06381
06.381 was the lucky ticket to be holding on Saturday morning as the Christmas Lottery was drawn in the Spanish capital. This particular number was sold in various parts of the country but mostly in the north of Spain. Asturias was especially blessed with winnings in excess of 360million.
The number, considered a low one and not normally popular with lottery buyers, proved the winning ticket for the inhabitants of a remote village of Molledo in the north of Spain. The Residents Association of the town sold more than 400 winning tickets to relatives and friends making the old mining town with just 45 inhabitants the real winner.
The inhabitants said they planned to travel, pay off their mortgages and "see what luxury hotels look like inside". One modest woman said she wanted a food mixer.
Locals hope the win will help the village to survive after years of depopulation. One resident said: "For many people here, this will mean they can retire in the village or open their own business."
The last digit of the winning number also decides the re-integro. People whose ticket ends with a 1 (6.381) will recover the cost of their ticket, although the number one was the least popular chosen of all.
Like every year there were many stories about the lucky and the not so lucky. In the village of Nava, the 77 housewives who make up the local club La Flor de Mayo de Llame have shared millions of Euros. Four families from Estepona were also lucky sharing out 300,000 euros between them, because one of them purchased a winning ticket when on a pensioners outing to Alicante.
José Gadin, a painter who had to retire because he was left injured after falling in an accident at work, at last found a bit of luck. He fortuitously purchased a ticket with the number of the date of the accident 6,381. Diego Munoz from Motril purchased his winning ticket on the very morning of the draw and is now 100,000 euros richer at a time when his assets had just been embargoed following a failed business venture.
However as with all stories of luck, there were also a few tales of woe none more so than the priest in San Lorenzo de Zamora, Jesús Campos, who told local residents he had dreamed the number 6,380 would win. He purchased 30 series of that number and sold participations for 2 euros each across the village. Sundays draw showed he was just one number away, although in the Gordo that does give a small consolation prize.

AROUND THE ISLAND

Strike Date
The taxi strike agreed two weeks ago by all of the associations on the island looks to be going ahead. If no agreement is reached within the next week, there will be only a minimum service available for 24 hours from midnight on New Years Eve. The president of the Ibiza Association, Jose Serafin, said the strike was not intended to cause inconvenience to the public, but was merely taking place to make them aware of the serious problems which were occurring within the sector.
The Taxi Associations are not happy with new plans by the Minister for Transport, Albert Prats, to introduce up to 150 new taxi licences. The main problem concerns with who is to be issued the licences, with the associations claiming they should be exclusively for current holders of licences. This way, they claim, the service can be better controlled.
Prats, however, does not see this system as a fair way of issuing the permits and is determined to allow any drivers, even though they do not hold a current licence, to bid for the authorisation.
Serrafin did reveal a minimum service would be on offer but that would have to be established by the relevant Town Halls. He did add that any driver who did not agree with the strike action would be free to work.

Golf Change
The Consell Insular passed supplementary new legislation on Friday, toughening up the laws on the building of golf courses on the island. The new regulations prohibit the building of hotels or apartments beside future golf courses. The previous regulation (12/1988) allowed a hotel for no more than 450 people to be built alongside the course, as long as it was at least of four-star category and open all-year round.
The new PSOE-run administration made its views clear during the election campaign that it was not in favour of a second course on the island. These latest changes will make it even more difficult for any proposed bid to get the go-ahead. All of the projects currently on the table include the building of a hotel. It is hoped the new legislation will discourage those seeking to build a golf complex, as the lack of any hotel would seriously reduce potential turnover and make the project far less appealing.
There has been talk in recent months of a course being built in San Antonio, whilst the Matutes-backed course in Playa den Bossa is currently being reviewed by specialists at the Consell, although the chance of the project being given the go-ahead during the next four years has been described as slim.

Permission Denied
The Town Halls of San Jose and San Antonio announced at the beginning of the week that in the region of 70 licences had been affected by the new building legislation brought out by the Govern Balear. The new regulation meant both municipalities announcing the suspension of any permits which had not yet received permission. Although this has initially affected around 70 projects (50 in San Jose and 20 in San Antonio), the total amount affected will be much higher as this statistic does not take into consideration the many number of projects which would have been presented over the next few months, and that will now not be presented.
Both municipalities announced the suspension would last for up to a year, until they came up with a new plan for both areas. This plan is being created at the moment and involves the re-classification of all the pieces of land which remain. There are two principal types of land, urbano, which can be built on with very few restrictions, and rustico, which can be built on but requires a great deal more land in order to do so (around 15,000 square metres). However in reality it may be done much quicker than this, and could be ready within six months.

