With reports of break-ins in the region increasing, there’s good news that a gang of thieves have been caught by the Guardia Civil. Six members of the gang were arrested and are thought to have been responsible for a wave of robberies targeting properties belonging to nonresidents. From the gang’s base the police collected a number of items including baseball bats, crossbows, swords and masks. The gang specialised in burglaries in holiday homes in Torrevieja and other towns in the Vega Baja. The exact number of robberies they have carried out is not yet known as there may be houses that have been robbed and the families owning them are not yet aware. The gang were well known and feared due to the way in which they entered the houses and the destruction they caused. In order to address the threat a page was created on Facebook to act as a social networking alert for neighbours; the aim being to share information and help with their capture. The six accused are also believed to have stolen a Mercedes worth €95,000 from Ciudad Quesada. The group targeted holiday homes whose owners were foreigners and spent long periods of time in their home

countries. They used brute force to break through gates, doors and windows, knowing that the premises were not

to their level oforganisation, caution and vigilance. They monitored and tracked the properties before they struck and had

established lookout points at the entrances to urbanisations and on flat roofs. They were equipped with binoculars and coordinated their activities using wireless transmissions. The level of organisation of the band made it very difficult for the police to intercept them. The thieves used gloves and balaclavas that meant they were difficult to identify through fingerprints, through CCTV or through witnesses. However, when the police raided the thieves’ houses they found clothing, binoculars, walkie-talkies and other accessories that will also act as evidence. As well as breaking and entering homes the gang were responsible for stealing from garages and one night stole cars from seven garages in a row in Torrevieja. On this occasion they were both recorded on CCTV and were surprised by a neighbour which led to them fleeing from the scene. Detectives were able to identify the members of the gang in the end through camouflaged cameras and surveillance in the areas that the gang liked to target. Three of those arrested have been detained in prison and three have been released. However, further arrests are not continued on page 3

Solar energy for Torrevieja If there’s one thing that Torrevieja is not short of, it’s the sun. Eager to get Torrevieja on the map for solar energy, the mayor, José Manuel Dolón, has volunteered Torrevieja to be part of a pilot group installing photovoltaic panels. The council will now consult with communities of owners, estate agents and business owners to identify those who might be interested in helping with the pilot. Continued on page 4
The Red Cross in dispute On Wednesday June 15th the Mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón, the Councillor for beaches, Javier Manzanares, the Councillor for development and employment, Victor Ferrández and the Councillor for senior citizens, Domingo Perez met with Red Cross life guards and their union representatives. The meeting followed a protest that had been staged by the workers after they’d been eliminated from the bidding process for the new contract to protect bathers on Torrevieja’s beaches. The councillors expressed their gratitude for the work done by the Red Cross in previous years and for their professionalism. However, during the competitive tendering that had taken place the submitted bid from those in charge of the Red Cross contained errors which effectively ruled them out of the bidding process. The Red Cross workers expressed their concerns about the security of their jobs as their company is no longer to provide the service. ‘Unfortunately the workers are not on contracts that guarantee them work,’ explained the mayor. At the end of the meeting it was agreed that Torrevieja town hall would appeal to the Spanish Red Cross to find a solution for
those who have previously been employed on the beaches of Torrevieja. The pentapartito council has aimed, since their election last May, to ensure that all money spent on services in Torrevieja goes to businesses through a competitive tendering process. The Red Cross traditionally has performed the service for the last 25 years. The PP, on the other hand, are championing the rights of the Red Cross workers and have recently made a denuncia of those who have taken their place. They claim that the replacement service has reduced workers’ wages and worsened their conditions. The Red Cross lifeguards protested on Wednesday 15th June about the loss of the contract and their jobs. ‘Fewer drones, more workers’ was one of their chants as they appealed to the town hall. Altogether 71 lifeguards took part in the march from the offices in Las Cortes Valencianas to the town hall. They were accompanied by family and union officials. One possible solution is that the new provider of the service employs some of the existing life guards. However, they are under no obligation to do so. Suzanne O’Connell

A bather of 74 years old was revived on Friday morning 17th June by two police officers. The event happened on La Mata beach when the bather suffered a heart attack. She was pulled out of the water by her husband and others who were on the beach. The Guardia Civil came to see why the crowd of people were congregating. The two officers started to resuscitate the woman while they waited for the ambulance to arrive. The woman started to recover and was then attended to by the ambulance team who continued to attend to her on her journey to Torrevieja hospital. There were no life guards on the beach at the time as the service does not begin until the 1st July. Concerns have been raised about the length of time it can take to summon help when there is no lifeguard service available.

Temporary contracts Currently of the 700 workers employed by the town hall, 200 are on temporary contracts. The law stipulates that temporary contracts should be held for no longer than three years. However, some of the employees, particularly local police officers, have been on temporary contracts for more than 15 years. The request has been made to Councillor Fanny Serrano that this situation be rectified. Fifty local police officers are on temporary contracts along with others from human resources and those who tend parks and gardens.
Car parking area closed in La Mata Finding somewhere to park your car is going to get even more difficult in La Mata following the closure of a parking area traditionally used by market traders and those going to the beach. The car parking space is between the N332 and the beach and altogether represents an area of five thousand square metres. The reason for the closure is that the area is over a canal which takes water from the sea to the lagoon at La Mata. The area has the capacity to accommodate more than a thousand vehicles for free and the town council in Torrevieja are concerned that it could be insufficient to take the weight of the cars parking there. There are no concerns about its safety for pedestrians and the town council has assured the stall holders that the market can still continue. However, there will be implications for the market as there will be fewer places for customers to park. A report by a municipal architect has revealed that the area might be liable to subsidence and as such the movement of traffic should be prohibited.
Some events to look out for Culture councillor, Alejandro Blanco, has presented the cultural programme for Torrevieja. This include the Electromar concert which will take place on the 16th July in Antonio Soria park. The festival had looked unlikely to take place at one point but agreement was reached with the town hall which means that a percentage of the ticket sales for the concert will be paid to the town. There will be live bands and performances in Las Eras de la Sal in July and August including Spanish pop-rock bands Los Ilegales and Loquillo and theatre performances Pepe Viyuela, Zoo Cabaret and Pepin tre. The International Auditorium will also be staging classical music events in the autumn including soprano Ainhoa Arteta and violinist Ara Malikian.

Second election campaign kicks off in Spain The new campaign race is underway in Spain, and everyone is claiming that there will be no need for a third election. However, although it is being dubbed “the unblocking campaign,” all four main parties refuse to budge on positions that prevented a governing deal the first time round, and continue to reject coalitions with specific groups. The odds-on favorite Popular Party (PP), which has been in charge of a caretaker government since the inconclusive election of December 20, is still convinced that the only way out of Spain’s political impasse is a grand coalition headed by acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. The conservatives have adopted a polarizing strategy aimed at pushing the Socialist Party (PSOE) into a corner and forcing the latter to accept this grand coalition. The PP also seeks to relegate the liberal Ciudadanos, an upstart party that came in fourth at the December election, to a position of irrelevance. As for the new Unidos Podemos alliance, made up of the anti-austerity Podemos and the United Left, Rajoy is dealing with that threat by reiterating that “Spain needs a period of moderation against the risk of extremism.” He is not the only one casting the leftist group as dangerous to the country’s stability. The Socialists, who stand to lose the most votes to Unidos Podemos – recent polls predict a reversal of roles, with the alliance bumping the PSOE down to third place at the upcoming election – are
Homeless man fined A court in Torrevieja has fined a homeless man, Antonio Martínez Espinosa, €742 for disobeying authority. It was explained in court that on the afternoon of 19th May he was found lying in the road in the region of las Cortes Valencianas and the police intervened in order that he wasn’t run over. The Guardia Civil and local police have been faced with the same situation many times in recent months. It was claimed that‘El Antonio’, as he’s known locally, was not only endangering himself but creating a traffic hazard. The defendant hurled insults at the officers and was alleged to have thrown a punch at one of them which they managed to duck. Following this El Antonio lost his balance and knocked an officer to the ground as well. The officer’s uniform was torn, an offence for which the accused was fined €22 towards the cost of repair. El Antonio was not able to appear in court and was represented by one of those who helps him on a daily basis. There seems to be no solution for how best to help someone like Antonio. He lives in the street and has received more than 15 reports from the local police in recent months. The reports are usually of the same issue. He is found lying on the road in a drunken state. He does not need medical care and is not classed as disabled which might have enabled him to have care in a centre. He is known to social services who try to give him support. Suzanne O’Connell
stressing the communist element in United Left and warning that its proposals would be harmful to Spain. The Socialists continue to claim that they will never enable another PP government. But their great fear of being overtaken by Unidos Podemos, which now claims to be “the new social democracy,” was evident at the PSOE rally held in downtown Madrid on Thursday evening. Speaking to a crowd at the newly renamed Pedro Zerolo square – honoring a gay rights activist who died recently – Socialist leader Pedro Sánchez tried to appeal to voters’ loyalty. Despite the bad forecasts, he told them that “the future is not written in advance” and that socialism “is not about resignation, it is about fighting.” Yet party officials know that what’s
really at stake is the continued relevance of a 137-year-old party that was instrumental in Spain’s transition to democracy, then shared power in turns with the PP, but began to lose voter support since its massive defeat in the 2011 election. By comparison, Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias began the new campaign for the June 26 election with a much more confident message. “It is very likely that we will have to take on very important responsibilities,” he told a crowd of supporters. Flanked by his right-hand man Íñigo Errejón, IU leader Alberto Garzón and other alliance officials, Iglesias reiterated his earlier offer to build a large centre-left governing coalition with the Socialists: “We are going to reach out to them to head a government of change,” he said.
Alliance Originally termed as anti-austerity, the new Unidos Podemos group is variously described as communist, social democratic and populist. The alliance has demonstrated an ability to be all of these things and none of them at the same time, controlling their message in order to attract as many leftist votes as possible. Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera has started the new campaign with a defense of his deal-making policy, and a renewed desire to make a difference in Spanish politics despite its smaller share of the vote. “If Ciudadanos is not decisive, the PP and the PSOE will not change a single one of their mistakes of the past years. Where we have been decisive, change has occurred,” he said, alluding to his regional agreements with the PP in Madrid, La Rioja, Castilla-León and Murcia and with the PSOE in Andalusia. “The future of this country largely depends on Ciudadanos’ results at the polls,” added the 36-year-old leader of a group that started life a decade ago as a non-nationalist Catalan party and made the jump to national politics in 2014 on a platform of democratic regeneration. Despite his ambitious statements, Rivera will also be fighting to remain relevant ahead of a ballot where, polls say, he will win more votes yet lose one or two seats because of the way the Spanish voting system weighs votes.

Gibraltar Rally cancelled
Continued from page 4
It had caused controversy from the start. The visit of David Cameron to Gibraltar had already angered Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy who said; ‘The government does not like Mr. Cameron travelling to Gibraltar. What is being debated is that the United Kingdom remain in the EU or leave the EU and the campaign for that should happen in the United Kingdom and not in Gibraltar.’ It had been noted in both the British and Spanish press that this was the first visit of a serving British prime minister since 1968. Cameron was due to take part in a rally at 5.00pm on Thursday 16th June with the Chief Minister FabianPicardo. He was also due to hold a press conference and be interviewed on TV. However, his plans were abruptly cut short by the tragic death of MP Jo Cox in Birstall. Both Leave and Remain groups subsequently announced a suspension of the campaign. The Prime Minister stated; ‘It’s right that all campaigning has been stopped after the terrible attack on Jo Cox. I won’t go ahead with tonight’s rally in Gibraltar.’ Gibraltar is the only overseas territory that joined the EU along with UK in 1973 and now does have the right to vote in the referendum. It is expected that the majority of Gibraltar’s 23,000 UK citizens will vote to remain in. One recent poll publicised in The Guardian suggests that 88% of the 85% who will vote in Gibraltar will vote to remain.
Painting exhibition There will be an exhibition of paintings by the Escuela Municipal de Pintura in the Virgen del Carmen centre from 21st June to the 5th July. There will be forty paintings displayed, this time not exclusively in the exhibition room at the theatre. It’s hoped to improve their visibility and accessibility by placing them throughout the four floors of the building. The exhibition invites us to take a ‘journey with ourselves’ and to explore our hopes and fears, successes and failures.
Torrevieja’s consultation plan On the 14th June, Councillor Victor Ferrández announced further developments in the citizen participation scheme that he is aiming to establish in Torrevieja. The councillor is hoping that by the end of 2016 there will be the first draft of regulations in place and that a map of the different districts will follow in 2016 and early 2017. The plan is to establish district councils which will include representatives of homes for the elderly, AMPAS (parent/ teacher associations) and neighbourhood associations. At the moment there is some uncertainty as to whether La Mata will count as a district or will be categorised in another way. There is a possibility that there will be a referendum in La Mata allowing the townspeople themselves to determine how they wish to be categorised and included in the plans. Suzanne O’Connell
What the impact would be on Gibraltar if Britain does leave the EU is uncertain but the impact is likely to be even more damaging than to those living in other parts of Spain. Gibraltar is a self-governing overseas territory but it could not reapply to join the EU on its own. A Brexit could mean that the border with Spain would be closed. This also happened under dictator Francisco Franco in 1969 and it wasn’t until Spain was accepted into the EU that it reopened again in 1985. Gibraltar’s economy is heavily reliant on trade and businesses that depend on a single market. Companies register here and trade across the EU and if Britain elects to leave this could have a disastrous impact on Gibraltar’s finance industry. Approximately 10,000 people live in Spain and cross over the border on a daily basis to work in Gibraltar. They would be unable to do this if the border was closed. A Brexit could signal a campaign by Spain for sovereignty of the island. The Spanish current foreign minister, José Manuel García- Margallo has stated that as Gibraltar would still need to have a link with the EU this might only be achieved through conceding shared sovereignty between Spain and Britain. However, Spain’s own general election on 26th June will also impact on Gibraltar’s future. Whilst the PP party have made it clear that the single market could only be achieved through some form of compromise, the PSOE (centre left) has
5
stated that whatever the outcome of the referendum, Gibraltar must retain access to the single market and have a freeflowing border. The week beginning 20th June is one in which Gibraltar’s future will hang in the balance. Suzanne O’Connell

Celebrating San Juan The summer may have only just started but we have already reached the longest day. This is the time of year when, in spite of the heat, bonfires are lit and fireworks set off to celebrate the Midsummer or St. John’s Day. This year, Thursday 23rd June, will see the celebration of San Juan on beaches throughout the Costa Blanca. The beaches of Torrevieja will be full of people celebrating the night which is seen as a time to get rid of your demons through fire. El Cura beach will be the centre of the festivities this year and it is likely that they will begin from sunset and continue until the early hours of the morning. Celebrations have also been taking place in the area of Molinos del Calvario and these will culminate on the 24th June with their own burning of bonfires, effigies and firework display. However the celebrations in Torrevieja are unlikely to rival those held in neighbouring Alicante. The city is renowned for
its San Juan festivities and this year Les Fogueres de Sant Joan take place from the 20th June until the 24th. These are perhaps the main festivities in Alicante and share some similarities with the Fallas celebrations in Valencia. This year the Alicante solstice cele-
brations once more focus around a series of bonfires, ‘mascletás’ or firecrackers and the Ninot procession. The Ninots are large effigies that also feature in Las Fallas and are doomed to be burnt at the end of the festival. Although celebrations continue all week, it’s the final two days that are perhaps of most note. On June 23rd Alicante holds its International Folklore Parade which consist of colourful floats, dance groups, bands and dancers from different countries of the world. The final event is on June 24th with ‘la cremà’ when at midnight hundreds of fireworks are set off and the effigies are set alight. A large bonfire will be lit in the Town Hall Square. Finally, the firefighters get to extinguish it all during the ‘Banyá’. Suzanne O’Connell
Property purchases rise in April It’s been a while since we have had reports about house prices and the number of property purchases falling from the previous, month, quarter or year - and the trend continues. In fact, the news just keeps getting better and better. The latest report from the National Statistics Institute (INE) has revealed that a total of 35,199 properties were sold in April. This is 29 percent more than for the same month during the previous year, with sales rising for both resales and new builds. In addition, this is the best figure registered in the last three years, and the 29 percent annual rise is the highest since August 2010. The data issued by the INE was taken from figures collected by the Property Registry offices, which may differ from other sources due to the time frame. This is the first time in the last 24 months that positive figures have been given for new-build properties, which saw sales falling continuously during this time. In April, property purchases involving new builds went up 17.6 percent annually and registered 7,171 transactions. And, the number of purchases involving secondhand properties also rose by a massive 32.3 percent, registering a total of 28,028 operations, with figures rising for 26 consecutive months. With regards to property purchases for the first four months of 2016, sales have gone up 13.8 percent from the same period last year. The biggest increases in property purchases annually have been registered in the Balearic Islands (+61.7 percent) and Galicia (+51.6 percent). The lowest rises were registered in the Canary Islands (+2 percent) and the Basque Country (+12 percent).

