No flights between UK and Spain after Brexit says Ryanair Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary (right) has told the European Parliament there will be no flights between the UK and the EU for months after Brexit unless replacements for EU airline agreements are struck.

e warned that Heathrow will be deserted, summer holidays cancelled and Ryanair aircraft moved to Europe. The current Open Skies agreement allows EU airlines, including those registered in the UK, to operate in each other’s countries. As aviation cannot fall back on World Trade Organisation rules, sealing a new deal is seen as vital by the CEO of Europe’s largest airline. But O’Leary warned that such a deal was ‘an impossibility’ and that the ‘only sensible option’ was for the British government to ignore the Brexit referendum result. He told the European Parliament’s Transport and Tourism Committee in Brussels: “There is a real prospect, and we need to deal with this, that there are going to be no flights between the UK and Europe for a period of weeks, months beyond March 2019. “There is not going to be an interim agreement, there is not going to be a legal basis, we will be cancelling flights, we will be cancelling people’s holidays for summer of 2019.” March 2019 is the deadline for Britain to exit the EU. If a Brexit deal is not finalised in time, Britain will leave without an agreement, known as Hard Brexit.

The European Commission, which is handling the Brexit negotiations on behalf of the EU, has refused to discuss anything until a settlement on citizens’ rights and the Brexit bill is reached. The second round of talks will be held in Brussels next week. O’Leary argued that a clear legal framework was needed by September 2018. Speaking at the same session, Willie Walsh, CEO of International Airlines Group said the EU and UK should sign comprehensive air transport agreements. “With policy support it ought to be relatively straightforward to agree a deal on aviation that will be ready when the UK leaves the EU,” he said.

No good will But Mr O’Leary retorted: “I think that’s an impossibility because there is no goodwill in Europe towards Britain. “The French and the Germans, when they have the opportunity to stick one into the British, they like nothing better.” “This is going to be a real mess,” Mr O’Leary added, “Brexit will be one of the great economic suicide notes in history. “By September 2018 when your average British voter is sitting down to work out where he is going on his holidays in 2019, the two options he will have are to drive to Scotland or get a ferry to Ireland,” he told MEPs. “The sensible outcome here is to ignore the plebiscite of 12 months ago, stay in Europe and continue to benefit from Open Skies. “We’ll be taking a lot of aircraft out of the UK in the April of 2019 and reallocating them to European regional airports and they’ll be seeing a lot more growth than they’ll know how to handle. “Although Heathrow, thankfully, will be empty probably for a period of months.”

BITE SIZE Environmental workshops on Torrevieja’s beaches NEWS: The battle to establish a railway connection in Torrevieja continues. The mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón, told a press conference that the last notifications from the Provincial government’s Ministry of Public Works had not taken the request any further forward. The mayor had proposed some suggestions for the railway to which he was hoping to get a firm response. However, all that had been received was further communication suggesting that analysis of the viability was continuing. Dolón has been waiting since April 2016 for the feasibility study for a rail connection of around 24 km. The mayor is concerned about the delay in submitting a decision particularly as other similar decisions about longer sections of track have been made much quicker. ‘After three years little has been done,’ said the mayor, ‘and they are giving us the same excuses as they did on the first day.’ There has been some debate about the positioning of the station. The Ministry put forward three possible routes which the technicians in Torrevieja felt were not possible. Torrevieja put forward an alternative which they consider to be a much better option in relation to the environment and its use. Dolón explained that the options proposed by the Ministry were not feasible because they ‘put the railroad in the centre of the town. Torrevieja needs a railway and wherever we place it there will be demand.’ Continued on page 5

Councillor for the environment, Fanny Serrano, presented on the 14th July a programme of information and education on Torrevieja’s beaches. The programme is aimed to promote the values of respectful and appropriate behaviour and to publicise good environmental practices. The Councillor has announced the importance of education when it comes to preserving the beaches. ‘It will be a great help,’ she said, ‘in obtaining and maintaining the blue flag accreditation. It also shows the town council’s commitment to environmental protection.’ The programme consists of eight days of information and education which will take place during the months of July and August on the main beaches of the town. The activities will begin at 9am and finish at 3pm and will take place in a tent. So it could get a little hot and sweaty. At least one hour will be dedicated to environmental games and workshops will follow on the themes of ‘The journey of Arca’, which is aimed at children from 4 years old to 14, ‘Beach birds’ open to everyone and the competitive game‘Verde posidonia’ which is also for any age. The workshop ‘The journey of the Arca’can take 20 participants and includes storytelling about the Loggerhead Sea Turtle from its Jornada 1ª Jornada 2ª Jornada 3ª Jornada 4ª Jornada 5ª Jornada 6ª Jornada 7ª Jornada 8ª Jornada

birth, through its travels to the hatching of baby turtles in Torrevieja. When this has finished there will be a workshop which looks at the natural and human threats to the turtle. Participants will then see pictures of some of the turtles that have been rescued in the Valencian Community. The final activity will be creating a turtle from recycled paper and discussion about what you should do if you do see one on a beach either because it is injured or laying its eggs. The second workshop, ‘aves playeras’ or ‘Beach Birds’ also has 20 places and the first activity is to match the silhouettes of birds with their beaks, legs and feet. Participants will be introduced to the basics of bird watching using a telescope. The activity will conclude with a debate about the different threats faced by species of seabirds and information about what you should do if you find a sick or injured bird. In the game ‘Verde posidonia’ 30 participants will compete in two groups. The green team and the blue team will need to resolve whether things are true or false, yes or no about the posidonia which is an underwater sea grass. All the workshops will be in Spanish. The dates include: Localización Playa La Mata-Norte Playa La Mata-Sur Playa Cabo Cervera Playa Los Locos Playa El Cura Playa Espigones Paseo Juan Aparicio Playa Los Náufragos Playa Cala Piteras

Chiringuitos closure dispute The chiringuitos ordered to close following their lack of correct licences are arguing that for eight years they have been paying money to the town hall. Costa Blanca People reported last week on the forced closures of three chiringuitos (beach bars) that were operating in the area of cala Piteras and Punta Prima without a licence. The closures were ordered following checks that indicated that no licences were in place either from Torrevieja or from the Valencian government who also have responsibility for properties on the coast. In addition it was claimed that the land was of a type where building is not allowed. However, opposition was already running high as one of the bars ordered to close has been operating since 2007 and the other two from 2012. The owner of two of the bars now claims to have already paid €8,000 this year for each bar in order to put chairs and tables outside from July to September. The town hall departments are accused of not knowing what one another are doing. The bar owner claims that this amount has been paid promptly for the last eight years. At the time of payment they also have to prove that there is insurance for civil liability and damages in place. It is alleged that not one person from the town hall has indicated that they are doing anything illegal.

The owner of one of the bars showed proof of the payment to the paper, Información. They had until Friday 14thJuly to plead their case to remain open although it is likely that they will appeal for an extension to this deadline. The bars affected only open in the high season from June to September and 25 people work there altogether. They want to know why the closure order has just been issued at the beginning of the busiest part of the year when it will have most impact upon them. They claim that they are not the only ones who have been operating in this way for many years and that closure orders have not been issued against similar establishments operating illegally. The owner of the bars has indicated a willingness to put any necessary changes in place but asks that they can continue to open until September. It will not be easy for the bars to rectify any deficiencies as they are located on land categorised as not for development. Apparently the lack of licences came to light when there was an application for a licence to develop a plot of land next to the existing premises. That money has been paid to the town hall does not mean that the bars have the right to trade there nor does it legalise them. There is still likely to be quite a fight ahead for the bars to regularise their opening. Suzanne O’Connell

N332 banners proposed In the ongoing battle to have the N332 widened on its route through Torrevieja the mayor, José Manuel Dolón, has requested permission to hang six banners on the bridges crossing the N332 and the CV95 demanding that work on increasing the width of the road begins. The banners will be displayed to traffic in both directions and will have the same content. Two are to be positioned on the CV95 at its junction with the N332, another two on the bridges located by the hospital Quiron and another two by the Habaneras shopping centre. This is all part of an awareness raising campaign in an attempt to push forward building work.

Habaneras on the radio On the 22nd July from 9am until 11pm the 63rd Habaneras competition will be broadcast on Radio Club CQ Torrevieja. The transmission will be on VF or VHF. You will also be able to see the broadcast being made at the entrance to the tourism office in the Paseo Vista Alegre. This method of promoting the Habaneras will be of particular interest to radio amateurs. Radio Club CQ Torrevieja is focused on promoting the city and its historical and cultural heritage.

Traffic flow reminder Congestion round the port area is a particular problem during July and August in Torrevieja. In order to try and address this a one-way system has been introduced for cars travelling to the port car park. All traffic must now enter from the roundabout opposite the casino and exit by the dique de levante. Other changes are also being put into operation in this area including a change in the use of the roundabout by the casino from 7pm at night until 7pm in the morning. It is planned to have a police presence around this area where possible to help regulate the traffic. There will also be adjustments to the timing of the traffic lights on roads exiting the town.

Demolition hastened Torrevieja town hall has asked for the rapid demolition of the building known locally as ‘La Ballena’ or the whale. This six story building is located right in the middle of Continued on page 6

FOUR MORE ARRESTED OVER BODY ON LA ZENIA BEACH It is believed that a network of money launderers, murdered a British citizen in Javea in 2014, with his body washing up wrapped in plastic sheets on La Zenia beach. The Guardia Civil, along with The National Crime Agency and the Merseyside Police in Liverpool, have detained four more people from this criminal organisation, all presumed involved in the killing. With the arrest of these four new suspects, the operation which began three years ago has ended. Called ‘Brennan’, the operation saw the previous arrests

The joint Security Forces have now dismantled the organisation which acted in the UK and the Mediterranean Coast dedicated to criminal activities and responsible for this murder.

Brennan had been kidnapped several months before in Jávea and no-one knew what had happened to him until his body washed up.

Councillor Fanny Serrano described on the 15th July the time frame there will be to ensure the demolition of the building takes place as soon as possible, even if it is during the summer season. If everything goes to plan it is anticipated that the demolition can take place in August. The building consists of a ground floor and five further floors. The building is located in Pedro Lorca street, was built in the 1960s and is 23 metres high.

No La Caixa exhibition this year Since 1997 La Caixa bank has held a summer exhibition in the town in the port area. This year, Councillor Domingo Pérez explained, the bank will not be holding the event in the town but emphasises that this is a decision made by the bank and not by the town hall. This year the event will take place in Alicante instead. The exhibition is sponsored by La Caixa Foundation and has included a range of scientific themes. Last summer the theme was ‘The forest’. Although it has been usual for the exhibition to take place in Torrevieja, it hasn’t always been the case and there have been years, previously when it has been located elsewhere. Although there might be disappointment that Torrevieja has not been chosen this year, it should also be noted that it takes up part of the port area at the height of the tourist season.

