snow was stored during the
winter, brought out into
the open and used either as
water or ancient ice-cubes
in the summer.
In summer, what used to
be the nature reserve of La
Drova, and is now a small
hamlet belonging to Barx,
was heavily popular with
the monks from the Santa
María monastery in Simat.
Used as a holiday refuge
and shelter for convalescing, it remains a popular haunt today for those
wanting to escape both the
swarming coasts and the
sizzling city streets in July
and August.
Back down the mountain
via the same windy road,
through more dense pineforest and unspoilt hillsides
that remain – thankfully –
urbanisation-free, you will
eventually reach the N-332
and the northern entrance
to Gandia again.
Handily close to the latter
with its packed shopping
streets, buzzing nightlife,
busy port and lively beaches, easy to reach by goodquality roads from civilisation and yet remote enough
that you can enjoy the peace
and quiet of being buried
deep in the countryside, the
Valldigna is perfect for a
day out, a weekend away or
to live all year round.

Eating two or three bananas a day is an
excellent remedy for depression, according to new research. The fruit’s high
content of tryptophan, a natural antidepressant, maintains levels of serotonin
in the brain and improves mood. But to
stave off depression, an intake of two to
three bananas a day is necessary. Ok, so
that amount may give you indigestion,
but eating bananas is great for increasing
levels of Vitamins A, C, K and B6, a lack
of which can cause insomnia, weakness
and irritability. In addition, bananas do not
produce cholesterol nor cause obesity,
but minimise the risk of heart attacks and
contribute to reinforcing muscular mass
and energy, especially in children.

I get very dry itchy eyes during the
summer months and find it almost
impossible to wear my contact lenses.
What’s the best way to soothe them?
Itchy eyes could very possibly be a symptom of hay fever, so if you’ve never been
diagnosed, visit your doctor or pharmacist for a correct diagnosis and advice.
Over-the-counter drops are available
from pharmacies, which soothe dry eyes
– and the great news is they can be used
with contact lenses. If this doesn’t help,
you may have to resort to using glasses
in the summer so you can use allergy
eye drops. These days, there are some
fantastic frames around that suit all face
shapes and skin colour. Pop into your local optician’s to see what’s available.

Q
Q
My granddaughter is 15 years old and has a boyfriend of 17. She lies to her
parents about her whereabouts so that she can spend time with her boyfriend,
including overnight. Her parents punished her by taking away her laptop and
mobile. Her dad is firm with her but her mum gives in to her. The next morning
she took an overdose of tablets and was taken to hospital. She is okay but the
hospital counsellor suggested that they put everything behind them and start
again with a clean slate. I am worried about this advice as surely this is a signal
to my granddaughter that taking tablets makes everything is okay. What is your
advice?
A
I don’t know why the
hospital
counsellor
suggested that the family
start with a clean slate and
not talk about the problems.
Perhaps she was concerned
about the vulnerability
of
your granddaughter
and that if her parents
quarrelled or criticised her
that this might push her
to the edge. I agree that
your granddaughter is an
unhappy teenager and that
she needs help to address
her difficulties.
Your granddaughter seems to be in the “struggle”
stage of adolescence and
her parents need to hang in
there with her and not give
up on her. Parents need to
challenge their children’s
tantrums, hostility, rebellion and angry outbursts
and children need to have
someone say “no” to them
and to feel that their parents are stronger than
them.
It is crucial that
both parents work together,
supporting each other and
that they have an agreed
unified approach to dealing
with your granddaughter.
If the parents are unable
to do this I would strongly
suggest that they seek therapeutic help.
The parents need to enter
the struggle, stand their
ground and have expectations of giving her limits
and consequences of her
decisions. The consequences need to concentrate primarily on what they want
them to achieve and not on
what they don’t want them
to do. For example, “We
expect you to return home
after seeing your boyfriend
at..... If you don’t do this
you will not be allowed to
see him for .....days.” It is
important only to set consequences that they are
prepared to apply, empty
threats only backfire. Expectations, limits and consequences are necessary so
that teenagers learn.
Parents need to be consistent, firm and to listen carefully. It is important to
match the child’s intensity
with their own intensity.
Your granddaughter needs
to hear often from both
parents “I love you” but “I
don’t like what you are doing.”
One of the central issues
in the mind of your granddaughter seems to be her
contact with her boyfriend.
The parents could support
their daughter and suggest
inviting the boyfriend over
for a meal, getting to know
him better and encouraging
her to spend more time with
him in their home. Parents
need to listen carefully to
their children so they can
understand their conflicts
and dilemmas. Your granddaughter needs to know
that her parents understand
her internal and external
struggles and to be given support so that she can achieve her goals in more acceptable ways.
Your granddaughter sounds
very angry and possibly
does not know how to channel her anger other than
lying and defying her parents or turning her anger
on herself and hurting
herself. Most people who
attempt to overdose have a
low opinion of themselves
and their internal dialogue
with themselves is very
critical. If this is the case
your granddaughter will
need some help to change
and I hope that she is being
offered some counselling support to do this.

My persistent visits to a local doctor are being fobbed off as hypochondria.
Should I change doctors?
A
This question is a
minefield. For instance,
when is hypochondria, NOT
hypochondria?
One dictionary definition
of hypochondria is: chronic
abnormal anxiety concerning the state of one’s health, even in the absence of
any evidence of disease on
medical examination.
You do not mention the conditions or symptoms that
are prompting your visits
to the doctor, nor do you
mention that any checks
have been made, so I have to
reply to this question in the
broadest of terms.
My intent is to give guidance
regarding your feelings that
“something is wrong with
you medically”.
First of all, the length of
time that you have had particular symptoms without
them proceeding any further
can give a clue. For instance, a lesion on the skin that
has been present for 10 or 20
years and has never changed
is unlikely to be a problem.
However, if such a lesion has
suddenly begun to change it
is important.
Hypochondria should NEVER be diagnosed without
a full history being taken,
and a thorough examination
of the patient carried out by
the doctor in the clinic, and
if appropriate, other tests
such as Xrays, blood tests,
and scans should be done
[this list is not exhaustive].
Where a patient continues to
feel concerned, a second opinion should be sought from
an appropriate consultant.
Now, all the checks have been
done that the GP believes
appropriate, the consultant
has found nothing abnormal, but you are still feeling
that “something is wrong”.
This is the point at which many doctors diagnose
anxiety and/or depression
as possible causes. Sometimes this is correct and sometimes not.
One thing is certain, any one
that feels unwell for a long
period of time without explanation [or a solution] will
become anxious and possibly depressed.
An approach to this circular
problem that I have found
helpful [and I hope my patients have too] has been to
accept that the only person
that knows how it feels to
be in their body is the person themselves. So I accept
the symptoms as they are
presented and seek a cause
beyond the body.
Many people have stomach
ache, neck pains, headaches, dizziness and other
symptoms that are unexplained by any tests in the traditional armamentarium.
It may be helpful to offer alternative medicine testing
techniques. These often point to troubles as yet ill-defined or invisible to traditional
testing. The proof of their
correctness will come if the
measures then taken help or
clear up the troubles.
Sometimes both the patient and doctor arrive at
the “anxiety only” diagnosis. Being sent home with
this information may allow
some patients to feel better,
but often the lingering uncertainty, causes the same
symptoms to exacerbate, or
new ones to appear.
I have found that Homeopathy, Hypnotherapy, Acupuncture, Cognative Behavioural
Therapy, and sometimes
simply counselling can help
greatly with so- called psychosomatic illness. I believe
that psychosomatic illness is
as much an illness as diabetes or arteriosclerosis or any
of the accepted “disease’’
states.
The very word: dis-ease expresses this.
If you feel your doctor has
helped as much as he/she
can, ask for a second opinion.

Set during the Gulf War, the episodic tale follows Anthony Swofford (a.k.a. “Swoff”), a third-generation enlistee, from
his sobering stint in boot camp to active duty, where he’s sporting a sniper’s rifle and a hundred-pound ruck sack on his
back, while moving through Middle East deserts with no cover from the intolerable heat. As well, he advances with no
protection from the Iraqi soldiers--and there’s always a potential enemy sighting, just over the next horizon. Swoff and
his fellow Marines sustain themselves on humour and camaraderie as they tread the blazing desert fields in a country
they don’t understand, against an enemy they can’t see, for a cause they don’t fully fathom.

In a wondrously clanky universe populated solely by
mechanical beings live memorable robots Rodney
Copperbottom, a young genius inventor who dreams
of helping robots everywhere; Cappy, a beautiful,
dynamic and savvy bot with whom Rodney is instantly
smitten; the nefarious corporate tyrant Ratchet who
locks horns with Rodney; Bigweld, a master inventor
who has lost his way; and a group of misfit ‘bots
known as the Rusties, led by Fender and Piper
Pinwheeler. Fender’s head, arms, and legs routinely fall off at the most inopportune moments. As
Rodney fulfills Fender’s ongoing need for repairs,
the two become fast friends.

Assigned to protect the endangered children of an
assassinated scientist working on a secret invention,
Shane Wolfe is suddenly faced with juggling two
incompatible jobs: fighting evil while keeping house.
As he adds to his usual arsenal of wetsuits and
weapons the new tools of juice boxes and
a minivan, Shane not only must defeat
a world-threatening enemy but also
wrangle teen rebel Zoe, uplift sullen
14-year-old Seth and outwit 8-yearold Ninja-wannabe Lulu, simultaneously keeping toddler Peter and
baby Tyler out of mischief, not to
mention harm’s way.

Edward Norton and Brad Pitt
star in David Fincher’s
Oscar-nominated drama, the
former as a bored executive,
the latter as a stranger he
meets on a plane who
introduces him to a world of
ennui-alleviating physical
pain: Fight Club, a semisecret organisation where
men vent their frustrations
in bare knuckle fighting in
dingy basements. But as
Norton becomes more
involved, he learns more
about the shadowy
organisation that plans to take
on more than each other...

Popular Chicago TV weatherman David Spritz has a
shot at the big time when “Hello America,” a national
morning show, calls him for an audition. At the top of
the world professionally, David is approaching disaster
on a personal level as rapidly as the weather changes.
His painful divorce, his dad’s illness, and trouble with
his kids have David poised on the knife’s edge between
stability and calamity. Trying to gain control of his
situation, David slowly comes to realize that life, much
like the weather, is completely unpredictable.

Cabin Fever
Channel 4 23.00 - 00.45
As a last hurrah after college, friends Jeff, Karen, Paul, Marcy and Bert embark on a vacation deep into the mountains. They drive to a remote cabin to
enjoy their last days of decadence before entering the working world. Then
somebody gets sick. Karen’s skin starts to bubble and burn as something
grows inside her, tunneling beneath her flesh. The group is so repulsed,
shocked and sickened watching their friend deteriorate before their eyes;
they lock her in a shed to avoid infection. As they debate about how to save
her, they look at one another and realize that any one of them could also
have it. What soon began as a struggle against the disease turns into a battle
against friends, as the fear of contagion drives them to turn on each other.

In New York’s East Village, a group of bohemians struggle to
express themselves through their art and strive for success and
acceptance while enduring the obstacles of poverty, illness and
the AIDS epidemic. Roger is an aspiring songwriter who has
emotionally shut down after his girlfriend’s suicide. Despite
his attraction, he is reluctant to start a new romance with
his downstairs neighbour Mimi Marquez, an exotic dancer
struggling with “baggage of her own.” Roger’s roommate
Mark is a filmmaker trying to balance art and
commerce. His girlfriend Maureen, a selfindulgent performance artist, recently left
him for a lawyer named Joanne. Also part
of this close-knit circle is Tom Collins, a
professor of philosophy who, after being mugged,
is rescued by his soul mate, a high-spirited street
drummer, Angel Shunard. Benny, who alienated his
friends after he married their landlord’s daughter, has
reneged on his promise to provide rent-free artist space to his
bohemian friends. Once a close friend, he is now viewed as
the enemy, threatening them with eviction.

Porky’s
five 00.00 - 01.50
A raunchy, irreverent comedy classic released in the early 80s to set the tone
for all other teen flicks of that era, PORKY’S takes a look at the sex lives of
a group of teenage boys in 1950s Florida in all their obsessive, unfulfilled
glory. Pee Wee, the main character in this group of six Angel Beach high
schoolers, is so named for the size of his appendage; nonetheless, he wants
nothing more than to lose his virginity. All six spend most of their time devising easy ways to score and spying on coeds in the shower, taking breaks
only to insult their large dictator-like teacher, Ms. Ballbricker, and play pranks
on each other.

On and beneath the meanest streets of Glasgow, fiery gangster Bart is merciless with debtors, would-be rivals, and anyone else to whom he takes
even a passing dislike. How does Bart maintain his chokehold? Through his
unwitting enforcer Danny, who he has “raised” since boyhood.
Danny has been kept as a near-prisoner by his “Uncle” Bart;
trained to attack and, if necessary, kill. Danny knows little of
life, except the brutal existence that Bart has so crudely
and cruelly fashioned for him. But when Danny has a
chance encounter with soft-spoken blind piano tuner
Sam, he senses true kindness and compassion for
the first time and experiences the transforming
power of music. When a sudden gangland coup
separates Danny from Bart and his mob, Danny
is at last away from the underworld. He takes refuge with Sam and his spunky teenaged stepdaughter Victoria. Sam and Victoria open their home and
hearts to Danny, who begins to envision a new future
for himself. However, the mob will not give up its prize
pupil so easily, and Danny must soon fight again,
and fight back, to protect his new family.

