The “Whatsapp code scam” reaches Vega Baja
They take control of your account and pose as a friend or family member to ask you for money
The Orihuela Local Police have launched an important notice to citizens through their social
networks about a scam that is occurring and spreading rapidly throughout the municipality.
The Local Police warns that if you receive by WhatsApp “a message from one of your contacts asking you for a code or a transfer, be suspicious and do not answer”, otherwise, “hackers can access your phone” and this is where the deception begins. In Orihuela it has claimed several victims who have sent large sums of money believing they were friends or family. The modus operandi of these cybercriminals is that they send a WhatsApp to the victim posing as a friend or family member who explains that their account has been hacked and they need to
please give your number to receive a code and verify it. Once you verify, cybercriminals block your mobile phone while taking control of it and accessing all your contacts and groups. From there they establish conversations in which they ask you for money, for example through Bizum. This scam already circulated at the end of last year in other parts of the country and is now reactivated in this area. The danger is that your account will be stolen, your identity will be stolen to the point that if you try to alert your acquaintances in WhatsApp groups, they will block your message. The dangerous thing about this scam is that it spreads extremely quickly because it jumps from mobile phone to mobile phone and manages to create a huge network of contacts and account control.

The works on the stormwater lamination pond will end in March The mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, the Councilor for Urban Services, Sandra Sánchez, the manager of AGAMED, Jorge Ballesta, the deputy manager, Gemma Cruz, and the Head of Works of AGAMED, Miguel Mazón, visited the expansion works last Thursday of the rainwater lamination pond on the left bank of the N-332 highway, in the Doña Inés urbanization. Some works that began in July 2023, which receives the waters from the rolling pond attached to the Los Mercados site and from the ditch on the east side of the N-332, and which will be fully completed during the next month of March. The pond will have a storage capacity of 14,000 m3 to minimize the flooding episodes suffered by the residents of this area of Torrevieja. In order to minimize flooding in the Doña Inés urbanization and given the magnitude of the flows flowing towards the area where the lamination pond is located, it was considered necessary to expand the existing lamination pond, so that a greater storage capacity (14,000 m3) for water from the existing cross drainage works. In this way, flooding will be minimized in the Doña Inés urbanization and on the N-332 highway. The surface of the projected lamination pond is 4,533 square meters and the average depth is 3.2 meters. The overall execution budget amounts to 570,505 euros (VAT included). For the construction of this hydraulic solution, different tasks have been carried out, which have included clearing and clearing the plot, as well as the necessary excavation and clearing of land. In addition, an access ramp has been formed to the bottom
of the pond and the pipelines of the existing transversal masonry have been extended to the bed of the new pond. Likewise, embankments have been made to crown the pond and coatings have been executed on the slopes using medium-sized breakwater. An access ramp has also been paved and the bed of the pond has been prepared with the formation of preferential paths for the water and the creation of islands and tree pits, delimited by curbs. In addition to these actions, an irrigation network has been installed and planting and gardening tasks are being carried out to improve the aesthetics of the area, as well as benches, pipican, etc. for the enjoyment of the residents of the area. To delimit and protect the area, an ecological fence will be placed on the west side, made up of wooden logs embedded in a concrete base, and a sliding access door will be installed. It is important to highlight that the expansion of the rolling pond has
been carried out in the open and has an approximate maximum excavation depth of 2.50 meters. The storage capacity is approximately 14,000 m3. They have also followed the instructions of the Ministry of Public Works to design the reinforced concrete channels, which will allow correct drainage of the water towards the lowest point of the pond.

