Jobless figures on the rise DESPITE the busy summer season, unemployment rose in August. Hotels reported increased capacity and there was a rise in tourists across the region, but that did not seem to be reflected in the jobless figures. Registered unemployment rose last month across nine regions in Spain, led by Valencia with almost 4,902 more people without work, a
rise of 0.82 per cent, and Murcia (2,692). In the Valencia Region unemployment now stands at 573,486, as reported by the Ministry of Employment and Social Security. Murcia has 151,152 people registered as unemployed, an increase of 2,692 people from July. Nationally, by sector, unemployment rose especially in
the services sector (0.37 per cent) followed by industry (0.66 per cent). Jobless figures were down in construction and agriculture. August was more positive for those aged under 25 as 9,199 found work. Compared with July, unemployment among men rose by 1,229 (0.05 per cent) to a total of 2,288,893 in Spain and among women it fell by 1,260 (0.05 per cent) and amounted to 2,409,890.

F
OUR out of 10 Britons who moved abroad last year were seeking a new love in their life. A determining factor of love being a priority for expat life is age, with more than half in the 30-39 bracket willing to consider emigrating in search of finding ‘The One’, according to a new survey. There are 35,375 Britons registered as resident in Spain between these ages. Men are also more romantic than women when searching for love, with more than 46 per cent of males willing to consider life abroad in the hope of exchanging ‘I dos’ in a foreign language, compared with 31 per cent of females.

Copper couple detained A MARRIED couple have been arrested, accused of stealing almost a tonne of copper cabling from street lighting in the Cartagena areas of Miranda and El Albujon. It is believed the husband had some knowledge of electrics and knew how to rip out the cabling.

Showing remorse for the crime, which took place at the female’s house in Cabo de las Huertas, he went on to deny charges of burglary and attempted murder and was remanded in prison as he awaits trial. The 29-year-old defendant from Slovakia is alleged to have entered the property through the patio. Once inside, he is reported to have handcuffed and raped the woman. The arrival of one of her relatives surprised the attacker and he is said to have wielded a knife at them in order to make his escape. A National Police investigation led to his arrest following a positive identification of the man after he was seen walking his dog in the Cabo zone of the city by an off-duty officer of the Provincial Public Safety Brigade.

Galvan, who was serving a 30-year sentence in a Morocco jail, returned to Spain after erroneously receiving a royal pardon and is now remanded in Soto del Real prison (Madrid). He was brought before a Torrevieja judge to answer claims that he abused the local girl, now 14, between 2004 and 2006, while he lived in Torrevieja. The girl said nothing about the abuse until Galvan left, but her family recognised Iraqi-born Galvan who now has Spanish nationality, from the media attention surrounding the case.

Police will be specifically monitoring the use of seat belts and CRS across the Orihuela municipality from September 9-15. The DGT says 41 per cent of those killed in traffic accidents on urban roads were not wearing seat belts. CRS belts are compulsory for children whose height is less than 1.35cm (around 12-yearsold) with the DGT believing that 70 per cent of children travelling by car do not use the restraints correctly. CRS reduces the injuries resulting from an accident by 75 per cent and nine out of 10 children in serious or fatal accidents could have been saved if they had used their CRS correctly.

It is against the law to wear a bikini, swimming trunks or to go bare-chested away from the beach-front area. Don’t carry or use drugs.

It is illegal to import more than 200 cigarettes.

Poverty is not just about income it’s about what is done with the money. Accommodation, nutrition and education should of course be priorities, rather then spending a fortune on fancy flat-screen TVs, designer pit bull dogs,
cigarettes and alcohol. And this is stellar advice relevant for every level of income. But going back to the ‘stale bread’ comment, learning how to cook can make a big difference to a budget and a person’s health. And cooking fresh food doesn’t have to be a challenge or terribly expensive with a little bit of know-how. So rather than stocking up on expensive convenience food and microwave dinners, maybe it’s an idea to invest in a good basic cookbook and a little bit of enthusiasm in the kitchen. And by the way, stale bread as it happens, is the best ingredient for toast, tasty soup croutons and of course here in Andalucía, the totally inexpensive and delicious salmorejo dish!

Loan deal to pay for new meters THE European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Spanish electric utility company Iberdrola have signed a loan contract for €200 million. The loan will support the modernisation of the electricity distribution network throughout Spain, improving its overall reliability and safety, they claim. The loan will co-finance a comprehensive investment programme designed to reinforce and modernise Iberdrola’s electricity distribution network. A large number of supply points in the full range of voltages operated by Iberdrola will be connected to the existing network. Furthermore, the programme will help pay for the installation of new digital electricity meters to meet Spanish legislation, which requires the deployment of digital meters for residential customers by 2018. The investment programme provides for the installation of up to 1.8 million new meters. The EIB has a long-standing relationship with Iberdrola, one of the largest power distribution companies in Spain, serving 10.7 million customers. The EIB has provided a total of €3.6 billion for projects in Spain since the beginning of the year, of which almost €1 billion is in the Spanish energy sector.

