Disgust as more delays announced for Emergency Services Centre C.L.A.R.O demonstration in front of the skeleton construction of the Orihuela Costa Emergency Services Centre one year ago.

The announcement that the sorely needed Emergency Services Centre in Orihuela Costa was to be further delayed was met with indignation and disgust by residents on the coast. Ten years after work started and 8 years after construction was paralysed by the builderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bankruptcy the news that the Valencia government has reduced the amount of the agreed subsidy and that

Orihuela Town Hall will have to be responsible for tendering and supervising construction of the project was totally unexpected. This is all the more shocking since it is only two weeks ago that a petition, signed by more than 2,200 people, was presented to the Valencian and Orihuela authorities highlighting the urgency of completing the project after the tragic death of a young boy on La Zenia beach and the delay of some 40 minutes in the arrival of an adequately equipped ambulance. It is all the more disturbing since the time for accessing the subsidy and completing the project will run out next year. Now residents of Orihuela Costa will no doubt witness the blame game in which the Orihuela Town Hall will say the Valencia regional government is at fault and the Valencia regional government will say Orihuela Town Hall critically delayed submitting revised plans for several months. According to local residential, business

and political pressure groups the blame firmly rests with the successive local governments of Orihuela, which have collectively failed to give sufficient importance and priority to this vital project which Orihuela Costa needs to meet the security requirements of a population equal to that of the city and many times greater in peak tourist periods. The coast needs facilities for adequate local and national police services, ambulance and fire brigades situated here and not dispersed elsewhere. The equipped ambulance which finally arrived to treat the boy suffering cardiac arrest on La Zenia beach came from near Orihuela, 30 kilometres away. Orihuela Costa is and has forever been treated as a poor relation by the municipal governments located in Orihuela city. Residents living on the coast contribute some 60 percent of the municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income and receive probably less than 20 percent of expenditure. Continued on page 3

Heads up for the next La Siesta neighbourhood meeting The next meeting of the San Luis/ La Siesta neighbourhood watch will be on 25th June at 4.30pm. It will include a review of progress on the area improvement plan and on waste issues and traffic signs. The mayor has been asked to a ‘meet the people’ session and to discuss new contract renewals. His attendance hasn’t been confirmed yet. This will be the last meeting before the summer break and the group will reconvene on Monday September 24th. This is a popular opportunity to hear what’s happening locally and have your say. The meetings take place on Mondays at Casa Ventura at 4.30pm and anyone who lives locally is welcome to attend.

Waiting to sign up for the summer school The schools in Torrevieja are nearly out for the summer as parents wait anxiously to find out the terms and conditions of the town’s summer school. In theory, registration should now be taking place for children and their parents who want to use the school over the summer months. However, with only 15 days to go, there was still no sign of action as contracts for the provision are still being arranged. In order to deal with the crisis an extraordinary meeting was held by the town council on 11th June. The school usually offers around 200 places in July Continued on page 5

name just two recent examples. If the Emergency Services Centre was located in Orihuela city and for city residents it would have been completed years ago. It is the misfortune of those living on the coast that residents are of such little importance to successive municipal governments. And, at the same time, it is our fault for not exercising our right to vote, register on the padron and sending our own elected representatives to the Orihuela Town Hall.

Looking forward to a summer of delays Bracing ourselves for the summer influx of visitors, those regularly using the N332 are anticipating UK style jams on their way backwards and forwards on this busy coastal road. The problem of bottlenecked traffic is particularly bad as vehicles travelling on the CV-95 and CV-905 try to filter into the N332. The queues onto the main road also lead to jams on the roundabouts and minor roads feeding into this major highway. It is anticipated that once again, there will be chaos and, tragically, loss of life associated with the failure to have the road widened as it has been along other stretches. During peak season the N332 plays host to more than 40,000 vehicles a day and delays are almost constant. A particular worry is that access to Torrevieja hospital is also blocked during the summer season and tailbacks frustrate those approaching and leaving the hospital. With a new government in place the mayor, José Manuel Dolón, has made it a priority to request that the widening of the road be started as soon as possible. If

agreement is reached over the final arrangements then it is believed that work could begin mid 2020. Not much solace for those who will spend the next three summer seasons struggling to get anywhere on time. In the meantime, other measures to alleviate the jams would appear to have been shelved. There was talk of constructing a different access to the N332 from the CV-905 so that the congestion doesn’t spread to the roundabouts and prevent traffic from entering and leaving the town. The amount of traffic that uses the N332 to access Zenia Boulevard commercial centre is another problem for this route. However, the irony is that an adjacent motorway could alleviate the problems but remains underused because of its prohibitive cost. In the meantime the townspeople of Torrevieja will plan their routes and search for alternatives or face hours of delays. The petition on Change.org continues to attract the signatures of those who are keen to see this problem tackled once and for all. Suzanne O’Connell

and 115 in August with a lunch provided. It will be a tight deadline to ensure that everything is in place and everyone is ready to greet the children who regularly use this facility.

Free swimming lessons The sports department in Torrevieja has announced that there will be two free swimming classes for adults who can’t swim in July and August. The first will run from 2nd to 28th July and the second from 6th to 31st August. They will both be from 10am until 11am on Mondays and Thursdays and from 11am until 12pm. The classes will have a maximum of 15 in the group and will last 60 minutes. The main objective is helping people lose their fear of water, teaching them to swim and improving their health. Those interested in registering can do so from Wednesday 20th June at the Palacio de Deportes from 9am until 2pm and from 3pm until 10pm. You should also present a letter from your doctor to sign up to this activity.

Better access to the beaches for disabled A priority of the present local government in Torrevieja has been the provision for the disabled at its local beaches. Now a new lift has been installed on Los Náufragos to enable those with reduced mobility to enjoy the sea. The lift, which is a little like a mini crane, will enable those using a wheelchair to be lifted directly from their chair on land to one in the sea. Without the device, wheelchair users require three or four people to help lift them into the water. This is now a more dignified and comfortable way of enjoying the sea in Torrevieja.

Clean up campaign for the natural park Saturday 16th June at 7pm saw people coming together to do their bit to help clean up the natural parks in Torrevieja. The activity began at the visitors centre in the La Mata park and encouraged volunteers to clean a square metre of ground. It wasn’t all hardship, however. The beautiful surroundings were incentive enough as those volunteering could gaze at the flora and fauna surrounding them. This activity was part of a concerted effort to bring people together and encourage them to take responsibility for cleaning up what others have left behind.

Delays to demolition of football stadium Torrevieja town council has extended the deadline for the demolition of the football team’s grandstand at the Vicente García stadium. Those contracted to complete the demolition requested an additional month to finish off the work as they have found asbestos there. The asbestos will need removing carefully under specific conditions. The demolition contract was for €164,537 and it was hoped that the work would be completed by the end of August so that the team could begin the football season in their usual stadium. However, now this is unlikely. In 2014 a report was written which indicated that the stand and the locker rooms had structural problems and that their use should be limited. Continued on page 6

of San Juan From June 18th to 24th Torrevieja and surrounding areas will be alight with the bonfires to celebrate the longest day of the year. This celebration is particularly popular around Valencia with Alicante marking the occasion with activities not unlike the Fallas of Valencia.

people out on the beaches of Torrevieja setting up their own camp fires in the spirit of San Juan. Each of the town’s beaches can expect to be covered with their own mini bonfires but Playa del Cura is usually the most popular ones for families. The evening is set to start at around 9pm on Saturday

In Torrevieja, th fire making season began on Saturday 16th and all of next week will see summer solstice activities with children’s games, raffles, music and performances by different dance schools around the town. On Saturday June 23rd there will be a ‘Star Wars’ parade raising money for Duchenne Syndrome and at 2pm there will be fireworks in the Plaza del Molino with portions of paella for sale for €2. The main day, however, will be Sunday 24th with music by ‘Los Salerosos’ followed by firecrackers and at 1am ‘la cremá’ when the children’s statue will be set alight. The two neighbourhoods at the centre of the celebrations are Barrio Acequión and Barrio El Calvario. Each have their own series of festivities and timetables including bingos and raffles, music and dancing. Meanwhile you can also expect to see

23rd when hundreds of people will get together on del Cura to celebrate the ritual purging out of the demons of the past year. The tradition is that you light a small campfire on the beach, jump over it and so rid yourself of anything bad that has happened. At the end of the night it is customary to wash your feet in the sea, making sure that all traces of any bad luck are removed and there will be good fortune in the coming months. The beach of Las Naufragos is also popular for this event although younger people tend to be attracted to this rather than families. The bonfire celebrations will also coincide with Gay Pride in Torrevieja which is due to run from 20th to 23rd June. Shows will take place in the Eras de la Sal from 10pm on Friday and Saturday nights. Suzanne O’Connell

Spanish is ‘world’s sexiest accent’, according to survey A survey by travel guide giant The Lonely Planet has revealed that the sexiest accent in the world is Spanish. Native speakers of the language of Cervantes in Europe even beat the French – albeit by a slim margin – and the Italians, who come sixth out of nine, for the most attractive accent to listen to. A total of 700 people were polled on Facebook, although their own nationality split has not been revealed. After Spain and France, the people of

Ireland are said to have the third-sexiest accent, followed by the Scots, the Australians and mainland Italians. Seventh, and some way below Italy, comes the English accent, followed by the Portuguese in eighth place and the Russians in ninth. Numerous others were cited in much smaller number – way below mainland Italy but still in the list is the Italian island of Sicily, and Serbia and China were also named.

School registration time If you have a school age child and live in Torrevieja now is the time you should be processing their application for a place in a school in September. Children can be admitted to school from three years old and there are even some places available for children as young at 2. The final enrolment for primary schools is open between 14th June and 2nd July. In Torrevieja the councillor for education has noted that there has been a decline in applications for places for three year olds but an increase in other year groups.

Apanee fundraising Saturday 16th June was a busy day for fund raising. Along with the Rock Against Cancer event was ‘Xtromba’. From 10am in the morning on the Paseo Vista Alegre money was being raised for the Apanee school where the children educated have specific special educational needs. It was a new event hoping to attract families by taking part in Xtromba which is a combination of dance and movement and is said to have both physiological as well as psychological and social benefits. Other activities were also taking place including face painting, a mini disco and singing games thanks to the participation of a children’s entertainer. The event wasn’t just about raising money but also drawing awareness to the school and the needs of its children and young people. The school has 55 children between the ages of 0 and 18 years. It provides a number of different types of treatment and support for those who have disabilities. Suzanne O’Connell

A state-run home for the elderly has been without a doctor for almost a year and a half. The centre is home for 210 residents many of whom are dependent. The Valencian government is responsible for the home but is having difficulty recruiting a medical expert to work there. The wage offered for this position is less than they would earn in the health service and for this reason has remained unfilled. Those using the facility and the unions have now had enough of the situation and have been protesting outside the building. They want answers from the councillor Mónica Oltra who is responsible for equality and inclusivity. A representative of the union has explained that during the last months several doctors have attended the home on a temporary basis. What they want is someone permanent who can get to know the residents but the poor salary is standing in the way of this taking place. Doctors have begun to work there but only whilst they are waiting for more financially

rewarding posts elsewhere. There are two medical positions that are allocated for in the budget but not at a wage that attracts anyone. This lack of in-house medical attention has put extra pressure on other people working there. There are currently six nurses in the residency and 18 additional workers. The families of those based there are anxious that they receive the medical attention that they need. ‘We are asking for a salary that is equal to that in the health service so that these positions can be covered,’ a union representative explained. At the moment, when someone in the residency becomes ill they have to be taken to the medical centre or hospital. This means that one of the nurses at the home has to accompany them too. The nearest medical centre is the health centre of La Loma (see below) which is 200 metres away. Patients are taken this short distance in an ambulance. ‘Wouldn’t it be easier to have a doctor in residence?’ those protesting point out. Suzanne O’Connell

debate goes on… and on…and on… Whilst Torrevieja continues to miss its main theatre, the debate about the reasons for its closure and what should happen next, goes on. A full audit is planned to look in more detail at the issues that have continued to blight the theatre. The audit could perhaps throw more light on some of the murky details of its past but will make no difference to whether people can begin to enjoy the theatre again or not. The theatre was closed three years ago by the Valencian government following the revelation that it did not in fact have the required opening licences and had not done so for the nine years it had already been open. The forthcoming plenary meeting, will no doubt raise the failure to sign off work and the difficulties in gaining the correct licences for the theatre to open its doors once again. One of the barriers to its opening being the refusal of the original architect to sign off works that he has not carried out himself. Although, it is claimed, the works have been carried out by a reputable company under close scrutiny. The local council political parties are more or less united, with the exception of

the PP, in their bid to move the debate along. The latest vote linked to the forthcoming audit, had Sueña backing the coalition parties with Ciudadanos abstaining from the vote. The PP claim that that the whole issue is just being used as a political football. One of the most recent concerns raised was the allegation that whilst building work took place employees

working at height did not have the correct security harnesses. Although there was no accident this might be viewed as luck rather than management. In the meantime, Torrevieja waits for an outcome that will see audiences back on seats in the theatre. Suzanne O’Connell

Accused claims murder was accidental John Charlie L.T. confessed on 10th June to the murder of his partner in a hearing at a court in Alicante. The incident took place two years ago in Torrevieja and the victim was found encased in the wall of the building in which they had lived. However, John Charlie claims that he did not mean to kill her. Instead he claims that he grabbed her by the throat during an argument and she collapsed. However, the prosecution maintain that the murder was premeditated and have asked for a sentence of 25 years in prison. It is believed that her murder took place during a fight on 13th June 2016 very early in the morning on the terrace of their family home. His partner, Johana Bertina was 32 years old and had lived with John Charlie for 15 years. They had two children of 12 and 5 years old at the time of her death who were asleep when the dispute began. The accused claims that the The victim

argument was about drugs and that he had been stopped in the street and asked for money by someone she owed. Johana died by strangulation according to the autopsy, which did not support the claim by the defendant that he pushed her and hit her in the neck. There was no indication of any injury to the skull in spite his continued insistence that he did not strangle her and that he only grabbed her by the throat to stop her from scratching him. Once she had died he took her body down in the lift and put her in the meter room where he constructed a special hole to conceal the dead body. The accused obtained the cement and bricks from some works that were taking place opposite his home and the defendant denied that he placed air fresheners around the place to avoid the bad smells as the body decomposed.

