On the 10th June, Mariano Rajoy the acting Prime Minister of Spain and the leader of the PP (centre right) visited Torrevieja.

Rajoy visits Torrevieja

H

is visit to Torrevieja was to kickstart his election campaign in the Valencian region. The local PP party chose the Real Club Náutico as the main venue for the rally as projecting a particularly good image of the town.

Rajoy is believed to have begun his campaign inTorrevieja because it is a marginal town and one in which the previous PP government was ousted at the last local election.

In anticipation of the leader’s arrival and to begin their own campaign, members of the PP in Torrevieja congregated in an open air celebration attended by more than 300 people.

rally. He visited the shop ‘María José’, which is one of the oldest in the city, to receive his ‘salt boat’ as a visitor. He then made his way with his entourage to Real Club Nautico where he was received by the Chairman, Germán Soler.

The ex-mayor, Eduardo Dolón opened the event with a short speech which was followed by speeches from José Manuel García Margallo (Alicante) and Isabel Bonig (Valencia). Finally, Rajoy addressed the crowd at the packed Real Club Náutico. During his stay he also found time to go for a run with the ex-mayor Eduardo Dolón at his side.

Rajoy’s itinerary Following his visit to Torrevieja his campaign will continue into Valencia and finally will end up in Madrid ready for the general election this year on continued on page 3

Around forty Podemos (anti-austerity) supporters were also out to begin pasting the posters which are traditionally displayed in the centre of the town.

Although a specific number are allocated to each party it seems as though some

parties will not be taking up their right to fill the billboards.

Both the PP and PSOE (centre left) have declared their intention of not using their space in order to save money. A gesture that some have suggested should

lead to the billboards being taken down rather than remaining stood empty and a temptation for fly-posters.

Podemos and Ciudadanos are still making use of the billboards

June 26th. The campaign lasts a total of fifteen days and Rajoy is believed to be targeting those voters who previously chose Ciudadanos (centre right) as opposed to the PP (centre right) party. He is concentrating his campaign on those areas where there is most chance of the PP increasing its vote with the potential to win back seats.

On Tuesday 14th Rajoy will be in Navarra, Teruel and Zaragoza and on Wednesday in Almeria and Granada. On Thursday 16th he travels to his homeland of Galicia and is expected to return to the town of Pontevedra where he was attacked during his last visit.

Other destinations during his campaign include Guadalajara, Tenerife, Lleida, Ciudad Real and Barcelona.

However, he will not be visiting Castilla y Leon, the Basque country, La Rioja or the cities of Ceuta and Melilla. The PP are anxious to capture back the votes in the marginal seats.

A fresh approach to manifesto publication During this rather lacklustre run up to the second general election, the antiausterity party Podemos has taken a rather brave and innovative step by publishing its manifesto in the style of an IKEA catalogue. On each page there are ‘homely’ pictures of a household interior with related inserts outlining their plans if they were to be elected. Whatever you think of their policies, it does present as a rather novel and accessible way of encouraging people to digest what they’re proposing.

Already this campaign seems like a slightly more muted one than that just before Christmas. Perhaps the anticipation that the outcome might not be all that different from before has contributed to an apathy amongst some that will hopefully not prevent them making it to the polling stations.

The event will feature on Facebook and you can like the page to receive regular updates.

Audouin gull colony The Audouin gull is a rare bird that has chosen Torrevieja to build a colony. In order to help monitor the birds some of the baby gulls born in 2016 are to be ringed in order to track their movements. The colony in Torrevieja now includes 1,730 pairs which makes it one of the main breeding grounds for this gull anywhere in the world. The ringing will give information to the scientific community to help them protect the species which can live up to 25 years.

arrested A paedophile who gained access to schools by passing as a student teacher, including schools in the province of Alicante, has been arrested in an undisclosed town in the province of Valencia.

Juan Rivera Pascual pretended to be an expert in education and went round primary schools all over the country, filming the centres and the pupils, and successfully posed as a knowledgeable online advisor helping parents choose schools. He went around public and private facilities, including British and bilingual schools.

In many cases, teaching staff have assured parents he did not go anywhere near the children, but others where he is known to have abused small children are being investigated.

Apparently harmless footage was uploaded onto his website, known as El Blog de Juanri, in which he claimed to be a 25-year-old student teacher, listed all the schools he had been visiting since 2014.

However, hard porn videos which Rivera had made himself, showing him raping children as young as seven, have been found in his home.

Most of the children had been abused on numerous occasions, and literally thousands of pictures and videos were uncovered when Rivera

was arrested. Police say the footage showing him assaulting children was ‘especially hardcore’ and that the victims came from schools all over the country.

Whenever 'Juanri' was questioned by parents as to what he was doing filming in the schools, he told them he was a teacher at the centre.

Starting with primary schools in the Comunidad Valenciana, he then moved onto Catalunya, Madrid, and eventually the rest of Spain – and even Colombia.

Videos he made were shared with paedophiles throughout Spain.

His ‘public’ blog was designed to ‘launder’ his image and show him as an innocent student teacher, covering his darker intentions. Some parents asked him via his site how he had managed to gain permission to publish so many photos and videos of children.

Others completely swallowed his ‘front’ and asked him questions about the schools he had visited, which he gave apparently feasible answers to.

He set up a ranking of the best schools, in his view, in the various regions in Spain, and even created a YouTube channel with interviews he held with children.

Rivera has been remanded in custody without bail at the notorious prison in Picassent, Valencia.

Waiting for reprieve from the EU At this time when all eyes are on the referendum, it is perhaps worth remembering how the EU can be a method of appeal to unfair and unreasonable practices in member states.

There is currently an ongoing EU investigation into the heavy fines being issued by the Spanish Tax Authority in relation to the Modelo 720. The investigation was opened in November 2015 by the European Commission as a result of complaints issued by law firms and tax advisers.

However, according to Blevins Franks, the investigation has been delayed as Spain asked for an extension on the period allocated for them to respond.

Spain was originally given two months to respond to the accusations but the extension has no specific deadline meaning that the investigation could continue for a long time to come.

Although the concept of requiring information about assets abroad might seem reasonable it is the huge fines that can result from a failure to report, late

reporting and inaccurate reporting that have raised concerns. Many people feel that these are disproportionate to the crime, particularly since the form itself and the legislation around it is so complex.

Some tax advisers have now stopped doing the 720 on behalf of their clients because of the complexity of the form and the subsequent threat of huge penalties if it is not completed correctly. Even small mistakes are liable to large fines, making it too much of a risk for some accountants.

NEW TOURISM WEBSITE The Councillor for Tourism, Sofia Alvarez, has launched the new website for the Department www.orihuelaturistica.es - which has up to date information about what to see and do in the municipality. The website has information on a wide range of subjects including: street maps, promotional leaflets and services as well as culture, nature, beaches, gastronomy and golf.

The Councillor said that this puts right a former deficiency in the service because the new website is available in Spanish (Castilian and Valencian) and

English, and soon will also be available in French and German.

The website was designed by a specialist company at an investment of €3,851, including the design, the first language and one year of technical support and maintenance. It is also compatible with the ‘Infotourist Platform’ and so can access tourism information from other municipalities in the Valencian Community, and likewise they can find out information about Orihuela.

Sofia Álvarez said that the new website has

more cyber protection, will meet the operational needs of use in any Tourism Office and offers flexible, intuitive information and highly visible content.

It also features other tourist products in Orihuela, like cultural heritage, Miguel Hernández, natural heritage, beaches, gastronomy and fiestas.

The portal has details on what to do, what to visit, where to sleep, where to eat, tourist routes, programmed events, businesses and services that are distinguished by their accreditation to Commitment to Tourist Quality (SICTED).

Payas sell out It was a sell out performance for Payas Dance Academy at the Virgen del Carmen cultural centre in Torrevieja on Saturday 11th June. Entitled ‘Colorin, colorado’ the two back to back performances displayed the many talents of the 150 participants.

Ticket sales also raised money for the charity GAEX (Grupo de Amigos Ex adictos) an association which represents the friends of ex-addicts. The group provide support for anyone who has an addiction and the president, Vicente Onteniente, also attended the evening’s performance.

All members of the dance school had opportunity to participate from children of three years old to adults. The show was based on a number of different fantasy stories including Pinocchio, Beauty and the Beast and Frozen and reinforced the message that we should still take time to enjoy fantasy literature and not just be stuck to our cell phones.

The mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón was in attendance along with councillors Africa Celdrán, Manuela Osuna, Tomás Ballester and Miguel Cano. Following the performance the directors of the Academy, Macu and Melanie, praised the cast and the parents for their contributions and support for the event.

Fifteen days cut from the summer holiday in Cantabria Parents often view with trepidation the approach of the summer holiday as schools break up. In Spain this happens earlier than in the UK with pupils out of their classrooms from June 21st this year. Students don’t return until usually the second week in September.

Almost three months during which they are away from their studies with perhaps little to do.

This issue has recently been raised by the Minister of Education in Cantabria, Ramón Ruiz, who has approved a new annual calendar with the teacher unions. This includes one week’s vacation every two months right through from infant to high school.

There has been some consternation amongst parents at the announcement as they were not directly informed of the change and only learned about it

and students will be more refreshed.’ In his view it is a debate that should be held across the whole country and not just in Cantabria.

Ruiz does have a background in education as a head teacher and education inspector. In an interview in El País Ruiz explained that the school calendar is currently unevenly distributed and that a threemonth summer holiday is too much.According to his plans, the summer holiday is to be reduced by 15 days.

The new timetable will see a more even distribution with the school year broken up similarly to that in the UK. The current system of three terms will be replaced by five half terms with a week’s holiday at the beginning of November. There will still

‘Where there is innovation there is always resistance to change. It will mean that the terms won’t be as long and students will be more refreshed.’

Minister of Education in Cantabria, Ramón Ruiz through its publication in the press.

In Cantabria there are 93,438 students and 318 schools that will be affected. The sudden introduction without consultation of the new calendar has angered the parents’ association there. The council, on the other hand, claim that this is something that has been debated previously.

Ramón Ruiz, launching this innovation,claims that the plans will benefit children and states that; ‘Where there is innovation there is always resistance to change. It will mean that the terms won’t be as long

be a total of 175 school days but they are to be arranged differently.

Parents are worried that the additional week’s holiday will just be crammed with more home work and that children will have even further reduction in the amount of time away from their studies. When asked about the timescale of the changes and the worry’s of parents Ruiz acknowledged that maybe they hadn’t communicated the plans clearly enough.

Residents fed up of Orihuela Costa neglect

Those living and with holiday homes in urbanisation, La Cinuelica R16, have joined forces to demand that the Town hall address the long-term neglect of the area.

R16 was the last of the La Cinuelica phases built by San Antonio/Eurohouse.

Part of the plan was that they were to complete Isla 1 and 2, and the park between the urbanisation and Isla 2.

These ‘Islas’ are the commercial centres located near to Carefor in Playa Flamenca.

After R16 was completed, and after many took title to their properties, but before Isla 2 and the park were completed, San Antonio/Eurohouse

declared bankruptcy.

Residents are bemused as to why new commercial developments are granted by the council without requiring property developers to pre-sell the space or at least be legally responsible to buy and complete the project. They are pragmatic enough to realise that at this moment in time not much can be done regarding la Isla 2. However, they believe that what the council can do something about is the park. This was nearly completed at the time of the bankruptcy in 2008, but little has been done since except that a local sports club has put up a fence around the basketball court.

After eight years of neglect local residents have had enough.

One homeowner, Frank Riley, said: “The park has been completely abandoned, it has fallen into disrepair and used for dog refuse. It has not been touched at all for years.

The park is just across the road from Zeniamar which is regularly maintained and cared for. I think they removed the weeds once a few years ago but it has all grown back, and last time we were here the weeds were like trees!”

“I have written numerous times over the years to the various people responsible on the Council and until now Martina Scheurer was the only one

to respond. She told me after investigation that the park had not been “officially” turned over to the council, and so they could not do anything about it.”

Residents were hopeful after Martina pledged to hep, although she did admit there were budget problems. However,

the Cost and to the Residents Office, at first there was a lack of response and certainly no commitment when they did get an answer. However, on 5th May Sofia Alvarez declared in an email that the ‘work will be done’ and that she would notify him of the date.

There has been no further Abandoned and unsightly

the new elections saw Martina lose her position as the PP took control of the municipality.

Final solution?

Since then Frank and his neighbours have sent several emails to Sofia Alvarez, the Councillor currently responsible for

correspondence from Sofia and so far no clean-up at the park, but residents are hopeful that the Councillor will be true to her word when she said in her email that she will arrange a date as ‘soon as possible’ and that she ‘work(s) every day to have the best area’.

Illegal nursing home closed down

The illegal residence in Santa Pola was closed down by the Guardia Civil following allegations made by one of the residents. The police discovered that the British family running the home were not only operating illegally but were taking the deeds to the residents’ property and persuading them to leave them their inheritance.

The establishment was run by a married couple in their late fifties and their 25 year old daughter who have now been charged with fraud and belonging to a criminal organisation. The investigation was initiated following the statements from various witnesses who claimed the existence of a clandestine nursing home being run from a house in the town.

Investigating the allegations, the police maintained surveillance for several weeks in order to build up the evidence to collaborate the statements that had been made. It was a difficult task to collect enough to prove who were workers in the establishment and who were residents and what their relationships were. The daughter used to work in a local chemists and was the person responsible for identifying potential residents. These were all people of an advanced age of British nationality who lived in the town, spoke no Spanish and had few or no close family members.