Leaving the country in search of work
ONO is to take on Europe
MORE and more of Spain’s young are leaving the country in search of work. The numbers of Spaniards under the age of 30 emigrating has gone up by 40.9 per cent since the economic crisis first hit Spain in 2008, according to the National Statistics Institute (INE). And the number of people in the 30 to 34 year age group has risen by 41.4 per cent. In total 14,084 of the 59,724 Spaniards who left the country in 2012 were aged between 20 and 34. But that figure is dwarfed by the numbers of non-Spaniards who moved away. In total 476,748 people left Spain. That is because many
SPANISH cable TV, phone and internet provider ONO will represent the country in the European business awards. It has been chosen to compete in the Millcom Award for Environmental and Corporate Sustainability category. It claims to have robust environmental policies based on saving energy and thus reducing CO2 emissions. The awards, held every two years, will be judged in April 2014. Despite the economic climate ONO is still growing. Sales were up 4.1 per cent in the first quarter of the year.
FORCED ABROAD: Looking for work. immigrants who moved here during good times have been unable to find jobs, and are deciding to move back to their home countries. Unemployment stands at 26.26 per cent with 55.13 per cent of under25s jobless. There are fears that a ‘brain drain’ effect might be taking place. A UGT trade union
report stated that more educated and well trained people are leaving. Top destination is Germany, which received 21,000 Spaniards in 2012. Other popular countries are the UK and France. In South America, Ecuador followed by Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil and Peru are all popular.

Shoppers need to look out for more than the bargains WHILE with my family shopping in the Chinese shop on the road from Quesada to Benijofar, I was approached by five men of either Russian or East European origin. All were tall, in their 30s, and one asked for help reaching some goods. I then realised a man behind had opened my bag and removed my purse. Though aged 70, I gave chase and got it back, and other family members then gave chase as the would-be thieves made their escape in a silver Volkswagen Passat. I was not the only person in the shop to be robbed. The shop staff - although they had it on CCTV - did not even call the police. All shoppers should be aware. Olga Clifton, by email
No warning signs I READ with interest ‘Signs needed over crime threat’ (Letters Issue 1469). I was subjected to a major theft of my bag, losing passports, driver’s licence, credit cards, keys, and money while shopping in the Mercadona supermarket in the central commercial centre, La Marina, Finestrat. Only due to my insistence were the police called, and the shop did not even take my details, acting as though it was normal for thefts, though there were no warning signs in the area. John Cook, Benidorm
Time for action I AGREE with Allen Everington (Letters Issue 1469) that it is about time something was done about the misuse of parking bays for the disabled. The police should carry clamps in their cars and as they also patrol on foot, should also have nearby access to them so that any vehicle not displaying a ‘Disabled’ sticker is automatically clamped and the owner fined when they go to get the clamp removed. Once put into effect people would stop wrongly parking in these bays. At the Javea Arenal Beach car park about 10 days ago, a motor-cycle policeman stopped to check my blue badge when I was sitting in my car, but a van with hazard lights flashing being unloaded by an able-bodied man parked in two disabled spots was ignored.

