Presidents PageCIC TimesYou may remember the “stuffed bear”-like puppies I was fostering a month ago! This month I am fostering all black – hair,eyes and toes – Labrador puppies that eat so much, it is possible they will eat my two adult dogs very soon. The Lab naturecomes out and after I release them from their kennel in the morning, all they want are hugs and kisses; then they run to thefood area and jump up and down as if they have springs under their little footsies! This time they were not in a rubbish bin;rather two tourist couples on their way to a nice uphill stroll, found them thrown away on the side of the road, took themback to their room, cleaned them, fed them, kept them and when they were ready to go back home, called the Filozoikos.One girl, Sheba, and two boys, Buster and Mauro (I think Mavro). The nice English tourists had even found names for them!The next evening I went to a lecture set up by the Prefecture of Rethymno - first time - and I came away with fantasticstickers that say, ”Animals are not rubbish. Their abandonment is punishable by Law” to be placed on all the rubbish bins!I have stuck them everywhere from Rethymno town to Stavromenos - an11 km stretch.Enough said about animal welfare. I want to talk about a hospice. A hospice provides humane and compassionate carefor people in the last phases of their lives so that they may live as fully and comfortably as possible, with love from family& friends, and the professional care of the caregivers. In the beginning of June, I had the big pleasure of meeting FatherJohn, a Scottish - and English speaking - Christian Orthodox priest who is holding services in two Greek churches in theApokoronas area. Father John has a vision of establishing a Hospice or Long Term Debilitating Illness facility in West Crete. Ifhe is successful, his vision can be duplicated all over Crete. He asked me if I am interested and I told him that unequivocallyand without bringing the issue to the CIC Board, that he has my personal assurance that I will be fully involved in anythingthat will help to turn his vision into a reality.In this endeavor, I have been speaking with Anne Gregoe, a Scottish ex Hospice Administrator with a double Masters inHealth Services who arrived on the island of Skopelos wishing to work voluntarily in a Hospice. Little did she know that thereis not even a Law in this country that will provide the framework for the existence of a Hospice! The Law has changed, butthe word Hospice is still unknown to the Greek population and the Dept. of Health. Ms Gregoe found out that when sheused the Greek word for “Support” Ypostiriksis, she could work the system better – though she is telling me that a Greekword for Hospice indeed exists. After four years of untold bureaucratic labyrinths, they finally managed since this April of2008, together with four other Board Members and six volunteers to operate a “facility” for terminally ill patients on theisland. Today, this group of volunteers rent a small “store front” and cares for six people on the island. Every Monday theyoffer relaxation and reflexology classes, every Tuesday, they have a SymptomControl session, on Wednesdays they deal with Shopping, Home cleaning andtaking some of these six terminally ill people to a café at the paralia!Ms Gregoe told me that she is more than willing to help duplicate the effortsof the “Faros Skopelou” Lighthouse of Skopelos, into many Lighthouses all overGreece.I am continuing to speak with Father John and I am personally planning to joinhim in this vision. In the months to come, there will be more to tell you you.You need to start thinking if you want to participate in joining Father John andothers to bring this vision to reality.Until August, wish me happy Fourth of July.EvaThe “ Stavros Niachros” Hostel- HeraklionThe Stavros Niachros hostel was built bythe foundation of the shipping magnate,to provide accommodation for patientsand relatives undergoing treatment at theHeraklion University Hospital.It opened in 2004 in the grounds of thehospital, and has 28 spacious doublerooms, most with their own shower andtoilet, though several rooms share one. Onboth floors, there is a self-catering kitchen,with cooker and fridge/freezer, and thereis a microwave on the ground floor. Thereare adjacent dining areas and lounges onboth floors with comfortable settees. Thewhole hostel is decorated beautifully andtastefully in a restful combination of sandand pale blue colours.Prior to the start of my wife’s radiotherapytreatment, we visited the social servicesdepartment of the hospital, which islocated close to the Red Cross desk by theoutpatients’ entrance, before