Through yourmagazinemay I introducemyself to the area:
I am Fr. Carlos Ferrero, the Roman Catholic (Latin) Parish
Priest of St. Pauls Catholic Parish Paphos, an area that
includes Polis, Latchi, Argaka, and the surrounding areas.
Incidently, the Parish also includes Pissouri and its
surrounding areas.
The Roman Catholic Community is active and working in the
area. We have a Mass every saturday at 6pm in St. Dimitri's
and you can find this by turning left when coming out of Polis
just past the Army Barracks. I have asked my assistant Fr.
Jim Kennedy to look after this Mass and to be responsible for
any weddings, funerals, baptisms, sick calls, and the other
pastoral support a Priest usually gives in an area. Fr. Jim
Lives inArgaka and can be contacted on 99793169.
You can find out about the whole parish, including the work
on St. Michael's Hospice on www.stpauls-catholic-parish-
paphos.com
Thank you for your help
Fr. Carlos Ferreo.
At your service for 10 Years
Are you dismayed by the ugly graffiti that is appearing on
road signs and former blankwalls?
One of the things that originally impressed me about
Cypruswas the lack of this juvenile practice.
From what is being written, it is obvious to me who these
culprits are and should also be to the authorities who
need to clamp down on this problem before it gets any
worse. Perhaps the offenders could be made to clean up
the mess and if he/she is a football fan, be made to forfeit
their membership or be banned from games? It certainly
should not be down to the taxpayer to be responsible for
these cleaning bills.
Cyprus is becoming a tatty dirty place and is being
noticed by our visitors. I would urge everyone to respect
this beautiful island and other people’s property.
Yours sadly
Shirley Spratley

Many,many years ago, when I tookmy baby steps intothe art world, I opened my own small gallery. Mythoughts were almost sublime in that I wanted to setout and help struggling artists andmake them famous.However, the very first exhibition verged on theridiculous.
In my complete ignorance of these things, I was notaware that for decades and decades, the Red Dotsignified . This means that whenever you walkinto a gallery anywhere on earth, you will be able toseewhat has been sold andwhat is still on offer.
I toiled and planned and sent out all the invitations towhomsoever I thought might be interested. Thepaintings were hung, large labels painstakinglyhandwritten. On the day, the wine and finger-food,flowers and glasses were all in place, music playingsoftly in the background. My husband was pacing,worried that not a soul would arrive. He need not haveworried. The attendancewas great, enormous interestwas shown in everything that was on display, the winewas glugged and the food munched. The room andcourtyard were abuzz with the sound of visitorshappily chattering. I was asked when the next
exhibition would be staged and just about every visitorsigned the visitors’ book. Photographs were taken inpreparation for the next event’s write-up in the mediaand people happilywaved goodbye aroundmidnight.
I was stunned – not a single solitary sale! Yet, therewas enormous interest in many of the pieces. It wassomething I simply did not understand; why did no-onebuy?
Some ten days later I met up with one of the visitors tothe exhibition and she opened an ice cold fireman’shose in my face. She commented on what a fabulousexhibition I put on and –wow! – every last piece sold!I must have gone white, looking at her questioningly.“Red dots,” she said, “the red dots were everywhere!”Ahh… that was when it dawned on me that you neverused red dots as labels…avaluable lesson learned.
The thing that bothers me, however, is the absenceof red dots at exhibitions in Cyprus. Very often, insmall galleries or open studios, not a red dot is insight. When you look closer, you might see the word“Sold” written on a label … if there is a label.

Rescue Dog - RescuedRescue Dog - RescuedBy Ann MilnerBy Ann MilnerTed is our two and a half year old dog. He’d been foundwandering in theAkamas area by aGerman ladywho calledhim teddy Bear – a fluffy, cuddly black and tan puppy. Weduly adopted him through theAnimal rescueGroup.
Most dayswe take him to theArgaka dam,where he loves to
run and swim in the
reservoir. On 1 June, as
usual, Ted was happily
running around chasing
lizards when he suddenly
disappeared. To our
dismay, he’d lost his
footing and fell down a
sheer drop on the cliff side
and landed approximately
thirty feet down on a
narrow ledge and could
not move either up or
down.
Luckily, he was unhurt, just extremely shocked and very
frightened. We desperately tried to get to him but it was
totally impossible. I stayed where he could seemewhile my
husband went for help. He drove to The Fly Again to ask
Yiannis if he knew of any
s o r t o f r e s c u e
service.George ( the
architect doing some
work there) very kindly
rang the Pol is Fire
B r i gade who came
immed i a t e l y t o t h e
location. They expertly absailed down to Ted, harnessed
himandwinched him to safety –what a relief!
We cannot express our gratitude enough to the fire officers
(Seargant Christakis Tsielepos, firemen Andreas
Gerolemou and Charalambos Charalambous, auxillary
fireman Christakis siderenios) for their speed, compassion
and professionalism in rescuing our belovedTed.
st
To show our appreciation, along with Yiannis, we are
organising a charity event at The Fly Again for the Fire
Brigade Benevolent Fund on Wednesday 6 July. There
will be a fun quiz (teams of 4-6), bingo and a choice of
meal for just €8. Tickets are available at The FlyAgain.

