Maximum alert for forest fires The Ministry of Agriculture, Environment, Climate Change and Rural Development has raised the risk alert for forest fires in the Alicante region to ‘maximum’. A Ministry spokesperson advised extreme caution for those in mountain areas as we experience high temperatures this week throughout the region. Throughout the weekend, residents experienced a surge of warm air, and coupled with high temperatures and relatively low humidity, the risk of forest fires is at an all time high. The forecast for the next few days indicates that temperatures, even at night, will remain in the mid twenties and above. PREVENTION Authorities are urging residents to help avoid forest fires by applying common sense before carrying out any activity that could risk triggering a potential forest fire. A local government spokesperson said,“Fires not only affect vegetation and wildlife, but also endanger both the property and the lives of those affected and those who must defend those properties and extinguish fires.”

At the moment, Alert Level 3, has been activated – meaning that all previously issued authorisations for fires are invalid. The Ministry also wishes to remind residents never to discard lit matches or cigarette butts, never light a fire in or near a forest area, never throw litter – especially glass bottles which can, magnify heat and ignite dry tinder, causing fire to start. The burning of crop margins, agricultural waste or forestry is prohibited at this time in general. In exceptional cases, consult the local municipalities or environmental agents who will be able to tell you how best to proceed and if/when fire authorisations will be reissued for your area. When driving on forest land, do not stop the vehicle on dry vegetation – the advice from the local government is to leave your vehicle in areas devoid of vegetation, as a hot exhaust pipe can ignite grass. For cereal-producing farmers, the government is urging extreme caution, given that we are in the harvest season. Fires can occur from machine sparks and the dust generated in processing is highly flammable.

Local beekeepers are also encouraged to exercise caution when using a smoker. Companies working in a forest environment should remember that must comply with the provisions of Decree 7/2004 that regulates the measures to be taken in these cases. If you own a house or farm near forest land, extreme caution should be exercised. For example, keep the roof free of dead leaves or litter, and do not discard the remains of chimneys, stoves or paella/ barbecue on or near dry vegetation. If you have no choice but to use generators, motors, electrical or motorised equipment, welding equipment, etc., includ-ing those controlled by remote control, you must ask for a specific permit if this machinery is used in or near Forest land. While we remain on high alert in this area, security and environmental personnel, forestry observatories and prevention units are keeping each other informed and remain alert for possible fire outbreak.

PORTUGAL Meanwhile, the death toll from the forest fire which ravaged parts of Portugal at the weekend has risen to 72. Of those who perished in the fires, which swept through central Portugal, many of them died while still in their cars as flames swept over a road. The Prime Minister of Portugal has described the fires as “the biggest tragedy” the country has experienced in years. The country has declared three days of national mourning for the victims in the blaze, “which has caused an irreparable loss of human life”, according to a government statement. A lightning strike is believed to have sparked the blaze in the Pedrogao Grande area after investigators found a tree that was hit during a “dry thunderstorm”, the head of the national judicial police told Portuguese media. Dry thunderstorms are frequent when falling water evaporates before reaching the ground because of high temperatures. Portugal, like most southern European countries, is prone to forest fires in the dry summer months.

BITE SIZE Annette English awarded British Empire Medal NEWS: A court has ordered the town hall to pay €10,500 to a driver whose car was crushed by a falling palm tree on 16th August 2014. The accident happened whilst he was driving down the Paseo Vista Alegre and the palm tree, located in the middle of the road, fell onto the roof of the vehicle. Half of the damages will go towards the repair of the vehicle and the other half to the driver for the injuries he sustained which led to him being unable to work for a period of time. The town hall had argued that the accident was not their responsibility. However, the court ruled otherwise. The payment can largely be recouped from insurance that covers the townhall for this kind of claim.

Restaurant La Finca Vuelta was the setting for the Elche Children's Care Home Annual Summer Gala Ball on Saturday. It was a magical evening where guests were wined and dined al-fresco beside the pool whilst being serenaded and entertained

Gay pride from 22nd to 24th June Councillor for culture, Domingo Pérez, announced that Gay Pride would take place from 22nd to 24th June in Torrevieja. He also pointed out during the press conference that days such as this should not need to be held at all, once the normalisation of being gay has been absorbed into society. The same applies to other ‘days’ that are held to raise awareness of specific topics. In the meantime, events will begin on Thursday 22nd June in the Palacio de la Música with free entry to see the short film ‘Por un beso’. On Friday 23rd Zoo Cabaret will perform the show ‘Proud’ at

There was also an auction with prizes provided by local business. The highlight of the night, however, was when it was announced that Annette English, (pictured with her husband) volunteer fund raiser and co-founder of the ECCH has been named in the Queen's

BITE SIZE Emergency response NEWS: to fire in Torrevieja Continued from page 3 9pm in the Paseo de Vista Alegre. This is billed as being fun and ‘risky’. The Gay Pride manifesto will be read on Saturday 24th, also on the Paseo Vista Alegre. It will be read by José Ignacio Galán who last year read it out n Madrid. Events will conclude on the 24th June with a party led by DJ Kevin Edwards and his show ‘Wild’. It includes a multi-coloured event known as ‘holi’. Councillor Pérez has invited all the town’s people to take part.