The owners of the home would convince them to join their establishment in exchange for a monthly fee of between €2,500 and €3,000 per resident. Once they

were admitted to the home they removed their documentation and deeds to their property which they kept in a safe. The owners then began to systematically persuade the residents that when they died they should inherit their property. Although there was evident malpractice in the intentions of their hosts, there was no evidence of abuse and the elderly residents appeared to have been treated appropriately. However, they were closely monitored if one of them received a visitor and mobile phones were removed on them entering the residence so that contact with the outside world was limited.

The residents were supervised constantly with the use of security cameras which were located throughout the premises. Eventually the authorities were alerted to the practice there when one of the residents, with the encouragement of family, got out of the house and the officers were able to collate the evidence to corroborate what was happening.

The home had five rooms altogether which were almost always occupied and were appropriately furnished for their intake. However, health and safety measures were not evident and it is estimated that the home had been running in this capacity for the past three years. The people hired to help in the home by the family were not qualified to take care of the residents and were told not to disclose any information.

Emergency centre promised, again A meeting regarding the Orihuela Costa Emergencies Centre took place at the end of last week and it seems there may be light at the end of the tunnel for the long-awaited facility. The development of the Centre was abandoned after the builders went bust in 2012 – leaving just the concrete skeleton - and since then residents of the coast have been demanding that it be finished in order that the coast can finally be provided with its own dedicated 24-7 fire and ambulance services.

During the recent meeting between Orihuela Mayor Emilio Bascuñana and the Director General of the Security and Emergency Response Agency, José María Ángel Batalla, the Director set a deadline of 31st July to sort out the administrative problems.

He said that a new project could be drawn up in September and then put out to tender. With this in

Orihuela Costa can take up to 40 minutes to attend emergency calls and that they often get lost on the way because of unfamiliarity with the confusing, unplanned layout of Orihuela Costa.”

Hall of Orihuela now needs to be fully involved in discussing the important details of how the new centre will function and exactly which services will be located there. This is an opportunity, for example, to reduce the bureaucratic hassle of local residents who have to go to Torre de la Horadada to deal with Guardia Civil problems. It is also hoped that the new centre should be fully equipped with closed circuit television facilities to supervise traffic black spots and areas where there are disturbances caused by irresponsible behaviour at local entertainment centres. Torrevieja has sophisticated equipment in their facilities to provide such

mind, he assured the Mayor that the centre could be a reality in 18 months.

The delegation then visited the site with the Mayor keen to point out that a dedicated Emergency Centre would improve security and healthcare services for the population of Orihuela Costa, which multiplies in the summer months.

The new centre will house the police forces and emergency services in such a way that they can respond rapidly should they be needed.

The duo agreed to meet again this week to continue the collaboration and too speed up the process as much as possible to ensure the facility becomes a reality sooner, rather than later.

The announcement has met with approval from coastal political party CLARO. A CLARO spokesman said: “The resident population of Orihuela Costa, some 30,000, plus an influx of up to 200,000 more in summer months, not to mention the tens of thousands who visit the La Zenia Boulevard Commercial Centre daily, make it absolutely necessary to have adequate, locally situated police services, the Guardia Civil, ambulances and fires services. We have been campaigning for an emergency Services Centre for many years.It is scandalous that Orihuela Costa with its, huge population of residents and visitors does not have a local police station open 24 hours a day.

It is typical of the neglect of the coast that when the Playa Flamenca office of the Town Hall closes at 3pm, the local police station consists of a patrol car with a mobile telephone. It is scandalous too that ambulances and fire services coming from outside

supervision.

The Orihuela Town Hall will also need to study closely the traffic implications of locating these vital emergency services in the centre of an area close to La Zenia roundabout and Avenue Villamartin, which is notoriously congested since the opening of Zenia Boulevard Commercial Centre. The added presence of police cars and emergency services vehicles such as ambulances and fire engines could make matters worse unless they are offset by measures to alleviate the traffic on theses main routes.

For example; there are plans for a parallel road to the N332 which would decongest the La Zenia roundabout and Avenue Villamartin area and removing tolls on the AP-7 motorway would be another major contribution to reducing congestion on the N332 in the La Zenia area caused by motorists leaving the motorway to avoid toll charges.

The CLARO spokesman concluded: “We will be vigilant in keeping the local and regional authorities to their word in fulfilling the plans for the much needed and long awaited Emergency Services Centre. This is a crucial piece of civic infrastructure needed to correct Orihuela Costa’s deficient municipal services. We must make sure it is well executed and does not exacerbate existing traffic problems which already adversely affect local residents and business owners. We have had enough experience of what can go wrong in the case of the ill thought out scheme for cycle lanes.”

Obama to visit Spain in July arack Obama’s first visit to Spain as president will take place after the NATO summit. This will be the first time in 15 years that an American president has made an official visit to Spain.

After delaying it for years, US President Barack Obama will finally make an official visit to Spain. Obama will make a stop in the country between 9th and 11th July, after attending a NATO summit in the Polish city of Warsaw. He is scheduled to meet with acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and with Spain’s King Felipe VI. It will be a meeting between an acting head of government and a president who is counting down the months before elections in his own country. Even so, Spanish diplomatic sources said that Obama’s visit “is of great relevance to Spain, because it will represent a very positive balance for the last few years of bilateral relations and it will reinforce the relationship with a view to the coming years.”

It would have been an anomaly for Obama to leave the White House without once visiting Spain. Since the days of Richard Nixon, every president has come here, the last being George W. Bush in June 2001.

“Given that Obama is about to reach his eighth year of service in the White House, it was very odd for him not to have come to Madrid yet, especially considering that [Spanish royals] Don Felipe and Doña Letizia visited Washington in September 2015, with the US being one of their first destinations as King and Queen of Spain,” said Charles Powell, director of the think tank Real Instituto Elcano, in an email. The US ambassador to Spain, James Costos,

issued a statement celebrating Obama’s visit.

“US President Barack Obama’s upcoming visit to Spain represents an important step forward in the United States’ relationship with Spain,” said the

economic relationship, and longstanding people-to-people ties,” said White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest.

While that statement only says that Obama will meet with “His Majesty the King of Spain and the Acting President of

press release. “Spain is one of our oldest and closest allies, from the defense and security of our citizens to trade and investment.”

Military agenda Obama’s agenda also includes a private visit to Seville, and a public event at one of the two military bases that the US has in Rota (Cádiz) and Morón de la Frontera (Seville).

“The visit to Spain, an important NATO Ally, will highlight robust security cooperation, a strong political and

Spain,” the Spanish Foreign Ministry specifically mentions Mariano Rajoy.

Spain, which has been under a caretaker government since the inconclusive elections of 20th December, will vote again on 26th June. Rajoy is expected to win again, though not by a large enough margin to form a government without support from other parties. The Spanish Foreign Ministry also noted that Obama’s visit, which comes six months before the end of his presidential term, is the result of a personal invitation from King Felipe VI.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE Sterling felt the weight of several EU referendum opinion polls released over the weekend: both indicating the Leave campaign has nudged into the lead ahead of the 23 June vote. A YouGov poll for ITV placed Leave ahead on 45 to 41 per cent, while a new poll by Opinium for The Observer showed the Leave camp has a three point lead on 43 to 40 per cent.

In terms of the pounds relationship with the single currency, this Brexit friendly data served to squeeze the GBP/EUR rate down by 0.7% to 1.26 on Monday. A significant development when we consider the rate was above 1.31 towards the end of May. The Federal Reserve chairperson's speech on Monday evening went very much as expected. Janet Yellen conceded that last week's soft payrolls data were "disappointing" and failed to reiterate her expectation of higher interest rates "in the coming months". So there will be no increase this month.

Ms Yellen's caution came as no surprise and had little effect on the US dollar.

Wednesday's gross domestic product data put Euroland ahead of the States and Britain in the growth stakes. While the economy of the UK expanded by 0.4% in the first quarter, and that of the US by 0.2%, the euro zone expanded by 0.6%.

The GDP figures - the week's only top-tier €Z ecostats - helped explain why the euro was able to add one and a half US cents and to strengthen by a cent and a quarter against the pound over the week.

It was not exactly a triumph for the euro though. It was flattered by the weakness of the pound and the dollar; against all the other major currencies it was lower. The dollar's problem was a disappointing set of US employment data, which dashed hopes of an interest rate increase this month.

Sterling's handicap was - and remains - the upcoming referendum on Britain's EU membership.

Under normal circumstances the wave of positive UK economic data released this week would have lent considerable support to the pound: • Halifax House Price Index 0.6% vs. 0.3% forecast (Tuesday) • Manufacturing m/m 2.3% vs. 0.0% forecast (Wednesday), • Industrial Production m/m 2.0% vs. 0.0% forecast (Wednesday) • NIESR GDP Estimate 0.5% up from 0.4% (Wednesday) • Goods Trade Balance -10.5B vs. -11.1B forecast (Thursday) • Construction Output m/m 2.5% vs. 1.5% forecast (Friday) What’s more, the result of the latest Bank of England survey released on Friday indicates more British people think the central bank will raise interest rates over the next year than three months ago, as they see inflation picking up.

However, this positive outlook for the UK economy was emphatically undermined by the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the EU referendum, following the Leave friendly opinion polls the previous weekend. With investors wary of life outside of the EU, such pro-Brexit sentiment has caused them to take flight from the pound in favour of the euro.

European Central Bank President Mario Draghi urged European governments to play their part in boosting growth and inflation in the region, warning that a lack of economic reforms is making the ECB’s job harder. The ECB has unleashed a sweeping range of stimulus measures in recent years, from negative interest rates to more than a trillion euros of bond purchases. But inflation remains far short of the central bank’s target of just below 2%, coming in at minus 0.1% last month.

Brexit causes cash exit According to economic and financial experts tens of billions of pounds are leaving the UK ahead of EU referendum. New evidence has revealed that investors are shifting tens of billions of Pounds out of British assets due to the upcoming vote.

Around £65bn left the UK or was converted into another currency between March and April, the fastest rate since the 2009 financial crisis. The figures have been published by the Bank of England and are

the first proof of capital flight from the UK. Capital flight describes when vast amounts of money rapidly leave a country due to fears of economic instability.

From November to April, £77bn left the sterling system – the figure for the previous six months was just £2bn.

The Bank of England has consistently warned of stark economic consequences in the event of Brexit.

The British public go to the polls on June 23.

Primark proves a hit in Spain Primark, the low-cost fashion retailer we all love, is celebrating a decade in Spain and claiming that it now has more customers than either one of its main competitors, Zara and H&M. The Irish chain employs 6,000 workers in Spain, where it has more than 40 stores. The first one opened in Madrid 10 years ago at a shopping mall called Plenilunio. Spain is also where the fashion giant decided to establish its second-largest store in the world, located on Madrid’s Gran Vía and second in size only to the one in Manchester, in the United Kingdom. People lined up for up to an hour to get into the store on its opening day last October, and for three days after that.

Locally shoppers of all nationalities welcomed the opening of Primark at Zenia Boulevard and the shops till haven’t stopped ringing since.

According to figures offered by the consulting firm Kantar Worldpanel, Primark is now Spain’s leading fashion retailer by number of customers: 8.9 million people made purchases at their establishments in 2015, followed by Zara with 8.2 million, H&M with 6.5 million and C&A with 4.8 million.

Primark is now eyeing the Basque city of Bilbao, where it plans to open a store in the downtown area after reaching a rental deal with BBVA bank.

Although Inditex (the parent company of Zara),

H&M and Primark compete in the same market, the latter sells at lower prices and does not have any expensive items on its catalogue.

In recent years, Primark has also been in the headlines for being one of 28 companies that worked with a Bangladeshi factory that collapsed in 2013, killing more than 1,100 people. The tragedy showcased the terrible working conditions of the people making the company’s clothes. Primark donated nearly €8 million to the victims’ families and announced improved working conditions.

Pure vanilla, with its wonderful aromatic flavour, is the most widely used flavouring in icecream, pastries, confections, and other desserts. It is the second most expensive spice in the world, next to saffron, because growing the vanilla seed pods is labour-intensive.

VANILLA is one of the most complex tastes in the world, with over 250 organic components creating its unique flavour and aroma. And as much as flavour chemists try, the cheaper synthetic vanillas on the market today do not come close to competing with pure vanilla.

History: As you learn about vanilla you start to appreciate why it is so expensive. It begins with a cream-coloured orchid, the only orchid of about 20,000 varieties that bears anything edible.

Vanilla was completely unknown in the Old World before Columbus.

Spanish and Portuguese explorers arriving on the Gulf Coast of Mexico in the early sixteenth century brought vanilla into Africa and Asia later that century. The word "vanilla" comes from the Spanish word "vainilla" which means "little pod" or "little sheath", referring to the pod's long thin shape.

Native only to Mexico it took until the 19th century for botanists to figure out how it could be grown commercially in other tropical climates.

The vines would grow, but would not fruit outside of Mexico. The problem was that this orchid, in order to produce the vanilla pods (beans), needs to be pollinated by a specific Melipone bee found only in Mexico (abeja de monte or mountain bee). This bee provided Mexico with a 300 year long monopoly on Vanilla production and it wasn't until “hand pollination” of the flowers was developed that vanilla could be successfully grown in other places.

Biology: The thick, green vanilla orchid vine (Vanilla planifolia) grows wild on the edge of the Mexican tropical forests.

The vines will grow up to the top of tall trees in the jungle. Left alone, it will grow as high as possible on the support, with few flowers. Every year, growers fold the higher parts of the plant downwards so that the plant stays at heights accessible by a standing human. This also greatly stimulates flowering. Three years are required for cuttings to grow enough to produce flowers and subsequent pods. Not all the flowers are hand

pollinated though. They are thinned out so as to guarantee good quality beans, albeit fewer in quantity. A vine remains productive between 12 and 14 years.