Man arrested for robbing the company where he had worked in Daya Nueva
A resident of Almoradí has been apprehended by the Civil Guard for allegedly burglarizing the company where he was previously employed in Daya Nueva. The 50-year-old former worker reportedly conducted last weekend, exploiting the company’s closure and his possession of keys to access the premises. The arrest was made in connection with a burglary and property damage case at the said company. The suspect purportedly utilized a companyowned van to transport the stolen goods, which were subsequently concealed in a rented garage. The investigation, spearheaded by the ROCA Team of the Torrevieja Civil Guard Company, commenced following a complaint from
the manager of a local fruit and vegetable establishment in Daya Nueva regarding the theft of aluminum and copper materials valued at around 2,500 euros. The incident, which occurred on November 4, coincided with the company’s weekend closure, with no signs of forced entry discovered upon inspection. Through meticulous inquiry and evidence gathering, law enforcement managed to trace the perpetrator’s movements from the scene of the crime to the rented garage, where the stolen items were allegedly stashed for later sale. Subsequent inquiries revealed that the individual, in an effort to avoid suspicion, visited the company premises on the day of the theft, fully aware of its weekend vacancy.
Using his own set of company keys and a company vehicle, he purportedly transported the stolen goods to the designated garage. Following the apprehension of the suspect on January 22, it was disclosed that he had been terminated from his employment subsequent to the robbery, which also resulted in property damage. The detainee, facing charges of burglary and property damage, was released pending further proceedings after providing a statement to the Orihuela Court of Guard and Instruction. This incident underscores the vital role played by Civil Guard ROCA Teams in rural areas, particularly in combating thefts targeting agricultural and livestock enterprises.
Robbery at a home in La Aparecida
Three individuals of Moroccan nationality have been apprehended by National Police authorities in La Aparecida, Orihuela district, on suspicion of perpetrating a burglary at a residence and attempting to run over the homeowner during their escape. These suspects, aged between 26 and 35 years old with prior criminal records, are facing charges not only for burglary but also for minor assault and affiliation with a criminal organization. They have been remanded to the
Investigating Court in Orihuela Guard. Upon receiving a notification from their alarm center regarding a power outage at their residence, the homeowners were alerted. Upon investigation, finding no system malfunction or familial involvement, they proceeded to their property to assess the situation. Upon arrival, they encountered an unfamiliar vehicle and observed three individuals exiting their home. Despite the homeowner’s
attempts to intervene, the perpetrators forcibly left the scene, causing minor injuries to the homeowner in the process. It was discovered that the burglars had leisurely consumed narcotics and energy drinks within the residence before absconding with their loot. Following the incident, law enforcement, in conjunction with forensic specialists, initiated an investigation, ultimately resulting in the identification and arrest of the suspects.

Spain is in the process of regulating medicinal cannabis use The Spanish Ministry of Health has initiated the process to authorize the medicinal use of cannabis in the country. Under the direction of Mónica García, the department has initiated a public consultation on the Royal Decree, which will establish the regulations governing the therapeutic use of the plant. Members of the public are encouraged to share their opinions via the ministry’s website. Emphasizing a commitment to evidence-based decisionmaking, the Health department intends to periodically review the legislation to ensure its effectiveness. Flexibility is key, allowing for potential expansion
in the future. The move to regulate cannabis for medicinal purposes addresses a longstanding demand, particularly from cancer patients and others with serious health conditions. Previously, only patients with epilepsy, spasticity, or multiple sclerosis had access to cannabis-based medications. Progress on this front had stagnated in previous legislative sessions, but Minister Mónica García has prioritized advancing the initiative since assuming office. Her objective is to swiftly approve the measure to benefit not only cancer patients but also those with multiple sclerosis, specific types of epilepsy, and individuals experiencing
side effects like nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy, endometriosis, cancer-related pain, and chronic non-cancer pain, including neuropathic pain. A report from a Health department subcommittee in June 2022 supported the use of cannabis extracts or standardized preparations, stipulating that only qualified doctors, both in public and private healthcare settings, would be authorized to prescribe cannabis. The report also recommended that cannabis be dispensed primarily through hospital pharmacies and health centers, with the possibility of distribution through regular pharmacies also being considered.