Anti-Catholic?
www.euroweeklynews.com
Why is this? Also four days ago on the Javea Arenal service road, a motor-cycle policeman asked about my badge which was on my windscreen - just as I got back into my car. So I think Javea are now starting to really check on this. Let’s hope others will also follow suit. Mick Scarles, Javea, Alicante
Lack of service DAYS after reading ‘Passport help’ (Letters, Issue 1469) praising a company for acting professionally, I found myself visiting Puerto Banus, Marbella, on a shopping trip. While I expect to pay a higher price in such surrounds, it would be nice if good service came with the price... and it definitely did not at the port-side café where my wife and I sat to enjoy a drink and watch the world go by. Having ordered an American coffee and a coke, the waiter returned and did not even bother to pour the coke
I ALWAYS look forward to reading the EWN when on holiday in Spain; however, on many occasions I come away with the impression of an antiCatholic agenda from some contributors. One recent article amounted essentially to a pro-abortion rant, attacking Catholic teaching on this subject. In reality, the Catholic Church quite reasonably supports the scientific fact that a newly-conceived child in the womb is a unique individual with a unique DNA, which will be retained throughout its life (assuming it is lucky enough to escape the none too tender mercies of the abortionist, back street or high street). I come from Ireland, a country which until recently (although that is about to change, thanks to the abortion lobby and a campaigning/ biased media) disallowed abortion. Incidentally, the so-called Catholic ‘dark ages’ (a favourite cliché of the historically ignorant) were a period of unprecedented human achievement; Oxford and Cambridge Universities being two notable high points.
The rot set in in the 16th century, about the time of the Protestant Reformation! Eric Conway, La Mata, Torrevieja Editor’s note: The EWN is not anti-Catholic and the various views expressed and opinions published are not necessarily those of the publishers or staff.
Woeful Africa IT is said that the ruination of Africa is charity. I am inclined to agree. Explain to me the Save the Children campaigns of which there are many. Am I wrong in thinking they create more children who go on to create more children and so on? The problem gets worse as most of the areas that they live in can’t support their needs and they are in constant need of food aid so they become aid reliant, not unlike some areas of the UK. And to add to that we have to save their animals, too - lions, rhinos donkeys, etc - thus they become benefit reliant. The point of this message is who benefits most? The charity business, the monster behind all these good deeds. Still one good thing comes from all this, we will never run out of lookylooky men. C G, by email
Good hunting WITH reference to ‘Car concern’ (Letters Issue 1467) I know of people who have had their vehicle classifications changed in the log book by dealers. In the one case, this was done for a charge of €75, so check this out, and good hunting! Also, thanks a lot for a very good newspaper. Bob, Sedella, Malaga
Go on, complain! I WANT to comment on the ‘Stop complaining letter’ (Issue 1468). It is a pity Clive Graham gets annoyed when he hears people complaining about Spain. People have a right to complain not only about Spain but England also. I was advised to come here on health grounds. I also survived the Second World War and its aftermath and was in a Cromwell tank. If people want to complain let them do so, for believe me they have plenty to complain about. Hal Rockliffe Address withheld upon request

Democracy at work restoring the credibility of politicians

considers himself something of an atheist, but he is nevertheless a man born of pure Jewish stock. Therefore, to my mind his decision to vote against attacking a Muslim country, which is utterly anti-Jewish and would side with Iran in its quest to obliterate Israel at the drop of a turban, also gives quite a boost to his own credibility. It did get me thinking that if the leader of the Labour party had been a Muslim (which I’ve no doubt they will be one day!) and Israel had been suspected of committing some unacceptable act, would that person have reacted with such an unbiased opinion? Somehow I think not. Having said all that, despite this week’s decision to stay out, should Assad take it as a weakening attitude by the West and its allies, and therefore give him carte blanche to massacre and commit atrocities at will, I am fully in favour of another parliamentary vote on the situation. With that may come on him and his cohorts all the force and retribution of a reversed decision. Let’s hope it never comes to that. Keep the faith Love Leapy Website: leapylee.co.uk.

WELL, what a result! Firstly, of course, I was delighted to see the British House of Commons finally took Leapy’s advice and voted against interference in Syria’s problems. (Any time, fellas!) Secondly, the result was a wonderfull example of British democracy in full glorious flow. In most countries, particularly those of the Middle East, a result of this nature would have probably led to disgruntled losers rioting and spilling blood in the streets. Far from being an embarrassing rout for David Cameron, I think the dignified and immediate acceptance of a result he clearly hadn’t been looking for, showed a strong, highly democratic leader bending, without recrimination or derogatory reactions, to the will of Parliament’s EAPY EE elected members.

Call for independence Wikipedia_Martorell45
THE Diada on September 11 commemorates the defeat of Catalan troops during the War of Succession in 1714. Cataluña backed the Hapsburg claimant to the Spanish throne instead of the Borbon Felipe V and it was a long time before the region regained the autonomy lost then. The date is engraved on Catalan hearts and resentment is not entirely diluted. Artur Mas, president of Cataluña’s regional government, supports but is not participating in this Cassandra Nash year’s human chain calling for independence on September 11. and not entirely impartial reaction – Repeating last year’s Diada it to the Spanish political scene will stretch 400 kilometres north to south through Cataluña, and hundreds of thousands have already ARTUR MAS: Failing to get message. signed up to join in.