Once close friends, Stealth bomber pilots Vic Deakins
Riley Hale become engaged in an explosive battle
against time, and each other. In the air and on the
ground, in planes, on the tops of trains, and clinging to careening Humvees, theirs is a no-holdsbarred race to recover a stolen nuclear weapon
that threatens a major American city. National
Park Ranger Terry Carmichael must guide the
grounded and stranded Hale across the demanding desert landscape--and ends up fighting
beside him against an unimaginable menace.

On the eve of her twenty-seventh birthday, Catherine,
a young woman who has spent years caring for her
brilliant but unstable father, a mathematical genius
named Robert, must deal not only with the arrival of
her estranged sister, Claire, but also with the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father’s
who hopes to find valuable work in the
103 notebooks of Robert’s. As Catherine
confronts Hal’s affections and Claire’s
overbearing plans for her life, she
struggles to solve the most perplexing problem of all: How much of
her father’s madness--or genius-will she inherit?

Teenager Holly Hamilton is tired of moving every time her single mom Jean has another
personal meltdown involving yet another second-rate guy. To distract her mother from
her latest bad choice, Holly conceives the perfect plan for the perfect man--an
imaginary secret admirer who will romance Jean and boost
her
shaky self-esteem. When the virtual relationship takes
off, Holly finds herself having to produce the suitor,
borrowing her friend’s charming and handsome Uncle Ben as the face behind the
e-mails, notes and gifts. Holly must
resort to increasingly desperate
measures to keep the ruse alive and
protect her mom’s newfound happiness--almost missing the real
perfect man when he does
come along.

It all begins inside Apartment 9F. This is where a single mother, Dahlia Williams, is trying to make a brand-new start in life. Attempting to escape from
a bitter custody battle with her estranged husband, Dahlia moves with her
daughter Ceci to a dilapidated, sprawling housing block on Roosevelt Island
at the very edges of New York City. Their new home provides little refuge.
The rundown tower’s creepy noises, rickety elevator and sinister dark water
stains are eerie enough. But Dahlia begins to suspect there is a far greater
threat. Just who or what is it that is playing mind games with Dahlia--and
can she trust her own senses when her imagination is also running wild? As
Ceci’s ghostly encounters and an array of strange occurrences continue to
build, Dahlia suddenly must question who she can trust and in what she can
believe. But she will stop at nothing to figure out the riddle and protect her
daughter--even as the dark water closes in around them.

A new nanny enters the household of the recently widowed Mr.
Brown and attempts to tame his seven exceedingly ill-behaved children. The children, led by the oldest boy Simon, have managed
to drive away 17 previous nannies and are certain that they will
have no trouble with this one. But as Nanny McPhee takes control, they begin to notice that their vile behaviour now leads swiftly and magically to rather startling consequences. Her influence
also extends to the family’s deeper problems, including Mr.
Brown’s sudden and seemingly inexplicable attempts to find a
new wife. As the children’s behaviour begins to change, Nanny
McPhee’s arresting face and frame appear to change as well,
creating even more questions about this mysterious stranger
whom the children and their father have come to love.

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

The world is merely a memory. In its place is the never-ending nightmare existence
of us the living versus them the “walkers.” What’s left of mankind is cordoned off
behind the
walls of a fortified city while the walking dead roam
the vast
wasteland beyond. To bring food and other essential
supplies to
the occupants of the city, a hardened group of mercenaries--headed by Riley run retrieval missions outside the
city,
protected by their massive armored vehicle,
Dead Reckoning. Riley and Cholo, are in it
for the money, which they hope to use for
their own escapes--Riley to the North, with
promises of “a world without fences”
and freedom, and Cholo to the luxury
of Fiddler’s Green, far away from the
violent life he has known.

Next season’s Desperate Housewives will gain new cast members Nathan Fillion and Dana Delany, who will play a woman and
her much younger husband who move to Wisteria Lane with the
woman’s daughter. Fillion became a cult star in the sci-fi drama
Firefly, and its spin off feature film Serenity, as well as the
recent series Drive, about a cross-America car
race. He will also appear on the big screen
in the feature film Waitress. Dana Delany
was originally first choice for the role of
Bree in Desperate Housewives, ironically now joining the series.
Brad Pitt has also
signed on to join
Clooney in the
next Coen brothers’ black comedy
Burn After Reading.
The project, which
also stars Frances
McDormand, centres
on a CIA agent who
loses the disc of the
book he is writing. It
is unclear what role
Pitt would play but
the actor will begin
shooting the film in
late August.
Since Pitt has had to delay filming Pompeii at the
City of Luz film studios in Alicante, Johnny Depp
has instead been able to start production on
his next film Shantaram there this coming October. The film, that is also being produced by
the actor, will be directed by Indian director Mira Noir who received international acclaim for The Bonfire of
The Vanities. Shantaram is based on
a novel by Gregory David Roberts
– the true story of an Australian
drug addict, who escapes from
a maximum security prison in his
native land to become a doctor in one of the poorest areas
of India. Initially, shooting was
planned for the Warner Studios in Hollywood, but finally
the production is coming to
Alicante, with what insiders believe will be an extremely large
budget, and considerably more
than the 82 million euros spent in
the complex to shoot the Asterix
movie. One of the major production difficulties that the City of Light
is expected to meet when shooting
the Depp vehicle is the recreation of
tropical rainstorms.
Kylie Minogue on board
the Titanic

The season finale of Doctor Who’s highly acclaimed third season for the BBC, concluded
with the TARDIS colliding into the infamous
ship Titanic. It has been revealed that he Doctor will find on board worldwide singing sensation Kylie Minogue! Minogue is no stranger
to drama, having famously earned her
break by appearing as Sharleen in the
Australian soap Neighbours, and more
recently, fighting a very public battle
against breast cancer.
A musical star who is no stranger to controversy, Prince will release his new album,
Planet Earth via the Daily Mail newspaper.
The Mail on Sunday will include copies in
its July 15 issue, sparking industry furore.
The artist formerly known as Symbol has
angered the UK arm of Sony BMG, parent
firm of Columbia Records with which
Prince has a deal for the new album, and
who have now withdrawn from their deal
to distribute the album in shops. Calling
the free album promotion the “most
sensational CD giveaway of all time,” The
Mail on Sunday touted the move on three
pages of its edition yesterday and set up
a microsite to encourage people to order
their copies in advance. Planet Earth is
set to hit international retail stores on July
16 and US shops a week later on July 24.
The album will also be given away to
attendees of Prince’s series of 21 concerts
at the O2 Arena in London beginning
August 1.

The fear you are most inclined to experience relates to the sense of awe
and quite possibly, psychological instability that
comes with pure burning
faith. Faith is a vital elemental force; fight what
you know, trust and believe.
Seeking knowledge is best
approached in a state of
innocence. Complicating
factors to watch out for
are things like the fear
that you will seek the
truth but not attain it or
that you are too small to
ever be taken seriously;
but the mere act of seeking changes us deeply.

THE HISTORY BOYS
The History Boys follows an unruly
bunch of sharp, talented but roughedged British schoolboys whose worlds
are changed forever when two teachers with opposing viewpoints on education engage in a battle to get them
into Oxford and Cambridge.
It all begins at a small public boys’
school in industrial Northern England
where an unprecedented eight students are about to pursue the ultimate
British dream: to gain acceptance into
one of England’s two legendary universities.
Distracted by sex, sports and the chaos of growing up in the 1980s, the boys
are helped, and sometimes hindered,
in their quest by two teachers who are
diametrically different in their methods.
New to the school is the slick Irwin, a recent graduate of Oxford who has been
hired by the ambitious Headmaster to
whip the boys into exam-ready shape
with his aggressive focus on strategy
and “spin.” Then there is the maverick
literature teacher Hector, who thinks
himself a fool yet breaks all the rules in
trying to help the boys discover their
own wisdom.
As both teachers vie for the boys’ loyalty, minds, and even hearts, they impart vital lessons and reveal their own
human flaws.

Book review
Guerra - by Jason Webster
Transworld Publisher. €12.90� paperback, at all good book stores. Reviewed by Penny Lapenna.
£12.90, ISBN 9780552772815.
Guerra is subtitled “living in the shadow of the Spanish Civil war” and this is certainly an apt summary of a detailed and well written book. This book
should be recommended reading, dealing as it
does with a subject of such recent history that it
continues to affect the generations of Spaniards
alive today. Webster manages to convey the raw
Spanish experience – its heat, dust, light and shade
– with rare and startling actuality and definitively
joins the long line of Anglophone writers who have
interpreted Spain to the world. It is deceptively
simple at times, and I was fascinated to follow the
author’s trip behind the Spanish touristic glamour
image into the remnants of the Civil War that are
to be seen everywhere. In fact, scratch the surface
of this pleasant land and you will find a dark and
disturbing recent history. So dark in fact that many
Spanish simply choose to ignore it, erase it, brush
over it or even re-write it.
Villages on the Costa Blanca may seem innocent
of Franco’s history to the casual observer. But the
signs are everywhere – in the grubby chicken runs
fallen into disrepair, ordered so that each ‘pueblo’
would be self-sufficient, to the bizarre voting practices of tiny populations, still haunted by the deaths
of socialist grandparents that Franco ordered to
be taken out to the hillsides and shot. The Spanish
civil war was a violent clash of ideologies that set
one countryman against another. It was the testing
ground for new post first world war military technologies and tactics (the first civilian carpet bombing
in the world was carried out by Germans in support
of Franco on Guernica). The end of the Spanish war
signalled the start of the second world war and has
a historical significance that is, quite honestly, not
widely appreciated or understood. This book will
give you a good introductory insight into that war.
Jason Webster journeys across Spain, this time to explode the myths around the lasting effects of the
Spanish Civil War. Could the divisions that led to the
conflict still be simmering under the surface, and is it
possible they could erupt again?
In previous books such as Andalus, Webster has
unlocked the secret of Moorish Spain. Guerra succeeds in a similar capacity to unravel the Spanish
mentality to its tortured history.

Chocolate is good for
your health – it’s official
Great news for anyone
with a sweet tooth or a
serious case of PMS (Permanent Menstrual Stress,
that is) – a bit of what you
fancy is good for you.
According to the Journal
of the American Medical
Association, about 30 calories’ worth of chocolate
a day is an enormous help
for people with high blood
pressure.
Maybe 30 calories’ worth
is relatively little – about
10 grams of milk chocolate – but what did you expect us to say? A bar a day
and you’ll be slipping into
a continental size 32 after
a month?
Actually, if you stick to
dark chocolate – better
still, the 70 per cent cocoa variety, 30 calories’
worth gives you more. In
fact, you can have up to
25g a day and it will make
absolutely no difference
whatsoever to either your
sugar levels or waistline,
the Journal reassures.
Pulse notes
First aid advice from PULSE FIRST AID TRAINING
To reach this conclusion,
scientists took 44 adult
volunteers – all champing
at the bit, naturally – between the ages of 56 and
73 and studied them over
four-and-a-half
months.
All volunteers suffered
high blood pressure to
some degree, although still within the levels considered ‘normal’ by medics.
Divided into two groups,
the first was given 25g
(one ounce) of dark chocolate a day and the second,
the same quantity of white chocolate. Besides this,
they were permitted to
carry on with their usual
diet during the trial period but not to consume
any other cocoa-based
products.
Afterwards, neither had
put on any weight and
their sugar levels had not
risen, showing that a small amount of chocolate a
day has no detriment to
our health or waistlines
whatsoever.
Those eating white chocolate did not register any
difference
whatsoever
in their arterial tension,
although the dark chocolate-eaters noticed an
average fall of 2.9 over 1.9
in their blood pressure
reading.
This may seem little to
write home about, but
medical experts claim
that a fall of just three
per cent in the systolic
reading (the top one) can
reduce the risk of a stroke
by eight per cent, a heart
attack by five per cent and
any other cause of death
by four per cent.
The results are said to be
because of the nitrogen
oxide in cocoa, which
helps vasodilatation, combating the hardening and
narrowing of arteries.
So, give us this day our
daily chocolate… and stop
feeling guilty every time
you fancy a fix.
CUT OUT THE
Q
My pool maintenance man tells me that he regularly uses Copper Sulphate to
control algae growth in our pool to stop the water going cloudy or even green.
Other people tell me that this substance is poisonous and should not be used? What
should I be aware of in relation to this matter?
Algaecides are chemicals
that kill algae as opposed to
sanitizers like chlorine that
prevent algae and bacteria
from getting a foothold in
the first place. Nearly all
swimming pool algaecides
are copper based ... you will
notice they are blue in colour in the liquid form. Many
pool maintenance firms in
this country use copper sulphate powder as algaecide
as it is cheap and easy to obtain e.g. you can even buy
it in Mercadona. However,
Copper sulfate is very toxic.
It is a very strong irritant
to skin and mucous membranes. If ingested, it can
affect blood cells, the liver
and other internal organs.
At the pH (acid – alkali level) of a typical swimming
pool and in the presence of
chlorine, copper sulphate
can cause staining and discoloration of pool surfaces
and hair.
The key point about the
use of more expensive algaecides in liquid form is
that bathing can occur immediately following their
use. With copper sulphate
I would suggest that your
pool cleaner use it carefully
and preferably not throughout the swimming season.
Recognition of poisoning
Suspicions of overuse of
this compound should be
raised by signs of hair discoloration or skin irritation
following bathing. However, it is highly unlikely
that anyone would ingest
sufficient Copper Sulphate
from pool water to cause
actual poisoning. One good
thing about swallowing any
quantity of Copper Sulphate is that it is a potent emetic and the casualty will
very likely vomit.
First Aid treatment for
ingested poisons in general
1 If you suspect any form
of poisoning the first thing
that you should do is ring
for an ambulance as soon
as you can.
2 Give as much information
as possible about the swallowed poison – this helps
the medical staff to give the
appropriate treatment.
3 Monitor the vital signs
of pulse and breathing
along with general responsiveness – you will need to
report these things to the
paramedic team.
4 If the casualty loses consciousness they will need to
be put in the recovery position and you will need to be
prepared to resuscitate if
they stop breathing (do you
know what to do? ... if not,
then do think about attending a First Aid course).
Moving back to the issue
of swimming pool maintenance I firmly believe that
every pool owner should
be asking questions of the
person who cleans their
pool. Have you seen them
test the water recently and
how much chlorine are
they adding ... overuse of
chlorine by pool cleaners
is very common as the pool
water will look beautifully
clean but beware that too
much will lead to eye, nose,
ear and skin irritations.
Ask questions about pool
maintenance!