The flowers are hermaphroditic: carrying both male (anther) and female (stigma) organs, however, a membrane separates those organs. Workers lift the membrane with a small splinter of wood or a grass stem, then, using the thumb, transfers the pollen from the anther to the stigma. The flower, selfpollinated, will then produce a fruit.

The vanilla flower lasts about one day, sometimes less, and so, growers have to inspect their plantations every day for open flowers, a labour-intensive task.

Cultivation: Should you wish to try growing your own vanilla, it requires a lot of patience and work and you will need to imitate its natural habitat: Vanilla grows best in hot, humid climates from sea level to an elevation of 1500 m. The ideal growing conditions are moderate rainfall, 150300 cm, evenly distributed through 10 months of the year. The optimum temperatures for cultivation are 1530°C (59-86°F) during the day and 1520°C (59-68°F) during the night. Ideal humidity is around 80%. Soils for vanilla cultivation should be loose with high organic matter content and loamy texture. They must be well drained, and a slight slope helps in this condition.

In the tropics, the ideal time for planting vanilla is from September to November, when the weather is neither too rainy nor too dry. Cuttings take 1 to 8 weeks to establish roots and show initial signs of growth from one of the leaf axils. A thick mulch of leaves should be provided immediately after planting as an additional source of organic matter.

Harvest and curing After hand pollination, the flowers develop into long thin green pods or beans that can grow up to 12 inches

(30 cm) long. Average length is about 8 inches (20 cm) long. The vanilla bean grows quickly on the vine, but is not ready for harvest until maturity approximately ten months.

Harvesting vanilla beans is as labour intensive as pollinating the blossoms.

Each bean ripens at its own time, requiring a daily harvest. To ensure the finest flavour from every bean, each individual pod must be picked by hand just as it begins to split on the end.

Vanilla needs a process of curing similar to cacao to develop its characteristic aroma. Several methods exist in the market for curing vanilla; nevertheless all of them consist of four basic steps: killing, sweating, slowdrying, and conditioning of the beans.

The beans are first plunged into hot water to stop the vegetative growth of

the pods and initiate enzymatic reactions responsible for the aroma.

The sweating process consists of wrapping the beans in woolen cloth to raise the temperature of the beans under sunlight conditions for one hour, for up to 10 days. During the remaining time, the pods are stored in wooden boxes under air-tight conditions. These conditions allow enzymes to catalyze the reactions involved in generating the characteristic vanilla colour, flavour and aroma. To prevent rotting and to lock the aroma in the pods, the pods

are then dried. Often, pods are laid out in the sun during the mornings and returned to their boxes in the afternoons. Finally, the beans are aged to bring out their full flavour. The entire curing process can take up to two years.

During this process the beans become a very dark brown colour and develop a white crystalline substance (or frost) on the outside of the bean, called vanillin.

The vanillin is what gives the beans their wonderful flavour and aroma. The cured vanilla beans contain an average of 2.5% vanillin. Vanilla is graded into different categories, mostly depending on the length of the bean, since there is a correlation between length and vanillin content. Once dried and cured the vanilla pods need to be kept airtight to retain their wonderful flavour.

Summary: 3 years for cuttings to grow enough to produce flowers and subsequent pods, then daily hand pollination followed by a wait of about 10 months for the pods to mature, then daily harvesting by hand, and finally, a curing process lasting up to 2 years. Now you know why true vanilla is so expensive…

Horse show sensation We caught up with Brooke Parker Saxon this week, a rising star on the equestrian circuit, to find out more about her horse shows.

We asked Brooke how she first became involved with horses. She told us, “As a little girl I always had a fascination with horses, I was lucky enough to start riding when I was 8 years old at a local riding school, I have been addicted ever since!”

Brooke continued, “I love all

equestrian disciplines, particularly dressage. I took a grooms position for a friend of mine, Emma Tytherleigh. I would help her prepare her horses for all sorts of shows all over the country. As I got older she gave me head groom position and started to teach me different tricks. Last year we went to Turkey to train horses for another show and came back to Spain to perform for the summer.”

Describing her current show, Brooke told us, “The show was created by Emma in 2011, every year she has changed

small details and added different acts to make it interesting for returning audiences. This year she had a dream job opportunity so I have taken her place

alongside Antonio Piqueras while she is away. This is my chance in the spotlight!”

We asked Brooke if she found this new challenge difficult or daunting and she told us, “I am very lucky to have so many people supporting me, every show I take friends to help me and Antonio prepare for the show. There is a lot of work that goes on to prepare the shows. Horses are a full time job, they need us to take care of them and train with them every day.

Horses are my life and you never stop learning with them. They too are artists in their own right and we choose this life for them so it is our priority to make sure they get everything they need and more to create happy athletes.”

About her training regime, Brooke told us, “I ride every day but practice trick riding a few times a week. I would like to practice every day but it is strenuous work for the horse and it is important to practice different disciplines with them to keep them interested and fit. I am still

only at the beginning of my trick riding career and I am looking forward to Emma’s return so I can learn more.”

Brooke continued, “I am very blessed to be able to turn my passion into my work. Horses for me are a passion and a lifestyle, I couldn’t do without them! Trick riding is great fun, when you hear the audience cheering for you the adrenaline rush is amazing. I also love what I do because it is a brilliant demonstration of the strong relationship, bond and trust between me and my horse.”

In terms of her plans for the future, Brooke told us; “I have various events booked for the summer, keep an eye on my Facebook page for more details (search for Brooke Parker Saxon on Facebook). The future is looking very bright at the moment, nothing is certain yet but I have been presented with a few exciting opportunities for the near future. We will jsut have to wait and see!”

Brooke’s next show is at Casa La Pedrera on June 26th at 6pm.

Plane crash law suit The Father of an opera singer killed in the Germanwings air crash is to sue the co-pilot's doctor. The father and grandfather of two of the victims of the tragedy which killed all the passengers and crew has filed legal action against the doctor treating copilot Andreas Lubitz, who locked himself into the cockpit and brought the plane down.

The craft, which was flying to Düsseldorf in northern Germany from Barcelona, was deliberately crashed in the French Alpes by Lubitz, who was suicidal after learning his eye condition – a detached retina – would probably mean an end to his career ambitions of becoming a captain on long-haul flights with Germanwings' parent company, Lufthansa.

A German citizen, 61, whose daughter – the famous opera singer Maria Radner – and grandson, Frau Radner's 18-month-old baby lost their lives in the air disaster says Lubitz's doctor had an ‘exhaustive clinical history’ of the co-pilot’s psychiatric problems and suicidal tendencies and was therefore fully aware of his condition on the day he brought down the plane killing all 150 on board.

Maria Radner’s father’s solicitors say Lubitz's doctor did not inform air security authorities, nor the airline itself, of her patient's problems – and in situations like this, the principle of professional confidentiality does not apply, since adhering to it could put the patient himself, and others, in danger.

Herr Radner had already filed action against Lufthansa's in-house medical

Maria Radner

service and Germany’s air security authorities for negligence a few weeks before suing Lubitz’s medical practitioner.

According to reports by the French prosecution after the tragedy, Lubitz had been seen on over 40 occasions by various doctors in relation to depression and psychiatric disorders, was known to be suicidal, and had been signed off sick on the day of the crash.

Lubitz had torn up his sick notes, which were found in his house later, and had not told his employers that he was signed off.

Rotterdam is a municipality and city in the Dutch province of South-Holland, situated in the west of The Netherlands and part of the Randstad.

The municipality is the second largest in the country (behind Amsterdam), with a population of approximately 600,000 people and over 1.3 million inhabitants

in its metropolitan area.

The port of Rotterdam is the largest in Europe. From 1962 to 2004, it was the world's busiest port; then it was superseded by Shanghai. Now Rotterdam is the fourth biggest port in the world.

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

bernie.comaskey@gmail.com

In the name of the Father, and of the referee and of the two linesmen, Amen This year’s English Premiership concluded in a welter of the most unexpected emotion and excitement … all great entertainment for us sports fans. Whilst this columnist proclaims to be an unapologetic sports fanatic, I am more than well aware that sport is nonetheless only a part of a wellbalanced manner of living. Sport may be critically important for a healthy society – but leaving all codding and joking aside, it is not the most important thing in the world. Is, for example, religion more important than sport? If not then, has soccer replaced religion with millions of people?

Staying with the Premiership for the moment, all the evidence would suggest that a football match has come to represent the only outward expression of religious leanings for hordes of people. The last sub coming onto the pitch, on the final day of the Premiership, touched the grass as he ran on and blessed himself three times.

No inhibitions here, no selfconsciousness –and nothing unusual at soccer matches these days. I passed a remark to Mrs Youcantbeserious at the time, that this was probably the last time I would see a man bless himself in

public, outside of a church, until the Premiership resumes in August – or at least the Euros. Now take a look tomorrow and when the angelus bell rings out from the cathedral, how many people on the streets of Mullingar will pause and bless themselves. Not many: As a nation we have gone ridiculously allergic to demonstrating any sign of our Christian culture.

Yes, I too am that ordinary man in the street.

Not so in soccer. A high number of players will make the sign of the cross before the kick-off.

Then when the most blessed player among them scores a goal he may very well point his finger to the high heavens and mouth a prayer of thanksgiving.

This isn’t only in the English Premiership, but it is even more pronounced in the Spanish La Liga – and I’m sure in several European and South American leagues.

This would be fine if the same religious

fervour was practiced in the rest of those young men’s lives – but I very much doubt it. Obviously these obscenely over-paid sportsmen are of the belief that God does exist, but that he hasn’t the remotest interest in anything on this Earth other than the game of soccer.

The fans have bought into this new soccer religion in this modern secular culture.

The Church has been devalued and demoted.

The inbuilt human need for devotion to a higher power hasn’t gone away you know, so the fans channel their adoration to the shrine of the soccer stadium.

Ireland is a leader in English Premiership soccer devotion. Well, we are inherently both a religious and sports loving nation. The reason I say we are leaders is because there are thousands of converts, dressed in the appropriate garb and promoting multinational teams representing English

cities that they never set foot in. Same thing as Roman Catholics having never been to Rome, I suppose. Those fans who do make it to their football mecca will show you what faith is all about.

Watch the crowd behind the goal when a penalty is about to be taken. Just take note of how many will be blessing themselves. It depends on the colour of the shirt as to whether they are calling on God to help them score or drive it a mile wide.

Now this blessing of oneself during soccer matches is not to be confused with the old and genuine tradition of GAA players blessing themselves before a match. This was simply asking God to keep them free of injury and would be executed on the strict instructions of a mammy – especially when playing against Brownstown.

Political correctness has practically done away with public expressions of Christianity in Ireland - lest nonChristians be ‘offended’. But bizarrely, the Muslims among us are being encouraged to give outward expression to their religion. Do Muslims show the same reluctance to ‘offend’ Christians in their country? Are Irish people offended by a Hindu festival in India, for example?

I don’t think so. It seems that the only place that nobody will be offended, embarrassed, or self-conscious by the sign of the cross is to confine it to the football stadia. Not so very long ago, nobody sat down to a meal without making the sign of the cross – and there was an awful lot less on the table in those days.

Before I finish, I have a funny incident for you. My granddaughter, Ciara, then aged four (‘and a half!’), had to overnight in hospital. Next to her was a Muslim child of the same age and naturally both sets of parents chatted away to each other. The Muslim mother asked Ciara if she would sing a song. Ciara prides herself on her singing and needed no further encouragement. ‘Jesus loves you …

Jesus …Jesus … Jesus’, she rose on it.

The Muslims laughed and clapped for ages. Surely a lesson…?

A man has no more religion than he acts out in his life

Young horse lover raises hundreds for rescue centre

A young Victoria

A young Marbella student who threw her energy into fundraising for the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre has won a charity competition hosted by her school.

Victoria Sagidullina is a student of Laude San Pedro International College in Marbella, where as part of a study into persuasion each groups of five were asked to pick a charity and present its cause. Classmates then voted for the project they believed deserved the most support.

Victoria absolutely loves horses and chose to present the Rojales rescue centre despite living 500km away in Marbella.

Victoria's mum, Maria said: “I feel like she has changed since she came across the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre. She feels so deeply about the charity.”

Victoria passed the classroom challenge with flying colours and was then named one of six winners, which means she was awarded a €250 prize for the rescue centre – enough to feed two rescued horses for an entire month.

The students actually fundraised this money, and more, themselves. The kitty was then distributed between the students' chosen charities. The funds were raised through the local community and in the majority of cases the students approached local businesses and explained the project and chosen charities and simply asked for a donation.

Maria said: “Victoria presented the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre at a seminar for local business people, with about 50 people present, and got some great prizes like 'dinner for two' at one of the best restaurants, vouchers for local shops, a

gorgeous necklace from a local designer, and a three-month advertising radio campaign worth €1,200.”

Victoria even went on RTV Marbella radio last month to talk about her project.

Rescue centre co-founder Sue Weeding said: “We're so pleased to see young people getting involved in animal welfare here in Spain and trying to make a difference. It really does make all the hard work we do feel worthwhile.

“We would like to thank Victoria for her support and for helping to spread our message far and wide. She really is a very special girl, and we hope to meet her one day soon and introduce her to all our horses.”

The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, located just outside Rojales at Partido Lo Garriga, 59, opens to the public on the first Sunday of every month between 1pm and 4pm. Free horse tours run throughout the afternoon and refreshments are available in the café. For more details and directions, please visit www.easyhorsecare.net.

Brexit could result in joint Gibraltar sovereignty Spain's foreign minister has revived the idea of sharing sovereignty over Gibraltar with Britain if Brexit happens, saying it would allow the Rock to maintain access to the European Union.

Nestled on the southern tip of Spain, the tiny British overseas territory is eyeing the upcoming 23rd June referendum on whether Britain should leave the EU with alarm.