something in an audible voice but he is failing to get the message.
Sitting tight THE PSOE opposition accuses Rajoy of deliberately absenting himself on international visits to avoid parliamentary explanations. True, there is much that the population would like to hear and much for Rajoy to avoid saying. But there is no point in his addressing the parliament again because he has said all he’s going to say about Barcenas and he will not reveal anything new. What he does have to say will be obliquely expressed by a Cabinet reshuffle.
Salutary experience MANY decades after the demise of fascist governments in Spain, Italy and Germany, the Roman salute is still not a pleasant sight. Images of Xesco Saez and Daniel Terrades giving the nazi salute could be dismissed as laddish horseplay.
Saez is president of the PP’s Nuevas Generaciones (NNGG) – think Young Cons – in Jativa (Valencia). Terrades is NNGG secretary general in neighbouring Gandia. Others, like a young PP councillor from nearby Canals, Carmen Melissa Ferrer, have posed with the pre-Constitution flag bearing the Franco-era shield. Probably they have ultra-conservative political leanings but little first hand knowledge of what they are acclaiming. They should ask their grandparents and great-grandparents who knew what it was all about, regardless of ideology. Then there would be fewer nazi salutes.
Kingdom comedown SPAIN is now officially Spain and not the Kingdom of Spain. Nevertheless, the latter will be retained “in international treaties requiring a greater solemnity,” said Foreign minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo. So the modification is likely to go unnoticed except by treaty-writers, typesetters, typists and Juan Carlos I.

Certainly sounds like no fun THE Japanese Geisha facial treatment Uguisu no fun, consisting of Nightingale faeces certainly sounds like no fun to us, but despite the origin of the treatment its popularity is evergrowing in the western world. The treatment is said to hydrate the skin, making it feel softer and look brighter. High-end Japanese spas around the world regularly offer the faeces facial, but at a cost. The Shizuka spa in New York charges €136 for the privilege and the substance can also be purchased online but costs an average of €15 per ounce. For those worried about the smell, users on online forums have described a medicinal or musty smell and some say it doesn’t smell at all. The nightingale droppings also come from specific farms in Japan where they breed and raise birds and keep them on a very strict diet of organic seeds. The droppings are collected and sterilised with UV lights, before being dried out and ground into powder form.

Shop in high-heels SHOPPING in stilettos could help shoppers spend more wisely, according to research from the Brigham Young University in the US. Marketing professor at the university, Jeffrey Larson claims when consumers’ minds are focused on staying balanced, they are more likely to consider all of their buying options and choose a mid-range product, as opposed to something high-end or of low quality. In order to examine the effect of physical balance in relation to the nature of consumer shopping, the
team tested various scenarios including having subjects stand on one foot while making a decision about a purchase or leaning back to a reclined position in a chair while
shopping online. The study found subjects focused on balancing were more likely to buy a mid range item as opposed to a bigger, more expensive or smaller, cheaper one.

THE wish list of the so-called ‘Peru Two,’ Michaella McCollum Connolly and Melissa Reid, detained in a Lima jail on trafficking charges, reads more like the stuff you might pack for a late summer getaway. It ranged from baby oil, hair removal cream, Nivea moisturiser and a pack of cards to a sports bra size 32FF, toilet roll, envelopes and stamps. For food, they also opted for relative luxuries (Pringles, Nutella, oat and honey bars and Oreos) rather than more down-to-earth necessities like bottled water or long-life milk. Now, whatever your opinion of the pair and the relative merits of their story (which sounds a bit like the plot of the next Guy Ritchie movie to me), their wish list got me thinking. About the sort of luxuries (or essentials, depending upon your point of view) the rest of us would choose in, God forbid, similar circumstances in Peru or, God willing, as a guest on Desert Island Discs in the UK. Guests on this 70-year-old BBC radio show can request one luxury, which can’t be a human being. (John Cleese, though, was allowed to take Michael Palin, on condition he was dead and stuffed!) Luxuries requested have ranged from the musical (guitar, Tony Blair and Colin Firth; organ, Jo Brand) to food (French mustard, Boris Johnson; wheat-free bread, Terence

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) The changes that have already started in the way that you see your life have given pause for thought. You are sure that you could have done better but maybe it is not clear how. Take a step back now and see where you came from. Two years ago where were you heading? Do you still want to follow that path? A need to get back on track can start this week. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It becomes clear to you that some friends are drifting away. We all have to make changes as life itself is a constantly shifting event. You prefer to hold on to what is familiar and you are not alone in that. At the moment, however, there is much for you to experience, see and feel. Sometimes this brings you discomfort and sometimes unimaginable joy. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) With a lot of pent-up energy and not a little determination the month is off to a strong start with you. Be aware, however, that treading on the toes of influential people is not to be advised. Your feeling that you are right is admirable, but be tactful. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) You of all people understand the importance of the spiritual side of life. Despite being successful in your own right there is the need to bring this to other people. In sharing your experiences this year you come to a better understanding yourself. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your practical streak is in full force. Over the next months you will bring much benefit to those around you, in financial terms perhaps, but also spiritually. This week, in itself, shows you how others value your presence and advice. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Your lot is to be optimistic and positive. Perhaps in the last few months there was the need to take on the problems of others. However, you absolutely must get a balance here. Concentrate this week on getting your body and mind in good shape. That means being a little self-centred to start with. A good routine is essential and the will to stick with it.

