CostaBlancaPeople - Edition 589 - June 30th 2015

A message from the Editor As our front page story says, this is the beginning of a new era for the CoastRider team. This week, we have changed our name to the Costa Blanca People we are all very excited and positive about this change. I have worked for this newspaper for the last eleven years and have seen it grow from a 40 page publication to a wonderful local information resource, with a pagination at times reaching 120!

We pride ourselves on being ‘the people’s paper’ and we will continue to maintain this ethos. Our new name, I believe, is more in keeping with our core values of information and integration – we are ‘the people’ working on behalf of ‘the people’ – whether business owners, charity groups, local residents or (so wonderful to see at this time of year) holiday makers.

Of course, there is a darker side to our motivation to change the name and as

you will have read in our front page story, it comes down to a rival newspaper trademarking the word ‘CoastRider’ back in 2006 before our current Managing Director Claire Richards bought the business in 2007. The name was then resold last year to a holding company established by the previous owner of The CoastRider and we were notified recently that our application to have this transaction reversed was declined.

However, the ‘nasty’ bit had but a small part to play in our rebrand. It is time, we decided, to move on, to look to the future and become an even better newspaper. Our new name allows us to move on, and move up.

We made sure we personally visited as many of our clients as possible over the last few weeks to tell them about our new name. On each visit, we took all of our paperwork including the contract of sale for the business from 2007, receipts of payment, letters from the rival newspaper demanding amounts up to

€30,000 to buy the name, all of the correspondence relating to the trademark and much more besides. This information remains available to view if any of our clients would like to have a look, please email us at office@costablancapeople.com to arrange an appointment.

Finally, I would like to thank all of our friends, readers and clients for their support and positivity in this decision.

Everyone we went to see agreed it was the best decision we could make and wished us well for the future (see pages 64 and 68 of this week’s paper for more words of support).

As you’ll see below, your team remains the same as it has always been so feel free to give any of us a call or send us an email with any queries you have and we’ll be happy to answer your questions.

BITE SIZE Five day heatwave NEWS: hits whole of Spain That was the title of the Torrevieja Classics and Specialist Car Club’s latest jaunt out. The reason? It took them in almost a full circle round the Mar Menor.

The 26 members of the classic car club started out from Lo Monte Hotel on the N332 and travelled down the coast to the La Manga Strip. The La Manga Strip road is 22 kilometres long and only serves to connect the properties and beaches on La Manga. When you get to the end, you have to come back.

Further refreshments were taken at the Boat Restaurant on the Mar Menor beach before starting on the return journey.

In San Pedro Marina the car enthusiasts stopped at El Hombre Del Velero Restaurant where they enjoyed a three course meal delivered by Carlos and his staff. The club would like to thank them for the way they were looked after.

A huge mass of warm air has brought an intense five-day heatwave to the whole of Spain. The hot spell began at the start of the weekend on Friday and is due to last until at least today (Tuesday) across the mainland and Balearic Islands, says the State meteorological agency, AEMET. A 'surface anti-cyclone' and a warm front at high altitudes mean that cloudy

The whole of mainland Spain and the Balearics were placed on 'yellow alert' by Sunday as thermometers crept even higher still – the Tajo, Ebro and Guadiana valleys were raised up to 'orange alert' and

But Cantabria and its neighbours to the west, Asturias and Galicia, both heated up yesterday however, with temperatures hitting 40ºC – practically unheard-of in this part of the country where the weather is typically more like that of the UK than of the Mediterranean.

Night temperatures also hit tropical levels, exceeding 20ºC in the southern half of mainland Spain and reaching up to 25ºC in some areas.

BITE SIZE Reach out fashion show marred by theft NEWS: It was a full house at Catorce in Benijofar on Friday as Reach Out Torrevieja, the charity that supports the poor and homeless in the surrounding area, staged a fundraising fashion show.

All of the clothes modelled were done

so to showcase the wide range, good quality and affordable prices of the items available in the Reach Out Charity Shop at Calle Dona Sinforosa, Torrevieja. After the show the clothes modelled went on sale together with a selection of other clothing items, handbags, jewellery, shoes, scarves and accessories from the shop.

A Tombola offering a comprehensive selection of prizes complimented the afternoon and together with a Cream Tea offered by therestaurant at just 5 euros a head, helped to boost the coffers.The takings for the clothing and tombola amounted to a much appreciated 313 euros all of which was taken in less than two hours.

The organisers said: “We would like to thank everyone who came along to the event for their support. The charity is only able to continue its work with the poor and homeless through community

donations. We are also grateful the Paul and Martin, the owners of Catorce for their kindness and the hard work of their team in making the event a success.”

The money will be used to support the ongoing work of the charity which includes providing food parcels to families in financial difficulty and providing a hot shower, clothes and food to the homeless.

Reach Out also offers a friendly ear and somewhere people can get a hot or cold drink and spend time among friends. The charity relies on donations of money or goods from the local community to help continue its work.

However, unfortunately a rather unsavoury incident marred this afternoon of 'giving' as a sentimental ornament of an elephant was stolen from the

Organisers of the event from Reach Out are hopeful that the person responsible will read this article and anonymously return the elephant to its rightful owners at the restaurant.

In our article ‘Reach Out to families, the homeless and now young mothers’, we mentioned that Reach Out would like to thank its British sponsors who were so supportive in their first years.

Reach Out would like to emphasise that it is not just grateful to the British for their support but to all the other nationalities who have contributed and continue to contribute to this very important cause.

Reach Out is very much an international organisation which relies on many different nationalities to volunteer and donate.

Ten point plan for the first 100 days ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL

suzanne@coastrider.net The new coalition party in Torrevieja have put forward their ten point action plan for the first 100 days of their government. On 25th June Fanny Serrano (PSOE) took on the role of spokesperson for the Torrevieja’s municipal government and announced, with Victor Ferrández (IU) what their immediate actions would be.

They include: 1. To conduct a minute’s silence at council meetings when there has been an incidence of domestic violence 2. To pursue cases of corruption through the courts 3. To review and analyse municipal court litigation 4. To open an office to defend those affected by bank evictions 5. To invite a representative of the opposition parties to attend local government meetings and brief the press on the content of these meetings 6. To publish on the municipal website a declaration of assets for all councillors and temporary staff within the Municipal Government 7. To attendance at religious ceremonies will be done in a personal and voluntary capacity and will not be a requirement 8. To audit and review plans in relation to public debt and land use 9. To withdraw the prosecution of several police officers as a result of the peaceful protests they held 10. The agreement that councillors will

pay their own mobile phone expenses and not have these paid by the municipal budget In a recent interview given by Fanny Serrano in English she claimed that the foreigners’ office would not be closed, ‘I think the problem is that the PP think everything is their own,’ says Fanny. ‘It’s for all citizens, so you can’t just close it in that way.’

Later in the interview she explains that they will need to study the departments to see which are overrepresented and which need more staffing. ‘We need several weeks to study each department and make decisions,’ she says.

In the interview she was keen to stress that the coalition will continue to work with foreigners and that they recognise their important role in Torrevieja; ‘Foreigners are very important.

We have more than half of the population which is foreign. The PP forgot the foreigners, they only look for you when they need you, every four years, just to vote. We don’t want that, we want an interaction between the foreigners, the Spanish, the government and so on, we want another kind of town.’

When asked about the potentially divisive nature of having a five-party coalition she replied, ‘In Torrevieja we have five parties with the same programme, the same vision for Torrevieja, and all going in the same direction.’

The new government is clear on the importance of ousting corruption. This remains a key issue on which many voters made their choice. Fanny

Serrano has given an assurance that every case that is uncovered will be denounced and that they are ‘not going to allow any single case of corruption in the town hall.’

With a Green Party councillor as Mayor it is to be expected that the environment will be a key feature of government plans over the coming months.

For Torrevieja, Fanny says that this will mean having a,‘place that people want to be.

That’s very important for the heart of the city, cleaner, greener with more spaces for the public and we are going to start with this.’

One of the first intentions of the municipal government is to halt some aspects of the previous town plan including the planning permission given for protected land. There will be a rolling plan for councillors to visit urbanisations but they also want people to come to the town hall; ‘talk to us, write and tell us what’s happened, because now everything is open, we are not closed as we used to be.’

In two years time Fanny Serrano will be the mayor of Torrevieja. The last woman to have the top job being Rosa Mazón Valero (PSOE) in 1983.José Manuel Dolónwill lead for the next two years andhas made it clear that he wants to be a hands-on mayor, governing from the streets.

There is no doubt that it is early days in terms of seeing how well their ten point plan is put into operation.

However, with this firststep taken, the residents of Torrevieja know at least that the parties can reach agreement on some issues.

Medieval Market in La Nucía It is back to the olden days on 10, 11 and 12 July, when La Nucía goes back in time. What started, ten years ago, as a commemorative event to celebrate the 300th birthday of La Nucía has now become an annual show not to be missed.

Amata, the regional craft association which organises the market, tries to bring something different each year.

This year there will be two groups of

musicians, one of which will provide the dulcet tones to which an oriental lady will swirl as she makes her way along the narrow streets. She also is an expert in the whirling dances of the sufis.

The seventy stalls which line the streets will display an extremely varied assortment of cunningly crafted goods - everything on the stalls is made by the people on the stall and often you can even watch them make new to replace what they sold the day before. Nothing is imported, nothing comes from small factories or is made by friends or family elsewhere - that is the Amata philosophy and they are pretty strict.

The stalls will show original leather handbags and belts, wooden toys and puppets, hand-painted tiles and ceramic ware, paintings and of course a lot of original jewelry in silver, glass, ceramics, enamel, copper and macramé. You can watch a smith, two bookbinders, a stone cutter and a wood carver at work, and two potters threaten to bring along their wheel to

allow people to transform a lump of clay into a small vase or bowl.

When comes the time to rest the eye and feed the stomach, the visitor can choose between various taverns with beer, wine and roasted meat, a pulperia with juicy bits of octopus or an Arabic tea tent with mint-flavoured tea and eastern pastry. Other stalls offer cheese direct from the farm, or sausages and hams, preserves and jams, fig cakes and honey - all made to original recipes. For the children there is an old-fashioned merry-go-round and various medieval table games, and a comely lady telling stories (in Spanish only, but she is nice to watch even if you don't understand all of it).

As you enter La Nucía village, watch out for the signs directing you to the Mercado Medieval. The Market opens at 6 pm and continues till at least midnight and perhaps later if there's lots of folk around.

For more information call 639 979 678 (Elvira speaks quite good English).

SUDDEN DEATH OF LOCAL BUSINESS MAN SHOCKS LOCAL COMMUNITY The sudden death of Mr. Keith Peacock, owner of Simply Doors Espa単a (Quesada) has shocked his family, friends, work colleagues and customers in Quesada and the surrounding area.

The funeral, which took place on Thursday 25th June was attended by upwards of 150 people, which included his mum Peggy, sister Karen and her husband Ed, his older brother Steven, and, his lifelong friend Les, his step-daughter Donna with husband Mike and their two children.

Keith has worked with Simply Doors since its first day of trading in 2006, and took over ownership approximately 3

years ago. It was a regular occurrence for customers to call into the showroom in Quesada to "sing Keith's praises." He took great pride in his work and was always grateful when Maureen or Gary told him that yet another customer had visited the showroom to compliment him on his quality of work and his friendly manner.

