wo towers of 82 metres high are being proposed for a front line position just off Acequión beach. The ‘Torres Sinforosa’ would be situated on the first line of the coast and it will be down to Torrevieja town council to approve or reject the application. The planning application no longer has to receive authorisation at other levels due to a modification of the Valencian urban legislation that allows a more straightforward, fast track procedure. The application states that the two towers, located between Gregorio Marañon and Doña Sinforosa park will be 26 floors high and have 760 metres as their base. Fifty percent of the accommodation is planned to be used as a threestar hotel. The promoter of the towers is Baraka and they argue that there will be no environmental problem as a result of their construction. They claim that this will not affect the Acequión water channel which supplies the salt lake. Concerns have been raised about the impact they could have on one of Torrevieja’s oldest parts of the town and on the scenic impact on the bay and its beach. The application has been drafted by the lawyers, Sánchez Butrón and the architect Jesús Madrid Quesada and can be seen on the municipal website. The company intends to invest 100 million euros in the project. Allegedly, the publication of the plans on the

It is believed that the current local government are not in favour of schemes such as this but they are required to process the application. Suzanne O’Connell

BITE SIZE Young bather rescued NEWS: by Guardia Civil Councilllor Carmen Morate announced that on the 24th June there will be an opportunity to see the range of charities in Torrevieja and find out more about volunteering and contributing in other ways. The charity fair is organised by the town hall along with all those organisations who want to take part. The fair will take place from 6pm until 9pm and on this occasion will be located in Plaza Encarnación Puchol in La Mata. Participation is free and there is no registration deadline. There will also be entertainment provided by La Mata including a taekwondo exhibition and QK Academy.

On the 8th June officers of the Guardia Civil rescued two bathers who were trapped by waves in a cove in Torrevieja. The two young men, one 18 years old and one 20, had decided to take a dip in Cala de los Trabajos not taking account of the poor sea conditions. As a result of the waves and wind in this area of rocks they put themselves in danger.

Another police officer went into the water to try and help his colleague and the young bather reach land. Fortunately, both young men were brought to safety.

Postman sentenced The Torrevieja postman who was found guilty of not delivering post in the town has been sentenced to one year in prison. The post office worker failed to deliver 226 letters and packages between 2011 and 2014. The decision was made by a court in Alicante on Thursday 8th June and the worker was also fined €900and disqualified from being employed as a postman for four and a half years. The sentence has been suspended on the understanding that he does not commit another offence for the next three years. The majority of the undelivered mail was from electricity companies, official communications and from banks. The man hid many of the letters in his locker and when he was asked to open it he

One of them, realising he was having difficulty getting out of the sea on his own, managed to climb onto a rock where he was helped to safety by the police. The other continued in the water without being able to climb out. At this point, a young man who was with them and watching from land realised they were in trouble and went to Los Locos beach to ask for assistance. When their friend returned there were already several Guardia Civil officers in attendance both on the rocks and in the

scene and first aiders attended to those involved who suffered minor cuts and bruises from hitting the rocks around the cove. Fatalities have occurred here before and it is a reminder about the dangers of taking a dip in areas without lifeguards particularly when the conditions are not ideal. This is a popular part of the coast amongst young people who like to jump off the rocks here. They are not prohibited from doing so but neither is there any lifeguard service for if things go wrong.

Volunteers’ life-saving course Over the weekend of the 10th and 11th June the volunteers of Protección Civil took part in an intensive life-saving course. The 24 hour course included theory and a practical element which was carried out in the sea. It also included two hours of practical night rescue at sea. Twenty volunteers from Protección Civil in Torrevieja, Orihuela and Pilar de la Horadad took part and the course was delivered by a well-qualified teacher. Councillor Manzanares explained that the course had been provided free of charge by the organisation IVASPE (Instituto Valenciano de Seguridad Pública y Emergencias). A new element of the training included information about the risk from sea life. This specifically included the risks from jellyfish and toxic algae. Volunteers were taught how they should react to harmless species that imitate more harmful species and protected sealife such as sea turtles. The theoretical part of the course took place in the Real Club Náutico.

Awards for Torrevieja businesses Thirty local businesses and services have been awarded the prestigious SICTED awards, recognising their contribution to local tourism. The award of Sistema Integral de Calidad Turistica en Destinos (SICTED) is a quality improvement project for tourist destinations. Companies are offered, free of charge, training plans, workshops and work teams to help develop improvements. The process concludes with the achievement of an award. Those gaining the award include five hotels, 10 businesses, the water park Aquópolis, three restaurants (Nautilus, Pizzeria no. 1 and El Muelle), three sports clubs (Real Club Náutico, Marina Internacional and Marina Salinas), four beaches (Náufragos, Cala Piteras, playa del Cura and Cabo Cervera), the natural park of La Mata, the tourist information office and the Local Police.

N332 widening still on hold The Alicante Ministry of Public Works has sent a letter to the mayor of Torrevieja, Continued on page 6

As the Costa Blanca People went to press Theresa May (below) was due to face tough questions on Monday afternoon from her backbenchers after the Conservatives lost their majority at last week's election. The Conservatives lost their House of Commons majority in Thursday's snap election, going from 331 seats to 318, while Labour increased its number of MPs from 232 to 262. The MPs are expected to raise concerns about her leadership style, and press for more details on talks with the Democratic Unionists. Mrs May's new cabinet will also meet for the first time

committee, said that there was ‘zero appetite’ among the public for another election. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has accused Mrs May of ‘squatting’ in No 10, telling the BBC's Andrew Marr Show on Sunday that the country “cannot go on with a period of great instability”. A number of high-profile members kept their posts in Sunday's cabinet reshuffle, with Philip Hammond staying at the Treasury, Boris Johnson remaining at the Foreign Office and Amber Rudd keeping the Home Office brief. But some changed jobs too, with Liz Truss being

: “It is inconceivable she will lead the party into the next election. Her authority has been diminished unquestionably.” after a reshuffle. Brexit Secretary David Davis predicted some parts of the Tory manifesto would now have to be ‘pruned’. “We have been given an instruction by the British people,” he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Mr Davis said that while the Tory election campaign had been disappointing, Mrs May was a ‘formidable prime minister’ and accused people speculating about her leadership of ‘the absolute height of selfindulgence’. The meeting of the 1922 Committee of backbench Tory MPs comes after the PM finalised her cabinet, with Michael Gove returning as environment secretary. Mr Gove, a former Cabinet minister and leadership rival to Mrs May before she became Conservative leader, was sacked by the PM in her reshuffle in July last year. The meeting with the committee had been brought forward by 24 hours, not because of panic within the party, but possibly as a way of avoiding it. One MP said: “The wise heads will need to tell any hotheads to calm down.” Graham Brady, the leader of the 1922

demoted from justice secretary to become chief secretary to the Treasury. Damian Green, who was work and pensions secretary, has been promoted to become the first secretary of state - effectively Mrs May's second in command. Widespread demands for Mrs May to go were not expected at the 1922 committee meeting. Instead, it was predicted that there will be demands for her to consult more, including meeting regularly with the 1922 executive, and to turn Downing Street from a bunker into an open house by broadening her range of staff. However, few MPs expect her position to be strong and stable for the next five years. One senior backbencher said: “It is inconceivable she will lead the party into the next election. Her authority has been diminished unquestionably.” Another said: “She has bought herself some time, but how she behaves will determine how long she's there.” There is a feeling that the party is holding on to nurse for fear of something worse.

José Manuel Dolón, in which he reiterates that his hands are tied when it comes to approving and financing the widening of the N332 into a dual carriageway around Torrevieja. It is claimed that a final construction project is needed from the regional government for the project to go ahead. The project was initially agreed between the three administrations of Torrevieja, Alicante Province and the regional Valencian government over a decade ago. Torrevieja was to put forward the land, Valencia the project and Alicante the funding. Since then, however, lack of action has meant that the project is no longer up-to-date in terms of the current road regulations and must be reviewed. It’s also claimed that the amount of land needed is also short of requirements. In the meantime we can anticipate another summer with severe traffic jams and possibly fatal accidents.

Grant applications for sports events Sports clubs or associations who are registered in Torrevieja have opportunity to apply for a €30,000 subsidy to help them stage sporting events. From June 11th until June 28th clubs can bid for the money which can be used by non-profit sports organisations to support sports competitions as well as non-competitive physical-sport activities. ‘It doesn’t matter what age group it is,’ explained councillor for sports, Victor Ferrández, ‘we want to see support for these groups increasing in the town.’ The purpose of the grant is to increase participation in sport and raise awareness of healthy living habits as well as promoting the town more widely. Eligible expenses include equipment rental e.g. for music, advertising expenses, sports equipment, trophies, medals and plaques. Expenses can also be claimed by personnel where they have been involved in the development of the activity. More information about applying for these grants is included in the Boletín Oficial de la Provincia. Suzanne O’Connell

Shock on Ryanair Ibiza flight as couple go ‘mile high’ Passengers were left shocked and bemused after a couple had sex in plain view on a Ryanair flight from Manchester to Ibiza this week. The couple’s antics were recorded by fellow passengers and video footage has since gone viral. The incident occurred about an hour into the flight, which departed Manchester at 8.20pm. Passengers remarked that the couple were obviously drunk and at one stage, the man was heard to shout ‘Anyone got a jelly?’, meaning a condom. Without heading to the bathroom, the traditional stomping ground of the ‘mile

high club’, the couple got down to business right there in the seat as passengers looked on. A woman who was sitting next to the couple repeatedly asked to be moved, but passengers told the press that the crew did not move the woman, nor did they reprimand the couple for their inappropriate behaviour. According to SF Gate, one traveller, Kieran Williams, 21, said: "They seemed so drunk, they brought a lot of attention to themselves. "You could see the girl taking off her pants and he pulled his trousers off." He said he had heard the

couple talking about doing it, but thought they were joking. The Daily Mail reported that Williams added: "A woman was sat next to them and she stood up and asked if she could be moved. About twenty minutes after it happened, someone complained about it. But the crew did nothing.' A Ryanair spokesperson told the press: "We are looking into this matter. We will not tolerate unruly, disruptive or inappropriate behaviour at any time and any passengers who appear to behave in an unacceptable manner may be liable for further sanctions."

Campaign against truancy in Torrevieja Torrevieja town hall wants to lower the rate of truancy in schools in Torrevieja. The mayor, José Manuel Dolón expressed his concern at the current level at a meeting at IES mediterráneo (secondary school) where he met with representatives of all those involved in the initiative. This is the first time that an official protocol has been launched to deal with what is a big problem in the town. The councillor for education, José Hurtado, recognised that Torrevieja has very specific difficulties when it comes to keeping pupils in class. These are related to the seasonal type of work on offer here as a tourist town. The multi-ethnic nature of Torrevieja also presents its own difficulties with different cultures having different expectations, religious requirements and traditions. The protocol will include clear stages for intervention if a pupil is beginning to lose time from school. There will also be investigation if once the protocol has been applied, an institution still has difficulties. The commission that has been

brought together to tackle the problem will continue to meet on the last Tuesday of every month with the first meeting being the 26th September. A key

Another market bus planned Although the move to the market seems to have worked well in general, if there has been one cause for complaint it’s been the transport. With the new location being further out of town, having good bus access is very important. Originally one new bus route with one bus was created. Another bus was then added and now this has been increased to three on the dedicated market bus route, Line H. In addition there is going to be an adjustment to bus route C in order to reduce the volume of people. Councillor for transport and markets, Javier Manzanares, announced the increase in service on Wednesday 7th June. He had met with transport officials, Costa Azul and others and took the decision to increase the number of buses. ‘Along with this increase,’ said Councillor Manzanares. ‘We are also modifying the route to take in two new bus stops on Line C. The aim is to reduce the congestion on this line and give more options to users with more stops and greater frequency.’ The new line follows the route past the Fontana Hotel, Calle Patricio Zamit, Estación de Autobuses and Calle Apolo (BP petrol station). The first bus leaves at 8am. On the return journey the bus leaves from the market, stops at Apolo Street (Hotel Juan Carlos), Avenida de Diego Ramírez and finally at the Eras de la Sal interchange. ‘There has been a huge demand for this service,’ explains Councillor Manzanares. ‘More than 1,100 people used Line H last Friday to go to the market and we have to add to that all those who used Line C for the same reason. The market staff, those responsible for transport and myself are listening to users and are trying to improve every aspect of the market and

transportation.’ The advice is that if you are travelling to the market and have the choice of the two bus routes, C and H, that you take line H so that those who have no option but to use Line C do not have so much difficulty. Line C is the only route for those living in La Mata, Torreblanca, Avenida de Baleares or Avenida de La Mancha. An other area for improvement at the market is the signage. They are going to mark out 100 new car parking spots so that the number of allocated places is around 1,000 altogether. Suzanne O’Connell

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE Most of the economic data from the €Z were better than forecast. Privately-held companies in the services sector reported increased activity. Retail sales were up by 2.5% on the year. Investor confidence improved. First quarter growth in Euroland was revised up to 0.6%, three times that of Britain. The only real cloud was the European Central Bank. It marked down its forecast for inflation, implying that there would be no rush by the Governing Council to tighten monetary policy.