Commissions Trial
The Eivissa Centre commissions trial continued last week with the appearance of two more key witnesses. The case, which began several weeks ago, concerns the supposed payment of illegal commissions to the PSOE-run Town Hall of Ibiza by a construction company in exchange for the Eivissa Centre contract, which consisted of several major building projects within the municipality. The scandal came to light back in March, just weeks before the election, after a tape recording of conversations between the concerned parties was leaked to a local newspaper.
The trial has included appearances from several top politicians on the island including the current mayor of San Jose, Jose Mari Ribas, who was in charge of the project at the time and who remains one of the chief suspects. The first to appear in court was Miquel Mestre, the secretary of the PSIB socialist party, and also a close ally to Roque Lopez, the former socialist leader (FSP party), who is at the centre of the row, having made the accusations. Mestre claimed that a meeting did in fact take place between Antonio Pinal, the president of Brues SA, the construction company accused of making the bribes, Lopez and himself. However, he added, the meeting was to talk about the project in general and commissions were not mentioned at any point. He added that everything done within the socialist party is completely above board and legal.
The second witness to appear on Monday was the ex-secretary of the FSP party who claimed the first he knew about the commissions was when informed by Roque Lopez. He also admitted to having heard part of the tape-recordings, but denied he was the one who had leaked the information to the press.
More witnesses are due to be called over the next few weeks, although the trial is set to last for several months more.

Federation Views
The presidents of the Hotel Federations on the four Balearic Islands met up last week to demand more help in their fight against unlicensed accommodation. Speaking after the meeting in the capital, the president of the Ibiza federation, Roberto Hortensius, claimed the problem was directly affecting his members. He said the situation was simple maths. Every year, he said, the airport report increases of between 7-10 per cent in passenger numbers, whilst the increase in hotel occupation never reaches such levels. The question is, therefore, where do all these extra tourists stay? The answer he suggests is the increasing number of illegal apartments, which are now far easier to rent via the internet. He appealed for help from the authorities in cracking down on this intolerable situation, which was damaging hotels and the image of the island in general.
He also pleaded for more taxi licences to be distributed by the various municipalities, claiming the current situation could not continue. He claimed at least 100 more vehicles were needed during the busiest months.
He also urged the authorities to improve the bus service on the island, adding a direct service was needed from both the port and airport to all the major tourist centres on the island.
His compatriot in Majorca, Alfonso Meaurio, claimed the cost of air travel between the islands and to the peninsula was far too high, and it was actually cheaper to fly from London to Majorca, than from Majorca to Ibiza.
He also pleaded for the promotion of the islands to be done separately, saying they were all very different, each with their own merits. At present most promotion is done under the slogan, Baleares.

Postal Strike
National strike action was announced on Tuesday which affected several post offices on the island. The offices in San Antonio and Santa Eulalia were forced to close on both Thursday and Friday as 100 per cent of the workers lobbied for better pay and working conditions. The situation was not so bad in San Jordi, San Jose and Ibiza Town as all three offices managed to remain open offering the usual services, although with a reduced staff. The action was not supported by one of the major trade unions, CCOO, who said they saw the strike as precipitated and badly timed.

