Cycle lanes cause resident road rage ■ MIREILLE TODDINGTON

mireille@costablancapeople.com

R

esidents in La Zenia are furious after cycles lanes were installed outside their houses, obliterating their parking spaces and denying access for the disabled and emergency services – and all without any prior discussion or notification.

The Costa Blanca People has been contacted by several residents living in and around Calle Lapizlazuli in La Zenia who say the move is ludicrous and has created untold problems for those who live on the cycle route. They also claim the route is dangerous for cyclists, pedestrians and motorists alike. The cycle lane runs past Mercadona in La Zenia on the pavement so cyclists will need to weave in and out of walkers and those with wheelchairs, pushchairs and dogs. A little further down, the cycle lane which is marked by metal disks with the image of a bike, veers from the pavement onto

the road – right in front of the car park entrance to a Chinese Supermarket.

From here the lane continues on the road with metal humps dividing the road from the cycle lane. The cycle lane takes over one side of a number of residential streets and has effectively stopped those living there parking in front of their own homes. Many are elderly and having on road parking outside their house was a continued on page 4

BITE SIZE The British Consul NEWS: talks charities Unfinished building transferred

Torrevieja and surrounding areas are peppered with incomplete buildings and unfinished construction sites where work was stopped abruptly due to bankruptcy and the impact of the crisis.

One of these is the structure on Calle Canónigo Torres which was originally planned to be a sea school but the plans never materialised.

The mayor has now asked that it be turned over to the town so that its use can be agreed and built into the 2017 budget. The building shell is currently an eye sore and also occupies a prime spot that could be put to good use. Its value is estimated at €472,772 and it is 490.30 metres square.

Located at the back of the Vista Alegre Exhibition Hall and a few metres from the promenade, its location is its biggest attraction. Although it is fenced off this has not prevented it from becoming a dumping ground for rubbish and the first actions for the town hall will be to tidy it up and bring in pest control.

Summer school open for registration Torrevieja’s summer school is now open for registration. There will be 300 places in July and 163 in August and it will be open to all the children who have been at school in Torrevieja. There will also be 17 places for disabled children Continued on page 4

Suzanne O’Connell The Consul pointed out that the age of many people needing to use these services made learning Spanish difficult. This meant they then needed to hire a translator to request information about important issues. This comes at a cost and can prevent them from taking advantage of these services.

Also brought to the table was the need for greater interaction between the Spanish voluntary associations and the British residents.

Greater involvement in these organisations would increase integration and improve language acquisition.

Earthquake risk evaluation in the Vega Baja Children in schools in Torrevieja not only have fire drills, they have earthquake drills too. Across the year those living in the region will feel the odd tremor which will be reported on forums and occasionally in the news. But how great is the risk to the region?

The Vega Baja, as reported in ‘Información’, is the region most at risk of a major earthquake. This is the conclusion that La Agencia de Seguridad y Respuesta de las Emergencias (Security and Emergency Response Agency) has come to. They have made their findings public after the signing of an agreement with the Valencian Building Institute to evaluate the strength of buildings in the region.

Together the two organisations are expected to carry out an inspection and damage assessment of seismic risk.

Torrevieja is known to experience small earthquakes throughout the year.

These rumblings can be welcomed as the gentle release of energy that may help avoid a major earthquake from taking place. In Valencia seismic activity is mostly located in the Vega Baja and could range on a scale from 7 to 10 if a major earthquake took place.

Earthquakes can register anything from 1 to 12 with 12 begin considered to be total destruction and 6 to 7 when major damage occurs. The most recent earthquake was in Torrevieja and was registered last April but only as a very light tremor.

Evaluation report

A report will be produced to outline the vulnerability of buildings and construction in the Valencian area should an earthquake take place. A group of architects will also be created with particular responsibility to assess the risk and possible damage. The report will note the damage that would occur and make recommendations about the actions that should follow a major quake. It will further review the economic impact of a sizeable earthquake taking place and how aid might be distributed across the population.

The new agreement should bring about a more comprehensive and cohesive method of evaluating data and ensuring that any response to a disaster is proportional. Although this initiative is being coordinated from Valencia it is also up to the municipalities to coordinate their own response.

In 2013 Torrevieja had its own seismic emergency drill during which 500 public safety officers and health care workers took part. The drill was based on the scenario of the quake being 5.5 and causing structural damage to water tanks and other facilities.

Earthquakes in the region 21st March 1829 Major earthquake in Torrevieja, Guardamar and Almoradi killing 386 and injuring 375. The earthquake registered 6.6 and 2,965 houses were destroyed 2008 During this year there were a number of earthquakes in the region

including one of 3.8 in Hondón de los Frailes and 3.5 in Los Montesinos 14th October 2010 Earthquake registering 1.8 with San Miguel as its epicentre 11th May 2011 Earthquake in Lorca of magnitude 5.1 12th January 2012 Earthquake registering 1.7 in Torrevieja, Pilar de la Horadada and Orihuela Costa 26th June 2014 Earthquake registering 2.0 was felt in Pilar de la Horadada, Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja 2nd January 2015 Torrevieja registered an earthquake of 1.6 27th April 2016 Light earthquake in Torrevieja The earthquake in 1829 The level of destruction of the earthquake in 1829 largely came about due to the poor quality of the housing.

Houses had several floors and no foundations and were made of poor quality materials. They were supported by weak wooden beams and situated on narrow streets. Many people were trapped inside their houses as they collapsed.

In Torrevieja, all the houses were knocked down and Guardamar had to be redesigned. However, it was Almoradi that was the most affected area. This event is still marked annually in Almoradi where the Saint San Emigdio (patron saint for earthquakes) is invoked to remember the dead and protect the town from further

Continued from front page key decider in buying their homes.

Others are disabled, use walking sticks or are wheelchair bound and can no longer pull outside their front door causing real issues every time they go out or come home. Even carrying the shopping from the car is now a mammoth task for residents. There are 250 houses and most people have cars, meaning that those living on the cycle lane side of the road are unable to simply park opposite, as this is someone else’s space.

Residents are dreading summer when you can add holiday home owners and tourists into the mix, all with rental cars.

One resident, Julia said: “There was no consultation at all. A crew came in the morning and installed the cycle lane taking away the ability to park outside our houses.

The cycle lane has taken precedence over footpaths, roads and residents. Even our rubbish bins have been moved quite some

distance as they were located in the cycle lane.

“At the bottom of the road there is a sharp bend and as the road wasn’t quite wide enough to accommodate the cycle lane, motorists are now forced to cross the centre line as they come around the bend – it’s an accident waiting to happen. If two cars take the bend at the same time they will collide as the road no longer fits two cars, thanks to the space given the cycle lane.”

To add insult to injury, residents say they have only seen two cyclists since the lane has been installed.

One local resident told how the metal humps, nick-named Armadillos by residents, are a hazard in themselves with people tripping over them or cars not seeing them in the dark.

Solution needed Julia and her neighbours are

currently talking to the Town Hall to see what solutions could be implemented to at least address the parking issue for residents.

Julia was told that her complaint on its own was useless and advised to get more people to complain, which certainly wasn’t a problem as the cycles lane is the talk of the community. Local residents have now drafted a full letter of complaint and are compiling a petition of all residents of all nationalities.

Julia said: “We understand that the Town Hall is not going to remove the cycle lane and so we are suggesting several options that might provide a solution to the parking issue. This could be a priority pass for residents or slanted parking bays that will provide increased spaces.

“What is concerning is the lack of thought or consideration for local residents and the way these decisions affect people’s lives.

Government officials just don’t seem to care about the implications to people’s lives. Did anyone visit the area to see if it was residential and how many people lived here? My husband and I own a business locally, we work and have contributed to the local economy but it seems to count for little.”

destruction.

New building Following the earthquake new building rules were administered which included ground-floor housing only, regular blocks and wide streets. It was recommended that ground floor houses should not be more than 5 metres high.

However, over time, the rules have been relaxed and the growth of the tourist trade has seen vast changes to the height of property built.

Following the earthquake of 1829, the tallest buildings in the affected areas were to be churches. Now, the height of the churches is dwarfed by some of the surrounding buildings. It is to be hoped that the strength and structure of the buildings are sufficient to withstand any future quakes of the size experienced in 1829. The evaluation of buildings in the face of seismic risk could be a very welcome development.

Registration must take place between the 31st May and 14th June for July and for up to the 21st July for places in August, according to availability. The school will take place in CEP Salvador Ruso and CEI Gratiniano Backes as well as in CEIP Acequión.

Activities will be available from 9.00 am until 2.00 pm and will include games, sport and art of a multi-cultural nature. The coordinator of the school said; ‘we will represent the cultural diversity of the town across food, celebration, culture and music. We respect our differences.’

There are hopes to extend the opening time to 3.30pm but this will also depend upon being able to offer a lunchtime service. The cost is €122.97 for the month and €61.48 for a fortnight. There are also possible subsidies for those who are eligible.

There are tight guidelines on supervision at the school with an adult/ child ratio of one monitor to every 10 children up to year six and one monitor for every 12 older children. If you would like to register your child you can find more information in the town hall’s web page: www.torrevieja.es

Initially a boat was requested to retrieve the body but in the end the police were able to bring the body to shore without assistance.

The man was fully clothed and was wearing shoes. He was already dead and had probably died hours earlier. The circumstances of his death are currently being investigated to ascertain whether it was an accident by natural causes or violent. A check of the area has been completed to see if the police could locate any documents or other items belonging to the deceased. Those who come regularly to this part of the beach were asked if anyone could identify him.

The coroner took the body away at around 11.00 am.

Anyone who has been to the municipal dog pound in Torrevieja will acknowledge that it can look a little bleak at times.

However, a new collaboration is helping to address this. On 30th May, the director of AKI in Torrevieja, Loren Boluda, announced the company’s intention of helping the facility brighten up its image and receive more publicity.

There will be a display in the AKI shop in the Habaneras shopping centre of information about the pound along with a box for making donations kept there too. The vice president of the animal protection association of Torrevieja and Guardamar expressed her thanks for this

As well as publicising the cause in their outlet, AKI donated some wooden pallets and paint which are being transformed into tables and benches in a corner of the pound along with shelves for displaying plants to brighten up the area.

This kitten had been in my garden the day before, and ran through a drainpipe to get out to the other side of the wall.” However, Javier explained that instead of coming out through the other side of the wall, the kitten managed to turn further into the continued on page 6

Schoolchildren say thanks!

Regular readers of the Costa Blanca People may remember the story we ran in April about funds for a local school’s trip going missing. Following an appeal and subsequent hard work by parents and children to try and replenish the funds to help the school trip go ahead, we are pleased to reveal that the community really came together and in the end, the children will have their holiday!

A parent of one of the children involved, Dawn Smyth told the Costa Blanca People, “We would really love to publicly thank everyone that made the

event a great success. We managed to raise an outstanding €3670 so the children will have their holiday and other debts due to the funds being taken were paid. I would like to give a special mention to Mrs Joan Metcalf who kindly donated personally €400 and also the Abbey Tavern for not only giving us a venue for our fundraising event in May, but donating €300. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would love it if you could thank everyone involved in your newspaper.”

Concerned for the kitten’s welfare, Javier called the fire brigade who are expert at freeing trapped animals without causing too much distress or further injury. “In the end,” explained Javier, “The firemen arrived at around 11pm and together, we broke a hole in the wall and were able to free the kitten gently after around an hour.”

A neighbour took the kitten in for the night to look after it, but the next day, the kitten’s mother arrived, hopped on to the porch and took her baby home!

Inclusivity at Aquópolis

This year Aquópolis will again join with the town hall to enable disabled people to enjoy the water park. This special day, yet to be announced, is called ‘Los dias azules de ocio inclusivo’.

Those with disabilities are invited to come to the water park at a reduced rate and volunteers are there to provide extra assistance.

The day is organised in conjunction with both the park itself and associations including ALPE and APANEE and the final arrangements are currently being made. Councillor Celdrán Africa is impressed by the commitment of the park management to the scheme. ‘They have always shown a commitment to making the park accessible so that everyone, regardless of their capabilities, is able to take advantage of it.’

The park has gradually been adapting its facilities with platforms and other additions to the attractions and bathing areas to make them accessible.

The final schedule will shortly be released.

Tackling tiger mosquitos in Torrevieja It’s the time of year when mosquitos start to come out and this year the town hall is launching a campaign to address the problem. It is the tiger mosquito that is the particular challenge. The first step this year is to get to the larvae before it turns into a mosquito as this is when the creature is most vulnerable.

One difficulty any town hall has is that the majority (80%) of mosquitos tend to be on private property. Without the collaboration of the owners it becomes almost impossible to deal with. Domingo Pérez is the councillor in charge of pest control. ‘Strategies to control mosquitos revolve around their life cycle linked to water,’ says Councillor Pérez.‘We have to raise awareness and involve the population in addressing the issue of standing water to prevent the adult population increasing. The application of insecticides on the adult mosquito is not an effective way of controlling the pest.’

It is impossible to eradicate mosquitos

but it is possible to control the problem and prevention is key. The tiger mosquito particularly likes small containers of water such as pots, troughs and barrels as theseresemble their traditional habitat of holes in trees. If there is standing water around, it should be changed every three days as it takes mosquitos six days from laying the eggs to them turning into mosquitos.

Awareness campaign Leaflets have been published in both English and Spanish to raise awareness of the issue and involve people in checking that they are not harbouring the pest in standing water on their property. The leaflets also include information about how to avoid and cure bites.

Advice to property and land owners includes: • Empty any outside containers that can collect water twice a week • Empty or cover small ponds with thick mosquito net • Avoid standing water in drainage areas • Avoid holes where water can accumulate The leaflets will be available at medical centres and chemist shops and will also be sent round to areas in which incidents of the mosquito are being detected.

There is an accompanying poster that will be placed in key education and health centres. A webpage has been created on the town hall website www.torrevieja.es/mosquitotigre and social networks will also be used to raise awareness.

The tiger mosquito hasn’t always been a resident of Torrevieja. It made its first

appearance in the summer of 2007 but is now widespread and has joined the common species of mosquito which were previously resident here. The tiger mosquito is distinguishable because of its small black and white striped body. They do not like to lay eggs in moving water or

large areas of water.

Although the tiger mosquito does not carry disease in Torrevieja, it does cause a great deal of discomfort due to the large number of bites that the female can inflict.

Social security fraud arrests Twenty people have been detained for defrauding Social Security in the second part of a police operation. On this occasion, 21 new businesses have been investigated and the arrests have been carried out in the provinces of Granada, Málaga and Ibiza.

The National Police in collaboration with the Social Security Work Inspection, has detained a total of 37 people and placed under investigation a further 31, in Córdoba, Granada, Málaga and Ibiza in an operation which started in 2014 after a defrauding business framework had been created to abuse Social Security.

Documents such as wage slips, work contracts, authorisations, diverse tributary and fiscal documentation and the amount defrauded was more than 120,000 euros.

According to a press release National Police officers detained 20 people for their supposed participation in a spider’s web of another 21 new companies, with a relationship to the first investigation from 2015.

These companies were presumably created to enable false work contracts to be given to foreign citizens to regularise

their administrative situation in Spain and provide them with legal documentation. These frauds also established countable work days to fraudulently claim public subsidies and benefits.