Sterling toddled along quite comfortably until Thursday night. There were no UK ecostats to hurt it and investors grew increasingly confident that the general election would deliver the result predicted by most opinion pollsters; a working majority for the Conservatives. It didn't, of course, and sterling tumbled when the exit polls were revealed. The euro is up by 0.8% on the week against sterling and unchanged against the US dollar.

Repsol finds enough gas to fuel Spain for two years Spanish fuel giant Repsol has uncovered a source of gas large enough to supply the whole of Spain for two years – its biggest discovery since 2012 when it struck liquid gold in the Sagari oil field in Perú. This time, the two billion cubic feet (TCF) of gas has been discovered at Repsol’s platform in Trinidad and Tobago, and is the largest found in the country in more than a decade. Repsol has found two gas wells, named Savannah and Macadamia, as part of its ongoing exploitation from the offshore rig in Trinidad and Tobago. The company owns a 30 percent holding in the main fuel consortium, bpTT, whilst the remaining 70

percent belongs to BP. The fuel source is even greater than Repsol's last major find in Perú when, working alongside Brazilian petroleum company Petrobras, it found somewhere between one and two TCF. Trinidad and Tobago is one of the most oil-rich production countries in the world after the USA, where Repsol also found a major source in March. They found the fossil fuel wells in Alaska, where it works in partnership with Armstrong Energy. With the latest find, Repsol has uncovered 47 sources of hydrocarburates in the last 10 years, including eight of the world’s largest.

The dique still unfinished The ‘dique’ that most people are aware of in Torrevieja is that of the Dique de Levante which extends from the front of Torrevieja and past the flea market and feria. Many people are unaware that there is another ‘dique’, dike or promenade in Torrevieja. Between the beaches of Los Náufragos and Acequión is the Dique de Poniente. Work on this dique began in 2014 when Acuamed agreed to put it in place as part of their desalination programme. The idea was that as compensation for building the desalination plant, Acuamed should also commit to additional improvement works in the area. Some of these commitments were fulfilled. However, the dique, which runs parallel to the track taking salt out to the boats, has never been finished. Lack of completion has not prevented people from

However, without any official explanation, the work stopped several months after starting and has not begun again since, other than to complete the pavement. No work has been carried out there now for more than two years. With about 700 metres of accessible walkway people are putting this to good use even though officially it is not open to the public. It’s also being used by fishermen and swimmers, but at their own risk. With access barriers removed or eroded, people can access the dique as far as the lighthouse. Young people have been seen using the far end of the dique as a platform from which to jump into the sea. The only work that was finished as part of the compensation plans was the renovation of San Roque which was carried out by Acciona. The desalination plant is still only working to 30%

using it, however. As barricades have fallen into disrepair, so more and more people ignore them and walk along the paseo that is in place to enjoy the sea views. The only area that remains sealed off is that around the salt conveyer belt itself. The actual works were being carried out by the Becsa company who had an original brief of five months to complete the work which was estimated to cost just less than a million euros. The idea was to adapt the existing dique for pedestrians, install pergolas, lighting, some landscaping and benches.

capacity at a total cost of 300 million euros and only provides water of sufficient quality to be used for agricultural purposes and at high cost. The plant has been under judicial investigation and arrests were made amongst leading figures. The police and court intervention has likely affected the viability of the works taking place. Local people may be making use of the unfinished dique, but what everyone would like to know is when, if ever, will it be completed? Suzanne O’Connell

Citrus trees are great in the garden. They look fabulous, have beautiful sweet smelling flowers, and provide wonderful fruit. And the good news is there are citrus for even the smallest garden or terrace. Try dwarf citrus trees if you are short on space. You can grow them in large pots, and even though they are small, dwarf citrus trees can produce a very reasonable harvest. Citrus trees are from the Rutaceae family and are common in gardens all over Spain. They form small, compact evergreen trees, are usually slow growing and have a shallow root system. The best thing about citrus is that they are fairly easy to grow and need little pruning. All varieties ripen slowly and fruit can be stored on the tree to be harvested over months. Remember that citrus love a hot sunny spot and plenty of water. If you are planting them in a pot, use good quality potting mix and feed regularly. Watch for pests and diseases because they can be prone to sucking insects and citrus leaf miner. But aside from these problems, they make the perfect tree for a small garden, terrace or balcony.

Planting: Dig a large hole, remove the tree from its pot and remove any burlap around the roots. Place the tree on a mound of soil. Add or remove soil underneath to adjust the height so that the crown (the transition from trunk to roots) is slightly above it. This will allow for some settling and ensure water drains away from the trunk. Fill in the remaining hole with a mixture of compost or potting soil and the soil from your garden. Citrus trees like a rich well-draining soil. If you are planting a dwarf citrus in a pot, use straight potting soil and fill it in to a similar level. However, do not fill the pot to the edge. Leave some room at the top to allow space to water thoroughly. Place the pot up on blocks and be sure there are plenty of drainage holes in the bottom. Do not let the pot sit directly in a saucer or puddle of water.

Water: For sweet juicy fruit citrus trees need sufficient water in the dry season. Water them thoroughly 2-3 times a week. If in doubt if your tree is getting enough water, use common sense and feel the leaves. If they feel cool and thick, the tree is fine, but if they feel dry and leathery, the tree probably needs a drink.

Fertilizer: Fertilize the tree with an appropriate fertilizer. Fertilizers are available in special citrus or citrus-andavocado formulations. Apply them according to package instructions, typically three to four times a year for slowrelease types. If your citrus tree has yellow leaves, with darker, green veins, this indicates an iron deficiency commonly known as chlorosis. It is particularly common in alkaline soils. Treat this with iron chelates (Quelatos de hierro). Mix and apply it according to the packet instructions, as it can either be sprayed on as a foliage feed or watered into the soil around the treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s root zone. In warm weather you should see a difference in less than a week.

Pruning: Prune citrus trees occasionally. They do not require heavy or regular pruning. Also remove any "suckers", or shoots growing from the root stock and any "wild" shoots growing beyond the general shape of the tree. These will often be long, straight, quick-growing branches that do not follow the overall form or shape of the tree. Moderately thin the foliage if it grows excessively dense, to promote air circulation and availability of light. Generally, train citrus trees as shrubs or hedges.

If you would like to remove a few lower branches to give it more of a tree shape, go ahead, but do not overdo it.

Pests: There are some pests that attack citrus and one of the most common is the citrus leaf miner. It is not life threatening, but it will reduce the yield. Look out for silvery trails in the leaf â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is made by the miner and it distorts the leaf. Spraying with a white oil preparation will soon control that. Any black discolouration on the leaf is a black sooty mould. It is always associated with one or other of the so called sucking insects. These could be mealy bugs, which are small, white, furry looking insects, or it could be white fly, scale or aphids. Spraying with white oil or a soft systemic insecticide will usually solve the problem. Commercial products are available but the following recipe works well: Use about a cup of ordinary cooking oil, half a cup of water and a tiny amount of ordinary washing-up detergent. Dilute with water so it is about 40 parts water to one of this mixture. Stir it and spray it on. Remember to get good coverage of the leaves. Keep citrus trees happy and healthy by using organic based fertilizers. These products do more than feed the plants - they also feed the soil and encourage earthworm and soil microbial activity. If you follow the simple rules of fertilizing, watering and tender loving care, your trees will reward you with plenty of sweet fruit. Marc Vijverberg

International Habaneras competition ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL suzanne@costablancapeople.com

We are once more coming up to the International Habaneras competition in Torrevieja. This is an annual competition that this year will be celebrated from the 17th to the 23rd July. It is the 63rd event of this kind and represents the Habaneras singing tradition that dates back to the years when Torrevieja was a major port trading between Spain and Cuba and Puerto Rico. The mayor and president of the Habaneras Association, José Manuel Dolón, with the vice president, Domingo Soler, made the first announcements about the competition. ‘It will be the most international of all of those celebrated so far,’ explained the mayor. The 12 groups that will participate in this phase of the competition include seven from Europe; Poland, Serbia, Ukraine, Russia, Latvia and two from Spain; one from America; one from Argentina; four from Asia; two from the

Ten million donation to battle cancer refused An association of healthcare workers in Aragón has rejected Amancio Ortega's donation towards the fight against cancer. The founder of the Inditex empire has donated 10 million euros to the

Amancio Ortega

region to buy state of the art technology for cancer diagnosis and care. The donation forms part of a 320 million euro donation to the country as a whole. However, the Association for the Defence of Public Health in Aragon announced its objection to the 10 million euro donation from the Amancio Ortega Foundation saying: “Our community should not have to rely upon, accept or express gratitude for the generosity, altruism or charity of any individual or agency. We aspire to receive adequate financing of our needs through a

progressive tax system which redistributes resources, prioritising public health. “The first thing the government of Aragón should do is introduce measures to get back the universal right to healthcare lost in 2012. And find an urgent solution to the shortages that are putting pressure on health centres and professionals: lack of equipment, absent staff not being replaced, ward closures or waiting list scams.” According to its website, this association is made up of ‘progressive’ professionals working nationally in the healthcare sector doctors, nurses, auxiliaries, administrative staff, social workers, etc whose objective is to defend a “universal and redistributive public healthcare system” and who are opposed to outsourcing services. It is not the first time a member of the Federation of Associations for the Defence of Public Health has criticised the generosity of the Inditex founder (pictured). Last Friday, representatives from the Canary Islands said they felt “deeply embarrassed about the gushing enthusiasm shown by President Clavijo

and Councillor Baltar” with respect to the donation. Their statements, echoing the words of their counterparts in Aragón, came after announcements were made that the Amancio Ortega Foundation would donate 17 million euros to the region to buy equipment for oncology departments. “For the sake of the dignity of the people of the Canary Islands, our community should not have to rely upon, accept or express gratitude for the generosity, altruism or charity of any individual or agency. And even less so when it comes the majority shareholder of one of the country's biggest companies and largest personal fortunes, who should not be displaying his philanthropy, but fulfilling his obligation to contribute to public funds in a manner that is proportional to his income, like the rest of us do,” they said. “If the Amancio Ortega Foundation is really concerned about health, perhaps they should make donations to countries like Morocco and Bangladesh, where the majority of their clothing is made, and improve the working conditions of people working for them either directly or via a subcontractor, whose working conditions are nothing short of exploitation and whose lives and health are put at grave risk every day, or work to combat the human rights violations that are so widespread in the textile industry”, they added.

Philippines and two from Indonesia. This is an important competition for Torrevieja as it promotes it positively around the world. The town is recognised as a world stage for choral singing and enjoys positive media attention during the time that the International Habernas takes place. Sixty percent of the singing will be in Spanish, demonstrating the importance of the Spanish language when it comes to the habanera. The jury this year will consist of five national and

international judges and the competition will be opened by a choir who has won on two previous occasions. The youth choir from the town’s choral school will have a special role to play and a representative from the Federation of World Choirs will also be in attendance. Again this year, TVE will record the performances with a new presenter in place. The location of the Habaneras en la Playa will change this year, moving to the Paseo Vista Alegre which was the original setting for this part of the competition.

WELCOME TO FUERTEVENTURA with Vivalia Travel Fuerteventura was chosen among 500 European destinations by the Quality Coast International Certification Program of the European Coastal and Marine Union as one of the most attractive tourist destinations for visitors interested in cultural heritage, environment and sustainability

FUERTEVENTURAis one of the Canary Islands, in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa, politically part of Spain. At 1,660 square kilometres (641 square miles), it is the second largest of the Canary Islands, after Tenerife. It was declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in May 2009. Its capital is Puerto del Rosario. History Colonial Fuerteventura: Over time, the island endured numerous pirate raids. A Berber lead expedition invaded in 1593, sweeping as far inland as the capital. Various castles were built along the coastline, to protect against these type of attacks. The population was moved inland as a second protective measure. Because of the raids, a first Captain General was dispatched to Fuerteventura, accompanied by a number of Sergeant Majors, to defend the island in the name of the Crown. At that time Betancuria became the religious capital of the island. To the present: In 1852, a free trade zone was extended by Isabella II to the Canary Islands. Military island rule, which began in 1708, was finally dissolved in 1859, and Puerto de Cabras (now Puerto del Rosario) became the new capital. The Canary Islands obtained selfgovernance in 1912. In 1927, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote became part of the province of Gran Canaria. The seat of the island's government (cabildo insular) is located in Puerto del Rosario. A total of 74,983 people lived on the island in 2003. By the 1940s the island had an airport (just west of Puerto del Rosario on the road to Tindaya, still visible today). Mass tourism began to arrive in the mid-1960s, facilitated by the construction of the present airport at El Matorral and the first tourist hotels. Beaches Fuerteventura was chosen among 500 European destinations by the Quality Coast International Certification Program of the European Coastal and Marine Union as one of the most attractive tourist destinations for visitors interested in cultural heritage, environment and sustainability. Climate The climate on Fuerteventura is pleasant throughout the year. The island is hence referred to as the island of eternal spring. The sea regulates air temperature, diverting hot Sahara winds away from the island. The island's

name in English translates as "strong fortune" or "strong wind", the Spanish word for wind being viento. During the winter months, temperatures average a high of 22 °C (72 °F) and a low of around 15 °C (59 °F), whereas during the summer a mean high of 28 °C (82 °F) and a low of 20 °C (68 °F) can be expected. Precipitation is about 147 mm (6 in) per year, most of which falls in autumn and winter. December is the month with highest rainfall. Economy The economy of Fuerteventura is mainly based on tourism. Primary tourist areas are located around the existing towns of Corralejo in the north and Morro Jable in Jandia, plus the purely tourist development of Caleta de Fuste, south of Puerto del Rosario. Tourism The first tourist hotel was built in 1965 followed by the construction of Fuerteventura

Airport at El Matorral, heralding the dawn of a new era for the island. Fuerteventura, with its 3,000 sunshine hours a year, was placed firmly on the world stage as a major European holiday destination. While having fully developed tourist facilities, the island has not experienced the overdevelopment found on some other islands and consequently caters for visitors attracted by its rugged natural beauty. The summer Trade Winds and winter swells of the Atlantic make this a year-round surfers' paradise, with more exposed areas on the north and west shores such as Corralejo and El Cotillo proving most popular. Wind surfing takes places at locations around the island. Sailors, scuba divers and big-game fishermen are all drawn to these clear blue Atlantic waters where whales, dolphins, marlin and turtles are all common sights.