A fire in a property on Calle Caballero de Rodas on Sunday 18th June led to a number of emergency vehicles being called out. Concern was raised that the smoke from the property could also be detrimental to neighbouring properties and their owners. The fire was declared at 7.45pm in the centre of the town and is believed to have started in an oven in the kitchen. The tenant of the house, according to witnesses, tried to smother the flames with a woollen garment but this in fact

Life saving on the beaches The councillor for beaches in Torrevieja, Javier Manzanares, informed the town that on the 15th June the life guard and first aid service would be installed on the town’s beaches. The areas where this service is available include La Mata, Los Locos, El Cura and Los Náufragos. The service available from the 15th to the 30th June and from the 1st to the 15th September is considered to be medium season with 27 people being posted. In the high season, from 1st July to the 31st August, the service will also extend to Cabo Cervera, cala Piteras and the pools around paseo maritime Juan Aparicio. Altogether there will be 51 lifeguards available around this time. Councillor Manzanares reminded everyone that the service also includes support for disabled people on Los Locos beaches, in paseo Juan Aparicio and Los Náufragos from the 1st July until the 31st August from 11am until 7pm.

More plans for building blocked Torrevieja town council is blocking a plan for more building at Punta Prima. The proposed plan is for building flats on the front line by the sea. These would be ten stories high and take up 20,000 square metres of land. The local town council have frozen the project that has been put forward by a building contractor until they have conducted an archaeological study of the area. Currently, there is an air raid shelter dating back to the Spanish Civil War that occupies the land and the council want to ensure that this is preserved. The town hall also wants to clarify the situation in relation to the kiosk and chiringuito (beach bar) which already inhabit the site and could be located there without the proper licences and authorisation. Councillor Fanny Serrano explained yesterday that the plan was on the table for the building to take place but are frozen until the status of the shelter and chiringuito are properly established. Councillor Serrano has made contact with Orihuela town hall as the project Continued on page 6

fanned the flames and helped them spread. A police patrol had been the first on the scene and had managed to extinguish the flames with a fire extinguisher but the smoke was so intense and spread into the stairs, causing alarm amongst neighbours. Many people were out on their balconies at the time to watch the passing of the Corpus Christi procession which was just 150 metres away from the scene of the fire. One of the families living above the fire with their children had to be evacuated. In attendance were two fire engines from the fire station in Torrevieja, the Guardia Civil patrol cars and the local

police. An ambulance attended to the elderly owner of the property who had not inhaled much of the smoke but was suffering from shock. She had been preparing the evening meal when, for reasons unknown, the oven had begin to burn and the flames spread to other parts of the kitchen. Although the fire engines were hardly required at the scene, the fire station had to close whilst they were out due to lack of personnel. This happens everytime there is a call out, something that happens frequently, particularly during the summer season when there are triple the number of inhabitants in the town. This wasn’t the only call out for the fire engines in Torrevieja this evening. They were also called out to a fire at 1.28 pm to land near the Pedrera lake between Torremendo and San Miguel de Salinas. The fire spread across 4,000 square metres of ground burning scrub and some trees and was eventually extinguished two hours later. Two fire engines attended the scene along with a forestry brigade from Guardamar del Segura. The second fire was a mattress in Villamartin, Orihuela Costa and firemen from Torrevieja were called out to this. The third callout was to a fire in a skip in Calle Gumersindo in Torrevieja. This time the fire engine came from Elche. At this time of year, with high temperatures and dry conditions it is particularly important to take care with electrical appliances, barbecues and when discarding cigarettes. Suzanne O’Connell

Samaritans’Summer Fayre The Samaritans in Spain’s annual summer fayre and fashion show took place on Saturday 17th June at the Punta Marina Commercial Centre.

hand books, bric-a-brac, clothing and shoes. The day was an opportunity to raise money for this very worthwhile cause whose 24 hour free phone line can be a lifesaver for those desperately needing someone to talk to. The listening service is available for

SUMA are the tax collection agency that operates in parts of Alicante Province and across all of Torrevieja. They are responsible for the collection of road and property tax (IBI) and have offices around the town. They are now to take over the collection of Plusvalia tax (payable on the increase in land value when you sell a property) and vados (parking and access permits and prohibitions). Changes to arrangements were announced by the councillor for finance, José Hurtado. The new arrangements take immediate effect and have been agreed by the Valencian government. Although SUMA will be responsible for the collection of fees relating to vados, applications for these will still need to go to the town hall. Allowing SUMA to manage these payments will free up time in the town hall’s financial departments to clear other requests.

La Mata market The discussions continue to find a new location for La Mata’s weekly market. The town hall has now received advice from technicians and will meet with representatives to discuss the next steps for the market. There needs to be easy access for cleaning vehicles and to allow for the day-to-day operation of the market without it impacting on other public services. There are several possibilities which will now be discussed with those affected. The current location is not suitable due to its position over the canal and the instability of some of the access areas. Suzanne O’Connell

Blue flags collected On Monday 12th June the councillor for beaches, Javier Manzanares, collected the blue flags awarded to Torrevieja’s beaches in Altea. The prestigious flags have been awarded to Torrelamata Sur, Los Locos, el Cura, Los Náufragos and Cala Pitera.

Councillor Manzanares collects the flags

Officials have been particularly pleased to still be awarded the flags after the stormy weather that there has been this winter and spring. Waves, flooding and wind displaced a lot of sand and destroyed sections of walkways and walls.

The devastation led to a massive clean up campaign and now there is satisfaction that these beaches were still judged to meet the increasingly stringent requirements of the awarding body. Suzanne O’Connell

At least 2,600 additional officers will be on the beat in the Balearics and Canary Islands, Valencia, Andalucía, Madrid, Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia. Although the Canary Islands' peak season is October to May, reinforcements will be brought in to cover officers' summer holidays. Police from the UK, France, Italy, The Netherlands and Romania will spend the summer in Spain to be able to assist tourists in their own languages.