the mainhospital entrance. A very helpful lady whospoke good English explained to us thatit was not possible to make reservationsin advance, as the hostel has to respondto fluctuating demands. However, sheadvised us to get a copy of our last year’sGreek tax declaration, which shows bothof our imported pension incomes. Asthis was below 20,000 euros per annum,we could then stay at the hotel free ofcharge.On the day when her treatment was dueto start, the dept. of radiotherapy issuedus with a paper, which we took to thehostel warden. Over the ten-week periodof daily treatment, interrupted by strikes,and national holidays and service days forthe x-ray machines, we were able to leaveour possessions in the room when wereturned to Rethymno for the weekend.Each morning we came out of the hostelto be greeted by an island of lavender,rosemary and other herbs, and it wasthen just a few minutes stroll down tothe hospital. This gave us peace and restcompared with a hectic daily commute.The hostel is also available for shorttermuse, when a relative is taken in foremergency treatment. The current chargeis 10 euros per night for a patient and 15for a relative. You will need to get a paperfrom the hospital department explainingyour need to stay.CIC TIMES page 3The hostel kindly provides a change ofsheets, towels, and pillowcases, whichcan be collected from the warden on aMonday, though we also brought our ownlarge towels. It is a good idea to bringyour own plates, mugs cutlery and smallfrying pan and saucepan, which can bestored in a kitchen cupboard, along withtins of food.We are deeply grateful to the foundationand the wardens for the kindness and helpwe received. The wardens speak very littleEnglish, and it is only fair to point out thatvery few of the other residents do either.In addition, if you are by yourself ratherthan sharing a room with your partner,problems can arise when you room withsomeone from another culture. However,there can be a great community spiritamongst those staying there, especially ifyou can speak Greek. We hope that thisarticle may help others, but of course, youwill need to check for yourself, how thesystem is now operating.For further help and advice can also beobtained from the Cancer Support grouprun by Chris Parnassus- 6977559644cparnassus@hotmail.comBob and Eveleen Wright, Maroulas Rethymno,bobandev@otenet.gr

CIC TimesOut & About - White Mountain TraverseWhite Mountain Traverse (West to East), 9th to 11th June 2008The Dream: It is often that I have gazed upon The White Mountains during the two and a quarter years I have lived inCrete, dreaming that one day I would attempt to traverse the length of the massif. In my enthusiasm to revitalise my youngerjoys of walking and climbing in mountains I began to explore the perimeters of the massif almost 2 years ago and just overa year ago ascended the most accessible perimeter mountain peaks. Thus the terrain and the nature of The White Mountainswere becoming familiar to me and so the notion of organising a traverse of the range became much more my objective.On many of my later day excursions into the mountains I was accompanied by the very fit professional photographer SaraGilding, for whom ascending mountain peaks on foot was a new experience. Together we decided that a west to east routefrom Ksyloscala, near Omolos (at the head of the SamariaGorge) to Amoudhari (Askyfou plateau) would present anexcellent challenge to us. An E4 route across the massif,avoids mountain peaks. In any event it is merely a route,not a path. We decided that in our traverse we wouldwish to try to embrace the ascent of some the significantpeaks.For a corresponding amount of time I had always thoughtthat if ever I did attempt the traverse that it would beexcellent if it could be of some benefit to others far lessfortunate than ourselves, instead of merely for my owngratification. I wanted to try to ensure the event, when ithappened, could be in support of children with disabilitiesthat deny them the possibility of all such opportunities intheir lives.A few months ago I became aware of the charity knownas ‘ELEPAP’ [The Hellenic Society for Disabled Children].Many of the children they support suffer from CerebralPalsy. The organisation was formed in 1937 and has sevencentres throughout Greece. One such centre is in Chania(covering all of Crete) and the Medical Director there, MrGiorgos Manousellis, welcomed the idea that I should tryto raise some funding for the Chania centre by means ofNew Kydonia Suites & StudiosDARATSOS - HANIAPool - Restaurant - BarAnglo-Greek family run complex,Magnificent swimming pool,Restaurant/bar & fanstatic