suzanne@costablancapeople.com HELP Vega Baja is one of the charities most respected and relied upon in this region for advice, information and support in times of need. Based originally in Torrevieja it has recently upgraded its centre in San Miguel. The original move to San Miguel came from the need for bigger premises and although it still has an office in Torrevieja on Rambla Juan Mateo Garcia, it wasn’t proving big enough for the demand nor

HELP Vega Baja opens its new premises for the plans that the organisation had for supporting those who need it in the Vega Baja area. Therefore, the San Miguel Centre was originally opened in March 2006 and after ten years the charities headquarters needed an update. HELP Vega Baja is delighted to announce that after a few fraught weeks of upheaval the work is complete. New premises at San Miguel To celebrate its tenth birthday the premises in San Miguel now boasts: • Extended charity shop • Reorganised storage area for mobility equipment • Improved facilities for volunteers, including air conditioning • A new, private office Help Vega Baja is particularly pleased with

the new office as this provides a private meeting area where those wanting to talk to someone confidentially can do so. The group has a solicitor, Jordi Sole, who can speak to people for 30 minutes as part of the membership package. This room will be used for these meetings as well as for committee meetings. “Previously the meetings had to be held later in the afternoon,” explains president of HELP Vega Baja, Michele Masson. “This is so much better for us all. If a volunteer wanted to speak privately to someone, they previously had to go to the local café.” Online improvements HELP Vega Baja is acutely aware that methods of communicating are changing. To keep up with this and make best use of social media, it is updating its website and

information provided online and would like to be able to offer members the possibility of taking out or updating memberships online too. “We’ve been delighted by the increase in people ‘liking’ and sharing our Facebook page,” says Michele. “We are conscious that more and more people are using social media and it’s important that we spread the word.” It’s not just online, however, that HELP Vega Baja is sharing what it does. It is increasingly asked to visit other associations and venues to explain about the organisation, the services offered and to raise awareness in the local community. What they do The organisation is based upon a small contribution by members. This can be as little as €7 a year or €30 for five years. This

membership entitles you to free legal consultation, discounted will preparation and entry to the emergency contact scheme. There is also a range of other benefits including free hospital sitting service, free interpreting service and up to seven consecutive days of free nursing care following a period of membership. New volunteers Help Vega Baja has been helping people for over 35 years and its support largely consists of teams of voluntary helpers. It is currently looking for new volunteers to keep up with demand and is particularly keen to hear from anyone who might be able to volunteer as a publicity officer, events co-ordinator, hospital visitor, donation box collector, office administration and charity sales volunteers. Requests for help from its Welfare Officer have also increased and it is looking to recruit a second Welfare Officer to help her with her role. Thank you HELP would like to thank its great team of CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

Lighting renovation project for La Mata A project to improve street lighting in La Mata will cost around €240,000. Torrevieja town council has applied for funding from the Department of Infrastructure, projects and services, for the replacement of lighting in La Mata and surrounding developments. A total of 445 lamps will be replaced along with wiring and boxes that are damaged or broken. It is intended that these improvements will also improve energy efficiency and reduce waste.

Allotments in Torrevieja The council is currently considering the possibility of establishing plots of land within the town that could be used for horticultural purposes, similar to allotments in the UK. The council is currently trying to identify where the plots might be established. The plots would be used for the cultivation of vegetables and plants and could be used for growing food as well as for educational, recreational and environmental purposes. The plots would be allocated to individuals and families at risk of social exclusion as well as to non-profit making associations within the town.

SUPPER SHOW

Family affair The Guardia Civil have arrested a Spanish couple on suspicion of attempting to break in to a house in Algorfa - whilst they had three children inside their car. The thieves went to the house and broke the lock to the grounds. They drove in and parked on the drive. Then they cut the wires to the alarm and broke open the front door and went inside. However, the alarm went off when they tampered with it and alerted the

The three children inside the car were aged between 6 and 10. The man and the woman arrested were 29 years old and 45 years old respectively.

Campoverde Theatre Group has presented a supper show at Phoenix Nights Bar. Taking the starting point the year of the Battle of the Somme, some 100 years ago the group presented memories in song, images, dance and sketches of events over the last century. Thanks to work produced by Viva TV pictorial images supported the various elements of this show. Audiences were entertained by the Andrew Sisters and Max Miller regaled with a string of funny stories that had the

audience in stitches and also by the Campoverde Dancers with their memories of Glenn Millar, the Bond movies and The Darling Buds of May. The show concluded with the songs Can’t You Feel My Love and Bring Him Home that linked all the elements of the show together, and were especially relevant as the two chosen charities to benefit for the three performances were the Royal British Legion and Help the Hero’s.

The mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón has requested that there is a report into public transport arrangements to bring people to the new location of the Friday market. The weekly market is to be situated in future in the Antonio Soria Park and it is important that those wishing to use the market are able to reach it. The report will need to take into consideration the bus schedule, stops, and how the best service to passengers can be provided. The mayor has reiterated his commitment to the market and is hoping that it might open by the summer. However, there are still a number of arrangements to sort out including transport and the cost and location of stalls for those using it.

BITE SIZE AECC annual charity walk NEWS: Continued from page 4 the role of the police will take place in October rather than in May as they have done in previous years. This is in acknowledgement that the actual anniversary of the founding of the police service in Torrevieja was January 17th 1834 and not on May 17th 1849 as previously considered. The day includes the handing out of medals in recognition of service and has become an annual event. This year it will be held in October but it is intended that in 2017 it will revert to the actual date when the police force was founded which city archives suggest was in January 1834.

Study time at the Virgen del Carmen centre From the 16th May the Virgen del Carmen Centre in Torrevieja will have available a 24 hour classroom for those wishing to study. The timetable will be from Monday to Thursday from 10.00pm until 4.00am and Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 10.00pm until 6.00am. This timetable will remain until the 1st July as this is the exam period.

It’s time once again for the community to put its best foot forward for an excellent cause - the seventh annual Maria and the Pink Ladies Walk for Life in aid of the AECC. Since its inception, the walk has raised more than 73,000 euros for the anti-cancer charity. The event will take place on Sunday 5th June from the Promenade in Playa Flamenca and is a 5k circuitous route which can be walked, run, skipped, jumped or even crawled! Bring your dogs, pets, prams, wheelchairs and pushchairs and join in the fun. And don’t forget to dress up - in anything pink…with lots of bling, fluff, fur or feathers. The sea of pink as hundreds of walkers set off is one of the most memorable images of this walk over the years. Last year saw kindhearted locals raise more than 13,000 and this year Maria and the Pink Ladies hope even more can be raised with the ladies setting a target of 20,000 euros to make it the biggest and the best Walk for Life ever. Orihuela Costa Town Hall has pledged its support and co-ordinator for the coast Sofia Alvarez has arranged the the stage, tables, chairs, electricity, toilets, first aid and police supervision. The local government is also providing a free shuttle bus service from the Playa Flamenca market road – Calle Nicholas de Bussi - to the Playa Flamenca

promenade. The buss will provide a park-and-ride service as parking close to the beach is always difficult on the day of the walk. The walk is just the beginning of a great family fun day with local performers appearing on the day and al giving their time for free. This includes: Dan Davy, Richie Alexander, David John ( Rod Stewart tribute), Abba Elite, Alan Scott (Neil Diamond tribute), Gemma, Johnny Lea, Samantha Curtis, Rebecca Holt, Kylie, Nikki G and Janelle. Sunshine FM will provide the sound system and host the event and Stevie Spit will compere the day’s entertainment. There will be market stalls to browse, tombola, games, bars, a hog roast, giant paella, fast food and much more. Registration is 5€, and those wishing to take part can register either before or on the day of the walk. Registration opens at 9.00am and the walk will begin at 10.30am. Come along and walk in memory of someone who has lost the fight against cancer or to support someone who is currently having treatment. Bring a friend or make up a team; a free t- shirt will be given to all who take part to show their support for Maria and the Pink Ladies (and the Pink Panthers) and the AECC. Mireille Toddington

Celebrating the senior citizen From the 19th to the 21st May a fair for senior citizens will be held in the Municipal Leisure Centre (CMO). This is the building behind Carrefour that has been designated as a meeting centre and leisure centre for the third age in Torrevieja. The Feria del Mayor will include exhibitions from 40 different providers of services and retailers. The event will be staged under the title ‘Our Age is our Strength’ and aims to recognise the special qualities that those over 60 years old bring to a town such as Torrevieja. The councillor for senior citizens, Domingo Perez, (pictured) noted that Torrevieja has a very large number of people over the age of 60 an increase that it also reflected in international statistics. With the increasing proportion of the population being in this age group, Perez points out that they will need to not only

be recipients of services but take a more active role in political and economic life too. Those attending the exhibition will find a number of travel-related products, information about home care and nursing products, personal care and other accessories to make life easier. There will also be a range of performances and workshops to add to the occasion. Associations and businesses who will be represented there include: Alzheimers, Fibromiagia, The association of culture and pensioners in La Mata, The neighbours’ association in La Mata, Casa Verde, Cruz Roja, Hospital Quirón, Diabetics’ association, Viajes El Corte Inglés and Protomoda. The event will open at 5.30 pm on Thursday 19th and on Friday 20th from 9.00 am until 9.00 pm. Saturday’s opening hours will be from 9.00am until 8.00pm. Suzanne O’Connell

Rubbish collection contract to continue The business Acciona will continue to be responsible in Torrevieja for the rubbish collection service, beach and street cleaning service. Although the town council had announced the intention of bring the service back under the control of the town hall, there has been insufficient time to put this into action. The mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón was keen to emphasise that this is just a hold up in the longer term intention of municipalising the services. However, time constraints and the slow speed at which decisions can be made and processes changed has meant there has been insufficient time this year. Suzanne O’Connell

How to apply for your disability certificate If you think you might be entitled to a disability certificate and live in Torrevieja then you need to plan ahead as it will take a little while to obtain. However, with patience and by following the right procedures, if you are entitled, then you will receive one. One of the benefits of having this certificate is that you might then receive a disabled parking badge. STEP ONE The disability certificate certifies your grade of physical or mental health and provides access to different types of rights and benefits to help compensate for social disadvantages. In order to obtain one you will need to collect and present the following documents: • Your ID (passport) • Application form • Residency certificate or card • Reports (medical, psychological and social) You can download the application form which is called the certificado de discapacidad from a number of websites including: http://bit.ly/1TC2gpK which is on the seguridad social website seg-social.es. The reports you should obtain via your GP and/ or your specialist. It is beneficial if you do have a disability to have a report from a specialist who deals with this particular kind of disability. Do remember, that you will need to keep reports up-to-date so if you do have an extended wait before being assessed it is beneficial if you can have a new report prepared. STEP TWO All these documents must then be processed. You have four different ways in which you can apply: • An appointment at the department of social services • Local Town Hall where you can register in PROP