San Juan in Torrevieja This time every year Spain celebrates midsummer, or St. John’s day (San Juan), by adding to the summer heat with a few bonfires. It is traditional as part of this festival in many neighbourhoods to set off fireworks and set alight effigies that have been built specially for the occasion. If you then go down to the beaches you will see bonfires dotted around and groups of people of all ages.

The different parts of the town organise their own events in Torrevieja and you should look out for the one nearest to you. This year in Barrio Molinos El Calvario the events include: 20th June activities for children including a ‘parchís’ board game competition and a disco from 9.30pm 21st June prize raffle 22nd June games for children including a children’s raffle, and junior disco from 9.30pm 23rd June mechanical bull (5.30pm), dance performance by Payas, disco from 9.30pm and ‘Drag Emperio’ at 10.30pm

The celebrations continue all week from the 18th June to the 24th with the final days being the crowning glory of this energetic and spirited occasion. In one neighbourhood in Torrevieja this year, there is an additional twist. It will be the 25th year that the bonfires, or hogueras, will be lit in the Barrio Molinos El Calvario. Each year the celebrations in Torrevieja seem to increase. However, it is still Alicante that has one of the greatest reputations for celebrating this time of year. Well-known for its San Juan festivities, Alicante goes the extra mile and is almost as well-known as Valencia for the Ninots (large effigies) which are set alight during the final event of la cremà. However, if you prefer to stay closer to home, then Torrevieja has quite enough entertainment planned to satisfy the most ardent summer solstice reveller.

24th June 8am – morning call with la Sociedad Musical Ciudad de Torrevieja and ‘Los Salerosos’ 2pm – giant paella for €2 6pm – event on behalf of AFE Cancer Torrevieja with ‘personalities’ from Star Wars 10.30pm prize raffle and mobile disco RAFAEL 1am – la cremà – lighting of the children’s effigy followed by the adults’ However, for the real spirit of the festival it is worth stopping by one of the beaches late into the evening and early morning.

Investigation into corruption of a minor in Torrevieja

Pink Ladies annual walk 2017

A 52 year-old Portuguese man from Torrevieja has been detained accused of sexual crimes against children. This includes child pornography and involves two boys of 12 and 13 years old. The mother is also being investigated for neglect because she left them in the street whilst she went into a local gambling establishment that they could not enter. The story begins with a denuncia made by someone who had lent the man a tablet that he didn’t return. The man was homeless and had made a temporary home for himself in the entrance to a bank that was no longer in use. This temporary shelter was on one of Torrevieja’s main high streets, Maria Parodi. The tablet was not returned, leaving the man who had loaned it to make a denuncia at the police station. He also informed the Guardia Civil that he had seen the homeless

After last year's record fundraising for the pink ladies annual walk, staff and customers of The Queen Victoria Bar in Cabo Roig this year came together to attempt to raise even more. Several of the customers were walking in memory of Graham Grant and Colin Bowden, whilst landlady Sue Court was walking in support of close friend Lynda Phillips who is currently battling the disease. The response was incredible - the final amount raised was a staggering €2725.70. Karl and Sue said "We cannot praise our customers enough for their dedication to this annual event. Also we wish to thank all those who kindly donated to the cause including customers in local bars who donated to our bucket collection.”

man showing inappropriate videos to a 12 year old boy whilst also touching himself. The boy involved were tracked down and questioned along with his older brother. It is alleged that on three occasions the man had shown him videos of a paedophile nature containing homosexual acts whilst the man masturbated. It is also claimed that the man had offered 10 euros to the boys’13 year old brother to perform oral sex. The boys had been left outside the gaming establishment whilst the mother was inside. The man is now in prison whilst the electronic items, one mobile and three tablets, are being examined further. Since the arrest, the owner of the premises where the homeless man had taken refuge has installed a metal shutter in order to prevent other people from using it as a shelter. Suzanne O’Connell

San Luis residents’meeting continues Residents of San Luis and La Siesta are delighted to announce that their monthly residents’ meetings will continue. There had been some doubt as to the meetings’ continuation due to the current president needing to return to the UK. For a while it looked as though no one would be prepared to step into her shoes and continue the group which had been running for 17 years. Fortunately, at the last minute, David Blackie, a local resident, came forward and offered to chair the next meeting. This will take place on Monday 26th June at 4.30pm in Casa Ventura, San Luis.

It will be the last meeting before the summer but David would very much like to welcome residents not only of San Luis but also of La Siesta and El Chapparal. The group, also known as the neighbourhood watch, has been an active organisation who have welcomed to each meeting at least one representative from the town hall. This is an important opportunity to ask any questions and to help find solutions to local problems. It is good news to hear that it can continue. Suzanne O’Connell

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE From an economic point of view it was a quiet week for the euro. Industrial production in the euro zone was up by 1.4% on the year and 1.5% more people had jobs. April's trade surplus was smaller than forecast. On the political front the picture was mostly positive: The party of Emanuel Macron, France's new president, put in a good showing in the first round of voting for the legislature and the European Council approved the latest round of Greece's bailout finance. Following its post-election trashing sterling did reasonably well, strengthening by two thirds of a cent on the week. It was not easy going but the Bank of England did its bit to help. The Monetary Policy Committee kept Bank Rate unchanged at 0.25%

but three of the eight members voted for an increase. That came as a surprise to investors and they marked up the pound. The only two US ecostats that really mattered were retail sales and the consumer price index and neither of them looked very good from the dollar's point of view. Sales were down by a monthly -0.3% and inflation slowed from 2.2% to 1.9%. Still, neither of them deterred the Federal Reserve from delivering the promised quarter-percentagepoint interest rate increase. The dollar went up by two thirds of a cent against the euro and it was unchanged against the British pound, which did fairly well following the beating it took in the immediate aftermath of the general election.