The operation started in the middle of 2014 after the detection in Córdoba of a marriage of convenience formed by a Nigerian man and Spanish woman, papers showed the man worked in a fictitious company dedicated to hostelry and paperwork was used to receive social aid.

After diverse investigations, the officers identified the head of the organisation, who used his legal position as a business manager, and authorised several companies to give jobs to Spanish and foreign people, using false work contracts in order for the foreigners to obtain residency and for the Spanish to defraud public aid and benefits.

Once the detectives found solid facts on the leader who was coordinating this network of fraudulent companies and monitored the sale of contracts to third parties, they brought an end to the first part of the operation. This resulted in the detention of 17 people, 16 in

Granada province and one in Córdoba. During the searches of the investigated companies they found wage slips, work contracts, tributary, fiscal and financial documentation, seals and storage devices.

This new second phase of the investigation was made possible after a meticulous study of the impounded documents from the first phase, and uncovering another 21 fictitious companies, constituted in the same way.

The new evidence netted another 20 people and eleven others are under investigation, some workers signed up to the fictitious companies and several foreign people.

The total fraud of 120,000 euros has been uncovered by the combined security forces: Group II of the Córdoba Brigade for Frontiers and Foreigners, with Group 1 of their counterparts in Granada, in collaboration with the Foreigners Offices in Córdoba and Granada and the General Treasuries of Social Security and the Provincial work inspectors in both cities.

Further investigations may follow once the paper trail has been fully analysed.

Best ever Walk for Life Sunday saw hundreds of local residents descend on Playa Flamenca sea front to take part in what is being heralded as the biggest ever ‘Walk for Life’. This event, the seventh in its history, is organised every year by Maria and the Pink Ladies to raise money for Spanish anti-cancer charity Asociacion Espanola Contra el Cancer (AECC).

Although far too early for official registration figures or monies raised, organisers believe there were more than 500 people who put their best foot forward for this excellent cause – making it the biggest and best ever. Since its inception, the walk has raised more than 73,000 euros for the anti-cancer charity and it is hoped that this year’s event will add another 20,000 euros to that amazing total – beating last year’s 13,000 euros total.

The event took place on Sunday (5th June) from the Promenade in Playa Flamenca and covered a 5k circuitous route for a 5 euro

registration fee. As always, those taking part joined in the spirit of the event bringing dogs, pets, prams, wheelchairs and pushchairs and dressing up in anything pink.

There were men in pink frilly frocks and pets in feather boas as well as a sea of bling, fluff, fur and feathers as the hundreds of walkers set off at 10.30am.

The walk was followed by a great family fun day with local performers appearing on the day and all giving their time for free.

This included: Dan Davy, Richie Alexander, David John (Rod Stewart tribute), Abba Girls, Gemma Bennett, Johnny Lea, Samantha Curtis, Rebecca Holt, Kylie, Nikki G, Suzi G and Janelle.

Sunshine FM provided the sound system and Stevie Spit was

compere.

There were market stalls to browse, tombola, games, bars, a hog roast, giant paella and fast food.

Evolution Bar, La Fuente provided water for the walkers and each was given a t-shirt from Pilar TV. Orihuela Costa Town Hall supported the event by arranging the stage, tables, chairs, electricity, first aid and police supervision.

Coastline clean-up The weekend saw a group of soldiers belonging to the command of Special Operations Military Detachment (MOE) of Cabo Roig launch a clean-up attack on the coastline of the Orihuela Costa.

The unit focussed on the coastline, cliffs and seabed, through the use of its own sailing and diving equipment. Members of the MOE team were divided into different groups in order to perform a variety of tasks by Major David Vicente Vives, who coordinated the clean alongside the staff of the municipal brigade who have been targeting the coast all week.

Both the Councillor for Beaches, Sofia Alvarez, as the collaborating councilor in this area and Luisa Boneh, have overseen the various actions undertaken during the week and appreciated the involvement of the military to

contribute “to improving the state of our beaches to look their best, while contributing to the care of our marine environment. “ Mireille Toddington

US travellers warned of European terror attacks The US State Department has issued a travel alert warning its citizens about “the risk of potential terrorist attacks throughout Europe, targeting major events, tourist sites, restaurants, commercial centers and transportation.”

“The large number of tourists visiting Europe in the summer months will present greater targets for terrorists planning attacks in public locations, especially at large events,” says the official note.

Washington authorities specifically mention the European Soccer Championship being hosted by France from 10 June to 10 July, as well as the Tour de France, between 2 July and 24 July.

The alert also mentions the Catholic Church’s World Youth Day event in Krakow, Poland, which is expected to draw up to 2.5 million visitors between 26 - 3 July.

While the US State Department does not specifically mention Spain, the country has been on a level four alert for months, acknowledging that there is a high risk of a terrorist attack.

Over 18 million tourists visited Spain in the first four months of 2016 alone, representing a 13 percent rise from the same period last year.

The country broke a record for international tourist arrivals last year with over 68 million visitors, of which 1.5 million came from the United States, according to the National Statistics Institute.

New music school for the coast A concert for the opening of the Music School in Orihuela Costa is being organised by the Asociación Internacional de Jóvenes, Adultos y Mayores de Tercera Edad “Despertar” de Orihuela Costa (AIDOC) – and all local residents are welcome.

This ambitious AIDOC project is being made possible thanks to the collaboration of Union Musical Torrevejense. The aim of the concert is to present the fruits of the musical education aimed at children and youngsters, students of primary and secondary schools in the local area. The music school is offering an educational approach to musical culture, learning music theory, musical

instruments, choir and musical instruction for children.

The event will take a place on Friday 10th June at 8.00pm in the Ecumenical Centre, Calle Diamante, 7 in Orihuela Costa. The audience will enjoy a variety of music performed by the Union Musical Torrevejense Chamber Orchestra, Voice Quartet – Cantus Colorus, children choir Cantus Colorus Kids, Musical Group IES Playa Flamenca, children choir from the Parish of Risen Christ.

During the performance, organisers will give information about the Music School’s education system and subscriptions. The School will offer a full programme of activities from the month of July and take advantage of the summer time when children are free from school.

The entry to the concert is free and the Association AIDOC sees music as a tool of integration for the multinational society of Orihuela Costa and is keen to encourage people of all nationalities to attend the concert as well as the families and young people interested in the school. It is hoped that all those with passion for music will form part of this new project.

Seagate Wealth Management

Managing your money: How do I find a local IFA to help with my finances and what value can they add?

Y

ou may be perfectly comfortable planning your investments, but there are times when you may need professional guidance when there is a big financial decision.

Without help from someone else, there is no guarantee that you'll end up with the best choice for you when it comes to finding the right investment or planning your retirement.

What does an Independent Financial Adviser, IFA, do?

An IFA will check your entire financial situation, suggest a suitable financial strategy and then comb the entire market for the best financial products available to fit your needs.

You will have to fill in some forms and be asked a lot of questions about what you want, your existing investments, and your attitude to risk. Only with that sort of information - called a factfind - can an adviser get a full picture of you.

Not all advisers are independent.

What is the value of advice?

An IFA can help with sorting out your pension and give investment advice on buying funds, regular savings schemes or just managing your cash efficiently.

This is useful if you are not confident making your own financial decisions and need support of a professional, or if you simply don't have time to do it yourself.

Setting up and monitoring an investment portfolio can be time consuming and difficult if you do not know much about the financial markets as you need to weigh up the risks and make sure you are getting the balance right in where your money is going.

You also need to have the time and discipline to keep an eye on your portfolio to make sure it is heading in the right direction.

Even if you feel you can manage all of the above, there may be occasions when an adviser is needed, such as handling the complicated tax issues around a big inheritance, or helping you understand what do when converting your pension into retirement income.

Give me a call on 965 704 338 to book a free no-obligation appointment in our Benijofar office. Alternatively, send an email to: Contact@SeagateWealth.es

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE The single currency regained ground on sterling this week thanks to some rare pro-Brexit sentiment in the UK, but felt the weight of interest rate announcements in the US. Last Friday the Federal Reserve chairperson, Janet Yellen, made a longawaited pubic appearance. Investors were eager to hear whether she would endorse the comments made by her colleagues over the previous couple of weeks, pointing to higher interest rates in June or July. She sort of did, confirming that "probably in the coming months such a move would be appropriate". It was not warning that investors should gird their loins for a rate hike this month but Ms Yellen certainly did not rule out the possibility and her remarks were broadly positive for the dollar.

A previously bullish pound started Tuesday on the back foot, after the latest Daily Telegraph opinion poll revealed the Leave campaign had begun to chip away at the lead gained by their Remain rivals during a recent purple patch. It was put to flight later in the day by another poll, this time in The Guardian, that put the Brexiteers four points ahead of the Bremain camp with a 48%-52% split. A somewhat surprising development given the contrasting outcome of recent polls, the result dented the casual confidence of investors who had come to believe a vote to remain within the EU was a forgone conclusion. Consequently it led

investors, who despise uncertainty, to stay away from the pound, which lost around 2% in value against a basket of the most actively traded currencies this week.

Even better than expected UK services PMI data released earlier today – up on the previous month – could do little to wake the pound from its reality check. Under normal circumstances news that manufacturing and construction PMIs – released on Wednesday and Thursday respectively – were largely in line with expectation would have a positive impact on the pound, or prevent a further downtrend at the very least. However, in the current EU referendum focused climate it is clear that Tuesday’s opinion poll is still the limiting factor.

At its (roughly) six-weekly Governing Council meeting on Thursday the European Central Bank made no alteration to monetary policy, other than to say it will now include corporate bonds in its asset purchase programme and to remind investors that interest rates will remain low for a long time.

Investors were disappointed that the bank was not more upbeat about its outlook for the Euroland economy and the euro fell after the ECB president's press conference.

Even so, it was down on the week by only a third of a cent against the US dollar and it gained two cents against sterling, which was weaker on average by -1.

Quesada Boulevard There is something very different about shopping in Quesada these days following the creation and opening of Quesada Boulevard, a stylish new shopping precinct offering a wide range of shops, products, services and café bars.

The shopping mall has been developed by local property experts Immosol which hosted an official open day event last week, attended by senior managers, investors and local residents. The event was well attended by the local community who have been following the development closely and waiting for the much-needed facility to open.

With 62 dedicated parking spaces it is hoped that the Boulevard will also attract shoppers from the surrounding areas as well as Quesada.

Hundreds flocked to the event to browse shops selling everything from sunglasses, clothes and shoes to garden furniture. There is even a monetary exchange bureau, courtesy of Euro Change. And of course visitors were keen to sample some of that renowned Spanish hospitality and weren’t disappointed with a selection of tapas and light bites. The first floor of the Boulevard houses a chic terrace bar and restaurant, complete with comfy seating and great views of the town and is the crowning glory of Quesada Boulevard. There is no doubt this mall will soon become the heart of the community, where people come to shop, meet and eat.

Immosol is a leading property

company specialising in new, resale and rental properties in the Southern Costa Blanca. In addition to Quesada Boulevard the company has recently developed 31 villas in Cabo Roig and luxury apartments in Alicante and La Mata.

Since its inception in 1997 the company has built an exceallent reputation based on price and customer service and is wellknown for its professionalism, unique attention to detail and transparency.

Senior Manager Claudio Bueno said: “Quesada Boulevard was built specifically to meet the needs of the community and we are delighted with how it has been received by residents. Immosol is dedicated to enhancing people’s lifestyles through quality homes and local facilities.”

Quesada Boulevard can be found half-way down the town’s main street, Avenida de Las Naciones, opposite the Don Carlos.

Back to flowering plants this week as we are over half way through June and it is now hot!

CENTRANTHUS RUBER

GAURA LINDHEIMERI

(valerian, red valerian, Jupiter’s beard, spur valerian) This is a native of the Mediterranean region although it has been introduced into many other parts of the world.

This is a loosely branched perennial with a woody base. The leaves are oval to lance-shaped and roughly 5-8cm in length.

The plant has clusters of small flowers at the ends of the branches and flowers profusely. Although the flowers are small individually, as they grow into inflorescences this really shows their splendour. Their aroma isn’t that nice and rather strong but the insects like them, including bees and butterflies who pollinate them! The flowers come generally in a purplish red colour but they also have white and lavender coloured ones too. They flower from May-June and again in September, but less so in autumn.

They can self seed as their seeds are similar to dandelions with tufts on them so can travel with the wind. I have seen them on the sides of the roads many a time.

It is an edible plant with the leaves being used in a salad or lightly boiled and the roots bolied in soups.

This is a drought tolerant plant.

(Lindheimer’s Beeblossom, White Gaura, Pink Gaura, Lindheimer’s Clockweed, Indian Feather) This is a perennial herbaceous plant which has dark green oval leaves above which the flowers hang on long stems that arch over. It originates from the southern states mainly Texas and Louisiana and is relatively short-lived..

It grows from 50150cm tall and has underground rhizomes that produce densely clustered stems.

The leaves have fine hairs on them are lanceolate, roughly 1-9cm long and 1-13mm broad with a coarsely toothed amrgin.

The flowers are pink or white, 2-3 cm in diameter with four petals 10-15mm long. They have long hairlike stamens and are produced from the beginning of spring until the first frost, although really the best months of flowering are June right through to October.

This also is a drought tolerant plant as it thrives in the hot sun!

Therefore if you have a dry garden this is an ideal plant for such an area. It is a pretty plant and will cheer up any dry beds by flowering continuously without having to be tended to or watered, so

very easy to grow. All that needs to be done is when it is over it’s flowering period-so early winter-just trim it back so that it will be ready to flower once again in the late spring/early summer.

This is also a plant that self-seeds as the one above (Centranthus rubber). If you want to plant the seeds yourself

to ensure growth then you can do this with cuttings also and doing so in the late summer is probably the best time of sowing the seeds, then you can plant them out in October.

A case of very serious ‘air relish’ A

ir rage - defined as disruptive or violent behaviour on an aircraft during a flight, is on the increase. Experts who study the behaviour of passengers believe that the events of 9/11 may have contributed to the greater numbers of unwelcome disturbances in the air.

Apparently additional security procedures, coupled with the stress involved in air travel, ignites the slow burner under the air rage condition which breaks out later on the flight.

Personally I believe that alcohol and drugs are the number one reason for aberrant behaviour on board. Air rage incidents may very well be on the increase, but it is nothing new just the same. The first recorded case of air rage goes back to 1947 on a flight from Havana to Miami, when a drunken man threw a few punches at a fellow passenger and bit a flight attendant.

In the midst of all these scary reports of disturbances in the confined area of an airline cabin, I am going to tell you about how flying had the exact opposite effect on a passenger from a recent Ryanair flight I was on.

I was flying from Alicante to Dublin.

My seat was to the back of the plane, so

I joined the line entering the aircraft through the rear staircase. In front of me was a daddy carrying a toddler aged about two years. The man and his

But now as the man reached the top of the stairs and went to enter the aircraft, a problem ensued which not only affected the man with bag in his

daughter had been directly in front of me from the commencement of queuing, so I could not help but observe the pair. The thought did occur to me as to how accomplished this young father was with his child.

