The news will be welcomed by weary holidaymakers and travellers who have in the past arrived in Spain on late night flights due to the airport’s operating restrictions. For the first time in the airport’s history, commercial flights will be allowed access to the airport in daytime hours. Airlines have been asking for years for a chance to use the airport during daytime hours, and the expansion opens up a real window of opportunity for
both commercial and private charter flights to Murcia. The announcement was made by the Government’s representative Rafael González Tovar earlier this week during a visit to tour the airport. Since the opening of the airport more than 30 years ago, San Javier has been used by the Military as an operational base, meaning that civil flights were only allowed to use the airport during the evening. Eventually, early morning flights to the business centres of Madrid and Barcelona were permitted, mainly due to demand by local business people for quick shuttle flights to the cities. However, with the opening of the second runway allowing

San Javier Airport Expands Timetable Despite a tricky start to the year, with passenger numbers falling 4% in the first 6 months of 2008 due to the continuing worldwide economic crisis, the airport in San Javier is set to expand and allow flights throughout the day from next March.

daytime flights, San Javier is now set to become an expanding and competitive tourist destination. The new runway, 2000 metres long and 45 metres wide, will be used by the military planes. This will free up the existing runway for the larger commercial planes and will finally place San Javier on an equal commercial footing with other airports across the world. Work on the new runway is estimated to be completed this October, allowing plenty of time to complete any remaining technical work prior to the start of the 2009 summer season. Investment in the facilities at San Javier will see around 30 million euros spent on the improvements, including the expansion of the arrivals and
departures area, a new luggage hall and a new trolley park. The new measures will be extremely popular amongst the British visitors, who currently account for around 85% of San Javiers two million arrivals each year. With respect to the new airport opening in Corvera, set to open in 2010, the Regional Government say that the management of both airports needs to be considered to improve the service that the region can offer to both businesses and passengers. The changes to San Javier will be operational by April 2009, meaning that the region of Murcia will be “open for business” well in time for the influx of foreign tourists next summer.

Waiting Times "Less Than National Average" For Murcia The waiting list for surgery has been reduced in the Region of Murcia since last December, although the population of the region continues to grow at a rate above the national average. According to data from the Murcian Health Service, in the last half yearly survey of 30th June, we are waiting 54 days for surgical procedures, 6 days less than the results of the previous study in December 2007 and 30 days less than the national average. Despite a slight increase in the waiting times in the December survey last year, the Councillor for Health María Ángeles Palacios said that “ waiting times for surgery need to be reduced sensibly and it is a complicated matter, more so for a region such as ours with one of the highest popultaion growth rates in the country.” The recent figures were good news for the region, she declared, and
the regional government will continue to focus on reducing the waiting lists and times even further. One of the decrees for the health service in Murcia states that citizens here have the right to expect a delay of not more than 150 days for their surgical procedures, and the target is met in over 90% of cases. The statistics for those waiting longer than 7 months for their treatment are promising too, falling from 3.5 % of cases in December 2007 to just 1.8% in June 2008.
Mar Menor Considered “Jellyfish Free”
Over 3000 more health professionals have been employed, and the announcement that the waiting times here in Murcia are 30 days less than the national average is a result of the ongoing work of the doctors and health workers across the region. The current waiting list stands at 13,813 patients for June 2008, down from 14,473 in December 2007.

The Council for Agriculture has announced that the campaign to control the jellyfish population of the Mar Menor has been such a success that the number found in the lagoon can now be considered “almost nonexistent”. The waters are now safe, clean and free of the stinging nuisances after a clean-up campaign. The results have not been obtained overnight, but are the cumulative result of years of intensive cleaning
to protect the Mar Menor. The most common types, known as “Cotylorhiza Tuberculata” or “fried eggs”, have not been detected at all this year, whilst the species Rhizostoma Pulmo, or white jellyfish, have been detected only in very low concentrations. In the latest campaign, 78 tonnes of white jellyfish were captured, versus 93 tonnes for 2007, and over 5000 tonnes in 2000 to 2002. More than a million euros have so far

been invested this year in the schemes to clean and protect the beaches from the annual pest. Over 42 kilometres of nets covering 100,000 square metres kept the jellyfish away from the beaches at a cost of 720,000 euros, guaranteeing the safety of the area’s bathers. The region of Murcia has become a model for other provinces looking to control and catch the jellyfish, due to the efficiency of the controls and methods used.

Your Choice – Your Health
When we live in our home country, health cover is something we give very little thought. In most EU Countries, health cover is perceived as a “free service”, though we pay for it through taxes or like in Britain by paying our stamp.
This social security net is not something we can fold neatly together and take with us when we leave our native country to settle abroad, not even if our new country of residence is another EU Country. So, when leaving your home country to settle abroad, whether full time or part time, covering you health care should be as important as finding the ideal place to live and to secure this place with house insurance. There are many arguments for why ex-pats should have free access to health care here in Spain. Add to this
confusing and seemingly contradicting information available on the subject. But, no matter how much we argue the case; no matter how good and logical our arguments are, there are a couple of facts we must have in mind, when it comes to realistically evaluating whether our health care is being covered by the Spanish public system. First important fact is that Spain is a confederation of autonomous regions. This means that some areas, like health care and access to this, are determined by the regional law-makers. So, what is the law and regulations for La Comunitat de Valencia, might not be the same as in The Region of Murcia. Hence the contradicting information you might find on the Internet. This is also the reason why, ex-pats in some areas of La Comunitat de Valencia for years have been issued with SIP cards, without having contributed to Spanish NHS. Access to the Spanish health care system is contribution based, meaning that somebody has to cover the costs. This is on the other hand the reason why Valencia has passed a law, stopping the free SIP cards to ex-pats. The costs of covering the health care for the increasing influx of other EU citizens to the region had simply become too heavy a burden on the public budget. At time of writing there is no change to this. The way to contribute here in Spain and get access to NHS is either as an employee when your employer will pay the contribution on your behalf, or as a self employed, paying the contribution yourself – approx. 250€/ month. This contribution is not only for health care, but covers also pension and unemployment. Naturally there are situations when your home country will pay on your behalf. The EHIC covers emergency treatment during short stays. When you first leave Britain, you can apply for an E106, which normally will be issued for 1-2 years. Pensioners can apply for an E121, and this will give them access to health care here in Spain as long as they are registered as residents here. Basically an E-form/EHIC is a guarantee to Spain that Britain will cover the costs of health care for the person(s) to whom it is issued.

Beware.....Scams About Neighbourhood Watch Warning on Iberdrola Scam Iberdrola has issued a warning that they have received numerous reports of bogus Electricity Engineers calling unannounced at homes asking for money to carry out work on the electricity supply to the house. These crooks have also conned their way into homes where they have stolen items when the homeowner’s attention has been distracted. This is a similar scam to the well publicised Gas Fitter Scam and, like Repsol and Cepsa, Iberdrola state that they do not ask for money up front to carry out repairs or improvements and will, like the gas companies, inform the householder by letter before calling at the house. Anyone receiving an unannounced visit from any person claiming to be an engineer from Iberdrola and asking for a cash payment should inform either the Policia Local or the Guardia Civil immediately.
Fake TV Engineers The loss of Telmicro TV transmissions has left thousands of homes without television and there is a strong possibility of conmen taking advantage of this situation. Householders may well be subjected to fake engineers cold calling. DO NOT let anyone into your home unless you have already arranged for an appointment. The remaining TV signal suppliers will not send out engineers to a home without the householder requesting them to do so.

The only alternative, if you do not have access to Spanish NHS, is to take out a private health insurance. We have asked Nash Warren Insurance’s health insurance provider, ASSSA Insurance, for assistance with the information regarding private health insurance. There are two ways of providing private health insurance: 1) You can use any doctor/clinic, pay the bill to the health care provider, and apply for reimbursement from you insurance company – 2) You have a directory with doctors/clinics among which you can freely choose, and the insurance company pays the bill directly to the health care provider. The first option is by nature the only option for an insurance company, selling health care cover in a country different from the country in which it is registered. i.e. a British company selling health insurance in Spain. However, this type of policy normally has an excess and the reimbursement will in general only be a certain percentage of the actual invoice. Further, you have to send the invoice to the insurance company, before you will be reimbursed. The second option is the method used by the vast majority of Spanish insurance companies. Spanish health insurance companies work directly together with the different doctors, clinics and hospitals in your area. The client does not pay any extras besides the premium and a small administration fee, which can vary from company to company, and for some of them, also according to the service provided. Important is the so-called “disputability period”. This is a period
in which the company might treat a newly diagnosed condition as a preexisting condition, whether the client had knowledge of the condition or not. It is standard in all health insurances, though it might be phrased differently in the General Conditions of the policy. Be aware of hidden extensions of the disputability period, i.e. besides the disputability period, a guarantee that the insurance company will not cancel the policy after a certain number of years. This is in reality a carte blanche for the company to cancel for whichever reason, at whatever time during that period. Look out for a lifetime guarantee for your insurance. Also be aware of the provisions for increases in the premium. Everything goes up with the index, but many companies operate a system where the premiums also go up as the client grows older. So, what might seem to be a cheap insurance when you are 40 could turn out to be very expensive when you are 60. Last, but not least, read your insurance documents. Make sure that whatever the sales rep has promised you is actually backed up in the written documentation. The policy consists of both General Conditions and Private Conditions. Those documents are the contract between you and the company, legally binding for both parties.