To say that Maureen and Gary have been overwhelmed with messages of shock, disbelief and sadness is an understatement. Messages of condolence have been received from the U.K. Portugal and different regions of Spain which gives testament to Keith's popularity.

As a keen Darts and Pool player he became a well known and very popular "team player" which became obvious at his funeral and post funeral celebration where many people talked to Keith's family offering their condolences and support.

Maureen and Gary are committed to fulfilling all of the outstanding installations that have been arranged, and, in Keith's memory, will continue trading until long term arrangements are made.

We can only close by saying that Keith was a "good guy" and he will be sorely missed Keith Peacock 20 March 1958 - 19 June 2015 R.I.P. Friend

€11,000 more and we’re there!

■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL suzanne@coastrider.net

Age Concern’s thermometer shows that they are well over half way towards buying the new minibus they need.

Their current bus is nearly 12 years old and needs its ITV every six months because of its age. This means that keeping the bus running is costing a lot of money in maintenance and repairs. It cost Age Concern €1,200 just for a new gearbox last year. In other words, it really is time to replace it!

However, new buses don’t come cheap and Age Concern Costa Blanca Sur are trying to raise the €30,000 needed not only to buy the bus but to adapt it too. It will need wheelchair access and other safety features that future passengers might require. So far they have raised €18,896. ‘We got off to a good start,’ explains Maureen Payne, their president, ‘Dave’s Coaches chose us as their charity and gave us €7,000 at the beginning of the campaign.’

It’s not all been large amounts though. Small organisations have grouped together to donate what they can and Maureen is planning to recognise them and promote them all after the final euro for the bus is collected. ‘I’ve never written so many thank you letters in my life,’ says Maureen. ‘People have been so generous and at this rate we are hoping to reach our target by Christmas.’

Concern had started this appeal and took it back to the committee as a suggestion. They agreed that it was a good cause for us to help with.’

Maureen had no idea that such a big donation was on its way. ‘When they called me to tell me they had collected this money, I had to sit down, I was so surprised,’ she says.

Although Help Vega Baja has a wider brief than Age Concern, they do overlap.

‘Many of the people who come to us are supported by Age Concern too,’ says Michelle. ‘We are looking forward to seeing the new bus out on the streets.’

An invaluable resource The bus is a very important resource for the group. It is used to transport people to and from the day centre in La Siesta as the majority do not drive or

around 50 or so who travel here by their own means.’

‘It’s a really important resource,’ agrees Michelle, ‘People can become isolated here, even in their own homes.

Perhaps they’ve suffered a bereavement or are just finding it harder to get around themselves. It’s vital that there are people like Age Concern who they can turn to.’

Age Concern also have a ‘befrienders team’ who visit people, do their shopping and help out with other practical matters like getting prescriptions. The things that are taken for granted until you can’t do them for yourself any more.

The group have come along way since they first opened their centre in La Siesta ten years ago. ‘We have always managed just on public donations, we

Help Vega Baja The latest organisation to boost Age Concern’s collection is the charity Help Vega Baja. They have raised €5,000 euros which was presented in the form of a very large cheque on 23rd June at Age Concern’s La Siesta base. They raised the money through their own collections including from their charity shop in San Miguel and collection boxes.

‘We think it’s a very deserving cause,’ says Michelle Masson, their new president. ‘We like to support causes where there is something tangible to see at the end of it. This bus will continue to bring benefits to people well into the future. We saw that Age

have had to give up driving themselves.

It’s also used to take people to the monthly luncheon club.

Although the base for Age Concern is in La Siesta, Torrevieja, their catchment extends up the Orihuela Costa, to just below Gran Alacant and inland too.

People are brought to the centre to socialise, borrow books and story tapes and to perhaps have a cup of coffee on the veranda overlooking the park.

‘We have 60 people a month who we transport backwards and forwards,’ says Maureen. ‘Most of them wouldn’t be able to come otherwise. We also have

don’t get any grants from anyone,’ says Maureen. With the top of their thermometer in sight now, Age Concern are wondering who it will be who will finally help them reach their target.

What you can do If you are thinking of holding an event and are looking for a deserving charity to support then please consider Age Concern. You can also donate directly including through the collecting tins in their two charity shops and in the day centre.

The jungle book as you’ve never seen it before Yes, there was Mowgli, Shere Khan, Baloo and Bagheera but there was so much that was different about this performance too. The dance school ‘Payas’ presented their interpretation of The Jungle Book at El Teatro Municipal in Torrevieja on 27th June.

Elephants danced flamenco and monkeys danced funky.

The choreography mixed the traditional story characters authentically with the different dance styles that Payas offer in their school. There was a lovely twist to the start of the show as Melani Payas’ baby made his first appearance on the

stage as the very young Mowgli.

It wasn’t just the choreography that stood out. The costumes and make up once more demonstrated Payas’ attention to detail and professionalism.

The group had been rehearsing for this performance for just over a month and in that time had succeeded in bringing together over 100 performers to entertain a packed auditorium.

There was one down side for those taking part. Make up and hairstyles were completed at midday and had to be kept intact until the performance at 9.00 pm. The costumes weren’t

conducive either to wearing on one of the hottest days of the year. Vultures, monkeys and wolves must have been roasting in their furry outfits and the elephants none too comfortable in their full body suits. If they were suffering in the heat you couldn’t tell during the performance.

Credit goes to those participating and all those parents who managed to preserve costume, make up and hairstyle to delight the audience and make this a production to remember.

Coachtrips Charity fun days on the Coast DaSeevouridfull´sprogramme & book online at

The local communities of Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja proved, as if there was ever any doubt, how kind-hearted they are in supporting local charities with not one but two events last week.

The first was held at the Emerald Isle in La Florida on Thursday and was in aid of Help at Home Costa Blanca. The event was in conjunction with Sunshine

FM and inaddition to the market stalls a day of entertainment was the main draw for the crowds.

All artists gave their time for free and included: TAABS, Raquel Peña Flamenco for All, Stevie Spit, Melanie Fitzpatrick, Dan Davy, Grace, Juan Carlos,

Legends guitar duo and Terry Hart. Funds were also raised through a prize raffle.

The second event of the week was hosted by EasyCars Torrevieja from its new car lot at Punta Prima and was in Aid of Help at Home Costa Blanca and Reach Out Torrevieja. The fun day had lots going on from 11am until 5pm including stalls, a bouncy castle, hog roast,

auction and a mechanical bull.

Again money was raised through market stalls and an auction.

The event was run in conjunction with Sunshine FM, compered by Tony Horrocks and Dan Davy. Free entertainment was provided by: Dan Davy, Paul

Michael, TAABS, Raquel Peña Flamenca for All, Rob Bonovox, Grace, Backyard Session and Stevie Spit.

Help at Home Costa Blanca provides free assistance to all nationalities, of any age, who find themselves in difficulty following illness, hospitalisation, injury or respite assistance to carers of those with long term illness. This is not a full time, or long term care service but one offering a little help to people in a time of need.

This service is much needed, as expatriates from various countries do not always have the support of family members and can have difficulty accessing this type of service due to language barriers nor can they afford nursing agencies.

Reach Out does so to those in desperate need; especially the homeless and destitute of Torrevieja and surrounding area.

It has a drop in/outreach centre where people seeking help can come and seek help.

For families Reach Out offers a solidarity supermarket. It also offers clothes, bedding, towels, household items and even furniture if needed as long as it has these things in storage.

For the homeless, apart from a hot breakfast and home cooked lunch, they can take a shower, have a shave, some clean clothes, even maybe a haircut and a foot treatment.

CostaBlancaPeople - Edition 589 - June 30th 2015

Continued from page 1 really is the newspaper designed by the people for the people – and each week we will continue to bring you the perfect mix of national articles, informative features, interesting events, local stories and community news.

Formerly known as the CoastRider, the Costa Blanca People has been renamed and redesigned with the needs of the modern day local community in mind. Since the original paper was launched in 2004 the expat communities of the Costa Blanca have changed, evolved and blossomed and we needed to do exactly the same. We are no longer ‘the CoastRider’, a local paper, we are ‘the Costa Blanca People’, a leading and innovative media provider with a physical and virtual presence. We support local people by championing their causes; we fight, highlight and lobby on behalf of the people of the Costa Blanca.

We raise awareness of everything from personal injustice, new local facilities and con-artist scams to political change and community service improvements. We actively promote the achievements of local people and businesses through award schemes such as The Pride of Spain Awards, The Culinary Awards and The Health & Beauty Awards. We also unite with local residents on all charity promotion and fundraising, something that is as close to our hearts as it is to the hearts of many of our readers.

We are proud of what we do and proud to serve the local community.

We are proud of what we do and proud to serve the local community. The Costa Blanca People is the next, very important chapter in our evolutionary story and we are going to keep changing, and keep improving, to ensure we continue to provide you with a service that justifies the outstanding spirit of the people of the Costa Blanca.

Claire Richards

to keep changing, and keep improving, to ensure we continue to provide you with a service that justifies the outstanding spirit of the people of the Costa Blanca.

Having established the paper in 2004 The CoastRider has followed pretty much the same format for the last 11 years.

Following Claire Richards’ (previously Worland) purchase of the paper from Walter ‘Thomas’ Wrulich the new, younger management team were keen to update and modernise the physical paper and its virtual offering. To this end we conducted a reader survey to help shape our thoughts and match them to reader requirements.

The sale of the paper was far from amicable and the business relationship between Claire and Thomas deteriorated as he refused to accept the legal reality of the sale.

Legal battles ensued, however, rather than ownership of the SL business the real crux came down to the ownership of the ‘CoastRider’ trade mark.

Bizarrely enough, back in 2006-7 the owners of a rival newspaper group had registered several domain names and the trademark. At the time neither Claire nor Thomas were overly concerned about the development and refused to enter into discussion over the €30,000 price tag demanded to sell it on.

Last year, to coincide with the formalisation of the sale of the business, a notary appointment had been set for October 2014 and in preparation, Claire proceeded to ensure that everything was in order with the trademark. In September 2014, Claire applied to the OEPM (Spanish trademark office) to register the name CoastRider. By law, the then owners of the name CoastRider would have their ownership of the name

quashed as they had not used it for any real purpose (other than to try to sell it back to Thomas, and later, Claire) for a period of more than five years.

With Claire’s application filed in September, everything looked in order. However, a holding company (ANews Media Channel SL) was established on October 29th 2015, bought the trademark from the previous owners on November 4th, registered it as their own on November 11th (an action which Claire filed a formal complaint against once discovered in early December).

The OEPM process is purely clerical and the nature of the governing body is such that it does not look into the history of each case (i.e. ownership or sale of the business) and simply views the longevity of ownership of a trademark.

To this end, Claire’s application for the name CoastRider was recently formally turned down as the OEPM viewed that the new company (ANews Media Channel SL) had bought a longer established trademark from the original owners.

Because of this, Claire and her management team have been forced into an untenable position regarding the official and legal use of the trademark ‘CoastRider’. It is only a matter of time before the new owners of the name enforce their right to stop Claire from using it.

This fact combined with your feedback has provided the opportunity for the management team to take the positive step to evolve The CoastRider to meet your needs and introduce Costa Blanca People as your leading weekly read.

Most common salary in Spain The most common salary received by workers in Spain is €15,500 a year, according to the National Statistics Institute’s(INE). While that figure remains the same as the year before, the average wage has decreased slightly to €22,697.86, a drop of 0.1 per cent.

