Info & Announcements

Dear Readers

When I said a drop of rain last week I had no idea it was going to last a full week! As many of you will know it is quite unusual here to see more than a couple of days of rain and clouds, so to get it for a whole week was not on the cards. For those unfortunate holiday makers and beach lovers the Costa Blanca was not a "Hot Spot" but more of a "Wash Out". There are always some benefits to the bad weather and that is again in the favour of the bar owners and shop owners as getting inside when the clouds open is normally the first place you will see. The hundreds of bars here get even more packed out, as people get settled in for the day to enjoy the company of others, together with live music and live sports on TV. For me a walk in the rain with my dog under the grey clouds was a welcome change and a little bit of fun. Dodging the puddles and getting muddy is a rare event for us living here. I believe the worst is over now and although the weather forecast has showers predicted up until Thursday, the most of us will see plenty of sunshine with temperatures reaching the high 20's. October has really crept up on me and has arrived almost without warning except with the weather being a tale tale sign. It is now exactly 12 weeks to Christmas Eve so now it is a great time to start making the list and do a little shopping. A little purchase there and there will soften the blow. There are some great gift ideas around the shops. My suggestion is a trip to the indoor market in Benidorm where you will find many great gift ideas and loads of stocking fillers. Fiestas are also here with us again as Altea has just had their wettest Moors and Christian’s event seen in years and now to be followed this next weekend with the Benidorm Moors and Christians. Read inside pages for the full calendar for times and the full schedule. With the famous Benidorm Fiestas in November there is always so much to read each week here in your only local weekly newspaper. The Premier League has seen a

mix of results and now we can start to see our team’s hopes of making a good start being rather grim unless of course you are a City or Chelsea fan! I'm sure there are plenty of upsets and disasters to follow in the coming weeks making the crucial Christmas run in more and more interesting. Please tell us about your favourite sports venue and where to watch the premiership football especially on Saturdays. Here in Spain you will find many bars showing all of the games as well as the 3pm kick offs via the wide range of World Sports Channels available. It is great to share your findings with other football fans who want to find their teams match being televised. E mail or text me your comments on 0034 673 652 340 buzz@vistacostablanca.com It was a great week for Europe wining the Ryder Cup. So for many golf fans a week of relaxing with the telly on. Keeping dry was an ideal solution to pass the time. Fans of F1 will have yet another Grand Prix to watch this weekend but with strange viewing times as the race is live from Japan with a 8am start. So you can enjoy an early breakfast in front of the telly. A great way to start your perfect Sunday. (See our full TV sports listing on page 39). With the recent addition of 8 extra pages the Buzz newspaper includes the only local weekly read with "THE PROPERTY PLUS" helping you to find the latest properties for sale and to rent, together with great advice and information. And don't forget to come along to visit us in the indoor market in Benidorm. It is a great place to browse the many shops, you can eat and drink with a selection of cafe bars and you can pick up your FREE VISTA CARD to get hundreds of local savings and rewards. There are more and more VISTA CARD offers and discounts available with new business owners joining with us each week.

LEVI'S SHOWBOAT ROCKED YET ANOTHER RECORD FOR CHARITY FROM FRONT PAGE The new record was made on Sunday 28th October at Levis Showboat Entertainment Venue in Benidorm. Local charity group headed by Tad Dawson, the very well known local business man from the famous "Yorkshire Pride Pub Chain," who has in recent years joined forces with the owner of the Levis Showboat Mr Wayne Levi, to present a spectacular fund raising event in favour of the very worthwhile cause for the local charity "Children of EMAUS". The event was organised specifically for the purpose of raising money for the Relleu children’s home. Tad has worked hard over the many years together with Anne and Pam, who are the two people behind the day to day organisation of the fund raising and the allocation of the funds. Anne and Pam make sure that every single penny goes directly to the children's home and determine the priorities of the allocation of the funds raised. This work is extremely difficult dealing with all of the issues that the home is faced with on a regular basis. The serious situation includes the problems of not having money for paying the utility bills and even to provide the children with the most basic items of food, nappies and other day to day essentials. Anne and Pam are the presidents of the EMAUS charity and have made continuous efforts throughout the years to raise money for this heartbreaking local charity, but of course they rely solely on charity events and donations from local businesses and residents. Levi's Showboat has now been the venue for an amazing fund raising afternoon of spectacular entertainment for the last two years. An amazing record total of 11,500€ was raised (an increase of just over 1,000€ on last year that was also a record year).. Tad told me "It really was worth the hard work and organising because not only was it great fun for all of the people who came but a record of 11,170€ was raised that increased by 300€ when I told Anne and Pam the total they personally donated a further 330€".