Employment figures maintain upward trend The positive employment figures published at Easter have continued their upward trend into May. The most recent data published by the Employment Ministry shows encouraging figures both for unemployment and new employment: 111,908 fewer out of work and 223,192 more people making Social Security payments, an historic record for any month of May and the highest for any month since 2005. “We have got back 65 percent of the affiliated workers lost during the recession”, Tomás Burgos, secretary general for Social Security, told the press. There are now 18,345,414 people in work in Spain, well ahead of the 16 million the country dropped to during the worst months of the recession, back in 2013. Nevertheless, the total is still a long way short of the 20 million Rajoy set as his objective for the end of his legislature, in 2020. Burgos was delighted to announce the best employment figures for 142 months, saying they were

“singularly positive whichever way you look at them”. His opinion was not however shared by all. “The government is wagering everything on seasonal work and only consolidating temporary jobs”, complained Mari Carmen Barrera, secretary for employment for the UGT, after hearing the employment figures for May, which still leave the country with 3,461,128 people out of work. The trade union lamented the fact that the majority of new jobs were seasonal and linked to tourism. The affiliation statistics show that of the 207,571 newly affiliated workers, 65,409 were working in the hotel and restaurant trades and 15,793 in shops. Bugos, however, also highlighted the number of new workers in the construction industry (+14,327), which has seen a revival of fortunes over the past year (the number of people working in this sector has increased by 8.8 percent, the biggest increase in any

sector) and, as Burgos pointed out, “is showing its best month of May since 2006”. A degree of uncertainty is still reflected in the type of contract being awarded. No other month since records began has seen such a high number of new contracts being signed (2,027,569), but only 8.2 percent of them were indefinite contracts (167,267) and barely 4.8 percent were permanent and full time, which are the only ones which provide workers with stability and a regular income. “Logically, temporary contracts last for less time and you only need to turn to EPA (Encuesta de Población Activa - the Spanish labour statistics office) to see that 70 percent of all Spaniards have permanent contracts”, explained Juan Pablo Riesgo, secretary of state for employment, who emphasised the ‘strong’ 14.8 percent growth in the number of fixed contracts signed in May compared with the same month in 2016.

EU wary of Brexit talks walkout regardless of election winner The EU is steeling for a possible collapse of Brexit negotiations regardless of who won Britain's general election last week, officials and analysts say. While many in Brussels were better on Prime Minister Theresa May's return to power, despite a fading poll lead, the real focus is on British threats to walk out when the talks start. European Union Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier says he is ready to begin immediately but has warned London of the risks of walking away without agreement on Britain's departure. “A big punch-up or blow-up is not unlikely” after Brexit negotiations formally start, an EU source told Spnaosh news agency AFP on condition of anonymity. May and her Brexit minister David Davis have repeatedly warned that “no deal is better than a bad deal”, particularly when it comes to a 100billion-euro exit bill that Brussels is demanding. London is also still insisting on having talks on a future trade deal at the same time as negotiations on the actual divorce, something Brussels won't allow. The EU is eyeing June 19, 11 days after last Thursday's election, for the formal start of two years of tough

talks, with informal contacts ‘soon’ after the election result. While Brussels is officially neutral about national elections, European sources said they wanted a “strong leader in London” who can negotiate backed by strong support from the British electorate.

the reasoning goes, would make her able to make compromises on thorny issues such as the exit bill, and on safeguarding benefits and immigration rights of EU citizens living in Britain. But the increasingly harsh tone on Brexit and the threats to walk

While this might seem counterintuitive in an adversarial process, the idea is that if May, for example, increases her slim majority she would be less beholden to eurosceptics in her own party. This,

away which have emerged during the election campaign have worried some in Brussels. Frenchman Barnier insisted when EU states gave him his formal mandate on May 22 that quitting talks was “not

my option, my option is to succeed.” He strongly warned that if Britain does so he would “advise everyone to explain well what the consequences are”, not least for a future EU-British trade deal. European Commission chief JeanClaude Juncker has delivered a similar warning about the threats. “My experience in politics always was that those who are going out have to come back,” he said. Andrew Duff of the European Policy Centre said that Britain and Brussels risked “diametrically opposed” positions, and urged the EU to draft a Brexit plan B. “If we go on like this, the probability is that the Article 50 talks will fail,” he wrote in a commentary. However one European diplomat with experience in international negotiations said the election was just “noise”, and that until Britain came to the table the EU wouldn't actually know what its strategy is. Analyst Amandine Crespy at ULB university in Brussels said within the EU “everyone is waiting” to see what emerges. Prior to the election results experts said: If May wins “the discourse of hard Brexit shows her limits: if she's too hard she will be reproached because

she'll have to give way on some points.” If Corbyn wins the situation is more unclear, with the Labour leader remaining something of an unknown quantity on Brexit. He has pledged to uphold the result of last year's Brexit referendum, but has also talked about giving visas to European workers, in a more lax stance than May's. “It will be interesting if Corbyn wins - that could overturn all the cards,” Crespy said. As with any divorce, the EU is meanwhile keen to show that it is moving on altogether. Brussels has repeatedly insisted that the Brexit talks won't distract from its bid to rebuild stronger after years of crisis and growing euroscepticism. Juncker's right-hand man Martin Selmayr said recently that the EC chief would only spend half an hour a week on Brexit. The election of pro-European French President Emmanuel Macron has given new impetus to these efforts, seen as even more important as the EU copes with a difficult partner over the Atlantic in the form of Donald Trump. “The EU has been very busy these last few days with other subjects” such as Trump and a summit with China, another European source said.

They don’t know I exist?

Am I being unreasonable?

My partner and I have been together for 15 years. We met at work in England, and both retired early to Spain at 40. My family knows I am gay, but my partner’s family does not. He has lived a lie all his life because his Father is vehemently homophobic. His elderly mother died recently, and he went back to the UK alone for the funeral. He said he really felt as though he needed me there, but I couldn't go for obvious reasons. I wonder if we should come out to his family now?

My parents moved to Spain two years ago. We have visited once so far, but they have not been back to see us. My Mother expects us to make the journey at holiday times because ‘London is so cold’. We find the flights expensive and my husband’s parents live in Scotland so we need to see them also. I want our children to be part of both grandparents’ lives. I ended up having a row with Mum telling her that it was ‘they who left and now need to face up to the consequences’.

This is a very difficult situation for you both. For your partner, living the lie has been a way of life this far, and it would be very difficult and upsetting to come out to his family now. His father has recently lost his wife, and revealing all to him at this stage would do no good. You both have a life apart, and a long long way from his family, where you can both be yourselves. If I were you I would savour what you have, and don't rock the boat just now.

I think compromise is the only key here. If you haven’t done so already, you should calmly explain the financial and family reasons why it is hard for you to visit them every year. I hear the other side of this story all the time, from grandparents who have retired to Spain. They complain they don’t see enough of their family, but to some degree sacrifices have to be made when emigrating. Meet one another half-way if you can.

Santander buys Spain’s struggling Banco Popular for €1 Spain’s Banco Santander has bought the struggling Banco Popular for one euro in order to prevent its collapse, according to a statement released recently by the European Union’s Single Resolution Board (SRB). The decision was taken after a week that saw Popular shares plummet. According to the European Central Bank, Popular was “failing or likely to fail.” The takeover has been endorsed by the European Commission. “The decision taken today safeguards the depositors and critical functions of Banco Popular. This shows that the tools given to resolution authorities after the crisis are effective to protect taxpayers’ money from bailing out banks,” said Elke König, chair of the SRB, in the statement. Trading in Popular shares has been suspended and shareholders will lose 100 percent of their investment in the lender. Until now, Banco Popular’s listed value had been around €1.3 billion, but that figure has evaporated following the sale for the symbolic price of one euro. Around 300,000 investors are affected by the move. Santander will raise €7 billion in capital in order to absorb the struggling bank, according to a filing with the National Securities Commission (CNMV). This is the first such decision adopted by the SRB since it became an independent agency in January 2015 with the mission to “avoid bail-outs and worst-case scenarios.” “The Single Resolution Board (SRB) has transferred all shares and capital instruments of Banco Popular Español S. A. (Banco Popular) to Banco Santander S. A. (Santander),” reads the SRB’s statement. “This means that Banco Popular will operate under normal business conditions as a solvent and

liquid member of the Santander Group with immediate effect.” The takeover is considered to be “in the public interest as it protects all depositors of Banco Popular and ensures financial stability.” Like many other Spanish lenders, Popular had suffered from exposure to bad loans following the slump in the property market after a decade-long boom that ended in early 2008. In June 2012, the Eurogroup approved up to €100 billion for Spain to recapitalise the country’s banks. In a statement of its own, Santander underscored that the takeover will be conducted “without any taxpayer support.” “The combination of Santander and Popular creates Spain’s largest bank by lending and deposits, with 17 million customers,” says the Santander statement. “The combination of Santander and Popular strengthens the Group’s geographic diversification at a time of improving economic conditions in both Spain and Portugal, and will allow us to continue to deliver for customers and shareholders on all our commitments,” said Santander chairwoman Ana Botín.

Fake Iberdrola 'refund' email warning A ‘phishing’ scam involving emails purporting to be from electricity company Iberdrola has been uncovered by Spain's National Cyber-Security Institute in the centre-northern city of León. The Institute, or INCIBE, says that fraudulent messages have been received by numerous customers explaining that an error in their billing system

means they are now due a refund for the overpayment. It asks the user to click on a link, which takes customers to a website that appears to be Iberdrola's, and prompts them to give their personal data and bank account details. Once this information has been disclosed, the scammers then help themselves to victims' funds. As yet, the INCIBE is not

aware of whether any customers have suffered major financial losses. Iberdrola would never ask for bank details by email, since it already has clients’ data to process refunds if necessary and, if this is not the case – because of the customer paying all bills in cash – would deduct any overpayment from the next bill due.

Mortgage lending on the up The Bank of Spain has confirmed that the 12-month Euribor - the indicator used to calculate most mortgage rates in Spain dropped to -0.127 percent in May, a new historic low which translates to an average annual saving of some 61 euros. May's figures mark the 16th month in a row with the Euribor in negative figures, and the downward trend looks set to continue with the Central European Bank confirming ‘solid’ economic prospects for the euro zone. The estimated 61 euro annual saving for mortgage holders is based on the fact that in May last year the indicator sat at -0.013

percent, meaning that a mortgage of 100,000 euros across 25 years with a differential of Euribor plus 1 percent had a monthly cost of 376.28 euros. Monthly payments on a mortgage of these characteristics under the May 2017 conditions however, will drop to 371.20 euros, equating to a monthly saving of 5.08 euros or 60.96 euros across the year. In addition, new residential mortgage lending rose by 20.2 percent in March compared to the previous year, according to the latest figures from the National

Institute of Statistics (INE). New mortgage lending has risen strongly every month this year with the exception of February, another sign of the continuing recovery of the Spanish housing market. The value of the average residential loan rose by 6.4 percent to €114,469, and the average interest rate rose to 3.23 percent. So despite the fall in Euribor, new mortgage interest rates are on the rise after two years in decline.