Solicitors acting on behalf of Johana claim that the dispute was the result of her insistence on taking her children back to Chile because of the continuous fights between the couple. John Charlie claims that her planned return was motivated by her problem with drugs. This claim is not backed up by the fact that Johana’s remains showed no indication of narcotics whereas the accused did. When interviewed about his reasons for burying her in the meter room the accused explained that he did it in panic. The defence claim that John Charlie is remorseful and asks for forgiveness from Johana’s mother, his children and his own mother. However, the accused has changed his version of events five times since he’s been arrested, according to the prosecution. The trial continues. Suzanne O’Connell

Spain’s first 3D zebra crossing forces drivers to brake A three-dimensional zebra crossing that looks as though pedestrians are hopping across raised blocks is being painted in Almussafes, Valencia province. The yellow-and-white crossing looks two-dimensional to those on foot using it, but for drivers approaching it, their

instinct is to stop dead so as not to collide with an apparent barrier of nearly half a metre in height. The first of its kind in Spain, it is aimed at curbing the common trend of driving straight over zebra crossings without looking and to cut the number of pedestrian accidents.

Three arrested in house sales scam The police arrested two people who have now been imprisoned and one who has been released on bail pending the trial. The three people from Torrevieja were accused of cheating foreigners who were wanting to buy property in the town. Two of the accused allegedly gained the trust of their victims and the third, a well-

known lawyer, then drafted out the contracts. The couple conned their victims by appearing to be wealthy people themselves and gave credibility to the transactions they made by taking them to the lawyer’s office. Their victims paid out large amounts of money for a number of the couple’s activities including paying more than €800 for processing the application for an NIE. Other amounts that were fraudulently obtained included €3,500 for proving that the foreigners were financially stable and up to €30,000 to reserve a property. Once they had collected the money then the clients were dropped and ignored. Often trying to address the issue from their country of origin, they were reluctant to take the issue to court. On the occasions that a complaint was made the couple would issue a false document that purported to show that the complaint had been filed. Deposits were taken on the same house by different clients and without the knowledge of the actual owner. During the investigation a number of documents were seized along with computer equipment and €8,800 of cash which cannot be traced back to any legitimate earnings. Many people were taken in by the scam including some from who the couple managed to extract up to €50,000. Those accused include two Spanish men of 47 and 50 years old and a Polish woman of 34 years of age. They have been charged with real estate fraud, falsification of documents and belonging to a criminal group. Suzanne O’Connell

Free healthcare for all Spain’s new government is working on a Bill of Law, or Royal Decree that will once again make free healthcare universal for everyone living in the country, irrespective of their legal status. The previous right-wing PP-led government stopped healthcare for anyone who was not legally resident, except for emergency treatment, all care for the under-18s and for pregnant or postpartum women, back in 2012. And hospitals and clinics did not always have the same criteria as to what constituted an emergency. One of the most vocal in this sense was the region of Valencia, whose newly-elected regional government, in 2015, announced healthcare would be available free to anyone who needed it – and who were ordered by the State and the courts to follow the rules. Health experts have said restricting care and expecting those not eligible to pay for it does not actually save money – in fact, it costs more, because most of those left untreated would be unable to fund their own medical attention and would eventually become an emergency, costing more to assist because the problem had been left unmedicated for too long. Cabinet spokeswoman Isabel Celaá said talks were under way with all of Spain's regional governments to negotiate the return of public healthcare to everyone, whether or not they had a valid residence permit or were working, retired, registered on the dole or in receipt of maternity, paternity or sick pay. “It's merely a question of political decency,” Sra Celaá said. “And it's also a mandate of all international organisations, such as the United Nations, the European Union and the World Health Organisation, as well as an ongoing request from the national ombudsman.” It will take around six weeks before the rules

change again, and Isabel Celaá said there was 'no danger' of any regional health authority refusing care after it became universal and free once again. “There will be no regional governments who fail to comply,” she stated, hinting at possible repercussions for any which denied treatment to anyone. Back in 2012, the PP government cancelled 900,000 SIP, or healthcare, cards – of these, 150,000 were held by immigrants with no residence permits, and others by people in varying situations but who were not paying Social Security contributions, such as low-income cash-in-hand workers. European Union citizens were less affected – those who had never been employed or registered as self-employed in Spain, and were not in receipt of a State retirement pension from any country, were able, in some regions, to pay a monthly fee of around €110 to guarantee them treatment, and in others, were automatically able to sign up to the system as long as their annual gross income did not reach €100,000. Tourists resident in the EU could obtain emergency care through their EHIC cards, defined as any medical issue that could not wait until they returned home, and holidaymakers from elsewhere needed to be covered by travel insurance. It is likely that holidaymakers will still need to meet these requirements, but that residents – even if they are not registered as such – will be treated. Although it is hoped the UK will continue to make annual per-head contributions to Spain for its State pensioners' healthcare after Brexit, the Spanish government's new stance sends out a fresh message of reassurance to any who feared they may be left without access to a doctor.

PROTECTING THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY Orihuela Costa Defibrillator Campaign

We would like to ask all of our readers and advertisers to help us protect the heart of the community by raising as much money as we possibly can to place mobile defibrillator units in every Polica Local patrol car on the Orihuela Costa. Working in conjunction with Cruz Roja, the campaign has the full support of the Town Hall and Local Police Department. There are currently five police cars and a police van allocated to Orihuela Costa and the officers manning these vehicles are usually the first responders to any emergency call in the local area. This means that if someone’s heart has stopped – for whatever reason - at home, in the street, at the gym, in a shop or on the beach the police are often the first on the scene. The fundraising campaign aims to raise the money for the defibrillators themselves, being advised by Cruz Roja as to which specific machines should be bought, and also to pay for the Cruz Roja to fully train the relevant number of police officers on how to use the equipment. We are also calling on local bars, restaurants, businesses and entertainers to host events and help us raise as much money as we possibly can. All funds should be handed over to Help at Home Costa Blanca or Help Vega Baja as both charities are officially supporting the campaign – if you are making a donation, be sure to specify if it is for the defibrillator campaign. So far, we have raised €5500 for the campaign – most recently, €434 raised at the 10th Annual Costa Blanca People Culinary Awards was generously raised to €800 by Norman Marks of Moneycorp.

LIVERPOOL SLASHER CAUGHT IN SPAIN A Liverpool ‘face slasher’ whose victims needed hundreds of stitches has been arrested in Javea. The British fugitive, who is accused of slashing three people across the face was cuffed while on the run in southern Spain. The unnamed suspect, 36, was captured on a European Arrest Warrant.’ It comes after he allegedly slashed three men in a nightclub in Liverpool following an argument on 21st December, 2016. The main victim needed more than

100 stitches following the attack at the Soho nightclub. Merseyside Police had issued CCTV images of a man they wanted to speak to about the savage assaults. A Policia Nacional spokesman said: “A British fugitive aged 36-years-old has been held on a European Arrest Warrant. He is wanted by the British police over an alleged knife attack on three people at a nightspot in Liverpool. “The incident followed a row between two people which resulted in the arrested

man allegedly taking out a knife and stabbing another in the face. The other two casualties were customers who went to the victim’s aid. A bouncer managed to eject the offender from the club. “The main victim needed more than 100 stitches to his face and was left with emotional and physical scars.” The exact location of the arrest has not been revealed, although it happened outside a property where the fugitive was living.

Second meeting with Torrevieja Sur Following the meeting that we reported on last week, the community group, representing the south of Torrevieja; Mar Azul, Eliseos Playa, Playa Verde, Chimos Playa and Lo Ferris, met again with local government representatives. The mayor, José Manuel Dolón, and the councillor for beaches, Javier Manzanares, met up with the group of residents to try and address their issues. The group have a number of complaints that they have taken to the council including the general maintenance and upkeep of the area. The mayor explained what actions are in the pipeline, including the installation of a wooden walkway to help people to access the cove. Some other demands have also been addressed including moving a glass collection container and the cleaning up of some grass areas. The manager of the cleaning services has been out to look

more closely at the residents’ complaints about the area with a view to finding solutions. Together the councillors and residents toured the area and requests were made to replace one of the missing swings in the children’s park. Some of the demands that were made require the permission of the Dirección Provincial de Costas and are not solely the responsibility of the local town council. One of these was an issue raised by those living on the houses opposite Lo Ferrís. The mayor explained that the wall, which is in a bad state of repair, has suffered years of deterioration. Some of the actions that were taken to remedy this, including that of an artificial access point, were not in fact legal. Again, this area is the responsibility of the regional government and consultation as to the next best steps will need to take place. Suzanne O’Connell

ROCK AGAINST CANCER Saturday 16th June saw the Eras de la Sal attracting a good turn out of people keen to support a worthy cause and have a good time. During the day there were displays of dance and other attractions and during the evening eight bands participated in this celebration of rock. It wasn’t only the activity on stage that brought in the crowds. Workshops, bouncy castles and stalls around the venue were kept busy at this popular annual event. The day and evening were organised by Monroe’s pub in conjunction with Torrevieja

town hall to raise money for AECC the Asociación Española contra el Cáncer. It all started at 12 midday with family yoga, followed by dance groups to entertain the public. The ‘rock’ part of the event began at around 5pm with music from Sensa Yuma, Osezno, Ricky Diamond, Kolted, The Cages, Wild Freedom, Sonic Blue and El Despertar del Silencio. Those coming to the event were lucky to see so many different groups performing, and for free. Suzanne O’Connell

Five steps to beat the low rate trap: How to invest to make your money work harder... without taking too much risk

national obsession with squirreling savings away in secure cash deposits rather than choosing potentially higher‐ earning alternatives costs households more than £30 billion in lost returns last year. Despite earning the lowest interest on savings for 20 years, savers piled into cash at a greater rate than ever in 2017. Here are the 5 steps to beating cash apathy and getting started in investing. 1. REMEMBER SOME CASH IS GOOD Keep enough cash savings for emergencies – three months of household income is the rule of thumb. 2. DO YOUR RESEARCH Before investing, do some research. Find investments – shares or funds – you feel comfortable with. 3. REDUCE RISK You need to make sure that your investments are diversified, which essentially means don't put all your eggs in one basket. 4. DISCOVER BENEATH

WHAT

LIES

Nervous investors often start with a cautious investment fund which will split exposure across equities, property, bonds and cash. These funds will not turn you into an investment millionaire but nor will they crash and burn if markets take a turn for the worse. 5. ASSESS YOUR ATTITUDE TO RISK Few people are comfortable with the idea of losing money. But just as powerful is the regret of being too cautious. The best response is to spread money across different investments. Get help with assessing attitude to risk from a qualified financial adviser. This is where Seagate Wealth can help as we have access to a range of flexible, cost effective savings schemes from some of the worlds’ leading product providers.

Now that it is almos summer it is time to sit back and relax and enjoy the fruits of your labour! Unless, of course, you want to carry on planting which is always possible. If you haven’t already done so you need to feed your plants and borders as the heat appears to definitely be turned on now! Perennials have been planted and also annuals and biennials. Hardy annual seeds look fabulous in beds and these can be done now. Don’t forget to weed, feed and mow the lawn, this needs to be kept on top of now that the hot weather is here. I don’t know about you, but I have noticed all the beautiful roses out and about in all their glory. This appears to be their month of showing off in all their splendour. There are so many different varieties, I could spend the rest of the year just talking about them. Don’t forget, go to your local nurseries and see what they have on offer. If you’re not sure about growing them from seed, they often have them with blooms on, so you can choose the ones you like. Don’t be afraid to ask them for advice on care for that particular variety that you have chosen, as care can differ from species to species.

Fuchsias Fuchsias originate from Central and South America, the majority of species anyway, but are found further north and right down to Tierra del Fuego! There are roughly 110 recognised species of Fuchsia, mainly being shrubs that range from 8 inches to 13 feet tall, however there is one species in New Zealand, which is a tree and grows up to 49 feet tall and this is called the Kotukutuku (Fuchsia excorticata). They come in a vast array of colours and differing forms to suit almost any situation. They can be grown as a regular plant, put in hanging

baskets, grown as a hedge or put into borders with other plants around them, such as bedding plants, shrubs and herbaceous perennials. They have varieties of shape in leaf and flower as well as many differing colours and are truly versatile. When choosing a plant you want to look for an even symmetrical shape with green leaves coming from green stems. You don’t want the stems to be brown and woody. Check the root system by turning it upside down in the pot and tapping the sides until the plant comes out, don’t force it. There should be several shoots from the lower part of the main stem. Do not get Fuchsia plants that have uneven growth, any sign of pests such as aphids, white fly or rust, dried out soil and a pot that is too small. It should be roughly 35% pot and 65% visible plant. The best fuchsia for informal hedges or as a garden shrub is Fuchsia magellanica ‘Riccartoni’, possibly because of its hardiness. If you want it as a garden plant, purely and simply, then the cultivar ‘Mrs Popple’ is a popular one. There are so many varieties, as I have already pointed out, so difficult to recommend any particular ones to you, however there are some that are suited to particular environments rather than others. So here goes: If you want to keep them in pots or small containers then the Fuchsia Heidi Ann (with Cerise/lilac flowers) and the Fuchsia Royal Velvet (with red/purple flowers) are great for this, as they are not only compact but also bushy. For hanging baskets, Fuchsia Marinka (with red flowers) and Fuchsia Pink Galore are easy to grow and have beautiful colours, which show when massed in a basket. Fuchsia Mrs Popple, apart from being good as simply a garden plant mentioned before, is good for hedges as well as bedding and comes with red, purple and violet flowers. Marc Vijverberg

WELCOME TO CHICAGO with Vivalia Travel The city's waterfront location and nightlife has attracted residents and tourists alike. Over a third of the city population is concentrated in the lakefront neighborhoods from Rogers Park in the north to South Shore in the south.