views.Non-residents welcome to visitfor a drink, lunch, dinner orspend the day around the pool.Kids pool and safe grassy play areas.No noise, no traffic, no roads!Special occasions catered for.Apartment bookings welcome,10% discount forCIC members.COME AND ENJOY AND RELAXWITH US AT NEW KYDONIASUITES & STUDIOS.ALL WELCOME.PLENTY OF PARKING.CALL LISA , MO OR TERRY ON 28210-32611 OR 694579060808/08CLAY PIGEON SHOOTINGStunning location in Western CreteHosted & Coached by Ian Love:BASC Proficiency Award.Price €65 per person which includes, coaching fee, shotgun fit & hire, cartridges (50), clay pigeons, transport, coffee & lunch.Everything you need for anenjoyable & exciting dayFor further information contact Ian on:Tel: 28250 31270 Mob: 6945508302e-mail : ian.sportingclays@gmail.comBeginners & experienced shots welcome.Registered & insured - special rates for CICmembers & parties of four and over.04/09 06/08CIC TIMES page 6

Out & About - White Mountain TraverseCIC TimesWhite Mountain Traverse (West to East), 9th to 11th June 2008sponsorship for our traverse. I engaged the help of friends bydistributing sponsorship forms to them. Thank you friends foryour productive efforts in soliciting donations. Of course therewas a lot of expedition preparation to attend to as well. It wouldbe foolhardy for us to attempt this traverse without the bestof knowledge and preparation. We spoke to some of the mostknowledgeable sources of information and our confidence dulygrew.The team:Sara Gilding (Kefalas); Melanie ‘Mel’ Trickett (Bristol); RyanHughes (Exeter); Matthew ‘Matt’ Sica (Bristol); Colin Mackie(Norfolk); and myself – Keir Hughes (Kalamitsi Amigdalou).In support:Patricia ‘Tricia’ Hughes; Roger Gilding; Judith ‘Judy’ Mackie.The Undertaking:Many serious elements of such an undertaking require carefulthought. For example, there is a great need to take sufficientwater. We therefore each carried about tenlitres of water and power drinks. That is a lotof weight and a lot of space.The rocky massif in summer is similar to astony desert: very hot by day and cold bynight. Adequate protection from the sun isas important as the water. There is simply noshade up there to afford relief from the sun.Finding our way through was crucial to oursafety and security as well as our timing andour morale. The interior of the massif can easilyconfuse even when you have a good sense ofdirection and can apply map and compassskills. However our experience was thankfullya good one despite needing to check andrecheck when doubts loomed at times – eventhough we had good visibility throughout ourtraverse.The ruggedly rocky and fractured terraininterspersed by swallow holes (sink holes) isvery hard under foot. We all had sore soles toour feet by the end of our gruelling challenge.But despite this and minor scrapes, cuts,scratches, split toenails, pulled ‘this and thats’and some sore blisters, we were fortunate thatnobody suffered anything more serious.The End in Sight:On the afternoon of the Wednesday 11th June wewere on our way out from the central massif andtraversing across the very steep and loose screeslopes of the northern flank of the three peakedmountain called Kastro, which is easily seen fromthe Apokoronas area. And we made it down at longlast to the Askyfou plateau. It was about 5pm.Well we were all very tired and longing for a goodnights sleep in comfortable beds, but we wereelated too by our achievement. It had proved afabulous and demanding challenge for all six ofus. We are so fortunate and privileged to haveexperienced the traverse and we each acknowledgethat.The massif is ruggedly beautiful. The rocks andthe colours in the differing lights of the day are ofcourse marvellous to witness first hand. We had aneagle circle around us at one stage and on severaloccasions saw Griffin Vultures at close quarters.I had often felt my smallness and vulnerabilityamongst the high peaks and ridges. Whateverelse I may do, this adventure is something I willnever forget; neither the excellent company of theteam.Abilities and Disabilities:This brings me to the thoughts I have had of my own gratefulnessof being sufficiently able bodied to do any such things atwhatever stages in a lifetime. If you can make a donation toELEPAP and the excellent work they undertake, either now or inthe future, no matter how small it may be, then we please askthat you do so. You can always give your donation to one ofthe executives of the CIC or direct to the charity by sending ordelivering to Mr Giorgos Manousellis, ELEPAP, Chania.Thank goodness we all came down from the mountains welland uninjured. (A worry I harboured all along). A good nightssleep, some stretch exercises and a feast or two …. and heypresto ….. we all feel just great! Aren’t we fortunate indeed?!We even have a wonderful selection of great photographs torecall the pain, the joy, the laughs (yes, we had a few) and thebeauty of it all.Keir Hughes, Kalamitsi Amigdalou, ApokoronasCIC TIMES page 7