Lyn. “One of my pupils,
Carol Bennett, suggested
Heartfelt

HELP Murcia Mar Menor
this year and we all thought
it was a great idea.” Linda
and Fred, who own the International, also agreed, so
Tony Horn, HELP’s President, was invited down to
receive the donation of 885
euros. “I am absolutely delighted,” commented Tony,
“these ladies obviously have
a lot of fun raising money
for worthy causes and I am
pleased that they have chosen HELP this year.”

Paquita’s Country Club, El
Cid, Benidoleig is a friendly
social club which has been
in existence since the end
of 1991. Our current membership consists of mostly
retired expats the majority
of whom live permanently
in Spain. We have a variety
of regular weekly activities
– dinner-dances, social evenings, occasional talks, barbecues in the summer and
coach trips to local places
of interest during the year.
Membership is 16 euros a
person per annum and, although priority is given to
members for our functions,
non-members or friends of
members are most welcome
should there be available
space.
For the past few years there
has been an annual coach
trip of a few days away to
the beautiful cities of Barcelona, Granada, and Madrid
and this year there will be
a five-night trip to Sevilla in
September for which there
are a few places still available. Please see above in the
What’s going on section for
more details.
In recent weeks the club organised a charity summer
fayre at which the proceeds
of 700 euros were donated
to Xaló and Parcent HELP
– their letter of thanks is on
the club notice board. An
interesting coach trip took
place and visited a winery
in Utiel for the day. We also
held a car treasure hunt which was enjoyed by 65 people.
18 cars and one scooter team
took part in the 51-km cruise
looking for clues. The start
was at the El Cid Restaurant
in Benidoleig and ended at
El Restaurante Pizzería in
Orba. Our first barbecue of
the summer was enjoyed
by 88 people with entertainment during the evening by
Paulette, and 71 people enjoyed a flutter at our race night
watching six horse races and
two dog races on a big screen
with supper midway during
the evening.
The ACEC, Cultural and
Ecological Association of
Calpe, and citizens of Calpe
send heartfelt thanks to
Cristina Narbona. After 16
years of fighting, the Salinas
of Calpe will have State
protection. We hope this will
ensure the preservation of
its flora and fauna and will
now put pressure on the
new council to control the
height of buildings still to
be built beyond the area of
protection.
We also wish to mention
the founder and honorary
president of ACEC, the
late Ana Sala Jorro. Ana
worked tirelessly to find an
authority that would protect
the
Salinas,
including
petitioning the European
Parliament when her pleas
to Spanish authorities fell
on deaf ears. She wrote to
Cristina Narbona, knowing
instinctively she would come
to the aid of the Salinas.
There is no doubt that Ana
was the main instigator of
bringing the plight of the
Salinas to the attention of
the government. The ACEC
are honoured to have had
Ana Sala as their president
and she is greatly missed.
Thanks also go to Herrick
Campos, PSOE MP, who set
up communication between
ACEC and the Minister.
ACEC will be petitioning
the council to ask for part of
Las Salinas to be named in
honour of Ana Sala Jorro.
Many thanks to all the
members of the ACEC and
public who have supported
our campaign.

This week Dénia will be awash with carnival floats on
different themes, fancy dress parades, noise, fireworks and
spectacle. There will also be the infamous Bous a la Mar

Cool Blooz was recently put together by John Anthony
(lead guitar and vocals) and Dave Horn (drummer
and vocals), after talking about it for many years. Both
musicians had known Dave Wood (bass and vocals) for
some time and had worked with him in the past so when
he agreed to join them the band was instantly formed.
All are experienced musicians having played on the
Costa Blanca in various bands for many years. The repertoire for Cool Blooz veers towards jazz and rock. With
songs from John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock,
and a lot of light rock, including The Eagles, The Beatles,
The Rolling Stones and Elvis. They currently perform on
Fridays at the Gran Sol Hotel, Calpe.

Sentence supports
leisure boat owners
José Andúgar and
G. Lennon
A court ruling that backs
the owners of leisure boats
and which concerns the
price they have to pay for
mooring, may have consequences for a number of
people similarly affected.
A judge from Totana municipal court has ruled in
favour of several people
affected by the allocation
of moorings at the new leisure port in Mazarrón. The
judge completely supports
the argument put forward
by the boat owners that they
should only have to pay the
original fees contracted and
not the 315% higher fees
demanded by the new fran-
Education
New traffic
school
Fuente Álamo’s new Road
Safety Park has opened in
the Plaza de la Autonomía.
At the new facility, which
has a total surface area
of 4,591 square metres, of
which 250 square metres
have been built on, children
will be taught the principles of road safety including, for example, how to
ride a bicycle safely in urban areas. Among the services on offer, there is a large
playground, a grandstand,
and a road circuit as well as
pedestrianised and green
leisure areas. The total cost
of the project was €504,200
euros.
Planning
New Police
station
Águilas’s new Local Police station will open for
business next September.
Building work is in the
final stages and a €60,000
euro furniture and fittings
acquisition application has
just been approved. The
new police station, which
is on a plot of land next to
the fire station, will serve to
“improve the work of the officers as it will be equipped
with the very latest technology.” The building has two
storeys: the ground floor
will house a conference
hall, a library, the public
safety and customer service
teams. Upstairs, there will
be changing rooms, a classroom, and office space.
chise owners, Bolnuevo de
Turismo SA (Boltursa), and
which were approved by the
regional government.
During the proceedings
it emerged that the boat
owners acquired eight metre berths from the previous franchise holder, the
Sociedad Club Naútico de
Puerto de Mazarrón, with
whom there were written
contracts, and to whom the
buyers each paid €10,650
euros in March 2004. Subsequently the regional government awarded the port
franchise to Boltursa and
approved the 315% increase
in the purchase of moorings
on the grounds that the regional Public Works, Housing and Transport ministry
took into account the financial viability of the facility
as the initial investment required had risen substantially owing to the building of an underground car
park, a commercial centre
and other improvements.
Boltursa sent out a letter
in September 2006 advising
that the price of the moorings had risen to €24,808 euros, justifying the increase
on the regional government’s advice. The judge’s
ruling demands that Boltursa respect the terms of
the original purchase contracts, and allow the boat
owners to use their berths.
The sentence creates a
precedent for forty other
boat owners similarly affected, many of whom belong
to the Victims of Mooring
Berths in Mazarrón Marina
association. Twenty-six of

them had contracts with
the Sociedad Club Naútico

successful boat owners are
not members of the association, but maintain close
links with it.
Mazarrón police force bolstered to aim
to improve summer security
The mayor of Mazarrón,
Francisco Blaya, sat down
recently with the councillor for Security, Segundo
Muñoz, and the chiefs of
the Local Police and Guardia Civil, Gerardo Marín
and Alfonso Salinas, respectively, to define the town’s
security plan.
Also present was Accident
Secretary, Sandra María
Antón, who normally sits
in on these periodical meetings. Apart from agreeing
sanctions to be imposed
on recent wrong-doers, a
twelve-month police coordination programme was
approved with special focus
on the forthcoming summer season.
This year, Mazarrón will
ensure that it has 70 Guar-

dia Civil, 44 Local Police
and 10 Guardia Civil Traffic
officers.
These measures, that will be
coordinated from the Town
Hall, aim to guarantee the
safety of all the townspeople and offer peace of mind
to the thousands of tourists
who choose to spend their
summer vacations in the
coastal resort.
Totana Town Hall aims to buy General
Aznar’s House for restoration
Totana mayor, José Martínez Andreo, has announced
that the town council is
intending to purchase the
House of General Aznar
with the aim of fulfilling
its manifesto pledge to offer
the town’s people an integrated and easily accessible
administration: “we aim
to offer an agile, modern,
flexible, and transparent
administration that gives
the people of Totana the
level of customer service
they deserve,” explained
the mayor.
Negotiations are already
underway both with the
regional government – for
a subsidy to purchase and
renovate the building – as
well as with the building’s
owners. With respect to
the negotiations with the
regional government, the
council’s objective is for
the building not to cost the
Town Hall anything.
The House of General Aznar, which stands on the
calle Vidal Abarca next to
the El Cojo bar and opposite the Casino, is relatively
close to the council building, and it is planned for it
to house all council departments that deal directly
with the public.
It is an old, catalogued build-
ing with a total surface area
of around 400 square metres, although it is planned
to add an extra floor. It will
house the departments currently located in the upper
storeys of the BBVA building such as Housing, Immigration, Consumer Affairs,
Commerce, Quality and
Craftwork. According to Mr
Andreo, should the project
proceed, the council would
save all its current property
rental costs.
The council has applied
for a regional government
grant that would cover all
the costs of purchasing and
renovating the building,
and, given the importance
of the project, the mayor
stated that he was hoping
for the full collaboration of,
and a quick response from,
the regional government.

with his American counterpart, George W Bush, on
relations between the two
countries, which have deteriorated over the past year.
Sources from the Bush administration stated that
the aim of the visit was to
persuade Russia to cooperate in encouraging Iran to
suspend its nuclear programme. Moscow, on the
other hand, was seeking to
urge Washington’s not to
go ahead with its missile
interceptor plan, which it
aims to set up in Eastern
Europe.
The talks had only limited
success, sources revealed,
and did not bring the expected results.

CLEAN CUT: No more
favours for anybody
Aspiring Democratic President of the United States,
Hillary Clinton, has called
for the White House to be
‘cleaned’. She said in a recent electoral meeting: “Get
your dustpans and brushes.
We are going to have to
clean the White House because the present government has adopted a culture
of favouritism, corruption
and incompetence.”
Meanwhile, polls suggest
that there has been a radical shift in the Hispanic
vote, which traditionally
favoured Republicans. A total of 63 percent of the Hispanic members of society
would now vote for Hillary
Clinton as American president, while Republican
runner Rudolph Giuliani
would receive only 46% of
the vote.

Journalist freed after
4 months in captivity
Negotiations
with Hamas
achieve the
release
Alex Elgar
Alan Johnston, the BBC
journalist captured four
months ago by the radical
Army of Islam in the Gaza
strip, was freed in the early
hours of Wednesday morning.
Looking pale but in good
health, Johnston, 45, exited
a Gaza City building escorted by dozens of Hamas
armed guards.
According to his captors,
Johnston’s kidnap had been
set up to target Britain in
the name of a global holy
war.
Throughout his ordeal,
hundreds of journalists
around the world campaigned for his release and
200,000 people signed an online petition calling for him
to be set free.
As well as pressure from
the BBC and the British
Government, Johnston’s release was largely the result
of negotiations between
Islamic movement Hamas,
who recently took control
of the Gaza strip, and the
Army of Islam. Hamas
were keen to raise their
profile, whilst realising the
dire consequences for their
movement if Johnston had
been killed.
Johnston’s parents, from
Argyll in Scotland, described their overwhelming
joy at the news, stating that
the past 114 days had been
“a living nightmare.”
Johnston, who was kept
in a small cell during his
ordeal, sometimes hand-
FREED BBC JOURNALIST ALAN JOHNSTON: Overjoyed at his release
cuffed and recently appearing in a video wearing an
explosives belt, said in a
news conference given immediately after his release:
“I am hugely grateful to
all the people – an amazing number of people that
worked on the Palestinian
side, the British government, the BBC from top to
bottom, and a huge amount
of support from BBC listeners and viewers.
“I had a radio almost
throughout, and was able to
follow all the extraordinary
level of support and interest in my case, and it was a
huge psychological boost. I
am immensely grateful. It’s
just the most fantastic thing
to be free.
“It was an appalling experience as you can imagine – 16 weeks kidnapped,
sometimes quite terrifying,
and frightening always because I didn’t know how it
was going to end.
“Last night, when they
took me downstairs and
said you’re going to Britain, they had actually said
that once before when they
moved me to another prison, so I was really fighting
the desire to believe that it
was all about to end.
“When they let me out
of the car, there were gunmen around and so on and
I thought, ‘No, no, these are
more kidnappers’, but then
I saw Fayed Abu Shamala
who I’d worked with for
three years and I really only
then believed it was over.
“The group did threaten
my life a number of times
in various ways. There was
one 24-hour period when
they seemed to get very
angry with the negotiation
process, and they chained
me up by my hands and ankles. But that only lasted 24
hours.
“I was in Gaza for three
years, and I know very well
what Palestinian culture
is, and the extraordinary
warmth and hospitality
– especially of Gaza. I knew
that the handful of people
that kidnapped me were a
complete aberration. My
memories of Gaza will be
very much of the best kind,
despite what happened to
me. Across the Palestinian
spectrum politically there
was condemnation of the
kidnapping and calls for my
release and so on.
“The kidnappers seemed
very comfortable and very
secure in their operation –
until a couple of weeks ago
when it became clear that
Hamas would be in charge
of the security situation on
their own here – and after
that the kidnappers were
much more nervous and
began to realise – and I began to feel that perhaps, if
I was lucky – the end was
coming.”

