RESULTS OF THE MEETING:

...the meeting  apart from  some technical hic-cups was well attended given the present circumstances. In a way the present circumstances are more difficult than they were in 2000 – the present governments (Spain and Catalunya) are concealing their intentions in the small print regarding the transferring  of more water from the River Ebro to Castellon, Valencia, Barcelona and Tarragona etc. etc. Consequently it is, maybe, more difficult to inspire the people to attend PDE meetings and demonstrations – now. But – we will see – you never know in life. And also it depends on the PDEs flexibility in ways to inspire and communicate to the folk of the Lands of the Ebro – the urgency of the situation! It was announced in the Assemblia that  we will have a Demonstration in Barcelona on 30th May 2010 with the support of important ecological organizations.

Hello Editor of The Olive Press,

                                                                 Firstly, I wish to congratulate you and your team on your readable magazine – jam packed  with all sorts of goodies. My friend Brid (“Journey” therapist) told me about  it – and so off I went to ferr. Garcia for a copy.

                                                                  I am sending you the English version of the letter to the editor published in Catalan last Friday  in La Veu de L’Ebre. The Plataforma en Defensa de L’Ebre has its  Assemblia  on 20th of this month and it is important that as many people come as possible – including English speaking – that is why I am sending this letter to you now!

                                                                  All the very best with “The Olive Press”.

Bronson Shaw

 Assemblia of the PDE  in Tortosa – 20th February!

“ NO  OPTIONS - EBRENCS  I EBRENCAS” – BACK TO THE STREETS!

Today I  met  Manel  Olle in Tortosa. He said  he will never forget (because it is engraved in his memory) the great uprising of the people of the Lands of the  Ebro in defense of the river and its delta.
I replied -  “ I believe it is the responsibility of the people through whose territory flows a great river  to defend  and care for it”. “ If we do not act. what are we going to leave to our children and grandchildren and future generations “– he responded.
Hanging on the wall of my studio, I still have the great inspirational drawing of Frederic  Mauri   “Ex-Libris – Plataforma  en Defensa de L’Ebre” – with Lo Nus  hovering over the River Ebro which is  flowing  through the Delta – from the Mayor calendar of 2006. If ever there was a drawing to inspire us to continue our struggle  and insist, insist and continue to insist on our “right” to have a “cabal minim” for the River Ebro, this is it!
But there is more – below the drawing ,are these words by Manel Olle –
“Homenatge a la Plataforma  en Defensa de L’Ebre,
que s’esforca i treballa per  a que
guanye el sentit comu i la justicia
I es puga evitar la pillastrada
de l’espoliacio del riu ja prou malmes ara
i al mateix temps, salvar el Delta magnific,
Pero d’una fragilitat extraordinaria.”

