Cala Mosca fight receives key political support The fight to save Cala Mosca has received important political support after a majority of political parties in the Environment Committee of the Valencia regional parliament voted to support its protection.

he politicians voted in favour of a motion to provide major additional protection to Cala Mosca in the face of a plan to build 1,500 new houses on this last unspoilt natural area on Orihuela Costa. The motion was presented by the

Vega Baja member of the Valencia Parliament, Antonio Estañ. The parties supporting the motion include parties in the coalition which governs the Valencia region. This is particularly relevant in the expected follow up to the motion. The only party which voted against was the Popular Party, which heads the municipal government of Orihuela. A CLARO spokesman said: “The Popular Party of Orihuela and its coalition partner, the Ciudadanos Party, have not lifted a finger to prevent this emblematic last green area of the Orihuela coast being

covered in concrete. They continue to approve new building projects which result in much additional revenue for the municipality but they do not invest this revenue in Orihuela Costa which is becoming a concrete jungle with a constantly increasing population but deficient services and infrastructure.” The important protections which the motion recommends include an independent environmental impact study to be carried out by the Valencia government. This was the principal recommendation of the European

Tuesday, 27th June - 3rd July 2017

Parliament Petitions Committee at its meeting in February attended by CLARO’S Bob Houliston and Marta Guillen of the Cambiemos Orihuela party. The unanimous view of the Petitions Committee, which has given constant support to the efforts to save Cala Mosca since it was presented with a petition of more than 7,000 signatories in 2010, was that the environmental impact study carried out by the developer, although legally legitimate, could not be considered objective since the developer’s interest is to justify the project to build 1,500 new houses. Another recommendation in the motion of 22nd June was a wider Continued on page 2

economic impact study to consider the consequences of adding up to another 5-6,000 or 20 percent to the population of Orihuela Costa with the need to provide corresponding services such as household water in an area where water is a scarce resource, sewage facilities which are not expanded and upgraded, adequate streets and pavements, as well as street cleaning, rubbish removal and park maintenance, which are notoriously deficient. The motion also includes recommendations to increase the protection of the two endangered species which are present on Cala Mosca and to define the animal right of way which follows the coastline of Cala Mosca and has only been defined by the developer. An official definition could reduce the area potentially available for construction. There is hope that these

recommendations will be followed up by the regional Valencian government which is the political authority for deciding on the future of Cala Mosca. CLARO and Cambiemos plus other political parties and groups and Associations such as the Federation of Associations of Orihuela Costa have formed a very effective Platform to Save Cala Mosca and will continue the campaign. Their most recent initiative is a new petition to show public support for this important local cause. Already, in a few days the petition has received over 600 signatures. They are urging maximum support for this initiative which should impress on the regional government of Valencia, as well as the local government of Orihuela, how determined local residents are to save this last green area of our coast which has not yet been concreted over and never should be.

It is believed that the accident occurred at 8.35am on the Playa del Cura. Emergency services tried to resuscitate the man but without success. The incident occurred before the lifeguard service came on duty.

Earthquake simulation in Torrevieja On Saturday, 23rd June an earthquake simulation practice took place in the town in order to check that adequate communication could be maintained should such a catastrophe take place. The councillor for security, Javier Manzanares explained that the simulation is to test out the collaboration that they have been working on between services. Training has included using emergency communication networks and radio transmissions. Following the training it was important to put what has been learnt into practice. The main objective of the simulation was to try out the measures that could be used if traditional forms of communication were down. The different emergency services would need to make resources available as quickly as possible after the first few minutes of the earthquake taking place. Councillor Manzanares pointed out that the threat of earthquakes is nothing Continued on page 5

www.viajesrosatours.com info@viajesrosatours.com N332 as it passes through Torrevieja. The letter accepts that it would be appropriate for the ministry to draft out the project but that it would not commit to putting the project into action. The letter was sent to the mayor in reply to his letter of May 31st. The mayor is keen for the work to take place but it requires funding and support from the Valencian government to be able to do this. Much of the delay to the road works taking place seem to be centred around a missing document that should have been signed in April 2005. There is confusion about whether the relevant document ever reached Torrevieja or not. According to the mayor and his technicians, it has not. ‘I have been assured,’ says the mayor, ‘that the necessary document has never been in Torrevieja. The only item that has is the protocol proposal which was made before this

project and not engage with ‘the game’ of blaming others or finding excuses but instead to actually see these works agreed and implemented. ‘What has happened with this road is an embarrassment,’ says the mayor. ‘The traffic jams are getting longer and anyone who has been there knows what the problem is. I am asking now for written commitments and promises. So far we are not receiving this. Let’s see if it all becomes clearer when we visit Madrid. This is not an issue for political scoring but a problem that we must solve as soon as possible.’ This stretch of road is considered to be an accident black spot. Every year it claims lives as well as being a constant bottleneck that halts commuters daily. It is to be hoped that the mayor’s determination will pay off and Torrevieja will have the N332 dual carriage way it needs. Suzanne O’Connell

People are most likely to become ill or have their passport or money stolen when holidaying in Spain than anywhere else in Europe, according to new research. The new study has revealed that almost a quarter of all UK trips to the country end up in some kind of mishap. The findings have been released after comparethemarket.com created a ‘mishap map’ following a poll of 8,000 UK holidaymakers. The research revealed that one in ten British jollies to Europe involved setbacks like illness, injury, or loss of theft or property. Mainland Spain topped the chart for overall mishaps, followed by the Canary Islands, Greece, and Italy. Travellers are also most likely to lose or have property stolen in mainland Spain, ahead of the Canary Islands and France.

Medals for five Orihuela Local Police officers Five officers of the Local Police based in Orihuela Costa are to receive recognition for their work at the heart of the community for several actions highlighted to Generalitat Valenciana. Three officers will be recognised for the speed and tenacity shown on 16th January 2016 following a murder on a pub terrace in Orihuela Costa. The quick and decisive actions of the officers led to the prompt arrest of three occupants of a vehicle, who were the alleged perpetrators of the fight and eventual stabbing. The other two officers will also receive special acknowledgement and congratulations from the regional administration at the ceremony, to be held on 11th July. These officers were called to the hamlet of Escorratel on 2nd March, 2016 where the brave officers

Head of Travel at comparethemarket.com Sam Grant said: “No one wants their holiday to be blighted by a mishap – big or small – so it’s always worth taking the necessary precautions. “Keep an eye on your belongings, use a hotel safe and don’t fall asleep in the midday heat of the Spanish sun. “Obviously some incidents are completely out of our hands, like flight issues, or getting ill. But it’s always sensible to ensure you have valid travel insurance so if the worst does happen, you’re covered.” The full interactive map can be found on the Compare the Market website.

The officers were able to rescue her and placed her in a safe place where she received first aid. Thanks to the quick thinking officers the lady was uninjured and made a full recovery. The Councillor for Citizen Security, Mariola Rocamora, expressed her delight “because we value the delivery and service of professionals who do not hesitate to help local residents in any situation”. The councillor also passed on her gratitude to the rest of the Local Police force for its work during the daily undertaking of their responsibilities, having the security and well-being of local citizens forefront of mind.

BITE SIZE Fiesta of the Virgen del Carmen NEWS: Continued on page 6

The Virgen del Carmen is the patron saint of seafarers and, as such, she is celebrated along with local fishermen at the beginning of July each year in Torrevieja. On Wednesday June 21st Councillor Domingo Pérez addressed the press conference to explain what celebrations are planned for this year. Traditionally there are events for children and young people as well as music and parties. This year there will be a children’s parade, workshops, games and sports including a football championship. The band Union Musical Torrevejense will lead the procession on its usual route which ends up by the Hombre del Mar (Man of the Sea). There will also be a paella competition and a procession on July 16th. Once again there will be the sea race of ‘floating artefacts’ and, for the first time, a colour party or holi on the 15th at 9pm. In more detail: Saturday July 1st the children of ALPE and APANEE special schools will be offered food in the fish market. From 4pm until 9pm there will be the Great Virgen Del Carmen Children’s Festival that includes workshops a DJ and party. This will be located by the Muelle Pesquero (fishing pier). Saturday July 8th at 10am there will a football championship also at the Muelle Pesquero. At 9.30pm there will be solemn mass held at the Sagrado Corazón de Jesús church in honour of those who have died

at sea. This will be followed by a musical procession from calle Zoa until the Paseo de Juan Aparicio. It will stop at the Hombre del Mar where the Salve Marinera will be performed by the choir and orchestra. Saturday July 15th at 2pm there will be the paella competition with live music inside the fish market. There will be a trophy for the first three winning contestants and prize money of €120 for the first prize, €90 for second and €60 for third. Anyone wishing to participate in this must register before July 12th at the Fishermen’s Guild or call 965 71 02 94. At 9pm is the colour festival or Fiesta Holi with a DJ and again held in the Muelle Pesquero.

Arrangements for the Virgen del Carmen festival announced

Sunday July 16th at 11.30am it’s the greasy pole competition with young people trying to reach the end of the wooden pole and grasp the red flag. At 12.30pm there is a floating objects race. At 7.30pm there will be a celebration of the Eucharist at the Inmaculada church in Torrevieja’s main square. Following this there will be a procession from the Plaza de la Constitución, Concepción, Paseo Vista Alegre and to the fishing port when the statue of the Virgen will be carried aboard the boat ‘Nuevo Pedro y Loli.’ To conclude events there will be the singing of the Salve Marinera and the procession will return back to the Inmaculada Concepción. Suzanne O’Connell

Manzanares announced at a press conference on the 22nd June that the location of the new weekly La Mata market had been agreed with the majority of the local businesses and market sellers. Now the job begins of making the move as quickly as possible. There had been two possible sites proposed by the technicians. However, it was local people who came up with the idea for the site that’s been chosen and presented a 500 signature petition to support it. ‘It will move to a place nearer to the centre of la Mata than the initial suggestions of la Avenida de Los Europeos and La Avenida de Francia,’ explained Councillor Manzanares. The streets where the Wednesday market will now take place include: Calle del Mar, between calle La Lisa and San Isidro Labrador Avenida del Mediterráneo, between calle Mayor and calle La Lisa Calle San Isidro Labrador, between calle del Mar and calle Antonio Gil Calle del Mabre, between Avenida del Mediterráneo and calle Antonio Gil Calle Benacantil, between la Avenida del Mediterráneo and calle Antonio Gil Calle La Lisa between la Avenida del Mediterráneo and the end. The next stage now will be to actually move the market including painting and distributing the stalls and erecting signs but the intention is to move it as soon as possible.

Habaneras competition location The 25th ‘Noche de Habaneras’ will be celebrated on the 30th June at 10.30pm. However, there will be a change of location with the choral performances taking place on the Paseo Vista Alegre rather than on the playa del Cura. Those taking the decision this year point out that the Paseo was in fact the original site for the event. However, some people are not happy with this change of venue. They suggest that moving it from its more usual location on the beach, near the sea, will spoil the atmosphere and make it less enjoyable.

materials. The pair fled and the police were called. Officers managed to quickly locate the perpetrators who had attempted to return to the site later for more of the materials they had taken apart. The two fitted the description given by the site owner and one also carried a backpack with tools used to commit the robbery. After checking the identity of the detainees, officers discovered they had numerous previous charges for similar offences.

Torrevieja still poor

The issue of Torrevieja’s financial status compared to other Spanish cities continues. Once again, it comes out bottom of the income league tables with an average income of €14,462. The statistics are provided by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística during their urban study for 2017. However, the town hall here is not impressed. A point that has frequently been made is that the statistics do not accurately reflect the peculiar nature of the town. The large number of foreigners who live here means that not all income is declared and many people’s income takes the form of pensions. A statistic which is not available to those collecting the figures. Other statistics that are of interest from the Instituto include that Benidorm has the highest service sector employment rate and is the third highest tourist town for the number of overnight stays. Benidorm has registered 15 million stays a year which places it just behind Madrid and Barcelona. Torrevieja has stubbornly remained at the bottom of the table since 2013 in spite of the fact that more cities have been added to it. Torrevieja is joined at the bottom by Fuengirola (€18,225) and Sanlúcar de Barrameda (€17,222). Fuengirola is another Spanish city with a reputation for being attractive to expat retirees.

Emergency Services Centre moves forward Orihuela’s Emergency Councillor Víctor Valverde has held a working meeting with José María Ángel Batalla, the Director General of Valencia’s Security and Emergency Response Agency. The meeting held at the L’Eliana Coordination Centre was to discuss a number of pending issues between the two administrations with a view to progressing the coastal faciltiy. Valverde, who was accompanied by technical staff from his department at Orihuela Council, asked for a full update on the Orihuela Costa Emergency Centre. He said: “We have now submitted all of the necessary modifications for the project which have been accepted by the Director General and his team’s technicians.” He also said he had offered the Director the opportunity to accommodate Valencian Services in the centre when complete.