GBP / EUR UPDATE GBP This week, we saw a string of significant data releases come out of the UK. First, we heard from the Bank of England’s Governor Bailey on Monday, who gave an on monetary policy plans for 2024. Ahead of the growth data released later in the week, Bailey suggested it was not too important if the UK entered a technical recession, saying, “I would not put too much weight on that”. He implied that other metrics were showing more positive signs about the direction of the economy. This was shortly followed by the UK’s latest unemployment data, released Tuesday morning. Forecasts anticipated a slight drop from 4.2% to 4% over the last three months, but unemployment was lower than expected at 3.8%. This sees the UK return to within the range of 3.5-4%, which has generally been the unemployment trend for both 2022 and 2023. January’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation readings were published on Wednesday, with markets expecting another slight increase in headline inflation from 4% to 4.1% ahead of the announcement. However, the figure came in lower than expected at 4%, which was flat from the previous month. Core CPI inflation also fell below market expectations of 5.2%, landing at 5.1%, the same as December’s reading, and inflation fell by 0.6% on a monthly basis. Higher energy prices were the primary contributor to rising inflation, but this was offset by downward trends in furniture, household goods, food, and non-alcoholic beverages. Thursday’s growth data indicated the UK fell into recession in the last quarter of 2023 after the
economy contracted by 0.3% in Q4. This was a more significant contraction than expected, with markets anticipating negative growth of only -0.1%. This means the UK has entered a technical recession, which economists commonly define as two consecutive quarterly contractions. The pound only dropped slightly against the euro and the dollar following the news, which could mean there was an expectation in the market that the UK was heading for a mild recession. Investors increased bets on the Bank of England cutting interest rates, with the expectation now that there will be three or four quarter-point rate cuts in 2024, with a 75% chance the first one will come in June. Today, the UK ended the week on a positive note, with UK Retail Sales numbers posting a healthy recovery, jumping to 3.4%, significantly higher than the 1.5% increase expected and following the -3.2% seen last month. Despite the latest growth data, this could point to a return to growth in 2024. EUR Much less data was released in Europe this week, which meant most of the volatility for the currency pairs involving the euro was mainly driven by the value change of the other currency. The most significant release of the week was the latest growth data for the EU on Wednesday. GDP in Europe remained unchanged at 0.1% for the year-on-year Q4 reading and landed at 0.0% for the quarterly reading.

Torrevieja Hospital incorporates a video-interpretatino service The University Hospital of Torrevieja has incorporated a video-interpretation service in sign language, through a tablet, aimed at people with hearing disabilities. This service is available in most of the public centres of the Regional Ministry of Health. This new service will enable deaf people to communicate effectively with doctors, nurses and other hospital staff through sign language interpreters available in real time via videoconference. The initiative reflects the hospital’s commitment to inclusion and equal access to healthcare for all people, regardless of hearing ability. The implementation of this technology responds to the need to overcome the communication barriers often faced by deaf people in healthcare settings, where clear and accurate communication is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment. The head of Quality at the Torrevieja health department, Jorge López, highlighted the hospital’s commitment “to inclusive, patient-centred healthcare; this improves the quality of care and is of direct benefit to the patient”. “The introduction of this videointerpretation service reinforces
our commitment to ensuring that all people, regardless of their hearing ability, can access the highest quality healthcare,” he added. The video-interpretation service will be available throughout the hospital, from the emergency room to outpatient clinics and inpatient and admission units, giving deaf people the ability to communicate with confidence and understanding with medical professionals at all stages of their care. When a deaf person comes to the hospital, outpatient, inpatient or emergency care area, there is a communication
barrier that the professional can try to reduce by using this procedure. This computerised device has both a tele-interpretation service and a teletranslator service. “Despite the fact that healthcare professionals are very aware of the different needs of the people they attend to and many of them have training in sign language, this is not enough and improvements are needed to guarantee the humanisation of care also for people with hearing disabilities,” adds Jorge López, head of Quality at the Torrevieja health department.