Cycle Hire Schemes For Town Halls The Council for Sustainable Development has awarded grants to four Town Halls to enable them to implement cycle hire systems in their municipalities. Totana, Alhama de Murcia, San Pedro del Pintar and San Javier will all benefit from the funding under the Action Plan For Saving Energy. The aim is to draw the public’s attention to the many public transport and other alternative travel mothods, and to reduce vehicle use across Murcia. Cars are responsible for around 50% of carbon dioxide emissions.
In San Pedro del Pinatar the existing cycle hire scheme is to be expanded, whilst the aim of implementing a similar scheme in San Javier is to connect the two localities. Other initiatives in the pipeline include driver training courses aimed at business drivers. The courses would teach driving techniques aimed at saving around 15% of the vehicle’s fuel comsumption. It is a fact that every litre of fuel emits 2.6 kilos of carbon dioxide, and so if every driver on the road drove more carefully, we could avoid tonnes of emissions every year.
Mediterranean Diet of Cultural Interest interested parties can taste and share, and which can be promoted via fiestas, traditions, cooking techniques and flavours representative of the region.
The Regional Government of Murcia, with the support of the Council for Culture, Youth and Sports, has declared the Mediterranean Diet of cultural interest. This is possible under the law of “Heritage and Culture for the Region of Murcia”, which protects and promotes items of special cultural interest at a national and international level.
The Mediterranean Diet has long been recognised as a key factor in the health and longevity of residents of this part of the world, and it is now considered to represent a lifestyle and part of the history of the countries bordering the Med. It is apparently a piece of “living heritage”, which
Several special products contribute to the Murcian diet including the wines of Jumilla, rice from Calasparra, salt fish of the Mazarrón area and many more traditional products. Already many fiestas celebrate the gastronomy of the region, such as the recent Semana de la Huerta y el Mar, and the recent acknowledgement of the diet here being of special interests means that these fiestas, recipes and traditions will endure for the generations to come.
La Manga Robberies Police detained suspects in two seperate incidents in La Manga last week after attempted robberies. In the first incident, a 40 year old man was detained in the early hours of the morning
after stopping to ask his victims for a cigarrette, and then snatching their mobile phones. Officers in the area of the incident in Plaza Jessica made a brief search and found the suspect with one of
the phones. The man, who originally hailed from Madrid, was remanded in custody by the Guardia Civil of Cabo de Palos. In the second incident in Plaza Bohemia, two
teenagers were detained after attempting to rob a third young person. Again, the incident happened in the early hours of the morning, at around 1 a.m. The two female attackers had attempted
to take the bag of the victim, containing money and personal effects. The two suspects were caught and identified and were returned to the care of their families by the Guardia Civil

New Park for Playa Honda Younger residents of the Cartagena district of Playa Honda will be clapping their hands with glee at the news that there is a new park open in the area. The public park is 5,630 square metres in size and cost 168,000 euros. Access to the park is from the Avenida de Playa Honda or calle Río Tajo. There is a playground for younger children, with a synthetic rubber floor to protect the little ones in the event of the inevitable tumbles, and seating for adults. A green area with pines, palms and other plants and the necessary infrastructure for lighting, drainage and irrigation is installed, meaning a green and pleasant envorinment for all.
Bin The Bag Following action taken by several major stores in the UK, many people are now becoming more aware of the need to reduce the huge number of plastic carrier bags that we use to carry home the weekly shop. A recent campaign by the Town Hall in Pilar de la Horadada has smashed expectations and has proved a resounding success for the district. The campaign to reduce the use of the bags started in July, under the name “Reutilízame, gracias”. Free, reuseable bags were given to shoppers to encourage them not to ask for carrier bags, which apparently most of us just recycle as rubbish bags anyway! Within a month, the number of outlets offering the reuseable bags had doubled, with shoppers actually asking for the new bags instead. The campaign ends on the 21st September, with a prize draw for people who have either used the new bags, used their own shopping bag or trolley or have found any other way to reduce plastic bag consumption. The draw will take place on the 22nd September.
Facts about the plastic bag: • Plastic bags we bring home from the supermarket probably end up in a landfill. • Every year more than 500 billion plastic bags are distributed, - less than 3% of those bags are recycled. • They are typically made of polyethylene and can take up to 1,000 years to biodegrade in landfills that emit harmful greenhouse gases. By not using plastic bags we can make a huge difference to the pollution problem:
Each person uses about 83 bags a year. If there are four people in a family, that's 332 plastic bags less every year. That's 332 bags less that will: • Release toxins into the ground water from landfill sites. • Stay in the environment for hundreds of years while they break down. • Get into the food chain via animals that ingest small particles of plastic. • Kill an estimated 100,000 marine animals that die each year of plastic pollution.

PALS Jet Ski Comes To The Rescue Peter was worried that he would not be back for his weekly slot, Peter Lilley’s Country Show, on Saturday afternoon (2 pm – 6 pm). “We were steadily drifting towards Algeria”, said Peter, “and we didn’t have our passports!”
Local DJ of Costa Calida International Radio, Peter Lilley, decided to take his wife and stepdaughter out for a treat on his stepdaughter’s last day of her holidays. They set off on a banana boat from Playa de Bahia with lifejackets
and helmets and were looking forward to a thrilling ride. Unfortunately, when the towing boat reached deep water, the engine stopped. The crew tried to get the engine going but after a while the trip was abandoned. It was Tuesday and
Luckily, the Cruz Roja boat arrived, the jet ski that had been donated by PALS (Protection and Life Saving) charity. The jet ski was able to tow the motor boat and banana boat safely back to shore. It was a disappointing trip for the Lilley family but at least everyone was safe. Juan, one of the lifeguards at Playa de
Improvements to Cabo de Palos
The La Manga Consortium has initiated the third phase of improvements to the road leading to the lighthouse at Cabo de Palos, at a cost of 60,000 euros. Kerbs and lighting will be installed along the whole of the route. The first phase started at the roundabout of the Policia Local and covered a strip 600 metres long. The total project will cost 180,000 euros to complete. The next two phases will, once complete, make the journey up to the lighthouse a more pleasant experience,
and the final phase will also improve the parking area and install a viewpoint, from which the views over the La Manga area can be enjoyed. The La Manga Consortium acts as an instrument for collaboration between the Region of Murcia autonomous community and the town halls in San Javier and Cartagena. Their aim is to push for improvements to the area, to benefit redidents and visitors to the world famous location.
Bahia, said “We have used the jet ski 15 times this summer and on one occasion, we rescued 12 people”. He went on to say that Playa de Bahia was one of the smaller beaches and that some of the bigger ones have more emergencies.
PALS are planning to give a second jet ski to Cruz Roja at their Annual Sponsored Swim on 1 January 2009. Forms for this popular event will be available soon from any PALS member.

This year, we hope to raise money for a number of charities in one fell swoop which we call the Charity Wagon Wheel. The object of the Wagon Wheel is to allow the various charities to raise money for their own charity by means of an umbrella raffle. Each charity will be allotted a number of tickets which will sold at 5€ each. 3€ will go directly to the charity and the balance of 2€ will be paid into a prize fund although we hope that a large number of the prizes will be donated. The participating charities are A.E.C.C., Alzeisal, Butterfly Babies, HELP Vega Baja, HELP Murcia Mar Menor, Age Concern, Caring Together, MABS and Paul Cunningham Nurses.
The draw will take place on Saturday 6th December 2008 at the Orihuela Costa Resort at the end of a special show. We are indebted to Optica Llamusi and La Ponderosa of La Zenia who are sponsoring the cost of the tickets. Any company wishing to sponsor other facets of the operation or wishing to donate a gift for the raffle, please contact David Bennett on 626 393 297.

Caring Together - Buy A Book And Help A Cause! by Michael John Chappell
Following another successful fundraising charity book bring and buy on the San Jose IV urbanisation in Orihuela Costa, Caring Together's local organiser Steve Butler expressed his thanks not only to those who ran the stall but also to the multi-national and cosmopolitan supporters who generously purchased vast quantities of second hand books and who also brought dozens back. Steve, a retired transport company owner, who accompanied by his wife, Thea, has supported 'Caring Together' since their move to Spain eight years ago said, 'Although our little charity lacks the razzmatazz and public appeal of many other charities, there is something special about our cause and we are grateful to those who give generously - not only money but time in helping
us. A big thank you from Thea and myself.' Caring Together is one of the Costa Blanca's oldest charities having been formed in 1996. It exists to purchase in palliative nursing care for the terminally ill of whatever nationality resident on the Costa Blanca who wish to end their days with dignity in the familiar surroundings of their own home. As such, it has no nursing home fees and every cent raised goes towards the provision of nursing care and not in administration Most of the care is provided by Mosaic Care, a private company who employ the necessary medical professionals and Caring Together have a proud association with the company whilst stressing that it remains an independent
charity and free to use its money to the betterment of those in need. Caring Together President, Henry Lock, a resident of Villajoyosa added 'We continue to be grateful to Steve and Thea and their little team of dedicated fundraisers whose selfless and often unrecognised work down the years, has helped so many in desperate need, not only those terminally ill but their relatives and friends as well.'