Torrevieja’s third triathlon On Sunday 18th June the third triathlon was held in Torrevieja. 520 participants signed up to take part in what has become a significant event for the town over the last three years. The competition comprises of running, swimming and cycling. Participants must run for 11km, swim 1,500 metres and cycle 37 km. It is believed that altogether around 1,700 people visit the town to either take part in or watch the event. The race is based around the port area with swimming

taking place in the Marina Salinas, the run on the Dique de Levante and the cycling around the Paseo de Vista Alegre, Gregorio Marañon and Desiderio Rodriguez. Local children and members of Las Culturas scouts group were there to help competitors and hand out drinks. For those reaching the finish line there was a selection of fruit, ham, dried fruit and drinks available, served out by volunteers. The winners of the male sprint race were Angel Moratalla (1), Luis Santos (2)

and Andres Penalva (3). The female champion was Monica Sansano. Unfortunately there were also some casualties during the day. Paloma Nogales suffered an ankle sprain during the competition and had to withdraw. It was a hot day, reaching 25 degrees even in the water, but the general consensus seemed to be that it was a wellorganised event and one that could be enjoyed by spectators as well as those able to take part.

Restoration of the pedestrian bridge on Playa de la Glea The city councillor for beaches of the city of Orihuela, Luisa Boné, reported this week about work taking place on the footbridge of Playa de la Glea. The city councillor explained, that due to the strong storms of last December and January in Orihuela Costa and the damage caused by the torrential rainfall and the strong waves, the department has prepared an expert report regarding the damage and due to this assessment has begun to repair the foundation of the pedestrian bridge. The work essentially consists of supporting the foundation of the pedestrian bridge and restoring of the

flood-protection wall which had collapsed on Playa de la Glea. The city councillor for the beaches said that she would have liked to start this work sooner, since we are already in the high season, but because this walkway is located in a public area of the public maritime area, permission was required from the provincial coast authorities to be able to start this work and this approval we have received recently. These works cost €35,991.74 (including VAT) and are expected to be completed in a few weeks.

DOG HANDLERS AWARDS On June 9th two police officers from the GRO special police force in Torrevieja, were awarded their accreditation as dog handlers. The awards were presented by the director of the Agencia Valenciana de Seguridad de Respuesta y Emergencias, José María Angel Batalla. It means these dog handlers have specialism in working with dogs trained to sniff out drugs. Altogether there were 37 local police officers from across the Valencian community who were awarded their

diploma. In order to receive this certificate they had to have completed a course of more than 150 hours, 40 of which were theory and 110 practical. The officers worked during the course with their respective dogs, Athos and Eko. The role of the police officers is to help in the prevention of drug use and the trafficking of drugs. Before the awards were presented, there were a series of exhibitions carried out showing how the dogs are able to detect narcotic

substances. The dogs and their handlers demonstrated the knowledge they had acquired during the course. The mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón, congratulated the officers for the efforts they had made and expressed his satisfaction that the GRO and the dog unit will soon have a base of their own in the Alto de la Casilla building. It is also expected that a dog unit will be established as part of the Local Police. Suzanne O’Connell

Seagate Wealth Management

I want to invest but am worried it's a bit like gambling How do I know I won't lose all my money?

hen interest rates were higher, many people were happy putting their savings away in savings accounts, to quietly grow in readiness for a rainy day, or that big purchase. But as we close in on a decade of low rates, with no sign that anything will change sometime soon, millions of people are looking for alternatives. However, for anyone who has not invested before, it can be an adjustment. When your money’s in a savings account, you know exactly how much you’ve got, and do not have to worry that you’ll check your balance one day and find you have less. However, in a sense there is a hidden danger with keeping money in cash at the moment. If it is sitting in a standard savings account, your money is unlikely to buy as much next year as it would buy this. Meanwhile, there are ways of investing that make it much safer than gambling could ever be. It is true that there is no guarantee that when you invest money its value will not fall. But when gambling, the odds are stacked against you: the house tends to win and all of your money can be wiped out in a minute. This is not the same when investing. The odds are stacked in your favour – in general markets tend to rise over time. It is hard to wipe out all of your money at once if you invest wisely, because good investing behaviour involves putting money in a range of things, which are very unlikely to all rise and fall in tandem. A sensible investor uses diversification to mean that they don't put all their eggs in one basket. You shouldn’t be investing all your money. You should have an amount of money still sitting in cash, which is easily available, to cover the unexpected.

As we near the end of June it is time to make sure that all the spring jobs are completed in the garden This includes trimming the hedges/shrubs whether they are: OLEANDER (Nerium oleander) This is found throughout the world and is one of the most poisonous plants you can find in any garden. The flowers are white or pink, although they can grow to a reddish colour. They are very pretty with 5 petal blossoms. POMEGRANATE (Punica granatum) Again this is found throughout the world now of late, whereas it originated from the eastern Mediterranean. The flowers are bright red with 4-5 petals. HIBISCUS (Malvaceae) Popular once again around the world this shrub has beautiful trumpet shaped flowers that come in many different colours. The main colours are: - white, yellow, orange, pink, red and purple. They have five or more petals. HONEYSUCKLE (Caprifoliaceae) These smell wonderful and you can suck the nectar out of the centre of the flower. They are mainly found in the Northern Hemisphere. They come in a mixture of colours, tending to be of