EL CISNE CHARITY FAIR With the weather being a rare threat to any outside events in the Costa Blanca this last weekend. It was a different story, at El Cisne Charity Fair. I was pleased to see the sun breaking through around mid-morning after having seen the dark grey clouds hanging over the coast since day break. Many stall holders and the organisers of the Charity Fair had to pack up their goods and props to avoid damage, not knowing if the event would actually get underway. The smiles were soon to be gleaming and bright as the sun before midday was just in time for the arrival of the Mayor Augustin Navvaro and the British Consulate Mr Paul Rodwell. The event organised by The Royal British Legion was supported by many local businesses and charities who turned up to display themselves with the aim of raising money for the many worthwhile charities. The Mayor addressed the public to welcome everyone and to offer thanks to the organisers, Mr Paul Rodwell (British Consulate) also extended his gratitude to Pamela DawsonTasker (RBL) for the hard work and organisation of the event as well as thanking all of the very worthy charities and supporters who came to set up their stalls to raise money. Pamela went on to finish the speeches on the behalf of the team from the Royal British Legion saying how proud she was of the people who had such a difficult task keeping going during the heavy down pours during the morning whilst setting up.

did a magnificent job of attracting some of the best local entertainers to perform; big names from the areas many entertainment venues who gave up their Sunday afternoon to perform. Meatloaf, Take That, Adele, Girls Aloud, Stand & Deliver, comedian Gary George, Miss Stella Artois and of course, Levi´s Dream girls. Tad was helped on the day by Katie a very well known "Prop" from the area and Paul owner of Foleys Bar in the Rincon. Selling the raffle tickets is always a major task as getting around to see all of the guests is very time consuming and without their help impossible for just one man! Many people came along for the day enjoying a S u n d a y lunch in the famous "Mary Rose" restaurant, it was an event for the whole family with something for everyone. All of the prizes were donated and there were so many happy winners and every ticket available was sold. Donations and prizes came in from local businesses, Ex Pats, Food 4, Europe Foods, The Buying Group, Benidorm Palace, The Wooky Hollow, The Shamrock Bar, The Black Chicken Bar, Yorkshire Pride Pubs, Levi's Show boat and many more. Personal donations were also received ranging from 100€ 1000€. A few names to mention with thanks are to Paul Kelly from the UK Malcolm Green, Ronnie (Buying Group) Alison

(Black Chicken) and both Wayne Levi and Tad Dawson. This event is just one of many that are organised each year by Tad and his helpers along with many other events for many different charities being supported here in the Costa Blanca. The ex pat community and local business owners participate in regular fund raising efforts. This is a true sign that the Brits here in Spain make a massive difference to the much needed local fund raising. SO A MASSIVE BIG THANK YOU FROM TAD, ANNE AND PAM & FROM ALL OF THE SUPPORTERS OF EMAUS CHILDREN'S HOME TO EVERYONE WHO CAME ALONG AND DONATED.

ANOTHER ARREST FOR OPERATION CAPTURA

A SUSPECTED drug trafficker from Walsall who had been on the run for over six years was arrested last Friday (September 26). Armed officers swooped on him last night as he was playing Texas Hold’em poker at Saffy’s sports bar in the port area of Calpe at 7pm Spanish time. He was wanted in connection with a conspiracy to import cocaine and was apprehended on a European Arrest Warrant. Robert Knight, aged 53, was tracked down in a joint operation involving the Spanish National Police, the National Crime

Agency and West Midlands Police, who had been seeking Knight following the seizure of six kilos of cocaine at Heathrow Airport back in April 2008. Five other men were arrested at the time and later jailed for their roles in the crime. Knight, who committed his alleged

Operation Captura, which is a multi-agency campaign between Crimestoppers, the National Crime Agency and the Spanish Police. The NCA and Crimestoppers, the independent UK crime-fighting charity, have been on the hunt for Britain’s most wanted. Details of the ‘unlucky thirteen’ wanted individuals thought to be evading capture in Spain were released last November under the latest appeal of Operation Captura. The successful multiagency campaign identifies serious criminals on the run wanted by UK law enforce-

ment agencies for crimes committed in the UK. Since Operation Captura launched in October 2006, 62 criminals have been arrested, with many now behind bars. Crimestoppers and the NCA work closely with the Foreign & Commonwealth Office in Madrid and with British and Spanish law enforcement agencies. The campaign highlights appeals for information on criminals who have European Arrest Warrants (EAWs) issued against them. Information given to Crimestoppers can help locate these criminals so that arrests can be carried out by the Spanish police. Lord Ashcroft, KCMG PC, Founder and Chair of Crimestoppers, said: Robert Knight has been at large for six years and I am delighted that the collaborative work of the agencies involved in Operation Captura has once again brought success. “Despite our success so far, there are still a number of dangerous criminals who see Spain as a safe haven to hide from their past, but with the support of the Spanish and UK public, we can hunt them out and bring them to justice.” Hank Cole, Head of International Operations for the National Crime Agency, said: “The NCA and its partners have the capability to pursue fugitives relentlessly. Spain is not a safe haven. 62 fugitives have been caught since Captura was launched, and many more linked to other operations. “The exceptional level of collaboration and intelligence sharing with the Spanish authorities has been vital to many of these arrests. The most important thing though is the power of this campaign to harness the eyes and ears of the public, both here and in Spain.”

For those people calling from Spain there is a special freephone Spanish telephone number 900 555 111 This will be answered in the UK by Crimestoppers’ call agents and a translation service is available upon request. People can also pass on information anonymously via the Crimestoppers number 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.

COUNTRY RIBS A TASTE OF MINESSOTA Our visit to Country Ribs in Benidorm was a family affair, not just for us but because the first thing that I noticed was in this American Diner most tables in the restaurant were full of families enjoying the taste of Benidorm's most famous ribs, ranch style chicken, juicy steaks and many more specialities on the menu.

