Remember All Those Who Have Served Before UsTeam Rota,

Yesterday I had the honor of participating in Naval Station Rota’s Memorial Day Ceremony. Memorial Day is always a bittersweet time of the year for me: It’s a time that I’m proud of all who are currently wearing our nation’s

uniform on this great Naval Station and around the world, but it’s also a time where I remember all of America’s heroes who have “… gone before us to defend freedom and democracy around the world.”

I know many of you have heard this before, but it doesn’t mean we don’t need

the reminder: Please be sure you plan and take some time this weekend to remember our veterans. If you don’t already do something every year on Memorial Day, this could be a great time to start a tradition of honor and respect for you, your friends and/or your family.

This year is also the bicentennial of the War of 1812. This week, 200 years ago, our very young country’s lead-ers were facing and making tough decisions – whether or not to go to war. In less than three weeks, the United States of America would officially proclaim war on Great Britain. Although we had fought battles before, like the Battle of Tippecanoe that had happened only a few months earlier, this was the first time we declared war on another nation. The War of 1812 lasted for three years. I encourage all of you to go online and check out www.ourflagwasstillthere.org. They have a fantastic interactive timeline of the war and many great articles and videos.

Two-hundred years ago we declared our first war, and 70 years ago we were in the throes of World War II. June 4 – 7 will mark the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Midway. Seventy years ago this week Admiral Chester Nimitz, Commander in Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet, wrote Admiral Ernest King, Chief of Naval Operations, “We are actively preparing to greet our expected visitors with the kind of receptions they deserve.”

Midway, of course, was the turning point of World War II for the United States. Only six months after Pearl Harbor and one month after the Battle of Coral Sea, the Imperial Japanese navy was planning to set a trap and surprise attack against U.S. forces at Midway atoll. U.S. code breakers intercepted Japanese messages and were

able to prepare a surprise counter attack. Our counter at-tack caused severe, irrecoverable damage to the Imperial Japanese navy and is still considered by many to be the most decisive victory U.S. Navy history. The Naval History and Heritage Command has a great Web site with many interesting articles, photos and videos about the Battle of Midway, www.history.navy.mil.

For our 70th Anniversary of Midway we’re planning a wreath-laying ceremony, a history brief and a free showing of the movie Midway at the theater. Stay tuned to follow-on Plan of the Week notes and quarters for more information.

So, again, as you go about your long weekend this Memorial Day, please stop to remember all those who have served before us. Be safe and have a good plan. Happy Memorial Day.

HOOYAH! CMC

Navy Announces New Uniform Components, RegulationsfroM Chief of naval personnel publiC affairs

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- NAVADMIN 164/12, re-leased Friday, announced the chief of naval operations' (CNO) approval of a number of changes to uniforms and uniform wear policy.

"These uniform changes are the direct result of Sailor and leadership feedback," said Rear Adm. Tony Kurta, director, Military Personnel Plans and Policy. "Updating Navy uniforms is part of outfitting the 21st Century Sailor, ensuring our Sailors have practical uniforms they want and that represent our proud naval heritage while reflecting advances in clothing technol-ogy and design."

An improved design of the male E1-E6 Service Dress Blue (SDB) Uniform, incorporating a side zip-per on the jumper and a hidden center zipper on the trousers, is approved. The uniform is scheduled to begin distribution in October 2015, at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, and Fleet availability is ex-pected by October 2018. Specific details regarding fleet availability will be announced in a future NAVADMIN.

The E1-E6 men's and women's Service Dress White (SDW) jumper approved design improvements include incorporating a side zipper, front and rear yoke, Navy blue piping on the flap, and sleeve cuffs with Navy blue piping and button fasteners. Introduction of the new E1-E6 SDW will begin October 2015, at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes. Fleet roll out will be-gin by October 2018. Specific details regarding Fleet availability will be announced in a future NAVADMIN.

The contemporary design for Service Dress Khaki (SDK) is approved for optional wear. Detailed guidance on the occasion for wear and Fleet availability will be announced in a future NAVADMIN.