Buyers and ther amusing behaviour Rebecca Serwotka

Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada & published author of “Moving Forward – 25 Essential Rules For Buying & Selling Real Estate Without Going Crazy.” Request your FREE copy today! People experience different emotions when purchasing a home, but mainly I’ve noticed, that it varies depending on their Nationality and culture. Sometimes the comments and questions can be amusing when out and about hunting for that perfect home in Spain, but there are times when their beliefs take over, and they insist on performing certain rituals before deciding on the right property. For your reading pleasure, and amusement, I have listed a few of the comments and “performances”: I was taking an English couple out on a viewing appointment. As I was driving them around, the guy turned to me and with a serious look on his face, asked me, “Do you live in Spain?” I couldn’t really believe what I had heard, and felt like saying, “no I commute from England everyday,”but I bit my tongue and replied politely, “Yes, yes I do” I thought, what an unusual question, then smiled and carried on in true British style. On another occasion,“What do you do as a real job?”I was asked! After working full time, for many years, believe me when I say, I really don’t have time for anything else. Another time, I was taking a German guy out on a viewing. He had met me in my office, alone. I said“Jump in the car with me, and I can show you, your selected houses.” To my horror, his reply was“First we go to the hotel!” I think my face said a thousand words, without my lips even moving. I was unsure how to respond quickly. But luckily I didn’t have to, because in his

next breath, he said, “because we must pick up my wife!” I think even he had to chuckle, when he heard me give the biggest sigh of relief. Meet the tappers! These types of buyers, like to knock on every wall, tap every window, and do a type of“flamenco dance”testing out the floor tiles. This for me, has brought a smile to my face many a time. And still, I find it very amusing. When buying a home, it can be a very sensitive subject, as many people have different beliefs and superstitions. Even though I may not have the same beliefs myself, it’s very important to me, that I show respect to the people I am with. Some beliefs mean carrying out certain rituals before deciding to buy a dream home. One ritual I specifically remember, was when an English couple I was with, expressed a very serious interest in purchasing a home I was showing them. They said they needed to do a water test before making their final decision. I thought they meant they needed a professional to come in and check the drinking water, or maybe a plumber to check the pipework. “No,” they said, “we do water witching” also known as “water dowsing.” They went to their car and brought back two bent rods, then proceeded to walk the whole garden with the rods held out in front of them. Wondering whether they did find the water they were looking for? Simple answer. No. And they did buy the house! Although the Europeans aren’t too fixated on superstitions when purchasing a home, the Chinese have very strong beliefs when buying property. They will not purchase a home on a corner where two roads meet! They are big believers in “Feng Shui,” as the flow of energy throughout the home is important to them. Numbers are also important, and will be interested in a home that has the numbers 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 in their address. So whether you’re the type of buyer that follow certain rituals, or whether you just go with your heart, buying a home in Spain should be a positive and exciting experience, so relax, don’t get stressed, and enjoy the journey. Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough! See our advert in the centre pages of this newspaper. www.homes4u.es

Renegotiations for the UK Britain will have to renegotiate 759 international treaties for Brexit. According to the Financial Times, among the international treaties on the table, Britain must lead 295 bilateral and multilateral accords on trade, from 202 texts of shared regulations from antimonopoly regulations to the exchanging of data. Sixty-nine agreements on fishing will be needed, regarding areas and quotas, 65 pacts regarding aviation and

transport, 49 cross border or customs agreements, 45 in the nuclear sector, and 34 regarding farming and agriculture. Some of these agreements are absolutely essential, as chaos would result otherwise underlined the Financial Times. Other things facing the British Government regard aviation rights and the agreements on importing components and nuclear fuel for facilities in the UK. “The logistics are terrifying,” said Hosuk Lee-Makiyama, a

retired trade civil servant for trade between Sweden and the EU, and he alerted that some countries could take advantage of this opportunity to renegotiate treaties making greater demands on the UK. The British Minister for International Trade, Liam Fox, said his Government would want agreements on transition to give space and time for new international treaties to pass smoothly without adverse economic or other effects.

events a year, as Orihuela has grown it is necessary to have a greater number of volunteers to ensure security. Due to this need, the Department of Emergencies started this campaign with an awareness event at the Glorieta Gabriel Miró. “The event showcased the equipment the Civil Protection uses in its day to day work and looked at the roles volunteers play in emergencies”, said Emergency Coordinator Pepe Andúgar. The demonstration of equipment included a fire extinguishing vehicle, bilge pumps, field hospital and climbing equipment among other items. With the start of the new school year in September the campaign will offer information through talks in the educational institutes of Orihuela since you

can volunteer from 16 years of age providing you have parental authorisation. This part of the wider programme of actions within the campaign put in place with the aim of motivating citizens of all ages to want to help their neighbours. Councillor Valverde explained: “This is why our campaign motto is ‘become a volunteer, Orihuela needs you’. The work done in Civil Protection is credited with certified hours, training courses and scoring for positions in other security and emergency bodies. “The great work of all our volunteers during the floods in December, where once again they demonstrated their professionalism in a situation of both high risk and emergency shows the need we have for this service.” Mireille Toddington

The Councillor for Emergencies, Víctor Valverde, has presented a campaign aimed to encourage new volunteers to the Civil Protection. The campaign aims to “promote interest among citizens to be part of this security and emergency body that performs a great work throughout the year”.

THE USE OF FRAGRANCE TO ATTRACT ANGELIC ENERGY One of the most potent tools we can use for attracting angelic help is beautiful fragrance, especially in the form of essential oils which are known for their mood enhancing mind alterants. Our ancestors were well aware of the etheric qualities of essential oils and they were widely used by priests and priestesses of virtually all religions. Fragrant oils were used to attract spirits, Goddesses and Gods, to banish evil spirits and to purify places of worship. Personally I use essential oils in the house in many different ways. My favourite is Rose Geranium. Geranium is said to balance the emotions, allowing the angels of love to draw closer to us and the rose aroma is used as an anti-depressant. Anyone who is feeling run down or depressed can instantly be lifted by smelling the fragrance of rose

oil. The combination of the geranium and rose is very uplifting with wonderful healing qualities. I generally burn Rose

Geranium in my oil burner especially when I am meditating, healing, or carrying out Clairvoyant Readings. Another of my favourites is Mandarin or Orange which I use in an oil burner when expecting company as it is such an uplifting aroma as well as a welcoming one. I'll also put drops onto the rug and then Hoover over it so that the essential oil is impregnated into the fabric.

Orange helps to form lasting bonds of angelic inspiration and enhances all of your communication skills by purifying your throat chakra with the divine assistance of Archangel Haniel, who, when invoked, helps us recover the lost secrets of natural healing remedies through natural fragrances, crystals, and the magical energy of the moon. Did you know that you can also put a few drops of essential oil onto synthetic flowers or plants around the home? A fabulous and natural way of inviting in the love of the angels and promoting positive energy around the home is by placing fresh flowers in a central location where you can both see and smell their aroma. However, ensure that once the flowers start to die you must remove them and replace with more fresh flowers to keep the positive energy flowing.

Two arrested in Torrevieja for ‘Costa’ break-ins Two men were arrested in Torrevieja this week, accused of several breakins in Orihuela Costa. Officers managed to recover several stolen valuables from the men, who are believed to be responsible for robberies at several houses along the coast.

s well as the crimes relating to larceny and breaking and entering, the two are also accused of bank fraud and road safety violations. The pair is believed to have placed potential victims under surveillance, watching over the properties and as soon as the owner left, they would take their chance and break in. However, one of the robberies took place at night while the homeowners were asleep – they realised the next morning that they had been burgled. Meanwhile, another of the breakins was carried out on the same day, at the same house, against the same victims as an earlier robbery. One of the detainees used several false identities to try to hinder the investigation, the police statement revealed. Officers from Pilar de la Horadada were in charge of the investigation when it became clear that there was a link between a number of robberies on the Orihuela Costa. After reviewing footage from several security cameras in the area, they came across images of a man who was “well known to officers” due to his high level of criminal activity. The man, who had already been detailed by the Guardia Civil on multiple

previous occasions for similar crimes, is known to use up to ten different aliases to try and impede investigators. CCTV footage showed how the man waited for the inhabitants of the house to leave before forcing a window open to gain entry. He would steal any objects of value – among them, bank cards left by the owners. The would then go to an ATM machine to try and extract money and often, had success, managing to withdraw around 3000 euro in cash. Records show that the two actually tried to withdraw a further 7000 euro in total, over several attempts, but luckily for the account holders, these attempts failed. At the time of the arrests, officers took one of the suspects – an Algerian national – by surprise, and found him to be driving a car owned by a Spanish man, but without a driving licence, and thus were able to add a road safety offence to the list of existing charges. On inspection the car was found to contain, hidden, tools used for breaking and entering. In a further twist, at the time of his arrest, the man was wearing a very distinctive pair of sandals which a victim later identified as having been stolen from his home. The two suspects - a Spaniard of 47 years and an Algerian of 49 - have been brought to justice and a provisional spell in prison has been ordered for one of them while the other has been released with charges. Meanwhile, the investigative team at Pilar de la Horadada Guardia Civil continues to locate the owners of a number of valuables recovered during the investigation.

Roman craft market in Lezuza If you like good quality craftwork, historical re-enactments, tasting food made to Roman recipes and learning about Spain's rich history; then you could do worse than visit the village of Lezuza in the province of Albacete over the weekend of 16th, 17th and 18th June. You will probably never have heard of Lezuza, or Libisosa as it was called before the Romans came, unless you are interested in archaeology and ancient history. Lezuza has one of the biggest excavation sites in Spain, a site that dates back to the 5th Century BC, and also includes several sites from Roman and Medieval times. Libisosa derived its importance from

being situated at the crossing of important roads between Complutum (now known as Alcalá de Henares), Toletum (now Toledo), Emerita Augusta (Mérida), Corduba (Córdoba) and Carthago Nova (Cartagena). Since a team from the University of Alicante started excavating in 1996, more than 100.000 finds have been identified and catalogued. In June, when the V Jornadas de Recreación Histórica de Libisosa will be held, the village will be the scene of many interesting activities, such as guided tours to the excavation grounds and the historical museum, a Roman military camp within the

excavation grounds and an interesting Craft Fair will be held in the modern village. Most people of the village and the participants in the craft fair will be dressed up as Romans and several ladies will prepare food to original Roman recipes, which visitors can try. Many of the participants in the Craft Fair will not only sell their work, but also show their skills making Roman shoes, blowing glass, dyeing wool and linen with natural products, weaving or making paper. To amuse the children there will be workshops, Roman story-telling and at night there will be a juggling show with fire. But there is a lot more to do and see. Several re-enactments in the Roman Camp will show you how the soldiers and their families lived, bought and sold slaves, exercised them and made them fight as gladiators. Most of the activities take place on Saturday, starting at 9am and lasting till well past midnight. For those who don't want to miss anything of this interesting programme there is a Casa Rural (B&B) and a Hostal nearby, and the Town Hall has prepared a site for Motor Homes, free of charge. More is information is available on the website of Lezuza: www.lezuza.es/ or at the tourist office: tel. 689 511 721 or 967 354 001. If you want to know more about the Craft Fair you can ring the organising association, Amata, on 639 979 678 and photographs of a similar market organised by the same association Amata can be found at: www.amata.es/Hondon13.html.

New equipment and staff for Orihuela summer fire prevention team The Mayor of Orihuela, Emilio Bascuñana, and the Councillor for Emergencies Víctor Valverde have given details on the preventive fire services of the Civil Protection for this summer season. The team will remain in place until 30th

arrival of other expert personnel, and are armed with water deposits, tools and rescue equipment. Mayor Bascuñana also stressed “the importance of both institutions and citizens being involved in fire prevention in order to

September, for the coast and the city as well as the outlying districts of Orihuela. The municipal team will be responsible for the monitoring and control of the areas that are most susceptible to fires. Preventive work will be carried out through regular tours of the most prone areas such as the Dehesa de Campoamor and the Sierra Oriolana. The Emergency Department has been expanded this year with four additional staff to help develop this prevention campaign that began recently and will end on 30th September, from 10:00am to 7:00pm and at weekends until 7:30pm. The vehicles used by the fire prevention team are specially equipped for a first intervention until the

be able to react in a timely manner and to prevent them from occurring in the first place, since prevention is a matter for all.” He said: “The work that the Civil Protection performs in the field of fire prevention is vital and therefore we have made every effort to carry on the service for the safety of all.” Emergency coordinator Pepe Andúgar said that the new vehicle has two fire extinguishing units - low and high pressure - as well as chainsaws, stretchers and material for interventions in case of a traffic accident. “We are prepared for all the kinds of emergencies that the teams can come across in their work.” Mireille Toddington

Give €1 – save a life The Costa Blanca People has been supporting fundraising for the Tasha Appeal since the 23 year old was struck down by disease two years ago. Now, we want to take that support to the next level by launching a new campaign: Give €1 – save a life. The idea came from Tasha’s own father, Andy who explained, “At last we have a diagnosis for Tasha - a rare mitochondrial disease. And with a diagnosis, we can at last look at treatment. This is available in the US, and of course, is expensive. There are 309,000 Britons living in Spain, and if just two out of every three people gave one euro, we would be very easily able to raise our target of €200K to get Tasha the treatment in America.” “Just imagine,” said Andy, “If two out of every three Brits in Spain gave just one euro – less than a beer or a coffee in many places – we’d do it; that would be it!” And so, the Costa Blanca People wants to help Andy with this campaign. Having met Tasha and her supporters, we know what a wonderful person she is and what a harrowing ordeal she is going through every day. She is just 23 years old and the last two years have seen her totally devastated by rare, life

altering illnesses. Tasha has been diagnosed with a rare mitochondrial disease, which is the primary disease alongside other rare secondary illnesses. The disease has struck in such a devastating way that she is currently paralysed from waist down, unable to breathe unaided and relies on a ventilator and tracheotomy, unable to swallow, and is fed through a tube. Tasha is blind in her left eye and light sensitive in her right eye. She is also unable to support her own head unaided. Despite all her own medical problems, Tasha is still upbeat about life and, using the internet, spends her time encouraging other people throughout the world to never give up with their own personal fight with chronic illness. Tasha’s dad Andy told the Costa Blanca People, “Since her diagnosis we have found out information from a research hospital in America about a treatment of specialist tailored medication that could improve quality of life and possibly extend life expectancy. Due to the treatment being tailor made for the patient, it is very expensive.”