Firework advice It’s firework season in Spain and wherever you happen to be chances are that there will be a fiesta taking place with accompanying pyrotechnics. Every year there are a number of incidents resulting in light and sometimes serious injuries. Occasionally there is a fatality. Events can seem to be lacking many of the health and safety measures that might be expected back in the UK. So it might come as a relief to know that the Guardia Civil do monitor these events and recently have released some new guidelines to ensure the safety of the public. During the June bonfires, Alicante is described as being a ‘powder keg’ with thousands of kilos of fireworks ready to go up in smoke. In order to keep this in check, the Guardia Civil do daily inspections. There are rules around the handling of gunpowder and the police have the responsibility of ensuring that all the security measures for public displays are met. Some of the rules include: • The distance between the public and the fireworks • Limits to the weight of the gunpowder • The chemical composition of the fireworks • The containers in which they are kept All the fireworks must be assembled by qualified professionals and the staff who are handling the fireworks must be licensed. There are also rules around the selling of fireworks to the public. There are currently only 15 establishments authorised to sell fireworks in Alicante city and they can sell products for individual events and parties. If you are planning to hold your own event then advice has been issued: • Buy only authorised products • Do not expose fireworks to the heat or sun • Do not carry fireworks in your pocket • Don’t use a firework if it looks as though it
might be damaged Do not use fireworks near inflammable products • Only use fireworks in open spaces and always maintain a safe distance from people • Never light rockets in your hand but always set them vertically and never direct them towards people, animals or things • Once the firework is lit do not return to it even if it does not go off for at least ten minutes • Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer All advice that those coming from the UK will have heard many times in the lead up to bonfire night. However, unfortunately every year there are still casualties that need to be weighed against the enjoyment and special place that mascletàs and bonfires have in the Spanish calendar.

More flight misery in store Town hall work continues Flights to Spain have been delayed by up to four hours by French air-traffic controller strike, and there could be more to come. Air-Traffic controller strikes in France have caused chaos on flights heading to and from Spain recently, with passengers forced to wait for up to four hours on board. None of the passengers heading for Valencia from London Stansted had heard of the strike until they were on the aircraft, when they were told take-off could be delayed by up to half a day. Airlines were instructed to board all travellers as normal, since notice of a takeoff slot could come up at a second’s notice and they would have to leave immediately to avoid losing it and waiting several hours more. This led to disgruntled passengers stuck in their seats waiting for the off, many with no way of contacting their friends and family members to tell them they could be very late. Pilots and crew commented that they
were in for ‘a long day’, since flights all over Western Europe were likely to be delayed. Those left waiting in Stansted secretly hoped they would be delayed long enough to be ‘forced’ into staying overnight in Valencia, saying they loved the city and the weather was better than in the UK. Delays across Spanish airports or for flights heading for them could continue for the rest of this week, warned the crew, since the knock-on effect of the last 10 French air-traffic controller strikes so far this year has led to take-off and landing slots put back several days after the workers were back on full duty. Even though long delays are expected, anyone flying should head for the airport at the usual time as they may be required to board and wait. Rail strikes throughout Spain may cause further hold-ups for those relying on public transport to get to and from airports in the country.
The mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón, has announced that work on the refurbishment of the town hall annex continues. From this building several town hall services will take place. The works should be finished in time for Christmas. The plan itself was put together by the previous PP government and it is now in operation. The PP had planned to include a plenary hall in the building but this has been modified to house offices and services instead. Various services will be moved there from their current locations where rent is currently being paid. It is
expected that in the long term this will provide a saving to the town. People have raised the query of why there are no windows from the building towards La Plaza de la Constitución. However, the mayor points out that there will be windows facing the town hall. Both buildings are separated by a small garden which is accessed at the entrance to the ground floor. Additional space to establish the different departments is urgently needed and the mayor hopes to put in place other plans to improve access to services too. Suzanne O’Connell

Spanish capture deep space A telescope in the Canaries has captured the deepest image of the Universe. Studying the objects that are furthest away in the Universe is a complicated task, given the scant contrast with the background, which makes measuring the light that reaches us difficult. However, a study from the Canaries Astrophysics Institute (IAC) has managed it. With the aim of establishing the limits of observation, they used the Gran
Telescopio de Canarias on the island of La Palma, which is the largest optical-infrared telescope in the world. The image they obtained is 10 times deeper than any other previously observed from the Earth. The results of this project, which have been published in the specialised magazine ‘Astrophysical Journal’, have found a faint halo of stars around the galaxy UGC0180, which is 500 million light years away from us. The findings confirm
the existence of the stellar halos predicted by current theoretical models. After an exposure time of eight hours, the researchers found a weak halo made up of four billion stars around the UGC00180 galaxy. Thanks to the success of this technique, Ignacio Trujillo, the first author of the study and a researcher from the IAC, has set the objective of extending the study to other galaxies to see if the current model of galaxy formation is correct.

THEATRE GROUP ON SONG FOR RBL Normally having to rely on street collections and poppy boxes there was a pleasant surprise for members of the Royal British Legion last Thursday evening when the good folk of the Campoverde Theatre Group attended the monthly meeting of the Orihuela Costa Branch with a cheque to the value of 712 euro. The money was the receipts from the recent review ‘Somme’ Memories of a Century which the group played to three packed houses in San Miguel last month. The cheque was presented by Pat Jarnet who was accompanied by cast
members Carron Porter, Jan Holden and Graham Pink. A similar amount was also presented to the Military Charity ‘Help For Heroes’. Campoverde Theatre Group are now working on their next Production, to be in the same format as the successful ‘Somme’ Revue, a supper show, which will be performed at the Phoenix Nights on 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th of October, entitled Gone But Not Forgotten, A Tribute To The Stars, remembering the celebrities that have died in the last 12 months.
Success for Andalucian Fair
Organisers of the first annual Andalucian Fair in San Fulgencio wanted to thank all of those who attended the event, making it a great success with almost a thousand participants. Members of the public enjoyed a dressage show by Cándido Pina de Redován riding school. Organisers also expressed thanks to business owners and the town hall for their support and participation and plans are already afoot for next year’s event.

Orihuela Costa forum on burning waste tip celebrates progress More than 100 people attended a Forum last Friday organised by CLARO and the Altamira Community of Las Ramblas, which was held at the Las Ramblas Golf Club. The meeting aimed to explain and discuss developments in the campaign to end the dangers to health and the environment posed by the illegal waste tip in Campoamor, which has been smouldering away for several years. Present at the forum were Councillors from Orihuela and Pilar de la Horadada and in addition to CLARO and the Altamira Community, speakers included a representative of the action group against illegal waste tips VERTIVEGA, a Deputy from the regional Valencia parliament and a senior official from the Department of the Environment in the regional government of Valencia.
Legal action resulted in the operation of the tip being brought before both the criminal and the environment courts and an intervention by the new government in Valencia to oblige the owners of the site to present a plan to seal the waste tip and put an end to the damaging emissions. The sealing of the waste tip by the deposit of thousands of tons of sand and earth was completed recently and the escape of gases has been ended and the positive results of the joint action by CLARO and Altamira residents of Las Ramblas was welcomed by all participants. The end of suffering from the effects of the illegal waste tip was considered a tremendous achievement which no one had expected in the space of two years. However, in the discussion it became clear that this
The Spanish and English language media were also in attendance. Speakers traced the history of the waste tip, which was located originally in the municipality of Orihuela but comes under Pilar de la Horadada after the separation of Pilar from the municipality. An operational license was granted by Orihuela in the 1980s and later on revoked by the Valencia Government when the construction boom produced residential developments and golf courses close to the waste tip, principally in Orihuela. The waste tip is illegal in that it never met the required norms, was never supervised or controlled by the authorities and after it was closed the process of decomposition resulted in the emission, over a period of many years, of toxic fumes and insupportable smells which seriously affected the health of those then living in Orihuela Costa and in particular residents of Las Ramblas, barely a kilometre away from the site. Joint action in 2014 by CLARO and the Altamira community, aided by the expertise of VERTIVEGA, resulted in legal denunciรกs and an intensive media campaign, both in local and national newspapers.
was considered only a first step and further action, which would be insisted on by the Valencia government, would consist of ensuring that any continued decomposition did not constitute dangers of new escapes of toxic fumes or damage to the ground and ground water below the mountain of rubbish. It is also apparent that studies are being done to encourage Valencia to approve the next phase of the clean up. Finally there would be the question of how to remove the neutralised waste either by physical removal or a process of microbial removal and regeneration. Satisfaction with the results of this determined campaign to defend the rights of residents and protect them from dangers to their health were evident in the course of the Forum but so too was the message that efforts should not be relaxed and would have to be maintained to put a definitive end to the suffering which had been inflicted on residents through the shortcomings of the political system for so many years.

New rules for visiting circuses The Valencian Government has prohibited circuses with wild animals. The Valencian Government has practically unanimously approved a proposal that prohibits circuses to use wild animals anywhere in the region. The Valencian Community has now become the second region in Spain to approve an initiative of this type after Cataluña. In the region there are 24 municipalities that had already declared a
ban to be free of circuses with animals and bull fighting, including Callosa de Segura, Orihuela and Pilar de la Horadada in the Vega Baja. The initiative will require the Valencian Government to negotiate with circuses to set a deadline for them to stop using wild animals and relocate them. According to InfoCircus, it is impossible to satisfy the physiological, mental of social needs of these animals in the circus
Spanish singer stands by her Man-U Eurovision singer Edurne has made it clear she will stand by her boyfriend, Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, through the investigations into the so-called ’Torbe Case’. The pornographic film producer Torbe is said to have been involved in trafficking underage girls and forcing them into the sex trade. De Gea has been named by a protected witness, a 17-year-old woman, as having organised an encounter with her, another woman and two famous footballers in which the ladies were forced into prostitution, beaten and raped in a hotel room, and had their earnings taken off them. They named Athletic Bilbao forward Iker Muniain and another player, who was on the national under-21s team four years ago, as the men who abused them in the hotel. Their ordeal was filmed and, according to Torbe, given to De Gea as a potential client. However, De Gea and Muniain say they know absolutely nothing about the case.
Spanish team-trainer Vicente del Bosque says De Gea, who has just played his début UEFA Euro match in which Spain beat the Czech Republic 1-0 thanks to a late goal by Barça FC’s Gerard Piqué. Edurne, who represented Spain in the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest, posted a picture of De Gea on her Twitter site with several hashtags, emojis showing applause, biceps and Spanish flags, with the words, “Go, David, go Spain!” This was her first public ‘statement’ following the news about her partner being investigated in the Torbe case.

Ramadan uproar A Spanish head teacher in Melilla has caused uproar after telling Muslim children not to fast during Ramadan. It is alleged he advised his Muslim pupils not to fast during Ramadan as it may negatively affect their health. Alfonso Garcia Zafira, of Juan Caro public primary school, sent an advisory letter to parents warning of the possible health consequences. These included fainting, migraines and heat stroke during sports activities and games stemming from ‘dehydration or lack of sustenance’. He recommended parents allow their children to skip the traditional fasting and attached a note from the Islamic studies teacher supporting him. It read: “Students who have not reached puberty – and all who study here are under 12 – are exempt from fasting under Islamic teaching.”