Chicago is the third most populous city in the United States, after New York City and Los Angeles. With over 2.7 million residents, it is also the most populous city in both the state of Illinois and the Midwestern United States. It is the county seat of Cook County. The Chicago metropolitan area, often referred to as Chicagoland, has nearly 10 million people and is the third-largest in the United States. It is the birthplace of the skyscraper and perhaps the most influential architectural city of the 20th century Chicago's streets were laid out in a street grid that grew from the city's original townsite plat, which was bounded by Lake Michigan on the east, North Avenue on the north, Wood Street on the west, and 22nd Street on the south. Streets following the Public Land Survey System section lines later became arterial streets in outlying sections. As new additions to the city were platted, city ordinance required them to be laid out with eight streets to the mile in one direction and sixteen in the other direction .The grid's regularity provided an efficient means of developing new real estate property. In 2016, Chicago was ranked the sixth-most walkable large city in the United States. Many of the city's residential streets have a wide patch of grass and/or trees between the street and the sidewalk itself. The city's waterfront location and nightlife has attracted residents and tourists alike. Over a third of the city population is concentrated in the lakefront neighborhoods from Rogers Park in the north to South Shore in the south. The city has many upscale dining establishments as well as many ethnic restaurant districts.

Downtown is the center of Chicago's financial, cultural, governmental and commercial institutions and the site of Grant Park and many of the city's skyscrapers. Many of the city's financial institutions, such as the CBOT and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, are located within a section of downtown called "The Loop", which is an eight-block by five-block area of city streets that is encircled by elevated rail tracks When Chicago was incorporated in 1837, it chose the motto Urbs in Horto, a Latin phrase which means "City in a Garden". Today, the Chicago Park District consists of more than 570 parks with over 8,000 acres (3,200 ha) of municipal parkland. There are 31 sand beaches, a plethora of museums, two world-class conservatories, and 50 nature areas Lincoln Park, the largest of the city's parks, covers 1,200 acres (490 ha) and has over 20 million visitors each year.

Find out about the ‘Hidden Heroes’ La Caixa social works department has opened their ‘Hidden Heroes’ exhibition on the road adjacent to the town’s port. This collection of what’s billed as ‘great inventions’ is expected to receive more than 40,00 visitors from now until July 16th when it closes. The tent can be accessed from the Paseo Vista Alegre and it is free of charge from 12pm to 2pm and from 5pm until 11pm. The exhibition centres on those basic designs that we

perhaps take for granted. Inventions that fill our everyday lives such as plasters, bubble wrap, rubber bands, clothes pegs and tea bags. The exhibition has its own Spanish flavour with inventions such as the mop, oil drip and fan. The exhibition allows us to find out more about how these everyday objects came to be and the stories behind them. These objects have been manufactured millions of times and are indispensible.

In many cases the version of these objects that are used today does not differ significantly from the original versions. The caixa tent also has an area at the end of the exhibition called the CaixaLab which is an interactive and multimedia workshop. In this area, visitors can learn about the concept of entrepreneurship and is aimed at young people from 14 to 18 years old. Suzanne O’Connell

Celebrating Armed Forces Day in Orihuela Cathedral Armed Forces Day is an opportunity to show our support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community: from currently serving troops to Service families, veterans and cadets. The event is held annually both in UK and in Spain. The Orihuela Costa Branch of the Royal British Legion on behalf of District North (Spain) are immensely grateful to the Dean of Orihuela Cathedral for allowing us to celebrate the day by holding our service in the 13th century Orihuela Cathedral. The service, which will take place at 5.30 pm on 30 June, will be conducted by the President of the Orihuela Costa Branch of the Royal British Legion, Pastor Keith Brown. He will be assisted by Father Victor Manuel Ferrer GarcĂa, the parish priest of Santas Justa y Rufina de Orihuela. It will be preceded at 5.15pm by a parade and march, the short distance to the cathedral from Plaza Teniente Linares, about 300 metres. The march will be led by the Torrevieja Pipes and Drums and four Chelsea pensioners from the Royal Hospital. It will further comprise of the Standards of the RBL Spain North, RAFA, RNA, RMA, British and Spanish military

veterans and serving members of the armed forces and security services here in Spain.

The 45 minute ceremony will start in the cathedral at 5.30pm. It will be a joint denomination service of readings and hymns conducted in English and Spanish with musical and choral accompaniment by the Royal British Legion Band in Spain, the Crescendo International Choir and Paul Michael. The readings, in English and

Spanish, will be delivered by invited guests. It is hoped that all branches across Spain, particularly those in District North, will attend the event at which we hope to see as many standards as possible marching at the head of the parade, along the Calle Mayor de RamĂłn de Cajal. As well as representation from the RBL we also hope to see a large number of serving members and veterans of the Spanish Armed Forces and of the Spanish Security Services, the National Police, Guardia Civil and the Local Police. This is certain to be a truly special occasion and the organisers would be delighted if as many people as possible would make an effort to attend. It is absolutely free and open to anyone, service or civilian, who might wish to attend. Free coach transport available from La Zenia Boulevard leaving at 4pm. The event will also be followed by a short guided tour of either the cathedral or the historic city of Orihuela after the event with coaches returning at 8pm.

Spanish king’s brother-in-law to go to prison A court in Palma de Mallorca, Spain has given Iñaki Urdangarin, brother-in-law to King Felipe VI, five days to report to the penitentiary of his choice to serve out a five-year, 10-month sentence in connection with the Nóos graft case. His business associate at the Nóos Institute, Diego Torres, was also served with a five-day notice by the regional court that tried them and 17 other people for their role in a scheme to secure no-bid contracts from the regional governments of Valencia and the Balearic Islands. Former Balearics premier Jaume Mata, who was also found guilty in the case, was due to show up in court to pick up his own prison orders. He will spend three years and eight months behind bars. All three men lost their appeal to the Supreme Court, which upheld the convictions while shaving some time off their prison sentences. A fresh appeal to the Constitutional Court has not delayed the decision to send them to jail while that tribunal decides whether to accept the legal challenge. Urdangarin, who is married to Cristina de Borbón – sister to King Felipe VI – flew in from his current residence in Geneva to pick up the court order. His flight landed at Palma de Mallorca airport at 9.46am, and he showed up at the courthouse at around 12.15pm. Scores of reporters and onlookers milled outside the door of the Provincial Court on the morning to catch a glimpse of one-time media darling Urdangarin, who is a former Olympic

handball player. His wedding to Cristina de Borbón in October 1997 was a highly publicised affair, and the couple were often seen at royal events. When the Nóos scandal broke in November 2011, it signalled a rift in relations as the royal household sought to distance itself from the graft case, which is thought to have played a role in Juan Carlos' decision to abdicate in favour of his son Felipe in June 2014. At that time, the monarchy’s popularity was at an alltime low. The Nóos Institute was a non-profit foundation that served as a recipient of regional government contracts that were secured without public tenders, thanks to Urdangarin’s influence as a member of the royal family. He was described by former premier Matas as “a facilitator.” Urdangarin and Torres used their non-profit to divert around €6.2 million from public contracts won for organizing sports events in the Valencia and Balearic regions into private accounts. Urdangarin’s royal wife, Cristina de Borbón, sat on the board of a company, Aizoon, which was allegedly used to channel part of these funds. Princess Cristina was made to testify in the case, and was ultimately fined for having benefited from her husband’s scheme. She was acquitted of the charge of tax fraud complicity.

Tough times Cristina de Borbón y Grecia, the sister of Spain’s King Felipe IV, turned 53 recently, but the mood is unlikely to be festive given her husband’s prison sentence.

In the lead-up to the Supreme Court ruling, the infanta, as Cristina is known, and her husband had tried to keep out of the public eye, spending time instead with Urdangarin’s family. Some of his relatives even travelled to their home in Geneva to take part in a marathon on 6th May, the last he was photographed in public. The future of the infanta’s family now depends on the terms of the prison sentence handed down to Urdangarin. The date he must report to prison is yet to be confirmed and there is still the possibility they could appeal the sentence with the Constitutional Court or request an official pardon with the central government. Depending on the outcome, Borbón must decide whether she stays in Geneva, where she works for a foundation run by Agá Khan – a close friend of her father, former King Juan Carlos – and where her youngest children go to school, or moves to Portugal, where her work has another headquarters, to be closer to Spain. This is likely to be the most practical option if Urdangarin is sent to a prison in Extremadura. But there is also the chance that he will serve his sentence in a prison in Ávila. The king’s younger sister has also considered returning to Madrid, but there her children would have difficulty escaping the media spotlight. Cristina de Borbón was educated as a daughter of kings under the strictest of protocols of royal houses and has been taught not to show her feelings in public. This training has allowed her to

keep up appearances since 2010, when investigations into the Nóos case began. For example, on 8th February, 2014, when called to appear before Judge Castro in a court in Palma de Mallorca, she got out of her car with a big smile and shook everyone’s hand – including uniformed police officers. Everyone was surprised by her friendliness. She has adopted this attitude on numerous occasions throughout the trial when forced to appear in public.

Broken But behind the scenes, the infanta is a broken woman and a mother worried about the collateral damage the case has done to her four children, Juan, Pablo, Miguel and Irene, who were children when Urdangarin was accused and are now teenagers well aware of their father’s problems with the law. In an effort to shelter their family, Urdangarin and the infanta moved to Geneva after an attempt to rebuild their life in Barcelona failed. The family, after an initial exile in Washington, had moved to a house in Pedralbes and tried to re-establish their network. But the Spanish royal family had put up a firewall around and this made it impossible. An incident at the school of one of their children and at the tennis club where they took classes convinced the couple to take refuge in Geneva. When Juan Carlos was still king of Spain, he kept his distance from his youngest daughter but continued paying his grandchildren’s school fees. He also pulled strings so that his friend

at the Agá Khan foundation would give Cristina a job. With this position, she is technically the sole breadwinner of the household. In exile in Switzerland, the couple lived away from their children, receiving only visits from family and a few loyal friends. Their movements have been followed by the paparazzi, who lurk outside the couple’s rented apartment in the city centre. Urdangarin is often seen riding his bicycle but hasn’t said a word in the lead up to the court sentence. Everyone spoken to within their close circle has said the infanta is “destroyed” and some have mentioned depression. She has never admitted that her husband’s dealings with his business partner at the Nóos Institute, Diego Torres, were wrong – ignoring the advice from the royal family and cutting ties with advisors from La Zarzuela palace. She clashed with her brother King Felipe when he took away her title as duchess of Palma de Mallorca and refused to give up her royal rights. Since the Nóos case erupted, the royal family has had to balance its obligations to the crown with their feelings. But many in the Spanish royal family are concerned about the infanta. With this concern in mind, her father traveled to Geneva to celebrate the 50th birthday of Urdangarin. Regardless of the outcome of Urdangarin’s prison sentence, Cristina’s aim is to protect her children as much as possible. This might mean she will have to fly to the prison to visit her husband. That will be her sentence.

Am I cheating?

Unfair decision

I am very close to a woman at work, and have been for a number of years. She feels the same. We are both married with children, and there has never been any suggestion that things should be taken further. We just talk and commiserate about our unhappy marriages. Recently my wife asked me if I was cheating on her, and I said no, but now feel guilty about my friend at work. To be honest if we were both free, I think we would get together. She’s all I think about.

My elderly father needs help in the home, and we were told we could possibly claim a benefit from Spanish Social Services. When we visited the Town Hall offices we were told that my father had a lapse in being registered on the Padron. He was not on the Pardron for a period of two weeks, and was therefore not entitled to immediate help, but has to wait 12 months until he is eligible. I feel it is very unfair to expect an old man who is also senile to remember to sign on the Pardron. Is there anything we can do?

If your heart is somewhere else, even though there is no physical relationship, then of course you are being deceptive and this could be regarded as cheating in the eyes of your wife. You are both trying to do the decent thing in staying for the children’s sake, but in the long run this will eat away at your marriages, and you will come to resent it. Relationships break down all the time. Everyone’s happiness needs to be considered, including the children; perhaps they are sensing things aren’t right? And your spouses deserve to be with someone who loves them.

If I were you I would visit your GP to see if he can write a letter explaining your father’s mental health. Secondly you could go and see a Solicitor. I agree it is unfair to expect a person with senile dementia to have the competency to handle these things. A solicitor may consider you have the right to appeal.