Andy continued, “Tasha has spent all her adult life helping both adults and children, and now needs help herself. She is originally from Liverpool, but is now living on the Costa Blanca and through no fault of her own, is currently not in receipt of any financial benefits from the UK or Spanish governments.” Please try and help a young woman that helps so many. Why not hold a fundraising event in aid of Tasha’s Euro Appeal? If you, your local bar, business, restaurant or social group would like to help, then you can host an event and donate the money through the methods listed below.

With your help, she could possibly be given a new, better and longer life. HOW: Simple – give €1 (or more, if you can). WHERE • Online via the Go Fund Me Page (incidentally, you can see the total raised so far here too): https://www.gofundme.com/w48entashas-mitochondrial-treatment • Online via Pay Pal: andy.alicante@mail.com, Andy then logs each payment with the Go Fund Me page so that everything is accounted for • In person, at the following collection points:

MOVIE PICK

Channel 4

A new sheriff of a small town along the U.S. & Mexico border investigates a drug cartel deal that went horribly wrong. Director: Gonzalo López-Gallego Writer: Nils Lyew Stars: Ian McShane, Lynn Collins, Patrick Wilson The film takes place in an Arizona hamlet near the Mexico border where a few locals earn an off-thebooks income by selling ammunition to a drug cartel. There’s a new sheriff in town, Wallace (Patrick Wilson), a straight-arrow prodigal son who returns to his old stomping grounds to replace Leland (Ian McShane), a beefy and boozy cynic with a reputation for shooting first and seldom asking questions later. Wallace arrives just in time to get caught in the crossfire after an ammo delivery goes wrong. Because of their connection to a rash ne’er-do-well who ran off with a stash of drug cartel cash; Shepard (Jim Belushi), a sleazy used-car dealer; and Marla (Lynn Collins), Wallace’s incautious ex-wife, are on the kill list of the aforementioned hit man (Leguizamo). Wallace is determined to save at least one of those potential victims, and he doesn’t let a little thing like having his hand sliced off with a machete seriously impede his mission. Wilson is persuasively resolute as the sheriff, and Belushi does sweaty desperation like a pro. But McShane effortlessly overshadows both of them — and everyone else in the cast — with a flamboyantly mannered performance charged by alternating currents of contemptuous sarcasm and pessimistic gruffness. In between swigs from a very large bottle of whiskey, he runs the gamut from waxing philosophical (“It takes a willing hand to punish horrible men!”) to issuing florid insults (“You are not an unfortunate man, you are an auspicious parasite!”) when Leland isn’t offering dire warnings about the threat to his community posed by murderous“bogeymen.”Chief among the latter: Atticus, the relentless assassin effectively played by Leguizamo as only slightly less indestructible than Jason Voorhees.

of 15 euros. At the end of the stage and to validate the achievement, pilgrims who have completed the Camino de Levante received an accreditation certificate. The bus carrying the pilgrims will left at 6.00am from the Ociopía Shopping Centre and a bus was also available for those people who did not wish to walk this the stage on foot but did want to accompany the walkers on their arrival in Caravaca de la Cruz to enjoy the special day and the food. At 12.00noon a special celebratory Mass took place in the Sanctuary of Veracruz. The service was open to all and although linked to the Camion de Levante pilgrimage was not exclusive to the walkers.

MIT tops world university rankings for 6th consecutive year QS Quacquarelli Symonds, higher education experts, released the 14th annual QS World University Rankings this week. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is the world's leading university for a record sixth consecutive year. 959 universities are ranked. Caltech joins Stanford and Harvard for clean USA sweep of top 4 places while in the UK, 51 of the United Kingdom's 76 universities fell in the rankings, reflecting prolonged funding cuts, improvements from other nations, and concerns about the potential impact of Brexit. Universities with a strong technological focus succeeded in this year’s rankings. Singapore's Nanyang Technological University rose to 11th, Korea's KAIST reached a record high (41st), while Delft

University of Technology became the Netherlands' leading university. Australian institutions continue to consistently improve with Australian

National University (20th) returning to the top 20. Six Chinese universities now feature in the Top 100, two more than last

year while India boasts three universities among the Top 200, one more than last year. Latin American institutions struggle to improve, but the Universidad de Buenos Aires reached its highestever position (75th). Ben Sowter, Research Director, QS, said: "MIT is the nucleus of an unrivalled innovation ecosystem. Companies created by its alumni enjoyed combined revenues of $2 trillion, making them the equivalent of the world's 11th largest economy. However, their continued dominance at the top should not obscure a changing landscape elsewhere, with other US and UK institutions making way for the best of Russia, China and India - among others."

McDelivery launched in Spain McDonald’s has launched its McDelivery service in Spain, this is a home delivery service that they will operate in conjunction with the Spanish start-up company Glovo. The new home delivery service is only available in Madrid and Barcelona for the time being, but there are plans to implement it gradually across the rest of Spain. McDonald's is working with the Spanish start-up Glovo, whose job it is to guarantee delivery of the orders placed via the application. There is no minimum order in order to use the service, which will available during each restaurant's normal opening hours, even in the case of those that are open 24 hours. The fast food chain is clearly keeping up with consumer habits, having posted sales of over 600 million euros last year, a 10 percent rise on 2015’s figures. The president and director general of McDonald’s Spain, Mario Barbosa, explained that this “strategic move” comes in response to the most common

requests from consumers and from the “desire to help everyone share moments of happiness.” “We are proud to make this happen at last in collaboration with Glovo, already in Madrid and Barcelona and coming soon

to other Spanish cities”, he added. McDonald's was founded in 1940 as a barbecue restaurant by Richard and Maurice McDonald, in San Bernardino, California. In 1948, they reorganised their business as a hamburger stand and the

first McDonald's franchise using the arches logo opened in Phoenix, Arizona in 1953. Businessman Ray Kroc joined the company as a franchise agent in 1955 and subsequently purchased the chain from the McDonald brothers. Today, McDonald’s is the world’s largest restaurant chain, serving approximately 68 million customers daily in 120 countries across approximately 36,900 outlets. In response to changing consumer tastes, the company has expanded its menu to include salads, fish, wraps, smoothies, and fruit. A McDonald's restaurant is operated by a franchisee, an affiliate, or the corporation itself. Revenues come from the rent, royalties, and fees paid by the franchisees, as well as sales in company-operated restaurants. According to a BBC report published in 2012, McDonald's is the world's second largest private employer (behind Walmart with 1.9 million employees), 1.5 million of whom work for franchises.

Holiday rentals offer more beds than World Gin & Tonic Day hotels for the first time Vacation rentals have taken over the tourism market in Spain. In 2016, for the first time, there were more available beds in so-called “tourist apartments” than in hotels across Spain’s main cities, according to a study by Exceltur, the industry business association. This analysis shows that the number of bed space available through short-term home rentals has nearly doubled from 2015, to reach 362,493 beds in Spain’s 22 biggest cities. This supply is 9.76 percent higher than what hotels had to offer. The rise of short-term vacation rentals available through online operators has changed Spain’s tourism landscape. Between 2012 and 2016, supply skyrocketed by 1,633 percent in 22 cities that together represent 84.5 percent of all city tourism in the country. “In just four years, vacation rental accommodation has exceeded the number of hotel beds created during entire decades of tourism-industry development,” noted José Luis Zoreda, executive vicepresident of Exceltur, on Wednesday. This supply inflation has not yet affected the hotel industry, which is experiencing a boom in foreign tourist arrivals. In fact, overnight stays at licensed lodgings grew 20 percent between 2012 and 2016. But Exceltur warns that it will be difficult to keep this up once competing tourist destinations are no longer unstable and start attracting visitors once again. “Once they recover, the Spanish sector will feel the effect of this new trend a lot more intensely,” said Zoreda. This is the first time that a tourism

industry report has reflected this new situation. The data compiled in UrbanTUR 2016, which was presented on Wednesday in Madrid, reflects the supply on offer in the main online platforms. This means that some ads may be repeated across websites, and that some available housing units may have been left out of the equation because they were not listed at the time that the report was drafted. Airbnb, the most popular of the shortterm home rental websites, has been

growing at a pace of nearly 100 percent in recent years, and now represents 54.2 percent of all available vacation rentals in Spain. Demand in the 22 cities grew 33.8 percent more than in 2008, but the industry complains that occupancy rates and prices remain at pre-crisis levels. “We haven’t improved on these two key aspects, and the problem is that we have greater tax pressure,” said the CEO of Meliá Hotels, Gabriel Escarrer. The rise in tourism has reached a saturation point in major cities such as Barcelona and Madrid.

“We are starting to hear about ‘touristphobia.’ It is a cause for concern to the hotel industry because it affects us, although it makes no sense for us to be made responsible for the crowds seen in recent years,” said Ramón Aragonés, CEO of the NH Hotel Group. The 22 cities analyzed in UrbanTUR 2016 were Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, San Sebastián, Málaga, Seville, Palma, Bilbao, Santiago de Compostela, Gijón, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Valladolid, Zaragoza, Córdoba, Santander, Granada, Salamanca, Alicante, Murcia, La Coruña, Burgos and León. Most competitive Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia are the most competitive cities in Spain in terms of tourism, according to the study by Exceltur, the industry business association. Out of the six indicators reviewed by the report, Barcelona takes top position in four. Madrid wins out in two fields: its attractive business products and its accessibility and mobility. The study also looked at leisure and entertainment options, urban settings, local life, governance and strategic management. Málaga and San Sebastián climbed up to third and fourth place overall. “These cities have worked and invested in tourism, and that is noticeable,” said Óscar Perelli, director of the studies department at Exceltur. The report also deplores that tourism has become less of a political priority for local governments, but praises improvements in digital marketing. Urbantur 2016 also notes a rise in private investment in tourism.

Did you know that Saturday 10th June was the 9th Annual World Gin and Tonic Day? If not, don’t worry – as the weather warms up for summer, there’s never been a better excuse to sit back in the shade and enjoy a GnT. Did you know? A Dutch scientist originally formulated juniper berry oil as a medicine and it was added to distilled spirit along with botanicals in order to make it more palatable. It was so palatable in fact, that cases of reported illnesses soared as the masses tried to acquire this ‘genever’ that was only available in pharmacies. The demand was so high that numerous small distilleries emerged and the commercial, non-medicinal version was born. Dutch courage English troops fighting alongside the Dutch in the Thirty Years' War (16181648) noticed that the Dutch soldiers were extremely courageous in battle. This bravery became attributed to the calming effects of the genever that they sipped from small bottles hanging from their belts. English soldiers returning home from the war spread the news of this genever and the Dutch began to import it all over the world in their vast fleet of trade ships. The gin craze With many water-borne diseases prevalent around London, gin became a safe drink for the poor. In excess of 7,000 spirit shops sprung up around London and gin became known as the opium of common people. The engraving ‘Gin Lane’ by William Hogarth depicts an image of the social breakdown supposedly caused by gin, which took the blame for a of multitude of sins and

consequently earned the nickname “mother’s ruin”. A gentleman's drink The invention of the distillation column led to a significant shift in quality and the emergence of a new type of gin, known as the London Dry style. The smoother taste of the distilled spirit allowed for the aroma of the botanicals to become predominant and many companies started to develop gins with a wider range of complex flavourings. G&T As the British Empire expanded, the threat of mosquito carried malaria became of great concern to the colonists. Quinine was a known deterrent for mosquitoes, but it tasted exceptionally bitter on its own. With the recent invention of carbonated water, quinine was used as a flavouring to create tonic water which, as it just so happens, is a perfect complement to gin. Gin and tonic was therefore drunk as an anti-malarial and became the distinctively British colonial drink. Needless to say, when the troops arrived back in Britain the practice came with them, minus the addition of quite so much quinine.

Orihuela supports diversity The Councillor for Equality, SabinaGoretti Galindo, has reported that an agreement will be formalised between the City Council and the Association Diversitat, as part of the local government team’s “commitment and support towards the LGTBI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and/or intersex) collective”. Due to the social rejection suffered by this group, it is necessary to implement measures in both the prevention of prejudice and care for victims. Therefore, “the agreement includes programmes that focus on the prevention, awareness and visibility of the collective, especially from the educational field”, while providing professionals and adequate resources for those who are victims of hate crimes because of their sexual or gender identity. Galindo was accompanied by Toño Abad, president of Diversitat (a non-profit association for human rights and real equality), who said that “Orihuela is the first municipality in the province of Alicante to adhere to this agreement and we are grateful that they have chosen to include diversity in their municipal agenda”. The agreement includes, among other points, the implementation of the Municipal Plan for Attention to Diversity with measures such as information tables , courses, lectures and workshops.

The Councilor for Equality also announced that parallel to the agreement training workshops will be held in Orihuela in the area of attention to diversity, especially sexual, family and gender. First LGTBI Pride The Councillor explained that to mark the celebration of the International Day of Pride LGTBI, the Department of Equality will carry out the following activities across the municipality: placement of a rainbow flag on the balcony of the Town Hall, as well as the installation of a special decoration “that will amaze everyone and give a touch of color to our city”. In addition, a round table discussion on hate crimes will be held. Also, a celebration of diversity will be held for the first time in Orihuela, and will include a concert with various performances and many surprises, which the councillor will give more information on in the coming days.