No interest rate rise until 2020:
Global uncertainty means more misery for savers
I
nterest rates in Britain will not rise until the middle of 2020, according to investors. Rates have been frozen at an all-time low of 0.5 per cent since March 2009 when the UK was in the depths of recession. But projections on financial markets now suggest rates will not reach 0.75 per cent until May 2020 – resulting in more than a decade of record low borrowing costs. Experts warn that the Bank of England could even cut rates towards zero in the next 12 months to inject fresh life into the economy. Here at Seagate Wealth we provide a range of flexible, cost effective savings schemes from leading product providers. Regular saving plans offer so much more than your typical pension. They accommodate the ever changing world that we live in and provide a much more flexible approach to saving. Alternatively, here in Spain, the Prudential International’s Prudence Bond is very popular. This bond has gone from strength to strength and consistently returned over 5% per annum.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE Until recently investors tended to see the possible departure of Britain from the European Union as a domestic issue. In the last week that parochial view has broadened. Central banks in The United States and Japan both postponed changes to monetary policy, at least in part because of the uncertainties posed by next Thursday's referendum. At the Bank of Japan some board members "were concerned that even if the BOJ acted this week, the market impact of its move would fade if a 'Brexit' vote rocked global financial markets". In the States, Federal Reserve chairperson Janet Yellen said it "could have consequences for economic and financial conditions in global financial markets". Sterling would inevitably be first to feel the effect of a vote to Leave. Immediately such a result became clear the pound would be marked down harshly, across the board. The Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee noted in Thursday's minutes that "were the UK to vote to leave the EU, sterling's exchange rate would fall further, perhaps sharply". Far less clear is what would happen to the pound after the dust had settled and what the effect would be on the euro. Some analysts believe it would not take sterling long to regain its position against the euro. They base their argument on the assumption that Brexit would pose an existential threat to the single European currency and possibly even to the EU itself. Against other currencies, however, they would foresee protracted weakness for the pound as UK politicians and business leaders struggled to define new directions for the country and its economy.
In the meantime, though, neither the EU nor the UK economy seems to be suffering unduly from Brexit-angst. During the last seven days Britain reported stronger retail sales and lower unemployment. Sales were up by 0.9% in May and 6.0% higher than in the same month last year. Average earnings rose by 2.0% in the year to April, representing a real increase (correcting for inflation) of 1.7%, while unemployment ticked down from 5.1% to 5%, its lowest level in more than a decade. Across the Channel Euroland figures showed industrial production increasing by a monthly 1.1%, putting it 2.0% higher on the year. The number of people in work went up by 0.36% in the first quarter and the trade surplus widened. The only real wobble was in France, where there have been strikes and demonstrations against President Hollande's efforts to modernise the labour laws. There are no premier-league economic data on the agenda for the coming week. Britain's contributions will be Rightmove's index of residential property asking prices, public sector net borrowing, the CBI's assessments of manufacturers' order books and retail sales and Gfk's barometer of consumer confidence. The offerings from Euroland include consumer and investor confidence and a string of provisional purchasing managers' index readings. But will investors care about any of those? No a lot. With Thursday's referendum now seen as posing a global threat both the pound and the euro can be expected to be given the run-around as opinion pollsters and bookmakers report their results and prices. And it could all get very messy next Friday, whatever the outcome.
Seven out of 10 asylum requests rejected The Spanish Commission for Refugee Aid (CEAR) has warned that last year just three out of every 10 requests for asylum that were examined were accepted in Spain. That’s 31 percent, down from 44 percent the year before. In other words, Spain rejected seven out of every 10 requests that were accepted for consideration. The increased controls at borders and inaction when it comes to offering legal means to request international protection in Europe and Spain has caused “a serious setback” and has put a human right such as asylum “in danger,” according to the yearly report from CEAR. In the case of Spain, which in 2015 registered 15,000 requests, the document reveals that just 3,240 were resolved, of which 31 percent (1,020) were granted. The EU average for granting such requests is 50 percent. The percentage has fallen despite a rise in the volume of requests, the report explains. The 15,000 registered in Spain in 2015 is well up on the 6,000 seen the year before. “Spain has broken a scrawny record,” explained CEAR general secretary Estrella Galán at the presentation of the report, given that it
has only received 1 percent of the total number of requests in the EU, which come in at 1.3 million. Countries such as Germany and Sweden have seen 476,000 and 162,000 requests, respectively. By nationality, Spain has received most asylum requests from Syria, with 5,724 people last year. Next is Ukraine, with 3,440, and Palestine, with 809. Of the requests, 63 percent were from men, and 37 percent from women. CEAR warns that European states are putting “impediments” in the way of refugees exercising their right to asylum, forcing them to seek routes that are more and more dangerous, among which are those that include crossing the Mediterranean, which is “the deadliest route in the world,” according to the NGO. Galán explained that one in every 27 people who tries to reach Europe via that sea route ends up dead, a rate that has risen over the months of April and May to one in every 17. CEAR estimates that 3,000 people have died so far in 2016 trying to make the crossing. “International agreements have been left to flounder in the Mediterranean,” she concluded.
Pilar Tapas route The Pilar Tapas and Cocktails Route is now in full swing and will continue until 26th June. There are 18 bars and restaurants offering 34 tapas and 6 cocktails, with traditional tapas costing €2, contemporary tapas €2.50 and cocktails also €2.50.

11pm and the cocktails from 10pm to 1am each day. To participate in the prize draw, simply get one of the promotional leaflets stamped in at least five of the establishments.

Citrus trees are great in the garden. They look fabulous, have beautiful sweet smelling flowers, and provide wonderful fruit. And the good news is there are citrus for even the smallest garden or terrace. Try dwarf citrus trees if you are short on space. You can grow them in large pots, and even though they are small, dwarf citrus trees can produce a very reasonable harvest. deficiency commonly known as chlorosis. It is particularly common in alkaline soils. Treat this with iron chelates (Quelatos de hierro). Mix and apply it according to the packet instructions, as it can either be sprayed on as a foliage feed or watered into the soil around the tree’s root zone. In warm weather you should see a difference in less than a week.
Pruning: Prune citrus trees occasionally. They do not require heavy or regular pruning. Also remove any "suckers", or shoots growing from the root stock and any "wild" shoots growing beyond the general shape of the tree. These will often be long, straight, quick-growing branches that do not follow the overall form or shape of the tree. Moderately Citrus trees are from the Rutaceae family and are common in gardens all over Spain. They form small, compact evergreen trees, are usually slow growing and have a shallow root system. The best thing about citrus is that they are fairly easy to grow and need little pruning. All varieties ripen slowly and fruit can be stored on the tree to be harvested over months. Remember that citrus love a hot sunny spot and plenty of water. If you are
and ensure water drains away from the trunk. Fill in the remaining hole with a mixture of compost or potting soil and the soil from your garden. Citrus trees like a rich well-draining soil. If you are planting a dwarf citrus in a pot, use straight potting soil and fill it in to a similar level. However, do not fill the pot to the edge. Leave some room at the top to allow space to water thoroughly. Place the pot up on blocks and be sure there are plenty of drainage holes in the bottom. Do not let the pot sit directly in a saucer or puddle of water.
Water: For sweet juicy fruit citrus trees need sufficient water in the dry season. Water them thoroughly 2-3 times a week. If in doubt if your tree is getting enough water, use common sense and feel the leaves. If they feel cool and thick, the tree is fine, but if they feel dry and leathery, the tree probably needs a drink.
Fertilizer: Fertilize the tree with an appropriate fertilizer. Fertilizers are available in special citrus or citrus-and-avocado formulations. Apply them according to package instructions, typically three to four times a year for slow-release types. If your citrus tree has yellow leaves, with darker, green veins, this indicates an iron planting them in a pot, use good quality potting mix and feed regularly. Watch for pests and diseases because they can be prone to sucking insects and citrus leaf miner. But aside from these problems, they make the perfect tree for a small garden, terrace or balcony.
Planting: Dig a large hole, remove the tree from its pot and remove any burlap around the roots. Place the tree on a mound of soil. Add or remove soil underneath to adjust the height so that the crown (the transition from trunk to roots) is slightly above it. This will allow for some settling
thin the foliage if it grows excessively dense, to promote air circulation and availability of light. Generally, train citrus trees as shrubs or hedges. If you would like to remove a few lower branches to give it more of a tree shape, go ahead, but do not overdo it.
Pests: There are some pests that attack citrus and one of the most common is the citrus leaf miner. It is not life threatening, but it will reduce the yield. Look out for silvery trails in the leaf – that is made by the miner and it distorts the leaf. Spraying with a white oil preparation will soon control that. Any black discolouration on the leaf is a black sooty mould. It is always associated with one or other of the so called sucking insects. These could be
mealy bugs, which are small, white, furry looking insects, or it could be white fly, scale or aphids. Spraying with white oil or a soft systemic insecticide will usually solve the problem.
Commercial products are available but the following recipe works well: Use about a cup of ordinary cooking oil, half a cup of water and a tiny amount of ordinary washing-up detergent. Dilute with water so it is about 40 parts water to one of this mixture. Stir it and spray it on. Remember to get good coverage of the leaves. Keep citrus trees happy and healthy by using organic based fertilizers. These products do more than feed the plants they also feed the soil and encourage earthworm and soil microbial activity. If you follow the simple rules of fertilizing, watering and tender loving care, your trees will reward you with plenty of sweet fruit. Marc Vijverberg

For a treat that is sweet, the banana is better … We wrote here recently on the merits of the egg. The favourable response was such that the editor called me in and announced that if I can come up with another such startling meal for mankind this week, I am to be promoted to the position of the paper’s official food critic. (What do you think of that, lads?) One feeder (as in feed-back) to the meal in an egg-cup, came from my friend, Noel. Noel is a great believer in the benefit of the banana. The following account of the boosting of the banana is all down to my friend’s fruit fervour. One way or the other, I guarantee that you are going to treat the banana with more respect after reading this. You are going to read it … aren’t you?! Research has shown that just two bananas will give enough energy for a ninety minute workout. This is why you see long distance runners, or fellows walking from Killucan to Croagh Patrick, eating bananas along the route. The banana contains three natural sugars; sucrose, fructose and glucose and this gives a substantial and sustained boost of energy.
Anyone unfortunate enough to be suffering from depression - or regular readers of this column, can have their equilibrium restored by eating just one little banana. This is because the
banana contains tryptophan, which the body converts into serotonin and this helps to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. Bananas are high in vitamin B which helps calm the nervous system. As our featured tropical fruit is high in potassium, yet low in salt, the US Food & Drug Administration recommends the banana’s ability to
reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke. 200 students at a Twickenham school were helped through their exams by eating bananas for breakfast and again at lunch. The potassium made the pupils more alert and the school’s
results proved the benefit. There are two particular passing problems (watch it Bernie) that the banana helps to alleviate. One is constipation and the other is a hangover. God forbid that any of you, dear readers, would ever know anything about either affliction, but I have to admit to having got a belt of both in my time. As a result of one, I suffered morning sickness during my misspent youth. Leaving that aside
altogether, snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep the blood pressure up and avoid the morning sickness that the sisters sometimes suffer from. Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Australia found that pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate, crisps and chips. (You should see the state of the newsroom!) Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found that the most obese were likely to be in high pressure jobs. (I have learned over the years that the one word I must never use is ‘fat’ – or the messenger gets slaughtered). The above report concluded that to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels. Snacking on bananas will do the trick nicely. Drinking the water of boiled banana peel is said to act as an antidepressant. A skin put in along with a roast will tenderise the meat. A banana has more protein, carbohydrate, phosphorus, bran and vitamin A than an apple. Why then would we say that it is the apple a day which keeps the doctor away? Even the skin of the banana has
numerous benefits. Rub the inside of the skin on mosquito bites, or the sting of a nettle. The same treatment is said to be a cure for warts. The inside of a banana shin rubbed on your teeth is a great whitener. The manganese, magnesium and potassium whitens the enamel and a radiant smile! Another benefit is that if you have a thorn in your finger, the rub of the peel is said to draw the thorn or splinter. You can then shine your shoes with the rest of the skin, after rubbing off with a soft cloth. Next time you take on to clean the family silver, try using a mix of banana skins in water. This works well for Noel at any rate. Those of you with rose bushes will find no better food for your plants than the remainder of all that peel. Should any of you slip on one of those skins … I have Noel’s number!
There seems to be a cure for everything but heredity.

WELCOME TO MARRAKECH with Vivalia Travel Marrakech, also known as Marrakesh, is one of the imperial cities of Morocco. The city is divided into two distinct parts: the Medina (the historical city) and the new European modern district called Gueliz or Ville Nouvelle.
Marrakech, also known as Marrakesh, is one of the imperial cities of Morocco. The name Marrakech originates from the Amazigh (Berber) words mur (n) akush, which means "Land of God." It is the third largest city in Morocco, after Casablanca and Rabat, and lies near the foothills of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. It is a few hours from the foot of the Sahara Desert. Its location and contrasting landscape has made it an enviable destination in Morocco. The city is divided into two distinct parts: the Medina, the historical city, and the new European modern district called Gueliz or Ville Nouvelle. The Medina is full of intertwining narrow passageways and local shops full of character. In contrast, Gueliz plays host to modern restaurants, fast food chains and big brand stores.
THINGS TO SEE AND DO There is much to see and do in Marrakech. An entire day can be dedicated to wandering around

IES Playa Flamenca Two charities work Step into to open a year late together Summer ■ MIREILLE TODDINGTON mireille@costablancapeople.com
The brick building that will house the IES Playa Flamenca, a school which is currently located in 58 pre-fabricated units next to a ravine next to the A-7 in Orihuela Costa, will open its doors in September – a year later than scheduled – according to the Department of Education, the school management and the Association of Parents of Students. This is one of the most anticipated educational facilities on the Coast, which was awarded in 2008 and has seen numerous delays in construction having gone through five different companies, bankrupting four of them and paralyzing the work year after year. In fact, its inauguration was scheduled for the beginning of the 2016 educational year, but was then
postponed until Christmas last year, intending to take advantage of the holiday period for the transfer, neither of which actually happened. The parent and teacher association, AMPA said: “We hope this may be the final date because we need to start clearing the prefabs to see what can and cannot be taken to the new centre if the move is going to take place this summer.” There is also more controversy surrounding the new school at Playa Flamenca as parents demand improvements to the only access bridge, which travels over the AP7, for easy transport by bus. The bridge that separates the school from the other developments is very narrow and can only just about accommodate to two cars crossing from opposite directions. It is impossible to fit any other vehicle at the same time as the school bus and parents are concerned there may be an accident.
The Costa Blanca is very fortunate to have many charities working dayafter-day for the benefit of people living in the area and offering support to them in times of need. Two these charities are HELP Vega Baja and Age Concern. Both are well established charities with centres in both San Miguel and Torrevieja. This week the two charities have agreed to collaborate on a scheme set up by Age Concern known at KIT – Keep in Touch. This valuable scheme works with people who perhaps are a little vulnerable, informing Age Concern that they would like someone to telephone them every day (Monday to Friday) to check that they are ok and don’t need any additional assistance. If there is no response, volunteers from Age Concern then contact the alternative number provided which is
usually a friend or neighbour, who would be asked to call in and help. After discussions between the Presidents of both charities, Maureen Payne of Age Concern and Michele Masson, HELP Vega Baja will now include this scheme within its members benefits. Michele Masson said: “All charities work very hard to be able to meet the needs of those in the local area we serve. Working alongside other charities is extremely important and helps to ensure that limited resources are channelled in the right direction. We are absolutely delighted that Age Concern has agreed to work with us in this venture and hope that this is just the beginning of charities throughout the Costa Blanca sharing knowledge and resources to the benefit of everyone.”
Daya Nueva drug find The Guardia Civil has arrested three people for growing marijuana. The suspects had 970 plants growing at a rented house in Daya Vieja and officers arrested a Spanish woman aged 24 and two men, of 21 and 40 years old who are Spanish and Swedish respectively, for an alleged drug related offence. The suspects lived in an isolated house in Daya Vieja with about 1,500 metres of land, and it could be seen from outside that they were growing what seemed to be marijuana plants which were more than 150cm high. The officers, who had been alerted by a member of the public, came to the house and they could see, even standing outside the exterior wall, what looked like a fairly organised plantation. The crop was visible despite large shrubs that had been planted to try to obscure the view and some provisional fences that had been placed around the area. After keeping watch they stopped a vehicle and identified the driver, who was the Swedish man and he was nervous. He
claimed he had left his papers at another house and said he had nothing to do with this one but they arrested him so he could be identified at the station. Other officers from Almoradí searched the house with the woman and the man's permission and found a marijuana plantation of about 250 square metres with 970 cannabis plants of the variety known as 'cream mandarine'. The suspects have been put at the disposition of the court system on suspicion of an alleged public health offence.