The Councillor for Emergencies also asked for a number of training courses to be run in Orihuela. At the present time staff and volunteers from the Civil Protection groups have to travel to Valencia and Alicante to train. “Holding such courses closer to home would be far more convenient,” he explained. And added that this way personnel from across the Vega Baja could all be trained locally. Following the meeting Valverde stressed, once again, the good nature of the gathering which had been useful to both public administrations. The meeting ended with a visit to the Coordination Centre in L’Eliana, a town of 18,000 of which Batalla was a previous Mayor, where the Councillor and his staff were shown much of its operations, especially emergency call records and emergency handling files.

Theresa May could do better Spanish president Mariano Rajoy says his British counterpart’s proposals for cross-EU citizens’ rights post-Brexit was ‘not bad’, but ‘could have been better’. In one of the UK prime minister Theresa May’s first of many meetings in Brussels to discuss the country's divorce from the European Union, the Conservative leader said EU citizens who had been living in Britain for five years or more would retain 'similar rights' to those of British nationals and be allowed permanent residency. But key figures in the EU, including Donald Tusk, Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier, JeanClaude Juncker and the leaders of the club’s largest two economies other than the UK – German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French president Emmanuel Macron – are not happy. They say the details of how Brits living in the EU and Europeans living in Britain will fare after the UK leaves the Union are unclear, and Mrs May’s explanations ‘insufficient’. Tusk believes the proposals could even leave Europeans in Britain in worse position than they are now. The cut-off date for Europeans’ arrival in the UK with full free-movement rights in their hands needs to be set, and those

who have not been there for five years by the date in question could have troubled times on their hands. And this could apply to Brits living in the EU, particularly where they rely on aspects of UK policy – such as healthcare and pension-related rights – although the first impressions seem to show that European leaders will want to minimise the impact of Brexit for Britons abroad. Mariano Rajoy says he and other EU leaders need to know what the situation would be for Europeans in the UK prior to their five-year anniversary of moving there. “This is a battle that we're going to take on,” he stresses. “First and foremost, the Brexit negotiations – even though the road to Brexit will be carved out as we go along – must be that of ensuring that no Spanish or other European citizen suffers any

detriment,” the PP boss told reporters. But he admitted the meetings were only in their infancy. “And we must all congratulate ourselves for having given priority to citizens' rights – the proposals are not bad, but they could have been better,” Rajoy admitted. “For the moment, at least we know that European citizens living in the UK will not be thrown out when Brexit happens, and that those who move there prior to Brexit will be able to legalise their residency eventually.” Rajoy also recalled that other crucial aspects of the negotiations will be that of the border between Northern Ireland, which is British territory, and the Republic of Ireland, an EU member State, and the issue of the UK's financial contribution to the EU to settle its dues.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE The euro remained steady throughout the week. The combined effect of the Macron majority in France bolstering confidence and the lack of economic data meant that it saw little movement. Headlines were dominated by the initiation of the Brexit talks. While it’s too early to draw any strong conclusions, Barnier’s reiteration of the EU’s initial stance of negotiating the UK’s exit prior to negotiating any new trade bills demonstrated who holds the majority of the cards in the discussion at this point. Theresa May’s reassurance of allowing EU nationals to stay in Britain in return for a reciprocal agreement for British nationals in the Eurozone are the first signs that the initially promised ‘hard Brexit’ is unlikely to materialise and

that the UK may be willing to negotiate. Sterling has seen its tightest range against the euro since 2014; its performance against the euro was influenced heavily by domestic activity. The pound dipped after Bank of England boss Mark Carney suggested the time was not right for a UK interest rate rise, but soon recovered after he was contradicted by his chief economist colleague Andy Haldane who implied he thought last year’s rate cut should be reversed “relatively soon”. There was little movement on the eventual arrival of the Queen’s Speech but now all eyes are on whether the proposals, a third of which focus on measures to enact Brexit, are passed through parliament.

GUARDAMAR FIRE MISSES TWO VILLAS A brush fire which broke out next to the N332 in Guardamar has been successfully extinguished, confirmed fire fighters. The fire destroyed 5 hectares of scrubland and crops after it broke out at around 1.40pm on Sunday. Fire fighters engaged aerial units to help quash the flames. The fire was eventually brought under control just before 8pm that evening after members of the provincial fire brigade worked for six hours to extinguish the blaze.

The fire had started just 20 metres from the busy N332 road, next to Santa Ana industrial estate, but it had not been necessary to cut road access. At first, the fire had only damaged a small area, but windy conditions and the extreme dry land meant that the blaze soon spread. When ground units of the fire service couldn’t control the flames from the ground, a helicopter and two sea planes were engaged to drop water on the fire from above in order to prevent it

from spreading to nearby homes and the busy N332 thoroughfare. Rapid work by fire fighters from Almoradí, Torrevieja and Crevillente prevented the fire spreading to two nearby villas which, although unoccupied, could have been destroyed as the fire was spreading rapidly in that direction. The case has now been passed over to the Guardia Civil to investigate the probable source of the fire.

Pension pot too small to transfer? Think again! I

recently met with a client who had never considered a pension transfer because he had a company pension scheme and was only with his employer for 3 years. He guessed that his pension fund would be worth around 3k to 5k and not worth transferring. After contacting his company and applying for a pension transfer quotation we found out that the value of his pension fund was actually 37,000 pounds. He decided to transfer his pension and take a lump sum. Another client thought his pension was a moderate 25,000 pounds and after investigation it turned out to be worth over 90,000 pounds. I am staggered at how valuable these seemingly small pension pots are. Time and time again I see so called "small pension pots" turn out to be large pension funds. As interest rates are at an all‐ time low, transfer values are at their highest. If you have a pension fund and you have dismissed the idea of a pension transfer because you consider your fund will be too small, then please think again. Unlike some financial advisers, we do not have a minimum threshold. You may also have a lost pension that you have not pursued because you thought the pension will be "too little to bother with". I urge you to dig out any information that you have on these valuable pensions and come and see us. You may be surprised at how much they are worth. Here at Seagate we are in a unique position and can offer UK Regulated Pensions along‐side Internationally based plans, giving our clients the peace of mind that their pension is being regulated under the watchful eye of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). We will be happy to give you advice on what cash lump sum and income that you would receive if you transferred your pension.

Bush beans, also called snap beans because they "snap" when ripe, are by far the most popular homegrown beans. Tender, with a delicate taste and no strings, they are easy to grow and cook - and delicious to eat!

Below you will find 10 tips that are guaranteed to bring you the best, tastiest, and most productive bush bean crop ever: 1. Wait for warm weather Beans like warm soil, so for best germination when sowing your seeds, wait until the soil temperatures are warmer than 16° C (60° F). If you plant the seeds in cold soil, the beans will germinate very slowly leaving them vulnerable to rot and soil-borne diseases. 2. Prepare bean seeds for planting Soak them: For extra fast germination, soak the seeds in water for 30 minutes before planting, or put the seeds between two damp paper towels the night before planting. By the next day, the seeds will be swollen and ready to germinate. Inoculate them: Beans are like peas and other “nitrogen-fixing” legumes in that beans can pull nitrogen right out of the air because soil-dwelling bacteria forms nodules on their roots. But this can happen only if the soil naturally has this helpful bacteria. If the soil has no such bacteria, your beans will not do as well. So take a few minutes before you plant your seeds and inoculate them by coating them with a powdered form of rhizobium bacteria. It is a good insurance to give your seeds to ensure they grow the best they can. Even if your soil already has plenty of the nitrogen-fixing bacteria, adding some inoculant is never going to hurt anything. 3. Water properly Bush beans like a regular supply of water. That said however, beans do NOT like wet, or poorly drained soil. In order to make sure the soil drains well, and your beans do not rot, add plenty of organic matter such as compost before planting. Give the beans

regular water, and allow the plants to dry out a bit in between waterings. The only time you want the soil to be constantly damp is right after you have sown the seeds. Watering the seeds: When sowing in the spring, sow the seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep; in the hot weather of summer, sow the seeds 2 inches (5 cm) deep. Then soak the seed bed thoroughly with water, and try not to water again until the beans sprout so that the soil does not become soggy or waterlogged. If your soil tends to dry out quickly, or to form a crust, cover the seed bed with a very thin layer of mulch or compost after you plant to keep the soil surface moist and soft. This helps the bean's growing tip from breaking off as it pushes though the soil. If your soil dries out even with the mulch, do water again. Always keep sown seed beds damp. If they dry out, the seeds will die. 4. Plant bush beans very close together Bush beans do not mind being crowded and will still produce a good crop. The best reason for planting them fairly close together is you want the leaves of the plants to grow into a shade canopy that will cool the soil and stop weeds from growing. Plant bean seeds in “blocks” or rows 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) apart and do not thin when they come up. 5. Make sure to rotate Rotating your crops will help prevent a build up of these diseases at each location. 6. Keep bush beans weeded Snap beans have very shallow roots that cannot compete with weeds for water and nutrients, so try and keep your beans well weeded. 7. Bush beans like mulch

Especially here where summers are hot and dry, mulch your beans to help keep the moisture in the soil. 8. Bush beans do not like super high heat Beans will stop producing about a week after any hot spell that is over 32° C (90° F). To avoid this, either cover your bush beans with shade cloth structures to help them weather through or plant early in the spring, or towards the end of summer to miss most of the high heat days. 9. Stagger your planting Because bush beans tend to produce their beans all at once, harvest will only last about 2 weeks. By staggering your planting, it will help keep a steady supply of beans throughout the summer. 10. Keep bush beans picked Regular harvesting is the number one way to guarantee a prolonged bean harvest. You should pick your beans at least every other day, and you should pick your beans before their pods swell and fill up with seeds. When the seeds finish forming inside the pods, it sends a signal to the plant to stop growing, which is something you do not want, so keep those beans picked. Also, when beans pods get too big, they are not as tender and tasty as when they are young. Whether you call them string beans, snap beans, green beans, or bush beans, they are one of the most favoured vegetables for gardeners to grow during the summer months. They have high quality flavour, and last a long time once harvested, making them easy to handle and cook with. By following the above tips you will have even more success with your beans and that simply means more for you to eat and enjoy! Marc Vijverberg

Sizzling summer

This summer, which officially started at 6.24am last Wednesday, looks set to be a hot one across the whole of Spain with temperatures between 0.5 and 1 degree higher than the season average, especially in central and southern regions, after the hottest spring of the 21st century. A spokesperson for the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), Ana Casals, said in a press conference recently that the high temperatures experienced over the past month suggested that July, August and September would continue in a similar vein as was the case with the hot summers of 2003, 2015 and 2016. Casals also mentioned that meteorological

analysis was increasingly showing that “summer starts earlier” and that forecasts predict it to move forward by a whole day every ten years. With regard to rainfall this summer, little or no change is expected across the pensinsula, although there might be slightly less in some areas. Casals highlighted the fact that June started in normal temperatures, but that from 7th or 8th onwards temperatures started to rise much higher than normal in the south-eastern provinces, in Castilla y León and in the Ebro Valley. The intense heat continued until June 18th and temperatures remain very high for the time of year. With regard to the recent spring temperatures, she emphasised that they had been “extremely hot”, with an average temperature of 15.ºC, the warmest spring for over a half a century. March was unusually warm with an average temperature 0.9ºC above the norm, April was warmer still with average temperatures increasing by 1.9ºC, and May has been extremely warm with an average temperature 2.4ºC above the norm. The highest May temperatures were seen in Ourense with 37.6ºC, Bilbao with 36.4ºC and Granada with 37ºC. With regard to rainfall, this spring has been relatively dry with an average of only 133 litres of rain per square metre across the country, 23 percent below the average rainfall for the period between 1981 and 2010. The only regions that saw reasonable amounts of rainfall were the south-eastern part of Andalusia, the areas between Huesca and Lérida, and the southeastern part of the Valencian Community. The heaviest single day of rainfall was actually recorded in Ceuta, where 185 litres per square metre fell on April 28th, followed by Alicante with 112 litres per square metre on 13th March.

WELCOME TO LANZAROTE with Vivalia Travel Often called the "Island of Eternal Spring", Lanzaroteis the easternmost island of the Canary Islands and has a volcanic origin

Lanzarote is a Spanish island, the easternmost of the autonomous Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. It is located approximately 125 kilometres (78 miles) off the coast of Africa and 1,000 kilometres (621 miles) from the Iberian Peninsula. Covering 845.94 square kilometres (326.62 square miles), Lanzarote is the fourth-largest of the islands in the archipelago. With 141,938 inhabitants, it is the third-most populous Canary Island, after Tenerife and Gran Canaria. In the centre-west of the island is Timanfaya National Park, one of its main attractions. The capital is Arrecife.