New charity market The Celtic Isle, Playa Flamenca is home to a new charity market every Wednesday from 10am. The market is the brainchild of local popular entertainer Stevie Spit and was established as a way of trying to give a regular income to two local Children’s Homes: Elche Children’s Care Home and San Jose Obrero Orphanage in Orihuela. Between the two homes there are 88 children who are being cared for away from their families; 70 at San Jose and 18 at Elche. The San Jose home has 46 permanent residents who live there and 24 weekly residents. These children live at the home Monday to Friday but are lucky enough to have a relative who they live with at the weekend. Both homes rely on donations from local businesses and the general public to remain open and to be able to provide for the children and meet their needs. Money donated is used to cover everything from water and electricity bills to food, toiletries, laundry costs, cleaning products, clothes, toys, days out and treats for the children.

Lots on offer

The market showcases local businesses such as Glamour Glamour Fashions, Emily Suzanne Jewellery Collection and Chrissy’s Boutique. There are also tasty home-made jams, marmalades and chutneys for sale with The Nature Preserve and Gifts on Wood has a wide range of hand crafted plaques for the home, garden and special occasions. These can also be made to order with bespoke messages, sayings or phrases. There is also a wide array of goods and gifts from sunglasses, children’s toys, glitter tattoos, cards, shoes, clothing and a raffle stall with the proceeds going to the charities. There is weekly entertainment from a range of local performers such as Stevie Spit, Kylie Burgazzi and Simon Morton and the Celtic Isle offers excellent and affordable food and drinks. The Celtic Isle also has a public pool and sunbathing terrace, with loungers, so why not make the most of what’s on offer and enjoy a day out at the Celtic Isle charity market. Mireille Toddington

Police accused of torture

Eight police officers and an ex councillor from Torrevieja have once more been called to court for the torture of two people arrested for a crime in 2006.

years in prison. The court proceedings are to take place in Elche in November. The two prosecuting, a Spanish woman and a Columbian man, were arrested after entering and robbing the property of one of the accused men who is also an inspector of police. The events occurred eleven years ago in June 2006.

Those prosecuting accuse the police of torture, making threats and harassment and a subsequent attempt to conceal what happened. One of those accused was the head of the local police in 2006. The case was previously scheduled to come to court in May 2014, January 2015 and in the middle of 2016. However, each time it has been suspended due to the non-appearance of the two claimants. There have been difficulties locating the couple and they did not receive notifications of the court proceedings. However, they have now been found. The man having been prosecuted for drugs trafficking in Singapore is now living in Columbia and the woman is in the United States. It has been suggested by the private prosecution that the two can make their testimonies by video conference. However, this has been rejected by the defence representing most of those accused due to the difficulties of carrying out an oral hearing in this way. Problems include due the time difference and the Unites States’ reluctance to carry out this kind of judicial collaboration. What is clear, is that this will be the last time that the case will come to court. It has been agreed that the oral hearing can be held with just the eight accused and in the absence of those prosecuting. Although, there is still the possibility that they might make the journey to argue the case against the police officers. The officers are accused of going beyond their duties and assaulting the couple, insulting them and using threats. The inspector whose house was burgled is accused of hitting the man with his pistol and threatening to rape his girlfriend. One of those accused is already retired and the claim is made by the prosecutor that there were no official attempts to clarify what had happened or rectify it. Suzanne O’Connell

Habaneras is here The International Habaneras competition 2017 will be taking place in Torrevieja from the 17th to the 23rd July. The town expects the arrival of 600 singers who are due to participate in this annual event. It is the 63rd competition of this kind and 20 choirs are due to participate including twelve choirs that are competing. Those competing come from nine different countries this year including Argentina, Spain, the Philippines, Indonesia, Latvia, Russia, Poland, Serbia and the Ukraine The competition will be decided by a professional group of five judges including Andrea Angelini from Italy and Cecilia Espinosa Arango from Colombia. The inauguration of the event took place on the 17th July and the competition itself runs from the 18th until the 21st July. The grand gala and prize giving will take place on 22nd July and the closing ceremony is on the 23rd July. The

closing ceremony will feature local choirs performing and an interpretation of hymns by the Unión Musical Torrevejense. All the choirs must sing one obligatory song as well as their own selection. This year the piece they will sing is ‘Son tus ojos’.

Valencian officials shown the traffic problems of Torrevieja Torrevieja was visited on the 14th July by the Councillor María José Salvador from the Valencian community government. She is responsible for public works and property in the community and came to Torrevieja to see the difficulties experienced on its road network. The mayor, José Manuel Dolón, outlined the work needed to improve the CV-95 where it meets the N-332 and the councillor

political tool,’explained the mayor.‘It’s a real need in this town that has to be resolved.’ The first priority is the widening of the N332. The Generalitat, the Valencian government, has offered its support to Torrevieja’s campaign for national government to help with this. The N332 is the responsibility of the Spanish government in the end and the ministry has been asked to address the day-to-day

Los Balcones which have resulted in improvements to pedestrian access and increased safety. ‘This is a priority for our government,’said Councillor Salvador.‘Even more so in an area as densely populated as this.’ María Salvador was accompanied by the mayor, Councillor Fanny Serrano and Carlos Domingo. Carlos Domingo is the director general of public works, transport and mobility.

Councillor Carlos Domingo, the mayor, Councillor María José Salvador and Councillor Fanny Serrano

visited the site to see first hand the difficulties there are. The mayor explained that the current situation is dangerous and requires an immediate solution. There are problems not only with congestion itself but the difficulties then that emergency services face when trying to use this route. Particularly as the main access to the hospital is also from the N332. During the visit the Guardia Civil had to make way for an ambulance that was unable to get past. ‘This isn’t a joke or a

problems that people experience who use this stretch of road. The councillor has pledged to go herself to central government and argue the case. Another area for improvement is that of the port in Torrevieja. ‘We will study the options and look for a solution to ensure the better integration between the port and the town,’ said the councillor. However, there were some positive topics of conversation. The councillor was able to see the works done to the CV-95 at

The works cost the Generalitat €233,000 and have included the reinforcing of 1.50km of the road, improving accessibility for pedestrians and extension of the pavement in front of the Doña Monse Hotel. The people of Torrevieja will now be hoping that the success in alleviating difficulties in this area will be extended to the N332 and that the Spanish government will listen to the request for help with this project.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE There were mixed signals around the closely watched inflation figures in Europe’s two biggest economies, as German inflation rose while French inflation showed a slowdown. The euro did come under some selling pressure, although commentators have put this down to trading rather than any specific economic news. While the euro to dollar rate ended the week roughly where it started, the US dollar dipped against the euro midweek. This was due to the comments of US Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, where she suggested that the federal fund rate ‘would not have to rise all that much

further’ to reach a level that would be neutral for the economy - markets were initially fearing a more aggressive stance in raising rates. As the Deputy Governor of the Bank of England said he was not ready to support a hike in interest rates, sterling reached an eight-month low against the euro, as it dipped below the 1.13 level. However, sterling gained back some ground as UK unemployment figures showed to have fallen to their lowest rate since 1975, albeit alongside a decline in real wages. Nonetheless, sterling had a strong end of the week against the common currency.

British National Health Service would collapse without Spaniards Professor of International Law and International Relations at Sevilla University, Pablo Antonio Fernández, has declared that if the United Kingdom decides to expel the current Spanish workers in the NHS, ‘the system would collapse’ Fernández, was in Marbella during the summer courses from Málaga University, and he underlined the issues surrounding Brexit negotiations over the free movement of people and the medical professions. The ‘problem’ for Great Britain he said was ‘not only are there Spanish workers....but also other nationalities such as Romania, Bulgaria or Poland.’

‘We are not talking about people with a great deal of talent or with high qualifications who have chosen to work abroad’he said but the volume of workers would be a huge loss. He considers that the heart of the Brexit negotiations ‘is not the uncontrolled arrive of foreign immigrants, but the free circulation for European citizens’. “Each side has marked their own red lines, but the European Union in an act of much generosity has planted one of the main principals which can be easily accepted by Great Britain, which would allow certain domestic controls over workers who are also permanent residents”,

he said. In this sense, there are ‘two proposals, one from the European Parliament and the other from the European Commission, in the sense of establishing a species of associated citizenship or an agreement on association in the style seen in Turkey, but by obeying, because Turkey has not obeyed’ These systems, according to Fernández, would possibly let Great Britain be established outside the EU with a certain control of permanency for the current European citizens

Local sanctuary rescues 140th equine The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre has applauded Almoradí police officers for their prompt action in rescuing a young donkey stallion found abandoned on the city’s streets last week. “We can't praise Almoradí police enough for acting swiftly yet again to save this animal,” said Easy Horse Care co-founder Sue Weeding. “Their quick action is evidence that our work to build relationships with local authorities and improve animal welfare practices here in Spain is slowly but surely paying off.” The donkey has no identification tags and his history is therefore unknown. “We believe he's quite young, he's very hungry and he has cruel scarring across his nose from wearing a halter too tight for far too long,” Sue said. “We do know that many owners often don't want stallions because they can't do anything with them. We suspect he's been tied up all his life for this reason – hence the scarring on his nose – and then simply dumped to get rid of him.” Under the centre’s responsible equine ownership policy, the donkey, which has been named César, will be castrated as soon as weather cools enough to allow the operation to be carried out safely. Currently, the summer heat means the risk of fly-borne infection is too high. César is the 140th equine saved by the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre since 2008, with Sue and Rod Weeding currently caring for 106 horses, ponies and donkeys at their Rojales sanctuary. The latest rescue came as Rod finished digging the trench for the next section of a 218-metre secure boundary wall being built to protect the rescued animals following a spate of break-ins at the sanctuary. Rod, aged 68, was forced to dig the knee-deep trench by hand after the centre’s aging digger broke down. Generous supporters have so far contributed more than €18,500 to fund the wall’s construction, but the

sanctuary is still is desperate need of further donations to raise the final €1,500 needed to ensure the project can be completed. Donations can be made at: easyhorsecare.net/donate/support-our-fencefundraiser. While César awaits his operation in autumn, he’ll be comfortably stabled at the centre and given the care and attention he deserves. Anyone interested in

sponsoring César can contribute to his ongoing wellbeing at: http://www.easyhorsecare.net/donate/sponsor-a-horse. The non-profit Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre relies entirely on donations to fund its important animal welfare work. Those interested in volunteering at the rescue centre or in the charity shops can call Sue on 652 021 980. The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, located just outside Rojales at Partido Lo Garriga, 59, opens to the public on the first Sunday of every month between 1pm and 4pm. Free horse tours run throughout the afternoon and refreshments are available in the café. For more details and directions, please visit www.easyhorsecare.net

The Bleeding Heart vine (Clerodendrum thomsoniae), also known as Bleeding Glory Bower or Bag Flower, is a beautiful, twining, tropical plant with showy red and white flowers. Bleeding Heart is a sprawling vine-like shrub that can be trimmed to just about any desirable size. It produces tons of clusters of white heart-shaped flowers with a red, tear-like attachment at the base of the flower. Flowers are seen year round, but more during the warmer months of the year. The Bleeding Heart vine is covered with large, evergreen leaves and climbs rapidly. The plant's stems can get 12-15 ft (4-5 m) long, climbing without tendrils, suckers or root hairs, but rather by twining through and around its support. You should provide a structure for it to climb on or keep it trimmed as a shrub.