Creating Your Own Pot-Pourri GardenCreating Your Own Pot-Pourri GardenBy Sandra DobsonBy Sandra Dobson
What images come to mind when you hear the
words ‘pot-pourri? Do you think of shoddy
Christmas arrangements that are often still on the
reduced shelf in the shops in April, or dried up
offerings in the corner of an elderly aunt’s sitting-
room? Well forget all that nonsense – think rather of
a magnificent mixture of beautiful petals and leaves,
with a bright sweet scented presence that just draws
visitors towards it when they enter your room. It’s
not difficult for you to add such an arrangement to
your ownhome thatwill last until next year.
There is a long-standing tradition of drying scented
flowers and aromatic herbs for sweetening the air.
There are many historic books from the 17th and
18th centuries which include a large variety of
recipes for scented powders and ‘perfumes’ as pot-
pourri was better known then. Indeed, Mrs. Gaskell
when creat ing ‘Cranford’ wrote, “Rose-
leaves….were gathered even as they fell to make
into a pot-pourri for someone who had no garden.”
Later the term as we know it became more common
- in the 19th century we learn that it comes from the
name of a Spanish stew olla podrida (meaning
literally ‘rotten-pot’), later still the French translation
came tomeananymedley ormixture.
Well where does this leave us? Clearly, you could
create your own pot-pourri garden, large or just a
small corner, or even a few pots which would give
you all you need to make your pot-pourri. Perhaps
you have some of the plants already and just need a
fewmore tomake your collection complete.
If you wished to create a small garden of your own, I
would envisage a sheltered or enclosed area,
square in shape with small beds in each corner,
almost triangular in shape but rounded off, this
would give you beds in the shape of a quarter of a
circle. In themiddle, a small circular island bed. In
this way you could walk around the little garden and
be surrounded by scents of the flowers and herbs.
Of course if you didn’t want to go to the trouble of
creating a new garden, pots could be arranged in
this design, perhaps with a chair or two where you
could sit and enjoy the sights, sounds and scents of
this little paradise. The plants you will need would
include some of the following:- Lavender,
Rosemary, Myrtle, Pinks, Coriander, Iris, Rose,
Lemon Verbena, Pelargonium (peppermint
scented), Pineapple Sage, Chamomile, Thyme,
andJasmine to name just a few. (I have just put to
common names here, if you would like the Latin, just
send me an email). Once you have your plants
established, it is an easy matter to create the pot-
pourri which I really believe you will find a really
rewarding and creative experience.
You will need three cups of dried rose petals, two
cups of mixed dried flowers, 15ml of dried lavender,
and one cup of mixed dried herbs e.g. mint,
marjoram, and thyme. 5ml of cloves 2.5ml ground
allspice, 10ml of ground orris root and 5-10 drops of
rose essential oil. To dry the plant material, pick
everything on a dry day. Spread out on newspaper
and leave in a warm, airy place (this must be out of
direct sunlight) for 5-7 days, until papery to the
touch. To make the pot-pourri, combine all the
ingredients, and mix thoroughly then put them in an
airtight container. Leave in a dry, warm place for 2-3
weeks, shaking the container occasionally Your
results will be startlinglymore beautiful andwith a far
more pleasant fragrance than anything you could
possibly buy in a shop. Enjoy, and if you do create
your own personal pot-pourri, please do let me and
the other readers know, I would love to hear about
your efforts.
If you need to discuss any information in any of these
articles, please do speak to Neil - he is always
happy to visit you and discuss your garden needs.
Do take care, and if you have any questions or
queries, please do not hesitate to contactmeat:-

“The Lord is patient with you,
not wanting anyone to perish,
but everyone to come to repentance..”
It was with his word
It was with his word
It was with His same
word
It is with his word
Recently, as I handed amanaChristian calendar, he
said tome,
“but I’m a communist. I am not sure if I believe in
God.”
What a joy to be able to tell him that –Godbelieves in
communists! Not only that, but also that He loves
them, and is patiently waiting for them to come to
repentance and receive his salvation from
destruction.
I do not knowwhat your situation beforeGod is.

a new-ageworshipper
..... or something else.
But I knowwhatGod’s situationwith you is.
He loves you,
He’swaiting for you,
Hewants to give you new life
.....and thenHis Son, Jesus, is going
to come for you and bring you to him in heaven
The context of the words of God at the beginning of
this article are interesting. Read it for yourself in 2
Peter 3:3-9. There God says that there will be many
scofferswhowill say,
“Where is this coming ofChrist that He promised?”
Yes, Jesus has promised that
Hewould comeback to
take His people with Him to heaven (John 14:1-3).
Will He keep His word? Nowwe are 2000 years later
andHehasn’t come yet!Will He really come?
God’s Word is sure. that He
created the world we live in.
that He destroyed it in a flood.
thatHe declared that therewill be
“a judgement and destruction of ungodlymen.”
that He saidChrist would return.
Why the slowness to keep His word? Oh, it is not
slowness....it is patience.
It is he is waiting for. He doesn’t want to
perish in the judgement to come. He’s waiting for
to repent beforeHim.