Beetle Invasion
Owners of palm trees were put on red alert last week after the Agriculture Ministry revealed a number of cases of red palm weevil had been discovered in areas of Majorca, Ibiza Town and San Jose. Eight trees were said to be infested close to the airport, which had forced the authorities to remove and burn them.
The red palm weevil is a boring beetle that attacks palm trees with devastating affect. The adult weevil is orange with black spots, and measures from 2-4 cm. in length. It has a typical weevil shape with a long snout. The larva has no legs and measures close to 5 cm.
The biological cycle of the red palm weevil takes place inside the palm tree, and takes a total of around four months. The adult weevil is attracted by the volatile substances that ooze out when palm trees are injured or pruned. The female lays her eggs and, once they have hatched, the resulting larvae bore into the centre of the palm tree, where they eat the living tissue. The adult weevils do not leave the same palm tree if the larvae have sufficient food to feed on. Once they leave the tree, it is completely destroyed.
The symptoms of an infested palm tree can vary, but there is generally irreversible degeneration of the newest leaves. They first begin to hang lifelessly, and within the next few days they completely deteriorate and fall off. As the infestation progresses, the boring of the larvae and the bacterial rot typical of the internal tissue of the palm tree are so serious that they affect the integrity of the crown of palm fronds, which lose their tension and hang limply.
The Ministry is clearly alarmed by the discovery and has warned people, especially those with several trees, to be on the lookout for the effects. Early detection of the attack is difficult because the damage caused by the larvae is generally only visible after prolonged feeding. However according to ministry officials, given the seriousness of the threat of this insect, it is necessary to take decisive action and adopt the best corrective measures, the most effective being to identify infested palm trees, cut them down and destroy them before the adults can spread to other hosts. They were said to be currently inspecting municipal owned trees, and have not ruled out carrying out further searches in private properties.

Hospital Plans
Plans for the new hospital were revealed last week by the director of the National Health Service in the Balearics, Francisco Carceles. The hospital is due to be started next year, although it was revealed that all of the land has yet to be bought. However, negotiations were well under way and would be concluded soon. The new building will contain a total of 300 rooms, 60 per cent of which will be single rooms. However there will be space in all of these rooms for a second bed, taking the total amount of beds to over 400, double the current amount available in Can Misses.
The hospital - hopefully completed by 2011 - will also contain eight operating theatres.
A study into the medical needs of the island has estimated there will be around 170,000 medical cards by the year 2020, an increase of 40,000 from the current amount.

More Schools
The Education Ministry within the Govern Balear is to invest 17.5million over the next four years. Overcrowding in classrooms is currently a big problem within the education system in Ibiza. The Ministry hopes to alleviate this with the construction of several new schools across the island. A new secondary school will be started next month in San Antonio at a cost of 5.7million. A spokesman claimed the project had been delayed due to indecision by the Town Hall, which had first said they wanted two primary schools to be built, but on further reflection they had changed their minds and finally decided the need for another secondary school was far greater.
The primary school, Poeta Villangomez, in Ibiza will also be refurbished and enlarged costing just under 1.2million. A new primary school will also be built in Sa Bodega in Ibiza at a cost of around 2.8million.
The Vara de Rey primary school in San Antonio will also get a re-fit at a cost of 1.4million, as well as l´Urgell in San Jose, Cas Serres in Ibiza Town and es Vedra in San Agustin.
The ministry made it clear that during 2008 other projects could be added to the list, and that the budget was not closed.

Speed Radar
Last week saw the installation of the first fixed speed radar on the island. It is located on the San Antonio-Ibiza road just before the San Rafael tunnel and should be up and running by early next year. A spokeswoman for the Traffic Department on the island, Ana Garcia, revealed they were waiting for the road works to finish before it was made fully operational. At the moment the speed limit on that stretch of road is just 60 kmph due to the continuing work. However it will be increased to 80 kmph when the work is finished. Garcia revealed that speeding was common on this section due to the slight incline of the road and the fact there is still a fair distance until the next roundabout.
She said the radars had been placed there for the safety of road users, and was not a way of making money. For this reason a sign has been erected close to the radar warning drivers they are approaching a monitored area.
She added that two more radars would be installed, one on the Santa Eulalia road, and one on the San Jose road, early next year.

Inspection Increase
The Consell Insular will make over 2,000 official inspections next year, nearly four times the amount carried out in 2007. Previously, inspections have only been made when an opening licence has been requested, modernisation has been undertaken, or a complaint made by clients. However, in 2008 inspections will be random and frequent, according to minister, Joan Serra Mayans. He said the businesses that were legal and continually investing and re-modernising needed to be reassured that they were competing in a fair market. The Consell currently employs five inspectors, and have not ruled out the possibility of contracting more staff.
Restaurants will be the sector most controlled with over half of the inspections. Hotels and apartment complexes will receive 530 visits, with holiday homes (400 visits) and travel agents (100 visits) also carefully monitored.