IF ITʼS YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK: There may still be an element of letting opportunities slip through your fingers. Is this because you are not used to making that really intense effort? You aren’t called upon to do it often, but this time it is well worth it.
September 5: Rose McGowan, 40. American actress who starred in TV supernatural drama series Charmed. September 6: Roger Waters, 70. Bass player and frontman of English rock band Pink Floyd. September 7: Gloria Gaynor, 64. American disco and soul singer who recorded I Will Survive in 1979.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Your very nature can lead to internal struggles. In the coming months, however, the truth becomes clear. What is outside of your experience now will become a part of your make-up. Any fear that you had of the unknown gradually diminishes. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) There has been a very strong feeling through these last few weeks. This feeling has been one of spirituality. Your thoughts have been deeper than usual and the sense that there is more to life is acute. This, therefore, gives an impetus to everything that you do this week. The need to progress both on the home and business front has rarely been stronger.
Your Stars
September 8: Martin Freeman, 42. Science-fiction actor who played Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit.
Jesus Vazquez is a Spanish TV presenter. He started his career at age 25 in Spanish TV channel Telecinco and has been linked to it ever since. He is known for hosting the Spanish version of The Voice and his charity work. He released an album in 1993, but never resumed his musical career.
48
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) In the last few weeks there may have been a sense of being not quite in control. That is something to deal with this week. Real progress will only be made when you have faced what is not wanted. You will rid yourself of any negative emotions quickly by facing them. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) You are a great charmer but it is possible to have too much of a good thing. Is there the possibility that your romantic life needs tidying up? Perhaps the number of irons that you have in the fire is causing problems? This week, make it a priority to simplify your life. Be strong and straight with others. A clean slate for the future means not letting small matters run away with you.
September 10: Colin Firth, 53. English film, television and theatre actor, winner of two Academy Awards. September 11: Moby, 48. American electronic musician and descendent of Moby Dick author, Herman Melville. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) The ever-inquisitive part of your brain is in high spirits. Clearly there is much to be known and enjoyed over the coming months. Begin at the beginning though. Before you throw yourself into a spiritual or business endeavour, get the facts. I don't mean what people tell you they think. What you need right now is proof that your interest in a certain area is justified. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Certainly there have been times that you felt crestfallen. Sometimes circumstances bring us down. Avoid believing in the myth of ʻwhat should have beenʼ. What you are is not what others see but what you feel inside. Success does not depend upon your bank balance but rather more your spiritual progress.

Nigel James has been a regular visitor to the Costa del Sol for over 20 years and has a property in Elviria. The location is the perfect backdrop for his new thriller, The Marbella Project, about a father’s quest for revenge when his son is brutally murdered in Puerto Banus by the Russian mafia. Dan Green is no ordinary father. He is a former officer in
the SAS and recruits a former colleague to help him bring down the organisation which the Spanish police seem powerless to stop. Dan vows to bring down the family which controls organised crime on the coast. The bullets fly and the body count rises in this high octane thriller in which many of the locations will be familiar to anyone who knows the area.

Lack of jobs - not spirit - to blame! Do you feel that many of the young who are out of work in Spain lack the true grit to get jobs, as indicated for their counterparts in a UK-based report?
F
INDING work for the young is a tough challenge in Spain, and though some jobless are not as hungry as they might be to find employment, the economic situation is making life very difficult for them, according to many expatriates. Meanwhile, a UK government minister has revealed that almost half of Britain’s jobless aged 1624 are not seeking work and are classed as economically inactive. Katherine Pate and Patricia Johnston, two retirees who now work as charity shop volunteers in Arroyo de la Miel on the Costa del Sol, feel that rather than showing true grit, the current working climate in Spain makes finding work a struggle for young people. “I think it’s very difficult for young people in Spain, according to what you hear in the news,” said Katherine. “A lot of the young ones don’t have any money and the parents don’t have any money. That’s why a lot of them go to England to find jobs.”
AMY REALEY: Students are graduating, yet struggling to find work. Patricia agrees. “I think young people find it very difficult to find jobs. I think the government could do a bit more to get them out working, even volunteering, anything to gain experience.” Amy Realey, a 20-year-old student nurse from the UK on holiday in Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca, says finding work is difficult for young people everywhere as there “is not much work out there, anywhere. Some friends have finished university
KATHERINE PATE and PATRICIA JOHNSTON: Young should have more help to gain experience.
STREET TALK but can’t get work within their degree subjects so work in bars, etc.” Amy’s mother Alison agrees: “I’m not sure what the situation is
KATIE FORREST: The economic crisis is the problem in Spain, not the attitude of the young. like with Spanish youngsters, but I wouldn’t want to be starting out again. People are studying hard yet having to take menial jobs.” Katie Forrest who lives on the Costa del Sol blames the economic crisis - not the lack of grit among youngsters - for high enemployment. “I think they’re trying to get work but there’s nothing. The crisis has hit Spain worse than anywhere else, shops are closing, people are taking things out of bins, and it’s awful.”
Matt Taylor, a roofer from the Scottish borders visiting his holiday home in Formentera del Segura in Costa Blanca believes young people in Spain are more likely to go out and find work. “Youngsters here are different, they seem better behaved and more family orientated and if they get a job hold it and work hard.” But John Poole who runs a kitchen fitting business on the Costa Blanca disagrees, saying the general attitude towards work is not what it used to be. “Kids these days are too distracted by computers and television. They seem to think work will just fall on their laps. In my day you had to work and work hard to survive. There is always work if you work hard enough to find it.” And Roy Groves of Torre in Almeria feels although things are tough, in the main those that really want to work can find jobs. “Some Spanish I know have taken unpaid jobs just to get work experience.”