A number of changes to the Navy flight suit occasion and manner of wear are contained in the NAVADMIN, including changes to the approved colors for under-

shirts and aligning the manner of wear of the one-piece flight suit with the Navy Working Uniform (NWU) Type I.

Among the changes to NWU policy approved in the NAVADMIN is the option to wear a nametape on the left shoulder pocket flap of the NWU Type I Parka, begin-ning July 17. These nametapes will be purchased at the Sailor's expense during the optional period. Nametapes will become mandatory Oct. 1, 2013. Sailors will receive a clothing replacement allowance to help purchase one additional nametape for the parka.

Other changes to the NWU policy include the ap-proval to wear as an optional item a nylon webbing rigger belt and NWU pattern foul weather Gore-Tex trousers. The optional rigger belt will be a one and three-fourth inch wide, one-piece adjustable nylon webbing, metal or plastic buckle. Belts worn by E-1 through E-6 personnel will be black, while belts worn by E-7 and above will be tan/khaki.

Sailors will be able to buy the NWU pattern foul weather Gore-Tex trousers for wear during inclem-ent weather to and from home and work. Personally purchased trousers will not be worn to perform official or assigned duties. The trousers will be available for purchase at selected Navy Exchange Uniform Centers, online and 1-800 call centers beginning Oct. 1.

The NAVADMIN includes a list of additional com-mands authorized to wear the NWU Type III (Woodland) for daily and deployment and deployment training wear, as well as further guidance on approval authority for the wear of this uniform. Fleet Commanders (USFF and PACFLT) will now be the authorizing authority for wear of the NWU Type III for deployment and pre-deployment work up/training. When not in a deployment or pre-deployment training status, personnel will wear the NWU Type I or service uniform as appropriate.

In June 2013, an optional redesigned khaki maternity

blouse with adjustable waist tabs and slightly shorter length will be available in regular and long sizes. The blouse will become a mandatory, as needed, item in 2015.

The NAVADMIN also approved several insignia and badge additions and changes including standard-izing the design and reducing the number of Navy Security Forces Identification badges from eight to three badges: U.S. Navy Security Forces, U.S. Navy Corrections Specialist and U.S. Navy Master-at-Arms.

A Strategic Sealift Officer Warfare Insignia (SSOWI) for wear by officers who have successfully completed the qualification requirements will be available May 2013. The United States Cyber Command (US-CYBERCOM) identification badge is authorized to be worn by officers and enlisted assigned to USCYBER-COM beginning July 17.

Also beginning July 17, the Marine Corps Combat-ant Diver (MCD) breast insignia is authorized for wear on Navy uniforms by Sailors who successfully meet all qualification requirements stipulated in MILPERSMAN article 1220-101, (U.S. Marine Corps Marine Combat-ant Diver Breast Insignia and Designation).

Illustrations of the new uniform items and insignia, as well as instructions on how to submit uniform changes to the Uniform Board, can be found on the Navy Uniform Matters Office Web site at http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/support/uniforms/pages/default2.aspx.

For complete information on the approved uniform policy changes read NAVADMIN 164/12 at www.npc.navy.mil.

Naval Station Rota Americans lost approximately 200 military identification (ID) cards in the last 18 months, according to a recent report from Person-nel Support Detachment (PSD) Rota, Spain, which accompanied a new instruction enforcing more strict requirements to replace lost or stolen IDs.

PSD’s new policy, PERSUPP Det. Rota Spain In-struction, 1170.1, was released May 11. It was created in collaboration with base leadership, legal and input from tenant commands and national support elements in Spain, Portugal and Lisbon.

"Remember, every lost ID card can possibly open

our gates to terrorists or set up our service/fam-ily members to have their identities stolen,” said Lt. Cmdr. Joseph Klapiszewski, PSD Det. Rota officer in charge. “An ID card should be considered a sensitive, important item and safeguarded as such."

Fifty-four percent of the lost ID cards were from E-5 and below service members and 25 percent were from family members, according to PSD.