Petrol Prices
San Juan is the municipality with the cheapest petrol prices according to a recent study. The Repsol station on the C-715 road in San Juan is currently selling unleaded petrol at 1.076 per litre, a saving of exactly 0.036 per litre from the most expensive located on the airport road which is selling unleaded at 1.112. The stations within San Antonio are all fairly similarly priced, whilst those in Santa Eulalia vary slightly, with the petrol station on the San Carlos road the cheapest in the area.
However, Government regulation ensures prices are kept fairly equal and it was calculated the price difference would amount to around half a tank of petrol over a twelve month period for the average motorist.

IBIZA TOWN

Eulalia Options
On Monday the Consell Insular announced they were considering the possibility of three pieces of land for the location of the new water purifier for Ibiza Town. None however are within the municipality, which means months of careful deliberation lie ahead. Although during the press conference they did not mention in which municipalities the preferred sites were located, it was later revealed initial negotiations had already begun with the mayor of Santa Eulalia, Vicent Mari.
The joint statement from the president, Xico Tarres, and the mayor of Ibiza Town, Lurdes Costa, was made after they revealed a suitable piece of land could not be found within the capital. The mayor of Santa Eulalia confirmed he had been contacted by the Consell, who had asked for his help in finding a solution. He refused to give any more details, saying the conversation had been brief. However, he did reveal the initial choices would prove controversial, saying he remained cautious over the possibility of helping out the president, claiming he would do what was best for the people of his municipality.
The current water purifier has been struggling to cope with demand from the capital over the last few years, and the project to build a new one was a top priority of the newly voted in PSOE-party.
The news was followed several days later by a statement from the Councillor for Education at the Town Hall of Ibiza, Irantzu Fernandez, who revealed she would be contacting the authorities in San Jose to talk about the possibility of building a new school close to Playa den Bossa. She said the population in this area had grown considerably over the last ten years and it was now time to offer residents the appropriate services. She added the three pieces of land available within her municipality were all affected by the 1987 noise pollution regulation, as they were all on flight-paths. This left locating the school within the boundaries of San Jose as the only other viable option.

Festive Vandals
Vandals have trashed the nativity scene which had been located in the Parque de la Paz, in Ibiza Town. The incident was discovered on Sunday morning just before 7a.m. when police were alerted to a fire in the area by local residents. On arrival they discovered the platform on which the scene had been created had been set on fire. They were unable to control the flames and the fire brigade had to be called.
The decorative scene had been placed on a platform by the lake in the centre of the park. The life-size wooden figures had been thrown into the water by the vandals. The Town Hall said the figures would have to be sent to a special centre in the capital in order to be repaired, and confirmed they would not be reinstalling the decoration in the park this year.

SAN ANTONIO

Cretu Compensation
In a press conference on Wednesday the mayor of San Antonio, Jose Sala, announced his budget for the coming year. The financial plan, which was formally approved on Thursday, includes 200,000 to demolish the Cretu mansion in Santa Innes. The mayor explained he did not know if this would be enough, as the projects concerning the demolition have not yet been finalised. The mansion, built in the 1990´s on a mountain top in sleepy Santa Innes, has been at the forefront of a political storm with environmentalist groups claiming the property was illegal and had been built on protected land. After years of trials and re-trials, it was eventually ruled the property would have to be demolished. In theory the work will have to be paid for by the Romanian musician, Michael Cretu, who built the mansion and is likely to try and reclaim the money from the Town Hall. A separate case has now begun, with Cretu claiming damages and the cost of the demolition work, because, as he claims, he was given permission by the Town Hall to build the property and the fact that the permit has now been nullified is not his fault. It is a case he is likely to win, and it seems the Town Hall will eventually have to pay him substantial damages. Whether 200,000 will be enough is another question.
The Town Hall will have a budget of 23.63million for 2008, 13 per cent more than this year. However, investment is down 27 per cent to 2.7million, mainly due to the fact that most of the Plan of Excellence, which has been used for the majority of the money over the last few years, is now nearing completion. The bulk of the money (1,165,000) will be spent on buying land for municipal use, and 492,000 will also be spent on the installation of an electric transformer in Can Coix, the site of the new sports centre and kindergarten.
The payroll has also increased by 17.56 per cent to 6.17million. This rise, explained the councillor in charge of the towns coffers, Joan Pantaleoni, was mainly due to the contracting of several more staff members, including five new police officers.
Pantaleoni continued by stressing that the Town Halls debt of 4,571,000 was moderate in comparison to the other institutions, and represented just 23.45 per cent of the total budget for the year.