• The Centro de Valoración de Discapaditados in Alicante, Calle Fernando Madroñal, 52. Tel: 965 934 704 • Any post office The social services building in Torrevieja or ‘Area de Bienestar Social’ is on Calle Torrevejenses Ausentes and the phone number is 96 670 66 66. You may well have seen this distinct building and not known what it was. Please remember that you must take a translator with you if you are not fluent in Spanish. You will need to take all the documents and reports mentioned above with you too. STEP THREE You will then need to wait. This part of the process can take from four to five months and eventually you should get a letter. If you are lucky you might get a resolution with this letter. However, it is more common that the letter will give you an appointment in Alicante with a social worker. Remember to take a translator with you and updated reports if you have waited a long time for your appointment. Following your appointment you will have another wait, but this should not be for so long. They are required to provide you with a resolution within one month. The resolution will announce the percentage of disability you have and this will dictate the type of support you are allocated. If it is 33% you will get some discounts on items and if it’s 65% there could be some financial benefits. You will also be given points of mobility and this is beneficial if it is a disabled parking badge that you are hoping for. You will need seven points to be entitled to a badge. It might seem a rather long process but if you are in need of assistance it could enable you to continue to enjoy your life in Spain more actively. Suzanne O’Connell

Sports area for Torreta II The area in Torreta II which was previously home to the prefabricated classrooms of Ciudad de Oviedo and Acequión is to be transformed into a recreational area for sports use. The project will be carried out by the Rotary Club of Torrevieja in collaboration with the town council, AGAMED and La Caixa. At a press conference the mayor, José Manuel Dolon, presented the project along with the president of the rotary club, Julio Ballester, and the manager of AGAMED, Jose Manuel Nadal. The project has received an award from Rotary International and will be presented at the organisation’s conference to be held soon in Toledo. In March, a group of residents, the mayor and members of the Rotary Club carried out the cleaning and clearing of the space so that it was

ready for the next phase of the project. The plot of 11,000 metres has been fenced in thanks to contributions from AGAMED. The next stage is the instalment of a children’s area, which will be fully secured and available for small games. The final part of the project will be the laying of a sports field, basketball and football area. The mayor said; ‘It’s not only the town council that is responsible for carrying out these initiatives. Thanks to the involvement of all the partners in the project the area will be energised and there will be opportunity for young people to enjoy the space provided. We had been told by parents about the lack of facilities in the area.’ Suzanne O’Connell

Fibromyalgia conference comes to Torrevieja The name of this disease might not ring a bell but it is one that is currently experienced by two to four percent of the population in Spain. It is a chronic rheumatic condition characterised by widespread muscoskeletal pain and feeling tired. It can affect anyone but is most common among middle-aged women and currently has no cure. However, treatment is available that can ease symptoms and those suffering from it can continue to have a healthy life with the worst aspects of the condition alleviated. The conference about this disease was held on the 11th to 14th May, dates chosen specifically around the 12th May when it was International Day of Fibromyalgia. Councillor Carmen Morate met with the ASIMEPP association to discuss and

publicise Torrevieja’s hosting of the conference. The secretary of ASIMEPP, Maite Miralles explained; ‘It is important to talk about it because symptoms can be improved but diagnosis is not always easy and there is a tendency for those suffering from it not to make it public.’ The activities that were organised in Torrevieja included the conference in the Casino as well as awareness raising activities. The conference covered issues for fibromyalgia sufferers such as urinary incontinence, effects on the eyes and latest advances in terms of treatment. Sufferers frequently experience difficulty sleeping, problems with memory and concentration, headaches and irritable bowel syndrome. Suzanne O’Connell

Welcome to the new office The old OARI office (Office for Attention to International Residents) has moved from its previous location on Calle Caballero de Rodas to Plaza Capdepont in the centre of Torrevieja. Many people will remember this as where the old tourist information building used to be. Here you will find Councillor Carmen Morate (councillor for international residents) and Carlos Gonzales who is the director of OARI. The move has come as a relief to those working in OARI who had found the previous premises rather small for their needs. Now Councillor Morate is delighted that she can have an office which isn’t a thoroughfare for people passing to the toilet and administration and queries can be dealt with separately. There is also a larger waiting area and the whole building has more light and is in a more central location. ‘It’s a definite improvement,’ explains Carmen. ‘What makes it even better is that we are saving €3,000 a month on the rent.’ In spite of this saving they have been careful not to waste any money they didn’t need to and most materials, including the air conditioning, have been transported from the

previous office. It is surprisingly roomy and removing the very large counter has meant that there is plenty of space available for the desks of those dealing with international queries. ‘There’s also an area where we can eat,’ says Carmen. ‘We don’t usually have time to leave the premises, so that’s very welcome.’ Carmen is hoping that its central position will mean that they can also have a couple of police officers located there. Following its use as a tourist information centre, the building was temporarily used by the local police until part of its ceiling collapsed. Now it’s been restored there is still space available and the mayor is keen to see a police presence close to the busiest parts of the town. ‘They would also be in a position to help regulate the traffic when the new traffic lights are installed down here,’ says Carmen. All in all the accessibility of the building and its fitness for purpose make it a good move for Carmen and her team and international residents.

Brit arrested for murder Brit Simon Corner, 33, accused of the homicide of Lisa Brown, has been sent to prison. A judge in San Roque ordered the prison sentence after hearing his testimony and that of a witness. The investigation into the disappearance of the Scottish woman who was last seen in November continues. Lisa, who was a resident of Pueblo Nuevo and worked in Gibraltar, was in a relationship with the accused. Corner was subject to a search and capture order for the supposed death of the woman, and handed himself in to Police in Copenhagen Police in April, after which he was extradited to Spain last week. On arrival he gave an extensive testimony to the lady judge, claiming his innocence, saying he had no idea where his girlfriend had gone or if she had left Spain. However, the magistrate, after listening to the witness’s testimony, decided to imprison Simon Corner in the jail at Botafuegos in Algeciras

waiting for more advances in the investigation. The judge also took testimony from another Briton under investigation, of the initials J.W. resident in La Línea, who was granted provisional release, with the withdrawal of his passport, a prohibition order against leaving Spain and the obligation to appear at the Court every fortnight. Corner, who lived on a boat in the Alciadesa Marina, in La Línea, and dedicated his time to selling yachts, served a three month sentence in the Gibraltar jail last year, after being found guilty of threatening death and injuring another person in an incident in nightclub in Gibraltar where he was wielding a knife. Corner is originally from Old Swan in Liverpool and was previously known as Dean Wood. It seems, before handing himself in to the Danish Police, he had travelled through Thailand, Canary Islands, and Ireland.

Brits in double trouble Two British men detained after a hit and run in Marbella are already suspects in the disappearance of Agnese Klavina. The driver of the Bentley, Westley Capper, fled after the accident but was later found and arrested. Capper was detained after the fatal hit and run of a woman in Marbella, but is already well known on the Costa del Sol as being one of the two main suspects in the Agnese Klavina case. Capper was the driver of the vehicle who ran over the victim and he, along with friend Craig Porter, are embroiled in the disappearance of the young Latvian, who vanished in 2014 outside a Marbella discotheque in the company of the two suspects. Capper and Porter, who supposedly was in the passenger seat during the hit and run, are accused of mowing down a 40 year old Bolivian woman who was crossing the road in San Pedro. The woman was left seriously injured, but the vehicle failed to stop. Local Police, however, had obtained a description of this distinctive car which made tracing the culprits easier, and just hours after the tragedy they were found in a bar. Both were indentified and detained, meanwhile the woman died in the Costa del Sol Hospital where she

had been admitted. The medics did their upmost to revive her, but her injuries were too serious. Westley Capper is the son of a British real estate tycoon with businesses on the Costa del Sol, where he lives and where he will be judged for the disappearance of Agnese Klavina, whose body has never been found. However, he has now been ordered to prison after his testimony, accused of the crimes of negligent homicide, failure to stop or report an accident, driving under the combined effects of drugs and alcohol and document falsification. Capper and Porter have been processed for aggravated illegal detention in the Agnese case after the charge of homicide had been dropped as the body has not been found and there has been no confession. Both were the last to see the young Latvian alive in the Aqua Mist Disco and she left in the car belonging to Capper, but they claim they let her out shortly after. However, the detectives had access to some images which showed a group of men carrying a very large suitcase on to a family yacht and then the vessel went out to sea.

Coral Bella Torrevieja On Sunday 10th June there will be a concert in the Palacio de la Música (Calle Antonio Machado, 47) at 7.00pm.

It’s the final countdown for Stagestruck The Stagestruck Theatre Group are in the last stages of preparing their show ‘Just Another Week in Paradise?’ for performance at the Cardenal Belluga Theatre in San Fulgencio on the 25th, 26th and 27th May. The cast has very much enjoyed rehearsing this original script written by Director Leigh Humphries. The story is set in a small hotel in the Costa Blanca and has been described as a cross between Faulty Towers and the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. There is a real mix of comical characters leading to some memorable interactions. It’s a first for Leigh who took over from the previous director, Stella Reardon, by directing the cast last year and is now writing original material for them too. There might be a change of director but there are plenty of familiar faces amongst the actors and actresses. Jim and Jean Speakman are much loved for their portrayal of the put-upon husband and his wife. Maureen, who plays a ‘Madge’ like character, will be there to add to the fun with her mobility scooter. Alongside the traditional favourites there are some new faces bringing additional sparkle to the show. Some of these have taken to the boards due to unforeseen circumstances. A husband and wife of other members of the cast have joined the troupe to fill vacancies. When a third cast member was unfortunately unable to perform due to personal reasons, Tony Goddard from A.C.T.S.

Theatre Group stepped in. ‘We have had our setbacks,’ explains Leigh Humphries. ‘The first being when we discovered that the town hall at San Fulgencio had double booked us for their Saturday night show.’ This led to a quick re-printing of posters and tickets and cancellations as some tickets had already been sold. However, the group were able to replace the Saturday performance with a Wednesday one.

Tickets are €6 and include a free drink on arrival. If you would like a ticket to see Stagestruck’s latest performance they are on sale at; the Card Place, Benimar, the Post Room, Benijofar, The Post Box, Dona Pepa, Quesada, Marabu Lounge, Quesada, Kennedys Supermarket, Los Montesinos and Ray's Laundry, La Marina.

Pensions headache? Where you can go for help to make sure you are on the right retirement road

f you have only a matter of months left either before retirement or when you can access your pension, experts suggest digging out information about your individual pension plans, tracing any lost or old ones and asking pension providers for an upto-date statement showing the value of your funds. You can expect any company you have pension savings with to issue ‘retirement risk warnings’ when you decide on withdrawing money from a pension.