The portion sizes being served around the tables were noticeably very large and therefore I decided a starter was not necessary, I really didn't want to ruin my appetite for the main course. There was lots of choice on the menu choice and offered something for everyone, there’s salads, burgers, steaks and even pizzas, for me it had to be one of the six great COMBOS, the variety is amazing but I had to make a decision so I chose ‘COUNTRY RHAPSODY’ this caught my eye as it included Hungarian Goulash together with a mixture of Chicken, Lamb, Spare Ribs and Pork Kebabs. The metal dish that the food is served in was huge and was filled with the sides of potato wedges and chips along with 4 different sauces or dips, I can honestly say the amount of food in the COMBO was enough for 3 or 4 people. For being meat lovers this combo was perfect, lamb chops were cooked over the BBQ together with the Chicken breast, the spare ribs and kebabs made the display of meat simply incredible not to mention the dish of Hungarian Goulash a strategically positioned in the centre of the display. My guests ordered a variety of other popular meals, grilled chicken, cheese and bacon burger, chicken Caesar salad and the star of the show was the full rack of baby back ribs with a choice of 4 tasty sauces. The size of the rack of ribs simply amazed me it took over the plate, served with the Jack Daniels & Coke sticky BBQ sauce. The meat was falling off the bone and was perfectly cooked complemented with the tangy original JD & Coke sauce and a Smokey but sweet BBQ flavour.

Our bench style table had plenty of space to sit our group of five adults plus the attachment of a high chair to the end of the table that was clamped in place by the very friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant was taken over by families so it was great to see that there was no shortage of high chairs and the mums and dads could enjoy their meals while the smaller ones were also taking part at the table. Country Ribs have been situated in Benidorm for many years and have built up their reputation for the quality of food in a relaxed American style diner, ideal for families with children as well as enjoyed by adult groups out for their party night. Country Ribs also have a beach front restaurant in Albir that offers a great outside ranch style terrace overlooking the promenade with spectacular views across the sea to Calpe. The Weekly Buzz team had an amazing night at Country Ribs Benidorm and have awarded them the Weekly Buzz GOLD STAR RECOMMENDATION. Go along and see for yourself, take the amazing adventure of dining at Country Ribs and tell Pepe and his staff that you have read this in the Weekly Buzz!

Nightlife & Entertainment

MINI GOLF MEDITERRANEO

The mini marina had a selection of remote control boats, there was a kiosk for the change as well as sweets and cold drinks. The business venture went well with the novelty idea of entertainment for the family. Things moved on from there to add baby bummer cars as well as go karts for the adults that was a little surprising as the olive trees made it a bit of a dangerous track and before long the owners Carol and Peter decided a Mini Golf Course would be a much safer idea. So then site was then transformed in 1979 to become a mini golf course and has remained there ever since, unfortunately Peter passed away in 2000 after becoming ill and having been diagnosed with cancer. Christian who then came home from university to work with his mother and has continued to run the family business ever since. Times have changed however and Benidorm now has such a different mix of people from all countries. What hasn't

changed is the 18 hole mini golf course that takes around 45 minutes to an hour to complete. This is an ideal pass time for the whole family and its loads of fun. In recent years the increase of Stag and Hen groups makes the mini golf a great activity that the group can enjoy and even have their very own competitions and rules. Sometimes the groups make it so that they must each taking a drink for each time they put a hole. I suppose there could be all sorts of crazy rules made up with penalties and prizes for the best and worst putter!

Score sheets and pencils are provided for each group to keep track of the playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scores, there are also loads of kiddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rides and arcade games to enjoy. Mini Golf Benidorm is only a couple of minutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; walk from the beach and is easily found on the main Avenida Medditerrano opposite the Carrafour Express.

Whats On

Moors and Christians Benidorm 2014 The battle reenactments take place throughout Spain but primarily in the southern part of the Valencian Community and in Alicante. The most popular Moors and Christians festival takes place in the city of Alcoi, Valencia from the 22-24 April. This date coincides with another popular festival in Valencia and Catalonia known as Saint George’s Day, or Sant Jordi. Legend has it that when James I of Aragon re-conquered the city from the Moors, the Moors were frightened away from re-attacking the city when Saint George appeared before them. This festival commemorates the battles fought between Moors (or Muslims) and Christians during the period known as “Reconquista”. In English, reconquista means reconquest. Eventually, the Moors were defeated by the Christians, ending approximately 800 years of Moorish rule in Spain – from the 7th century until the 15th century. -

WEDNESDAY 1st OCTOBER 23.00: Entrance Parade of the Moors and Christian legions along Calle Paseo Colon, Paseo de la Carretera, Martínez Alejos, Gambo ending in the Plaza de la Hispanidad in front of the castle.

THURSDAY 2nd OCTOBER 22.00: Invasion of the Moors.: The Christians will be waiting waiting on the Playa de Levante opposite Calle Valencia. The Moors will be gathering in the Plaza de Torrechó, beside the town hall, from where they will advance onto the beach for the battle.