ITV stations in the Vega Baja region strike Patience. Patience is what they ask of users from the Vega Baja Technical Vehicle Inspections . The workers of the ITV stations in the province of Alicante started a strike last week due to the non-compliance with the agreement for the equalization of salaries for all employees of the Valencian Community , since currently, the workers of Alicante are the most affected by receiving a 40% less than those of Valencia or Castellón. The region has fixed stations in Orihuela, Pilar de la Horadada, Redován and Torrevieja, which will carry out a 24-hour strike this 20th and 22nd February. In November 2023, the agreement was ratified that would guarantee equal pay for all ITV workers in the Valencian Community, putting an end to inequality among employees in the province of Alicante. This salary equalization would consist of four years ; In the first year, the entire increase would be assumed by the workers of the province of Alicante, being the most disadvantaged, with effect from June 1, 2023, and in the second, third and fourth year, different increases would be agreed upon until in 2026 all SITVAL workers get paid the same. “This is not the case, the agreement is not being fulfilled and we have not been collecting
what belongs to us for months, so on strike days we will have minimum services,” this is how the inspector of the Orihuela station, Alejandro Marco , has denounced the situation. of the workers before the Radio Orihuela Cadena Ser buses. The minimum services during the day will be 40% set by the labor authority in which only official vehicles such as police cars or ambulances and passenger cars will be served by appointment. For his part, the Orihuela station director , Antonio Vallejo , explained that “after the reversion to a public company, we now find a lot of difference between salaries, even reaching, in some cases, more than 40%.” Vallejo has taken the opportunity to ask for patience and understanding from users since “they hope that the strike does not last too long for the good of all.” ITV Orihuela The Redován ITV workers began the day at its doors with whistles and flags in hand. Federico Torres, personnel delegate and mechanical inspector , has detailed that “what we have been demanding
after a year of the reversal is that the conditions, which have been agreed upon up to two times, be met. At least, same hours, same salary and same working conditions. Likewise, Torres has stressed that “it is not logical that in the same company there is salary discrimination when comparing the ITV of Valencia and Castellón.” ITV Redován Both stations have communicated that, if the amounts demanded by the workers are not paid soon, there will be a strike in all ITV stations in the Valencian Community on February 27. The Minister of Tourism, Nuria Montes, has sent a message of calm and normality in the face of the strikes at the ITV stations in the province, ensuring that “the previous Council signed a misleading agreement with the workers for which it had not requested the necessary reports.” .

Spain is number one in desalinated water The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, visited the Acuamed desalination plant in Torrevieja, Alicante, the largest in Europe, where he underlined the firm commitment of the Executive to guarantee the supply of water to all Spaniards and combat the drought. This Government has been working and will continue to do so, with social and territorial commitment, to guarantee the supply of water for human consumption and for the irrigation of our countryside; with determination and without hiding behind jurisdictional excuses,” said Pedro Sánchez, who has placed water policies as the Executive’s “top priority” to combat the drought. The Chief Executive has highlighted the Government’s firm commitment to confront the drought and ensure water supply around three fundamental principles of action: “Solidarity, planning and science against denialism to confront one of the greatest challenges.” that we have as a country, which is drought and mitigation and adaptation to the effects of climate change. The Head of the Executive has stressed the drought as a common and global problem, which requires solidarity
between regions. “We will collaborate with all those territories and administrations that request it, to guarantee water wherever it is necessary,” highlighted Pedro Sánchez. At the same time, the President of the Government has highlighted planning as a determining factor for the implementation of hydrological plans, with the aim of doubling the capacity for desalination and water reuse in Spain. Science is another of the key principles on which the Government’s action against drought is based. Spain leads Europe in production of desalinated water and is the fourth country in the world in installed capacity, with a daily production of nearly 5 million cubic meters. “The data shows that we are committed to innovation and efficiency to intelligently manage a scarce and valuable resource like water,” said the Chief Executive. Third cycle hydrological planning foresees an investment of 23,000 million euros until 2027 to face drought scenarios, through 6,600 actions that contemplate a mobilization of 5,000 million to modernize up to 700,000 hectares of crops and thus benefit nearly 20,000 farmers.
Specifically, the desalination infrastructures of Alicante, Murcia and Almería contemplate investments worth 813 million euros within these third cycle hydrological plans. This investment effort, added to the 2.2 billion invested since 2018, demonstrates the Government’s fight against the climate emergency. “Denialist speeches irresponsibly deny the consequences of climate change, contrary to science and the interest of the population in general and farmers and ranchers in particular,” the head of the Executive stressed. The expansion of the Acuamed desalination plant in Torrevieja, recently approved by the Council of Ministers , will increase its desalinated water production capacity by 50%; up to 120 cubic hectometers per year, compared to the current 80. The implementation of this desalination plant, the largest in Europe, will open the door to the improvement of aquifers in the affected irrigation areas by allowing the substitution of water resources. Likewise, the implementation of a photovoltaic park will make its facilities more sustainable and will allow the price of desalinated water to be reduced by around 4 cents per cubic meter.