At stake is a thriving services-based economy that relies in large part on access to the EU’s single market, and a sovereignty spat with Spain it believes threatens its only land access to the continent.

Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo told Spanish radio that if Britons voted to leave the EU, “it is obvious that Gibraltar also leaves the European Union, and won't therefore have access to the single market”.

Margallo, who is a strident supporter of the Rock coming back under Spanish control centuries after it was ceded to

Britain in 1713, said solutions would have to be found to “allow Gibraltar to have a link with the European Union.”

He raised the possibility of “shared sovereignty during an extended period of time,”

reviving a joint-sovereignty proposal etched out between the two countries in 2001 and 2002.

The proposal was binned after Gibraltarians rejected it en masse in a November 2002 referendum.

Gibraltar's leader Fabian Picardo has warned that Britain leaving the EU would be a ‘disaster’ for the tiny territory.

Earlier this year, he told Spanish news agency AFP he was “concerned that it would mean that our current economic model would not be sustainable”.

Picardo said he was also worried Spain may seize the opportunity to threaten the land border between the two a long-time flashpoint in the sovereignty row between London and Madrid.

Spain's dictator Francisco Franco went as far as closing the crossing in 1969, all but stranding inhabitants who had to rely on air and boat links until it was fully reopened in 1985.

Relations have ebbed and flowed since, but the past four years have seen tension resurface under Spain's acting conservative government.

Apart from sovereignty claims, the ruling Popular Party also bristles at tobacco smuggling across the border and accuses Gibraltar of being a corporate tax haven.

In one particularly belligerent row over disputed waters, Spanish authorities upped border checks in 2013, creating hours-long logjams and forcing the European Commission to wade in and ease the crisis.

Sole agent or multi-listing?

(Part 4) Rebecca Serwotka – Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada.

So it has taken a while, but finally you’ve come to the decision that now is the right time to sell your home.

You’ve enjoyed lots of fun times and can share some great memories, but now the time has come to move on with your book of life and start a new chapter somewhere else. “Where do we start?” “Who do we use?” “We’ve never sold property in Spain before!” I hear these comments every day and reassure all of our clients that by choosing the right Estate Agent, your concerns will be put to rest by the end of the listing appointment.

I always advise sellers to be ready for their appointment with pen and paper. It is helpful to you the seller, to have your questions written down ready to go point by point. By going through your list, will not only put your minds at rest, but it will help the Estate Agent too as they will be able to understand your worries and can guide you through the whole process.

Some Estate Agents offer multi-listing options whilst others like us, are Sole Agents. Multi-listing means that if you choose to list your property for sale with numerous agents, you’ll often find yourself doing all of the leg work and not really using the services of the Estate Agent you have chosen to represent you. You don’t want to go running between agent to agent notifying each and every one of the times when you can’t be reached whilst on holiday or your potential price reduction. Not only is it time consuming but it’s also causing you to do the work. But the worst is not

knowing exactly who has your keys!

The one agent you choose should know your home inside out, but enlisting numerous agents at the same time may not allow them to fully concentrate on your home. You can’t blame them, it’s so time consuming just making sure the price they have on your home is the same as every other agent is a full time job in itself.

If your agent knows your home well enough, with just one phone call from a potential buyer, they should be able to recall the street, features of the home and most importantly the price.

With a Sole Agent, they do work harder to sell the home because they’re the ones doing all of the marketing and not sitting back relying on the expertise of others. They can’t rely on other Agents selling it on their behalf. Not only is their commission on the line, but their reputation too. Another upside to being with one agent is you know exactly who has your house keys. They are the only ones accountable for accessing your home.

So whether you decide to go “solo” or “multi”, choosing the right Estate Agent should make the complete selling experience as stress free as possible. If you think its expensive hiring a professional to sell your home, try hiring an amateur!

Think property?

Think us, because life’s complicated enough! See our advert in the centre pages of this newspaper. www.homes4u.es

Update on the park Mallorca Following their campaign to have the work to the La Siesta/El Chaparral park continued, members of the support group met on 19th May with the

councillor for parks, Domingo Soler, and the director of the Office for International Residents, Carlos González.

The council in Torrevieja were presented months ago with unpaid invoices for the work done on the park prior to the local elections last May. No further work can continue on the park until these unpaid bills are cleared. Councillor Soler explained to those present that the council hopes to do this before the end of June. This will then signal the finalisation of the previous project and the go ahead to consider what the next actions might be.

The councillor told those at the meeting that he would like the park to be for local residents. The park will be open during the day but closed at

night to prevent it being subject to vandalism and people using it as a venue for drinking alcohol. Whatever arrangements and decisions are made for the park he clearly made the point that millions of euros would not be spent on it.

The plans for the park which the current council has are much more modest than those previously anticipated.

It is expected that there will be a consultation about exactly what they should consist of but it is likely that the final park will consist of a green area with trees.

During the meeting, questions were raised about how the park will be maintained once it is completed.

Councillor Soler indicated a commitment to the cleaning and pruning of the trees. The pillars at the entrance to the park are to be taken down as the iron posts which support them are rusting away.

Those attending the meeting acknowledged that it was important to maintain communication and that there should be a regular meeting involving the support group and council representatives to take place at the town hall. In the meantime problems with the park and security can be reported to the local police who will, in turn, contact the appropriate person at the town hall.

mansion for Brad

Hollywood heat throb Brad Pitt has joined the long list of celebrities to buy a villa in Mallorca, paying €3.5 million for a property in Port d’Andratx, some 25 kilometers west of the capital, Palma, according to real estate agent Alessandro Proto.

“Brad Pitt fell in love with the Balearic Islands after filming his latest movie in the Canaries, and he tasked us with finding him a house in Mallorca,” said Proto.

Pitt spent a weekend in Andratx during a break from shooting World War II movie Allied in the Canary Islands with French actress Marion Cotillard.

The local media reported that the pair were seen together in Mallorca.

Paparazzi have since surrounded Pitt’s new seaside property in an upscale development in Andratx’s marina, but so far there have been no sightings of the actor.

Among the other A-list celebrities to acquire homes on the Mediterranean island in recent years are Michael Douglas, although his exclusive property at S’Estaca, on the island’s north coast, is up for sale at €50 million.

German supermodel Claudia Schiffer is also a long-time Mallorca property owner, while tennis player Boris Becker has sold his house in the north of the island.

THE FEMININE ARCHANGEL GABRIEL Who are the Archangels?

Many of you will have heard of the Archangels, but may not know which Archangel to invoke when needing help of any kind. So I thought I would introduce you to Archangel Gabriel, who, like all Archangels, radiates divine love and light in specific ways to everyone on Earth. I call these their 'Magical Correspondences'.

The Archangels can move up and down the Celestial Ladder at will, and can work with people of all different beliefs, religions and paths. They will work with anyone who calls upon their divine assistance.

Because the Archangels are close to earth and humankind (in terms of the Hierarchy of Angels or Nine Choirs of Angels), they will interact with us once we ask for their help. There is no requirement to pray to the Archangels, or to worship them. Just to believe in their presence and allow them to set the The Bible Gabriel, along with Michael, are the only two Archangels mentioned in the Bible.

Gabriel assisted Daniel in interpreting his visions. When Gabriel tells Zechariah of

his future son John the Baptist, Zechariah cannot believe it because he felt that he and his wife Elizabeth were too old to bear children. However, the Archangel reassures him and said "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God and I have been sent to speak to you and tell you this good news. Gabriel then appeared to Mary and says "Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy" as she describes Mary's future son, Jesus Christ.

Archangel Gabriel The archangel Gabriel is a feminine angel and can be seen as both male and female although when I see Gabriel, it is always in female form. She is the one who is known and loved by all children through the Christmas story and the Christian Nativity. Gabriel is second only to Michael, and her name means Governor of Light, or ‘Strength of God‘. She is often depicted carrying an olive branch – the universal symbol of peace. As the feminine Archangel she is the protector of pregnancy and childbirth, and she is also strongly associated with the pagan Goddess. She is the angel of resurrection, mercy, mysteries revealed and

peacemaking. However, she is also used to put a stop to bad doings and criminal activity and can help with spells that reflect this. One of her main magical attributes is that she can assist in spells of transformation. So call on Gabriel to increase your confidence, break bad habits, become more positive, increase your wealth, or, literally, turn your life around. Gabriel is a powerful Archangel and those who call upon her will find themselves pushed into action that leads to beneficial results. Contact Gabriel if your third eye is closed and your spiritual vision is therefore blocked. Horses, especially the mythical winged horse and unicorns, are associated with this Archangel.

So too, are flowers, particularly the lily, which once again reinforces her association with the Goddess. In today’s world, Gabriel is the patron of all messengers and all forms of telecommunications.

Archangel Gabriel’s magical correspondences are: Colour Blue/aquamarine Season autumn Time Dusk

Element Ray Ray colour Crystal

Water 4th Ray/Harmony & Emotion White Danburite

The astrological signs associated with Archangel Gabriel are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces

Movie Pick: Independence Day

Roland Emmerich’s landmark science-fiction blockbuster starring Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum. Aliens reach Earth and they're clearly hostile: their plan is to suck the planet dry of all its resources, leave behind a burnt cinder circling the sun, and then move on. Planting giant ships above the world's major cities, they unleash destruction on an unprecedented scale. All human attempts to fight back are met by hordes of alien fighter crafts, until pilot Steven Hiller manages to down one and capture its pilot. Meanwhile, scientist David Levinson, having worked out the aliens’ purpose, finds a way to destroy them, but he and Hiller need a spacecraft - which brings them to a secret base near Las Vegas.

Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore In the age-old battle between cats and dogs, one crazed feline has taken things a paw too far. Kitty Galore, formerly an agent for cat spy organization MEOWS, has gone rogue and hatched a diabolical plan to not only bring her canine enemies to heel, but take down her former kitty comrades and make the world her scratching post.

Faced with this unprecedented threat, cats and dogs will be forced to join forces for the first time in history in an unlikely alliance to save themselves -- and their humans.

He dreams of taking it to the Bonneville Salt Flats to see how fast it will go. By the early 1960s, heart disease threatens his life, so he mortgages his house and takes a boat to Los Angeles, buys an old car, builds a makeshift trailer, gets the Indian through customs, and heads for Utah. Along the way, people he meets are charmed by his open, direct friendliness. If he makes it to Bonneville, will they let an old guy on the flats with makeshift tires, no brakes, and no chute? And will the Indian actually respond?

On-line gambling hits jackpot in Spain Spain’s online gambling market has soared following its legalisation. The figures follow last summer's legalisation of online slots play, showing that Spain’s online gambling market grew by almost one third in the first quarter of this year.

Gross gaming revenue in the

same period totalled €102.3m, up nearly 8 percent from the previous quarter, and up a staggering 32.1 percent from the same period last year.

Sports betting continued to dominate, capturing 50 percent of all online turnover and 57.3 percent of all revenue.

Fitbit most popular wearable in Britain

The Fitbit is the most popular wearable tech in Britain, but over 90% of Brits don’t own a smartwatch or fitness band.

The inaugural release of Kantar Worldpanel ComTech’s Wearable service reveals that, as of March 2016, 7.7% of Brits own either a fitness band or smartwatch, lower than the US (12.2%), but higher than Germany (5.4%) and France (4.6%).

Of those who own a wrist wearable, Fitbit is the most popular (38.5%) followed by Apple watch (13.8%) and Garmin (7.6%).

Fitbit first entered the wrist-worn wearable space in May 2013 with the introduction of the Fitbit Flex, a basic fitness tracker - Nearly 3 years later and they have held on to their dominance, in spite of the rise in popularity of smartwatches and, specifically, soughtafter releases like the Apple Watch.

The vast majority of smartwatches and fitness bands are bought by the person who wears it (60.8%), but as sizable number are given as gifts (35.6%).

British people searching for a smartwatch or fitness band are most likely to say the ‘functions available’ is the top reason for choosing their device (56.7%), whereas in the US the number one purchase driver is brand (54.6%).

For Brits, cost of device (49%) and ease of use (43.2%) also outweigh brand (41.5%).

The average price paid for a smartwatch or fitness band in Britain is £133. The majority of people are spending less than £100 (58.5%) with 21.5% of people spending between £100 and £200, and 20% of people spending more than £200.

Imran Choudhary from Kantar

Worldpanel ComTech in the UK says: "Amazon is the top retailer within wearables capturing over 40% of this market followed by Argos and then Curry’s. On the path to purchase, consumers research their decision by visiting manufacturer websites, reading consumer reviews and speaking to friends and family who might already own something similar. As a result, online retailers like Amazon become key destinations in a bid to find the best price. With Smartwatches, a harder sell is needed. Consumers will need to try before they buy given the higher price points. There currently aren’t many retailers apart from Apple who clearly have working units in physical stores for shoppers to go in and have a play with.

Until this happens at a high street level, you can expect to see fitness trackers to continue to grow in popularity at the expense of Smartwatches."

And Imran believes smartwatches shouldn’t be written off just yet: "They certainly do appeal to some. A quarter of those who bought a Smartwatch used it to replace their existing timepiece and a sizeable 28% who now wear a Smartwatch, never used to a wear any sort of watch beforehand. With Fitness trackers there isn’t really a cannibalisation case, as most owners are adding the tracker alongside their existing watch or watch wearing habits.

Once more choice arrives within the Smartwatch category along with an enhanced use case, which might take another couple of years, it won’t be long before Smartwatch popularity quickly usurps that of fitness trackers. Until then, fitness trackers will more than likely continue to grow ahead of Smartwatches."

Ben via email asks: I have an old but perfectly fine HP laserjet 1000 which worked great with my old faithful Windows Vista tower but now I have a new Samsung laptop with Windows 10 and it doesn’t seem to work. I read in one of your previous articles that there may be no drivers for older printers, but are there any tricks to get it working as it is a very good printer and I am reluctant to bin it?