Financial advice Speaking to a professional financial adviser will help those who have complex arrangements – several pension pots for example. There is more potential than ever to shape your retirement to be the way you want it. But at the same time there are more ways to get it wrong and do irreversible damage to your income in the later stages of life. Consulting an adviser should be considered essential. Speaking to an adviser can give you the confidence that you are doing the right thing with your money and can ultimately lead to higher income in retirement – often by thousands of pounds a year, outweighing the cost of advice. This is still true for those with modest pensions. There will usually be something you haven’t thought of, an opportunity you’ve missed or a problem you never considered. The adviser knows what to look out for, so can flag these up. Give us a call on 965 704 338 to book a free no-obligation appointment in our Benijofar office.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE The Euro has given up some of its recent gains against both the pound and the US dollar over the course of the week. Both currency pairs have seen very little volatility with the price ranges contained within one and a half cents. The week started off reasonably positive for the Eurozone with Germany’s manufacturers reporting uplift in new order activity, up 1.9% in March from the month before. The single currency’s fortunes seem to ignore the ongoing Greek debt burden concerns which are never far from headline news. The current impasse sees the International Monetary Fund look for firm evidence of Greek reform measures having been imposed, without such progress the IMF will remain reluctant to agree access to much needed bailout funding leaving the possibility for further snap Greek elections in the near future a distinct possibility. A Greek debt default is unlikely as no EU finance minister will countenance such an outcome especially at a time when the UK EU referendum vote draws near. The single currency drift lower towards 1.13 versus the US dollar as European Union gross domestic product for quarter one was revised to 0.5% form an earlier estimate of 0.6%. It had touched a peak of $1.1447 earlier in the week. Sterling has remained resilient despite the continuing weaker economic data releases seen over the week. The release of UK manufacturing production this week saw further evidence that the march of the makers has been totally derailed. Manufacturing production was done 0.4% between quarter 4 2015 and quarter 1

this year. Manufacturing production is now 10% lower than the level reached in the pre credit crunch period in quarter 1 2008, and is now officially back in recession. There was no surprised form the bank of England as the Monetary Policy Committee voted unanimously to leave the base rate unchanged at 0.5%. The current quantitative easing measures were also left unaltered at £375 billion. Mark Carney delivered his most telling assessment yet that should the UK’s population decide to vote to leave the European Union, UK growth would be materially lower with higher inflation. Whilst this view from Carney is nothing new, his reiteration with only six weeks left until voting begins will amplify the potential risks involved. Recent poor economic data has also prompted the Bank of England to revise GDP (gross domestic product) forecasts to the downside. GDP for 2016 is now projected at 2.0% down from a previous 2.2%; with 2017 and 2018 also altered by 0.1 to 2.3% and 0.2 to 2.4% respectively. The Sterling Euro has traded between 1.2612 and 1.2744. US retail sale were up significantly in April. Purchases were 1.3% higher than in march signalling that the US consumer is again willing to splash the cash as a healthier household financial environment leads to improving confidence. The USA will of course need its consumers to help kick start an economic recovery which has certainly stalled so far during 2016.

In Spanish commonly called ‘Flor de cera’ or ‘Flor de porcelana’ (porcelain flower), the Hoya carnosa is one of 100 species of Hoya that are native to Eastern Asia and Australia. This is a tropical perennial sensitive to cold temperatures. It will survive an occasional mild freeze, but ideally it should not be exposed to temperatures below 40° F (4.5° C). For this reason it is often grown indoors as a houseplant or in a pot so it can be taken in during cold spells. It is a wonderful plant indoors or out but a word of warning for those planning to keep it as a houseplant: The flowers are extremely rich in nectar which, because the flowers hang downwards, is liable to drop all over the floor. It is a very sticky substance which, if it has soaked into a carpet, can be difficult to remove. On stone, tile, or wood floors warm soapy water will get rid of it. The sweet-tasting nectar is very attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds. This plant is a late bloomer. Give it time to adjust when you bring it home. You may not see many blooms on it until it is 2 or 3 years old - sometimes even older but don't give up on it. Just make sure it receives at least half a day of indirect light to promote blooming. Given enough light, wax plant will suddenly surprise you with its beautiful flowers. LIGHT: Hoya carnosa prefers moderate light, with 4 hours of direct sunlight or a fair amount of indirect or filtered light. Morning sunlight with afternoon shade is ideal. Too much direct sunlight, especially during the hot summer, can

scorch the leaves and melt the wax that covers the leaves and flowers. WATER: Water Hoya carnosa regularly during the growing season, but allow the soil to become almost dry between waterings when the plant is resting. If the vine is potted, empty the drainage tray immediately after the water has finished trickling out of the bottom of the pot. Standing water can cause root rot. The waxy leaves hold some water so it will tolerate dry conditions better than wet. MAINTENANCE: Do not prune this plant. Let the long vines develop. Although they may seem spindly, spurs, which are the short stems of the eventual flowers, grow from the bare parts of the vines. The flowers will form on the same spurs year after year, so if you cut off the spurs, flower buds will not develop. When the plant does flower, leave the spent flowers alone. Do not pluck them off, which can damage the spurs. Instead, let them fall off naturally. Note that the faded flowers can be very sticky, so you might want to place something underneath indoor plants to catch the blooms. Again, don't prune off the leafless spurs where flowers have been produced. When not in bloom, focus is on the beautiful foliage which can be green, variegated, or sometimes flecked with silvery or creamy white. To cover up the bare parts and to give the vines a denser appearance, loop them around a wire hoop or trellis and tie loosely with florists’ wire.

This is a long-lived plant and easy to grow with little attention. The amazing flowers smell kind of like chocolate, you definitely know when it's blooming! It should be noted that Hoya's are highly addictive - once you see the flowers, there is no going back, you will want more... Marc Vijverberg

Hoya carnosa, nicknamed the wax plant for its thick, waxy leaves, is a woody evergreen vine that produces long lasting, parachuteshaped clusters of delicate pink or white star-shaped flowers in summer. The flowers are truly unique - so special that most people think this plant is a fake the first time they see it!

Bringing the dead back to life A groundbreaking trial to see if it is possible to regenerate the brains of dead people, has won approval from health watchdogs. A biotech company in the US has been granted ethical permission to recruit 20 patients who have been declared clinically dead, to test whether parts of their central nervous system can be brought back to life. Scientists will use a combination of therapies, which include injecting the brain with stem cells and a cocktail of peptides, as well as deploying lasers and nerve stimulation techniques which have been shown to bring patients out of comas. The trial participants will have been certified dead and only kept alive through life support. They will be monitored for several months using brain imaging equipment to look for signs of regeneration, particularly in the upper spinal cord - the lowest region of the brain stem which controls independent breathing and heartbeat. The team believes that the brain stem cells may be able to erase their history and re-start life

again, based on their surrounding tissue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a process seen in the animal kingdom in creatures like salamanders who can re-grow entire limbs. Dr Ira Pastor, the CEO of Bioquark Inc. said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This represents the first trial of its kind and another step towards the eventual reversal of death in our lifetime. To undertake such a complex initiative, we are combining biologic regenerative medicine tools with other existing medical devices typically used for stimulation of the central nervous system, in patients with other severe disorders of consciousness. We hope to see results within the first two to three months.â&#x20AC;? Brain stem death is when a person no longer has any brain stem functions, and has permanently lost the potential for consciousness and the capacity to breathe. A person is confirmed as being dead when their brain stem function is permanently lost. However, although brain dead humans are technically no longer alive, their bodies can often still circulate blood, digest

food, excrete waste, balance hormones, grow, sexually mature, heal wounds, spike a fever, and gestate and deliver a baby. Recent studies have also suggested that some electrical activity and blood flow continues after brain cell death, just not enough to allow for the whole body to function. And while human beings lack substantial regenerative capabilities in the central nervous system, many non-human species, such as amphibians and certain fish, can repair, regenerate and remodel substantial portions of their brain and brain stem even after critical life-threatening trauma. The study will provide insights into the state of human brain death, which will have important connections to future therapeutic development for other severe disorders of consciousness, such as coma, and the vegetative and minimally conscious states, as well as a range of degenerative CNS conditions, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

More concert success in La Zenia The Centro Ecumenico church at La Zenia was packed to the rafters with an eager audience on Saturday as they awaited the latest musical performance by Nigel Hopkins. His chamber choir, In Harmony, has been boosted by

Nigel’s superb protegé - emerged from the chorus, joined by Spanish Mezzo Soprano, Belén Puente, and performed with great skill and confidence. The performance was greeted with rapturous applause.

orchestral highlight of the evening was Albinoni's Adagio for Strings; surely one of the most well-known string ensembles of all time, and received the warmest applause of the whole evening.

20 singers so that 45 wellrehearsed performers filled the stage. In front of them were the professional Mediterranean Symphony Orchestra, making a splendid sight for the musicloving audience. The atmosphere was electric as the concert started with one of the most popular choral works in the world - Vivaldi's Gloria. The superb orchestral sound lifted the singers in a sublime rendition of the 30 minute work, with Nigel Hopkins exercising total control over both orchestra and singers. Two soprano soloists, Mary Beer and 18 year old Verity Hall –

There followed a programme of choral and orchestral 'potboilers'. The orchestra performed the Sinfonia from Messiah and the ever-popular Air on the G String by Bach - superbly played. The choir sang two unaccompanied pieces which showed a great contrast in the programme and which were sung with great feeling and accuracy. The beautiful Laudate Dominum from Mozart's Vespers, with soprano soloist Mary Beer followed. Nigel Hopkins described this as one of the most beautiful tunes ever written, and the audience agreed. The

The programme concluded with Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus, followed by the uplifting Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah which brought the entire audience leaping to its feet at the conclusion. The atmosphere and excitement engendered amongst the audience resulting from this truly memorable concert was evident with accolades emanating from every party. This was the first time that Nigel Hopkins had used an orchestra in Spain, and aficionados are already looking forward to the next time with eager anticipation.

PROPERTY BLOG

Is your home ready to show prospective buyers? Thank you to the Costa Blanca People newspaper for entrusting me to share with you all, my many years of knowledge and experience in the Spanish property industry. As a buyer it’s an exciting time, but as a seller it can be quite stressful. As an Estate Agent I know it’s easy for me to say “don’t worry, we can help”, but opening up your home can be a very emotional time. If your home is currently on the market, buyers will be coming inside to have a good look around… We all would love it if they would buy from seeing a photo, but hey… that just isn’t going to happen! They like to see the size of a room… remember, they’re trying to imagine how they can fit their own lives in there and if you have a house full of clutter, their eyes will be drawn to all of those ornaments. Believe me, no buyer will purchase any property just because they “like the souvenir you have on show from your latest trip to Amsterdam!” Now is the perfect time to have a good sort through any unwanted items. Box up those ornaments andIf you haven’t used it during the last two years give it a new life with someone else! Help support your local charity; they’re always grateful for donations. Once you’ve cleared all that clutter, walk through every room as if you were the buyer. Any paint touch ups needed? Now’s the time to get it done! Any repairs that need doing, do them now! Never promise to get them done… overpromising and underdelivering is not the best way to sell a house.

Now for the stressful part…Buyers walking through the memories of your life and making comments like “I’d change this”, or “I don’t like that” can be quite distressing. It doesn’t have to be a painful process! The simplest solution is to let your agent do it for you. If you’re hanging around for the viewing, you’re the “unwanted chaperone”. I’m sorry to say, but it’s the reality. Every buyer feels embarrassed walking through someone else’s home and they won’t even look at every room properly. Here’s the solution…. Leave for a little while. Sitting outside is perfectly acceptable, but don’t be inside! I know it can be irritating and you may be “biting at the bit” to inform the buyer of your upgrades. Of course, brand new appliances are always welcome over old worn out ones, but not everything you consider an upgrade is going to be a positive for every buyer. Most buyers make offers and always have reasons why they’re low… but now your home is ready for a viewing appointment, you’ll have more reasons why closest to the asking price is best! Remember, your buyer is just around the corner and can view at any time. The difference between your home and someone else’s…. YOU’RE the ones that will be ready! If you’re seriously considering buying or selling, log on to our website www.homes4u.es or visit our office. We’d be delighted to talk with you. See our advert in the centre pages of this newspaper!

