It’s final – no winter fuel allowance for expats ■ MIREILLE TODDINGTON mireille@costablancapeople.com

ore than 95,000 expats have been affected by the abolition of the Winter Fuel payment, effective from last year, winter 2015/16. Payments worth up to £300 annually were scrapped for Brits living abroad in countries where the annual average temperature is higher than the UK’s warmest region – the South West – and includes countries such as Spain, Malta, Cyprus, France, Greece and Portugal. The cuts saved taxpayers almost £17 million but angered those affected who despite living abroad - know that heating is needed to get through some

winter months. Britain’s biggest population of expats is here in Spain with 49,443. The payments soared by 70 percent in 2012 after a ruling by the European Court of Justice declared that pensioners of any nationality can claim them if they had ‘sufficient’ links to Britain, causing the government to quickly change the rules. At the time many believed the abolition would be contrary to EU law, given the previous ruling or contravene social security regulations and many wrote to the European Commission to challenge the decision. One such person was Costa Blanca People reader Peter Lowe who contacted the editorial team this week to tell us he had received what appears to be a final decision – and it’s not a positive one. Peter received an official letter sent from Brussels dated 12 July 2016. The letter was sent from the European Commission, Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion Unit. The letter goes through the specific regulations pertaining to questions regarding the

Winter Fuel Payment and highlights the reasons why they are either not applicable or have not been breached. The letter ends: “In view of the above, a similar reasoning has to be held as regards a condition imposed to claimants who establish their residence in another Member State. A Member State can therefore limit the granting of an allowance, the aim of which is to help beneficiaries to pay heating bills, to those who are faced with similar or worse average winter temperature than the average winter temperature in the United Kingdom. For the above reasons, although I regret your situation, the latest amendments to the UK’s Social Fund Winter Fuel Payment Regulations do not seem to be a breach of EU Law…..” However, there may still be hope. Peter is already corresponding with the newly formed cabinet in light of Mrs May’s comments regarding a ‘fairer

society’ to see if there is the possibility of a change of heart.

BITE SIZE Kidnapped man NEWS: found in Torrevieja Thanks to protección civil The volunteers who form the group Protección Civil de Torrevieja were thanked on 19th July by the councillor for security, Javier Manzanares, for their efforts in helping make the town a safer place. In particular appreciation was given for the help provided in Torreta 3 during the wild fire on 14th July. ‘They were quick to arrive and give their support to the local police, Guardia Civil and the fire service,’ explained Councillor Manzanares. In addition, he thanked them for their assistance during the Electromar festival, the Virgen del Carmen processions and their help with school transport during summer school. The Protección Civil attend large events in the town in order to give their assistance and the councillor is also keen that they receive the training and development they need.

Gastrovegabaja September will see the introduction of a new event in Torrevieja. Feria Gastrovegabaja will provide a new opportunity to draw tourists to the region. Local towns in the Vega Baja area have been keen to see the growth of year round tourism and this is one of the ways in which they are hoping to do this. Agreement surrounding the event was made between the president of the business association, Joaquín Continued on page 4

The Guardia Civil have freed a man found imprisoned in a room in his home for two weeks. Five people have been arrested in connection with the crime. The man showed signs of malnutrition and serious injuries. Those detained include two Spanish men of 26 and 35, another 32 year oldMoroccan man and two Spanish women of 26 and 37. They are accused of causing serious bodily harm, of detaining a person illegally and threatening behaviour. There may be additional charges as the investigation continues. The victim is a German man who had been imprisoned The crime scene against his will in his own home in Torrevieja. When the police arrived at his home, the man was found locked in a room. His captors had changed the lock so that it could only be opened from the outside. The man had collapsed with evident

signs of malnutrition and had been beaten on a number of occasions. He was being watched by one of those arrested who was on look out in case he asked for help or tried to escape. It is believed that the man was kidnapped less than two weeks ago and he was discovered because of a denuncia made by his sister. She had received a call from his kidnappers asking for money in exchange for her brother’s life. One of the detained women was in charge of feeding him but this only consisted of bread and water and therefore his physical state had deteriorated. The man was taken to hospital where he is being treated for two broken ribs, a punctured lung and several injuries to his head and body. The injuries were the result of the severe assaultsmeted out by his captors. The five are currently in prison without bail. Suzanne O’Connell

Riptide advice The Protección Civil have released advice about how not to get caught up in a riptide. Riptides are thought to cause the majority of drownings every year on the Costa Blanca coast. Rip currents are a natural phenomenon that bathers often are not aware of and do not notice once they are in the water. They are not uncommon on Spanish beaches and it is important that you alert your family and visitors to this phenomenon if they are taking a dip in the sea off the Costa Blanca coast. They can form in a very short time and lifeguards are alert to them and will adjust flags accordingly. However, bathers do not always notice a change of flag or do not recognise its significance. To identify a riptide, the Protección Civil suggest that you watch out for the wave lines. A riptide is characterised by a deeper channel of water and you will notice a break in the surf with waves on either side of the current. The sea can also

have a gritty and churned upappearance as the water is full of sand that has been picked up and circulated. If you should get caught in a riptide your are advised to: 1. Stay calm and don’t try and swim against the current as it is too strong and will draw you further out 2. Try and swim parallel to the shore or sideways out of the current 3. When you no longer feel the pull of the current try swimming back towards the beach taking advantage of the waves 4. If you are unable to swim out of the current then stay afloat by ‘pedalling’ and ask for help by shouting, waving your arms and drawing the attention of other swimmers Already in Torrevieja and the surrounding coastline there have been deaths this year. Passing around this information could help prevent another one. Suzanne O’Connell

Lifeguards continue cause controversy

Since the change in contract from La Cruz Roja to Eulen, there has been controversy over the lifeguard provision in Torrevieja. Now, councillor for beaches, Javier Manzanares has expressed his satisfaction with the service amid accusations from the PP that it is not working well. The councillor points out that there are 64 lifeguards now in place on the beaches in Torrevieja with the necessary facilities and resources. Manzanares has also been called to account for the cleanliness and security of the beaches. He said; ‘For some months there has been a specific security plan for the beaches which is now in force. There is almost a constant police presence and the Guardia Civil are also available. There has been a decline in the number of crimes recorded in the locality.’

The plan was originally given permission in 2009 in the middle of the financial crisis and further approval was given in February 2014 by the previous PP government. However, problems with the two businesses, one from Elche and a family of constructors from Torrevieja, meant that the project was once more put on hold. The project is relying on investment of €30 million which the developers claim they already have the finance for. Alongside the construction of new homes there will also be another bridge over the N332. It’s believed that the new urbanisation could provide homes for around 23,000 new residents. It is expected that new retail outlets will also be made available for the urbanisation on the CV-95. The La Hoya area is between Torrevieja and La Mata close to the international symphony hall. The builders will target foreign buyers and the location is considered to be ideal as it is close to existing road networks and urbanisations.

Grease was certainly the word when the girls and boys of Totally Dance took part for the third time in the Benijofar Fiesta Parade. The enthusiastic crowd were treated to a selection of music from the film as well as some iconic dance moves. The group were led by their very own Sandie and Danny followed by their 'Pink Ladies' Senior group sporting custom made jackets . The Mini movers and Juniors followed in their traditional 50's style skirts with the Boys in T Bird T-shirts. The children's ages range from 2 to 18 years and all of the little ones made it to the end of the parade, despite the very late start time. The crowd played a big part, cheering them on. As soon as the introduction to Grease Lightning filled the street, there were cheers of recognition, and many ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ at the sight of the little ones in their costumes, followed by great

applause after the dance. The organisation and rehearsals took months of preparation. With well over 100 children taking part, there was a lot of shepherding to be done so not to be left out, some of the Mums donned costumes, backcombed their hair and joined in the dancing at the back. The Dance Studio owner and teacher, Susan said “We have always been one big family at Totally Dance and it seemed only logical to include some of the mums this year”. She went onto say “The children danced brilliantly and did me, themselves and their parents proud considering it was such a long parade and a very late night.” However, the children will not be resting on their laurels with an Autumn show to prepare for in November in the Cultural Centre in Benijofar, showing that they are certainly part of the village.

Kings gives PM one week to form a government King Felipe VI has initiated the legal procedure to give Spain a new government in the wake of the repeat election of 26th June. The new speaker of Congress, Ana Pastor, has handed the monarch a list of the party representatives who will meet with him next week to discuss the possibilities of political deals, with a view to getting a new executive up and running as soon as possible. Spain has been under a caretaker government since late December, and there is a growing urgency for lawmakers to start dealing with issues such as the 2017 budget or deficit containment, especially now that Brussels is threatening to slap Spain with a fine. The King will give acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, whose Popular Party (PP) won the election but fell short of a majority, one week to secure enough support from other parties to get himself reinstated. Rajoy has not yet confirmed whether he plans to bid for the post. Following the original and inconclusive election of

20th December, which the PP also won, the acting PM refused to submit to an investiture vote because he knew he lacked support from any other party. The Socialist leader, Pedro Sánchez, made a bid instead, but was voted down. Since then, Sánchez has been blaming the anti-austerity Podemos for not supporting his candidacy, which makes it unlikely that both groups will attempt to craft an alternative leftist government this time around. If no deals are reached and no prime minister found, Spain will be facing a record third election. Felipe VI will meet with members of 12 parties, representing all groups with a congressional presence except for the Basque radical party Bildu and the Catalan Republican Left (ERC), who declined the invitation to meet the King. Under Article 99 of the Spanish Constitution, it is up to the monarch to facilitate an investiture by meeting with political leaders and deciding whether any one candidate stands a chance of forming a government.

BITE SIZE NEWS: Continued from page 5 information and advice for Englishspeaking people who want to drive safely on the roads in Spain. One of the last posts on the page is a plea for people to lobby the local town council and beyond to widen the N332 as it passes through Torrevieja. The Facebook post states on 24th July Three vehicles have been involved in a crash where one pregnant woman has been taken to hospital and a new born was assisted on the road, both were involved in the same accident. This was not the end of the incident, due to this accident there was a traffic jam which caused another accident with several vehicles and minors involved. These accidents always have the same cause, the volume of vehicles on a one lane road with thousands of vehicles during the summer, and most part of the year.’ The Guardia Civil express their frustration at being unable to do

anything about the situation other than pick up the pieces when accidents take place. They ask that people spread the message ‘please, let’s save lives and carry on the work improvements of the N332 which were passed years ago.’ If you would like to help their campaign, visit their Facebook page and share the message.

Orihuela businessman buys building for multi-millions A businessman from Orihuela has bought the iconic Madrid skyscraper Edifico Espana for more than 265 million euros. Trinitario Casanova, owner of Baraka investment group based in Murcia, will pay more to China’s property and entertainment giant Wanda, than they paid for the building back in the 1950s. Wanda agreed to sell after feuding with city authorities over plans to renovate the landmark. Wanda acquired the 25-storey Edificio Espana under the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco and wanted to turn it into a hotel and shopping centre. The group had reportedly planned to knock down the facade, re-model the interior and build it again with the same materials. However, Madrid's left-wing town hall, elected last year, insisted that the original facades of what it considers a building of historical importance be preserved, eventually prompting Wanda to get rid of the skyscraper. According to sources Spanish

investment group Baraka made an offer for the building above the 265 million euros Wanda paid for it and according to the same source, the operation has exceeded expectations of the seller and will close after the summer. This would be the second major real estate transaction starring Casanova in Madrid this year, buying offices in Gran Vía 44 Bankia to sell a few months along with other assets in that property had to Hines group.

Life saved at Zenia Boulevard A Shopper’s life has been saved at local shopping mall Zenia Boulevard by a supermarket defibrillator. The German man was rushed immediately to hospital and is now recovering The use of a defibrillator by security guards from Alcampo supermarket and Zenia Boulevard shopping centre in Orihuela Costa has saved the life of a German customer who had a heart attack while at the fruit section of the store with his family. The security guards needed to apply two shocks to get the man’s heart beating again until the emergency services arrived and took him to hospital for an emergency operation, which he is recovering from satisfactorily. Statistics show that about 100 people die each day in Spain of a cardiac arrest, something that is often preventable with a cardiac massage and use of a defibrillator, which increase the chances of surviving by up to 90 percent if the victim is attended to in the first two minutes. This is the third life saved in an Alcampo store in less than two months, as similar incidents occurred in Zaragoza and Madrid which both also had a happy ending. Zenia Boulevard has five defibrillators, one of which is mobile and movable all over the centre, as it is fitted to the back of a security moped.

Murcia bull run festival death Another spectator has died at a bullrunning festival, this time, a 45-year-old woman in Moratalla in Murcia. The victim had been watching the young cows being released as a prelude to the bulls being let loose, when one of them knocked her over and gored her in the abdomen. This sparked severe internal bleeding, which led to her death a few hours later in hospital. Witnesses say she had been standing on the street before the cow-runs started, and was not able to get behind the barriers in time when they were let loose. Regional government spokeswoman Noelia Arroyo passed on her condolences to the woman's family, and her well wishes to two other spectators who were seriously injured. This is the latest in a spate of deaths at bull-runs during the fiestas - a 29year-old man from Oliva, Valencia, was gored to death at the festival in Pedreguer, Alicante, last week, a year to the day that a French tourist was killed in the same place in front of his son. And famous bullfighter Víctor Barrio, of the same age, lost his life in the ring in Teruel recently. Several other spectators at bullrunning events have ended up hospitalised, a few in a very serious condition, as a result of being gored, including a high number at the recent San Fermine fiesta in Pamplona, Navarra.