Interview with Councillor Luisa Bone

Since when did you have the responsibility for the management of the city council for the beaches and coordinated services in Orihuela Costa? Since January 31, 2017, I started my work in the city council for beaches when all the beaches were completely destroyed; the strong storms in December and January were devastating for our coastline. So you were not involved in the government of Orihuela before? No, I belong to the municipal group of Ciudadanos. We had been in the opposition since the beginning of the legislative period, but we decided to reach an agreement with the PP to govern together. This happened, as already mentioned, in January. We have been pursuing a constructive policy since the beginning, because we believed that this is the best thing for the community and we have never been proponents of blocking good initiatives just because we are from another party. If we evaluated an initiative as a positive thing for the community, we also supported it. My group believes that if you want to improve Orihuela and the coast, the best way is to be part of the government and to work within the government team and that is what we are doing now. What were the first measures you took after taking responsibility for the beaches? The first was an inventory of the damage we had in all our beaches and the planning of the necessary measures to bring the beaches back into a normal state. The Easter week was approaching and the beaches had to be ready for that time. Can you mention some of these damages? The damages were terrible: all the piping for the foot showers was broken and we had to lay new pipelines to all the beaches. The foundations to 14 foot showers were also completely destroyed. The ramps, the stairs and the beach footbridges for access to the beaches were also destroyed, such as on the beach of Playa de la Glea and Mil Palmeras. We have lost a lot of urban equipment on the beaches, such as beach footbridges, waste baskets, including three flagpoles.

Most of the beaches had no sand, you had the impression of a desolate landscape and it was depressing to witness this. Well, Easter is over and it seems that you have managed to repair everything on time. That's right. The fact is that the city hall staff and the urban intervention forces responded very well and did an excellent job against the time. And now? The beaches are now in a very good state, the international jury for blue flags even told us this week that the city of Orihuela has received 11 blue flags as a quality mark for the year 2017, that is one more flag than the previous year. What I would like to say is that we can not have done our work too badly! Orihuela is very well positioned on the international level because our beaches combine a number of criteria which attracts many people. We are the second municipality in the whole of Spain with the most blue flags, and it is not so easy to acquire them and then to keep them. And what do you plan to do with the green areas of Orihuela Costa, which have always been very neglected? I have started an action plan for the green areas and the roads of Orihuela Costa. On the one hand, we contracted the service of a company for the clearing of the weeds and the shrubs in the streets. The action areas have been defined, where they have to clear the weeds and after that work has been done, they will spray the weeds so that they do not return so quickly. And on the other hand, we have drawn up an intervention plan which takes into account all the parks in Orihuela Costa. The company, which is responsible for the maintenance of the green areas on the coast, does not have to maintain all the green areas according to their contract terms and therefore we have worked out a work plan to be able to cover all the parks. The work that these intervention forces mainly do is pruning trees, pulling up dead plants, weeds and maintaining the urban equipment that is located in the parks, such as benches and the facilities of the children's playgrounds. This work, which seems so easy,

was simply not being done and therefore the parks are in their current state. I am working to change this completely. I believe the neglect arose more as a matter of the lack of coordination and control rather than the lack of financial resources. At present we are carrying out a revision of all the green areas in order to establish what resources and actions we need for their proper care in the future. And what can you tell me about the streets, don’t they need urgent improvement? That is correct, that´s why we recently put out to tender an amount of € 647,000 for the asphalting of the roads of the coast. As public tenders take longer, we will not be able to finish this work before the summer. Therefore, I have divided the asphalting process into three phases. The first phase began on Monday, May 15, in which some roads are paved where required because the daily traffic necessitated urgent asphalting. We are talking about the streets of Carretera de Villamartín, Nicolás de Bussi and Salvador Dalí. In a few weeks the second phase will begin, taking into account other roads, which are also in dire need of asphalting before the summer. The remaining roads will then be included in the execution plan for the month of September. There seems to be a fresh wind blowing on the coast. Are further investments planned? Yes, we have some projects in progress and herewith I want to make them known. We are currently working on the extension of a pedestrian walkway in Villamartín and improvement works are planned between the restaurant Montepiedra and La Barranca. In addition, the area of La Pinada in Campoamor will be re-paved in a week or two, because it is also in a bad condition. Furthermore, we have planned further investments for parks, beaches and asphalting, which will soon be passed through the plenary session of the town Hall. Very soon you will see a big difference here on the coast. It seems to me that you have taken over the city council of the coast with great commitment and joy. That is true and I am sure that I can make a 180 degree turn on the coast's infrastructure, and as I have the unconditional support of my group, this change will be a reality. Ciudadanos backs the coast, we know that Orihuela Costa has been very neglected and we see the many shortcomings, the result of years of neglect, but that is over now.

Half Price Health Check Offer at Premier British-led Medical Practice

edcare is the Costa Blanca’s only British Medical Practice with clinics in Benijofar and Alfaz del Pi. By offering a full aesthetic, cosmetic, dental and medical service, Medcare serves both the ex-pat and local community. One of Medcare’s most popular promotions is the half price health check. Comprehensive blood tests will be performed screening for cervical, bowel and prostate cancer, as well as many other conditions such as diabetes, liver and kidney disease, anaemia, infection, bowel cancer, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and thyroid problems. Patients will also receive a nutrition and lifestyle review, ECG and BMI check by the Practice Nurse, followed by a detailed consultation with Practice doctor, Dr Hussain who will also perform a skin cancer and mole check. Complimentary consultations with Medcare´s other specialists are also included in the check. Why are health checks needed and why are they so important? 'Tragically, too many people continue to die unnecessarily because disease is detected far too late for want of a few simple tests,' said Medcare's Dr Hussain. 'Many British ex-pats on the Costa Blanca seem to be particularly vulnerable because of language

barriers or not knowing what health screening is available meaning that they are even less likely to attend for screening'. Routine health checks and early diagnosis can stop some of the biggest killers from claiming lives, including heart disease, prostate cancer, breast cancer and cervical cancer. Medcare patient, Roy, had a health check which showed that he had a heart arrhythmia needing medication, as well as a slightly high prostate level. ‘If I had not had a Well Man check at Medcare I don’t know what would have become of me'. Dr Hussain advised the reading be checked again in three months and when this turned out to be even higher, the doctor sent him to a urologist who diagnosed prostate cancer.

Surgery was quickly scheduled and thankfully Roy’s PSA reading dropped right down. He´s confident that if it hadn´t been for the body MOT, he would not be alive today and could not thank our doctor enough for finding the heart arrhythmia and picking up the prostate problem. Getting a health check could be the most important thing you do this year, so don’t waste time. Either visit your own GP or book your half-price Medcare Health Check by calling 966 860 258 or email doctors@medcarespain.com.

Only two out of 10 men in Spain share chores equally Just two out of every 10 men in Spain share household chores equally with their partners, according to a new survey by the Center for Sociology Research (CIS). Only 16 percent of men cook as often as their wives or partners, while 24 percent take on cleaning duties on equal footing with their spouses. Men tend to spend more time on “minor home repairs,” according to the CIS Barometer for the month of May. Nearly 45 percent of men are responsible for all of those repairs, while 27.1 carry out almost all of such work. Meanwhile, 71 percent of women surveyed by CIS said they almost always did the cooking. Between 20 percent and 30 percent reported of men said they almost always carry out this chore. In terms of cleaning the house, just 19.8 percent of men said they almost always did this, while 63.5percent of women said they were almost solely responsible for this chore. As for time spent caring for children during their first three years of life, only 5.6 percent of fathers reported

being their chief caregiver, compared with 87.7 percent of mothers. Only 36 percent of women are fully satisfied with the job division within their home, whereas this figure rises to 48 percent among men. Sharing out roles How are the household tasks divided? Over half of men and nearly half of women said they talk it over with their partners and come to an agreement. Around 26 percent of women said it is they who make most of the decisions, compared with less than 3 percent of men.

Post-Brexit returning pensioners could cost NHS €1.15 billion per year Expat pensioners forced to return to the UK after Brexit is finalised could cost the NHS €1.15 billion a year, a new report has claimed. If the UK fails to strike a deal over health rights for elderly Brits living in Spain, France and elsewhere in the EU, the NHS would have to foot the bill, the Nuffield Trust has warned. Currently, the UK government pays €575 million a year for healthcare provided to some 190,000 British pensioners living in the EU. The reciprocal ‘S1’ scheme grants pensioners the right access to the same health care as the local population. Report author Mark Dayan said: “The NHS and social care were already under pressure from tight funding settlements and growing staffing problems well before the EU referendum last year. “But if we handle it badly, leaving the EU could make these problems even worse, given the potential impact on both the strength of the UK economy and the supply of overseas staff to both health and social care services.” The report also highlighted the importance of EU workers in the NHS, with social care facing a shortfall of 70,000 workers if migration is halted.

Radiant skin vitamins decoded From Seven Seas to Centrum, taking vitamins with breakfast is a pretty natural thing for most of us, but no matter how many of those chewy orange tablets you eat, your body only delivers a small amount of these to your skin. And that's where vitamin-infused skincare comes into play. Every day, all manner of serums, moisturisers and cleansers are being formulated with the good stuff. From vitamin A (a potent anti-ager) to vitamin E, which cleverly acts like a shield against complexionravaging UV rays and pollution, vitamin-enriched skincare contains way more than meets the eye. Below experts explain exactly what each of those little letters does and why you should be squeezing them into your existing skincare routine. What Does Vitamin A Do For Your Skin? If you're big on anti-ageing or suffer with spots, you're probably aware that vitamin A in its purest form is also known as star skincare ingredient retinol. Favoured by dermatologists and facialists all over the globe, retinol’s complexionperfecting properties are second to none. “Vitamin A or retinol is the gold standard in skin ageing,” says clinical facialist Kate Kerr. “The reason this ingredient is so effective is that it is a cellcommunicator. It attaches itself to skin cells and tells them to behave like younger, healthier versions of themselves. “Retinol helps speed up cell turnover, thickening the dermis for plumper, younger looking skin and a brighter, more glowing complexion, and it really helps improve hyper-pigmentation, acne, large pores, lines and wrinkles.”

Would You Benefit From Vitamin A? Yes, if... You’re worried about ageing or want to iron away lines and wrinkles. It’s also a fantastic treatment for those with acne and scars. “Vitamin A deficiency can lead to other skin abnormalities like pigmentation and possible breakouts,” says Lorraine Scrivener, skin expert and director of the Eden Skin Clinic.

We’re all familiar with skin resurfacing ingredients like Salicylic and Glycolic Acid but B3, otherwise known as Niacinamide, is also extremely effective in refining skin texture - and who doesn't want a flawless face? Vitamin B3 helps prevent and treat hyper-pigmentation by slowing down the transportation of melanin to the skin's surface and it's also effective in improving the skin's barrier function to maintain skin hydration. But that's not all. This particular vitamin also has an antibiotic effect which means it improves skin congestion and acne breakouts, all whilst regulating sebum. Would Your Skin Benefit From Vitamin B3? Yes, if... Your skin is dehydrated i.e. tight, sensitive, peppered with lines and lacks radiance. B3 is also a must-have for those who suffer with blackheads and spots, thanks to its ability to control oil, and city

dwellers will benefit from the antioxidant protection it lends skin against environmental aggressors like pollution.

Vitamin B12 is often overlooked in skincare and plays an important part in speeding up cell regeneration. Bring on the science… Vitamin B12 works by binding to enzymes to help with chemical reactions in the body and the skin. When B12 is absorbed into the skin, it boosts metabolism in the skin cells and this energy speeds up cell recovery and regeneration. In turn, fatigued skin is improved. And according to experts, topical use of B12 delivers even better results than oral supplements. As much as 99 percent of what you swallow is not even absorbed it just passes through your body, but continued use of topical vitamin B12 leads to thicker, firmer skin. Would Your Skin Benefit From Vitamin B12? Yes, if... You’re concerned about ageing. B12 reduces the signs of ageing skin by increasing the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, which is nature's hydrating powerhouse.

According to skin experts, if you’re going to incorporate any vitamin into your skincare arsenal, it should be vitamin C, as its ability to protect and strengthen the skin is second to none. Vitamin C is one of the most important skincare ingredients and it should be included in everyone's regime, from teens just starting out with skincare to those after strong anti-ageing benefits. It's one of the most potent antioxidants around, which means it not only helps shield the skin from free radical damage caused by environmental aggressors, but it increases protection against sun damage. In fact, a vitamin Cbased serum with SPF50 should be the foundation of all day-time regimes. And even though we can easily get vitamin C from various fruits, vegetables and supplements, it's especially important that your skincare boasts a dose of the all-rounder, too. “Using it topically is essential as it gets to the skin cells directly to boost collagen and elastin and to reduce wrinkles,” says Margo Marone, co-founder of The Organic Pharmacy. Would Your Skin Benefit From Vitamin C? Yes, if... More or less everyone will benefit from a vitamin C serum or cream, especially those who are keen to guard their skin from ageing UV rays and pollutants which can zap a complexion of its natural glow.