CULTURE This is a tropical plant that will take some care to flourish. First thing to do is to choose a sheltered, sunny location to grow your Bleeding Heart vine - it needs heat and a lot of sunlight to reach its full potential. Best results occur with morning sun and afternoon shade. The soil will have to be high quality and have the ability to drain well. It should be loose and not packed. If planting in a pot, make sure the pot has holes on the bottom so that water can drain through. You don’t want water settling around the root, as this will cause root rot. When you have placed the plant in a container and covered the roots with soil you can add a bit of mulch around it, being careful not to let the mulch come into contact with the plant itself.

After planting the Bleeding Heart vine make sure that you water the plant well. This is important until the plant is well established. Always use lukewarm water and not cold water, as a frigid water temperature may put your plant into shock. It is also important that you never let the soil dry out, which will kill the plant. Bleeding heart likes high humidity and a moist, but not soggy, soil. You will want to feed your plant about every two weeks while growing. Use a gentle liquid fertilizer that you can add to the water. If you plant outdoors you can add slow release fertilizer to the soil. The Bleeding Heart vine will need to be pruned during the winter months for best growth during the warmer months. Prune it in mid-February just before new growth emerges. You’ll want to remove old, overcrowded shoots - particularly any that are too long for your taste. Plus, the flowers grow on new wood so don’t be afraid to cut the plant back severely. This plant is frost tender and may die back in winter. If plants are damaged by frost, burnt tips and leaves should be left on the plant until spring and then cut away to make way for vigorous new growth. The Bleeding Heart vine is a plant that produces some great flowers for cutting. You won’t have to feel guilty about cutting flowers from this vine, as it will actually help it to become healthier and produce more flowers. You’ll enjoy the heaviest flower crop

from early spring through mid-summer and then it will slow a bit into the fall

USAGE The Bleeding Heart vines are popular ornamentals, cultivated widely for their distinctive and beautiful flowers. It can be kept pruned into a shrub, or given support and allowed to scramble like a vine. It does not spread as much as some, and is thus a good choice for a restricted support like a doorway arch or container trellis, and not such a good candidate to cover a fence or an arbor. This plant is great for growing in containers, especially in hanging baskets. It also makes a fine houseplant anywhere, so if your climate is too cold, grow it indoors. In captivation your living room, say, or your kitchen - it’s likely to stay under three feet. When properly sited and cared for, it will be full with lush foliage and branches that spill over the edge of whatever container you choose.

PROPAGATION If you want to plant more vines you can use cuttings; these will root in about 2 weeks, but you will want to mist these cuttings on a frequent basis. Or you can collect seed and plant them in spring. Bleeding Heart vine is one of the most beautiful flowering vines there is and a great way to add beauty and colour to your garden or home. When your friends see it, they’ll want some cuttings to start their own... Marc Vijverberg

Orihuela Costa beaches up to standard The Councillor for Beaches, Luisa Boné, has announced that the coast has successfully passed the audits carried out by Bureau Veritas Iberia S.L. After three intensive working by the technical staff and the auditors, the tests on the local beaches resulted in them meeting the standards ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and UNE 187001 (quality mark Q for tourism quality). The inspectors have visited the beaches of Punta Prima, Cala Mosca, Cala Estaca, Glea and Mil Palmeras. The methods used by the auditors were interviews, observation of evidence (sampling) and review of documented information and among others, the following public services have been audited: Water management, Beach surveillance and civil protection, Citizen Security, Cleaning and maintenance of beaches, shows and special activities, Rescue and First Aid. Councillor Boné said: “This is great news and the result is satisfactory for all because we have not obtained in the audit any ‘nonconformity’ at all and this year has been difficult due to the storms and so a greater effort of the personnel involved in our

beaches was needed.” The city councillors for beaches, Luisa Boné, for street cleaning and solid urban waste, Dámaso Aparicio, have now set

out what targets they have planned for the coming year of 2018. Among the objectives set by the city councillor for beaches is the purchase and installation of wooden huts for the rescue service, which will match the same type of wooden furniture already installed on the beaches. These wooden huts will be designed to contain a treatment room, a relaxation area and toilets. Steps have also been taken to improve accessibility to the beaches through various measures: the acquisition of higher quality beach piers that

Olympic anniversary Mercadona shining example of good celebrations business practice

Barcelona celebrates 25th anniversary of Olympics with mock torch, original musicians and huge festival. The city has big plans for a huge celebration of the anniversary of its hosting the Olympic Games this month, with the same musicians who played at the 1992 event back on stage. Archer Antonio Rebollo will light a mock Olympic torch at the stadium in the north-eastern city on July 25, and it will be paraded through the streets by sports personalities from Catalunya and elsewhere in the country who were competing at the games a quarter of a century ago – including Juan Antonio San Epifanio, alias 'Epi'; Nacho Solozábal, Paralympic athlete Teresa Perales, and medalwinning women's grass hockey team member Elisabeth, niece of the then mayor Pasqual Maragall. Former member of the band La Fura dels Baus, Hansel Cereza, will be artistic director once again as he was in summer 1992, whilst the group who played in the closing ceremony, Los Manolos, will perform in the Plaça de Catalunya, along with the Barcelonabased band Mambo Jambo. King Felipe VI, who was then Crown Prince Felipe of Asturias and who competed in the Spanish sailing team at the 1992 games, has been invited.

Numerous other activities will take place on the last Tuesday in July, most of which will be at the Olympic Stadium on the Montjuïc mountain. City authorities recalled that an entire generation of young adults, teenagers and children – anyone, in fact, aged under 25 and possibly up to 30 – who would not have been born in time to experience the Olympics in their home metropolis or would have been too young to remember the games, and wants them to enjoy the atmosphere again in their lifetime. The 25th anniversary festival is also for older adults who were there at the time to relive one of Barcelona's most historic moments. One of the main musical acts at the Catalunya capital's Olympic Games was the famous duet, Barcelona, between Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé – but, clearly, the former is not around to recreate it and no mention has been made of the latter as yet. The song was released five years before the Barcelona Olympics, but resurrected as the anthem of the games in 1992, a year after Mercury's death.

Harvard University’s business Review has flagged up Mercadona supermarket chain as ‘an example of innovation and excellent employment’. Researchers comment on Mercadona’s strategy of ‘getting the best out of all its workers’ potential’ and in its having successfully introduced new technologies centred on improving customer experience, whilst ‘involving workers in the modernisation process without any redundancies’. Harvard Business Review says the firm is ‘an example’ of how technology can be used to ‘complement’ staff roles rather than take them away. “It helped that Mercadona has focused largely on the customer,” say the researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Sarah Kalloch and Zeynep Ton, who compiled the report. “It has not only developed new strategies to make its own operations easier, but also to improve overall customer experience. The humans working at Mercadona hand in hand with the machinery perform better than either one would on its own,” Kalloch and Ton say. As staff were ‘involved’ in developing and implementing the technology, and nobody was made redundant as a result of its being used, they saw it as a useful work tool rather than ‘the enemy’, Harvard Business Review explains.

Meanwhile, Mercadona 'took advantage of its employees' creativity'

by having them make suggestions for improving products and their packaging, and even in their transport, which has allowed the firm to save ‘millions of euros’. This way, employees on the ground who get to hear about customers’ wishes are able to offer solutions for them, Harvard Business Review says. Mercadona, originally set up in the Valencia region and now present all over Spain, has long been held as a ‘socially responsible’ and ‘staff-focused’ employer. All its staff, except for a minority of temporary ones brought in for busy periods, are on full-time fixed contracts, earning a minimum of €1,200 a month. Some stores in Barcelona and Madrid have introduced crèches for working parents.

are wider and non-slip, which will better facilitate access to the rest areas for people with reduced mobility. The wooden floor and the pergolas in these areas will be improved and the number of amphibious wheelchairs will be increased to allow bathing. All this will also be installed on beaches that do not yet have this service. In addition, toilets for the disabled are to be provided. Last but not least, Boné pointed out that she is working on the development of a project to make Cala Cerrada easier to access, so that everyone can easily reach this beach and that next year this beach will also be a candidate for the nomination of a blue flag. The city councillor for street cleaning and waste in turn announced plans for the increased elimination of Posidonia (seaweed) in comparison to this year’s contract. He also discussed the acquisition of additional waste containers for solid waste and recycling this year, which has made it possible to cope with a larger capacity of waste and to increase recycling. And finally said he intends to increase the manpower and cleaning vehicles in the coastal area. Mireille Toddington

WELCOME TO AGADIR with Vivalia Travel Agadir is a major city in Morocco, located on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean near the foot of the Atlas Mountains, just north of the point where the Sous River flows into the ocean. It is at a distance of 508 km to the south of Casablanca.

Three languages are spoken in the city: Tashelhit (first language of the majority), Moroccan Arabic, and French. The city was destroyed by an earthquake in 1960; it has been completely rebuilt with mandatory seismic standards. It is now the largest seaside resort in Morocco, where foreign tourists and many residents are attracted by an unusually mild year-round climate History The oldest cartographic mention of Agadir is on a map from 1325: at the approximate location of the modern city there was an indication of a place called Porto Mesegina, after the name of a Berber tribe already mentioned in the 12th century, the Mesguina, that is to say the Ksima. In 1505, the Portuguese, who were already installed on the Moroccan coast, founded a trading post and a fort at the foot of the hill to the sea, Santa Cruz do Cabo de Aguer on the site of the now-vanished neighborhood of Founti (named after the Portuguese word fonte meaning fountain) under a governor. Quickly, the Portuguese were exposed to the hostility of the tribes of the region. From 1530, they were blockaded in Santa Cruz. Portuguese weakness showed itself on 12 March 1541 when Sherif Saâdien Mohammed ash-Sheikh captured the fortress of Santa Cruz de Aguer. In 1572, the Casbah was built on top of the hill by Moulay Abdallah al-Ghalib, successor to Mohammed ash-Sheikh. In the 17th century, during the reign of the Berber dynasty of Tazeroualt, Agadir was a harbour of some importance, expanding its trade with Europe. There was, however, no real port nor a wharf. Agadir traded mainly in sugar, wax, copper, hides and skins. Europeans took their manufactured goods, particularly weapons and textiles. Under the reign of Sultan Moulay Ismail (1645–1727) and his successors, the trade with France, until then an active partner regressed to the English and the Dutch. In 1731, the town was completely destroyed by an earthquake. The harbour of Agadir was then ordered to be closed when Essaouira was established farther north. In 1746, the Dutch set up a trading post at the foot of the Casbah under the authority of the Sultan, and undoubtedly participated in the restoration of the city. In the years from 1930, a modern central city began to be built according to the plans of the urban planner Henri Prost, director of the Urban Planning Department of the Protectorate, and his deputy Albert Laprade: a horseshoe layout based on the waterfront around a large avenue perpendicular to the waterfront – the Avenue Lyautey, since renamed Avenue du Général Kettani. After 1950 and the opening of the new commercial port, the city grew with fishing, canning, agriculture, and mining. It also began to open up to tourism thanks to its climate and beautiful hotels. In 1959, the port was visited by the yacht of the Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis and his guest, Winston Churchill. Agadir after 1960 The current city was rebuilt 2 km further south, led by the architects Jean-François Zevaco, Elijah Azagury, Pierre Coldefy, and Claude Verdugo. Agadir became a large city of over half a million by 2004, with a large port with four basins: the commercial port with draft of 17 metres, triangle fishing, fishing port, and a pleasure boat port with marina. Agadir was the premier sardine port in the world in the 1980s and has a famous beach stretching over 10 km with one of the finest seafront promenades in the world With Marrakech, Agadir is a very important centre for