FRIDAY 3rd OCTOBER 10.00 Early Morning Parade - Standard bearers , Astures , Cavallers of the Barony and Crusaders ; Nazari , Tuareg and Muslims Tagarins ( Moor King). The parade runs along Calle Paseo Colon, Paseo de la Carretera, Martínez Alejos, Gambo, Plaza de la Hispanidad opposite the Castle. 18.00: BATTLE AND CHRISTIAN EMBASSY, The Moorish Ambassador will ask the Christian troops to surrender the castle. The Christians will refuse and war will be declared, followed by mock battles n the surrounding streets and the seizing of the castle by the Moors and their King. 19.00: BATTLE OF THE MOOR EMBASSY, The Christian Ambassador will then repeat the process, asking the Moors to leave the castle, who will refuse and declare war which will end with the reconquest by the Christians..

The Church of San Jaime, patron of the city, is of a neoclassical style refined with a blue dome in the Mediterranean style. Inside youÂ´ll find a statue of the Virgen del Sufragio, the well-loved patron saint of Benidorm. The Virgin has her own small chapel containing the little wood sculpture which, as the story goes, was found on a boat adrift on the high seas.

Altea & La Nucia

TOMATO NAMED AFTER LA NUCIA

A new cherry-plum tomato variety has been born in La Nucia and it will bear the municipality's name. Arno Kahne, an 80 years old German biologist who lives in La Nucia, has created this unique new variety in which each plant can produce up to 200 tomatoes. This new variety is in its authenticity phase. In fact, multinational Ludwichshafen BASF (from Germany) has already received some seeds of this new tomato variety

so that, via scientific research, they can check its authenticity.

Kahne has decided to name this new tomato variety La Nucia. The reason: his experiments and plantations have all been conducted in the small vegetable garden of the Montebello residence in La Nucia, where he has lived since March 2013. This German scientist is a fan of cultivating vegetables. Kahne was a biologist by profession who, in 1980, led a development project by the Federal Republic of Germany in Peru. The German biologist presented his work to the Mayor of La Nucia, Bernabe Cano, and the Councillor for Foreign Residents, Bart Gommans, along with the director of the residence Monika Welchering.

Don't make a financial mistake that other buyers often make!

When a buyer agrees to buy a property in Spain, but fails to realise the impact of exchange rates on the final purchase price. For example, in the UK you would never agree to purchase a property without knowing the total purchase price. So when buying a property priced in euros, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precisely what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing unless you already have enough euros in Spain to pay for it. The exchange rate you receive when you transfer your pounds into euros will have a direct impact on the end cost of your property. You will either save or lose a lot of money throughout this process that is often overlooked.

Buying property in Spain is normally done in stage payments, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pay a deposit then followed by the balance of the purchase price later or in a series of stages. At some stage during this process, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to convert your pounds to euros. The price of currency fluctuates day by day and the live exchange rate you can achieve in the morning will be different by the afternoon. Over the course of days, weeks and months, exchange rates fluctuate, sometimes drastically. What many property buyers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realise is that they can actually fix an exchange rate today for a purchase later. That means that they can effectively â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the purchase price of their Spanish property in pounds. So having

already agreed the price in euros you would then be able to guarantee exactly how much in pounds the purchase price will be. Furthermore, there are ways and means to save thousands by getting good exchange rates by buying currency from a specialist rather than a bank. Generally, buyers find a property, get the currency exchange rate on that day and base their decision to buy on that dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currency exchange rate. This means that unless you have fixed your rate which is possible if you consider this early enough during the purchasing process the cost of your property will change by the day as well.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very lucky, on the day you actually send your money overseas you may achieve your budgeted rate or the rate you had in mind. But the risk os far to great by leaving the currency purchase to the last minute. This will leave you at the mercy of whatever the rate is on the day you decide to buy. We advise that as soon as you know that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to purchase a Spanish property would then be to check out a currency exchange specialist like HIFX or Currencies Direct. These specialist companies can save you thousands of pounds simply by offering you better exchange rates than your typical bank. The specialist currency exchange companies focus specifically on money transfers for property.

Also, it is wise to consider your finances and have any mortgage you may have applied for ready in principle. You may consider either a UK mortgage or search for one from a Spanish mortgage broker. In Spain your options for home loans, particularly as a non-resident owner, are unlikely to be as extensive as those on offer if buying in the UK. Spanish banks have been hit harder by the financial crisis of recent years than banks in the UK and as a result lending conditions have become more stringent, although interest rates remain low. Mortgage offers change on a daily basis, so it’s best to contact an overseas mortgage broker to determine what the current mortgage offers are. You’ll want to get an idea as to how much cash your deposit is needed in relation to the mortgage amount. Spanish lenders will typically ask for a deposit of at least 40 per cent from non-Spanish nationals, some requiring 30 per cent are available with tighter conditions.

When applying for your mortgage you will need to provide proof of income and identity, and details of your bank account and credit cards. Make sure you fully understand interest rates, loan terms and the typical criteria used to determine loan-to- value amounts. If you decide to buy a repossessed property, either a new-build that a developer defaulted on or a property formerly owned privately, you are likely to be offered very attractive finance options by the bank selling it. Buying a bank repossession will suit some buyers, typically investors, but be careful you are fully aware of the terms of the finance and be certain you will be able to keep up repayments. Your monthly mortgage repayment is another important figure to consider when looking at the cost of maintaining your property. Choosing the wrong mortgage could lead to difficulties and it’s very important not to stretch yourself financially. If you’d like to be put in touch with a recommended overseas mortgage broker then please e mail us buzz@vistacostablanca.co m