The new instruction, delineates the steps required to replace lost or stolen IDs, including providing a copy of a voluntary statement from security confirming the ID as lost and a memorandum to be completed

at PSD, both of which are required for uniformed and family members. In addition, service members E-5 and below, must bring a copy of a special request chit signed by their chain of command approving them for a new ID. Anyone requiring a replacement ID will need a current photo ID and secondary forms of identification.

Appointments are required for ID replacement. Members can schedule appoints Monday - Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. - 3:40 p.m.

See the instruction for complete replacement ID requirements.

Stricter Process on Replacing Lost I.D. Cards

by: deanne aCree, naval station rota, spain legal assistanCe

A new law hitting the streets of Spain, and possibly your home, June 1 will require those who employ Spanish na-tionals as domestic help to register and pay social security taxes to the Spanish government.

Whether it is part time, full time, on or off base – if you are thinking about hiring a nanny, gardener or housekeeper you need to take steps to ensure you adhere to Spanish regulations.

In accordance with Spanish regula-tions on domestic services, as of June 1, anyone wishing to employ domestic helpers must register with the Spanish Social Security System (Seguridad So-cial). Proof of registration will be required to obtain base access for the individual.

"Not only is it the law but it is also the right thing to do,” said Lt. Cmdr. Jared Edgar, Naval Station Rota, Spain staff judge advocate. “It entitles the employee to full medical assistance, retirement pay, physical disability pay and sick leave. You should understand that Spanish law does not allow you and your employee to contract for services without registering. Failure to register will result in substantial fines. Following the steps to comply with Spanish labor and Social Security laws will save you from creating a financial mess for you and your employee.”

You will need to register your domestic

help with the Spanish Social Security Office located in El Puerto de Santa Maria prior to the employee beginning work. Once you have registered, you will be required to pay a percentage of the monthly salary to the Social Security Office. These deductions will be taken electronically from your Spanish bank account. Make sure you have all your forms filled out when going to the office. You can visit the Social Security System Web site to print out the required forms before you go to the office in El Puerto de Santa María. Then, when the time comes to terminate the contract, you will need to notify the Social Security office within six days after the contract is ter-minated in order to stop the withdrawals from your bank account.

You also have the option to take your paperwork to any of the local Gestoria. For a fee of roughly 50 euros, they submit your application to the Spanish Social Security Office and complete the process for you. While individuals are encouraged to work directly with the Social security office, the Gestoria provides another route for ensuring your adherence to Spanish law.

Anyone who currently employs do-mestic help, or who is considering it, is encouraged to call the Security Depart-ment at 727-3247 for assistance.

Just after midnight on June 4, Admiral Nimitz, based on patrol plane reports, advised Task Forces 16 and 17 of the course and speed of the Japanese "main body," also noting their distance of 574 miles from Midway. Shortly after dawn, a patrol plane spotted two Japanese carri-ers and their escorts, reporting "Many planes heading Midway from 320 degrees distant 150 miles!"

The first attack on June 4, however, took place when the four night-flying PBYs attacked the Japanese trans-ports northwest of Midway with one PBY torpedoing fleet tanker Akebono Maru. Later that morning, at roughly 6:30 a.m., Aichi D3A (Val) carrier bombers and Nakajima B5N (Kate) torpedo planes, supported by numerous fighters (Zekes), bombed Midway Island installations. Although defending U.S. Marine Corps Brewster F2 A (Buffalo) and Grumman F4F (Wildcat) fighters suffered disastrous

losses, losing 17 of 26 aloft, the Japanese only inflicted slight damage to the facilities on Midway. Motor Torpedo Boat PT-25 was also damaged by strafing in Midway lagoon.

Over the next two hours, Japanese Zekes on Combat Air Patrol (CAP) and antiaircraft fire from the Japanese fleet an-nihilated the repeated attacks by the American aircraft from Marine Corps Douglas SBD (Dauntless) and Vought SB2U (Vindicator) scout bombers from VMSB-241, Navy Grumman TBF ("Avenger") torpedo bombers from VT-8 detachment, and U. S. Army Air Force torpedo-carrying Martin B-26 ("Ma-rauder") bombers sent out to attack the Japanese carriers. Army Air Force "Flying Fortresses" likewise bombed the Japa-nese carrier force without success, although without losses to themselves.