Fearsome Facts About Flies Living in Spain means living with flies. Whether you have a finca in the forest or an apartment at the beach, flies are a fact of life here in the summer months. Although they are only around one quarter of an inch long, female house flies are capable of laying eggs just a few days after hatching, and go on to lay around 6 batches containing up to 100 eggs each in their lifespan – well, unless you swat them first! In warm countries, these eggs will hatch within 12 to 24 hours into larvae, and around 5 to 7 days later, a mature adult fly will pop out. So mature, in fact, that within hours of hatching, the lucky beggar is capable of mating! And so the cycle continues, with the population of these pesky insects reaching a peak in the summer months and as many as 12 generations of flies being born in the warmer months. On the positive side, the life cycle of the adult fly is short, lasting only 15 to 25 days. Just like us, flies love their home comforts. Although studies have shown that adult flies can migrate up to 20 miles (that must be some small tracking device!), the majority stay within 1 or 2 miles of their hatching place, as long as there is a ready supply of food available. Flies feed on liquids. However, should they spot a tasty solid morsel, they have a lovely habit of regurgitating this to liquefy it, and then proceed to suck in the food as
normal. Well, normal if you are a fly that is! They like to rest on the lower walls and floors during the day, and will seek out corners, dangling lights and ceilings at night. Flies don’t sleep, however at night they get into a drowsy state due to the lower temperatures and lack the night vision goggles to safely fly any nocturnal “kitchen raids”. So they simply find a cosy corner and stay put until dawn. And it is not just the house flies that we have to contend with. Fruit flies, midges and mosquitoes all contribute to a summer season of swatting, fly paper and insect repellant with the smell of citronella hanging heavily in the air! Fruit flies are the smaller flies that can generally be found hovering around in a small circle asking “Am I there yet?”. Like the house fly, their reproductive capacity is enormous, and the adult female will lay around 500 eggs. They are attracted primarily to fresh fruit and vegetables or liquids such as beer and cider. They have a shorter life cycle than the house fly, living a paltry 8 to 10 days by comparison. But they can pack a lot into that short time, mating, reproducing and generally annoying as many humans as is ...well, humanly possible. Add to these the nuisance of the small, buzzing, biting machine we call the mosquito and summer is complete.

The benefits of having a pool enclosure include less pool maintenance, less chemicals being needed and less water evaporation, in turn adding up to a saving of around 20%. It also helps to deflect wind and reduce UV rays by up to 15%. For those of you who enjoy sunbathing, this can still be done without problem.

Mosquitoes in particular seem to love the tast of our slowly roasting pale British flesh, but did you know that only the female mosquito bites? Most species need to feed on blood in order to produce eggs, with the female mozzy having the equivalent of a good chocolate binge when she feels the need. The adult females lay their eggs on or near water, and the larvae feed on the algae and debris nearby. The poor old male has a short and uneventful life by comparison, feeding on nectar and other plant juices. We have good reason to dislike flies, as they can transmit more than 100 different kinds of disease, including typhoid, cholera, diarrhea, TB and parasitic worms. Mosquitoes also cause untold annoyance with their itchy bites, and also transmit the parasite that produces malaria, parasitic nematodes causing heartworm in dogs, and arboviruses transmitting yellow fever, amongst other diseases.
Impossible to avoid, frustrating in the extreme, and part of life in a warm country. Roll on winter! A nuisance to man since time began….here are some fascinating facts about flies. • Early man needed a fly swat too. Hieroglyphics in Egypt chronicle how they tormented river dwellers near the Nile! • There are over 120,000 species of flies in the world. • The smallest fly is less than 1/20th of an inch. The largest is over 3 inches long. • They are the only flying insect with 2 wings. All the rest have 4 wings. • A fly’s wings beat 200 times per second. • Flies have 4000 lenses in each eye. • A fly jumps upwards and backwards to take off. Makes it a difficult job for the fly traffic controllers. • The average speed of a fly is 4.5 mph, so we should be able to chase them with that fly swat.

Creating a 'Huerto' Herbs, fruit and vegetables are not difficult to cultivate here in the warmth and sunshine, and with food prices on the increase, it makes sense to try and ‘grow your own’. This series will guide you in the creation of your very own “huerto”, a productive piece of land to provide the freshest food for you and your family. The first step is to decide on the amount of space that you want to devote to growing your produce. This will depend on several factors. • The size of your plot. • The location of your plot. • The amount of time you have free for care and maintenance of the huerto. • The number of people that your market garden needs to provide for. As a guide, a 10m by 8m patch of vegetable garden will provide food for 2 people all year round with careful planning, and will need about half a day a week devoted to planting
and maintenance between March and June, and less time in the autumn and winter months. If you live on an urbanisation, check any local community rules regarding planting vegetables. A few tomatoes in pots and a strawberry tub won’t annoy the neighbours, but there may well be complaints if you decide to turn your whole garden into a small scale farm! Ideally look for a sunny location with a flat surface, few trees (although some vegetables grow well in the shade) and easy access to water, either by irrigation pipes or hosepipe. Don’t forget to place water butts at the drainage points of any terraces to begin to collect water for irrigation. Once you have found the perfect spot, it’s time to start thinking about how to design your huerto. Next time:
The structure of the huerto.
Whether you have acres of land on a mountainside or simply a small terrace with room for a few pots, there is really no excuse for not finding the space and time to grow your own produce.
Tasks for September As the relatively cooler weather approaches, growth in the garden will slow down. Thankfully the number of jobs that need doing reduces as the seasons begin to change. This week: P Have a look at your garden and decide if you want to make any changes or start any major projects for the coming year. P Prune back any roses to encourage growth. P Remove any plants, annual or otherwise, that did not survive the summer. P Cut any grapes that are ripening. P Keep an eye open for any stubborn weeds and remove as you spot them.

Spa-rkling Spas Since the beginning of time, the concept of taking a relaxing soak in warm water has appealed to mankind. Throughout the centuries, many different cultures have used natural hot springs as water therapy, convinced of the healing properties of natural mineral water. The benefits to both mind and body are well documented. Warm water is frequently used in physiotherapy, helping minor injuries by soothing joints and relieving aches and pains. The soothing action of the water jets, combined with the relaxing sensation of buoyancy
means that a long soak in the spa is an ideal way to unwind. The Greeks and Romans certainly knew a thing or two about bathing, and when the working day ended in the early afternoon, men and women would congregate at the spa baths for an afternoon of relaxation and bathing, catching up on the local gossip of course! Although we no longer visit the communal baths to “take the waters” as the Romans did, we can experience the same relaxing feeling in the privacy of our own homes using a hot tub or jacuzzi spa.
These work on the tried and tested principles of hydro-massage via water jets in warm water and are the ideal way to relax after a stressful day. Modern spas are available in many different models and styles to suit all tastes and budgets and can easily fit onto a terrace or patio area. With larger spas seating several people, why not copy the Romans – you’ll have the ideal opportunity to catch up on the news with friends!

Sewage Affecting Isla Plana Residents
News from Mazarrón and surrounding area
Residents in the area of Isla Plana claim there is a need to improve the sewer system to avoid waste floating out to the surface. More complaints have been reported due to the terrible smell in the Ladera del Mar Residential area of Isla Plana
aftermath of a delay in the building of the water purification plant of Isla Plana and La Azohía, which is expected to treat waters for a population of 25000 people. In the beginning the Plant was scheduled to begin working in summer 2007 and later on residents were promised that the date would be 2008.
Residents have recently denounced the dumping of sewage which provokes a very strong, unpleasant smell in homes, on the streets and on the beach. Property owners just can’t put up with it any more. Tourists and visitors have repeatedly denounced the waste dumping before the Environmental Protection Service (Seprona), have complained to the water board Aquagest, Cartagena’s City Hall, the Health Department and presented complaint
letters at the Regional Government Office ever since they purchased their homes back in 2001, but nothing has been done as yet. The owners and residents specifically denounce that
the waste ends up at calle Isla Pinta and runs down to a small beach known as Cala del Contrabando (Smugglers Cove). They confirm that two new urbanizations were subsequently connected to the same sewer system.
Neighbours state that waste dumping goes on all year round, but it tends to get worse during the busy summer season due to a sewer collapse. Pumping Station Waste dumping is the
Cartagena’s Municipal Government Spokesman Joaquin Segado pointed out that the damage was localized in a pumping station that connects two urbanizations “and the result was a collapse in the sewer system. A private company is responsible for the system’s maintenance, but this problem will be solved by next year with the new purifying plant”.
Mayor Lays First Stone Of New Health Centre In Camposol Also present were health executives from the region of Murcia, the directors of the rest of the health centres from the Mazarrón area and the Head of the Town Council, Alicia Jiménez. The new health centre will be financed by the Regional Department of Health and the Town Council at a cost of 372,000 euros The Mayor of Mazarrón, Francisco Blaya, and the Regional Secretary for Customer Care, Health Planning and Drug Dependency, Juan Manuel Ruiz, along with the local Town Councillors for Health and Infrastructure, Concepción Ballesta and José Antonio Román respectively, recently laid the first stone of the new Health Centre in Camposol.
Francisco Blaya gave a speech in which he stated that “it is a special day for Mazarrón, as it is the first time that public works have been carried out on this scale for the use of European citizens”. He also pointed out that currently half of Mazarrón’s population consists of foreign citizens. The Health Centre will be located on Sector A of Camposol on Calle Jerez de la Frontera. The plot size is 1,800m² and the building will include two floors each covering 540m². On the ground floor there will be six consulting rooms, three for nurses and three for
doctors; toilets, storerooms and a parking area.
A chemist and a community centre: upcoming projects on Camposol
The Mayor of Mazarrón also announced that a chemist and a community centre will be opened on Camposol. The new chemist will hopefully be running before the end of 2008.
The project will be carried
out by the Town Council’s Foreign Residents Board
who still have to decide on a suitable site to build the Community Centre.