Four unspoken etiquette rules when you complete your purchase at the notary Rebecca Serwotka Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada & published author of “Moving Forward – 25 Essential Rules For Buying & Selling Real Estate Without Going Crazy.” Request your FREE copy today!

ou’ve chosen your dream home, paid your deposit and the time has arrived to complete your purchase. All you need now is to get to the Notary, pay your money and have the keys to your new abode. It’s an exciting day. Butterflies are in your stomach. Most times, buyers and sellers understand what it’s like when they go to a Notary’s office, but sometimes people forget where they are in all of the excitement, and think that because they themselves may be on holiday, the professionals are too. Buying property in Spain, is certainly a more “hands on” experience than that of the U.K., but as long as you are prepared, everything will go smoothly and you’ll be celebrating in your new home, in no time! By being prepared, doesn’t just mean having your funds available, Lawyer in place and documents ready. It also means that you need to be aware of the place that you will be going to. The Notary. This is a position in Spain that is held in very high regard. This professional person does not work for the buyer or the seller, but is completely independent, and it is the Notary that will sign your Title Deeds. Attending a Notary’s office is, and should be entered with respect. But it is surprising how many people forget where they are, and think they are going for a picnic on the beach! There are 4 “unspoken rules” about attending a Notary’s office. 1.Don’t turn up in beachwear. You wouldn’t visit with a Lawyer in your own country wearing skimpy shorts, bare chested and in flip flops, so

please don’t do it here either. You’re not expected to be wearing a shirt and tie, but smart casual will show them the respect they deserve, and I can assure you, the respect will be mutual. 2. Don’t be late. The Notary’s office can get very busy. They don’t just deal with drawing up Title Deeds! So by being prompt for your appointment will help you get seen to, as quickly as possible. 3. Patience! Like I said previously, the Notary’s office can get very busy, and although you did arrive on time, you can experience what seems like an exaggerated wait time. Don’t get stressed about it. That will achieve nothing, and it definitely won’t speed the process up. Take a breather, and go with the flow. The phrase “mañana” doesn’t exist for nothing! 4. Don’t expect the Notary to speak English. These people are highly educated, and although they probably do speak English, they are not obliged to. Remember, you wouldn’t expect a Lawyer in England to speak Spanish! By remembering these simple rules, you’ll have a completion day that will be the start of many happy memories of home ownership in Spain.

animals, and we were able to make a donation to CCE to help with vet fees.” Although Cruz Azul exists to help pet owners on low incomes with vet fees for their pets, they are also active in helping urbanisations to manage cat colonies, as well as campaigning for no kill policies in local perreras and encouraging people to have their pets neutered to reduce the abandonment problem in the Murcia region.

As if that wasn’t enough to cope with, a mum with 10 pups of her own and a further ten pups arrived the next day, so CCE and LIPS now have in excess of 50 pups to take care of and find homes for! Some of the pups have had their first vaccination and are looking for loving homes. The biggest problem is that, if they don't get homes when they are little and fluffy, they become adult dogs that stay in Los Infiernos for years. “We have more than 200 dogs to take care of at the perrera and it costs a lot to do that. We have very few volunteers, but we do our best to make sure that they are socialised and walked each week” said a spokeswoman for LIPS. “It’s a constant battle, with people even putting pups in a bag and throwing them over the wall of the perrera, so we desperately need funds to cover food and vet fees” she said.

Spain is either paradise or punishment for Aquarius migrants together. “Friend, go look for your relatives, your friends, and stay with them,” said Wademer Mischutin, a German aid worker of Russian origin. Telephone numbers were jotted down on slips of cardboard, in case family members should get separated at some point.

Business Profile

Zenia Services leads the way

For many years Zenia Services has honed its excellent reputation as the company that does‘anything to do with windows, except the windows’across the southern Costa Blanca and is now leading the way by offering evacuation safety grills, grill refurbishment and, given the time of year, the latest advanced mosquito blinds. Mosquito blinds are pretty much a necessity if you live or have a holiday home in Spain and this year this is even more so, as expert predict a high density of the nasty little critters due to the rains and humidity. Zenia Blinds makes

Long journey “We are so happy. We’re not going back to Libya! We are going to a land of freedom: freedom of expression, freedom of movement, a place with the right to education!” exclaimed an exultant 26-year-old from Sierra Leone named Moses, when he learned that he was being taken to Spain. But the disclosure that Spain’s new Socialist Party (PSOE) government is taking in the 629 migrants that Italy and Malta turned away does not mean the same thing to all the people aboard the Aquarius. The first reaction was subdued: everyone sat still and scanned the crowd with their eyes, as if to gauge by other migrants’ reaction whether this was good news or bad news. As soon as Doctors Without Borders (MSF) staff informed the group of their new destination, a man from the Maghreb region in northern Africa stood up to ask for further details. The Algerians and Moroccans on board were clearly dismayed at the news. Nasser said that he and his colleagues had chosen the Libyan route into Europe – which is long, expensive and very dangerous – because “the border between Morocco and Spain is very tough, and if they catch you they send you back.” And now, because of a twist of fate, Nasser and his colleagues from North Africa will end up in Spain instead of Italy, a country where more than 13,000 migrants have already been allowed in this year after being plucked out of the Mediterranean. But that was before a populist government with an anti-

immigration message took over in Italy. Naveed Hussain, a 28-year-old from Pakistan, approached officials with fear written all over his face. “Will I get deported?” he asked. After spending four years in Libya, where he went through four detention centres (being undocumented is a crime there), Hussain was just about to achieve his dream of reaching Italy. Now, he does not know what will happen to him. Some of the immigrants on the rescue ship Aquarius were transferred to two vessels operated by Italy’s Navy and Coast Guard. The Aquarius, which was chartered by the aid organisations SOS Mediterranée and MSF, will take 106 migrants to the eastern port city of Valencia – chiefly those who are in need of medical attention, women travelling alone or with children, and their husbands. The remaining 523 immigrants are now on board the Orione and the Dattilo, following instructions that were received in the morning. In an operation that lasted several hours, around 400 men were transferred from the Aquarius to a Coast Guard speed-boat, and from there to the two Italian ships that will travel to Valencia with the rescue ship. Some migrants shook hands with the aid workers as they left: “Merci beaucoup,” said an Algerian man, wearing his orange life preserver. Everyone held on to the backpack and blanket that they’d been given during the rescue. Meanwhile, aid workers and sailors went around reminding families to stay

The humanitarian ship’s captain had refused to sail to Spain with the entire group because of the risks involved in the 1,300-km journey. The captain said he was hoping to set sail once the transfer had been made; the trip will take threeand-a-half days if sea conditions are good. Sea Watch, which is now the only remaining non-profit group rescuing migrants off the coast of Libya, said that the Italian Navy was going to disembark 937 people rescued by its own ships, and wondered whether the refusal to accept the Aquarius migrants might be “a trick by [Interior Minister Matteo Salvini] at the expense of people at risk.” For now, at least, the clampdown at Italian ports has not been an effective deterrent. Last Tuesday afternoon, a US Navy ship rescued another 41 people and recovered 12 bodies. The trip to Valencia and back again means that the Aquarius will be outside the rescue zone for at least seven days. “I am very worried because sending the Aquarius so far to disembark, besides delaying the ongoing operation in this area, will also reduce the resources assigned to search and rescue in an area that is in urgent need of them,” said Nicola Stalla, the rescue coordinator on board the humanitarian vessel. At one point there were more than a dozen aid groups performing rescue work in the central Mediterranean region, but growing hostility from Italy has reduced their presence to no more than just a handful. At least 784 people have drowned since January trying to reach Mediterranean countries.

and manufactures all of its blinds in house – it offers full range of roller blinds, in addition to mosquito blinds cutting out the middle-man. This allows it to pass the cost savings directly to the customer. The mosquito blinds and roller blinds are tailor made, of the highest quality and are supplied and fitted by Zenia Services. These blinds also have added benefits. For hayfever sufferers Zenia Blinds mosquito blinds actually stop pollen from entering the home and they also stop all unwanted bugs, including cockroaches from getting in. And again the spring weather conditions are leaving experts predicting a plague of cockroaches on the coast. Zenia Blinds also offers a general shutter and persiana repair service, with the majority of repairs can be carried out within 24 hours.

Grills Grills on windows are a tried and tested way to prevent break-ins and opportunistic thefts. However, should doorways be blocked by fire then these safety grills can affectively become prison bars. Zenia Service experts Neil Couzens and Lee Keely can transform your security grill into a secure fire escape which allows the grill to be opened from the inside and as an added security feature the mechanism cannot be seen from the outside, giving

the evacuation grill the same appearance as any other grill. The safety grills lock from the inside and can be quickly and easily unlocked by key. Zenia Services can also give your tired grills a new lease of life, sprucing up the kerb appeal of you property ideal for a summer clean or pre-sale makeover. The team will uninstall and collect your grills. This can be done even if the grills are built into the wall. These are then sandblasted to remove the old paint and rust and then powder coated in any colour of your choice and are the only local company using this technique. This can be done to grills of all shapes and sizes; providing the rust has not damaged the integrity of the metal; although most damage can be repaired. Even better, the service can be completed on any metal object from ornaments to home and garden furniture. The

results are impressive with the item looking like new again. The business also offers a galvanising service to prevent rusting for upto7 years. There is no job too big or small for Zenia Services and work is guaranteed. The company is just launching a general ‘Handy Man’ service for all those small jobs that need doing, but you keep putting off. All services offered are fully legal and fully insured.

‘El Chicle’ to take part in reconstruction Reconstruction of the murder of Madrid sixth-former and model Diana Quer took place Friday, for which the killer will be taken from his prison cell in order to participate. Juan Carlos Quer and Diana

Quer sisters had spent every summer in since they were aged one and three respectively. Police found no evidence of Diana's being knocked down, accidentally or otherwise. After this, 'El Chicle' changed

Cristina López-Pinel, parents of the 18-year-old who went missing on August 22, 2016, and her sister Valeria – who was 16 the last time Diana was seen alive – have successfully applied to the court for a reconstruction as part of their private prosecution against José Enrique Abuín Gey, 42, alias 'El Chicle'. The accused initially claimed he accidentally ran Diana Quer over when the teen was walking the two kilometres back to her family's holiday villa in A Pobra do Caramiñal (A Coruña province, Galicia) a house the

his story, claiming he strangled her 'accidentally'. He at first refused to testify, but his varying versions when interrogated included his having tied Diana by the neck to the passenger seat headrest with the reins from a bridle, and then in another account, had tied her up and put her in the boot. Abuín Gey now denies raping Diana, but earlier had admitted he 'tried' and that she had fought him off by 'kicking constantly'. A high-profile search for the student from Pozuelo de

Alarcón went on for 16 months, with the family and even some investigators believing she was still alive and either kidnapped or had run away from home. But her naked body was found down an eight-metre well, submerged in water, in the port town of Rianxo some 20 kilometres from her holiday home, on New Year's Eve. Initially, Abuín Gey's wife Rosario, now 30, claimed she had been with him all evening on August 22 and that they had 'gone out to steal petrol' because they were 'broke'. More recently, however, she confessed she had stayed at home all night and her husband had 'returned, changed his clothing and left again'. Abuín Gey was reported to have raped Rosario's twin sister when the women were 17, but been talked out of reporting him. The court has recently decided to reopen the case as they believe it mirrors Diana's fate. Abuín Gey was caught after attempting a near-identical kidnap of a 33-year-old Ecuadorian woman in the Rianxo area, who was rescued in the nick of time by passers-by when she was about to be locked in the boot.

Spain’s new PM first crisis as minister quits over tax scandal Spain’s new prime minister, Pedro Sánchez of the Socialist Party (PSOE), has faced his first government crisis just six days after appointing his Cabinet team. His brand new culture and sports minister, Màxim Huerta, resigned on Wednesday evening after the media reported that he withheld taxes in the early 2000s and was recently forced to pay €365,000 in back taxes, late fees and fines. The outgoing minister blamed the media revelation on an attack by what he termed as ‘la jauría’ (a pack of hounds) against Sánchez’s new government project. The new Socialist PM led a successful no-confidence motion against then-Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy of the Popular Party (PP) two weeks ago, the first time in modern Spanish democracy that a head of government was ousted in this way. After taking down a leader who had been plagued by graft scandals, Sánchez

pledged to be tough on corruption. The Huerta crisis was resolved in less than 11 hours, when Sánchez decided to let his new minister go. One hour later, his replacement was announced: José Guirao, who was director of the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid between 1994 and 2001. He was also head of La Casa Encendida art and culture centre from 2002 to 2014. There was no official statement on the subject of Huerta’s departure, either by Sánchez or by any government spokesperson. Huerta – who has been the shortest-lived minister in modern Spanish history – suggested that the whole thing was a way of attacking the new Sánchez administration. “I am leaving so that the jauría will not break up Pedro Sánchez’s regeneration project,” Huerta stated at 7pm on Wednesday, after declaring himself “innocent” on the basis that he had already paid his dues with the Spanish Tax

Agency following a ruling against him by the Madrid Regional High Court in 2017. Huerta was alluding to the cascade of stories, comments and widespread condemnation in the news and in social media, following revelations that he withheld €256,778 in taxes between 2006 and 2008. Huerta used the word jauría up to three times, and lamented that “innocence means nothing,” insisting that he had not committed fraud. He was not convicted of the crime of tax fraud because the amount withheld did not reach the €120,000 threshold on any individual tax year. Instead, he was ordered to pay his back taxes, plus late fees and a fine. On-Line The story was originally published by the digital daily El Confidencial, and opposition parties immediately demanded Huerta’s resignation. The PP and

Podemos reminded Sánchez of one of his own statements made in 2015, when he declared that “any politician who creates a company in order to pay half his taxes would be ejected from any government of mine the following day.” That statement was made in connection with another tax fraud scandal involving Juan Carlos Monedero, cofounder of Podemos. Although Huerta described his resignation as a personal decision, earlier that day he had seemed disinclined to take that step. In statements to the Onda Cero and Cadena SER radio networks, he insisted that he had nothing to be sorry about. Huerta claimed that his trouble with the Spanish taxman stemmed from “a change in the agency’s criteria,” which did not accept the use of a company to pay personal income tax in the way that he had done during the years in question. “This matter did not take place while

I was a minister, it was as Màxim Huerta, and after the change of criteria by the tax agency I paid everything, so case closed,” he told the media on Wednesday. “A lot of people in his line of work did that sort of thing, but it’s wrong, and none of the others are ministers,” said a highplaced PSOE official.