Better Call Saul (2016) 8.8

Stars: Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks

The prequel to Breaking Bad follows small-time attorney Jimmy McGill as he transforms into Walter White’s morally challenged lawyer, Saul Goodman. He wasn't always Saul Goodman, ace attorney for chemist-turned-meth dealer Walter White. Six years before he begins to represent Albuquerque’s most notorious criminal, Goodman is Jimmy McGill, a small-time attorney hustling to make a name for himself. He’s a forceful champion for his low-income clients, an underdog whose morals and ambitions often clash. Jimmy works with private eye Mike Ehrmantraut, a former Philadelphia cop and recent transplant to the Southwest. Mike has a specialized skill set -- he’s a fixer of sticky situations -- that Jimmy soon learns to appreciate.

High Rise (2016) 6.5 Stars: Tom Hiddleston, Sienna Miller, Jeremy Irons A doctor (Tom Hiddleston) moves into a London skyscraper where rising tensions and class warfare lead to anarchy. From director Ben Wheatley (Kill List, Sightseers, A Field In England) and based on the classic novel by J.G. Ballard comes a unique and dazzling vision of a dystopian Britain on the brink of social meltdown. Featuring a stellar cast including Tom Hiddleston, Luke Evans, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller and Elizabeth Moss, HIGH-RISE is a oneof-a-kind cinematic event that is set to be one of the cultural talking points of 2016.

Precious Cargo(2016) 4.5

Stars: Bruce Willis, Mark‐Paul Gosselaar, Claire Forlani

After a botched heist, Eddie (Bruce Willis), a murderous crime boss, hunts down the seductive thief Karen (Claire Forlani) who failed him. In order to win back Eddie’s trust, Karen recruits her ex-lover and premier thief Jack (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) to steal a cargo of rare precious gems. But when the job goes down, allegiances are betrayed and lines are crossed as Jack, Karen, and Eddie face off in a fateful showdown.

Stella Series 5 (2016) 8.0

Stars: Ruth Jones, Clive Russell, Tony Gardner It’s Summertime in Pontyberry and the end of term for Stella. But with Michael working weekdays in London, it’s not just his allotment that Stella’s been tending: Beyonce’s baby is due in eight weeks and Stella’s been supporting her behind Michael’s back…uh oh! Meanwhile thereʹs scandal for Aunty Brenda when her ex‐husband Clem (Clive Russell) turns up and much to Bobby’s delight a mysterious new undertaker Ivan Schloss (Tony Gardner) rocks up in town. Jagadeesh settles in as landlord of the Frisky Fox and Little Alan becomes Stella’s new lodger.

‘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

A Serious outbreak of deadly humour The story is told of a call received by the New York Emergency Services from an almost hysterical lady who had stumbled across a man lying prone on the footpath. “There is a guy on the ground and I think he’s dead”, she wailed into her phone. “Calm down ma’am, calm down please”, came the soothing tones of the operator; “can you first make sure that the man lying on the street really is dead.” BANGBANG: As the operator hears gun-fire over the phone, the lady resumes with; “Ok, Operator, I’ve done as you’ve asked.”! Of course that is most likely a tall tale, but read on and see some of the wit and black humour used as epitaphs on real gravestones. Remember, the following are all true. Some of the sidesplitting epitaphs are accidental, but most are clever, cruel and well thought out. First a funny one by accident … or is it!? “Sacred to the memory of Major James Brush, who was killed by the accidental discharge of a pistol by his orderly: 14th April 1831: Well done thou good and faithful servant”. One of my all time favourites; which the NRA should erect on billboards along our

roads reads:”Here lies Samuel Jay, who died defending his right of way. He was in the right as he sped along, now he’s just as dead as if he was wrong”. Nowhere was life ever cheaper than out in the Old West and the frivolous nature of some of the epitaphs in Tombstone City reflect this fact. One like; “Here lies Lester Moore; four slugs from a forty-four; no less – no more.” One which many of us learned going to school reads; “Come blooming youths, as you pass by, And on these lines do cast an eye; As you are now, so once was I; As I am now, so must you be; Prepare for death and follow me.” In itself that one is not funny, until some wag wrote underneath: “To follow you I am content, but how do I know which way you went?”! Very often, as we have shown, the funniest epitaphs describe the manner of death of the victim – such as the one to New Yorker, Harry smith, which tells its own story: “Harry Edsel Smith: Born 1903 – Died 1942. Looked up the elevator shaft to see if the car was on the way down. It was.” More in similar vein: “Here lies the body of Jonathon Blake: Stepped on the gas instead of

Expert tips for nutrition

One of the reasons why the majority of people fail in their aim to get healthy is because it involves changing eating habits. The older people get, the more stubborn they become and the harder it is to turn an adjustment into a lifestyle. What makes the process even more frustrating is the abundance of information out there about food. Marketing professionals are experts at masking certain bad foods. For example, some protein bars are nothing but “glorified sweets”, also, while plain Greek yoghurt is good for you, the flavoured versions are not. People have individual preferences and very different schedules. What works for some may have the opposite effect on others. Eating better is not rocket science; a lot of factors need to be considered. The nutrition tips on the following list can help guide you in the right direction.

the brake.” Nearer home, there is a headstone erected in Belturbet, which tells a sad story, with more than a hint of Cavan dead-pan humour. “Here lies the body of John Round, lost at sea and never found.” Read that one again and think about it! Now I don’t believe that any of us would like this inscription over our dearly deceased auntie, but some niece or nephew in California had the following life-story chiselled in stone: “Here lies the body of poor Aunt Charlotte, born a virgin, died a harlot. For 16 years she kept her virginity, a damn’d long time for this vicinity.” And now, dear reader, whilst you are still outraged by that last one – it gets worse! The following cruel epitaph marks the spot in a North Carolina cemetery where the spinster postmistress was laid to rest: “Returned – unopened.” Sorry about that; I’m not making these things up – I just looked them up! One more which you will find it hard to believe is genuine – but it is. This is from a Streathorn cemetery in the UK, evidently inscribed by a longsuffering husband: “Here lies Elizabeth, my wife of 47 years, and this is the first

damn thing she ever done to oblige me.” Oh dear …! Next we come to one in Nova Scotia, where someone had obviously been waiting even longer for the wake. “Here lies Ezekiel Aikle, age 102. The good die young.” And yes, the sisters did have their say too. The wife of an adulterous husband had her revenge after his death with the immortal words on his tombstone telling the world; “Gone, but not forgiven.” In Vermont cemetery in 1803 a headstone was erected over a fresh grave, with an inscription we think was more appropriately suited to the classifieds of the local newspaper. “Sacred to the memory of my husband, John Barnes. His comely young widow, aged 23, has many qualifications of a good wife and yearns to be comforted.” The wit in many famous epitaphs was linked to the trade or profession of the deceased. You can guess what Jededian Goodman worked at when I tell you his epitaph read; “Born 1828 – Going! Going!! Gone!!! 1876.” Or Thomas Coffin: “Died 1842: He’s done acatching cod and gone to meet his God.” I’ll make the next one easy and tell you the guy had worked all his life

fruit, little starch and no sugar. Packaged foods – even soups – are devious sources of unhealthy fats, sugar, salt, and extra calories you don’t want or need in your body. That’s why nutritionists recommend eating foods that don’t have labels as much as possible.

sodium, which is should be no more than 2,300 mg. They are not only poor for heart health, but cause ﬂuid retention and swelling, making a person feel bloated.

Have cheat days No matter what you call them, have one cheat day once a week. There are definitely great tasting things that you should not be eating with regularity, so cheat days are a good way to indulge in these things without breaking your diet. Think alcohol, dessert, fast food and salty snacks. Avoid chain fast food restaurant food items Fast food chains have some products that they market as healthy but really contain lots of artiﬁcial chemicals, fat, sugar, and sodium. Even their salads are high in sodium. McDonald’s four salad options, for example, have between 790-1,120 mg of sodium and 11-29 g of fat and that’s just the salad, so not so healthy.

Don’t eat something that “will never go bad” Don’t eat foods that will never go bad because they have too many preservatives. A potential, but seriously harmful, effect of preservatives in foods is their ability to transform into carcinogens when digested. Cut sugar Sugar is usually the first thing nutritionists cut from people’s diets, but you can’t go cold turkey and make a lot of sudden changes. Foods that are high in refined sugar need to go first. Then work on cutting other artificial sugars from your diet. Stay away from things in packaging Keep this in mind from now on when you go shopping. Eat meat, vegetables, nuts and seeds, some

Don’t get too restrictive If you get too restrictive, cut out food groups, or resist all of your favourite foods, you will likely overeat those items when temptation hits, and go overboard. Or you will do wonderfully losing weight in ‘diet mode’ but quickly gain it back after when you return to your old ways. Stay away from trans fats Trans fats, such as lard and many fried foods are not good for heart health. They increase your bad cholesterol while lower the levels of the good kind. The primary dietary source for trans fats in processed food is partially hydrogenated oils. Look for that on the labels. Cut high sodium foods High sodium foods such as bacon, sausage, pickles, ham, ramen, processed deli meats (salami, ham, pastrami) should be avoided. These high sodium foods can quickly add up to more than your days’ worth of

Alcohol and weight loss While nutrition experts point out that drinking in moderation has been proven to have some health benefits, most agree it should be cut if you’re trying to lose weight. The empty calories add up. A regular Pina Colada has 570 calories, add that with other drinks and you can end the day with extra 3,000 calories. So if you want the best results possible ditch the vino completely. Cook your own meals Cooking your own meals is the only way you can be absolutely certain what your body will be consuming. Also, when you cook, you tend to use less processed foods and more natural foods. Avoid fat-free products You’re eating food that’s not food anymore. Break this ‘healthy’ habit. Fat-free products have too many artificial chemical agents added to make the food taste good. Also, the truth is that such “better” products can have almost as many calories as their original versions. Diet sodas are one of the worst products; experts all agree they are slowly killing us. Don’t skip meals Skipping meals never works. The chance of overeating later and gaining weight is too high. It’s like a yo-yo going back and forth. There are plenty of fulfilling foods that help you drop pounds. Some of the more immediate bad effects of skipping meals include irregular blood sugar levels, slower metabolism and fatigue. About low-carb diets This is a very divisive topic in the nutrition industry. Most people that don't exercise regularly have no need to eat a large amount of carbs. Carbs are fuel for muscles, and if muscles aren't being used, there's no need for loads of carbs. Some people with medical conditions such as diabetes will benefit from staying on low-carb diets. But in general the body needs

as a waiter: “Here lies the body of Detlof Swenson. God finally caught his eye, April 10, 1902.” An English lawyer received an excellent summing up on his headstone. “Sir John Strange. Here lies an honest lawyer and that is Strange.” As a struggling coffee addict, the next one gives this column food for thought. “Here lies; cut down like unripe fruit, the wife of Deacon Amos Shute: She died of drinking too much coffee, Anny Domminy…eighteen forty.” And on that concluding coffee scare, what epitaph would I like over myself in Killulagh? Don’t think anything too risqué will get past Fr. Heaney … so maybe something along the lines of. “Beneath this spot, the Ber does lie; He never thought he was going to die. Got things wrong until the day he died, but he never gave up and always tried”!