CRYPTIC CROSSWORD

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES wE25

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

Don’t be afraid to go out on a limb this week, be it over work, money or love matters. Your mind is working on a totally new level so old routines, rules and regulations will seem obsolete. Try to see a partner’s point of view in the partnership stakes. It takes two. TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st) The pace of life is on a steady rhythm and that’s fine for a short time, but you’ll want to crank it up as the week progresses to allow your extensive drive and enthusiasm room to breathe. You seem to be the sage of emotional problems in your circle of friends. GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st) Progress at work is possible if you crank up your confidence and allow the wonderful ideas in your head to make it into the big wide world. Don’t take no for an answer when you’re sure of what you want. Don’t know what you want? Work it out, then have the meeting. CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd) Opportunities in the career zone could come your way as long as you’re in the right place at the right time this week. Mercury helps you communicate, so this is no time to be all shy or to hide your talents. Stand there under the spotlight and go after goals. LEO (July 24th-August 23rd) Financially, it’s the most casual conversations that could bring you the most important conclusions this week. Keep an open mind. Group activities socially look positive and fun filled, but its your own to one intimacies that bring the best results. Is it hot in here? VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd) Work matters hold plenty of potential as long as you’re willing to take the initiative and do things your way, yes, even if specific individuals do whatever they can to throw hurdles in your path. See it as a challenge and laugh it off. It’ll make them nearly explode.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) If you feel you’re getting stuck in a rut, you’ll crave fresh fields and pastures new, but you’ll never get them in your sit and moan and expect others to get them for you. Get off the couch and make your own destiny. If you don’t ask, then you wont get. Go for it. SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) If practical issues present any difficulties this week, don’t plod on by yourself or you’ll just get frustrated and angry. Swallow your pride and ask for the help of someone who knows what they’re doing. Its not to say you’ve failed. You were just out of your comfort zone. SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st) The lunar high brings a warm wave of positive energy, which washes all over you, so strike while the iron is hot if you want to get projects off the ground, discuss your financial situation with professionals, or make moves towards getting your love life back on track. CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th) You’re entering a fairly constructive period in a practical sense, and you’ll manage to turn your hand to almost anything, surprising yourself and impressing others around you. Who knew? Suddenly you’re flavour of the month. Be selective with your time and energy. AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

Brain Teaser What do the following words have in common?

You’re finally seeing results for your hard work and dedication in the work zone. There’s nothing you like more than being praised for a job well done as it makes it feel it’s all been worth while. Factor in some time for love and fun though. No man is an island remember. PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

Home and family are the most important things to you, so if either of those aren’t doing as well as they could be, it’s obvious life as you know it wont run to plan. Stand still and take stock. Its time to work out what direction you’re taking now, and who you’re taking.

Caring For Your Baby’s Teeth The prevention of tooth decay starts when your child is still a baby. How well you care for your baby’s teeth (or gums!) will have a lasting effect. Once your baby starts weaning it is best to encourage savoury tastes rather than sweet. Keep away from sweet, fizzy drinks. Water is best but if you do give your baby squash, NEVER give it in a bottle. The teat of the bottle will be sugary and will lie against the baby’s gums or ‘milk’ teeth. This is disastrous for dental health. If fruit juice is given, it should be diluted with 10 parts water and be given in a non-valved free flowing cup. If children are having chocolate or sweets it is better at the end of a meal or the end of the day rather than nibbling throughout the day. Cleaning you toddler's teeth should be part of his daily routine and should be made into a fun time rather than a chore. Teeth should at least be cleaned first thing in the morning and last thing before bed time. Sit your child on your knee facing a mirror

and clean his teeth from behind. Use a small, soft toothbrush with rounded bristles and a smear of fluoride toothpaste. Brush all surfaces in small circular movements. Do not brush side to side as this may hurt and damage his gums. Concentrate on one section of teeth at a time, not forgetting the backs. Persuade, rather than force, your toddler to open his mouth, as he needs to learn to like the idea of brushing. Give him lots of praise and encouragement when he allows you to brush them. Letting him choose his own toothbrush may also make it more fun for him. If he's reluctant to have them cleaned, let him see you brush your teeth first. With an older toddler you can then let him try to copy you. You need to be persistent. Gradually you can give him more responsibility for the brushing as time goes on. Supervise your child while he brushes his teeth until he is at least seven years old.

When do you need to take your child to the dentist and which dentist do you choose? Take your child to the dentist when he's about a year old. Dentists can help to prevent, as well as cure teeth problems. Don't wait until you see signs of tooth decay. When you go to the dentist for your own appointment, take your toddler with you. He'll then get used to the sights, sounds and smells. Don't assume that you don't need to take your toddler to the dentist because his first teeth are going to fall out anyway. Most first teeth have 10 years of hard work to do so need looking after. Also, these milk teeth help keep the space open for second permanent teeth to come through. Choose your child’s dentist with care as you want his first experiences to be good ones. A child who is frightened at an early age by a bad dental experience with probably be put off dentists for life! Choose a dental clinic with a warm, friendly, welcoming atmosphere as soon as you walk in the door. This will immediately put your child at ease. The dentist should not only be an excellent clinician but should be friendly, approachable and used to caring for children in his dental practice.