Geography Lanzarote is located 11 kilometres (7 miles) north-east of Fuerteventura and just over 1 kilometre (0.62 miles) from Graciosa. The dimensions of the island are 60 kilometres (37 miles) from north to south and 25 kilometres (16 miles) from west to east. Lanzarote has 213 kilometres (132 miles) of coastline, of which 10 kilometres (6 miles) are sand, 16.5 kilometres (10 miles) are beach, and the remainder is rocky. Its landscape includes the mountain ranges of Famara (671 metres or 2,201 feet) in the north and Ajaches (608 metres or 1,995 feet) to the south. South of the Famara massif is the El Jable desert, which separates Famara and Montañas del Fuego. The highest peak is Peñas del Chache, rising to 670 metres (2,200 feet) above sea level. The "Tunnel of Atlantis", the largest underwater volcanic tunnel in the world, is part of the Cueva de los Verdes lava tube.

14th century. The Greek writers and philosophers Herodotus, Plato, and Plutarch described the garden of the Hesperides, a mythic orchard which some like to identify with the Canaries] The first known record came from Roman author Pliny the Elder in the encyclopaedia Naturalis Historia on an expedition to the Canary Island The names of the islands (then called Insulae Fortunatae or the "Fortunate Isles") were recorded as Junonia (Fuerteventura), Canaria (Gran Canaria), Ninguaria (Tenerife), Junonia Major (La Palma), Pluvialia (El Hierro), and Capraria (La Gomera). Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, the two easternmost Canary Islands, were only mentioned as the archipelago of the "purple islands". In 1336, a ship arrived from Lisbon under the guidance of Genoese navigator Lancelotto Malocello, who used the alias "Lanzarote da Framqua". A fort was later built in the area of Montaña de Guanapay near today's Teguise. Castilian slaving

Climate Often called the "Island of Eternal Spring" Lanzarote has a subtropical-desert climate according to the Köppen climatic classification. The small amount of precipitation is mainly concentrated in the winter. Rainfall during summer is a rare

phenomenon (there has never been any recorded rainfall in July) and several summers are completely dry without any precipitation. On average the island receives approximately 16 days of precipitation between December and February. Sometimes, the hot sirroco wind prevails, causing dry and dusty conditions across the island Average precipitation in June and August is less than 0.5 millimetres (0.020 inches). It closely borders on a tropical climate, with winter means of 18 °C (64 °F) and summer means of 25 °C (77 °F).

Geology Lanzarote is the easternmost island of the Canary Islands and has a volcanic origin. It was born through fiery eruptions and has solidified lava streams as well as extravagant rock formations. The island emerged about 15 million years ago as product of the Canary hotspot. The island, along with others, emerged after the breakup of the African and the American continental plates. The greatest recorded eruptions occurred between 1730 and 1736 in the area now designated Timanfaya National Park.

History Lanzarote is believed to have been the first Canary Island to be settled. The Phoenicians may have settled there around 1100 BC, though no material evidence survives. Around 1000 BC, it was settled by the Guanches, who remained there until their extinction by Spanish colonialism and the slave trade in the

expeditions in 1385 and 1393 seized hundreds of Guanches and sold them in Spain, initiating the slave trade in the islands. French explorer Jean de Béthencourt arrived in 1402, heading a private expedition under Castilian auspices. Bethencourt first visited the south of Lanzarote at Playas de Papagayo, and the French overran the island within a matter of months. The island lacked mountains and gorges to serve as hideouts for the remaining Guanche population, and so many Guanches were taken away as slaves that only 300 Guanche men were said to have remained. At the southern end of the Yaiza municipality, the first European settlement in the Canary Islands appeared in 1402 in the area known as El Rubicón, where the conquest of the Archipelago began. In this place, the Cathedral of Saint Martial of Limoges was built. The cathedral was destroyed by English pirates in the 16th century. A diocese was moved in 1483 to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria . In 1404, the Castilians came and fought the local Guanches, who were further decimated. The islands of Fuerteventura and El Hierro were later similarly conquered. In 1477, a decision by the royal council of Castile confirmed a grant of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, with the smaller islands of Ferro and Gomera to the Castilian nobles Herrera, who held their fief until the end of the 18th century. In 1585, the Ottoman admiral Murat Reis temporarily seized Lanzarote From 1730 to 1736, the island was hit by a series of volcanic eruptions, producing 32 new volcanoes in a stretch of 18 kilometres (11 miles). The minister of Yaiza, Don Andrés Lorenzo Curbelo, documented the eruption in detail until 1731. Lava covered a quarter of the island's surface, including the most fertile soil and 11 villages. 100 smaller volcanoes were located in the area called Montañas del Fuego, the "Mountains of Fire". In 1768, drought affected the deforested island, and winter rains did not fall. Much of the population was forced to emigrate to Cuba and the Americas, including a group which formed a significant addition to the Spanish settlers in Texas at San Antonio de Bexar in 1731. Another volcanic eruption occurred within the range of Tiagua in 1824, which was less violent than the major eruption between 1730 and 1736.

It is familiar to local divers as it sunk to a relatively shallow depth of 4 metres. The wreck is interesting not just for the boat itself but for its cargo. It carried

a large number of tiles that were made in Alicante between 1917 and 1921. Research is also trying to establish whether the ship itself was one built during the last decades of the 19th century in Torrevieja’s shipyards. The boats built in Torrevieja were dedicated to the salt trade and the wreck is interesting as a historical reminder of this heritage. If it does turn out that this boat was built prior to 2017, then it becomes of additional archaeological interest.

Notable artefacts Anchors are one of the main items that surveys such as this uncover. So far they have found three Admiralty Anchors of considerable size off the la Mata beach. It is believed that the anchors date back to between the 17th and 19th centuries and they can provide useful information about local moorings. A number of ceramic items have been recovered, the dates of which vary from ancient times to the present. Locating and recovering these underwater treasures can be difficult in the area because the coast is considered to be exposed with little or no shelter from the easterly winds. This can make field work challenging and is also complicated by poor visibility. However, it is worth persevering as Torrevieja has a rich history of salt production and industry. Local historians are keen to preserve this legacy and items recovered will be housed in the museums of Guardamar, Rojales and Callosa de Segura. Suzanne O’Connell

Silly talk My youngest daughter keeps on saying every other word, ‘like‘, and ’this random guy’ and ‘everything is amazing‘. Also she says, ’I’m not being funny but…’, and it drives me mad. She copies her friends who pull stupid faces, and don’t seem to have a brain cell between them. I keep on to her to drop this silly behaviour. I tell her it‘s lazy and stupid and she hasn’t been brought up this way. She has also started chewing gum constantly.

I am afraid when youngsters mix in crowds regularly, they can end up looking the same, using the same language, and taking on the same habits etc. It sounds like a phase, which hopefully she will grow out of. Give it time, and try to ignore it and it should go away by itself when she moves on in life and meets new people. The more you keep on, the more she is likely to rebel.

Why can’t she live within her means? My partner’s daughter is 26 and lives with us in my house. She has a part time job and won’t take on any more hours at work although they are offered to her. Her credit and store cards are up to their limit. She pays no keep to us and does nothing to help around the house. Her dad feels obliged to help her out with money which gets me very angry, and it’s ruining our relationship. I tried to have a civil conversation with her the other day about budgeting, but she went ballistic and told her dad, whose solution was to pay for her to get her nails done!

There’s no future in this. Sit your partner down and have a serious conversation about everyone’s future under your roof. There was no harm in talking to his daughter about living within her means, and rewarding bad behaviour is definitely a no no. If she wants to live with you, things need to change. I think because the house is yours, you have the right to make some demands here.

San Juan celebrated in style some cases the beach became a family’s front room with dining tables, chairs and all manner of kitchenware set up for the long evening ahead. In other cases a towel and a bottle of water was enough. Fire is crucial to this midsummer eve ritual. The idea is that by jumping over the flames you rid yourself of the bad things from the year before. Following the purifying ritual, the tradition is to the jump in the sea. Not a bad idea with the current high temperatures. The day itself had logged around 30º C and the evening’s temperature didn’t drop much below 26ºC.

If you were finding it a bit nippy on Friday 23rd June then there was plenty of opportunity to warm yourself up around one of the hundreds of bonfires lit to mark San Juan. All around the region families flocked to the beach to eat, drink and occasionally jump over the impromptu bonfires that mark this longest night of the year. Torrevieja was no exception and the two beaches of El Cura and Los Náufragos were full of people from early evening until Saturday morning enjoying the atmosphere of this unusual event. In

Perhaps what seems surprising is that in spite of the bonfires and the antics of some of the young people, there aren’t more injuries during this very spontaneous event. The local police and volunteers are out but there is little evidence of the need for their services. Instead of it being a night that deteriorates into drunken disorder, it’s one of good humour and optimism. What is needed though is a clear-up operation as soon as possible on Saturday morning. It’s a tight call between the last of the revellers moving on and the first of the early morning risers taking to the sea for their swim. Suzanne O’Connell

What to do if you spot a loggerhead Loggerhead turtles are an endangered species that occasionally make an appearance on the Spanish coastline. On Thursday 22nd June a large turtle was spotted between 8pm and 8.30pm off the beach of Los Náufragos. It was seen by some bathers at the time but turned around and swam back out to sea. It was probably put off by the number of people around. This unusual event signals that the turtles are currently looking for nesting areas and people should be very aware of how to treat them if they should encounter one seeking a place to lay their eggs. It would be likely that this would happen at night or early morning, which is the usual time that the turtles nest. If you should see one, the first step is to call 112 immediately followed by the Local Police. The turtle must be left alone and not touched. It is vital it isn’t disturbed whist on the beach or trying to lay its eggs. Stay out of site of the turtle and don’t shine a light on it. Don’t use flash photography but do remain in the area until

Y the specialists arrive. We are expecting that during the next few months the turtles will try to spawn on some Spanish beaches. There have been a few success stories from previous years when turtle eggs have been helped to hatch in the area. In July 2015 a nest of eggs was located on La Mata beach near to a beach bar

and other busy venues. A number of local volunteers helped in the task of watching over the turtle eggs until they hatched. Some of the eggs were also removed and taken to the Oceanográfic in Valencia to ensure the survival of as many of them as possible. The loggerhead turtles are a threatened species. They have suffered as a result of pollution and fishing and are not easily replaced. It takes around 20 to 30 years before they are able to reproduce. The turtles need everyone’s vigilance and care to make sure they continue to have a place on our shores. Suzanne O’Connell

ou’ve decided that you’re ready to list your property on the market for sale. Yaaaay! But do you know how much your selling costs are? Boooooo! Don’t worry, because they can be less than you think! Yaaaay! I’ve heard this week, some of you have been quoted high taxes and general selling expenses, which were completely untrue. I’ve heard of Chinese whispers, but I think sometimes, figures can become over-exaggerated when spoken about. I’m going to talk loud, and drown out those Chinese whispers once and for all! Here’s a SHORT list of selling expenses: 1. If you are a non-resident of Spain (i.e. do not complete a Spanish tax return as a resident) then you are obligated to leave with the Spanish Inland Revenue, 3% of the sale price, on the day of completion. This is held on account, to cover any Capital Gains that may be due. If no tax is due, then the Inland Revenue will refund this 3% to you at a later date. If some tax is due, then they will refund a portion, and if you

must pay tax, then you should not expect a refund. On experience, refunds have been made from anywhere between 3 months after a sale has completed, to 18 months and in some unfortunate cases, it has taken a little longer. It is not held on account to pay for any unpaid utility bills. 2. Plusvalia. This is a tax payable to the local Town Hall, of which is an increase in the land value, from the time when you originally purchased your property, to the time when you sell. This is a bit of a delicate subject right now, as a new law has just been passed stating that if there is no increase in value, then no Plus Valia tax is payable. Please bear this in mind, as I’m sure you’ll agree with me when I say, if they can find a way of keeping the values up, in order to keep charging this tax, then I’m sure they will. 3. Real Estate Agents commission. In general they can range between 3% to 10%, and even more in some cases. When choosing a professional to help sell your property, then find someone that brings value to you. Meaning, they know what they’re doing! When selling your home, it is customary that the buyer pays the Notary Fees, as you would have paid this when you originally bought the home, however if you are selling to Spanish citizens, they usually like to go halves with the seller, making this a 50/50 between both parties. It’s not a pain to sell in Spain, just keep clear, of the rumours you hear! Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough!

June 27th - 3rd July Welcome back to the Summer gig guide. Since I last spoke to you many things have changed, including lots of new and very talented acts who have found their way to the Costa Blanca. We start off on Tuesday with the return of the phenomenal international Phil Collins Tribute, Rob Lewis (Stars in Their Eyes Finalist) who will be taking centre stage at Villamartin Plaza. This lively act has been enthralling audiences all over the world and amazing them with his sound alike show. Demand for him has been so high that he has now had to have a rerun made of his 17 track cd. A new act to our area is the marvellous Benidorm Tina. Usually to be found doing her residency at Benidorm’s Showboat , I have managed to get some dates from her so that we can enjoy “Proud Mary”, “Steamy Windows” and many more of Tina’s hits. She will be at Dunbars in Gran Alacant (by the BBVA bank) on Thursday and then on Saturday at El Rey, in Balsicas, Murcia. This lady is a great entertainer. One of the new venues to start its summer entertainment is The Boston Tavern in Torre Blanca. You can see some great acts in there 4 times a week including Steve The Entertainer, Flamenco, Johnny Scott and a different act every Saturday from 8pm. Host David is also very popular for his very tasty food and drinks. Handy for a bit of a chill after doing some shopping in the local supermarket which is just across the car park If you love a pool party, you can’t do better than Saturdays from 2pm at Camping Los Florantilles (on the Los Montesinos Road near San Miguel). They recently held a fundraiser for the AECC cancer charity and with the help of the many local entertainers, raised over 1100 Euros. Martin intends to keep up the good work and has some fantastic acts at the weekends all year long. Watch this space! As always, if you would like your events listed, please email me full details in plenty of time please to letsrockshowslive@gmail.com.