tourism to Morocco, and the city is the most important fishing port in the country. With its white buildings, wide flowered boulevards, modern hotels and European style cafes, Agadir is not a typical city of traditional Morocco but it is a modern, active and dynamic city, turned towards the future. New Talborjt This area is named after the old district of Talborjt (meaning "small fort" in local Berber, in remembrance of the water tower which was first built on the plateau in the former Talborjt). Lively, the New Talborjt which has been rebuilt away from the Old Talborjt, has as a main artery the Boulevard Mohammed Sheikh Saadi, named after the victor against the Portuguese in 1541. Some good hotels and restaurants have been built on the main arteries. Old Talborjt Overlooking the waterfront and Wadi Tildi, this old district (whose name is sometimes spelled Talbordjt) was once a shopping area and very lively with its large square where there was a weekly market, hotels, schools, mosque 90% of the buildings in Old Talborjt were destroyed or severely damaged by the earthquake in 1960. The Abattoir (Industrial area) One of the most popular neighbourhoods, it is known for its Square for taxis and buses. It is a junction that unites the heart of the city and its surroundings. This district was the least affected by the earthquake of 1960. Souk El Had This is the largest market in the region. It has about 6,000 small shops. It is surrounded by walls and has several entrances. It is organized into different sectors: furniture, crafts, clothing, vegetables, meat, spices etc. It is possible to find all kinds of handicrafts and traditional decorations. La Médina La Médina is a handicrafts space created in 1992 by the Italian artist Coco Polizzi, at Ben Sergao, a district close to Agadir 4.5 km from the city centre. Built using techniques of traditional Berber construction, it is a kind of small open-air museum, on five hectares and home to artisan workshops, a museum, individual residences, a small hotel, and an exotic garden.

The world braces itself for a future of heat waves The persistent heat waves we are experiencing are starting to ring alarm bells. Last month, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warned that several countries in the western hemisphere had experienced extreme and unusual heat waves in May and June. Portugal was struck by a series of fires fuelled by the heat, while Spain had the hottest spring on record. In Pakistan, Morocco and the UAE temperatures soared to record highs, while airplanes were grounded due to the heat in southwestern United States. And this, before summer has even begun. In the city of Turbat in Pakistan, it was 53.5ºC on 28th May, the highest temperature ever recorded there in the month of May and perhaps the highest ever recorded in Asia and even the world, barring the 56.6ºC logged in Death Valley, California, in 1913, and the 54ºC recorded in Kuwait in 2016. In California, Nevada and Arizona, eight records were broken after being set only last year. In Phoenix, Arizona, where planes were grounded because of the heat, thermometers reached 47.8ºC on 19th June. Of the 11,059 days in which temperatures have been recorded, this has happened just 15 times. “Every year, summers are getting hotter, but extreme heat is still rare,” says Ed Hawkings, a climate researcher from the Meteorological Department at Reading University. “However, these incidents of extreme heat that pose a risk to human life are becoming more frequent.”

Ricardo Francisco García Herrera, a climate expert from the Geoscience Institute at the Complutense University in Madrid explains that, every year since 1980, summers have been one day longer in Spain: “This means a rise in the average June

temperatures to the tune of 0.5 to 1.2 degrees every decade.” Last November, the WMO published a report on the global climate between 2011 and 2015, the hottest years on record – which should also include 2016. The report links the rise in temperatures to both the glut in natural disasters and climate change. These disasters include the drought in eastern and southern Africa between 2010 and 2015, floods in Southeast Asia in 2011, heat waves in India and Pakistan, and Hurricane Sandy in the US in 2012.

“Meteorologists take heat waves and the health problems they pose very seriously,” explains Clare Nullis, a WMO spokeswoman. A study by the University of Hawaii published last month by ‘Nature Climate Change’ magazine found 783

fatalities linked to heat waves in 164 cities in 36 countries between 1980 and 2014. The study, led by Colombian scientist Camilo Mora, concluded that 30 percent of the world’s population is exposed for at least 20 days a year to potentially dangerous temperatures. If measures are taken to slow down climate change, this percentage could still rise by 48

percent by the year 2100. If no measures are taken to reduce carbon emissions, it could rise by as much as 74 percent. “There are a lot of ways to define a heat wave,” says Mora. “Temperatures are studied to see when they depart from the standard range. The problem with this system is that you could detect a heat wave in the North Pole. In the report, we define the variable as a heat rise that could be fatal.” There is no such thing as a tolerable maximum temperature since much depends on humidity levels and the kind of heat the population is used to, as well as the conditioning of homes to deal with it. In general, the more humidity there is, the more dangerous heat can be. The effect of a heat wave can be catastrophic: scientists estimate that during the 2003 heat wave, the worst ever recorded in Europe, around 70,000 people died. Since then, governments everywhere have put certain measures in place such as routine visits to the elderly. Heat waves can also trigger other catastrophes such as fires, droughts, livestock death and crop loss. Think of it as climate disaster cooking over a low burner.

“According to the forecast of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC), heat waves are going to be increasingly frequent and intense in Spain and the rest of the world,” says Julio Díaz, head of the Epidemiology and Biostatistics Department at the National School of Health at Carlos III University, Madrid. “Heat waves can have diverse implications for health. Generally, heat waves kill the elderly and the sick, not those in good health. They mainly attack the circulatory and respiratory systems. The highest risk group is the over-65s – particularly women over 75.”

Turning up the heat Climate change now has its own genre, known as climate fiction. One of the most famous novels on the subject is Shackleton’s Man Goes South by Tony White, which depicts a world in which survivors have had to migrate to the far north of the planet to escape deadly temperatures. That scenario is still a long way off, but the 53.5ºC in Turbat is a concern. “We don’t need to be frightened, but we do need to be worried,” says Omid Mazdiyasni, a climate researcher at the University of California in Irvine, one of the areas most seriously afflicted by scorching heat. “There’s no direct threat to life but we do expect the heat waves to increase in intensity, frequency and severity. We need to work to reduce the impact of climate change and build an infrastructure that is resilient to extreme weather events.”

How could he? My partner and I had been trying for a baby for 8 years. We have had 5 attempts at IVF also, without luck. It was more important to my partner that we had children, than it was for me. Over time he began to blame me, and I discovered that he was seeing someone else. Last week he said he was leaving, and he said it was because I couldn’t give him children. He is now living with this other woman, and they are trying for a child. I don’t know if I can go on.

I am very sorry for your situation. I would say you have had a lucky break. What this man did was callous. However you are hurting right now, so I understand the devastation you must be feeling. I am suggesting you seek some counselling sessions, available through your GP, and if you have friends and family you can talk to, then you should ask for their support. Find someone who wants the same things out of life, as you do. There are plenty of good guys around.

How do I find out if the children is mine I have long suspected that the child my wife gave birth to in 2016, is not mine. She had an affair twelve months prior to the child’s birth. The boy looks nothing like me, and my family have commented also. We managed to patch things up and she swore the baby was mine, as the other man had had a vasectomy. I have grown to love this little lad despite my fears. Recently, I found out that the man my wife had an affair with has since fathered another child with his wife. I am very upset. I haven’t yet spoken to my wife, although she is aware that I know about the man’s new baby.

You can get a Paternity Test Kit from any good Pharmacy, or online. The test is quite simple and you would not need to alert your wife, if you didn’t want to. It would be peace of mind for you, if your suspicions are right. Get the result first, before you relay your fears again to your wife..

Iberia slammed over compulsory pregnancy tests National airline Iberia could be fined €25,000 after a recruitment agency it appointed to seek temporary workers required a pregnancy test from all female candidates, according to the daily island-based newspaper Diario de Mallorca. According to the Balearic regional ministry of work, this action counts as a ‘serious breach’ in relation to sex discrimination. However, Iberia has countered these claims, insisting the pregnancy test responded to its ‘specific health needs’ procedures to ensure pregnant women they employed could be given the medical consideration they require, with a view to their own protection and not in any way affecting their jobs or career prospects in a negative way. But work inspectors stress that Iberia has been calling for pregnancy tests for women employed all over Spain, not just in the Balearics, and that as well as the inequality aspect, it presupposes a lack of trust of potential workers and a violation of their privacy. The company’s justification is

not valid, the work inspectors say, because it means a specific ‘hurdle’ for one gender and not for the other and could, in theory,

be used as a way of screening and filtering out new staff – as in, Iberia may find another, prima facie legitimate excuse to avoid taking on women who turned out to be pregnant to hide the fact that staff members who are expecting were not required. And it is up to female staff to tell Iberia – or any company they work for – that they are pregnant once they have already been taken on, as they are not obliged to beforehand unless they wish to.

Forced pregnancy tests take away from women their right to decide when, or if, to tell the company – even if they are pregnant, they may already have decided to opt for an abortion, to give the child up for adoption or be acting as a surrogate mother, and would by definition need to disclose the fact to the company if they also revealed the pregnancy – and their decision not to become parents despite testing positive is none of their company's business. It is also an unacceptable invasion for women who are lesbians and would know for definite if they were pregnant, as they could not become so without realising, or women who cannot have children, since it effectively tells them the company taking them on does not believe this without intimate medical proof. Iberia has been ordered to stop the requirement immediately and could still be fined even if it does so, but will face far more serious action if it continues to insist on the tests despite the ruling.

Spanish Royals on official Driving examiners to visit to the United Kingdom strike 'indefinitely'

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia will highlight the importance to British society by the Spaniards who live in the UK. They will meet with scientists and businessmen hoping for an extended bilateral relationship and to transmit a message of calm and optimism in these uncertain times, given the negotiations for the UK to leave the EU recently started. Diplomatic sources admit this State visit has a tremendous symbolic importance, having been postponed on two occasions, in March 2016 for the uncertain political life in Spain and in June this year for the British election, and finally a full year after the Brexit referendum. It’s the first State visit by Spanish monarchs to Britain since 1986 and then the priority was to establish a new deeper relationship between the two countries in the framework of the EU,

and now the challenge is to maintain the same protecting umbrella. The Spanish Kings will stay in Buckingham Palace and the speech from Don Felipe before the British Parliament, and the lunch with the PM Theresa May, and the fact that Queen Elizabeth II wants to share all the British Royal Family during a gala supper on the day of their arrival. In fact, according to the sources, the bilateral relations between Spain and Great Britain are at an historical high. Institutional cooperation is very intense, especially in defence and security, but also economically and for social interaction. Spain is the largest investor in the United Kingdom - bilateral trade was in 2016 over 30 billion € (with a surplus for Spain of 8 billion €) and the United Kingdom is the main destination for Spanish investors with at least 140,000

direct jobs dependent on Spanish investments. Great Britain sends the most tourist to Spain (17.8 million in 2016 – 25 percent of the total) and between the two countries fly 35 million passengers a year, with Spain having most direct air connections with the UK (17 percent have departure or origin in Spain against 9 percent for the US) To those we add 130,000 Spaniards registered in the British consulates and the 300,000 Britons registered in Spain the real number is at least double. In British universities and study centres work 5,000 Spanish researchers and the Spanish language is taught in 70 percent of secondary schools and 89 percent in private schools. The social-cultural presence of Spain in the United Kingdom has some symbols; the director of the English National Ballet is Spanish Tamara Rojo, Spanish chefs of prestige - as Arzak or Eneko Atxa have restaurants in London and the Premier League has more than 30 Spanish players and technicians. The negotiation over Brexit is in the hands of the European Commission and does not form part of the official agenda of the King, but it is bound to be mentioned during some aspects in the visit, which includes meetings with Spanish businessmen and collectives. Neither will Gibraltar be mentioned given Spain’s position is firm, but this has not handicapped mutual relations.