Between 9:30 and 10:30 a.m., Douglas TBD (Devastator) torpedo bombers from VT 3, VT-6, and VT-8 on the three American carriers attacked the Japanese carriers. Although nearly wiped out by the defending Japanese fighters and an-tiaircraft fire, they drew off enemy fighters, leaving the skies open for dive bombers from Enterprise and Yorktown. VB-6 and VS-6 "Dauntlesses" from Enterprise bombed and fatally damaged carriers Kaga and Akagi, while VB-3 (Dauntlesses) from Yorktown bombed and wrecked carrier Soryu. American submarine Nautilus (SS-168) then fired torpedoes at the burn-ing Kaga but her torpedoes did not explode.

At 11 a.m., the one Japanese carrier that escaped destruc-tion that morning, Hiryu, launched "Val" dive bombers that temporarily disabled Yorktown around noon. Three and a half hours later, Hiryu's "Kate" torpedo planes struck a second blow, forcing Yorktown's abandonment. In return, Dauntlesses from Enterprise mortally damaged Hiryu in a strike around 5 p.m. that afternoon. The destruction of the Carrier Strike Force compelled Admiral Yamamoto to abandon his Midway inva-sion plans, and the Japanese Fleet began to retire westward.

The Navy will celebrate this epic battle across the Fleet June 3, 2011. Follow the history of the Battle of Midway in the next edition of the Coastline.

In this dynamic, video-driven, small-group experience, Francis Chan distills the nature of God into biblical, foundational truths every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the NAVSTA Rota Chapel Fellowship Hall. The study begins with a meal, followed with a discussion from 7 - 8 p.m.Amos Bible Study

A Bible study on Amos meets Wednesday, 6 p.m. at the Chapel Fellowship Hall.

Perhaps you are familiar with these words, I first learned them as a common table prayer: "God is great, God is good, let us thank him for this food." As a child, of course, it always had bothered me that "good" and "food" don't rhyme. (Although, now that

I have travelled to Ireland, I real-ized that they rhyme quite well if spoken in a thick Irish accent...)

But now as a pastor, I am struck by the amazing depth of those few words. God is good - morally perfect, supernaturally kind, a truly loving friend. And he is great - powerful, awesome,

perfectly just, and to be feared as a righteous judge. "Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God" (Romans 11:22).

How do these things work together? I cannot say I completely understand, but a discussion I had once helped me put it into perspective. Some years ago I

God is Great, God is Good All of the Timewas discussing leadership principles with some junior Marine officers at Parris Island. One asked, "What is more important, that my men fear me or love me?" My thoughts quickly turned toward our relationship with God, and thus I responded by asking, "Which is more important, that we love God or fear him?" His question, and the surrounding discussion, made me realize just how symbiotic, how related, these two concepts are. Listening in on the conversation, I heard these junior officers relate that a Marine officer whose men do not fear or respect him will find that any love his men have for him is quite shallow and empty.

His men may follow him, but more out of pity than confidence. Likewise, an officer whose men find no love of him will find their fear of him equally shallow. His severity may inspire absolute fear and dread and may terrorize his troops to follow him, but out of dread, again, not out of dedication or confidence, and such troops are less likely to persevere when the times are rough.

How analogous to what we are invited to discover about the living God. He is great, and thus to be feared, and he is good, and thus to be loved. May we follow him with such a devotion. Christians, in particu-lar, find in Jesus Christ one who tenderly invites us, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:28) - while this is the same Christ who has "a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty" (Revelations 19:15). May we learn, embrace, and continue to know our truly glorious and loving God. And as we do so, may we also follow his example, balancing justice and mercy, sternness and kindness, discipline and delight, in all those we are likewise called to love and serve.