XIII Medieval Market - La Nucía - 7, 8 and 9 July In the beginning of July La Nucía will be holding its increasingly well-known Medieval Market again. Since 2005 the old town centre is going back to its medieval roots in the weekend nearest to the 9th of July. So, this year, on the 7th, 8th and 9th, almost 60 craftsmen and women have booked stands with Amata, the craft association organising the event. Amata has also invited music and street theatre groups, dancers and acrobats, as well as several craft demonstrators to liven up the market. The square in front of the Town Hall and the streets behind will be filled with really interesting craft stands selling ceramics, leather bags, belts and shoes, glass, designer jewellery, carved and turned wood, carved stone, soap and perfume, patchwork and a lot more. In the food section there will be stands selling sausages, cheese, roast almonds and peanuts, bread straight from the wood oven, as well as a medieval tavern (roasting a whole pig on a spit) and a tent with Arab food. To complete the medieval setting, troubadours, story

tellers, falconers, people on stilts, buffoons and other typical characters of the era wander from time to time through the streets. You can even encounter gaggle of geese! Children and young

people can take a ride on a small merry-go-round or on a pony, have a try at pottery or making a sheet of paper, or play medieval table games. There is juggling, belly dancing and aerial acrobatics and the market closes every night with a spectacular fire show. Amata is a craft association which tries to ensure that the only participants in the market

are those who make all the material they sell - there's nothing imported and nothing is made in small (or big!) factories. Amata and La Nucía Town Hall see eye to eye on this matter; there are far too many organisers setting up socalled medieval markets that are little more than pound shops in historic clothing. The craft tradition is tending to slowly disappear in Spain, which is why Amata has coined the term "artesanía de autor" to describe its unusual markets, roughly translated as "craft work made and sold by the craftsmen himself". The Market will be set up in the old town centre there is plenty of parking space in the (free) underground parking of les Nits, or the open air parking at the back of the village, both just 100 yards from the market. The fun starts at six on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening (7, 8 and 9 July) and goes on till late at night. For more information phone 639 979 678 (English spoken). La Nucía is approximately an hour and twenty minutes’ drive from Torrevieja, heading north on the AP7.

Street vendors in the dock

A judge has condemned street sellers who became aggressive towards the police during conflicts in 2013. Four years after it took place, the incident finally came to court. In a bid to tackle the problem of illegal street sellers, the situation turned nasty in June 2013 when some of those being challenged turned against the police, injuring seven of them. Some of the street vendors threw chairs and assaulted the police during heated incidents on the front in Torrevieja. In the trial this week, some vendors were given nine months in prison and ordered to pay damages to the police officers. Not everyone involved was in the dock, however. Two or three of the defendants were no longer available to answer charges; such is the length of time since the incident took place. The men, mostly from Senegal, had come into conflict with the police during an attempt to remove them from the paseos in the summer season. Three of those involved did receive their punish-

ment in court number 2 in Torrevieja. Many more either avoided arrest at the time or have disappeared since. The men were operating illegally without the proper licences on the Paseo Juan Aparicio. The police officers approached them and a skirmish began which led to increasing violence. Plastic and aluminium chairs were thrown from the nearby terraces of bars and cafes. Several police officers were hit and there was some damage to nearby vehicles. The damages awarded range from €150 to €400 for each officer who was affected. The incident led to mounting friction between the police and the Senegalese community and resulted in the introduction of surveillance devices. However, the problem of illegal street sellers continues and without any real solution it is perhaps surprising that violence doesn’t erupt more often. Suzanne O’Connell

PSYCHIC ART

Psychic art is a form of communication with spirit which is a wonderful and creative form of medium ship. People are now realising that you don’t have to be a fantastic artist to practice in this way. All you have to do is trust in your spirit guide, let your inhibitions go, and just see what happens. Believe me, it works! My psychic art features on the Rescue Mediums Show. To give you an insight of how this is done, I open up as usual to the spirit world and ask my drawing guide Ruby to work through me to give me clues as to what I am about to find during our psychic investigation. My main aim when asking for this information is that we help the homeowners, as well as those poor souls who are stuck on a different vibration. It is our job as Rescue Mediums, to help them to reach their final destination by sending them towards the light. I rest my pencil on the page with these thoughts, and Ruby draws through me. I never know what I am drawing until I see the finished product. Sometimes my drawings are done with my eyes shut, other times with them open, but they are always created with the right intent. I make no bones about the fact that I

am not the best artist in the world, but that doesn’t matter. Your spirit guide will give you messages from the spirit world if you ask them to work through you creatively. On the show my drawings help to uncover the mysteries behind the incidents occurring in the homes we visit. Each of my drawings are given a title which are indicative of the story that will eventually unfold. Examples of some of the drawings I have already done for the last season of the show, is a drowning, which was a male spirit in turmoil, who we sent over to the light. Toys and balloons, which led us to a certain area in the house where we did

the rescue, also giving us definitive clues about a spirit child who needed rescuing, a diagram of a room within the house, and a pied piper-type figure drawn with children around him. This character turned out to be a male spirit who was protecting spirit children who were stuck between two worlds due to a portal that had been opened from the use of an Ouija board. The male spirit assisted in sending those little ones over to the spirit world and once this had been done, we closed the portal. I never doubt the information given to me by Ruby, who is my inspiration, and I feel honoured that she is working through me in such a unique way.

THE KEY TO A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP Before you drift off to sleep each night, there’s a good chance you slide into a familiar position. Maybe you roll over to your right side and pull your knees into your chest, or perhaps you lie flat on your back, arms at your sides as if you’re in “corpse pose” at the end of a yoga class. While you may think this pre-sleep move is simply your way of getting comfy, experts say it can actually tell you a lot about your personality - and your health. Robert Phipps, a body language expert in England, conducted a survey for a popular U.K. budget hotel chain and found a connection between certain sleeping positions and psychological characteristics (think of it like a horoscope of sleep positions). And Chris Idzikowski, another British researcher and director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service, conducted similar research - and found comparable results. While some sleep experts scoff at the broad-sweeping connections Phipps and Idzikowski have claimed, what you can look at is the more widely studied physiological issues that can result from sleeping in certain positions, says Rachel Salas, MD, assistant medical director for the Johns Hopkins Center for Sleep. “There are a number of physical issues that can pop up as a result of sleeping in the same position on a regular basis,” she says. Here’s a look at the three most common sleeping positions, what they could be saying about your personality and health, and how to make little tweaks to wake up more refreshed. If you sleep on ... your side Your sleep-o-scope: Curl up in the foetal position and it could mean you're a worrier, according to Phipps' survey. You may also be tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. If you sleep with both arms stretched out in front of you, you've likely got an open nature—but you also may be yearning for more in life, ready to conquer everything life throws your way. Your potential health woes: Side-sleeping can cause nerve compression in the arms and legs, which can lead to chronic pain, says Salas. Research also shows that acid reflux can worsen when you sleep on your side, particularly if you tend to roll onto your right side. “To combat these issues, sleep next to a body pillow, says Salas, to help support your back and neck. You might also try sleeping with a thin pillow between your knees to give your back extra support.” If you sleep on ... your back Your sleep-o-scope: Sleeping like a log body straight, arms beside you - can indicate that you’re inflexible and rigid, according to Phipps, with a tendency to be bossy, stubborn, and set in your ways. But if your arms drift above your head, there’s a good chance you’re always ready to listen to and help others, making you a great friend. Your potential health woes: While back sleeping is actually great for those with back or neck pain (it aligns your spine and puts minimal pressure on the nerves in your extremities, says Salas), it can make you more prone to snoring and sleep apnoea - two conditions that can be annoying to bed partners at best and detrimental to your health at worst. Sleeping on your back can also make acid reflux worse, keeping you awake throughout the night. Try propping yourself up with an extra pillow under your head, says Salas,

if you’re dealing with acid reflux or snoring.

If you sleep on ... your stomach Your sleep-o-scope: If you like to drift off face-down with your arms outstretched (Phipps coined this position ‘the freefaller’) it could mean that you often feel like you don’t have much control over what happens in your life or that you’re just hanging on for the ride. If this is the case, you may wake up feeling anxious or worried about your to-dos. Your potential health woes: Due to the fact that most beds aren’t built like massage tables with holes for us to breathe so that we can keep our neck in line with our spine, it means you likely sleep with your neck turned to one side or another. The result? “This causes a great deal of neck strain that can lead to muscle spasms and chronic pain issues,” says Salas. The solution: Train yourself to sleep on your side or back, she says, as the neck extension that's required to breathe easily is just too extreme on the body. TOP TIPS FOR A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP: Set your alarm same time each day Set your alarm for 7am. Don’t be tempted to lie in, even if you had a late night. Getting up at the same time each day (and going to bed at roughly the same time each night), helps programme your body to sleep better. Ban screens from the bedroom Artificial blue light from screens affects the body’s internal clock and acts as a stimulant. Switch off the TV and don’t use laptops, smartphone or tablet computers an hour before bed. Have a milky drink The calcium in milk helps your body to process tryptophan, an amino acid that manufactures sleep-triggering melatonin, while the routine of actually making the drink lets your brain know it’s time for sleep. Workout early evening Exercise (enough to get hot and sweaty) helps relieve stress and releases feel-good chemicals. The best time to work-out is between 4-7pm. Any later and your body temperature and adrenaline levels will be too high. In order to feel sleepy, your body temperature needs to be dropping.

Check the temperature Your bedroom should be comfortably cool, around 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Celsius). If you feel hot, switch to a lighter duvet or sleep with the window open. It it’s too cold, your body won’t be able to relax as it has to work hard to protect its core temperature. Block out the noise If you have problems dropping off but tend to sleep well once you do, try wearing ear plugs. Research shows that unfamiliar sounds during the first and last two hours of sleep can suppress immune system function, even if you don’t wake up.

Change your mattress It’s hard to enjoy a good night’s sleep on a mattress that’s too soft or too hard. Experts at The Sleep Council in the UK recommend buying a new mattress after seven years - which equates to more than 20,000 hours of use.

Write down your worries If you’re going through a difficult time or are busy at work, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Try writing down your worries or making a list of things you need to do. Once you’ve written the list, put it away. Keep going over things won’t help.

Cut back on caffeine Don’t drink tea or coffee after 2.00pm. Both are stimulants which interfere with the process of falling asleep. Six hours after your last cup of coffee, half the caffeine will still be in your system. Remember that cola and energy drinks contain caffeine too.

Don’t lie awake worrying If you’ve been awake for a while it’s better to get up and do something rather than lie there worrying that you can’t sleep. Go to another room or read a book (nothing work related) until you feel sleepy again.

Don’t drink alcohol Alcohol makes it easier to fall asleep initially but results in poorer quality of sleep. Studies suggest that having a drink before bed will cause you to wake up every 90 minutes or so throughout the night. Quit smoking Research shows that smokers take longer to fall asleep and have more disrupted sleep once they do. Supplements to try Hop extract acts as a mild sedative and may help those with busy lives who find it hard to “switch off” at night. You might also like to try magnesium. Known as nature’s tranquilliser, it has a calming effect on the body and may help if you suffer from cramps at night.

Switch off Try relaxing each body part in turn. Lie on your back, then tense and relax your toes, saying ‘goodnight’ to them, then your calves, legs and so on. Once you get to your head, visualise going into your ‘control room’ and flicking off switches to various parts of your body. Eat a banana Bananas contain tryptophan which stimulates the production of melatonin and serotonin in the brain. They also contain magnesium, a natural muscle relaxant.

Think in images, not words While trying to fall asleep, think in images, not in words. It’s impossible to clear your mind of all thoughts. But it’s somewhat easy to switch off the language centre of the brain. What happens after that is a flow of images, starting with ones that make some sense to your current life, quickly followed by randomness, then sleep. It usually takes less than a minute. Take deep breaths Worried about the next day early morning meeting with your client in office? Take a deep breath and relax. Not only will it prevent snoring, but it provides more oxygenation, so you can take those deep breaths that help to relax the body and eventually make you fall asleep faster. Eat breakfast within one hour of waking Not only should your sleeping be on a regular schedule, but so should your eating. Breakfast resets your body clock, much like sunlight.