Britain put on severe
security alert
Three bombs successfully
defused. Seven NHS doctors
suspected to be involved
Alex Elgar
The UK is on high alert after three car bombs set up
by Islamic terrorists last
weekend failed to detonate
or cause injury.
Two cars carrying petrol,
gas cylinders and nails were
discovered in central London last Friday before being
detonated by police, whilst
another car bomb was driven into Glasgow airport’s
terminal building on Saturday evening. Miraculously,
no-one was injured in the
attack.
Security forces have said
that residents should be
ready for an attack “at any
moment” and should be on
the look out for anything
suspicious.
Interior minister Jacqui
Smith denied claims that
only luck averted a massacre, insisting that the
government was doing everything possible to protect
the public, and that British
bomb disposal experts, secret services as well as public vigilence had stopped a
major disaster.
Security measures have
been stepped up in British
airports, train stations and
in the tube since the failed
bombings, and according to
UK transport police, drivers
who try to park at train stations, as well as passengers,
will be subject to random
security checks. Other Israeli-style check-points will
be set up over the coming
weeks on the main access
routes into the capital.
Peter Clarke, head of
Scotland Yard’s special
anti-terrorist squad, commented: “I’m not exaggerating when I say that every
hour we are learning more
information. I feel confident
that in the next few days
or weeks we will be able to
completely understand the
methods used by the terrorists, the manner in which
they planned the attacks,
and the group to which they
belonged.”

Security guards will now
be working with crew on all

US airports are currently at

the highest level of danger.
Meanwhile, a suspect package found at JFK airport in

NHS, one was a lab technician. An immediate review
of NHS recruitment will
now be carried out following the attacks, the prime
minister said.
Britain’s main umbrella
group for Muslim organisa-
tions strongly condemned
the three failed car bomb
attacks, calling for crosscultural efforts to tackle
extremism. Dr Muhammad
Abdul Bari, secretary-general of the moderate Muslim Council of Britain, said:
“Those who seek to deliberately kill or maim innocent
people are the enemies of
us all. Those who engage in
such murderous actions and
those that provide support
for them are the enemies
of us all, Muslims and nonMuslims, and they stand
against our shared values
in the United Kingdom.
“It cannot be stressed
enough that terrorists actively seek to divide us and
to undermine our collective
strength. We need to have
confidence and mutual trust
in each other. The challenges facing us as a nation
require us to work together
for the joint benefit of all.
“As we have stated in the
past, terrorism is not a regional nor a national matter. Neither does it have a
profession or class,” and he
called on all Britons to help
the police and the security
services.

victims
A video released in Colombia showing seven soldiers
and policemen kidnapped
several years ago by guerrilla group FARC, has given
hope to families and groups
campaigning for their release. The video, which was
obtained by Colombian TV
station Caracol, shows kidnapped soldier Pablo Emilio
Moncayo, who was captured
more than nine years ago
in the south of the country,
urging the president of Colombia, Álvaro Uribe, not to
rescue the group by force,
because it would mean “a
death sentence”. He goes on
to say that he has been in the
same camp as ex-presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt, who was kidnapped
in February 2002. Moncayo
pleads with Uribe to commence “a dialogue with the
FARC”.

At least 25 people have died
and a further 33 seriously

The explosion occurred in
the early hours of Thursday morning in Tianshifu
in the Liaoning province
when dozens of young people were enjoying a night
out in the well-known bar
to celebrate the end-of-year
examinations. Emergency
teams have already recovered 25 bodies from the
wreckage, although they
have not discounted the
possibility of finding more
bodies buried under the
rubble.
Xinhua said the explosion
caused the two-storey building to collapse into a heap
that also buried several
cars.
It said the club’s owner was
among the dead.
Authorities have now set up

I’ve been counting down the days for nearly two years now,
and there are only 15 to go.
Until what? The America’s Cup? No, that’s been and gone
now, and let’s cross our fingers that Valencia is elected as
venue for the next one. You see, the winning country would
normally host the next tournament, but when Switzerland
won the cup, the organisers saw a problem.
“What problem was that, then?” asked a friend of mine, who
isn’t even blonde.
Can any of you guess what it is? Oh, never mind. The crucial
point is that I haven’t been sad enough to count the days
to the 2007 regattas, which would be on a par with stampcollecting, train-spotting or bursting into tears when Spain
got kicked out of the World Cup last summer.
In just 15 days’ time, the final instalment of Harry Potter’s
adventures at Hogwarts Academy hits the shelves. When I
read that the castellano translation will not be in the shops
until 2008, I praised the good Lord that I’m a native Englishspeaker – not only will I never have to grapple with phrasal
verbs or ponder over the pronunciation difference between
‘cough’, ‘bough’, ‘tough’ and ‘through’, but I’ll be one of the
first to find out whether the teenage wizard manages to wipe
out He Who Should Not Be Named for good; whether he even
survives, given that the author hints he might not; whether
he returns to Hogwarts for his final year or whether in part
six he had passed through platform nine-and-three-quarters
at Kings’ Cross for the last time.
Unless you have followed this highly-addictive series from
day one, none of the above will mean anything whatsoever
to you. In theory, you could ask any child anywhere in
the world and they would fill you in pretty rapidly on the
chapters you missed, although in practice there are more
adults who read the series – a version with a cover for grownups is in circulation if your street-cred won’t allow you to
be seen reading a kids’ book. Even if it is a kids’ book that
outsells the Bible.
Spanish national daily El País has put Harry to the vote: is
the rising frenzy, the camping outside bookshops and the
betting-shop takings justified? After all, it’s only a book. Did
people break out in a sweat whenever Enid Blyton penned
a new Secret Seven adventure? Do people queue outside the
newsagents’ every Friday morning to grab their still-warmfrom-the printer copy of ThinkSPAIN|today? Well, naturally.
Of course they do. It is no accident, then, that 44 per cent of
voters said the young wizard’s adventures keep the public
permanently in suspenders and that they, too, will be taking
their sleeping bags and booking a flight to the UK to sleep
outside WHSmith’s on the pavement (hope they don’t get
washed away with all that rain Britain’s having). Another 43
per cent said it was great to be so enthusiastic about a novel,
but punch-ups to be the first through the bookshop door at
the crack of dawn are a little excessive. In summary, Harry
has enough fans not to have to worry his little head about the
remaining 13 per cent who described the saga as ‘boring’.
Is Harry fever justified? Yes, I do believe it is. Love or hate
the series, the content, subject and characters are beside the
point. Harry fever means kids read – it’s that simple.
I picked up my first book at age three, devoured the original
version of Heidi at five and was grappling with Dickens and
Shakespeare at nine. I’ve never looked back. Quite apart
from the fact that a child with its nose in a book is a child
who is being quiet, kept entertained and not pestering for
sweets, today’s kids who read are tomorrow’s adults who
can spell, express themselves, use apostrophes in the correct
place (ie not in plurals, which always offends my eye) have a
thirst for life and a keenness to broaden their horizons.
To this end, anything that makes kids read should be fully
encouraged, even if it means kipping in a shop doorway in
a downpour.

Letters
To the readers of
thinkSPAIN|today
I am growing increasingly
worried about the return
of fur coats to fashion. Although fur is not currently
in the spotlight due to the
summer heat, it was worryingly popular over the winter with influential magazines such as Vogue and
ELLE backing the ‘fashion’
of wearing animal fur.
I am writing about this now
as it has recently come to
my attention that the popular department store, El
Corte Inglés, has a large fur
department. I find it shocking that in this day and age
fur can be found not only
acceptable but fashionable
as well!
It also worries me that such
large names are being seen
to support the monstrosity
when I believe that influential brands have a responsibility to apear against such
things.
Luckily, ELLE and Vogue
have been under pressure
since their fur campaigns
from animal rights activists
but El Corte Inglés, which is
right on our doorstep, continues supporting the cruel
trade without hindrance!
Admittedly, ELLE has tried
to withdraw from the contract and remove their support from the fur trade but
Vogue, one of the world’s
most famous fashion magazines, has disregarded all
scorn from animal-lovers
and will continue to promote fur as fashion.
The only way we can stop
this cruelty is to boycott
these brands until they have
no choice but to cease their
support and sale of animal
fur for good.
Signed, a concerned supporter of animal rights
Dear thinkSPAIN|today
I am a student in Jávea and
I have noticed a steady increase in young children
socialising on the Arenal
beachfront at night time. I
believe it is quite shocking
that children are allowed to
wander between the busy
bars and clubs after dark
and sometimes even enter
them. This overexposure to
alcohol and adult nightlife
cannot be good for them
and I don’t believe that they
would have been allowed to
do this back in Britain.
I understand that Spain
is seen as a safer place for
young children by many
parents but a bar scene is
never a suitable place for
twelve-year-olds. I think
it has become normal for
these children to spend time
on the beachfront at night
time and I believe that this
contributes heavily to many
of them starting drinking at
a young age.
I put this down to the lack
of youth clubs and activities available in this area.
In Britain these children
would have the option to be
involved with local youth
centres and sports clubs
whereas here, if they do
not speak Spanish, British
children tend to socialise
in the way their parents do,
namely by drinking alcohol
and hanging around bars
and clubs.
I believe this is a problem
that needs to be addressed
soon before we produce a
new generation of expatriate alcoholics on the Costa
Blanca.

The feminine threat
Men all over the world,
unite! New pariahs of
the Earth, defend the
conquests that you have
fought and won over the
course of time! The class
struggle is over, but a
new type of servitude has
evolved where men find
themselves under women’s thumbs.
Remember Eve’s apple
and Adam’s weakness as
he ate it. We’re still there
– in this same episode of
humanity. Women will tell
you that the Bible is sexist,
but don’t accuse them of
being sacrilegious – just
tell them that it has become the new oppressive
arm of humanity which
we are rebelling against.
With our proverbial guilty
conscience and, let’s admit it, our feeble, godfearing characters, we’ve
started a race to see how
many of our masculine
privileges – crafted as a
result of long and arduous struggles – are wiped
out by women or even
usurped by them – fruit of
the most abominable type
of vindictiveness. In this
way, they bear a striking
resemblance to the revolutionaries who sacked
the famous Winter Palace
of the Czars – humiliating, destroying and finally
substituting the ancient
lords. We don’t have to let
them do it….gentlemen
and gentlemen!
I’m conscious that the female threat is not exactly
the same as that of the
working class. We cannot
act against women with
our rifles and machine
guns – because women,
with their secret weapons would annihilate our
lame infantry in a jiffy.
In fact, rather than dissuading them from going into retreat, we end
up just trying to please
them. The more we shoot,
the more lost we end up
because we end up provoking even more of the
feminine threat. To this
end, we gradually give in,
letting them kick us out
of ‘men’s jobs’ – the ones
where we earn a living by
shedding blood, sweat and
tears – and end up accepting once again that this
so-called equality will end
up in a feminine dictatorship.
What has happened to us
and what is happening to
us? When I published my
last novel I found the answer in theory, although
I’m still putting it to the
test. I gave the manuscript
to an editor to read; he
criticised certain aspects
of the text that I partially
accepted through gritted
teeth and was obliged to
make a number of corrections. This done, I went
back and read it again and
still observed a few defects. Summoning up all
the courage I could muster I flew into a rage and
broke off the relationship
with the editor.
At the new publisher’s I
met a female editor, which
is something that’s getting
more and more frequent
these days. She suggested
I took the novel apart and
started it again with a
new plot.
I left her office with a new
spring in my step and determined to rewrite my
manuscript from beginning to end. And I didn’t
rewrite it once, but three
times, following the instructions of the editor to
the letter.
What had happened to
me? Had I fallen in love
with the editor and taken
advantage of the fact I had
written a novel to get to
know her better? No, not
at all. Was it her sweet-na-
tured way of interacting
with me that won me over,
her gentle way of softening the blow of her criticisms? No, it wasn’t that,
either.
That’s when I began to
think about this new theory and put it to the test.
In our biological memory,
men have only ever confronted other men – competing unconsciously for
food or sex in the times
of our ancestors. Women
were never our rivals and,
because of this, we never
got out our heavy artillery to defend ourselves
against them the way
we did with other men
– in any case, we wore
our uniforms and carried
our arms with pride and
pleasure.
That’s the hidden face
of the threat – the great
feminine danger. We’ve
got the enemy at home!
And she’s slowly poisoning us! And yet here we
are, smiling idiotically all
the time. Women transform us from tyrants into
victims. But we have the
right to defend ourselves
– men all over the world,
unite!
Now, THAT would be interesting.