Driving examiners in Spain have announced an 'indefinite' strike starting on Monday, 4th September following a demonstration to be held on Tuesday, 25th July. Strikes held three days a week from Monday to Wednesday in June mean that 31,000 driving tests have already had to be cancelled, and it is feared that if the current trend continues, anyone applying now to take their test will not get a date until 2018. Examiners say they have waited 10 years for a regular salary bonus in keeping with their job requirements, namely the technical complexity, level of responsibility and the risks involved, saying it is unfair they are paid the same as driving school office staff.They are also protesting over the lack of examiners which means they often have to double up and suffer

huge backlogs. The Spanish Confederation of Driving Schools, which are State-run and belong to the General Directorate of Traffic, has urged examiners to call off the strikes. Meanwhile, the Council of Ministers has agreed to create a new ‘specialist area’ or key job title for examiners, and to take on another 505 of them before the end of 2017. This will involve advertising in-house promotions for 435 existing instructors to become examiners, and will include 22 positions set aside for those with disabilities. It also means 60 percent of existing examiners will be able to advance in their careers and be given pay rises. But until concrete plans are on the table which examiners find satisfactory, they say they will not stop their plans to strike.

The running of the bulls

Against a backdrop of hot weather, cloudy skies and political controversy, Pamplona inaugurated its world-famous Sanfermines. Following tradition, a rocket was launched from a balcony at the seat of local government – an event known as the Chupinazo – setting off nine days of uninterrupted partying that will set the city back €1.3 million, a 3 percent increase from last year’s budget. The official San Fermín 2017

program lists around 425 events between now and 14th July, ranging from concerts to puppet theater, sports activities, dance shows, parades, fireworks displays, bullfights and religious events. The main event on the first day, outside the Chupinazo itself, is the Marcha a Vísperas, a concert scheduled for 8pm inside the Church of San Lorenzo, where the choir of the Cathedral Music Chapel and the Navarre Symphony Orchestra will perform a religious piece by Mariano García and Fernando Remach. Around 3,500 police officers will be patrolling the streets to keep the crowds under control. The population of Pamplona is expected to swell from 200,000 to around one million during the nine-day festival. The morning bull runs, or encierros, are a major element of the Sanfermines, and as such, there will be 10 medical stands manned by 70 health professionals along the 850meter route that the bulls will take each morning. A fleet of 16 ambulances will be dispatched to the area.

Figures released by local authorities show that there were 16,448 runners last year, or 181 fewer than in 2015. The tradition of running bulls through the streets of Pamplona during the Sanfermines fiestas dates back to the late 16th century, when the animals due to be fought in that afternoon’s corrida would be let loose in the early morning led by a man on horseback and corralled

through the narrow streets toward the bullring, while crowds armed with clubs and stakes lining the route would administer them a sound beating. Inevitably, some got caught up in the melee. It was during the 19th century that the Sanfermines took on their current scope, broadening into a popular fiesta through the participation of troupes of actors and circuses. The running of the bulls would take on an international dimension in 1925 thanks to Ernest Hemingway, who reported on them for The Toronto Star Weekly. He returned the following year, determined to run with the bulls, joining in during the final stage. Shortly before reaching the bullring, he was knocked down by one of the animals and was injured slightly. The press reported that he had been gored, a piece of “fake news” that Hemingway never chose to correct.

History In 1928, Hemingway published ‘The Sun also Rises’, set in Pamplona during the Sanfermines; the rest, as they say is history. A 1954 survey carried out by Spanish tourist offices around the world showed that almost 90 percent of visitors to Pamplona had read the novel. Pamplona offers daytime parties that are just as exhilarating for whoever wants to escape what we could call the nocturnal globalization of revelry. It’s true that Sanfermines at night is like any other party multiplied by a thousand, but what really sets it apart are the daytime celebrations, dominated by parents and children (all sparkling clean in their red and white – which, needless to say, will not be the case with the crowd that

follows at night), but also thousands of festival-goers that stick to more traditional sleeping schedules. To the delight of the children, the streets are filled with roaming puppets called gigantes, large hollow figures with papier mache heads, and cabezudos, human-sized costumes with oversized heads. Meanwhile, older spectators fill the terraces of Plaza del Castillo, Carlos III, Taconera, and the rest of the city, as well as the countless bars of Pamplona for that sacred pre-meal snack. Some recommended areas around San Nicolás and San Gregori, which is the heart and soul of the historic quarter of Pamplones, include Otano, Roch, El Burgalés, Museo, Baserri, El Marrano and Txoko in Plaza del Castillo.

If your home is currently on the market, buyers will be coming inside to have a good look around. We all would love it if they would buy from seeing a photo, but hey… that just isn’t going to happen! They like to see the size of a room… remember, they’re trying to imagine how they can fit their own lives in there, and if you have a house full of clutter, their eyes will be drawn to all of those ornaments and souvenirs and not to the actual space the room is offering. Now is the perfect time to have a good sort through any unwanted items. Box up those ornaments and if you haven’t used it during the last 2 years, give it a new life with someone else! Help support your local charity, they’re always grateful for donations. Once you’ve cleared all that clutter, walk through every room as if you were the buyer. Any paint touch ups needed? Now’s the time to get it done! Any repairs that need doing, do them now! Never promise to get them done… overpromising and under-delivering is not the

best way to sell a house. Now for the stressful part… Buyers walking through the memories of your life and making comments like “I’d change this”, or “I don’t like that” can be quite distressing. It doesn’t have to be a painful process! The simplest solution is to let your agent do the showing for you. If you’re hanging around for the viewing, you’re the “unwanted chaperone”. I’m sorry to say, but it’s the reality. Every buyer feels embarrassed walking through someone else’s home, and they won’t even look at every room properly if the owner is in the house watching their every move. Here’s the solution…. Leave for a little while. Sitting outside is perfectly acceptable, but don’t be inside! I know it can be irritating and you may be “biting at the bit” to inform the buyer of your upgrades. Of course, brand new appliances are always welcome over old worn out ones, but not everything you consider an upgrade is going to be a positive for every buyer. Most buyers make offers and always have reasons why they’re low… but now your home is ready for a viewing appointment, you’ll have more reasons why closest to the asking price is best! Remember, your buyer is just around the corner and can view at any time. The difference between your home and someone else’s…. YOU’RE the ones that will be ready! Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough! See our advert in the centre pages of this newspaper. www.homes4u.es

The parts of Spain developers would most like to get their hands on For many people, the first image that springs to mind when they think of the Spanish coastline is that of the crowded beaches of popular tourist resorts such as Benidorm, or the more built-up areas of the vacation island of Mallorca. But some stretches of Spain’s 7,880-kilometer coastline have been spared by the decades of rampant development spurred on by both mass tourism and property speculation. It is these remnant areas that Greenpeace warns could be the target of a possible new “golden age of property” in Spain. In a new report looking at coastal development in the country from 1987 to 2011, the environmental group has identified 53 areas it believes are the most “desirable” for builders, calling for greater protection for these housingfree zones before the bulldozers roll in. The Balearic and Canary Islands are included, and no province is spared, although the list is heavily weighted towards the country’s south and east. The areas selected by Greenpeace as being most at risk all share several features in common. They are stretches of coast that border protected areas, have good road links and are easy to access. They also enjoy either only limited environmental protection or no safeguards at all. “We have to look at these areas really closely and treat them with care,” says Pilar Marcos, who is heading Greenpeace’s “Protección a toda costa” (Protection at any cost) campaign, which aims to boost the environmental safeguards for those areas it believes are under threat. Among the group’s demands is that at-risk coastal areas currently managed via the European Union’s Natura 2000 environment protection network be reclassified as

protected spaces as per Spanish law. This would see them be subject to more stringent environmental safeguards. The new Greenpeace report identifies the Andalusian provinces of Cádiz and Málaga as the greatest victims of frontline coastal overdevelopment. It notes that areas including the coastal stretches encompassing ChipionaSanlúcar and Barbate-Zahara in Cádiz, as well as VélezMálaga in Malaga, are among the five most-at-risk zones in terms of future development. In the hugely popular province of Alicante, Vila Joiosa makes the Greenpeace list, while in Valencia province, the area around Denia – popular as a beach destination for people from Madrid – is included. The environmental group also highlights the Ebro Delta area in Catalonia as being at risk. In the Balearics, the interior of the island of Formentera and the southwest of Ibiza are included. Seven zones in the Canary Islands are considered under threat including the north of Gran Canaria, while at the other end of the country, the Galician areas of Boiro and Finisterre have been put on the watchlist. The Greenpeace study, based on an investigation of 21,000 land plots nationwide, also shows that 31.8 percent of publicly owned land in Spain has been built on. In terms of the 10 kilometres closest to the coast, Barcelona province heads the rankings with 31.7 percent of public land in that zone having been developed. In second-placed Alicante that figure is 21.9 percent while in Malaga it is 20.5 percent. Huelva province, in Andalusia, has the most protected coastline with a total of 61.5 percent, while Tenerife is second with 59.7 percent and Las Palmas is next with 51.6 percent.

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.” Why not hold a fundraising event in aid of Tasha’s Euro Appeal? If you, your local bar, business,

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 have taken 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, in early June the Costa Blanca People offered 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. There came a huge blow just last week when Andy almost lost Tasha. He said, “It started as a simple stomach bug – but of course she has no immune system so simple infections can be deadly – she has light sensitivity in one eye, but all of a sudden she said everything had gone black, she sounded really scared, and before I could reply, she had lost consciousness.” What followed was a harrowing ordeal where for two hours, medical teams tried to resuscitate Tasha. Eventually they managed to stabilise her and a week later, she was able to go home where Andy is monitoring her condition as closely as ever.