The findings of the INE’s annual salary structure survey also demonstrate the inequalities that exist in the labour market. The wages of workers with temporary contracts tend to be lower than those with permanent jobs, earning 36 percent less.

The data also reveals large discrepancies in earnings among different sectors. While workers in the energy industry take home an average €52,827.86 – over double the national average – those in the hospitality sector, which has the lowest wages, earn an average of €13,851.08.

Rodgers & Hammerstein prove a hit The Melody Makers International Choir enchanted audiences at the Orihuela Costa Resort on Saturday with its show in tribute to Rodgers & Hammerstein and featured Cantemos! Youth Choir.

Produced and conducted by Nigel Hopkins the performance included all of the well-known hits including: Oklahoma, Carousel, South Pacific, King & I, State Fair, and of course Sound of

Music. The very best soloists on the Costa also featured in this spectacular production, such as sopranos Alyson Horsfall and Mary Beer, and the latest singing sensation Verity Hall, a pupil of Nigel Hopkins, who recently starred in Oklahoma in San Fulgencio.

The 60 strong Melody Makers International sang a multitude of smash hit songs including June Is Bustin' Out

All Over, Bali Ha'i, Something Wonderful, Do-Re-Mi, I Whistle A Happy Tune to name but a few.

A special performance was given by the duet of Eric Berg and Jane Atkinson stars of many Nigel Hopkins shows and Cantemos! Youth Choir performed two show medleys, from King & I and the Sound of Music and will feature eight soloists aged between 7 and 17. The two

leading Cantemos! Soloists, Janelle Gaskell and Elise MacGregor, performed their own solos from South Pacific.

There were two shows on Saturday – a matinee and evening performance both raising money for local charity. To this end, all funds raised will be donated to Maria and the Pink Ladies who raise money on behalf of the anti-cancer charity the AECC. The money will be used to support the charities early detection programme.

Drug traffickers unload boat on Spanish beach Beachgoers in southern Spain watched in shock last week as drug traffickers casually unloaded their deadly cargo in broad daylight. Beachgoers were enjoying the late afternoon sun on a Spanish beach when drug traffickers landed their boat on the sand and began casually unloading the drugs.

Around a dozen men seemed oblivious to the crowd of onlookers as they offloaded their illicit cargo from their motorboat, filmed by a member of

the public. The video, posted online last week, shows a large, black dingy arriving on the Tonelero beach, which is located in La Linea de la Concepción, a stretch of coast near Gibraltar, and the men moving the cargo to shore. More people stopped to see what was happening and none could believe their eyes. “In broad daylight; I can’t believe it,” one member of the public can be heard saying in the background of the footage.

The packages were not clearly visible in the video but police sources reportedly confirmed that in their expert knowledge they most likely contained cannabis. Remarkably the traffickers are not believed to have been detained by the authorities during or after the incident on the beach. Spanish police said the scene, which took place last Friday, reflected the growing impunity of criminal traffickers.

The onlookers could not believe that the police did not come and arrest the gang during the off loading of the drugs. It is claimed that several people called the police from their mobile phones but there was no response.

A statement from the Spanish Association of Civil Guards (AEGC), which guards Spain’s borders and coastline, said the situation around Gibraltar was “out of control” due to a lack of staff and resources to tackle the traffickers. The AEGC said that “public safety was being threatened by […] criminal organisations which have ever-

www.costablancapeople.com

greater resources, personnel, structure, support, sympathy and capital at their disposal to commit crimes.”

The AEGC highlighted the high level of unemployment in the area on the Spanish side of the border with Gibraltar, as well as the “problem of terrorism being funding through drug trafficking”.

The Civil Guard police headquarters said it never comments on statements from the AEGC, but added that 32 tons of illegal drugs had been seized in the area so far this year, slightly over half of the total of 63 tons in the whole of 2014.

Government refuses to open up files It was reported in El País this week that the Spanish Defence Minister Pedro Morenés has once again refused to declassify official records dated between 1931 and 1968. The reason given is that the government lacks the resources to go through the documents.

This was the period of Franco dictatorship in Spain and one that suffers from continued secrecy and lack of disclosure. The records kept during this time continue to be unavailable to historians for examination, meaning that they are reliant on sources from other European countries rather than their own.

The material in question comprises of 10,000 folders and documents which were classified under the 1968 Official Secrets Act. In 2012, three academics filed a petition requesting access to the files for research purposes. This request, backed by around 100 other historians and journalists, was denied.

As the law currently stands these

‘secret’ documents will never have to be revealed unless it is agreed by the government. In other European countries there are automatic information release mechanisms that ensure that after a period of time documents like this can be accessed.

There continue to be many unanswered questions about the period after the Civil War and researchers feel they are being preventedfrom providing a true picture of the period. Modern Spain continues to be built upona legacy that seems to encourage cover up rather than transparency.

The government has ruled out a blanket release of these documents saying that they must be examined one by one and that it is currently a task that is too costly and too daunting. For those who want to know more about what really happened during those year, this excuse will be hard to swallow.

Spain ups terror alert after Tunisia beach massacre A hotel belonging to a Spanish chain in Tunisia was the scene of a bloodthirsty terrorist attack on Friday in which 37 people have died and dozens more injured.

British, Irish, German and Belgian tourists make up the majority of those murdered in the Port Al-Kantaui resort, part of the popular beach holiday destination of Sousse, although it is not thought any Spaniards have been killed as there were none registered as staying at either hotel.

As two men opened fire, many tourists were caught unawares as they lay on the beach, whilst others panicked and tried to enter the hotel or hide beneath sunbeds around the pool.

Several windows shattered in the hotel lobby, injuring holidaymakers attempting to hide from the Kalashnikovwielding attackers.

The hotel lobby was filled with holidaymakers waiting anxiously for news, and each time a name was confirmed as being among the deceased, their companions broke down in tears.

Other tourists who had

escaped the mass murder were seen dragging suitcases to the coach which would take them to the capital city, Tunis, for an early flight home.

British foreign affairs minister Philip Hammond has confirmed that 'at least five' UK nationals are known to be among the victims.

Three of the 37 victims were confirmed as Irish.

All tourists on the Tunisian coast have been advised to stay in their hotel rooms and to contact their embassy and holiday company for advice.

Minister Aïdi, speaking on local radio station Mosaïque, said at least two surviving tourists are in a critical condition and another eight or so have been treated in hospital, but authorities are struggling to provide enough counsellors to provide assistance to witnesses who were directly involved.

Both murderers attempted to flee the scene, and one of them was shot in the head and killed by police on the beach.The other managed to escape onto the motorway which covers the 140 kilometres between Sousse and

13

Tunis, but was caught en route and arrested, along with two other people not thought to have been at the scene of the massacre.

High alert As a result of this and another Jihad attack on a factory in Lyon, France yesterday, Spain has increased its terrorist warning level across the country to 4; the highest is 5.

It has not been this high since the Al-Qaeda bomb blast on a train pulling into Madrid's Atocha station on March 11, 2004, in which 192 passengers were killed.

Whilst no terrorist organisation has as yet laid claim to the Tunisia massacre, authorities in the country believe it to be the work of the Ansar al-Sharia cell, a breakaway group of Al-Qaeda which has formed alliances with the latter's 'rivals', the Islamic State, or ISIS. The bloodshed in SaintQuentin-Fallavier, near Lyon in the department of Isère left several people injured and one man beheaded.He turned out to be the boss of one of the nowarrested suspects, and his disembodied head was seen rammed onto a fence post with writing in Arabic on it.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE They said it would go down to the wire and that is exactly where it is heading. On Tuesday Greece must repay 1.6 billion to the International Monetary Fund and it will be unable to do so unless it can borrow more money from‌ the IMF. Before it can have the cash Greece has to reform its pension and taxation system to the satisfaction of its creditors; the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the IMF. Thus far it has failed to do so. Three Eurogroup meetings in the last seven days broke up with the euro zone finance ministers rejecting the proposals from Athens.

It is a measure of the urgency of the situation that the ministers will be sacrificing their weekend to hold another emergency meeting on Saturday. If they can forge a deal the story is that the parliaments in Athens and Berlin could open on Sunday to sign it off.

Investors have seen so many of these last-chance meetings come and go over the last five months that they are suffering from a sort of Grexit-fatigue.

The endless media coverage might imply that the euro has suffered as a result of the problems with Greece but it hasn't really. Against the US dollar the euro is unchanged from its position at the time of the Greek election in January and it is stronger against the Swiss franc, the Japanese yen and the antipodean dollars. The euro is -5% lower against sterling but that is because the pound was the top

performing major currency over that period.

It wasn't the top performer over the last week though. Sterling fell by an average of -0.2%, equivalent to a third of a euro cent, against the other dozen most actively-traded currencies. The euro actually went down by three times that much - nearly a cent - against sterling and lost one and three quarter US cents.

With the European Council meeting today and the Eurogroup of finance ministers gathering tomorrow there is precious little point in attempting to forecast where the euro will be on Monday morning.

It is possible, however, to venture a couple of speculative what-ifs.

Should there be no agreement this weekend, with Greece thrown to the lions and forced to default on the 30th, the euro would very probably take a major hit on Monday. However, most investors still expect an eleventh-hour deal: they believe commonsense will prevail and a compromise deal will be achieved. If so, the euro would be likely to enjoy a modest rally.

A third possibility is that the negotiations will go not just down to the wire but beyond it if finance ministers see the possibility of an eventual deal.

After all, Greece will only have defaulted to the IMF if the IMF says it has. With a situation as important as this it would be reckless to stick too rigidly to the notion of a last chance.

Elche children get a day HFS out to remember

SHOWROOM

Steve Howell and his team

Last Wednesday, 24th June, the staff of the Royal Caribbean Cruise Liner "Anthem of the Seas" gave the children of Elche Children’s Home a day out that they will never forget.

The children, together with care staff and volunteers from the charity were treated to a tour of the brand new ship docked in Cartagena. The vessel has 14 storeys of pure luxury including swimming pools, entertainment areas, sundecks, restaurants and much more. The children had private use of the bumper cars which were for them probably the highlight of the day – and the ship's staff joined in the fun which made it extra special. Everyone was treated to lunch on board and the day came to an end with a dancing robot show, after which the staff asked the children to draw raffle tickets for a raffle held by the staff. The raffle raised

more than €2,000 euros to donate to the Elche Children's Home Charity. Annette English from the Charity was moved to tears as she presented Una Towmney and Kristy Bishop from Royal Caribbean Line with a thank you certificate.

In addition to this amazing day out and generous donation, the ship has donated a container load of indoor and outdoor furniture to the Children's Home. Steve Howell & Son Removals very kindly volunteered to collect the furniture free of charge the same day, and arrived promptly at 11.00 am fulfil their promise and load the furniture. Unfortunately, Steve and his four colleagues spent the whole day trying to clear customs and didn't actually leave the port till 8pm that evening.

Annette said: “We would like to say a massive thank-you to Steve

and his crew for their patience, perseverance and generosity, and to the ship's staff for providing them with lunch and refreshments during their ordeal.

“Finally, we would like to thank Una, Kirsty and all the staff of the Anthem of the Seas. Una came in for the day to make sure everything ran smoothly (even though she was on leave) and the staff gave up their spare time from their very busy schedules to look after us all. It was an amazing experience, but most of all we were overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity expressed by everybody.”