Next month: Still at Sea, More Activities, PlainClothes Security Police, Seasick Pills
Tales from the Grand Dining Room, Another Day at
Sea, The Bridge Room,
Drinks with the Brits on Board, Thanksgiving
After a busy afternoon, we have decided to eat in the
Grand Dining Room tonight. We have to get dressed up
for this restaurant, I wash my hair, we finish off the Pink
Champagne, check out the excursions on the t.v. in our
room and at 6.45 we are ready to eat. Out of the lift, and
looking very glam, we receive some wolf whistles (well,
sort of) and another lady on her own steps out of the lift at
the same time, she is called Janice and comes from
Australia.
Wehave tried sharing tables before.One timeour sharers
disappeared before we got to the table, another time we
watched four shares at another table and it was like
looking at desperate couples who did not have a word to
say to each other, but June, being the spontaneous
person she is, asks Janice if she wants to sit at our table.
When the wine waiter comes to take our order, we say the
usual, and he brings the wrong wine, so we send it back,
but our new friend Janice says, no thanks I have already
drunkmy supply inmy room.Weorder ourwine and have
a lovely meal, and a jolly conversation. After she has
interrogated us, we hear about her.After her stories about
the ship, we are now watching every guest/passenger to
see if they are either Israeli secret service, Egyptian
assassins, or Egyptian secret police, or maybe there is
even an FBI agent on board, since Janice tells us there
must be a high profile Jewish person on board, so it is all
getting very baffling knowingwho iswho.At least we know
who we are. The lady turns out to be loony. We must be
careful to avoid her in the future. Maybe sharing is not
such a good thing.We go off to bed late. We have another
full day at sea tomorrow.
We are still cruising the Gulf of Aden around Somalia and
Yemen andwe are still in the area reknown for pirates.We
are still watching out for them but we have not yet seen
any, just a few tankers here and there. The sea is anything
but calm today, the weather is sunny but very windy. I go
into the Fitness Centre but the treadmill is rocking along
with thewaves and it proves difficult to keepmybalance.
On the pool deck, towels, headgear and everything else is
blowing in the wind. We have breakfast on the back deck,
but the passengers MUST BE KEPT OCCUPIED at any
cost, so Dottie the cruise director is on the tannoy the
whole day announcing various activities which start at
8.30am and go on until 11pm. The ship is a sort of sailing
ClubMed.
June goes off to the computer room to do Adobe
Photoworkshop and I go and play duplicate bridge (for
prizes).My partner wins some fridgemagnets. The bridge
room is fascinating for peoplewatching.Wehave a bridge
director (Patty), who is married to Marty, and whom we
have to call for any umpiring, of which there is a lot. We
have 12 tables of 4 at each table and we are playing
duplicate bridge.As anAustralian passenger remarked to
me later: one would think they were playing for Sheep
Stations, it was all so serious. Married couples ended up
shouting at each other, and Patty often had to sort out
arguments. Scores and points were kept, and the results
were entered into the ship’s bridge logbook in order of
success, so that everyone could see how well or how
badly you had played. Therefore, the stakeswere high.
Back to the computer room to type out today’s logbook
and tonight we meet up with the other Brits on board for
drinky poos.
Today is Thanksgiving, so it is turkey, turkey and only
turkey on the menu throughout the day. For example,
breakfast was Eggs Benedict with turkey bacon, lunch
was Turkey flapjacks, turkey boullabaise, and it will be
roast turkey tonight.
Drinks with the Brits was a washout. One Canadian
turned up because his father was born in the U.K., David
and hisAmericanwife who live inWisconsin andwho kept
laughing at his own jokes, and then there were the two of
us.
After a lovely dinner of Roast Turkeywith all the trimmings
and someconvivial conversation it was time to turn in.

The summer has arrived at last but the sun can damage your
hair if you don’t look after it. Here are a few tips to follow:
Remember washing your hair too often
will make you lose its natural oils and thus make it dry. Use a
good shampoo and conditioner for your hair type. If you have
frizzy or unruly hair, use an intense conditioner.
Don’t
blow dry your hair every time. Let it dry naturally a few times
so that it doesn’t get burned.
If you
straighten your hair often use a heat protection sprays or
creams before you straighten it so that your hair doesn’t get
heat damage.
1. Wash and condition every other day, or for some just
two times a week.
2. Get your hair trimmed at least every 5 to 6 weeks.
3. If you have coloured hair use a shampoo made for
coloured hair and buy a hair protection cream.
4. When your hair is wet, comb it
with a wide-toothed comb.
5. From the inside.
6. Zinc is also vital for healthy hair and nails
Pedicures
Aqua Clothing
This puts less stress on the hair than
using a fine combor brush.
If you suffer fromgreasy hair use a
comb rather than a brush, Brushes,
particularly stiff ones, can over
stimulate the sebaceous glands on the
scalp,making the hair greasier.
Very fewpeople realise
that your hair is actually a good indication
of howhealthy you are. If you reallywant
that extra healthy sheen for your hair and that extra zing,
then you must eat lots of protein, Meat and eggs are good
sources of protein. If you are a vegetarian, the best source is
soya or other pulses.
many
chemists now sell vitamin supplements expressly for the
encouragement of healthy hair and nails.
If you need any advice about your hair or what products to
use Ioanawill only be too happy to help.
We also now stock L’Oreal colour and products. If you
book an appointment with Ioana on a Monday or Tuesday
you will get 15% off.
We are doing a special offer on pedicures, if you book a
pedicure on a Monday or Tuesday you will get 15% off.
Due to the great success at our clothes party we are
holding another one with all new stock arriving in July.
There will be all sizes from 6 to 30. The clothes party will
be on Thursday 28 July from 10am to 4 pm. Drinks a
nibbles will be provided. Please come and join us.
Gemma has left us to follow a venture of her own.
We wish her all the best.

is a non-profit organization on a mission
connecting people through lending to alleviate
poverty. Leveraging the internet and a worldwide
network of microfinance institutions, Kiva enables
individuals to lend as little as $25 to help create
opportunity around the world. To date Kiva have
notched up $220 million in loans made possible by an
army of 591,988 Kiva lenders comprising the young,
the old and children in 213 countries.

Microfinance is a general term to describe financial
services to low-income individuals or to those who do
not have access to typical banking services.
Microfinance is also the idea that low-income
individuals are capable of lifting themselves out of
poverty if given access to financial services. While
some studies indicate that microfinance can play a
role in the battle against poverty, it is also recognized
that is not always the appropriate method, and that it
should never be seen as the only tool for ending
poverty.
Nonetheless, Kiva has notched up an impressive track
record since its inception in 2005. Kiva provides an
easy way for First World lenders to link with
Developing World entrepreneurs, be they Peruvian
farmers, Afghan basket weavers or even Ugandan
liquor store owners. At you can
browse business profiles and photographs to find a
borrower whose story inspires you to lend and then
place your loan through PayPal which waives all
kiva.org transaction fees. With Kiva 100% of your
loan goes to the borrower and current statistics showa
98.75%overall repayment rate for all Kiva lending.
Kiva is primarily funded through the support of lenders
making optional donations. They also raise funds
through grants, corporate sponsors, and foundations.
When you lend $25 you are repaid $25 which you re-
lend orwithdraw.