Remember the hunter who climbed a fence carrying a loaded shot gun: He is survived by his wife, three children and one rabbit.

some carbs. Some can help you lose weight. Most people feel like they can’t eat carbs when dieting or trying to eat healthier. Carbohydrates, when consumed in healthier ways and not in excess, like whole grains and fruits, are great for you and provide nutrients, vitamins, minerals and ﬁbre that you may be missing otherwise. Food labels can be deceiving Beware of big prints on labels as they are likely overblowing an attribute. Also, some labels say “no cholesterol,” but still have a lot of trans fats. Don’t buy foods that have more than 5-7 ingredients. You also want to understand everything written on the label. “Non-dairy milk is very popular these days but it has a lot of added things that people are unsure of. They can affect your digestion or you could be allergic. Check the portion size, sodium and sugar. Divide the grams of sugar by 4 and this is how many teaspoons of sugar there are in the product. Stick to water as much as possible Many people don’t like plain ol’ water but you can diversify it in many ways. Add lemon, cucumber, oranges, strawberries or tea leaves at the bottom for flavor. Just don’t flavor water artificially. Hot water with mint, lemon or cucumber is also a great alternative to tea or coffe, especially first thing. Practice portion control Nutritionists agree – eat what you enjoy but be mindful of the portions and frequency. Practicing moderation and balance helps you start routines and strategies, like smaller portions that are more likely to last a lifetime and maintain hard earned weight loss and a healthy weight. Lose weight slowly through changed eating habits and your more likely to succeed. Keep a food journal Keeping a food journal is very important because it helps people become aware and accountable when it comes to their meals and eating habits. It helps you keep track of what you are eating and how much of it. It’s much easier to see where unnecessary calories are being consumed and adjust your eating.

Tesco comes to Spain Favourite British supermarket Tesco is moving in to Spain via a wholesale deal with native department store El Corte Ingles. The supermarket, which already wholesales its products in more than 20 overseas markets including India, will sell British favourites including teas, biscuits and cereals including granola. In return, Tesco is to expand a trial of El Corte Ingles products in its stores including sherry vinegar, sliced meats and extra virgin olive oil. El Corte Ingles has said it will supply 48 product lines to the UK

after a successful trial in five Tesco stores in London which began late last year. Its products will now be distributed outside the capital in cities including Brighton, Cambridge and Edinburgh. Tesco said: “We’re always looking to offer customers new and exciting products as part of our world food range. We’re currently trialling products from El Corte Ingles in a small number of stores and are looking forward to seeing how customers respond.” Tesco started up its wholesale business less than four years ago and reportedly has had particular

success with exporting its organic, gluten-free and speciality baby care products which are not easily available in some developing markets. It sells own label items including its premium brand ‘Finest’ product lines. The British supermarket is looking for new ways to expand abroad in international markets after being forced to retreat from China, South Korea, Japan and the US. In India, Tesco provides 80 percent of the stock sold by Star Bazaar, part of the Tata Group, including food and other products.

Fake travel sites cost holidaymakers millions The number of British tourists who have lost money through travel scams has increased five times over in the last year. The surge has resulted in police now being set to crack down on these fraudulent websites after holidaymakers lost more than 15 million euros last year due to a significant rise in online reservations. The average traveller falling foul of fraudsters on the web was conned out of 3,795 euros. Pundits believe the scams have evolved partly due to websites such as Airbnb where con-artists can easily advertise non-existent properties or enter the accounts of legitimate property owners. The news comes after

thousands of villa rental clients were scammed last year when major booking site Owners Direct.com was targeted by fraudsters using ‘phishing’ techniques. Tens of thousands of tourists were left without a place to stay after the homeowners’ profiles were hacked by scammers asking that the booking fees be paid into their own bank accounts. Now a new problem has emerged with phony flight websites offering budget fares – some tourists even being led to them through legitimate pricecomparison sites. Get Safe Online campaign, an Association of British Travel Agents initiative, has been launched to

remove fake websites after victims raise the alert. Legal companies are also set to up their online security measures. “The victims are not just suffering a financial cost they also have to deal with the severe disappointment of holidays or trips to visit loved-ones being cancelled at short notice and fraudsters are always on the lookout for new opportunities,” said ABTA chief executive Mark Tanzer. An Airbnb spokesman boasted that the website has facilitated “80 million positive, safe stays and issues for hosts and guests are incredibly rare with a safety team of over 250 to prevent fraud”.

Fewer biblical baby names The birth register in Spain shows the Church has lost influence when it comes to naming newborns. With the Catholic Church’s influence increasingly diluted, Spain is no longer naming its baby girls after virgins or using José and Jesús for little boys, according to a recent survey by the state-funded Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). Nine of the 10 most popular names for girls during the 1960s were virgins – María del Carmen, Ana María, María Dolores, María del Pilar, María José, María Teresa, María Ángeles, María Isabel and Rosa María. Together with Isabel, they were used to christen 21 percent of newborn girls. In the first decade of the 21st century, María hung onto its position at the top of the charts but the remaining nine names had no association with the virgin – Lucía, Paula, Laura, Marta, Alba, Sara, Andrea, Claudia and Carla. “Shortly before the beginning of the baby boom in the 1960s, Pope Pius XII had issued his encyclical Caeli Reginam

(1954), which he dedicated to the Virgin Mary,” explains one of the analysts of the survey headed by Antonio Abellán from the Institute of Economy, Geography and Demographics from the CSIC. “One of the theories explaining the proliferation of the name María is that his encyclical would have inspired bishops and local priests, whose enthusiasm affected all the girls who were christened, which was everyone at that time. The parents would have come with the idea of christening their daughter Pilar and the priest would have persuaded them to call her María Pilar. They wielded a certain influence or had the power to impose,” says Abellán. This study also revealed that, for boys, the names José and Jesús are gradually disappearing – names that, in the 1930s, took first and 10th place, respectively, among Spaniards. For every 100 baby boys born, nine were christened José. This century, the 10 most popular boy’s names are Alejandro, Daniel, Pablo, David, Adrián, Álvaro, Javier,

Sergio, Carlos and Iván. “The Church’s influence has diminished,” says Abellán. The analysts point out that “the most popular names among our grandfathers were more frequently used than the most popular names among our grandmothers.” In the 1930s, the 10 most common names were used for 40 percent of all boys while the same applied to only 29 percent of girls. This phenomenon probably reflects the fact that “the male represented the continuity of the family; the property and business, and so on, which means the name was less likely to vary,” according to Isabel Fernández Morales, also from the Institute of Economy, Geography and Demographics, In the 21st century, however, this tendency has been reversed with 22 percent of girls receiving the 10 most popular names as opposed to 20 percent of boys.

Spanish face an increasingly weighty problem Nearly four in 10 Spanish adults are clinically overweight, with the highest numbers of obese people living in the far south and far north, according to research by the Spanish Cardiology Society (SEC). Andalucía, Galicia and Asturias have more overweight residents than anywhere else in Spain, and the slimmest inhabitants are found in the Balearic Islands, Catalunya and the Basque Country. The over-25s, up to State pension age are, in 39.3 percent of cases, considered medically overweight, with 21.6 percent of this age group – more than one in five – being clinically obese. This rises to a quarter of the adult population in the three worstaffected regions. Asturias has the most obese inhabitants: 41.1 percent are above the normal weight range for their age, sex and height, and 25.7 percent are dangerously fat. But overweight residents in general are more likely to be seen in Galicia: a total of 43.5 percent of adults are too heavy, and 24.9 percent clinically obese. In Andalucía, the totals are 38.9 percent and 24.4 percent respectively. Balearic Islanders are overweight in 32.2 percent of cases, and just over one in 10 are obese – the lowest figures in the country. Catalunya has more

overweight inhabitants even than Andalucía and nearly as many as Asturias, at 39.8 percent, but fewer people who suffer from obesity, at 15.5 percent. The Basque Country has the second-fewest number of overweight residents at 33.9 percent, and the third-fewest who are clinically obese, at 16.8 percent. Men are more likely to be overweight or obese than women, the SEC study reveals. The rise in obesity and excess weight in general in the western world is becoming a grave concern, the SEC says, given that too-high levels of body fat are among the primary causes of several types of cancer, heart conditions, stroke risk and Type II diabetes. According to the SEC and despite recent conflicting studies, body-mass index, or BMI, continues to be a benchmark for ideal weight. The World Health Organisation (WHO) considers a BMI of 25 or more to be ‘overweigh’ and 30 or more to be ‘obese’. BMI is measured by taking the height in metres with decimal points – for example, 5'5” is 165 centimetres, or 1.65 metres – and squaring it, then dividing the body weight in kilos by this figure. Healthy For example, a woman of 5'4” (1.63 metres) is considered a

'normal' or 'healthy' weight at between 7st 7lb and 10st 7lb (49.4 and 66.5 kilos), but 'overweight' from the top figure of this range through to 12st 7lb (79.4 kilos), after which she is 'clinically obese'. A man of 5'10” (1.78 metres) is within the 'normal' weight range from 59 kilos, or 9st 4lb, through to 79.4 kilos or 12st 7lb, after which he is considered 'overweight', and from 15st or 95.3 kilos is 'clinically obese'. The SEC urges everyone to try to eat a healthy, balanced diet with the right quantities of vitamins, minerals, unsaturated fat, complex carbohydrates and protein, and to keep active for a total of half an hour a day as a minimum – even if this is just through housework, walking to the shops or gardening.

laptop has started to show a blinking green light on the front which is by a battery symbol. It occasionally changes to an orange light, and when it does I get a warning flash up that the battery is critical and to plug into the mains supply. I only ever have it plugged in to the wall and switch it off and unplug it at night but I am worried that I may damage the laptop. Please can you advise what I should do? Aunty Says:

Hi Sue. It’s probably time for a new battery, but as you are running your laptop only from the mains then you may as well take your battery out. If you flip your laptop over you should see a spring loaded catch and probably a similar lock that you simply slide and lift the battery out. Simon via email asks: Dear Aunty, I recently upgraded my tower for a new Windows 10 laptop which has been fine for downloading films and music which is all I use it for. The only problem that I am having is that I have already filled it up very quickly (the hard disk is 320GB) so is it easy enough to add another one or upgrade the hard drive that is in there? Aunty Says: You won’t be able to add another disk Simon, and although you could in theory replace the existing one, there will be a huge amount of work reinstalling Windows/programs and transferring all your data. You may find using a USB3 external hard disk easier (and cheaper) and you won’t need a geek to fit it. You can pick a 1TB one up for under €50 which you simply plug into a spare USB3 port (USB sockets are blue and faster) and it will simply appear as a new drive letter where you should move all of your films.

because they are set to Spain it is assuming you are in Spain. The next time you are over there go to “Control Panel” and under the “Region and Language” setting you can change your location to the UK. Sue via email asks: Hello Aunty. My 5 year old Sony