And as for the beautiful blue-eyed baby, she kept looking around all the time, taking everything in intelligently and obviously relishing the experience of getting aboard this great big aeroplane.

hand and a child in arms, but had a follow on effect to those of us coming behind. The guy couldn’t find his boarding pass and being so heavily loaded, he was now blocking the entrance. He was very restricted in his attempts to awkwardly search his pockets, so the first thing he did was to place his bag down on the floor. Then the young Spanish flight attendant offered to hold the child while the man continued searching his person for the

boarding card. Remember here that no race of people on earth loves children more than the Spaniards – everyone knows this. Well, the lovely young cabin crew member was the most extraordinary example of this affinity with children. She laughed, cajoled, hugged and cooed the little girl until the guy finally found his boarding pass.

It was then the fun started! The child was enjoying all of this too much and refused, point-blank, to be returned to her father! And I have already told you that I could not help but notice how good a dad he was on the way in. But the little girl was having none of it. This was much more fun … as she clung for dear life to her new best friend! Daddy tried to coax and disentangle his daughter from the air hostess. It didn’t work! Two little arms went around the neck of the flight attendant and the little girl snuggled in for the long haul!

Imma was the name of that Ryanair crew member and she was truly amazing. She advised the astonished and bewildered father to go and sit in his seat. Now she checked in the remaining passengers with one hand – as if it was the most natural thing in

the world to be holding a child in the other. She never missed a beat, greeting every passenger with a big smile and getting on with doing her job extremely well. I thought at first that she must have known the toddler – or more to the point, that the child knew her. ‘No, not at … just a passenger’, Imma told me later. ‘But I do hope to have one of my own someday,’ she added.

As soon as all the passengers were seated and the aisle had cleared, Imma moved smartly down the aircraft and gently returned the young girl to her rightful owner. The two friends acknowledged each other anytime the crew member passed down the aisle. But that didn’t last too long, because the next thing I saw was the air-relished passenger fast asleep with her blonde curls resting on her daddy’s shoulder.

ANGELS NUMBERS As a child I was frightened of numbers! I missed a lot of schooling when I was very little due to having chicken pox and then straight afterwards; I started with bad asthma attacks.

Consequently, I missed the crucial basic stages of mathematics. When I went back to school after my illness I struggled to keep up with the rest of the class as my teacher wouldn't go over what I had missed.

As I got older, I found a sense of humour was the best way to deal with this as I counted on my fingers at work, or tried to add up what I was spending in a shop. However, I felt embarrassed inside and used to watch in wonder as friends and relatives added up 'inside their head' and always got their sums right. So, imagine my surprise when I woke up one day with a big number 9 in my head. The image wouldn't go away, until the penny dropped that my angels wanted me to look up the number and I haven't looked back ever since. It was a way that the angels could communicate messages to me with such profound and accurate information, and it blew my mind. Yes it did seems strange to me at first, that the angels would give me numbers as a sign that they have heard my prayers, but it happens so regularly now that numbers are a huge part of my life. When I give a clairvoyant readings numbers and dates often pop up and it never ceases to amaze me how accurate the meaning behind those numbers are....

If you have been seeing numbers everywhere, whether single numbers or sequences, know that your angel is giving you a

sign and yes, they want you to look up the meaning of the number which will give you the vibrational meanings of each number as well as the meaning of number sequences or groups. As a Medium, I receive my numbers telepathically, but these can be given in a number of ways (pardon the pun!) but will often be repetitive, until you notice that seeing those numbers is a sign from your angel. Examples of how these are given could be the time on a clock - for example 11.11, they may appear on license plates, or even be something tangible such as being given the same change, over and over, in a shop. You may be taking part in a game and roll the same number on the dice. If you do, be sure to look up the meaning of the number you are being given!

I had to laugh to myself when writing this, because it's so funny that the angels will often give you something that you have avoided in your life, (like me, and numbers!) - but it is given with love, to give you courage and strength as well as the belief that you can do anything you put your mind to, and for me, numbers is just one of the things I have always struggled with until now.

One of my 'essential books' on my Kindle is Doreen Virtue's Angel Numbers 101 which is a fabulous reference to number sequences and

their divine meaning.

In this article I won't have time to write the meaning behind every single number, but what I can do is give you examples of the most popular numbers that people see, 1 to 14, & 11.11 as taken from my 'angel number post on face book'.

1. The angels are asking you to only think positive thoughts in order to bring your desires to fruition 2. Means that everything is fine, you are where you are meant to be on your life path and to ask for the angels help if you need confirmation 3. Here is where the Ascended Masters step in to help - go with how you feel, and if you smell certain aroma's as this will determine which of the Ascended Masters are working with you.

4. Is reassurance that the angels have heard your prayers and will be helping you in divine timing 5. Change for the better is imminent and it is important to move through the winds of change without resistance 6. Please don't worry about material items including money as this will lower the effectiveness of your prayers and may create obstacles on your life path 7. Number 7 is my favourite number, we used to live at number 7 and it tends to be my lucky number, too! It means that you are on the right path, and the outcome will exceed your expectations. Divine magic is supporting you and opening doors of opportunity.

8. Meaning abundance and prosperity - the endless loops in this number signify an infinite flow of money, time, ideas etc.

9. You are a light worker, and the angels are asking you to get to work, now! You have completed all the prerequisites to achieve your

life purpose. Don't procrastinate as it is time now to take action steps along your spiritual path.

10. Hold positive thoughts about this situation as everything is working out for your highest good. Call upon the angels to help you to stay optimistic as your thoughts are an influencing factor in the outcome.

11. Number 11 is the Karmic Master number symbolising spiritual awakening and enlightenment. You are being asked to stay positive so to connect to your higher self and focus only on the good within yourself and others. Number 11 can also be a prompt to pay special attention to your thoughts and ideas especially when those thoughts materialise rapidly.

12. A strong message to only think positive thoughts because what you are thinking could influence your future. Keep your faith and hope strong and you won't go far wrong.

13. Many people steer clear of this number thinking it means bad luck and yet the meaning in numerology terms means cleansing and purifying. The Ascended Masters are helping you to maintain a positive outlook.

14. This is a message from the angels to keep repeating positive affirmations and to maintain your determination to do well in order to manifest your goals and aspirations.

11.11 Your angels want your attention!! It could be that they have been giving you many celestial signs on your life path and you haven't noticed them, so they will show you 11.11. In ways such as every time you glance at the clock that is the time you see. It helps you to sit up and take notice. It is said to be the number between the realms and indicates spiritual awakening.

Brit arrested for girlfriends murder

A Briton has been detained as the main suspect for throwing his partner from the twelfth floor of a Tenerife apart-hotel. The security cameras recorded the man hitting and kicking his partner in the apartment.

The Guardia Civil is investigating the death of a 25 year old British woman identified by the initials K.A.R. mother of a five year old daughter, who died in the early hours of Friday morning. The victim is believed to have been thrown to her death from the 12th floor of the Paraiso del Sur apartments, in Avenida 300 in Adeje, by her partner, a 33 year-old British man, identified by the initials D.P.J. He has been detained and accused of the crime of murder according to La Opiniรณn de Tenerife which quotes sources close to the case.

The tragedy happened around 2am when the couple, who were

apparently on holiday on the island, arrived back at their accommodation with their five year old daughter. Also with them were the father of the accused and his female friend. Around 2.20am the couple started to argue and the sound of a large impact was heard.

The father and his companion went to look for a security guard who discovered the dead body of a woman was lying on the ground with multiple injuries, later identified as multiple fractures in her fibula, hip, arm and head. The security guard called the Central Coordinator of Emergencies on 112, and the Canarias Government, who mobilised the Canary Emergency Service, the Adeje Local Police and Guardia Civil.

The first medics to arrive on the scene took the victims pulse and certified her dead at the scene.

The Guardia Civil sent several pairs of officers from Adeje and Playa Las Americas, and its Criminology team. It also called for forensics from the Instruction Court 2 in Arona. The body was removed after 7.00am and taken to the Forensic Anatomy Institute in La Laguna in order for an autopsy to confirm the causes of the death.

The Guardia Civil interrogated the three Britons. The victim and her partner were staying in room 1,209 and the father of the partner and his female friend were in room 1,206. Officers proceeded to arrest the partner of the young woman, after viewing footage from the security cameras. The couple appear to arrive back drunk and are seen minutes before they entered their room where the victim was beaten, kicked and insulted. Minutes before the tragic event, the man left his room to visit his father, returning to room 1,209 two minutes before the fatal fall. The officers took the suspect to the Guardia Civil Barracks at Las Americas.

Several sources claim that the woman was supposedly thrown over the railings intentionally by her partner, and claim that the possibility that the deceased committed suicide is minimal.

Brexit will affect expats Mariano Rajoy has warned that UK citizens would face EU restrictions after Brexit. The Spanish Prime Minister has warned that UK citizens would no longer have free movement across Europe if Britain quits the European Union. This is something that expats have been increasingly worried about as the referendum draws closer.

He said they would also lose the automatic right to ‘work and do business’ in the block's other 27 member states if the vote leads to Brexit. His comments came after Vote Leave heavyweights Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Priti Patel vowed to introduce a points-based immigration system if voters opt to give up Britain's EU membership on 23rd June.

Under the new regime, migrants would need to prove they can fill skills shortages in the UK jobs market before being granted the right to enter the country.

However, speaking to the Spanish national press agency EFE, Mr Rajoy painted a grim picture of life outside the EU for Brits wanted to live and work outside the country.

He said: “I have no doubt whatsoever, as I have

repeatedly stated, that it would be very negative if the United Kingdom left the European Union - negative for everybody, for the United Kingdom, for Spain, and for the European Union.

“But, above all, it would be very negative for British citizens: the European Union is based, ever since its foundation, on the principles of

freedom of movement of people, goods, services, and capital. Leaving the European Union would mean that British citizens would lose their right to move freely, work and do business within the largest economic area, the largest market in the world.

“More than 100,000 Spanish citizens work and live in the United Kingdom. Over 400,000 British citizens work and live in Spain. If the United Kingdom

The annual campaign to control insects and rodents at the beginning of summer is underway, especially in Orihuela Costa, announced Councillor

Noelia Grao. As part of the initiative, sewers and public buildings are being fumigated across the Costa.

The company Lokimica is fumigating sewers, public buildings and schools to reduce the population and possible spread of rats and cockroaches – especially the flying and American Red species.

While this preventative measure is applied in the months of January, April, July and October in the city and villages, on the coast it is usually done just before summer starts when the population starts to increase with the

arrival of tourists and holiday home owners. The company lifts up the manholes to the sewers and first applies an insecticide and then a raticide.

The Town Hall’s Línea Verde or Green Line - www.lineaverdeorihuela.com and Health Department - Concejalia de

Sanidad - 96 530 59 83 - can be contacted to report any plague of insects but the council cannot act in private homes, gardens or areas, although it can offer advice about what to do.

The councillor said it is most important that people collaborate by keeping their homes and land in a good, clean condition and do not drop rubbish in the street.

Problems with whitefly and tiger mosquitoes are the responsibility of the Environment Department, rather than the Health Department.

initiative

Orihuela has become the first municipality in the Province of Alicante to establish a Bureau for Victims of Hate Crimes. The Councillor for Social Welfare, Sabina Galindo, discussed recently the outcomes of the first Board held last week and explained the reasons behind its inception.

She said: “The Board has been established because of our commitment, one made by the town hall and the government team in defence of individual rights and freedoms.”

The Poet building of the people hosted the meeting which brought together representatives of a number of social groups such as the Red Cross, Caritas Orihuela, ADIEM, Orihuela No Barrera, Diversitat, Vega Baja Welcomes, Gitano Secretariat of Alicante Foundation, University of Alicante and Adis. It was also attended by heads of the relevant municipal services such as Welfare, Citizen Participation, Immigration, Youth, Local Police, Equality and Education.

Councillor Galindo also said that “Orihuela is the first municipality in the province of Alicante to convene a roundtable based on these characteristics”, a fact that has been recognised by the participating groups

such as the University of Alicante.

Moreover, the councillor for Social Welfare explained that among the agreements reached at the first meeting included the creation of a regulation operating table, the development of protocols for crimes involving the joint work of associations

and the consistory and the mediumterm the creation of a municipal service: ‘Care for Victims of Hate Crimes’.

Sabina Galindo also recalled that according to the Ministry of Interior in 2015 there were 1,328 hate crimes, which occurred in Spain, of which 123 took place in Valencia and 39 in the province of Alicante. Figures to which “a response of public institutions is necessary and we consider it this is the first step to prevent possible cases and to address existing ones”.

left the European Union, it would be very negative for everyone and from every perspective.”

The question mark over exactly how expats living in Spain would be affected looms larger each day. Although changes would take time, there is now no

doubt that expats would need to apply for new paperwork in order to remain, and depending on the new criteria some may be told they can no longer live or work in Spain – irrespective of whether they own property or not.

Pensioners may have to prove the ability to be financially selfsufficient.

Meanwhile, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte O’Day told the BBC that a Brexit followed by the introduction of a pointsbased immigration system would trigger “an inevitable, unavoidable race to the bottom” among the other EU countries.

Statement on return of postal votes for overseas voters at the EU Referendum Postal votes being returned by overseas voters for the EU Referendum use the International Business Reply Service (IBRS). This service is commonly used for international mail and does not require any additional postage to be affixed. We are aware that a very small number of voters may have been incorrectly informed that the postal service in a handful of locations in Europe cannot accept IBRS items.

Royal Mail has confirmed that IBRS is accepted across all international posts. It is working closely with postal operators to ensure acceptance of postal votes.

Voters are advised that once a ballot is in the postal system (i.e. if it has been posted into a post box) it will be processed.

Overseas voters should not delay in returning their ballot pack to the UK in order for it to arrive by close of polls at 10pm, 23 June.

Jimmy Cricket comes to the Coast Comedy legend Jimmy Cricket came to the coast recently for a three night tour booked hot on the heels of his overwhelming popularity at Benidorm Palace at the end of last year. The tour included The Emerald Isle, La Florida.

Wednesday saw the Irish comedian take to the stage at the Emerald Isle in La Florida.

The evening was a sell out and the audience were in for a real treat with local performer Stevie Spit providing the warm up to the main act. Stevie was on good form, bantering with the audience and singing a few crowd pleasers to get everyone relaxed and in the mood for a great night.

Jimmy came on stage to thunderous applause and did a good 90-minutes of hilarious stand-up comedy that had everyone laughing. The lines and jokes just flowed and at 70 years of age the audience were amazed that he remembered every line and had the energy to not only be constantly on the move, but throw in a few dance routines and juggling to boot.

The evening was littered with letters from and phone calls to his ‘Mammy’ and many times the audience were asked to ‘Come here’ and told ‘…And

there’s more’. Throughout the hour-an-a-half performance there was not one swear word from him – a true traditional comedian of the old school that still has audiences eating out of his hand.

Jimmy Cricket (born James Mulgrew, 17 October 1945, Cookstown, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland) is an Irish comedian. He currently lives with his family in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.