Puerto Sherry

D I S C O V E R

12 May 24, 2012 C LVISTA

Construction started at the end of the ‘80s while Spain was drunk with hysteria as a new, fledgling democracy. The project was perhaps a bit ahead of its time. Puerto Sherry was to be the Puerto Banus of the Costa de Luz. But the economic crisis of the '90s propelled its economic unfeasibility and later its bankruptcy. In 2008, the new owners of the Marina Puerto Sherry Corporation Concessionary of Puerto Sherry were able to get through red tape and the bankruptcy, meaning new investments and renovations. The long-term project is the complete development of the Puerto Sherry complex; enlarging the port to accom-modate 1,000 moorings, an underground parking lot for 750 cars and finishing the Pueblo Marinero. But enough of the past and the future, let's talk about the here and now. If you want to get away from Rota, Valencia, Madrid, Lisbon, or Moron for a weekend, then you might want to check out Puerto Sherry. The area is an outdoorsman’s paradise. It offers one of the best spots in Europe for sailing and all types of nautical sports. If you like sailing, the 842-slip marina offers other services such as sailing schools, diving and kayaking. The four-star Hotel Puerto Sherry is a great place to stay and eat. Its three restaurants, bars, terraces and night club are a nice treat for anyone looking to get away for a weekend or start your weekend

on a Friday evening. If you feel like pampering yourself, it also has a beauty center with hairdressers and massages. The surrounding 37 acres offer many activities, pro-moting nautical activity: construction of a High Yield Center for elite athletes, sailing races organized by the Club de Mar and multiple sport activities promoted by other federations. If you want to get a group of friends together and party like Jay-Z, then head to the marina charter a boat and enjoy the Costa de Luz in the summer. But Puerto Sherry is more than yachting. It is a great place for dining or enjoying a drink, too. Along the Bay of Cadiz, there are restaurants that offer spectacular views of the ancient city of Cadiz. Take your family, guests or friends and enjoy an afternoon at the restaurants and then stroll down to one of the lounges or cafes and enjoy a drink while watching the boats go by as the sun sets over the ocean and Cadiz. If you want to make a day at the beach, you can do that, too. And while you are there, go explore the abandoned ruins of a 1,000-year-old Moorish fort. Yes, Puerto Sherry is a place to get at away from Rota. And while it is no Puerto Banus or Marbella, it does have the charm to make you feel like a million bucks. And while there is much decay from the dream that was to be, the New Puerto Sherry that will come about will be magnificent.

Utility companies want us to use en-ergy in a predictable way – in a way that makes it easier for them to guarantee they can provide the energy we want. When we call for more energy than they can easily provide, they are usu-ally able to deliver, but the cost can be very high for the last little bit that gets everyone through a cold snap in the winter or a heat wave in the summer. The utility company may need to start up inefficient and dirty generators for awhile, purchase from another utility provider or pay some customers to use less until the shortage is over.

That’s why utility bills can be com-plicated. In the past, home electric and natural gas bills were relatively straight forward in many areas, with a customer service charge plus a charge for energy consumed at a single rate per unit of energy. Now more and more home ac-counts are charged in a similar fashion to the way commercial accounts have been charged for years, in a way that rewards using energy at a steady rate, and using energy at night when the overall demand is low.

There are three main ways utilities encourage stable energy use through rates: 1) Time-of-use rates are different rates for different times of day. Higher, “on-peak,” rates encourage us to use less on weekdays during the day when people are using the most energy. Your utility company will set “on-peak” and “off-peak” times based on typical energy use patterns in your area.

by Ce1 (eXw) travis harvey, publiC works

Understanding Utility Billing2) Demand charges are charges based on your single highest peak use dur-ing the billing period. These charges encourage us to try to fit periodic high energy consuming processes into lower energy use periods. Most Navy bases pay demand charges, and they can be substantial in high electric rate areas. Some utility companies are so serious about encouraging us to limit our highest use that they charge for the highest demand on the system for an entire year. Demand charges can also be called transportation charges, and are starting to show up on natural gas bills as well as electricity bills. These charges help the utility have confidence that the capacity of their transmission lines will be adequate to deliver the required energy to cus-tomers.3) Tiered rates use one rate for the first so many kilowatt-hours used during the billing period, then a higher rate for the next so many kilowatt-hours used, and so on. Tiered rates require us to pay more for what we use that’s above a basic minimum allotment of energy, and, again, encourage us to try to stay within an energy budget.