As well as the traditional offerings of prawn cocktail and soup, there is an eclectic and exotic selection from cajun chicken salad with a chilli mango drizzle; spicy Italian meatballs; fillet of beef carpaccio and spicy Thai fish cakes with a citrus mayonnaise. Twelve main courses are available with the only complaint being there is a little too much choice with each one making the mouth water. For the meat lovers try the confit of duck and roasted silverside of beef, it will not disappoint. For those looking for lighter options there is salmon or why not try one of the new, freshly prepared to order salads including Thai beef, Mexican or, for a small additional supplement,
there is even a full lobster salad. Desserts are as delicious as the previous two courses and will delight anyone with a sweet tooth and if all that food leaves you feeling a little full, then you can take full advantage of their location and walk it
off with a stroll along Torrevieja’s seafront. So whether you are looking for an evening out or Sunday lunch with a difference, reserve your table at Restaurante Christopher today by calling 600 012 824 or 965 710 007.

Hot chocolate benefits elderly AN apple a day may keep the doctor away, but so too could hot chocolate. According to a study carried out at the Harvard Medical School in Boston drinking two cups of hot chocolate a day may benefit older people. Hot chocolate is said to have improved the blood flow of those who participated in the study, thus improving their thinking skills.
TWO CUPS: Can keep the doctor away. The research involved 60 people who had two cups of cocoa per day for 30 days. The participants, with an average age of more than 70 years, did not consume any other chocolate during this time. A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) test carried out on some of the participants proved having two cups of hot chocolate a day improved the blood flow to the working areas
of their brains. As these improvements were located in the brain, participants showed better performance on tests to assess their mental skills. Although researchers claim a further study is needed to prove a direct link between cocoa and cognitive improvements, we might start telling our friends and relatives that two cups of hot chocolate a day keep the doctor away.

Rottweiler health problems YES, dogs get cataracts the same way people do. Cataracts are the most common, treatable form of blindness in dogs and the most commonly reported eye disease in Rottweilers. Cataracts usually develop when the dog is about 18 months old; however, it’s not unusual for cataracts to wait until the dog reaches its fourth, fifth or even sixth birthday to make an appearance.

Start to prepare the garden for Christmas
O
NE of the joys of having a property in Spain is the pleasure of experiencing a colourful garden at Christmas. A garden that motivates you to sit out and enjoy the winter sun and perhaps also to work on the garden in conditions that are often more like spring than the middle of winter, even if you need to wear a light jumper. There are five main things to be done, starting now, to ensure you achieve this. Yes, September is not too early for plans and actions.
www.euroweeklynews.com
1. Resist doing the major annual garden cut back in the autumn as you would have done in Northern Europe. The cut back is best done during the months of January and February. 2. Throughout the autumn aim to prolong the flowering of existing perennials and shrubs by continuously deadheading as soon as flowers die. Also cut back unsightly branches to stimulate new flowering shoots. If autumn is dry continue to water. 3. Stimulate the early flowering of shrubs and trees that often do not flower until early to mid January. The three main