Police Complaints
Police officers in San Antonio were seen protesting outside the Town Hall of San Antonio on Friday. They are unhappy with new plans by the administration which will prohibit them from taking holidays during the peak summer months. They are also disgruntled about the pay rise which has been suggested by the Town Hall.
However, the councillor in charge, Jose Ramon Serra Pilot, said he could not understand their complaints, and revealed they had been offered ten days more holiday as compensation. He claimed the moves to prohibit them from taking holidays between 15th June and 15th September were necessary to ensure more police were patrolling the streets during the busier months of the year. He continued, saying an agreement had been reached with the Trade Unions and was ready to be signed.
A spokesman for the officers said they were unhappy with the agreement, and would be meeting with the administration directly to try and resolve the problem.

SAN JOSE

Denuncia Made
The father of a Swiss child who was severley injured by a parasol in Cala Vadella this summer is to press charges against the company who currently own the concession to rent the sunbeds and umbrellas. The accident occurred on 13th August, the first day of the familys holiday on the island. Although it was a breezy day, all of the parasols had been set out on the beach, as normal. On this particular stretch there were no bases to the umbrellas and they were simply dug into the sand. As the 14 month old child was lying on the beach, a strong gust of wind took hold of a parasol and hit the girl in the stomach. An ambulance was immediately called. When it eventually arrived, taking over half an hour to do so, it rushed the girl straight to Can Misses. After an initial assessment it was decided to send the injured girl by helicopter to Son Dureta, in Majorca. Despite her serious injuries, ones which the medical staff said could easily have cost her her life, the girl eventually made a full recovery.
The concession is currently owned by the Neighbourhood Association of Cala Vadella, although it is believed they contract out the work to a company to look after the beach.
The fathers lawyer explained he did not understand why on this particular beach there were not proper bases for the parasols, and the fact they had far more than their concession permits.
He also made an appeal to witnesses who saw the accident to make themselves known, in case the case does eventually have to go to court.

SANTA EULALIA

More Money
The 2008 municipal budget of Santa Eulalia will rise by 24 per cent next year, the mayor revealed last weekend. Vicent Mari will have a total of 29,195,605 at his disposal for the coming year, 7,500,000 of which will be spent on investments within the municipality, 35.4 per cent more than last year. This money will be spent on a variety of projects, most of which concern an improvement to the current ailing infrastructure.
975,000 will go towards improving the sewage system, 375,000 on upgrading the access to the sports centre and 120,000 on improving public walkways. These are just some of the projects which it is hoped will get underway next year.
The wage bill at the Town Hall will also rise by 34 per cent, after it was revealed the authorities had contracted four more police officers.
The Town Hall will be forced to borrow around 1,700,000 to ensure all of the projects can go ahead, but the Councillor for the Economy, Pedro Mari, claimed there was nothing to worry about, and that debt levels would be easily manageable at less than 20 per cent.

CRIME & INCIDENTS

Road Death
Last week a Spanish driver became the 14th fatality on the roads of Ibiza during 2007, after an accident on the San Juan road close to the restaurant, Can Coronas. The incident occurred just before 2p.m. as the man drove to pick up his grand-daughter from school. His daughter was in the passenger seat at the time, and was badly injured in the accident. It appears the victim, driving a Fiat Punto, lost control of the car due to the wet conditions at the time. Although this part of the road is very straight and visibility was good, neighbours often complain that the road is extremely dangerous when wet. The out-of-control vehicle was subsequently struck in the side by an Audi A100, whose driver was also taken to hospital. The fire service had to be called and both the deceased man and his daughter had to be cut from the vehicle. The 63 year old victim died at the scene, whilst his daughter was rushed to Can Misses with a broken femur and elbow, as well as serious head injuries. Her condition was described as very serious. The 56 year old driver of the Audi suffered minor injuries, although he remained in hospital for several days.

Escape Attempt
The prisoner who tried to escape from his cell in Ibiza by tying sheets together and using them to climb down a wall has received an additional three month prison sentence. The incident, which took place last July, ended with the man being detained by prison guards as he tried to scale an outer wall. In the arrest he struck one of the guards in the face.
The man, who is serving a sentence for various offences of violent robbery, used the fabled Hollywood method to make his escape and lower himself down the three-metre wall. However, he was soon spotted by guards and recaptured.