Rosario said. “Neither the substance of the decision nor the process that led to it are justified,” he said, adding that the US decision still needed a confirmation. The tough words came days after a weekend G7 summit ended in acrimony when US President Donald Trump snubbed a joint statement, largely over differences on trade with Europe, Japan and Canada. In an officially issued statement, the US said that it estimated that olives from Spain are sold for 16.88 percent to 25.5 percent less than their real market value. Washington also claimed that Spain subsidised olive growers by anywhere between 7.52 percent and 27.02 percent. In 2017, Spain’s olive exports to the United States amounted to $67.6 million. The final decision will rest with the US International Trade Commission (ITC), expected on July 24.

EU slams US olive duties as unacceptable The European Union has furiously criticised a decision by the United States to impose higher duties on Spanish olives imports, as a bitter transatlantic trade feud worsened. Brussels was responding angrily to the latest trade salvo from the Trump administration that followed Washington’s shock decision earlier this month to impose punishing tariffs on metals imports from Europe and other close allies. The US Department of Commerce had announced the extra tariffs on Spain’s iconic agricultural export just the day before, considering that these were indeed subsidised and sold at prices below their real value. This decision “is simply unacceptable,” said European Commission spokesman Daniel Rosario at a news briefing in Brussels. “This is a protectionist measure targeting a high quality and succesful EU product popular with US consumers,”

Thieves broke into their building and stole all manner of things important to the development of the children and adults placed there. On hearing about this the groups decided to cover the €2000 lost, to hopefully go some way to rectify this awful act. After a difficult start to the year, due to personal tragedies and illnesses, the Band is finally up to full strength and decided to do more good in the area. With time short, two concerts were arranged. Chairman and compere Ian Gibson said ‘as a thank you to our supporters and followers, we decided to make the concerts free of charge and to invite charities from our area to give donations from money raised at Christmas and from our last concert’. At the Concert on Friday in San Miguel the charities, which are AECC, Reachout, Easy Horse Care and Elche Children’s Home, each received €400 plus a share

of €440 from a raffle and collection. The charities were nominated by Band Members who have experience of or connections with them. On Saturday, with grateful thanks to Trev Massey at Witherspoons for sponsoring the event, the band gave an open air concert with a collection in aid of The HELP association of San Miguel and raised a further €280. Ian added ‘The chance to help others is very important to the Band as we give each other so much help and support and are lucky to have this great group of people, here in Spain to call family. The best way we can do this is to make music and raise money’. The Band rehearses every Wednesday at 5pm in rooms above the Union Musical and anyone is welcome to come and play or listen.

BCE rates to remain unchanged until at least summer 2019 cease altogether after December. This low interest policy also suggests the Euribor, or Eurozone consumer interest rate, will remain at rock bottom – having been below 1% for five-and-a-half years and dropping into minus figures for the first time ever in February 2016 the month of May closed this year on -0.188%. A very slight rise is predicted for the end of this June, to -0.181%. Spanish mortgages and some personal loans and credit cards are linked to the Euribor, and homeowners have been enjoying not only exceptionally low buying prices, but the cheapest mortgages in history. Outside of major cities and soughtafter beach locations, it is now possible to buy a medium-sized apartment with a mortgage of around €300 a month – albeit banks now require a minimum

Central European Bank (BCE) bosses have opted to keep interest rates at their current level until at least summer 2019, or longer if necessary, as part of their continued strategy to reach inflation objects and promote growth in the common currency area. Lending to high-street banks by the BCE will attract interest at 0%, although the Eurozone governing body will continue to charge 0.4% for excess of reserves at one day, or marginal deposit facility. It will continue with one-day lending rates, or marginal credit facilities, of 0.25%. This conclusion was reached by the board of governors on Thursday at its meeting in the Latvian capital of Riga. During the session, the BCE also decided to reduce debt-buying to a maximum of €15 billion per month and

deposit of 20%, or 40% for a second or subsequent property, and taxes and fees in addition make up 12.5% of the purchase price. Although experts have long warned Spanish mortgage payers that their financial honeymoon is not guaranteed forever, the risk remains low with rates having been relatively stable and gradually lowering for around seven years. Also, unlike in the UK where variablerate mortgages change from month to month, Spanish home loans are only reviewed once a year and adjusted in line with the current Euribor rate. This means that by keeping a close eye on the Eurozone interest rate and staying abreast of any short-term predicted or actual changes, homeowners have months ahead of them to make a decision as to whether it would be safer to switch to a fixed-rate loan, and for how long.

Drug violence escalates in Southern Spain After years of chasing down the thousands of young people who work for the powerful drug traffickers in the southern Spanish area known as Campo de Gibraltar, the police in the town of La Línea de la Concepción (Cádiz) thought they had seen it all. “We know that if we block their path when they are transporting merchandise they will not hesitate to ram our vehicles with their powerful stolen cars. If they can protect the drug dealers who employ them, they will. They will even break them out of hospital while they are under police custody,” the agent adds. “But we weren’t expecting them to actually ambush us.” But that’s exactly what happened. The police received a tip-off about a colla – the local term for the groups that deliver shipments – and a possible tobacco dropoff at the beach. The police dispatched an undercover vehicle to patrol the area, but once they arrived they saw a barricade burning in

Bernabé, part of the San Bernardo neighbourhood adjacent to the maze of streets known as La Atunara, where drug lords have built “fortresses” to conceal their illegal goods. “At least 20 people” began to throw bricks at the police car, as well as flares and Molotov cocktails, according to sources at the La Línea police station. Even though they called for reinforcements immediately, two officers were injured and multiple cars were damaged. The street lights went out and 15 to 20 teens disappeared into the darkness. Only one suspect, a 15-year-old minor who resisted arrest, was held. The police suspect the blackout was deliberately caused by the assailants: “The attackers cut the cables, I’m sure of it, so that they could escape with impunity.” One of the agents said that “the bottles were filled with a thick solution that was made to stick to the skin. We were lucky that it did not get on any of the cars or officers.”

This is the latest escalation of violence in the fight against drug trafficking in Campo de Gibraltar. The attack may have been retaliation for the recent arrest of Antonio Tejón Castaño, a local drug kingpin and the eldest of the Castaña brothers. Drug trafficking has become a reliable source of income to many families and teenagers in La Línea, which has some of the highest unemployment levels in Spain. Many locals have turned to drug trafficking as a means of survival, with an estimated 3,000 people believed to be working for narcotics gangs. Drug dealers have been operating in southern Spain for a long time, largely unchallenged, and have gained the respect and even the admiration of those whom they have “helped.” The recent death of a child who was hit by a speedboat used to smuggle drugs has drawn the spotlight on the situation and even resulted in additional

reinforcements for the police departments in the area. On the other hand, the apprehension of the Castaña gang’s leader has riled up those involved in the drug trade. One of the police officers in La Línea has been denouncing the lack of material and human resourses in his department for years. This source said that “these attacks are a completely new thing. They are premeditated, well thought out and orchestrated. They are using guerrilla tactics, like the ones used by the kale borroka (the street violence practiced for years by ETA sympathizers in the Basque Country). They aim to kill us as well as to intimidate us.” The police see two main motives behind the ambush. “This is part of the escalation of violence that is not stopped because there is not enough of a response from the system. Because of that they think, why not do it?

Additionally, seizures have increased lately, and they are angry about it.” The majority police union SUP has made a renewed request for additional personnel and equipment, which never seems to arrive. “Politician after politician has promised to do much, but we haven’t seen anything being done. We need answers and we need them now.”

ast week saw your favourite weekly newspaper host its tenth annual Culinary Awards, held in order to recognise and reward all that is good about eating out and enjoying good food on the Costa Blanca.

The awards were very well received and there was great support and camaraderie

between the entrants. There was much cheering, lots of emotion and even a few tears but everyone had a great time. The evening entertainment was provided by Simon Morton of Sunshine FM, who ended the night with an after-show disco which saw people up on their feet and dancing the night away.

If you go along to Tipsy Terrace in Hondon de los Frailes on Friday 22nd June between 10:00am and 12:00noon you will find more than just coffee and cakes. La Casa Canina is putting on a dog agility show to demonstrate different levels of training from an experienced dog through to a young pup just learning how to jump...and go through hoops! Expert agility dog handler, Diego Martinez, will show how it should be done with his champion border collie Enya. Following this Danny de Castillo, the acclaimed assistance dog trainer, will then ask his own dog to demonstrate an amazing range of obedience and skills. Guests will also get to meet and pet a selection of some of the beautiful dogs that have been abandoned and rescued and who are being cared for at Barkinside, a rescue sanctuary based near La Romana and Novelda. There will be a couple of stalls where you can purchase all things doggie and a range of general items including jewellery. This fun packed morning will delight any dog lovers whilst at the same time introduce everyone to the new website www.Barkinside.es which showcases all

the abandoned and rescued animals in their care. Of course the morning would not be complete without a grand raffle which will have great prizes including a large basket full of goodies and lots of wine. So come along to Tipsy Terrace on the 22nd June and have a great time, everyone will be made welcome.

Huntington´s update The Huntington’s Disease Association recently held its first auction at El Castillo Restaurante, near La Marina. There were 52 lots of various sizes and values, as well as vouchers and promises such as ironing, cleaning, caring and airport runs. Bidding started slowly, but with Mike Hack, the auctioneer, and helpers Bev and Peter, people started to get into the bidding mode. The night culminated in the biggest lot of all, a signed football from this year’s first team of FC Barcelona. With pre-auction bids on the table, and strong opposition by a football fan in the room, bidding rose to a staggering 550e. The ball was bought by Sam Gibson as an “investment for the future” for his 14 year old grandson, Joshua. Altogether the evening raised 1929.29 euros for the charity. Marion Smith, the President of the HDA Association, was overwhelmed by such an achievement and said: “It will go a long way towards helping people living in Costa Blanca that suffer with this terrible disease.” Meanwhile, The Ladies Who Lunch group from Quesada surprised representatives from the local Huntington's Disease charity with a donation of 1000 Euros at a specially arranged luncheon at Sinfonia's Restaurant in Dona Pepa held recently. Photographs show group founder, Janine Williams presenting the collection to HDA President Marion Smith and Treasurer Christine Watkins and diners enjoying the relaxed

atmosphere, food and friendship. “We are absolutely overwhelmed by this generous donation from a truly wonderful group of ladies,” said Marion. “As a newly established charity, this money will go a long way to helping sufferers of Huntington's in this area and their families,” she continued. Huntington’s Disease is a neurological disorder. It is the third most common inherited neurological disease in the UK and affects more people than Motor Neurone Disease. It is a hereditary disease which is caused by a faulty gene. The faulty gene leads to damage of the nerve cells in areas of the brain. The damage of these cells affects a person in a variety of ways, including physically, emotionally and cognitively. The visible symptoms usually begin between the ages of 30 and 50 years, though they may occur at any time from childhood to old age. Life expectancy from diagnoses is between 15-20 years.

At the moment there is no known cure. The Huntington's Disease Association are looking for Volunteers to help in various roles, so if you have some time to spare and would like to help this worthwhile charity, please contact Marion Smith on 634 905 249, or email marion.smith@hda.org.es More information on Huntington's Disease (HD) can be found on the website www.hda.org.es

Shakira and Piqué burgled Columbian-Born pop-star Shakira and her FC Barcelona midfielder husband Gerard Piqué have suffered a burglary at their home in Esplugues de Llobregat, Barcelona province – but as yet have not made a formal report to the police. Neither Shakira, 41, nor Piqué, 31 was at home at the time, since the former was performing at Cologne's Laxness Arena, Germany, as part of her El Dorado World Tour, and the latter was in the audience, his last moment of relaxation before he joined the rest of the Spanish team in Russia for the FIFA World Cup. Piqué's parents were housesitting, although it has not been revealed whether they were also babysitting their grandchildren, Milan, five and Sasha, three, or whether the boys were with their parents. However, luckily no-one was hurt and no violence involved, and Piqué's mum and dad slept through the break-in. As yet, the couple has been unable to confirm what has been stolen. For Shakira, 2018 is proving to be an annus horribilis – even though media speculation about a possible split from Piqué has shown itself to be unfounded, the half-Lebanese, quarter-Spanish

artist has only just returned to work after having to cancel her tour midway through due to vocal chord haemorrhaging which required surgery. She is also under the spotlight for alleged undeclared taxes amounting to €1 million, which her accountants did not make the Spanish authorities aware of because Shakira was only in Spain for a few weeks of that year, due to being on tour. Despite the case likely being an issue of interpretation of fiscal laws and the singer-songwriter's finances being entirely handled by contracted professionals, the stigma for Shakira has reportedly taken its toll on her – especially as the sum involved, being over €120,000, means she is automatically under criminal

investigation and could face a suspended prison sentence. Reports earlier this year even claimed the pressure and anxiety resulting from the case was making her trademark blonde hair fall out, forcing her to seek expert treatment. Piqué has not had a good year, either – Spanish fans subjected him to insults at the end of 2017 after he voiced his opinions on Catalunya's disputed independence referendum. Although it is not thought he supports the region becoming a separate country, he staunchly defended his home territory's right to vote, and posted a photograph of himself on social media placing his slip in a ballot box.