Tips for viewing a second property whilst on holiday If the latest data for international tourist arrivals to Spain is anything to go by, then the land of sun, sea and sangria is set for a sizzling summer. Tourist arrivals to Spain rose 16 per cent year-on-year to just over 7 million in April 2017 with holidaymakers from the UK totaling 1.523 million, up 7 per cent from the previous year. The Balearic Islands (comprising Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera) saw UK tourist arrivals rise by 9.3 per cent in April with the Valencian Community, home of the hugely popular Costa Blanca region, welcoming 14 per cent more Brits in the first four months of 2017 according to the Spanish tourism authority, Frontur. For those who’ll fall in love with Spain this summer and don’t want the holiday to end, leading house-builder (operating across Spain since 1958), Taylor Wimpey Espana, has compiled 5 top tips for viewing a holiday home whilst on vacation: 1. Choose the area you want to buy in - Before you view any properties, make sure to select the right location that fits all your holiday home needs perfectly. You might love where your hotel is located for two weeks of the year but would it be right for longer-term living? What everyday amenities are nearby? How easy it is to reach the airport? What will it be like out of season? 2. Consider your property type wisely - Fancy a house close to the beach? Spacious apartment or prestigious townhouse? Consider what you want from your holiday home in Spain? How many people will be using it and how often? How much maintenance might it require? How much outside space does it offer and what about on-site facilities such as a swimming pool or children’s play area? What about parking? 3. Book viewing appointment as early as possible - To avoid disappointment during the peak season, arrange in advance to view properties you are

interested in. Make sure you book no-obligation personal viewings at a time which suits you - and your sunbathing schedule. 4. Prepare your questions - You wouldn’t buy a house in the UK without asking questions so why would you do so in Spain? No questions should be is too big or too small, so prepare a list of queries about the property, the area, the company and the buying process and ask away. 5. Learn the lingo - Whilst English is widely spoken across Spain, it’s always a valued gesture to learn the basics of Spanish to help integration. Even a few words such as hola (hello), adiós (goodbye), buenos días (good morning), hoy (today) mañana (tomorrow), por favor (please) and gracias (thank you) will go a long way. For those more advanced, then some useful property related vocab. might include comprar (to buy), viviendas (properties), número habitaciones (number of rooms) and viviendas de vacaciones (holiday homes).

The Secret Life of Pets 7.30pm - Sky Movies Premiere

Max (Louis C.K.) is a spoiled terrier who enjoys a comfortable life in a New York building until his owner adopts Duke, a giant and unruly canine. During their walk outside, they encounter a group of ferocious alley cats and wind up in a truck that's bound for the pound. Luckily, a rebellious bunny named Snowball swoops in to save the doggy duo from captivity. In exchange, Snowball demands that Max and Duke join his gang of abandoned pets on a mission against the humans who’ve done them wrong.

Trees helped with hydration The Councillor for the Environment, Miguel Angel Fernandez, has taken part in an activity organised by the Council and water company Hidraqua, in collaboration with the Association of Parties of Moors and Christians Santas Justa and Rufina, to irrigate 700 trees in San Miguel. The trees were planted by schoolchildren from across Orihuela last January as part of the Day of the Tree celebrations. The manager of Hidraqua, Juan JosĂŠ

Alonso explained that in the high temperatures it is necessary to carry out irrigation to help maintain the health of the trees. The trees were originally donated by the Ministry of the Environment and ensuring their survival to protect the investment and the hard work done by the children is important. A compost, made from municipal cuttings and slurry from the treatment plant was also used to

Helping hands provide the plants with the necessary nutrients to survive. Mireille Toddington

Spain first in Europe to fit 'smart' electricity meters Spain will be the first country in the whole of Europe to replace analogue electricity meters with digital, remotely-operated versions once it has fitted them all by the end of 2018. The idea of the new ‘smart’ meters is that all householders or traders can work out their consumption by the minute, and that they can be read from a central office without having to send out workers to do so manually. Customers will therefore be able to work out which appliances and at what times of day the most power is used, and adjust accordingly to save themselves money. They will also be able to alter the power level on demand – whilst it can be frustrating that boiling the kettle while the washing machine is on causes the electricity to trip, many consumers prefer not to upgrade their supply as this ‘overload warning’ acts as a brake and prevents their usage being too high, but smart meters mean they can temporarily up the wattage so they can use the oven, microwave and dishwasher all at once, then turn it back down so they are not tempted to over-consume afterwards. ‘Estimated’ readings will no longer have to apply – where these are inaccurate and too low, they can lead to the subsequent bill being much higher to compensate, but with a smart meter, all readings are correct as the power company only has to look at a computer. Fixing breakdowns or supply cuts will also be much quicker and easier. And by the time every household and business

premises in Spain has a ‘smart’ meter, it will be impossible for fraudsters to hook up to someone else's supply to avoid paying. Neighbourhoods affected by squatters, or by clandestine marijuana plantations, remain a huge headache for authorities, electricity boards and, particularly customers, since even where the illegal occupants hook up to the public supply rather than tapping into another person's and forcing up their bills, the ‘leakage’ caused by fraudulent use pushes the price up for everyone. But this will be a thing of the past by the year 2019.

Although many other countries are considering installing, or have already installed, smart meters, Spain is a world leader in this respect and has jumped the gun ahead of everyone else, according to GTM Research, part of world-leading energy experts Greentech Media. The European Commission has ordered all member States in the EU to ensure that 80 percent of its meters are the ‘smart’ version by the year 2020, although considerable delays are

expected. Only Spain and the UK have decided to substitute all meters and given themselves a deadline, and Spain's selfimposed time limit will come before that of Great Britain. Elsewhere, Germany has decided to stick to the 80 percent limit, whilst France, The Netherlands and Denmark intend to replace 95 percent of meters. Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Luxembourg have already finished their smart-meter fittings as they started earlier than the rest of Europe, but have chosen not to do so with every single one in the country, unlike the UK and Spain. World leader This means Spain will, by New Year's Eve 2018, be the only country in Europe, if not the world, to have done away with analogue meters altogether. Its plan was to replace seven in 10 meters with digital versions by the end of last year, although it only managed 62 percent. Per company, Gas Natural Fenosa and Endesa have each replaced 86 percent of their meters; Iberdrola, 90 percent; EDP, 78.5 percent, and Viesgo has already finished. But the National Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC) has warned that all electricity boards must inform their customers clearly about the new meters before they are fitted, how they work and whether this will affect their bills, since many will be unaware of these issues. Already, the CNMC has announced plans to take action against around 156 small suppliers for flouting this rule.

More building plans for Torrevieja For almost a decade the plan was frozen to build a commercial centre in the middle of Torrevieja next to the Colonia San Esteban neighbourhood. Now it looks as though it’s set to go again as the town hall has granted a licence for a number of the activities that are planned. The company presenting the project had already been granted a licence for the building work as far back as 2005. However, work on the project stopped the year after. At the end of 2015 the project was once more started again with applications to the town hall. They have been waiting for the go ahead for all the activities rather than beginning the work again without being certain that the proposals would be accepted by the town hall. The plot extends to 45,000 square metres and has the capacity to admit 500 people. They have needed at least five different licences including ones for an underground car park, hotel, spa with

gymnasium and commercial centre with cinemas. The building will be situated in the streets of calles San Pascual, Moriones, avenida de las Habaneras and Patricio Zammit. It is close to the courts, the bus station, the Guardia Civil station and the new Semana Santa museum. When the basement car park was being completed the works stopped and the cranes were abandoned for almost six years. The project is estimated to cost around 18 million euros and will have two floors underground, a basement, ground floor and five upper floors. A total floor space of 45,000 m2. Of this 12,425 m”2 will be for commercial use, there will be 14,000m2of parking spaces,10,000 m2 for the hotel with more than 100 rooms and 7,000 m2 of offices including the cinema. The foundations of the underground car park have already been dug out and the project is ready to go. Suzanne O’Connell

hose of you who know me personally will be aware that I have just come back from an act finding break to Benidorm. What struck me was not the acts themselves, but the noise levels. With bars in out area being bombarded with police visits due to licensing and noise levels it makes me wonder why there has to be this summertime blitz every year. I have been told that there is no entertainment licence and if one does exist then it is nigh on impossible to get it. So how come the rules don’t seem to apply in Benidorm, where venues have all the doors open and music blasting out until up to 6am? The room in my hotel was supposedly sound proof, but even with earplugs in I could still hear the bass of a nearby act booming until the wee small hours. I am all for live entertainment (or I wouldn’t have a business) but the lack of consistency with rules and regulations for bars to actually have entertainment in confusing and frustrating to say the least. We seem to go through this every summer. I am not sure if I am right but to me it seems that it always occurs when the summer vacationer come to their holiday homes and the government coffers are empty from the massive amount of fiestas that have to be paid for at this time of year. Shoot me if I am wrong. Long time favourite soul and motown vocalist Celena Deans starts her month tour of Spain this week. Celena was a former resident in Spain, but now lives in the UK. Her Diana Ross show was such a hit last summer when she came for a week that she has had to extend her working holiday to a month this year. She will be at La Bodegueta in Lo Crispin on Tuesday, The Leprechaun in Santa Pola Del Este on Saturday and on Sunday at New Yorks in Lo Santiago in Murcia. The show takes you on a journey with hits like “Chain Reaction” “ Baby Love” and many more Diana Ross and Supremes classics. With the second half of the show full of soul and motown dance floor fillers Celena show is one to get up and dance the night away. As always, if you would like your events listed, please email me full details in plenty of time please to letsrockshowslive@gmail.com. Venues needing acts can find me all over Facebook (bit of an addict ha, ha) or go to my website – www.lrshows.com or telephone 697501992 Keep Entertainment Live on the Costa Blanca Jax Lawson xx

The APAH Summer Fair The APAH Summer Fair was held on the car park of the Iceland/Overseas Supermarket store in San Javier. The weather was very unkind, it started out very windy; making the keeping of items on the tables a huge challenge. The fair had only been going for a couple of hours, when the sky went black, the thunder and lightning arrived, and soon after the rain was a deluge. So sadly rain very much 'stopped play' and organiers were forced to pack up a couple of hours early than intended. They did manage to raise 515 euros however, and would very much like to thank Lisa and all her staff at Iceland, and all their customers for their support. There will be a Christmas Fair in December, which will mark the end of Iceland's year long sponsorship of APAH Animal Rescue.

Cleaning the ramblas Councillor Miguel Ángel Fernández has highlighted the work that has been going on to clean and fix up the ravines and water channels in Orihuela Costa, which the council asked the Segura Hydrographic Confederation to do in March. “This is necessary work to guarantee the maintenance of these areas that are state owned,” he explained. The CHS has been working on this for several weeks and is due to finish in August. The programme includes cleaning and removing rubbish and items swept in the Cañada de Matamoros by the December rains and included the section from the motorway to the mouth of the sea. The same work is being carried out in the Barranco del Garbanzuelo, removing debris brought by the heavy rains. In the Cañada de las Estacas they are repairing the right hand bank and the bed through Las Filipinas and in the Cañada de la Mosca they are cleaning and removing trees from the motorway to the mouth. Councillor Fernández added that the Town Hall plans to finish off the work in áreas where the CHS has not done cleaning or repairs. He praised the CHS for acting quickly and asked the public not to throw rubbish, plant cuttings, construction waste or anything else into the ravines - all of which has been found during this work.