Little Miss Happy?
Did you know that it’s not
possible to stay happy?
Sociologists reckon that
we are programmed to
gain pleasure from all
the things that make
humans survive and
reproduce. So, sex is fun,
and eating, and staying
dry in Spain when it’s
raining in England. But
if we felt completely satisfied from having sex
once, we’d never do it
again, so nature makes
sure that our pleasures
are transitory, to keep us
chasing them, and keep
procreating.
The amazing website
www.lloydianaspects.
com explains that “In all
the studies of happiness,
the planet’s happiest people always turn out to
be the people living in
the way closest to that of
wild ancestral humans –
modern day hunter-gatherers, living contented
lives on islands, fishing
and lounging about. The
most miserable people on
Earth appear to be the
Japanese, and it is surely
no coincidence that their
way of life is the furthest
removed from nature.”
It has been my experience too that living in a
small rural village has
been more harmonious
than my life in a busy
capital city, but bizarrely,
I loved living in London.
In my twenties London
really did offer those
exciting times – all about
sex,drugs and rock’n’roll
– but the arrival of my
children meant that pollution, unsafe streets
and overcrowded schools
took the sheen off of the
city. So, clearly, these
sociologists know a thing
or two.
Now that I’ve ironed out
my need to procreate, I
can get pleasure from
keeping said children
alive, educated and happy.
When they are having
fun, I feel satisfied. It
feels altruistic, but probably I am just ensuring
they will look after me
in my dotage because I
let them have Smarties
and ice-cream for breakfast once, and therefore
qualify as a great mum
in their eyes. But remembering that happiness is
not designed to be longlasting, rather that our
wants change with the
seasons, and a pink PS2
will only please me temporarily, meaning that I
can let go of that nagging
feeling that I SHOULD
FEEL HAPPIER. I am
actually happy as I write
this. And content that
there will always be
something just out of
reach that I crave.

snail’s slime on a wart
on my daughter’s finger,
then tied the snail with a
thread and hung it up on

The legend promises that
the wart will disapear

soothed with aloe gel and
the fever with paracetamol but I was then reminded of the local remedy for an excess of sun.
Known as traure el sol del
cap, literally ‘take the sun
from the head’, the cure is
handed down in the oral
tradition of an old wives’
tale, only revealed on the
night of San Juan. It calls
53
time the impromptu cure
was suggested in the hairdressers when a number
of women jumped up
and passed their wedding
rings under my daughter’s eye. Maybe the multiple effect helped, but what
is certain is that the stye
faded without treatment.
The roots of such old
wives’ tales are hard to
trace and they sit rather
incongruously in an age
when we are accustomed
to medical intervention
and pills for everything.
They hark back to a time
when people only had
what nature provided
them and the handed
down experiences of their
ancestors.
Whilst we are all thankful for modern medical
science it is nice to think
that occasionally we can
forego the chemical bombardment and try out gentler folk remedies – who
knows, they may sometimes work!
I had thought about dedicating this column to politicians’ salaries, because
I was somewhat shocked
to learn that the first decision taken by many town
councils, from both sides
of the political divide,
following the recent elections has been to raise
their own pay – in some
cases by up to 40 per cent.
You see, I am one of those
people who believe in politics and insist that not all
politicians are the same.
Many politicians are not
just in it to get rich. You
may not be aware that, a
few years ago there was
a media storm over an
audio-taped conversation
in which the former regional president of the
Comunitat Valenciana,
Eduardo Zaplana, who
is now PP parliamentary
spokesman, openly admitted that he was in politics to get rich. As you
can see, Zaplana’s political career has been unaffected and he has been
untouched by the scandal. What is scandalous,
however, is that, in this
country, councillors can
raise their salaries indiscriminately. Surely, such
a simple issue should be
regulated in some way?
However, I am not going
to talk about politicians’
salaries but about divorce and the murder of
women in crimes of passion by their former partners, which is something
which,
unfortunately,
seems to fill our newspapers day after day. It goes
without saying that feminists object to the term
‘crime of passion’, which
is also, without doubt,
‘domestic violence’, but
how are we supposed to
refer to a crime whereby
a victim dies at the hands
of her former partner,
who is unable to accept
that, following their separation, she no longer belongs to him? The most
interesting explanation
I have ever heard is that
of social psychologist,
Juan Antonio Pérez, who
specialises in the field of
uxoricide, which means
the murder of women by
members of their own
family. In a recent article, co-written with two
other renowned social
psychologists, Ana Arias
and Darío Páez, Pérez
postulates that uxoricide
is the consequence
of two overlapping, yet
contradictory,
mentalities. Since the 1960s there
has been a shift in Spanish cultural values as
women have gained more
and more freedom. These
values establish women’s
status as equal citizens
that completely defines
them independently from
the men in their lives
they may be related to
or romantically involved
with.
This new ideology is
gaining ground in the
face of an honour culture which, for decades,
maintained that a woman
was the symbol of family
honour and that the men
of the family were responsible for looking out for
and guaranteeing that the
women – daughters, wives,
sisters and mothers – preserved that honour intact.
Conflict between these
two mentalities is blamed
for these outbursts of
rage that end in the death
of women. I think this
theory holds water, and
evidence to support it can
be heard every day when
you talk to people about
separation or divorce.
The ‘light’ version of this
honour culture is the one
that insists that the best
possible family nucleus
is one where the biological family stays together.
This mentality immediately becomes obvious whenever people
discuss a couple’s
plans to separate.
Have you heard
of many
instances
where
separation is
considered
to be
something
natural
– serious
and trascendental,
admittedly
– yet natural? I fear not.
The most
widespread
feeling is
the one
that views
the separation of two
people
previously involved in a
romantic relationship as,
per se, something negative. While this negative
view is widely held socially, the honour culture
– which, lest we forget, is
to behave as social leaders consider respectable –
will continue costing the
lives of women and souring the lives of men. Both
attitudes are opposite extremes of the same continuum: the most highlycivilised societies accept
separation with sadness,
they define it ‘kindly’ as
a minor evil, but they
do condemn it. The most
pathological, or most prototypical, members of
the same society, still immersed in an honour culture, make no valuation
at all; they merely murder their victims. They
are two poles of the same
mentality, which means
that we need to start
changing people’s ideas
about separation and the
way society deals with it
if we want to stop those
still prepared – even now
at the start of the 21st
century – to defend their
own honour by spilling
the blood of others.

What if I ruled the world?
Let’s see what you, the
readers, would do if you
had been elected as mayor
or mayoress of your town
last month…
By Samantha Kett
Unless you have been living on Mars lately, it cannot have escaped your
notice that the local elections in Spain were held
on May 27. Us expatriates
fall into three categories
– those who voted; those
who abstained, believing
their single ballot would
make no difference to
the parking crisis, leaky
health centre roof or dogexcrement-filled streets of
their town, and those who
were voted for.
Many expats’ contribution to democracy does
not stop at handing in a
voting slip. Foreigners are
joining forces with Spanish councillors to do their
bit for their municipality
– of these, more than a
hundred electoral candidates were British.
Here at thinkSPAIN|today
we were curious to know
what our readers would
do if they had been voted
in as mayor or mayoress.
Some of you had some
very constructive ideas
that ranged from streetcleaning to Spanish tests
for foreigners, roadworks
to river diversion, and
‘green’ fiestas to grants
for house-painting.
Yet some of you had ideas
that were just plain crazy. National Donut Day?
Banning fashion faux
pas? Slippery pole competitions for councillors?
Whatever next?
Clean up, pay up and
learn to integrate
Ivan, from Sax, wants to
ban mopeds and noisy
motorbikes, fine dogowners who fail to clean
up after their pets, clamp
down on litter-bugs and
jail graffiti artists.
R.J., who has a holiday home in Oliva, has
similar sentiments regarding the state of his
adoptive town’s streets.
“I would ban all dogs – I
hate dog poo - litter-louts,
and speeding cars,” he
reveals, but on the positive side he would plant
They fill up their
trolleys with
booze and then
pack it in their
suitcases. I’d call

them for it
more flowers in the town,
resurface any potholed
roads and pass a byelaw
forcing everyone to smile,
all the time.
“I would bring in a municipal law that meant
all guests had to hire a
car and give a contribution to their hosts, if not
the town hall would call
round and fine them,”
reveals Marcelle from
Pego when asked what
she would do if she was
elected.
The council would recognise them instantly,
she says, because “at the
supermarket, they fill up
the trolley with booze
and the hosts think they
are going to replace all
they have drunk when
in fact they pack it into
their suitcase and take it
home.” She explains she
would make the town hall
publish a list of offenders
on their notice board.
“Anyone who moans that
the Spanish don’t speak
English, or that there are
too many foreigners here
– alluding to the Spanish
– would be brought before a peoples’ court and
tried…in Spanish,” she
continues.
Simplicity and clarity
Chuck Svoboda, from
Canada, reveals his wife
Lisa, a Swedish national,
was running for the council in Benissa before this
year’s elections. “She was
fourth on the Independent list, but only three
were elected,” Svoboda
observes.
“The two main things I
would have done if I had
been elected as mayor
would have been to make
access to town hall administration simpler and
more transparent. The
second thing would have
been to demand a forensic and total review of
the town’s books.”
This second idea was inspired by the news that
recently broke alleging
that neighbouring town,
Calpe, has a debt of 68
million euros.
Chuck and Lisa feel
strongly that all nationalities should be represented on the council, as
FALLAS: Readers would promote environmentally-friendly fiestas
the issues that affect expatriates may not necessarily always be relevant
to native residents.
“Here in Benissa, those
living in the coastal zone
– almost half the total
population, mainly EU
residents, and the area
that pays the highest taxes, more than half of the
town’s revenues – have
no representation on the
new town council.”
Painting the town –
but not necessarily
red
STRAY ANIMALS: Give free veterinary care to owners who rescue them
Juan, from Oliva, says “I
would put a toll booth on
the A7 just south of the
town. This coupled with
the one north of the town
would provide the muchneeded bypass at minimal cost.”
He would also provide
free veterinary care for
stray animals which are
given homes by local residents.
In the meantime, he says,
his wife would ban the
wearing of puffball skirts
– this summer’s widespread high-street fashion disaster – in the town
DONUT DAY: Should become a fiesta patronal
if she became mayoress,
scrap the one-céntimo
coin (“bloody useless,
tiny thing”) and remove
all smoking restrictions
in restaurants “and shoot
anyone who complains.”
“Push for the N-332 bypass and the GandiaDénia train-line, open
a Corte Inglés, instal
more regular buses to
the beach, create more
parking spaces and give
grants to people who
live on the N-332 to paint
their rendering, where
it’s been damaged by traffic fumes,” says Victoria,
also from Oliva.
Wayne, from Ondara,
would set up house-painting grant scheme like
Victoria. He would also
like to run free Spanish
language courses in the
town hall, and encourage
mayors of other municipalities to do the same. A
keen golfer, Wayne would
also cut green fees by 50
per cent on the courses in
any town in which he was
elected mayor.

Go green – and don’t
forget the foreigners
Dawn from Oliva says she
would pass a bye-law stopping homeowners from
pulling up native mountain plants from their
gardens. They should respect these valuable species and set aside an area
of their garden where
these plants are allowed
to grow freely and provide a habitat for mountain fauna.
Also with the environment in mind, Roberto
and Gabriela from El Verger say they would pressure the Valencian government to do a U-turn
on desalination plants,
and divert water currently discharging into the
sea from the river Ebro
down to the Comunitat
Valenciana and Región
de Murcia.
They would also hold
monthly surgeries at the
town hall where residents can visit them and
discuss their problems
and grievances concerning the state of the town.
Mindful of the importance of the expatriate
vote, they would employ
interpreters to encourage
non-Spanish residents to
come forward with their
suggestions.
In recent times, local people have observed an increase in the number of
prostitutes plying their
trade on the N-332 as it
passes through El Verger.
A sad fact of modern life,
these women – mostly
non-EU immigrants – find
themselves with little option but to enter this degrading ‘profession’ in
order to financially support their children, to
pay the bills and to put
food on the table.
Roberto and Gabriela
would like to see these
women’s lives made easier. “If they really have
to do it, then let them get
on with it, but as mayor
I would rent caravans to
them so they don’t have
to freeze to death in winter or ‘attend to clients’
in the orange groves,”
says Roberto.
Less bull, more fun
“If I had won the elections I would introduce
a Citizens’ Test for all
expats arriving permanently in Spain covering
Spanish vocabulary and
grammar; Spanish etiquette and customs, and
one part demystifying
the mañana attitude and
other misnomers,” comments Lucy Pilkington
from Parcent.
She would also promote
eco-friendly Fallas and
other fiestas, using nontoxic paint and compressed re-cycled paper
for the ninots and have
people-running
events
instead of bull-running.
Lucy says Xaló’s popular
‘Run of the Drunks’ set
the right example.
There should be
spaces for big
kids, not just
little ones. Adult
Twister in the
Plaza would be a
good idea
As mayoress, she would
also ensure some of the
funds raised from businesses in the town were
used to renovate the townhouses that are ‘trashed
during the events’.
On the less-serious side,
Lucy reveals that, as
mayoress, she would “insist the village have space
for ‘big kids’ as well as
little ones - bouncy castles for adults, five-a-side
football teams, ‘youth’
centres with pinball,
pelota and Playstations,
and Adult Twister painted on the centre of the
Plaza.”
She would also encourage
open council meetings,
conducted in the style of
It’s a Knockout.
“For example, whoever
survives the slippery pole
TWISTER: More fun for ‘big kids’, please
gets to be my Councillor
for Sport, and so on.”
In order to increase motivation and productivity
in the workplace, and improve the homelife-work
balance, Lucy wants to
“instigate a new town
calendar to include regular Doughnut Day, Dads
with Kids Day, Stay-inBed Day and Sing Loudly
Days.”
How not to win votes
and influence people
Charo López said that
if she became mayoress of her town – which
she
didn’t
wish
to
name and shame in
thinkSPAIN|today – the
first thing she would do
is throw a huge post-electoral bash to celebrate
her victory, inviting all
her friends and hangerson. “Then I would join
a gym and go to spas so
that I look good in official
photos. It goes without
saying that, as mayoress,
they’d give me discounts
or perhaps not even
charge for my beauty
treatments.”
But what would you do to
benefit your town, Charo?
“Exactly what the existing leader of my town
has done – which is not
a lot, but has resulted in
said candidate being reelected.”
And how would you ensure you were re-elected?
“I’d organise parties in
the areas where new expats have moved in – as
they don’t know me and
haven’t seen what I’ve
been doing these last four
years, with a couple of
balloons, a mobile disco
an a few plates of crisps
and nuts, I’ll have earned
their vote.
“Oh, and I’d fine people
for occupying space on
the pavement, like mopeds parked where they
shouldn’t be, but then
I’d use the pavements to
put up stalls the size of a
lorry promoting my party throughout the whole
electoral campaign.”
Charo, a keen musician,
believes conditions for