Jimmy honed his skills working at Butlins and Pontins Holidiay camps through the mid-1960’s and early 1970’s. He was given his own television series on a show called And There's More (named after his best-known catchphrase), produced by Central Television (also notable for including the first TV appearance by Rory Bremner). He also had his own radio series for BBC Radio 2 called Jimmy's Cricket Team, written by Eddie Braben and starring Peter Goodwright, Bill Pertwee and Noreen Kershaw.

He featured in The Krankies Klub alongside The Krankies and Bobby Davro. He also appeared in numerous Royal Variety Shows.

Jimmy was the subject of This Is Your Life in 1987 when he was

surprised by Eamonn Andrews in central London - the last edition that Andrews presented.

Cricket was one of a number of veteran performers to appear in the video for the 2007 Comic Relief single, a cover of The Proclaimers' song "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by Matt Lucas and Peter Kay. The staff at The Emerald Isle never stopped, making sure that the meals were served promptly and everyone had drinks. The food was delicious, a choice between a chicken or beef roast dinner and for 5 euros was great value as well as great tasting and everyone cleared their plates. This was a night out with a difference and a huge success, hopefully the first of many comedy nights here on the coast.

Water saving for Orihuela

Orihuela is to save more than 20 million litres of water per year through the irrigation of green areas with rainwater.

The Councillor for the Environment, Miguel Angel Fernandez and the Manager of Hidraqua, Juan Jose Alonso, recently visited the different municipal facilities that have been using rainwater for irrigation which has allowed the municipality to save more than 20 million litres per year, thanks to the system that has been installed in the green areas of the borough.

The Hidraqua manager explained

Recycling campaign success

T

he people of Orihuela have collected 4,000 kilos of glass in a week for recycling campaign aimed at supporting cancer charities.

The Councillor for street cleaning and waste disposal Noelia Grao, and Roberto Fuentes, Area Manager of Ecovidrio, have handed over the money raised during the recycling campaign, which lasted seven days.

The Councillor said: “They have collected 4,000 kilos, so that we can make donations to the More Life Association and Maria's and the Pink Ladies 2,000 euros each to help with their daily work with people with cancer. Orihuela shows once again its solidarity and commitment to the environment by actively participating in this campaign.”

The terms of the campaign were that for every kilo of recycled glass collected, one euro would be donated to cancer prevention and research.

Meanwhile, sources said that after the success of the initiative the two pink containers in the city and the two in

Orihuela Costa will remain in place, to “remember this campaign and for the people to be able to continue their habit of recycling”.

Representatives of the More Life Association and Maria's and the Pink Ladies thanked the City Council and Ecovidrio for its collaboration with this joint initiative. Both groups have been

actively involved in encouraging people to use the bins.

Councillor Grao also said that the Department of street cleaning and Urban Waste Disposal will continue to promote “care of the environment with campaigns like this in which we can also work with a good cause”.

Mireille Toddington

that “this initiative was born following a study on the various possibilities that existed in the municipality to have alternative resources.” Therefore, “we believe it is the best choice from a technical point of view and is economically feasible with the use of rainwater and the existing water table in the basement," added Councillor Fernandez.

In addition, the City has a pumping station and collectors of 1,200 mm in diameter with a chest to store rainwater, which is effective for reuse,

since “the flows are collected in the pumping station and undergo pretreatment to disinfect the water” explained Alonso, who added that “in this way we get the necessary quality required for use irrigation of urban green areas, parks, and sports fields.”

Since 2015 a circulator truck was being used for cleaning the sewerage network that used a one cubic meter drinking water tank, this is an additional savings of 2,000 cubic meters of water drinking a year.

Model jailed for killing British ex-boyfriend Slovakian model Mayka Kukucova has been jailed for 15 years for murdering her British businessman ex-boyfriend.

The court heard that she shot millionaire jewellery store owner Andrew Bush before fleeing in his Hummer and the jury found her guilty on the evidence given. Kukucova was been sentenced to more than 15 years in prison by a Spanish court in Malaga.

The 26 year old was sentenced to 15 years in jail for murder, and another six months for breaking into the apartment where the shooting took place.

Last week a jury in Malaga found Kukucova guilty of killing Andrew Bush on 5 April 2014. She said she had not meant to harm Bush, claiming the former jewellery store owner died during a violent struggle at his home

on the Costa del Sol. Prosecutors said Kukucova shot the 48-year-old millionaire twice in the head and once in the shoulder.

The court heard there had been a violent struggle before Bush’s death, after he returned home unexpectedly from a trip to the UK while Kukucova was in the house collecting her possessions. She had allegedly been staying in the house for at least two days and was reported to have made a getaway in Bush’s Hummer vehicle.

Kukucova, who did not enter a formal plea, said shots were fired during the fight but denied murder.

Bush was previously married to a former BBC Bristol presenter, Sam Mason, the mother of his daughter, Ellie, 21. He met Kukucova when she worked in his shop in Bristol; the couple were together for two and a half years but the relationship ended around six months before Bush’s death.

Spanish big businesses TOWIE star stabbed in Marbella want UK to stay in EU UK reality star Jake Hall has been stabbed at Marbella nightclub. The celeb, well known in the UK for his role in the popular reality series TOWIE (The Only Way is Essex) is in intensive care at the Costa del Sol hospital after an incident at the Aqwa Mist nightclub in Puerto Banús.

The 25-year-old, whose condition was described as serious but stable, suffered a stab wound to his right side, which, according to sources, affected one of his

Spain’s leading companies have joined the call for UK to reject Brexit and remain in EU. With just over three weeks to go until the referendum that will decide whether the United Kingdom remains within the European Union, Europe’s leading companies have reiterated the dangers of Brexit, saying it “would reduce prosperity”.

The European Round Table of Industrialists (ERT), a forum made up of the CEOs of Europe’s 50 top industrial and technology companies, among them Spain’s Inditex, Iberdrola and Telefónica, have written an open letter highlighting the importance of a united Europe.

Rejecting the fear campaigns of both sides in the run-up to the referendum, the ERT’s letter echoes the more reasoned approach taken by the ‘Better Together’ campaign led by the UK’s three main parties ahead of the referendum on Scottish independence last year.

“This could be one of the biggest opportunities for prosperity in Europe: we need to act in unison to progress,” reads the ERT’s missive. The organisation’s members have a combined turnover of more than €2 trillion a year, spend more than €55 billion on R+D, and employ some 6.8 million Europeans.

Spain is represented in the ERT by

Pablo Isla, Ignacio Sánchez Galán and José María Álvarez-Pallete, the CEOs of Inditex, Iberdrola and Telefónica respectively.

Along with banks Santander and Sabadell and construction company Ferrovial, they are Spain’s leading representatives in the United Kingdom.

Accepting that “Europe can and should improve”, the letter warns against ignoring the EU’s strengths, as well as underscoring the importance of two of Brussels’ key objectives, which in turn are the Achilles heel of the Brexit campaign: competitiveness and policies to boost exports and access to overseas markets.

The majority of independent experts say that the United Kingdom would lose in both areas if it opted to leave the EU. The ERT points out that the EU is the world’s biggest economy, ahead of the United States and China, with a 16 percent market share of global trade.

It adds that some 36 million jobs throughout Europe depend on trade; protecting them is one of the main arguments of those arguing in favor of the United Kingdom remaining in the EU. Four of Britain’s main trading partners, Germany, The Netherlands, France and Ireland are EU members and trade with them would be seriously affected by Brexit, says the ERT.

kidneys. The stabbing, which is being investigated by the National Police, occurred at 3.30am at Aqwa Mist, a nightclub popular with British tourists where celebrities are commonly spotted, among them TOWIE stars.

According to sources Jake Hall was involved in a fight between two groups of British youths, during which bottles and glasses were thrown.

Hall was injured during this fight, either

with broken glass or a knife.

The Local and National Police were called to the scene although when they arrived Hall's friends had already taken him to the Costa del Sol hospital.

The investigation is now in the hands of the National Police Specialised and Violent Crime Unit (UDEV). Hall will be questioned as soon as he is well enough.

Jake Hall is also a model and footballer, playing most recently for Boston United.

the public exhibition of “phallic tiaras” or “unbecoming behavior with inflatable sex dolls.” The city council has just approved a new ordinance which addresses behavior in public spaces and is also banning the practice of walking around the streets in bathing trunks with no shirt, a practice popular with many tourists. Outright nudity is also specifically prohibited.

However, it is the stag and hen parties that have drawn the most annoyance from local

Stag and hen parties themselves are not being banned, she noted, adding:“That would be undemocratic.”

Instead, Cano said the aim of the new rules is to make these celebrations compatible with family tourism, since these raucous parties tend to “begin at noon in places where there are children present.”

Zamora, a Socialist (PSOE) spokesman, called the local council “a factory for destroying tourism.”

“Anybody fined for wearing a bathing suit on the street would find it so ridiculous and unfair they would never return here,” said Zamora. “And then they will tell everyone about it and the news will spread like wildfire, and people considering coming to Mojácar will go somewhere else.”

Confessions of an Estate Agent!

Foreigners buying more property in Spain than ever The latest report published by the Council of Property Registrars has confirmed that foreigners are buying more property in Spain than ever. In concrete, international investors acquired almost 48,000 properties in the last year, which is an increase of more than 13 percent from the previous 12 months. The report also revealed that the British are still the top buyers of Spanish real estate, and make up 21 percent of the total of all purchases made by foreigners.

This calculates at approximately 10,000 homes bought by investors or tourists by a nationality whose relationship with the rest of the Europe is currently in doubt if the UK exits the EU. Business

where foreign buyers tend to prefer. The first quarter of 2016 closed with house prices rising 6.9 percent annually, slightly up on how much prices also increased at the end of 2015.

Between January and March 2016, a total of 100,000 properties were sold just in that quarter.

This is the highest figure for the last 12 quarters, or the last three years, and the second highest figure for the last 20 quarters.

And, this rise in the number of house purchases has been registered across almost every region, as 16 autonomous regions saw the number of property sales go up for the same period from the previous year.

relationships and commercial deals may become a lot more difficult if Brexit does happen.

In nowhere near the same volume, the next top property-purchasing nationalities are the French, German and Swedes, who each make up between 6 and 7 percent of the total purchases made by foreign buyers. The Chinese represent around 4 percent of all purchases.

Total purchases: nationals and foreigners And, as the number of property purchases go up, so too do house prices - especially in areas

The majority of sales took place in the regions of Andalucía, Cataluña, Madrid and Valencia.

With such a good start to the year, it looks as though the sector could be in for its best year regarding property sales.

Despite the good news, investors are not so interested in purchasing new builds, and are opting for resale property in the majority of cases instead.

The number of transactions involving new-build properties hit an all-time low during the first quarter of the year.

Rebecca Serwotka – Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada.

On this 3rd and final part of Confessions Of An Estate Agent, I’d like to share a story about taking clients out to view a home.

You probably think that opening up a house for sale is easy… I must admit it’s the most fun part of the job, showing people around their potential new home, but it can get quite tricky when there’s someone inside the house that the agent isn’t expecting to be there! This was one of those occasions…

During the late 80’s early 90’s viewing appointments were very different to how they are today. Getting in touch with homeowners wasn’t easy because not everyone had mobile phones. On this one particular occasion, Lyn took English clients out to show them a couple of villas for sale here in Ciudad Quesada, when she phoned me in the office, “Please call the owners of the newly listed villa and tell them I’m on my way. I should be there in about ten minutes,” Lyn informed me quickly. The owners were retired Doctors that lived here permanently but due to them having a busy social life, they’d given us a key to access their home if ever they were out and to“help ourselves”. This is the ideal scenario for any agent, as being unable to locate the owner for a viewing appointment at short notice can be quite frustrating. So I phoned the house… no answer, the owners were obviously out enjoying themselves… perfect! Well so I thought! They’d told us to use the key and go right in, so that’s exactly what we would do.

Lyn arrived at the house and rang the doorbell just in case anyone was home. She took out the key, unlocked the door and walked inside with the buyers following closely behind. She showed the lounge,

dining room, kitchen and then next was the master bedroom. Upon opening the bedroom door, there … in all his glory, was the male homeowner lying on top of the bed….. ASLEEP! Lyn quickly tiptoed out of the room and hastily encouraged the buyers that they needed to come back to see the rest of the villa on a different day.

It turned out that the owner had been ill and the wife was out running errands! So you see, having mobile phones now makes our life so much easier…Less interesting, but so much easier! I can conclude that the buyers did purchase that villa… maybe they really did like the view! And to this day, the homeowners never knew Lyn had been there!

Just to finish this weeks’ blog with a market update.

What an amazing week it’s been. Incredibly busy! Our international buyers certainly know where the best place to purchase is… right here! May is always a very popular month for buying but 2016 proved to be record breaking! The housing inventory is extremely low right now so If you seriously want to sell your home or wish to know what it could be worth in today’s market, contact us… What’s holding you back? Price? Estate Agent’s commission? If you think it’s expensive hiring a professional to sell your home, try hiring an amateur!

TV PICK Inside Birmingham´s Childrens Hospital Channel 4 – 10.00 pm

With unprecedented access, this heartwarming new documentary series explores modern-day parenting through some of the 270,000 patient visits to Birmingham Children's Hospital each year. Narrated by David Tennant, the series intimately follows children and their families on their journeys through 34 specialist departments and further afield. From emergencies in A&E to discussions in families' cars and around the dinner table, the series discovers what it really means to be a parent, through testing and also life-affirming moments. This first episode meets three fathers with stiff upper lips, but whose bottom ones begin to wobble.

A football coach's son goes into minor surgery; another dad finds his feet in difficult circumstances; and a third father battles an instinctive fear about his son going under the knife.

The Millionaire´s Holiday Club BBC2 – 10.00 pm

Eastenders: Ian gets a wake-up call and Kim finds herself in an uncomfortable position.

Emmerdale: Bernice spots an opportunity. Moira is frustrated by Cain's attitude. Belle is upset.

From the Seychelles to Barbados, this documentary series goes away with millionaire clients on made-to-measure holidays and looks behind the scenes at a luxury tour operator to see their extraordinary efforts to try and provide seven-star holidays across the globe. In the Caribbean, we meet party girl Jane.

12 years ago, Jane decided to retire with partner Michael and spend the rest of her days on holiday. This year's first holiday is a sumptuous Christmas cruise around the Caribbean islands. Mervyn and Heather, on the other hand, just want a quiet life, dreaming of ten precious days away in one of the most prestigious hotels in Jamaica. At the tour operator's offices, new girl Kelsey has swapped working in Thomas Cook for trying to create paradise on earth for her clients.

Along with colleagues Natalie and Holly, the girls are on a research trip to North Island, one of the most expensive holiday destinations in the world. Welcome to the Millionaires' Holiday Club.

tv pick 24 Hours in A&E - Channel 4 - 10pm The brand new series of the RTS award-winning documentary continues to follow patients treated in the same 24-hour period at St George's Hospital in south-west London, which has one of the most advanced and busiest A&E departments in the world; it's a place where stories of life, love and loss unfold every day. Stephan, who is 39 years old, is rushed to St George's with internal bleeding from his femoral artery. Stephan has a condition called Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome and the bleed was caused by complications following an angiogram he had the day before. Doctors are concerned that the drop in blood pressure and sudden blood loss could be putting Stephan's heart under potentially fatal strain. Stephan had to have a device fitted to restart his heart and his cardiologist encouraged him to 'live a little' - so he's in training for his first Iron Man event. Emmanuel Junior, who is 19 years old, comes to A&E after suffering an acute attack of sickle cell disease.