The Friends’ Hospice Paphos benefited from two concertsgiven by the London Welsh Male Voice Choir who came forthe first time toCyprus to sing for charity events.
The choir has sung in many venues but here they loved theCoral Beach Hotel Akamas room and the exceptional settingof the Castle Square down at the harbour. As they mountedeach stage wearing their distinctive red jackets which displaythe Prince ofWales feathers there was an appreciative roundof applause for the sixty smart choristers.
Concert goers then enjoyed a varied programme of songs inEnglish and Welsh which started with a song from the PearlFisher and ended with the Jolly Roger. Friends’ Hospice
Foundation President Chris Jones commented that heknew so many of the songs having sung them at school,university and in the pub. ManyWelsh people were presentwho had tears in their eyes at they heard the well lovedsongs so beautifully harmonised.Local songbirds Graham Ormiston, Louise Vreony andJudith Evans contributed to the enjoyment of the eveningswith selections from Phantom, Mack and Mabel and LesMiserable, as well as that well loved number You’ll neverWalkAlone. Many sang this alongwith Judith.
The Friends’ Hospice Support group acknowledges withgrateful thanks sponsorship from Horizon Group and SmartCurrency as well as help from theMunicipality and the Coralbeach Hotel. Lighting and Sound came via Silverbarn andChillys lent their cold storage vanwhile Keo donated beer.Thanks also to the outlets where tickets were sold, TheSalon in Tala, Century Travel, Total Beach Coral BeachHotel, Horizon Group, Revival, Kyriakou Bookshop andSOSComputers.A Big Thanks also to Michael Movit who transported somestaging at 11 pmafter the harbour concert.
Above all was the wonderful generosity of the LondonWelsh choristers who traveled to Cyprus at their ownexpense and gave their time freely to help our charity. Thetotal raised for theFriends’Hospicewas €8437.

In the winter of 2008 a few keen dart players were discussingthe sport over a beer, as you do! It was quickly realized thatthere was no suitable venue, locally, for this activity. Afterarduous searching, to no avail, the group spoke to AlexShaclean from the Bowling Alley in Prodromi, who thengenerously offered them a room downstairs in the building.Work quickly began, all by hardworking, tireless volunteers,andwith in a fewweeks the roomwas ready - with 2 boards, 1practice board, lighting and a bar-
During that first winter the number of players grew beyondexpectations and the room was no longer big enough. Alex,quick to seize an opportunity, offered the large function roomabove the bowling alley plus some financial support andduring the summer of 2009 the team and willing friendsstarted work once again. It took up spare time, evenings andweekends and after a lot of blood, sweat and tears, before thewinter nights came the “mini lakeside’’ was completed - 5boards, a stage, lighting, computer scoring, a bar and plentyof seating for spectators –
The venue was officially opened in October 2009 by Tony“Bandana’’ Croxford who at the time was ranked the number1 player inCyprus.
The quality & number of players continued to grow and ateam was formed and entered into the Pafos Darts Leaguefor the season 2010/11. The team far exceeded anyexpectations, losing only 1match throughout the season andwinning division 2.
They also managed to win the Knockout shield played bydivisions 1, 2 & 3. The Captains Cup, again played by theteams in division 1, 2 & 3, wasWon by Magic Darts very owncaptain, Steve Wake who was also the player with thehighest statistics in division 2,winning 38 out of 42 games.Claire Hester took the trophy for the top women’s stats,winning 19 out of 27 gamesand she alsowon thewomen’s

By Kim Brown, Director of The Overseas Guides CompanySnap up a Property BARGAIN!Snap up a Property BARGAIN!
July2011
Despite the fact that the economy is uncertain, itseems that demand for Cyprus property is still fairlyhealthy. And why shouldn’t it be - there are someexcellent deals out there. Whether you want arenovation project or a holiday home it’s now abuyers market and some properties can besnatched up at a massive discount. Both privatesellers and developers alike are discountingproperties while adding incentives to achieve sales.Many developers are slashing prices, throwing inwhite goods, air conditioners and in some cases youcan get your entire property completely furnished atno extra cost!
Many private sellers are experiencing difficulties asthey purchased off-plan property several years agowith the intention to sell upon completion for a profit.Due to the fact that there’s a surplus of properties forsale and lack of matching demand, many sellers arehappy to sell at a break-even price. Imagine gettinga property for the price someone paid for it threeyears ago – it’s possible!
So – how can you get the best deal? The quickanswer is to make lots of discounted offers on lots ofproperties – sooner or later someone will agree tonegotiate. What is ‘lots’ and how much should you‘discount’?That all depends on howeager you are toget a good deal andwhat your intentions are.
Some proper ty pr i ces have inc reasedastronomically – a few years ago, reports of 10% to30% increases per year were normal. Manyinvestors purchased off-plan property with theintention of renting or selling upon completion. Nowthat the economy is gloomy and times are difficult,many property owners are finding that they can’t rentor sell. Provided they purchased the property beforeprice hikes, it wouldn’t be difficult for them todrastically reduce their sales price to get a quicksale. Inmany cases, property owners can slash theirproperty price - and still make a profit!
If your intentions are to emigrate or buy a holidayhome in Cyprus, there are some exceptionalopportunities out there. Make offers below theasking price and negotiate for as many extras aspossible.And if you’re interested in investing, it’sabsolutely paramount that you do your homeworkand create a strategy. If you’re going to buy to sellon, you need to determine the real market value (notthe price the property is up for sale for). The realvalue is what people are prepared to pay for theproperty.You also need to determinewho’s going to
Buy the property (target market) and if there isenough demand. Provided thatyou think you can sell theproperty at market value, youhave to make offers way belowthat price point.
Do your research, determine thecosts associated with buying andthen factor in your profit – peoplemake a living from buying atbelow-market value and it can bevery lucrative. It can also be extremely expensive ifdone incorrectly! Whether you’re interested inCyprus property for a home or for investmentpurposes, there are definite deals to be had. Don’tbe afraid tomake offers and negotiate for extras!
Kim Brown is a Director of The Overseas GuidesCompany and the author of the Cyprus BuyingGuide. The guide is a publication dedicated toexposing poor practice, property buying pitfalls andproviding an educational instruction manual tobuying and/or investing in Cyprus property.