Rojales Pantomime Group The Rojales Pantomime Group recently had another successful year in 2023 with their performance of Snow White and the Seven Christmas Elves at the Capitol Teatro, Rojales. The pantomime centred around the traditional Snow White story with the evil Queen on a mission to kill the beautiful Snow White with a poisoned apple. However, in the Pantomime group´s version, there wasn´t a single dwarf. Instead, they were replaced with seven mischievous Christmas elves which provided much amusement for the audience. The group would like to thank everyone who bought tickets and made it possible for the group to be able to donate to the Alzheimer´s Association and other local charities The cast had so much fun performing for enthusiastic audiences and all involved, including the director, Dee Braiden, the actors,
wardrobe, light and sound, back stage and Front of House worked very hard to bring a polished performance but already preparation is underway for 2024. The 2024 script is ready to go and audition dates are in place. This year, the group brings you a new production with a new Director, Alison Clough and CoDirector, Leigh Humphries. This production, “Dick Wittington” will be performed at the Cardenal Belluga Theatre, San Fulgencio on the 5th, 6th and 7th December. Check the press and our Facebook page, “Rojales Pantomime Group” for updates and ticket availability.

Your tech questions answered by Brian Hoile of the Costa Blanca Technology Help Group, helping over 320 members with their PCs , smartphones and more. Group members can attend meetings in person or online using Zoom or Teams. If you have a question or problem with any household technology needing my help or want to join the Technology Help Group please email Brian at cbtechnology.help@gmail.com. As a group member, you would have access to the group website which contains previous session notes, handouts and access to previous Costa Blanca People published articles. Scan the QR for a reminder of what the Costa Blanca Technology Help Group offers. Meetings at Dilly’s Bar, Av. Castuera, 3, 03184 El Chaparral, Alicante. Group meetings on the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 10:00 to 12:00. The Next meeting is on Wednesday 13th March 2024. You are welcome to attend. “How can I copy all files from my laptop to a new Tablet?” Copying files from your computer to a Tablet can be done in 2 ways. 1) Use Cloud Storage - install the same Cloud Storage on both
devices. Copy the documents you require to Cloud Storage. When uploaded the documents will be available on any device that has the same Cloud Storage installed and registered to you. You can either leave the files that you copied in the Cloud Storage, or you can copy them to the new Tablet. 2) Use a USB Memory stick - copy documents to a USB Memory Stick. Connect the Memory Stick to the new device using a suitable USB adaptor and transfer the files to internal storage or an SD card, if fitted, on the new Tablet. “How should I store my passwords?” I suggest using a small hardback booklet to store your passwords. On previous home visits, I have seen all sorts of bad practices ranging from passwords on scraps of paper to using the same password for everything. If a hacker gets hold of a password, then they potentially have access to all of your online content if you use the same password for everything. How do I make sure my password is safe? Password security starts with
creating a strong password. A strong password is: At least 12 characters long but 14 or more is better. A combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. “What happens if I exceed the maximum amount of OneDrive Cloud Storage?” Accounts such as an outlook. com, hotmail.com, live.com, or msn.com account, are managed by Microsoft, and therefore already considered Microsoft accounts. This means any changes you make to these accounts automatically carry through all Microsoft services such as XBox, Skype, or OneDrive. What happens if you exceed your OneDrive storage quota? If you exceed your Microsoft storage: You won’t be able to upload, edit, or sync new files (such as Camera Roll) to your OneDrive. Your existing files will remain but will be read-only. You will not be able to send or receive email in Outlook.com, Hotmail, or Live even if you have not exceeded your email storage quota. Brian Hoile Technology Help Group

MABS fundraising event
When we are most in need of help there are some hidden angels who come to our side, and that is genuinely how we feel about the volunteers who work for MABS association. Many of them travel considerable distances to offer warmth, compassion and basic human care to sufferers of cancer throughout the Vega Baja area and beyond. In gratitude and recognition of the work, and to help them continue, some residents of Jacarilla have decided to organise a fund-raising event at Butterflies Cafetería on 22nd March from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be a bumper raffle with some great donated prizes including money vouchers for big stores and we would like to invite your readers to come along, enjoy the company and good-will. The photo shows just some of the prizes. Money donations and prizes can be taken to Butterflies Cafetería from Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and they can also be found on Facebook.

