The Ternelles Walk: Public or Private?

The March family of the Ternelles estate has reportedly passed the management of public visits to a private foundation.

A statement released last week revealed that the

Fundació Vida Silvestre de la Mediterrània (FVSM) will manage the public access to the estate from December.

Until now this was carried out by the council of Pollensa.

Reservations should now be

made on the FVSM’s website.

However, this appears to be news to the town’s Mayor who, after consulting the municipal legal services, told the press that the council should be in charge of the access; “The last ruling of the Supreme Court recognized the public road from Ternelles to the sea and ratified that the institution in charge of granting the authorizations to visit Ternelles is the City Council, which is the holder of the public service of the road,” he explained. The council is currently drafting the adaptation of the PGOU to the Natural Resources Management Plan (PORN) of the Serra de Tramuntana, one of the conditions set by the Supreme Court in the last hearing related to Ternelles.

The council is also preparing a proposal to improve conditions of the Ternelles road, according to the mayor.

For its part, the FVSM reached an agreement with the company that manages the Ternelles estate, and as of December 1 it will begin to organize free guided tours to the farm, with groups of up to 20 people that will be accompanied by a biologist and an environmental educator. The FVSM hopes that this initiative will serve to “encourage guided visits to other private farms” of the Serra de Tramuntana.

In a statement posted on Social Media, the council of Pollensa, has said that these guided tours should be separate to the free passage of Ternelles which should continue to be managed by the council. That the maximum number of people allowed is 20 and that the guided tours should not be compulsory. This story will continue...

Alcudia Wastewater Plant Funds The High Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands (TSJB) has agreed that the Council of Alcúdia should be compensated by the Balearic Government with €4,790,585.13 for the cost of conservation, maintenance and operation of the municipal wastewater treatment plant in in the three-year period 2015-2017.

The Government has already paid €4,112,630.85 and must now add €677,954.28 more.

Alcúdia, along with Palma, Manacor and Sant Llorenç, is one of the few municipalities in Mallorca that directly manages their town’s water treatment plant. Other municipalities depend on the Agència Balear de l’Aigua i Qualitat Ambiental ( Abaqua), which in turn depends on the Conselleria de Medi Ambient.

The municipalities that directly manage their purifiers receive an annual compensation from the Balearic Government which in the case of Alcúdia is €1,370,876.95 per year. In 2015, the council requested that instead of extending the compensation applied in 2014 (from €1,370,876.95), it would be revised upwards to bring it into line with the actual cost of conservation, maintenance and operation of the facility.

expenses that have to be met.

It is fair to pay what is spent.”

Inheritance Accepted

The Consell de Mallorca and the Council of Pollensa signed before the notary last week, the official acceptance of the inheritance of Joan Zaforteza Serra de Gayeta; a two-storey building on Avinguda Jaume III in Palma.

Located in one of the most commercial areas of the city, the property is valued at €710,215, and has been transferred to the council of Pollensa and the Consell with the condition that when they sell the property, all money made in the sale will be invested in the Home of the Elders of Palma and the residence of Santo Domingo in Pollensa.

Braille Map Published

The Government dismissed the request, without looking into financial reports that justify costs, the TSJB took on the case and recently overturned the government’s decision.

The mayor of Alcudia, Toni Mir, told press, “I am happy because justice is done, it is clear that the treatment plant

The Council of Alcudia has published its first map in braille, which will be

available at the tourist offices of Alcudia. Presented by council officials last week, the map is part of the collection in Braille that is now available throughout the municipality.

Councillor for Tourism, Joan Gaspar Vallori presented the map which he said adds to the town’s “Alcúdia para todos” project, an initiative that aims to make Alcudia one of the best tourist destinations with complete accessibility for people with disabilities.

Recycling News After a working meeting between the Council of Alcudia and Ecovidrio, a nonprofit organization, a project to promote glass recycling in the hospitality sector has been launched. Ecovidrio has conducted 98 surveys and interviews in Alcudia’s catering establishments and has delivered 79 small containers to facilitate the recycling of glass to the premises.

According to the organization, in 2016, Alcudia recycled an average of 52kg per resident, which is way above that of the Balearic average of 36kg per resident.

This year they are aiming for 1 tonne of recycled glass and this new initiative will only add to the positive results.

Meanwhile, the council has delivered 25 recycling containers to Nuestra Señora de la Consolación school. Councillor for the Environment, Tomàs Adrover, explained that it is a matter of making recycling a habit for the children, who will have these multi-coloured bins, in their classrooms.

Hola!

It’s a great time of year for the community to come together and this issue certainly reflects that. This fortnight we see the return of Bonfire Night in Crestatx, the toothbrush donations for our local Dentistas sobre Ruedas and continued work by the Lions and other groups. There are plenty of charities and organizations so perhaps it’s time to get involved.

Visit www.TOTNMallorca. com/community for more information.

See you next time!

Joanna p.s. Our winter schedule is about to begin. TOTN dates are: 9th November, 7th December, 11th January and 1st February.

The launch was accompanied by new Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.

The tourism councillor, Joan Gaspar Vallori, presented the new tools that will feature culture, nature, heritage and gastronomy as well as suggested itineraries, routes, places of interest and events.

Dentistas Sobre Ruedas Dentistas sobre Ruedas or Dentists on Wheels is an NGO dedicated to the improvement of dental health. This non-profit association is formed by dentists, health professionals and volunteers from different sectors, who have joined together with the main aim to organize and coordinate projects that contribute to improving general health, and oral health in particular, of those who do not have the sufficient resources to access decent healthcare services.