Anyone can sell you cheese BUT not everyonecan tell you WHAT cheese they are selling!!Anyone can sell you cheese BUT not everyonecan tell you WHAT cheese they are selling!!
Why is drinking your favourite wine with cheese sooften disappointing?
Gina has prepared the following as a basic reference
guide:
:
Make an informed choice at Gina’s Place,purveyors of quality delicatessen products.
The usual answer is that we are too ambitious – laying on
too many different styles of cheese to give the wine a
chance – and we tend to head for red wines when white, or
even a glass of sweetwinewould be a bettermatch.
If you want to drink red with a variety of different cheeses,
then the best wines to choose are aged Spanish reds like
Rioja, mature Italian reds such as Amarones or older
vintages of NewWorld Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz that
are not too ‘oaky’. Young tannic reds such as Cabernet are
the ones that are most likely to clash. Even then, it’s worth
avoiding cheeses that are bound to cause problems, like
very strong salty blues or pungent washed rind cheeses,
such asEpoisses orMunster.
If it is the wine that you want to take priority, choose a single
fine cheese that will compliment it. Wines and cheeses from
the same area tend to go well, for example, Sancere and
Crottin de Chavignot, both from the Loire and
Gewurtztramuner andMunster fromAlsace.
Gina’s Place in Chloraka has an unrivald selection of
artisanal cheeses, which are more demanding than
commercially produced cheeses, but if you find the right
match, they are so much more rewarding. Gina also has a
large wine and champagne selection and the knowledge to
assist you in the correct choice so that your wine and
cheeses will compliment each other perfectly and suit the
occasion they are being purchased for.Why not stop by and
spend some time on her new terrace, having one of her
famous cheese platters and a glass of her wine to assist you
inmaking your choice?
Brie, Camembert, Chevre, Boursin, Pont
L’eveque, Delice De Bourgogne,
with rind cheeses likeBrie and rich creamyones
likeDeliceDeBourgogne.
Roquefort, BlueD’Avergne, StiltonIn general, sweetwineswork best, though a full bodied fruityred like Zinfindel can be enjoyed as well as Port. HungarianTokai is also good.
Parmesan, Gouda, Pecorino,Manchego. These are probably the easiest types ofcheeses to pair with a good red, though some alpinecheeses such as Gruyere are equally enjoyable with a verydry white wine. Mature Gouda, Cheddar-style cheeses andhard sheep’s milk cheeses are the kindest to fine wines, likered Bordeaux and other top cabernets. Milder Englishcheeses like Wenslydale can be enjoyed with SauvignonBlanc.
Epoisses, Munster, Reblechon,Castelmango. Any cheese that has been matured to theextent that its flavour and aroma are really pungent is likelyto cause problems, whether it’s a notoriously strong cheeselike Munster or a normally mild one like Brie. Aromaticwhites such as Alsace Gewurtztraminer and Tokey PinotGris aremost likely toworkwell.A less conventional, but surprisingly successful solution, isbeer –which strong cheeses respond to – or a robust red.
With many delicatessens now situated in the Paphos area,it is important that our customers are given the correctinformation about cheese manufacturing, cutting, storingand of course, presenting. So, remember:
SOFT CHEESES
BLUE CHEESES:
HARD CHEESES:
STRONG CHEESES:
White often goes better
than red. Try Sauvignon Blanc with goats cheese and garlic
flavoured roules. Soft fruity reds, like Pinot Noir and Merlot

Kandywas a small ginger coloured Labrador.
After Ollie, who was now Roger’s pampered pet, sheseemed like a Jack Russell but she was a normal sizefor a bitch of her breed.Again, a very different characterto her predecessors but work wise there was nodifference at all. I remember the first time we took herand Ollie for a free run, (play), on Royston Heath. Theyboth jumped from the car and scampered away,suddenly Kandy leaped in the air and was spinningaround in mid-air. Ollie just sat down and looked at usas if to say ‘What on earth have you brought homeMum?’Whenever Kandy was excited she would do thisspinning, some times on the ground, other times in theair.
Again we noticed that there seemed to be a passage ofinformation between dogs and when I was out withKandy for the first time in town, she seemed to knowwhere to go. In church it was up the central aisle, thirdpewon the left, without any guidance at all.
She was full of life always wanting to be on the go. Wesaid she was so slim because she was never still longenough for fat to stick to her! At the end of the day shewould come with me up to bed and curl up in her bedbeside me, though she had a habit of lying on her backwith her feet in the air.
One night Roger came home from late shift and whenhe saw the way she was lying he took a photo which hethen downloaded to his computer, labelled it ‘TheRoyston tart’ and then e-mailed it to friends who had agood laugh.
Kandy, like the two before herwas food orientated, shecould hear a packet of biscuits being lifted from acupboard, even if she was in her bed asleep, and wasthere like a shot. She was a demon for cuddly toys andI really had to have my wits about me in shops, shecould lift a toy of the shelf in Woolworths without evenfaltering in her pace, I had visions of being accused ofshoplifting. One day we were in the shop at theNational Trust property Kingston Lacy House inDorset. Kandy was just about to ‘liberate’ a little teddybear when Roger warned me, the manageress sawthis and asked us to stay for a couple of minutes, shewent in to her office and came out with a teddy forKandy. Often friends would have a small toy clippedon a key ring or handbag and Kandy would jump upand try to get them.
I was told that the diabetic neuropathy in my left armwas making it impossible for me to properly work withher and Kandy would be retired early. All Guide Dogsare trained to work on the left so I thought that was it,no more Guide Dog for me and back to having to relyon other people. Guide Dogs however had otherideas. Dipper, who had shown great susceptibility tolearning and would have finished training early, wasretrained to work on the right hand side. When it wastime forme to train with Dipper, and for us to become ‘aunit’, Kandy was retired and became Roger’spampered pet as a replacement for Ollie who hadsuccumbed to cancer. She was with him 24 hours adaywhile I was away and they bonded into ‘a unit’.