Elvis lives… and he’s a councillor in Reus
“If I were mayoress, I would adopt the
example of the guy who stood for mayor
of Reus (Cataluña), who plans to attend
council meetings dressed as Elvis,” Lucy
Pilkington reveals.
Ariel Santamaría amassed a huge quantity of votes by turning up at a plenary
looking like his hero, the King of Rock ‘n’
Roll, whom many claim to have seen alive
and well in various branches of Mercadona and propping up the local patron
saint fiestas.
Throwing a one-man concert as part of
his party’s electoral campaign, Ariel
‘Elvis’ Santamaría’s style of music was
closer to modern-day heavy rock than
the croon-friendly Don’t be cruel or Blue
suede shoes.
A keen environmentalist, former postman Santamaría wants to conserve
green belt areas whilst making good use
of the land at the same time. He proposes
growing hash plants in protected areas
of countryside.
Keen to brighten up the Tarragona-province town, Ariel has suggested painting
the Town Hall building pink.
Santamaría also suggested that if he became mayor, he would hand out 21,000
free bicycles for residents to use around
the town in order to cut pollution and
traffic jams.
local bands should be
improved and funds invested in them, as they
are a vital part of Spain’s
fiestas.
“If
I was mayoress
though, I’d do what they
do in my town – that is,
if bands want places to
practice, tell them they’ll
just have to buy their
own! Who cares if they
have to use a leaky old
warehouse with a corrugated roof and disturb
the neighbours three
times a week. As long as
I don’t live near it.”
We at thinkSPAIN|today
will be watching the electoral boards very closely
in four years’ time to see
whether any of you have
decided to put your ideas
into practice. If so, puffball skirt-wearers, riders
of noisy mopeds, those
who cannot be bothered
to walk to a bin to deposit
their rubbish and any
guests who drink their
hosts dry had better start
saying their prayers.
“Politics needs humour,” stresses Ariel,
when asked why he had taken this bizarre approach to his campaign.
Sadly, Ariel did not win the elections,
despite his popularity, but remains the
spokesman and sole councillor in office
for his party, CORI. Socialist leader Lluís
Miquel Pérez will continue to govern until 2011.

Spanish royals: Who’s who
in the modern monarchy
ThinkSPAIN|today takes a
closer look at the country’s
much-loved monarchy and
its tangled family tree...
By Paloma Casco
del Rey
Prior to the unification
of Spain instigated by
Fernando II of Castilla y
León and Queen Isabel I
of Aragón, Spain was a
constitution made up of
various kingdoms, duchies
and states, presided over
by warlords, nobility and
monarchs.
When Isabel I died, her
dominion was handed
down to her daughter,
Juana, who lost her sanity
when her husband Felipe
the Handsome or Felipe the
Fair, died a most untimely
and premature death. Juana
spiralled into inconsolable

grief and mourning, and
it was nearly impossible
to tear her away from her
husband’s lifeless body.
Juana was therefore proclaimed unfit to rule, leaving her father, Fernando
II to take command of the
kingdom of Aragón with
joint kingship with Juana’s
and Felipe’s son, Carlos I of
Spain. Officially, however,
Juana was still queen until
Carlos was old enough to
rule.
Carlos I and II
Carlos I also took control of
Castilla and Aragón upon
the deaths of his mother
and grandfather. He was
known as Carlos V, the Holy
Roman Emperor and was
the elected monarch via the
Vatican to be the leader of
the Holy Roman Empire,
crowned and elected by the
Pope himself.
His only legitimate son,
Felipe II of Spain was married to Mary I of England.
The house of Habsburg
from Austria began their
rule in Spain with Felipe the
Handsome, via his marriage
to Juana. The Habsburg
rule continued with four
more King Felipes, until
the remaining Habsburg,
Carlos II, who reigned until
the year 1700. The house
of Borbón then came into
power. Carlos II, the last rul-

without leaving any heirs,
therefore his powers transferred to his nephew, Felipe
V or Philippe d’Anjou and
grandson to Louis XIV of
France. After ruling for 24
years, Felipe V abdicated in
his son’s, Louis I’s favour;
although this reign was
very short lived as he died
of smallpox seven months
later, resulting with his
father having to be reinstated as king once again, for a
further twenty-two years.

the tender age of three upon
the death of her father,
with her mother ruling as
co-regent until she came
of age. This caused much
political upsurge in Spain,
as common machismo practice was (and still is to some
degree) that only a male
heir could reign. However,
Isabel II did indeed reign
from 1833 until 1868 until
she was finally overthrown
by the Spanish revolution
and was ruthlessly deposed
and replaced by the elected
Amadeus I, from the house
of Savoy. But the house of
Borbón was restored for the
second time in December
The return of the
House of Borbón
JUAN CARLOS: Restored democracy in Spain
José Napoleón I, King of
Naples and Spain, brother
to Emperor Napoleón I,
was the older brother of
the famous little Bonaparte
of Sardinia. His rule over
Spain was an arduous
and unpleasant task. With
assassination
attempts
looming over him at every
quarter and the unsettled
Spanish masses debating
his succession, his reign
lasted a duration of merely
five years.
The House of Borbón
returned again with the
succession of Fernando VII
who tried to instigate a new
law that the eldest-born,
whether male or female
should succeed the throne.
His eldest child, Isabel II
was pronounced queen at
The Borbón coat of arms
1874, with King Alfonso XII.
During his short reign, he
never allowed himself to
become an instrument in
political tangles and managed to restore peace after
much war and bloodshed.
Unfortunately he died at
the age of 27 of tuberculosis, awarding power to
his son Alfonso XIII, who
was proclaimed king at his
birth.
Alfonso XIII was hailed as
the promoter of tourism,
beginning with the construction of a hotel (by accident) with which to house
his guests for the duration
of his wedding to Victoria
Eugene of Battenberg,
granddaughter to Queen
Victoria of England. This
makes Queen Victoria the
great, great, grandmother to the current king of
Spain, King Juan Carlos I.
King Alfonso XIII was also
responsible for the launching of state-run lodges in
buildings of historical
importance, now known as
paradores.
Alfonso XIII eventually
lost his throne to the prime
minister, Miguel Primo de
Rivera, resulting in another dictatorship for Spain.
In 1931, upon the proclamation of the second Spanish
republic, Alfonso XIII fled
Spain without formally
abdicating his title, taking
his family to France. Upon
the outbreak of the Spanish
Civil War in 1936, led by
fascist dictator, General
Franco, Alfonso made it
be known that he favoured
this uprising, although
Franco stated that he
would never recognise him
as King. Alfonso later sent
his son Juan de Borbón,
Count of Barcelona, to
enter Spain via France, but
he was captured by General
Mola, expelling him from
the frontiers yet sparing
his life. Alfonso XIII finally
abdicated on 15th January
1941 shortly before his
death in February of the
same year.
His son, Juan de Borbón
was proclaimed sole heir to
the throne, however, Spain
was due for a bloody mass
of war and tyranny under
the rule of Franco, before
the House of Borbón was
subsequentially re-established three decades later.
Franco’s regime
Ironically, in 1947, Franco
came to recognise the state
of the monarchy, preparing to restore the King to
his throne, but he would
not allow Alfonso’s son,
the Count of Barcelona to
be King. Instead, Franco
favoured Spain’s current
King Juan Carlos I, allowing him to return to Spain
for his education and
sending him to military
school. After much political debate between Franco
and his partisan supporters regarding who Franco
would name as heir, he
agreed to return the monarchy to the throne after
his death. Franco nominated Juan Carlos, whom he
thought was young enough
to groom for the role in a
way which would preserve
his iron -fisted regime. In
1969, Juan Carlos was officially announced as heir to
the throne and proclaimed
as Prince of Spain.
The King of Spain
today
Juan Carlos I was born in
Italy on January 5, 1938 with
a genial heritage spanning
across Europe and England.
He is a member of one of
the oldest royal families in
Europe, but he lived in exile
FEATURE
July 6 - July 12 2007
with his family in Italy
before moving to Portugal.
In 1948, Juan Carlos moved
to San Sebastián to commence his studies, completing them in 1954 at the San
Isidro Institute in Madrid.
He then underwent officer
training for three years
in Zaragoza, serving one
year at the Naval School in
Pontevedra, with another
year at the Air Force in
San Javier, Murcia. In 1961,
Juan Carlos graduated from
Complutense University
after majoring in Political
and International Law,
Economics and Public
Administration.
Juan Carlos’ reign began
with the downfall of fascism, installing democracy
in a country that was still
bearing the scars of war.
His replacement was welcomed by the people of
Spain although there were
many who were unsure
of what he was going to
do, or how he would reign.
Many felt he would continue in the same manner
as Franco had previously
ruled, as this was Franco’s
wishes. On October 30,
1975, Franco was nearing
death and therefore relinquished his power, handing all authority over to the
prince. Franco finally died
on November 20, 1975, and
seven days later, the prince
ascended to the Spanish
throne, initiated by an
anointing ceremony called
the Holy Spirit Mass. The
new king quickly went to
work, implementing democratic reforms much to the
displeasure of Franco’s
fascist supporters. In 1978,
Spain’s new legislation was
finally prepared and henceforth is celebrated annually on its anniversary of
December 6. This was also a
promulgation of his rightful inheritance, and not an
appointment as an heir of
Franco.
A royal union
The eldest daughter of
King Paul I of the Hellenes
and Princess Frederika of
Hannover, Queen Sofía is a
member of the extravagantly-titled Shleswig-HolsteinSonderburg-Glücksburg
dynasty. However, Greece
as a democratic country no
longer bears a royal family,
therefore such titles are no
longer recognised. During
her family’s exile, she
spent much of her childhood in Egypt and South
Africa. She is educated
in paediatrics, archaeol-
ogy and music, acquired in
Athens; she is also fluent
in Spanish, Greek, English,
French and German. The
queen represented Greece
in sailing at the 1960 summer Olympics, evidence of
the royal family’s love of
the sport – as is their participation in the America’s
Cup. On May 14 1962, Juan
Carlos I married his queen,
previously Princess Sofía
of Greece and Denmark,
after meeting on a cruise
around the Greek islands
in 1954. Queen Sofía is also,
much in the same manner
as her husband, the greatgreat granddaughter of
Queen Victoria, making
her third cousin to her husband. She is second cousin
to Charles, the Prince of
Wales through her grandfather King George I of
Greece and she is first cousin once-removed to Prince
Philip (Queen Elizabeth’s
husband). Via her relations
to Christian IX of Denmark
and Queen Victoria, (her
great grandmother was
Princess Victoria, daughter
of Queen Victoria). Lastly,
Queen Sofía is double-third
cousin to Queen Elizabeth
II of England. Spooky? And
you thought history was
tangled with the Borjas.
Mind your Ps and Qs
Queen Sofía only eats fish
(a pescetarian) and no land
animals whatsoever.
She detests bull-fighting,
of which her husband is a
fan. She holds the title of
Catholic Monarch, meaning she is entitled to wear
white in the presence of the
Pope, instead of the traditional black. This is known
as the White Privilege.
The Borbón
descendants
The royal couple have three
children, the eldest being
La Infanta Elena born on
December 20, 1963. Two
years later, La Infanta
Cristina arrived on June
13, 1965, then finally on
January 30, 1968 an heir to
the throne was born, Prince
Felipe of Asturias. None of
the children have married
into royalty. They have chosen to marry outside the
European monarchy, uniting with other subjects or
people of non-noble lineage.
In total, the royal couple’s
children have produced
eight grandchildren to date
– eight new additions to the
House of Borbón.

21st Century Queen
For the first time in Spanish
history, a unique new legislation has been approved,
not merely by the monarchy but also in accordance
with the government.
During the reign of Isabel
II, this bill was put forward by her father, but was
not agreed by the Prime
Minister. The bill states
that the eldest child, whether male or female, shall succeed the Prince of Asturias,
therefore after centuries
of female denial within
the Spanish Constitution
and much political debate,
Spain has finally recognised the importance of
female equality within the
monarchy.
This new law may prove to
be the beginning of a new
dawn regarding the equality for women in Spain; it
is certainly a long-awaited
leap forward.
Other Princes of
Asturias
This title contains the same
functions and meaning as
the Prince of Wales in the
UK.
The first Prince of Asturias
was Enrique III whom later
became King of Castilla y
León in 1390 at the age of
eleven, although not confirmed into his full, supreme
power until the age of fourteen. His wife, Katherine of
Lancaster bore him three
children, (so English and
Spanish relations have long
been a feature).
His son, John II, described
by historians as a weak and
feeble king, was the second
Prince of Asturias and via
his second marriage to
Isabel of Portugal (as he
was widowed in his first
marriage) fathered Isabel
la Católica – a fearsome
warrior responsible for the
deaths of thousand of Jews
and Muslims. We imagine
she must have been more
like her mother.
The last and remaining of
the historical Princes of
Asturias was Enrique IV
of Castilla y León, otherwise known as Enrique the
Impotent as he refused to
consummate either of his
two marriages. His first
was to Blanca de Navarra,
when after thirteen years
of marriage she petitioned
for a divorce and an internal examination was made
to verify her virginity. Her
virginity was intact but
poor Blanca was sent home,
where she was imprisoned
and later poisoned.
FAMILY PORTRAIT: The king and queen with their children, the Infantes
MUM AND SON: Queen Sofía and Prince Felipe greet the crowds with a smile
Upon the unity of his second marriage, artificial
insemination was performed several times, yet
to no avail. To this day, the
question of paternity of the
queen’s daughter remains a
mystery as it was common
knowledge that the King
was homosexual, leaving
the queen with no other
alternative but to take a
lover.
She was disgraced at a
later date for having sexual
relations with the Bishop
Fonseca’s nephew, resulting in her divorce. However,
her daughter Juana was
the only heir to Enrique’s
throne. He insisted that his
nobles swear allegiance
to his supposed daughter,
however her aunt and halfsister to Henry IV, Isabel
la Católica, quickly put an
end to that.
In total so far, there have
been 36 Princes and
Princesses of Asturias
from 1390 to the present day,
with the current title-holder being Prince Felipe de
Borbón, son of King Juan
Carlos I.
Felipe’s marriage in May
2005 to Princess Letizia,
who was originally a jour-
nalist (there is hope for us
yet!) brought about another
royal wedding in Spain and
a future new queen.
Recently their second daughter Sofía was born, taking
the name of her grandmother, however both daughters
are known officially as HRH
The Infanta Leonor, and
HRH The Infanta Sofía de
Borbón y Ortiz.
Their eldest daughter,
Princess Leonor will one
day reign supreme, creating
a greater legacy for women
in Spain, in the name of
feminine equality.