Used Car Prices “Melon Mark” For Torre Pacheco Produce Fall 16% In July
The credit crunch continues to bite both here in Spain and in the UK. The automotive industry is just one of the areas affected, according to a survey by European car website AutoScout24. The market survey reveals that in the Murcia region, used car prices fell by 16.6% in July, whilst for the Spanish market overall the average price of a used car fell to 13,457 euros, a drop of 2.5% compared with the same period in 2007.
We have had the kite mark, a symbol of quality for meeting standards. Well, now be prepared to look for the “Melon Mark” with the news that the Agriculture Council have decided to award a mark of quality to identify the humble Melón of Torre Pacheco.
Prices for new vehicles fell by 1% for the month of July. According to the AutoScout24 survey, the coastal areas of Spain saw the greatest drops in prices in July, with the state of the housing sector in these areas influencing the economic downturn.
The new quality distinction recognises melons produced in the area as a “Geographically Protected” (IGP) brand, and will make the name of Murcia and the Campo of Cartagena synonymous with melons of quality. The IGP classification adds value to the product and sets down the quality parameters that the product must meet. It will be recongised on a national and international scale. Four different varieties of melon fall into the classification: Piel de Sapo, Galia, Melón Amarillo and Cantalupo. Around 66% of production is destined for overseas markets, mainly in
And the best place to buy a car at the moment? Well, serious bargain hunters should head to Segovia, where an astonishing 38% decrease was recorded. This was followed by 18% in Tarragona, 16.6% in Murcia, 14% in Lugo and 12% in the Balearic Islands. the UK, Germany, France and Holland. Of the remainder, 31% are for the domestic market and 3% are sent to countries outside of the EU. In total, 5657 hectares of land are dedicated to melon production in the area and around 54% of this is used for the production of the Torre Pacheco melons.
Other interesting facts uncovered by the survey were: Melons in Murcia are big business, with 223,000 tonnes produced annually, around 21% of the national total. The melons from this region are said to be large, good quality, juicy and full of flavour. This, it is said, is due to the quality of the irrigation water from the Trasvase Tajo- Segura.
Emotional Reunion For Lost Child The beaches are crowded in summer, and it is all too easy to take your eye off a child for just a second, only to lose them in a crowd. Somehow this happened to one poor 5 year old, who was lost on the beach at Playa de Rio Seco last week. At around 7.30 pm, Local Police of Pilar de la Horadada received a call alerting them to the fact that a child had been lost in the area, and a patrol was immediately despatched to search for the child and to
get as much information as possible from the distraught parents. Three separate police patrols joined in a search of the beach, the areas where the child was last seen, the adjoining streets and adjacent beaches, whilst the worried parents, from Murcia, could only wait and worry. Finally, after an hour of searching, officers found the child in the Puerto

Forthcoming DVD Releases: Star Wars: The Clone Wars The three Star Wars prequels still divide fans of the original trilogy. Was Jar-Jar Binks a travesty, or just The Phantom Menace’s answer to the Ewoks? Were the epic battles little more than over-the-top and confusing computer game cut-scenes, or George Lucas once again pushing movie technology to its very limit? Did they add to the original movies, or detract from them? Did they ruin fond childhood memories or set off waves of pleasing nostalgia? As if to prove that these films were always meant primarily for kids, though with adults being more than welcome to join in (much like the cross-generational appeal of the Shrek movies, in fact), for the latest Star Wars outing George Lucas has opted for something rather different to what we’ve previously seen at the cinema. Yep, this is the Star Wars universe in cartoon form. Of course, there have been animation spin-offs before, from the near-legendary 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special (in which the character of Boba Fett first appeared in cartoon form) to the mid-Eighties spin-off series Droids and Ewoks. Animated versions of the Star Wars universe have been a cheap and effective way of continuing the franchise for the less demanding. Those keener Star Wars fans will no doubt already have realized that an animated version of the Clone Wars (the galaxy-wide battle between good and evil that takes place roughly between Episodes II and III of the film series) has already been seen on the small screen running for 25 short episodes between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith from 2003 to 2005. But never fear – this isn’t just that TV version re-edited into a film to make a quick buck, but a whole new storyline featuring many of the characters from the films, including Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. With a funky new Japanese-inspired animation
Padawan learner Ahoska and Jedi mentor Anakin Skywalker find themselves in a dangerous situation in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. (c) Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. style, this movie is a big screen, big budget introduction to a whole new animated TV series, set to kick off later this year (in the States, at least). But is it any good? Well, yes, actually. Stylish and slick, it greatly heightens expectations for the TV series. Not taking itself too seriously while still treating the Star Wars universe with respect, this could actually prove to be just the thing to win back the old fans who were so disappointed by the live action prequels. Don’t let Jar-Jar Binks put you off. If you’ve ever been a fan, this could be for you.

WHAT'S ON.... WHERE.. ..
The best of the Spanish riders will be competing in the competition, amongst them Murcian Nicolás Ortuño, from Torreagüera, and Rafa Muñoz. Tickets for the spectacular event can be bought from El Corte Inglés, Centro Commercial Dos Mares and many other outlets, and cost 20 euros for an adult and 15 for children. There is still time to catch the exhibition “Del Mediterráneo a los Andes” at the Museo Archeological in Murcia. This display features over 144 pieces of work examining the creation of the culture and landscapes of the Andes and traces the journey made by those who have travelled there from this area. The exhibition will be open until the 14th September, from Tuesday to Saturday 10am until 2pm and 5.30pm until 9.00pm. Sundays and festivals from 10am until 2pm only. San Javier also has an exhibition of the work of three Murcian painters, Eugenio Pérez, A.del Pozo and J.M. Mármol on display at the Municipal Museum. The display features more than 60 works using different techniques and covering a range of subjects. More modern pieces demonstrate how the latest technology can help to create art. Called “3 en Una”, the exhibition will be open until the 16th September from Tuesday to Saturday from 9.30am until 2pm, and from 6pm until 8pm in the evening. On Sundays opening hours are from 10.30 am until 2 pm. Visit the Recinto Ferial in Lorca between the 15th and 18th September for the annual agricultural show. The show is reminiscent of an indoor country show in the UK, with prizes awarded for the best livestock, equipment displays by agricultural machinery suppliers, feed merchants and more. If you have an interest in livestock, farming and agriculture it is an event not to be missed. Kids will love the animals, ranging from cute and cuddly baby goats, through to large and inquisitive pigs and huge and ferocious looking bulls! And there are plenty of other shows, displays and stands to capture your attention. There are also plenty of places to sit and have a snack, sampling traditional Murcian specialities. The fried dough balls are quite amazing, if a little heavy on the stomach!
Fiesta Fun There are several fiestas happening around the region in the next few weeks, so dust down your dancing shoes and get ready to join in the celebrations. Murcia September Fair will be one of the main events, kicking off on 30th August and running through to September 12th. This popular celebration will feature “artesanal” craft markets, an agricultural show and several “rastros” for canny shoppers to browse the stalls. There will be plenty to do for all the family over the course of the fair, with special attractions planned for kids of all ages. One of the most popular parts of the fiesta is the pilgrimage of the Virgin of Fuensanta, which takes place at the end of the festival and is attended by thousands of people. For more information, visit the official website www. regmurcia.com. A little further inland, the town of Cehegín will be celebrating their fiesta from the 8th to the 14th of September. The celebrations
honour the town’s patron saint, the Virgen de las Maravillas de Cehegín. Since 1725, the people of the town have worshipped their saint, taken into their hearts after the arrival of the beautiful baroque sculpture in the village in the July of that year. Named as the official Patron Saint in 1927, the fiesta in her honour has been celebrated ever since without fail. With a fantastic atmosphere in the small town, the celebrations are not to be missed! Calasparra also celebrate their fair and fiesta in September, with a run up to the celebrations having begun on 25th August and the party continuing until 9th September. The event is a culmination of several smaller celebrations which have over the years converged into one long party! Again, one of the highlights is the pilgrimage for the Virgen de la Esperanza, with thousands of people flocking to the Murcian town to take part on the night of the 7th of September.
FOR THE KIDS Disney Live! – Mickey’s Magic Show. Dates: Wednesday 15/10/08 - 18:30 h. Thursday 16/10/08 - 18:30 h. Friday 17/10/08 - 18:30 and 21:30 h. Saturday 18/10/08 - 16:00, 18:30 and 21:30 h.