PM makes tax cut election pledge San Miguel overturns new house build Spain's opposition has blasted Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's conservative government for campaigning for a June general election on promises to lower taxes as well as slashing the public deficit.

Rajoy has said he is considering more tax cuts if re-elected at the 26th June general election even as the European Commission mulls sanctions against Madrid for breaking deficit rules.

The head of the main opposition Socialists, Pedro Sanchez, accused the prime minister of ‘lying’, saying Spain's fiscal situation does not allow for taxes to be reduced.

“He will once again trick Spaniards,” said Sanchez, who plans to raise taxes to balance the budget. New anti-austerity party Podemos, which also wants to raise taxes so as to increase social spending, also lashed out at Rajoy.

“Fresh tax cuts are a danger for public services and it will commit us to budget cuts in the future," Podemos economist Nacho Alvarez told top-selling Spanish daily newspaper El Pais.

Podemos has formed an alliance with its smaller far-left rival Izquierda Unida to run together in the elections and polls show it is poised to surpass the Socialists in the upcoming election to finish second.

Meanwhile Albert Rivera, the head of new market-friendly party Ciudadanos which is seen as a natural ally for the conservatives, advised Rajoy “to not

make promises he can’t keep”.

Rajoy's Popular Party (PP) has made its handling of the economy the focus of its campaign.

The PP credits its reforms for returning Spain to growth in 2013 after a property bubble burst in 2008.

The party came in first in an inconclusive 20th December general election but lost its absolute majority in parliament and was unable to form a governing coalition with other entities.

Both Ciudadanos and the Socialists refused to join forces with

the PP, whose image has been tainted by a string of corruption scandals and austerity measures. No other party was able to cobble together a coalition, leading to the repeat election next month.

Rajoy, in power since December 2011, has also vowed to continue to reduce unemployment.

Under his watch the unemployment rate has fallen from 27 percent at the height of Spain's economic crisis to just below 21 percent, although it remains

the highest in the European Union after Greece's. The Spanish economy, the eurozone's fourth largest, expanded by 3.2 percent last year, well above the European average.

Uncertain economy However, despite the return to growth Spain's public deficit came in at 5.0 percent of gross domestic product last year, far higher than the target of 4.2 percent Madrid agreed with Brussels and vastly above the 3.0 percent limit set by the euro zone rules.

The European Commission will decide in July - after the elections - if it is to slap Spain with a fine for violating its deficit rules. Rajoy has promised Brussels to take steps to reduce the deficit if he is re-elected, according to a letter that was made public by El Pais.

The PP, which reduced taxes in 2015 just before the December election, argues tax cuts will raise consumer spending and boost job creation.

“The goal of reducing the deficit is perfectly compatible with the reduction of income taxes,” Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said.

Polls predict the result of the June election will be similar to that of the December election with the PP in first place, followed by the Socialists and Podemos neck and neck with Ciudadanos in fourth place.

Many analysts predict that this time round the Socialists and Ciudadanos will allow the PP to form a minority government.

The general director of planning has over ridden the planned land use in San Miguel de Salinas. The decision was made in the recent Municipal Council meeting and as well as cancelling the current PGOU and use plan he reinstated the previous plan, until a new plan can be developed and agreed.

The resolution puts an end to a plan of what many residents and local groups and associations believed was a programme of unsustainable urban development. Under this plan it was proposed to build more than 40,000 homes and encourage 100,000 new residents to join a current population of 7,000 poor people. This plan was forged in the heat of the housing bubble early the past decade and had no bearing on the current economic and social needs of the current community.

This resolution cancels another of the General Director of Planning decisions dated 24 October 2008 which definitively approved the land-use planning following the agreement of the Territorial Planning Commission Alicante from May, 2007.

The new agreement gives compliance to the judgment of the Superior Court of Valencia of 13 November 2013, under which the action brought by the neighborhood association ‘San Miguel Archangel’ and the agreement of the Directorate General and Association of Friends of Escalona (ASE) stand. The Supreme Court also ruled against the appeal brought by the City Council and the Generalitat giving precedence to the agreement of the Supreme Court.

The neighbourhood association has battled hard to overturn the agreement to build the houses and is new looking for a ‘new journey’, which it believes can now begin. The drafting of the new urban plan is not going to be designed under similar parameters to the economic boom but with the participation and interest of all affected sectors, especially those of the the residents. The new plan will be concerned with the principles of sustainable, balanced and measured development in harmony with the natural, cultural and economic values of the town.

The Spanish Tax Agency – the Hacienda - was aware that Lionel Messi hid revenue for two years before informing prosecutors. The Agency inspected Leo Messi’s accounts on 20 occasions over the course of two years during its investigation into possible fraud by the Barcelona soccer player.

During the course of this time it discovered he had pretended to give up his image rights to a company based in the tiny Central American country of Belize.

On the first day of Messi’s trial in Barcelona, lawyers accused the tax authorities of acting misleadingly, given that after the second interview with him in 2011, they already had sufficient evidence to report the case to the public prosecutor’s office, something inspectors did not do until 2013 Over the following two years, Messi and his father, Jorge Horacio Messi, who handled the player’s financial affairs, continued to provide tax inspectors with information that ended up incriminating them further, says his legal team, arguing that this amounted to a breach of their basic right “to not incriminate themselves”.

The judge overseeing the hearing dismissed the argument,

saying any such “irregularities” would not influence the case.

Messi was not required to be in court for the first day of the hearing, but did appear on Thursday, with his father, to give evidence. A verdict and any sentencing are not expected until next week.

The case centres on revenue from the Argentinean international’s image rights and a web of shell companies allegedly used to evade taxes on income from those rights. Messi and his father are accused by the Spanish Tax Agency of defrauding the government of €4.2 million between 2007 and 2009.

According to the prosecutors’ office, revenue was hidden using shell companies in Uruguay, Belize, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Messi and his father face jail terms of up to 22 months if found guilty, but would not spend time behind bars, as Spanish legislation establishes two years as the threshold after which prison terms must be enforced. Messi and his father paid €5 million to the tax authorities as a “corrective” measure after being formally investigated in June 2013.

A resident in Barcelona since 2000, Messi became a Spanish

citizen in 2005. He is 10th on Forbes magazine’s list of the world’s highest-earning athletes over the past decade, with an income of $350 million.

With the Copa America beginning Saturday, Messi flew back to Spain after Argentina’s warm-up match against Honduras last weekend while the rest of the squad traveled to the United States to prepare for the tournament. Messi will join his teammates after the trial ends, just four days before Argentina plays its first match against defending champion Chile.

Messi is the latest high-profile player to be targeted by the Spanish tax authorities: Neymar, Javier Mascherano, Adriano and Xabi Alonso have also been subjected to audits.

sometimes my computer freezes even if I am just reading the news on a website.

Aunty Says: Hello Thomas. From the screen picture you sent me it looks like you have a particularly nasty bit of spyware or virus on your computer. Make sure you have an updated copy of MalwareBytes and then

do a full scan of your computer. Also check your antivirus program is up to date and do a full scan with that. The new generation of spyware and root-kit virus are extremely clever and they often stop your antispyware and antivirus programs from working which can often make them almost impossible to remove, so see how you get on and if you run into any

Dawn via email asks: Hi Aunty. I have just upgraded to a HP laptop with Windows 11 but it doesn’t have a pound sterling key!!

I’m assuming that is normal for computers bought in Spain. It is only very occasionally I use the £ key and you once mentioned how to use a thing called the “character map” so I was wondering if I could switch the dollar sign that is on my keyboard.

Aunty Says: Hi Dawn, I hope that’s a typo error and

www.costablancapeople.com

Microsoft haven’t released Windows 11 without me knowing. The quick way of getting the Pound key is to hold down the ‘Alt’ key and type 0163 from you number pad (not the numbers along the top row) and I have sent you instructions on how to change the keyboard layout within Windows that will let you make use of the unused dollar key.

Mel via email asks: Hi Aunty, I have been happily using Skype for 3 years mainly for family in the UK without any problems but the last time I attempted to use Skype it would not connect. I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 10. I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the Skype app but with same result. I tried it on my Galaxy tablet but still no joy. It does start to make a connection but then simply stops. I know Microsoft have bought Skype so have they done something that requires updating my system?

Aunty Says: Hi Mel. If both your laptop and you tablet are having the same problems then I suspect the issue is either with your Internet provider or your Skype account. Have you tried restarting your router and maybe test Skype on your laptop via an internet cafe connection?

Another thing to try is the built-in Skype call test. If you don’t see it on your Skype screen then type the word Echo into the search box and you should get the option to call the free sound/test service. Certainly make sure you have the latest version of Skype and let me know how you get on.

une is busting out all over and so is live entertainment as we hurtle into summer proper.

Some interesting events are happening this coming week. Here are a few things have caught my eye.

Friday: - at El Alto La Dolores is Re Union Gap, which is headed by the ever popular Woody. If you love Northern Soul and you are in the Gran Alacant area you are in for a treat as La Piedra has the top Northern Soul DJ “Tomo” will be bringing a touch of Wigan Casino especially to celebrate the birthday of the owners father. From Friday there is a 3 day event by the Tourist office in La Marina Urb. The Andalusian fiesta has live entertainment, equestrian events, disco and a whole weekend of entertainment lined up.

Saturday – It wouldn’t be a weekend without going out on a Saturday night and this weekend you can go out all day and all night and be entertained if you are up to it. Starting at 10.30am in Punta Prima, The Samaritans are having their Summer Fair - A very worthy cause with top acts giving their talents for free to help raise funds.

Down in Torre de La Horadada, I hear rumours that Channel 5 will be attending the festivities at Lo Monte Camping. I know for sure that the top Rod Stewart will be there, so worth going just for him and the other superb acts that will be on from 1pm. A little nearer home, Breakaway’s in Tiro De Pichon have brought Zodiac Duo down all the way from Benidorm.

The guys are a fun and lively duo who have a way of getting a party atmosphere started.

Their enthusiasm and wonderful harmonies have a way of letting everyone have an exceptional evening, with many a laugh along the way.

As we are in Spain there is nothing to stop you going out any day or night of the week you like.

With bars, restaurants and venues having entertainment on 7 days a week there is plenty to keep us all out and socialising. After all, that is what it is all about too. Meeting friends, and making new ones.

Talking face to face with no phone, computer or social media; sharing the experiences of live entertainment, eating, drinking and dancing. That is what live entertainment is all about. When I go to see one of my acts or to my shows, the look of joy on the audience faces it what makes all the hard work worthwhile. Humans are social creatures by nature, so do what is natural and get out and be social. You will feel great for it.

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.

Holidaying in Britain growing in popularity A third of Brits (33%) spent their ‘main holiday’ in 2015 in Britain, an increase from 24% in 2014, making it our most popular choice of holiday destination, beating Spain, France, Canada and the US combined.

Desire to stay in dear old blighty makes sense when we look at the number one reason for going on holiday: to visit family, friends and relatives (45%). And our friends and family are the number one source we consult when making a decision about where to travel (61%), higher than travel websites (42%).

The data from TNS’s Flash Eurobarometer shows British people are more likely to consult social media, when researching a holiday, compared to the European average (18% versus 12%). We’re also much more likely to book our holiday online from a tour operator or airline company, versus the European average (52% versus 32%).

The poll of 1,504 people, interviewed in

January 2016, also asked about whether people take the environment into consideration when choosing a holiday destination. 21% of Brits said they looked at whether the hotel/accommodation they chose had introduced environmentally-friendly tourism practices, compared to a European average of 13%. And Brits are more likely to care that their holiday destination is

accessible by transport with a low impact on the environment, 25% versus a European average of 15%.

When asked about plans for summer 2016, 27% of Brits say they plan to spend their ‘main holiday’ in the UK; however, the figure was similar when we asked last year about people’s 2015 main holiday (26%) and as we saw, 33% actually ended up having a staycation.

Extinguished Fire Fighters Club charity contribution The Extinguished Fire Fighters Club, based on the Costa Blanca, gave a contribution to two charities on the 1st June. The charities were The Torrevieja Stroke Support Group and Help at Home - Costa Blanca. Representatives from both charities were pleased to receive 200 Euros each at the Wednesday meeting.

The EFFC meet every first Wednesday of the month at the "Green Baize Club" in Quesada, near Torrevieja at 3pm.

If you ever worked for any part of the Fire Service in the UK you will be most welcome to join the club.

Melody Makers charity concert The Costa's leading choral group, Melody Makers International, will soon be presenting the latest in its increasingly successful series of shows on Saturday 25th June in the idyllic surroundings of the Orihuela Costa Resort Hotel, La Zenia.

The two shows, a 2pm matinee and an 8pm evening performance, are entitled ‘A Century of Popular Songs’ and will include smash hit songs from every decade from the 1920s until the present day. This will provide the widest possible variety of songs from one of the best and most successful choir on the coast, along with some of the finest soloists in the Costa region. These include the singing sensation Verity Hall, the ever-popular and experienced young singer Rebecca Holt, and concert favourites Mary Beer and Graham Cooke.

Starting with a fabulous medley of 1920s favourites, the show will move through the decades and will include a Wartime selection (1940s), the fabulous music of the 60s and 70s (Bowie, Beatles, Beach Boys etc.) and, of course, Abba. The second half of the concert will concentrate on the remaining decades of the century, bringing us up to the present day with the music of Beyonce, Adele, Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion. There is something for everyone in this packed variety show, including the eagerlyawaited comedy duets for which these shows are renowned, all accompanied by a professional band from the UK and conducted by local maestro Nigel Hopkins.

For the second time this year Melody Makers is supporting the children's

charity Debra - the Butterfly Children, for children with the horrible condition EB which leaves them horribly scarred, or even worse in constant pain, which can result from the merest touch of their skin.

The Melody Makers concert in January raised €3,000 for the charity, and choir director Nigel Hopkins is keen to match that magnificent figure with this concert.

Tickets for the shows - priced again at €10 (afternoon) and 12€ (evening) are available from La Ponderosa Gift Shop, La Zenia, as well as The Card Place shops at Punta Prima and Benimar. Tickets can also be obtained from the Debra charity shops in Quesada and San Fulgencio.

Clamp down on Summer rules in looky looky men Guardamar Pilar, Orihuela, Torrevieja and San Pedro have masterminded a joint plan to stop the “looky looky” vendors in order to defend their beaches this summer.

Politicians from Pilar, Orihuela, Torrevieja and San Pedro Town Halls, as well as representatives of the Police and Guardia Civil met recently to tackle the problem of illegal street vendors on the beaches of their municipalities.

Pilar councillor José Tomás Saura said: “By maintaining contact between all the police forces and increasing security on the beaches, this type of illegal selling can be significantly reduced.”

The politicians assured that the main objective is to join forces so that tourists can enjoy themselves and relax on our beaches without being pestered. During the meeting, the police chiefs repeated that prevention is important when it comes to tackling these problems, at the same time as it is important to apply pressure to keep these vendors off the beaches.

The four Town Halls will put together

informative leaflets for residents, tourists and people who come for the summer can find out the risks that come with buying products that have not been officially approved, and of eating food of questionable origin.