Habaneras in full flow This week has seen the choral competition of Habaneras really take hold in Torrevieja. This annual event is now in its 62nd year and boasted 600 participants from al over the world. All the choirs have had to perform the set piece ‘A mi añoransa’ along with songs of their own choice. ‘A mi añoransa was written in 1954 and has been adapted since. The opening night on 19th July was considered a great success with three choral groups taking part. A choir from the Ukraine, was followed by one from Latvia and finally, closer to home, the evening was rounded off with contributions from a Valencian choir. On the second night of the competition four choirs from Europe and America performed. The youth choir of Madrid made a flawless performance and other performers on this evening included a Polish choir from Gdansk and a choir from Argentina. The competition entered its third phase with choirs from Indonesia, Ukraine, Spain and Cuba taking part. The Spanish choir from Asturias was composed of young women between the ages of 15 and 30 and was followed by the Indonesian choir.

The most anticipated performance of the night came from ‘Entrevoces’ from Cuba. The links between Torrevieja and Cuba are deep and this choir had participated in the contest in 2004. This year they were enabled to participate through sponsorship by several companies of the event. This is the first time that there

has been private sponsorship but the opportunity for the choir to perform was appreciated. It had also been facilitated by the recent visit of the Cuban ambassador to Torrevieja. On the final evening, choirs performed from Portugal, Spain and Puerto Rico. This was the night on which the public had chance to cast their vote for the best choir in the competition. On Saturday 23rd July it was the final performance or the ‘Grand Gala’. The evening’s entertainment was presided over by the mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón and the President of Alicante province, Cesar Sánchez and was recorded on TV.

This was the night on which the prizes were handed out. The winners included: • First prize of €12,000 and the trophy to Entrevoces from La Habana, Cuba • Second prize of €5,000 and trophy to the choir from the Universidad de Puerto Rico • Third prize of €2,500 and trophy to Parahyangan, choir of the Universidad Católica de Bandung (Indonesia) The prize voted for by the public and a special diploma awarded by the jury went to the women’s choir Aurum de Luanco, Asturias and the youth choir from Madrid. In spite of the international flavour of the event and its established place in the torrevejense calendar, on some nights only half of the seats were filled by the public. This is in spite of the fact that some rows of seats have been removed to make way for the judges’ bench. Reasons perhaps that more people don’t take part include the late start of the event;eleven o’clock in the evening and the dress code which often prevents those turning up by chance from entering. However, this aside, the overall verdict is that the 62nd Habaneras was a success and its fans will look forward to its return next year. Suzanne O’Connell

Explosion in Summer Pilar injures school places still man available An explosion at a home in Pilar de la Horadada caused a fire last Tuesday morning, and left a 35 year old man with second degree burns over much of his body, according to the Emergencies Information and Coordination Centre (CICU). The explosion happened as the man was refilling a generator with fuel to power tools he wanted to use to dismantle a wooden house, according to the Torrevieja fire brigade. The fire was attended by two full teams of fire fighters, three ambulances and several Local Police officers. The man is believed to be in a stable condition.

Summer school places are still available at schools in Orihuela Costa until the end of August, with the service also still being on offer in the city and the outlying parishes. The Councillor for Education, Begoña Cuartero, said: “We are continuing to offer this service which helps parents to reconcile their family and working lives during the school holidays.” The Summer Schools continue with the fortnight from July 18th to 29th July, while in August the service will be divided from 1st to 16th and then from 17th to 31st. These time periods allow parents to book the service to meet their specific needs and not tie them in to unwanted weeks. In the coming weeks school children will enjoy games sports and social interaction, activities in English, crafts and workshops. The programme, outsourced to a specialist, focuses on a balance between play and education whilst encouraging interpersonal skills, team spirit, personal development and motivation. Those interested in more information can contact the Department of Education, located in Calle Ruiz Capdepón, or call 965 307 106.

The continuous day gets closer ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL suzanne@costablancapeople.com

On the 15th September there will be opportunity for parents at a selection of schools in Torrevieja to vote in favour of the continuous day. In order to be passed there needs to be a 55% vote in favour and voting can take place between 10.00am and 2.00pm. Currently school times run from 9.00 am in the morning until 4.30pm with a break for lunch from 12.30pm until 3.00pm. The continuous day means that those who wish to only attend in the morning will be able to leave at 2.00pmbut there will be an option for children to remain in school, have their dinner and enjoy after school activities until they finish at 5.00pm. Concerns have been raised that no additional money is being provided for the provision of extra-curricular activities which must be available to the children for free. These will be organised between 3.00pm and 5.00pm and although teachers will provide some hours of this, much will depend upon volunteers. In most schools AMPA will continue to offer extra-curricular activities from 5.00pmuntil 6.00pm. Again, 30 minutes later than at present.Making the amount of time free in the evening less than at present for some families. Schools voting Schools that can vote include CEIP (primary schools): Las Culturas Inmaculada Concepción Ciudad Del Mar Virgen del Carmen Cuba El Acequión Maestro Salvador Ruso RomualdoBallester Habaneras The results of the voting will be issued on the following day. Depending upon the outcome of the vote it could be authorised by the council by the 23rd

September 2016 and will be implemented from the 1st October. Altogether across the Valencian community 207 plans were scrutinised and 70 centres have been allowed to enter the second phase of the process. Six projects were discounted because they did not meet the requirements and 131 of the centres had to make adjustments to their applications. Of the 70 that have been accepted, 68 are from the province of Alicante and two from Valencia. The project Each of the successful schools had to submit a project to demonstrate how the day would be organised at their centre. The schools had to present their projects prior to July 1st and these had to include: • The opening times • How transport and meals would be covered • The views of the school community If schools agree to the changes, this will affect the timetable from October onwards when children move to the full time school day following part time in September. The school will continue to have to review their decision every three years and this will also be subject to the impact on the new schedule of the teaching and learning process and the results obtained by the students. According to Ciudad Del Mar’s project plan the day would include: 9.00am – 10.30am lessons 10.30am – 11.20am playtime 11.20am – 12.50am lessons 12.55 – 1.10pm playtime 13.10pm – 2.00pm lessons 2.00pm – 3.30pm lunchtime 3.30pm – 5.00pm workshops 5.00pm – 6.00pm AMPA organised extra-curricular activities The reasons put forward by AMPAfor these changes are that children work better in the mornings and finishing school at 2.00pm will mean that there is more time for families to enjoy together. However, for those who stay until 5.00pm it will in fact mean less time available in the evenings.

Mercadona changes lotions due to chemical reaction Supermarket chain Mercadona has changed the ingredients of eight of its Deliplus lotions and three of its Solcare after-sun creams range from sale because of warnings about ‘conflicting’ elements in the original recipe, but insists anyone who has used them is not at risk. According to the Spanish Association of Medicines and Pharmaceutical Products (AEMPF), the PH corrector Triethanolamine and the preserving agent Bronopol, when found together in the same product, have been known to generate the chemical Nitrosamine. Nitrosamine exposure long-term can increase the risk of cancer, the AEMPF says. Certain animals have developed malignant tumours as a result of Nitrosamine exposure, and tests indicate it may be one of the risk factors in developing stomach cancer in humans.

The risk is not high and is far from immediate, but as a precaution Mercadona has stopped selling products containing both Triethanolamine and Bronopol together. Where the two ingredients are present individually, they do not create Nitrosamine, meaning the possible health risk does not arise. Withdrawn batches are Deliplus body lotion with olive oil; Deliplus hand cream; Deliplus body moisturiser with aloe vera; Deliplus illuminating body lotion; Deliplus reaffirming body lotion; Deliplus anti-dryness foot moisturiser; Deliplus almond body lotion; Deliplus body lotion for atopic skin types; Solcare after-sun lotion; Solcare illuminating after-sun lotion, and Solcare after-sun gel with aloe vera. They are now back on sale, but with different ingredients - any which have been bought in the past few months will be of the new ‘recipe’, Mercadona says.

Local police officers Craft demonstrations in honoured Hondón de las Nieves Algorfa Town Hall has shown its appreciation and given official public recognition to two Local Police officers by awarding them the Medal for Civic Merit. This distinction has been given to Enrique Escribano Rodríguez and José Pedro de Alcántara López López, officers who put their own lives at risk during the course of carrying out their duties. The incident was

outlined in a report by the Chief Inspector of Algorfa Local Police. The Mayor, Manuel Ros, congratulated the two officers and said a file on their actions and achievement will be sent to the Valencian Government for consideration of higher recognition by the Ministry of the Interior.

If you like to watch skilled crafts men and women at work, you should make a note

of 6 and 7 August in your agenda. That's the weekend on which something like twenty or thirty craft people will set up shop in the little village of Hondón de las Nieves. Not only will they show (and sell) what they have made, you can also watch most of them at work, ask questions on techniques, tools and materials, and quite a few speak some English. There will be people working with leather, wood and paper, people modelling clay, painting or making macramé and jewellery, all people who love their work and want you to share the pleasure. There will also be workshops for children, old fashioned table games and a few stalls with traditional delicacies: Felipe sells pan de higos, made of dried figs and almonds and will show you how arrop i tallaetes is made, a Valencian speciality made of grape syrup and pieces of pumpkin. You can try Arab food and delicacies in the tea tent or have a sweet or savoury pancake made while you watch. Quite a few local people participate in the fair and a group of local

youngsters runs a tavern. The fair is organised by Amata, the regional craft association that has spent the last 20 years organising the few real craft markets to be found in this part of Spain. Everything on the stalls has to be made by hand and has to be made by the person actually on the stall. It's not easy to make a living in this fashion, when there is so much competition from people selling mainly imported goods, but it can be done. The Town Hall of Hondón de las Nieves has asked Amata to organise this fair in the weekend of their famous Correfocs (literally: Fire run) - at midnight on

Saturday the 6th of August a group of people, dressed as devils and other fantastic characters will run, jump and dance around a big float that drives slowly through the streets of the village, while setting off all sorts of fireworks, a spectacular - and above all a noisy - event that attracts hordes of people to the village. The Craft Fair will be held on quieter moments: it starts on both Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 August at 7 pm and stays open till midnight. Hondón lies not far from Elche, Crevillente and Novelda; to get there from further away, take the exit "Aspe" on the A7 (South of Alicante) or A31 (Alicante-Madrid) motorway and in Aspe itself follow the signs for Crevillente and Hondón de las Nieves. For more information, ring 639 979 678, organisers even speak English. Although last year the fair was not organised by Amata, you can see pretty pictures of previous Amata markets in Hondón de las Nieves at http://www.amata.es/Hondon13.html and http://www.amata.es/Hondon14.html.

Amazon battle continues in Spain

Youth Awards with cash prizes

Amazon has launched a new ultra-fast service in Madrid. The Prime Now initiative intensifies the ongoing battle over retail delivery in Spain, where online sales are on the rise. Amazon launched its new ultra-fast delivery service in Madrid and 21 outlying municipalities, where it has pledged to bring customers their orders in less than one hour. The e-commerce giant, which has been offering Prime Now since last Wednesday, charges clients €5.90 for the one-hour-or-less service, or free delivery if customers are willing to wait two hours. Users may also select the most convenient delivery time between 8am and midnight. Madrid joins Milan, Berlin and Paris, which already have the express delivery system in place. Household items and essentials will be transported by a fleet of minivans and electric bicycles. The move intensifies the ongoing battle over retail distribution in Spain, where online purchases are growing significantly. E-commerce in Spain is still below French or British levels, but it is on the rise. In the third quarter of last year – when the latest official figures are available – there were nearly 74 million online purchases, a 27.4 percent rise from the same period a year earlier. Music, books, newspapers, stationery and clothing lead the sales charts.

The Alicante Provincial Council has organised the 15th annual edition of its “Top Creation” Provincial Youth Awards and there is more than €20,000 in cash prizes to be won in six different categories. The categories are: business initiative, blogs, music (solo or group), short story, photography and educational initiative and the awards are open to young people aged 14 - 35 from Alicante Province. The closing date for entries is 16th August. The slogan for this year is “Demuestra que se equivocan” or Show them they're wrong, using topics that are frequently used to refer to young people, such as “Young people spend all day taking selfies and glued to their mobiles”, “Young people have no idea how to write because they don't read anymore”, or “Young people are only interested in partying”, amongst others. In recent years Torrevieja has produced a few winners and finalists, like the singer Shani Ormiston in 2012 or Soul Dance, who won last year for business initiative and will perform at the prize giving gala this year in Ibi. Anyone interested can find more information from their local Town Hall Youth Department (Concejalia de Juventud) and the website www.topcreation.es

Welsh schoolboy dies on school trip in Spain A Welsh teenager has died during a 560mile pilgrimage in Spain, whilst on a school organised trip. Michael Cura, 16, from Swansea, was coming to the end of a cycling holiday with school friends when he collapsed and died. Travelling 50-60 miles a day, some 21 pupils and eight members of staff had been heading for Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain via the centuries-old pilgrims route the Camino de Santiago. The cause of death is not yet known but Michael, an altar boy at the Sacred Heart church in Swansea, was not involved in an accident. His school says it is devastated by the news. Fr Jason Jones said: “The parish community of the Sacred Heart at Morriston are deeply saddened and shocked by the sudden death of Michael. “The family and friends of Michael attended a special mass this morning before jetting off from Heathrow. He was a fun-loving, caring and committed altar boy and a helper for the disabled youth. A caring, greatly loved and popular young man who will be very missed. “It is a very emotional time for the family and for the whole community.” The pupils and staff will return without finishing the trip while Michael’s parents are being flown out to Spain, a Swansea council spokesperson said.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE There were more than a few shocks and surprises to unnerve investors, notably the attempted coup in Turkey and the International Monetary Fund's downgrade of its forecasts for global growth. Investors had to choose between the euro's safe-haven qualities and its unwilling involvement in the Brexit showdown. They really could not make up their minds so the euro was on average just about unchanged against the other dozen most actively-traded currencies. It strengthened by three quarters of a cent against sterling and lost one US cent. The International Monetary Fund published its World Economic Outlook UPDATE on Tuesday afternoon, entitled "Uncertainty in the Aftermath of the U.K. Referendum". As a result of the vote "the global outlook for 2016-17 has worsened". The update notes that "Among advanced economies, the United Kingdom experienced the largest downward revision in forecasted growth", which is now estimated at 1.7% for the currency year and 1.3% in 2017. The equivalent numbers for Euroland were 1.6% and 1.4%. Those numbers suggest cumulative growth over the two years will be identical (3.02%) in the UK and the €Z. Investors recognised this in their treatment of the euro and the pound, selling both against the dollar with only a third of a cent to separate them.