ClĂnica Mejorate As the years pass, the skin can lose luminosity and flexibility, purity; it reflects the ravages of stress and diet, blemishes can appear. For this reason, we have spoken this week to Clinica Mejorate for Dr. Perez Abad to explain to us first hand about thread facelifts, one of the most recent techniques of aesthetic medicine without surgery, as well as the recommended treatments for patients of over 45 years of age. In recent times the aesthetic treatments within our reach have multiplied, some with excellent results, which bring us closer to a younger looking version of ourselves. Other treatments, not so natural, can result in somewhat artificial results. Dr. Perez Abad defends treatments and aesthetic medicine from a perspective of health and integral well-being, combining them well to get a natural look and "find ourselves comfortable with ourselves". From vitamins to hyaluronic acid, fillers to collagen, and more ... all of these can help to delay and even avoid the operating room, but the doctor

recommends "to start when problems arise". Known as the "facelift without surgery" the thread facelift is a technique by which the threads lift the face automatically in a very natural way and, in addition, "promote the formation of collagen of the own skin", so that within a few weeks the skin is

much more nourished. These strands are dissolvable and last between one year and a half to two years. There are different types of threads depending on the effect you want to achieve or the area to be treated, explained the doctor. "We must take care of sun protection and moisturizing from a young age" stresses Dr Perez Abad explains. Not only that, the

doctor points out, there are many treatments for other problems such as acne scars, wrinkles and sun spots. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we have a series of medical peeling treatments combined with aparatology (known as IPL) More and more people find that although they have not had acne in their youth begins to suffer from adults due to hormonal problems and we can get rid of those marks with IPL and peelingâ&#x20AC;?. The doctor also touched on the subject of botox: "Botox has very bad press but is a fantastic treatment when administered correctly." The tensioning threads have been a discovery for the oval, neck, neckline and hand area and, although it is not a facelift like the surgery in the operating rooms, "it does supplement and prevent", he concluded. To find out about any of these age defying treatments, book a free consultation at Clinica Mejorate (see their main advert on page 56)

Spanish doctors Fun excursions for the summer! give lifeline to baby Charlie Gard A letter from Spanish hospital saves British baby Charlie Gard's life giving hope for treatment doctors and courts dismissed. British toddler Charlie Gard has been given a new hope by Barcelona's Vall d’Hebrón hospital research unit – Great Ormond Street has agreed not to switch off his life support after receiving a letter from scientists showing evidence the experimental treatment his parents want to fund for him can in fact work. Dr Ramón Martí, head of the neuromuscular and mitochondrial pathology unit at the Vall d’Hebrón Research Institute and his colleague Yolanda Cámara, plus two specialists from the Bambino Gesù hospital in Rome, two researchers from the University of Columbia in the USA, and one from the University of Cambridge in the UK have all signed the missive. The letter from Barcelona says 19 patients are currently being given the experimental treatment 11-month-old Charlie's parents Chris and Connie have crowdfunded, of whom 13 are in Spain, all of whom suffer a genetic disorder 'biochemically similar' to that of the little British boy. The letter has reached Great Ormond Street, whose management has asked the Supreme Court for a second hearing. “We have just received evidence that the treatment we spoke of can indeed pass through the blood-brain barrier and reach the spinal cord fluid, meaning there is a chance it may work and that Charlie Gard’s condition may improve,” Dr

Martí said in his letter. The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom will now need to decide whether to uphold its decision to switch Charlie off and ‘let him die with dignity’, or whether to allow his parents to try the treatment they had planned to pay for him to have in the USA. Pope Francisco and Donald Trump have already called for the baby to be kept alive. Charlie’s parents were forced to go to court to fight Great Ormond Street’s decision to turn off life support, since doctors insisted the treatment would not improve his quality of life and he would continue to be extremely badly braindamaged, possibly dying in agony. The Supreme Court backed the doctors, so Chris and Connie went to the European Court of Justice which, after reviewing medical recommendations, upheld the Supreme Court's verdict. This meant Charlie was due to be ‘put to sleep’ against his parents’ wishes and despite the fact they had raised the money to fund his treatment themselves, at no cost to the State. The baby’s plight has caused huge debate in the UK and worldwide, with the general consensus in British society being that the final decision should be made by Charlie's parents, particularly as the NHS does not have to use its resources for a treatment that may or may not prove effective. But Charlie's fate is not yet sealed – and his life could ultimately be saved thanks to a letter from a Spanish hospital.

One in three toddlers owns a mobile or tablet A Third of pre-school children have their own mobile phone or tablet, and 50 percent of them use these without adult supervision, says a recent study in Australia which covers several countries in the western world. And by the time they start school twothirds will have their own devices and be spending up to 44 hours a week on them, making them more than a full-time job. The research was carried out by Dr Anthea Rhodes from a hospital in Melbourne, who calls the trend ‘very worrying’. But concerns have already been raised in the last few years about mobile phone addiction in Spain, with at least two youngsters aged 12 and 13 known to have been placed in treatment. And an earlier study in Barcelona warned of the risks of pre-teens using tablets and mobiles, since these can damage their eyes at a very young age – and even older teenagers should restrict their use to one or two hours a day. Dr Rhodes says children who overuse tablets and mobiles are at risk of suffering weight gain, emotional and social problems, and sleep disturbance, among other health issues – in fact, her study shows that 50 percent of children use their devices in bed at night. But although two-thirds of families say the amount of time their children spend on their phones and tablets is a regular source of conflict, a whopping 85 percent

admit to using these devices as a ‘digital babysitter’. “Every hour a child spends on one of these devices is an hour in which he or she is not practising physical activity, playing, or interacting personally,” Dr Rhodes says. Conversely, recent psychological research has shown how contacting friends on social media – typically via

their interactions, potentially strengthening the bonds. Friendships with an online element typically progress at four times the speed of those which only rely upon face-to-face contact. And online contact can help children develop social skills where they lack these in person, particularly through feeling selfconscious. Tablets are also proving to be a money-

tablets or mobiles – can be highly beneficial to children’s development. The absence of factors such as shyness, speech impediments, awkwardness or lack of physical attraction, mean ‘online friends’ are likely to disclose more about themselves and feel more confident in

saver for parents in Spain: gradually, more and more schools are using e-books instead of paper textbooks in the classroom and, as families have to buy these for their children every year, their availability in tablet format saves them around €200 to €300 per child.

Planning for the Worst In the UK recently the emergency services were involved in Rescue Day, an event where they could practice emergency rescue procedures whilst being watched by members of the public and the press. Similar training exercises are carried out globally each week, although not normally in public view. In November, a serious crash simulation will be taking place at Alicante-Elche airport, and although this is not open for public viewing, it is inevitable that the event will

be witnessed, although, as best as possible, it would be better to avoid the area unless it falls within your normal transport route. The Valencian regional agency of security and response to emergencies organises a large-scale simulacrum like this every year in each of the Valencian provinces. Last year, a metro crash simulation involving several vehicles with fatalities and injuries was carried out in the Valencian town of Paterna. This year, in November, the Emergency Response and Security Agency has convened the first preparatory meeting in which a first draft of the work has been submitted to the participating agencies. Among the attendants were representatives of the municipalities of Alicante and Elche; Subdelegation of the Government of Alicante, Guardia Civil Guard, National Police, Emergency Military Unit, Alicante-Elche Airport, Provincial Fire Consortium of Alicante, Conselleria of Sanitat Universal and Public Health, Autonomous Police of the Generalitat, Directorate of the Institute of Legal Medicine, Forest Firefighters of the Generalitat, ComunidadValencian Red Cross, DYA Elche and PsychoEmergencies Association ComunitatValenciana. According to JosĂŠ MarĂaĂ ngel, the person responsible for coordinating the simulacrum, there will be arecreation of a serious commercial plane accident with multiple victims in the surroundings of the Alicante-Elche airport based on the following sequence of events: The apparatus, with 100 passengers on board plus the crew, is ready to land and falls to the rugged ground about 4 kilometres from the runway. Then, after

the initial impact, the plane splits in two, giving rise to two scenarios more or less

of the modules of emergency services, who will act like injured passengers and

close together (one in the municipal area of Santa Pola and the other in Elche). There are a large number of injured and deceased, and also numerous relatives of passengers waiting in the airport terminal. The Emergency Coordination Centre of the Generalitat assesses the situation and activates the Territorial Emergency Plan of the Region of Valencia, Emergency Situation 2, and constitutes two Advanced Command Posts (one in each scenario), while mobilising the Basic Units. Also in the first moments, a Family Care Centre is set up at the airport, which will later be transferred to another location yet to be determined. As it is a simulation with multiple victims, it is foreseen that it will require the participation of a hundred of extras, formed mostly of students of nursing and

relatives of the wounded and deceased. Forty mannequins will also allow

emergency and health agencies to test their protocols of action. Finally, being that the incident involves a commercial aircraft with passengers of different nationalities, it is planned to contact the British and Swiss consulates in Alicante, with the aim of collaborating in the implementation of protocols of action of identification of victims and wounded, and care for family members. Finally, as the plan draws closer, road closures and restricted zones will be planned, with diversions put in place, but as always in this sort of situation, dramatic though it might be to consider becoming an observer and watching the action unfold, the best course of action during the simulation will be to stay well clear and allow the emergency services to practice what we all hope will never happen in reality.

BETTAS Paddy’s TORREVIEJA Point Golf RFC KEEP Society STRIDING FORWARD This week after training on the beach on Wednesday they were back to the athletics track, but in the morning, and they had a couple of players training with them from the Dubai Exiles that have been going for 50 years now. These young ladies will be training with them throughout the summer, which is great for this new club to have such experienced players with them. Due to the summer festivals etc it would be best to contact Javi on the number below to check where the training is, but normally on Wednesday it will be on the beach at Naufragos Beach Torrevieja from 20.30-22.00. Organisers are looking forward to seeing even more people down there this week, so come and join the newest ladies team in the area. For more information about the team and training contact Javi on 603 727 179

This month saw us compete for the Pub Championship at a very hot Las Colinas. The course was a little disappointing especially the greens which were very bumpy due to recent hollowcoring but this did not deter from an enjoyable day. Thanks once again to Rory, Hazel and the staff at Paddy's for looking after us - the hungry and thirsty golfers. NTP hole 5 John Batterby, hole 7 Paul Healy, hole 10 Jimmy Kiernan, hole 14 Jim Fegan, hole 17 Tony Stafford. Longest Drive Neal O'Dowd. The 2's pot was shared by Jim Fegan and Paul Healy. Best Guest Kevin Carty 37pts. 3rd place Terry Fitzgerald 33pts, 2nd place Paul Healy 33pts c/b, Winner of the Pub Championship Tony Stafford 37pts. Our next outing is to La Serena on 9th August. Photo shows Rory with Paul Healy.