Alzheimer's and Election alliance between Podemos and far-left party Parkinson's cure Spain's anti-austerity party Podemos has formed a formal alliance with its smaller far-left rival Izquierda Unida to run together in 26 June elections, boosting the chances they will become the nation's main opposition group. The preliminary agreement to stand together in the repeat polls has been submitted to party members for final approval in a referendum, although the details of the deal still need to be ironed out. A successful Podemos-IU alliance could alter the power balance between the right and left if the Socialists - the current main opposition group - finally agree to govern with them after the election. Podemos, which was founded in 2014 and is closely aligned to Greece's ruling Syriza party, and Izquierda Unida (IU), a communist-green party, called the agreement ‘historic’. “We have agreed on what is essential: we will run together in the elections to win them, and I suspect our members and those of IU will react to this historic opportunity with enthusiasm,” Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias said recently in a radio interview. Iglesias, a 37-year-old pony-tailed politics professor, and the leader of IU, photogenic 30-year-old Alberto Garzon, posted a video on social media sites announcing their tentative deal last week. In the video the two men hug in Madrid's central Puerta del Sol square, where Spain's ‘Indignado’ protest movement against corruption and economic

inequality was born some five years ago. Based on the results of an inconclusive 20 December general election, an alliance between the two parties could relegate the Socialists, long the voice of Spain's left, to third place. The Socialists came in second in the December ballot behind the ruling conservative Popular Party, winning 5.5 million votes, which gave them 90 seats in Spain's 350-seat

parliament. Podemos and its allies came in third with 5.18 million votes and 69 seats while IU got over 900,000 votes, but won just two seats. But all polls carried out since the elections have pointed to a fall in support for Podemos and a rise in those who are IU voters. Just last year Iglesias dismissed IU as the ‘Grouchy Smurf’ of Spain's left. He scuttled an agreement with the far-left party claiming it brings ‘bad luck’, frightening voters with a programme he judged to be too radical. “To govern, we will need the Socialists. We want an agreement with the Socialists,” Iglesias said. December's vote put an end to Spain's traditional two-party system as voters fed

up with austerity and corruption scandals flocked to new groups, resulting in a hung parliament. The four parties were unable to agree on a governing coalition, leading King Felipe to call fresh elections, Spain's first repeat poll since the country returned to democracy following the death of dictator Francisco Franco in 1975. Suspicion The Socialists were tasked by the king to form a coalition after acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy - whose conservative Popular Party (PP) won 123 seats - gave up trying to form a government for lack of support. The Socialists were suspicious of Podemos, which launched ceaseless attacks and openly aspired to become Spain's main opposition party, so they negotiated a pact with centrist upstart Ciudadanos which won 40 seats. But the Socialists and Ciudadanos, which together had just 130 seats, were unable to win a confidence vote in the 350-seat parliament. Rajoy has already warned of the dangers of a tie-up of “radicals and extremists” while a spokesman for his PP called the Podemos-IU pact “a sort of association between Communist Cuba and populist Venezuela”. Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera said that by allying itself with IU, Podemos “cannot talk about being a force of change of new politics”. “It makes it easier for us,” added Rivera whose party competed with Podemos for the youth vote.

A cure for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease is on the horizon after scientists successfully reversed symptoms by destroying two chemicals found in the brain. The diseases are caused by the degeneration of neurons and cannot currently be cured. However, scientists who successfully blocked harmful compounds in fruit flies now hope symptoms in humans could also be reversed, since their brains - although much larger - are strikingly similar since they share many of the same genes. Dr Carlo Breda, of Leicester University, said: “A key finding of our study is we can improve 'symptoms' in fruit fly models of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease by feeding them a drug-like chemical.” The study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences focused on protecting brain cells lost in Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's and could provide a turning point in the fight against the two most common neurological conditions. It used the common laboratory fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster in order to explore the role of molecules known as KMO and TMO, which Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients have a raised level of, leading to a build-up of poisonous proteins. They also lead to another, much rarer neuro-degenerative disease Huntington's. The five year study found that inhibiting the enzymes improved the function of flies genetically engineered

to develop the three conditions because of increased levels of a ‘protective’ chemical known as kynurenic acid. This counteracts the effects of the toxic metabolites, reports Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Professor Flaviano Giorgini said: “We are excited by these results as they suggest TDO and KMO inhibition could be a general strategy employed to improve symptoms in a myriad of neurodegenerative disorders - not just Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. “Indeed five years ago we first showed these manipulations could improve ‘symptoms’ in Huntington's disease model flies so our next step is to validate our work in mammalian models and ultimately to see if such drugs could be helpful to patients in clinical trials.” The researchers said KMO and TMO cause damage in an area of nerve cells known as the kynurenine pathway leading to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or Huntington's. Prof Giorgini said: “There's a fine balance between levels of 'good' and 'bad' metabolites that occurs in the kynurenine pathway. In disease it shifts towards the 'bad' and by inhibiting TDO or KMO we shift it back to 'good'. For example we find if we inhibit either TDO or KMO in Huntington's flies we reduce loss of neurons. “In Alzheimer's or Parkinson's flies we see extension of the shortened lifespan exhibited and we also reverse the defects they have in movement.”

MARGI’S E-CIGARETTES Quesada & Torrevieja E liquids and the new EU Law At last, a law that will put an end to inferior e liquids On 20th May 2016 new TPD (Tobacco Products Directive) laws covering the whole of the EU come into effect and if you have an electronic cigarette, or thinking of switching to one, this law will affect you. Every country within the European Union has to comply with the regulations related to the supply and manufacture of e-liquids and e-cigarettes. The law is intended to : • Improve quality and safety with the implementation of improved controls on equipment and liquids • Offer detailed product information on both outer packaging and labels • Protect users against inferior, dangerous products • E-liquid refills will be limited to 10ml • The level of nicotine contained in e-liquids is limited to 20mg per ml. This is a dose similar to a standard cigarette • Disposable e-cigarettes, tanks or single-use cartridges are limited to 2ml • The ingredients used in the manufacture of e-liquids should have high purity standards • There should be no potential health risks to users as regards ingredients and flavours

This means that ALL e liquids should be manufactured using pharmaceutical grade nicotine and should have been tested in government approved laboratories and certified. Imported liquid from the USA is acceptable, but imports from China (PRC) or any country outside the EU are not. This is

because the quality of ingredients cannot be assured and any certificates supplied with these liquids are not accepted in the EU Bottles used should be childproof and clearly indicate that it has not been opened previously. The onus is on the manufacturer to prevent breakage and leakage of e-cigs during the refill process. Full responsibility must be taken by the manufacturers regarding the safety and quality of the product during normal usage. This declaration should be clear and

made public. New e-cigarette packaging must indicate: • ‘Keep out of reach of children’ messages • Instructions on the usage and storage of the devices • Statutory health warnings • Listings of all ingredients, product batch number, level of nicotine content and the delivery of nicotine per dose • Potential side-effects • Warnings regarding toxicity, addiction and health risk groups To ensure protection against inferior quality of the products, importers and manufacturers have to offer information related to eliquids and e-cigarettes prior to marketing the product. The details required include: • Details related to the manufacturer, emissions and the ingredients in the product • Information regarding levels of nicotine uptake and delivery • Information regarding the production process You are more than welcome to view certificates regarding our liquids at Margi’s E Cigs. There is a 6 month period to enable sale of some stock that does not comply with the new law i.e., 30ml, 20ml and 15ml liquids.

Long wait for Spanish ops Operation waiting lists have reached a three month milestone in Spain. Recent data obtained from the Government about National Health hospital waiting lists for operations in Spain has shown that despite best efforts to reduce the time that patients have to wait to undergo an operation, the situation is actually worse. Regional governments have been pumping money into the system and have even put in place special plans to cut down on operation waiting time for patients, but apparently to no avail. The fact that the number of people served by the National Health System has also been reduced by half a million residents since 2012 doesn’t seem to have made any difference either. The average amount of time that a patient currently has to wait to receive a surgical operation on the NHS reached 89 days at the end of December last year; this is two days more than last year, and 13 more than in June 2012. The waiting time for a surgical

operation in Spain varies according to which autonomous region the patient lives in. For example, those living in the Canary Islands are likely to have to wait for an average of 175.9 days; those in Asturias or Extremadura will be operated on after around 144 days of waiting and residents

in the Valencia Region will be called for their operation after approximately 120 days. In total, there are 549,424 patients currently waiting for a non-urgent procedure with one of the 14 different speciality departments. This is 37,501 more than in December 2014 and 12,513 more than in June 2012. Patients waiting for

neurosurgical operations will have to wait the longest, at 160 days. This is followed by 135 days for plastic surgery and 112 for traumatology. With the exception of cataract removal and hip replacement operations, where the waiting time has been reduced, for all other types of procedures, patients now have to wait significantly longer than before. On a more positive note, patients wanting to see a specialist doctor now only have to wait around 58 days, as this has been reduced from 65 days from last year. It is unfortunate for the Government that when it comes to public health, the situation is worse than when it took over from the previous government. It seems that the cuts in the healthcare budget by 7 billion euro have had a negative impact on patients’ waiting times and the system in general. Obviously, for those that can afford private healthcare, the waiting time for an operation is much less. On average patients have to wait 43.5 days, less than half the time of patients on the public health system.

Glass or two Ageing Spanish population of wine is increases health and good for pension spending your health Having a glass of wine with your dinner could lead to better mental and physical health and higher self-esteem, according to a new study. Contrary to UK Government advice suggesting keeping several days ‘alcohol free’, a new study from researchers in Finland, published in the Alcohol and Alcoholism journal, found a few glasses of wine per day with an evening meal could actually be good for you. Researchers from the universities of Helsinki and Tampere studied the drinking habits of almost 2,600 people between 18 and 69, and found that 12 percent of people who had a glass of wine or two with dinner were the most likely to have good physical and mental health, and rate their self-esteem as ‘high’. In fact, the research suggested those who drank wine with their dinner every night were less likely to binge drink and “should not be considered at risk” of doing so, the Daily Mail reported. However, the ‘dinner table effect’ meant those who drank a few glasses of wine a day away from the dinner table did not fare as well health-wise, while those who mixed their drinks at the dinner table were more likely to binge drink. Current recommended guidelines in the UK are no more than 14 units of alcohol per week for both men and women – after changes to the guidelines saw men’s recommended units lowered from 21. However, those drinking two glasses of wine per day, as those with good health and high self-esteem did in the drinking study, would be consuming more than 22 units per week – which is way above the recommended expert guidelines.

The ageing Spanish population will mean more spending on health and pensions and cuts in education. According to the National Statistics Institute, in the year 2064 there will be four workers for every three retirees. Therefore, the Business Patronal sees a future with more spending on health and social services and also cuts in education. The Spanish Confederation of Business Organisations (CEOE) thinks unemployment will be under 8 percent in 2025 given the ageing population and fewer jobs available. To reduce the current level of unemployment to 18 percent by the end of next year the CEOE confirms economic recovery with two numbers: 850,000 more jobs in the next two years and 900,000 fewer unemployed. The difference between the two numbers is explained by the shrinking workforce – available for work. In a press conference, the director of

the department of European and Economic Affairs in the CEOE, Bernardo Aguilera, explained one of the objectives of the report is the put before the political parties the scenario of the need to reform the current pact on pensions known as the Pact of Toledo. Aguilera explained that between 2015 and 20150 the over 65 age group will double - converting Spain into the second country with average oldest population, only behind Japan - and in the year 2064 there will be four workers for every three retired. Therefore, Aguilera put forward what needs to be done by the population at large, a change in thinking regarding the importance of savings, making white electrical goods last their lifetime and a new structure to ease the lower earners into housing. He also said this new photograph would imply more spending on health and social services and cuts in education at the nursery school level in particular.