The case against starling might have been more compelling because of the greater uncertainty but the euro was also hurt by sharp falls for investor sentiment in Germany and Euroland. On Thursday the European Central Bank confirmed there would be no change in euro monetary policy. The ECB president reminded the world that, if it became necessary, the bank would use "all instruments at its disposal" to get inflation up to 2% and boost growth. However, investors were not scared into selling the euro, even though Sig. Draghi would love them to do exactly that. The flash Eurozone composite purchasing managers’ index fell less than expected in July. The PMI slipped to 52.9 from 53.1 in June, hitting an 18month low but better than expectations for a reading of 52.5. The services PMI came in at 52.7, down from 52.8 in June, also marking an 18month low but ahead of expectations of 52.5. Meanwhile, the manufacturing PMI nudged down to 51.9 in July from 52.8 the previous month. This marked a two-month low and was a touch below the expected reading of 52.0. The Eurozone economy is demonstrating surprising resilience in the face of the UK’s vote to leave the EU and another terrorist attack in France. The overall rate of economic growth is largely unchanged, suggesting GDP is growing at a sluggish but reasonably steady annual rate of around 1.5%.

Alzheimer's test for early diagnosis A new genetic test could identify people who are most at risk of Alzheimer’s disease when they are just 35 years old. Scientists in the US are developing a way to predict which people are likely to develop dementia, decades before any of the symptoms emerge. Although there are currently no treatments for dementia, most drugs in development aim at slowing down symptoms so catching the disease early is crucial. People at most risk could also make lifestyle changes, such as exercising more regularly and eating more healthily. The test, developed by Massachusetts General Hospital, involves combining all the gene variants which are currently known to raise the risk of Alzheimer’s. When looking at people with mild cognitive impairment they discovered that the higher people scored on the genetic test, the more likely they were to go onto develop full-blown dementia . They also found that people with a high score were more likely to have a smaller hippocampus – the part of the brain which is crucial for memory and spatial awareness.

Crucially, the scientists discovered that people of 35 and younger who scored highly on the test also had a smaller hippocampus, suggesting that changes which could lead to dementia were happening much earlier in life. “Given that current clinical trials are testing whether therapies can slow memory and thinking decline among people at risk for the disease, it is critical to

understand the influence of risk factors before symptoms are present,” said Dr Elizabeth Mormino, of Massachusetts General Hospital in Charlestown. “The goal of this type of research is to help physicians better identify those at high risk of dementia so that future preventative treatments may be used as early as possible.” To come up with the score, the

team studied the genes in 166 people with dementia and 1,026 without the condition. The hippocampus is one Dr Doug Brown, Director of Research at Alzheimer’s Society said: “This study provides evidence that creating a ‘risk score’ based on a combination of several different genes could possibly be used to predict whether someone has a higher chance of developing memory problems.the areas most affected in Alzheimer's disease “A huge challenge in developing these types of scores is making sure that they can accurately predict a person’s risk. It is vitally important that these tests give people reliable and useful information so they can take action, but without causing unnecessary worry. “Dementia is caused by a complex interplay of genetics, lifestyle and environment so this risk score, which exclusively looks at genetics, can only give us part of the picture. “The best way to reduce your risk of dementia is to take regular exercise, avoid smoking and eat a healthy, balanced diet.” The study was published in the journal Neurology .

The wonders of the natural world never cease to amaze. Imagine this: A fruit that when eaten, renders sour foods sweet. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the Midas touch of food, and it actually exists. The 'miracle fruit' or 'miracle berry' (Synsepalum dulcificum) is a relatively tasteless berry with an amazing sideeffect: When a single fruit is eaten and the fleshy pulp allowed to coat the taste buds of the tongue and inside of the mouth, it has the unique property of being able to make acidic or bitter foods taste sweet. The fruit will now allow one to eat a slice of lemon or lime without wincing. The marvellous aroma and inherent sweetness of the citrus remains, but the sourness is almost completely covered. What causes the miracle? The fruit has a unique taste changing glycoprotein called miraculin that inhibits the taste buds' perception of sour taste. The effect can last for half an hour to a few hours, and does not impede any other part of your nervous system other than your taste buds and is in no way harmful.

A BIT OF HISTORY

The plant was discovered in West Africa when European explorer Chevalier des Marchais, who searched for many different fruits during a 1725 excursion, provided an account of its use there. The native diet revolved around a few basic foods, mostly of sour, bland taste, and Marchais noticed that local people picked the berry from shrubs and chewed it before meals. Imagine his surprise and delight to find that everything suddenly tasted sweet! The berry resurfaced in the 1970s, when an American entrepreneur with the backing of some major figures attempted to commercialize the ability of the fruit to turn non-sweet foods into sweet foods without a caloric penalty, but ended in failure when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified the berry as a food additive. There are theories that the FDA had pressure from

the sugar companies of the time, as they believed this product could put them out of business.

THE PLANT

This small, tropical, evergreen shrub grows very slowly to a height of 4-6 ft in container, and 10-15 ft in natural habitat. Eventual size depends on where the plant is grown; a 10 years old plant might be easily only 4-5 feet tall. It forms an oval to pyramidal shaped bush or small tree. Inconspicuous brown-andwhite 1/2 inch flowers are followed by bright red, 3/4-inch, oval fruit. Most of the fruit is taken up by a single large seed, but the pulp around it can be nibbled off and then for the next hour or so, anything one eats that is sour has a sweet flavour, as if sugar has been added. In native habitat, two large crops are available yearly, each after a rainy season, but mature bushes usually have a few fruits hanging around all year. Seed to fruit in 3 to 4 years. Flower to fruit in 30 to 45 days. Miracle fruit must have rich, welldrained, acidic soils with a pH as low as 4.5 to 5.8. If planted in alkaline limestone based soils, the plant may die. It thrives under warm temperatures and high

humidity, grows best in partial shade and should be fertilized every two to three months with a balanced acidic fertilizer. It should be watered once or twice a week, or more often if dry. Miracle fruit makes an excellent container plant which gives it the added benefit of mobility. When plants are small they are subject to frost damage, so they should be container-grown and kept indoors or moved to protected locations when frost or freeze threatens. Older plants may tolerate an occasional mild freeze without being killed, but may suffer some leaf and minor twig damage. There are few insects or disease pests associated with the miracle fruit, and since it is so easily containerized, almost anyone can grow this plant whether they have an outside planting area or not.

PROPAGATION

When propagating miracle fruit, sow the seeds in a rich, well-drained medium, just barely covered, and water lightly every other day. You may need to try a few times as the germination rate of miracle fruit is only around 24%. Once they sprout, they grow slowly the first year, often being only two to three inches tall at the end of one year of growth. Then they start to grow more rapidly. It generally takes three to four years before the plants reach a height of about 1 foot and begin to flower. So when growing this plant from seed, be prepared to wait for a few years until you

can enjoy the first fruit.

THE FUN AND BENEFITS

The interest in miracle fruit is such that almost anyone who has a plant always finds eager volunteers to test its sweetening properties. The miracle fruit is a star performer at 'flavour-tripping parties', so named because of the odd sensational resemblance to the effects of hallucinogens. The tasters consume sour and bitter foods, such as lemons, radishes, raw onions, pickles, hot sauce, and beer to experience the taste changes that occur. Miracle Fruit is a great sweet enhancer for diabetics and dieters. It is a natural, healthy and harmless sweetener without the calories and ill effects of sugar. Due to its safety, it may have a great potential and practical use in

everyday life, a way to improve our diets and our health. The fruits are still of interest as a commercial source of artificial foodsweetener, the problem is how to increase the shelf life of the product. The berries are perishable, and once picked, last only a few days. And because the active protein miraculin is destroyed by heating, the pulp must be preserved without heating so that canning, jams, preserves, baking, drying, etc. are impossible. However, compressed freeze-dried pulp is available in tablets that have a shelf life of 10 to 18 months. In Spanish this plant is called 'Fruta milagrosa' and if any of you readers know where you can buy the plant or seeds I would love to hear from you. Marc Vijverberg

If only we could insure ourselves against insurers...!

bout forty years ago, my Irishborn wife and I went on our first foreign holiday. We had a wonderful time, but during our stay in Spain, the only expensive camera we ever owned (a wedding present) got stolen. ‘You can claim off your travel insurance’, was the comforting words from the compassionate tour guide. ‘I will give you a certificate for your insurance’, offered the nice policeman, in broken English. The insurance company rejected our claim. ‘You didn’t take sufficient care of the camera; you should have gone swimming in your turns’. Can you imagine a young couple dividing their holiday into ‘my turn to swim and your turn to mind the camera’? I let it go – something which always bothered me until last month. In 1994, Joe Bardon and I went to the World Cup in America. The greatest trip I have ever been on (ooops … of those without you, Darling!). Whilst waiting for my luggage at arrivals in JFK Airport, I suddenly spotted this shirt which looked familiar, and it going around on the carousel of its own free will. The teeth of a lifter had ripped my bag into bits. Eventually I gathered up all my few

duds … after everyone noting what I would be wearing for the next two weeks. I got certification of the damage. It never occurred to me to claim any loss or damage, other than to replace the

bag. I bought one the same, forwarded the receipt and letters from the airport authorities to the travel insurers – and that was the last I heard of bag or money. I was busy in those years, and it being only a fifty quid claim, I let it go. In the summer of 2014, Pamela took out travel insurance on both of us, before we went to a wedding in Canada. It was just as cheap to take out a twelve month policy, so that’s what she did with AXA Travel Insurance. The wedding was great and we got Tara hitched without a

hitch. That October I went to my GP for an annual check-up. A blood sample showed a slight rise in my PSA ‘nothing to worry about, but we’ll get it checked out’, said Doctor Liam. The letter back from eminent surgeon, Professor Thomas Lynch stated that he didn’t think it was cause for concern, but we would do an MRI as a matter of course. I thought no more about it and in November I paid 400 Euro deposit on a holiday for the following May. In January of 2015 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and I had major surgery the following April. Our health insurance plan did not cover me for the hospital I was referred to – but that one was my own choice and entirely my own fault. I cancelled the holiday planned for the month after my surgery and claimed the deposit back from our travel insurance. AXA refused to pay, on the grounds that I had the cancer – though

not diagnosed, at the time of booking the holiday. “A pre-existing disease.” There was an ‘excess’ of 150 Euro, so all they would have had to pay was 250 Euro. I got a curt rebuttal from Athlone – even after producing letters from doctor and consultant to say there was no symptoms of the cancer when I booked the holiday - and that I couldn’t have known. I remembered the camera and the shirt and the blatant unfairness of this one meant I wasn’t going to let go. I appealed and now found myself dealing with at least five different, faceless people in another country – England. In letters, I was told what their ‘Medical Team’ and ‘Skilled Investigators’ decided. Here I was so fortunate that probably the best solicitor I have ever known; Shelley Leonard, of Larkin, Tynan & Nohilly, was so incensed when I told her and she took on the case with great diligence and professionalism. AXA pushed her to the limit. It went to arbitration and the whole thing took fifteen months. When they were proven wrong on their original clause for rejection, they plucked a different line from the several pages of small-print. Frustrate and delay! BUT THEY LOST THIS

ONE! Not only did we win the case, but the Ombudsman ruled that on account of the manner I had been treated by AXA, they could not retain any ‘excess’ … so we got the full 400. I have passed this on to charity … but maybe I’ll buy myself a camera and a shirt while I’m at it! In the past week, I met a tradesman who won’t insure his tools, because he believes that all the conditions and small print attached to the policy would mean he would never get paid in the event of theft. There are many women who don’t insure their jewellery for the same reason. Clearly, not all insurance bought is money well spent. Other than the obvious car insurance and public liability, I believe that in many instances there is a case to be made for carrying our own risks. If only we could insure against the insurers!!