Aunty Says: From what I can see on the their website Ben, HP haven’t released any new drivers for that range of printers since the Vista one back in 2008, that´s 8 years ago! We all know one year for computers equals seven for humans which makes your printer 56 years old so well over due for the bin.

Joseph from Elche asks: Hello Aunty, wonder if you can help me? My son setup my laptop when he was over in May but a few things have changed. I have Windows 10 setup for the internet with Microsoft Edge and my son set my start-up

homepage to BBC News. But recently every time I go on the Internet I have 2 pages/tabs appear with one saying BBC and the other with an odd message saying “certificate error:navigation”. I also use Google Chrome which works fine and goes straight to the BBC main page. Why do I get this error with Edge and can it be fixed?

Aunty Says: This should be pretty easy to fix Joseph. There is a setting in Edge (previously known as Internet Explorer) and also in Chrome and Firefox where you can control what page(s) first open when you go on the Internet, commonly referred to as your Homepage. Edge has three dots in the top right corner (Chrome has 3 small bars) where you can go on to access the options and settings screens.

Here you should check any entries that mention “tabs” “startup” or “homepage” and make sure that “www.bbc.co.uk” is the only entry.

silly problem. I cannot connect to the internet using Chrome on my tablet but I can connect using Chrome on my laptop, both using the same wifi connection.

This problem started today and using the tablet I get a message saying “Maximum number of open connections reached” Skype works but I get the same message using Firefox and Edge.

My laptop works fine on all the above options. Can you please advise?

Aunty Says: Hi Peter. I’m not 100% sure what is causing this but I have seen spyware cause this so do a full scan with an updated Malwarebytes.

Restart the router if you haven´t already done as this may clear out some old connections and maybe try your tablet on another WiFi (café or bar). There are some advanced settings within the Tablet’s network configuration but we’ll only cross that daunting bridge if we have to.

Google regains top spot as most valuable global brand While in the UK, Vodafone retains the No.1 position Google has reclaimed the No.1 position from Apple in the 2016 BrandZ™ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands, by Kantar’s Millward Brown. Google increased its value 32% to $229bn, while last year’s leader Apple dropped to No.2 after declining -8% in value to $228bn.

Microsoft remains at No.3, growing +5% to $122bn, while Facebook (+44%, No.5)

and Amazon (+59%, No.7) entered the Top 10 for the first time. The total brand value held by the Top 100 rose +3% year on year to hit $3.4 trillion.

In the UK, the brand value of the UK Top 10 brands declined by -8% from 2015, compared to the BrandZ™ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands overall +3% growth. The decline in the UK reflects the diversity of categories comprising the UK Top 10, and the fact that these categories

– telecom providers, oil and gas, global banks, retail, apparel and luxury – felt the impact of geopolitical disruption and changing consumer attitudes.

Vodafone retained the No.1 position, with a brand value of $36.8bn (nearly as much as the No.2 and No.3 brands combined). Although Vodafone lost 3.7% of mobile market share in its five largest European operations in 2016, it remains as No.1 in the UK – the same position is

has been for all eleven years of the BrandZ™ Rankings (since 2006).

In the UK, Oil & Gas (Shell and BP) and Banks (HSBC and Barclays) lost 18% value. The oil and gas brands saw significant decrease as Shell concluded drilling in Alaska and

Canada, whilst BP’s upstream- sales decreased.

Although general value was lost, HSBC takes the No.1 spot in Global Banks, and was in line with 9 out of 10 other Global Banks. Barclays experienced a loss in value due to cuts in dividends to conserve capital and absorb losses from toxic assets.

The Tesco brand value remains at No.6 showing signs of recovery owing to focus on customer service and pricing. BT at No.3 grows after record rise last year with expansion in TV and Mobile enhancing itself as an entertainment brand.

Lipton is a new UK entry, capitalising on health trends and global success, and Dove enters the Top 10 again (with +3% increased growth) following successful ‘Choose Beautiful’ campaign.

The Next brand takes the No.10 spot – although down -13% due to low consumer spending, unusual weather, and competition from online retailers.

Similarly, the China slow down effect has hit Land Rover and Burberry in the 2016 rankings.

This year's UK Top 10 overall brand value is 136,732($M), with 5 UK brands appearing in the global Top 100. When compared to 10 years ago, the UK Top 10 brands have grown +64% from 2006, behind the BrandZ(TM) Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brandswhich have grown by +133%.

June 14th - June 20th 2016

T

he word is spreading that The Costa Blanca People gig guide is the one to be in. This week there are new venues taking up the offer of being in the listing that lets everyone know where the best in entertainment is to be found.

My pick of the week has to be on Wednesday with “Take That”, who are appearing for the first time in our area at The Club, Quesada. The 4 gorgeous lads are regularly seen performing their polished tribute act at top venues in Benidorm and the UK. With them being so much in demand it has taken a lot of organisation to get a date when they can wow the audiences from the comfort of one of our local venues.

It’s a big night on Friday with it being a celebration day for several venues. Down in Estrella Del Mar the new owners of La Casa Familiar will be taking over and having a huge party with Dee to make it a real celebration. The party will be welcoming new owners Wendy and Barry into the family fold. Down in Campoamor there is a premiere of a new duo The Pac Men. Celebrating the music of the 80’s and 90’s they can be found at Las Colinas Beach. Over in San Cayetano the terrace of the town hall will be filled with peals of laughter as Justin Sane will be showing the village what comedy is all about. Entre Naranjas also has a first at Bamboo Lounge where Paula B will be amazing customers with her multi tribute show. If you miss it there you can catch her in Santa Pola del Este at The Leprechaun on Saturday.

Saturday is always a Rock n Roll night, and this week The Pink Cadillacs are making the house jump and jive at The Club, Quesada.

The duo recently returned from a UK tour, and is now taking the Costa by storm. Saturday also hails the welcome return of Spanish singing duo Bella Luna to La Bodegueta in Lo Crispin. Always popular, they have an undoubted charm and showmanship. And that is what the industry is all about really. It was pointed out to me by one of the top acts that it isn’t always about the vocal talents of a singer (although they do have to be able to sing). The acts do need to be able to entertain too. Those who are in high demand combine the 2 elements and also have something that cannot be learned – stage presence. You will know who these people are. The whole atmosphere changes to one of electric anticipation when they walk into a room. We are very lucky to have more than our fair share of those acts in our area to keep us and the venues very happy indeed!

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.

Dogs, summer and New signs for cars don’t mix Orihuela Costa Councillor Carmen Morate has issued a reminder about the danger of leaving a dog in the car during the summer months. Only last week dogs had to be rescued from two cars and the summer is only just beginning. In this case the dogs survived but last year a dog died from heat stroke whilst two other puppies of approximately six months old were rescued.

They were only saved due to the swift intervention of the local police who transferred them quickly to a vets where they could be treated and survived. Unfortunately, however, one did not.

Heat stroke is a very cruel death. ‘Dogs do not have a system like we do of sweating’, explains Councillor Morate. ‘They are cooled by panting and sweating through the pads of their feet or through the loss of body heat in areas that have little hair. This means that dogs can be more sensitive to heat shock than people.’

‘Dogs should not be left inside a car even if the vehicle is in the

shade,’ says Carmen.‘When it’s not even a very hot day, say about 26 degrees, in a car in the full sun it could be easily over 35 degrees in fifteen minutes and in 30 minutes the temperature inside the vehicle can reach 48 degrees. A

car in summer is an oven. It’s usually not the intention to leave them for long. Perhaps you just want to run an errand. But something unforeseen happens ending up costing the life of your animal.’

If you should happen to see an animal in a car that is evidently distressed and the owner is nowhere in sight, Carmen has some advice for you. ‘You must call the local police,’ says Carmen.

‘They will come straight away but you should also give them the car registration as they can then be

searching for the owner before they arrive.’

Carmen would also like to warn those people who are in the habit of doing this, in spite of the possible consequences, that it can be considered a criminal offence if you leave a dog in a car in the summer.

There are some dogs that are particularly susceptible to having problems if they are left unattended in a car. These include: • Dogs such as bulldogs and Pekinese with flat faces as they have particular difficulty regulating their temperature.

• Nordic breeds such as huskies and Saint Bernards as they were bred to live in the snow and find it difficult to cope in the heat • Puppies and older dogs – they are more delicate and fragile than adults It should also be noted that dogs will suffer even more if they are kept in the car in a form of carrier. Hopefully there will be no further tragedies of dogs suffering from heat stroke to report on this year.

beaches Multi-lingual signs that warn of dangerous currents have been installed at Orihuela Costa beaches as part of a campaign by the Town Hall to improve safety at Cala Bosque and Cala Capitán.

Orihuela Councillors Sofia Álvarez and Luisa Boné have been carrying out a range of different activities to improve safety for swimmers and to complement

Safer swimming

the lifeguard service with measures that will go beyond the high season in the summer. This has included getting signs erected that warn of the danger of possible currents in the sea at Cala Bosque beach in La Zenia and Cala Capitán at Cabo Roig.

The signs are translated into three languages - Spanish, English and German - and their location

has been specially chosen to make them more visible to swimmers.

Also, in collaboration with the beach bar company Chiringuitos del Sol, buoys have been put out off Cala Bosque beach to reinforce security and hopefully prevent accidents and instances of drowning in the sea.

Age Concern Summer Fair There was a good turn out for the annual Summer Fair run by Age Concern. It was a beautiful day for the event which was based at their centre on Calle Paganini in La Siesta.

There were a number of stalls selling bric-a-brac and clothing and refreshments were available. People took the opportunity to browse and to enjoy a bacon bap. By the end of the event a total of €2,700 was raised and the President, Maureen Payne, would like to thank all those who helped to make the morning a success. She would also like to thank those who donated prizes for the tombola and raffle.

Age Concern is an important and

appreciated organisation which provides assistance and support for elderly people in Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa and as far as Gran Alacant. They have recently taken possession of their new mini bus, bought through donations and they use this to transport people to the centre who may be isolated otherwise.

They have a book borrowing facility which is open every Tuesday from 10.30am until 12.30pm and includes many fiction and non-fiction titles that have been donated over the years. This fund raising event will continue to help maintain this important resource which is available to the local community.

France prepares for attacks at the Euro’s Chemical weapons, drones carrying explosives and remotely detonated bombs are just a few of the terrorist attacks French authorities are preparing for at the Euro 2016.

Millions of fans from Spain, the UK and across Europe are expected to descend on Paris for the month-long football tournament. The games began on Friday and plots targeting the event have already been uncovered.

Earlier this week Ukranian authorities arrested a Frenchman who, with an accomplice, was planning attacks before and during the event. He is said to be a far-right thinker who was planning a massacre because he was 'fed up with immigration' in France, although French authorities claim he was 'just an arms dealer' rather than a terrorist.

The UK Foreign Office today warned fans attending to be ‘vigilant at all times’ as busy areas could ‘potential targets for terrorist attacks’. Stadiums, fan zones and venues broadcasting the matches were all listed as potential high-risk targets.

Commander Dean Haydon, the head of Scotland Yard’s anti-terror squad, said: “Certainly we have seen propaganda, Isis and potential talk of plots against the Euros, but we’re working with all those various different agencies and police to make the Euros a safe event and a safe games.

“We’re a key part of the planning.

Although the ultimate policing of the event and the planning is for the French, we are all involved in properly trying to understand the threat.”

France has been plagued by terrorist attacks in recent years.

Last November saw three suicide bombers detonate their explosive vests outside two of the entrances to France’s national stadium and at a fast-food outlet nearby when they could not get inside.

Spain has already sent a group of police officers and members of the bomb squad, TEDAX, to France for the UEFA run tournament. Extra security forces from Spain will accompany the national team when its members fight to defend the cup they have held since the 2008 tournament.

Spain will increase border security during the matches in Chantilly, near Paris, but interior minister Jorge Fernández Díaz says he is 'confident' that the event will run 'with complete

normality'.

Spanish matches in the first phase will take place in Toulouse this Monday (13th June), Nice on 17th June and Bourgogne on 21st June.

Fernández Díaz has warned that with the UEFA Euro between 10th June 10th July, followed immediately by the World Youth Cup in Krakow (Poland) between 26th and 31st July, is ‘a special and unique occasion’ for terrorists to target.

Spain's foreign office has issued a series of recommendations to Spaniards travelling to France for the tournament, warning them not to drink alcohol or smoke inside the stadium, to always carry their ID as this will be subject to random checks, and to get there at least three hours before the match to get through security.

The weird and wonderful corruption gifts in Spain Those involved in corrupt political and businesses activities in Spain over the year have exchanged presents and backhanders to ‘grease’ their fraudulent relations and to gag public representatives, civil servants and individuals.

The recent lifting of the secret summary of the ‘Púnica operation’ has uncovered some the weird and wonderful gifts used to ‘ease the way’ from horses and hams to hair transplants.

Púnica case (PP) A witness assured the Guardia Civil that the builder Antonio Pardal paid the former regional councillor Francisco Granados holidays in a luxury Sevilla hotel where women were sent to his room.

Pardal also gifted a white horse, and helped build a swimming pool and a wooden house covered with ceramics from the Virgen del Rocío.

Environment Ministry, had a hair transplant during a trip to Turkey. Both services had been financed by top dogs at the FCC and Acciona, accused, with Mateo, of rigging public adjudications in exchange for bribes.

Brugal (PP) The investigation uncovered that a long list of PP politicians were gifted a 24,000 € watch by the former mayor of Benidorm, Manuel Pérez Fenoll, clothes worth 600 € for the former mayor of Alicante Sonia Castedo, and the purchase of a bungalow for the daughter of Luis Díaz Alperi.

who it is believed used money from the Catalan Federation of Municipalities to gift 200 Calvin Klein watches to the mayors who formed part of the corrupt organisation.