two colours on each blossom. The most popular colours are orange/red, white/pink and pink/purple. They tend to either be twine/creeper types or shrubs. CALLISTEMON (Myrtaceae) commonly known as Bottlebrush These originate from Australia but of course are now here in our own gardens. Many are drought resistant so suit our

climate well. They have mainly red flowers in the shape of a bottlebrush, hence their nickname, but can also come in yellow, green, orange or white. Finish planting seeds/seedlings of plants/herbs/vegetables (carrot-

celery-parsley) so that they can be firmly rooted in the ground before the heat of the summer. Now is also a good time to complete the planting of annuals like corn, wheat, rice, lettuce, peas, watermelon, beans, zinnia and marigold. With living on the Costaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many plants can go seed to seed in a very short space of time due to lack of water, so that they can survive in most conditions. Check your fruit trees are free of infection and start to increase watering for all plants, as the weather gets hotter. The early morning and late afternoon are best times as the sun is not around to dry or burn the plants. Have you got a lawn? If so and you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already, the weeds need to be taken out and the mower too. Any loose stones or pebbles should be removed before using the mower as they can not only fling back at you but also wreck the blades. Hopefully these will have been sharpened along with the other tools last week or the week before. That is it for now. Enjoy the warmer weather! Marc Vijverberg

WELCOME TO La Palma with Vivalia Travel La Palma is the most north-westerly island of the Canary Islands, Spain. La Palma has an area of 706 km2 making it the fifth largest of the seven main Canary Islands. island in the valley of Los Llanos de Aridane. Other crops include: Strelitzia (bird of paradise) flowers, oranges, avocados and grapes (which grow well in the volcanic soil). The wine from the grapes is prized. Local ranchers herd cows, sheep and goats (from which they make goat cheese). Fisherman operating from Santa Cruz, Tazacorte and Puerto Naos catch fish for the local markets. Water tunnels The most famous structures of La Palma are the minas galerias (water tunnels) which carry the water from sources in the mountains to cities, villages and farms (mainly banana plantations). La Palma receives almost all of its water supply

La Palma is the most north-westerly island of the Canary Islands, Spain. La Palma has an area of 706 km2 making it the fifth largest of the seven main Canary Islands. The total population is about 86,000, of which 18,000 (2003 data) live in the capital, Santa Cruz de la Palma and about 20,000 (2004 data) in Los Llanos de Aridane. Origins and geology La Palma, like the other islands of the Canary Island archipelago, is a volcanic ocean island. The volcano rises almost 7 km (4 mi) above the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. There is road access from sea level to the summit at 2,426 m (7,959 ft). La Palma's geography is a result of the volcanic formation of the island. Climate La Palma has a mild and consistent tropical semi-arid climate, which in the Köppen climate classification is represented as BSh. It has significant influences of the mediterranean climate due to its quite wet winters. For a Canary island, the weather is quite cloudy, as La Palma is far more exposed to marine air systems than easterly islands. Economy The local economy is primarily based on agriculture and tourism. Platanos (or bananas) are grown throughout the island with many banana farms on the western side of the

due to the mar de nubes (sea of clouds), stratocumulus cloud at 1,200 m (3,937 ft)-1,600 m (5,249 ft) altitude, carried on the prevailing wind which blows from the north-east trade winds. The water condenses on the long needles of the trees and other vegetation, it then either drips onto the ground or runs down the trunk etc., into the ground. Eventually it collects inside the rock-strata, and is then drained via the galerias into aqueducts and pipes for distribution. The galerias have been cut into the rocks over centuries. To visit the galerias a permit is required. It is possible to walk alongside many of the aqueducts, a popular activity for tourists (similar to the levadas of Madeira).

Second wine tasting with a difference on offer Due to popular demand a second ‘Wine tasting with a difference’ tour is being offered on 26th July. The first tour sold out within days and with so many people calling to book places a second trip was quickly organised by Begona to avoid disappointment. As part of her desire to help the expat community to discover the real Spain, local Spanish lady Begona Josa del Portillo is offering a range of tailored trips and tours that aim to provide something completely different to those organised by large tour companies. These aim to discover the hidden gems of Spanish heritage and culture, with traditional food and wine weaved in for good measure. For many years Begona has been an integral link between the local Spanish and ex-pat communities offering Spanish language and Spanish cooking lessons. It is the popularity of these courses and the influence of her students that has led to Begona organising tailored trips and tours. Begona has just organised her first vineyard and wine tasting tour of the year to Bodega Florentino Perez in La Mancha and now the second due to popular demand - and they are a day-trips like no other. The second will take place on Wednesday 26th July and is priced at just 22 euros per person. Located in La Finca ‘El Cercao’ and nestled among its 18 hectares of vineyards and surrounded by a totally natural environment, the Bodegas Don Florentino are located between vineyards, with a large garden and outdoor patio in front of the impressive main facade. The bodega celebrates an entire family dedicated to the cultivation of the vine for several generations. The land of Don Quixote offers a unique place to relax and enjoy the best gastronomy of the local country side accompanied by some of the finest

wines of the region. The tour, which Begona hopes to run at least monthly, will begin with a typical Spanish breakfast at the Bodega – bocadillo, jamon, manchego cheese, coffee…and wine! The group will then begin its extensive guided tour of the vineyard and wine producing facilities. The tour will cover all aspects of wine production from the type of grape, how it is grown, nurtured and harvested to the wine making process and storage. The group will then experience an eat-all-youcan traditional five-course lunch of typical Spanish fayre, accompanied by wines of the bodega. There is then the opportunity to visit the official bodega store and buy any of the wines produced. The afternoon will be spent in the picturesque village of Alcala del Jucar, where an official local guide will help the group discover the hidden gems nestled in this beautiful location, including the traditional cave houses. At just 22 euros per person this tour is expected to sell out fast, so speedy booking is advisable; to do so please call Begona on 622 188 772. As always with Begona’s trips and tours several local pick up and drop off points are available for passengers and range from Los Alcazares to Torrevieja. Mireille Toddington