The Full Body Diagnostic Scan at MedB Clinic The full Body Diagnostic Scan performed at MedB clinic is the most in-depth scan available in hospitals today. The computerised scan examines all organs of the body in minute detail looking for the causes of disease as well as identifying specific diseases that may be occurring. The scan uses advanced technology and intelligent computer programming to examine and interpret subtle frequencies from the body and presents a detailed health report. Our cells, tissues and organs have unique measurable frequencies, in a similar way that goods in a supermarket have barcodes. However, these frequencies change when a cell or an organ becomes diseased. Since the 1980s, scientists have studied and mapped out these frequencies to many diseases. The research to map out more diseases is still ongoing. The technology used at MedB clinic is called Sensitiv Imago and is the most advanced of this class of diagnostic technology. It can identify over 1200 pathological processes with an accuracy of 96%. Sensitiv Imago has been rigorously tested and is an approved diagnostic technology for the European Union. Sensitiv Imago is completely safe

and non-invasive, unlike CT scans that expose the body to deadlyradiation. The full body scan takes about 45 minutes in a comfortable chair, and the client can watch the process on a computer screen. The printed report is usually ready within days after the scan and comes with a thorough explanation. The report is detailed but systematically organised to reflect the body in a manner that makes sense to a layperson. It starts with a list of the 3 weakest systems of the body. These are the weakest regions of your body and the regions that need the most help. Following the weak systems is the report of the state of all the organs. The scan measures the rate of inflammation and degeneration of all the organs of the body, but what sets the scan apart from other scans is that it also searches the organs for the likely cause of diseases. The scan will examine the organs for hidden causes of disease including, viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, worms, toxins, allergens, electromagnetic pollutants, and other factors that remain undetectable by conventional scans. Also, the report from the scan will include the results of a blood test performed during the scan without taking blood, and the list of the

The traders in the markets of Torrevieja and La Mata are concerned that there seems to be a lack of police presence in their markets at the moment. The Friday market in Torrevieja and the Wednesday market in La Mata are both very popular attractions during the year but during the summer in particular. However, they are not only an attraction for tourists but for pickpockets and illegal street traders too. The drop in police presence has been noted since the beginning of July and market traders are concerned that as the police retreat so the sellers of counterfeit goods return. The traders are concerned that allowing this to go unchecked could result in more serious crimes and clashes taking place. The counterfeit sellers, mostly from Senegal, display their goods, such as clothes, adjacent to legitimate traders who are selling the same products. Organised groups of pickpockets are also circulating around the markets and need checking by a more prominent police presence, that ideally also contains police in plain uniform. During the summer months the priorities for policing change. Additional police officers are required

on the beaches and near the waterfront in the town centre. The concerns of the traders have been picked up by the councillor for markets, Africa Celdrán who with the mayor, José Manuel Dolón, has requested from the police that there be some adjustment of schedules to ensure that the counterfeit groups can be tackled in the markets too. Of particular concern is that clashes might erupt between the market traders and counterfeit sellers going

beyond verbal exchanges. The traders have submitted evidence of their concerns with photos of the illegal items that are on sale. However, police chiefs believe that it is more important to curb the sale of counterfeit goods in beach and paseo areas in the town centre. The traders of Torrevieja are keen to point out that they pay the town hall for their pitches and for the cleaning of waste and there should be a police presence to help protect their trade.

British Deputy Ambassador and Consul listen to EU referendum concerns In a meeting on Tuesday last (19 July), local British residents had the chance to put their concerns about the outcome of the recent EU referendum to the Deputy Ambassador, Tim Hemmings, and Consul for Alicante, Sarah-Jane Morris. The British Embassy representatives

promised to keep them up to date with developments concerning the UK’s exit from the European Union. The meeting discussed the practical implications of the referendum outcome, and was hosted by the provincial government of Alicante. Local

government officials, hoteliers and legal specialists spoke to the recently appointed Mr Hemmings about the key issues facing British nationals in Spain after the EU membership referendum. The meeting also heard the views of representatives from local English speaking associations.

Deputy Ambassador emphasised the strong trade and investment links between the UK and Spain, and said that the UK’s relationship with Spain would remain close after the UK’s exit from the EU. Alicante Consul Sarah-Jane Morris added, “We are committed to listening to

L-R Pedro Heredia Ortiz (Lawyer and President of the International Law Section at the Alicante Lawyers' Society), Deputy Ambassador Tim Hemmings, Cristina Rodes Sala (President of the Provincial Association of Alicante Hotels), British Consul Sarah-Jane Morris

Tim Hemmings reassured British residents that they would “not experience any immediate changes in their circumstances”. Recognising the high number of Brits living in the Valencia region, he explained that the rights of both British and Spanish citizens to live, work and study in each other’s countries had not changed, and the UK would remain a full member of the EU until exit negotiations were completed.

New Spanish heritage site Spain has a new UNESCO destination to put on your must-see sites in Spain, along with Gibraltar. The Antequera dolmens have officially received UNESCO World Heritage status. The UN cultural agency had been gathered in Istanbul to decide whether or not the elaborate structures, which date back to between 5,000 and 22,000 BC, were worthy of the label. The Dolmens are an ensemble of megalithic monuments made up of the Menga and Viera dolmens and the tholos of El Romeral. They are described as outstanding examples of megalithic architecture and are among the most recognised and quoted in the world. The Menga Dolmen is famous for its significant geographical location – on the summer solstice, 21st June, the morning sun shines over the peak of the Peña de los Enamorados and straight along the dolmen’s entrance corridor. The specific positioning would have had mystical importance for the prehistoric tribes who built it. It is believed the architects were farmers who resided in the Guadalhorce valley during the Neolithic period and copper age. It would have taken the combined effort of several communities to source and transport the stones and to complete the constructions. They have remained remarkably intact having been built at least 5,000 years ago. Gibraltar’s Gorham cave has also been awarded UNESCO World Heritage status.

Too hot to sleep? Whilst we all enjoy the warmer weather the annual downside, restless nights, is also taking its toll. Are you sleeping? Seem to be the question on everyone’s lips and everyone has their own solutions, from freezing the sheets, to cool showers and a tot of whiskey at bed time, but what is the best thing to do to make sure you get enough rest during these hot and sticky nights? The Sleep School's expert Dr Guy Meadows has ten top tips to keep you cool and get you to sleep, rather than be hot and bothered, counting sheep. 1. Keep a cool head Getting frustrated and restless because you are hot only generates more heat and keeps you awake even longer. Keep a cool head by lying still only by accepting the heat can you move your mind and body closer to sleep. 2. Frozen bedding When bedroom temperatures soar drastically, action is often needed. Pop your sheets and pillows into bags and put them in a freezer ready for bedtime. If you have aircon put it on for an hour-or-so before going to bed to cool the room.

3. Choose cotton - and pyjamas! Save satin, silk or polyester sheets for a cooler day. Cotton bed linens are lightweight and breathable, promoting airflow in your bedroom. And keep those pyjamas on! The temptation may be to go commando, but as cotton lets your skin breathe it also allows for air circulation. 4. Make your own breeze Humans sleep best in a cool bedroom, with the ideal temperature being 17ºC. Open a window or invest in an electric fan to add an extra breeze if you don’t have aircon. 5. Late night entertaining Warmer nights lead to delayed bed times, which can lead to later eating and drinking close to bedtime. This is all good summer fun, but the downside is trouble sleeping. For the best quality sleep aim to leave at least two hours between eating and sleeping, while limiting alcohol close to bedtime. 6. Lose a layer Use sheets and blankets, rather than duvets; these can help to regulate the body temperature quickly and easily. Ideally one

light cotton sheet is ample to cover you on a warm night. 7. Reach for the H2O Have a glass of water by the bed to drink if and when needed. Drinking a full glass of water before bed can lead to multiple toilet visits throughout the night which will stop you falling into a deep and restful slumber. 8. Cool shower Take a cool shower before bed for a quick and easy way to cool down. Avoid freezing showers as these can be over stimulating and wake you up.

9. Summer noise Warm weather encourages outdoor activities with lots of loud, excited voices! Use ear plugs to block out noise for a quiet sleep environment. 10. Wear yourself out Just like children we all sleep better after a full and busy day. Exercise regularly in the early evening as the heat of the day dies down. Around 30 minutes of strenuous exercise will burn off any excess energy and tire muscles so that once your eaten you main meal you are tried, full and ready for a good night’s sleep.

Are you on the move?

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

Whether you’re thinking of selling or are in the process of completing your sale, there’s one thing that most people dread…moving! The best way to help with the stress is to be as organised as possible. It’s not too bad if it’s a holiday home as most times they’re sold fully furnished, but if it’s your permanent residence then like everyone else, you’ve accumulated memories along the way that need to be boxed up and moved with you to your new home. It’s always advisable to sort through what you want to keep and what you want to donate when your house comes to the market, but I know that this isn’t everyone’s favourite job and putting it off until you’ve found a buyer seems like a good idea. Notice the word “seems”… If you start early enough and do a little at a time, this will definitely help ease the potential stress of the impending move. But, if time is not on your side

and you need to get moving physically and literally, then start by putting postit notes on items to keep. I’ve used green ones for “go,” red ones for “no” and yellow ones for “maybe”. If you need boxes, instead of buying them, why not go to your local supermarket and ask them for some. They’re always throwing boxes out and will be glad to let you have them for free. When it comes to boxing up fragile items, wrap them in towels and clothing. This will save you money on bubble wrap and paper. Jewellery can slide everywhere, even in jewellery boxes. By threading necklaces through a straw then closing the clasp will keep them from tangling together. Most importantly with any major move, is to be prepared for your first night in your new home. Keep one box to the side with all of your immediate necessities within easy reach. Put in the box - paper plates, plastic cutlery, paper cups,

kitchen towel, toilet paper, soap and dishwashing liquid. At least now you won’t be rummaging around going through every box looking for some soap! In most cases sellers leave their homes in reasonably clean condition, but there’s nothing like having a good clean through yourself in your new home before filling the kitchen cupboards. Unlike in Scandinavia, sellers in Spain are not obligated to have the property professionally cleaned before handing over the keys to the new homeowners, so try to be considerate when leaving your old home for your new one. Packing up in the early morning or later at night will be easier as it’s too hot during the day to manage such a demanding job this time of year. You do know the easier alternative is to pay someone to do it for you - whilst you sit back and look forward to the first night in your new home! Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough! See our advert in the centre pages of this newspaper. www.homes4u.es

MESSAGES IN DREAMS One of the ways in which the spirit world can communicate with us are through our dreams If you have dreamed of a loved one in spirit, know that they have visited you to give you comfort and to let you know that their love lives on. If you wake up remembering your dreams, remember to write them down and look up the message. This could be something that you are going through in this present time or may even be a clue to something coming in. These dreams are called Prophetic dreams as they seem to tell the future. I have had many such dreams especially when working on the Rescue Mediums show. I have written an example below, which proved to contain clues about what we found during our walkabout in the 'haunted house' and how we brought the investigation to a fruitful close.

THE DOVE Whilst in Canada I had a dream the evening before we met our homeowners. I was in a kitchen I didn't recognise and I knew there was something wrong even before I heard a flapping noise. As I looked over towards the kitchen window I could see a white dove in distress as it tried to make its escape out of the

window. I ran over to it, trying to do everything in my power to release it but to no avail. I realised that the poor thing was injured and I woke up feeling really upset that I couldn't help it. The dream was extremely vivid and in full colour. I truly felt as if I was there, and I mentioned this when reading out my premonitions of our psychic investigation to the homeowners. During the walkabout in the house I saw the kitchen, which was exactly as I had seen it in my dream. There were also white bird ornaments hanging from the ceiling which was uncanny. During our walkabout we saw a large feather on the wall pointing down towards the basement; I shouted out excitedly as I had draw a feather just like it on one of my psychic drawings which I had called 'strength'. Was this a message for us from our spirit guides telling us we needed all our strength for the investigation? The entity in the property certainly felt strong as we had experienced physical pain and I could smell something disgusting - it was obvious that the spirit was trying to tell us something. I also felt I was in the ground down below and I kept feeling

angry like I was fighting with someone, and at one point I felt as if I'd had all the wind knocked out of me as if someone had hit me hard.... We knew we had to be in the cellar of the house to do the spirit rescue. It didn't take long before the spirit to come forward and he was indeed angry. In fact, he didn't realise he was dead! It took immense strength to guide him to the light and once we compared the story with independent research it was extremely poignant. He was a Scottish man who immigrated to Canada with his family in the early 1900's. They moved into the house in which our homeowners live. Both he and his son enlisted and fought in WW1 on the Western Front and had to endure appalling conditions in the deep trenches

such as rats and the awful stink of rotting human excrement. The son was shot by a German sniper at the age of 18 and his father was suffering from a debilitating disease and was taken to hospital by boat, having to leave his son in the shell-torn fields of Flanders. We realised eventually what a big clue the dove was that I'd had in my dream. At the Show and Tell, we explained to the homeowners that the bird I had seen in my dream denoted a trapped spirit and the soul's release in death, together with the release of 21 doves as a tribute to the fallen heroes of the war, uniting the two meanings. On this episode, the viewer can see the soldier (an actor) walking to the light with a white dove flying behind him as a mark of respect.

The Investigator: A British Crime Story – ITV – 10.00 pm

Award-winning journalist Mark Williams-Thomas re-investigates the mysterious disappearance of Bournemouth wife and mother Carole Packman. Her husband Russell is in jail for her murder but Carole's body has never been found. In this fourpart series, Mark wants to investigate further the relationship between Russell and his mistress Patricia. He tracks down one of her old boyfriends and hears his account of how Russell and Patricia behaved after Carole's disappearance. Mark discovers that five years after Carole disappeared, someone claiming to be Carole signed over her share of the family home to Patricia. Mark enlists the help of a handwriting expert to help find answers. Mark uncovers a series of letters in which Sam's father speaks for the first time about what happened in 1985 - but is he telling the truth? With the help of forensic experts, Mark sets about testing the theories of what could have happened to Carole Packman.

King Kong – ITV2 – 7.30 pm Derided at the time, largely because it was produced by the then king of schlock Dino De Laurentiis, John Guillermin's remake of the 1933 classic actually has a lot going for it. The Oscar winning special effects sit happily with the tongue-in-cheek campiness that the three leads play along with and there's a superb John Barry score that is among the best of his long career.

The Secret Life of 4 Year olds – More 4 – 10.00 pm Another chance to see Channel 4’s series that lifts the lid on the riveting, uncensored drama of life in the nursery. Filmed over a summer, the series follows three groups of children from across the country, aged four, five and six years old, as they meet for the first time. In this first episode, the four-year-olds take their first steps towards independence, learning about friendships and social interaction with all the ups, downs and humour that entails. Forthright Tia adopts a leading role in the group and is not afraid to express her opinion and teach the others right from wrong. This can lead to some consternation in the playground, in particular with Jack.