EAR WAX

There are many products available over the counter, such as drops or sprays for removing wax but these can cause pain, irritation and eczema. It is far better to use ordinary olive oil which is gentle, effective at softening ear wax, cheap and readily available in most kitchen cupboards!

Although ear wax can be a nuisance for some people, it is very necessary for keeping the ear canal healthy. Ear wax, or cerumen which is the medical term, traps dust and dirt particles that enter the ear canal. It prevents the ear canal becoming dry and itchy, helps to prevent infection and also repels water. Under normal circumstances, the ear wax, along with all the accumulated debris, dries out and eventually falls out of the ear. Not everybody produces the same amount of ear wax and for some people the wax can build up causing discomfort and/or a degree of hearing loss. There are several reasons for this including: Narrowing of the ear canal, Production of dry wax (more common in older people), verproduction of wax as a result of blockage or damage within the ear

In some cases it is all that is needed and the ear wax will come out after a couple of weeks of warm olive oil 3 times a day. If not the wax will be softened enough to make removal by irrigation (similar to syringing) or suction quick and easy. In an ideal world we would never have to intervene and remove ear wax but unfortunately it is sometimes the only option and your family and neighbours will be so grateful that your TV has been turned back down to a normal volume!

Many people attempt to remove ear wax using cotton buds but this only serves to make the situation worse! A little ear wax may come off on the end of the bud but the main bulk of the wax plug is simply pushed further into the ear canal. The skin of the canal is very sensitive and cotton buds can scratch and damage the skin causing subsequent infection. In addition to this people can rupture the ear drum whilst attempting to remove wax in this way. Remember the old adage of the ENT surgeon:

BENIDORM DOG HOMING

Where have all the volunteers gone?

Coming to the end of September and we have had a very long hot summer till this last week! Yet throughout the summer the backbone of our group has always been the volunteers. Without them we cannot do the good work that saves the lives of many Spanish dogs. Yet now they have just vanished, so where have they gone? Many people who live here don’t even know that Benidorm has a dog pound to try to help save the lives of the stray and abandoned dogs that would litter the streets. We need to let you know that you can help. Volunteers come and walk the dogs and they come from many places, residents, tourists and people just wanting to do something different and that person could be you and help us fill the huge gap that we have in helpers. Many of whom have been students here over the summer filling in the jobs in your bars and restaurants and getting the chance to learn English. Now it can be your turn to give a little back to this community. So what is Benidorm Dog Homing? Benidorm dog pound is just outside this popular holiday resort. A very short taxi ride from the main hotels and we are always in need of volunteers to walk the dogs in our care. SPAP Benidorm runs the pound to look after animals and they have a policy to protect and not destroy animals. However the shelter provides extremely basic facilities, food is donated from hotels, medical care is limited and it is difficult to fully look after up to 300 or more animals. Benidorm Dog Homing are the volunteers who walk the dogs and give vital support. We need you to spare a bit of your time to help socialize these dogs, take them for a walk and show them that humans can give love too. It’s not just about coming walking, let your fingers help a dog find a home too! Because being a cyberbuddy is a very important job too. I often get asked what a cyberbuddy has to do and I reply ‘Imagine this was your dog and you had to search for a new home, where would you try, what would you do and then please just give it a go and keep your dog’s posts active on Benidorm Dog Homing and other sites a few times a week’ That is the basic job description but what it means to the dogs is

a chance, hope, a future as without a cyberbuddy on their side it is harder for them to be noticed and their posts slip away deep into the page and they become invisible, forgotten and No Hope! You can find out more about this vital support you can give from anywhere in the world by joining our Facebook page ‘Benidorm Dog Homing’ and looking through all our dogs who are in need of a Buddy and a home. Just mention on the dogs post that you want to be their buddy and I will show you all the information you need and it only takes a few minutes of your time a few days a week. Your help does make a difference and at the happy ending time when a new home is found for your dog, you get to celebrate too! Then the volunteers can take over and with our many language skills we can help get a dog passported and off on its travels to a new home. We do need help and you can make a donation using PayPal to yeso1977@hotmail.com or contact us on Facebook to find out more about our dogs in need! You can help with donations using PayPal to yeso1977@hotmail.com or contact us on Facebook to find out more about our dogs in need! For me walking the dogs gave me connections in this country and help that I never knew I needed. SO being a volunteer is not just about the dogs it’s about us humans too. So now it’s your turn to help, here are The WI! The WI (Women's Institute!) Now named Daisy and Rosie Pound Life Sept 2013- HOME NEEDED This lovely Mother and Daughter (about 6 and 2 years old) deserve some quality time together. They love a gentle walk together, a chance for some company and if they were in the UK you can imagine them wearing straw hats and talking about cakes! Please help to give these girls the home they deserve, they are so gentle and trusting.