Understanding how utility compa-nies bill for their services can help us all make wise choices regarding our energy use, both at work and at home.

If you have any questions or need information on conserving energy, contact your base energy manager at 727-2603 or call the energy hotline at 727-1797.

Navy Lodges are perfect for military families traveling on permanent change of station (PCS) orders. Navy Lodges reduce the stress of a PCS move with family suites featuring a living room, fully equipped kitchen, one and two bedrooms, with a queen-sized bed and single beds, to accommodate families transitioning to a new duty station. Navy Lodges offer a value up to 45 percent less than comparable civilian hotels. There are currently 40 Navy Lodge locations around the world.

“Families on PCS orders will find safe and comfortable first-class lodging with all the amenities you need for a longer stay,” said,NL Manager Luis Bernal, Navy Lodge Rota Spain. “The rooms are set up with kitchen amenities, microwave and refrigerator. This allows families to save money by cooking and eating in their room rather than going out to eat for every meal. As an added benefit, Navy Lodges offer a free breakfast for its guests each morning. Also, my staff will provide great guest service as well as information on the local area.”

Sixth grade students at David G. Farragut Elemen-tary School aboard Naval Station Rota, Spain bought their learning to life by holding a Medieval Fair.

Each student was tasked with finding information about anybody or anything from the Middle Ages. They had to create a poster and a costume to go with what they selected. Hailey Gruetter, a 6th grade student in John Jayo’s class, selected a torturer.

She researched and found out that the torturer could torture anyone that didn’t follow the rules at that time and that the torturing was done in secret.

Nadya Sterling, a 6th grade student, selected Lady of the Manor. In her research, she learned that the Lady watches the manor while her husband is away, ensures the servants don’t steal anything and is in charge of parties and making sure the right people are invited.

The Medieval Fair also included many others, such as the king, an alchemist, Marco Polo, knights, and market workers. The 6th graders invited students from all the other grades to come and visit their fair and hear and learn all about the Middle Ages.

The students also put on a Renaissance Fair. The Renaissance Fair was run the same as the Medieval Fair and covered the same time period, but this time the students focused on Florence, Italy and how it became the cultural center for the arts. They also had the option of choosing an explorer from that time period. Visiting students had more hands-on activities to participate in, in this event as they filled out application forms, took photos behind large cardboard cutouts and received items from the vendors after paying for them such as miniature paintings and crystals. These two events were both fun and educational.

kids said they really enjoyed the play. The visiting actors told Maria Camacho, DGF elementary culture teacher and the coordinator of the event, that it was their first interaction with American kids since they began this school year’s tour. They said that they found the experience to be challenging and different.

After the play was over, the visiting actors answered questions from the audi-ence and then thanked them for allowing them to come and visit their school.

Culinary News from Arcos GardensWorld-class chef, Marco Morgenthaler,

continuously seeks to surprise and reno-vate his offerings. One way to give diners the opportunity to sample his creations is

through a taster’s m e n u that he changes e v e r y 10 days.

Now, the emphasis is on spring produce; light and full of color, pleasing your palate with every bite: a cream, an incomparable salad, fish and a refreshing sorbet to pre-pare your taste buds to enjoy the most delicious meats. To finish it off, a dessert that will delight your sweet tooth. All of this in their beautiful dining room, full of light from high windows looking out over the golf course sprinkled with magnificent olive trees or on their pleasant terrace, make a superb dining experience. Some may remember that I commented on my experience at their Club House restaurant a couple of months ago. The setting is very pleasant, the service is excellent and the dishes are beautifully presented, original and delicious: dining at its best.

In addition to the taster’s menu, the res-taurant at Arcos Gardens offers Culinary Events. Coming up June 1 through the 10 are the Culinary Days dedicated to the re-nowned long stem strawberry from Puerto Serrano, carefully grown in the gardens of Arcos de la Frontera. The particularly juicy

and scented flavor as well as the high fiber content of the long stem strawberry makes it one of the most valued fruits of the area. This culinary event offers you the opportunity to enjoy this delicacy in a variety of imaginative ways.