Manel  has put into words, into a poem, what  we all know intuitively, that  the magnificient Delta is extraordinarily  fragile and it totally depends on the River Ebro for its survival. That is why we are demanding from the responsible administrations  a “cabal minim” for its survival!
But they don’t give it – why  not?  Ah- they say – it all depends on the demand for water. What is the implication  behind  these words? The implication is the selling of the water. The further implication is that the responsible administrations and  governing bodies  of Catalunya and Spain primarily regard the River Ebro  as a supply of cheap primary energy (water) to the cities and areas which they favour  in detriment  to The Lands of the Ebro. Plus the fact that by controlling the water  (through travases) they   sell the water and obtain great benefits. In other words they treat the people of the Lands of the Ebro as “tontos” , as dumb  animals ready and willing to go to the slaughter!  You think I am exagerating ? - we only have to look at Tarragona – and see  its expansion thanks to very  cheap water from the Ebro.i Look, it’s obvious, if our local politicians don’t put the defense of their  territory  in front of their political obligations – AND  THEY HAVE NOT – AND  THEY WILL NOT-  then we have “to take the bull by the horns”  and  DEMONSTRATE  IN THE  STREETS. We say that the  ecological survival of the river and delta  must come first before any  demand for water for  new residential, industrial  or recreational  developments  etc etc. 
So, where is the meeting point  between these two points of view.  There is no meeting point – after  years and years of presentations by hydraulic experts insisting that the Ebro and Delta need a minimum amount of water to survive and therefore  a “cabal minim” has to be stipulated “ officially” – the water authorities and governments of Catalunya and Spain continue going their own way and to hell with the  ecological survival of Spain’s and  of course Catalunya’s  greatest river and its delta! The PDE in its presentations  has always been polite and I am trying to be polite, but there comes a point when you are dealing with certain people that stronger words are far more appropriate.
The message , loud and clear from the authorities that we have been  and still are appealing to is “Fuck you and your demands for a cabal minim and Fuck the Lands of the Ebro  because this  territory means nothing to Catalunya”. At the  Reunion Informativo  on 9th January  at the Cambra de Comerc  en Tortosa  Manolo Tomas explained in his  “no pulling the punches” speech, this fundamental confrontation,  far  more eloquently than I have  done. After his “explanation of the situation” there were no questions  -  no questions were needed – all was clear  - clear  as the cold  sweat on the brow of a person condemned to death.
We have to act – “ebrencs and ebrencas” , “flamencs who went to Brussells”, the call is out  - men and women, grandmothers and grandfathers and  teenagers, we have to organize and massively attend  demonstrations  wherever  needed.  Once again we have to fight for our territory – the Lands of the Ebro – to defend our river and delta and demand our legitimate right to a “cabal minim”.
Wherever  we have to go – we will go there!
The “Nus” is  prepared – see you at the Assemblia of the PDE  in Tortosa – 20th February!

All Angles Short Story Collection

Catalonia’s growing English language literary scene will take another step forward in the next year with plans for a collection of short stories in English, with Catalan translations, to be published by Arola Editors of Tarragona. This is being co-ordinated by Paul Connell, organiser of the Tarragona writers group ‘All Angles’ in conjunction with other writers groups in Catalonia. There are now established groups for writers in Girona, Barcelona and Tarragona.

‘We are looking for short fictional stories in English, between 1500 and 3500 words,’ said Paul, ‘on any subject or theme but with some Catalan connection in its setting, characters or plot. We want to illustrate the diversity of styles and approaches to writing in English in Catalonia and also the range of ways in which the short story format can be used; from a mini-novel with its own story arc to a miniaturist portrait of an incident or moment. We’d like to have the book on the market in time for St Jordi 2011.’

The submission requirements and all details will be posted on the All Angles group website at http://webfacil.tinet.org/allangles . Stories should be submitted by the end of May 2010.

square and compass

Background to the Square & Compass Club of Spain

The Club was formed on the 24th April 2006 by a group of 6 retired freemasons. The concept is based on the American High Twelve and Square and Compass Clubs, which were formed for American Servicemen, who were Freemasons serving in a foreign country away from their homeland, and as such this idea was adopted for the Square and Compass Club of Spain. Contrary to the views of some, Freemasonry is not a secret society but a society with secrets, but during the last 5 to 6 years Freemasonry has been encouraged to show more openness and transparency.

Most of our members have retied to Spain, but still retain their links with fellow Masons in the UK, practising the same principles. Charity has always been at the forefront, being ever mindful of the needs of others less fortunate.

Our membership currently stands at 40, and continues to grow in strength, with Dutch, German, Spanish and British, making it a cordial and diverse membership. The Club is conducted without the formality of Lodge proceedings, but still retaining masonic ideals for those who treasure their masonic values without compromise.

Everyone, unlike at formal Lodge meetings, plays a much valued and essential part of the clubs success with great enthusiasm and input. We all meet every month for lunch, at different restaurants, to enjoy valued communication, and enjoyable social company. During these luncheons we hold raffles, book sales and give all our loose change to a ‘copper pot’ - all generously donated by Masons, non masonic friends and guests alike.