The Local Police and the Guardia Civil expressed their intention to coordinate with each other and pass information between them to dissuade vendors and control all forms of criminal activities.

They also said they will carry out preventative work with a daily police presence on the beaches so that they can decommission all the products that are on sale.

Finally, they warned about the serious health risk posed by massages and tattoos that are being offered more and more on beaches in the area, mostly by Asian people, and they noted that thefts on the beaches have reduced considerably thanks to the presence of police, security guards and patrols on bicycles.

Guardamar city council is laying down the rules for public behaviour ahead of the summer season. Bathers who disobey the professional lifeguards by bathing in red flag will be fines and to endorse the fact, the town has just prosecuted three swimmers who breached the law fining them 450 euros each.

With the arrival of summer and tourists on our shores, Guardamar aims to highlight the presence of its professional and security forces. There are several fronts on which it intends to act, including controlling the peddling of counterfeit goods on Avenida Europa through a new and special protocol with the Guard Civil.

As with every year, this year Local Police will reinforce its squad from 10th June and will continue to monitor compliance with the laws that are relevant to the beaches of the municipality, looking for situations such as unlicensed or illegal fishing, the presence of animals on beaches or leaving unauthorised

International visitor numbers boom International visitor numbers for the first four months of the year are up 13 percent on 2015. Those working in the tourism sector, whether directly or indirectly, should be looking forward to a booming summer season this year; as reports from various sources already report a rise in figures from last year.

The latest report from the National Statistics Institute has revealed that the number of international tourists that have visited Spain this year has increased considerably for the first four months of 2016. Between January and the end of April, a total of 18.1 million visitors have holidayed in this country, with almost 6.1 million tourists in April alone, an increase of 11.3 percent from April 2015.

And, during March and April this year more than 10.9 million visitors arrived in Spain; an increase of 13.4 percent from the same months last year, which coincided with the celebration of the Easter holidays.

The majority of visitors hailed from the

UK, with 4,036,510 tourists, 19.4 percent more than for the same period (Jan – April) last year. The next highest-emitting countries were France (2,675,038 visitors) and Germany (2,611,547 visitors). Tourist numbers from these two countries went up 9.5 percent and 6.7 percent from last year respectively.

Regarding Spain’s autonomous regions, those that received the greatest number of international tourists during the first four months of the year were the Canary Islands (+11.3 percent), Cataluña (+6.2 percent) and Andalucía (+20.7 percent), which all received many more visitors than for the same period of last year.

And for the month of April, the most popular destination was Cataluña, with 24.3 percent of the total, followed by the Canary Islands (17.5 percent of the total) and Andalucía (16.4 percent). Each of these three regions received more than 1 million visitors than they did in April 2015.

Brit in balcony plunge A British tourist has suffered serious head and face injuries after jumping from a balcony in Magaluf, Mallorca, whilst practising the fool-hardy stunt known as 'balconing'.

The 25-year-old, whose name has not been released, was said to have been ‘very drunk’ when he leapt off the balcony, this and the fact he only fell around five feet (1.5 metres) has meant that he survived the plunge.

However, his head injury is said to be severe, and he was rushed by ambulance

to Son Espases hospital, where he remains under observation.

'Balconing' has become a worrying trend over recent years and involves jumping from a hotel balcony in an attempt to land in the swimming pool below.

This is a daredevil stunt which has already cost lives in recent years, ‘balconing’ tends to be alcohol-fuelled and involve groups of young foreign tourists – frequently British – in popular party resort areas in Mallorca and Ibiza.

as funfair, food court, disco and handicraft market.

The programme will include Spanish dancers, shows (bailaoras), choirs performances, a rociera mass, horses and horse riding exhibition, classic cars, show, DJ music, and much more.

The Festival will be finished off with a Giant Free Paella.

Spanish grow world’s hottest chillies Spanish entrepreneurs are growing the hottest chillies in the world and plan to produce 40 tonnes in 2016.

The Spanish farmers are feeling the heat as they grow the world’s fiercest chillis in the Guadalhorce valley and they are turning up the heat with their hottest variety, the Carolina Reaper, which contains more than 2,200,000 Scoville units – the measure of how hot a chilli is.

For an idea of strength a Padron pepper measures just 2,500 units. These are the spicy peppers the Spanish serve cooked as a starter.

Pedro Gallardo and his partners are taking advantage of the booming chilli peppers market and have grown 39 different varieties on land in Cartama.

Their Mucho Macho has honed in on 20 varieties, which are being cultivated for the first time this year.

“Hot chillis are in fashion, sales are booming, especially in the US and UK, China and Italy, which are the world’s biggest consumers,” said Pedro, “We are planning to sell the chillis fresh, dried and ground. We are also going to make spicy olive oils to be sold here in Spain and also abroad.”

FUND KATHS MAGIC BULLET Those good people at Rioja commercial centre in Orihuela Costa are at it again, trying to raise money for yet another wonderful cause.

Their 6th Annual Fundraiser takes place this coming Sunday – 12th June – on the main upper terrace with fun and frivolity.

There will be singing, dancing, comedy, maybe some drama, and the chance to be “The Star of the Show” with headline act Ed Temple the hypnotist.

Other acts appearing include mother and daughter singing duo Suzi and Jazz, The Cover Brothers, Dan Davy, Harry Waters, Adrian Hyde and the amazing Duncan Disorderly plus the Terri Horath dance troupe.

Entertainment gets underway at 2pm and there will be a host of charity, art & crafts and food stalls for all to enjoy, plus a tombola and raffle for some truly great prizes, many donated by local businesses.

Although the event is scheduled to end at 6pm the fun will not end there as things move inside Gossip Bar for Gavin James and his fabulous

karaoke show.

All funds raised on the day will be donated to Kathryn Osmond who, aged just 40 years old, and with three young children to think about, has been diagnosed with advanced malignant melanoma with a prognosis that is not very good – a few months at the most.

All normal treatments have failed but there is one option left, Tumour Invading Lymphocytes, but there is only one problem, it is not available

for free. It will cost in the region of seventy thousand pounds sterling which is why the money is so desperately needed.

And the fundraising will not stop at just one event – there are two others taking place early this month and both are golf related.

Today Tuesday 7th June the Gossip Bar Crazy Golf Society will be playing at their regular venue – the Crazy Golf Course near Lomas de Cabo Roig.

And then on Sunday 19th June 13 teams of 4 will take part in a Texas Scramble at Vistabella Golf Course and at the time of writing there are a few spaces still available.

Any individual or, better still, a team of four who would like to play can contact Gavin at Albatross Golf (conveniently located on Rioja commercial) on 966 764 145.

The après golf will be held at Alioths Irish Bar Playa Flamenca with free paella for all golfers and entertainment laid on again – this time with Luke Wilder at the helm.

Whichever event you wish to support just come along and give to a very worthy cause.

Pregnant women needlessly avoiding pills Most pregnant women needlessly avoid common medicines for fear of harming their unborn baby, doctors have warned.

Thousands of mothers-to-be wrongly fear that even mild treatments could be harmful - and suffer on in silence.

But experts say that they might actually be doing themselves or their babies harm by allowing minor complaints to develop into more serious problems.

Researchers at the University of East Anglia found that nearly three quarters of women deliberately avoid taking medications during pregnancy, including over-the-counter treatments such as paracetamol, ibuprofen and cough and cold remedies.

The findings, published in the International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy, reveal that common pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, heartburn and aches and pains are often left untreated.

And the team warned that even urinary tract infections (UTI), which can cause significant complications and harm the foetus if left untreated, are often ignored.

Study leader Dr Michael Twigg, from UEA’s School of Pharmacy, said: ‘We wanted to find out what women believe about the risks and benefits of taking medication while pregnant.

‘We wanted to know how these beliefs and fears relate to actual medication taking – whether they stop women taking medication which is actually safe.’

The great food debate of the week: Eating fat to stay slim We were all enjoying our porridge and muesli last week when the latest food fight broke out. A damning report by a leading obesity charity warned that the low-fat, low-cholesterol message underpinning 30 years of public health advice was simply wrong.

Eat more fat, less carbohydrates and don’t worry about cholesterol, urged the report by the National Obesity Forum (NOF). In response, Public Health England (PHE) condemned the report as “a risk to the nation’s health”.

For consumers, the furore was yet another recipe for confusion when it comes to healthy eating. What is clear is

has doubled in the past 20 years to almost 3.5 million. PHE argues that we have these problems because, as a nation, we don’t observe official health guidelines, consuming too much sugar and too much saturated fat. The authors of the NOF report disagree and say the guidelines are wrong.

Dr David Unwin, a GP in Merseyside who contributed to the report, believes we just need to focus on a few rules if we want to eat well. “There’s a lot that health experts agree on,” he says. “We need to concentrate on some simple messages.”

So let’s try and outline everything you should – and shouldn’t – be eating:

Starchy foods Official advice to base meals around bread, pasta and rice are being challenged by some experts who say these foods cause blood sugar to rise, increasing the risk of diabetes. Low-carb diets are recognised as good for weight loss and reducing the risk of Type 2 diabetes.

Low fat Once the diet du jour, research now shows that low-fat diets are ineffective, and that some fats benefit our health.

Most experts worry that low-fat products such as yogurt often contain lots of added sugar.

Margarine and spreads Still recommended by public health officials as a way to limit our intake of saturated fats, some experts advocate natural butter as a more healthy option.

Nuts Once had a dubious reputation for being high in fat and calories, but are now regarded as a key part of a healthy diet.

Red meat Health guidelines suggest eating no more than 70g per day. The World Health Organisation has classified red meat as a “probable” trigger for cancer, but some experts have questioned the research behind this.

Sugar and starchy carbs

that the UK and most of Europe has a serious health problem. In England, 25 percent of adults are obese and the number of people with Type 2 diabetes

Eggs Previous links to high cholesterol and heart disease have been revised and daily limits scrapped.

Almost everyone agrees that sugar damages our health. Official guidelines say we should limit our daily intake of added sugar to 25g or six teaspoons a day. This includes honey, syrups and fruit juice.

However, opinion is divided over starchy carbohydrates. The UK’s recently

revised Eatwell Guide recommends we base our meals around carbs such as wholegrain bread, rice and pasta – wholegrain where possible. But the NOF report suggests this advice is making our health worse.

Dr Unwin has successfully treated patients for obesity and Type 2 diabetes by encouraging them to switch to lower carbohydrate diets.

“I used to tell patients to give up eggs, cheese and butter in line with the official guidelines, but it didn’t seem to work,” he says. “When I saw how much sugar comes out of starchy carbs I was shocked. I realised why they struggled to lose weight.”

Anna Daniels, a dietician, agrees that low-carb diets can help weight loss, but adds that whole grains can help prevent cancers and are full of fibre. “Not all carbs are equal,” she says.

Should I eat fat?

Past advice promoted low-fat diets, but newer research shows that some fats are essential. Scientists agree about the “good” fats. Mono-unsaturated fats, in olive oil, avocados and most nuts, help protect our hearts by maintaining levels of “good” HDL cholesterol, while reducing levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol.

There are two main types of polyunsaturated fats: omega 3 fatty acids (in oily fish) and omega 6 fatty acids (in vegetable oils).

There’s a consensus, too, that artificial trans-fats in processed foods such as biscuits and cakes are bad news. Transfats increase the risk of disease, even in small amounts. But saturated fats in red meat and dairy are contested. The NOF report claims there is no solid evidence to support the official wisdom that saturated fat raises cholesterol levels and increases the risk of heart disease.

In fact, the report argues, saturated fats in full-fat dairy can protect your heart, and there should be no limit on the amount of fat we eat. This runs against official guidelines recommending that no more than 30 percent of our calories should come from fat, and that we should stick to low-fat dairy, and unsaturated oils and spreads.

PHE says this advice is based on the fact that, as a nation, we eat more saturated fat than we should; a limit of 20g a day is recommended for women and 30g for men.

Anna Daniels, dietician, says the healthiness of saturated fat depends on the food. “People who over-consume saturated fat may eat it in food such as pies and pastries, which are full of unhealthy refined carbs,” she says. “A little butter might not be an issue. But if you have high cholesterol, then switching to a monounsaturated spread such as olive oil would be beneficial.”

Cholesterol Cholesterol was long considered a dietary demon along with fat. Experts believed that cholesterol-rich eggs, for

example, clogged our arteries and caused heart disease, so public health officials urged us to limit our intake to one a day.

As it turns out, there was no evidence to support the link between egg consumption and heart disease or stroke, so restrictions were lifted.

‘Real’ food Amid all the claims and counter-claims in the latest skirmish over healthy eating, there is some common ground.

Dr David Nunan, Departmental Lecturer in Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford University, says there is little argument that a Mediterranean-style diet is a good model. “This consists mainly of vegetables, fruit (but not fruit juice), unsalted nuts, olive oil, seafood (especially oily fish), lean meat, legumes, beans and pulses, and wholegrain carbohydrates,” he says.

But the toughest guideline for many people – and the most crucial – is to eat real food. “Limit your intake of highly processed foods,” says Dr Nunan. “If the packaging lists more than five to 10 ingredients, then it is probably highly processed.”

If only every message in the food debate were that simple.

Food to avoid • Highly processed foods with five to 10 ingredients (or more) • Fizzy drinks, flavoured milks, flavoured yogurt and yogurt drinks, cordial and syrups • Fruit juice and fruit juice concentrates (no more than 150ml daily) • Processed, baked and fried foods containing artificial trans-fats (hydrogenated fat) and refined sugars • Processed red meat •Snacks between meals

Food to eat • Meals cooked from scratch with fresh, raw or whole ingredients • Vegetables – especially green, leafy ones • Good fats – olive oil, avocados, nuts and oily fish (tuna, mackerel, salmon) • Whole grains

Watch out for affairs on Cup Final day For Britain’s ‘football widows’, the FA Cup Final between Manchester United and Crystal Palace was the final straw, with new figures revealing that thousands of women signed up to the UK’s leading dating website for married people, IllicitEncounters.com that very day.

There was a largely irregular spike of female registrations throughout the match day, which peaked ten minutes into kick-off, and maintained its momentum until later in the evening.

IllicitEncounters.com’s spokesman, Christian Grant, said: “At that time on a Saturday afternoon, we very rarely see numbers on this sort of a scale. After nine months of neglect, the cup final proved to be the final straw for many women, and with a summer of football still to come, it wouldn’t surprise me to see something like this happen again.”

The site saw over 1,000 female registrations on Saturday alone, with 80% of those signing up between 3:30 (2 hours

before kick-off) and 8:30pm – half an hour after the game’s conclusion.

Over 20% of those registrations were from women situated in the city of Manchester and surrounding regions in Greater Manchester, including Bolton (3%), Bury (2.2%) and Stockport (4.8%).

But while only 90,000 football fans occupied the seats of Wembley stadium, many more neutral supporters watched the game with friends, choosing to ignore their significant other.

“It’s not the first time this has happened,” said Grant.

Health & Beauty “In every relationship, compromise is needed. While attending a football match once, twice, maybe even three times a week, can be tolerated, watching every match, especially those that don’t directly involve your team, need to be sacrificed, with more time spent with the wife and kids instead.