Arcos Gardens has an exclusive of-fer for base personnel of 96 euros per night that is valid through the 30th of this month, so you still have time to take ad-vantage of it. As you know, it is a haven for golfers, but you don’t have to be one to enjoy a stay. Their hotel is a 300-year-old converted “cortijo” that is full of charm, and their villas and townhouses are won-derful for families or groups of friends. At Arcos Gardens you can also play tennis, paddle tennis or basketball, and there is a complete outdoor playground for the kids. This Memorial Day weekend is a good time to escape to nearby Arcos Gardens for a day or an overnight. It’s a chance to try this excellent restaurant, practice your favorite sport or just relax in their day spa. Additional package deals can be found on their web page. They offer a wellness package, Sports Pack-age, Culinary Package and Golf Classes Package. Go to www.arcosgardens.com and click on 'book online' and you can see rooms, packages and services. For more information or reservations, call 956-70-4131 or contact recepcion@arcosgardens.com .

Restaurante Al LagoThis great restaurant in Zarahara de la

Sierra has a Memorial Day Lunch special for just 24 euros per person. If you have yet to try this place, this is an opportunity to do so. They serve wonderful, original food in a spectacular setting. Also, start-ing tomorrow and running through the May 29, they are having their Indian Feast weekend, so if you like good Indian food this is the place to go. One of the owners is of Indian heritage, so it is authentic. You can find out more about upcoming events and specials at www.al-lago.es

FacedentThis is a new concept of a dental clinic,

since it involves dental and facial cosmet-ics. It is run by health professionals. Here they do dental bleaching, porcelain fronts and other dental cosmetic procedures as well as botox, mesotherapy, peelings etc. You can learn more at www.facedent.es or stop by the clinic at Avda. de la Marina 29 in Rota and see what they can do for you.

Mesón CrisanaThis newly opened restaurant is run

by experienced French chef, Christopher Jean Luc Rey. This explains the different flair of his dishes. He has many signature dishes such as duck Margret with Tintilla wine, his own homemade foie, tuna pave, shrimp delights with cheese and canutil-los of ham and cheese, to name a few. His offerings vary from week to week and he has a daily special so there is always something exciting to try. Mesón Crisana is located on the typical walking street

Mina in downtown Rota. Give it a try.Anything you want me to pass along?

R o t a s h o w s i t s s u p p o r t f o r R e a l B e t i sRota received a small treat this past

week as Real Betis, one of two premier division soccer teams that play in Sevilla, took the time to par-ticipate in an exhibition game against local team, Roteña. The game was a home-coming for José Al-berto Cañas, who was

born and raised in Rota and this past season became an integral part of Real Betis, which finished 13th in the final La Liga standings.

The atmosphere at the Arturo Puntas Vela, which is Roteña’s home field, was jovial as soccer fans savored the opportu-nity to see big time soccer and hang out with fellow soccer aficionados, for just 5 euros. The first half of the game was a cagey affair as Roteña put up a good fight and went into halftime with their heads up high, having only conceded two goals. Betis played the first half with many bench players and a handful of regulars including Cañas who was well received during his homecoming.

At age 24 Cañas has a bright future in Spanish soccer, and his constant running and effort on the field has made him a fan favorite across Spain.

In the second half, Betis put out a very skilled team that included forwards Rubén Castro and Roque Sata Cruz, who between them scored 23 goals in La Liga this season. Their class showed as they

dominated the game helping Betis cruise to an 8 - 1 victory. Fans quickly forget the final score, though, instead only remem-bering the energy and class that Betis displayed in the second half. Betis and Castro in particular showed just how skilled and talented La Liga players are, and fans of all kinds appeared to thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the show.

Betis played their last La Liga game on the May 13, after a draw against Barcelona 2 - 2. Their season will commence again in late August. However, to ensure play-ers stay sharp and in shape during the off-season' teams will often play in exhi-bition games such as these. The game also builds good will and increases the fan base, and Betis will play other games throughout Andalucía. The team plans to travel to China to play against local clubs.