The town aims to recapture some of the lost traditions of the area, and the programme of events features a bull run, the pilgrimage and a whole host of cultural activities. Still inland, the town of Pliego in the Sierra Espuña will celebrate in honour of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, with a programme of diverse activities forming the basis for the fiesta. From 29th August to the 9th of September, there is something happening every day. Highlights include “Migas Night” on the 6th September, with cooks competing to produce the popular and hearty Murcian dish, and the procession to take the Virgin to her church on the 9th September. This evening will close the fiesta with a grand firework display. There will also be the usual bull running, petanca competitions, children’s football competition, children’s theatre and several concerts to enjoy.

Fully Qualified Beauty Therapist, Sarah Newell of Revive Health & Beauty in Los Alcázares, is offering the latest in skin rejuvenation – the Caci Ultra System. The system can treat any skin type from prematurely aged and sun damaged complexions to oily and problematic skins with truly amazing results. Sarah is fully CACI qualified with extensive experience in this field.
The municipality of Los Alcázares nestles half-way along the inland coast of the famous Mar Menor. Covering 7 kilometres of coastline and just 20.3 square kilometres of land, the small municipality offers a huge range of activities and delights for discerning visitors and residents alike. Here, it is said, winter is just a word on the calendar and the sun never leaves, and with an average annual temperature of around 18 degrees this certainly seems to be true! With the wonderful location and sunny climate, the town’s population swells from around 15,000 permanent residents to a summer high of around 150,000 inhabitants. Los Alcázares gets its name from the Arabic word for palace “Al-Kazar”, meaning palace, fortress or “house of noblemen”. Many structures were built here by the Moors for holidays
Completely painless, non-invasive and able to produce dramatic results, it works by tightening and toning sagging muscles. It also uses laser to plump out deeper lines and wrinkles. This works by stimulating the body’s own collagen production, and is promoted as a non-invasive alternative to collagen injection and other dermal fillers.
and relaxation during their occupation of the area, from the 8th to the 13th centuries. The Romans had begun to build many baths and spas in the area, recognising the unique curative properties of the waters of the Mar Menor. These were improved upon by the Moors, making Los Alcázares the “in” place to visit for rest and relaxation centuries ago! Towards the end of the 19th century, the area had become popular as a tourist
resort for people from the surrounding towns and villages. Many small cabins and huts were erected along the sea front, so that visitors could indulge in the custom of taking 9 baths (the “novenario”) in the waters of the Mar Menor, beginning on the 16th July with the Fiesta del Virgen del Carmen, and continuing throughout July and August. This strange custom continued until the mid 1900’s. The population then began to grow at a dizzying rate, with the development of the first airbase in the area in 1915 contributing to the economic growth, and the town continued to grow into a major centre for tourism in the region of Murcia.
An immediate effect can be seen after just one treatment, however for optimum results a course of 10 treatments is recommended, which is followed by a maintenance treatment every 4-6 weeks. Sarah is also about to launch a new range of Dermalogica facials.
Los Alcázares finally became recognised as a municipality in its own right in 1983, by decree of the Autonomous Community of Murcia.
If you would like a free Caci consultation and treatment or any further information on other treatments Sarah can offer then please contact her on 618 111 398.
Shape & Tone
Editorial
Since a feature on local TV Shape & Tone is going from strength to strength - toning tables & power plates in Los Alcázares - if you have not yet tried these machines we would strongly urge you to try sooner rather than later. In brief the toning tables allow controlled passive power assisted exercise for everyone aged 18 98, male or female. They work every muscle in your body and you either let the tables do all the work for you or you can work with them to get better results. The 30 minute sessions will improve mobility and flexibility, give you greater muscle tone (inch loss) and help bring down body fat and your BMI, and that can’t be a bad thing! Shape & Tone is especially helpful if you suffer from arthritis, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. The power plates, or The Wobbler as the clients have named them, gives your body the equivalent of a one hour gym workout in just 10 minutes! Free trials are being offered so you can sample the tables to check if they are right for you so call 661 002 648 or pop in at Avenida Rio Nalon 8 to arrange an appointment

And if you tire of “taking the waters” on the safe, clean blue flag beaches, then there are plenty of other things to do in the area: • History lovers will enjoy a trip to the Aeronautical Museum, situated on the Avenida de Libertad, which was restored by the Town Hall and opened in 1999. The museum has 3 exhibition rooms housing maps, photographs and items of interest reconstructing and relating the history of the airbase. Call the museum for opening times. • Enjoy a meal or just a leisurely drink in one of the many restaurants, bars and cafés that the town has to offer.
Did You Know…?? • Los Alcázares has 15,453 permanent residents. • The majority of these are between the ages of 25 and 40, making it a “young” municipality! • More men than women live there (8243 vs 7210). • The average temperature is 18 degrees celsius. • Residents from 90 different countries live in the municipality.
• Take a stroll along the seafront "paseo" and stop for an icecream at one of the chiringuitos (or beach bars) just feet away from the Mar Menor. • Visit the popular weekly market, held every Tuesday in calles la Rambla and Los Catalanes between 8.30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Not forgetting of course the Avenida Rio Nalón heading down from the ‘Mercadona square area’ offering a multitude of shops, cafés, restaurants, bars and much much more………… With so much to offer, it is no surprise that Los Alcázares is a firm favourite with everyone!

Main Fiestas The Semana Internacional de la Huerta y el Mar began in 1971, to celebrate the strong link between the agricultural areas of the Murcia region and the Mar Menor. Throughout the second half of August, the town is alive with music, colour and celebrations, with performances from local, regional and international folklore groups. Culture meets beach culture as the whole town joins in the festival, which was declared of regional tourist interest in 1986. Gastronomy, tradition, culture and folk music complement the sun and sand to celebrate this very special festival. October sees the celebration of “municipal independence” from neighbouring San Javier and Torre Pacheco, which took place on the 13th of October 1983. Celebrations begin on the 10th October, with the tasty “Dia del Caldero” taking place on October 12th. Groups from all over the area gather by the sea to prepare the famous caldero, a stockpot recipe of rice and seafood typical of the area. Don’t miss it!

The 60s: A decade of comedy and drama The 1960s produced more than the summer of love and The Beatles. It brought comedy and drama to life right in front of the nation’s television audience. December 1960: Coronation St. Corrie goes live for the very first time and has gone on to become Britain's longest-running TV drama series. In the first episode, Elsie Tanner gives her slob of a son Dennis a few home truths, while Florrie Lindley takes over the corner shop. March 1961: The Avengers The exciting crime thriller was commissioned at the request of ITV director Sydney Newman. Sexy leather-clad Emma Peel put in her first appearance four years later and Steed finally hung up his hat and umbrella in 1969. January 1962: Steptoe & Son The comedy series, which
gave the rag and bone trade a surprise revival, was broadcast for the first time. The series became so popular that in 1966 prime minister Harold Wilson urged the BBC to change its transmission date in case it affected voter turnout.

July 1968: Dad's Army The lovable but useless characters in Dad’s Army started their defence of Britain in Jimmy Perry and David Croft’s classic comedy for the BBC.

October 1969: Monty Python's Flying Circus John Cleese, Michael Palin and Eric Idle start walking the walk and talking to dead parrots. Despite the low ratings of the first series, mainly due to its Sunday night slot, the show went on to form the backbone of British comedy. The cult Monty Python films quickly followed.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your emotions will be stirred up, causing arguments you are better off avoiding. Rethink the situation that has gotten you so riled up and realize the sweetest revenge is your own success. Use your energy wisely TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Hidden matters will surface and the truth is likely to come out. A colleague or boss will cause unnecessary frustration if you let him or her. Falling for someone you do business with may be too hard to resist. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Expect to face some controversy and opposition if you speak your mind. Make some alterations to your current lifestyle that will help to eliminate some of the troubles you face.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Give your all and you will get results. Relationships can prosper today if you are giving and honest about your expectations. Security can be harnessed and will put your mind at ease.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Work quietly on your own and you will avoid trouble. Comments made by those you deal with today may offend. Don't retaliate -- you cannot win. Bide your time.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you position yourself to take over a group you belong to, someone will give you a run for your money. Sudden circumstances will arise when dealing with friends, neighbors or relatives. Don't put money into something you can't afford.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be honest with yourself and the people you are close to and you will make important changes that will determine your future. There is money to be made if you are precise and practical. Lay your cards on the table professionally.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are in control, so don't let anyone bully you into doing something you don't want to do. Meet new people or try new activities. Love is mounting and your emotions are strong, allowing you to move into a long lasting relationship.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may fool some of the people around you but, if you exaggerate too much, someone will call your bluff. Focus on home and family, not those who come and go out of your life. Surround yourself with experienced individuals.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Loss is likely if you let someone coerce you into buying something you don't need or lending money you shouldn't part with. Stick to a budget and focus on solid moneymaking deals. Avoid joint ventures. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take a good look at your money matters and you will come up with a viable solution that will increase your income. Money is heading your way and, if you use your finesse and charm, someone who has taken a pass on something you wanted to do in the past, will come through for you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Do your best to form alliances with people who can help you get ahead and you will make greater progress. Love will take an unusual turn but, in the end, will bring you the satisfaction and companionship you desire.