My Previous Guide Dogs - KandyMy Previous Guide Dogs - KandyBy Jan GibsonBy Jan Gibson
July2011
From here he travelled
to Edinburgh where he
met Beatrice, who he
told me “was the best
thing that ever happened
to him”, they eventually
returned back to Beatrice's
home town in Grenoble in France and settled down.
He then became a very proud father to Thomas who is
now 2 years old. During this period we visited him in
most destinations where he showed us the sights and
on occasions he camehome for short periods.
Stephen was in Cyprus for nearly 12 months and we
were grateful that we could spend time with him in his
last year of life. Brian & Rammy joined him and were
great friends to him, alsoworking in thePolis area.
Wewould like to thank all our friends and relatives and
Stephen's friends all around the world for being part of
his life, his extended family in France and the new
friends he met here in Cyprus and especially Beatrice
for enhancing Stephen's life and giving us a beautiful
grandson, Thomas. Also we would like to thank the
community here inCyprus.
We will never be able to thank people enough for the
support given to all our family at this sad time. We had
regular meals delivered, offers of lifts, offers of
accommodation, regular visits, sympathy cards,
telephone calls, texts, e mails and lots of hugs. We
had a collection in lieu of flowers for Thomas's trust
fund which at present stands at 1300 euros. Thank
you somuch for your generosity.
We will never forget the care and kindness of all our
friends and relatives, but especially the community in
this part of Cyprus. We have only been resident here
for just under two years and cannot believe the care
and compassion of the small community with a big
heart, whichwe feel verymuch a part of.
Stephen died tragically in the early hours of the 22
May 2011 in a road accident, the service of which took
place at Agia Kyriaki Church in Polis on 31 May 2011.
Stephen is now laid to rest in the cemetery opposite the
main school in Polis.
Stephenwas always a free spirit and dreamed of travel,
his first trip away from home at the age of 17 was to
South Africa to stay with some relatives . He was in
South Africa for approximately 6 months and that was
the start of his travelling.
He did the normal holidays with friends and worked
various jobs but in the Spring of 2000 he started his
journey of life. He was in Prague, Czech Republic,
when he met the group of friends who would always be
constants in his life. From Prague he went to the
Canary Islands, then Amsterdam always working
wherever he could. It was in Amsterdam that he was
introduced to the culinary world and got his first job as a
chef.

The only white stuff in my kitchen now.....is the washing machine!!The only white stuff in my kitchen now.....is the washing machine!! By Caroline GrossmithBy Caroline Grossmith
July2011
I just had a dinner partywithNO leftovers and ten requests forrecipes .... In my last life as a gum-boots-and-pearls armywifey, I used to do two fourteen pax dinner parties a monthwith formal ‘mmmm that was delicious’ thank you letters; but Inever had this!
Without... any.... dairy. Or cereals (really.....like flour!). Or
starch (eek, potatoes? Rice?) Or sugar. Seriously! .......
How? What..... ?????? (It’s the white stuff – always
thought I should get rid of it!)
Things like Cold Tunisian Tomato Soup and Olive cake:
MoroccanCarrot Salad,Aubergine Sandwich Raphael, Tuna
coleslaw salad, Roasted veg Pizza, Chicken Breast in
Tomato and Onion: Lemon Tart, Apple Pie and Chocolate
Delight Gateau (crikey it was a dark choc fix alright, so relax
chocoholics!)
Following a P3A (Paphos Third Age) talk by Geoff Bond
entitled Deadly Harvest, many of us at last understood why
we do need to make some lifestyle changes! The direct link
between us Homo Sapiens beginning to farm and starting to
suffer degenerative ‘lifestyle’ diseases is indisputable. The
‘so many reasons why’ explained. We all know of people
who have allergies, go to the doc get told to cut out (you
guessed it) dairy .... wheat.... Things that make you go
“Hmmmm”! Nowwe find that those people are the norm–we
are, none of us, designed to eat those things at all!
Howdo know? (Saidwith the playground intonation of an

Well ,Geoff is an anthropologist. And he is a nutritionalist.
He has spent his life digging up bits of the Homo Sapiens
Owners’ Manual and putting it all together for us, because
although our engines still run on coke and chips and
wholegrain bread, it seems to be causing us some untold
damage. It doesn’t kill you in a day, (if you ate a potato and
dropped downdead, these thingswould be easier to spot!) so
unfortunately, we don’t make the connection ..... but we do
begin to expect to have some sort of health issues in our
‘Third Age’. Poor Auntie Mable fell and broke her hip ...
really? Or did poor old Auntie Mable break her hip .... which
caused her fall? But she drankmilk all her
life she has strong bones (I’m making a ‘cat’s bottom’ face
now ...) Oh dear, you mean that drinking milk all her life has
CAUSED this?Well, that amongst other things.You can drink
all the milk calcium you like but unless it is available to your
model (Homo Sapiens – there only is one model, that’s the
good bit!) it’s no good to you ‘at-all-at-all’ better off
Why
you
much
eating a head of broccoli, what your body is programmed to
recognise and therefore able to use as calcium.
How annoying!! Grrrr, why?! why WHY!?! I thought I was
eating healthily, to the government daily requirements and
everything!! Cast your mind back 60 thousand years (P3A
members can, the rest of you will have to use your
imagination!) There were 50 of us living in a group roaming
100 square miles. Women with young on their backs
gathered 80% of the group’s dietary intake, fruit and nuts,
berries and veg. The men with clubs and stealth brought in
the meat (what can I say?) accounting for 20% of the
group’s dietary intake. This ratio is paramount 80% veg :
20%meat. Look at your plate. Do not forget this. There is a
test later.
Soon the populations grew and had to move to new
territories. As fruitful territories got more difficult to find, a
bright spark with a lazy streak (wouldmake a good general!)
started sticking things in the ground to grow, so the group
could settle and survive on a smaller area. But the choice of
nutrients was limited straight away. Ways of eating what the
animals ate were devised (eg using cereals to invent bread)
and we even started drinking milk. Wow - how bizarre was
that?? Who thought ‘Mmmmm – tasty looking udder over
there, I’ll just go and have a suck of that!’??

Pride of place goes to Stage One Youth Theatre whowon the top award, the “Rosebowl” itself, for theirvibrant and enthusiastic presentation of “The Bible in45 Minutes….or less”. This was a great team effort byall themembers of theYouthTheatre.The “Adjudicator’s Pot” went to Stage One’s technicalteam,MaryCartwright andGeorgeCook for their workon the sound effects for “Alarms”, the entry fromStageOne’s “ grown-ups”.