This last week at Hotel Algorfa we’ve hit a milestone in our renovations project. The famous leaking, retractable, worn out roof has been taken off and is now undergoing a transformation as Platinum™ have begun taking off the old plastic sheets that have been worn down from years of neglect, storms and hailstones and prepare to replace them with new transparent sheets. This in turn will brighten up the courtyard and enhance the refurbishments they’re making around the pool. The Truscott family are delighted too see
CostaBlancaPeople 20th - 26th February 2024
that the renovation project is finally starting to take shape and become more noticeable by the public. For the last year, all the renovations have been hidden behind doors as the team opened up the rooms and suites around the hotel, but with the focus now shifting to communal areas, the refurbishments are now a talking point amongst the community. If you haven’t already visited the hotel, why not treat someone special to a night of entertainment followed by an overnight stay in one of the
newly modernised suites, overlooking the beautiful mountains of Orihuela. Ticket prices vary between €5.00€10.00 and the hotel offers top quality acts, tributes and entertainers. Some of these ticketed events even include your first drink free! You can then stay the evening for less than the price of a taxi, meaning nobody has the responsibility of the drive home! For all enquiries, call us on 966 729 707, email reservations@ hotelalgorfa.es or come in and see a member of the team.

When you hear “Do you have a skincare routine?” most of us think arrgh where do I start... here at Indiana’s Hair & Lash Boutique we want to swap that arrgh to a WOW I can create a simple routine at home to combine with my monthly facials and start the journey to improve my skin. This week we look at product BFF’s so you can achieve your goal of flawless skin . Read on to find out ingredient combinations that will work magic on your skin. Niacinamide & Salicylic Acid Both ingredients have similar characteristics and benefits but they work in different ways. Thus, combining
them solves a wide range of skin problems : Reduces pore size Fights ageing signs Helps fight acne Retinol & Hyaluronic acid Retinol speeds up the cellular turnover of your skin and stimulates collagen production. Hyaluronic acid works as a hydrating agent and draws the water into your skin cell to make your skin plump. This is one of the best combinations for healthy skin Niacinamide & Vitamin C Vitamin C has great potential and benefits in varied ways, such
CostaBlancaPeople 20th - 26th February 2024
as anti-ageing, acne scars and skin pigmentation. Niacinamide hydrates the skin and makes it supple. According to skin experts, the combination of niacinamide and vitamin c is safe and extremely effective. But every skin is unique, and this combination may not suit everyone. People with sensitive skin may feel some mild irritation. This combination is great for skin brightening and anti ageing. Retinol & Niacinamide Retinol initiates your skin cell turnover and boosts collagen production. It also repairs your sun-damaged skin. Retinol works on skin pigmentation as well. Niacinamide controls water loss and
improves your skin barrier function. That’s how the combination stabilizes your skin condition and provides you with healthy skin. Retinol tends to dry out your skin when used alone. That’s why it is always suggested to use retinol along with a hydrating agent, and Niacinamide helps enhance benefits. Green Tea & Caffeine Antioxidants are essential for good skin. Green tea has anti-inflammatory properties and is rich in antioxidants. Caffeine is antioxidant-rich and photoprotective, which means it offers protection against UV radiation. The combination of these two

ingredients guards your skin against free radicals and skin cancer caused by UV rays and improves skin texture and hydration These combinations have the potential of treating a large number of skin problems, Don’t forget SPF is everyone’s BFF so MUST be included with every combination.