Takinga trip back home to see grandchildren, attend to business,visit parents, support children during the off season is soimportant because of the cost and time involved. While thereis no problem during the Summer months, many of ourmembers find it very hard to travel back during significantholidays or other events due to lack of service and cost.I will write to EasyJet on behalf of the board of the CIC butI think we should take it one step further and get an onlineand paper petition going!Our very competent and hardworking webmaster AndyDavies may be able to set this online petition up soonerthan you think! A petition on paper will be easier for thosewho do not have easy access on the Internet.I believe that our success in convincing Easy Jet to fly once aweek between England and Crete (Chania or Heraclion) willbenefit Everybody - and I mean Everybody. I also believe in“Ask and you shall receive, Now”. I personally have askedand I assure you I have received; both from higher sourcesand corporate sources!SincerelyEva Smith,President CICpresident@thecic.euA Big Thank You!Dear CIC members and others,We had a great time on Saturday, May 31st at the concertand The Paradise Singers performed to a very enthusiasticfull house (about 120) at the Catholic Church in Chania.We would like to say thank you to those who came and totell people that as a result of the ‘retiring collection’, we areable to donate 250 Euros to ELEPAP in Souda, the school forphysically and mentally handicapped local children and afurther 210 Euros to the Catholic Church in Chania.Thanks and best wishes,Bob Scott10/08CIC TIMES page 8

Reviews / LettersCIC TimesRecent ExhibitionsLILIANA N.Yexhibited at theGallery “XOBLI”in Vamos, fromSaturday June 7 toSunday June 22Letter from Cafe Vafe’s New OwnersThe CIC welcomes the new owners of Cafe Vafe. Here is theirletter to us printed in its entirety this month. Cafe Vafe islocated at the Vafe Square inNea Hora, Chania.Hi, we are the Mitchell Familyfrom New Zealand and we arethe new owners of Cafe Vafe inChania. Our names are Cam andTracie, and our two childrenare: Victoria, aged 9 and Conor,aged 6. Although we come fromNew Zealand, both Tracie and Ihave traveled extensively. Traciewas, in fact, born in the U.K.but her family emigrated to NewZealand when she was 7 andshe now considers herself a Kiwiwith British roots. I have lived inGreece before, on the island of Poros in the Saronic Gulf as wellas in Lindos on Rhodes, and have always intended to come backto Greece. This, however, is the first trip abroad for Victoria andConor (a very big step for such little legs).Tracie and I were living and working in London when Traciebecame pregnant with Victoria, so we decided to move back toNew Zealand in order to give our children (we always planned onhaving two children) a more rural start to their lives. We alwaysintended to bring them back to Europe when they were older, buthad no definite time frame on this.We have been popping online every now and then over the lastfew years and looking at properties and businesses for sale, butnothing really caught our eye until we saw Café Vafe this February.We liked the look and feel of both Café Vafe and Chania. CaféVafe as it looked like more of a local’s Café, while still retaining aGreek feel to it. As we are a family, we were not really interestedin a beachfront, tourist oriented business. We wanted somethingthat we, as a family, could build more long term relationships withour customers. We liked the look of Chania as it appeared to be alarger town with more facilities - schools and a hospital etc. – thatmay be needed by a family, without being too large.We then felt, as we corresponded more, that we had built up abit of a rapport with Bartek and Gosia (the owners at that time)and that we would like their customers as our customers. After acouple of days thinking about it, Tracie (otherwise known as “theBoss”) said “Let’s go for it.” So we did, and here we are.We arrived in Chania on the 27th of April, had one day off andthen dove straight in to the Café. As I write this, we are past themid point of the paper work process and it should all be complete(Greek time allowing) by the time that you read this. Everythinghas been going smoothly with the change over and we are feelingmore comfortable in the Café. We do, however, feel that it