This has enabled the Square and Compass Club of Spain to make a donation of a 1000 euros to our selected charity, a much needed new Day Centre in Benicarlo, for local people (Benicarlo, Alcala de Xivert, Vinaroz, Calig and Peniscola) affected by cerebral damage.

Reverse osmosis alone is not enough to insure that the water in your home is safe for drinking. If you put a reverse osmosis filter in your fish tank, your fish would become ill and probably die. If you have fish, you know that carbon filtration systems are needed to protect them. So, why would you drink water that your fish cannot live in?

ARE YOU HAPPY WITH YOUR CHILDREN’S SCHOOL

ARE YOU HAPPY WITH YOUR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION IN THE CATALAN SYSTEM?

Many families arrive from English speaking countries, without the slightest idea that their children will be taught in Catalan. Some of their parents only intend to spend a couple of years here for business, work placement and then are sent back to the U.K, U.S or other European countries..

THIS IS A HUGE HANDICAP FOR PARENTS WHO ARE USED TO HELPING AND ENCOURAGING THEIR CHILDREN’S SCHOOL WORK.

So, where does that leave us foreigners?, whose children would be at a complete loss in an English, Swedish, German school, where the English language is given a much higher priority.

Why do we not consider the fact that in Barcelona there are at least five International schools. Here in Tarragona nothing. WE NEED INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS FOR OUR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION. English is the most spoken second language in the world as well as the MOST REQUIRED LANGUAGE WORLDWIDE to work, do business, study at University.

IT’S TIME TO REACT BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. THE COSTA DORADA NEEDS AN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL. The plans can be made, contacts and negotiations have begun but: WE NEED NAMES. INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS have to be viable.

IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR CHILDRENS’S EDUCATION CALL US AND VOICE YOUR IDEAS, OPINIONS. LOOK AT MALLORCA FOR AN EXAMPLE, WHERE PARENTS FOUGHT AND ACHIEVED AN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL. THERE ARE NOW 500 STUDENTS. THIS MUST BE FOR A GOOD REASON.....

Potential Investors and/or Interested Parents of children aged 3-18 wanted for an International School Project in the Salou/Cambrils area. The school will be for children of all nationalities using an officially recognised international curriculum.

Please contact the English secretary urgently on: 977 17 20 27

ARE YOU HAPPY WITH YOUR CHILDREN’S SCHOOL

ARE YOU HAPPY WITH YOUR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION IN THE CATALAN SYSTEM?

Many families arrive from English speaking countries, without the slightest idea that their children will be taught in Catalan. Some of their parents only intend to spend a couple of years here for business, work placement and then are sent back to the U.K, U.S or other European countries..

THIS IS A HUGE HANDICAP FOR PARENTS WHO ARE USED TO HELPING AND ENCOURAGING THEIR CHILDREN’S SCHOOL WORK.

So, where does that leave us foreigners?, whose children would be at a complete loss in an English, Swedish, German school, where the English language is given a much higher priority.

Why do we not consider the fact that in Barcelona there are at least five International schools. Here in Tarragona nothing. WE NEED INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS FOR OUR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION. English is the most spoken second language in the world as well as the MOST REQUIRED LANGUAGE WORLDWIDE to work, do business, study at University.

IT’S TIME TO REACT BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. THE COSTA DORADA NEEDS AN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL. The plans can be made, contacts and negotiations have begun but: WE NEED NAMES. INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS have to be viable.

IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR CHILDRENS’S EDUCATION CALL US AND VOICE YOUR IDEAS, OPINIONS. LOOK AT MALLORCA FOR AN EXAMPLE, WHERE PARENTS FOUGHT AND ACHIEVED AN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL. THERE ARE NOW 500 STUDENTS. THIS MUST BE FOR A GOOD REASON.....