I am furious with my three brothers, sister and their partners, for not helping out when I asked them to share care for our mother; I emailed them a rota but the care has been left to me. My father and youngest brother live with mum, but they don’t help out. My eldest brother said he can visit and arrange for care in the home, but got cross with me and told me to stop running his life. My second eldest brother is unemployed, but he said they are busy looking after his wife’s parents who are ailing. Our father does not want mum to go into residential care. I like to look at both sides of problems, and today I am going to say something that you may not want to hear; that I don’t necessarily disagree with your siblings in telling you that they cannot provide physical help. You tell me that although your father is fit, he rings you when your mother has fallen, while he can go to the pub. You are able to help because you do not have to work, and your time is at your disposal. Why can’t your other brother help when he lives with your parents, and does not work? Your other siblings have demanding jobs with some living more than an hour away; however, they have all said they want to help financially. You should all get together, including your father and the brother who lives at home, and discuss matters together. No one should bear the entire burden any more than another. To stop blame and animosity, it would be best to bring in professional carers WRITE TO SARA IN CONFIDENCE. A PSEUDONYM WILL BE USED IF YOU WISH. SARA READS ALL LETTERS AND CAN GIVE A PERSONAL REPLY.

Shining a light on the amazing work of the Guardamar Rotary Club Francisco Jurado was named President of the Guardamar Rotary Club in July 2023. He and his team are currently working on their first big event of 2024 – their annual Classic Car Rally, which will take place on the 23rd of March in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento Guardamar. Fransico Jurado has been involved with the Rotary Club for over nine years and this is his second time stepping up to take on the role as President. He will be acting as President until the 30th of June this year, where he will be leading the club, managing the annual events, training sessions and community actions. He has already been at the helm of the World Polio Day fundraising and a charity golf tournament last year. ‘It was wonderful to be part of the successful golf tournament in December’ comments Jurado. ‘We raised over 2,000€ for End Polio Now, as well as raising awareness of the disease, and further funds from World Polio Day in October. We are now working on a mentorship, training and work experience programme for the IES Les Dunes students and on organizing the classic car rally in March.’ Service Above Self Francisco is very proud to be a Rotarian, as well the store director of three Specsavers Ópticas branches, in Guardamar, Torrevieja and La Zenia.
He explains, ‘I strongly believe in the motto ‘Service Above Self’ and the importance of helping our community. Being a Rotarian is the best way to offer my experience, time, and energy back into my community and support the people in our area who really need help. I feel like the Guardamar Rotary Club is a family where you can really enjoy taking part in these important actions with your friends.’ Guardamar’s Rotary Club raises funds for a number of local charities, as well as supporting and developing initiatives which are positive for the community. They regularly support the Red Cross, IES Les Dunes secondary school in Guardamar, the local food bank and Cáritas. They fundraise through events and collections in association with local businesses. For example, Specsavers Ópticas collects funds in all three of Francisco’s stores, sponsors the events, and the team helps out at the events as well. ‘It’s very important to me that my business can also support the Rotary Club through fundraising and practical support. Specsavers is committed to playing a positive role in the communities where they operate, and this is a great way to do that. It is also a positive experience for my staff to help the charity through fundraising and at events, offering opportunities to develop their skills and confidence
and come together as a team for a great cause.’
What’s happening in 2024 On the 23rd of March the Rotary Club Guardamar del Segura and the Guardamar Town Hall are holding their 12th Classic Car Show. Taking place at the Plaza del Ayuntamiento Guardamar, visitors can enjoy the sight of over 100 classic cars and motorbikes in one place, as well as live music, dance performances and an enormous paella. Follow them on Facebook @rotary. guardamar for more information as it is announced. They are also working hard on a new project to support students at the IES Les Dunes high school in Guardamar through training and professional development. This will make it easier for the students to find jobs when they leave school. Francisco explains, ‘We know that one of the biggest concerns of the young people in our community is finding jobs. So, we are launching a mentorship programme for students who are completing their vocational training programmes in hospitality, catering, administration and gardening. We will be arranging talks by local business owners and employers in the school to motivate them and offer practical advice to help them prepare for entering the workplace. We will
be creating a Rotary Guardamar Achievement Award, to celebrate the best pupil at the school. Finally, we are in the process of finding internship opportunities to help them gain work experience.’ If any local business owner or entrepreneur would like to give a talk, or offer internships for these students,
please contact the Rotary Club by emailing rotaryguardamar2203@gmail. com. Donations for the Rotary Club can be dropped into the three Specsavers Ópticas stores that Francisco owns, in Guardamar, Torrevieja and La Zenia. Find your nearest store at www. specsavers.es
Information on electric charging points Drivers will receive the information through their browsers and mobility applications, having all the details available for use. The electric charging service providers are responsible for electronically sending all updated information to the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge through an application that has been integrated with DGT for updating. From last Saturday, complete information on electric charging points for vehicles is available at the National Access Point , which navigators and the different existing mobility applications will be able to make available to users in real time. This is a supranational obligation since the European Union, in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/962 of December 18, 2014, established the necessary specifications to ensure the accessibility, exchange, reuse and updating of road and traffic data by road authorities, road infrastructure operators and service providers for the provision of real-time traffic information services across the EU.