You might also find vitamin C beneficial if you suffer with hyperpigmentation, too. “It also has a profound effect on our melanin producing cells,” says Donna Tait, co-founder of Katherine Daniels Cosmetics, something which The Organic Pharmacy’s Margo seconds. “It prevents pigmentation damage and has an energising effect which gives skin back its radiance, its even tone and its luminosity.” The Best Vitamin C Skincare Products To Buy Now: - The Organic Pharmacy Antioxidant Face Serum, £84 www.theorganicpharmacy.com - Murad Essential-C Day Moisture SPF 30, £55 www.murad.co.uk - Katherine Daniels Repairing Nourishing Mask, £27.40 www.katherinedanielscosmetics.com What Does Vitamin D Do For Your Skin? Vitamin D is synthesised in the skin when exposed to sunlight, but topical vitamin D works differently - and facialists believe it's something that shouldn't be missed out of your skincare line-up. Would Your Skin Benefit From Vitamin D? Yes, if... You suffer from acne or sensitive skin. Vitamin D has been shown in studies to minimise acne lesions and to improve eczema and dermatitis. But it is always important to consult your doctor before self-treating a skin condition. Skin? Vitamin E is a hero ingredient in the beauty sphere, especially for those who suffer with ultra-dry and sensitive skin, but it's also one of the best antioxidants out there.

Technology Dave via email asks: Hi Aunty. I don't know if you've covered this before but thought it was worth passing on. For my Photos I use Google Photos and there is also an app on my phone so I've got all my photos with me as a thumb nail It is 1TB of data free with Gmail account and stores the photos in original quality. Aunty Says: Hi Dave. I think I have commented on this a few times in the past but probably when the service was known as Picasa. For those of you that haven’t used it, Google Photos is simply a free app for your phone, tablet or computer that lets you manage and move as may photos you like and safely store them on the Internet, or “The Cloud” as it’s frequently called. There are also some wonderful features built in to let you play around with your photos. As far as I know it is now unlimited storage, so long as you keep your photos below 16 megapixels, which is twice what my camera will do. I’ve used it for years and cannot imagine how I would manage without it.

Billy from Catral asks: I am thinking of uninstalling Avast from my computer as I think it is slowing everything down. I can't seem to stop it scanning my whole computer every time I start Windows, and surfing the Internet has become very slow. I regularly scan with Malwarebytes so will that be enough? Aunty Says: Hi Billy. I used to like Avast but it does seem to have gotten rather

bloaty this last year, something I’m seeing a lot of the old free favorites doing. You should keep on scanning with Malwarebytes but you will also need an antivirus program alongside it. When you uninstall Avast the built in Windows Defender should automatically kick in. Defender is pre installed with Win8 and Win10 and was previously known as Microsoft Security Essentials.

Marion via email asks: Hi Aunty, I use Yahoo for my home page and for my emails emails but last week it has started automatically coming up in Spanish. Most of the time I can manage but if I am sending an email the spell checker picks up on almost every word and I have to be careful as it has automatically changed words into Spanish. Can you please tell me if I can force it back to English? Aunty Says: Hello Marion. The easiest way will be to go to uk.yahoo.com as this will force the UK English version, and your mail and most search results will then be the UK ones. If you use sites ending in .com then Windows and your browser (Chrome, Firefox etc) will often use your geo location to determine what language you need, and as we are in Spain this will cause this kind of thing. To tidy things up you can change your default startup/homepage to uk.yahoo.com within the settings of your browser. That’ll do for this week. Email me your problems to auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com

and I will see what I can do.

Come along and join us.

Getting Fined Without Moving Excessive speed or driving whilst using a mobile phone are two of the most common causes for which you can receive a traffic sanction, but it is also possible to be fined without your vehicle moving, and not only for parking where you shouldnÂ´t. Many drivers seem oblivious to the fact that you can be fined for washing your car in the street, or for carrying out repairs. Although the fines are largely symbolic, depending on the municipality, they exist none the less. Water, oil, other deposits can interfere with the road surface and can become a risk. There are also environmental concerns over the disposal of waste, such as water, or other fluids. Car wash facilities have complex recycling and drainage systems so as to minimise waste of the precious commodity of water.

Not having a clean car can result in a fine. Even if the vehicle isnÂ´t going to move, the lights and reflectors, and the number plates, must be kept clear, if the vehicle is moving, so must the windows. Having a number plate in a poor condition, whether you drive or not, can result in a fine of 80 euro. If the vehicle is permitted on the road, the number plate must be clear. There are a number of fines possible at the fuel filling station, some of these posing a serious risk, but some less obvious than others. You must not smoke when refuelling, or light incendiaries such as matches. However, you are not permitted to refuel with your lights on, or the engine running, nor are you allowed to use your mobile phone or have the radio on. Any of these activities can lead to a 200 euro fine and the loss of 3 points.

ItÂ´s also never a good idea to leave the keys in the ignition, although this is mostly for your own security. If you have moved house and you have not notified the DGT of your new address, you can also receive a sanction. It is a simple process to perform and free, so it is worth notifying them as soon as possible. These are just a few of the fines you can face without moving, there are many more, including not wearing a high visibility vest if you leave your vehicle in an emergency, not placing warning triangles, or in the wrong place, creating excessive noise or disturbances, using the horn inappropriately, the list goes on, but all of these fines are for one common goal, and that is to improve safety.

HELP Vega Baja raises funds at fashion show HELP Vega Baja volunteer Wendy Thomas and her husband Geoff kindly opened their home for the second year running to host a volunteer Fashion Show to raise funds for the charity. Friends and volunteers were invited to go along and models wore clothes from the charity’s shop in San Miguel that were available to buy after the show for a small donation. A glass of bubbly and buffet were enjoyed before the models took to the “catwalk” which included cakes and goodies donated from many who came along on the day. President, Michele Masson said: “We are extremely grateful to Wendy and Geoff for once again being so generous and allowing us to take over their garden for the day. A lot of hard work has been done behind the scenes by several of our volunteers to ensure the day was a success and we would like to thank everyone involved.” “More than 700 euros has been made on the day and this will of course be used for those people who need support. The

other very important thing is that it was a fantastic opportunity for volunteers who work so hard day after day to get together and enjoy themselves too. We have now been asked to hold another show later in the year and are considering this with the possibility of opening it up to everyone – don’t worry Wendy, it won’t be in your garden!” Following an increase in activity within the charity, the HELP Vega Baja committee are very keen to welcome new volunteers to join their team. There are several areas to choose from including charity shop, administration, advice desks at San Miguel, Torrevieja and La Marina, hospital visiting teams, 24 hour helpline and much more. If you are interested and have a few hours a week to spare, please contact Richard Garland (Charity Secretary) on 966 723 733 or email: office@helpvegabaja.com More information is also available on the HELP Vega Baja Facebook page

Donation to Age Concern President of Age Concern, Maureen Payne was delighted to receive a cheque of €100 on Monday 5th June from Rojales Neighbourhood Watch. The cheque was presented to Maureen by Helen Tudor and Vice president of Age Concern, Pan Horobin, was also there to take part in the occasion. The donation will go towards a replacement hospital bed. Age Concern is based in La Siesta and provides a support hub for elderly people

in Torrevieja, Orhuela Costa and as far as Gran Alacant. Those who can’t travel independently are brought by bus to the centre and are able to enjoy a range of facilities including a book library and story tapes. Most of all Age Concern provides an opportunity to socialise and can also help signpost individuals to other support groups and information. The association relies upon donations but also raises money for other worthwhile

causes. Suzanne O’Connell

A Visit to the Theatre I was fortunate enough recently to go to the Cardenal Belluga Theatre, to see the Production of “Carry on Pompeii” by The Stagestruck Theatre group. On arrival at the theatre I was offered a complimentary drink, a programme and shown to my seat. Shortly after this the lights were dimmed and we were informed to sit back and enjoy this comedy performance. Well in no time at all we were transformed back to Ancient Rome as the actors performed their parts impeccably, with a main character Grovelo the head slave keeping the audience informed as the play went on. Well it seemed in no time at all came the interval, the first half was over with an excellent story line (written and directed by Leigh Humphries) consisting of good singing and laugh out loud gags galore. I had been thoroughly amused and enjoyed this first half performance immensely. Then came the announcement there would be short interval and the raffle would be drawn, I was unlucky and didn't win. I felt I was already a winner for

enjoying the first half performance. The lights again dimmed and Grovelo regaled us with information as the story unfolded keeping me laughing with the gags and entertained with the story line. The solo songs and the outstanding costumes and scenery reminded me of the times I had been to professional West End Plays. The second half drew to a close with Mount Vesuvius erupting and a standing ovation from the audience. When the final curtain was pulled the Director and a fine actress Leigh Humphries stepped forward to thank the audience, the actors,

the back stage staff, the sound and lighting crew for their support and commitment to the group. She then called forward a representative from The Torrevieja Alzheimer's Association and presented them with a cheque for 3000 euro. I now cannot wait until the next performance - according to the programme, a Christmas Pantomime “Robin Hood and the Babes in the Wood” so for more information about events or even joining the group you can contact:leigh.humphries58@gmail.com T.J.Sawkins

Expat appeal buys defibrillators for Campoverde urbanisation A British resident living in Pilar de la Horadada has organised an event for residents of the Pinar de Campoverde urbanisation in order to raise funds to buy defibrillators for the area. Due to the efforts of James McGril a total of €6,500 was collected. The local health department issued a statement offering its most sincere thanks for the initiative undertaken by Mr McGril and his wife. “All the residents and visitors

to Campoverde will benefit and it will make this a healthy heart urbanisation.” The health department said the Town Hall will offer courses in Spanish and English so that residents can learn how to work the defibrillators in case someone has a heart attack. Residents of Benijofar also recently held fundraising initiatives at Bar Catorce to buy a defib machine to be kept in the local police patrol car.

Your week in Sport Whoa there England, you look like quite a good cricket team right now. A wonderful partnership between skipper Eoin Morgan and Ben Stokes saw

Wednesday, with the final being on Sunday. There’s been a fair bit of tennis going on with Sir Andrew Murray aiming to turn his season round and finally lift the Musketeer’s Cup at the French Open. Sadly for the knight, Stan Warwinka had different ideas and knocked

England beat Australia on Saturday and eliminate their old foes. Whilst the weather hasn’t been that great on the whole, it hasn’t affected the England games and they have sailed through to the semi-finals. Bangladesh made it through from England’s group as New Zealand were another side to have flown halfway around the world for very little. In Group B India saw off South Africa with ease to book their semi-spot and Pakistan and Sri Lanka were to shoot it out for the remaining berth. England are due to play either India or the winner of the Pakistan/Sri Lanka match on

Andy out in the semi-finals before going on to be trounced by Rafa Nadal in the final, bringing up Rafa’s 10th French Open title. In the women’s draw, an incredible run by the unseeded Latvian Jelena Ostapenko ended with her lifting the trophy, beating Simona Halep in the final. Never before has an unseeded player triumphed at Roland Garros. With Wimbledon looming, Maria Sharapova has removed herself from the indignation of playing in the qualifiers by declaring herself injured, a bit like she declared herself innocent of doping.

Las Ramblas Firstly let me apologize to Olga Douglas, last week I reported in the press that Alan Douglas was 2nd in the Wednesday Competition when in fact it was Olga with 36pts. On Monday we played the 6th and last Round of the 4 from 6 medal Competition prior to the greens being treated as usual for this time of year. The results were as follows: Cat1: 1st Hendrick Oldenziel nett 74, 2nd Dougie ( I´m off the Blues now) Wright nett 76, 3rd on a count back Olga Douglas nett 76. Cat 2: 1st Mike Chapman nett74, 2nd Marleen Billen nett 76, 3rd John Dobson nett 77. 2´s Club: Mike Chapman, Hendrick Oldenziel, Terry Field and Ron Phipps. Wednesday we had to play our, Best 2 of 4 all count on the par 3´s, by playing the back 9 twice due to green maintenance work and the winners were Liz Robertson, Ron Phipps, Peter Reffell and Brian Dent with a good score of 95pts. 2nd were Olga Douglas, John Dobson, Mike Chapman and Albert with 93pts. Friday we played “Change Partners” and the winners with 92pts were Nick Campbell, Reg Akehurst, Marie Oldenziel and Brian Staines.

35,000 people turned up to watch Usain Bolt run the 100m for the last time in Jamaica. 35,000 people turning up for 10 seconds of action - that normally happens in the first week of Wimbledon as the rain sets in. The Lions are slowly shaking off their jet lag on their tour of New Zealand. They beat the Crusaders, a side unbeaten all season, 12-3 in their latest warm up match. The real stuff starts on the 24th and the side have three more matches to navigate without picking up any injuries that could disrupt the side. The All Blacks played an excellent card by announcing to the world media that Lions coach, Warren Gatland, is likely to become their head coach at the end of the tour. Whether he does or not, that is a superb way to increase the media pressure on Gatland as he tries to work out some more excuses to have to hand in case the Lions fail in the Tests. England were also in action, a young side beating Argentina. In the words of Lewis Hamilton, “finally some points” as the British driver won the Canadian Grand Prix. It was a casual Sunday drive for Hamilton as Alonso blew up and Vettel’s late charge was in vain. Hamilton closes the gap on Vettel, but needs more races like this one.