Botafoch Attack
A man lay seriously injured in hospital after being attacked outside a bar in Marina Botafoch last week. The incident occurred in the early hours of Friday morning. According to a witness of the attack the man had been in the Bar Izay with a female companion. He had been irritating other clients inside the bar and turned irate and aggressive outside of the establishment, it is believed, because of jealousy. He then assaulted the woman, who then went in and told clients still in the bar what had happened. Four men quickly left the bar and attacked the man in the street leaving him unconscious. Another customer in the bar called the emergency services.
On arrival the ambulance took the injured man to Can Misses, but he was speedily transferred, after medical consultation, to the special cranial injuries department in the private Vilas hospital. He was immediately taken to the intensive care department where doctors said his injuries were extremely serious, although his life was not in any danger.
Police were investigating the incident and had visited the injured when he was in Can Misses, although he was still unconscious. At the time of going to press the investigation was continuing, although no arrests had so far been made.

NEWS FROM THE MAINLAND

Macro-Trial
Forty-seven members of ETA-linked terrorist groups were sentenced to a total of more than 500 years in prison by Spain's high court on Wednesday, after one of the longest trials of its type seen in the country. The trial, which began back in November 2005, is part of the Governments crackdown on organisations linked to the terrorist group. Those convicted belonged to groups such as EKIN and KAS, which performed tasks including conducting international relations for ETA. The sentences handed out totalled over 525 years in prison, with the majority (31 in total) receiving up to 20 years in prison for belonging to a terrorist organisation. The trial heard testimonies from leading members of organisations which the judge ruled to be the ''heart and entrails'' of ETA.
The sentence, read out by Judge Angela Murillo, said that the KAS and EKIN organisations were ordered by the ETA leadership to maintain pressure in periods of truce, or while negotiations were taking place with the government, and said they were not merely satellite organisations which gave support to ETA. She described KAS as the groups vitally important media front. EKIN, formerly known as KAS, was described as part of the heart of the group and not a distant satellite organisation. The court concluded the activities of these groups were directed towards creating an '''accumulation of forces''' to support ETA's activities.
Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's six month attempt at peace talks collapsed a year ago, when ETA violated its ceasefire with a car bombing that killed two people in terminal four at Madrid airport. The group officially ended its 14 month ceasefire in June. However, just recently, ETA members were suspected to be involved in the shooting and killing of two Spanish police officers in Southern France.

FINANCIAL NEWS

Inflation Answer
The vice-president of the current PSOE-run Government, Pedro Solbes, has defended his partys economic policies, and claimed the current inflation problem has been caused by the fact that most people living in Spain have not yet grasped the true value of the euro. The high rates of inflation over the past year (monthly figures have regularly soared to over 4 per cent) have been put down to inflating fuel and food costs.
However, Solbes has suggested the real problem is that residents have yet to understand the real value of the new currency. He claimed this undervaluation had meant they were spending far more than they intended to, slowly pushing prices up. He used an example of clients in a bar regularly leaving 20 centimes in tips, not realising this is in fact worth 32 pesetas. However he said the situation was slowly being brought under control and by March the rate would be below 3 per cent.
However, his claims were denied by the opposition party who said the problems had been caused simply by poor management of the economy.

Economic Growth
The economy of the island will continue its strong growth next year, according to figures released by the Confederation of Balearic Businesses (CAEB). The economy is predicted to increase by 3.1 per cent in 2008, which would follow a 3.4 per cent increase this year. The positive news for the current year has been achieved on the back of continued growth in the tourist sector, by far the biggest component to the positive figures. The construction industry also contributed to the figures, despite a slow down compared to 2006. The positive numbers helped increase employment on the island by 3.4 per cent and the number of new businesses by 4.2 per cent.
The number of visitors to the island also increased this year by 13 per cent, with both air travellers (7.3 per cent) and sea passengers (6 per cent) up. Their annual spend also increased by 14.4 per cent, helped by an increase in tourists visiting the island aboard cruise ships of 13.2 per cent.
The only area to suffer within the Balearics as a whole was the industrial sector which barely grew in comparison to the previous year due to its inability to compete on the global market, thanks, in part, to a weak dollar.