SHOPPING & LIFESTYLE

Do you want to raDically change your boDy? Whether you want to be a bodybuilding champion or you simply want to keep fit, tone up, lose or gain weight, it is likely you may need some help and encouragement from an expert. There can be no better place to get it than from Bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center Gym Club in Altea, where professional body builder Stefan can work out a plan to suit your ambitions. He will be there to encourage you, put you through the paces and he is also a professional in nutrition. Stefan, originally from Marseilles in France, has been running the gym club in Altea for the past 3 years. He is assisted by his wife Sabrina who herself is fit and toned. Stefan knows what dedication it takes to radically change a body, having trained for 11 years to become the best champion in France. In 1998, he won the European Championship of the International Federation of Body Building. When he started, Stefan used to weigh only 53kg. To be a champion he had to increase his weight by building pure muscle. He intends to compete again next year in the La Nucia Experience and 2 years after that, in the Annual Classic in Madrid. Currently he weighs 87kg but is working hard to develop more muscle and increase his weight to between 92 and 95 kg in order to compete. Stefan carefully looks after his body by eating healthy food little and often and of course by training and dedication. Being in control all round, also helps him to look much younger than his years The gym is open from 10 in the

morning through to 9.30 in the evening Monday to Friday and from 10 am until 2 pm on Saturdays. There is no fee to join and there are various packages on offer, such as bono spinning 25 euros per month, classes package 30 euros per month, body fitness package 35 euros per month and the full package 50 euros per month. Classes include Spinning, Pilates, Zumba, Bodypump, Crossfit, Bodytonic, and Boxing. Stefan speaks French, Spanish and English very well. For further information please call the gym on 966 880 600, look on facebook (gimnasiobodycenter) or pop in at the Centro Commercial Altea Center, Part Cap Blanc on the N332 above Mercadona.

Pauline's Vodka Army have been top of our Mark Carter Ladies Section since the 2nd Week of the Season. Her top Player like so many other Managers is Chelsea's Diego Costa who so far as accrued 45 Fantasy points.Rachel's Team Blue Murder is in 2nd place just 11 points behind the leaders. Struggling at the bottom is Gil's Kippax who are 7 points away from 3 Teams Winnie's Le Hombre Rioja,Gail's Nails and Kath's Team Geordie Lass. In our U.K.T.V.SPAIN Junior League Rocky's Mini Spurs have a 6 point advantage over Harley's Team Ginger Ninja who jumped up 3 places to 2nd this Week.His top Player was Manchester City's Edin Dzeko who scored a brace in City's 4-2 victory at Hull.Down at the foot of the Table there is a real tussle going on between Calum's Ree's Red Devils and Adam's Team What's the Point, both are on 74 points 20 points behind Jack's Team Lads on Toure. The Golden Boot League which is sponsored by Leonard Knowles Construction still has Jarrod's Team We R Leeds in pole position with a slight 5 point lead over Mark's side Inter Rubber.Two Teams share 3rd spot and they are Neil's 7 Palms Playa Poniente and Karen's Florida Pearls.

Chelsea's Diego Costa is also top Player in this Division with 40 points already in the bag.Terry's Team Come on my Cockers and Les's Team Have Not Got a Clue are sharing bottom spot both on 5 points. The 2 Teams going into our Premier Imports Draw at the end of the Month for a fine case of wine are Trev's Boys who top scored this week with a 50 point tally and our lowest scoring Team which was Danny's Boro Man Dan who could only score a big fat Zero. Manager of the Month for September has been kindly sponsored by Neil & Julie at the 7 Palms situated on the Playa Poniente who provide excellent food at reasonable prices.I hope they will be able accommodate 2 Winners as Daz XI and Vince's Bars a Loner both finished up with 109 points 4 ahead of Steve's Cowden Red Devils. The Fastest Moving Team this Week was Alan's Donkey Heads who moved up 89 places to No 106 which qualifies him for a good Olde English Breakfast for 2 at Rafters courtesy of Kate.

The Magpies lost 1-0 to Stoke at the Britannia Stadium on Monday night after Peter Crouch headed home Victor Moses’ cross in the 15th minute. Jack Colback could have salvaged a point for the visitors but put a sitter against the bar late on, as Newcastle lost to remain second from bottom in their worst start to a Premier League season for 11 years.

The Scuderia’s 2014 season has increasing proved a tumultuous one following the departures of the two men formerly at the top of their faltering F1 operation, team boss Stefano Domenicali and long-time President Luca di Montezemolo. On the track the team have finished on the podium just twice all year and remain without a race win for 28 GPs, a dearth of results which keep them on course for their worst season since 1993. However, there were more positive signs at the last race at Marina Bay after Ferrari qualified within 0.3s of Mercedes and then finished right behind the Red Bulls with Fernando Alonso in the race in fourth. That result, combined with Kimi Raikkonen’s eighth place, meant Ferrari took six points out of Williams in the battle for third place in the Constructors’ Championship, the Grove outfit’s advantage over their old rival now a slender nine And while

Allison acknowledges the stark differences between the slow Singapore street track and the fast sweeps of Suzuka that await the F14 T at the Japanese GP this weekend, the technical boss feels progress has been made.points,

Tigers TiPPeD TO reTUrN sTrONger NeXT YeAr

Tigers were the surprise package this season, reaching the Challenge Cup final and going within one win of top spot in the table before eventually finishing fourth. Daryl Clark, who has been nominated for the Man of Steel and young player of the year accolades, is among a number of key men who played their final game for the club in last week’s playoffs defeat by Warrington Wolves. He has signed for Warrington, Craig Huby is en-route to Huddersfield Giants, Marc Sneyd will join Hull and Weller Hauraki is Salford-bound. Jamie Ellis has also turned down a new deal and is set to sign for Huddersfield, but Clark feels Tigers can build on the advances they have made this year. “To finish like that (last week’s defeat) is pretty disappointing,” he admitted. “It doesn’t take away from what a great season it’s been, though. “They have made some great signings for next season and I’m confident they will do well next season and in future as well.” Clark is also looking to up his game next term, but admitted it is a wrench to leave his hometown club. “I’ve had a great time,” he stated. “I’ve been here since I was 13

through the scholarship and academy sides so it has been a pretty special few years “The highlight has got to be walking out at Wembley in front of a pretty much the full Cas town. That was a pretty special moment.” As for his own game next year, Clark added: “I am hoping it will go to another level, but I’ll just concentrate on getting my head down and I’m sure I can do well.”