Winners of the Spectacle Wearer of World refugee day the Year Competition Announced Specsavers Opticas have announced the winners of the Spectacle Wearer of the Year Awards 2016. The first prize of €500 and a pair of designer glasses has been awarded to Tynesha Dudgeon, who submitted a sassy, fun picture of herself in her oversized black frames. The judges felt the image really expressed her style and how central her glasses were to her identity. She commented, that she loves her glasses because "They are a great fashion accessory and now everyone wants to wear glasses!”. The judges thought that this was an excellent message and so combined with her fantastic look, they felt she was a worthy winner. Congratulations to Tynesha. There are also 4 semi-finalists from the different age categories who have all won one pair of designer glasses worth €159. 1. Imanol Ortega 2. Zlatka Brodie 3. Jennifer Franks 4. Antonia Belmonte Gámez They were chosen as runners up in their age categories as they are all really proud of wearing glasses and have given great reasons why they love them, as well as fantastic pictures of them showing their own style and favourite frames. As the competition winners show, glasses are a wonderful accessory that you can use to follow the latest trends, express your personal style, flatter your face and bring out your eyes.
Here are some tips from Specsavers Opticas to help everyone look wonderful in their glasses, just like these worthy winners. 1. Consider your face shape Different style glasses will suit different face shapes, so make sure
you know your face shape before you shop and choose your styles accordingly. Try a wide frame with a strong top line for a rectangular face, an angular frame to flatter a round face and an oval frame for a square face shape. 2. Take into account your colouring There are so many colours and materials to choose from that it can be hard to know where to start. By choosing colours that match your hair colour and skin type, you can find the
glasses which complement you perfectly. Black hair goes well with metallic frames, blondes should try lightweight styles with delicate warm colours, or if you have light grey hair then rich deep colours or metal styles work well. 3. Express your style through your glasses - Glasses don’t have to be boring and with the great two for one offers available at Specsavers Opticas, you can choose a day and night style, or a colourful and a more conservative option. Think of your glasses as an extension of your wardrobe and an accessory to dress your face! This way you will complement your fashion sense with your glasses choice and set off your look perfectly. 4. Ensure a perfect fit - Did you know that glasses come in different sizes just like clothes? Make sure that frames do not slip or rub, they will be uncomfortable and won’t look right. Specsavers Opticas has introduced Digital Precision Eyecare a cutting edge new way of selecting and fitting customers’ glasses, using imaging software on tablet devices. This is very clever kit and gets customers much more involved with the frames and lens selection. It’s a quick and easy process which can ensure a perfect fit every time. Specsavers staff are fully trained to offer style advice on the latest trends and styles to suit all face shapes and help make glasses wearers look and feel great.

Monday the 20th June was world refugee day. To draw attention to the plight of refugees across the world a film has been released depicting a family’s struggle to leave their home with their two children. What is different about the film and the reason it might well have an impact is that it does not include black faces or strange languages. The family are British fleeing from their British home and uses language and expressions that we would use in our own households. The film was made by actress and film maker Arta Dobroshi who was herself, a refugee after fleeing Kosovo as a teenager. She wants to highlight the fact that all that separates ‘free’ people from refugees is luck. She believes that people naturally want to help others but that sometimes their own fear takes over and prevents it from happening. Arta suggests that what refugees really need to know is that someone, somewhere cares about them. ‘People who live in freedom don’t realise how much impact their thoughts and their
care have for refugees – it literally saves lives because it makes you go on with hope in your heart,’ explains Arta. She describes in a Guardian article how a visit to the refugee camp in which she was staying by Richard Gere gave her and her family hope and helped them realise that people knew about their plight and cared. World refugee day has been organised by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. The day aimed to commemorate the strength, courage and resilience of millions of refugees and you can sign a petition to show your support on the UNHCR website http://www.unhcr.org/refugeeday/us/ . The film ‘Home’ premiered in London and was released on the 20th June. It is a 20-minute film and is directed by Daniel Mulloy who was the winner of the best short film Bafta in 2006. It has been funded by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
Miss Great Britain causes scandal on Spanish-based reality show
the show’s host Caroline Flack, feel the organisation is ‘living in the dark ages’. The 36-year-old host said in a tweet: “Feel even more sorry for Zara now she’s been de-crowned. She’s a very sweet girl. What even is ‘Miss GB’ ? Are we living in the dark ages?” Others complained that the organisation was guilty of feeding the double standard, where ‘men are patted on the back after a romp’ but women are shamed. The organisation later tweeted: “To be clear we have no problem at all with sex-it is perfectly natural. We simply can’t condone what happened on national TV.” Zara admitted regretting the incident on last Thursday night’s show, saying to cameras: “You know when you’re in the moment and it just happens. That’s really not like me at all. Why couldn’t we have just gone to sleep?” She will be replaced by runner-up and Miss North Lanarkshire Deone Robertson, who will now compete in the Miss World competition. Love Island is filmed in Majorca and is a dating reality show between members of the public.
Opinion divided as Miss Great Britain stripped of her title after having sex on reality show filmed in Spain called Love Island. Zara Holland, 20, was decrowned after her on-screen intimate moment with 24-year-old Wolverhampton scaffolder Alex Bowen. The organisation said behind the beauty pageant said: “We pride ourselves on promoting the positivity of pageants in modern society and this includes the promotion of a strong, positive female role model in our winners. The feedback we have received from pageant insiders and members of the general public is such that we cannot promote Zara as a positive role model moving forward. “We wholly understand that everyone makes mistakes, but Zara, as an ambassador for Miss Great Britain, simply did not uphold the responsibility expected of the title.” However, some viewers, including
Five road crash deaths shut A-7 in Murcia Region A spectacular crash between two lorries and two cars on the A-7 motorway through the Murcia Region has left three dead and four seriously injured. One of the refrigeration lorries veered over the central reservation and overturned and another collided with it, causing both to burst into flames, which spread to one of the two cars which ran into them. The driver and passenger of the burning car, and the driver of the first lorry which overturned were killed by the fire. Another man, who was at the wheel of the second lorry, suffered very serious burns and multiple broken bones, whilst the driver and passenger of the second car and a Guardia Civil officer had to be treated for smoke inhalation. Five ambulances, a helicopter, the Guardia Civil and the fire brigade rushed to the scene, and the four injured parties were taken to different hospitals including the Virgen de la Arrixaca and the Reina Sofía. The motorway was blocked off in a southbound direction at the site of the
Suzanne O’Connell
accident – in the tied hamlet of Monteagudo towards the coast north of its 'parent' municipality, Murcia city – and traffic was diverted down the RM423, rejoining the A-7 further down. Intermittent tailbacks were reported in a northbound direction. The multiple tragedy, recorded at exactly 2.33pm on Saturday, was one of three fatal crashes in the region within minutes of each other. A driver became trapped in his car on the RM-424 between the wineproducing town of Yecla, and Pinoso, at kilometre 15.5, and had died before the fire brigade was able to cut him free from the wreckage. A woman driving the second car involved in the crash, recorded at 2.17pm, managed to get out by herself. Just three hours later on the high street, or C/ Mayor in El Raal – a tied hamlet of Murcia – a motorbike and a car smashed into each other. A man was taken to the Reina Sofía hospital, and a woman went into cardiac arrest at the scene. Medics continued to work on trying to revive her as the Armed Forces emergency response unit took her to hospital, but she passed away before she reached the centre.

Noos trial Spanish prosecutors have called for the King's brother-in-law to be given a 19and-a-half year jail term for alleged embezzlement in a trial that has also seen his wife Princess Cristina accused of tax evasion. The princess and her husband Inaki Urdangarin are among 17 suspects who went on trial in January as part of a case
Princess Cristina that involves business dealings by the Noos Institute, a not-for-profit organisation based in Palma which Urdangarin founded and chaired from 2004 to 2006. The case centres on accusations that Urdangarin used his royal connections to win inflated public contracts to stage sporting and other events and then syphoned off some of the proceeds into Aizoon, a firm he jointly ran with Cristina, to fund a lavish lifestyle. Prosecutor Pedro Horrach called for Urdangarin -- who along with his wife was present at the court in Palma on the Mediterranean island of Majorca -- to be jailed for 19-and-a-half years and fined 980,000 euros. He also asked for Urdangarin's then business partner Diego Torres, who is also accused of embezzlement, to be jailed for 16-and-a-half years.
But since the start of the case, prosecutors have refused to press charges against Cristina, who along with her husband is suspected of using Aizoon for personal expenses including work on their mansion in Barcelona, which reduced the firm's taxable profits. Instead, an organisation called ‘Manos Limpias’, or Clean Hands, brought the tax evasion case against Cristina, as Spanish law allows private groups to initiate criminal proceedings. On Friday, the group's lawyer called for King Felipe VI's sister -- who has denied knowledge of her husband's activities -to be jailed for eight years. But Manos Limpias' image was tarnished earlier in the trial when the head of the organisation was detained for alleged extortion and other charges, accused of asking Cristina's lawyers for money in exchange for dropping the accusations. The corruption case involving the princess caused an uproar in Spain when it came to light, sullying the reputation of the monarchy and becoming a symbol of perceived corruption among Spain's elites. It was also part of the reason behind King Juan Carlos's abdication in June 2014. Meanwhile, the defence for Urdangarin, Torres and the Infanta have requested a complete pardon in their final conclusions. The lawyer for the Infanta recalled in her defence she had already paid the totality of more than 500,000 € for civil responsibility bail. The defences for the main accused in the Nóos Case, Diego Torres and Iñaki Urdangarin and the defence for the
Infanta Cristina de Borbón have requested in their final conclusions during the judgement for the complete acquittal on all charges. The lawyer for the sister of the King, noted the correct payments of all the civil responsibilities, requested by the accusers, 587,413 € and asked for Manos Limpias to pay the court costs, the only party to accuse the Infanta for ‘bad procedural faith’ demanding ‘the reestablishment to justice for Cristina de Borbón and to impose on the union a sanction. The legal counsel showed his ‘complete disagreement’ over the conclusions for the three main characters in the case.
Claim and counter-claim Pau Molins said that in accord with article 247 of the Civil Prosecution Law, Manos Limpias must face an economic fine ‘expected in the cases of abusing rights and which have been imposed in other procedures’. He citied the sentence from the Supreme Court on May 7 2015 where the upper chamber ‘accused Manos Limpias of trivialising the capacity to exercise penal actions and to channel these via situations absolutely distant from Justice’ ‘The same situation which lamentably we have had to face in this present case’ concluded Molins, which he had placed in his allegation against Manos Limpias in the absence of their lawyer in the process, Virginia López Negrete, who has not attended the hearing. The sanction could be between 180 and 6,000 €. The case will be ready for sentence on a date which will depend on the time it takes to read the reports, but should be before 30th June.

Pride of Spain Awards 2016 As nominations for this year’s Costa Blanca People Pride of Spain Awards begin to arrive at the office, we take a look at why and how you should nominate that special person, or group, in our community. Now in its tenth year, the Costa Blanca People’s Pride of Spain Awards celebrates ordinary people who do extraordinary things, with nominees reflecting the core value of giving for the good of other people, and the community at large here on the Costa Blanca. This year there are 13 categories, including Outstanding Bravery, Child of Courage, Carer of the Year and Community Spirit Award. Once you decide what category your nominee fits into you can nominate someone - a family member, a colleague, a community member or even someone you respect and admire from afar who you feel deserves recognition for what they do or have achieved. At the heart of the Costa Blanca People’s Pride of Spain
Awards is Costa Blanca People boss, Claire Richards, who started the original concept and continues to drive the initiative
with her hard work and commitment. Claire told us, “When we launched the Costa Blanca People Pride of Spain Awards in 2007, our aim was simple – to unearth and celebrate our unsung heroes the people who make this
community great. It’s hard to believe that it’s ten years later, and The Pride of Spain Awards have exceeded our wildest expectations. Each year, we continue to be overwhelmed by the stories of selfless actions, courage, compassion and heroism. This is our chance to celebrate the fact that every day countless expat residents go out of their way to help their neighbours, often receiving little recognition for the extraordinary contributions they make to their communities. All of us know someone who deserves such recognition for their selfless actions. It might be your mum, your sibling, your cousin, your best friend, neighbour or school teacher. I urge you to take a few minutes and nominate them for a Pride of Spain Award in 2016. On behalf of everyone at the Costa Blanca People, I would like to thank our readers, sponsors, political and community leaders who lend their ongoing support to the Costa Blanca People Pride of Spain Awards.”

DOES EVERYONE HAVE A GUARDIAN ANGEL?
One thing I get asked a lot is “Does everyone have a Guardian Angel” – and the answer as always, is yes they do! You may not see them, but it doesn’t mean that they are not there. Let me explain through typical questions I am often asked:
What is a Guardian Angel? A Guardian Angel is, as it sounds, an angel who has been assigned to you from birth, to help to guide you in life until you depart this world for the next. A beautiful being of light, the Guardian Angel works on a high frequency of energy which isn’t visible to us earthlings. You are very precious to your angel and they have been by your side through thick and thin, through the good times and the bad times, even though you didn’t know they were there, or that you could have asked for their help. The difference is now that you’re aware of their presence you can acknowledge them by saying ‘Hello, I know you are there, thank you for being my very own Guardian Angel”. I would be extremely surprised if you didn’t get a tingle down your back as you say these words out loud, because it’s a wonderful feeling to be able to talk to your angel and to know they can hear you.
Who is my Guardian Angel? I don’t know. Seriously! Only you, once developed in communicating with the angels, will know who your Guardian Angel is. The reason is simple – your Angel is assigned specifically to YOU – no-one else. However, it is up to you to make the first move because angels cannot always intervene as us human beings have something they don’t, and it’s called ‘free will’. Your angel is waiting for your call whether you need help, love, confirmation, or all of these combined and more. They will be by your side forever, lovingly guiding and inspiring you.
Is my angel male or female? The angels in principal are genderless. However, throughout history, angels are mostly depicted as male although your Guardian Angel can show themselves to you in whatever form they wish. Think about Archangel Gabriel. I always see this mighty angel of the white ray as female, as Gabriel is the angel of women, children and peace – often depicted holding an olive branch or a white dove. Other people see Gabriel as male. It really doesn’t matter, and speaking from my heart, I know that my Guardian Angel really doesn’t mind whether I see them as male or female. The most important thing is that I am very much aware of my
angel’s existence, and they are aware of my faith, trust and belief in them.
Will my Guardian Angel step in if I make a mistake? It is my belief that they try to steer us in the right direction but as we have free will, they will sometimes stay ‘in the wings’ and watch to see which path we take because as a human being, we have to make our own choices. That’s what life’s lessons are all about and we wouldn’t grow spiritually if we hadn’t encountered any obstacles along the way. If you take a wrong turning, your angel will do everything in their power to help to guide you back to where you need to be, but it is up to you, to notice those signs and to understand how to talk to your angel through learning as much as you can about them. If you make a mistake don’t ever think that your angel will disown you because they won’t – they never judge, and will always love you unconditionally, no matter what. I don’t feel that I deserve a Guardian Angel Why? And don’t say, “Because nothing good ever happens to me”, as this is why the Universe has repaid in kind, when you send out negative vibes. Learning about the angels is like starting all over
again and going back to when you were small so you will start to see the world through the innocent and trusting eyes of a child. You need to start afresh with a clean slate and if you ask, your angel will help because they know without a doubt, that you deserve their love, protection and guidance. Remember that what you put out, you get back, so only think positive thoughts and have belief in your heart. You do deserve the love of your angel, and you do deserve the good things that life has to offer. Once you realise this, you will be ready to start attuning yourself to the loving vibration of your Guardian Angel. Does my angel have wings? There has been much debate about this subject for hundreds, if not thousands of
years. Throughout the ages, going back as far as the 4th Century, angels were depicted as having 2 wings. They were always shown to be beautiful with a halo of light over their heads. Some say that only the Seraphim have wings, other angels do not. I feel it is a matter of belief. If, during a meditation you see your Guardian Angel with wings, then this is how they want to appear to you. Many people believe that angels throughout the ages have been painted with wings because it is a way of an artist showing his creativity. I believe that the ‘wings’ of an angel are their big, beautiful and powerful aura that shines down around them creating prisms of light that appear as ‘featherlike’. So if you believe your angel has wings, then they do!