Hide your alarm clock Knowing that you have to get up in a few hours will make you feel anxious, and less able to relax. Don’t watch the minutes go by - hide the alarm clock and you’re more likely to nod off. Take a bath Enjoy a long, hot soak in the tub an hour or so before bedtime. The warm water will help to relax you. Add lavender or lilac-scented bath oil to reduce stress and promote relaxation.

Dim the lights Bright light will wake you up. Dim the lights 30 minutes before bed and don’t switch on the main light (use a low-level night light) if you need to go the toilet during the night.

Invest in a pair of noise-cancelling headphones Put on your own personal sleep soundtrack and block out everything else. They give the sensation that the sounds are being played right in your skull - making it easy to focus on the music and not your wayward thoughts. Learn to relax If thoughts of the day make it hard to drop off, try listening to relaxing music, meditating or doing some gentle yoga before bed.

Breaking up with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) leaves Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) over 40 and single again. Feeling that she has everything under control, Jones decides to focus on her career as a top news producer. Suddenly, her love life comes back from the dead when she meets a dashing and handsome American named Jack (Patrick Dempsey). Things couldn’t be better, until Bridget discovers that she is pregnant. Now, the befuddled mom-to-be must figure out if the proud papa is Mark or Jack.

Mr Right 9.00pm - Sky Movies Premiere Hyperactive at the best of times, Martha (Anna Kendrick) has gone full-on manic since her latest breakup. She babbles, parties like a monster, cooks everything in sight - and is looking to do something terrible when she meets Francis (Sam Rockwell).

More 4

ITV4

TV PICK

BBC 2 10.30pm Ripper Street

To anyone else, Francis’s approach would come across as creepy, but Martha can’t help but be intrigued. They seem a perfect match: she’s bananas, he’s bananas ... except he’s a deadly sort of bananas. He’s a professional assassin. Francis is a hitman with a cause: he unexpectedly kills the people ordering the hits. Just as Martha begins to realize her new beau wasn’t joking when he said he had to step out for a moment to shoot someone, things start heating up for Francis. His services are solicited by a dubious client who’s being sought by an equally dubious FBI agent (Tim Roth). As the bodies pile up, Martha needs to decide whether to flee or join in the mayhem.

The new series follows on from the tragic ending of season four, which saw Susan forced to give up her child in order to fake her death and escape being hung for her crimes. Picking up in the summer of 1897 with Queen Victoria celebrating her diamond jubilee, Reid, who has retired from his detective work, finds himself drawn back to Whitechapel after discovering that an old friend is set to hang for a brutal murder he’s convinced he hasn’t committed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor You have recently written two articles about the intentions of the Orihuela Costa council to clean roads and green areas, also you set out the interview with Councillor Boné. CALLE HITA,PLAYA FLAMENCA is a road used by people going to La Zenia Boulevard and on Saturdays by market traders and people going to the market. Last year the Council cleared a strip of waste ground at the end of Calle Hita but did not clear the road or green area. I understand from our President that she contacted the Council in October to get our road cleaned but nothing has been done. When in early May the Council indicated about road and green area cleaning I emailed the Council asking that we are not forgotten this year No response was received About 10 days later I sent a further email marking it for

the attention of Councillor Boné with photos (copies of these are attached) again. No response and no cleaning. It would appear all the Council want is publicity but no action. Keith.E.Newman Vice President Community Villas San Jose I Phase IV

State of Cala Estaca And Cala Mosca, Playa Flamenca Beaches Dear Sir/Madam, I have been coming to the above beaches since 2001 and got such a shock when I arrived this week to see the rocky state of both beaches. I am a keen swimmer but I don't know how anyone

could negotiate their way into the water on both beaches! The rocks extend well out even to a swimmer's depth. It is almost literally impossible for anyone to SAFELY enter the water! And to think these beaches have been awarded BLUE FLAG status (or so I believe)!!!. I have not had the opportunity of checking other beaches in the area; I hope for the sake of the local tourist industry theY intend to get something done about the state of the beaches, as the summer season is now here! I have not read anything in the local media about this problem. It's about time it is highlighted. Yours, A concerned swimmer. Hi guys! I hope you will print this or do a story on this?? My name is Robert Bonovox!! Up until two years ago I lived here in torrevieja! Quite a successful entertainer singer!! I love Spain and will always be grateful to her and the wonderful people here!! I come back every year for a couple of months on a working holiday!! I have always enjoyed my time here!! I love watching people old and young enjoying themselves!! The bars and restaurants are wonderful!! But why oh why do the police (government) make it so hard for them to earn a living??? Just this last week they

have stopped any live entertainment at the beach bars in Punta Prima!! I had always a packed bar dancing singing loving it!! People booking holidays just to come see us at the beach!! While I understand volume and swearing was involved why not just ask them to turn down and stop swearing!!?? The bar we did was right at the end of the beach. Interferes with no one. Can’t be heard anywhere and has had music for years without a problem. Last night I did a three bar show in La Marina outside on an urbanisation. No problem!! I loved the beach shows such a beautiful place and a wonderful advert for this fantastic country!!! Over the years we have raised thousands for local charities! My way of paying the country back!! This is a plea from the heart!! Yes!! Keep a watchful eye and yes some places are near housing!! But beach bars in the afternoons???? Me?? I'm gutted!!! Just a little understanding - give the country a chance?? PLEASE!! Rob Bonovox

POETS’ CORNER INFERNO The cladding wasn't fireproof No sprinklers to react A tower block engulfed in flames A building quickly blacked And what of all the people? Their cries of help, their screams The lucky ones were rescued The remainder's prayers, just dreams And services were stretched so far Impossible to cope As time went by and flames licked sky There wasn't any hope And in the morning daylight The building looked grotesque Black eyes that once were windows Staring deathly arabesque And those who managed to escape So glad to be alive Need answers to the questions As nobody should have died But the finger points and moves along Nobody there to blame It all comes down to money And will always be the same. The End by David Whitney c 2017

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.gofund me.com/w48en-tashas-mitochondrialtreatment • 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:

David English (EECCH) presents Tasha and Andy with €729 from the “Give a Euro, Save a Life” appeal

UPDATES So far, Andy has raised €16,713 of the target. We will update readers on how the campaign stands. There was a welcome boost to the coffers in early June where Andy got on his bike for a sponsored cycle from Benidorm to La Marina. Andy said: “It was torture, I haven’t been on a bicycle in 20 years and with working and being Tasha’s carer, I haven’t had any training – but what I suffered is nothing compared to what Tasha goes through every day. Andys bike ride raised 9,635.”

Ten Spanish cities where the tapas are free and flowing Arguably one of Spain’s most significant contributions to global gastronomy, the tapa comes in all shapes and sizes, from the humble olive or a few potato crisps all the way through to miniature banquets. The pincho, the tapa’s larger and more elaborate cousin, is to be found in the Basque Country, and most notably San Sebastián. The price of a tapa or pincho varies: some are offered free with a caña of beer or a glass of wine, and others are charged for separately. Below are 10 Spanish cities where tapas are offered free with drinks. Alcalá de Henares A visit to the historic town of Alcalá de Henares, the birthplace of Cervantes and just half-an-hour from central Madrid, is not complete without taking in a tapa or two in the old quarter. Here,any number of bars will be happy to provide you with a free munch. There are Patatasbravas (fried potato with hot sauce), huevosestrellados (fried eggs on a bed of crispy French fries), a humble sandwich mixto (toasted cheese and ham), hamburgers, and a wide variety of bocadillos (filled bread rolls). Among the hot spots are Índalo, El Tapón, or Maimónides. The price of a beer in these places is around €2.80, which is at the pricier end of the scale, but the generous tapas more than make up for it. Ávila The tradition in Spain’s highest city – and one of its coldest – is for customers in bars to choose their own free pincho, making it important to know what to ask for, and where to ask for it. Which means patatasrevolconas (mashed potato mixed with paprika and chunks of crispy pork

belly) in Barbacana in the old market, or pig’s ears, snouts and much more in El Rincón, next to the town hall. Nearby, stewed wild boar can be found in Gredos, or chorizo mincemeat in Don Camilo. For a divine (this is the birthplace of Saint Teresa) tortilla de patata (Spanish omelet) try El Rincón de Jabugo in San Segundo street, opposite the cathedral. The house specialty at Las Cancelas, in Cruz Viejastreet, is the tapa de la alegría, skewered kidneys with potato. The price of a beer here is between €1.20 and €1.90. Almería A wander through the old quarter of this Andalusian port city yields a plethora of bars offering abundant and free tapas with each drink, which typically costs around €2. El Bonillo, popular with locals since time immemorial, has delicious patatas a la brava, while the recently opened Bella Ciao has remojón, a broth made from dried tomatoes and hot peppers, typically with salt cod. Tío Tom, in the nearby Zapillo neighbourhood, is popular for its generous tapas. Badajoz Badajoz, on the Portuguese border, is one of Spain’s tapa capitals. Most bars provide something to munch on with the beer and wine they serve, but there are three neighbourhoods particularly worth noting: Valdepasillas, San Roque, and Santa María de la Cabeza. The latter manages to bring together, in equal parts, low prices and large portions (fried potatoes, chicken wings, pasties…) La Roca (Ricardo Carapeto street) the venerable La Corchuela (Meléndez Valdes

street), Bar Manolo (Muñoz Torrero street), or Mehtura (Jacinta García Hernández street) are just a few of the bars where beer tastes better with higadillos (chopped liver), mashed tomatoes, prueba de matanza (chorizo mincemeat), panceta (fried belly pork), or fried eggs with chorizo. Beers cost around €1.20. Granada As if the Alhambra weren’t enough, Granada also offers the visitor a warm welcome, masses of culture, and perhaps

or wine are to be found on Arco del Consuelo, a narrow street a stone’s throw from the cathedral. Try Casa Gorrión or La Manchega. Close by is La Barra, on Cerón street, where the house specialty is morcilla (black pudding) with migas (chunky bread crumbs lightly fried in olive oil and garlic). There are also free tapas to be had a couple of hundred meters away in the streets around the church of San Ildefonso in bars such as El perol de la abuela, as well as in the Gran Bulevar, near the railway station, such as Tito Nono (Cataluña street), which also serves reasonably priced larger portions, known as raciones. The typical price of a beer is between €1.30 and €1.50.

most importantly, very generous tapas: three or four are usually enough for a meal. Just about every bar in the city competes to provide the best or the most abundant. One of the best areas is around the bullring and the Realejoneighborhood. You can get a taste of what’s on offer at Antigualla II (Elvira street), El Pesaor (PíoBaroja street), Bodegas Castañeda (Almiceros street), or Los Pescadores (Dr.ParejaYébenes street). Prices for a drink range from €1.80 and €2.20.

León The bars of this bustling northern city have a long tradition of serving free tapas with wine or beer, and going out for a drink usually means eating as well. The best place to head is the old quarter, with its Romántico and Húmedo neighbourhoods. Among the top tapas spots are Ribera, famous for its potatoes, Flandes for boiled ham, or the morcilla at La Bicha. Then there is el Miche, el Llar, and La Trébede, all of them classics. For something newer and trendier, try Camarote Madrid, Monalisa, Flechazo, Gaia, and El Patio. Beers tend to cost around €1.60, with wines a little pricier at around €2.

Jaén In Jaén, tapas meanstascas, and the historic centre of the city is filled with these revered bars, which seem to have been here since the dawn of time. The best places for a free feed with your beer

Salamanca Perhaps because of its huge student population, the price of a beer and a generous pincho in Salamanca is still less than €2. Pork is the raw material here, in all its varieties: Guijuelo cured ham, jeta

(cheek), pinchomoruno (skewered pork chunks), or farinato sausage from nearby Ciudad Rodrigo. The best areas for tapas are the old quarter and Van Dyck. The morcilla with caramelized onions is a must at El Bardo, as are the pinchosmorunos and patatasmeneás (mashed, with paprika and crispy pork belly) at the Café Real, while the Mesón Cervantes has a wide variety of different tortillas. Bambú is the place to try a local delicacy, chanfainasalamantina: stewed rice with lambs’ trotters, cumin, and paprika. Segovia A beer with an unstinting pincho is a must when going out for a beer with friends in Segovia. Just about every bar in this historic city, particularly around the main square next to the cathedral and the nearby Infanta Isabel street, which is lined with bars. Among the essential stop offs on the tapa trail are bars such as San Miguel, Los Tarines, or Duque. Beers come in at around €1.20. Vigo This Galician port city is known for the abundance and quality of its tapas, and a couple of beers or locally produced albariño wines will usually yield enough nibbles that you won’t need to eat afterwards. Try A Mina, a newish place that relies on favorites such as mussels. The Bouzas area is filled with old bars, along with newer establishments such as Patouro, which uses seasonal products such as mushrooms in autumn. Imperial, on Colombia street, has imported beers and generous portions of tapas. Most bars charge around €1.70 for a beer or a glass of wine.