Staff from the Elche Children’s home said that the day out was one of the most memorable the children have ever experienced and that all the money in the world could not have paid for the beaming smiles and squeals of delight. The staff were ultimate professionals and they even closed the Johnny Rockets restaurant for private use allowing the children to eat all their favourite foods.

The children experienced many wonderful new things, such as the Bionic Bar where the bar tenders are robots, the sky crane which took them up to look over the city of Cartagena, the games arcade and finally a dancing robot show.

Bush beans, also called snap beans because they "snap" when ripe, are by far the most popular homegrown beans. Tender, with a delicate taste and no strings, they are easy to grow and cook - and delicious to eat! vulnerable to rot and soil-borne diseases.

2. Prepare bean seeds for planting

There are many varieties of bush beans to choose from. They can be green, yellow, or purple and come in all kinds of shapes and sizes so you can add a variety of textures and colour to your dinner plate.

Bush beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) are easy to plant and they do not need any time consuming staking, trellising, or poling because they grow on compact, sturdy plants. They grow well even in poor soil, and have ready-to-eat pods in only seven or eight weeks. And by staggering planting times by a few

weeks you can have a continuous bean production all summer/autumn long.

Below you will find 10 tips that are guaranteed to bring you the best, tastiest, and most productive bush bean crop ever:

1. Wait for warm weather Beans like warm soil, so for best germination when sowing your seeds, wait until the soil temperatures are warmer than 16° C (60° F). If you plant the seeds in cold soil, the beans will germinate very slowly leaving them

Soak them: For extra fast germination, soak the seeds in water for 30 minutes before planting, or put the seeds between two damp paper towels the night before planting. By the next day, the seeds will be swollen and ready to germinate.

Inoculate them: Beans are like peas and other “nitrogen-fixing” legumes in that beans can pull nitrogen right out of the air because soil-dwelling bacteria forms nodules on their roots. But this can happen only if the soil naturally has this helpful bacteria. If the soil has no such bacteria, your beans will not do as well.

So take a few minutes before you plant your seeds and inoculate them by coating them with a powdered form of rhizobium bacteria. It is a good insurance to give your seeds to ensure they grow the best they can. Even if your soil already has plenty of the nitrogen-fixing bacteria, adding some inoculant is never going to hurt anything.

5. Make sure to rotate

9. Stagger your planting

Try not to grow beans in the same garden bed two years in a row because they are susceptible to several soil-borne diseases. Rotating your crops will help prevent a build up of these diseases at each location.

Because bush beans tend to produce their beans all at once, harvest will only last about 2 weeks. By staggering your planting, it will help keep a steady supply of beans throughout the summer.

10. Keep bush beans picked 6. Keep bush beans weeded Snap beans have very shallow roots that cannot compete with weeds for water and nutrients, so try and keep your beans well weeded. Remember however, that bean roots grow very close to the soil surface, so be careful when weeding that you do not pull the bean plants out along with the weeds if you have allowed the weeds to get too large.

Regular harvesting is the number one way to guarantee a prolonged bean harvest. You should pick your beans at least every other day, and you should pick your beans before their pods swell and fill up with seeds. When the seeds finish forming inside the pods, it sends a signal to the plant to stop growing, which is something you do not want, so keep those beans picked. Also, when

3. Water properly Bush beans like a regular supply of water.

That said however, beans do NOT like wet, or poorly drained soil. In order to make sure the soil drains well, and your beans do not rot, add plenty of organic matter such as compost before planting.

Give the beans regular water, and allow the plants to dry out a bit in between waterings. The only time you want the soil to be constantly damp is right after you have sown the seeds.

Watering the seeds: When sowing in the spring, sow the seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep; in the hot weather of summer, sow the seeds 2 inches (5 cm) deep. Then soak the seed bed thoroughly with water, and try not to water again until the beans sprout so that the soil does not become soggy or waterlogged.

If your soil tends to dry out quickly, or to form a crust, cover the seed bed with a very thin layer of mulch or compost after you plant to keep the soil surface moist and soft. This helps the bean's growing tip from breaking off as it pushes though the soil.

If your soil dries out even with the mulch, do water again. Always keep sown seed beds damp. If they dry out, the seeds will die.

4. Plant bush beans very close together Bush beans do not mind being crowded and will still produce a good crop. The best reason for planting them fairly close together is you want the leaves of the plants to grow into a shade canopy that will cool the soil and stop weeds from growing. Plant bean seeds in “blocks” or rows 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) apart and do not thin when they come up.

7. Bush beans like mulch Especially here where summers are hot and dry, mulch your beans to help keep the moisture in the soil.

8. Bush beans do not like super high heat Beans will stop producing about a week after any hot spell that is over 32° C (90° F). To avoid this, either cover your bush beans with shade cloth structures to help them weather through or plant early in the spring, or towards the end of summer to miss most of the high heat days.

beans pods get too big, they are not as tender and tasty as when they are young.

Whether you call them string beans, snap beans, green beans, or bush beans, they are one of the most favoured vegetables for gardeners to grow during the summer months. They have high quality flavour, and last a long time once harvested, making them easy to handle and cook with.

By following the above tips you will have even more success with your beans and that simply means more for you to eat and enjoy!

Young diphtheria patient's death triggers call for routine vaccinations The six-year-old boy from Olot in Girona province who was suffering diphtheria has tragically died – and his death has sparked a fresh debate over the importance of having children vaccinated in their early years.

He was admitted to intensive care at Barcelona's Vall d'Hebron hospital a month ago after having caught the first case of the highly-contagious respiratory disease documented in Spain since 1987, and the first in Catalunya since 1983.

His parents, who have been keeping a bedside vigil, did not vaccinate him against the disease - or any other - as a baby or toddler, since they claim they had been 'brainwashed' by the anti-inoculation lobby. A group against childhood vaccinations due to the side effects they can have.

Their son's heart, lungs and kidneys had failed as a result of the diphtheria toxins and he was placed on a life support system, breathing through a tube and connected to an 'artificial kidney', for round-theclock dialysis. The support

included a machine pumping the blood around his body as his heart was unable to do so.

His drug treatment was imported from Russia, since nowhere else in Europe had any in stock as it has been several decades since the condition was last registered anywhere on the continent.

Healthcare bosses say they have now traced 47 children in Olot alone who have never had vaccinations, and insist that it is not just the youngsters themselves who are at risk, but all those around them in the wider community.

In the case of the young boy who has recently passed away, other children in his class who had not been vaccinated either were found to be carriers of the deadly disease.

Regional health minister Boi Ruiz considers not vaccinating children to be 'irresponsible', and says it is 'very sad' that an avoidable death of a child has happened in a first-world country where 'nobody has any problems' in accessing inoculations as they are 'universal and free of charge' to absolutely everyone,

irrespective of their legal status in Spain.

Non-compulsory Spain's national health minister Alfonso Alonso has ruled out Ruiz's idea of making vaccinations compulsory by law, but says authorities will work on a 'hard-hitting' campaign to remind parents of their 'duties' to protect their offspring through the available vaccinations.

Diphtheria vaccinations are included in a child's inoculation calendar as a matter of course, and are 'extremely effective’ - in fact, the very reason for diphtheria not having existed in Spain for more than 28 years is because of the majority of children being vaccinated as babies.

The vaccination programme in the UK was introduced even longer ago, back in 1940, although 20 cases have been recorded in England and Wales in the past five years. These minioutbreaks have led to one death, and they are believed to have been suffered by people who came to the UK from other countries where inoculation is not available as part of the standard health care routine.

Welcome to OVIEDO with Vivalia Travel Oviedo contains a very rich architectural history, with many buildings dating back to the early medieval period

History

to Santiago de Compostela, a major event in the history of Oviedo, a church dedicated to The Saviour, the Cathedral of San Salvador, and a royal palace formed the nucleus of Oviedo. Also constructed during Alfonso II's reign was the San Julian de los Prados church, which is one of best preserved Asturian churches.

Alfonso II's successor, Ramiro I (842-850), continued Alfonso II's construction streak.

Ramiro I constructed two buildings, the Church Santa Maria de Naranco and San Miguel de Lillo

Basilica of San Julián de los Prados. This church was originally constructed by Alfonso II (791-842), and is one of the best preserved Asturian churches.

Town Hall (Casa Consistorial). Dates from 1662.

La Balesquida Chapel (13th century). Associated with Oviedo's taylors' guild.

The Convent Church of Santo Domingo, Oviedo (16th century). One of the monastic settlements outside the city walls.

The Kingdom of Asturias began in 720, with a Visigothic Aristocrat Pelagius's (685-737) revolt against the Muslims occupying most of Spain at the time. The Arab invasion of the Iberian Peninsula in 711 took control of most of the peninsula until the revolt in the northern mountains by Pelagius.

The resulting Kingdom of Asturias, located in an economically poor region of the peninsula, was largely ignored by the Muslims. In 720, the area where Oviedo was located was still uninhabited.

Oviedo was established on an uninhabited hillside, with no Visigothic or Roman foundation before it became an Asturian city.[3] Following Pelagius, who died in 737, Alfonso I (739-57) founded a dynasty that would last until 1037. The Asturian Kingdom was on hostile terms with southern Arab Spain. In 794, Oviedo was sacked by Caliph Hisham I in one of his numerous campaigns against the Christian kingdoms.

King Alfonso I is said to have "set in place the whole order of the Goths, as it had been in Toledo, as much in the church as in the palace."[5] The intention with Oviedo was to shape it into a city similar to that of Visigothic Toledo.

Oviedo owes to a later king, Alfonso II The Chaste (791842), its establishment as a capital city and ruling seat as a result of the moving of the court from Pravia and the creation of the Pilgrim’s Route

Oviedo contains a very rich architectural history, with many buildings dating back to the early medieval period.

Many of the building projects were undertaken during Alfonso II's (791-842) reign and Ramiro I's (842-850) reign.

Alfonso III's contributions are not as well documented.

Cathedral of San Salvador, was erected in 1388 over the previous cathedral, which was founded in the 8th century.

Cámara Santa de Oviedo.

Dating from 802. It is located within the Cathedral, attached to the southern transept of the cathedral, and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Houses the Arca Santa chest reliquary of the Sudarium of Oviedo.

Santa María del Naranco Hall, 9th century. A relatively large pavilion, part of a palace complex built for the King Ramiro I. San Miguel de Lillo (small church), 9th century.

-Fabada, bean stew with selected cuts of pork, etc.

-Callos, tripe -Carne gobernada, (chunks of meat, prepared with onion, garlic and white wine sauce) -Chorizo a la sidra, (chorizo sausage prepared in cider) -Paxarines, figures made from breadcrumb and egg coloured with saffron -Carbayones, Oviedo's typical almond pastry -Sidra, (cider), Asturian typical drink, fermented apple cider -Arroz con leche, similar to rice pudding -Frixuelos, similar to a crepe

Fabada

Sidra

Frixuelos

Architecture

Culture Oviedo inspired the fictional city of Vetusta in Leopoldo Alas' La Regenta.

Other Spanish writers were inspired by the city, including Ramón Pérez de Ayala in Tigre Juan and Dolores Medio in her novel Nosotros los Rivero.

Oviedo was featured prominently in Woody Allen's movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

‘You Can’t Be Serious’ is a weekly tongue in cheek look at the world through Bernie Comaskey’s eyes. With kind permission of the Westmeath Examiner. bernie.comaskey@gmail.com

IF HE DIES, HE DIES...