Cash or Credit? Rebecca Serwotka – Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada. So you’ve found that perfect home ... all you need now is money! Do you use your savings or do you take on a mortgage? These are two relevant questions, as when buying a home in Spain the legal costs vary depending on which of the two options you choose. I always advise our clients that allowing 13% on top of the purchase price will cover you for all legal costs when buying with cash, however you’ll need to budget for 15% on top of the purchase price if you take on a Spanish mortgage. The tax for purchasing a resale property is 10%; mortgage or not, but it’s the other incidentals that push the costs up like notary, land registry, mortgage processing and lawyer’s fees. An example with one of the local banks is a Mortgage rate at 3% fixed over 25 years. This is available to any non-resident of Spain up until their 74th birthday. When applying for a Spanish mortgage, you’ll need to provide proof of income, bank statements, salary slips or pensions, credit report and N.I.E. certificate. All other documentation will be related to the house you intend to purchase, i.e. reservation contract, title deeds, etc. of which your agent will be able to provide. Most agents can help with your mortgage application and the local banks have English
speakers. If your mortgage processing fee is more than 1% you need to get your negotiation skills at the ready, as they do try to charge a little more. The difference will be your agent’s commission for introducing you to that particular bank. I strongly believe no agent should be compensated for their recommendation. If you are a non-resident of Spain, you could borrow up to 60% of the purchase price. Some Banks do offer up to 70% but be careful if you are offered 100% as a non-resident... I have done my research and they do not exist! All banks are happy to deal with the client direct but I know from experience, many clients feel more comfortable when being introduced to a preferred bank. Remember however, Spanish mortgages are the same as they are everywhere else in the world ... if you do not keep up with the repayments, the home will be at risk of being repossessed, so don’t let your dream become a nightmare. So when it comes to making an offer on that “Dream Home” ... mortgages are obtainable but cash is always king! Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough!

Frat Boys: Inside America´s Fraternities BBC2 – 10.00 pm During one term at the University of Central Florida, This World follows the life of a group of frat boys as they embark on the pledging process, when new recruits have to prove themselves before they can become a fraternity brother. Most kids are joining because fraternities provide access to a powerful network of alumni throughout the US. But each year, students die or are injured in barbaric initiation rituals, known as hazing, and some argue that the way fraternity system is set up allows sexual assaults to occur during drunken campus parties. Research has shown that fraternity men are three times more likely to sexual assault than non-fraternity men.

Born to be wild Four Iberian Lynx – an endangered species which has not bred in the wild for decades – have given birth to 14 cubs in the mountains near Toledo, and Members of the public were offered the chance to vote on names for them via the World Wildlilfe Fund (WWF) website. The mothers were bred in captivity and gradually taught how to survive in the wild before being released, in a bid to revive the flagging population of this leopard-like mountain cat. Toledo's mountains were once one of the most heavily-inhabited areas of Iberian Lynx, because they are the ideal setting for the animals to thrive. Lynx were released into the wild in the southern region of Andalucía as part of the LIFE+Iberlince project, but now, 27 cubs have been detected outside of this area. Names to be voted on were listed on the WWF web page wwf.es/nombres delinces, and each year they start with a different letter of the alphabet. Now in 2016, the WWF has reached the letter ‘N’.

Two earthquakes have been reported in the province of Girona, inland from the Costa Brava. The first was recorded at 8.09am on Friday in Vilamalla, and reached 2.5 on the Richter scale, meaning most of the population did not feel it. However, the second, at 8.57am on Friday which measured 3.5 on the Richter scale with its epicentre between the towns of Vilafant and Banyoles, and
caused widespread panic among residents. A flood of calls was received by the 112 emergency hotline, but no damage or injury was reported. Minor earthquakes are frequent on Spain's south and east coastal strips, typically reaching between 2 and 3 on the Richter scale, which means they are unlikely to be noticed except for, at times, a momentary jerking sensation which lasts a split second.
Upwards of 3 on the scale, they are more likely to be felt, but major damage caused by earthquakes in Spain is extremely rare.
Brit detained Casting has for kidnapping begun for winter a man in Estepona The victim of the alleged kidnapper claims that four men forced him out of his house and tortured him, apparently accusing him of stealing drugs. The National Police have detained a 38 year old British man, for his presumed implication in kidnapping and causing serious injury. The arrested, and another three people, are helping police with their enquiries into the detention of a man living in Estepona against his will, by gagging him, tying hands and feet. The man was also beaten. The investigation started in mid-May when a man, who had serious injuries and pieces of duct tape across his body, went to the Estepona Local Police Station to ask for help. This person reported that he had been kidnapped the night before from another location in Estepona, by four men who had beaten him up and left him needing medical attention. The man

The forced into a vehicle and driven to a house on an Estepona development, according to a statement from the National Police. The investigation led to the identification of the supposed leader, a 38 year old British man, ‘known to the victim’ who was arrested for his presumed participation in the crime of kidnap and another of causing serious injuries. The officers recovered 70,250 € in cash from the suspect, 11 grams of marihuana and two smartphones. Meanwhile, a search of his house in Marbella yielded 50 grams of marihuana, two smartphones and a top of the range vehicle.

Movie Pick: Life of Pi - Channel 4 - 9.00pm
Ang Lee's quadruple-Oscar-winning adventure is based on Yann Martel's best-selling novel and stars Suraj Sharma, plus some impressive CGI. When his small zoo in Pondicherry fails, Santosh Patel packs his family and his animals onto a ship and they set sail for a new life in Canada. But disaster strikes, and Santosh's son Pi finds himself floating in a large lifeboat, with just some of the animals for company. As Pi begins the first of his 227 days adrift, he gets an unwanted companion: Peter Parker, the zoo's Bengal tiger. As their enforced proximity unfolds, boy and cat will reach a wary accommodation. But perhaps Pi's most difficult task will be persuading anyone to believe his story when his solo voyage eventually comes to an end. Also featuring Irrfan Khan, Rafe Spall and GÚrard Depardieu. The film's Oscars were for best directing, best cinematography, best visual effects and best original score.

Colin Firth, Jeremy Irvine and Nicole Kidman star in Jonathan Teplitzky's biographical drama about a British Army officer who was forced by the Japanese to work on the death-ridden Burma-Siam Railway. In the 1980s, railway enthusiast Eric Lomax meets Patti during a train journey. He quietly charms her and they marry soon after. But as she gets to know Eric, she begins to realise the extent of the physical and emotional damage inflicted on him during the Second World War. The narrative alternates between her attempt to find out what happened to Eric, and his vivid memories of the brutal treatment he received at the hands of the Japanese back when he was a Royal Signals lieutenant. The film concludes with Eric's emotionally charged trip to confront one of his tormentors, Takeshi Nagase.

tv pick THE REAL STORY - CHANNEL 4 - 9.30pm Kate Quilton returns for a new series investigating the purported health benefits of superfoods. Superfoods seem to be everywhere - not a day goes by without a 'superfood' story hitting the headlines. Backing up these eye-grabbing stories are thousands of studies devoted to connecting the humblest of ingredients to the grandest of claims. But just what can we believe? Kate investigates the real science behind the supposed health benefits and reveals which foods truly deserve the title - super. In the first episode of the second series, Kate visits Naples to investigate the potential cancerbusting properties of the humble tomato; she travels to Japan, to find out if the secret of youth is a fermented soybean; and also discovers if a glass of red wine can really help the grey matter.

Archbishop of Valencia investigated for homophobic comments The Valencia Provincial Prosecutor has opened diligences for a penal investigation to determine if the Cardinal Archbishop in Valencia, Antonio Cañizares, has committed a hate crime in some declarations when he defended what he describes as the ‘the good of the Christian family’ against ‘the gay empire and feminist ideologies.’ The investigation has been confirmed by the Public Ministry, and has its origin in a report from the collective Lambda of lesbians, gays, transsexuals and bisexuals, raised on 3rd June, during the normal appeal procedure, according to the same source. The person responsible to hear the appeal will be the delegated prosecutor for hate crimes, Carmen Andreu. In a mass celebrated in the Pontifical Institute Juan Pablo II in Valencia on 16th May, Cañizares lamented that in recent years ‘he has assisted to an important attack against the family, by political leaders and other powers such as the ‘gay empire’ and certain feminist ideologies.’

CostaBlancaPeople June 21st - 27th 2016
Regarding the forthcoming approval of the Valencia Community and in other regions the ‘laws which encourage the ideology of gender’, Cañizares preached it was ‘the most insidious thing which has happened in the history of humanity.’ Days later, on 2nd June, the Valencia Cardinal Archbishop published an open letter to the diocese in which he indicated he ‘is no homophobe, or xenophobe or sexist’ and that he felt ‘condemned’ for ‘prejudices’ and ‘biased’ lectures in his sermon. In the same letter, he indicated ‘I withdraw said words in my sermon, they were not said in a way which could have injured or bothered some people.’ In their legal complaint, the Lambda collective considers that the words that were said by Cañizares ‘abuse the freedom of expression, and can be considered as a hate crime’ and those responsible inside this collective don’t consider ‘sufficient’ the later letter sent by Cañizares.
Heroin threatens to make a comeback in Spain For decades it was known as “caballo,” or horse, and it inspired a plethora of metaphors. In the 1980s, it plagued a generation of Spaniards, and tore families apart in an epidemic that gradually lost momentum. Recently, however, the threat of widespread heroin consumption is once again hanging over Spain. And while user numbers have remained stable, laboratories have been dismantled for the first time ever in Valladolid and Cuenca, with police seizing 56 kilograms in April in Tui, Galicia; 27 kilograms between A Coruña and Portugal in December 2015; and another 16 kilograms in July 2015 from the Arosa River. This year alone 256 kilograms of heroin has been confiscated by police, 12 kilograms more than last year. So where is it all coming from? During the presentation of its annual report at the end of May in Lisbon, the EU Drugs Agency (EMCDDA) warned of the dangers of a domino effect triggered by the flood of heroin from Afghanistan and spoke of a rise in deaths from overdoses. “It is not clear whether these phenomena are related but it’s worth investigating,” the report said. Just when heroin was beginning to seem like a drug of the past, associated with the ravages of AIDS, all the signs point to a potential resurgence. “Although there are no data suggesting a rise in consumption, heroin is starting to be used as a relaxant, to counteract the effects of more stimulating drugs such as cocaine,” says drug squad chief José Ramon Noreña. It’s a view backed by anti-
drug associations in Galicia. Basically, the glut of heroin is to do with the laws of supply and demand. “Since the Americans and the blue berets left Afghanistan, the number of poppy plantations has rocketed, as has production,” says the Chief of the Central Narcotics Squad. “It is coming into Europe through Turkey. The Turks are great businessmen and they have an incredible network of contacts at their disposal.” According to the police, it is these groups of Turkish “businessmen” who smuggle the drug in and out of Rotterdam. “There are a lot of Turkish immigrants living around the port. They are the ones who store and market the drugs. Right now there is unsold stock so it is extremely cheap,” says one officer, who calculates that a kilo of heroin worth €20,000 can bring in €10,000 profit just for transporting it. “It’s all organised from Holland and if there are investigations this is where they hit a wall,” says Judge José Antonio Vazquez Tain, who is well known for his role in the war on drugs. “Their methods are not effective in dealing with organised crime. Now they also have a problem with Islamic terrorism but they don’t realise it.” Experts agree that the Dutch don’t see drugs as a priority. “In Spain we are much more proactive,” says Noreña. “It’s as though they were blind to them.” Transporation Heroin reaches Spain in the false bottoms of trucks or simply tucked away in smaller vehicles. “It’s easier to smuggle because the quantities are small,” says
another drug squad officer. “We’re not talking about big containers like they need for cocaine. The only controls they run up against are in France because of the Jihadi terrorism threat, otherwise they come and go from Holland as they please.” Galicia is one of the biggest destinations for heroin, along with Barcelona, Madrid and Zaragoza. The networks have long been established and its border with Portugal makes it challenging territory to police. In Galicia, the drug trade is run by the same crowd as always. They go about their business under the indifferent gaze of the locals who frequent their stores and bars. “The big drug families are still in business,” says one of the directors of the Special Response Group Against Organised Crime (GRECO) in Galicia. “Many of them are coming out of jail now and getting back to work, making use of the new contacts they have made in prison. They’re always on the job,” he jokes.

through my PC. However I have recently read that VPN could be a solution? and that it is reasonably priced but I would appreciate your opinion on this. I have a brand new HP laptop with Window 10. Aunty Says: Hello Rose. With VPN (Virtual Private Network) you can receive normally

Alan via email asks: I´m considering a 4G pay as you go Internet dongle for my laptop so can you suggest a provider and are they any good? Aunty Says: Hi Alan. I have a Vodafone 4G dongle which I only use very occasionally and it is exceptionally fast and coverage is pretty good here around the Costa Blanca. All the main mobile phone companies now offer a PAYG or contract packages, but some critical advice I can give you is to buy one from a provider that has a strong signal in your area (like
you would with a mobile phone) but you really won’t know how well it works until you get it home and plug it in. It is actually very easy to turn your 4G phone into a kind of mobile dongle so let me know if you need some advice doing this.
unavailable TV over your Internet (known as streaming) but the very first thing you need to do is to check you have a reasonable line speed (known as bandwith). Go to www.speedtest.net and email me the results. I’ve noticed watchuktv.co.uk getting some good reviews and they offer a free trial.
Pauline via email asks: Dear Aunty. I have a new Asus with Windows 10 to replace my beloved 10 year old Sony laptop running Vista and I managed to install the new Skype without too many problems except I am having problems trying to make calls. I have downloaded it from the official Skype website and have got so far as signing in with my Skype name & password (I know this is correct as I use it on my old Sony) and I can also make the call-back test call but frustratingly this is as far as it goes as I cannot see where I can select the Skype names that I want to call Aunty Says: Hi Pauline. You should in theory see all of your existing contacts either under the contact menu option and/or from the “contact” & “recent” headings on the left. With the latest version of Skype you can simply type in people’s details in the search box on the top left, or better still type on their email address and pick the most likely match and send a request. Once they have accepted they will then appear in your contact list. I usually try find their email address first as this is guaranteed to be 100% unique. Well that’s all for this week. Email me at auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and I will see what I can do to help you out.

hank you to all who came to the “Take That” show last week. We had a few technical issues but everything went swimmingly in the end. With young ladies dancing everywhere including the tables and the bar! Maria Wilson and her Pink Ladies were there to hold the raffle and were delighted to raise 360€ plus a cash donation of 20€ from a cancer supporter who couldn’t attend. I love to see people enjoying themselves to live entertainment and if charities can benefit from these gathering it makes many more people happy. Happiness is what music is all about. Meeting friends, having a good time and a jolly good dance is not the same without the atmosphere that a great live act gives. Despite many venues pulling their entertainment due to the football, there is still plenty going on for those of us who prefer to support music. Tuesday is a great day with Big Red Boat trips setting sail with soul and Motown doyens Richie Alexander and Rickie Devine. For an evening of no holds barred laughter and song, it has to be Justin Sane at La Bodegueta in Lo Crispin. The bar is fast becoming the go to place, and seems to have a full terrace every night there is entertainment. Jumping to the weekend and there is a plethora of cracking acts to whet your appetite. Newly returned from the UK is bubbly Natasha Parx who will be setting pulses racing with the men at St James’s Gate in Toretta II. Playa Flamenca residents will be delighted to hear that our favourite boy duo from Benidorm, Zodiac are back at Pablo’s International. Gary and Keith certainly know how to entertain and everybody is involved in the entertainment when the boys are in town. New to Spice City Indian restaurant in La Finca is Nigel Paul who will be singing and getting diners up and dancing every Saturday night. Over in Daya Nueva fans of Alicante guitar/vocalist Paul Harris will be in for a treat as he is finally back at Imanyos. One of the only bars in the area to do live entertainment they cater for all nationalities and are great supporters of guitarist and even have their own guitar club. If you still have energy after a packed weekend, Monday is your chance to spend the afternoon with Richie Alexander at The Club from 2pm. With free entry and everything from Soul and Motown to some classic Northern Soul it is a recipe for a full dance floor and smiling faces. If you would like your events in this guide, they are FREE.