If not, it’ll only be a matter of time before women find something, or rather, someone, else.”

According to recent studies*, only 25.8% of women follow the sport, leaving a

69

huge proportion of them stranded at home while their husbands attend matches around the country most weeks of the year.

Amanda was one of those who registered to the site on Saturday, stating: “My husband’s been a season ticket holder at Manchester United for several years. While I don’t want him to not have a hobby, it’s reached the stage where I’m second best to a football club week in, week out.” *http://uk.kantar.com/consumer/leisure/ 2015/female-football-fan-data/

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor They say that gardeners are a friendly bunch and that couldn´t have been truer upon visiting the six gardens on the Campoverde Open Garden Day on Saturday 28 May. Such care, thought and devotion had been given to each garden, with helpful advice and useful tips from many. Those that provided refreshments did exceedingly well and, having been blessed with a perfectly warm day, this was most appreciated.

One kind lady gave me quite a few cuttings so, upon return, I began potting them up. You all gave me lots of inspiration and hope! Please repeat this next year and many thanks to all those that organised such a great event.

Angela Stevenson Dear Editor Euro Leisure Club kindly donated a cheque for 425 Euros to Torrevieja Stroke Support. Pauline Weal, president of the Euro Leisure Club, presented the cheque to Lilybeth Stevens, president of TSS on on Friday 20th May 2016 prior to their weekly meeting. The money was raised through club raffles. Many thanks from all at TSS. Many thanks, Wendy Lawrenson TSS Treasurer Dear Editor Following the very successful concert on May 7th when Crescendo International Choir joined with Chivenor Military Wives, not only was an amazing €4,000 shared between the two choirs but an additional allocation of money raised via the grand raffle and the bucket collection

showing the full appreciation of the packed house having enjoyed the wonderful concert.

Crescendo Chairlady Mary Mitchell presented €200 to Tony Wagstaff on behalf of Torrevieja Barbershop Harmony group for their charity in thanks for the loan of the risers.

Mary Priddle Dear Editor There seems no end to the number of charity days that are currently being organised by the kind people of the region the most recent of which was held at Flamenca Beach last Sunday afternoon in aid of both the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal and the Paul Cunningham Nurses.

The event, organised by local fundraiser Eddie Coleman, was attended by yet another bumper crowd including the Councillor for Tourism and Beaches Sofia Alvarez.

During her opening address she highlighted the devotion made to such ‘good causes’ by members of the local community as well as complimenting the enthusiasm of the Torrevieja Pipes and Drums who she said seem to attend just about everyone.

She also welcomed the two Chelsea Pensioners, Skippy Teasdale and Wayne Campbell, both members of the Orihuela Costa Branch of the RBL, who regularly travel out to attend such events from UK, completely at their own expense. She said how pleased she was to see them at Playa Flamenca, once again supporting a fundraising event in the local community.

The afternoon’s entertainment was provided

by Sunshine FM and a dedicated band of entertainers who once again gave of their time absolutely free.

HOW TO NEGOTIATE ROUNDABOUTS

If you are unsure about the correct way to negotiate roundabouts, here are some simple rules to help you enter and exit roundabouts safely and in the right lane.

APPROACHING ROUNDABOUTS It’s important to remember to give way to traffic already on the roundabout. If the roundabout is outside urban areas of towns or cities, keep right.

If the roundabout is in a built-up area inside a town or city and the lanes are clearly marked, you should use the lane that best corresponds to the exit you need to take.

LEAVING ROUNDABOUTS This causes the most confusion amongst drivers. Which lane to choose?

Why do I get beeped at if I’m in the right lane? Drivers must exit roundabouts from the right hand lane, because the only way to leave the roundabout is by turning right. This doesn’t mean we always have to enter the roundabout from the right hand lane. It depends on the exit we need to take. However this simple rule, in practice, can be more complex. Let us see some examples.

1st EXIT RIGHT Enter roundabout keeping to right hand side lane. Stay in lane until exit is reached. Indicate and exit roundabout.

CONTINUING STRAIGHT ON (e.g.

2nd EXIT STRAIGHT AHEAD) Enter roundabout keeping to right hand side lane.

Stay in lane until exit is reached.

Indicate prior to exit and leave roundabout.

TURNING LEFT OR CHANGING DIRECTION (e.g. 3rd OR FINAL EXIT) Enter roundabout keeping to left hand side lane. Stay in lane until you have passed the exit before your turn off, then change lane by indicating right and giving other road users sufficient time to anticipate your manoeuvre.

Don’t forget that drivers circulating in the outside lanes have priority, so use your mirrors to ensure you are not blocking them as you change lanes.

Born in October 2012, Beau and her brothers and sister were rescued by APAH when they were tiny puppies.

Sadly some of them have spent their whole life so far in a kennel environment. They are quite large dogs, so they need someone who can give them the exercise they need or a large, secure outside area.

Emergency chemist

TILING

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.

Airport Bus Timetable This service offers eight return trips between Alicante-Elche Airport and Torrevieja central bus depot without any stops, every day of the year.

Torrevieja to Airport: 7:00, 9:00, 11:00, 13:00, 15:00, 17:00, 19:00, 21:00 Airport to Torrevieja: 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 16:00, 18:00, 20:00, 22:00 Departure and arrival (in Torrevieja): From Torrevieja bus station.

Calle del Mar, 50 Departure and arrival (in Alicante-Elche Airport): 2nd Floor. Price: €6.92 Children under 4 years travel for free (ID may be requested) Pensioners: 30% discount available for pensioners with accreditation from Social Security. Please note that the discount here applies ONLY to pensioners registered as permanent residents of the

Valencian Community. To prove this, you must show ID stating that you are over 65 as well as your DNI (if Spanish) or Residencia (if foreign resident) confirming that your residence is within the Valencian Community.

All buses on this route have wheelchair access, free wifi and luggage storage.

Tickets in Torrevieja are available for purchase within the bus station (Calle del Mar 50), and in the airport directly from the driver.

Prior booking is not required, however more information can be found by calling the bus station (in Spanish) on 965 710 146. The journey time is 50 minutes and the driver takes the route to and from the airport via the A7 motorway, thus avoiding the frequent seasonal delays on the N332.

Bello is a 6 year old male Chihuahua cross. He enjoys his walks and playing with his toys but most of all he loves sitting on your lap and getting cuddles. Bello is fully vaccinated, micro chipped and castrated.

Bridgette is around 9 weeks old and was covered in ticks and fleas when found but has now been treated and in good health. She is a very happy little girl and will be quite small when fully grown.

Minty is a white tabby female (white nose) about 10 months old. Betty is very striking tortie.

MUGURUZA STEALS THE HEADLINES On a weekend when the sporting world mourned the sad passing of boxing legend Muhamed Ali, a ray of sunshine shone on Spain, when Garbiñe Muguruza beat World Nº 1 Serena Williams to claim her first Grand Slam title, the French Open. At twenty-two years of age, it seems likely that she will win many more, with her powerful ground strokes, and savage service. More good news came when Feliciano and Marc Lopez took the doubles title from the American Brian brothers, another straight-sets win.

Spain went about their preparations for the Eurocup in a businesslike fashion, seeing off Bosnia 3-1, then crushing South Korea 6-1, with Nolito and Morata impressing.

The second division issues that remained were all settled, as Alavés added the title to their promotion. A late goal equalizing Gimnástic’s to put them a point ahead of Leganés. The little Madrid club, however, clinched their first ever ascent to the top level by winning at Mirandés. Their near-ninety year history has been mainly spent in the depths of divisions 3 and 2B, and they are one of the few clubs with a female president, Maria Pavón. The play-offs will feature games between Gimnástic and Osasuna, and

Girona and Córdoba. Alcorcón just failed to make the play-offs on goal difference, despite beating Elche 4-1 on the last day.

Descending to the depths of 2B will go Athletic B, Albacete, Llagostera and Ponferradina. Mallorca scraped clear as they beat Valladolid away on the last day.

Earlier in the week UCAM Murcia secured promotion from 2B, to accompany Reus the remaining two places remain to be decided.

Malcolm Palmer

Our featured sports writer, Chris Darwen, has just launched his third book, “Tales from the Top Flight” which is a compilation of his ‘satirical’ newspaper column of the same name.

The book is in diary format following the whole English Premier League season which, spoiler alert, was ambushed by Leicester City.

You can now buy the book for your Kindle or in the traditional paperback through Amazon – simply search for “Tales from the Top Flight.”

Below you will find some of the favourite quotes from people who have read the book already....

“Martinez will be in charge at Everton until the fat lady sings, but the sight of a famous Italian tenor banging out his greatest hits before kickoff might be a subtle clue as to his future” “United stormed out of the blocks in a way that suggested LvG had already been sacked and scored the goal that most neutrals didn’t want to see” “Many a Liverpool fan has commented in recent weeks that Sahko has finally started to look like a quality footballer.

Well, at least we all know how he has achieved that now!”

“Leicester, Spurs or Arsenal? The answer seems to change weekly. I’m still going Leicester. Or Spurs. Not Arsenal, it’s never Arsenal” “One day someone will write a book on the greatest 0-0 draws ever. WBA 0 – 0 Aston Villa will not be in it” “King Klopp spent most of Christmas wondering why he was being asked to

Sign a big, strong striker and start hitting the ball long to him at every opportunity” “Jose Mourinho could have the only ticket in the raffle at the moment and still not win. I mean, he even lost the sack race to Tim Sherwood!”

“Either way, losing 2-1 to Sunderland and admitting you will not get into the Champions League places is not exactly going to stop the Portuguese measuring up a few pictures in your office, is it?”

“Graeme Souness, who played far better than he managed and managed far better than he pundits on Sky, suggested that Rashford might have been out of his depth against an Arsenal defence. Graeme, he was playing against

Arsenal’s defence!”

“Joe Hart will be buying Yaya Toure as much cake as the Ivorian desires after the big midfielder bailed out his goalkeeping buddy. Hart dropped the ultimate clanger to allow Norwich to draw level at the Etihad” “Joleon Lescott, it would probably be wise not to tweet a picture of your new £150,000 car. Just saying Joleon, just saying. The fact that the car probably has a smaller turning circle than yourself nowadays has nothing to do with it”

Las Culturas raises awareness of local sports

Café Uno Golf Society 18 players from the Café Uno Golf Society turned out this week to play at Alenda.

The format was Individual Stableford and the winner was to receive the Pedro Cup. The Pedro cup is in memory of and old friend, Peter Overfield, (better known as Pedro to his friends).

The course was in good condition, although the greens had been hollow tyned which made putting more difficult.

The weather was perfect with not too much wind, which is usually the case at Alenda.

The prize winners were as follows:1st N.Padmore - 33pts. c/b.

2nd C.Pepperday - 33pts.

3rd D.Stewart - 32pts.

Best front 9 B.Howie - 20pts.

Best back 9 G.Phillip / D.Stewart / S.Lawrence. all on 15pts.

Nearest the pin on hole 16 - G.Branton.

Nearest the pin in 2 on hole 4 - P.Jones.

D.Stewart also won his match play game against S.Taylor.

Winner of the Pedro Cup was Norman Padmore with 33pts.

Well done to all our winners, and

On Saturday 4th June Las Culturas Primary School in Torrevieja, once more opened its doors to a range of sporting and leisure providers from the local area.

The intention of the Sports Day was to raise awareness of what’s available and encourage young people in particular to make the most of the opportunities there are.

The event was attended by a number of sports personalities including Diana Box, Olympic athlete and handball champion; Emiliano Casal, Spanish boxing champion; Mar Ferrer and Kim Forde, rowing champions; Susana Fraile, member of the national handball team; Juan D. Llorca, triathlon champion and Jesús Rogel, sailing champion.

Children enjoyed the opportunity to throw some punches with Emiliano Casal, practice their rowing technique and try their hand at street hockey. Displays on the day included rhythmic gymnastics, zumba and pilates. Many sports were represented and able to advertise their activities and theirbenefits including

Tales from the Tournament : My Fantasy League Fun ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

Having watched the “When Football Came Home” documentary presented

by Alan Shearer in the week, I was toe punted back twenty or so years. Sure, Euro 96 holds a lot of nostalgia for me but it was something else in the programme that got me all misty eyed.

Fantasy Football League by Baddiel and Skinner was an absolute must for me in the early part of the 90’s and I still hold my first result as a Fantasy League player as close to me as the medals I won in my actual playing days.

paper to listen to me actually telling you what is really going on in the football world, and if you do then I can recommend many better places to go.

You want situations where I can make a complete fool of myself! So let’s see

least an hour’s thought into this process.

For those of you new to FFL you get points for goals scored, assisted and clean sheets. You get points for penalty

I’ve opted for a 4-3-3 formation, and I have a cunning plan which is more than can be said for Roy Hodgson. Balo is going to play in a Ronaldo type attacking position, and most of the play will naturally go through the Welsh wizard. He is down as a midfielder at £5m. Bargain! Who would have thought that Gareth Bale might be the new Dwight Yorke?

Anyway, building from the back in a way that Roy has opted to totally ignore for the tournament, I have opted for the Romanian goalkeeper. You know the one! Yes, Tatarusanu. He kept eight clean sheets in the qualifiers, so I am banking on him to be on a one man mission to get Romania out of the group containing France.

Sadly, my first effort at FFL was my best. In the inaugural Telegraph game, the original before the likes of Dream Team muddied the waters, I finished 124th in the country. It was incredible.

And very, very lucky. I picked Dwight Yorke as a midfielder and he basically played up front for Villa all season scoring twenty odd goals. I cashed in and nearly got my name in a national newspaper.

With Euro 2016 about to get underway I thought I would come out of FFL retirement and see whether I can turn my “punditry,” and trust me I am using that word in it’s least literal sense, into fantasy success.

Let’s be honest, those of you that read this gubbins don’t pick up the

what I am going to squeeze out of my FFL orange.

Armed with a £50m budget I have gone out and shopped for what I consider to be a winning team from all the players registered to represent their nation in France. Whereas some managers seem to have selected their squad from names out of a hat, I put at

saves (including shoot outs). You lose points for goals conceded by keepers and defenders, bookings and red cards.

You also get points if the player is picked by his manager, so it would make sense to slot Wayne Rooney in straight away, eh?

The way I seem to recall playing this game 20 years ago was to find the

retorted. “Superman don’t need no airplane, Mr Ali” the air stewardess replied without missing a beat.

Andy Murray was “disappointed” to have lost to Djokovic in the French Open tennis final in Paris.

Disappointed, yes. Surprised, probably less so. Murray took the long way

Sport lost one of its greatest icons over the weekend. Legendary boxer Muhammad Ali passed away at the age of 74. Not always perfect, but always entertaining, Ali was a man to live life to his principles, not the principles being forced on him by others. It would be remiss of me to write anything witty or clever at this point, seeing that Ali was one of the finest sporting orators of all time.

However, my favourite quote was where he got a little bit back in return.

The one opponent Ali could never overcome was flying, and once on a plane he was told to put his seat belt on by an air stewardess. “Superman don’t need no seat belt,” the champ

cheapest player that might generate the most points, avoiding the obvious stars. It is a method that Leicester have brought back to life in more recent times.

round to the final, starting with two gruelling five-set matches before playing his best match in defeating the reigning champion Warwincka.