Times are always a changin’. Some things just creep up on you until something reminds you of how it used to be: For example, people used to die; but not anymore. We have in fact, given up dying.

Nobody belonging to anyone dies these days … they simply ‘pass away’. It is as if we are so afraid of death that the word is being airbrushed from everyday use.

Right now we ‘pass on’, ‘pass away’ and no doubt but that Irish people will soon be ‘crossing over’ as well.

Jimmy Murphy has ‘gone to his eternal reward’, is fair enough and one I myself might sometimes use.

It is soothing and a comfort to those left behind; but folks, Jimmy Murphy has to die first. The bottom line is that whether we ‘pass on’, ‘pass away’, ‘cross over’ or go to our ‘eternal reward’, we are by then as dead as a dodo. This column calls a spade a spade and whatever term you call dying, it is still a job for the spade: Unless of course you wish to be cremated, in which case the requirement is also to be dead.

Society is askew with smart people struggling to find more

user friendly words for everything.

Ordinary language is being complicated and it is so refreshing to hear any plain speak nowadays.

The fear of death is very natural; otherwise self preservation would not be our strongest instinct. All living creatures have this instinct.

We humans fear it most because the thought of an immediate family member dying can be more painful than the threat hanging over one’s self. The simple fact though is that death is inevitable for all of us and resistance to using the words death or dying is futile.

Death begins when the heart stops beating and is then a process rather than an event. The big fear of course for all of us is what will happen to us at that point of no return. It is a human instinct to fear what we cannot see and things we do not know. This has been said to be the complete and total separation of the soul from the body and is the belief of not only Christians, but many other faiths as well. It is a comfort for those of us who believe in an afterlife, or some kind of continuation, although we are never fully convinced that what

we believe in is the actual truth. If we did, everybody would want to die I suppose. For now, the word death in itself explains the end of things as we know it.

Not all cultures fear death. We once wrote of an Indian tribe, where when an old person felt that death was nigh, he divided up all his belongings among the family and went off into the forest to be alone and close to nature as he died. Chief Tecumseh (Crouching Tiger) of the Shawnee nation (1768 -1813) gave his verdict on death: “So live life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, and beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.

Always give a word or salute of greeting when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give

thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.” And they used call them ‘savage Injuns’ in the old Cowboy and Indian films …?!

There are numerous recorded accounts of people nearing death who have had what is called ‘out of body experiences’. Usually those who recover tell of floating and looking down on their own body and not wanting to re-enter it.

They tell of loved ones ready to embrace them on the other side, the pull they felt towards them and being totally at piece. Anybody who has had this experience always say they will never be afraid to die when it does come. Mind you, these accounts may be

somewhat devalued by the fact that those who did drugs claim similar out of body experiences.

The missionary was closing the mission with his usual fire and brimstone party piece. To drive home his message, he loudly reminded the parishioners that “every man, woman and child in this parish will die.” Much to the priest’s annoyance a not-too-smart lad near the back started to laugh.

“And what do you down there find so funny?”, roared his reverence.

“Ah Father, sher I’m not from this parish at all”, came the reply.

Chances are that a few of you could be around when I am being planted in Killulagh. I intend to delay that day as long as possible – but when it happens it happens and when I’m dead I’m dead.

In a world where there is death, there should be no time to hate.

Yorkshire Linen opens its doors in La Zenia Due to the success of its stores in Torrevieja, Quesada and San Javier, Yorkshire Linen has opened its fourth store in La Zenia. Centrally located the new store opened its doors yesterday (Monday 29th June) and is already proving a huge hit with local shoppers.

Yorkshire Linen has been based in Spain for more than 10 years, and so has a long established reputation for quality goods and excellent customer service. Its stock comes direct from UK suppliers and hand-picked local sources – in order to ensure the best quality items for customers. Deliveries are taken every two weeks and so there is a constant flow of new stock for customers to choses from, which also guarantees the latest colours and trends are available.

The store specialises in bedding, curtains and soft furnishings, but boasts

an extensive range of items. This includes: duvet covers, sheets, pillow cases, quilts, towels, voile curtains, readymade curtains – and the tracks and poles needed to hang them - cushions, memory-foam mattress toppers and pillows, throws and linen table cloths.

Bedding sets are to UK standard sizing, an issue that can cause some problems here in Spain. The Spanish measure their beds differently in centimetres as opposed to: single, double, king size etc.

Also Spanish quilts are 20cm bigger than traditional British ones, which is obviously why they do not fit correctly or smoothly into your UK duvet covers. Staff at Yorkshire Linen are all experts and happy to help you chose the right size bedding and can speak English and Spanish.

There is a huge amount of choice in

both colour and design at Yorkshire Linen in all its ranges, so whether you like a traditional feel to your house, or a more modern contemporary look, the store has exactly what you need to make your house a home.

Phil said: “At Yorkshire Linen we pride ourselves on supplying luxury bedding, bed linen and soft furnishings at competitive prices. Our product range caters for all tastes, with traditional designs alongside more contemporary options and everything in between.”

Airlines See Shocking Rise in Disruptive Passenger Behaviour UK Travel Operators, Led by Jet2.com, Pledge Decisive Action As the summer holiday season moves into full swing, the UK’s largest holiday companies are reporting a record double figure rise in disruptive passenger behaviour. As a result, leading leisure airline Jet2.com, along with some of the UK’s biggest travel operators, is calling for industry-wide measures to tackle what has become a serious problem for the travel sector.

Phil Ward, Managing Director of Jet2.com said, “We are a family airline and holiday company carrying millions of passengers every year. These are people who have chosen to take their well-earned summer breaks with us and we want them to have a wonderful time.

Therefore, under no circumstances will we allow the disruptive few to spoil the experience for the majority of the fantastic customers that fly with us.”

Jet2.com is working closely with other high profile holiday companies, industry bodies such as BATA (British Air Transport Association), the AOA (Airport Operators Association) and the UK’s leading airports, to put in place a series of comprehensive measures to tackle disruptive conduct associated with air travel.

Over the past two years, unruly and disorderly behaviour often linked to excessive alcohol consumption prior to embarkation has risen drastically on-board aircraft.

Cabin crew increasingly have to deal with people displaying abusive, racist and often noisy and aggressive conduct, causing misery and disruption for other passengers nearby.

Jet2.com has already put in place a series of measures under its ‘Onboard Together’ programme, to educate passengers about the effects of alcohol at high altitude, and to outline its policies.

It has empowered its staff to take decisions quickly regarding disruptive passengers including verbal and written warnings and, ultimately, the ability to divert the aircraft to the nearest airport to off-load particularly offensive people before flying remaining passengers onto their holiday

destination.

Measures also include banning disruptive passengers for life, handing them over to the police, issuing a bill for the cost of the diversion and taking legal action, post travel.

Jet2.com, along with its fellow operators, has also written to the Secretary of State for Transport, urging more decisive action from the government to help them enforce new policies to ensure unpleasant and disruptive behaviour during air travel is eradicated.

Continues Phil Ward, “By far and away the majority of the travelling public are decent people wanting to have a great holiday. We want people to have a fantastic time from the moment they start their holidays with us.

Most passengers absolutely know how to behave on board, whilst having a good time too. It’s for that reason that we must stamp out this rise in disruptive behaviour.”

Birth rate in Spain rises for first time in half a decade A total of 426,303 babies were born in Spain in 2014, 588 more than in 2013.

The figure marks a rise of 0.1 percent year-on-year, and is the first increase recorded in the country in five years.

That’s according to data just released

by Spain’s National Statistics Institute (INE) as part of its Natural Population Movement report, which also contains another record figure: average life expectancy for Spaniards has risen to 83 years.

In terms of births, the report shows that the number of babies born in Spain has fallen 18 percent since 2008, a year that saw a 30-year high of 519,779 newborns. Last year’s slight 0.1 percent increase was partly due to a rise in the number of children per woman: the figure increased from 1.27 in 2013 to 1.32 in 2014. The number of births per 1,000 inhabitants, however, remained steady at 9.1.

Meanwhile, the number of fertile women (those aged between 15 and 49, according to the statistical series) fell from 11.6 million in 2009 to 10.98 million last year, as a result of a decrease in the number of immigrants living in Spain, and the high emigration rate among Spaniards – both factors attributable to the lingering effects of the economic crisis.

The report goes on to explain that of the 426,303 babies born last year, 17.8 percent had a non-Spanish mother, compared to 18.6 percent the year before. Among immigrants in Spain, the number of children per female was 1.61

last year, compared to 1.27 for Spanish women.

The average age of women who gave birth has also risen once again, to 31.8 years in 2014, compared to 31.7 in 2013 and 30.8 in 2007. Broken down, that average is 29.3 years among immigrants in Spain and 32.3 among Spanish women.

In terms of deaths, the report reveals that 395,045 people died in Spain last year, a 1.2 percent rise compared to the previous year. That’s 8.5 deaths per 1,000 inhabitants, a 0.2-point increase on 2013. Infant mortality was 2.9 deaths per 1,000 live births, 0.2 points higher than in 2013.

Based on these figures, the 2014 rate of natural increase (the crude birth rate minus the crude death rate of a population) fell 11.6 percent compared to the previous year, with 31,678 people – the lowest figure since 2000. What’s more, there was a negative rate (more deaths than births) in nine regions: Galicia, Castilla y León, Asturias, Aragón, Extremadura, the Basque Country, Cantabria, La Rioja and Castilla-La Mancha.

Life expectancy also rose in 2014 compared to the previous year, going up 0.2 years to 83, the

highest on record. Average life expectancy for men in Spain is 80.2 (0.2 years higher than in 2013), and 85.7 (0.1 higher) for women.

In terms of regions, Madrid has the highest life expectancy in Spain, at 84.4 years, followed by La Rioja (83.9) and Castilla y León (83.7). The lowest figures are to be found in Andalusia (81.9), Ceuta (80.7) and Melilla (80.3).

Marriages on the rise The INE report also contains a section about marriages in Spain. In 2014, 158,425 couples got married, a 1.3 percent rise on 2013. The number of marriages per 1,000 inhabitants stood at 3.4 last year, a 0.1 percent rise on the previous year.

The average age of couples getting married in 2014 was 36.9 years for men and 34 years for women. Among married couples of different sexes, in 16 percent of cases at least one partner was not from Spain – a fall from 18.1 percent in 2013.

Meanwhile, 2.1 percent of the total of registered marriages corresponded to same sex partnerships (3,300 couples).

Spanish digital currency Puppies used in scam claims 22,000 victims drug smuggling million,” says Adrián Trigo, a former partner of Ramírez.

Funds were then transferred to accounts in Malta, Romania and Latvia.

Trigo says that up to €1.5 million was being paid into Ramírez’s accounts every day at one point. “He told me that he was created a holding in Switzerland to protect the money,” says another former employee who learned the ins and outs of the business.

The unete collapsed in April 2014 when Latvian bank Rietumu froze Ramírez’s accounts as part of an investigation into money laundering.

He told investors that some Russian clients had been misusing the currency, which had set off alarms in Latvia. The unete is now worthless.