Top local chef at Las Cuevas Las Cuevas, located in San Miguel de Salinas, is the most unique dining experience to be found anywhere in Spain – being the only fully licensed restaurant based in a cave in the country – and now the food and the dining experience are second to none as top local chef Robert Johansen takes over the restaurant. Robert, a former ‘Chef of the Year’ award winner in the Costa Blanca People Culinary Awards, has built an excellent reputation managing and then owning several restaurants on the Costa Blanca. He began his career in a two-Michelin starred restaurant in his native Norway, which stood him in good stead to evolve his own skills and creativity before running the local restaurants Eriksson, Blu and Robert before opening the hugely successful Le Monde in Albir 18 months-ago. Having re-opened Las Cuevas in May, Robert is now cooking up as storm at the resturant, creating his delightful dishes that bring together Northern-European and Mediterranean influences using fresh local seasonal produce and ingredients. Robert said: “The setting is perfect, for me it is about offering food that does this wonderful location justice but at a price that is affordable for locals to eat here on a regular basis.” Las Cuevas now offers a Menu del Dia
three-course lunch with a choice of starters: garlic prawns, grilled Serrano ham at Goats cheese salad or ‘mussels Las Cuevas’. Main courses include: oven-baked salmon, fillet steak medallions with Béarnaise sauce, Duck breast or home-made burger followed by dessert or coffee for just 19.95 euros. An a la carte lunch menu is also available with dishes ranging from 6.95 euros (starter) to 15.95 euros (main course). Evening dining includes a three-course Gourmet Menu featuring special seafood and meat dishes at 35 euros and a full a la carte menu which offers dishes such as seafood soup, scampi in ginger, chilli and garlic and Carpaccio of beef to start. Fish
dishes feature Sole Menu ere, Icelandic cod fillet with spinach and tomato confit or salmon with glazed onions. Meat main courses include various steaks, duck and lamb shank. The desserts at La Cuevas are all created by the in-house pastry chef who makes the Tiramisu, cheese cake, chocolate coulant and dessert of the day from scratch. If it’s a special occasion she can even personalise a dessert by prior request. Las Cuevas in currently open Tuesday to Saturday for lunch and evening meal. On Sunday it is open lunch-time only and closed Sunday evening and all day Monday. However, due to the soaring temperatures in the summer, throughout July and August Las Cuevas will be open seven-days-a-week but evenings only, reverting back to off season opening times in September. For further information or to reserve a table, please call Las Cuevas on 966 723 432 or call into the restaurant in the centre of San Miguel at Barrio 1º de Mayo 13.

Melody Makers at Zenia Boulevard Thousands of happy shoppers at Zenia Boulevard were treated to some fantastic entertainment last Sunday when the Costa's leading chorus, Melody Makers International, performed three times in aid of the children's charity, Debra - The Butterfly Children. The charity supports those unfortunate children with the disease Epidermylosis Bullosa (EB) which leaves them with abject bruising or scarring - even to the slightest touch. Melody Makers, under their conductor Nigel Hopkins, performed a superb medley of songs from both ‘Phantom of the Opera’ and the Abba movie ‘Mamma Mia!’ to rapturous applause from the thousands of shoppers who were enjoying an evening outing to the popular centre. Notable amongst the performers were both Verity Hall, whom compere Simon Morton described as ‘the 18 year old singing sensation’, superbly soaring above the Boulevard with music from ‘My Fair Lady’, and Nigel Hopkins himself, who performed the Harry Secombe classic ‘If I Ruled the World’. Melody Makers will continue its 2016 support for The Debra charity (having
raised €3,000 at their January concert) in two weeks time when it will perform ‘A Century of Popular Songs’ at the Orihuela Costa Resort on 25th June. Tickets for both the afternoon (2pm) and evening (8pm) performances are available from La Ponderosa Gift Shop at La Zenia C.C.; also
at the Card Place at both Punta Prima and Benimar, and at the Debra shops, San Fulgencio and Quesada. If Sunday was anything to go by audiences are in for some fabulous entertainment.
Orihuela working towards transparency The Mayor of Orihuela, Emilio Bascuñana, has met with the Minister of Transparency, Social Responsibility, Participation and Cooperation, Manuel Alcaraz, on his first official visit to the city. The institutional reception was also attended by municipal spokespeople from the Democratic Forum's Change Orihuela and various groups as well as the first deputy Mayor, Rafael Almagro, and aldermen Sabina Galindo and Miguel Angel Fernandez. After signing the book Honors and
Awards, the Mayor and the minister held a meeting to discuss outstanding issues between the two institutions for transparency and participation, and later visited municipal facilities accompanied by the Councillor for Social Welfare, Citizen Participation and Transparency, Sabina Galindo. Bascuñana stressed that ‘the Department will have our support to advance all important areas such as transparency, Citizen Participation and
“The Deadwood Stage Company” first performance At the invitation of Chatters, a friendly group that meets in The Pasty Shack in Los Alcazarez, The Deadwood Stage Company presented an informal 50 minute entertainment on Wednesday 15th June. The morning’s presentation opened with two verses of the well known “Deadwood Stage” song with appropriately altered words. Pauline Shaw sang an unaccompanied heartfelt
solo, which was much enjoyed by the audience. “Deadwood” meets once a week on a Wednesday morning until the heat makes it too uncomfortable but in the autumn will probably step up their rehearsals for their winter programme. Any further information will be gladly given re. membership or availability for short entertainments by the group by ringing 966 77 4127.
Social Responsibility, and we will do everything in our power at the City Council to give the necessary impetus to these projects’. Meanwhile, the Minister said that with collaboration of the two institutions ‘can provide an efficient public service and quality to the citizens of the municipality’ and that the predisposition of the City Council and the Ministry to work together for this purpose is considered essential.

Snakes on the loose A number of snakes have been spotted in the scrub land opposite the Mercadona bridge in Aguas Nuevas next to la Avenida de las Cortes Valencianas. In this part of the town there are large areas of waste land and this is where the snakes, called culebras bastardas, have been congregating. The culebras bastardas or Montpellier snake is probably the commonest snake in Spain. It is only mildly poisonous and is not dangerous to humans. However, if it is cornered it can give a nasty bite and care should be taken by anyone coming across one. The appearance of the snakes has
The Montpellier snake
caused some consternation amongst local people. It is particularly attracted to piles of stones and likes to live in or near ruined buildings. One of the sources of the infestation appears to be an abandoned building that is now, finally scheduled for demolition. ‘We have finally got permission for it be demolished,’ explained Councillor Carmen Morate. ‘This will cost €7,000 and we have just got the OK.’ The snakes were spotted by people living locally and they eventually took a video of the snakes to prove their whereabouts. However, this
particular breed of snake isn’t an unusual find in Torrevieja and is to be seen in the natural parks too. Although it has a potentially venomous bite, most bites do not contain the venom. Usually the snake prefers to flee rather than attack a human. The snakes probably serve a purpose in this particular zone as they will attack and kill small rodents which is probably why they have been attracted to the site in the first place. The clearing up of this area should remove the possibility of both rodents and snakes choosing to live here. Suzanne O’Connell

Reach Out Fashion Show Success Reach Out ‘Shop 2’ in Calle Doña Sinforosa once again showcased their good quality clothing and cheap prices at their first fashion show of the year. The Marina Bar on Torrevieja’s Calle de las Rosas was once again the venue and despite soaring temperatures the event on Friday 10th June raised €946 for the charity. Loraine and David Whitney, organisers of the event together with their trusty volunteers proved that you don't need to spend boutique prices to look good. David's eye for colour, design and fashion proved this with the models looking amazing in their bargain priced clothes and accessories. Rita and Dave, proprietors of the bar and their team of bar and kitchen staff worked their socks off as usual and with Tombola, Raffle, Name the Bumble Bee together with other stalls the event once again ticked all the boxes. Thanks has to go to all the people who made this such a success, the stallholders, the volunteers and everybody who donated items. A special mention to Felicity Travaini whose recent birthday fund raiser raised €58 which she kindly donated to the event. It won't be too long to wait for the next Fashion Show, so watch this space!

Limit those wrinkles now Many of us probably look in the mirror and think we’d better do something to prevent wrinkles from forming or getting worse, but what to do? Can you believe the hype of over-priced miracle creams? Surely if there was any cream that could reverse the signs of aging then those with money would be ageless, but if The Queen, Madonna and Paul McCartney show signs of aging, let’s face it there’s no hope for the rest of us. Skin is extraordinary. Spanning an area of up to two metres squared our skin is the largest organ in the body. Not only does it serve to protect its inhabitants and our vital and precious organs, it is also a living organism of our body responsive to its surrounding environment. It can miraculously heal itself, change colour to protect itself and even allow the body to cool down or conserve heat when needed. The skin has the ability to display emotion; blushing when mildly embarrassed or burning red with rage when angry and feelings of anxiety can be felt in the palms of our hands when we experience a cold sweat. The skin is the most visible and expansive component of our human body and so the health of our skin is paramount to most of us and directly affects our state of mind and emotional wellbeing. The skin is made up of three distinct layers; the epidermis the upper most layer, the dermis and the subcutaneous layer. Within these layers, which form the skin structure, run a network of capillaries, nerve fibres, interspersed with sweat ducts, hair follicles and sebaceous glands. It contains a myriad of cell types each specific to its function and finely programmed. The intricate and varied cellular structure makes it remarkable but it can also contribute to its downfall as any number of these cells or networks can go into trauma. Our skin is at the mercy of many forces as we age: sun, harsh weather, and bad habits. But we can take steps to help our skin stay supple and fresh-looking. How your skin ages will depend on a variety of factors: your lifestyle, diet, heredity, and other personal habits. For instance, smoking can produce free radicals, once-healthy oxygen molecules that are now overactive and unstable. Free radicals damage cells, leading to, among other things, premature wrinkles.
There are other reasons, too. Primary factors contributing to wrinkled, spotted skin include normal aging, exposure to the sun (photoaging) and pollution, and loss of subcutaneous support (fatty tissue between your skin and muscle). Other factors that contribute to aging of the skin include stress, gravity, daily facial movement, obesity, and even sleep position. Nobody wants to think that their smooth, taut skin will ever be filled with ridges. While aging is inevitable (and there’s nothing wrong with getting older), there are several easy things that you could be doing to prevent or to delay the formation of wrinkles. Skin Changes That Come With Age As we grow older, changes like these naturally occur: • Skin becomes rougher. • Skin develops lesions such as benign tumours. • Skin becomes slack. The loss of the elastic tissue (elastin) in the skin with age causes the skin to hang loosely. • Skin becomes more transparent. This is caused by thinning of the epidermis (surface layer of the skin). • Skin becomes more fragile. This is caused by a flattening of the area where the epidermis and dermis (layer of skin under the epidermis) come together. • Skin becomes more easily bruised. This is due to thinner blood vessel walls. Changes below the skin also become evident as we age. They include: • Loss of fat below the skin in the cheeks, temples, chin, nose, and eye area may result in loosening skin, sunken eyes, and a "skeletal" appearance. • Bone loss, mostly around the mouth and chin, may become evident after age 60 and cause puckering of the skin around the mouth. • Cartilage loss in the nose causes drooping of the nasal tip and accentuation of the bony structures in the nose. While there’s not much you can do about your genetic predisposition, a recent study from the American Academy of Dermatology suggests that certain supplements and dietary changes may help to prevent wrinkles from forming…
1. Stop smoking If you smoke then to be frank wrinkles are the least of your worries. However, smoking is very damaging to your skin. It dehydrates your skin and the repetitive action of drawing on the cigarette causes heavy creases around the lips and eyes as you constantly crease your face. 2. Wear a Hat Ask any dermatologist and they will believe that we should all fear the sun. Wearing a hat to prevent freckles turning into something more sinister is common sense. Added to that risk, the sun will prematurely age you and make your skin look old and wrinkle way before its time. The good news is that baseball hats are really trendy right now. You’ll look great in any headwear – maybe except a baseball cap – and you now have a great excuse to rock a fedora, floppy hat, cowboy hat or even a sombrero. In fact, anything that will shade your beautiful face from the harsh sun. 3. SPF Makeup This is a really, really easy swap. There are tons of great SPF-infused makeup products that you should definitely look into. Many of the leading BB Creams, tinted moisturisers and full foundation products have sunscreen. Look for something light, but with great coverage – perfect to take you from day time to evening here on the Costas.
Damage to these molecules has been shown to lead to wrinkles and sagging, and while you should definitely be wary of the classic sugary suspects such as candy, cookies, cakes and ice cream, be sure to also be careful of these sneaky sugar-packed culprits. 7. Load up on antioxidants According to experts antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, lycopene, green tea polyphenols, beta-carotene and cocoa flavanols have been shown to offer some protection from UV skin damage. Find them in things like dark chocolate, blueberries, chia seeds, pomegranate seeds and spinach. 8. Treat your skin Cleansing and moisturising is key to better aging. Even that tiny tube of hotel face cream does something. Any emollient will not only temporarily plump up fine lines but also help prevent skin aging. Sun damage needs to heel and heeling requires hydration. A daily lotion containing glycerin, shea butter, or another basic hydrator allows your skin to repair itself much more
effectively. It also increases its mobility, making repetitive smiles and squints less punishing to the face. That said, the basics should be used only in a pinch. For daily use, dermatologists prefer moisturisers spiked with ingredients designed to boost cell turnover, stimulate collagen growth, and banish DNA-damaging free radicals. In addition to good quality ingredients, look for skincare products that suit your skin: oily, combination, dry/mature or sensitive. As a basic you should be double cleansing each morning and evening, toning ang mositurising. However, as we get older our skin needs more and most experts recommend routines that include: a cleanser, hydration product, Vitamin C, a Vitamin A-based anti-aging serum such as retinol and a moisturiser. So, if you are terrified of needles and don’t want to have to resort to botox and fillers, consider these easy tips to help prevent wrinkles. Even if you are not thinking about it now, your face won’t be so perfect in a few years, and these little things have the potential to truly go a long way.
4. Sunless tanning There are sooooo many reasons why you shouldn’t fry your skin in the sun or, even worse, a in a tanning bed. Instead of risking wrinkles, painful sunburns, skin cancer, damage to your eyesight or a weakened immune system, opt for the spray-on or rub-on version. This will leave you sitting pretty on the beach this summer, looking great in your hat and under your parasol. 5. Cut back on sugar More and more, sugar is being named as one of the biggest contributors to many of the health problems we face today. While we all know a high-sugar diet is linked to being overweight or obese, did you know it also may cause wrinkles? An recent study claims that reducing your sugar intake may protect the elastin and collagen molecules in your skin.
All About Health & Beauty Are you taking Statins? New research, just published in the B.M.J ( British Medical Journal) , involving nearly 70,000 people found that there was no such link between so called “bad” cholesterol and the premature deaths of over 60-year olds from cardiovascular disease. Therefore the research suggests taking statins is a waste of time. In fact the study found that nearly 92% of people with high cholesterol levels actually lived longer. Why do so many people take statins? Statin prescription guidelines mean that the majority of men over 50 and women over 60 were advised to take statins as a precaution even if they were considered low risk of cardiovascular disease. In other words, millions of healthy people are given these drugs whether they need them or not. Professor Sharif Sultan from the
University of Ireland , who was part of the research team, said cholesterol is one of the most vital molecules in the human body and that it helps to prevent infection, muscle pain and other conditions in the elderly. In fact one of the most common complaints from people who take statins are muscle pain and a whole host of other side effects. It is yet another example of the medical profession being manipulated by the big drug companies. It has long been suggested in medical
circles that doctors are given incentives by drug companies to prescribe this or that particular drug. Research last year in the UK found that
a huge percentage of elderly patients were being made more ill by the plethora of drugs that they were being prescribed.
Most patients never question their doctor, believing that they know exactly what they are doing and just go along with whatever the doctor says. This is probably even more prevalent here in Spain as many people have to take an interpreter with them and even if the doctor does speak our own language explanations often get slightly lost due to accents and misunderstandings. I am not advocating that you cross examine the doctor every time he or she gives you a piece of advice or a prescription but do take careful note of your own reaction to prescription drugs
and do report these back to your doctor, not every drug suits every person. Also try to look at any more natural alternatives to taking drugs that very often have massive side effects. Such examples recently discussed in the press is the use of the herb turmeric for arthritis and the almost miraculous use of coconut oil in the prevention and treatment memory loss. Many practitioners these days are moving towards the idea of empowering patients by giving them good research based information and encouraging patients to take some responsibility for their own health. In terms of cardiovascular health Dr Sultan went on to say altering your lifestyle is the single most important way to achieve a good quality of life” Good health!