TASKS: September is not too early for plans of action. requirements are to plant selected plants in south facing beds sheltered from cold winds, to keep the plants watered and to feed with a high potassium feed. Shelter can be provided by walls, glass screens, hedges or fences. 4. If your garden is not already fully planted plant some of the shrubs and trees listed below during October and November. 5. Purchase a selection of plants in flower just before Christmas. These can be for any areas of the garden. Listed below are some of the garden plants that can be in flower at Christmas. Xmas flowering trees THE most reliable late flowering trees are: The strawberry tree (arbutus unedo) which has bright red fruits to brighten a corner of the garden. The fruits are edible but we
prefer to leave them as a winter treat for wild birds. The galan de noche that might be persuaded to pump out its heavy perfume on Christmas eve. Of the early flowering trees the delebeta and bon accuel varieties of mimosa are spectacular with their branches covered in yellow flowers. Another tree to plant this autumn, or next spring for the following Christmas, is the justice tree which can be covered with large bunches of attractive white flowers throughout December. Shrubs Lantanas are reliable in most gardens and also hibiscus in warmer spots. Likewise roses if they have been deadheaded, watered and fed during the autumn. In a warm corner poinsettias up to two metres in height can be the
perfect replacement for a garden Christmas tree. Climbing Shrubs Bougainvilleas, bignonias, blue and white solanums and the perfumed white and yellow varieties of jasmines can produce some of the most spectacular year end displays. If you are lucky both the blue and white plumbago can also be in flower although not at there best. During the autumn ensure you trim to shape. Perennials The frutescens and coronarium chrysanthemums and euryops daisy give reliable colour in many gardens. If you are very lucky a few margeritas may still be in flower. Succulents Several succulents can come into flower around Xmas, notably the red hot poker aloes and aeoniums with their bright yellow
5 - 11 September 2013 www.euroweeklynews.com spires of flowers and various Xmas cacti. Winter annuals The most reliable for colourful displays are the seasonal pansies, busy lizzies, stocks, wallflowers and also petunias which are now available almost all the year round. If the autumn has been warm and wet you may be lucky to have self seeded nasturtiums brightening up the front of beds and cascading over walls. Also colourful portulacas can often be coaxed to flower through to the New Year. Although strictly a perennial, forced primulas are often best treated as annuals and purchased each autumn. Christmas bulbs Our favourites include pots of
specimen amaryllis and hyacinths, and in warm corners of rockeries anenomies, crocuses, miniature daffodils and freesias. These bulbs need to be planted up during the next month. Naturally you can also wait until December and buy pots of bulbs just coming into flower. Ensure that bulbs in pots and in the garden are kept damp. We hope these ideas will lead to more colourful gardens at the year end and heavy frosts don’t come until January or February. Š Dick Handscombe www.gardenspain.com September 2013

And the original S-Max profile has been honed with the front bonnet sweeping into the front screen, which in turn flows into the arc of the roof to create a unique glass roof graphic. This silhouette surrounds a spacious and versatile interior that offers anything from four- to seven-seat configurations. Further exterior design cues include a feature line running along the side of the vehicle and distinctive
headlamps featuring Organic LED. The S-Max Concept interior is an expression of design, convenience, connectivity, flexibility, and craftsmanship say the manufacturers. The front cabin places the focus firmly on the driver. Shapes and forms combine in a high-set instrument panel that cuts back in the centre console. High quality materials give the interior a sophisticated aura, Ford claims. The Ford S-Max Concept also employs Ford features
and technologies to provide customers with new levels of connectivity and well-being as well as safety, convenience, and driving appeal. The concept car features the all-new 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol engine with turbocharging, twinindependent variable camshaft timing and further advanced technologies to enhance power and fuel economy. The Ford SYNC system sits at the heart of the vehicle’s advanced connectivity features.

€20 million Ferrari record
A RARE Ferrari convertible has become the most expensive car sold at auction in the United States. The 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 S NART Spyder was sold for $27.5 million (€20.7 million) in the Classic Car show at Pebble Beach, California. The NART Spyder belonged to Eddie Smith, a member of the North American Racing Team, which the car was named after. The car is said to have been kept mint in a special garage since Smith died in 2007, aged 88. The Smith family decided to auction the car and Canadian fashion entrepreneur Lawrence Stroll paid the record figure. Stroll, who reportedly owns more than 20 other Ferraris, has also contributed to a good cause as the Smith family will donate the funds to charity. The legendary Fangio Mercedes-Benz W196, sold for £19 million (€22 million) at the UK’s Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this summer, still holds the record as the world’s most expensive car.

Time to gel as a team ELCHE players have the chance to work on gelling as a team now the international break has arrived. They do not play again until September 16 when they take on Real Valladolid (kick off 8pm) at home. That will give their new players time to get to know their team mates after the first three games of the season garnered two points. In their last match they secured a 2-2 draw in a late, late show away to Almeria. First of all they did not kick-off until 11pm, then they had to wait until the fifth minute of injury time before new striker Richmond Boakye, on loan from Juventus, put the ball in the net to claim a valuable away point. Almeria had taken an early ninth minute lead through Fernando Soriano but Edu Albacar levelled with a penalty after a handball from Sebastian Dubarbier on 32 minutes. Almeria got a penalty of their own following another handball, this time from Cristian Sapunaru. Antonio Verza converted on the stroke of half time. By snatching the late goal and a point means Elche will have made the trip back home reasonably happy.