Scam Spanish newspaper EL PAÍS has tried to contact Ramírez, who is reported to be living outside Spain, according to various sources. Rietumu has declined to talk to EL PAÍS. Originally from Valencia, Ramírez started out in the Málaga resort town of Torremolinos in the 1980s, working in a nightclub. “He spent all the time glued to a computer. He thought he was going to get rich,” says his former boss, Alain Tamellini. After a period in London, Ramírez focused on investment schemes based in Panama.

His name is linked to System World Investment, which operated under the brand name Dextraplus. Spain’s CNMV

markets watchdog described Dextraplus in March 2009 as “a financial scam,” mentioning Ramírez by name.

Ramírez was working in Panama with a company called Finanzas Forex, owned

by Germán Cardona, who was sent to prison in March 2011 for setting up a pyramid scheme that scammed around €300 million from 100,000 investors from all over the world.

Ramírez got the unete idea from Sergey Mavrodi, a Russian entrepreneur who set up a scheme in the 1990s that ruined thousands of small investors. “José Manuel was obsessed with Mavrodi,” says one former collaborator, adding that his former boss was constantly trying to work out how to set up a bank, an alternative financial system, and even a city, to be called Unetecity.

To publicise his business, Ramírez posted videos on YouTube, as well as organising presentations.

“We are a sound company. Our holding was set up in 2008,” he would tell investors. The Spanish business registry shows that Ramírez set up Union Business Online in the small Málaga seaside town of Rincón de la Victoria with Pilar Otero. The company has yet to have its books audited.

Ramírez’s strategy was to expand internationally. He said he had set up a bank in Dubai, and opened offices in a business center in Malta. A receptionist there said last week that it has no record of Ramírez.

A Venezuelan veterinarian has been arrested for allegedly smuggling heroin in puppies. The vet, Andrés López Elorza, was a member of a drug-trafficking gang that used dogs to send liquid heroin from Colombia to the United States.

Spanish police arrested the veterinarian who was also wanted by the US for allegedly trafficking heroin by implanting it in puppies. The 33 year old was arrested last week in the northwestern town of Santa Comba where he had been hiding after the national court authorised his extradition last month, a civil guard spokeswoman said last Tuesday. The officer spoke on condition of anonymity in keeping with police regulations.

Police said Colombian authorities discovered 3kg (6.6lb) of heroin implanted in three puppies during a 2005 raid on a clinic the vet ran in Medellín. The statement said the vet was a member of a drug-trafficking gang that used dogs to send liquid heroin from Colombia to the United States.

López was arrested in Spain in 2013 but released while his extradition was being considered.

The spokeswoman said López had been living in Spain for eight years and was married with two children. She said he had been working as a vet for two companies, his employers spoke highly of him and he had no record of drugtrafficking in Spain.

British expat killed in paragliding accident A British woman has died in a paragliding accident in the Cadiz province after her canopy unexpectedly folded in mid-air after take-off. The 48-year-old, who was a resident in La Línea de la Concepcion, has been identified only by her initials, L.P. Sources suggest that the woman was an experienced paraglider and was only 30 metres into her glide when the chute became entangled, according to witness reports. She plummeted to the ground face-down and the impact of the crash meant she died instantly.

The area where she fell, in the Sierra de Líjar mountain range, was difficult to access on foot and required assistance

from helicopters.

Fire fighters were called at 2.45pm on the afternoon and it took until 7pm for the woman’s body to be recovered.

PARAGLIDER IN ACTION: LIBRARY IMAGE

José Manuel Ramírez Marco had a dream: the unete, a digital currency that could be used to buy and sell things on the internet. It would be worth one US dollar, and serve as a way of avoiding the ups and downs of the currency market. Outside the control of any government or financial institution, it was launched in 2013.

Since then, 41-year-old Ramírez has convinced some 22,000 investors around the world to put €50 million into his scheme. The problem is that because the currency is digital, nobody can get their hands on it.

A complex network of tax havens and frozen bank accounts is to blame, according to those close to this alleged fraud. More than 100 of the 6,000 Spaniards who bought into the scheme have already begun legal action.

“I have 8,000 unetes that I cannot convert to euros,” says Carmen Ramírez, a pensioner from Córdoba.

“This is a pyramid scheme,” adds Pablo P, from Málaga.

“José Manuel told us he was setting up a unete bank, and we believed him,” says businessman Alain Tamellini, who bought €18,000 worth of the cyber currency.

The first stage in the process was converting euros to unetes. This involved a transfer to Union Business Online Ltd, located in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, a former British colony and now tax haven in the Caribbean.

“His businesses handled up to €70

Britain Beneath Your Feet - This series is a unique view of Britain from below. In this first of two programmes, Dallas Campbell reveals why we can only understand the familiar world around us by discovering the hidden wonders beneath our feet.

Breathtaking computer graphics strip away the earth to lay bare this secret world that's rarely explored. Dallas finds out how the Shard of London - the tallest skyscraper in Western Europe stays standing on soft clay. He canoes along a secret river under the city of Bristol and discovers why Edinburgh was sited on an ancient volcano. Exploring the natural world, he abseils down an underground waterfall higher than Niagara. And beneath one of the nation's oldest oak trees, he discovers a vast root system that's wider and more intricate than its branches.

All change at Carpet Heaven With the hot and humid weather we are experiencing at the moment, probably the last thing on your mind is cosy rugs and carpets. Well for us in the carpet and rug business it’s exactly what we are thinking about during the summer months. This is the time of year when all the designers bring out their new lines for the following season, and when us, the retailers, start looking at clearing old stock to make room for the new. Here at Carpet Heaven in Los Montesinos we are now starting to bring in the new rug designs in this years new fashionable designs & colours Have you just bought, or are you trying to sell a house/apt with old or cracked marble or ceramic tiles?

Why not cover your floor with high quality Burmatex carpet tiles, available in a vast range of styles, colours and textures, which will provide warmth, practicality and sound reduction.

Another excellent alternative, especially for kitchens and bathrooms is cushioned vinyl, which also comes in a wide range of wood,

marble or stone effects and is non slip and durable.

As always we have our extensive range of British “Stainfree For Life” carpets, available for fitting or as large area rugs, still at 2013 prices.

Due to the exchange rate increases, these prices will inevitably have to rise in the new winter season, so get excellent value for money by ordering this summer – (you can order and pay a deposit and pay the balance when fitted in the autumn) ‐ you’ll be glad you did when those cold winter nights return!

To make room on the shop floor for our new lines we will be holding an End Of Line Sale from Wed 1st July 15 until Saturday 18th July 15 when all our rugs will be discounted by 20%. Why wait for the inevitable autumn price increases, buy now at this years prices. We will even store for free until you are ready to collect.

Netflix will reach Spain in four months Online television service Netflix is coming to Spain in October and will be available for tariffs starting from €7.99 a month plus IVA. Three different prices, the top one being €11.99 plus IVA, will apply depending upon the number of devices in the subscriber's home which are connected and the definition chosen, which goes up to 4K. An à la carte internet-based TV platform, Netflix allows subscribers to choose programmes from a huge catalogue and watch them as many times as they want. They are watched in real time and are compatible with any device that has an internet connection and a screen, including PCs, laptops, netbooks, Tablets, video game consoles, and Smart TVs. Programmes can be watched 'on the go' from anywhere the user wishes as long as a broadband internet connection is available, as well as at

home.

They are not downloaded, meaning they are instantly-accessible and do not take up memory space on devices, neither does the subscriber run the risk of malware or adware or any other type of virus or potentially unwanted programme slipping into their computer via the back door.

Additionally, Netflix's advanced technology means it can flag up TV shows which may be of interest to the subscriber based upon his or her viewing habits and tastes, which saves ploughing through a long catalogue and reading synopses of every unfamiliar programme.

For the moment, Netflix's homeproduced series such as Sense8, Daredevil, Bloodline, Marco Polo, Unbreakable, Kimmy Schmidt, Grace and Frankie and Chef's Table will not yet be available in Spain, but mainstream series, films and documentaries can be watched.

Netflix already has over 62 million subscribers worldwide, of whom more than 40 million are in the USA where the system was launched in 2007. It went international for the first time in 2010, branching out into Canada, and then into Latin America in 2011 before breaking into the European market in 2012.

The first European countries to get Netflix were the UK, Ireland, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, and in 2013 this extended to The Netherlands with a further roll-out to six more countries last year.

As well as Spain, this year will see the service become available in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Portugal and Japan, and by the end of 2016 will be in every country in the world which has a broadband service.

In the first quarter of 2015 alone, users all over the planet opened and watched more than 10 billion hours of programmes.

Netflix managers forecast that within seven years, some 40 percent of homes in Spain which have broadband internet will have signed up – a figure similar to that of the USA.The arrival of the service in Spain has been rumoured since before Christmas, but has only just been confirmed by Netflix itself, whose management says that it will definitely reach the country in October.

Marcia via email asks: Hi Aunty. I wonder if you can solve this mystery for me. I am using Win7, Gmail & Google Chrome. Recently I wanted to send a photo via email & clicked "insert Photo" at the bottom of the page. My photos came up but on the one I wanted to send a figure of a man was superimposed in the corner. When I looked at the original photo in Picasa he was not there. He also appeared on another photo.

Also another photo of my niece was animated. I wonder if you have come across this before.

Aunty Says: How queer Marcia. If this is some kind of virus then I’ve certainly not come across anything of its kind before. There is an option in Google’s Picasa that lets you “Add a watermark for all uploads” but I’m pretty sure this function only works with text, maybe Picasa could be setup to do this sort of task but for the moment Marcia I can’t think of any other way this could happen. Animating a static photo would take huge amounts of time and skills so is it possible that the photo of your niece you sent was actually saved as a

small video? Try opening the photo by double clicking on it and see what happens. You can send me both examples if you would like me to do some more detective work.

Susan from Almoradi asks: I read with interest your reply about TP Link Extender in your column---I had one similar and it lasted about 6 months until it blew up....but it certainly did the trick!!! So I would like to buy another but I have a Telefonica modem but without WPS button. I see from the video that I can connect with an Ethernet cable but I want to use a small tablet which doesn't have this.

Would it be easy for a silver surfer like myself to configure this? Last time I had to pay someone to come and do it...which pushes up the price, of course!! Any help would be much appreciated!

Aunty Says: Hi Susan. I recently set up a TPLink TL-WA830RE WiFi Range Extender for a neighbour which she picked up from Amazon for around €35. It was very easy to setup straight out of the box, no need for a WPS function on the existing router and a very good

51

signal boost.

Eddie from San Miguel de Salinas asks: Buenos Aunty, You successfully sorted a problem for me a while back but this one is really getting on my nerves. Every time I go into my Amazon account (and most other sites) and attempt to click on a blue link, I get the asked to upgrade my Flash Player, Java, etc. I cannot access the link as this covers the entire space.

Aunty Says: We should all keep our Flashplayer and Java bang up to date Eddie as a lot of websites still rely on these add-ons to function. I like to do the updates manually, firstly so that I know they install properly, and secondly so that I know they come from a secure source. You can get these apps from the respective websites or go to www.enetcomputers.net where you will find links at the bottom of the homepage. Don’t forget to look out for any unwanted additional apps that Adobe etc. often trick us into installing.

That’s it for this week, email me at auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and I will do my best to sort you out.

Amnesty International slams evictions in Spain The scene has played out repeatedly all over Spain since recent municipal elections: councillors and mayors from leftist coalitions mediating in home evictions.