July 26th - August 1st 2016

t may be hot, but it’s never too hot for Hot Chocolate. Well not if it’s the music from the band. This week Greg Bannis, ex lead singer from Hot Chocolate comes to the Costa Blanca. Greg who headed the band for 18 years is starting his tour on 27th at The Club in Quesada with a world premiere show with Greyhound singer Glenroy Oakley. Amazingly the two vocal stars have never appeared together. It is very rare to get not only one act that is known all over the world but two who are appearing for the first time ever. Despite performing in front of thousands of people at a time, you won’t find anyone who acts less like the Superstar he is than, Greg Bannis. He has recently returned from doing massive concerts in Austria and Germany and is looking forward to the heat of Spain that he loves. The “Hot like Chocolate” tour continues into late August, after which Greg will be off to pastures new again until 2017. Greg can be seen for the first time in many venues as far afield as Benidorm, Santa Pola, Murcia and down to La Manga. Keep an eye out in this gig guide for details for venues near you. This Saturday is the special once a year fiesta in the village of San Cayetano just over the border into Murcia. The International Day is held behind the Civic Centre and promotes the gathering of not only the local villagers but also those of surrounding areas. Coming all the way from Benidorm are fun duo Zodiac. They are joined by songstress and popular host and compere Dee (as seen at Benidorm Palace). These events are the life of small villages and bring young and old and people of all nationalities together with the power of music Something that everyone can enjoy. The organisers have a real passion for keeping the community spirit alive and spend many months planning the event. Funds will go towards other fiestas for the area to enjoy. This week I have been contacted by many acts from the UK and Ireland looking to come and perform in our area. I find that most encouraging that despite many set backs that we experience here, mostly due to music laws and noise complaints that we are in the “go to” area for entertainment. It certainly isn’t all sunshine and sangria for those who choose to earn their living on stage but where else do you get the diversity of venues – (some with stunning vistas), hot weather, blue skies and very appreciative audiences? Costa Blanca People – you have to go a long way round the world to find people like you! If you would like your events in this guide, they are FREE. Just email me the details to letsrockshowslive@gmail.com. To book acts please go to my new site www.jaxlawson.com Shows dates can be found on www.lrshows.com Love life, love music and support your venues and acts. Jax Lawson xx

Landmark court case bittersweet for rescue centre A Spanish man who kept 14 horses and nine donkeys in squalid conditions has received a nine-month suspended prison sentence and been banned from owning equines in a landmark animal abuse ruling. The plea bargain came after the man relinquished ownership of the animals just hours before he would have stood in court. But the move has angered Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre co-founders Sue and Rod Weeding, who said the deal allowed the man to avoid a public trial and fine for one of Spain's largest ever animal abuse cases. The Weedings have cared for the 14 horses since they were seized by police in March 2014 from a property at Callosa de Segura. All of the animals were extremely malnourished and some were near death when rescued. The case was to go to Orihuela court on 2nd June 2. But just one day before, lawyers called a meeting in which the former owner agreed to legally grant Mrs Weeding ownership of the horses. As part of the agreement, formally signed off by

the courts on 8th July, the man received a nine-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, and was also banned from owning equines or trading animals for three years. “We had hoped this man would receive some sort of fine. He has cost so many people so much time and money, not to mention the suffering he inflicted upon these animals, and now he gets off almost scot-free,” Sue Weeding said. “We feel like the lawyer we were working with has done a complete uturn. As a result, a huge opportunity has been missed, because this court case would have set a precedence across Spain. What kind of message does this send now to animal abusers?” The March 2014 rescue involved a court seizure order for the horses and donkeys, which were found chained to a wall in a falling down building and were filthy, terrified and literally starving. Their owner, an equine dealer, allegedly went bankrupt and failed to provide his animals with adequate food, water and care.

Solidarity in San Miguel More than fifty people formed a ‘circle of solidarity’ with migrants and refugees in the Freedom Square of San Miguel de Salinas. In the center of the circle was a representation of the Mediterranean Sea and on its banks, the barbed wire, separating the borders of European countries. The event was organised and promoted by the parish of San Miguel de Salinas, the Muslim community, the HOAc (Workers Brotherhood of Catholic Action) and the neighborhood association ‘San Miguel Archangel’. The organisers, in a firm commitment to all human beings, used the event to show the town’s belief in solidarity with all those people who are forced by hunger, war or exploitation to abandon their land, their friends and their personal history and possessions to search for a better place for them and their families to live.

The town vowed its commitment through the implementation of the Charter of Human Rights to all people “without distinction of race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status”. Mireille Toddington

UK-funded, Malaga-based donkey refuge El Refugio del Burrito agreed to take the nine donkeys, but it does not have facilities for horses. Without the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre agreeing to take the remaining 14 horses, none of the animals would have been saved, as they were all named under the same seizure order and therefore must legally be removed simultaneously. “These are horses that are seized by the police and legally put into our care, but we do not receive any money from the government or police to look after them,” Sue said. “Of course we will care for them for the rest of their lives. But to do that we have to find ways to fund them. It seems ridiculous that the owner does not have to pay a single cent.” The case was originally closed without prosecution, but El Refugio del Burrito funded a specialist animal lawyer who worked to have it reopened. This lawyer then made the deal with the equines' former owner last month. It is believed the man is ageing and unwell, and the plea bargain was made in an attempt to reduce stress on him. Huge cost Sue Weeding said she was pleased to see the man had been criminally convicted of animal abuse, but believed he should have been fined and made to face court. She had totalled the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre's costs to care for the 14 horses, to present as evidence to the court. The bill has almost topped €66,000, including feed, veterinary care, horse hospital bills and the farrier – costs covered by donations, charity shop

fundraising, and Mr and Mrs Weeding themselves. “These aren’t riding horses. These are animals that have been mistreated and are unsound. It isn’t like we’ve taken away all these valuable horses, because they aren’t. They were just a bunch of broken down old horses that no one wanted,” Sue said. “Obviously we love the horses and we want to take care of them. But we hope seeing the costs will make people actually understand the enormity of what we undertake here in Spain, where a proper animal welfare system doesn't really exist yet.” The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre continues to care for 12 of the Callosa de Segura horses. Sadly, one skeletal mare died of intestinal complications shortly

after her rescue – but not before miraculously giving birth to a foal, Lily, who continues to live happily with her adopted mother at the rescue centre. A second horse died of old age in December last year. “We are so pleased to see these horses now enjoying life at our rescue centre. They spend their days in the fresh air and sunshine, and will never again be chained to walls,” Sue said. The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre relies entirely on donations to fund its important animal welfare work, including the feeding and care of the centre’s more than 90 horses, ponies and donkeys rescued from abuse, neglect and abandonment.

Taste testing with a difference Top chefs and scientists are to gather in Spain to explore taste. Do genetics influence what we like to eat? Why does food taste better when we are hungry? High-profile chefs and scientists will get together at a symposium in Spain to try and find out. The gathering will be held in the Basque seaside resort of San Sebastian and run from 24th to 26th October. It is first event organised by ‘Brainy Tongue,’ a project launched by the Barcelona-based Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), a biomedical research institute, and the Basque Culinary Center, a gastronomy school. At the convention, Andoni Luis Aduriz, whose avant-garde Mugaritz restaurant is rated the world’s seventh best by Britain's influential Restaurant magazine, Britain's Heston Blumenthal and Singapore pastry

chef Janice Wong will work with geneticists, physicists and neuroscientists from Oxford, Cambridge or Yale universities. “The world of cooking has always been close to science and that of science to cooking,” Aduriz said at the presentation of the Brainy Tongue project in Barcelona. “But there was still something missing.” Chefs the world over know how to pleasure their guests with their dishes and what products go well with others, and ‘the magic of this process is based in neuroscience,’ said CRG researcher Matthieu Louis. But ‘we don't know most of the scientific principles that lie behind exceptional food.’ Understanding these could enable the creation of menus tailor-made to someone’s genetic profile or general health, for instance, or even virtual

olfactory or gustatory realities. Spain’s northern Basque country, where San Sebastian is located, is famous for its traditional and avant-garde haute cuisine. San Sebastian itself boasts the world's biggest number of Michelin stars per square metre after Japan's Kyoto.

Spaniard sells London’s top apartment A Spanish developer has put London’s most expensive apartment up for sale. The luxury residence is located inside Admiralty Arch and will cost the best part of 200 million euros, according to information in the London Evening Standard. The luxury home, which is going for as much as €178.5 million (150 million pounds), is located in the Admiralty Arch, which is a landmark site built by King Edward VII between 1910 and 1912

as a tribute to his mother Queen Victoria. Rafael Serrano bought a 250-year lease on the entire building from the British government in 2012. Under the deal, his company Prime Investors Capital agreed to convert the 13,685square-meter structure into a five-star hotel with 100 bedrooms, with some space reserved for luxury residential apartments. The price tag for the fully serviced

apartments ranges between €100,000 and €115,000 per square metre, according to London property developers. Buyers interested in purchasing a full-sized apartment would spend around €178.5 million, including stamp duty and fees. If a buyer is found, the transaction will beat out the sale of a loft apartment in One Hyde Park, which was sold for a record €166 million in 2014.

Terrorists want to reclaim Spain Pokemon causes havoc in Barcelona Pokemon. Barcelona police officers had to remove the two tourists playing the Nintendo game from inside the Rovira Tunnel. The tourists who illegally entered Barcelona’s busy underground road in search of Pokémon, were discovered last Monday morning by local police who found the pair wandering along the almost hard shoulder-less 1.2 kilometre underground road packed with rush hour traffic. “We’re here because there are Pokémon inside the tunnel,” explained the tourists, tablet in hand. Officers were circling the tunnel when they saw two figures, one female and one male. Concerned for their safety, the patrol initially assumed the pair had been involved in some kind of accident and were trying to find the exit. The policemen asked if they had been injured, or if their car had broken down.

However, the tourists replied nonchalantly that they had been playing Pokemon Go, Nintendo’s recently launched game that consists of finding and collecting creatures scattered in all sorts of places around the world – including, apparently, the Rovira Tunnel, which had the dubious honor of being named one of the most dangerous tunnels in Europe in a 2006 report by EuroTAP (European Tunnel Assessment Programme). Surprised by the reason given by the tourists and their stupidity, the officers informed them that they were not permitted to enter the tunnel in search of Pokémon and escorted them out. Authorities said the gamers have not been charged, and failed to comment on whether the pair had found their Pokemon.

Ryanair death A passenger on a Ryanair flight from Valencia airport has died on board from a suspected heart attack, sources from the low-cost carrier reveal. The 77-year-old man was on a plane heading for Milan's Malpensa airport last Tuesday morning at around 6.30am when he collapsed unconscious just minutes before take-off when the craft was already full of passengers. Paramedics rushed to the scene, but despite every effort, they were unable to

restart the man's heart or breathing. Other travellers had to witness the distressing sight of the pensioner's body being removed from the plane, which was delayed by over an hour.

One in three arrested Spanish jihadists wanted to attack Spain and contrary to popular belief, most detainees were not lone wolves but part of newly created cells, a report shows. The new report by a leading think tank about the activities of Islamic State (ISIS) in Spain shows a shift away from the “lone wolf” radicalisation process to one in which relatives, friends and neighbours are playing a growing role. Researchers at the Real Instituto Elcano also found that out of the 124 jihadists who were arrested in Spain between June 2013 and May 2016, 34.5 percent of them – one in three – wanted to carry out an attack on Spanish soil, either out of hatred or a desire to earn a place in paradise. Fernando Reinares and Carola García Calvo, the authors of the report, found that the lone wolf is increasingly being replaced by a new type of jihadist. In 94 percent of cases they looked at from 2013, terrorists were part of recently created cells, while three out of four had some form of direct organizational link to the so-called Islamic State. In other words, they were not acting independently, but were part of networks. Most of these networks are international. In many cases, jihadists had connections to individuals in Morocco, France and Belgium, as well as

with Turkey, which is a transit nation for most European combatants heading to Syria and Iraq. Spain-based jihadists, says the report, no longer act or become radicalised alone and now belong to what the authors call “wolf packs.” Their reasons for joining the Islamic State are varied, ranging from emotional crises to a desire to go to heaven or undertake personal penance. “There came a point when I didn’t care about the world anymore,” one jihadist is reported as telling police. “It’s an opportunity for sinners like me,” said another.

Hatred of Europe and European values also drives some young men toward radicalisation, as evidenced by conversations intercepted by the police and referred to in the report. “Seeing the terror on Europeans’ faces was priceless,” said one of the perpetrators of the Paris attacks of November 13, 2015. “All people who live in Spain are criminals,” said one individual arrested here. “Damn

their race, I can’t stand them,” said another. This analysis contradicts the widely accepted sociological theory that recruits are radicalised on the internet and social networks. Instead, the report shows that the main points of contact with violent radicalism are worship centers headed by charismatic leaders, personal homes or penitentiaries. That is to say that physical contact is more important than virtual contact, in a process that typically begins when the target is between 15 and 29 years old. ISIS Members Figures ending in May 2016 show there were 129 Spanish nationals in Syria and Iraq fighting for the Islamic State. Another 29 had died and 20 had returned to Spain. Barcelona stands out among all Spanish cities as a hotbed for radicalisation: 28.2 percent of detainees lived in the Catalan capital or surrounding area. Meanwhile, the exclave cities of Ceuta and Melilla, located along the northern coast of Africa, remain the main places of origin of Spanish islamists. Most Spain-based jihadists (83.1 percent of cases) are men aged around 30, either Moroccan or born in Spain to Muslim immigrants. Typically they are married and have at least two children. These recruits also tend to have little or no personal knowledge about Islam (only 11 percent displayed understanding of its precepts) and often have a criminal record.