May 17th - May 23rd 2016

his week we bring the welcome return of a couple of acts that have been away from the Spanish circuit for a while. Recently returned comic Justin Sane is already making waves once more after returning to Spain after a long break in the UK. Justin will be making waves with his hilarious comedy and smooth vocal routine at Victoria’s Tea Room in Almoradi this Saturday. I am sure that readers would also like to offer congratulations to Justin on his recent engagement. Also back after spending the winter working the clubs in the midlands is little miss party herself, Natasha Parx. Natasha spent last summer here on the Costa Blanca, and loved it so much that she vowed to return as soon as her UK commitments were completed. Natasha has recently married fellow vocalist and Elvis tribute Danny Fisher. There does seem to be a touch of love in the air! A new act to watch out for is 5 piece blues and country rock band Diamond Star. Hailing from the Alicante area, their first gig at Pablo’s International was a huge success. This week they can be found at The Club in Quesada. The band is a truly international band with members hailing from Israel, Spain and UK. Santa Pola del Este is fast becoming the place to be. This week The Leprechaun is privileged to have Calpe based guitar/vocalist Steve Delaney. Steve was one of the original founder members of the famous Sheffield based “Sharp Cuts” who went on to win New Faces. Steve now lives in Spain permanently and although he has only been in the country 3 months has found that demand is high for his brilliant act. Having watched him the other night I can tell you that the audience were awestruck with his guitar skills, notwithstanding being able to play behind his back, the range of genres he covers is just amazing. Speaking of amazing, I would like to say thank you to everyone who has bought tickets and keeps on selling out all my shows. The amount of money raised for charity on them is just staggering. I am planning on venturing into several new venues and plans have already been made for some spectacular shows in all areas, plus one “blow your mind” concert in September. I am always keen to give new charities - a chance to not only promote the work that they do but also to raise that much needed hard cash. If you or your charity needs help and are willing to come along to one of my events, please drop me a line so that I can get the ball rolling. Shows will be held during the coming year from Quesada to Murcia. If you would like your events in this guide, they are FREE. Just email me the details to letsrockshowslive@gmail.com. To book acts please go to my new site www.jaxlawson.com Shows dates can be found on www.lrshows.com Love life, love music and support your venues and acts. Jax Lawson xx

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.

Your week in Sport ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

Max Verstappen won the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday aged just 18 years and 228 days. It’s worth remembering that when I was 18 years and 228 days I was still working double shifts in the pub to save enough money for driving lessons. Verstappen became the youngest winner of a Grand Prix in a race that saw both Mercedes crash out and Lewis

Hamilton taking the brunt of the blame. Hamilton really will do anything to make sure his Mercedes teammate doesn’t win. The Test cricket summer gets

underway on Thursday, with England heading to Headingly to take on the flair of Sri Lanka. The squad named by the England selectors smacks of continuity and common sense, not something this column is a fan of. Still, Vince will bat at five replacing Taylor and the Hampshire captain has been likened to a young Michael Vaughan. That will please Marcus Trescothick no end. Jake Ball is likely to be the back up seamer with Finn likely to get a chance to resume his England career once again. In the women’s game, Claire Edwards has been sacked as England captain. It was decided that the England team could not carry their record scorer any longer, feeling that her continued presence in the side was casting a shadow over other newer faces. Therefore she was cast aside, and a new era draws in. We can only hope that Roy Hodgson takes inspiration from such a brave decision. The Grand National winner Rule the World has been put into early retirement by his trainer, Mouse. It was felt the champion had had his day and injuries had meant he was never likely to scale the same heights again. We can only hope that Roy Hodgson takes inspiration from such a brave decision. Roger Federer is still looking unlikely to play at Roland Garros in the French Open. The legendary Swiss is still struggling from an unknown back injury that hampered him during the Rome Masters. Federer was thought to be unsure as to whether he could play just minutes before warming up for

each match in Italy and will not contemplate going to France if he cannot put on a performance that will not damage his legacy. We can only hope that Wayne Rooney takes some inspiration from that thought process. It must be time for the part of this column that I always keep free for “athletics scandals.” Oh yes, they are at it again and they do not care what time of year they cheat! Allegedly the vast majority of the Russian gold medal winners from the Winter Olympics in Sochi 2012 can throw their medals in a bin because they won them by cheating. A Russian official, who could well be spending the next few weeks looking over his shoulder, has blown the whistle on a secret hole in the lab where the urine samples of Russian Winter athletes were kept. Overnight

the real samples were swapped with clean samples, allegedly, and hey presto the Russians leapt to the top of the medal table. Perfectly normal behaviour, well if you are Russian and in charge of the drug testing programme. The Kenyan’s may not be at Rio 2016. To date they have been unable to provide the IOC or WADA enough evidence that their drug testing programme is above board, so may be suspended from taking part. According the former Brazilian international footballer Rivaldo, they might have done themselves a favour in getting the suspension. He is not convinced it is a good idea to travel to Rio, saying “don’t travel to Rio, it will be a nightmare.” With FIFA being under investigation for alleged backhanders around Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022 is it any great

surprise that the IOC are also in the dock over their awarding of the 2022 Olympic Games to Tokyo? The answer to that question is obviously no. According to reports there is a suspicious looking £1.3m payment made from the marketing agency representing the IOC to someone it probably shouldn’t have been giving £1.3m to. Need more convincing? The account it was sent from was called “Black Tidings” for which the literal Hindi translation happens to be “Black Money Laundering.” Excellent, very subtle. A round of applause to the person who opened that account.

Finally, American quarterback (that’s the guy who throws the ball miles in American Football) Tom Brady has started selling his own cookbook. If you want to know how to eat like an American sporting hero then it will cost you $200 to find out that he doesn’t eat sugar, has cut down on meat and fruit and vegetables are better for you than processed junk food. Oh, and watch the alcohol consumption too. It is bound by wood though, so money not entirely wasted.

Tales from the top flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

Manchester United’s home match with Bournemouth was postponed following the discovery of a suspect package in one of the stands. No, it wasn’t a first half goal but it was the most exciting thing to happen at Old Trafford this season. Personally, I felt very sorry for all those United fans that had travelled from all over the country to support their side. The match was abandoned on police advice. If only people at United had been capable of taking advice earlier in the season Jose might have led them to the Champions League places. I think they saw City go 1-0 up and thought “stuff it, let’s have the weekend off.” Apparently Bournemouth went straight home, but United kicked off anyway. After 45 minutes it was still 0-0! All jokes aside, the suspect package turned out to be a mobile phone attached to some gas wires and the local bomb squad was called in to carry out a “controlled explosion.” The device was thought to be a forgotten “training device.” To be fair, the bomb squad showed a better ability to control anything than Wayne Rooney has all season. Tottenham fans, a question if I may. How do you feel now the season is over? Fantastic as you finished third, which has to be at least two places higher than expected? Or hanging your heads in shame that Arsenal, for

about the fiftieth season in a row, finished above you in the table? A few weeks ago Spurs followers will have been looking at the fixture list and thought “Newcastle away last game of the season, Leicester are at Chelsea. Tell you what, if we are still in the race on the last day I fancy this.” Newcastle gave Rafa Benitez something extra to think about over the next couple of weeks by taking the opposition apart 5-1. Yes, 5-1! Rafa has a decision to make now, but do not forget he lives in Liverpool and a small club down the road have a vacancy. The way Arsenal’s season has gone it would have been no surprise if they had managed to completely fall apart and not take advantage of Tottenham’s slip. But no, one thing Arsene’s teams are still good at is putting their North London rivals back in their place and they strolled to a 4-0 win over Villa. I would imagine Arsenal fans looked at Villa on the last day when they topped the table around Christmas and thought, “Villa at home last game? If we are still in it...” Then they remembered that they would probably

crumble at some point. Chelsea were the perfect hosts to the new champions, forming a guard

down, were more than happy to be the fall guys as Everton showed they can defend a bit as well as play some nice

of honour as Leicester took to the field. Leicester thought it would be nice to give us the kind of performance that made them champions. No, not racing away and winning against the odds. Going behind, leaving it late and then fighting back with some true champion spirit. England hopeful Danny Drinkwater fired in a late equaliser following a totally disputable Fabregas penalty. The last time Everton won anything Joe Royle was in the dugout. Following the departure of Bobby Martinez, they turned to their former FA Cup winner to provide some last game of the season happiness to the Goodison faithful. Norwich, already

attacking football. The game ended 30 to the home side. West Ham ended their season with a disappointing 2-1 loss at Stoke, meaning that Southampton’s clinical 41 win against Palace was enough to see the Saints grab a Europe League spot at the last. The Hammers will now have to hope that United beat Palace in the FA Cup Final to enter the EL in the qualifying rounds. Liverpool warmed up for their trip to Basel with a 1-1 draw at WBA. The Reds had much bigger things on their mind, understandably. Sunderland probably still had alcohol on their mind but still managed to get a 2-2 draw with Watford, who presumably will be

announcing their new manager sometime soon. So that’s it for the Premier League season folks, and what a season it has been. Who would have thought when we started off on this journey together thirty eight matches ago it would have ended like this? What, wait, Manchester United have to play Bournemouth still? Ok, no doubt that will get a mention when they decide to reschedule. Next week we will look back at the Europa League final, the FA Cup Final and all have a good laugh at Roy when he picks Rashford ahead of

Defoe and Rooney ahead of everyone. That said, by the time you read this you will probably already be chuckling as the Euro 2016 squad is announced on Monday. Being so fine at predictions (Leicester and West Ham to go down you may recall) I am banking on Walcott out, Wilshere in and Andy Carroll politely telling Roy that he would rather head off to Dubai than be on the waiting list. The motley crew will be in action next Sunday against Turkey and I am sure you are all as thrilled as I.

BARCELONA TAKES THE HONOURS – BY JUST ONE POINT In an action-packed weekend, the two contestants for the Primera Liga title took to the field simultaneously, Barça in Granada, and Real Madrid in La Coruña. Barça were ahead by just a single point, Real having made up a lot of ground in

recent weeks. Cristiano Ronaldo gave the ‘whites’ a bit of hope when he netted a neat goal after thirteen minutes, but they were soon dashed, and Luis Suarez’s hattrick set the seal on a fine season for the Uruguayan striker, who ends up with 40 goals, top scorer for the season, five ahead of Ronaldo. The other issue to be resolved was relegation, with Rayo, a point behind Getafe and Sporting,

Las Ramblas There was a very close finish to our first game of the week which was a Team Counter Game. Two teams came home with a total of 90 pts but it was the team of Bryan Neal, Ulrike Barth and new member Peter Wickham together with 'Albert' who took top spot with a better back nine of 53 pts than the team comprising Rod Doel, Brian Dent, Olga Douglas and Terry Field with 47 pts. On Wednesday we played our normal weekly stableford competition and it was Terry Field who cleaned up again taking top spot with 35 pts and he was the only player with a 2 to take the contents of the 2's Club. There was only one Category this week and the top 4 were as follows: 1st Terry Field 35 pts 2nd Rod Doel 33 pts 3rd Dave Pulling 32 pts 4th Annemarie Weisheit 31 pts On Firday it was the Semi-finals of our Singles Match Play competition and going through to the final will be Tom Hardie who scored a 2 & 1 victory over Nick Campbell where he will meet his buggy partner and President Doug Wright who beat Dave Pulling after being 5 down at the turn. The majority of us played a First and Last where all scores counted on holes 1,9,10 1nd 18 with the best 2 of 4 counting on the other holes. The winners with a very good score of 99 pts were Ron Phipps, Brian Townend, Mike Mahoney and 'Albert'. In second place with 94 pts were Terry Field, John Shervell, Mike Chapman and Peter Dunn.