How loyalty apps can increase restaurant revenue Many restaurant owners are realising the benefits of loyalty programs when trying to expand and retain their customer base. Participation in these programs, especially since they have gone online and mobile, has risen. Before the advent of mobile apps, most restaurants used punch or stamp cards, which required their patrons to have something physical on them at all times, and in reality, did little for the restaurants, and a lot for the consumer. With a personalised loyalty app, you have an interactive platform to share with clients, the ability to update and share menus, take bookings, and send reminders of offers geared directly towards those in your loyalty network. The investment is smaller, and, yes, the audience is smaller, but the audience is also ready and willing to receive the message. The people who opt-in to a restaurant’s loyalty program are those who want to hear your updates and receive those offers, and they’re the ones who are

going to use them. Loyalty apps increase sales With your restaurant’s own app, you can now remind customers about your great menu, your summer specials, or offer incentives like a free bottle of wine with every meal for two. Often, all consumers need to see is the name of a restaurant around the time they are trying to decide

what to have for dinner, and they will be inspired to choose that restaurant. That is why there is an increase in food-service related adverts late in the day. Loyalty apps can implement this same strategy, by sending offers and promotional information later in the afternoon. Loyalty apps bring repeat business A loyalty app can turn an occasional patron into a frequent diner. When a customer gets the

offers, vouchers or points right on their phone, thoughts of other places to eat will be pushed from their mind, and your restaurant will be pulled to the forefront. Many consumers are especially preoccupied with the idea of value, and when you make it valuable for a consumer to return to your establishment, they are much more likely to do so. Making and keeping consumers happy through a loyalty program that rewards them for their continued business is a great way to achieve this. Loyalty apps don’t just create repeat customers, they increase sales overall and give the customer a more personalized experience. CBPMedia can create an easy to use app for your restaurant. And, it won’t cost as much as you think. Set up fees are a one off payment of €220, and maintenance is €15 per month. For more information, contact 966725968 or email cbpmedia@costablancapeople .com

Pet owners more community focused Pet owners report stronger neighbourhood social connections than non-pet owners according to a recently published study. They were consistently more likely to report social benefits such as helpfulness, friendliness and trust between neighbours. This research adds strength to claims that pet ownership is a valuable and positive feature in community and neighbourhood life. "The notion that pets facilitate the 'glue' that holds society together, or 'social capital' goes beyond the more commonly investigated role of pets as a social icebreaker," says Dr Lisa Wood, lead researcher. "We were interested in the extent to which pets facilitate social interactions and creates the 'ties that bind' communities together." The University of Western Australia study was conducted in collaboration with the WALTHAM Centre for Pet Nutrition, part of Mars Petcare and was led by Dr Lisa Wood, School of Population and Global Health. Researchers surveyed over 2,500 pet- and non-pet owners in two different countries. The survey measured multiple aspects of

social capital including helpfulness, friendliness, trust, and civic engagement. The study was the first of its kind to examine the social capital effects of pets in two different countries. Owning a pet was associated with higher social capital compared with not owning a pet at all. This finding was consistent across residents surveyed in all four cities studied. "The stronger associations observed for dog walkers, may be related to the role of dog walking as a way of greater neighbourhood surveillance and increased perceptions of safety within a community," says Lisa Wood. "Pets in general support

first meetings between neighbours, and they are often a topic of conversation over the garden fence." "Pet ownership brings health and social benefits and there is a growing call for the societal impact of pets to be taken seriously," says Sandra McCune, HAI Scientific Leader, WALTHAM. "The study adds further support to this agenda and for establishing 'pet-friendly' cities, towns and accommodation. The availability of parks and open spaces suitable for dog walking is essential for pet well-being, and for people to fully experience the benefits of pet ownership."

Office jobs could rob workers of Vitamin D Spending your days cooped up inside an office might mean you're not getting enough vital vitamin D -- know as the "sunshine vitamin," researchers report. Canadian researchers found that vitamin D deficiency levels differ by occupation, with people who are closeted indoors faring worse than others. "We know that vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency is prevalent in the population at large. We can now say that occupation is a factor that is important in determining if someone may be vitamin D-deficient or not," said lead researcher Dr. Sebastian Straube, an associate professor of preventive medicine at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. Vitamin D is found naturally in a few foods, and often added to milk and other products. Skin exposure to sunlight also produces vitamin D, which is why it's called the sunshine vitamin. In the new research, Straube and his colleagues reviewed 71 previously published studies that included more than 53,400 people in the northern and southern hemispheres. They found vitamin D deficiency in 80 percent of shift workers -- those who work outside the typical 9-to-5 day. More than three-quarters of indoor workers and 72 percent of health care students were also vitamin D-deficient.

Dental implants: new low prices and free consultation If you are interested in getting a dental implant but are put off by the price and fear of what’s involved, then a free dental implant consultation at the Medcare Dental Implant Centre in Benijofar could be just the thing for you. Run by experienced implant surgeon, Dr Daniel Oliveros Soria, Medcare Implant Centre offers quality implants at very competitive prices. Dental implants at Medcare start from just €995 for a single tooth implant, which includes the implant and high quality prosthetic tooth. The clinic has recently been able to reduce costs in order to lower the price, making implants more accessible than ever. Senior dentist at Medcare, Timothy Holt, said: “Implants are very often the best option for patients needing tooth replacement. They look and perform just like the real tooth, help prevent gum erosion and do not damage adjacent teeth in the way that crowns and bridges do: “we are pleased to be able to offer patients a lower price to make it possible for more people to consider this option.” After price, the next biggest obstacle to getting a tooth implant is fear.

People perceive it to be a much bigger procedure than other dental treatments and worry about pain. However, when expertly performed and when pain is properly managed, the procedure should not be too uncomfortable. One Medcare patient, Markus, described his implant surgery as “practically pain free” and, as Markus had all his teeth out to be replaced by implants that is quite an achievement. He added that the treatment was “without complications, and even pleasant considering the circumstances. My fears of pain were unnecessary. Daniel performed excellent treatment and was meticulously exact. The other dentistry staffwere friendly, helpful and explained everything clearly.” Having an implant is not really much of an ordeal, but the fear and not knowing what to expect can make it seem worse than it is. That is why one of our Medcare’s experienced British dental nurses will always be on hand to calm patient’s fears and smooth the process. Plus, as well as being in the safe and very experienced hands of surgeon Daniel, one of Medcare’s other dentists will be there to reassure and explain things if

needed. Book a free consultation to learn more about dental implants at Medcare and find out if you are a suitable candidate for the surgery. Just call 966 860 258 or email: doctorsmedcarespain.com. Please note that the price of €995 is for a basic implant, without complications. If you require extra treatment, such as bone grafting, the price will be higher. Individual needs can be investigated at a free consultation. Lastly, new to Medcare is the innovative SmileTRU clear orthodontic positioner - an alternative to fixed braces for many people. With each positioner designed to fit over the teeth and gently guide them into the desired position, SmileTRU is a comfortable, affordable and invisible way to achieve straighter teeth and get that smile of your dreams. With the bonus of being removable for eating and drinking, the positioners have a minimal impact on daily routines. Now it is possible to get the smile you have always wanted without anyone knowing you are in treatment. Contact Medcare’s Dental Centre on 966 860 258 to arrange a complimentary consultation with one of our experienced dentists. doctors@medcarespain.com

Gap in cancer deaths between rich and poor Over the past few decades, death rates linked to cancer and heart disease have declined in most developed nations, thanks to more effective prevention strategies, early detection and greater access to quality health care. But the same isn't true for poorer counties where the number of people dying from cancer has either remained unchanged or continues to rise, researchers report. The international team of researchers assessed the impact that cancer has had on the life span of people between 40 and 84 years old from 1981 to 2010, and compared it to the effects that heart disease has had on life expectancy over the same time period. The scientists analyzed cancer death rates from national databases of 52 countries that belong to the World Health Organization. They considered deaths for all cancers combined, and also looked specifically at the deaths rates for the five most common forms of the disease -lung, colon, stomach, prostate and breast cancers. The study authors said declines in death rates from lung cancer among men were associated with improvements in tobacco control. In very wealthy nations, these strategies resulted in the largest gains in life expectancy. For instance, men in the Netherlands gained up to 0.7 years. But women in the Netherlands and other highly developed nations did not see the same benefit, the researchers said. Declining death rates from breast cancer were the primary driver of increased longevity among women in highly developed countries. The researchers attributed these gains to earlier detection of the disease and greater access to effective treatments.

Study says acupuncture as effective as drugs for pain relief An Australian study has concluded that acupuncture is as safe and effective as drugs for pain relief in some patients. The world's largest randomised controlled trial of the use of acupuncture in emergency departments has found the treatment is a safe and effective alternative to pain-relieving drugs for some patients. Led by RMIT University, the study found acupuncture was as effective as pain medicine in providing long-term relief for patients who came to emergency in considerable pain. But the trial, conducted in the emergency departments of four Melbourne hospitals, showed pain management remains a critical issue, with neither treatment providing adequate immediate relief. Lead investigator Professor Marc Cohen, from RMIT's School of Health and Biomedical Sciences, said pain was the most common reason people came to emergency, but was often inadequately managed. "While acupuncture is widely used by practitioners in community settings for treating pain, it is rarely used in hospital emergency departments," Cohen said. "Emergency nurses and

doctors need a variety of painrelieving options when treating patients, given the concerns around opioids such as morphine, which carry the risk of addiction when used long-term." Cohen said the study has shown acupuncture is a viable alternative, and would be especially beneficial for patients who are unable to take standard pain-relieving drugs because of other medical conditions. But it's clear we need more research overall to develop better medical approaches to pain management, as the study also showed patients initially remained in some pain, no matter what treatment they received. The study, published in the Medical Journal of Australia and funded by a grant from the National Health and Medical Research Council, involved 528 patients with acute low back pain, migraine or ankle sprains who presented at the emergency departments of the Alfred Hospital, Cabrini Malvern, Epworth Hospital and Northern Hospital between January 2010 and December 2011. Patients who identified their level of pain as at least 4 on a 10point scale randomly received one of three types of treatment:

acupuncture alone, acupuncture plus medication or medication alone. One hour after treatment, less than 40 per cent of patients across all three groups felt any significant pain reduction (2 or more pain points), while more than 80 per cent continued to have a pain rating of at least 4. But 48 hours later, the vast majority found their treatment acceptable, with 82.8 per cent of acupuncture-only patients saying they would probably or definitely repeat their treatment, compared with 80.8 per cent in the combined group, and 78.2 per cent in the medication-only group. "Some Australian emergency departments already offer acupuncture when trained staff are available but further studies are needed on ways to improve pain management overall in emergency departments, and the potential role for acupuncture in this," Cohen said. "We need to determine the conditions that are most responsive to acupuncture, the feasibility of including the treatment in emergency settings, and the training needed for doctors or allied health personnel."

Enjoy Your BBQ - Safely Yes it’s definitely that time of year again, summer, sun and BBQ’s. Here are a few ideas to ensure that your long awaited al fresco eating is safe and healthy. Consider cooking all chicken and pork first in the oven and finish off on the BBQ , to get the flavour only a Barbie will give you. Chicken and pork are always summer culprits in the upset tummy syndrome. Huge percentages of these meats contain harmful bacteria which is often not thoroughly destroyed with the BBQ method of cooking. As burgers and sausages are cooked quickly at high temperature they tend to char on the outside but remain raw in the middle. Always check, and if the meat is still pink on the inside put them back on the BBQ further away from the direct flames, and let them cook thoroughly through. Remember also, that there is a lot evidence now telling us that eating burned or overcooked food can be harmful as it contains chemicals that are cancer

inducing . So although I say thoroughly cook meat, it’s not a good idea to actually cremate it either! The same research also warns against eating too many smoked foods such as bacon as it is thought this also can raise the risk of cancer in excess. When you’re cooking most types of meat on a barbecue, such as poultry, pork, burgers or sausages, make sure: The coals are glowing red with a powdery grey surface before you start cooking, as this means they’re hot enough. Ensure frozen meat is properly thawed before you cook it , and you turn the meat regularly and move it around the barbecue to cook it evenly Always avoid cross contamination. Use separate plates and cutlery for raw and cooked foods and never reuse marinade that has had uncooked meat in it. Wash your hands before and during food handling, especially if you have touched chicken. Encourage children to wash their own hands before eating BBQ foods, and adults too, for that matter

Keep raw foods in the fridge until you are ready to use them as they heat up very quickly in these temperatures and when people have helped themselves store them back in the fridge. This goes for all sauces and bottles such as mayonnaise and ketchup. Always clean the bottles of residue when they are finished with. How many of us hate being handed ketchup bottles with old dirty remnants still on them? Remember that cheeses also contain harmful pathogens, especially soft cheeses, so again keep them as cool as possible. If anyone should develop an upset tummy after a BBQ it’s always a good idea to replace fluids lost by diarrhoea and vomiting with electrolyte replacement drinks which are easily obtained from pharmacies. In fact it’s always a good idea to have a stock of these in the summer, especially if we have grandchildren visiting. Happy BBQ ‘ing , enjoy - but stay safe.