Minimum wage set at €14,000 Company representatives and unions have agreed on the new government's proposed minimum wage increase just two days before a planned protest was due to take place across the country. The demonstration was called off earlier this week, even though the new salary requirements had not yet been confirmed, since president Pedro Sánchez and employment minister Magdalena Valerio had both pledged to make the changes before marchers hit the streets this Saturday. Now, employees working a fulltime week – defined as 40 hours, net of lunch breaks – cannot be

paid less than €14,000 a year, or €1,000 a month in 14 payslips, with a double salary in August and at Christmas. It is not clear whether the minimum tax threshold will be altered, since this is currently €12,000, meaning the €2,000 a year difference between this and the €14,000 minimum wage would translate to just €4 a month.But the final details are not closed yet – the key step was to get the CEPYME, representing the interests of small and medium businesses, and the CEOE, covering large corporations, and workers' unions to agree with the move. As well as the minimum

wage hike, companies will now be required to increase salaries by 2 percent per year to account for inflation, plus an extra 1 percent where business was prospering. This is not fixed, however, and is only a guide, since a high number of collective working conditions agreements covering industries and provinces that have recently been renewed include an average wage index-linking of 1.59 percent per annum. Unions wanted the annual index-linking figure to be set at 3 percent, but have provisionally accepted the 2 percent plus 1 percent for profitable company performance.

Beware SPFs Water-resistant sun cream´s are not as strong as manufacturers claim. You might want to think again if you think your waterresistant sun cream doesn’t need reapplying. A new study by British media group Which? has found a leading brand’s SPF factor fell by 59 percent after its user spent 40 minutes in salt water and moving water. Manufacturers allow a product to claim it’s water-resistant if its SPF drops by less than 50 percent. Another favourite own-brand cream fell by 34 percent in both salt water and chlorine water. Furthermore, the magazine

added that protection from the sun is likely to fall much further when factoring in reflection from the water, heat, light, sweat, towelling and rubbing. Which? Director Nikki Stopford

said: “With 15,400 new cases of melanoma in the UK alone each year, manufacturers should be required to robustly test their products and make only claims that can be relied on.”

Hay fever If you sneeze a lot, if your nose is often runny or stuffy, or if your eyes, mouth or nose often feel itchy, you may have allergic rhinitis, a condition that affects more than 100 million people worldwide. Allergic rhinitis develops when the body’s immune system becomes sensitised and overreacts to something in the environment that typically causes no problem in most people. Allergic rhinitis is commonly known as hay fever. But you don’t have to be exposed to hay to have symptoms. And contrary to what the name suggests, you don’t have to have a fever to have hay fever either. If you are a sufferer the bad news is that millions of people are expected to be hit by hay fever in the coming weeks as pollen counts reach their highest levels in over a decade. The Met Office said grass pollen levels will trigger reactions in many people not previously affected by hay fever due to recent warm weather and rainstorms. It predicts dry weather in the coming days will lift pollen from grass, plants and trees to create the highest pollen levels since 2006 in the UK and this will be prevalent across Europe. Experts say the conditions will trigger reactions in those who have “latent hay fever”, those who record positive for the allergy but who only have a reaction when pollen counts are extremely high. Record numbers are suffering from hay fever, which affects up to 26 percent of all adults and as many as 40 percent of children. Research has shown that rates have trebled in 20 years. In the UK the Met Office has joined with the NHS to set up the UK’s first pollen-monitoring network. A joint research programme has identified 150 grass pollens that cause most allergies. The Met Office’s Yolanda Clewlow said: “We know how seriously hay fever can impact people’s lives, particularly as a result of grass pollen. We aim to help empower sufferers in managing their symptoms more effectively. ‘We urge them to check our pollen forecast or to download our simple to use mobile app to receive notifications.” Experts are unsure why hay fever, and other allergies, have been on the rise. Some point to changing climate, lack of breast feeding and cleaner homes so infants do not come in to contact with protective bacteria in the first months. Grass is the most common cause of hay fever, affecting 95% of UK sufferers.

Polling by the Met Office found that two-fifths affected suffer so badly it ruins their summer. Wine off the menu And, as if that´s not bad enough ...if summer to you equals long, hot afternoons drinking pints of cider and glasses of rosé in glorious pub gardens, you're going to curse the day you developed hay fever more than ever. Because I hate to break it to you, but alcohol makes hay fever worse. It's true. The one solace you had – getting so delightfully tipsy you don't even mind that you just sneezed for 45 minutes straight – is officially a no-go. It's all to do with 'histamines', Dr Pixie McKenna told Cosmopolitan UK. And you'll no doubt be familiar with that term from the stashes of antihistamine tablets you've got cluttering your bathroom cabinets this time of year. 'When our immune system reacts, it releases a chemical called histamine as an alert to something that it identifies as harmful to the body,' explained Dr Pixie, adding: 'It's a bit like the sprinkler system that comes on when there is a fire.' The problem is, the doctor went on to say: 'Alcoholic drinks contain histamine, the very substance we are trying to defend ourselves against in the hay fever cycle. 'Given alcohol contains varying amounts of histamine, it is counter intuitive to ingest histamines in drinks while simultaneously taking antihistamines by mouth, as one contradicts the other,' Dr Pixie told Cosmopolitan UK. According to the expert, red wine is a particular trigger for hay fever due to the high levels of histamine it contains. And Dr Pixie had another word of warning about drinking alcohol while taking antihistamine tablets for hay fever. 'Alcohol can increase the potentially sedative effects of antihistamines, so the two are not a good combination,' she advised. So it's up to you: you can pretend you never read this article and wonder why oh why your hay fever is so appallingly bad after a boozy picnic in the park; or you can follow the wise doctor's advice and lay off the G&Ts et al until the summer season passes. Tell tale signs ❧ Runny nose ❧ Itchy eyes, mouth or skin ❧ Sneezing ❧ Stuffy nose due to blockage or congestion

❧ Fatigue (often reported due to poor quality sleep as a result of nasal obstruction) Hay Fever Triggers ❧ Outdoor allergens, such as pollens from grass, trees and weeds ❧ Indoor allergens, such as pet hair or dander, dust mites and mold ❧ Irritants, such as cigarette smoke, perfume and diesel exhaust Combat Tips Track pollen count - Pollen count varies day by day depending on the weather. When you check the weather forecast, the information provided will include the daily pollen count. According to Allergy UK, the pollen count tends to be higher on days that are warmer and dryer, and lower on days that are cooler and wetter. This is because rain typically washes pollen from the air. If the day ahead is set to be particularly warm and dry, try to limit your time spent outdoors. Keep clean - When you do venture outside, pollen can become attached to your hair and clothes. In order to avoid your hay fever symptoms playing havoc after a day spent outdoors, make sure that you shower and wash your hair after arriving home. You should also change your clothing as soon as possible. When pollen counts are recorded as being high, it’s important to remember not to dry your clothes outdoors. Avoid grassy areas - Anyone who suffers from hay fever knows that grassy areas can cause your symptoms to spike. While it may be impossible to avoid grassy areas altogether, if you know that you’re particularly affected by grass it may be worth avoiding large grassy spaces or doing activities such as camping, as advised by Dr Mary Harding. If you’re typically in charge of gardening duties in your household, perhaps it would be best to delegate this task to someone else. Beware car air - As well as being aware of the pollen count outdoors, you need to also take indoor air into account. If you’re travelling in a car, make sure that you keep your car windows closed during your journey. Of course, doing this on a hot day can be stifling. However, if you turn on the air conditioning in your car, you may be blasted with pollen from the outside. Investing in a pollen filter for the air vents in your car could do you a whole lot of good. Dr Harding recommends changing pollen filters every time you stop the car for activities such as filling up on petrol or going for a bite to eat. Medicate - Keeping your stock of hay fever medicine topped up is obviously vital. There are various different types of medicines that you can try, depending on what your doctor recommends is best for you. Antihistamine nasal sprays, antihistamine tablets, steroid nasal sprays and eye drops are all available to buy from local pharmacies to stem hay fever symptoms. Dr Sabrina Shah-Desai, an ophthalmic and oculoplastic surgeon, stated that people with hay fever should take antihistamines before their symptoms start playing up. “In hay fever, histamine causes eye symptoms such as inflammation, redness and itching by acting on H1 histamine receptors in the eyes," she said. “Eye drops block the H1 receptors, however this treatment only works if taken before contact with the allergen, and it can take a number of weeks for the effects of the treatment to be seen." There are dozens of antihistamines; some are available over the counter, while others require a prescription.

Continued in page 55 Patients respond to them in a wide variety of ways. Generally, the newer (secondgeneration) products work well and produce only minor side effects. Some people find that an antihistamine becomes less effective as the allergy season worsens or as their allergies change over time. If you find that an antihistamine is becoming less effective, tell your allergist, who may recommend a different type or strength of antihistamine. If you have excessive nasal dryness or thick nasal mucus,

consult an allergist before taking antihistamines. Contact your allergist for advice if an antihistamine causes drowsiness or other side effects. Proper use: Short-acting antihistamines can be taken every four to six hours, while timed-release antihistamines are taken every 12 to 24 hours. The short-acting antihistamines are often most helpful if taken 30 minutes before an anticipated exposure to an allergen (such as at a picnic during ragweed season). Timedrelease antihistamines are better suited to long-term use for those who need daily medications. Proper use of these drugs is just as important as their

selection. The most effective way to use them is before symptoms develop. A dose taken early can eliminate the need for many later doses to reduce established symptoms. Side effects: Older, what are often termed first-generation, antihistamines may cause drowsiness or performance impairment, which can lead to accidents and personal injury. Even when these medications are taken only at bedtime, they can still cause considerable impairment the following day, even in people who do not feel drowsy. Some of the newer antihistamines do not cause drowsiness.

Skin care product beauty editors swear by There’s no such thing as a one-size-fitsall skin care routine. With so many products on the market, figuring out what to use on your skin can be overwhelming and confusing. The process of trial and error can seem never-ending. On top of that,

there’s always going to be some new cream or serum or oil that promises to make us all look like airbrushed models. Here we find out what beauty editors really use on their faces to look their best... The Ordinary

I’ve become a total The Ordinary addict. I tried it on a whim about 6 months ago and I definitely see a change in my skin. I use the routine they recommend for general dryness and signs of age. My mornings: I rinse my face in the shower with water, no soap. Then I put a small drop of Buffet on first, followed by the Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5. I’ll add a drop or two of the Caffeine Solution to my fingers and pat them under my eyes. I let that soak in and then put on a drop of the Rose Hip oil. Pharmacy finds “I have combination skin, and my dermatologist recently put me on this regimen to deal with my occasional pimple and hyperpigmentation. During my morning shower, I wash my face with the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser and then pat it dry with a hand towel that I only use for my face. After I’m out of the shower, I put a couple of squeezes of the NeoStrata Oily Skin Solution on a cotton pad and apply that. After that dries, I put on the Aveeno daily moisturizer, and let that dry while I’m getting dressed and then put on makeup if I’m wearing it that day. When I get home, I take off most of my makeup with a facial wipe, if necessary, and then wash my face with the hydrating cleanser again during my evening shower. Once I’m out of the shower, I’ll use a pea-sized drop of the tretinoin cream. Once that dries, I’ll put on the CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion. Depending on how my skin feels or how lazy I feel, I may skip any or all of these steps except the Aveeno daily moisturizer in the morning and the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser at night.”

Mark from Montesinos asks: Hi Aunty, I have an odd problem with my internet speed. I have upgraded from a terrible 4Mbit ADSL connection to a 100Mb fiber optic system and I download all of my movies and TV series as torrents from a UK site but the download speed has got slower and will sometimes drop below 1Mb/sec and some of the large blue ray versions can take 24 hours to finish. I know this isn’t normal so how can I up the speed to be closer to the 10Mb/sec that I pay for. Aunty Says: Hi Mark. What The download speed/time for each film will depend on the movie website’s connection in the UK, and a lot of these sites will limit each user’s allocated chunk of their bandwidth. This is to guarantee everyone gets a reasonable speed. Even though you have 100Mb per second available with your provider this doesn’t necessarily mean you can download all files at that rate. Helen via email asks: I have a Gmail email account and I have been having loads of strange problems where emails keep disappearing and some addresses are not on my laptop yet they are if I use my iPad or phone. If it helps I am using Windows Live Mail on my Windows 8 laptop and I think I have the basic email apps that came preloaded on my iPad and Samsung phone. Aunty Says: This can get a bit complicated Helen so I’ll try and summarize it as best I can. I have mentioned in a few of my previous articles that accessing your emails via the internet using your browser (Chrome, Internet Explorer etc) is much less

Technology

troublesome and easier to manage than using an installed email app. Your problem is fairly common and it is likely due to the fact that you are accessing your emails from 3 different devices and they must constantly syncronise with each other (via the Gmail server) to keep everything running smoothly. If one of your devices is not configured correctly, or wasn’t able to sync, then things can go south, I’ll give you an example. As things are, if you delete an email from your iPad, for it to also disappear from your laptop and phone, all three devices need to communicate via the Gmail server and sync their inbox folders etc. However, if you start accessing your emails via www.gmail.com (must be on all 3 devices) then there is no need for any syncing because the inbox folder isn’t on the device, rather it is stored by Google on one of their Gmail servers. This is the essence of webmail and all the email providers such as Hotmail, Yahoo etc. all provide it. John via email asks: Hi Aunty. I have been using Ccleaner

for years and I have never had any problems. The only thing that does concern me is recently when I run Registry Tool I see a lot more entries and I’m not sure if I should delete all of them. Most of them are MUI files and unused file extensions. Aunty Says: I steer well clear of any cleanup program that wants to access and edit my Windows registry purely because I have witnessed so many messed up computers. The Windows registry is a huge, complex and very delicate database that stores absolutely everything Windows needs to know to run properly and it only takes one slight error and your computer can be rendered useless. The files you are finding are harmless and take up very little room so best leave them be. Certainly let Ccleaner clear any temp files if it finds any. Well that’ll do for another week, email you questions to auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and I will see what I can do.