Marea (PSOE) Warehouses Pumarín and Igra eased their commercial relations by gifting Iberian hams, hotel stays, cruises, furniture, kitchens and smart-phones to the top dogs in the PSOE and civil servants. The reports from the UDEF and Tax Office reflect parallel accounting to cover up.

Sonia Castedo

Francisco Granados

Gürtel (PP) The relationship formed by Jesús Sepúlveda and Ana Mato resulted in 43 airplane tickets including Disneyland, Ecuador and Switzerland, 16 car rentals, eight hotel stays, five train journeys, a 52,000€ Jaguar and a 83,000 € Range Rover.

Benjamín Martín Vasco, former deputy mayor of Arganda, had his daughters honeymoon paid free – to the USA and Polynesia. In Valencia, Rita Barberá was gifted a Louis Vuitton bag.

Aquamed (PP) Arcadio Mateo, general director of a public company dependent on the

Malaya (GIL) The real estate company Aifos gifted politicians, public civil servants, judges and notaries in Marbella. In the report from the Unit for Economic and Fiscal Delinquency of the National Police, they detected gifts of 200 € hams, French champagne, Iberian chorizo, Loewe bags for more than 600 € and above all VIP holidays in the Guadalpín hotel for 500 € a night.

ERE of Andalucía (PSOE) Francisco Javier Guerrero, former director of Work at the Junta de Andalucía, collected a GPS system, a DVD with two television screens installed in a BMW Q-5, and a trip to Menorca, after having been adjudicated 60,000 € in aid for a businessman, according to the Guardia Civil.

Mercurio (PSOE) A separate part of this case was the investigation of the socialist Jorge Bustos,

How the Poppy Appeal Money is spent in Spain The Royal British Legion provides lifelong support for the Armed Forces community. The funding for this comes through donations and fundraising campaigns, the most famous of which is its annual poppy appeal. Each year people of all nationalities across the Costa Blanca give generously and wear their poppies with pride.

Therefore, the charity is often asked how much money is raised for the Poppy Appeal locally and how is it spent here in Spain. So having researched the question, here is a “snap shot” of some of the ways The Royal British Legion is able to help its beneficiaries last year.

Firstly, the organisation would like to thank all the generous people in the district of Spain for supporting the Legion. All nationalities donated to the Poppy Appeal and last year and raised more than 171,000€ - a truly amazing amount.

Each year the requests for help are slightly different but this is a breakdown of just some of the help The Legion was able to give with local donations.

• Stair lifts • Mechanical wheelchairs and scooters • Refurbishing homes so beneficiaries had a better standard of life, ie changes to a

bathroom or bedroom • Wood, oil and solar panels have been purchased for isolated properties There were also smaller items such as gas canisters, fridges and food, as well as dental bills and help with the purchase of spectacles which were funded through the Poppy Appeal donations.

The Legion caseworkers are always busy visiting and spending time with potential beneficiaries - someone who has served in the Armed Forces or their dependant(s). On some occasions the organisation is able to “sign post” someone to

another charity or organisation and this means the person can get the best possible help available.

If you feel the Legion may be able to help you or a relative you can either ring 676 451 780 or email: welfare.rbl.dns@gmail.com Details of the various Branches in the area are on The Royal British Legion website: www.britishlegion.org.uk/counti es/spain-north or you can email: secretary.rbl.dns@gmail.com.

Alternatively go along to one of the meetings or events and meet new friends and enjoy an active social life.

Emergency rescue practice Emergency services across the municipality of Orihuela have held recent drills to ensure that they are ready to deal with any eventuality this summer. The rescue simulations took place in the Sierra de Orihuela. One drill focussed on a fictional injured person on the mountain who had asked for help via the emergency services 112 number.

In order to carry out the land rescue the protocol mobilises the Fire Service, Local Police, National Police, Civil Defense and

Red Cross. A search service using drones, deployed by the company (AEROMEDIA), were also used as a search vehicle.

By dusk those taking part in the drill had located the subject inside a ravine, with his position identified by the drone.

The coordinates were then passed to the ground crew, who began the approach to the area, knowing they would be unable to carry out the evacuation of the wounded person in the dark.

In the simulation, the injuries were not

serious, however a SAMU team was requested to keep the injured safe overnight in a makeshift camp, and the team proceeded with the evacuation early in the morning.

The Advanced Command headquarters were placed on the terrace of the hermitage of Montepinar, and the parking area housed the tents, personnel and vehicles.

Tiger Mosquito campaign The Department of Environment and Health it has launched a new campaign to emphasise the small steps that people can take to keep the tiger mosquito away from their homes. It is estimated that more than 90 percent of places where the pesky critters can thrive are in private homes and gardens.

This species can breed in small water tanks, such as planters, pet watering dishes, hollow bricks, vases with water,

small ponds in gardens, etc. They love stagnant water that has stood for several days and only need a short time to breed.

Therefore, homeowners are being advised to carry out a few small gestures such as the draining water from planters to prevent these mosquitoes, which caused on-going misery and discomfort, from spreading.

Campaign organisers said: “If we all review our homes and gardens and build

awareness of our own environment it will drastically reduce the presence of these mosquitoes. Drain or change all water regularly.�

However, I was particularly interested when Sandra Cunningham offered me the chance to experience the new advance Ultimate Light Therapy treatment at Image salon, Los Dolses. Mainly because this is not a beauty treatment but a medically evolved skincare system, devised by doctors working with people who have specific skin conditions such as acne, nonmelanoma skin cancer and psoriasis. The medical researchers realised that in addition to seeing visible results in these conditions, the light therapy also provided noticeable results on the signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, skin tone and elasticity.

Like all of us, I was interested in anything that would improve these signs of getting older, but as I suffer from rosacea, I was particularly interested in seeing if the treatment would offer any noticeable improvements in my skin colour and condition – and have been delighted by the results.

Sandra offers a free skin consultation prior to starting the course of treatments.

I had a course of ten, which is the recommended amount and is currently on special offer at 200 euros for the course. She was keen to address the patchy appearance to my skin, the redness, sensitivity and dry areas.

Ultimate Light Therapy is tailored to each client’s specific skin needs. Pure waves of light penetrate deeper than any other method of skin treatment or skincare product and is the future of skincare treatments. Blue Light targets bacteria that causes acne and is one of the most powerful ways to eliminate

Keratosis skins. It decreases pore size and limits oil production and stimulates healthy skin growth. Red Light hydrates the skin up to 600 percent providing skin rejuvenation and counteracting the signs of aging. It reduces red capillaries and works on facial lines and wrinkles. It also reduces sun damage, age spots and nonmelanoma skin cancers. Purple Light combines the benefits of the Red and Blue Light treatments and can be used in conjunction with microdermabrasion. It is excellent for scar tissue and postsurgery healing. It also provides deep relaxation and is the equivalent to nine hours of deep sleep.

Sandra devised a bespoke series of light sequences that would offer the maximum results for my skin.

My 30 minute sessions were divided into two colour combinations. She always began with the blue light as this is the most healing and would address the bacterial elements which were the underlying causes of my symptoms. The second fifteen minute treatment was predominantly based on purple light therapy but occasional she would use the red light to address the signs of aging and regenerate the skin.

The treatment is non-invasive and very relaxing. You simply lie on the treatment bed with the light therapy machine placed over your face. The warmth and glow from the light is a very pleasant feeling and I’m sure I drifted off to sleep in several of the sessions.

After a few sessions of light therapy, Sandra used the skincare centres second leading-edge machine which provides scientifically developed advanced skin treatments such as Diamond Microdermabrasion, Hydra-Facials and

Before

Oxygen Facials.

The Diamond Microdermabrasion removed the dead skin cells from my face, improving the skin texture and giving a more uniform colour. She followed this with a HydraFacial. Diamond microdermabrasion is a non-surgical skin resurfacing procedure which removes dead skin cells, followed by vacuum suction to eliminate skin debris, helping with scarring, blemishes, fine lines and uneven pigmentation. This is the most advanced non-invasive, nonlaser exfoliation treatment currently available. The Hydra-facial is a new breakthrough in aesthetic technology with the ability to moisturise new skin with exclusive serums whilst removing dead skin cells and extracting impurities.

After

The results were instant and easy to see; my skin looked clear and glowing, much smoother and the tone was completely even, no patches or redness. Even my other-half noticed, which just shows the difference it made!

Clear results By the end of the course, for the first time ever, I was comfortable being seen in public without make-up. I have also stopped wearing heavy-full cover products and switched to a light tinted moisturiser, which used to be my base layer. Friends have noticed a difference and I certainly have. In fact I’m so pleased not only am I recommending this

treatment to anyone who comments on my skin, I have booked a second course for September to try and address any damage the hot summer sun might wreak on my new complexion.

Restoring skin to good health was until now the preserve of the rich and famous but thanks to the investment by Image in these two leading-edge machines we can all benefit from the latest skincare developments.

Image is located on the first floor, 126 Los Dolses Commercial Centre and opens five days w week, Monday to Friday from 10am. For further information on any of the above, or to book an appointment at the skin clinic call 966 844 887 or 672 315 909.

Be Skin cancer aware Living in Spain doesn’t have many drawbacks, but being exposed to strong sunlight on a daily basis can give residents a higher chance of contracting skin cancer. And, although many of us are ‘sun aware’ new research shows that slathering on the ‘factor duffle coat’ may not be offering the protection we thought it was.

The has been a new cancer risk warning as watchdogs discovered that ‘once-a-day’ sun cream wears off in a matter of hours, leaving skin exposed to harmful UVA and UVB rays. A study found that once-a-day sun cream wears off in hours and could be leaving people at risk of skin cancer, an investigation by consumer watchdogs found.

Testing by Which?, the campaign group, showed that after six to eight hours of wear the average sun protection factor (SPF) of sun creams which claim to only require one application falls by 74pc.

This is the equivalent of the protection offered by a SPF30 sunscreen dropping to the equivalent of SPF8.

Which? tested ‘once a day’ lotions from Boots, Piz Buin, Riemann and UltraSun, which all claim to last between six and eight hours without re-application by applying it to ten subjects. After six to eight hours UV lamps showed the level of protection had "significantly" dropped below the advertised level for each.

Hot on the heels of the study Cancer Research UK and the British Association of Dermatologists both advised against relying on any sunscreen for extended periods in the sun without regular reapplication.

In response to the investigation a spokesman for Cancer Research said: “A single application of sun cream will not give sunbathers proper protection, whatever it says on the bottle.”

Recent figures show malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer caused by exposure to the sun, is the fifth most common cancer in the UK with around 40 new cases diagnosed every day.

In Australia, which has one of the highest skin cancer rates in the world, once-a-day and ‘eight hour’ claims have already been banned over safety fears.

Which? also tested 11 regular sunscreens to see if they offered the SPF30 they claimed. The only lotion to fail the test was Hawaiian Tropic Satin Protection Ultra Radiance Lotion SPF30

(180ml), meaning people wearing it in the sun could be exposed to risks. The results also go some way towards busting the myth that cheaper sun creams are less safe, as budget own-brand sunscreens from Asda, Lidl and Wilko were all found to offer the SPF claimed when tested. The cheapest sunscreen which passed the test was Aldi’s Lacura Suncare Moisturising Sun Spray SPF30 (200ml), which retails at £2.79.

Alex Neill, Which? Director of Policy and Campaigns, said: “Our testing shows that these sunscreens just don't live up to their 'once-a-day' claims so people should reapply sunscreens regularly to ensure

shade when the sun is strong are the best ways to reduce the risk of sunburn and skin cancer. Use sunscreen with at least SPF15 and 4 or more stars. But remember that no type of sunscreen offers complete protection against sunburn and DNA damage.”

The Cosmetic, Toiletry & Perfumery Association, which represents sun cream manufacturers, refused the claims and said: “People can be confident in sunscreens because companies use supportive data and scientists with expert sun care knowledge to check their SPF test results, and will only sell the product when the whole package of development

they have protection from the sun. “With more than 100,000 people diagnosed with skin cancer in the UK each year, some manufacturers need to do more to ensure their sunscreens live up to the claims on the packaging.”

Thea Cunningham, health information officer at Cancer Research UK, said: “The most important thing about sunscreen is to apply plenty and repeat regularly to get the level of protection stated on the container. An adult would need about two teaspoonfuls to cover the face and lower arms.”

A spokesman for Cancer Research UK, said: “Whatever it says on the bottle a one-off application won’t give you proper protection and we recommend you don’t use any kind of sunscreen to spend extended periods in the sun.

“Covering up with a shirt, hat and sunglasses, and spending time in the

test data and the final human SPF test results match. Which? does not and cannot check its test data against any background support data, so neither they, nor we, can be sure of the Which? results.”

A spokesman for Hawaiian Tropic, said: "We are confident in our test results which consistently indicate year over year that our SPF 30 products in fact exceed the label claim and EU requirements, even after 80 minutes in the water."

Check you moles Most people with moles know they should check them regularly for signs of skin cancer, but how many of us actually know what we're looking for?

It's important to get to know your skin and what is normal for you, so that you notice any changes, particularly as skin cancers rarely hurt and are much more frequently seen than felt.

While not all skin cancers are deadly, melanoma, the most dangerous and third-most-common kind, is extremely deadly if not found early. If you don’t regularly keep track of the moles on your body then you could be putting yourself in unnecessary risk.

Here are some tips and insight on how to carry out regular mole checks and protect your skin this summer.

Here’s everything you need to know: How to check your moles It is important to get into the habit of self-monitoring your moles, and to always report any changes to your doctor who will then refer you on to a dermatologist if the diagnosis is uncertain, or if there is a suspicion of cancer.