Spanish election candidates Real time parking ignore Brexit effects on Spain information for The main candidates to the Spanish general election, to be held on 26th June, all share a desire for Britain to remain within the European Union. However, beyond their generic statements against a Brexit, none of them has made any significant contribution to the public debate over the repercussions that such a move might have for Spain. Yet according to Spanish analysts the shock to the European project could have clear effects on the Iberian Penninsula. “Spain’s own country-project has always walked hand-in-hand with European integration ever since the transition to democracy,” writes Salvador Llaudes, a researcher at the Real Instituto Elcano think tank. “Out of pure logic, any risk to the common project – and Brexit certainly is – would entail a risk to Spain.” To this must be added the fact that trade relations with the UK represent nearly €55 billion for Spain, and that more than 700 companies with British capital are established on Spanish territory - and in return there are over 300 Spanish companies in the British Isles. Meanwhile, 15 million British tourists visit Spain each year. It is to be expected that a depreciated pound would make their travel plans more expensive. There are also over 300,000 British expats officially living in Spain, while over 200,000 Spaniards currently reside in Britain. All of these individuals are concerned that a Brexit would affect their eligibility for social services in their host
country. And last but not least, the question of Gibraltar would be more difficult to resolve outside the collaborative framework of the European Union. The British will vote on whether to remain in the EU just three days before Spaniards go to the polls in a fresh general election following the inconclusive ballot of 20th December.
All the Spanish candidates to the prime minister’s office have analysed the potential effects of a Brexit on Spanish politics, but they have not taken their concerns into the public arena. Instead, they only share their thoughts when specifically asked about the matter. Acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy of the Popular Party (PP) was crystal clear on Wednesday: “A Brexit would be catastrophic for the Spanish stock market and for all stock markets; for the British economy and for all European economies. I think it would be the worst possible news in many years, in economic terms, and I hope that British citizens will finally vote to remain in Europe, among
other things because we Europeans want them to stay.” Socialist Party sources say that Pedro Sánchez, their nominee, constantly mentions Brexit in his meetings with his expert committee. This and the refugee crisis “are the two issues that confirm the weakness of the European project, understood in its origin as a space for cooperation and shared values.” Sánchez said in a television interview recently that “if the Brexit option wins, we Socialists will team up with other European social democrats to relaunch a European project that will allow us to continue progressing toward a Europe that is stronger, more united, more prosperous and more social.” Public debate Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera, the candidate who tends to incorporate more European issues into the public debate, said that “we need to make the most of the European crisis to restart Europe.” Although no Spanish party will deny that a Brexit poses a serious threat to the future of the EU, few are paying close attention to a country with a parliamentary monarchy like Spain’s, with a territorial structure not unlike Spain’s, with a similar production model based heavily on the financial sector, and with similar problems with breakaway regions. Scotland is already threatening with a second independence vote if Britain exits the EU, and that would give renewed energy to pro-independence movements like the one in Catalonia.
Orihuela Sensors that detect whether parking spaces are full or still available are to be installed in Orihuela later this month. The company awarded the contract in January, Setex APARKI, is currently finishing its study of the location of panels where real-time reporting of the number of parking spaces will be available. Visitors and locals living in Orihuela, will be able to read information panels located around the city which will show the number of parking spaces in the blue area available and be updated in real time. The manager of Setex APARKI , Orihuela, Rafael Lopez said: “To do this, we have installed in each and every one of the 625 parking spaces a sensor that will detect if a vehicle is parked or if the space is free. The system will work as long as drivers respect the sensor, which is located right in the centre of each space.” The final phase of the project before it goes live is the location of the information panels with the number of available spaces, as has been decided to install a panel in each of the streets where parking spaces are regulated by the ORA. The service will be available in large avenues and streets, distributed across several areas. Panels on roads such as the Duke of Tamames or Avenida Espanol are also being are considered, although the final locations have not been released. These will be agreed with the company and the Department of Public Safety of
the City Council, to seek the best possible location for drivers. Information will also be available through the website of the company, but not through the mobile application that payments of parking tickets for the blue can be made, as was announced at the beginning of the project. In addition to real-time parking in the blue bays, the package proposed by Setex APARKI, also includes vehicle license plate reader technology. This will allow authorities to fine users who park illegally in orange areas which are reserved exclusively for residents. This service will now become operational in July. It had to be delayed earlier this month following problems with the issue of orange parking permit to residents. The June start was postponed after just 100 cards were issued. Mireille Toddington

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.

COSTA COBRAS RFC BEACH RUGBY TRAINING Costa Cobras RFC continue their beach rugby training in front of the restaurants, with the view to play in the 5’s tournament on 23 July in San Javier and then on 6 August in San Juan 7’s tournament.
Also hoping if the club gets enough players, it can also consider playing in the La Vila 5’s on 16 July and in Murcia on 13 August and put rugby on the map in this area. The Cobras entered both tournaments last year and are looking for more players to enter again and
keep the sport thriving in the area, especially with all of the great publicity the rugby is giving with both England and Ireland reaching the semi-finals of the U20’s rugby world cup. Costa Cobras RFC training is on Monday and Wednesday from 18.3020.00 on Guardamar beach in front of the restaurants and then in July and August from 20.00-21.00. Looking to recruit more players through training on the beach to get a team together ready for the beach tournaments and then into the Valencian league. All ages, gender and nationalities are welcome, from beginners to experienced players, the more the merrier, as the Cobras are based on the true traditional ethics of the sport. For more information about the club contact Dutch, on 692 767 242 - also down at Zoco market on Sunday from 09.00-13.30, so come on down and find more out about the club and rugby in the area.
Club de Las Ramblas GS Golf El Paraíso LV 39 @Lo Romero Almost 20 members and guests turned up at Lo Romero on a perfect day for golf. Our guests were mainly from Sweden which included a few youngsters. A young man (17 years old) who goes by the name of Viggo told me that his idol is Henrik Stenson; well he likes to play like Stenson, 3 wood of every tee and 200+ meters long although he was not always in the fairway, a little more practise Viggo! The scores were excellent with almost every player making 30 points or more but it needed 37 points from Benedicte Kruse to take 3rd place on higher handicap from Cecilia Kinnerfelt playing also with 37 points but playing with handicap 10. 1st place went to one of the nicest guys that you could wish to meet, 86 years young, Tom Jones with 39 points. The N.T.P. Competition was really a single player affair, Benedicte Kruse took the bottles of rioja on holes, 5, 12 and 15 which left Joe Dean nearest on hole 7. The young man whom I mentioned early did manage a Stenson like put on hole 12 (20m +) to take the €18 that was in the “2’s” pot.

We opened the week on Monday with a Best 2 from 4 with all scores counting on the Par 3s. This was won with what is claimed to be a club record score of 109 pts. by the team of Rod Doel, Jan Svensen, Peter Whickham and Brian Dent. Wednesday's competition was for one of our trophies. Although we no longer have a captain we still have a Pairs Competition for the trophy, the pairs being drawn at random. The stars were not aligned for one of the drawn pairs who both had to withdraw because of injuries. I had a very painful wrist but much worse happened to Rachel Leckey who fell when walking her dogs and broke one leg and sprained the other. We are all thinking of her and wish her a speedy recovery.
There was some amazing scoring in the Better Ball with two 49 pts. coming in. Ian and Bernie Stones must have been gutted to only get second with such a score. There were 3 very happy people in the 2s Club who shared a total of 84 EUR after the previous two weeks rolled over. The winners were: 1. Jan Svensen & Anne Marie Weisheit 49 pts, 2. Ian & Bernie Stones 49 pts. 3. Brian Townend & Mike Mahony 47 pts. 2sClub. Fridel Kniebel, Nick Campbell & Olga Douglas. On Friday we played a Change Partners which was won with 87 pts. by Brian Staines, Anne Marie Weisheit, Friedel Kniebel and Alan Douglas. Doug Wright
T.M.G.S. @ Villamartin Thirty two members and 5 guests turned out for our monthly visit to Villamartin. The recent maintenance on the greens did make the putting a little unpredictable but never-theless the scoring was good. In the Silver category Mick Kennedy continued in his vein of good form (how long is it going to last) was a cry from some members when the results were called out. He was not the only one, Marshal Roger Nilsen has gone back to playing with his old clubs and yes you’ve guessed it, he top the Gold category with 37 pts. Full Results; Best guest, Mr. R. Palmer 33 pts. Silver category; 4th Colin Marsden 29 pts. 3rd Robbie Rea 36 pts. 2nd Arne

CAN SPAIN MAKE IT THREE IN A ROW? Watching Spain’s second game in the Eurocup, at Nice against Turkey, optimism was inevitable, as Iniesta’s silky skills, the assured one-touch passing game and some pretty lethal finishing from Morata and Nolito took the Turks apart. Their earlier encounter, against the Czech Republic, had been an altogether more nervous affair, needing Piqué’s late goal to put it to bed. England, meanwhile, had looked less than convincing, as they firstly drew with Russia, then, by dint of an extratime winner, got home against neighbours Wales. The ‘Red Dragon’ had Bale to thank for a couple of trademark
Incidentally, Leicester have a man in the Austrian defence, too, the appropriatelynamed Fuchs. (German for fox) At the other end of the scale, Portugal have been a grave disappointment, with draws against Iceland and Austria so far, and Cristiano Ronaldo having little more than a fluffed penalty to show for it all. Domestically the second division promotion race has been resolved, with Osasuna beating Girona to the third spot – they will accompany Alavés and Leganés into the top flight, after a two year absence. With second-leg games still to play, two promotion ties from division
free-kicks as they saw off Slovakia, then gave a fright to England. No side has been really outstanding so far, but Germany’s game against Poland, although it ended in a 0-0 draw, contained some fine skills. Hosts France have some claims to being one of the best sides in the competition, with West Ham’s Payet, Pogba, and Leicester’s Kanté all doing well, though they were lucky to escape with a point from their final game, against Switzerland.
2B remain to be resolved. Hercules lost by the odd goal at Cádiz, so must feel they have a chance of reversal at home, whilst Sevilla Atletico had a valuable 0-1 win at Lleida. In basketball, the five-match play-off for the ACB title is nicely poised at one-all after the first two games between the ‘old enemies,’ Real Madrid and Barcelona – who else? Malcolm Palmer
Eurogolf Society On Thursday 16 June the Eurogolf Society played the final qualifying Stableford competition of the season. The results of the day will go towards the eclectic scores to determine the eventual eclectic winner. La Marquesa course was in excellent condition with the fairways and greens running true, following the recent hollow tinning. Some good golf played today resulting in exceptional scores coming in. The overall winner of the monthly Stableford trophy was, one of our newer members, Bert Lawson with a score of 38 points. A good week for Bert, who also won the TOFFS game on Tuesday. Full results were: Category 1 (0-15) 1st John Barraclough 38 2nd David Gregson 35 3rd George McCallum 34.

Orihuela’s five golf courses Café Uno Golf Society unite for new contest The five golf major golf courses in Orihuela Costa - Campoamor, Las Colinas, Las Ramblas, Villamartín and Vistabella – have joined forces for the first
time to organise and host the Orihuela Ciudad del Mediterraneo Golf Circuit, which will take place between June and July. The contest began on Saturday and each of the courses will host a round.
Councillor Sofia Álavarez said the local government team is keen to put the municipality at the forefront of this popular sport. “Thousands of people come here to play it every year”, she explained, “but many people do not know they are in the municipality of Orihuela.” She also wants golfers to get to know the city, not just the coast, after they have played their games, offering information about the historical and cultural attractions and gastronomy that can be found in the centre. The competition began at the weekend, on Saturday the 18th of June, at the Real Club Golf Campoamor, and will continue on the 25th June at Las Colinas Golf & Country Club; on the 2nd
July at Las Ramblas de Campoamor; the 9th July at Club de Golf Villamartín and will conclude at Vistabella Golf on the 23rd July. Registration to participate closes 48 hours before the event and costs €45 per player per tournament. For further information visit: www.orihuelaturistica.es for details or download the leaflet with all the courses' contact details from: http://www.orihuelaturistica.es/orihuela /uploaded/I%20CIRCUITO%20DE%20G OLF%20ORIHUELA%20HISTORIA%20DE L%20MEDITERR%C3%81NEO.pdf Councillor Álvarez also announced that the council intends to set up a golf school for children to practise the sport and develop an enthusiasm that will enable them to have a children's category in future editions of the Golf Circuit.

The results follow:1st N.Padmore - 33pts. 2nd L.Tyas - 30pts. 3rd P.Buckler - 28pts.