“This is what it means to be everyone’s mayor,” said José María González, the new head of Cádiz, after trying to stop a family of tenants from being evicted from their low-rent home earlier this week.

On the same day that the Podemosbacked González made that statement, the Spanish branch of Amnesty International (AI) released a new report on the country’s housing situation.

The report lambastes Spanish authorities for their attitude to the housing problem throughout the economic crisis, which saw many people losing their jobs in a country with very high home ownership rates (around 77 percent), a fact that led to numerous mortgage defaults and foreclosures.

“They have failed to meet all their international obligations with regard to the right to housing,” said Esteban Beltrán, director of AI Spain, during the presentation.

The study shows that there have been more than 600,000 foreclosures in Spain since 2008, the year that the crisis began.

Of these, between 2012 and mid-2014 alone, nearly 100,000 affected primary residences.

“Many authorities in Spain do not see housing as a human right but as a consumer good. That is the essential root of this problem,” said Beltrán.

Koldo Casla, the author of the report, said that government housing policies have led to a “regression” – spending on social housing fell more than 50 percent in the national budget between 2009 and 2014.

According to Derechos desalojados (or, Evicted rights), Spain’s subsidised housing only represents 1.1 percent of the total, which is only higher than Greece. By comparison, these homes represent 32 percent of all housing in The Netherlands, 23 percent in Austria, 18 percent in Britain and 17 percent in France.

Another salient feature about Spain is that it has nearly 30 percent of all the empty homes in Europe. The report notes that regional and central authorities have not worked to make good use of these units, as recommended in 2008 by the United Nations Special Rapporteur.

Additionally, in recent years many buildings containing subsidized homes have been sold off to investment funds –

nearly 5,000 in the Madrid region and close to 400 in Catalonia, the study finds.

“It would be difficult to find another human rights violation in Spain that is so extended and so invisible,” said Esteban Beltrán, noting that Spanish authorities have ignored international recommendations for the creation of mediation tools.

The bank went after my parents Ainhoa Lafuente’s woes began in 2009.

In 2005, when she still had a steady job as a clerk at a decoration store in Terrassa (Barcelona), she bought an apartment.

The bank financed 100 percent of the €157,000 loan. She met her payments until 2013, despite having lost her job four years earlier, finding another one in 2010 that only lasted a year, and joining the ranks of the unemployed.

Now a mother of a three-year-old child, last week Lafuente managed to negotiate with the bank to return the keys to the apartment in return for cancelling her debt. “I had to pay €4,500, though. The owed amount was over €200,000 after having paid €50,000.”

“During the negotiation, the bank not only wanted my home, they also wanted my parents’, because we had used it as collateral. It’s a subsidised home that they’re still paying for,” she explains. “And they wanted it despite the fact that my father had a stroke and my mother had surgery for breast cancer.”

“People like myself, who have nothing left, are tired,” she says. “All I want to do is work. Why do they think I stopped paying the mortgage in 2013? To be able to feed my little girl a piece of bread.”

Puppies dumped in tar

Men should freeze sperm at 18

The Guardia Civil using Twitter has called for public help to find the heartless person who threw three puppies into a pond of tar. It happened in Cartagena and one of the puppies was put to sleep and the other two after being rescued were cleaned in an animal refuge.

The pictures of the puppies has outraged the social networks, they were taken at the ‘El portalico’ dog refuge where they were cleaned, a process which took some hours.

The pond of tar was under 30cm deep, but it was enough to have trapped and covered them as the tar solidified.

A neighbour heard the puppies bark and now the Society for the Protection of Animals has announced they will prosecute the owner of the land ‘for uncontrolled dumping of tar, creating a dangerous area and environmental damage’.

The puppies are cross bred between a podenco and galgo breeds and are ideal for hunting, and so the Guardia Civil are concentrating their investigation on hunters and hope with the help of the general public the person who dumped the three puppies in the tar can be apprehended.

He would be charged with the crime of animal cruelty which carries an eighteen month prison sentence.

The sperm of all 18-year-olds should be frozen for use in later life because of the risks attached with being an older father, a UK bioethicist has argued.

Sperm becomes more prone to errors with age, increasing the risk of autism, schizophrenia and other disorders.

Dr Kevin Smith, from Abertay University in Dundee, says spermbanking on the UK’s NHS should "become the norm".

The British Fertility Society said such

a move would "provide a very artificial approach to procreation".

It called for a greater focus in the UK on supporting young couples to have to work and have children.

Men are having children later - the average age of fatherhood in England and Wales has increased from 31 in the early 1990s to 33 now.

But while it remains possible to have children well into old age, there are consequences.

Fun in the Sun at Quesada Country Club The Dive Academy Santa Pola were in top form on Saturday at Quesada Country Club - this time it was Daisy and Derek who made a group of children very happy with one young lad getting a second go at a ‘try dive’ as his mum missed him doing the first dive and then his grandparents turned up! The Dive Academy are a star team and give great confidence to both children and adults and even the younger ones had lots of fun with learning how to snorkel!

You can see these divers are passionate about what they do and they want others to enjoy the experience too.

Quesada Country Club also had Sasha Lee, Children's Entertainer doing balloon magic and plate spinning and keeping all the children entertained. QCC have fun events planned throughout summer see their Facebook page for details of what is coming up. The first summer pool party is Saturday 1st August but there just may be one before so be sure to keep in touch via Facebook.

More funds were raised with a raffle on Saturday with most prizes geared to the children and with the money raised at the Thursday Fashion Show this took the total raised in two days at QCC to just over €250! The new owners are pleased to announce that this money will go to The Children's Home in Elche.

MedB Diagnostics and Therapy Ever wanted a top-to-toe health check or have health concerns and unable to get a diagnosis? Now you can have a thorough examination that is non-invasive, pain free and quickly carried out. MedB offers a full body diagnostic scan which checks literally every cell of the body using the latest state-of-the-art equipment and is 96 percent accurate. Not only can this highlight exactly what is happening in the body at any given time, it can also recognise many diseases and conditions before onset. This enables prompt treatment which can very often lead to complete prevention.

The clinic was established three years ago by Dr Machi Mannu, a fully trained medical doctor who became disillusioned with the lack of adequate diagnosis and prevention offered by the traditional medical profession.

Dr Mannu said: “I felt that medicine was becoming more about making money and less about helping people. The tests being done in hospitals all over the world – blood tests, X-rays etc. – have not advanced for decades because cutting edge technology is expensive. I believe that early detection and increased prevention should be available to everyone. The system we use was first developed for the Russian space programme to allow accurate medical diagnosis for astronauts but is now widely used across Europe. Since using this technology, we have accurately diagnosed and treated many health problems that had baffled local medical professionals.”

Based at Punta Prima, MedB offer several services to people of all ages and nationalities: The Full Body Health Check provides an analysis of all body systems, organs and functions through a 45 minute computer scan. This can detect any disease present as well as pinpoint microorganims such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. The system also performs a painless biochemical analysis of blood, hormones and enzymes and can detect toxins and allergens. As part of the process the Sensitiv Imago technology also undertakes a food allergy test, as well as chromosomal analysis.

The technology behind the scan is based on the principles of

electro-magnetic frequencies or vibrations. According to scientific research, each individual cell in the body has a bioelectrical signature.

The vibrations emitted from each cell differ between healthy cells and cells not functioning correctly, therefore there is a noticeable difference between a healthy person and someone who is ill. Cells that are full of bacteria or toxins also have a different vibration to that of a healthy cell.

These distortions in cell vibration appear long before the symptoms materialise and the advanced diagnostic technology can detect changes in cells, tissue and organs and correct them to prevent the onset of disease.

Having seen the damage caused by prescription drugs first hand, Dr Mannu made the choice to use mainly natural and safe therapies that don't cause unpleasant side effects. As we age, our bodies become less able to produce many vital chemicals and compounds that maintain optimal health. Furthermore, intensive farming and consumption of processed foods further dwindle our nutrient levels and speed up the rates of inflammation and degeneration that occur in our bodies.

The aim of the therapies at MedB is to replace deficient biochemical compounds and correct the disorders identified by the diagnostic scan. MedB also offers a range of specialist supplements for: detoxification, joints, muscle and disc problems, cardio-vascular support, stress control, weight management, brain health, senior health, male health, immune support, bone diseases as well as high quality minerals and multivitamins.

A full body scan costs 120 euros with a 10% discount for couples, compared to over 700 pounds in England. For further information or to book an appointment please contact Dr Machi Mannu on 965 071 745, 966189074 or 630 118 439 or visit the website: www.medb.es The medical information in this article is provided by the client as an information resource only, and is not to be used or relied on for any diagnostic or treatment purposes.

Industry calls for ban on second-hand tyres Nearly a third of motor industry professionals believe that sales of second-hand tyres should be banned, according to research by Continental.

Three-quarters of all road crashes caused by tyre problems occur in cars with used ones fitted – and, in fact, over 300,000 cars on Spain's roads have second-hand tyres, a figure that has been increasing every year as a result of the financial crisis.

Different cars wear down their tyres in different places, meaning if these are

fitted to another make or model, they are likely to cause vibrations and reduce the vehicle's stability.

They can even endanger the lives of drivers and passengers, since the minimum braking distance needed for used tyres is much longer than for new ones, meaning motorists underestimate how much room they need to slow down or stop.

Continental says tyre traders admit that 80 percent of their sales come from supplying or fitting second-hand parts.

And six in 10 cars aged over 10 years have used tyres fitted when their existing ones become irreparably damaged or worn out.

The research shows that 35 percent of dealership workers, parts traders, mechanics, body repair staff and tyre suppliers believe second-hand sales should be outlawed.

This view is supported by 45 percent of specialist motor industry journalists, Continental reveals.

Emergency chemist In every town on the Costa Blanca, you will find a chemist open out of hours. In some larger towns such as Torrevieja, some chemists open throughout the day with no ‘siesta’, or even until 9pm and over weekends. The duty chemist can change on a weekly basis and in some towns, local pharmacies take turns to be ‘on duty’ out of hours and through the night for emergencies. If you approach an emergency chemist and it appears to be closed, look closer as often for security reasons, out of hours business is done via a small hatch

through which prescriptions, payment and medication can be passed.

Consult a full list of emergency chemists for out of hours medication at: www.lasfarmaciasdeguardia.com Under the heading, “Farmacias de guardia por provincia” choose your province (Alicante or Murcia for most readers) and you will be presented with an alphabetical list of towns. Simply click the town you are in, or a nearby town, and you will be given the name of the chemist along with a Google Maps link to the location

Watching history unfold...

Today you are reading history in your favourite newspaper. No, we are not talking about the seamless transition of the former CoastRider to the new ‘Costa Blanca People.’

I was present in Croke Park on Sunday to witness one of the greatest ever comebacks in the history of gaelic football. This was history with a small ‘h’, but the date, 28th June 2015, will go down in history (with a big ‘H’), as the day that Westmeath threw off the shackles and beat Meath in the championship, for the first time in its 131 years.

To come back from being ten points down, only hit the front with a few minutes remaining and win by four

points almost defies a feat of human endeavour. Somebody once said that ‘a miracle is something which cannot happen, until it does.’ This week we joyously celebrate Westmeath’s miracle.

(Is this column supposed to be objective, Ed?) When Meath led 2-12 to 1-07 at half time, we saw (and heard!) a Mullingar man announce that he’d seen enough and he exited the stadium in disgust.