UNiTeD hiT bY herrerA iNjUrY Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera is facing a spell on the sidelines after suffering a fractured rib against West Ham last Saturday. The Spaniard was substituted in the 74th minute of the 2-1 home victory and United say they will 'continue to monitor his progress over the next few weeks'. The injury is the second suffered by the £28m summer recruit from Athletic Bilbao, who was forced to sit out three matches earlier in the season after suffering an ankle injury in training.

RoRy mcIlRoy AnD gRAeme mcDowell leAD euRope to RyDeR cup wIn

From Back Page The Americans made it interesting, for a few hours, but in the end Europe’s lead was simply too big. Sunday’s only big surprise turned out to be a rare display of dissent in the U.S. ranks. “The boys had to dig deep today,” said Ian Poulter, who went 0-1-2 for the week after a meaningless halve in his lateafternoon singles match with Webb Simpson. “The Americans were coming at us strong. The board looked very good for them for a long period of time.” The win is Europe’s eighth in the last 10 Ryder Cups. It is a run of dominance that continues to confound the Americans, whose search for answers this week included the appointment of 65-yearold Tom Watson and ended with tension between him and U.S. team leader Phil Mickelson. Sunday began with Europe needing to win just four points out of 12 to retain the Cup, and despite a sluggish start, it had little trouble. Pals Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell -- whose recent history inspired Phil Mickelson’s “we don’t litigate against each other” jibe early in the week -won the day’s first two points to make it 12-6, and Europe rolled from there. McIlroy went 8 under in pum-

meling Ricky Fowler 5 and 4. McDowell escaped from a 3down hole to beat Jordan Spieth 2 and 1 in the lead match. For a while, it seemed, the U.S. had a fighting chance. Spieth, 21, built a 3-up lead on McDowell. Hunter Mahan, in the fourth match, went 4 up over Europe’s best player, Rose, through seven. When Mickelson rolled in a 15-foot birdie putt at the 5th, squaring his match with Stephen Gallacher, the U.S. was up in four matches, Europe was ahead in two, and two were square. Gleneagles was quiet. The U.S. looked good.

And then Sunday went the way of Saturday and Friday, as the Euros once again turned the scoreboards blue. In so doing, they turned up the volume on a gray, slightly warmer day in the Scottish countryside. Rose birdied five straight holes, bogeyed the 12th, and birdied the par-4 13th from a bush. He was conceded a birdie at 18 after Mahan, right of the green in two, sailed over it with his pitch and couldn’t save par. “I hit it in the one spot you can’t hit it over there,” said Mahan, who made seven birdies but bogeyed two par5s. “It stinks. It was a tough battle all day.”

David Haye declares intention to become world heavyweight champion once again

a few paths I could go down depending on the route I want, and that's being worked on at the moment.

Former world heavyweight champion David Haye says he will reclaim his title once again - it is only a matter of time. Haye, 33, has not fought since he beat Dereck Chisora in Manchester in July 2012 and his career has been in hiatus for some time.

"Believe it or not I will be the heavyweight champion again. It's just which way I go and how long it takes.

He is currently in negotiations to fight out of the USA and is keen to make a long-awaited return after a string of injuries. Haye told the press. "The heavyweight division is a bit fragmented now. There are

"There's a bit of work to do yet but it's exciting times ahead." Recent reports have suggested Haye has split with long-time trainer Adam Booth and the 6ft 3in slugger refused to be drawn on questions about their partnership.

Froome injury Free For 2015

Chris Froome is confident the multiple injuries he sustained during a testing 2014 season will not be a problem for him next year.

The Team Sky rider’s campaign has been dogged by physical complaints, the worst of which were the fractured wrist and hand he sustained in his race-ending crashes at the Tour de France. Prior to that he was forced to miss Tirreno-Adriatico in March due to a persistent lower back problem, while his hopes of victory at June’s Criterium du Dauphine were snuffed out by impact injuries sustained in a heavy crash while in the lead of the race. Froome was still playing catch-up at the Vuelta a Espana, where he finished second overall, but with that race safely completed and his season now over, he is adamant his injury problems are behind him. “It's fair to say it has been a year of ups and downs,” he told national press. “More than anything I’m just glad that, after the setbacks at the Tour and the injuries early season with my lower back, injuries with my wrist, my hand, I’m all healed up now. Froome, 29, is the first to admit that his season

has not gone to plan, but with victories at the Tour of Oman and Tour de Romandie and a second-place finish at the Vuelta added to his palmares, he is content with the outcome in the circumstances. “It has been a tough year but I’m really happy with how it has worked out,” he added. “Cycling is so unpredictable and when you get everything that works in your favour, you should take that with open arms. But this year has been a lot about learning how to deal with situations where it doesn’t go quite right.”