ABBEY ANGLING

This week’s 3rd round of the Summer Series was fished at the Embalsa de Pedrera on the 6th June The reports from the fishermen who fished this lake over the weekend stated good bags of fish, but not so for us today, weights were well down and Bill Reade needed only 10kgs to take top honours. With a lot of the Anglers struggling for bites, I went over four hours without a bite, but on changing to the monkey I managed in the end to get 2nd place, and this included a Barbel of 3.6kgs approx. 1st Bill Reade with 10.260kgs fishing the feeder using pellet and hemp 2nd Terry Screen with 9.740kg fishing the monkey using hemp and tares 3rd Ian Brown with 8.900kgs fishing the feeder using hemp pellet and corn There are still some vacancies available for membership at the club All details are available on our new website abbeyangling.es or from me on 965328368

RODS & REELS

Our 8th round of the Spring Series was again moved from Murcia water due to work in progress. The work they are doing seems to be for flood relief and they are using two 2 metre pipes to bypass the weir and hopefully help to reduce the problem of flooding of the tow path. So we therefore fished the El Bosquet Complex on the 7th June. Neil McBirnie drawn on the oblong took top spot with just under 21kgs, but was pushed hard all the way by Jim Rouse who managed a catch of over 20kgs, well done!! 1st Neil McBirnie with 20.880kgs fishing the pole using pellet and bread 2nd Jim Rouse with 20.280kgs fishing the feeder using corn 3rd Ian Brown with 18.800kgs fishing the pole using pellet and corn There are still some vacancies at the Club and if anyone is interested in joining please contact Bill Reade on 966790416 TIGHT LINES Terry Screen

Sampling Torrevieja’s water sports After a quick change to the location, the chance to try out different water sports still had many takers in Torrevieja. Originally it had been planned to take place in La Mata. However, the final venue was Los Náufrigos beach and many people received the message just in time to change their plans. On Thursday 9th June tourists and town’s people congregated on the beach to take advantage of the 50% discount being offered. The objective of the day was for people to find out more about the water sports that are available in the town at the three marinas. Fanny Serrano, councillor for tourism,

was there throughout and talked about the day as raising awareness of what local businesses have to offer. The coast of Torrevieja is the ideal environment in which these water sports can take place, and not just in the summer. ‘You can practise these sports throughout the year,’ explained the councillor. ‘The slogan is Torrevieja 365.’ The focus on Torrevieja as an all-yearround destination is one of the reasons for changing the date of the open day to June. ‘We want to show,’ adds Councillor Serrano, ‘that we aren’t just open in July and August.’ Councillor Serrano was joined by her colleague Carmen Morate

and they both tried parasailing which was one of the new activities on offer this year. This activity allows you to view the coast of Torrevieja, including the pink lake, from just 150 metres in the air. Other sports on offer were kayaking, sailing, kite surfing and flyboarding. You could also take part in trips to the Isla de Tabarca and there were sailing and rowing classes. You could hire out a boat or practise wake boarding and cable skiing. It is hoped that after trying out these activities people will continue to practise them themselves as well as promoting them to others. Suzanne O’Connell

PROMOTIONS UPDATE Glorious Group six champions Olimpic had overturned their 0-1 away leg deficit by the interval in their semi final showdown with Unionistas de Salamanca on Saturday evening. A deflected shot levelled the aggregate score, then a sweet left foot daisy cutter across the keeper and in off the far post gave them the half time advantage. The visitors did not lie down and squandered a host of chances both in the first period and again in the second half, before Olimpic tucked away three more to win 5-0 and 5-1 overall. The score line was flattering as they caught Unionistas on the break for their second half goals, as the visitors desperately tried to get back in the tie. Olimpic got off to a flyer with a Manu opener on 9 minutes and Solano making it two just three minutes later. Solano finished off the scoring in the 84th minute after Marc Cosme and Jandro had made it safe for the team. I feared Castellon had given Pena Sport a glimmer of hope in the first leg, allowing their opponents to come back from 3-0 down to wind up losing 4-2. This meant a 2-0 win would see them through on the away goal rule. With only six minutes left to play, Castellon stood firm, then in the 84th minute they conceded a penalty, which Toni converted. This was all the encouragement Pena needed and they battled to level the tie – and win it with another. In the 96th minute Diego Lacruz got the priceless second, sending Castellon crashing out of the competition. Ontinyent lost the first leg at home 2-1 and had it all to do at Arcos CF. After a goalless first forty five, Ontinyent went for broke, Cristo netting on 57 minutes to make the aggregate score 2-2. However, with Arcos having scored two in

Ontinyent, they would progress to the final, should the score line remain. When Francesc added a second on 76 minutes, it looked an amazing turnaround, but could Ontinyent keep a clean sheet? Indeed they could and group six now had two sides battling over two legs for a place in 2B. Olimpic had been runaway champions and would now seek to turn their league superiority into promotion, whilst Ontinyent had finished 3rd in the group, but made a quite remarkable comeback to win 2-0 in Arcos to battle for their place in the third tier of Spanish football. The first leg final between La Nucia and Villajoyosa to see who would be playing third division football in group six at the end of August was played in sultry Sunday evening heat. In their league encounters, Villajoyosa had drawn 1-1 at La Camilo Cano but won 1-0 at home. This time La Nucia held on to the only goal of the match to record a one nil victory. The return leg this weekend will be in front of several thousand excited Villajoyosa aficionados and should prove a corker. Finally, a reminder that Chairperson, Pat Stewart is keen to enlist new members to the Torry Army committee and to that end they hold their AGM at 8pm at the Casa Ventura in San Luis on Wednesday 21st June. It is planned to peg membership at 5 euros and with Torry in the Alicante group of the Preferente league, there will be some cracking local derbies to be enjoyed this coming season, with very little distance to cover to away games at Almoradi, Thader, Jove Espanol, Callosa and many more. Please make this a date in your diary. JEFF SCOTT

twelfth for Real Madrid There are other sporting events going on – French Open tennis, Cricket’s Champions’ trophy, etc – but there was only one place upon which to concentrate at the weekend – Cardiff. The Principality Stadium played host to the Champions’ League final, the longawaited clash between Juventus and Real Madrid, and everyone expected a tough battle. By halftime, expectations looked justified. Keylor Navas denied the Italians with a fingertip save early on, then Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring after a great Carvajal pass on 19 minutes. Seven minutes later, the game was back in the melting pot, as Mandjukic surprised the Madrid ‘keeper with a magnificent overhead kick that found the top corner of the goal. Juventus continued to threaten until the interval, with the Spanish champions corralled in their own half. The start of the second period seemed to spark a change in the mindset of Zidane’s men, and they began to threaten Buffon’s goal more frequently. On the hour, a loose ball on the edge of the area came out to Casemiro, and the Brazilian midfielder struck a fierce shot from way out. A deflection gave Buffon no chance. Three minutes later Modric took the ball to the goal-line, and his precise insidepass found the deadly Cristiano, who made no mistake. Real Madrid went close several more times, and saw Juve substitute rather harshly sent off for a second yellow card, before Marco Asensio latched onto a superb pass by Marcelo to make it 4-1. It had been a fine all-round performance by the Real Madrid side, and marks their second successive Champions’ League, and 12th continental title overall. Malcolm Palmer

EL RASO GOLF SOCIETY On Friday 26 May El Raso played at Altorreal, a course we have not played for some considerable time. Apart from the greens being difficult to read, the course was in excellent condition, very lush and pleasant surroundings. Twenty-two members, including our two new members Pete Gartside and Kev Bonser, and two guests travelled from the Quesada area to play the monthly Stableford. Best guest prize went to Brent Hollings with a super score of 37pts. The par threes on this course are quite long and well protected by bunkers. No one managed to get a ball onto the 10th green however Brent managed it on the 5th and Jan Shorley and Dave Nicholls hit

the 8th and 17th respectively. John Hill won the best front nine with 18 pts and Bob Shorley won best back also with 18 pts. Third place went to John Fairhurst with a score of 31 pts and second, on countback, was Steve Sayers with 37 pts. The overall winner was Kev Bonser also with a magnificent 37 pts. After the game we travelled back to Quesada for prize giving, and as always, our thanks to Grant and his staff at the Olde 9th for the post game welcome refreshments. Our next game at La Marquesa on Friday 30 June is the Captain´s Day. A fun day is promised with various prizes to be won, organised by our Captain, Marilyn Eckersall.

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

England are World Champions! Yes, let’s all get really excited as England won the U20 World Cup. I would recommend writing down all the names of the players because, sadly, I can almost guarantee that unless you are planning on being familiar with the Wigan, Fleetwood or Portsmouth squads in six years time you won’t remember their names. You may not have been aware, is it was hardly mentioned, but this was the first time England had been in any kind of footballing final since 1966. Freddie Woodman was the hero saving a Venezuela penalty in the second half after Dominic Calvert-Lewin had scored England’s goal. Everton fans the country over are already making a date in their calendar for 50 years time to remind everyone that Everton won the U20 World Cup for England half a century ago. Well, if it stops West Ham fans telling us about 1966 I am all for it.

Freedie Woodman

You might feel I am being slightly down and cynical over what is a fantastic achievement. I probably am. But let’s cool the jets on another Golden Generation label being stuck on this side, shall we? Until each and every member of the U20 squad is playing regular top flight football, hey maybe not even in England so they can expand their footballing knowledge, then there is nothing to get too excited about. Credit to Everton, they have backed some of these players to be first team regulars and they are delivering. Solanke is off to Liverpool, but with the pressure of Champions League football will he actually get the game time he needs? Those that feel I am being a little harsh will probably point to the “habit of winning tournaments” that has served the German and Spanish sides so well. Yes, but don’t forget that those players didn’t see their first team paths blocked long term. Want England to compete in the real European Championships and World Cup? Instead of continually paying £20m for someone you believe to be a finished product, give one of the kids a go. Not that the Premier League care one tiny bit about international football, and why would they?

of how to bring through a top level English footballer. Does the result mean that the Southgate honeymoon is over? Not for me, dropping Rooney gives him at least a year to get it right for me.

Anyway, it was nice to see Scotland wear a decent looking kit for their match against England, far better than that pink number they rocked up to Wembley wearing. This was a truly terrible game that will be remembered for the last few minutes. I don’t know what is more laughable, that England conceded two free kicks in the last five minutes to be 21 down in injury time or that Scotland threw away a huge opportunity to actually win a meaningful game of football. It was nice to see Harry Kane skipper the English team, a top example

At the start of the week Arsene Wenger, a Frenchman, was seen in France. Since then he has been linked to every single talented Frenchman plying their trade in Ligue 1 including Kylian Mbappe, Alexandre Lacazette and Thomas Lemar. Arsenal fans were convinced he was trying to sign Bernardo Silva as well until they realised he’d already signed for Manchester City. Personally I think Arsene was in France to make it look like he was at least trying to sign some of these players, before they all decide to join clubs that might actually

Allow me to introduce you to the concept of the “brumour” which we run every day on www.talesfromthetopflight.com - a brumour is a breaking rumour. Here are some of the finest from the last seven days.

win the league. What is absolutely more likely to happen is that Alexis Sanchez is going to sign for Manchester City. Good luck replacing him Arsene! Time to actually do some work I think, for the legendary manager. I’m amazed at the whole Liverpool saga. I can understand that they want to sign Virgil van Dijk. But, when you’ve bought so many players from Southampton over the last few seasons why on earth do you need to tap him up? Surely you have their director of football on speed dial by now? If I was in charge at Liverpool I would have negotitated a bulk purchase deal ages ago, meaning that I would have got at least a 25% discount on the £60m the Saints quoted. Or maybe Liverpool were furious to learn that they didn’t get James Ward-Prowse free once they got the tenth stamp on their Southampton loyalty card? Either way, Jamie Carragher was furious claiming that there was a “mole” at Liverpool that let the story out. Somewhere big Mumma Sakho is sitting there with a big grin on his face. Romelu Lukaku doesn’t want to stand in the way of the young Everton players returning from the World Cup win so is nipping off to a new club, thought to be Chelsea. Why Chelsea? Well Antonio Conte sent Diego Costa a Whatsapp message thanking him for his efforts last season, but telling him he won’t be needed for the next one. Cold Conte, cold. You don’t tell Antonio Conte you want to go and play in China and get away with it. Speaking of Conte, he could still leave Chelsea in the lurch in my humble opinion. Leonid Slutsky has been appointed the new coach of Hull City on

Roman Abramovich’s say-so, probably as many of Roman’s usual stop-gap managers are in proper employment currently. Leonid has been sent to Hull, probably so he feels just like he is still in his native Russia, waiting by the phone for the news that Conte has walked out on the Bridge. Alvaro Morata will join Manchester United providing that Real Madrid don’t try and pay United back for outbidding them for Pogba. If that falls through, United will turn to Andrea Belotti of

Morata

Torino who, no doubt, will be delighted to know he is Jose’s second pick. Jose, probably from the comfort of his £816-anight hotel room, did the kind of u-turn on Zlatan that many a front bench politician would be proud of and changed his mind on offering the striker a second year at Old Trafford. Sure, Zlatan is injured, but Zlatan is Zlatan, no? Having realised that the M Pellegrino that applied for their managerial vacancy wasn’t the former Manchester City boss, Crystal Palace are thought to be in talks with Frank de Boer about him taking over at Selhurst Park. I can only assume this is Frank’s attempt to remind people he would still like to manage in the Premier League, whilst throwing Southampton the glad-eye from a distance. Southampton would have got around to sacking Claude Puel if they hadn’t been so busy telling tales on Liverpool.