Changes to taxi laws proposed ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL suzanne@costablancapeople.com

It is being proposed that the rules and regulations surrounding taxis in Torrevieja be amended. The councillor for transport, Javier Manzanares, met for the first time with representatives of those affected on the 14th June. The meeting included the councillor, local police, technicians from municipal transport and representatives of the taxi associations. The councillor wishes to change some of the local laws surrounding the town’s taxis. There are 84 taxi licences issued in the town at present. ‘Some amendments will be agreed with the taxi drivers,’ explained the councillor. ‘They have presented several modifications and we are studying them with a view to improving the service and their day-to-day work.’ The current laws are old

Autumn on the Adriatic There can’t be many things more exciting than cruising on the Adriatic. Visiting Ports that are both historical and scenic, there is nothing better than waking up in a different port every day. And each of these ports are more exciting than the last. With coach travel to Madrid

Airport, you fly to Bari (Italy) to meet your Costa Crucero representative who will transport you to your Ship the Deliziosa. On board we receive the “royal treatment” at dinner. From smiling waist coated waiters. Relaxing meals, a bit of musical entertainment in the bar, a show in the theatre, a throw of the dice in the casino, and a good nights sleep, how wonderful to wake in a different port every day. As the 2nd largest town in Southern Italy, Bari contains the bones of St Nicholas (aka Santa Claus) in its Basilica, one of the 1st

Norman churches to be built in this area and its 11th century Romanesque Cathedral is Bari's most important church. A gentle stop to get you in the mood

for the next few days. Next day the famous Greek island of Corfu. A history of constant wars and battles has left a heritage of many castles. A popular spot with the Royals of Europe, but really didn’t join the tourist route until the 20thCentury. Next day the cliffs of Santorini tower over the ship. Transfers from the ship to the mainland using small local boats give us no clue of what is to come. There are 3 ways to go up to the town. You can walk – not really an option on the almost vertical road. You can use the cable car,

take advantage of the facilities onboard the ship and relax ready for the following days visit to Dubrovnik. A fabulously fortified city with strong city walls, charming narrow streets leading to busy

Ok if you are not worried by heights. Or you can take the notorious Santorini Donkey ride, what great fun. Perhaps Donkeys up, cable car down might be about the right option. Whichever way you choose you will be enthralled by this delightful, sparkling whitewashed town, which seems to have come straight out of the film Mama Mia, with views to rival anything shown in the film. Athens is the next stop, whether you want to see the world famous Acropolis or visit old Athens, this is a vibrant city with sights on every corner, why not take advantage of the hop on and off tour bus, with english commentary you can learn the history of this city while enjoying the sights. The following day is a day of rest,

squares. Climbing in to the narrow back streets gives you a fabulous view over thousand of red tiled roofs to the mountains beyond. The following day, leave your cruise liner and take a water taxi to Venice’s world renowned St Marks Square and see the breathtaking St Marks Basilica. Most people can’t afford a G&T here, but the buildings are beautiful, and if you slip

up the side streets, not only will you be able to have that G&T, you will be also rewarded by sights you thought only existed in the movies. Hundreds of sleek Gondolas gliding silently through streets made of water. Romantic little hump back bridges straddle the canals and provide super viewing points. After a busy day in Venice the following day we sail back to Bari, where we will be transported to the airport for our flight home. Another wonderful 8 day, 7 night cruise sailing from Bari (Italy). Costa Cruises have 65 years of sailing history with each ship is designed in its own theme. This is reflected in the decor and atmosphere of the ship. Sailing on the "Deliziosa" this cruise visits the best of the Adriatic. With comfortable travel by coach to Madrid airport included, you will arrive in Bari (Italy). You will then be transferred to your ship ready to sail to Corfu, Santorini, Athens, day at sea, Dubrovnik, Venice and return back to Bari. Our price includes coach travel to Madrid, flights to & from Bari, port taxes, insurance and a fully inclusive drinks package. Cabin prices start at 1265€ for an inside cabin. 25th September - 2nd October. (price does not include 70€ p/p gratuity payable onboard the ship) Cruise available with Davids Coachtrips SL.

She is so put on

I have no future

My daughter married a man who had been married before, and is much older than she. She has become such a dote doing everything but wipe this man’s nose. He has been retired at home for 20 years and does nothing all day. While she still works a full time job, and they have three grownup boys. He is the old fashioned type who expects to be waited on. She is also menopausal and not sleeping. She used to cope with things but lately I can see she is exhausted. I feel like remonstrating with her husband.

My parents brought me to Spain when I was 13. I did not settle well at state school and so they put me in private. I am now 19 and don’t have a good grasp on the language, and don’t mix with the Spanish. My career prospects are nil as I am not qualified for anything but waiting on tables. I want to go to England, and my aunt says I can stay with her, but Mum is against it because she says she’ll never see me.

It wouldn’t hurt for you to ask her if she needs help as you have noticed she isn’t coping so well. She has three lads, and may be they could do more to help around the house. Encourage her to see her GP about her menopausal symptoms. She may have made a rod for her own back with regard to her doting on her husband so much, but this is for her to sort out if she is unhappy about it, so may be try not to interfere. 184 words rock the boat just now.