The following week we are having a Captains day which is to be played at Vistabella
CD MONTESINOS ABOUT THE NEW MANAGER Jose Ignacio Camacho Pavon has joined CD Montesinos as their new manager for the forthcoming season. Camacho, as he is known in football circles, arrived at the club after being involved at Orihuela CF for the past three seasons, managing at both youth level and latterly running the reserve side, Deportivo Orihuela who are in the same Division and Group as CD Montesinos. Camacho, an ex-professional player who has played for a number of clubs including La Liga Malaga CF, is from Andalucía and is 42 years old, is hoping to continue the good work laid down by ex- Manager Roberto Cases, who he knows well. The new Boss wants to concentrate on “building a Club not just a team” so he will be looking to incorporate the youth (under 19) players more into the first team squad. Having said that, he has been made aware that the Club are looking to finally make that jump up one level to the 1st Regional and with this in mind, he will be looking to bring
between 5 to 7 new players into the Club, including a number of players more used to a higher division. When we spoke to Camacho, he had only just been appointed to the “hot seat” at the Municipal and did not want to commit himself regarding next season, although he was adamant that he wanted his side to be well organised, disciplined and be fighting for promotion right to the final minute of the final game of the season. Discipline or a lack of discipline, has cost “Monte” dear in previous seasons. Roberto last year appeared to correct that with players picking up less “silly” red and yellow cards than in previous seasons. Camacho made it clear that he wants to continue along this route and as an example, went on to say “at my previous club I actually released five players over an incident with a referee. I will not tolerate indiscipline at my clubs”. It goes without saying that we wish CAMACHO the best of luck and a long a successful time at CD Montesinos.
EL PLANTIO 2
Torrevieja’s triathlon took place on Sunday, attracting over 500 athletes and thousands of spectators across the route. The urban circuit began at the Marina Salinas and proved a test of endurance for participants. Llorca, despite trailing at the start of the race, took advantage of his good knowledge of the terrain to push for a strong pace in the breakwaters of the port and achieve victory with a time of 2:04:12, followed by Macario Lorenzo Alarcon, Team Thader, 23 seconds later and Jesus Tello, Baza Triathlon, one minute behind. In the women’s section, the event was dominated from start to finish by Ana Belen Maruny, Triathlon Arena. Maruny, who won last week in Pilar de la Horadada, took the lead in all sectors of the race. The Alicante athlete crossed the finish line with a time of 2:22:17, followed by Raquel Perez, Swedish Triathlon, more than two minutes later, and Amanda Cantle, the Índalo, who also came third in Pilar, more than seven minutes after Maruny. Maruny, overall leader, bounces back with this victory after what happened last year at this same stage, when she was disqualified after winning with outside assistance (with a spectator’s help, changed the wheel after a puncture).
The event, part of the TriWhite Cup had triathletes representing more than 70 clubs in Spain, highlighting the presence of a large representation of sports organizations of Valencia, Murcia and Madrid. The event was also followed live on social networks through the hashtag #TriwhiteLIVE. Torrevieja’s leg of the event was the third stage of an exciting circuit that takes a break over the next two months to return once again in September to Alicante, one of its star
venues. On hand at the event were Grupo Scout Las Culturas, who were handing out water and generally supporting race marshalls from early in the morning until the races finished. Happy to help, the group had the added bonus of being able to cheer on their school principal, David Valentin Puertas de la Plaza, a member of Torrevieja Triathlon Club who was participating in the event.
15 members turned out on the 14th June for a 'Hidden Partners' competition. Each player returns a Stableford Score and a draw pairs them with another player for a combined total. After the cards were returned, everyone wanted to be paired with Graham Blakeway, who returned a magnificent 46 points. Also Mel Hope, fresh from his previous week's Hole-in-One, had a superb 40 points. Both of these are Yorkshiremen and proud of it. The 3rd 'Tyke' - myself - returned a 38 and drew a low scoring partner and did not get anything for my endeavours – apart from a Handicap cut. The person to be paired with Graham was Bryan Watson, who carded a creditable 34 points himself. Nearest the pins : Hole 2, Graham Blakeway, Hole 9, Gordon Wayne 3rd Place, Ray Housley, Lawrence Wanty both 9 Handicap – 69 points. 2nd Place, Mel Hope, Handicap 9, Stewart Patterson Handicap 15 - 71 points. 1st Place, Graham Blakeway, Handicap 12, Bryan Watson, Handicap 17 – 80 points. If anyone would like to join our Society, we play at El Plantio Golf Club
on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. We use both courses - the Par 3 nine hole course and the main 18 hole course, so we cater for all abilities. The membership rates are very competitive, so call for more details. Anyone who wishes to play in the Society as a guest or join as a new member, contact Ian Henderson on 966 716 616 or 636 116 230.

Tales from the Top Flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com
A bit like goals at Euro 2016, I have left this week’s column right up to the final minute. How many goals have been scored right at the death, and not just last minute consolations. Actual winners readers, actual winners. If I was a writer worth my salt I would have the answer for you, but I am going to randomly guess and say twenty seven winning goals in the last two minutes of matches so far. As we hit Sunday night the tournament moved into its final round of group fixtures and I still have no real idea who is going home and why. Let’s be honest, we are only losing eight of the twenty four teams, so even a small nation like Portugal might sneak through.
Cast your mind back a week when Ireland played Sweden. Doesn’t that feel like an eternity? Ireland scored Sweden’s equaliser at the third time of asking, Ciaran Clark having more shots
on their own goal than Harry Kane has managed in the tournament so far. That point has proven to be the high point for both Ireland and Sweden however, as they both lost their second match. Some people, yes me included, foolishly wrote off the Belgians after their 2-0 loss to an excellent Italy, but boy did they recover against the Emerald Isle. 3-0 folks, 3-0 which suggest the Belgian players telling Wilmotts how they would like to play actually worked. Wow. The Italians are doing what the Italians do. Having been completely written off before the tournament they have already seen off Europe’s number one ranked side (Belgium, keep up) and Sweden. They were excellent against Belgium in an Antonio Conte masterclass, but less so against Zlatan and Co. That said, if Sweden want to progress they might need to get a shot on target. Ronaldo showed his class, criticising Iceland for having a small mentality having celebrated like they had won the Euros” at the final whistle in their 11 draw. Fooling nobody Cristiano, I think you might still be smarting from missing that free header with five minutes to go. Had you scored they wouldn’t have been celebrating, right? My personal irony-ometer was off the chart when Real Madrid’s finest missed a penalty against Austria, condemning Portugal to a second draw. Austria are the Columbia ’94 of this tournament, tipped by many to be a shock
challenger and petering out before everyone’s eyes. Russia had been threatened with expulsion if their fans continue to “misbehave.” However, the team seem to be one step ahead of them losing to Slovakia 2-1. Wales will very much fancy their chances on Monday night having picked themselves up from the shock of losing to that England team they very much backed themselves to beat. Joe Hart will have been hoping Pep was looking elsewhere when he allowed Gareth Bale’s fifty yard free kick to squirm into the corner of the net. Roy Hodgson will have been hoping everyone was watching closely as he made the bold decision to take off the eternally poor Sterling and the clearly heavy legged Harry Kane at half time. It only went and worked, who would have thought it? Jamie Vardy, a player who has every reason to believe everything he touches does turn golden, poached the leveller before Europe was treated to the shockingly bad celebratory dance of Sturridge. Who cares if England had no pattern of play and the team against Slovakia will entirely random? It was worth it to see Gary Neville sprint down the touchline in a way we had not seen since his playing days. France must be good if they can afford to leave Pogba and Griezmann on the bench. Mind you, they played rubbish without them and only scored when they came on! The hosts left it very late again, Griezmann heading
home Rami’s cross and then Payet twinkle toeing his way through to make it 2-0 against Albania. It was hard not to feel sorry for Albania who had defended manfully. That win say France qualify for the knockout phase, meaning their game with Switzerland was a dead rubber from their point of view. And boy was it played like a dead rubber. When the most exciting thing was five Switzerland shirts ripping and the ball exploding, you know it has been a dull game. Albania kept their hopes alive with a great 1-0 win over Romania. Massive credit has to go to Michael O’Neill and Northern Ireland. In last week’s column I suggested he might need to get the team to score a couple
of goals. He clearly listened as they sauntered to a 2-0 win over Ukraine with a team featuring five changes to the one that lost to Poland. They have to play Germany next, but following the worst match of the tournament in which Germany and Poland drew blanks, there is every chance that it might be a famous night for the boys in
green. Who have we missed? Spain of course. Not many were talking of them being potential champions after it took an old English tactic of sticking the centre half up top to nick a 1-0 win over the Czech Republic. They certainly had tongues wagging following their classy 3-0 dismantling of Turkey, Iniesta showing that despite many young challengers to the throne he is still the finest midfielder on show in the tournament. Another worthy contender to that crown is Luka Modric. Having already scored the winner against Turkey, Modric was conducting the Croatian orchestra to a very special symphony as they led the Czech’s 2-0. Resting him for the final game, Modric was withdrawn, flares were thrown and the Czech’s came back to level it 2-2. This means the groups final game between Croatia and Spain could dictate how the tournament pans out for many other teams. You don’t read this column for great predictions, so I am going to be bold and say that the biggest team to fall at the first hurdle will be Portugal and Italy might just win it. Sorry to anybody with proper money on Italy to win it. No Fantasy Football update this week due to the length of this, but let me assure you that deciding to substitute in Harry Kane instead of Morata was the kind of decision that sums up my week!
San Miguel Golf Society at La Manga Thirty-four members were joined by 6 guests for SMGS’s first visit to La Manga for a very long time. In excellent condition, as one would expect of a venue with La Manga’s history and continued reputation, the South Course proved testing for many. Whilst there was nothing particularly obvious that made things difficult, with the exception of the frequent placing of pins behind bunkers, and with, perhaps, the courses overall length having an impact, many struggled, especially in the lower two categories. Gold players made a better fist of it, with the best score of the day, 36 points, coming from its winner, John Osborne, on a rich run of form and stretching his lead at the head of this season’s Order of Merit. The remaining doubles semifinal match saw the pairing of aforementioned John and Darren Hancock take on a partner-less Steve Higgins, with Mike Frankish, Steve’s colleague, having to drop out through injury. Whilst Steve put up a very valiant fight, he eventually went down 5&4. John and Darren will now meet Steve Davis and Ivan Hanak in
the final, Steve H having to make do with a singles final encounter.
The day’s stableford competition results, by category and in reverse order, were the following: Bronze Category: 5th Derek Johnson (24 on CB), 4th Chris Hamblett (24 on CB), 3rd Brian Mulligan (25), 2nd Jacqui Rust (30), and 1st Keith Wraithmell with 30 points. Silver Category: 5th Phil Birtwistle (28 on CB), 4th Ron Stenhouse (29 on CB), 3rd Ken Flaherty (29 on CB), 2nd Alan Gilbert (31 on CB) and 1st Nick Spicer, also with 31. Gold Category: 5th Darren Hancock (31), 4th Steve Higgins (32), 3rd John Aitchison (33), 2nd Tony Smale (34), and 1st, with the day’s best score, John Osborne with 36 points. Nearest the pins on the par
3’s (open to all) went to John Osborne (holes 2 and 5), Brian Brodigan (12), and Noel Bannon (17). The Abacus was won by Alan MacDonald. Two best guest prizes, with Dave Robinson (34) taking first, Alan Ewing (32) second. Our thanks go to the staff at La Manga golf course for their contribution to an enjoyable day.

Your week in Sport ABBEY ANGLING
RODS & REELS
The 4th round of the Summer Series was fished on the river Segura on the 14th June. With no recent rain there is still plenty of water with a strong flow on it. The method to use here is the lollipop with floats taking up to 6grams, feeder on the pole or rod, and the Terrapins are now very active with one angler managing to net fourteen in the first hour. Dave Hutchinson seems to have the method here cracked with two wins off the two matches fished here. 1st Dave Hutchinson with 8.980kgs fishing the pole using corn 2nd Bill Reade with 8.480kgs fishing the pole and feeder using corn 3rd Richard King with 7.860kgs fishing the method feeder using corn There are still some vacancies available for membership at the club All details are available on our website www.abbeyangling.com or from me on 965328368
This week we fished the Annual Memorial Match on the El Bosquet Complex on the 15th June. With the hot weather now here, the water has really come alive with good weights being produced. Sue Swann excelled herself with a net of over 12kgs taken on the feeder; she also lost some big fish. Fish were caught on all types of bait, being corn, maggot, bread and paste, with the pole the dominate method. 1st Terry Screen with 32.000kgs fishing the pole using corn and pellet 2nd Lennie Bolton with 28.760kgs fishing the pole using corn and pellet 3rd Richard Wood with 27.580kgs fishing the pole using bread P.S: Are you the dirty fisherman who fished peg 12 on the oblong last week, and left 2 empty sweet corn tins and a beer can in the reeds by the waters edge. If so SHAME ON YOU!! With a litter bin less than 10 yards away from you. Please take more care of the environment and pick up your rubbish. There are still some vacancies at the Club and if anyone is interested in joining please contact Derek Swann on 9966729293 or617283503 Also I do not know the full facts as yet, but rumours have it that over 100,000 people attended last week’s rally in Madrid organized by the Spanish Federation, and that the motion passed by the environmentalists to eradicate all non indigenous species of fish from the waters in Spain has been over-ruled and squashed. We trust this is correct and await confirmation of this from the Spanish federation in due course.

England are getting quite good at this rugby malarkey, securing a win down under once again. Their 23-7 beating of the Wallabies secured the Test series and also sparked talk of where the performance would rank on the all-time performance list. Surely nothing would ever topple the 2004 World Cup Final? Still, it’s fine progress being made by Eddie Jones. Wales also showed progress, losing the second test against the All Blacks by a lesser margin. Not a great week for Wales, really. South Africa recovered their composure to put Ireland back in their rugby shaped box, levelling their own little Test series. South Africa were 16 points behind at one stage.
Lewis Hamilton “struggled with the new rules on radio messages” in finishing 5th in the European Grand Prix in Baku. It was an interesting insight into how little a Formula One driver seems to know about his car, as when it dawned on Hamilton that his team could not give more instruction over the airwaves he actually did not know which button to press. Maybe he should have tried the one marked “go faster.” Nico Rosberg won the race and extended his lead at the top. Dustin Johnson finally won the major that his first name deserves. The American closed out the US Open amid quite a lot of controversy over a moving ball. The only people seeming to think it was strange were the officials, and Johnson was left with a nerve wracking wait to see if he would be punished. Fortunately it was all irrelevant has Johnson played a magnificent shot on the 18th to lift the famous trophy. Anyone else thinking sport would be much better without the officials? Speaking of which, more “damning evidence” seems to have put paid to any hope Russian athletes had of appearing at Rio 2016. That highly reputable outfit, the IOC, have backed the IAAF’s original ban and also scored higher in a quick game of Olympics Scrabble. Andy Murray claimed another Queens title on Sunday afternoon, winning the first title available to him
since getting back into bed with Ivan Lendl. Of course, winning the warm up event does not always lead to Grand Slam glory as Murray saw in Paris, but at least it gives the British tennis public something to dream about at the end of the month. Plus, the longer Murray stays at Wimbledon the more revenue tennis courts make for a few days as people show an interest in the sport, albeit briefly. Finally, LeBron James led the Cavaliers to NBA glory and ended 52 years of hurt. That’s basketball, folks. In a thrilling Game 7, the Cleveland franchise saw of the Golden State Warriors 93-89. 52 years of hurt, hey? I wonder if anyone other teams can end a similar length of pain this summer.