will takeus a little longer to get fully comfortable with the operation of CaféVafe, and ask that any of you who visit us bear with any hiccoughsthat you may encounter. We are also very receptive to constructivecriticism and welcome any comments if you feel that we are notquite up to par with anything (I am still not 100% happy with myCappucinos right now, but they improve every day).Sally Heardexhibited at theGallery Mitropolis,fromThursday June 12to Sunday June 22Obviously we will develop our own style as we settle in and therewill be some minor cosmetic changes to Café Vafe (you should popin and see our clocks), but these will be subtle and at first glanceyou should not notice much change in the Café. We will be keepingMonday night as Movie night (my apologies to all who were herefor the “Fiddler on the Roof” fiasco), and the Bridge players willalways be welcome on Sunday nights. We are avid Board Gameplayers and are looking at re-introducing Board games night on aSaturday. We have a selection of Board Games in Transit from NewZealand, but I doubt that they will have arrived by the time that youread this. Any Board Gamers who have games of their own will bemore than welcome to bring them along, and maybe we can helpwith finding playersOn a personal note, we are settling in quite nicely, there have beena couple of homesick moments, and finding a lovely apartmentclose to the Café has helped this immensely (our heartfelt thanksgo out to Gilly, whose contacts enabled us to find this apartmentso quickly and also found the lovely beds which meant that we didnot have to sleep on the floor). We look forward to meeting you alland consider strangers to be friends that we have not met yet.CIC TIMES page 9

Chania CadastralOffice, I.Sfakianaki 30, Chania, 28210 47170, Manager Mrs. Georgia Nikiforakiwhat to do IF YOU DID NOT SUBMIT YOUR REAL ESTATE PROPERTY FOR INCLUSION IN THE NATIONAL CADASTRESome real property owners did not submit a statement on their real estate property at the process of the first 340 regions of thecountry (statement of Law 2308/1995). These real estate owners cannot submit an application to register their property (if thecadastral survey has been completed in the region). If you have not submitted an application to register your real estate in theCadastre, you will face the following possibilities:* Your real estate property has been registered to an “unknown householder”. In order to secure your property rights,you must do the following:1. You can follow the process of “Obvious Error”, if there is a common title of possession right. Invoking the common titleof property, you can submit your application in the appropriate Cadastral Office... The Head of the office is responsible for theacceptance or the rejection of the demand of correction and issues a relative decision within 15 days. If a decision is not issuedwithin 15 days, or if the Cadastral Head rejects your application, you can resort to the Cadastral Judge.2. You can follow the process of “Voluntary Jurisdiction”. It is a simple and short process of juridical correction in which, afteryou submit an application in front the Cadastral Judge in the One-Panel Court of First Instance in the locality of your real estateproperty, the court judges without litigation.* Your real estate property has been registered to a “specific third party” or the “Greek Government”. In order to secureyour property rights, you must do the following:1. You can follow the process of filing a lawsuit against the party who submitted an application and therefore has disputedyour property rights.2. You can follow the process of “Obvious Error”, if there is no real property dispute and the third party who holds your propertytitle, agrees to the correction of the initial property registration.To start a correction process, you have 8 years from the day of the relevant Cadastre’s office started in the area of your propertyor 10 years if you can prove that you reside and work permanently outside Greece.In all cases, the National Cadastre Office advises not to wait until the 11th hour. Someone “owes” your property rights. Moreover,without legal title, you may not be able to give, will, sell or conduct any real estate transaction.NEW EFFORTDuring the first semester of 2008, real property owners of another 107 new areas will be asked to submit a declaration of theirright(s) within the period of June 17 and September 30, 2008. A special campaign in the Media will precede the submission ofthese declarations, so that citizens are informed on the cadastral survey procedure. According to the Secretary of Infrastructure(YPEXODE), the goal is to finish with the entire area of Greece by the year 2010.Greek Citizens living outside Greece as well as foreign real property owners (living outside Greece) will be informed through theMinistry of Foreign Affairs, Greek Embassies and the Greek Media abroad. All other property owners, Greek Citizens and Residentswill follow the same procedureA list of the new areas has been published; however, it appears that these new 107 new areas do not include any locations onCrete.CIC TIMES page 10