FOCUS on Photography By Liz Gardner
Kids With Cameras As you may have noticed, one of my favourite muses is my 8-year-old son. He is the reason I’m so good at action shots…. he never sits still. He is however always asking to use my camera, so I thought this week I would suggest a few tips on how to introduce your kids or grandkids to photography…and how to limit the number of inevitable toe and sky shots being produced!! Firstly, if you have a neck strap, attach it and make them use it!! They can use their hands readily if need be, and it will obviously protect the camera from inevitable falls. Show them the 3 most important features…the capture button to take the picture, the zoom, and how to see the shots they have taken. They will very quickly grasp these, and by looking at their pictures they will see what is good and bad practise. Teach them about putting the subject in the middle of the frame to make sure they get their shot, older children that can grasp the “rule of thirds“ can practise that. There are unlimited places for children to get good photos. Parks will provide bright, action shots. The beach or the Sierras make great landscapes. For younger ones, let them take pictures of their family in seated groups. Zoos are perfect camera fodder…let them capture YOU feeding the animals for a change!! For those of you with cameras too complicated or expensive for the kids, how about investing in a Fisher Price toddlerproof camera? Perfect for little fingers! Check them out at Amazon.co.uk.

Great Grapes The lanes in the campo are filled with grape vines hanging heavy with this year’s ripening crops. Depending on the growing location and the variety, the grape harvest begins in mid-September and continues until the end of November. Spain is the country with the largest area of land devoted to growing grapes, and may soon overtake France as the second biggest wine producer in the world, with many excellent wines scoring well for their ‘quality to value’ ratio.
But don’t just take your daily grape intake in a glass of chilled vino! These fantastic fruits are one of nature’s wonder foods, giving you a low calorie vitamin boost in every bunch! Grapes contain potassium, calcium, magnesium, vitamin B6, folic acid, flavonoids and tannins but despite this, a 100g bunch has an average of just 65 calories. When buying grapes, very gently shake the bunch. The grapes should stay in place, not fall off, and the
clusters of grapes should be firm and solid. To store grapes, either hang from the stem in a cool place on hooks or wires, or simply keep in the fridge in a plastic bag. Grapes bought in good condition on the point of ripeness will keep for up to 15 days if stored correctly. To get the real flavour from your grapes, take them out of the fridge one hour before eating. And if you thought that the only way to enjoy grapes was straight from the bunch,
(or to choke them down by the dozen as you compete with Spanish friends to ‘see in’ the New Year). Try this recipe for Spanish Grape Soup - ideal as a cooling starter in the heat of the summer.
Spanish Grape Soup Ingredients
500g of grapes (seedless if possible) 250g of ground almonds 2 cloves of garlic 150g breadcrumbs 1tbsp sherry vinegar 150 ml of olive oil 1 litre of water salt and pepper to season
Method
1. Mince the garlic finely. 2. Mix together with the breadcrumbs, almonds and a little salt. 3. Gradually add the oil in a thin stream and mix to form a thick emulsion. Then slowly add the vinegar and water, mixing well all the time. 4. Refrigerate for several hours before serving. 5. Just before serving the soup, add the peeled grapes and season lightly with salt and pepper. 6. Serve with lightly buttered melba toasts (and of course a glass of chilled white wine!)

The Calorie Cheat Contributed by Weight Watchers Leader Liz Edmiston.
Weekly meeting upstairs Rumours Bar, Sector B Camposol, every Wednesday at 10.15am. Eat healthily and cut down on your calorie intake with our new healthy eating guide. Making small adjustments to the foods you usually eat can help cut down on both calorie and fat intake and add up to benefits for your body. • Switch from your usual jam to a low sugar version. You´ll save around 35 calories per tablespoon when you spread it on your morning toast. • Switch from full fat soft cheese, at around 100 calories per ounce, with 10g of fat (almost 6g saturated fat). Buy the lower fat version for only 65 calories an ounce, and a total of 5g of fat (3 saturated fat). • One of the simplest switches is to change the milk you drink from full fat whole milk to skimmed. Whole milk has around 183 calories per half pint, with 10g of fat, 5.6 saturated. Skimmed milk has just over 100 calories per half pint and only 0.25g fat, and a measly 0.15g of saturated fat. If you don’t like the taste of skimmed milk on cereals, make the switch in hot drinks instead. Every little helps!

Olive Oil:
The Mediterranean Essence Of Health You may be told to eat a lowfat diet for optimum health but adding extra virgin olive oil has no end of health benefits. In recent years, international scientific research has proved the benefits of Mediterraneanstyle diet. Experts note a reduction of cardiovascular illness, some cancers, diabetes, and obesity. In general, Mediterranean diets include saturated animal fats – such as butter and red meat – only a few times a month, which brings obvious health benefits. But in addition, extra virgin olive oil is the staple fat. Scientific data on the role of extra virgin olive oil has now
led researchers to conclude that many of the cardioprotective and anticancer effects of the Mediterranean diet are due to the use of extra virgin olive oil, which is rich in antioxidant polyphenols. It effectively protects against coronary heart disease, hypertension, thrombosis, cancers, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and obesity. It is now accepted that the use of extra virgin olive oil reduces the consumption of saturated animal fats to a minimum by replacing them with healthier monounsaturates. These fats have been proved in a recent study to more effectively lower cholesterol levels in the blood and combat heart disease
than polyunsaturated fats, like vegetable oils. They are also involved in keeping blood sugars under control. The phenols in extra virgin olive oil are potent antioxidants in your blood, more potent than vitamin E, which extra virgin olive oil also contains. Phenols reduce damaging free radicals, which contribute to many illnesses as well as the ageing process. Extra virgin olive oil is has anti-inflammatory and stimulate the immune system, which has a preventive action against some cancers. Moreover, the elevated content of antioxidants within the oil actually combats ageing and aids longevity.

Beauty
The Magic of Moisturiser
What’s in your pot?
39.90€ 39.90€
Look for moisturisers that can help you achieve the desired effect. The older generation may have been raised on a soap and water beauty regime but thanks to a booming beauty market and an endless pursuit of youth, we have a huge range of lotions and potions that work some magic on our polluted, delicate skin. Sometimes it gets all too confusing trying to select the right cream for your skin. Who on earth knows what hydroquinone or poly-hydroxy acids do? It might all sound like marketing mumbo jumbo, but science never lies. Always select your creams according to your end goal. Decide what you want your lotions and potions to do and look for products that contain the magic ingredients.
Fighting wretched Wrinkles
Look for retinol, which is a vitamin-A derivative. It encourages the production of collagen, which, over time, plumps up the skin and reduces the formation of wrinkles. Use moisturisers containing Retinol twice daily on cleansed skin. Fine lines will benefit from gentle exfoliating ingredients. Alpha, beta, and poly-hydroxy acids work to remove surface layers of your skin, which will improve its appearance and rub out tiny lines. Use moisturisers twice daily and treatments weekly.
Remove dark spots
Sun damage is the leading cause of dark spots, known
as hyper-pigmentation. Some drugs, such as the contraceptive pill, can cause your skin to produce patchy-brown dark spots from the over-production of melanin. The best way to reduce dark spots is to always use a moisturiser with a highfactor sunscreen (15SPF or higher). But there are bleaching products on the market that help reduce them. Look for hydroquinone and kojic acid, which lighten over-pigmented areas. These ingredients take about two months to work, so be patient when using them.
For luminous skin
Moisturisers containing alpha, beta and poly-hydroxy acids will buff your skin and bring healthier, more radiant skin cells to the surface. Use twice daily. Many moisturisers and foundations contain lightdiffusing particles, which give the illusion of softening the light that is bounced off your skin, providing a soft, luminous effect. This is only temporary, however.
Facial protection from the sun
Whether you are on holiday or in the middle of winter, always select a moisturiser with a high SPF factor. Look for micronised zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, Parsol 1789 (also known as avobenzone). These three ingredients block both UVA and UVB rays. Vitamin C has also shown to have a photo-protective effect on the skin.
Eye creams
The skin surrounding your eyes is far more delicate than the rest of your face and demands a bit of extra care. It is important to use a cream that is designed for the eye area. Not only will it reduce reactions in allergicprone skin but it will also produce great results, like firming or reducing circles and puffiness. Eye creams contain a number of active ingredients, which tighten under-eye skin to reduce puffiness and lighten dark circles. When you are shopping for an eye-cream, here are the ingredients you should be looking for. Firming ingredients: these include caffeine, alcohol, retinol, alpha-hydroxy acids, copper and vitamin C. Caffeine and alcohol temporarily dehydrate skin, making it appear taut. Retinol, alpha hydroxy acids, copper and vitamin C actually work under the skin to stimulate collagen growth. Because collagen supports the skin from within, stimulating its growth may, over time, firm the skin and smooth lines and wrinkles. Darkness-inhibiting ingredients: these include vitamin K, kojic acid and hydroquinone. Vitamin K has been shown to inhibit bruising and doctors suspect it helps to counteract dark shadows caused by too much blood flow and minor bruising under eyes. Kojic acid and hydroquinone are skin-lightening agents, often found in bleaching and age-spot creams.