Skateboarding on the pavements in Madrid Skateboards may be used on pavements, bicycle paths and other pedestrian areas of the city of Madrid, according to the final draft of the new Sustainable Mobility Ordinance, which was approved this month by the Government Board. The document, whose main points were already announced last February, allows skateboards to travel under the same rules as skates and scooters without motors, since in the initial proposal of the ordinance its use was exclusively for sports, which meant it was restricted and limited to specifically designated areas. "They will be able to go on the pavements at the pace of the pedestrians, who will always have priority, they will not be able to do jumps or acrobatics," municipal sources point out, however, for skateboards restrictions may be established for safety reasons on specific routes, for example, on bicycle paths that have a steep slope.

Truck drivers getting younger In a move aimed at allowing younger people to find work in the transport and logistics sector, the DGT is looking to lower the age limit for driving trucks. Currently, the minimum age to receive compulsory professional training to drive trucks, called colloquially CAP, is 21. Under the proposals laid out this month by the DGT, the minimum will be lowered to 18 years of age. This is the second major change announced recently. Holders of Spanish driving licences who are qualified to drive category ‘B’ vehicles (passenger cars), and with at least two-years driving experience, will be able to drive an additional type of vehicle without extra examinations. The DGT has announced that category ‘B’ licence holders will now also be permitted to drive goods vehicles, so long as this vehicle is of an ‘eco’ environmentally friendly type, and no more than 4,250 kilos. Ordinarily, the regulations require a category ‘C’ licence to be held for this type of vehicle with more than 3,500 kilos of Maximum Authorized Mass (MMA), but this new exemption allows for car licence holders to drive heavier goods vehicles so long as it is an ecological vehicle that do not exceed 4,250 kilos. The reason is that the DGT realises that

this type of vehicle can often be heavier on account of the additional weight caused by batteries required to fuel the vehicle, and have reacted to calls by the logistics sector to make the change in order to compensate for this. This latest amendment to the regulation is in addition to the one already approved that adapts the regulations to allow alternative fuel vehicles, such as natural gas, liquefied gas, electricity or hydrogen, to increase their Maximum Authorized Mass (MMA) by up to one tonne. Spain is the only country in Europe where the age is currently 21, and so these changes will ensure competitiveness across the European community, according to Gregorio Serrano, the Director General of Traffic. The latest legislation also paves the way for autonomous vehicles in the future; as they are considered to be safer and more efficient that human-only operated vehicles. The sector is undergoing a revolution, both in terms of the type of vehicles being driven, with electrically powered and extended length vehicles already available, and now with this proposal to lower the age, it is hoped that there will be an injection of recruitment into this much needed field.

62 CostaBlancaPeople 19th-25th June 2018

What happens if you have an accident and your ITV is not in order? Changes to the ITV regulations came into force in May in Spain, making some elements of the mandatory vehicle testing process easier for vehicle owners, but also clamping down on some other serious and often neglected parts. Just like the MOT test in the UK, the ITV is mandatory for all vehicles in Spain, once they satisfy certain characteristics such as age. As reported previously, amongst the recent changes are stricter controls to deal with pollution, and other procedural innovations that we have already detailed, but one topic we havenÂ´t covered so far is what happens if you are involved in a collision or an incident and your ITV has expired, and so, we hope to clear that up now. Firstly, we must point out, that if your vehicle qualifies for an ITV inspection, then this inspection is mandatory. In addition, if the ITV expires, then the vehicle cannot be driven on the roads. Whereas in the UK we might be permitted to drive the vehicle under certain circumstances, such as to a prebooked appointment at a test centre, in Spain, no such luxury exists. It is quite simple, if the ITV has expired, the vehicle cannot be driven. In this case, the only way to get your vehicle to a test centre is on the back of a grua, a tow truck. Driving a vehicle with an expired ITV will result in a fine, and can easily result in the vehicle being immobilised and seized. We cannot be clear enough on

this point. If the vehicleÂ´s ITV has expired, te vehicle cannot be driven. However, if you do want to risk driving, you might well get away with it for a while, but with an accident waiting around every corner, you could face even more trouble if you are in any way involved, whether it is deemed to have been your fault or not. If you are driving with an expired ITV and are involved in an incident in which you are not the culprit, you do not lose the right to compensation or repair of your vehicle. However, when the investigators submit their reports and file a case of a vehicle with an expired, or unfavourable ITV, you will be fined immediately. In addition, even if you receive compensation because of the accident, your insurer may refuse to pay for your legal defence coverage, a bill for which could well be costly. However, if you are deemed to have been the person who caused the collision, then things take a decidedly different route. Although it will depend on the clauses of your own insurance policy, your company would indemnify the rest of those involved, and could leave you without cover for any other injured parties. The end result could be a tough legal battle where you are personally held both responsible for the incident and accountable for the damages caused. Worse still, if the incident was found to have been caused by a mechanical

fault on the vehicle, it is possible that your insurance will not cover your injuries, although it may cover the damages of your vehicle. If your insurance company can prove that the cause was a fault which may have been identified by the ITV inspection, and that the ITV is not in order, the insurance company could refuse to indemnify you and will pass on the payment of the rest

of the compensation of those involved, as well as the compensation of other occupants of your vehicle, to you direct. The conclusion that we can draw from all this is that the best way to avoid getting into trouble is to make sure you donÂ´t miss your ITV inspection and drive only with a favourable report, and not one that has expired. As we can see from the examples

listed, not only will you face a significant fine, the consequences of not having passed the ITV inspection are far greater than perhaps considered, and with the new changes allowing you to renew your ITV up to a month before the expiry, without it affecting the renewal date, you now have an entire month to plan, process and pass the mandatory vehicle inspection test.

Hacienda Del Alamo Lo Crispin Golf Society The Society on 13th June played an Individual Stableford Competition for the first time in its history, at Hacienda Del Alamo. This fact coupled with its considerable distance from Lo Crispin and the vagaries and inconsistencies of satnav systems, a number of members arrived with little time to spare before the 1st tee off time! Clearly the whole complex, situation and set up at Hacienda Del Alamo is undoubtedly impressive. Unfortunately, the Course in the opinion of the majority of the 30 members and 2 guests who teed it up on the day, was a disappointment. A good proportion of the numerous bunkers were classified as GUR (Ground Under Repair) and those

that weren't had little sand in them, with a layer of what looked like little gravel stones on top! Further the greens had obviously been hollatined recently, which produced uneven rolls and made judgement of pace difficult. The above issues along with a strong breeze into players faces on many holes and the length of the course (one of the longest in Spain), no doubt greatly accounted for the relatively poor scores. As usual after the game, following the long drive back to Lo Crispin we returned to Lo Crispin Tavern, where the helpful and welcoming staff also provided us with welcome Tapas. The prize winners were as follows :

Gold Division 1st. Place - Alan Watson 29 pts off 14 2nd. Place - Ron Perkins 26 pts. off 10 3rd. Place - Ray Moles 25 pts. off 1

The 2s pot was claimed by Alan Watson Free Game Draw winner - Brian Coultate.

Silver Division 1st. Place - Paul Flanaghan - 28 pts. off 24 (on count back) 2nd. Place - Sue Smith - 28 pts. off 26 3rd. Place - Alan Crain - 28 pts. off 23 NTPs on Par 3s Hole 5 - Ron Perkins Hole 8 - No one managed to reach or stay on the green. Hole 12 - Carl Peden Hole 15 - Sue Smith

The next main game at Altoreal on 27th. June is 4 ball better ball competition and the next interim game is at Font Del Llop on 20th. June. Anyone interested in joining the Society or wishes to play with us as a guest, should contact any committee member, whose details can found on the Society's website.

June 2018 Golf Report This month saw twenty-one players take a shorter journey to Alenda golf course we met at the course an hour before the game to sort the green fees out get the buggies and have a coffee along with the usual banter that golfers love to give out to each other. The course was in superb condition as after the hollow tining at the end of May we had plenty of rain followed by Spain’s glorious sunshine which provided a perfect follow up from the course’s preparation, the greens and the fairway were excellent. After our game we returned to the Mini golf bar close to Quesada Arches for our presentation which was followed by plates of sausages chips with bread and butter provided by the bar which is very welcome when you have slogged around the golf course for a few hours especially with a few beers to go after the food, on to our winners our BF9 was won by Bill Peters with seventeen points and our BB9 being taken by Tim Cremins who scored fifteen points this is an extra competition separate from the winners who are excluded, both received bottles of wine, our nearest the pins were won by, on the third John Chatham the fifth being won by Steve Gilbert our guest Dave Honey took the thirteenth with Tim Cremins winning the sixteenth each receiving our customary sleeve of golf balls in third place with thirty three points was Martin

Collins playing off eleven but taking the winners spot because in first and second place were two guests who are excluded from taking any first prizes, Geoff Rees playing off ten with thirty five points and Dave Honey playing off ten also who was top of the bill with thirty seven points both guests receiving bottles of wine while Martin won a bottle of brandy, I must say thank you to Brian Jones for donating the Brandy and to Peter List and Barrie Hopkinson for donating the wine this enables us to put a more euros into our social fund, our soccer card was won by John Chatham who selected Arsenal, next months outing takes us to El Plantio. Busters Golf Society is a small friendly group of like minded people who play on the first Friday of the month , depending on the time of the year we generally have between sixteen and twenty four players , over the five years since we first formed the society some of our original members have moved on , either returned to their country of origin or have ventured to pastures new , so we are looking for a few more members to swell our ranks, if you are interested in joining our society ( its free) then please email me Barry Grinsell at bustersgolfsociety@hotmail.com quoting your phone number and current handicap and I will get back to you within a couple of days Barry Grinsell

Las Ramblas Golf & Social Society Report On Monday we played the team game 6x6x6. Four man teams with the best single score to count on each of the first six holes, two best on the next six and the best three scores over the final six. With 88 points the winning team consisted of Olga Douglas, Marleen Billen, John Conway and John Shervell. Worthy of a mention in dispatches were John Conway’s heroics on the notoriously tricky par five 4th. Having duffed his second shot into the veranka and taken the subsequent penalty, he played a great shot onto the green and rolled in the putt for par. Mind you, just as well John Shervell was amongst the winners, he can now afford to buy petrol for his buggy (which was abandoned on the 17th!) A very close competition with a number of teams only a couple of shots behind. Wednesday was the sixth and final round in the series of the dreaded medal play. With a reversal in the family fortunes, first place went to Olga Douglas with a tremendous nett score of 66, beating husband Alan who was runner up with 68. In fact that’s the second consecutive nett 68 for Alan and he’s been runner up to a lady on both occasions. Lindsay Forbes (playing off a six handicap) with 70 was third and Geoff Biggerstaff (one of our founder members) fourth with 73. Good

from 80 yards on the 15th went on to win his match against Brian Staines 2&1. I’m afraid yours truly lost 6&5 to very in form Heinz Lei. Both the captains, Dave Pulling for England and Lindsay Forbes for Europe won their games. In the after match interviews Dave diplomatically said ‘’Congratulations to both teams on a fiercely contested match’’ whilst Lindsay replied with ‘’We was robbed, I hate losing to the English’’ (he’s Scottish by the way). A rematch is planned for the autumn. Pues, hasta la semana que viene Peter Reffell

scores to come in 5th and 6th were John Shervell with 74 and John Collins with75. Those lucky enough to win a share of the ‘2’s money were Peter Wickham, Brian Staines, Ulrika Barth and former member, but now a guest, Phil Harrington. Having enjoyed a lunch at Falidu’s on the Thursday it was onto our much awaited ‘Ryder Cup’ England v Europe on Friday. Well, it couldn’t have been scripted any better. With the score at seven points each we’re just waiting on the last match and they came in with a half! So a draw 7.5 points each. Worthy of a mention is Reg Akehurst who at one point was 5 down to Liz Robertson and managed to half his game. Mike Mahoney, who chipped in

Sacked in the morning ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

And, in the words and style of Robbie Williams in a red snake skin suit, it is time for you to let me entertain you. The World Cup is in full flow and by the time you actually get to round to reading this there is every chance England will have removed the belief of even the most positive of fans. But what has happened so far? The Good Russia: Hang on a minute, 5-0? Was this fixed? I mean, there was one hell of a lot of handshaking going on between Big Bad Vlad and his Saudi Arabian counterpart in the posh seats. Or, more controversially, are Russia actually not as bad as we all expected? Meh, probably the first one. Peru: Hey, it’s not all about winning you know. Peru might have lost their opening game against Denmark, mainly because Cueva hit a bum note from the penalty spot, but they have lit up Russia with their crazy stories of how fans managed to get to Russia (including one man attempting to double his weight so he would qualify for one of the fat seats on the plane, therefore guaranteeing himself a seat), beautiful kits of the ages and wonderfully care-free football. Ronaldo: Yes, I am going there. Whether you are #teammessi or #teamronaldo you cannot deny the fact