There are several local clinics that will check moles for you and the AECC is now also offering a skin cancer check in return for a donation as part of its Early Detection programme.

Ask Maria and the Pink Ladies for further details.

Keep track of your moles It is much easier to spot a change if you are checking your moles regularly. It is important to know where on your body you have moles, and to be aware of any changes as you age. You can always ask your partner, or a friend to check the moles you cannot see clearly yourself.

Photographs are useful and can help keep track of moles particularly when you have a lot.

It is normal to have between 10 and 40 moles by the age of 40, and if you have always had moles and one of them starts to change, that is the time to make an appointment with your doctor’s surgery It is also important to monitor any new moles which may appear.

What to look for When checking your moles, the general advice is that, if you notice any changes or unusual growths then it is best to seek medical advice early on. Do not ignore the warning signs which can manifest in the form of itching, pain,

All About Health & Beauty Men’s Problems!

We seem to read a lot of information about breast cancer but not quite so much about testicular cancer. This week we are going to have a look at this male disease and concentrate on how we can help to prevent it happening to anyone that we know.

Let’s start on a positive note, and that is that testicular cancer is notable for having the highest cure rate amongst all cancers.

A few facts first... Most testicular cancers occur between the ages of 15 and 40 but this doesn’t mean that anyone outside of these ages won’t develop it.

There are two main types of cancer of the testes and these grow from germ cells that make sperm. The common signs of testicular cancer are a swelling or lump in one or both testicles which

may or may not be accompanied by pain.

A heavy feeling in the scrotum and a dull pain or feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen or groin. If you experience any of these symptoms it is always best to have it checked out but it doesn’t mean that you have testicular cancer as these symptoms may be from any number of causes which are not cancer.

Not all lumps on the testicles are tumours and not all tumours are malignant.

Some risk factors for this type of cancer are exposure to certain chemicals, race , family or personal history of testicular cancer, undescended testes in children, certain chromosome disorders, HIV, certain viral infections of the testicles, injury to the scrotum and activity which may regularly put pressure on or irritate the scrotum. Well known people such as

jockey Bob Champion and cyclist Lance Armstrong are examples of the latter risk factor.

Tests for testicular cancer might include blood tests for something that we call tumour markers, abdominal and pelvic scans, chest X ray, ultrasound of the scrotum and biopsy of the testicle.

Treatment may include surgery, radiation treatment, hormonal drugs, chemotherapy or alternative natural treatments such as immune boosting supplements.

Let’s concentrate now on steps that can be taken to help prevent testicular cancer.

Ridding the body of toxins is most important and then building up the immune system, which is after all, the body’s natural first line of defence against cancer and other illnesses.

• Eating a healthy diet with lots of foods

to boost the immune system.

• Regular exercise, stress management and plenty of sunlight to boost the body’s defence system.

• Helping to keep the liver healthy. The great pioneer of cancer treatment Dr Max Gerson observed that he never found one single cancer patient who did not have an impaired liver.

• Regular self examination. We recommend to women that they examine the breasts each month and the same advice goes to men with regard to the testicles. Two minutes once a month to examine the testicles for lumps can be the most important step to early detection and lets face it a quick examination with a soaped hand whilst in the shower is no big deal.

Remember this easy tip: if in doubt, check it out!

bleeding or a change in colour.

It is easier to follow the ABCDE rule by monitoring for changes in: • Asymmetry – when two halves of the moles do not look the same • Border (irregularity) – blurred or jagged edges around the mole • Colour – more than one shade present in the mole • Diameter (size) - if you notice a change in the size of the mole • Evolution - change over time, itching, bleeding).

Preventative measures In order to protect your skin there are several preventative measure you can take…

Understand the difference between UVA and UVB UVA forms the majority of UV light and contributes to skin ageing and the development of skin cancer as it penetrates deeper into the skin. These are the main UV rays that are emitted by sunbeds. UVB is more intense and leads to the redness and sunburn that is indicative of some degree of DNA damage which in turn can potentially lead to genetic mutations and skin cancers.

Apply sun cream This may seem like an obvious one, but people often overestimate the protection they are getting from their sun cream, and will also often opt out of wearing it on cloudy days. This is not a good idea because the sun’s rays can penetrate cloud, and can have damaging effects all year round.

Using the published teaspoon rule, an average of 6 teaspoons should be sufficient to cover an adult body (half a teaspoon to each arm, head and neck, one teaspoon to each leg, chest and back).

To increase sun protection it is best if sun creams are applied 20 minutes before wearing clothes/going out, and use a higher SPF. Ideally another layer should be applied an hour later for maximum effect, and every few hours thereafter particularly when sweating and swimming. Don't forget lip protection as sun damage and cancers can develop in this area.

Record number of Petrol stations in Spain All of a sudden there are new petrol stations being installed practically everywhere. It feels like every area in Spain has a new one springing up.

The number of petrol stations in Spain increased 2.2 percent last year, reaching a record figure of 10,947 facilities.

This is mainly attributed to the growth of independent operators, many of which have been integrated

into the premises of supermarkets and hypermarkets and encouraging increased competition.

In 2015, there were 235 new service stations established across the country as a whole. This consisted of 270 independently branded service stations, 18 new supermarket or hypermarket outlets and a reduction in major brand petrol stations, which fell 0.88

percent.

In total, at the end of 2015, the number of ‘other’ branded stations increased to 2,400; those belonging to super and hypermarkets sat at 341; cooperatives that sell to the public registered at 575; and the number of well-known traditional operators fell to 7,631.

Repsol has the greatest volume of service stations in this country, with

a total of 3,544, and is followed by Cepsa (1,512), BP (629), Galp (575) and Disa (552).

Now that the country is in full flow of recovery from the economic crisis, there is a greater demand for fuel, which is spurred on by cheap prices.

Last year, the demand for petrol registered at 26 million tonnes, an increase of 3.4 percent from 2014.

Dear Francisco My car is registered at my address in Torrevieja.

Is it legal to have it ITV tested in the Pilar de la Horadada centre?

Thomas Francisco replies: The concern here is probably about whether the sound certificate is included. In the Valencian Community, this is a requirement and is carried out as part of the ITV exam. Outside the Valencian Community, for example, the Region of Murcia, this is an extra requirement. If for example, your car is registered to your address in the Valencian Community but you carry out the ITV test in Murcia, you will not automatically be issued with the sound pollution certificate which is a requirement if your car is registered to an address within the Valencian region.

Basically, usually the Sound Certificate is included in the ITV Test Report, unless you have taken your vehicle to an ITV Station out of the Valencian Community.

Pilar de la Horadada is 1km north of the regional border between the Valencian Community and Region of Murcia so in theory, the sound certificate should be included here. Always ask if in doubt, and if it is not included, you can have the Sound Certificate test carried out for a separate nominal fee.

You always must carry in your vehicle the ITV report and the sound certificate if you have it carried out separately.

Dear Francisco First of all, I must commend you on all the work you do to inform expats about driving in Spain.

The information you provide on your Facebook page and through the pages of the Costa Blanca People is invaluable and I am sure I am not alone in saying ‘well done’ for all the work you do in the community.

My question about ‘Driving in Spain’ is in relation to driving with a trailer. If I have a category B licence, can I tow a caravan if the combined weight of my car and my caravan is under 3500kg? I know if it is overweight I should have a B+E licence but I have heard it depends on the weight.

Many thanks.

Pat, Torrevieja

www.costablancapeople.com

Francisco replies: If you have a B licence, people know that they can tow a trailer up to 750kg (remolque ligero), but did you know that you CAN tow a trailer over 750kg with just a B licence?

There is an exception, when the maximum weight of both vehicles is 3500kg you CAN. Example: Car = 2500kg + Trailer 1000kg so you CAN tow a trailer over 750kg.

If you don’t want to get the E licence, there is a new licence for trailers called B96 licence to tow up to 4250kg and can be easier to get than the E licence.

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.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor After continually reading about various problems in Orihuela Costa, it was good to read about Pest Prevention in your June 7th edition, and trust it will be effective.

It certainly sounded very well organized - unlike our experience here on Lo Crispin!! I should add at this point, that, unlike the lucky people in Orihuela Costa, we have never had 4 applications per year, just one in March, and another in Oct/Nov. This year, it was late May (Big mistake, as the cockroaches had an extra 2 months to breed) and Algorfa Ayuntamiento have seen fit to employ new contractors.

Previously, a firm from Elche have done a reasonable job - this time a couple of youngsters (teenagers?) lifted the covers, allowed a swarm to escape, and administered a couple of squirts of pesticide before disappearing. All done in a matter of seconds, leaving residents to deal with an aftermath of dozens of cockroaches making for houses, gardens and anywhere away from the road!

Everyone did their best, but really it should not have been necessary for several Senior Citizens to clear up after these cowboys. So, good luck to

Orihuela Costa, it has to have been more successful than Lo Crispin, and at least, they will be back again soon, whereas we have to wait until, presumably, November.

Bob Lo Crispin.

Dear Editor How can our politicians bend the rules so blatantly? Because so many people went online to register their vote in the upcoming referendum, the government website could not cope and crashed. It was estimated that 500,000 voters would not be able vote before the deadline. Magically the government were able to rush through legislation to extend the deadline until midnight Thursday. In other words change the law. So why could they not rush through legislation to change the law regarding the 15 year exclusion rule which denies 700,000, British nationals the right to vote. They have had several months in which to do it since the date of the referendum was set. Where is the democracy in that?

It seems to me they making the rules up as they go along. If only the electorate were able to give instant dismissal to those politicians who fail in their

job. I fear the House of Commons would be a deserted place if that happened.

Tony Wagstaff To The Editor I have just been reading this week’s edition of your paper. Once again I see threats and scaremongering if the U.K. leave the E.U. this time none other by Mariano Rajoy. Obviously he does not appreciate what us Ex Pats contribute to the economy on the Costa Blanca and other areas.

I personally think that if the U.K. leave the E.U. Mariano Rajoy is afraid what will happen because the E.U. will lose 350 million per week from the U.K. and no doubt this amount would then have to be found by the remaining members. Of course those in Brussels are also afraid as it could affect their Gravy Train which they have enjoyed for years and also they pay a lower Tax rate than ordinary working people.

To be frank I am disgusted with David Cameron he said when getting into office that he would reduce immigration he failed the U.K. have no control over immigration borders and other things and added to that how many times as he changed his mind on things.

I am 85 and my Wife is 74 and we came to Spain in 2002 to enjoy our retirement which we have up to this moment in time. We do not take kindly to threats that we may not be able to continue living here if the U.K. leaves the E.U. When we came to Spain we decided we would use Spanish Bars and Spanish workers when work is required on our villa and this we have done.

I would also point out that I am still paying Income Tax and have done the whole time we have been in Spain.

We have never asked for any assistance financially but I doubt if we would receive any if we applied for help.

Let’s mention Greece they should never have been allowed to join and look what a complete mess that Country is in and again they have just been given yet another loan of 10 billion. They could be followed by Italy and Portugal and who is going to bail them out.

Finally, I think if the U.K. leave the E.U. it will be start the demise of the E.U. over a period of time as some other member countries are now becoming restless the way things are being run with far too many restrictions and red tape and worst of all lack of control of the way the

money is controlled.Yours sincerely Gordon Thorpe Dear Editor I wrote to your newspaper praising Moda La Finca Boutique. It must have a couple or more years back now and in that letter I could not praise the staff more for their helpfulness more and for the coffee that was offered. As the years have gone by I have become a difficult shape to accommodate. So being wife’s Chauffeur today and visiting this fashion shop was delightful for I was able to purchase summer trousers odd shape or not.

This is the one fashion shop that I have no problem visiting, for just as before I was offered fresh coffee and cake and a friend a glass of fresh orange juice. All very refreshing and relaxing for us poor old husbands, as we can make our minds up quite quickly generally leaving us at a loose end, whilst the ladies have to try on this top and that top then the frock/dress( I still don´t know what the difference is). But here I am with my coffee and cake all very relaxed.

All I had to do was to say yes darling that looks lovely on you.

(I would only say it if it was true) Derek Rogers

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 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.

F.C. Roda 06

Buster’s golf society

The quaint Murcian village of Roda, famous for its prestigious golf club now boasts its own football club, FC Roda06.

The club was founded this summer and already has 33 members ranging from 14 to 65 years. The club currently organises mid-week evening 6-aside football for its members at a local sports complex but over the next six months intends to grow its numbers in its three categories of membership, junior, senior and veteran. Once the club has sufficient numbers it will begin to play

For this month’s singles stableford competition we took the short journey from Quesada to Algorfa to play at La Finca. This is the first time that we have played there as a society in the four years since we formed Busters. I have to say it would have been better if we had been told that the course had recently finished hollow tining as I would have chosen a different date if I have known this, however we all an enjoyed the course and the reception there was very good. Out of the twenty one players on the day only four golfers managed to score thirty points or more.

Due to some work still being carried out on the course during the day that we played there we had to start off from the tenth tee, I think that most of us would have preferred to start from the first but it wasn't the end of the world, the camaraderie amongst us more than made up for where we played from.

After the game we returned to the Mini Golf bar close to the Quesada Arches where the staff who always make you more than welcome had our usual sausages , chips with bread and butter ready for us, this along with a couple of the landlord’s beers went down a treat .

We started a two’s competition for the first time last month and this month we had two players share the pot. Both had a two on the sixteenth hole, they were Nikki Ead and Graham Ball well done to both. The winner for the best front nine was Preston Ives with twenty one points. The back nine was taken by Dave Ryan who scored seventeen points, both received a bottle of Rioja that had been donated by our secretary. Our nearest the pins

11-aside weekend football and look to join local leagues.