Water and Senior Citizens
Are you drinking enough liquids for your health? To find out, try this quiz:
by Coastal Coolers
1.
As we age, the balance between our need for water and our thirst for water shifts. In fact, the less water an older person drinks, the less thirsty they become, leaving them open to the risk of serious dehydration and other complications. Further, confusion over the difference between hunger and thirst intensifies over the years, making it all the more important to conscientiously drink adequate amounts of water throughout the day. At the very minimum, one should consume one cup of water for every 20 pounds of body weight daily, that's around 6-8 glasses for the average person. Exercise and warm weather both call for additional water intake to replace fluids lost through excessive perspiration. So, all those senior citizens who head south for retirement will need to increase water intake! Increased fibre intake among seniors, which is usually recommended for older people to aid with constipation and other health concerns, also increases the need for water. The human body is at least 50% water, of which 2-3 quarts are lost on a
daily basis. Even bones are over 20% water! Aside from replenishing what is lost in order to hydrate the blood and tissues, water also lubricates joints, regulates temperature, and moistens the lungs to allow for breathing. Inadequate water intake over time prevents these processes from occurring, leading to arthritis, sore muscles, heavy breathing, and a higher body temperature. This means that not drinking enough water over time can result in more severe effects at an older age, which means preventable problems during what should be the golden years. Senior citizens are at particular risk for dehydration because their kidney function has diminished to some degree. Symptoms of dehydration, which can cause death in extreme circumstances, include confusion, drowsiness, labored speech, dry mouth, and sunken eyeballs. Side effects for seniors who do not drink enough water, however, extend far beyond dehydration. Even shortterm water deprivation has been known to cause chronic pain. Over time, lack of water causes loss of muscle

In order to maintain health, the kidneys must excrete a minimum of ten ounces of waste per day. When water is not available, there is nothing present in which to dissolve the body's waste products (uric acid and urea) for expulsion. As a result, they build up within the body, leading to kidney stones, while putting additional strain on the kidneys to find adequate liquid with which to expel toxins.
6.
Considering the abundance of water in our daily lifestyles, the fact that most senior citizens are consistently dehydrated to some degree is alarming. All foods are partly composed of water; fruits and vegetables are over 75% H2O, and even bread is more than 30% water. Yet with the abundance of water in their diet, the average senior citizen still requires over two-and-a-half quarts of pure water each and every day to maintain good health.

Little boys and dirty words
Back to School Basics
Are your kids at the age when saying ‘rude’ words seems funny? It’s enough to drive you crazy!
Easing the transition from summer holidays to school
by Liz Edmiston
by Liz Edmiston
It is that time of the year again, when all the kids want to think about are holidays, sun and fun. But for mums and dads, planning ahead is vital and the summer break is an ideal opportunity to sort out what your kids will need for the next academic year. Plan ahead, don’t get caught out in the last minute rush, and your kids will be ready and raring to go when term time comes around again.
At the moment my two boys, aged 5 and 8 have an obsession with mucky words. Don’t get me wrong, these are not words of the adult 4 letter variety, although coincidentally many of them do seem to be 4 letter words, but words of the juvenile ‘bodily function’ type! Even worse, now we live in Spain and they are bilingual, I get dirty words in both languages, and they come back from school saying stuff that you won’t find in your average English – Spanish dictionary! I have tried almost every strategy I can think of to stop them from doing this, but the problem still persists. If anyone out there has other ideas (short of taping their mouths closed, not matter how tempting that may seem!), I’m open to ideas.
Here are some of the strategies I have tried with varying degrees of success: • Allowing them to say it as many times as they want. This worked with my older boy, who when made to stand in his room and repeat the dreaded ‘poo’ word over and over soon became bored and apologised. Not so little brother, who thought this was a great game and had fits of giggles, managing at least 1000 repetitions before he stopped! • Stopping pocket money. Again, worked better
Here are some survival strategies for “back to school” preparations:
with my older boy, who is more aware of what he can actually buy with his allowance. Try keeping this up for too long, though, it is really hard on the parents. Boy did I feel like a bad guy! • Ignoring them. This one works best with my little one. If I say something like “Sorry Alex, Mum doesn’t want to listen to that. I’m just going to ignore it”. He hates this, and being ignored produces a “No mommy I will be good” response. Trouble is, it just doesn’t last long enough. • Withdrawing ‘big boy’ privileges, such as staying up late, or going out on bikes, or renting a new movie. The logic is, if you want to behave
like a baby, then you get treated like one. Works best with my older boy, who loves to go out on his bike with his friends. I do remember my own mom threatening the “I’ll wash you mouth out with soap and water” and on at least one occasion she did just that, but for me it seems really a bit over the top! I wonder if it worked though?? For now I just try to put up with it and manage it on a daily basis, depending on the kids’ moods. When they get silly and giggly there is just no reasoning with them. For certain they will grow out of it..... just in time to grow into using 4 letter words of the ruder variety I expect! Such is life...
• If your kids need new stuff for school, take advantage of the summer sales and the special “back to school” offers run by many stores to stock up on things you think they need. And if last year’s stuff is still serviceable, don’t feel pressured to buy new just for the sake of it. • If there is one special trend or item that your
child is desperate for, try and find a way of getting it for them so that they have something to look forward to and to help them fit in with their peers, especially if this is their move to a new school or ‘big’ school. • Start talking to your kids well in advance of school starting, and try to adopt a few of the termtime routines before the big day. Gradually get them to bed a bit earlier, in preparation for school routines. • Find a positive aspect to focus on, especially if your child is a bit nervous or reluctant. This could be meeting friends again, choosing after-school activities and clubs, a new backpack, moving up a year....... help them to find something to look forward to. And wish them luck as they sail through the gates for another year of learning!

Out
Travel Back In Time At Lorca Castle by Liz Edmiston
There are only a few days left of the long, hot summer holidays, so why not take the kids out and have one last day of holiday fun before school starts again? One of the best places to go in Murcia has to be a trip to the castle in Lorca. Follow signs for the “Centro de Visitantes” in the city and park there. At weekends, holidays and fiestas, you can take the tourist train up to the castle for around 3 euros (under 3’s free), or if you prefer you can drive up yourself, following signs to the “castillo”. The Visitor Centre offers a reduced price combined ticket for both the train and the castle - check with them for the latest prices and times. The entry fee also gives you the chance to look around the visitor centre itself. On arrival at the castle, you pass into a time chamber, a type of tardis, which whizzes you up into space and back in time to the past, sending you out into the bright sunshine of days of yore. Once out of the “time machine” you can
either follow the guide and take the tour in Spanish, or rent one of the headsets and listen to the audio guide in your chosen language. The castle itself is a great mix of towers, tunnels, courtyards and activities designed to maximise enjoyment for the kids. There is a giant chess set, a wooden play castle, and some huge games to play. The viewpoints offer fantastic views of the City of Lorca and the surrounding area, including the motorway which passes directly underneath the castle via the tunnels! There is a huge amount of information available about Lorca’s history and culture, although you may find that younger members of the party simply want to race around and discover the hidden doorway, the gardens and the exhibitions. In addition, there is a demonstration of birds of prey every few hours, with hawks, falcons and owls on display, keeping watch on the proceedings with their beady eyes.
The restaurant serves sandwiches and pizza and light refreshments, and there is a small souvenir shop with local gifts, foods and handicrafts. And when you get tired of all the running around, you can simply sit in the shade with an ice cream! Just one word of advice – make sure that you don’t miss the last train back down the hill! It is a long, hot walk! For more information, contact the Lorca Tourist Office on 968 441 914 or www.lorca.es Or the Lorca WorkshopofTimeon902400047 or www.lorcatallerdeltiempo. com Declared to be a HistoricArtistic site in 1964, Lorca is known as the “baroque city” because of the significant architectural legacy of this style standing in its historic centre. So, if you have the time have a wander around the structures standing on the cobbled streets which flank Plaza de España, such as Zapatería and Cava.