ROCKETS GOLF SOCIETY Only 20 minutes drive to our home course for our monthly Stableford. Wall to wall sunshine, but it was not as warm as it has been . Course now in brilliant condition. Greens very fast now they have settled down. This is not a high handicappers course as shown by the category results. In the Gold Gategory Ron Swift ( after coaching from his son when in England ) came in with the top score of the day 34 pts, followed by Rod Smith with 33 pts then Ron Chambers with 28 point on count back. In the Silver Category Geoff Wild took first place ( again )with 33 points. Paul Mutter took second place with 24 points and in 3rd place Malcolm Woods with 23 points. Ron Swift took the longest Drive and the only nearest the pin recorded Best Guest G Dobson Back to Bar Patricia on Torreta 3 for Lovely Bangers and Chips. Thanks for making us welcome Neil. 25th July we have a trip to Font de Llop where the first tee is 10.00am. Be there by 09.15 am

Blow for Torry With training starting next Monday, it was a late double blow for the Preferente side after negotiations fell through with a project that would have seen an amazing array of international talent join the club to help them battle for a return to the third division. The club thought they had landed a brilliant coup with under 20 internationals from New Zealand and Australia, as well as some experienced players from the USA to add to several UK born imports. But time ran out, as problems surfaced in finding accommodation for these new arrivals and others accepting alternative contracts as the clock ticked too close to the start of new seasons. Sadly another not joining the ranks will be 23 year old Lewis Allen who has signed for group six stalwarts, Novelda. All his Torry fans will wish Lewis well in his new venture. Torry will only have a handful of familiar faces on show once they take to the training field, so fans will have to make sure they get to the pre-season friendly matches to get a handle on who is who. The second setback for the club came in the form of a communication from the Town Hall to say that they were running behind schedule and not able to

guarantee that the Vicente Garcia ground would be ready in time for the start of the league programme on 3rd September. The club and fans were excited to be coming home to their favoured stadium, with the Town Hall contracting for suitable changing rooms for away sides and officials. Now it looks as though a handful of the early matches will have to be played at the Nelson Mandela. The club wants as many to follow the team as possible and cheer them on to promotion, just as they did in those heady days of 12 years ago. Tickets at the gate have been reduced by 30%, with those preferring to pay this way, only spending €7. However, a season ticket is terrific value at a 40% discount from last year, costing €75. These will go on sale this week from the Torry Army office in San Luis. Manager Pedreno has his work cut out to assemble a side full of local aspirants and mould them into a promotion winning outfit. He has six weeks to demonstrate his ability and desire. He will be relying on several young players making their mark and a big name for themselves in the months ahead. Jeff Scott Vice president CD Torrevieja

So, after just one week of watching Romelu Lukaku try and control a ball in training and Jose Mourinho is very open to Zlatan Ibrahimovic returning to the club when fit. United beat LA Galaxy 5-2 in their first match in the States. Yes, five goals scored and their £75m striker didn’t get one of them. Marcus Rashford got a couple though, leading to Jose talking about the possibility of them both playing up-front when the season starts, something that categorically won’t happen as soon as Mourinho remembers that playing two strikers will make it difficult to play a back nine.

and Bakayoko in midfield together is quite a frightening prospect. They will almost be urging Eden Hazard to give the ball away so they can race each other in winning it back again. Nemanja Matic has been left out of Chelsea’s tour squad and is thought to be heading to Juventus.

Arsenal he wants to play for a club in the Champions League. Arsenal fans are taking that as meaning Alexis is well up for firing Arsenal back into 4th place whereas the rest of the world are taking bets on whether it will be City, United or Chelsea announcing his signing in a daft video before the season kicks off.

We should all give credit to Daniel Levy at Tottenham Hotspur. He knows

Talking of daft player reveal videos, I am doffing my cap to the team at Southampton who came up with the best bit of social media last week. Having seen the recent efforts by Arsenal, Swansea City and Manchester United they realised the only way they could compete was by spoofing it. And spoof it they did, you must try and find it. By the time you read this Leicester City will have just about stopped laughing at the fax they got from AS Roma offering them £20m for Riyad Mahrez who, don’t forget, has asked to leave the club because they keep offering their own £20m for Watford’s Troy Deeney and

Antonio Conte finally had something to smile about over the weekend, supposedly pipping United to the signing of Tiemoue Bakayoko for a smite under £40m. The mere thought of Kante Daniel Levy

Antonio Conte

Watford themselves have pulled off a fine deal, getting Nathaniel Chalobah to return to Vicarage Road for just £5m. Sign fitters are being called into Chelsea’s Cobham training academy later in the week to erect a massive “FOR SALE” sign over all the youth prospects, finally confirming that it is no more than a battery farm to them and they have no intention of letting their youth team turkeys see the Christmas Dinner of the first team. Liverpool have been searching high and low for anyone that might be a better left back option than James Milner or Alberto Moreno and have settled on a Scot that got relegated last season. Hull City’s Andrew Robertson is believed to be heading off to Anfield, looking like a guy who just realised he has the winning tombola ticket. Probably more interesting at Liverpool is their pursuit of RB Leipzig’s Nabi Keita. Despite RB Leipzig insisting the midfielder is “not for sale” whilst winking at Jurgen Klopp and mouthing “but he might be if you ask really, really nicely” it looks like a deal for around £70m might happen. At the time of writing, Liverpool had already had a £57m bid rejected just to open the dialogue - the initial dialogue being, I presume, “don’t take the mick lads”.

how to sell players. Who else in the game could have talked Manchester City into parting with £53m in exchange for Kyle Walker? Monaco’s Benjamin Mendy is likely to patrol the other flank. Alexandre Lacazette didn’t take long to find his scoring boots for Arsenal, netting in their win over Sydney FC. Arsene Wenger’s men followed that win up with a victory over Western Sydney, 31. The Alexis Sanchez chat gets even more dull by the week, with a Chilean newspaper claiming that Alexis has told

Riyad refuses to chase around trying to win the ball back after Deeney’s touch sends the ball back into the Leicester midfield.

Riyad Mahrez

Swansea City still firmly believe that Gylfi Sigurdsson is worth £50m or, more

likely, they think Everton are likely to be stupid enough to pay it eventually. West Ham United look as though they have finally convinced Joe Hart that even football at the London Stadium is a better option than no football at all. The Manchester City goalkeeper-in-exile has been confirmed as joining Slaven Bilic’s side on loan for the season, with a view to making the deal permanent if he can do just a little bit better than he did at Torino. Whereas Hart could be considered a decent signing, Bilic clearly feels the need to balance this out by trying to buy Stoke City’s Marko Arnautovic. Stoke know how bad Gold and Sullivan are when it comes to transfer dealings so believe they can oust £25m out of them for the winger. Arnautovic ticks every single terrible West Ham signing box, so you can expect the deal to happen this week.

England’s U19’s played in and won the European U19 Championship, which is becoming fairly standard this summer. Thank goodness the full international senior side were not in action to give everyone a solid dose of football reality.

Your week in Sport in the field, but saw the batsman hand the advantage straight back over. At the time of writing, England would need more than 300 and South Africa could afford to bat until Monday lunchtime to really put the game out of sight.

So we wave goodbye to Wimbledon once more and it all feels a bit like 2009 with Andy Murray’s body failing him, the pressure getting to any other Brit in danger of success (Johanna Konta losing to Venus Williams) and a lot of fun being had in the mixed doubles. Oh, and Federer beating everyone in his path. Andy Murray crashed out early in week two, clearing the path for Roger Federer to go and win his 8th Wimbledon title. His opponent, Cilic, may have been suffering from an injury as has been the norm in this year’s championships, but not much would have stopped Federer in that kind of form. The greatest player of all time became the oldest winner of Wimbledon in the modern era aged 35 years and 342 days and it was, incredibly, his 19th Grand Slam. Oh, and he won it without dropping a set and, typically, barely breaking sweat. The day before, Garbine Muguruza stopped it being a Williams/Federer double act like 12 years ago, beating Venus in a stunning display. The men’s doubles produced a thriller, the fifth set ending 13-11 to Lucasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. As McEnroe has said in the past, if it goes on that long can’t they just call it a tie? Finally, Heather Watson and Jamie Murray faced each

In better English cricketing news, the Women’s team progressed to the World Cup semi-finals, where they will play South Africa on Tuesday. Heather Knight’s superb innings was enough to see off a poor West Indies side, meaning England topped their group. Antonio Conte

other with their respective partners in the Mixed Doubles Final. At least one Murray had a good time in SW19 this year as he and Martina Hingis took the title in straight sets. Having already matched the record of British Grand Prix pole positions securing his fifth, Lewis Hamilton led at Silverstone from start to finish on Sunday to win a record-equalling fifth race at the alleged home of British Racing (until they decide they don’t want the hassle of staging the race anymore). Hamilton’s victory was his fourth in a row there and closes the gap to Vettel to just twenty points. England are being made to toil in the Second Test at Trent Bridge. In fact, by the time you read this they’ll have probably collapsed in their second innings having watched South Africa bat for the best part of two days. Jimmy Anderson bowled England into a strong position at the end of their first innings

The Tour de France is still going on, and Chris Froome had possession of the Yellow Jersey after 14 stages. But hey, that might have all changed by now. Or not.

In a shock doping story, it turns out the Russians might have had advanced warning on what the new testing procedures at London 2012 were going to be, giving them ample time to come up with a cunning way to beat them. Insider knowledge is always a good thing, right?

Plenty of liquids were needed as the temperature reached 39 degrees on the course during the afternoon. As we all trundled off the 18th green and made our way to the clubhouse for more liquids, everyone agreed it was it was a hard day’s work. Special mention to our head of committee, Andrew Drinkall, on his birthday on this day and also thanks for all his hard work in setting the day up As usual at this course, everything was set up and ready for us to enjoy the days golf with one member, Andy Trefry, cleaning up with four prizes Results for this outing: Gold division and overall winner was Andrew Drinkall on c/b, runner up Andy Trefry Silver division winner was Robert Scott, runner up roger Clarke Nearest the pins on par 3: Paul Owen

We were at The El Bosquet complex for the 8th round of the summer series, on the 11th July. Only seven hardy souls braved the extreme temperatures so it was decided to fish the old back Channel. This area now seems to be a lot less snaggy under the water as a lot of the unseen vegetation has become supple making fishing a lot easier. Dave Hoare took full advantage of his good draw and fishing the pole at 16m towards his vacant peg, he took carp on a regular basis on Pellet and won the match with 22.200kg. Neil Mc Bernie was second with 18.620kg fishing floating bread and Pellet, but caught virtually nothing in the last 2 hours of the match. Richard “Tricky Dickie”Wood was a creditable 3rd with 12.340kg and fished pellet. Richard had a good day all round as I took to the water to successfully retrieve his pole section that he had lost the previous week. Next week´s match is at Pedrera, draw 730am on the bank at the match stretch.There are still some vacancies available for membership at the club All details are available on our new website abbeyangling.es or from Terry Screen on 965328368

The 12th round of the Spring Series was fished at Pedrera on 12th July. The morning started very unusually and apart from the extreme temperatures we had a complete blanket of fog and could not even see the lake. 16 Anglers turned out so pegging was a squeeze and the fog eventually cleared just before the start of the match at 9am. The Welsh wizard Doug Hornblow making a less than quiet return to our shores took full advantage of drawing the point. He caught steadily on the feeder using pellet and took the honours with 22.140kg of carp. Dave Hutchinson, drawn on the other point fished mainly the pole with pellet and again caught steadily but was narrowly behind with 21.320kg. Mick Hill was drawn on the end of unfancied side but the Gooner fishing the cage feeder amassed 17.600kg of carp. This is not a derogatory term he is a staunch Arsenal fan. Next week´s match is at El Bosquet as Murcia is still unfishable. There are still some vacancies at the Club and if anyone is interested in joining please contact Bill Reade on 966790416