Murray took the first set and had other chances before slipping away to a loss in four. In winning the French, Djokovic completed his set of all four Grand Slams.

Despite a gutsy second innings in Durham, Sri Lanka slipped to a second Test defeat of the summer against England. Chasing 70 odd to win, Alistair Cook scored the five runs he needed to become the first England batsman to score 10,000 Test runs. As he said, “not bad for a guy with three shots.” He probably didn’t say that.

England now have a unassailable lead in the series, unless you prefer to use the new scoring method that the ICC are imposing on everyone.

Mo Farah beat Dave Moorcroft’s 3000 metre record, set in 1982, by running it in 7 minutes and 32 seconds. Personally, I think Farah should have been disqualified for the terrible shadow boxing at the start.

My back four is pure pedigree, and Adil Rami. Juanfran of Atletico starts at right back following the tear inducing injury to Carvajal in the Champions League Final. Rami is the biggest winner in Sakho’s failed drugs test, and looks likely to start at the heart of the French defence. I’ve put him alongside the rock of Juventus, Barzagli who was too good to turn down at £2.5m. On the left, hoping he actually plays, is the German Howedes. It’s just how it is.

mean, who will win the ball back? With bookings for yellow cards, I am happy with three ball players in there who will probably fail to put a tackle in during the whole month. Bale, Payet (£4.6m of free kick taking brilliance) and the Barca midfielder Rakitic make up my trio. If Balo can score a couple he is worth his place, and I will transfer him out when Wales fail to get out of the group.

Strikers are always fun to buy, yet I appear not to have spent my entire £50m budget. In comes the German Muller who has two Golden Boots to his name from the last two World Cups. He is alongside the Russian Dzyuba, a complete gamble, and Portuguese Eder. Eder is a bold move, as it is unlikely Ronaldo is allowing anyone else to score in the tournament. Still, we live in hope.

The more observant among you will notice no English players. I have my reasons. Defensively we are shocking and picking a midfield is going to be like pulling names out of a hat. I would love to pick Alli, but I am worried he might be the 2016 version of 1998’s David Beckham and cost me points for a red. With Roy determined to pick Wayne, I can see both Kane and Vardy going through the campaign goal-less.

So that is my XI. It is guaranteed to be brilliant. Or not. I’ll report back next week after the first few games. Who knows, this idea might last longer than England’s tournament.

I’d hate this midfield in real life. I

Las Ramblas Golf Society We started the week with a Better Ball which was won with an excellent score of 47 pts by the pairing of Brian Dent and John Dobson. Runners up with a score that would normally win with 46 pts were Rod Doel and Mike Chapman who couldn't believe they had not won.

It was time for another Medal on Wednesday which was the last one in the 4 from 6 competition run over the first 6 months of the year. Tom Hardie's 75 was, although not enough to get in the money on the day, sufficient to win the overall trophy. The day's winners were: Cat 1. 1. Brian Townend 70, 2.

Lindsay Forbes 73, 3. Olga Douglas 74.

Cat 2. 1. Mike Mahony 74, 2. Marlen Bellen, 3. Terry Cullen 77.

There were no 2s on the day so there is a rollover in the 2s Club.

Friday's main event was the much awaited final of the Singles Knockout between Tom Hardie and myself, Doug Wright. There was an extra edge to this game with Tom and I buggy partners and close friends. The final lived up to its billing in a fantastic match which went to the wire with Tom winning 1 up on the last. We worked out afterwards that our Better Ball would have been 49 pts which is tremendous golf.

Congratulations again to Tom. The remainder of the members played a Texas Scramble which was won

by the team of Nick Campbell, Marja Oldenzel and Marleen Bellen with 59.05.

Runners up with half a shot more were Geoff Biggerstaff, Bryan Neal, Ken Robertson and Rod Doel.

Club 25 La Serena We recently played our Wednesday ‘Fiddle’ competition. Winner of the front 9 with a score of 19 points was Martin Oakley, winner of the back 9, also with 19 points was Barbara Hitchings, both incurred a 1 shot handicap reduction. The overall winner with 37 points was May Ross, whose handicap was reduced by 2 shots. NTP on the 9th was Martin Oakley, and on the 15th was Ken Sharpe. There were no 2’s so the money rolls over to next Wednesday.

Last Sunday was a Ford League qualifier; we also played for a new trophy ‘El Gato’ which was inaugurated by club captain Peter Ferries. The qualifying rounds for the Ford League are played over a seven month period, and your best four scores count overall, which for some of us today was a good thing. In 4th place with 33 points was Ken McGee, 3rd with 34 points was Martin Oakley, 2nd with 35 points was Ray Millgate and the winner with 36 points was Kevin Hall, who also won the ‘El Gato’ trophy. NTPs on the third was Malcom Smith, 9th was Norman Page, 15th was Ken McGee and the 17th was Martin Archer. No 2s so a rollover to next Sunday.

Our Summer singles knockout

competition is also taking place, so far Les Lane won 3 and 2 against May Ross, Peter Ferries won 3 and 2 against Ken Sharpe.

Wednesday 25th May, a smaller contingent than normal played. The course was in excellent condition, the greens having recently been hollow tined are now looking good and starting to play quite quickly, so thanks to Wayne and his staff for their hard work.

Winner on the front 9 with 19 points and a 1 shot reduction on handicap was Kevin Hall, winner on the back 9 with 20 points, and again a 1 shot reduction on handicap was Ray Millgate. The overall winner with 36 points was Peter ‘Pedro’ French, who incurred a 2 shot reduction on handicap.

NTPs, on the 9th were Kevin Hall and the 17th was Peter French. Norman Page had the only 2, so scooped the rollover jackpot.

Two couples played their summer knockout competition, Malcom Smith beat Norman Page 2 and 1, and Roy Hitchings and George Steen were all square after 18, so they then started on the first in a sudden death play off, Roy beating George on the second, to go through to the next round.

LA SIESTA GOLF SOCIETY CAMPOAMOR GOLF CLUB Eight teams of 4 players entered the Annual May Competition which was followed by an evening at the Olympia restaurant for prize giving, with an excellent buffet & live entertainment.

The format was Stableford, a Foxtrot, i.e. 1 scoring on the 1st hole, 2 on the 2nd, 3 on the 3rd, 4 on the 4th & all players scoring double points on holes 9 & 18.

The course was in very good condition with some testing pin positions, but this did not stop some high scores being returned. The results for the day were: Nearest the pin on hole 6 (men only) Mike O’Reagan Nearest the pin on hole 10 (ladies only) - Jackie Hughes Nearest the pin on hole 15 (all players) - Roger Bellingham Best Individual Score ( not in a winning team) Mike O’Reagan - 40 points (on handicap) Runner Up: Jackie Hughes - 40 points Winning Team: Gail Mosley, Trevor Wheeler, Kevin Johnson, Mike Bulfin 114 points (on handicap) Runners Up: Sue Woodward, Tom Carter, Mark Butcher ,Gordon Entwhistle 114 points Anyone wishing to play with or join La Siesta Golfing Society based at Campoamor Golf should phone the Captain Harry Pearson on 646416182.

We play every Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday.

Quesada Golf Society Last Wednesday the society made the short journey to Algorfa to play La Finca, a course which the society hasn´t played

for some time. It was a glorious sunny day with clear blue skies and sunshine although the wind did get up a bit on the back nine. The greens had been recently hollow-tined and had not yet fully recovered so putting wasn´t that easy with the sand slowing the ball down and the ball prone to a bit of bobbling.

Nonetheless everyone had a good day. It was a full turn-out with 36 players competing in an individual stableford competition with gold and silver divisions. The winner of the gold division was the half Italian Nick “Cappuccino” Capasso with 31 points. In second place on C/B with 29 points was the big Scotsman Gordon McGregor who pipped Stormin Norman Lewis. In the silver division in first place on C/B was David Trotman with 27 points. The gold division beckons David. In second place was Mark

Goode who had a good day and in third place was Nottingham born Paul Flanaghan who is having a good year. The best guest with the best score on thew day was Ron Smith who came in with 32 points. The winners of the nearest the pins were Sue Forbes, Brent Hollins, David McSweeney, Glenys Thomas, Tony Patterson and Paul Flanaghan. The biggest winner on the day was Irish lass Sheila McSweeney who took home a two fist fulls of euro´s after getting the only 2 on the day and adding to this another €20 from winning the the scratchcard with Wolves. Hopefully she will treat her hubby David to a menu del dia.

After the game the players returned to the society base at the bright and airy refurbished bar area at the Quesada Country Club for the presentations, a drink or two and a tasty hot and cold buffet kindly provided by mine hosts.

The next society game is on Wednesday 15 June at Las Colinas which already has a waiting list as it is probably the most popular course we play.

Anyone in the Quesada area looking to join a very friendly golf society and play golf once a fortnight at a wide variety of courses at a very reasonable cost, should contact the Chairman & Membership Secretary Les Pancott on 966716723.

A Day of Two Halves for San Miguel Golf Society at El Valle SAMM Sailors

Having cancelled the racing on May 22nd due to a Dragon Boat event at CTD the competitors arrived bright and early for the rescheduled racing on May 29th only to find that the wind had decided not to turn up. Despite this seven boats came to the start at 11.15am in the hope that the forecast 8 knots would make a showing.

But no, and the first group away, the day boats Conny, Sirocco and Mistral took 5 minutes to drift across the line but, 10 minutes later when the dinghies, Shoestrings Dos, Tres and Quarto plus the diminutive Rosita started there was a zephyr of a breeze from the west. This built to about 8 knots and backed south by the end of the four laps which took around 1 hour 20 minutes to complete.

A fine display of sailing by the crew of Conny in such light conditions gave her a win by just

89 seconds.

During the break the wind came in with a vengeance, blowing easterly 12 to 15 knots, only to swing back south by the 2.15pm start and gusting even

higher, kicking up a short chop

almost 1 meter high. Rosita had wisely decided not to sail and the conditions proved too much for Dos who capsized twice and retired. Tug Wilson and Pat Fleck in Tres were flying round the course and on line for a win when they also went over at the gibe mark on lap five.

They were soon up but lost enough time to push them back to last. Mistral also retired after lap five. The six laps took on average only 46 minutes to complete.

The result, another fine win

by Robert Hudson and Terry Cook (who was competing in his first ever SAMM race) on Conny.

The last time SMGS was at El Valle, some 8 months ago and the final round of previous Captain Phil de Lacy’s reign before officially handing over to Barry Roehrig, the yellow tee boxes were being worked on and so the men’s tees were brought well forward. This was reflected in the scoring, with quite a few players breaking 36 points.

The only lady to appear amongst the prize winners that day, with the ladies playing off the normal reds, was Marg Birtwistle, and she proved that it was no fluke by posting today’s best return of 38 points and dominating the Bronze category. Eva Pettersson made it two out of three for the fairer sex by winning Gold from Vice Captain Theo Boelhouwer. Only Alan Gilbert saved some manly pride with an excellent 37 points, taking Silver by a distance. Many were undone by the longish set-up, some devilish pin placings which saw putts running past flags and rolling off of greens, and, of

course, the positioning and frequency of what appears, on Murcian courses anyway, Jack Nicklaus’s ‘thing’ for bunkers.

Only 9 of the 39 members playing made it to 30 points or above.

In the day’s one singles match of this year’s SMGS match play competition, Ben Price defeated his Celtic cousin, Alan MacDonald, 3&2.

The stableford competition results, by category and in reverse order, were the following: Bronze Category: 5th Mick Roscoe (26), 4th Keith Wraithmell (29), 3rd Derek Johnston (31 on CB), 2nd Keith Stevenson (31 on CB) and 1st, with the day’s best score of 38

points, Marg Birtwistle.

Silver Category: 5th Ken Flaherty (27), 4th Paula Hagart (28), 3rd Mike Jordan (29 on CB), 2nd Terry Morris (29 on CB), and 1st Alan Gilbert, with a handicap beating 37 pts.

Gold Category: 5th John Aitchison (31 on CB), 4th Steve Higgins (31 on CB), 3rd Tony Smale (32 on CB), 2nd Theo Boelhouwer (32 on CB) and 1st Eva Pettersson (34).

The Abacus, a decent bottle of red, was won

by Kyree Skarsmoen, who may well be on his way to having a decent sized bodega.

Nearest the pins on the par 3’s (open to all) went to Geoff Giddy (6), Marg Birtwistle (9), Theo Boelhouwer (12) and Derek Johnston (15).

Our thanks go to the staff at El Valle for their contribution to an excellent day.

Jamie. No. Please, no. Don’t do it. Not so soon. The season is barely over and it looks like the most easily named starting eleven in Premier League history is about to be one man short.

clause and it looks like the speedster is off to North London. In some ways it is gut wrenching to hear, in others you can hardly blame the guy. For all we know, he might already know that Kante and Mahrez have moves lined up and doesn’t want to miss out. Equally, his move might spark the saddest break up of a trio since the Sugababes called it a day.

Manchester United were allegedly interested in Vardy, but felt there was much better value in paying Zlatan £250k a week to spearhead Mourinho’s Old Trafford revival. The Swede has agreed personal terms with United but

is apparently waiting for a chat with Jose to find out whether he will be the main man at the club. I cannot see United paying that kind of wage and playing him out of position, I mean look at Wayne Rooney. Oh. United are also keen on the Villarreal defender Bailly, which would make nicknames at Carrington a damn sight easier. With the English penchant for taking a surname, sticking a Y on the end of it and calling it a moniker, the Ivorian seems to have done it for them.

England drew their pre-tournament run to a close with an uninspiring 1-0 win over a Portugal team shorn of Ronaldo and down to ten men for an hour, following an attempt to decapitate Harry Kane. My favourite part of that episode was watching Kane get straight up again and chase after the ball, then complain the referee had not played an advantage. Pepe looked on, very confused at this act of fair play. England lined up with the diamond shape that many people, myself included, have been begging to see. It turned out to be somewhat unpolished after all the hype, Kane and Vardy often splitting too wide to leave a gap big enough for Wayne Rooney’s ears and ego. It is still worrying to note that Roy doesn’t seem to know what his best side is going into the tournament. Alli and Kane formed a great partnership playing near each other at Spurs, yet on this showing may as well be playing in different tournaments with the gap between them on the field.

Vardy, who benefitted massively from having Drinkwater look to play him in early at every available opportunity, has seen

his team-mate left out of the squad and is still waiting for Wilshere to pick him out first time. With Arsenal’s desire to overplay in midfield, I cannot see the Gunner getting into the habit of dinking it in behind in time for the game against Russia. Still, Roy knows best. Chris Smalling headed home the winner with a few moments left on the clock. It is worth remembering that England’s best performance in a foreign tournament was Italia 90, where Robson was pressganged into changing his formation by some senior players that weren’t keen on how they played against Ireland.

Maybe this group could do the same, even if it means excluding the captain from the chat.

Ronald Koeman seems to have grown bored of working for a very well run football club that has overachieved for the last few seasons and prefers a move to a club that has underachieved for the last few seasons.

It is hard to understand what their new billionaire owner with a transfer kitty never seen before on Merseyside has said to the Dutchman for him to think this is a wise move.