Las Salinas Petanca LAS SALINAS PETANCA LEAGUE Week 9: DIVISION 1. No change at the top. Franco Belgas Justin was given a close match by El Mirador, finally emerging winners by 5-3. Los Bandidos remain in second place with a match in hand. The Pumas move into third place with a convincing 6-2 win over the Falcons. Franco Belgas Lucky won at home to Los Altos Diablos, which moved them away from the relegation area. Division 2. Lakeside Lions, won away to the Pirates by 8-0, which put them into first place. Peacocks Red won at home to El Rancho by 5-3, keeping them in second place. Lakeside Hellcats, defeated Los Altos Dragons by 6-2, this kept Los Altos as joint second and the Hellcats in 4th place with a match in hand. Division3: New leaders are Guardamar who proved too strong for Peacocks Allsorts winning 8-0. Swedish team Blagul is in second place, winning 5-3 away to Laguna Rosa. Amigas Belgas remain in third place with a match in hand. EL MIRADOR MOVE due to the Mirador closing, the club have moved to Las Filipinas Social Centre in Blue Lagoon. LAGUNA Rosa, They play a Bottle Melee every Sunday at 2 pm this is open to all-comers we play 3 games timed. EL RANCHO Are inviting new players old or new they are in Montesinos. Roger Seymour

that the Portugueser responded in the only way he knows how to being given a suspended jail sentence earlier that day. I mean, what were the actual chances of that court ruling happening a mere matter of hours before kick-off? To score a hat-trick, including his first free-kick on target in years, was a little bit special. VAR: Yes, I do have this on the right section of this list. I will say this loud and I will say it proud. I LIKE VAR! So far it has seen several decisions end up going the right way. Yes, it also made a mess of the France penalty against Australia (nobody can convince me that was a clear and obvious error so therefore worthy of being reversed) and it probably should have given Messi a second chance from the spot against Iceland, but nobody actually wanted Iceland to lose, did they? We also need some kind of FIFA directive as to what it is meant to be called. Gary Lineker is going VARRRR yet almost everyone else is going V-A-R. I don’t often disagree with Gary, but... Javier Hernandez, Rafa Marquez and Mexico: Rio Ferdinand nailed it before the game. “You’ve scored goals at Manchester United and gone to Real Madrid and scored goals. And then you are on the bench at West Ham? Yeah, he is upset!” The Little Pea made David Moyes look a bit daft (again) by putting on the kind of performance that made it possible for Mexico to shock Germany 1-0. And then, to cap it off, they brought on the ancient Rafa Marquez for the last

ten minutes to become the first man to captain a team in five different World Cups. That’s quite a lot. The Bad Spain: OK, maybe not all of Spain but certainly their Federation President Luis Rubiales who put his ego and his madeup belief that things in football should be done the right way to harpoon Spain’s chances of winning the tournament 48 hours before kick-off. OK, OK maybe Real Madrid were flexing their muscles but if the players are prepared to accept the fact that Julen Lopetegui had his next gig lined up then so should their president. David de Gea: “He doesn’t make many mistakes like that!” proclaimed the socalled experts. Hang on a minute, he dropped a clanger in a warm-up match and one in the battering of Argentina a couple of months ago. That’s three for Spain in recent memory, so maybe he isn’t the “best goalkeeper in the world” after all? Still, he made Loris Karius feel better about his lot in life. Mark Lawrenson: How on earth is he still getting taken to these tournaments? I presume he isn’t doing them for free or out of the goodness of his heart. So is it completely outlandish to ask that maybe Lawro at least pretends that he likes football? The France right-back? Not for Lawro, clearly. Pogba? Well, in Lawro’s eyes he is no Graeme Souness. VAR? You can guess what he feels about that. Life? No, not a fan of that. His lead commentator? You cannot hide the disdain in Mark’s

voice for whoever he is couped up with. Still, he’s not as bad as Martin Keown. The Curse of the Holder: Argentina 1990. France 2002. Italy 2010. Spain 2014. And now, Germany 2018. Did anyone really think that Germany’s poor form in the warm-up match would carry into the actual tournament? Not at all. But let us not get too excited. They will probably still win it. The Ugly ITV: Oh, hello ITV. You do realise that it is summer time, right? Not December? Oh, you do? So what on earth is that World Cup music about then? Swan Lake is hardly the sound of summer at the best of time, but if you add in a few sleigh bells you are practically waiting for Rudolph to ballet his way on to the screen. And the set for their studio? Roy Keane has never been much of an elf but he is certainly looking like he is working in Santa’s Grotto for the next few weeks.

any good at football. But Putin’s speech? That lasted longer than the Russian number nine. And as for Robbie Williams, I’d love to know how he landed that gig. My guess is that the Russians forgot they had to organise an opening ceremony and Gary Barlow wasn’t available. Still, many expected there to be 11 idiots dressed in red for 90 minutes. Instead, they just got one from Stoke for 10. Flicking the V: If you missed it, Robbie Williams actually thought it was 1997 and flicking the V at the camera was something that would endear him to the Gallagher brothers. The problem is, that act is highly illegal in Russia and there is talk that Robbie might end up with a criminal record. And no, we are not talking about a re-release of Angels. Neymar’s hair: I don’t care how much he gets paid, he needs to reinvest some of that into some fashion advice.

Full Kit Wearers: It is bad enough seeing grown adults out and about in the real world wearing a full kit. But, to see actual VAR officials in a studio 300km away from where the match is taking place actually wearing a full kit, well that is just wrong. The Opening Ceremony: Never, ever have I been so happy to hear the Saudi national anthem. Granted, if the opening ceremony was too good then there was always the chance that it would overshadow the fact that neither Russia or Saudi Arabia were meant to be

Ruby’s Golf Society Medals in the Masters Our now annual pilgrimage to Valle Del Este took place during the last week in May and as usual the trip was terrific value, great camaraderie, and good fun for all of the 42 of us that made the journey. Day one is always a bit of a rush, with booking in etc, but we all managed to assemble on the tee for an afternoon Texas scramble which was good fun and also a good introduction to the members that had not played there before. The winning team for this competition was Robert Scott, Bill Malcolm, Michelle Evans and Dave Shelton with 59.8 points which was a good score. Day two, 16 players (gluttons for punishment) went off to Marina Golf at Mojacar to play a different course, this stapleford competition was won by Dave

Wright. Day three, 28 players played for the Valle Del Este trophy which this year was won by Steve Craven on countback. The non golfers in our group also had a great time around the pool, visiting places of interest and shopping of course ! The purchase of the weekend was made by Mal George who bought a six foot raffia cactus, promptly named it Manuel and carried it around for the rest of the day, much to every ones amusement, in the evening we had a pairs putting competition which was won by Barry and Karen Wingate. The weekend culminated with our final night fancy dress party, the theme of which this year was "Jungle" (see photo) All in all another great friendly weekend, great companionship, great golf and of course a little bit of drinking.

Spanish National Open Water Championships 2018

This weekend Sevilla and the Swimming Federation of Andalucia hosted the 21st Spanish National Open Water Championships 2018. This three day event 15th - 17th June took place at the “CAR Isla de La Cartunja” in the Guadalquivir river.

Local swimmers from Alicante, Petrer, Murcia, Elche and Torre Pacheco participated in the Masters 3km event. Due to the large number of participants, and in the rising heat of the day, Master swimmers started their races in 9 separate 10 minute intervals. With over 50 swimmers in each start. The

course of 3km took a route between bridges over the river and was marked with large white buoys. Professionally overseen by officials from the Spanish Swimming Federation monitoring competitors by boats around the course swimmers finished the circuit at the electronic timing board at the start pontoon. Results out local swimmers Beth Altabas and Vicki Connolly won medals in their events. Beth gold medal in the Female 70+ category with a time of 1:04:25 and Vicki bronze in the Female 50-54 category with a time of 51:54. Other local swimmers also had good swims and all are looking forward to the rest of the Open Water season.

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

Seven days ago Scotland could hold their heads high as a sporting nation that finally meant something once again following years and years of total and utter misery. I even know Scots who claimed ‘beating England at cricket makes up for us not being in the football World Cup!’ And, they really, really meant it. So, back over to you Scotland. If you lap up the highs you need to take the lows when they inevitable reappear, right? The USA won their first ever rugby match against a country that actually play rugby. Yes, the USA beat Scotland 30-29! At rugby! Not American Football, rugby! From what I hear, the Yanks were delighted to score some touchdowns and are just

about getting their heads around the fact they cannot have timeouts but seem to understand the game well enough now to beat Scotland. Scotland were not the only nation to lose a rugby match over the weekend as England Head Coach Eddie Jones called his side’s defeat to South Africa “like watching a horror show”. Again, Eddie? Hasn’t the recent run been like a horror movie franchise? I don’t care how many times you call me mate and tell me that England are in the best possible place for the World Cup next year. I’d like us to try the shocking concept of winning some matches between now and then. Credit to South Africa though, they earned it. England smashed Australia at cricket once again, scoring a

record 342 including a stunning 120 from Jason Roy. Rain massively affected the match and Australia would have chased it down had any of their batsmen been able to do a mere fraction of what Shaun Marsh managed, an epic 131. Incredibly, for fans of weird and wonderful cricketing stats, it was the first time ever in an ODI that there were five consecutive 50 partnerships. Sir Andrew Murray has made a very, very late call to play Queens in an attempt to be fit for Wimbledon. He faces firebrand Australian Nick Kyrgios which is far from a lovely return. It’s Murray’s first game since losing to Sam Querrey in five at Wimbledon last summer. Worryingly, his comeback could only last one match and, personally, I believe retirement might be just around the corner for the tennis Knight.

GRAN ALACANT OLDIES WALKING FOOTBALL On Tuesday 12th June our second away game resulted in a 21 defeat at San Fulgencio. It was a very very hot day and we took a good turnout of 12 players for the 8 a side game. We thank Doug for organising this fixture and he was kept busy changing players on and off the pitch, with some lads wilting in the hot sun. We were well looked after at the local bar after the game, and a second fixture will take place nearer the autumn. Our sponsored shirts looked

good at both games, thanks to Gran Alacant Properties, GA Homefinders, Gran Alacant Advertiser magazine, Hispania, and La Paletta Restaurant. We cannot play home games on Gran Alacant as we have no astro turf pitches. There are 11 in Santa Pola so will have to use one of them for home fixtures. In our normal Thursday session, two days after this game, we had to cancel as it was a very very hot afternoon Not good for old guys running around. We play every Thursday afternoon at the Gran

Alacant Sports Centre. For the next couple of months we will be able to use the inside pitch as nobody else has booked it. We can then continue playing, out of the summer sun. Our ages range in the 60s and 70s with a few in their 50s. There is no running, no tackling and no physical contact. Come and join us. Ability means nothing. We are nearing 40 weekly sessions since last August. If you would like any further information, please email Barry on laneinspain@hotmail.com

Rojales Netball Club Rojales Netball Club took part in the Netball 7s Tournament on La Manga Club last weekend. The event was attended by 40+ teams from the UK. Rojales' first game was against really tough opposition who never really allowed them to get in to the game. It meant Rojales needed to step up in the next one and they worked tirelessly to come away with a 4-4 draw. By the time Rojales went into

their last game in their group they were well in to their stride and earned a well deserved 7-4 win. It was on to the knockout stage next. It was a fast paced game with the centre court of Ange, Roni, Zara/Donna moving the ball up towards the shooting partnership of Millie and Wendy. At the other end of the court Claire and Louise put on a great defensive display. Rojales came away winners and the quarter

finals beckoned. The quarters turned out to be Rojales last game as they lost and were therefore knocked out of the tournament. Their overall performance throughout was to be commended though, especially as these UK teams are playing competitively 2/3 times a week. The day ended with a presentation dinner and then the party commenced...

RODS & REELS

The 4th round of the Summer Series was fished at the Embalsa de Argos on the 12th June; this is the first of a two day festival between Abbey and Rods & Reels. The water is a foot above the winter levels due to the recent heavy thunderstorms, the pegs on the warm side are getting unfishable as no work has bean done to clear them. This is brilliant water as results will show, the match was a walk off and not pegged out, so there was no one moaning about their peg Bill Reade taking the top spot with an excellent weight of 47kgs, this just breaks the 100lb mark, then a big drop to second place was Richard Wood with 23.980kgs and coming in third was Lennie Bolton with 23.060kgs 1st Bill Reade with 47.000kgs fishing the pole using paste 2nd Richard Wood with 23.980kgs fishing the pole and feeder using paste and pellet 3rd Lennie Bolton with 23.060kgs fishing the pole using paste There are still some vacancies available for membership at the club All details are available on our new website abbeyangling.es or from me on 965328368

Our 9th round of the Spring Championship was also fished at the Embalsa de Argos, for the 2nd day of the festival between the two clubs on the 13th June. This match was pegged on the cold side and once again it was a glorious day, almost everyone opted to fish the paste, and this seems to be the in bait at the moment. First on the day was myself with 51.400kgs and this weight is equivalent to 1 cwt of fish, in second spot was Bill Reade with 37.600kgs and coming in third was Lennie with 35.250kgs 1st Terry Screen with 51.400kgs 2nd Bill Reade with 37.600kgs 3rd Lennie Bolton with 35.250kgs All fishing the pole using paste There are still some vacancies at the Club and if anyone is interested in joining please contact Richard Wood on 611451423 Last Saturday the 9th June an open match was again fished at the El Bosquet Complex, and was well attended with over 20 anglers taking part. FIRST Dave Hutchinson with 23.850kgs SECOND Alan Smith with 17.650kgs THIRD Terry Screen with 13.850kgs It was an enjoyable match and Keith Hirst will hopefully be arranging another match in due course