Q
Can a 50-50 split
of
assets
be
achieved during divorce
proceedings in Spain, as
they might in the UK?
A
First of all one must
be aware that there
are no firm rules about
how assets are divided by
a court in the UK during
divorce proceedings.
The court has a wide discretion to make whatever
financial orders it thinks
fit. There is no presumption that if the house or
any other asset is in joint
names, the husband and
wife will each be entitled
to half. There is no pre-
sumption that either the
husband or the wife are
automatically entitled to
one third or any other
proportion of the joint
assets and income.
Where the parties are originally from the UK, were
married in the UK, and
are now living in Spain
and wish to be divorced
in Spain, then it is very
likely that the law to be
applied here in Spain will
be English law, or Scots
law where the parties are
from Scotland.
In turn this means that,
yes, it may well be possible to achieve a divorce
settlement in Spain which

of assets, irrespective of
whether those assets are
registered in one person’s
sole name.
Instead
of
rules,
Parliament in the UK has
laid down a list of factors which the court must
consider before making
a financial order. They
include the present and
future needs, resources
and earning capacity of
both husband and wife,
their age, the length of
their marriage and the
contributions of each to
the family finances. First
consideration must be
given to the welfare of
any children, however.
Using a practical example, let us imagine that a
couple from London purchased a retirement property in Calpe in the wife’s
sole name on the basis
that she would be expected to outlive the husband.
Not necessarily the best
ownership structure, but
it does happen.
Following the breakdown
of their marriage, the
husband will need to demonstrate to the Spanish
court that he is entitled
to 50% of the property’s
value, this being the
main asset of the marriage. Acting quickly will
be essential as, whilst it
is highly likely that the
husband has a good claim
under English law, the
wife will be able to sell
the property until this
has been proven.

Q
Is a low valuation of
a property common
in Spain?
Could
you
please
comment on whether
or not it is common in
Spain for bank surveyor
valuations
to
be
significantly lower than
actual purchase prices?
In connection with a
property I am currently
purchasing,
the
valuation is only twothirds (66 per cent) of
the purchase price! I
am told that there is
nothing wrong with
the property and lower
valuations are quite
common.
But why? Should I be
worried?
I
look
forward
to
hearing from you soon.
A
Two thirds of the
purchase price is not
common at all. It may be
that the surveyor is not
accurate (or he is simply
inexperienced) or that the
property is overpriced.
Normally the purchase
price and the valuation
figure differ by around
10 per cent, at times the
valuation being 10 per
cent higher that the actual
price.
I have signed the
builders’ contract
and deposited 3,000
euros. Half of the housepurchase is to be given
to the agents within five
weeks of doing this,
which is 80,000 euros.
Why are the agents
asking for so much
money in such a short
time? How can I find
out whether or not my
agents are trust worthy,
and that they won’t run
off with my money or
default on the finishing
of the building? The
property is only a shell
at present.
A
My first recommendation would be for you
to seek some legal advice.
Money is very tempting
and taking as much as
possible in advance is a
great business move for

both the agent and the
builder.
You need to ensure that
you will receive some
sort of guarantee from
the developer – that is, if
you are purchasing from
a habitual property developer. You have to receive
either a bank guarantee
or an insurance policy. If
you are engaging the services of a builder-developer who does not give
guarantees, I simply recommend you do not pay
that amount of money.
Even if you own the land
where it is built on, the
risk is high. Recently,
some clients of mine, who
had bought a property
in Torrevieja, engaged
a local builder to make
some reforms. Their
choice was not appropriate as the builder turned
out to be a gambler, and
they could not even proceed against him as he
was penniless.
If the deposit contract
does not envisage any
schedule of payments,
you are able to make an
offer to the builder. If the
payment structure is contained in the deposit contract, you need to renegotiate it.

Rate hikes have mostly
affected purchases of new
vehicles as car loans become less affordable.
New registrations of cars
and 4x4 vehicles in the first
half of this year have fallen
by 1.6 per cent – or in region
of 14,000 units.
This information was supplied by the national associations of manufacturers, ANFAC, and retailers,
GANVAM.
Car loans have also fallen
by nearly two-thirds during
the same period.
The Plan Prever loan, offered in most large showrooms, was sold to 135,800 buyers in the first half of 2007
– a drop of 31.6 per cent on
the same period last year.
Turning to car sales as a
whole, including secondhand vehicles, a fall of 1.8
per cent – which translates to some 3,000 cars – has
been reported.
A decrease of five per cent
in the number of private
car-buyers has been seen
this year, compared with
the predicted fall of 3.2 per
cent. By contrast, the number of cars sold to hire companies rose by 10.7 per cent
in the last month, with the
onset of the tourist season,
bringing the annual increase to 6.3 per cent.
In terms of makes and models, Citröens have proved
to be the most popular so
far this year, followed by Renault and Ford. Thirty per
cent of all cars sold throughout Spain this year run on
diesel.

Foreign folk and their
funny financial habits
Expats are welcomed by property
sellers and used car-dealers, says recent research, and are less likely to
get into debt…
By Samantha Kett
For richer, for poorer
While the native population of Spain is fond
of buying their biggest
assets on credit, it does
seem that foreigners living here avoid loans and
finance like the plague.
Whether they are buying
houses, furniture or cars,
expatriates – European citizens or otherwise – are
more inclined to pay the
full price up front in cash.
The Observador Cetelem
2007 report, sponsored by
BNP-Paribas, says around
half of Spanish nationals
buy furniture on credit,
whereas just a quarter of
foreign residents do so.
The
bank’s
Foreign
Affairs and Research manager, Salvador Maldonado, says this is largely due
to the fact that expatriates
have difficulty in obtaining finance for large purchases because of their
low incomes or precarious economic situations.
Yet, often, these results are due to the reverse
situation – that the customer in question has
enough funds to buy what
he or she requires without
needing to borrow any
money to do so. In other
cases, it is simply fear of
getting into debt, especially in a foreign country
where they are not necessarily familiar with laws
and procedures covering
credit, that puts them off
paying for goods in installments.
The study involved interviewing 2,000 people resident in Spain – ‘junior’
citizens (classed as 18 to
35-year-olds) and those
the organisers referred to,
controversially, as ‘senior’
citizens (who were not necessarily anything of the
kind, but in fact were aged
55 and over) and foreign
residents of all ages.
It also looked into expatriates’ car-buying habits
and found that they are
more likely to pay in cash
than Spanish citizens,
and tend to opt for secondhand rather than brandnew cars.
In fact, Maldonado believes expats’ presence in
Spain is great news for
the used car industry.
They have given sales of
second-hand cars and allterrain vehicles a huge
push. This means that,
although sales of newlyregistered vehicles have
fallen by 1.6 per cent this
year, the industry as a
whole should see good
results as the former will
offset this loss.
Like their native neighbours, expatriates prefer
to buy rather than rent
their home, El Observador Cetelem reveals, although they tend to buy
in cash more often than
on a mortgage and opt for
second-hand properties
rather than new builds,
on the whole.
Although the reason given for this trend is that
foreign residents have
more difficulty in obtai-
ning credit, house-price inflation in Northern
Europe in the last decade
has meant that a number
of expatriates from these
countries have been able
to buy their properties
outright.
Expatriates – good news
for Spain
According to the report,
Spain as a country will
always benefit from immigration. Foreign residents
from poorer countries
mop up the numerous vacancies for less-popular,
less
well-remunerated
jobs, given that their salaries will be much higher than in their home
country and they are even
able to send money back
to family members they
have left behind. Additionally, more babies are being born to foreign mums
than to Spanish women
– the birth-rate in Spain
is at an all-time low of 0.8
children per couple, due to
the problem of temporary
employment
contracts
and out-of-reach houseprices forcing women of
child-bearing age to put
off starting a family.
However, foreign mums
are redressing this balance, meaning that fears of
an increasingly ageing
population may be unfounded.
‘Senior’ citizens – the
new youngsters
El Observador also revealed that the older generation today has a strikingly different outlook on
life than their forefathers
and mothers. They tend
to have a higher level of
education, be more cultured and well-travelled
and better off financially
than their predecessors.
The 21st-century retiree
CAR SALES: Expats prop up the used car market
is also more likely to be
concerned about their general physical health and
well-being, with 95 per
cent of women making an
effort to eat a healthy, balanced diet.
These changing habits do
not bear any particular
relation to nationality,
although Spanish people
are more likely to remain
in their home town after
they retire, with 91.8 per
cent expressing their intention to stay put once
they reach 65. A huge
contrast to the Northern
Europeans, the majority
of whom seek out warmer
climes or, at least, a change of scenery, when they
are no longer restricted by
the daily grind.

Telefónica will face ‘largest fine in
history’ over monopoly allegations
Telefónica has received the
biggest fine in the history
of
telecommunications
companies from the EU for
anti-competition practices,
according to sources from
Brussels.
The firm faces a penalty of
100 million euros, putting it
high up on the list of multi-nationals that have paid
the world’s highest fines – a
list headed up by Microsoft,
which was forced to stump
up 497 million euros in
2004.
According to the European
Commission,
Telefónica
has attempted to gain a monopoly in the ADSL market.
It says Telefónica’s fine serves as an example to other
companies, and has been
levied due to the firm’s alleged ‘abuse’ of its dominant
position in the broadband
market-place, a spokesperson from the EC claims.
The Commission accuses
the company of attempting
to kick its rivals out of the
market by ‘narrowing the
margins’.
This translates as charging
wholesale prices to other
operators wishing to provide ADSL services to their
customers which are vastly higher than those paid
by the end consumer. This
means new operators do
not have a sufficient margin when they sell on these
services, which they are
obliged to purchase from
Telefónica.
This case came to light
when France Télécom
– then Wanadoo – reported
the matter in 2003, leading
to legal action being taken
against Telefónica by the
Competition Commission
in February 2006.
Telefónica, which hopes
the Spanish government
will intervene and fight its
corner, claims the ADSL
market in Spain is highly
competitive, evidenced by
the fact that 47 per cent
of users are connected up
via other providers such
as Orange, Ya.com, Tele2,
Jazztel and various cable
operators.
A representative of the
firm says that to date, no
internet provider has been
forced out of business because it was unable to set
sufficiently
competitive
prices to attract customers,
and has additionally accused the European Union of
seeking a scapegoat.
It appears that Telefónica’s
main argument is that each
and every one of its ADSL
offers has express authorisation from the Spanish
telecommunications regulator, CMT (la Comisión del
Mercado de Telecomunicaciones), a body that, according to the firm, does ‘not
appreciate’ narrowing of
competition margins.
Spanair flights are
affected by strike
STRIKE: Cabin crew protest over conditions
TELEFÓNICA: Its fine serves as ‘an example’
Spanair flights returned to
normal on Monday after a
day-long strike that forced
the company to cancel 26
trips.
Only one flight between
Madrid and Málaga, scheduled for 07.30 hrs on Monday, was delayed indefinitely due to problems linked to
the strike and the closure
of Ibiza airport on Saturday due to a bomb threat.
However, passengers were
placed on other planes and
eventually reached their
destination.
Cabin crew downed tools
on Sunday and also on June
25 in protest over working
conditions.
At least half of the payroll, or some 1,300 members
of staff, took to the picket
line.
Further strikes are planned for Monday and for
July 15 and 31.
The union also intends
to down tools on the first,
15th, 30th or 31st day of
each successive month.
The independent cabin
crew union, El Sindicato
Independiente de Tripulantes de Cabina (SITCPLA) says it is prepared
to negotiate and hold talks
with Spanair over pay and
working conditions of staff with the aim of signing
what would be the first-ever
written agreement covering terms of employment
in the company’s twentyyear history.
Flight attendants say there
are insufficient staff numbers, their pay is poor and
their workload is unsustainable.
Spanair, owned by SAS, has
expressed its willingness to
negotiate with unions but
has not confirmed a timescale.