entertaining already relegated Levante, whilst Getafe had to visit Betis and Sporting were at home to Villareal. In the event, the prize fell to Sporting de Gijón, who won 2-1. Although Rayo also won easily, it counted for nothing, their point behind sending them down with Madrid neighbours Getafe The second division, with still four matches to play, now features Leganés, who had a meritorious draw at Gimnástic and Alavés, who won away at Alcorcón, sharing a four point lead over a tight pack of chasing teams – Oviedo, Gimnástic, Osasuna and Zaragoza are all in there with a shout, and even locals Elche cannot be ruled out. In 2B, after the final ‘regular’ games, the first two groups had major upheavals, with Racing de Santander taking over as champions in group 1, after their namesakes from Ferrol had led for practically the whole season. Real Madrid

T.M.G.S. @ La Finca With many of our Scandinavian members leaving for home in the last few weeks our numbers were a little depleted. A pleasant warm and windless day greeted us as we arrived, a welcome change after the rain of the last few days. Unfortunately it wasn’t going to last, as we turned onto the back nine the wind began to blow and the scores began to fall. Dave Lethaby’s 33 pts. proved to be the best score of the day and give him 1st place in the Gold category, Norbert Spaniol came 2nd on lower handicap from Ian Brown both with 31 pts. The Silver category members didn’t score so well and it only took 29 pts. from Sandra Twentyman to take 1st place, Alan our 3 woods just as far off the tee. As most of Cat.1 players chose not play in this but to play a more serious game behind us there were only 2 prizes in this division. Cat.1 (0-15) Arthur Crammon 29 2nd David Gregson 26 Cat 2. (16-24) 1st Robin Richards 31 2nd Ian Stewart 31 3rd Alan Venables 30 Cat.3

EUROGOLF 3 CLUBS AND A PUTTER On Thursday 12th May Eurogolf played a ´fun´ game with 3 clubs and a putter and amazingly the scores weren’t much different to when we play with a bagful of clubs! In fact its fair to say there may be a few drivers for sale on ebay as a lot of us found we hit

Castilla, winning 6-1 in their last game against Roda, pipped Barakaldo similarly in group 2. Groups 3 and 4 remain steady, won respectively by Villareal B and UCAM Murcia. Now for the play-offs! In England, Arsenal stole second place from Spurs, who had ‘a bad day at the office’ and lost to relegated Newcastle, and Manchester City will finish fourth, but the vital fifth place will have to wait upon the rearrangement of Manchester United’s home match after the regrettable bomb-scare incident which caused its postponement. Away from football, the latest Masters tournament gave Andy Murray a chance to demonstrate the fact that Djokovic is, in fact, human – the Scot registering a satisfying win at last. Formula One produced a winner, Vestappen, scarcely old enough to hold a driver’s licence – at eighteen, he’s apparently the youngest ever to win a race. Malcolm Palmer

TUESDAY TOFFS We were pleasantly surprised we got the full 18 on Tuesday without getting wet as at 7.50 the heavens opened for 10 minutes but then it stopped and just stayed grey but warm so conditions were quite good for golf much to the annoyance of one of my playing partners who bought an umbrella from the golf shop before we set out!

PRO-AM BENEFICO MEMORIAL JUSTO QUESADA Y JOSEFINA 2016 – LA MARQUESA GOLF More than €8,157 was raised for local charities at the Pro-Am Benefico Memorial Justo Quesada y Josefina held on Sunday 8th May at La Marquesa Golf, Rojales. Over 100 players participated in the Pro-Am tournament and 3 players paid for the privileged to play around of golf with Miguel Angel Jimenez. Three charities were invited by La Marquesa Golf to the tournament and would benefit from the funds raised. The charities were positioned around the golf course, on the Par 3 holes, to raise awareness for their individual charities. The Par 3’s were allocated: • Hole 5 - DEBRA, The Butterfly Children Charity, • Hole 11 - Servicios Sociales Ayuntamiento de Rojales • Hole 17 - Reach Out Torrevieja. Each charity had the opportunity to introduce their charity to the players and the charities encouraged the players to donate funds by challenging them to see if they could get their Tee shot onto the green. Many players entered into the spirit of the challenge and those who successfully completed this were given a golf cap personally signed by Miguel Angel Jimenez. When Miguel Angel Jimenez reached the 5th hole he donated €50 to the DEBRA charity and the spectators gave him around of applause, they were also encouraged to donate money to the charities. Miguel Angel Jimenez did not disappoint the spectators and of course, with a record of 10 Holes-in-One on the European Tour, successfully hit his ball onto the green. Following the tournament the players and their guests attend a lunch hosted by Pascual Jimenez, Director La Marquesa Golf and the guests of honor were Miguel Angel Jimenez and the Quesada Family. Following the golfing awards presentation cheques were presented to each charity, the charities thanked Pascual Jimenez for inviting

them to the event, everyone who was involved with the tournament and all the players who had taken part and raised funds for their charity. The presentation cheque was accepted on behalf of the DEBRA Charity by Mary Chambers –Manager La Marina Shop, Anne Wylie – Manager Donna Pepa Shop and Maria Jose Valebona Guimera – Volunteer. Following all the presentations Pascual had one further surprise he had received a Ping golf club from Miguel Angel Jimenez which he had used on a couple of tours. Miguel kindly signed the club and the auction began, the auction raised another €2,000 and a round of applause was given to the successful bidder. Pascual informed everyone that these funds would also be divided between the 3 charities. DEBRA, the Butterfly Children Charity would like to thank Pascual Jimenez for inviting them to the Pro-Am Benefico Memorial tournament and his team for all their hard work. Also thanks to Miguel Angel Jimenez and to Ivie Davies for all his hard work on behalf of the charity and to everyone who attended the event and gave so generously.

Ruby’s Golf This months Stapleford Trophy game took place at Vistabella, the greens, having been hollow tined were not perfect but fairly true, and with the weather perfect for golf a lot of players came in with over 30 points, so we all had a great day. We returned to Rayz Bar on El Raso where our hostess looked after us well with a nice buffet and the presentation took place. The results were as follows; Nearest the pins on the difficult par 3's were Roy Stanley, Sonya Paris and Marc Doherty. Best front nine was Buck Taylor, best back was Marc Doherty who also won the longest drive. Gold division winner on count back, was Robert Scott and silver and overall winner was Bill Malcolm. Our next game is at Alicante on the 20th of May which is almost full. For further information on this friendly society contact us on rubysgolf@yahoo.co.uk

CD Montesinos V CD Murada ABBEY ANGLING The 9th and penultimate round of the Spring Series was fished on the Embalsa de Argos on the 10th May. There had been heavy rain the day before and through the night, this put the Barbel down and made the pellet up in the water less effective, hence Doug and Lennie only managing 30kgs on the day. I had my worse days fishing, first a tyre blow-out on arrival and then fell into the lake twice, breaking my pole in two places, what is the saying “you win some and lose some” 1st Lennie Bolton with 30.980kgs fishing the pole and feeder using paste and pellet 2nd Doug Hornblow with 29.380kgs fishing the pellet up in the water 3rd Richard King with 23.000kgs fishing the method feeder using corn. There are still some vacancies available for membership at the club All details are available on our

website www.abbeyangling.com or from me on 965328368 RODS & REELS We also fished the Embalsa de Argos for our 4th round of the Summer Series on the 11th May. Once again the lower numbers did not produce, with the Barbel still reluctant to feed, and the paste not producing until the end of the day. Weights are down on what we expect for the time of year, the wind is still with us keeping the water temperatures down as I found out yesterday, but hopefully this will improve as the weather gets warmer.

Team:- Alex, Dario Perez, Alberto, Mario, O’Rourke, Galindo, Dario Ferrandez, Jose Antonio, Macan, Pley. Sub’s:- Carlos Sanchez, Carlos Lorente, Yeray, Lopez, Wallace. CD Montesinos needed to avoid defeat in order to defend their 4th spot, as their final 2 games are against the 2 teams below them. An early Whit Sunday kick-off, saw Monte start in front of a crowd of over 200, boosted by several members of

the youth teams, who had played that morning. After just 14 minutes our injury jinx struck again with Galindo carried off, and then Monte found themselves 1-0 down, when Alex was beaten from close range. O’Rourke was thwarted by an excellent save when he fired in a rasping shot from just outside the box. Then after 25 minutes Dario Ferrandes smashed in a free-kick that had the goalkeeper well beaten. With half an

hour gone it was end to end, with the best chance falling to O’Rourke who headed over from a good position. However, on 45 minutes a through ball saw Alex save at an opponent’s feet only to see the ball roll to a Murada forward who sent the ball through the legs of a flailing Monte

defender, and scored, sending Monte in, 2-1 down at half time. With smoke billowing around the ground as a start was being made for the B.B.Q, the second half started with both teams chasing more goals. On 55 minutes Alberto was replaced by Carlos, and with Mont getting on top, Wallace came on for Dario Perez. Another very good save by the Murada keeper kept the visitors in front. The next substitution saw Yeray come on, and Monte starting to attack down both flanks. Despite several

crosses, we could not find that final touch. With several half chances missed and the clock ticking, Yeray stabbed yet another cross home to level the scores at 2-2. With 1 game to play a draw next week at Benijofar will see Monte finish fourth. Report Howard Yeats Photo's Terry Harris

TORRY ENDS ITS SEASON WITH A 1 -1 DRAW On Sunday Torry made the long trip to the port of Sagunto, just north of the city of Valencia, to play bottom of the table and already relegated CD Acero in their final game of the season. Torry lay in a comfortable mid-table position. Torry were without the suspended Vicente and Ruben Suarez. The Torry line up: Kike, Luis Carlos, Quintero, Javi Selvas, Martín, Burguillos, Higón, Carrasco, Prieto (Miguel Serna 87’), Chupe (Sánchez 67’) , Lewis. Not Used : Matej. The game kicked off early evening in bright sunshine at the impressive recently redeveloped ground which had seating all round and a big main covered stand which was quite full. There was no real incident in the first 10 minutes as both teams eased themselves into the game. Torry created the first real opportunity just after the 10 minute mark when Higon set up Lewis for a shot from the edge of the box which the keeper kept out at full stretch. After 11 minutes Torry got the breakthrough. Chupe played a

one two with Lewis and released Prieto with a well timed through ball which Prieto took on and tucked home for a GOALLLLL. The game was being played at a slow pace and not much real action until the 30 minute mark when a free-kick for Acero was delivered

into the Torry box and found two Acero players unmarked but fortunately for Torry they got in each other’s way and Kike claimed the loose ball. As halftime approached Torry created two or three half chances with the best one falling to Lewis after good service from Prieto but Lewis failed to get enough on the ball. Acero started the second-

half the better and got their reward in the 53rd minute when Quintero got caught out and the ball was played to the back post and although Javi Selvas blocked the first effort on goal he couldn´t prevent the follow up shot from entering the net for a GOALLLLL to Acero. Soon after Javi Selvas prevented Acero taking the lead with a fine goal-line clearance. There was not too much real excitement after that as the game fizzled out with honours even. The Torry regular keeper Manuel Serna came on up front towards the end for the injured Prieto and we were willing him on to score but it wasn´t to be. Torry manager Pedreno was sent to the stand in the closing minute for something he said to the linesman. A disappointing and difficult season came to a conclusion with Torry finishing a respectable 11th in the table. Time now to try and find desperately needed sponsors for next season to clear the debt and try to recruit a competitive squad. Darrylldinho