To articulate the supply of all this information, Order TED/445/2023, of April 28, regulates both the content and the form of submission of the information to the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge by the companies of provision of electric charging services, whether they are operators of public access charging points or companies that provide electric mobility services. The publication of the charging points for electric vehicles will be done in DATEX II format, the European standard for the exchange of traffic information, which will allow the integration of this information in third-party applications. In this way, drivers will be able to consult the facilities that have electric
charging points, highlighting the following information for each facility: • Location (address and geographic coordinates). • Opening hours • Types of services available: hotel, restaurant, cafeteria, supermarket... • If it has accessibility measures. • Supported payment methods. • Number of charging points and connectors available.

Date for the “Ciudad De Torrevieja” half marathon announced The Councillor for Sports of the City of Torrevieja, Diana Box Alonso, along with the president of Club Atletismo Torrevieja, José Manuel Pizana, and Luis Manuel Corchete, technical director of the test, have unveiled the technical details of the Half Marathon and 5K Torrevieja to be held on Sunday, February 25, through the streets of Torrevieja. As a novelty this year highlights the economic prize Record of the Test, endowed with 300m euros. The start and finish will be in the Paseo de La Libertad and is expected a participation of about 1,500 runners, registered between both tests, and has a circuit approved by the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation (RFEA) and included in the national calendar and, for the second time, will have categories for people with functional diversity

Abbey Anglers On Tuesday the 13th of February we fished the 7th round of the Abbey Angling cup at the El Bosquet complex. The previous days rain made conditions under foot slightly slippy and it was decided that we would fish pegs A1 to 7 and the out of form pegs 26 to 40. The match was fished in sunny conditions throughout with temperatures in the mid twenties. Overall this was a very close match, pegs 26 to 40 did return to some sort of form and the twenty anglers taking part averaged nearly 6kg each. Winner on the day and continuing his rich vein of form was the Belgium raider, Jeanne Pierre Van Der Cruyssen, JP to his mates . Drawn on the hotly fancied peg 26 he caught on the pole
and feeder with maggots or corn for 11.96kg. In second place was Barry Homer . Barry fished maggots on the pole from peg 1 and had some decent sized carp for 10.70kg. In third place was Bill Reade. Bill also continued with his good form and fished the bomb with maggots on peg 40 and weighed 10.16kg. Neil McBernie had a bit of a nightmare on peg B1 and could only manage 12th in the match. With Bill Reade, JP and Russell Davidson all performing well, this means that although Neil retains his place at the top of the Abbey angling cup the gap has been closed and its all to play for over with three rounds to go. Rods N Reels The following day 10 anglers
attended and they fished pegs A1 to 7 and 8 to 16 . It fare to say that when we spread out not only on this venue but on any for that matter then the weights improve. This was in fact the case with the top three weights all in the 19kgs. Making yet another comeback after several weeks on the sidelines with illness which has hopefully now been sorted was Rod Stewart, sorry I mean Steve Higgins. Steve was drawn on peg 3 and he really but his new pacemaker to the test, catching carp steadily on the pole with maggots for a great weight of 19.64kg In second place was the every consistent Harry Billing who used similar tactics from peg 7 for 19.44kg. Taking third spot was John “ I can´t draw for toffee” Waples who from peg
13 had what he must have thought was a winning weight of 19.12kg.