The Roaming ReporterCIC TimesThere are basic changes to the procedure of including one’s property into the national cadastre and the Government is explainingthe reasons for the changes, as follows:* Reduce the time and cost of the cadastral survey procedure.1. The data collected will be crosschecked and verified.2. Following that, they will be publicly presented only once, so that the interested parties can submit either correction applicationsfor simple (obvious) mistakes, or objections to be judged by a committee, in which a judicial officer will be presiding.* Simplify the correction procedure for the so-called “obvious mistakes”1. Following a simple application by the interested party, the Land Registrar – Head of the Cadastral Office – can correct theso-called obvious mistakes, which refer to the beneficiary’s data, simple arithmetic mistakes and other formal data, observingconditions, which guarantee that unauthorized modifications are impossible.* Accelerate and simplify the procedure of judicial correction of the registrations referring to an “unknown owner”.1. In case a property owner does not submit an ownership declaration during the cadastral survey procedure, their property isregistered in the National Cadastre as an “unknown owner”.2. If the property owner holds official legal deeds, he/she can request the correction of the relevant registration even after thecompletion of the cadastral survey. Up to now, the correction was possible only through a strict, expensive and time-consumingprocedure.3. Corrections of this type will be now performed through a simple, time-effective, special legal procedure (voluntary jurisdiction),in which the court decides without litigation and the procedure is completed in a very short period.* Solve the problem of area discrepancies1. It is about a problem that sometimes occurs between the area of a property as measured by the Cadastre and the correspondingarea noted on the deed. Now, discrepancies of up to 10% between the aforementioned areas are accepted, so that the issuance ofa building permit, the transfer of property etc. are not impeded.how do you know if your property is included in the new areasStep 1 - Visit this link http://www.ktimatologio.gr/pdf/YpoKtimatogr.pdflog to download a four-page PDF document that listsall the new 107 areas for inclusion in the National Cadastre (of course in Greek)Step 2 - Visit this link to download/print the application you must submit http://www.ktimatologio.gr/pdf/documents/d1.pdf.If needed, an example is available here - http://www.ktimatologio.gr/pdf/documents/ypodeigma1.pdfStep 3 - Pay a €35.00 to any Banking Institution and attach the proof of payment to the application.You cannot walk into a Bank and pay the fee.

However, you do needeither a fondue dish, a heavy ceramic, or a metal dish you canput over a tea light because you need to keep the mixture soft.But, please remember , the dish will get very hot.Take a good basket of strawberries, carefully washed6 oz / 150 g good dark chocolate ( at least 74% cocoa)200 ml thick. or whipping creamA pinch of saltWooden skewers (the ones you use for making souvlaki)- Break the chocolate into pieces- Gently heat the cream in a saucepanuntil small bubbles form- Add the chocolate to the cream andwhisk thoroughly- Add the pinch of salt- Put the mixture into a warm bowl- Skewer the strawberries, dip them inthe chocolate mix andVoila, A chocoholics paradise.Now for somewhere to eat.If you like to watch your pizza cooking then try Rodaria inGeorgioupolis, they have an outside pizza oven, a good choice oftoppings and they do take away. One of the oldest restaurantsin the village, away from the main square, 50 yards from theNational Highway, opposite the offices of Lifestyle Homes. Thefood can be a little touristy, you will probably be served bothchips and rice with your main course. However, two of myfavourite things on their menu are drunken lamb chops andliver cooked in a delicious red wine sauce.If you are lucky, and they still have some left, you may be offereda delicious sweet made from rose petals, served with yoghurt.That’s all for July, see you again in August.CIC TIMES page 13