Vueling pledges PROGRAMME OF FESTIVITIES business as usual CIUDAD QUESADA 2016 Vueling has taken on extra staff and pledged that it’s ‘business as usual’ for August. The low-cost airline has improved flight punctuality and says it does not envisage any cancellations in August, following a chaotic July with up to 40 flights a day grounded and passengers left stranded. No flights have been cancelled or rescheduled in the last week, and the first weekend in August - which sees more movement than any other weekend of the year as tourists flock to Spain's coastal areas - is expected to run like clockwork. Secretary of infrastructure and transport for the regional government of Catalunya - where Vueling is based Ricard Font says that Vueling's punctuality has increased from 80 percent to 83 percent in the last week, taking into account the half-hour margin always added onto programmed flight times; 95 percent take off and land within an hour of their schedule and 100 percent within

three hours. An extra plane and 37 additional crew members have been drafted in, plus 250 ground staff, to cope with the increase in demand over the summer when an average of 740 flights are expected to take off daily. However, Vueling has warned that some flights may suffer delays and even cancellations on Saturday - an issue affecting all airlines, due to an air-traffic controller strike in Italy. Given that Vueling has a major base in Rome, the impact could be greater. Between the end of June and middle of July, over a three-week period, 8,000 passengers were stranded when their flights were cancelled and 54,000 suffered delays. But they are entitled to claim compensation if their flight was called off or delayed for three hours or more. Vueling has already begun issuing payments and sending out bulk emails.

Bullet in post sent to ex-Valencia Mayor Valencia’s ex-mayor Rita Barberá (PP) has reported that someone has sent her a bullet through the post, anonymously. It has been a gruelling week for the politician. She was at the Parliamentary leader voting session in Madrid recently and, not realising her microphone was still switched on, was heard to say ‘I can't wait to get back to Valencia and go to bed’. The day before, it had been announced that the so-called ‘Ritaleaks’ case had been dropped by the court - a high-profile scandal in which details of Barberá's expenses during her 20-year reign in the city hall were made public, showing she had spent up to €9,000 of taxpayers’ money on five-star hotels for her bodyguards during her two-month summer holidays at her sister’s villa in Jávea. However, once she did return home, she found a package addressed to her and containing a bullet. The PP in Valencia has been implicated in various public fund embezzlement cases involving inflated estimates and invoices for public works with the difference allegedly being pocketed by politicians and companies

carrying out the jobs. One of these is the ongoing Nóos Institute trial in which King Felipe VI's brother-in-law, Iñaki Urdangarín, is facing up to 20 years in jail and the monarch's sister, the Infanta – the non-Crown Princess - Cristina, has also been charged. Rita, who lost her position as mayor in last May’s elections and made a sideways move into the Senate, has reported the bullet to the police.

She says this is not the first time she has suffered similar threats - in January 2015, a handwritten letter addressed to her at the city hall with what appeared to be deliberately-bad spelling, and with a false ‘return to sender’ address, turned up on her desk with a bullet inside it. The letter featured the words ‘liberty and anarchy’, and was handed straight to the National Police.

Brits arrested for recklessness on the water A boat crewed by two Britons was intercepted by the Maritime Police for creating a hazard on the water after it made a kayak overturn. Agents from the Maritime Unit caught up with the Briton’s motor boat immediately following the incident, and they are accused before the Harbourmaster of reckless driving. The irresponsible pair was reported before the Harbourmaster in Alicante for reckless driving and making a kayak holding two people overturn at Santa Pola. According to the Elche Local Police, agents from the Maritime Unit stopped the motorboat because it caused the kayak to capsize, endangering its occupants as the larger and more powerful boat headed towards Arenales del Sol from the Marina. The incident happened just off the

Grand Beach of Santa Pola, and their aggressive driving showed ‘no respect for the maritime safety laws’, causing the kayak to overturn in their wake. Luckily the two occupants were unhurt. There followed a chase which covered several nautical miles, adding additional danger, as the agents tried to intercept the craft. The Maritime Unit of the Elche Local Police started its summer patrols at thebeginning of this month, and since then has effected more than 200 actions against street vendors, masseurs, dogs on the beach and drug use. They also acte against the illegal ownership of firearms, parking on the beach and helping citizens, including the arrest of a person subject to a search and capture order.

Hospital arranges Brexit conference Ensuring the correct coverage of medical services is the key to alleviate the potential consequences of Brexit, say experts at Quirónsalud Hospital Torrevieja. The Quirónsalud Hospital Torrevieja organized a conference of the effects that the ‘Brexit’ decision has for British residents living in Spain. The Quirónsalud hospital Torrevieja held a meeting with the British residents of the region in order to report on the possible consequences in legal and health matters that Brexit may present. Ensuring the correct coverage of medical services is the key to alleviate the potential consequences of Brexit, according to international experts group Quirónsalud area. In that sense, Victoria Abbad, head of international corporate area Quirónsalud explained that "from our private hospitals we work regularly with insurance companies in the UK". In fact, we offer: • The simplification of the repatriation process, which is possible in cooperation with the insurance company. • Diagnostic tests are performed quickly and efficiently.

• All medical equipment is available to treat patients at all times. • We have a team of English interpreters and medical staff who also speak this language. Patients from the UK can continue to use their European health insurance card, but if this scenario changed, the Quironsalud hospitals, are fully prepared to meet their medical needs through private health insurance. "We recommend that you keep your health insurance policy in the UK whenever possible. In fact, our hospitals have departments of international admission charge to help our patients and to resolve any questions "said Abbad. Various British associations were present at the event, organized by Quirónsalud to inform residents and representatives from Quesada Ladies Club, Association Help, Association of Age Concern, Association of Torrevieja Retired and Activities Club and was attended by Pedro Heredia, an expert in international law from Pellicer & Heredia group, as well as the vice-consul from the province of Alicante, Sara Munsterhjelm.

Britons are the largest group of ‘foreign’ European citizens in the province of Alicante, a total of 132,000 are of British nationality out of the 221,209. The importance of health insurance and having the correct information about your medical coverage policy is just one of the main aspects of interest for British residents in the area. International Service G24 G24 is a service that was invented by Quirónsalud to support and help the admission of international patients 24 hours every day of the year. This new service simplifies procedures and communications between hospitals and international insurance companies, which increases the perceived value and helps to bring patients to Quironsalud. Advice on contracting health insurance When contracting a valid health insurance you should consider the following: • Review the coverage on your travel insurance. • Check whether you have paid your trip with a credit card, because many credit cards already offer health coverage.

• Check if your health insurance UK has additional coverage while you are living in Spain Our international admissions department will help you find the coverage option that best suits the needs for your medical treatment in one of our hospitals.

Ben via email asks: Hi Aunty. I had a countdown timer that popped up on my laptop telling me I only had 8 days and 4 hours to get my free Windows 10 upgrade, so the question is, should I stick with Windows 7 that I love and has never given me any problems, or should I go for the upgrade to Windows 10 which I’m a bit wary about.

CostaBlancaPeople July 26th - August 1st 2016

Aunty Says: Hi Ben. Firstly Win7 is safe and will be supported up until January 14th 2020, so if you do choose to opt out of the free upgrade you will be OK for a good while. Win8 seems to be having more and more problems so in my opinion if any of you are running Win8 then do take advantage of the free upgrade. As of mid July there are still around 50% of us still using Win7, compared to just 10% using

Win8, so I imagine Microsoft will focus more resources keeping it’s Win7 users happy. I took advantage of the Win7 to Win10 upgrade and I’m very impressed. Lisa via email asks: Hello Aunty. In the last couple of days I have regularly been getting a message 'Policia Atencion' coming up (screen snapshot attached) and I can only get rid

www.costablancapeople.com

of it temporarily using Task Manager and then each time it appears it is from a different website. Any ideas on what is it and how on earth do I get rid of it? Aunty Says: Hello Lisa. This is a nasty virus that has been doing the rounds since 2010 and has morphed into different forms. Originally it appeared to be from the FBI and warned the victim that “illegal copyright or porn activity has been detected on your computer, but if you pay $200 you would get off with just a warning” The virus writers then adapted it to include the Metropolitan Police, and recently Interpol, and I have recently seen it showing up on a few Android devices. It is very authentic looking and pretty much stops you doing anything until you pay the fee. It is a really tricky virus to remove completely so maybe give it a go with your favourite antivirus program and Malwarebytes. If this fails then let me know and we can try a few other things. Terry via email asks: Hi there. I was running Windows 7 and I upgraded to 10 but prior to, and since the upgrade I often get the error “cannot connect to DNS server”. My connection is showing reasonable signal strength but I'm also told I'm not connected. I have Advance System Care installed along with I0bit Malware Fighter. Could please help? Aunty Says: Hi there Terry. The first thing I would suggest is to uninstall both those dodgy IObit apps and install Malwarebytes and do a full system scan. Also enable the built in Windows Defender antivirus app and do a full system scan with that as well. I think that will solve the problem but if not then there are a few simple tweaks in the “Network and Sharing Centre” but we can look into that if need be. Well that’s all folks, email me your problems to auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and I will see what I can do.

Learning Spanish is quick and cheap A new study claims that learning Spanish is both cost- and time-effective. However, surprisingly, Indonesian ranked as the cheapest language to learn. It’s good news for expats on the Costa Blanca looking for cultural immersion though, as Spanish ranks as the third cheapest language for Brits to learn. Spanish also shares the title for the fastest track to fluency with seven other European languages: Portuguese, Swedish, Romanian, Italian, Danish, French and Dutch. The study, performed by Voucherbox, an online coupon site, surveyed paid language-learning classes across 28 different languages and compiled the average time to fluency and the average cost per hour. According to their results, a person can achieve fluency in Spanish with 600 hours of study, at €12.01 per hour, for a total cost of €7,206 for complete fluency. Spanish came behind Portuguese at number two and, surprisingly, Indonesian at number one. Though fluency in Indonesian takes an additional 200 hours of study, it only costs €7.43 per hour.

Expat health cover pledge in Murcia Murcia Health Service has guaranteed medical attention to the 13,180 British residents with a health card in the region. Despite the fact that their care in health centres and hospitals is supposed to have cost the Murciano Health Service (SMS) 3.4 million euros last year. A representative councillor from the Murcia Health Service, Encarna Guillén, travelled to the Camposol estate in Mazarrón recently, where a large part of the British colony lives, to personally deliver a message of calm. Expats who attended the meeting were reassured that the regional government would honour its pledge to continue to provide healthcare with those who already have a SIP card…at least for now. The representative said: “The ‘Brexit’ is not yet invoicing, for the 13,182 British citizens with the health card that live in the region, but we maintain their acquired rights to be attended to.” During the meeting, which was also attended by the Mayor of Mazarrón, Alicia Jiménez, local residents were given the opportunity to share their concerns but the response was clear, ‘medical treatment and assistance for all the British

will be guaranteed’. According to the specific data, of the 13,182 British citizens with a health card in the region, of them 10,901 have their own health card as residents in the Murcia Autonomous Community. Another 2,037 have the European health card, and spend seasons here, and so they are attended to as European citizens using the economic compensation system set up by the European Union through the EHIC card. Another 243 Britons have a pensioners individual health card, 28 citizens receive assistance via a special agreement with the SMS, and 36 early retirees have presented a valid document to the Social Security Institute, to invoice directly their country or origin. Guillén assured residents that ‘for the moment everything will continue as until now. We cannot and should not anticipate the future, given that the ‘Brexit’ is not yet in force’. The sum repaid to the SMS last year from Britain was 3.4 million euros made up of 6,216 invoices which correspond to 3,643 for first aid, 2,321 for hospital visits and 299 for hospital stays.

The importance of a healthy bottom

he anus is an inelegant part of the anatomy that we often try to hide. However, almost as if to punish us for our rejection, the anus often strives to draw our attention by developing diseases that, while not serious, can become extremely annoying. If these diseases are painful, traditional surgery is often proposed as treatment. However, the risk of complications (or even simple embarrassment) often prompts us to delay addressing the problem. So often, patients delay dealing with the issue until they cannot take it anymore. Is there another solution? For a long time, there have been alternative treatments to surgery available for conditions such as haemorrhoids and fissures, which are the most common of the complaints. Some of the treatments have been fads, but others have managed to prove their effectiveness and improve over time. Today we are able to offer an effective solution, no surgery, no invasive treatment, no pain, no sick leave and affordable for most patients who suffer. HAEMORRHOIDS: To remove a haemorrhoid, surgery is no longer necessary nor is enduring torture during convalescence. The new treatment methods achieve brilliant results. This breakthrough is due to a major change of strategy: If we eliminate the problem gradually rather than all at once, the haemorrhoids can be removed without surgery, without anaesthesia and without bed rest or complications. In doing so, the treatment can be implemented in a few short sessions, without having to involve hospitals. The methods that have proven effective to remove the problem "gradually" are known as Elastic Band, sclerosis and Electro-fulguration. Managing the issue properly, complete success, even in very advanced cases can be achieved. The treatment must be carried out with a sufficiently long period of revisions, to be sure that the solution will be permanent.