Admittedly, the majority of those of us who stayed believed that the match was over as a contest. Blind loyalty is a wonderful attribute and that is what keeps supporters in their seats – even to the bitter end.

Meath resumed the second half where they had left off ... but then it all changed – and it changed utterly. Kieran Martin moved from centre half-back into an attacking role and finished the match with 2-03 to his credit. On any other day, Martin would easily be voted man-ofthe-match with such a performance; but unbelievably he was upstaged for that honour by one of the most skilled footballers in the country; namely John Heslin. Heslin scored 1-09 and had a hand, or foot, in everything good that happened for Westmeath on the day. In truth, every player was a hero in this memorable victory. Goalkeeper, Darren Quinn made a crucial save near the end and every substitute used played his part.

Westmeath: 3-19 Meath: 2-18 Can any team stop ‘The Dubs’?

Dublin will be unbackable favourites to beat Westmeath in the Leinster final which takes place in two weeks time.

Having previously annihilated Longford by 27 points, ‘The Dubs’ demolished Kildare by 19 points in Sunday’s other semi-final. First half goals from Dean Rock, Bernard Brogan and Diarmuid Connolly, meant that the game was virtually over by the break. In fact, it was over when Dublin led 2-07 to 0-02 after seventeen minutes.

The Dublin story rumbles on and there

will be an awful lot more newsprint used on them before the end of the summer.

Dublin: 5-18 Kildare 0-14 The pick of the ‘qualifiers’ was the surprise win of Wexford over Down. The Rossiter brothers scored a goal apiece in the space of a minute and with veteran, Ciaran Lyng outstanding, the Slaneymen were well worth their 2-16 to 2-11 victory.

Derry gave Donegal their fill of it; with the ‘green and gold’ just making the line with two points to spare.

A week is a long time in sport Sport is a funny old business. After Dublin’s annihilation of Longford in the Leinster Football Championship, we had a stampede of expert opinion, each trying to outdo the other with demands verging on the hysterical, that all minnows be removed from the real championship and put into a little competition for themselves. We are not saying that there isn’t merit in discussing such a move, but it was tried before and the Tommy Murphy Cup flopped. All players want to play ‘senior hurling.’

Then what happens? Down come Antrim footballers and beat Laois at home; whilst up in Sligo, the no-hopers are full value for a 5 point win over the much vaunted Roscommon men: Just for good measure, Longford won their next game against Carlow. Then Westmeath

beat Meath and now the same ‘experts’ are saying that there is nothing wrong with the provincial championships and to leave well enough alone!

Just like the English soccer FA Cup, the beauty of the All-Ireland championships – and all knock-out competitions is that on a given day, the minnow will perform a giant-killing act which gives almost as much satisfaction as winning a trophy.

Ask any ‘Lake County’ man!

This was to have been the year of the great hurling leveller. Kilkenny were supposed to be in transition? Wexford found out, what they have been learning for 50 years, that Kilkenny doesn’t do transition. Tipperary were supposed to be untested, a couple of players short of a great team, and there for the taking by a Limerick team buoyed up after a victory over Clare. Tipp looked at it sort of differently, and all the signs are that Kilkenny and Tipperary have hit the front from the off. Galway and Waterford are staying with the leaders – but it would be a brave and foolish man who would deny that Limerick, Clare, Cork, Dublin and Wexford won’t stretch any opposition between now and the first Sunday in September.

Fògra: It’s nice to be back with you for another championship summer. I value your comments or criticisms and you can contact me at: suilseabhac@gmail.com

Moving on and moving up That’s what CD Torrevieja are hoping for next season. The football team were a little disappointed not to move up a division last season but this could well be the one for them and their new slogan is ‘Este Año, Si!’ To encourage them on, they are asking for Torrevieja to get behind them and put the past behind them too. ‘We’ve laid a good foundation for next season,’ says Chris Darwen, commercial and PR, ‘We need people to come and support.’

Even though it’s a different team, coach and manager, there are those who are still angry about events 5/6 years ago which aren’t helping the team or supporters to move on.‘The new coach is making a difference,’ says Chris. ‘It’s a

great atmosphere at the ground now, a real family feel, but we’re still coming across grumbles from the past.’

Chris has now been supporting the club for the past four months. ‘It’s been a challenge but it’s also been great,’ he says.

‘It’s getting through the apathy and building a future.’

Along with Jeff Scott, CD Torrevieja’s vice-president, the pair are avidly promoting the club and encouraging a fresh start and a positive approach for the beginning of the new season at the end of August.

The painting party One of the ways the club is hoping the community will help the club is through sprucing it up with a lick of paint. Chris

would like people to either come along on the 18th July to the Vicent Garcia stadium and join in with the Painting Party or donate a pot of either white or blue paint.

The painting party will start at 10am and all people need to bring is a roller and tray and, of course, ‘a great attitude’.

‘We’ve set the date and the time but we now need to know numbers so please let us know if you can support us on what should be quite a fun day,’ says Chris.

The club vice-president, Jeff Scott, has offered to pay for drinks for the workforce and local businessman, Sean Ball, will provide food at no cost to volunteers. It’s a good day to get involved too as on the evening of the 18th it will be the club’s first pre-season friendly.

‘We’ll be playing the recently relegated Córdoba, so that should be a good match,’ says Chris.

Future fixtures Another match to look out for is Torrevieja and Hull City on Friday 24th July at 8.00 pm and to watch this match will cost €10. Other games are currently being discussed and these will be listed on the website when they are confirmed.

The club are hoping that people consider buying a season ticket. Covered stand tickets will be €125 and general tickets €100, available from the club shop. The price for single matches is also staying the same at €10 with a special price of €5 for the 16-21 year olds. All children under 16 have free admission.

The 200 club The club has decided to re-launch the 200 Club. Companies pay €200 for the chance to have their name and logo on

The entrance to the Vicente Garcia stadium

both the home and away Torry strip. They receive two season tickets with their entry and bars and restaurants can raffle these off on busy summer nights. The winner will be drawn at a public event at the Vicente Garcia on 20th August, hopefully by the new councillor for sport, Pablo Semper.

Visiting hopefuls CD Torrevieja are expecting that some young players from the UK will be coming over soon for trials for the club.

However, these young men will not have anywhere to stay and will be travelling right in the middle of the holiday season.

Chris asks if anyone has some spare accommodation that could be used to put them up whilst their trials takes

place. As he points out, they are travelling at their own expense and may not even get a place in the team. Please contact Chris if you have a spare room.

The first training session for this season begins on the 13th July. The best performers continue to play for the club including the captain, Jorge, full back Vicente and the goalkeeper, Oscar.

If you are able to come along to the painting party please let Chris know at the club on cdtorreviejaofficial@gmail.com or on 966923231 Visit the website: www.clubdeportivotorrevieja.com Suzanne O’Connell

ROCKET’S GOLF SOCIETY ABBEY ANGLING The 5th round of the Summer Series was fished at the Eden Stretch on the 23rd June After some of us drawing our pegs that were full of reeds, we had a quick clean up before the start of the match.

If everyone did this on the peg they had drawn on a regular basis, there would be no build up of reeds and therefore no work parties would be required.

Many thanks to all the lads from the Lime Bar for all the hard work they have done on clearing this stretch of water.

The water is right down with no flow at the present time, making the fishing hard and the weights were down 1st Terry (Swing em) Screen with 10.780kgs 2nd Lenny (Ex cultural attaché) with 6.520kgs 3rd Bill (The Master) Reade with 6.320kgs all fishing the pole using bread and paste.

The match had a good turn out, and with expectations of good bags now that summer is here but 12kgs was needed for the 5th spot and the weights then dropped considerably.

This is not what is expected of a commercial fishery.

The “Boy” once again making the best of a good draw to come first, but he did also loose quite a lot of fish.

It was a down to Murcia, Molinas de Segura to be precise and Altorreal Golf.

There has been a considerable amount of work being done on the course which it is now a venue that should be on the list to ‘must play’. A big “well done”, to the all the course staff at Altorreal.

The competition was for the Organisers Trophy but there was a sharp intake of breath when it was announced that the format was Medal, but looking at

the scores it did not deter some of the members, with really good playing conditions making a contribution, that coupled with wall to wall sunshine.

To prove the point two players came in on Par. No stopping Rockets members.

LOOSE ENDS Take a bit of tying up where the complicated business of Spanish football is concerned, and it wasn’t until June’s last steamy hot weekend that the season was finally laid to rest, as the last two promotion spots – from division 2B to the Adelante Second Division – were decided.

After drawing 1-1 away at Huracán Valencia, Huesca won their return to the second flight by dint of a 2-0 home victory. In the other tie, Cádiz were hoping to overturn a 2-0 deficit when they entertained AthleticBilbao’s ‘B’ team. The Basques had other ideas, and held them to a draw, only to be pelted with missiles by the frustrated gaditanos, who have seen their side fail repeatedly. The Bilbao side now become the sole ‘reserve’ team in the second division. Whether this should be so, or if there ought to be a separate competition, as in England, has long been a subject for debate here.

Elsewhere, the Copa America seems likely to hinge largely upon penalties increasingly a deciding factor in major championships, neither is the Women’s World Championship immune, causing one to wonder if other solutions to drawn matches should be sought. Take a player off each side every five minutes in extra time?

In other sports, Real Madrid took the ACB basketball league title with a resounding 3-0 series win over Barcelona, and the row over how Spanish tennis should be run looks to be boiling over, with ‘player-power’ at last exerting pressure on the ‘suits.’ But if, like me, you are a Yorkshireman, or of similar disposition, you will remember the great John Arlott’s remark, ‘We are now halfway through that part of the football season when cricket is permitted!’

Masters Summer Regional Swimming Championships This weekend was one of the important summer competitions for Torrevieja Masters in the run up to the Spanish National Championships in July. This year the “5th Valencian Regional Championships” were held at the “Parque Oeste Sports complex” in Valencia on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th June. Hundreds of swimmers from clubs across the region and many invited from outside the Valencia Community participated in a range of 38 different races, in both male and female categories. Each swimmer being allowed to participate in a maximum of 3 individual races and relays. Club Natacion Torrevieja entered a team of 5 swimmers but unfortunately due to illness and last minute work commitments only three swimmers competed.

First to swim Saturday morning was Vicki Connolly in the women's 50m freestyle event.

Nervous but determined Vicki swam a close a race and won a Bronze medal. Missing out on Silver by 7 hundredths of a second and missing gold by half a second. Not to be disheartened she later on in the morning stormed on to take gold in the 200m Freestyle by a clear 11 seconds lead. Team mates Beth Altabas and Paul Matthews continued this winning theme by both taking gold medals in their

races. Beth winning gold in the women's 50m Butterfly and Paul in the men's 100m Freestyle event.

After a break over lunch racing commenced again for the afternoon session. First to swim was Paul in his 50m Butterfly, matching his current best time and beating his long standing rival, he won gold. Paul later went on to finish with a third gold in his 100m Backstroke event. Beth then swam her final two races of the competition, the women's 200m Individual Medley and the 200m Backstroke. Victorious again Beth won a further two

gold medals. Last to swim, in the last race of the day, was Vicki in her 400m Freestyle event.

Keeping up the teams successes Vicki won gold in this event and beat her own Regional Record by 4 seconds. So all in all a good warm up for the Summer Nationals and bringing back to the club 9 medals from 9 events!