Torres joins Reds
Fernando Torres has completed
his move from Atlético de Madrid
to Liverpool after signing a six-year
contract. The 23-year-old striker,
who moved to Anfield in a £26.5 million deal, passed a medical at the
club’s Melwood training ground on
Wednesday.
He briefly flew back to his homeland
to say an emotional goodbye to fans
in Madrid before arriving back on
Merseyside to complete the formalities of the transfer.
Torres, speaking through an interpreter, said: “I’m very happy to be
joining the club.
“It is a fantastic opportunity to be
joining one of the best clubs in Europe
with a fantastic history.
“You don’t get opportunities like this
every day of your life.”
Asked what impact manager Rafael
Benítez had on his decision the Spain
striker said: “It was important, the
confidence shown in me by him.
“When you hear a club like Liverpool
is interested in you it is something
that fills you with a lot of surprise
and a lot of pride.”
Torres insisted he was ready to work
extremely hard to live up to his high
price tag.
Asked whether it would be hard to
adapt to the English top flight, Torres
added: “Liverpool are a slightly different case, I have spoken to my
team-mates who have come from the
Spanish league so that will help with
settling in.”
FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY: I’m joining one of the best clubs
Torres would not be drawn on reports
that Chelsea had been interested in
signing him last summer.
He said: “I don’t think it does any
good to speak about what happened
in the past. As soon as I heard of
Liverpool’s interest that was the only
club I wanted to consider.”
Torres expressed his determination
to settle in as soon as possible and
secure a regular first-team place.
Coach Benítez insisted that despite
the hefty price tag there was no undue
pressure on Torres to shatter scoring
records.
He said: “I’m not thinking about 20
goals (a season). I’d rather have four
strikers who score 15 goals each.
“He’s a player who was playing first
team at 17 years old and he can handle
pressure. He was captain at Atlético
de Madrid, trying to win trophies and
he was always under pressure to do
that. He can handle it.”
McLaren scandal ahead of British GP
Mario Suárez
European champion Spain
showed its true colours on
Wednesday with a relentless pursuit of speedy
Zambia that made up for
a draw the previous game
in the FIFA under-20 World
Cup.
Spain got first-half goals
from Mario Suárez and
Juan Manuel Mata to beat
persistent Zambia 2-1 and
atone for a draw against
Uruguay in the opener.
Spain and Uruguay now
have four points each to
top Group B standings with
one game remaining in the
round-robin portion of the
draw.
The new golden boy of Formula One
racing will face the British Grand
Prix this weekend haunted by fears of
points deductions.
Lewis Hamilton’s world title aspirations may be wrecked after Formula
One’s governing body followed up
Ferrari’s accusations of industrial
espionage against his McLaren team.
The FIA stepped in four days before
the British Grand Prix after Ferrari
had accused their former top English
mechanic Nigel Stepney of leaking secret technical information
to McLaren’s chief designer Mike
Coughlan.
Their involvement means McLaren
could be penalised if they are found
to have benefited from the hundreds
of pages of confidential information allegedly found during a raid at
Coughlan’s Surrey house earlier this
week.
It would be a devastating blow for
British sensation Hamilton, 22, who
takes a 14-point lead over Spanish
team-mate Fernando Alonso into the
weekend’s race at Silverstone. Ferrari
pair Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen
trail him by 17 and 22 points, while
McLaren hold a 25-point advantage
over their arch Italian rivals in the
constructors’ standings.
HAMILTON: Worrying time ahead
The scandal has already resulted in
Stepney’s dismissal and Coughlan’s
suspension. The British team moved
swiftly to protest their innocence, saying: “McLaren have completed a thorough investigation and can confirm
that no Ferrari intellectual property
has been passed to any other members
of the team or incorporated into their
cars.”
Despite the protests, the FIA will
consider whether it is plausible that
Coughlan, 48, used the secret informa-
tion he appeared to receive at the end
of April for any purpose other than to
help his own team.
Ferrari are not prepared to let the matter rest, saying they “reserve the right
to consider all implications, be they
criminal, civil or any other natures”.
Ferrari’s words are a veiled threat
that they could campaign for McLaren
to be docked points or even excluded from the championship if their
suspicions are borne out. Since late
April, McLaren have won the Monaco,
Canadian and American grand prix
but Ferrari clearly out-performed
them to claim their first one-two of
the season in last Sunday’s race in
France.
Hamilton is trying not to be distracted
by the furore as he aims to become the
first Briton to triumph at Silverstone
since David Coulthard in 2000.
He said: “To win at this race would
be immense, but we have to be realistic with our expectations. Without a
doubt it will be the biggest race of the
year for me, as it’s my home race.”
Silverstone are fighting their own battle against the rain, organising extra
roadways and manpower to help fans
get in and out of the car parks which
are suffering from the recent heavy
downpours.

Mexico and
Chile through
to the next
round
Mexico and Chile booked
their spots in the Copa
America
quarter-finals
after the two sides played
out a tepid goalless draw on
Wednesday.
The result saw the Mexicans
top Group B on seven points
after victories over Brazil
and Ecuador, while Chile’s
four-point haul was good
enough for them to also
make the last eight.
In the evening’s second
game, Brazil edged Ecuador,
1-0, to earn a match up with
Chile in the quarter-finals.
The results also mean
elimination for the United
States and Colombia, however with a game to play,
either side can still overhaul Uruguay, which is currently claiming the secondbest third-place spot.
Mexico and Chile were
booed off the pitch at the
final whistle by the 35,000
fans packed into the Luis
Ramos stadium after a
game of few chances.
With qualification already
assured, Mexico boss Hugo
Sánchez took the opportunity to include fringe players Gonzalo Pineda, José
Antonio Castro and Jaime
Lozano.
Robinho scored Brazil’s
only goal from the spot
after 55 minutes as Dunga’s
side eventually overcame
their winless opponents in
an entertaining game in
Puerto La Cruz.
Brazil had the better of
the first half but it was
Ecuador which threatened
first.
Ten minutes after the
half-time break, Robinho
opened the scoring when
he was brought down in the
box before dusting himself
off to convert the resulting
penalty.
That seemed to deflate
the Ecuadorians and they
were unable to threaten the
Brazilians for the rest of
the encounter.
Robinho was inches away
from nodding in a second
for Brazil from Wagner
Love’s cross, as Ecuador
were eliminated having
conceded six goals in three
games.

A Texas Scramble started
the week. Again there was
some tremendous scoring
but no other team could
come near the phenomenal
score posted by the team
of Nick Campbell, Mike
Mahony, Ron Phipps and
Tony Whyatt who came in
with 55.4. The round included 12 birdies and an eagle.
On Wednesday we had
our usual weekly singles
Stableford. Scoring was
good but it is noticeable
as the greens are getting
quicker and the fairways
shorter that average scoring in points terms is getting lower. Round of the day
came from Nick Campbell
with 41 pts. Results were:
Cat 1. 1. Nick Campbell 41pts,
2. Ken Robertson 40pts, 3.
Norman Page 39pts.
Cat 2. 1. Yvonne Phipps
36pts (on count back), 2.
Sue Golding 36pts, 3. Tony
Brooks 35pts.

Ester and Charlie
rise to the top
Last Sunday at Oliva Nova,
the Par 3 course was again
in great condition as the
Escuela de Golf juniors battled it out. While many of
the older students competed
in the national Pandanni
qualifying event on the
main course a big group of
young and talented juniors
worked on developing their
games on the Par 3.
After weeks of hard work
and determination Ester,
age 8 played the round of
her life and produced a 3
under net score. Young Cian
Greenwood, age 8 tied Ester
in first place but lost on
the countback. All players
chipped and putted like pros
and on the 2nd hole Ryan
Stanford hit his tee shot to 3
feet to claim the Nearest the
Pin Trophy.
A special mention goes
to the player who takes
home the much coveted
Performance of the Day
award. This week Charlie
Parkin not only played well
to claim his best finish but
showed great patience and
determination during his
round.
In the other categories,
Charlie H, age 8 won the
beginners event by playing
to his handicap and Daniel
Rowlands, age 14 won the
advanced event by shooting
an impressive 3 under gross
score over 15 holes.

I N T E R N AT I O N A L S P O R T
Wet and windy Wimbledon
Tennis pundits are labelling this
year’s Wimbledon tournament the
worst in living memory. It is not
since the first year at the grounds
in 1922, when it rained every day,
that the event has seen such dreary
conditions.
“This year is as bad as I can remember,” said former home favourite
Jo Durie, looking back on three
decades at Wimbledon as player
and radio commentator.
“People are weary of the constant
rain breaks.”
And it is not just the commentators who are complaining. Many
players have accused the All
England Club of scheduling mis-
takes which have exacerbated the
problems and led to a bias in the
draw. “I don’t understand some
things,” said Spanish Rafael Nadal
after a third-round victory over
Robin Soderling, which began with
a knock-up on Saturday afternoon
and ended at 12.32 hrs on Tuesday.
“I don’t understand why we didn’t
play on Sunday. The weather was
OK, much better than yesterday
and Monday. I don’t understand
why they cancelled yesterday
(Tuesday) when at 20.10 hrs there
was sunshine and we can play one
hour. They don’t think very much
about the players here, maybe.”
Asked if he still loved Wimbledon,
CENTRE COURT: Rare double rainbow
the French Open champion replied:
“After the tournament, I don’t
know. Right now a little bit less
than when I came. The chances of
the down draw is less than the up
draw, no?”
Novak Djokovic, another to take
five days to reach the last 16 was
also concerned about not using the
middle Sunday.
“That was a bad decision by the
organisers,” he said after his 7-6, 67, 6-2, 7-6 defeat of Nicolas Kiefer.
“They knew the forecast for this
week is going to be bad and it was
at the end of a week of a lot of rain.
Sunday was a very nice day, so they
should have finished the matches.”
The fans have been in rebellion,
too. Shorter queues and lower
attendances have been a feature of
the fortnight, with the collection
point at Gate Five daily reporting
bunches of tickets not picked up.
This would have been unheard of
in previous years.
Can it really be that the withdrawal
of Andy Murray, the second round
defeat of Tim Henman and the
failure of any other British man
to win a set in the singles turned
tennis fans off and away?
With no World Cup or any other
major sporting event in competition this summer, this was a real
chance for Wimbledon to shine,
but without any sun, this has been
hard.
Apart from Henman’s exciting first
round win, matches have been epic
VICTORIOUS NADAL: Waiting for sunnier days at Wimbledon
only in length. Sadly, the drama
and excitement on court, which
is such a compelling feature of
Wimbledon, has rarely been evident this time around.
Officials are suggesting that in
view of the backlog of games it
is very likely that the tournament
will stretch into the third week,
causing a nightmare for organisers and costing the Club thousands of extra pounds.

Switzerland’s Alinghi won the 32nd
America’s Cup on Tuesday, beating
Team New Zealand by one second
in a thrilling seventh race to take
the series 5-2.
The Swiss syndicate become the
first European team to defend the
Cup, their crew cheering with
relief having almost lost the race
when their spinnaker pole snapped
off the mast.
As Alinghi fans rang cowbells out
on the water, the Kiwi crew sat
with their heads bowed, hardly
speaking to each other.
In the closest and most enthralling series for years, Team New
Zealand had fought doggedly to
win back sailing’s most prestigious
prize, which they lost to Alinghi 5-0
in 2003.
“If I had to pick one (as my favourite) it would be this one,” team
president and founder Ernesto
Bertarelli told reporters.
“It was close and it was harder.
When you have to fight it the way
we fought it and pull deep into the
team, into each individual who
has been with us over the last four
years, it makes it a more fulfilling
and stronger victory.
“It’s been a real lesson in life,
one of the hardest things I’ve ever
done. Today is probably, beside the
birth of my kids, the best day of
my life,” said the 41-year-old billionaire.
Skipper Butterworth, who won his
fourth consecutive America’s Cup
on Tuesday, said this victory was
his favourite.
“The strength in our sailing
team has been fantastic,” he said.
“There was another good team out
there that was equal or close to it
so to win again shows the strength
of our crew and I find it incredibly
fulfilling.”
Alinghi joins Team Dennis Conner
and Team New Zealand as the only
crews in America’s Cup history to
win as a Challenger and Defender.
Tuesday’s race was a heart-stopping end to the best-of-nine series
with the boats hardly more than a
boat length apart for most of the
race, playing clever tactical games
to win a few metres of advantage.
The turning point came at the top
of the second upwind leg when
Team New Zealand got enough
advantage to ‘dial down’, turning
downwind and attacking Alinghi
nose on.
Alinghi had to swerve to miss
them and the umpires slapped New
Zealand with a penalty.
Coming back downwind, Alinghi
had more problems with their
gybes and suddenly the pole that
holds out the bottom corner of the
spinnaker jumped off the mast, the
kite went flying off in the wind and
the 24-metre yacht came to a halt.
New Zealand swept past the stalled
Swiss boat and did a double tack to
pay their penalty. Alinghi finally
got a jib up and started chasing for
the finish line, caught up with the
Kiwis and just got ahead.
“It was obviously pretty close but
all credit to Alinghi. They sailed
well, kept it close, kept on sailing
the way they do and beat us fair
and square,” said New Zealand’s
Grant Dalton.
Alinghi, who brought the Cup to
Europe for the first time since the
initial race in 1851, now have the
right to organise the next event
where, when and how they want.
Many followers expect the Genevabased team to choose a new
Spanish yacht club as the challenger of record with whom they
will set the rules of the next edition. That raises the possibility
the 33rd America’s Cup will be in
2009 in Valencia.

Dutch winger Arjen Robben
is to quit Premiership giants
Chelsea for Real Madrid,
according to reports in the
Spanish media.
“Green light for Robben,”
trumpeted AS sports daily,
quoting chairman Ramón
Calderón as saying that
“we need a director of the
orchestra.”
AS said at the weekend
that Liga champions Real
had struck an agreement
in London with Robben’s
father and agent and were
waiting only on Chelsea’s
acceptance.
Robben is currently in
negotiations with Chelsea
over a contract extension until 2012 but has
not always been in favour
with the club’s coach Jose
Mourinho, who AS said
has now resigned himself
to the transfer.