We are the only species which chooses to drink milk from
another species; and the only species to drink milk into
adulthood. But sadly there is evidence that directly links this
with brittle bones and some cancers – not what the huge
dairy industry or the system so relying on it wants to hear at
all. So shhh! Don’t tell anyone, or they’ll tell YOU ....that you
are like a man wearing clingfilm swimming trunks - they can
clearly see you’reNUTS!!
Which aremainlyGOOD things to eat (no, not .... oh honestly,
try and staywith the plan!)
Omega 3 : Omega 6. Everyone’s heard of them – but it all
seems so complicated and confusing you kind of give up
asking! We need both, but they should balance each other 1
to 1. Omega 3 is anti inflammatory and Omega 6 is
inflammatory. Omega 6 is in pretty much everything
processed. It’s a clogger. A typical American diet is One
Omega 3 to THIRTYTWOOmega 6. Which is whyOrientals
(oily fish eaters) bleed more easily than Americans (and so
have less strokes, heart disease etc) More things to make
you go ‘Hmmm’. A recent article by a retired heart surgeon
tells of seeing so many ‘roughed up’ arteries on his
slab.....caused by eating processed food – it is this
roughening which catches the cholesterol and makes a
blockage, not the cholesterol itself, which we need. He says
that every time you eat processed food you take a wire brush
to the inside of your arteries. Graphic! So where do I get this
Omega 3? Flax oil, walnuts, rapeseed oil, hempseed and
oily fish, sardines, trout etc.
Basically, whenever you eat something processed (or not
designed for the homo sapiensmodel), you are sidetracking
your immune system. Instead of it repairing you and batting
off pre-cancerous cells and infection, you are dragging it
down by asking it to process the rubbish you chose to put in
your mouth! Oops – who likes being told that good health is
‘your choice’!!?
Anyway,Geoff’s talk cleared up somuch –we’ve only tasted
a mouthful here and haven’t even touched on your
hormones! We are talking HEALTH EXPECTANCY. Most
of us who have retired out here need to prick our ears and
listen, but before I make your ears bleed further (!) I’ll leave
you to ponder. There’s alwaysmore if youwant it!
Any questions, you can askGeoff as, when he isn’t lecturing
to enlightened doctors around the world, he lives in Paphos!
Should you decide to take responsibility for your own health
.... but feel a bit lost what to do next, or have specific issues
you know you need to tackle – you can get a consultation
with him .....You can because, honey .... you’reworth it!

The New Govenor of Cyprus,The New Govenor of Cyprus,
By Wally OppenheimBy Wally Oppenheim
July2011
one hundred years ago
Exactly 100 years ago in 1911 Cyprus acquired a newGovernor. Sir Hamilton John Goold-Adams ruled theisland for 4 years. He was one of a series of Governorswho totally failed to understand the needs of theCypriots and plays his own small part in the decline andfall of BritishCyprus.Goold-Adams was an eccentric member of a minornoble family and was born in Ireland in 1858. Originallyintended to be a naval officer, he switched to becomingan Army Officer and served mainly in South Africa. Hereached the rank of Major and was present at the Siegeof Mafeking in 1899. From 1901 he held various juniorposts as a Colonial administrator. Already in Africa hewas noted as an eccentric. An early enthusiast formotoring, he once deliberately drove his car through amajor bush fire. He and his passengers were lucky todrive through without getting burnt. His other greatinterest was in breeding and racing horses.This second rate and undistinguished administratorwas therefore lucky to be offered the post of Governorof Cyprus in 1911 at the age of 53. The Colonial Officewere soon to regret their decision, yet he was only oneof several poor administrators sent to govern the islandin this period. The fact was that Cyprus was seen as abackwater and compared to other Governors, itsGovernor ranked low in terms of both prestige andsalary.Seen as unfriendly and difficult by the Cypriots, Goold-Hamilton made no secret of his dislike of GreekCypriots and avoided their company. He made noattempt to understand the complexities of Cyprus or itsneeds. He busied himself trying to encourage divisionsbetween the Turkish Cypriots, favouring traditionalsupporters of the Ottoman Empire against those whofavoured the new nationalism of the Young Turks. Hegave priority to horse breeding and encouraged thedevelopment of horse racing in Cyprus. He once spent15% of the annual Cyprus budget buying a singlethoroughbred.Goold-Hamilton was the man in charge when Britainwent to war with the Ottoman Empire in 1914.Althoughhe did preside over the annexation of the island byBritain and showed some apparent urgency by at oncedeclaring martial law, seized enemy ships in Cyprusports and imposing someprice and trade controls, it was an illusion to imaginethat he was up to the job of managing Cyprus in
wartime. He complained bitterly atbeing asked to leave his summerretreat in the Troodos to return tohis desk in Nicosia, offered the British government3,000 tons of salt as a contribution to the war effort,continued to give horseracing his highest priority andbungled the first issue of banknotes.Not only did Goold-Hamilton completely forget towithdraw the government’s 40,000 pounds depositedat the Ottoman Bank in Nicosia, but he decided thatthe shortage of coins in Cyprus meant that Cyprusshould start printing its own banknotes. These werehastily designed and printed and were then signed bythe Governor personally. Unfortunately he hadwasted his time as the new banknotes were so easilyforged that Cyprus quickly became flooded with fakes.Goold-Hamilton was forced to withdraw them afteronly a few weeks and replace them with properlyprinted banknotes:
The banknote and salt fiascos were the last straw forthe Colonial Office. In 1915 he lost his position asGovernor of Cyprus and was demoted to be Governorof Queensland, Australia. Here too he wasunsuccessful. He struggled to cope with a state whichnot only had an elected Parliament, but one which hadjust voted in a Labour government pledged to socialreform. The result was a series of disputes with theQueensland Prime Minister in which Goold-Hamiltontried in vain to stop reforms being passed. He finallyretired in 1920 and died on hisway back toEngland.Goold-Hamilton was a product of his age. He wasunsuited to deal with sensitive political issues and hadlittle interest or sympathy with them. Yet he was typicalof the second-rate men who were sent to governCyprus in this period. Cyprus stagnated under his rule-and would continue to do so for many more years untilSir RonaldStorrs becameGovernor in 1926.