Technology

Susan via email asks: Hi Aunty. I bought a laptop which is nearly a year old and Has Windows 8. I paid extra to have Norton antivirus installed for 1 year and now have to decide whether to pay €80 to continue with it for another year. Do you think it would be worth the expense or should I subscribe to an alternative, maybe a free, protection system? Aunty Says: Hi Susan. I’m not a big fan of Norton mainly due to the overhead it has on your computer, plus there are a huge number of good freebies available, and as always I recommend sticking with the Windows Defender that comes bundled with Win8. Install the free SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes for spyware protection and you should be fine.

till I know more about what it does - particularly if taking it off again damages the screen itself. Any suggestions would be appreciated but I want to know how they do it like they do on the TV and in films and use their laptops out of doors. Aunty Says: Hi Tim. There are few things you can try. When most laptops are used outside they are running on battery

Tim via email asks: Hello Aunty, my question can't be a new one to you as it affects every one of us who tries to use a laptop in Spain. We love the sunshine but the onscreen reflections are a problem - and one I haven't solved. Can you? I've seen adverts for a stick-on screen filter device but I'm reluctant to try anything like that

and subsequently the power settings in Windows usually dims the screen to save power. In ‘control panel’ ‘power options’ you should be able to change these settings. There should also be a brightness/contrast key sequence on the keyboard which often a blue FN key and a sun symbol. Obviously positioning yourself out of the sun and under the shade of a

parasol will help. I know compushade.com used to make a funky fold up laptop shade for around €30 which does a good job but I certainly wouldn’t recommend sticking any kind of filter on a laptop screen. Fred via email asks: Can you advice me on good safe site for downloading movies and DVDs? If not, is there any of your readers that can? Aunty Says: Hi Fred. There are loads of ‘torrent’ sites out there but you access and download from them at you own risk. The legality of downloading copyrighted films and music is as about as complicates as it gets, so make sure you read up on the rules before you begin. The Pirate Bay and isohunt still seem to be very popular websites to find downloads and you’ll need a downloader program such as Utorrent or Bitcomet to manage the files. Make sure your antivirus program is up to date and scan for spyware at least once a week as it can get a bit scary out there. Any questions then email me at auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com . See you all next week

Charity

Benijofar appreciates ACTS The Mayor on Benijofar, Luis Rodriguez Perez, was pleased to present to members of ACTS (Actors Community Theatre Society) a plaque acknowledging and appreciating the monetary donations the group has made to Benijofar Social Services. Formed only two years ago, ACTS has already presented three plays in the Casa de Cultura, and as a result has been able to donate 6000 euros to the crisis appeal. The money is used to support those in need in the town, providing funds towards the costs of such essential items as food and water and the costs of electricity. ACTS is extremely grateful to all those at the Town Hall and in the Casa de Cultura for their helpful co-operation and look forward to continuing this mutual relationship. Following their most recent production – Blithe Spirit – the group is now planning for its next show, a farce called Key for Two. This will be performed in the theatre in October. If you are interested in joining this dynamic group please contact the Chairman, Tony Goddard (newleaf2014@hotmail.co.uk)

Urgent Plea Margaret Wormington of the dog rescue charity APA Santa Clara contacted the Costa Blanca People this week with an urgent appeal to our readers. Margaret told us, “We have helped a small Dog Rescue Centre in Tobarra, Albacete, over a small number of years. Our first visit the dogs were being fed dry bread. A group of us got together and now they get proper food and medical care. They live in a rough area which was a builder’s yard. The kennels, as such, are falling apart – they are mostly made of wooden pallets tied with rope. We have been offered a piece of land by the local council but the cost of the building which will contain the new kennels is €82,000, of which €62,000 has already been donated. We have to vacate the area we are currently occupying so it is desperate that we raise the remaining funds.” Margaret continued, “We hope that by appealing to your readers, we will get

some donations soon.” The charity provided the following guide: Food box €50 Water dispenser €50 Brick built kennel €200 Complete patio €1000 Donation names can be placed on a plaque and put on a kennel – although the charity is keen to point out that any donation will help and be appreciated. Cheques can be made out to: APA Santa Clara Mrs Margaret Wormington (Vice President) Ph: 697495315 Protectora De Animales, Santa Clara, Tobarra (APA Santa Clara) CIF G02506087 Paypal: santaclaratobarra@gmail.com Bank transfers: LiberBank in the name of APA Santa Clara, Tobarra Albacete IBAN: ES 58 2105 4550 2930 1003 4449 https://www.facebook.com/santaclara. tobarra

Terri Hovarth Morris Dancers The Terri Hovarth Morris dancers have just finished for the summer. Their last dance out was a charity event at La Siesta for Help at Home, for their Fiesta Fun day where many people were enthralled with the Dance routines offered by the Morris Dancing. The Morris team had also ‘danced out’ recently in Algorfa. This event was a charity lunch organized by Amigos de Algorfa to raise funds for the village school. The amount raised on the day was €413 this was added to a growing fund which so far this year has raised well over €1000.

The Terri Hovarth Morris Dancers Perform at many venues, mainly Charitable events, or for requested performances and Fiestas etc. The Morris Dancing consists of many kinds of English Traditional dances for any age, from North Western to Molly and many other mixed dances, and the group is always looking for more dancers, with or without prior experience. If you would like to find out more about the Morris group, Dancing etc. or inquire for booking performances for your venue please contact:- Sue Walters at:suzi.inspain@gmail.com

La Marina Golf Society Las Ramblas Social Club President’s Trophy Unfortunately, due to illnesses of wives and pets, a slightly depleted field met in scorching temperatures to compete for the President's Trophy at the incomparable Lo Romero Course. The two runners up, Pete Wootton with 39 points and Geoff Ettridge with 37 points might, on another day, have been winners, but for the second year running, Sarah Mccabe produced a handicap-busting round, accumulating 43 points to re-take the trophy. A brilliant round in difficult conditions. Winners of nearest the pins were Norman Pickett and two to Graeme Buchanan. Prize -giving was delayed until the excellent dinner/ dance at the La Marina Sports Centre where a very tasty 3-course meal was served by Helena and her staff. Music was provided by the classy Diverse Duo and I'm pleased to report that some people fell over each other to reach the dance floor. Our next meeting is at Vistabella on 6th

July, first tee 0928 at a cost of 35euros. The list is on the board as usual or contact Alan Craig on 634 347 788 or a100ac@yahoo.co.uk. Finally thanks to all who made the evening a success.

On Monday we played The “Dusty Bin” and the team with the winning score of 92 were Bryan Neal, Mike Chapman, Han Van Loon and Peter Reffell. Wednesday was “Captains Day” Pairs Comp. 2 Ball Better Ball and the results were as follows. 1st John Shervell and Peter Radcliff 45pts. 2nd Peter Wickham and Brian Dent 42pts on a count back. 3rd Ron Phipps and Mike Chapman 42pts 2´s Club, Only one, Olga Douglas.

After the golf players returned to the Lime Bar (19th Hole) for refreshments, prize giving and excellent eats provided by the Lime Bar.

Last Saturday Jack and Barbara Cooper invited other La Siesta Members to join them in a Fun Competition to celebrate their Golden Wedding. A Large turnout in glorious weather saw all rinks being used whilst others turned up just to join in the celebrations. The competition consisted of three separate 6 end disciplines consisting of normal ends, fixed jack full length and fixed jack minimum length. The winners Norman Adcroft, Irene Laverick and Dennis Andrew received their prizes from Jack and Barbara. Lollipops were handed out for every member that a bowl touching the jack. Needless to say the 50 lollipops on offer did not last long. On behalf of the club members our President Jean Cooper presented Jack and Barbara with cut glasses and a bottle of Bubbly. In the VCL league La Siesta visited San Miguel Deputies and gained 6 points to their opponents 8. The overall shots going to San Miguel by 103 to 94.Winners for La Siesta were the Pair of Dawn Taylor and Mike Edwards by 18 shots to

T.M.G.S. @ Roda Golf Roda was in excellent condition for our Stableford competition, 32 members and guests trekked down the AP7 for 30 mins or so to arrive in time to tee off just a little after 9am. It would appear that early starts don’t really suite everyone or could it be

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

So, it turns out that Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho might be kindred spirits after all, eh? The Manchester United manager is allegedly accused of hiding a fair amount of cash from the Spanish tax authorities in his time at Real Madrid. Seriously, I am starting to blame the accountants, this is (maybe) happening far too often. Anyway, Florentino Perez has said he will talk to Ronaldo after the Confederations Cup and find out exactly what is going on. I’ll tell you now Senor Perez. Cristiano would like a new contract please, probably with a signing on fee that might match what he might be in for with the taxman. Maybe. Possibly. Allegedly. Dani Alves has made it clear to Juventus that he enjoyed his time in Italy, but wants to play for a club that won’t bottle it in Europe. Quite why is off to Manchester City is anybody’s guess in that case, though there are rumours of another side keen to get him to the Premier League. Manchester City are also keen to add Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to their slightly over-filled stable of top class strikers. Liverpool are thought to want the Borussia Dortmund striker as well before they realise they don’t want to spend that much.

Yes, Antonio Conte may well have been playing me like a banjo. Or, he is doing the popular routine of making it look like you want to leave to get a better deal. I tried that once, Burger King kinda knew they could replace me quite easily, and I wasn’t even asking for a £300m war chest. Anyway, the Chelsea boss wants Dani Alves to improve his right-hand side as well as Alex Sandro to improve his left-

hand side. None of this seems to be caring whatsoever about Marcos Alonso or Victor Moses seem to think. Where’s the loyalty, eh?

on let me check, ah yes Benfica. Having already oiled the transfer wheels by signing Victor Lindelof, Mou is heading back to the Portuguese giants as he has learned there is someone else there that might be quite good. Of course, United have an excellent pedigree of players called Anderson. There’s Viv Anderson and, hmmm, Anderson. Oh well, 50/50 chance I suppose. It has been a busy old few days for Ed Woodward if you believe anything at all. Robert Lewandowski is supposedly done at Bayern Munich (or wants a new super deal) and has contacted Manchester United about a move, despite preferring Chelsea. That United strikeforce of Ronaldo, Alvaro Morata, Romelu Lukaku, Ivan Perisic, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Robert Lewandowski and Ashley Young is going to take some stopping next season.

is leaving the club, meaning that Bellerin is more than likely leaving the club. Still, at least Arsenal have a lovely new kit to wear next season and their PR department hasn’t been laughed at all day. Football Manager wonderkid of 2015 or so, Will Hughes, is finally thought to have been noticed kicking a ball around in Derby County’s first team by Watford who, ironically, are quite heavily linked to Football Manager. £8m or so is thought to be the deal, though Hughes’ agent is likely to ask for a crazy fee, demand that the defence is strengthened and have a non-negotiable relegation release clause. Tammy Abraham decided that the choice between living in Newcastle or Swansea for a year was a bit like choosing

Tottenham Hotspur are in for Max Meyer of Schalke and Germany, who used to cost £35m but might now be allowed to leave for £17.5m. Why is anybody’s guess, though boringly it is more likely to be that his contract is running down rather than he has become £17.5m less good than he was.

One almost certainly leaving the Bridge, for another tearful non-tax related reunion is Nemanja Matic. He could well be leaving Chelsea and heading up to Manchester United as they are in dire need of another slow lump of a midfielder. Newcastle United could be having a good week. I mean there is all that talk of Mike Ashley selling up and now they might be about to do some very good transfer business indeed. Porto striker Victor Aboubakar is being linked to St James’ Park for less than £10m and the superb Eibar central defender Florian Lejeune is arriving for even fewer pennies.

Crystal Palace have chosen Ronald, sorry Frank De Boer to be their new

Manchester United have also been cleared of any wrongdoing by FIFA around the Paul Pogba deal. I know, being cleared of wrongdoing by FIFA is a little bit like Theresa May congratulating the emergency services, isn’t it? Massively hypocritical seeing that they are the cause of most the mess we are hearing about. Oh wait, that actually happened. Anyway, FIFA didn’t say that the only wrongdoing in the Pogba deal was the stupid amount of money they paid for him, mainly because the time this summer’s silly season is over that deal will look like a bargain considering some of the crap that is likely to go for £60m plus.

Rafa Benitez must be a very happy waiter right now. Later in the week it emerged that Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t going to Manchester United after all as he has agreed to pay the taxman. We say “he”, but of course there is every chance that Real Madrid will be, er, helping him out with a loan that he might not have to pay back. What’s that Cristiano? You’d like a new contract as well? Sure, sign here. Ronaldo7 Manchester United shirts are likely to be 75% off on eBay tonight after all.