Members golfers manage to stay dry MANY would have got out of bed, looked outside and seen that it had been raining and in most areas still was raining and maybe wondering if we were in for a wet round of golf. However, the rain in Spain did fall on the plain but not on the golf course at Villamartin, which was The Members’ Golf Society’s venue for the day. There were some nice scores entered. George Smith won the Silver Division
with 39 points and a long way back in second place was Kate Helm (33) with Andy Skinner and Peter Mason claiming third and fourth places with 32 points. The Gold Division scores were a bit tighter and it was Janet Mason who took home the top prize with 38 points, pushing Steve Higgins (37) into second. Third place was taken by Richard Wale (36) and in fourth was Paula
A GOOD number of members and guests turned out for Fairwayz, to play at Alenda golf. The course was in superb condition, only the damp on the ground and the rain that came later held up the run of the ball. The rain turned into a downpour soaking the players. Some good and bad scores were posted in the Gold Category, Alex Duchart (37 points) was first with Bob McShane (31) second. Best front nine prize was taken by Steve Hamilton with Steve Ashurst scoring the best back nine. Nearest the pin was Dave Harwood and nearest the pin in two was Alex Duchart. In the Silver Category Dave Titchen (33) was first followed by Tony Macmillan (28). Best front nine winner was Bill Howie with Phil Bowditch having the best back nine. Nearest the pin was Stuart Taylor with Graham Butterworth nearest in two. Two ball winners were Dave Harwood, Colin Pepperday and Alex Duchart.
Solid performance for Montesinos against Santa Pola CD MONTESINOS played their fifth pre season match against a Bahia Santa Pola side who gained promotion at the end of last season, to the 1st Regional Division, one higher than Monte. The only sour point was the injury picked up by new signing
David, who went off holding his hamstring. It was a decent performance by Monte against a good footballing side. Manager Juanpe tried out a new goalkeeper in Roberto and he pulled off a couple of good stops and looked comfortable.
There were many good, solid performances:- Dimitry as ever very competitive; new keeper Roberto; the youngster Manuel at the back was very solid; and Edu up front was full of running. But chances were few and far between and although Santa Pola
looked the better of the two sides, a draw was a fair reflection of play. Monte have a couple of days break with their next and final pre season match being the official presentation of the players to the fans. That takes place on
Saturday, with a 7pm kick off. For full match report and additional information about CD Montesinos and their International Supporters club, The Full Monte, take a look at the club’s website at www.cdmontesinos.com or email thefullmonte2011@hotmail.com.

www.euroweeklynews.com BIGGEST story of the summer transfer market in world football was undoubtedly the signing of Gareth Bale by Real Madrid in a €100 million deal. But the big question on many people’s lips is where do they get the money from? At a time when Spain is still struggling in the depths of economic gloom, unemployment stands at 26.3 per cent and millions of people are struggling after deep government spending cutbacks the message sent is clear: Real Madrid does not do austerity. But the headline figure of Bale’s €100 million cost, plus €300,000 a week wages for six years
Figures that add up to a Bale full of money for Madrid
does not tell the full story. The sale of Mesut Ozil to Arsenal on the same day immediately recouped €50 million of the outlay, and got one of the club’s biggest earners off the books. In fact, whilst Madrid have paid out a total of €163.5 million on players including Malaga’s young star

Isco (€30 million) and Asier Illarramendi (also €30 million) from Real
Sociedad, they have received €114.5 million from player sales. Gonzalo Higuain’s move to Napoli raked in €37 million, and whilst Brazilian star Kaka has gone for nothing to AC Milan, he is another big earner off the books. Whilst Madrid’s net outlay over the summer has been a still respectable €51 million, it is very much manageable for the richest club in the world. That is the mantle it has taken over from Manchester United. Figures in August
showed annual revenues for Madrid passed the €500 million mark, the first time any club has achieved that. The latest Deloitte Money League report calculated that Madrid had seen a rise of 11 per cent in revenues to €512.6 million. Since those figures were collated, Madrid have signed a new shirt sponsorship deal worth 30 per cent more at €30 million a year. With figures like that it becomes clear how Madrid can afford a player for €100 million, though whether any player is worth that amount is a question many people on the street may wonder about.
What could €100 million pay for?