The people who make up DSR hold a common value in the

diversity of the world yet appreciating how the world is so globalized. Acting with humility and dedication to those more in need is a matter of “raising awareness in our lives, of moving from theory to practice to begin to build a better, more just world with our peers and for our planet.”

Do your pension funds go over the lifetime allowance?

The UK government has reduced the lifetime allowance considerably over recent years and more and more people are paying the 55% tax imposed above the limit. If you escape it yourself, your heirs may have to pay it. Can you protect yourself?

Their latest project, Project Adamo, is to return to the town of Missirah in Senegal.

As they discovered in their trip last year, the “Health Post” is the only access to healthcare in the town.

The nearest doctors is in Sokone, 40km away.

Working with the community nurse, this “Health Post” is where the DSR stays for one month to provide dental care.

The group leaves at the end of the month, with another trip scheduled shortly after, and volunteers are asking for toothbrushes and toothpaste to take to give out to families especially children when they visit schools and communities to talk and

educate about dental health.

THE WINTER BREAK

1

Is the season getting longer?

There seem to be more hotels open for longer this year. Here are some just in Pollensa...

Hotel Son Sant Jordi One of the original

hotel interiors, the Hotel Son Sant Jordi is a collection of old townhouses renovated to create an authentic and quintessentially Pollensa holiday, and there is an array of choice from a single room to a mini apartment for the family. The recently refurbished rooms are a clever and eclectic mix of modern and traditional elements, and the oasis (hammam, Jacuzzi, pool…) that hides behind the hotel’s façade is a wonderful surprise. www.hotelsonsantjordi.com

2 La Goleta

A stylishly retro hotel, this gem on the frontline in Puerto Pollensa is a Mediterraneanmarine sanctuary. Child-free and high tech it has all the signs of a luxury retreat. Add a concept of traditional local values and slow tourism, the charm of La Goleta is clear. While the rooms are luxurious, clean, fresh and unmistakably Mediterranean, the restaurant downstairs is arguably the best in town. www.lagoletahoteldemar.com

8

Hotel Sis Pins This is an extremely popular hotel, whether it’s for the location (frontline along the ‘pine walk’), for the people watching (from the Cappuccino Grand Café), for the service (just check the Tripadvisor ratings), or the Hotel’s long history (it is one of the original hotels from the 1950s), everyone has their reason for falling in love with Sis Pins.

It is also reliably open throughout the winter every year. www.hotelsispins.com

Hotel Galeon Suites A bit further out of

town but no less beautiful is the Llenaire end of the beach, which is where the Galeon Suites are located.

Beautiful seaview rooms await with a Christmas and New Year package deals waiting to be snapped up.

Apartments and rooms cater for families of all sizes. www.galeonsuites.com

Volunteer in the North The recent day of Associations in Pollensa was an eye-opener for how many charities and organizations there are in the north that help those in every kind of need. From domestic violence to alzheimers, from worker’s rights to child abuse.

There were plenty of organizations some familiar and some not so well known. Of course, the Lions is one of the most accessible for English-speaking residents in the north, and getting to know the organizations who are in need is a great way to be part of the community.

The Mallorquinista A Happy Ship

Real Mallorca have been transformed from a disjointed unit into a tightly knit happy ship inside the space of just nine league games. Head coach Vicente Moreno is the real key to this transformation and he is the consummate football professional. His work ethic involves an eleven-hour day at the training ground and when not putting the players through their paces he is studying videos of upcoming opponents and making plans with his coaching staff.

Before last Sunday’s game at Ebro (near Zaragoza) he made the players work in tight groups on an artificial pitch to prepare his charges for the match. Many teams in Segunda B play on artificial pitches inside small stadiums. This preparation paid off in the first 15 minutes of the game. Alex Lopez scored a spectacular opener with just five minutes on the clock. Lopez has previously worked with Moreno in Numancia and it took him a while to settle in. However, he is now looking like a constant goal threat and his physical presence in the vanguard of the team is a point of reference for his colleagues. On fifteen minutes Ferran Giner finished off a counter attacking move started by fullback Joan Sastre. Giner retained his place in the starting eleven after a man of the match performance the week before at home to Cornella when he replaced Junior Lago who was serving a one match suspension for his sending off at Alcayano. Giner has recovered from an early season injury and looks set for an extended run in the side.

In the game at home to Cornella, Andy Kohlberg made his first appearance in the director’s box at the Son Moix Stadium in his new role as President of the club. He was warmly greeted by the fans despite fears they may not take to him as a non

Mallorquin figure head. Kohlberg is a former NBA basket ball star and certainly lapped up the applause.

Young Peruvian winger Bryan Reyna, 19, had his contract extended until 2021 following some impressive cameo appearances from the substitutes bench. Reyna has already been scouted by clubs from higher leagues and a new contract means his buy out clause has been substantially increased as the club looks to secure its future assets.

Mallorca have now won 8 out of 9 games with one draw and are 4 points clear of second placed Villareal B who will be the visitors to Palma this Sunday 22nd October and then Mallorca travel to the island of Formentera the following weekend.

Real Mallorca 3-0 Cornella The islanders welcomed Cornella who were expected to provide the stiffest opposition so far this season and this proved to be the case in the first third of the game when they gave as good as they got. However, Ferran Giner opened the scoring on 35 minutes and in truth after that the result was never in doubt. In the second half goals from Abdon Prats and youngster Cano gave the scoreline a deserved appearance. The fans were ecstatic with the brand of football and long may it continue.