FISSURES: Fissure pain can be improved from the very first treatment in consultation with the infiltration method. Perhaps best known is Botulinum Toxin (Botox) but it is not the most effective, because its effect is temporary and can produce serious complications such as transient incontinence. Other products such as Lauromacrogol can be used to greater effect, and that is what we use in our treatments for its high efficiency, its permanent effect and because it is harmless to health. The result is spectacular as the problem is resolved immediately and chronic anal pain can be eliminated from the first treatment session. To make the effect complete and permanent, it must be repeated 3 to 5 times over 3 months, provided on an outpatient basis and without needing to disrupt normal activity. The effectiveness of this treatment is similar to surgery, but without the drawbacks and without the risk of causing incontinence. What we offer at QUPA is the complete treatment of the fissure also eliminating internal haemorrhoids to prevent any irritating effect. OTHER DISEASES: There are diseases such as fistulas, fibroids, polyps, warts, etc. which do not have effective treatment without surgery. Our medical team is led by a surgeon with extensive experience in this field that allows you to treat many of these cases through outpatient consultation, avoiding loss of time, pain and expense. OUR TREATMENTS: In a free initial consultation to evaluate your case, we confirm the diagnosis, plan the treatment and agree a "fixed price" budget to avoid last minute surprises. Our complete confidence in our treatment allows us to offer our patients a guarantee of a successful outcome. Unfortunately, medicine is not mathematical and each patient evolves in a different way, so it is often necessary to repeat treatment sessions, so included with our treatment is a follow-up period of one year.

Your amazing body… There’s no doubt you learn a ton of things about the human body in biology class. However, there’s no way you were aware of these surprising facts… Blushing on the inside Of course, we blush when we are shy or embarrassed. But did you know that we also blush on the inside? When an emotion flushes our cheeks, it has the same effect - inside our stomach! Love and the brain Being in love is a strong feeling that affects our entire body. For instance, when we’re in love, our brain releases hormones and neurotransmitters similar to those released by amphetamines - a drug that stimulates cerebral activity and leads to decreased hunger and fatigue. Our heart rate can also accelerate and we can become overexcited. Age-old atoms The atoms that form the human body are quite old. In fact, they’re the same ones which were created during the Big Bang, around 13.7 billion years ago. Super strong muscles Weightlifters can achieve incredible things thanks to their muscles. Human muscles are extremely strong, more than you might think. To avoid injury and protect our tendons and muscles, our strength is restricted. Yet every now and then, like during an adrenaline rush, this “protection” disappears, allowing us to lift unbelievable loads, such as a vehicle. Eyes that can see quite far Eyes allow humans to see the world. In fact, they’re so effective that if our planet were flat, our eyes could spot the flame of a candle in the night nearly 50 km away. Marathon runners at heart Although many animals can run faster

than humans, we can pride ourselves on being the best long distance runners on the planet. In prehistoric times, humans could chase their prey for days, until it died of exhaustion. Our cousin: top banana What do humans and bananas have in common? At first glance, nothing. However, researchers have found that we share 50 percent of our DNA with this fruit. Multiplying blood vessels Gaining weight and toning muscles have a bigger impact on the body than you might think. In fact, 11km of new blood vessels are created every time a human gains a pound of muscle or fat. Hyper sensitive fingers Our fingers allow us to accomplish a ton of stuff. They are also quite sensitive. The proof: if our fingers were the same size as the Earth, we could feel the difference between a vehicle and a house. The evil in solitude Being alone isn’t just hard on the spirit, it can also be damaging to the body. The “evil in solitude” really exists. Humans are conditioned to not want to live alone and to want to interact with others, just like we are conditioned to avoid physical pain. Lighting up in the dark All humans are bioluminescent, which means they light up in the dark. However, the light we emit is 1,000 times weaker than what the average human eye can detect. Long distances Blood does a lot of travelling inside the body. It covers nearly 20,000 km per day. A brain modelled after the universe The connections between neurons in the human brain are structured similar to those of the universe. It’s as if the brain were modelled after the universe. Way more than five senses One of the first things we learn at school is that we have five senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste. However, there are actually about 15 others, such as balance, pain, time, temperature, and thirst. A golden body All humans have a small amount of gold in their body. Of course, it’s quite minimal, barely 0.2 milligrams. It’s found mainly in the blood. In order to make an 8-gram piece of gold, you would need

the blood of 40,000 people. A brain that loves oxygen The brain isn’t the heaviest part of the body. In fact, it represents just 2 percent of an adult’s total body mass. However, it consumes no less than 20 percent of our daily calorie intake and oxygen.

Some people suffer from synaesthesia. This means they can feel sensations other than those felt by the average person. For instance, some people can “hear” colours and “taste” words. Different types of tears Tears differ according to the emotions

Women see more colours Most people have three types of colour receptors which allow them to see the various colours found in our world. However, there are some women who have four or five receptors which allow them to see an even wider range of colours than anyone else. Despite ‘seeing’ further, telescopes can’t capture as much information as the naked eye. Our eyes are able to recognise no less than 10 million different colours. Tasting words

we that we experience and which then set of the tearful reaction. For instance, the tears we cry when chopping an onion are completely different from those that stream down our faces when we are in mourning. Speedy red blood cells Less than a minute is all it takes for a red blood cell to move throughout the entire human body. Now that’s what you call fast! The fetus-mother relationship We all know the relationship between

a foetus and its mother is incredible. But did you know that a foetus can send its mother stem cells if one of her organs is damaged? Their mission would be to repair the organ and therefore to allow the pregnancy to continue. Anesthetising saliva? Human saliva contains opiorphin. After testing it on rats, researchers found the protein to be three times as effective as morphine. Saliva is essential for taste. Also, did you know that it would be impossible for us to taste something if our saliva couldn’t dissolve it. No muscles? Contrary to what you might think, we don’t have any muscles in our fingers. So how do we control them, you might be wondering? Just by controlling our tendons. Iron man The human body contains not only gold, but also iron. The amount of iron in the human body is actually relatively large. If we could remove all the iron from our bodies, we could make a nail out of it. A lazy sense of smell When we wake up in the morning, not all of our functions and senses turn on at the same time. For instance, our sense of smell is the last thing to wake up. A lot of bacteria The human body contains a lot of bacteria. If we could weigh it all together, it would add up to at least 2kg. Remember that the next time you step on the scales to weigh yourself! A unique odour We all have unique fingerprints. That’s why the police use them to identify criminals. It seems humans also have their own unique odour. There’s just one exception; twins. But it’s unlikely there’ll be a device that can identify a murderer by their body scent anytime soon. Constantly battling cancer Our battle against cancer is much more intense than you might think. Every minute, the human body eliminates approximately 19 potential cancers. Warning: patience required It takes about six months for fingernails to grow and attain maturity. So if you lose a nail, you’ll have to wait half a year for it to grow back completely. Tickling yourself: no can do! Tickling is a great way to get people to laugh. We can tickle others, but it simply doesn’t work on ourselves.

Dear N332 Can you tell me the rules/laws with regards to washing a car on your own property? Regards Mark R Bailey Francisco replies: Mark - You need to ask the Town Hall where you live, because each one have different laws regarding this matter. It is called "Ordenanza Municipal" and it is done by the Mayor and Councillors so no two are alike. Usually you can do it in your property, the problem is when the water comes out of the property and spreads into the road, if a cyclist or a pedestrian slips and falls down due to this water, you will be responsible for damages. It could also be worth it to check if the insurance of your house covers these cases. Dear N332 Several years ago I suffered from heart failure and my driving licence

CostaBlancaPeople July 26th - August 1st 2016

(UK) was withdrawn. I have since made a full recovery and now I am living in Spain permanently. I know there are small cars which can be driven without a licence. What are the requirements for being allowed to drive these cars? Do I need a medical examination/certificate? Do I need to take any form of Spanish driving test? (I held a full UK licence from Feb 1967 to 2000 and I am 75 years old). Regards, Mr A Evans Francisco replies: Mr Evans You are talking about "Mircrocars", in Spain we say that you can drive it without licence because you don’t need licence B, used for cars. You just need a Licence AM for moped because these type of vehicles use a small engine, so for example they can be driven by teenagers with AM licence and all the time for the hard shoulder of the road. Remember that every vehicle with an

www.costablancapeople.com

engine needs to be registered (Logbook, ITV and Insurance) for being driven on public roads, together with a driving licence. It is easy to get an AM Licence, we advise you to go to your nearest Driving School and request information about how to get it. Another thing you could do is to submit a new medical report, and prove to the Department which withdrew your licence that you are fully recovery and ask to get your licence back, with a B licence you can drive microcars, but this step you should do in your country because was there where your licence was withdrawn.

Motorway expansion The Ministry of Public Works has approved the expansion project of the Mediterranean motorway (A-7) to add a third lane on the section between the cities of Elche and Orihuela. This is an area 17 kilometers long and the work has a cost of 81,613,488 euros which is now open to bids. Currently this stretch of highway has a very high traffic density, with an average of 45,000 vehicles a day; five thousand of them are trucks which make it the highest density in the country for heavy traffic. The

previous section, between Elche and Crevillent, was expanded in 2008 with three lanes in each direction. This often causes slow moving traffic as the flow has to be concentrated with all vehicles moving into two lanes from three. In particular this expansion project of the A-7 covers from the bifurcation of the Alicante-Cartagena motorway in Crevillent, to the junction with the CV-870 road to Orihuela. The Ministry also announced that it is already writing the

road expansion project for the next section, which runs between Orihuela and Monteagudo. As for the technical specifications of the project to expand the Mediterranean highway to Orihuela, department sources explained that the type of the expansion section is 3.50 meters, 2.50 meters and 1.60 metres right shoulder. This will speed links to Crevillent-Catral, Albatera-San Isidro, Granja de Rocamora-Cox, N-340 and Orihuela-Benferri Redován.

Jim Speakman Dear Editor I read in your latest paper on page 42 that it is the responsibility of the local council to control pest etc belonging to the council, can you please ask them why they are not maintaining their own council land that they are using to park their waste removal vehicles just located across the road from the new bridge and Aldi location as per the attachment Furthermore, at no point did the council indicate and inform the

urbanisation at Entre golf that these vehicles will be located in this area, several years ago the council stated that they shall plant 1000's of trees which they duly did however, they disappeared within 12 months and replaced by the council vehicles that are parked there overnight, notwithstanding this they park the same vehicles on the roads dangerously on the corner making it a blind corner for oncoming cars etc and it will only be a matter of time before there is an accident I would appreciate your assistance with this urgent matter Regards Steven Barry Dear Editor Pets in Spain Fundraising committee will be holding their Summer Fayre at the Posh Club in La Marina Urbanisation on Thursday 28th July 123pm.

Benicassim success Brit sub docks Following financial problems and dwindling crowds, the Benicassim Festival has been reborn and is a huge success. The 21st edition of the famed event on the Valencia coast attracted 161,000 festivalgoers, thanks to acts such as headliners Muse The International Benicàssim Festival (FIB) appears to have

since the start of the decade, while its promoter, Maraworld, recently ran into financial difficulties and faced bankruptcy. But ever since promoter Melvin Benn took control of Maraworld he has been on a mission to diversify the public the festival attracts, as well as drawing in new sponsors, freeing the company

finally put its troubles behind it. This year’s event, which concluded last weekend, has won the acclaim of both the critics and the public, attracting a total of 161,000 festival-goers, 46,000 of whom were in attendance on the Saturday night to see UK rock group Muse, who were the headliners of the third night of the event. The festival, which has taken place every year in the Valencian seaside town since 1995, has battled diminishing audiences

from the financial problems inherited from past failures. Benn himself described this year as having been ‘incredible’ and he said he was particularly pleased with the new layout of the site, which involves shorter walking distances between the biggest stages as well as areas such as the sponsored J&B South Beach. This year also saw the return of national broadcaster radio 3’s FIB Club tent, which had been particularly missed by Spanish festival-goers.

As for the numbers through the gate, the organisers have reported 35,000 people in attendance on the first night, Thursday, 40,000 on Friday, and as said above, 46,000 on Saturday. As has always traditionally been the case, festival-goers from the United Kingdom and Ireland made up the majority of the public, at 48percent of the total, followed by a larger number of Spaniards than in other years, at 46 percent. The remaining 6 percent was a mix of nationalities, mostly from Europe. The Mayor of Benicàssim, Susana Marqués, said that “FIB 2016 has had an effect that we have not seen for many years in Benicàssim,” and reinforced the idea that the event is the “highest-quality festival in Europe.” Javier Moliner, the head of the province of Castellón, to which Benicàssim belongs, said that he trusted that the problems the festival had faced in previous years are now in the past, adding that festivals in the area are part of the “strategic approach within the tourist policies of Castellón.” The 2017 edition of FIB will take place from 13th July to 16th July, and advance tickets are already on sale from the usual outlets.

found in a cooling pipe near its nuclear reactor, sparking fears that it could leak and contaminate the environment. People in Gibraltar and in southern Spain staged regular protests against the HMS Tireless and it has been the subject of a highprofile direct action campaign by the environmental organisation Greenpeace. Spain’s Prime Minister at the time, Jose Maria Aznar, was criticised at home for not insisting that the submarine be moved back to Britain for repair. The captain of the HMS Tireless at the time, Mike Walker, assumed the post of Commander of British Forces in Gibraltar last week. Britain's defence ministry did not provide details of the damage done to the HMS Ambush, saying only that “this is not a similar situation to the HMS Tireless”. A tiny enclave located on Spain's southern tip, Gibraltar has been a British territory since 1713 and is known to its 30,000 residents as ‘the Rock’. Gibraltar remains a source of British-Spanish tensions, with Madrid long claiming the territory should be returned to Spanish sovereignty.

This gorgeous little girl and her two ginger brothers were left in a box in the doorway of APAH’s Charity Shop. They are beautiful kittens, around 8 weeks old and after such a scary start, deserve to grow up in loving homes.