Your options for a better future are to either go on to further education in Spain, or to look at pastures new. What you mustn’t do is live your life for someone else, because you’ll have regrets in the future. Why not say to your parents, that you will try 12 months in the UK and see how things turn out, and then look to review the situation. Make sure you plan a few trips back to Spain to visit your mum and dad in that time, to keep the peace.

House building “out of control” in Orihuela Costa, say Cambiemos Local political party Cambiemos Orihuela has accused the local council (made up of the PP and C’s political parties) of having no control over the construction activity that is “devouring our coast at a dizzying speed”. They also claimed that some of the property developments being built have been started without first getting the required licence. The Cambiemos councillors said in a statement that they have checked several of the building sites that were granted licences during April and May – some of them comprising more than 50 homes – to find that they were already at an advanced stage, “which proves they were started long before the licence was actually granted”. “This situation is being repeated systematically” because the urban planning department is “overwhelmed” and some of the council workers there “cannot keep up”.

Some of the licences are not even granted in the order they were received without any apparent reason for this, they complained. Cambiemos accused the council of letting chaos rule, and instead of organising the massive and uncontrolled building that had already gone on in Orihuela Costa, “they are deliberately encouraging destructive inertia and speculation that is only benefitting the same old

people”. They said they cannot find out how many projects are being built at the moment or whether they have licences, or what effect all this will have for the inhabitants, who already suffer from deficient services and infrastructures. They demanded that the council take control of the situation and stop “the advancing sea of cement across our coast”.

Whether you’re thinking of selling or are in the process of completing your sale, there’s one thing that most people dread…. Moving! The best way to help with the stress is to be as organised as possible. It’s not too bad if it’s a holiday home, as most times they’re sold fully furnished, but if it’s your permanent residence then like everyone else, you’ve accumulated memories along the way that need to be boxed up and moved with you to your new home. It’s always advisable to start having a sort through what you’ll be wanting to keep, and what you’ll be wanting to donate when your house comes to the market, but I know that this isn’t everyone’s favourite job, and putting it off until you’ve found a buyer seems like a good idea. Notice the word “seems”… If you start early enough and do a little at a time, this will definitely help ease the potential stress of the impending move. But, if time is not on your side and you need to get moving physically and literally, then start by putting post-it notes on items you’re wishing to keep. I’ve used green ones for “go,” red ones for “no” and yellow ones for “maybe.” If you need boxes, instead of buying them, why not go to your local supermarket and ask them for some. They’re always throwing boxes out and will be glad to let you have them for free.

When it comes to boxing up fragile items, wrap them in towels and clothing. This will save you money on bubble wrap and paper. Jewellery can slide everywhere, even in jewellery boxes. By threading necklaces through a straw then closing the clasp will keep them from tangling together. Most importantly with any major move, is to be prepared for your first night in your new home. Keep one box to the side with all of your immediate necessities within easy reach. Put in the box – paper plates, plastic cutlery, paper cups, kitchen towel, toilet paper, soap, dishwashing liquid, bottle of water, oh and don’t forget the paracetamol! At least now you won’t be rummaging around going through every box looking for some soap! In most cases sellers leave their homes in reasonably clean condition, but there’s nothing like having a good clean through yourself in your new home before filling the kitchen cupboards. Unlike in Scandinavia, sellers in Spain are not obligated to have the property professionally cleaned before handing over the keys to the new homeowners, so try to be considerate when leaving your old home for your new one. Packing up in the early morning, or later at night will be easier, as it’s too hot during the day to manage such a demanding job this time of year. You do know the easier alternative is to pay someone to do it for you - whilst you sit back and look forward to the first night in your new home!

London terror victim is Spanish hero Hundreds of relatives, friends and neighbours of Ignacio Echeverría – and many people who never knew him personally – gathered on Sunday at the funeral home holding the remains of a man who has been dubbed a “hero” for standing up to a terrorist at the Borough Market attack in London. His body arrived in Spain on Saturday to an official ceremony led by Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who posthumously awarded Echeverría the Great Cross of Civil Merit for his bravery. Echeverría, 39, died after trying to defend a woman who was being stabbed by one of the three terrorists who drove a vehicle into pedestrians, then attacked passersby with knives on the night of 3rd June. For days following the attack, he was reported only as missing, prompting Spanish authorities to ask UK officials for a speedier identification of victims. The Spaniard had been working for HSBC in London, tracking suspicious financial transactions, including those related to possible terrorist activities. He was buried in Las Rozas, northwest of Madrid, where the family had been living for years after moving from the northeastern Spanish region of Galicia when Echeverría was young.

People came from all over Madrid region to express their condolences and admiration for Echeverría, who took on a terrorist with his skateboard and was stabbed to death himself. “We all of us feel proud of Ignacio Echeverría,” Rajoy tweeted. In Las Rozas, a demonstration in tribute to Ignacio was held, and a street or square is expected to be named after him. The Valencian regional Parliament held a minute's silence, as did the town hall in Comillas (Cantabria), where Ignacio's mother comes from, as well as declaring a day of mourning. In the province of A Coruña, Galicia, the town of As Pontes where Ignacio was born

and lived as a small child held three days of mourning, as well as deciding to name a park after him. The Madrid-region commuter town of Alcorcón will name a square or park after the brave expat, and the opposition in Alicante has proposed dedicating a street to him. Ignacio Echeverría was one of eight people killed in the attack on London Bridge and then in Borough Market, including a 21-year-old au pair from New Zealand, a Frenchman on holiday with his girlfriend, an Australian nurse, and several Brits including a young woman who died in her fiancé's arms. Ignacio's sister Isabel Echeverría, who also lives in London, had spent four days

trying to find her brother in every hospital in the city, but due to over-zealous data protection procedures in Britain, she was not allowed in and staff refused to tell her anything. She and other family members, including her father Joaquín and sister Ana, were finally allowed to view Ignacio's body on Thursday. Spanish foreign affairs sources have now confirmed Ignacio Echeverría, died from a stab wound to his back as two cowardly terrorists attacked him from behind as he tried to help a woman who was being stabbed by the third attacker.