engineer innocently collecting his paperwork. “What time can you go there today?” And that was that. The engineer turned up that afternoon at 4pm to start work. Forced to stop only when night fell (as we also had no lights!), he returned the following morning and connected all the pipes, signed the necessary certificates and left us with 2 bottles of gas.
Now the proud owners of our own home again, with just 2 weeks to go until Xmas, things were getting a little hectic. We had a gas water heater, but no gas connection, and no kitchen whatsoever! I decided to pay a visit to the Respol office in town, with more than a few misgivings, as I’d been told that we may have to wait weeks for the engineer to come out and fit the pipes to connect us. Waiting in the queue to be served, I felt sure that I had seen the young woman in charge somewhere before.
“You don’t recognise me do you?” she smiled. “Well, I know your face, and I know we have met, but I can’t remember where!” It turned out that she was a friend of Maria’s, and we had indeed met before at the picnic of “beer and bocadillos” in the pine woods to celebrate San Marcos. Explaining that we had moved into the new house, but had no hot water, Rafi became concerned. “But you have the children..it will be a priority.” She turned to the heating
The old saying ‘It’s not what you know but who you know’ seemed to be true, and not for the first time since I arrived in Spain, I was truly glad to have met Maria. The lack of kitchen proved tricky, but with the trusty microwave and a plastic ‘sink’, we managed to cook and wash up pretty well for the first week. The arrival of our furniture from the storage facility made the place seem almost like home! But the real challenge was just around the corner, and with Christmas almost upon us, I was determined that we would sit down to a full Christmas dinner with all the trimmings in our new home. Would it be possible? Next time: The turkey that came down the mountain

Grapes & Raisins Can Cause Kidney Failure In Pets by David the Dogman Q. I heard that grapes and raisins are poisonous to pets. Is this true? A. Unfortunately, grapes and raisins are toxic to pets, including cats and dogs. The exact toxic agent and mechanism of action are unknown. Speculation is that some byproduct of digested grapes/raisins causes toxicity. The ultimate effect of an overdose of either of these products is kidney failure. The number of grapes causing toxicity is approximately 1 per pound. A 10-pound dog would require only 10 grapes to receive a toxic dose. Raisins can be toxic at a rate of three per pound, or 30 raisins for a 10-pound dog. Clinical signs usually start within six to 24 hours after ingestion. The initial signs are gastrointestinal, such as loss of appetite, vomiting and diarrhea. Signs of kidney failure include vomiting and decreased urine production. As with any toxicity, time is

Ben of the essence. Contact your veterinarian immediately if you suspect your pet has ingested grapes or raisins. Treatment is aimed at preventing absorption from the gastrointestinal tract by inducing vomiting and administering activated charcoal to bind any digested grapes/raisins in the intestines. Decontaminating the gastrointestinal tract is only useful if it is initiated within three to six hours of ingestion. The sooner the grapes/raisins are removed, the less likely deadly kidney problems will develop. Hospitalization with intravenous fluids and injectable medications aimed at supporting the kidneys is required for a few days. Kidney values are monitored daily as well. Unfortunately, pets in renal failure have a poor prognosis for recovery. The best advice is to avoid feeding grapes/raisins to your pet. Even a handful of either to a pet can be unnecessarily risky.
Ben is 6 months old, a little timid but getting better by the day, he is a lovely little boy, fully inoculated.
Ivan
Is about 15 months old, Red Setter x Pointer, wonderful nature, loves to play gets on well with children but definitely NOT cats. Would love a home with a young family with a large garden.
HARVEY
Lovely little boy, we believe spaniel cross, Harvey was abandoned in the Spanish countyside, he was found very close to death, dehydrated and starving. He now hates to go out in the sun in case he is left out there. Gets on well with other dogs, cats and children. Will make a wonderful family pet.
Wilma
One of a litter of 6 found in the campo, getting more confident every day. Leader of the ‘pack’, 10 weeks old.
Please call our Rescue Officer on 699 352 818. email: noahsarcmurcia@yahoo.co.uk www.noahsarcmurcia.com Tia is approximately one year old, a mixed breed,
fully vaccinated. She was living at the entrance/exit to the motorway in Mazarrón in a large rainwater pipe beneath the roadway. She had at some time been caught in some sort of trap, which had caught hold of her tail. As she freed herself about three quarters of the tail was skinned. She was rescued by us and we found that there were maggots living in the dead flesh of the tail. She was taken to the vets who removed the dead tail as close as he could and now her small skinless tail is looking normal.
Cooper is a small Pointer who was born Feb 08 and is fully vaccinated. He was found in El Pareton with a badly broken shoulder having been hit by a car. On the vet’s advice this lad could not have treatment due to the injury being old. He now runs and walks well but with a limp but getting better day by day. Currently in foster care and gets on well with other dogs.
Having said all this, that is the bad part over. She now lives with a foster carer, gained her confidence and is a very loving dog, as can be seen, she has taken pride of place on the settee. Tia is now ready, willing and able to become one of your family. She has had the trauma, she should now have the love she so deserves.
Scooby is a mixed breed and born around August 2005,
fully vaccinated. He was rescued by a friend of Noah’s after he had been caught in a trap. He freed himself but at a cost, he pulled out his paw but tore away the skin and flesh of the upper foot. With no one to care for him the wound became infected and when rescued the infection had travelled so far up the leg the whole leg had to be amputated. So here we have a three legged dog, nice and slow you may think, but not so. Scooby will chase birds in the garden, and run rings around you. He is a very lively energetic boy who has got his second wind, he loves to play, walk and be mischievous, he’s more like a puppy than two years old. Not a dog to be felt sorry for, he has too much to give for that.
We have many dogs looking for good homes. Please contact our Rescue Officer on 699 352 818

On the Water by Shane Cole Go-N-Sail, Mar Menor
Spanish Heat Continues
Audi MedCup Circuit Sailing In Cartagena
Having spent August sailing around the Mazarrón area, it has made me appreciate how lucky we are to live in this fantastic location; hence I am really pleased to see that Spain has firmly planted itself on the sailing map.
The city of Cartagena is currently in the middle of the Audi MedCup, one of the biggest sailing regattas outside of the Americas Cup. Since the 25th August, the port has been transformed into a hive of activity, with more than 20 boats from 11 countries around the world competing to win the event.
Spain is turning up the heat on the World’s Sailing calendar, to name a few events, it has hosted within the last 2 years, the Velux 5 Oceans challenge which started in Northern Spain, the Americas Cup in Valencia, whilst Alicante hosted the start of the Mediterranean Tall Ships race, then there are the numerous local and national events such as the Copa del Rey and the Ruta de la Sal. As if that’s not enough, Cartagena is hosting the 5th circuit of the Medcup TP52 race for the first time and we are looking forward to the Volvo Round the World race starting from Alicante in October. The point I’m trying to make is that, whilst this area may not be top of everybody’s sailing wish-list, it clearly has something to offer or else the event organisers would be looking elsewhere. Overall the conditions are excellent, with above average hours of sunshine and reasonable winds, it really does make for near on perfect sailing conditions. Casting my mind back to our days in Portsmouth, it was not uncommon to find families that had planned a 2 week holiday on the Yacht only to have managed less than 7 days sailing. Looking back through our
diary there are relatively few days we could leave port due to foul weather, be it only for a few hours. August may have come and gone, but that does not necessarily signify the end of summer, there are still many wonderful sailing days to be had and I’m hopeful that there will still be a couple of months before I need to put my shorts into winter storage. In a bid to prolong the sailing season, we will be running a cruise in company from La Manga to Mazarrón from the 20th to 23rd September. This cruise is open to all boat owners and their crews. Everybody is welcome so come along and join in the fun, for more details please contact Debbie on 695 326 184. Before I sign off, I’m sure you’ll all join me in congratulating the British Olympic efforts in Beijing - well done guys and may there be many medals in future years. Until next time, fair winds and remember sailing is supposed to be FUN!
But if you´d like to get a slice of the sailing action, you´d better hurry, as the competition is only on until 30th August. The five days of the regatta have seen Cartagena transformed into a continuous fiesta, and have consolidated the city’s reputation as a sailing venue of excellence. If you’d like to join in the remainder of the party, check out our timetable for the events still to come:
Friday 29th August 13.00 hrs Windward – Leeward tests 19.30 hrs Children’s activities. Include balloon workshop, face painting with a “marine” theme, mechanical surf board and more, in the Public Village. 20.00 hrs Urban “Cross” race, organised by the Sports Council. The track is 804 m long, and younger runners will complete a one circuit race, with adults completing 2 circuits, a total of 1609 metres. It is free to enrol, up to 30 minutes before the race, numbers will be handed out to racers 45 mins before the start. All participants will get a commemorative t-shirt, and there will be trophies for the first 5 finishers in each category, including veterans! 22.00 hrs Theatre company “Ale Hop” present an interactive show and contemporary circus designed to involve and dazzle the audience.
Saturday 30th August 13.00 hrs Windward – Leeward tests 19:30 hrs Exhibition of sailing techniques. An exhibition of sailing will take place in the port opposite the Escala Real. There will be a demonstration of the techniques needed to manoeuvre the sailboat rigging and how to navigate using tools and techniques from days gone by, in which the members of the public can participate. 19.30 hrs Children’s activities. Include balloon workshop, face painting with a “marine” theme, mechanical surf board and more, in the Public Village. 22.30 hrs Gala celebrations to officially close the Regatta.

The Way Children See Things! NUDITY
I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a Woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-yearold shout from the back seat, "Mom! That lady isn't wearing a seat belt!

Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased.