Potential Investors and/or Interested Parents of children aged 3-18 wanted for an International School Project in the Salou/Cambrils area. The school will be for children of all nationalities using an officially recognised international curriculum.

Please contact the English secretary urgently on: 977 17 20 27

Reverse osmosis alone is not enough to insure that the water in your home is safe for drinking. If you put a reverse osmosis filter in your fish tank, your fish would become ill and probably die. If you have fish, you know that carbon filtration systems are needed to protect them. So, why would you drink water that your fish cannot live in? A better choice is a combination purification process, available from only a few companies.

A BIT OF ENGLISH ON THE RADIO.


“FROM MY POINT OF VIEW” on the Cala Radio 107.3


I don’t know if any other town or village in the Tarragona province has any sort of local radio programme broadcast in English. I suspect that no-one in other towns or villages in the Tarragona province knows that we have one here in l’Ametlla de Mar.


“From My Point of View” isn’t just a programme for the British or the English speaking ex pats. And it isn’t just in English.

We are trying a bit of an experiment. We are trying to bring British people who live or visit here together with local people – be they Catalan or Spanish. And vice-versa. We try to take a look at various aspects of cultural activity and we try to see what similarities and differences there are when looked at from a British, a Catalan and a Spanish point of view.

I try and keep some sort of order about the whole thing.

So, hopefully, even if you only have a smattering of Catalan or Spanish, or if you are Catalan or Spanish and only have a smattering of English, you should be able to follow the general gist of each programme.


So far we have looked at choral singing – with the help of Tony the leader of “The Decibels”; a choir that sings mainly in English but that now sees itself as multinational. Vic, a British member of both The Decibels and the Ametlla choir, joined us in the studio with Joan Marc, a well known Ametlla musician, and Natalia, a local Catalan who has no music training and no fear about singing when she feels like it.


Football was fascinating. Although we had “Tío Jepus” an ex pro who once actually scored against his beloved Barcelona – the emphasis was on how the supporters view the whole theatre that is modern football. We talked from how we admire the magnificent skills on show through to how we despise the money that seems to swilling about within clubs, while fans have to fork out a relative fortune to follow their team.


“Gastronomy” – there’s got to be discussion here. “Chicken Tikka Masala” compared with “Seitó amb Amanida.” Then there is “The Press.” “The Health Service.”

They have to be interesting in whatever language.


If you don’t live in l’Ametlla, you can listen online via the Town Hall website. (Google “l’ametlla de mar” then enter through “El Portal Oficial” and click on “La Cala Ràdio.”)


It is a new venture for us here in l’Ametlla de Mar and we need both input and feedback.


If you have any thoughts and experiences about the way we do things differently from them and the way they do things differently from us (whoever the “us & them” are from your point of view) – let us know at pointofview@ametllamar.cat in English, and puntdevista@ametllamar.cat in Catalan or Spanish.


We have another couple of programmes before the change of timetable for the summer. Then we are back again in September.


So, please, listen in on the next couple of Fridays at 8 and 10 in the evening, then let us know your thoughts and ideas.


LATEST NEWS: English on local Catalan radio

•Have you ever thought “how do the Catalans and Spanish think?”
“Do they think differently from the British?”
And if they do – “has it got anything to do with our different cultures?”
◊◊
We’ll be taking a look at a few aspects of culture from British, Catalan and Spanish points of view.
And on top of all that, you can improve your level of Catalan and Spanish.
◊◊◊
We’ll be taking a cultural look at Football and Food - Classrooms and Choirs.
◊◊◊◊
We began on May the 8th looking at choral singing. Victor – a member of the local l’Ametlla choir - and Toni, leader of the “Decibels” – a choir that sings mainly in English, and has three or four people from l’Ametlla de Mar among its singers, gave us the British point of view.
“From My Point of View” on the Cala Radio 107.3 at 8pm & 10pm on Friday evenings.
A radio programme in English, Catalan and Spanish.