The club prides itself on its well organised, no commitment, competitive but friendly football and would welcome anyone interested in joining them. There is no joining fee and both sexes of all abilities are welcome.

Anyone interested should contact the club's Director of Football, Steve Thompson on 00 44 7711 349242 or email sthom128@gmail.com

Members pose for the first game of FC Roda06's weekly 6-aside tournament.

competition was won by , on the third and the sixth hole Preston Ives, the thirteenth hole was taken by Kay Ryan and the sixteenth being won by Nikki Ead all our N T Ps won a sleeve of golf balls that had kindly been donated by Brian Jones.

On to our winners in third place with thirty two points was Bill Peters who also received a sleeve of golf balls. In second place with thirty three points was Brian Ead who received a cash prize and the winner on the day with thirty seven points who also took a cash prize, being Roger Burton. Roger you have already been cut. Our soccer card winner who selected Man City was Ian Allison.

For next month’s game we return to Alenda Golf Club which always seems in excellent condition, and is a favourite of ours .

Busters Golf Society is a small friendly group of likeminded people who play on the first Friday of the month, depending on the time of the year we generally have between sixteen and twenty four players. Over the four years since we first formed the society some of our original members have moved on, either returned to their country of origin or have ventured to pastures new, so we are looking for a few more members to swell our ranks. If you are interested in joining our society (it is free) then please email me Barry Grinsell at bustersgolfsociety@hotmail.com quoting your phone number and current handicap and I will get back to you within a couple of days.

Wolfpack Charity Day The Celts Club de Golf Benefits MABS Carol Brookes presents the cheque for €800 to Anne Muff

In March this year, the Wolfpack Golf Society Captain, Tony Brookes, sadly passed away after a short, but debilitating, illness. Tony was a colourful character who epitomized everything that is good about the Wolfpack friendship, kindness, humour and a love of the game whatever cards it dealt him. His presence has been missed and will continue to be.

In order to ensure that Tony left a legacy behind him that we will all remember, the Wolfpack decided to organise a charity day in his honour. The chosen charity was MABS cancer support who provided such excellent care for Tony and his wife Carol to make life as comfortable as possible in their difficult time. MABS is one of the leading charities in Spain

dedicated to the support of all who are affected by cancer, whether patients or those close to them.

On the 10th May, 22 players turned out at Las Colinas to celebrate Tony’s life. The weather was kind and the course was in excellent condition. Winners of the better ball competition were Brian Laden and Geoff Cogswell.

More importantly, thanks to the generosity of the Society members (even those who didn’t play on the day), Las Colinas staff and the Royal Oak pub, the total raised for the charity was an outstanding €800.

Earlier this month at the Royal Oak, the presentation was attended by players and their partners. Carol Brookes presented the cheque for €800 to Anne Muff who accepted it on behalf of the nursing arranged by MABS. Thanks to the kindness of many people MABS will again be able to support families in need of care in their darkest times. Acting Captain, Steve Lugger, said “some things in life are worth doing – this Charity Day was definitely one of them.”

Our captain’s prize tournament (Mrs. Bev Ellender) was contested last Saturday at our home course, La Serena. We had an excellent turnout of 84 players to compete for the coveted prize, what a fantastic turnout. The course as usual was in excellent condition and again we must offer our thanks to the fine work carried out

by Wayne and his team. To John, Paul, Jean, Jose, Karolina and Bruno many thanks for your professionalism and support, it is very much appreciated. The day began bright and early for Camillus and his team of Andy, Alisdair and Philip, at 8am and as always the competitions committee had us at our posts in good time. For Bev’s drive-in she teed up in front of supportive Celts and boomed her drive 185 metres straight as a die, despite her knocking knees. Well done Bev. Bev and Geoff treated all the players to strawberries and Cava on the 1st and 10th tee boxes.

We had the presentation dinner at El Prado restaurant in San Miguel and on behalf of Bev and The Celts we would like to thank Juan and Pilar for the excellent meal. A selection of songs from the musicals were performed by Russ Clarke who entertained us through our dinner. The results on the day were as follows: the visitors prize was won by Tom Ryan with 32 points. The NTP, s, Hole 1, Steve

Baron. Hole 3, Jimmy Kiernan.

Hole 5 Tony Head. Hole 11, Camillus Fitzpatrick. Hole 14, Eddie Stapleton. Hole18, Alisdair McLean.

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

It has been quite the week of sport with rugby, cricket, formula one and some football happening in France.

England racked up their highest ever points tally in a southern hemisphere Test match against Australia and, thankfully, it was enough to win the match. The 38-29 victory means the Eddie-Jones-ometer is going off the chart. Ireland held on with 14 men to win their first ever match in South Africa. Surely it would have been easier with 15?

Sri Lanka managed to avoid the follow on for the first time in this summer’s Test cricket. In fact, they are almost making a game of the dead rubber. Well I say that, they aren’t really. They go into Monday needing to chase down an unlikely 362 to win the match or, equally unlikely, surviving a whole day to get the draw.

Bairstow got another ton in the first innings and Hales missed out on his maiden treble once more, scoring 94 in England’s second innings.

In other shock news, Chris Woakes actually got some wickets.

Lewis Hamilton is a man on a mission. That mission is to hunt down his teammate Nico Rosberg and

he now only trails by nine points. That’s a 34 point swing for anyone that has been counting. Hamilton won the Canadian Grand Prix with Vettel claiming second place.

With the fears of the Zika virus in Rio, Olympic gold medallist Greg Rutherford (the one who wasn’t Mo Farah or Jessica Ennis on that Super Saturday four years ago) has taken the decision to freeze his sperm. I’ll let you come up with your own punchlines.

Andy Murray has clearly been missing some love, affection and smiles in his box since he parted with Amelie.

Step up former coach Ivan Lendl, the big soft cuddly bear

Tales from the Tournament : My Fantasy League Fun ■ CHRIS DARWEN

that he is. Murray and Lendl are currently locked away on a romantic retreat asking where it all went wrong the first time and plotting the Scot’s attack on Wimbledon.

It has emerged that the Russian Sports Minister has been involved in all the alleged corruption, backhanders and general fixing of drug testing that has been rife in Russian sport since I don’t know when.

Who would have thought this kind of scandal goes to the very top? To give it context, it is like suggesting that Lord Coe was completely oblivious to corruption in the IAAF or George Osborn doesn’t follow his own tax laws. Coe wasn’t and Osborn does you know, for legal reasons.

That Gareth Bale, genius move picking him. Who would have thought this unknown playing for one of the smaller countries in the tournament would be an instant hit? Yes, Balo scored that free kick to open his Fantasy account to give me an extra five points to go alongside the two he gets for just being picked.

Excellent stuff Gareth, now just don’t be that good against England please.

We need all the help we can get, clearly.

France against Romania caused me a bit of a Fantasy League problem. I have the Romanian goalkeeper and the French defender Rami in my side.

0-0 would mean that Dimi Payet was completely wasted. I concluded I would love a France win to a clean sheet and Payet scoring at least one

goal. I would have got it as well if Patrice Evra had arrived for his tackle about three minutes earlier. Rami was caught on camera giving the ex-United left back the kind of look I would have given him too, in the circumstances.

France 2, Romania 1 but more importantly ten points for Payet and three split between Rami and the goalkeeper.

It was up to the Germans and Howedes to get me my first clean sheet.

Howedes would be pushing it to get any credit for the shut out, however. Neuer was excellent in goal as Ukraine failed to find a way through.

Muller looked worryingly quiet, which means two of my front three are goal-less after round one.

With Portugal, Italy and Spain still to play at the time of writing I am hoping to improve on my current ranking of 15,190. Still, I have as much chance of winning it as England.

Tales from the Top Flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN Having spent ninety minutes watching England bang their heads against a Russian wall, I found myself for the first time in my footballing life feeling somewhat jealous of the Welsh. Yes, it is true. Even the fact that Ryan Giggs was theirs and not ours did not bring out such emotion as I watched Rooney and his mob fail to score the all important goal from open play. Why could we not scuff one in like Hal Robson-Kanu?

Credit to the Welsh, who were apparently playing their first tournament match since 1958. I would have thought someone may have mentioned that in the build up?

Beating Slovakia 2-1 has inadvertently blown the group wide open. Gareth Bale opened the scoring with a slightly better free kick than the one that broke a spectator’s nose in the warm up and, after Slovakia nicked an equaliser, it was left the half fit Robson-Kanu to hoik the winner home with the bit of his foot marked “shin-pad.”

Later the same day England were up to their old tricks in Marseille. No, not having a bit of knees up with the local police, but failing to win their opening match in the European Championships.

England have never won their opening fixture in this tournament, a fact that gets watered down when you recall how many times we have failed to qualify for it.

Roy had clearly Googled “cunning

plan” when putting together his team for the match against Russia. The wily old fox unveiled his strategy to bring the trophy back to English shores and end 50 years of hurt and about 48 years of bleating on about it. What’s that Roy? Rooney in deep midfield, Kane on corners and Dier on free kicks? That will never work!

Except it very nearly did. Rooney looked like a slightly less suave version of Pirlo in his regista role, spraying passes all over Marseille in the same way the French police sprayed tear gas

Having seen at least seven corners sail over the heads of the guys loitering at the far post it was a relief when Harry Kane ran over the ball for the free kick on the edge of the Russian area. What nobody expected was that it would be his Tottenham team mate, the only defensively minded midfielder in an England shirt, who blasted it home to give England the lead. Anyone who has watched enough of England in the last few decades will know 1-0 is rarely enough, and there was no great surprise when Russia equalised deep

all over anyone in a football shirt in the afternoon, slightly erratically and occasionally hitting the right target. If Adam Lallana had been anyone other than Adam Lallana then England may well have come in at the break 2-0 to the good.

However they had dominated a first half stalemate.

into injury time. Milner, brought into the game to help tighten things up, ushered his man down the line in a way you would expect from a cinema usher and the cross was headed up and over the spectating Joe Hart. Personally, and doing my biggest turncoat impression of the season, there was

one decision made by Roy that baffled me. Having finally coaxed a world class performance out of his captain, why take him off when the game needed him most?

Rooney had been controlling the game, and with the confidence he was exuding his experience would have been crucial as the game closed out, much more than bringing on Wilshere who, frankly, must have compromising photos of Hodgson for him to get so much game time.

England against Wales on Thursday got even bigger as the ball crossed the line.

In “other Premier League players playing in Euro 2016” watch, West Ham’s Dimi Payet made sure the French had something to cheer in Saint-Denis on Friday night. His cross gave Arsenal’s Oliver Giroud the chance to prove some doubters wrong, but it was his left footed thunderbolt minutes from time that gave France an impressive win. The lad left the field in

tears, overcome by emotion not seen since West Ham left Upton Park.

Arsenal new boy Granit Xhaka got the better of his brother in Switzerland’s 1-0 win over Albania. ExSpurs midfielder Luka Modric scored a cracker to give Croatia a 1-0 win in their match against Turkey.

Northern Ireland put in a solid yet unsuccessful performance against dark horses Poland. O’Neill had openly said he wanted to make the side difficult to beat and he achieved his wish.

However, if they have any dreams of progressing then he will need to make the side capable of scoring a couple of goals as well.

Germany and Ukraine put together a very entertaining game on Sunday night.

Both goalkeepers were excellent as the game flowed from end to end. Germany led and finished the game off in injury time where Bastian Schweinsteiger did three things Manchester United fans believed were beyond him after his performances in a red shirt. Firstly, he ran quite fast into the opposition penalty area. Secondly, he made a decent connection with the ball. Finally, it went in.

Germany will need to improve if they are to go all the way, but they normally do.

CD MONTESINOS HAS A NEW MANAGER ABBEY ANGLING We fished the 3rd round of the Summer Series on the river Segura at Murcia on the 7th June.

On our arrival we saw that the river authority were busy cutting down the reeds on the far bank, they were also trimming the palm trees along the near side, this meant that the anglers were having to move their pole rollers all the time as the lorries were travelling up and down the bank.

There was hardly any small fish being caught, with the majority of fish netted were between three quarters and two kilos in weight.

The strong winds are still with us making pole fishing difficult, the best methods of the day was the feeder using corn and bread.

Local football club CD Montesinos has a new manager following the departure of last season's "Mister" Roberto Cases.

The club's committee have been holding talks with a number of local managers in recent weeks and have now come to an agreement with Jose Ignacio Camacho Pavon who is known as Camacho in football circles.

Camacho comes to the club having been in charge at Orihuela "B" last

Our return to the magnificent La Finca course saw members having to battle not only this difficult course, but 30 degree temperatures, and a few were wilting towards late afternoon.

However, there are always some who rise to a difficult challenge, and this was the case today with gold winner, Gary Garbett, achieving a brilliant 43 points.

Not far behind came captain Jimmy Scott with a creditable 36 points to win

the silver division, a position he has made his own in recent weeks.

A special mention for guest, Tom Cousins, playing off of a 2 handicap, who won 3 of the 4 nearest the pin prizes. He also shared the 2's pot with another guest, Phil Gill. The other NTP was won by Graeme Buchanan.

Our next meeting is at Lo Romero on 23rd june, 10am first tee at a cost of 40 euros for the President's Cup.

In the next few days there will be an interview with the new manager to get his thoughts and ideas, which should be interesting as it is the desire and aim of those running CD Montesinos to finally make the leap up a level at the end of the forthcoming season.

No pressure for the New Boy then!

On Wednesday Las Ramblas were doing their halfyearly greens maintenance so we treated ourselves to an away day at Villamartin. Their greens had been done last week and were a bit bumpy but perfectly playable. The rest of the course was in good condition. Scoring was not easy with the tee boxes being right back, so only one of our members, Brian Staines, beat par with 37 pts. There were no 2s in the 2s Club for the second week, so there will be a