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

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

Las Ramblas Golf Society

There was yet another Club record score in our first game of the week which was a Change Partners where each player partners another member of the team for 6 holes with the best score of each pair counting towards the teams total. The team of Rod Doel, Joyce McClusky, Pete Dunn and Mike Mahony scored an incredible 94 pts beating the previous record by one point. It was hot and humid for our weekly stableford competition on Wednesday and there was one player whose putter was extremely hot with Marleen Billen scoring an amazing 45 pts. This was 11 pts clear of the second placed player as most of us found scoring difficult with the rough particularly thick at this time of the year. However whilst Marleen had the best game overall the shot of the day came from our President Doug Wright who secured his fourth hole in one on the

long par 3 twelfth hole. This meant Doug took the total content of the 2's Club which was rather unlucky for Geoff Biggerstaff as he was the only player to score a 2 but at least he got a consolatory drink from Doug along with the rest of us at the 19th hole. The top four on the day were as follows: 1st Marleen Billen 45 pts 2nd Dave Pulling 34 pts 3rd Doug Wright 33 pts (c/b) 4th Peter Wickham 33 pts On Friday following a superb lunch for Club members and guests at Portico Mar the previous day we played a 2 ball better ball which was won by the pairing of Brian Townend and Rod Doel with a score of 43 pts. In second place were Pete Dunn and Reg Akehurst with 41 pts. Thanks to Dee Biggerstaff for organising the excellent lunch and to the staff for their excellent service. Mike Chapman

T.M.G.S.@ Villamartin Thirty-six members and guests made their way to this championship course for our 9am start. We were hoping that we would be able to get round before it got too hot but unfortunately for us we had a couple of slow groups in front of us and the round slowed to a snail’s pace of 5 hours! It appears that the marshal on duty that day couldn’t be bothered to speed them up. He drove past them on his buggy without saying anything to them. The course was in good condition for this time of year with a very light sanding of the greens made players think that they were slow when in fact it

didn’t affect them at all. Results for the N.T.P. Competition; Hole 6 and 13 Mick Kennedy, hole 9 Bill Wylie, hole 17 Mr. P. Kay. The “2’s” pot contained €29 and this will be rolled over to next week at Alicante Golf. Best guest this week was Mrs. P. Kerr with 29 pts. Silver category winners; 3rdG. Smith 29 pts. 2nd B.

Cricket: Torrevieja v Pinatar Pinatar Pirates 270 for 7 Torrevieja 148 for 8 Pinatar proved too strong for a spirited Torrevieja side and recorded a comprehensive victory in the latest ECCL Division Two encounter. Pinatar batted first and posted a very challenging 270 for 7 for the home side to chase down. R Singh top scored with 73 before being run out and then he was well supported by his counterparts P Singh and G Singh who scored 52 and 40 respectively. In reply, the home side plugged away gamefully from the first to last ball but they struggled to make of a positive inroad into the required total. They did, however, manage to deny the visitors maximum bowling points as they batted out their overs to record

a score of 148 for 8. C Darwen, the opener, top scored with a fine 64 whilst their were notable contributions from Ciaran Gulchard (18) and Kailash Singh (21) who frustrated the Pinatar bowlers with their dogged resistance. Pinatar finally ended up with 19 points from the game, whilst Torrevieja amassed 5 points. Pinatar (19 points) beat Torrevieja (5 points) by 122 runs Pinatar 270 for 7 (R Singh 73, P Singh 52) Torrevieja 148 for 8 (C Darwen 64, Bittu Singh 4 for 23) Torrevieja’s next home game is 30th July against Levante, 1100 o'clock start.

Tales from the Top Flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

So there we have it. It is official. England have reverted to lumping it to the big man and hoping for the best. Sam Allardyce has been appointed manager of the England national side, finally. Steve Bruce clearly thought it was in the bag, as he resigned as manager of Hull hours before the FA named their man. It was either that or he fancied an emotional reunion with Sunderland. Either way Brucey is the odd one out in this game of musical chairs, as David Moyes bundled his way on to the Stadium of Light stool by the time the music stopped. Would the last person to leave the King Power Stadium be a star and turn off the lights, please? What has N’Golo Kante started? First the diminutive Frenchman did one to London, then the next confirmed departure was, wait for it, no, not him, not him either, but him! Yes, the man credited for all the clever little bargains Leicester have purchased in the last few years. Steve Walsh legged it off to Everton where they feel that copying a mix of Southampton’s and Leicester’s blueprint will lead to Premier League glory. Especially when they plan to throw a bit of good old-fashioned cash at the project too. Ranieri was always said to be “resigned” to losing his chief scout/assistant manager, where many other football fans were caught exclaiming “oh, it’s not THAT Steve Walsh!” Mahrez could well be off this week, though the Algerian was foolish

enough not to include a minimum release fee clause thingy in his most recent contract, meaning Leicester do not have to sell. That said, they probably will at the right price as Mahrez seems to want out. Apparently he has dreams that are not that dissimilar to Monsieur Kante. It would be a shame, as Celtic proved over the weekend that there are some teams out there that have not cottoned on to stopping Riyad cutting in on his left foot, meaning that there could still be goals in him yet. Mark Hughes seems to love a renegade maverick. Cast your mind back to some of his other success stories with players that don’t always seem to put toe to line. Robinho, that went well. All those boys he brought in at QPR, quality signings. Are Shaqiri and Afellay as over rated as many think they might be? I mean, that Stokealona stuff lasted how long, four games? According to the Potters gaffer,

Wins for Torrevieja swimmers this weekend Another busy swimming weekend for Torrevieja swimmers. On Saturday 3 of the clubs team travelled to Benidorm for the XVII Memoria Juan Fuster Zaragoza

Trophy. Race divided into age categories saw Amy Connolly swim first in 50m freestyle and gained a new personal best of 38:39 knocking 3 and a half seconds of her previous time. Then Skye Burns came a close 4th in her 50m freestyle Infantil category (32:56). Zoe Connolly swimming in the last individual race of the day worked hard in her 100m Individual Medley race to knock 2 seconds off her recent PB and winning 3rd place with an added prize of a free ticket to Aqualandia, Benidorm. Well done girls an excellent end to the season. Then Sunday all were back in action, this time sea swimming at Torre de la Horadada. This year the organizers

he has “lodged” bids for West Brom’s Saido Berahino. TFTTF has no idea where he has lodged these bids, but with Berahino’s track record of upsetting the WBA board I can guess where they have been moved to. Saido to Stoke? I find it unlikely, though Spurs seem to have gone awfully quiet on him. Arsene Wenger has had a good look at last season, analysed his current squad and decided that what he really needs to win the Premier League back is a teenage Japanese striker and an England U21 defender from Bolton. He’s only pretending to be interested in Mahrez and he was never really going to sign Higuain! Arsene is in for Rob Holding, and the cash on the table is around £2m. That’ll scare the bejesus out of Jose, that will. Speaking of Jose and therefore Manchester United, Zlatan is moving through his gearbox of instant quotes. Following Eric Cantona’s long personal message to the Swede, welcoming him to Old Trafford but reminding him that the throne of the King is still not vacated even though Cantona has not kicked a ball this millennium, Zlatan made it clear that he has no interest in playing Prince. I was quite tired when I first read this report and genuinely thought for a moment that Zlatan and Eric were duelling on who

should play Prince in the bound to be released soon biopic of the recently deceased singers life. United are still waving £100m big ones under the nose of Juventus, hoping to tempt them to give them Pogba in return. Jurgen Klopp has been attempting to persuade some of his players to leave the club saying “when there is no chance of playing, it makes no sense to stay.” Lucas Leiva, Christian Benteke and Mario Ballotelli were all seen smiling and pointing to their payslips, suggesting that they can think of a few reasons to stay put. Credit to the FA, they are fantastic at

Tough opener for Torry On Saturday evening a makeshift Torry team played their first pre-season friendly against local Segunda side Elche CF. The game was played at the Vicente Garcia stadium in Torrevieja in

few hours training sessions the week prior to the game. Torry had a lot of youngsters and trialists in their squad. They have only signed a few players so far for the new season. These players of

front of a crowd of around 500. The main stand was empty as it has structural defects which the local council will fix but when is another matter. Until this happens there is no cover and all the spectators will have to sit on the open terraces. The grass playing surface was in good condition. Elche CF are of course all full-timers and have been undergoing intensive pre-season training for a few weeks. On the other hand Torry players are part-time and have only just begun a

experience formed the back four in the first half. They were Vicente Boix, Pastor, Abraham and Luis Carlos. In midfield the experienced Martin played in front of the back four. The rest of the team was made up of youngsters who were keen to impress and get signed on. Elche started the game up and running and a good diving save from the new Torry keeper stopped them from going ahead. After 8 minutes Elche got the breakthrough after a

reversed the course making all 4 races swim anti-clockwise around the bay, constantly against the tide and wind. This was the hardest race from the last five years of competitions at this location. Amy made a good swim in the 500m race being placed 9th in the Alevin category with a time of 12:09. Next it was time for the furthest distance race – 1500m. Zoe came in before her other team members being placed 6th in her Alevin category, with a time of 26:40. Shortly followed by Skye, a year younger , but in the same category with a time of 29:00. Next in was Vicki

Connolly in theWomen’s Masters 50+ category. Vicki won 1st place for her category. Teammate Beryl Altabas came in 5th in the same category with a time 36:15. Well done to all – looking forward to the next season starting in September.

multi-tasking. Not content with just hanging around, trying to find someone English that might be up to the job of revolutionising the game they also found the time to come up with the crazy idea that players who demonstrate really bad behaviour on the pitch should get punished for it! Genius. The governing body wants the referees to dish out more red cards to cut out the bad behaviour. Naturally this has been lauded in the social media sphere as it is something that most decent people could do without, the image of Wayne Rooney swearing loudly in the face of the Clatt. However, and entirely more realistically, there will be a few examples in the first round of matches and then normal service will be resumed, mainly to do with the fact that the vast majority of people would rather the officials got the basics right, like giving penalties or offsides correctly rather than faff about with a bit of naughty language. Mind you, my money is firmly on a treble of John Terry, Wayne Rooney and Claudio Ranieri all to be dismissed on the opening day. What do you mean I am stupid, that will never happen? Oh yes, my mistake. There is no way Jose is going to pick Wayne.

Torry youngster was dis-possessed in midfield and the Elche midfielder drove forward. He had his shot on goal blocked but picked up the loose ball and fed it to no11 who drove it beyond the Torry keeper into the far bottom corner of the net. Elche took their feet of the gas and Torry came into the game more but without posing any real threat. Elche were content to keep the ball and make the Torry players work for it. The difference in class was visible and it was a credit to the Torry lads that Elche were only one goal to the good at half-time. Both sides made changes at half-time. From the re-start it was Elche again who seized the initiative. Torry were pressed back and rarely got the ball out of their own half as Elche dominated possession. Torry were forced into a desperate rearguard action and efforts where blocked with all parts of the players anatomy. Torry managed to keep Elche at bay until the 75th minute when the inevitable second goal was scored by Elche through a powerful volley into the corner of the net. Two minutes later Elche added a third with a neat finish following a strong run from one of the Elche forwards. It was game over and in reality had been almost since the word Go. 3 minutes before the end Elche added a fourth. A good run-out for the Torry wannabes. There is another friendly on Saturday against Segunda B Real Murcia again at the Vicente Garcia Stadium. Kick-Off 7.30 pm with a 10€ admission price. Darrylldinho

Chris Froome is a little bit of a machine. Granted, he will never be as likeable as Sir Bradley but what he is achieving on a bike is quite something. Froome notched up his third Tour de France and then worried competitors further by saying he plans to race for at least another six tours. Excellent. If only

ABBEY ANGLING The 9th and penultimate round was fished on the river Segura at Murcia on the 19th July. The bank side vegetation is growing well, especially on the far bank with the reeds and streamers lying on the water giving the fish some cover. When fishing the feeder they need to be cast approx 6inches to a foot from the far bank, the fish are still not responding to the pole and it is still hard going 1st Terry Screen with 11.920kgs fishing the method feeder using bread and corn 2nd Alan Reid with 9.760kgs fishing the method feeder using bread and corn 3rd Dave Hutchinson with 6.720kgs 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

RODS & REELS We fished the 13th and penultimate round of the Summer Series on the El Bosquet Complex on the 20th July. The water here is really fishing well with everyone catching, and all baits producing fish and the pole still dominating the matches.

there was another way that cyclists could beat a clean rider. Any ideas? Lewis Hamilton is a bit machine like too, just with some emotions. He overtook Nico Rosberg right at the start of the Hungarian Grand Prix and never looked back, moving ahead of the German in the championship standings. That’s Hamilton’s third straight win and momentum seems to be firmly in his favour. England are bouncing back from the disappointment of losing the 1st Test

against Pakistan. Stokes and Anderson returned to the team and by the close of play on Sunday night England led by 489. Joe Root scored a magnificent double ton with the captain Alistair Cook registering yet another three figures for his country. Pakistan were skittled for under 200 in their reply, Chris Woakes doing some serious damage late on Saturday night. All eyes will be on Monday and Tuesday as England should, in theory, have at least five sessions to bowl Pakistan out and draw the series level. The IOC are known for being a little bit of a soft touch. Rather than enforcing a blanket ban on all Russian athletes at Rio 2016, the Olympic committee have thrown the individual bucks in the way of the relevant sporting bodies. Within six and a half minutes, the tennis authorities decided that Russian players were

more than welcome to participate in the games, you know, because there have been no high profile Russian tennis players caught doping recently. With golfers dropping out like flies, I can’t imagine any Russian golfers being turned away either. No previously convicted athletes will be allowed to take part, basically saying that “if you have got away with it so far, crack on!” Rio has bigger problems to worry about. The Australians who, let’s be honest, know a thing or two about staying in pretty shoddy hostels all over the world, have looked at their official Olympic quarters and refused to move in. Just imagine how bad they must be! Exposed wiring and blocked toilets were just some of the things not sorted out quickly enough for the liking of the Australian team. Flooding, gas leaks and no lights have also plagued the New Zealand and GB teams in their preliminary test runs of the accommodation. Personally, I’d leave a shocking review on TripAdvisor.