A Healthy Diet for a Long & Healthy Life!A Healthy Diet for a Long & Healthy Life!By Mountain BreezeEvery now and then someone drops a snippet of information into a conversation or a book comes
our way quite unexpectedly and lo and behold we have chanced upon invaluable treasure. Some
call it luck, for others it’s the answer to unspoken prayers but I call it serendipity! Quite fortunately
for me, two books were recently bought to my attention over the casual ritual of sharing coffee and
carrot cake with friends. Both books are without doubt, worthy of recommending to PALS readers
for a holistic, lifelong approach to eating for health and longevity, including those prone to arthritus.
ITreating Arthritis - The Drug Free Way
Margaret Hills, SRN
New edition revised by Christine Horner,
ECNP,MRNT
IBSN 978-1-84709-005-8 Sheldon Press
Crippled by arthritis as a young woman the late
Margaret Hills turned to faith, determination and her
nurses training to help herself when orthodox medicine
could do nothing more for her. Proving the doctors
wrong her ‘acid-free’ approach, which includes apple
cider vinegar, honey and molasses, not only healed
her but bought relief to thousands at her clinic in
Kenilworth, England. Her daughter Christine Horner
runs the Margaret Hills Clinic and continues to inspire
others with her mother’s drug-free method of healing.
This book offers up to date information about diet and
reveals important information on the effects of arthritis
drugs on health.
The LIVER Cleansing Diet
Love your liver and live longer!
By Dr Sandra Cabot - www.sandracabot.com
ISBN 978-0-9757-4374-4
In traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is called “the
General of the army of the body” in charge of both body
strategy and harmony. They say that although the
heart stores the spirit it is the liver that can unbalance
the spirit. Dr Sandra Cabot is a consultant to the
Australian Health Advisory Service, has appeared on
numerous TV shows and is a prominent speaker on
nutritional medicine and hormonal disorders. Like her
Chinese counterparts, Dr Cabot has reached the
conclusion that the liver is the key to health and
longevity. This book has it all, medical facts, common
sense, nutritional advice and it is definitley not another
fad diet! Complementing Margaret Hills’s book these
two women are in total harmony in their approach
toward a healthy diet for life.

Bob WIckens, Co-ordinator of the Anglican Church ofPaphos annual Charity Christmas Fayre and his hard-working Committee are looking for funding towardspublicity and printing costs in connection with the
. Planning for this year’sFayre on Wednesday 1 December is now well underway, but a financial sponsor is still being sought.
If you represent a local business and would beprepared to offer sponsorship in the region of €500towards publicity costs, your Company name andlogo would appear on all of the tens of thousands ofleaflets and hundreds of posters that are distributedthroughout the district. Your Company would alsohave a whole-page advertisement in the ChristmasFayre Programme, together with a space at the venueon Fayre Day where you may publicise your goods orservices (but not actually sell).
Last year the Fayre raised over €15,000 for Cypriotcharities both large and small. It is a prestigious event– probably the biggest and best Christmas Fayre onthe entire Island. All profits go to charities and theFayre is the Anglican Church’s way of saying,‘Thank you!’ to ourCypriot hosts.
Even if unable to act as main sponsor, Bob would bepleased to hear from Companies who are able todonate prizes for the Grand Raffle and/or advertise inthe Christmas Fayre Programme which is given tothose who attend on 1 December. Advertising ratesare very reasonable.
If you or your Company is able to help this worthycause in any way, or for more information, pleasecontact Bob Wickens on 26 322 628 or e-mail:

Vegetables on the Bar-B-QVegetables on the Bar-B-Q
July2011
Last month we talked about bar-b-q marinades for meat and fish and it is usual, of course,
to serve a selection of salads to accompany these. However, vegetables can be bar-b-q’d
as easily as meat and fish and can make a welcome and tasty change as a side dish or, not
forgetting our vegetarian friends or those who find meat a little heavy on a hot summers day,
as an alternative main course.
These aubergines take on the flavour of the charcoal really
well and turn flavoursome and soft.
Ingredients
2 large aubergines
Olive oil
Chopped fresh herbs – any that you like and are in season
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
MethodCut the aubergines diagonally into 1cm slices.Mix the olive oil with the herbs, salt and pepper and brushliberally over the cut sides of the aubergine slices.Leave to marinate for up to 1 hour, basting and turningoccassionally.Grill on the rack over hot coals for about 5-6 minutes oneach side until the aubergine is soft and well cooked.
Ingredients4 large tomatoesSea salt and freshly ground black pepperSoy sauce1 tbs chopped fresh basil or tarragon1 tbs chopped fresh parsley2 tbs grated cheese, preferably parmesan3oz roasted and finely ground peanuts, almonds or othernuts of your choiceButter
MethodCut the tomatoes in half crosswise and season the cutsurfaces with salt and pepper.Sprinkle each half with a few drops of soy sauce.Mix the chopped herbs together and place on top and thensprinkle with the cheese.Cover with the ground nuts, pat them on gently and thentop with a small knob of butter.Wrap loosely in foil and place cut side up on the rack overhot coals and grill for 20-25 minutes until the tomatoes aresoft and hot.
As well as tasting delicious, these courgettes give out a wonderful aroma as they are basted on the bar-b-q.
8 small courgettes, trimmed2 cloves garlic, crushed1 tbs grated fresh ginger6 fresh mint leaves, chopped finely1 tsp chopped fresh marjoram1 tsp finely grated lemon zest2 bay leaves2 tbs fresh lemon juice3 tbs olive oilSalt to taste
Ingredients MethodRun the tip of a sharp knife along the courgettes to scorethem.Mix the remaining ingredients thoroughly and then turn thecourgettes in it until well coated.Leave them to marinate for 4-5 hours, turning occasionally.Remove the courgettes from the marinade and grill on therack over hot coals for 8-10 minutes, turning and bastingwith the marinade frequently. They should be tender butstill ‘al dente’.