Barcelona still want Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin. In other news, the ball is still round. Arsenal have denied that Bellerin

which hand he should chop off first so chose his new loan venture by playing eeny-meeny-minie-moe. Abraham is expected to sign for Swansea City for a year this week. My “Liverpool did a signing” dance is being brought out sooner than my Arsenal or Chelsea interpretations. And boy, it is a dance I can tell you. Liverpool have parted with £36.9m of their hard earned of Egyptian Mohamed Salah who claims he can play anywhere. That is actual music to the ears of James Milner who is a little bored of being the filler in the left-back hole. Liverpool will look to recoup the transfer fee by selling Mohamed Salahds in their eateries which will, no doubt, we washed down with an Emre Can of Coke. Roberto Firmino has been a star, not by just giving up his number 11 shirt but by offering all kids that bought a Firmino11 strip for next season a signed shirt in return. Antonio Conte has urged his superiors at Chelsea to sign Leonardo Bonucci or Virgil van Dijk, or, ideally, both. The titlewinning gaffer wants to see the board put their money where their mouth is as he is worried that teams like Liverpool are signing up Chelsea rejects, which means they might have become good since leaving the Bridge. As a result, Romelu Lukaku is still very much Plan A, relegating Borussia Dortmund’s PierreEmerick Aubameyang to Plan B.

Jose Mourinho probably isn’t that bothered, as newspapers all over the world are still linking him to many players and I am more than happy to play along. Step forward Anderson Talisca of, hang

Oh look, another Manchester United

El Plantio 2 Golf Society On 20th June, 13 members competed in a Medalford for the Gordon Abba Trophy. Gordon was a well-respected member and ex club captain, who returned to the U.K. last year. Judging by the early indications, the pace was being set by Henry Mellor, who, while not matching last week's Hole-in-One, still succeeded in finishing nearest the pin on both target holes and achieving birdies in both.

However, he could not maintain this form and was overtaken by three other scorers. No-one could match the scorching pace set by John O'Brien, who achieved five birdies in his round which was enough to win first place by a clear five shots. Nearest the Pins, Hole 1 and Hole 8 Henry Mellor. 3rd Place, Ray Housley, Handicap 9 - 10

rumour. Gareth Bale, yes really, is the latest Real Madrid player with no intention of heading to Old Trafford to be linked to Old Trafford. This has been sparked by the alleged “private” conversation between Kylian Mbappe and Zinedine Zidane. Now, I am not one to pry into someone else’s conversation, especially a private one, but I am guessing the jist of it is that Zizou told young Kylian that he would like to sign him, young Kylian went weak at the knees and Zizou realised he might need to make space for him in the Champions League winners squad. Who better to go? A constantly injured Gareth Bale who, in the exact opposite way to Ryan Giggs, only seems to turn for Wales. Liverpool seem to have taken some transfer bidding potion though, as they emailed a £90m or so bid to Monaco for Mbappe themselves. Really Jurgen Klopp, is he going to play right back is he?

manager, meaning Southampton are left with the sloppy seconds that is Mauricio Pellegrino. How on earth does that work? When did Southampton become inferior as a job prospect to Crystal Palace? John Terry is weighing up the Aston Villa offer whilst looking at his Premier League Bat Phone screaming “why aren’t you ringing?” England U21’s made it through to the semi-finals of the U21 European Championship which has surprised me. Could this be a glorious summer for young English football, leading up to the inevitable disappointment in Russia next year? Finally, FIFA found Infantino (or Blatter MK2) not guilty of any form of corruption whatsoever, in fact those people daring to investigate were fools and idiots. And so it begins again….

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

What do you mean you didn’t notice I wasn’t here last week? Pah. Anyway, you are in for a treat today because, if I can recall anything more than 7 days old, you get TWO weeks of sports, er, news today. Aren’t you the lucky one? As the English seem to think it is summer because they’ve had a couple of days where they’ve left the jacket in the car we had better talk cricket. Do you recall that England were the favourites for the ICC Champions Trophy? Do you remember that Pakistan represented a bunch of guys pretty much picked out of a hat and entered as the worst ranked side and got battered by India in their first game? Well, England played Pakistan in Swansea in the semi-final and guess what? England chose that day to be the one day they failed to turn up and Pakistan swatted them aside like an irritating mosquito before going on and somewhat reversing the first result against India,

smashing them in the final. It just goes to show, all the development plans, central contracts and clever PR in the world does not always beat a team that just really, really wants to beat you. In his hundred years behind the TMS microphone, dear old Henry Blofeld will have seen his fair share of English

defeats, collapses and dropsies. In fact, Blowers has made a fair few bungles behind the mic himself. The great man will be retiring at the end of the Test series with South Africa, and listening to cricket will never be the same again. England were quickly back in the saddle, an utterly pointless Hors D’oeuvre of T20 cricket to the main test series against the South Africans. Still, it was all a bit of fun and England claimed victory in the series decider on Sunday.

San Miguel Golf Society One of the finest jewels in the area's golfing crown must be the lovely, but challenging, course at Las Colinas. A buzz of excitement always rustles through the attending ensemble whenever we visit the "hidden valley". It was a hot and sunny June day ND with quite a few areas off limits for buggies, it was also an energy sapping experience for the 33 members and 5 guests. Today was the final of the Roger Pearson Doubles Matchplay with Robin (I can chip in from anywhere) Eastman and Ken Flaherty thrashing Barry Roehrig and Kenny Reddington 5&4. The five NTP's went to Robin Eastman (5), Noel Bannon (7), Theo Boelhouwer (10), Ron Stenhouse (14) &Steve Belshaw (17). Results for each category were. . Bronze category –4th Phil Birtwistle (29 C/B),3rd, Neal Sheldon (31), 2nd, Kyree

Skarsmoen (33) & 1stMarge Birtwistle (36). Silver winners were 4th, Phil deLacy (30), 3rd, Ken Flaherty (31), 2nd Steve Belshaw (33) &1st Theo Boelhouwer (36). Gold Category 4th, Noel Bannon (31), 3rd,Norman Cahill (33),2nd,Jamie Rorison (39) &with the best score of the day 1st, Robin Eastman with 41 points. Best Visitor with 35 points was Andrew Macdonald just pipping Richard Lewis with 34 points. Our thanks go to all the staff at Las Colinas for their warm welcome and generous prizes on the day. Keep in touch with all society matters through www.smgs.org or simply give Theo a buzz on 694494824 for all details of Wed meetings. Please book as early as you possibly can because tee times at all local courses are filling up quickly. Next week we are at La Manga.

Not to be outdone in the “building up the hopes of a cricketing nation before delivering abject disappointment”, the England Women’s cricket World Cup team lost their opening match against India, managing to run themselves out four times in their run-chase which, no matter which level of cricket you are playing at, is a tad foolish. Anyway, this alleged summer means there must be some tennis going on somewhere, ideally on grass. Sir Andrew Murray started his Wimbledon preparation at Queens Club, as usual. Except Murray managed to continue his torrid year by being dumped out in Round One by a lucky loser called Jordan Thompson. Nope, me neither. Sir Andy called this a “big blow” and if he plays like that “he won’t win Wimbledon”. You don’t say, Andy. British Number Three Dan Evans has let the complete non-fame go to his head and tested positive for cocaine in April, which will no doubt lead to a ban meaning he won’t be able to play at Wimbledon. Still, most British players are not allowed to play at 13 out of the 14 days of Wimbledon, mainly because they have been knocked out, so it won’t be that great a hardship. I don’t often give any kind of tip when it comes to sport, but I would say get a little bit of money on Thanasi Kokkinakis to reach the second week at SW19. He is a massively talented Australian back from injury who shocked Marin Cilic in the warm-up event. He won’t win the thing, but he is one to avoid in the early

rounds. Roger Federer warmed up for Wimbledon the way Roger Federer warms up for Wimbledon, having a lovely time winning in Halle. Staying with tennis, former AC Milan and Italy legend (football dear) Paolo Maldini has picked up a racket, thought “yeah I can have a go at this” and at the age of 49 managed to qualify for an ATP tournament, yeah properly professional with proper tennis players, at the first

winneth a Test match, as New Zealand burst Warren Gatland’s bubble at the first time of asking. The F1 week started with the new owners having a pop at the old owners, and seeing that the old owner was Bernie Ecclestone I am all for a bit of that. The main event of the week was the race in Azerbaijan where it became clear, once again, that Lewis Hamilton might not be the most popular man on the track. Now, I know little about F1 really but even to my untrained eye it looked like Vettel drove into Hamilton somewhat deliberately. And they’d been getting on so well. Anyway, Ricciardo won, Hamilton recovered to fifth but couldn’t quite get close enough to Vettel to drive into his rear end. You have to love Formula One, there is almost always something going on, right? I wonder if Vettel did take Lewis up on his offer to “sort it out, face to face”.

time of asking. It’s bad enough that Maldini is one of the finest players of his generation, intelligent and good looking. But now to switch sports and be professionally competent at another is just taking the biscuit. There’s a lot of rugby going on at the moment. Sadly for the Lions on tour in New Zealand, one wonder try does not

A Day to Remember -

Fourth SAMM Race Day 2017 At the start of the fourth race day of the SAMM Spring season the winds were higher than the strengths forecast which did not bode well for the competitors, and so it turned out. In a 10 knot wind, Sirocco (Robert, Janice & Ernie) crossed the start line alone at the big boat start time as Mistral had retired a few minutes before. She would not steer, a re-occurring problem that still has not been resolved. The dinghies followed 10 minutes later. Within minutes the first of many capsizes happened when one of the most experienced helms, Julian aboard his Topaz, was caught by a very sudden gust of at least 16 knots whilst out on his trapeze. He was over in a flash but quickly righted the boat and continued. As the Whaly support boat was taking Mistral’s crew to shore from their mooring, the wind again suddenly gusted, causing the second capsize of the day. The Whaly was called, but took a while to get back to assist and, in this time, the third capsize occurred. The first crew could be seen getting their boat upright so the Whaly went to solo sailor Norman and stood by as he battled to get back in his boat and sailing again. The fourth capsize was George and Dianne and in trouble as the rudder pintle pins snapped leaving the boat helpless. Almost immediately Vernon, on the second Quba, went over, the fifth capsize. After much effort Vernon got back aboard but came upright with the wind fully behind him which pitch rolled him again into the water. He was separated from his

boat which drifted away towards the rocks. Whilst the Whaly was towing the Laser 2000 to shore Norman was swimming yet again, sixth capsize. With so many boats in trouble at the same time, a quick call was made to "Pro Vela Sailing" asking if they could assist with their rib. The Whaly managed to pick up Vernon, while the lads from Pro Vela sorted Norman out. They then went after Vernon’s Quba, which had come to a stop

against the rocks and was in danger of being damaged, and brought her safely back to the slipway. Although the underlying wind did not increase much above 10 knots, the freak sudden gusts and the many capsizes led to the "Abandon Race" decision after 2 of the proposed 4 laps. A great disappointment to the two crews who had managed to stay upright.

It was an exciting finale for the two group six sides in the concluding ties for promotion to 2B, with both matches going to penalty shoot outs. Champions Olimpic were first up on Saturday evening in front of expectant home fans, with their side seemingly having done the hard work in the away tie by securing an away goal in a 1-1 draw. This meant that they would win promotion if they could keep a clean sheet. It looked even better after only two minutes when Marc Cosme fired home to put them in the driving seat. This early strike settled the home side and fans eagerly anticipated further goals and a quick return to the higher division. As it transpired midway through the second period, Ezequiel found the back of the net for Ecija Balompie.

When Dani Iglesias popped home another with 12 minutes left on the clock, the signs were ominous. It ended 3-3 on aggregate and no further goals were managed in the 30 minutes of extra time. Penalties were once more required to settle the promotion and after a tense shoot out, the final score was 4-2 in favour of Ontinyent. Thus the team that finished third in group six became the only side to win promotion from the four contestants and they will once more grace the 2B stage. It had been a long, drawn out season, which will now be put to rest, until sides resume mid July to prepare for the new term. CD Torrevieja will play home matches back at the Vicente Garcia come

September when their league programme starts in the Preferente. President Vicente Boix has been contracting staff to erect changing room facilities for away teams and officials and work will be underway on this project soon. The club is determined to bounce back to the 3rd division at the first time of asking and are engaged in serious talks about new personnel for this pivotal year ahead. Fans are excited about the return to the Vicente Garcia stadium and will be even more excited once the club unveils their line up for the 2017/18 campaign. Keep in touch through the Costa Blanca People for all the player news, season ticket prices and the teams Torry will oppose in the season ahead. By Jeff Scott

Neither side could find the all important winner, even after 30 minutes of extra time and so penalties ensued. Cracking home the first, home fans were sure their side would prevail, but it was Ecija who kept their cool the better, notching four goals to Olimpicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three. This was misery for Xativa who had run away with the group six title and looked nailed on for a return to 2B. Only Ontinyent were left flying the flag for the Valencian community and they travelled to Alaves B with a commanding 3-0 lead. By half time the aggregate score line was 3-2 after Altair on 35 minutes and Dani Iglesias on 44 minutes had reduced the deficit significantly.