Speculation Initially, speculation was rife that he had been killed by a stray police bullet whilst

fighting one of the terrorists who were shot on site, and that this may have caused the delays in his identification. But it took until late on Thursday night before the names of all eight victims – including one whose body was pulled out of the river Thames – were publicly named.

Ignacio had been passing on his bicycle and carrying his beloved skateboard when he saw one of the terrorists stabbing a woman. He jumped off and went straight for the killer, beating him off with his skateboard, but was attacked from behind by the other two. All three terrorists were shot dead by police, but Ignacio had been fatally stabbed in the interim. The interior ministry says Murcia-born Alejandro Martínez Sánchez suffered injuries to the air-bags in his lungs and, although he has now been discharged from Saint Mary's Hospital in London, it would be too dangerous for him to fly, so he is being taken home to Spain by road. He will be accompanied by the Director-General of the Victim Support Association, Sonia Ramos, who accompanied Ignacio Echeverría in the plane and will now return to London to travel with Alejandro. He is expected to arrive in France tonight, where he will be put up in a hotel before joining Sonia for his onward journey to Spain tomorrow. Sonia has been in constant contact with Alejandro's family since the terror attack, and has visited him in hospital.

Audouin gulls ringed ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL suzanne@costablancapeople.com

Two hundred of this threatened species of gull have been ringed as part of ‘Environmental June’. Councillor Fanny Serrano took part in the procedure of ringing the young birds that have been born in the salt lake area during 2017. Thirty volunteers divided into teams, took part in the process which took just over an hour. In total 200 young birds were ringed with a PVC ring and a metal ring. The PVC version enables the bird to be tracked from a distance with the use of binoculars and telescopes and the metal one is more durable. The procedure was carried out as quickly as possible in order to reduce

any impact on the colony itself. The ringing of the birds is useful for collecting data about the species and their migratory routes. This information can help preserve the breed. They also took blood to study the possibility of there being any disease. This was carried out by a team of vets from the Centro de recuperación Sata Faz de Alicante. They also took some feathers to analise any impact of heavy metals in the birds’ diet. There has been an increase in the colony with numbers growing from 1,700 breeding pairs to 1,900 at present.

The colony has settled in the region of the salt work and the company is involved in helping to protect the birds. Next on the agenda is the ringing of the picofina gulls.

Rojales Fiestas The official book and poster for Rojales’ Patron Saint fiestas has been presented by Councillor Charo López and Town Hall Coordinator Jesús Martínez. The literature shows an image by Marta Ruíz Hernández, who won a competition to design the cover. The fiestas in honour of San Pedro and the Moors and Christians officially start on Sunday 18th June with the firing of a rocket called the Chupinazo in the Plaza de España. The Councillor explained that this is one of the many events they have planned to suit all residents despite differing tastes and ages. This year the Hoguera statue will have the theme of “The aliens are invading us” and it will be burned in a different place to usual, on Avenida Justo Quesada. The traditional bonfire ritual will be preceded by a display of Correfocs, people in demon costumes who throw fireworks. There will also be a bonfire for the Magical Night of La Encanta when people walk up the Cabecico Soler hill, where the spirit of a Moorish princess is supposed to appear every 100 years. The gunpowder battle on the

28th June is also changing location this year to the Malecón del Soto, this is because Martínez explained the noise of the guns has been causing problems for the displays in the museum and the Plaza de España is too small for the increasing number of participants and spectators the event attracts. The municipality will also be participating in a competition to recycle as much glass as possible during the fiestas.

Other big activities include the day of the Patron Saint of Rojales, San Pedro on 29th June and all the Moors and Christians parades between 30th June and 2nd July. You can download a PDF copy of the fiestas book with all the details from the Town Hall website via this link: http://www.rojales.es/wpcontent/uploads/2017/06/Libr o-Fiestas-Rojales-2017.pdf

Craft fair with a nostalgic touch in Chinchilla Travelling along the motorway to Albacete or Madrid, you might have seen the castle that sits on top of a hill on your right just before getting to Albacete, and wondered whether it was worth a visit. Well, it is. And not just the castle - the Old Town of Chinchilla is full of beautiful old buildings, picturesque squares and nice corners. It is certainly interesting when something special is going on, such as a craft market in the style of the beginning of last century. Rather fun in fact, and just a little different from those endless Medieval Markets. Especially because Amata, the regional craft association, will be running it. Here is your chance: on 30 June and 1 and 2 July, some thirty five craft stalls will be set up in the town centre and the people dress up in the clothes they would have worn 100 years ago. Not the toffs, not the upper crust or the top 1%, but ordinary men and women of that period trying to earn a crust. Stalls with the stuff they made themselves nothing from abroad, nothing from the factory, just really lovingly made craft work, made by hand using natural materials. Next to some of the stalls will be a table where the stall owner will be busily at work making the stuff he or she sells - you can watch them at work, ask questions or perhaps get them to personalize one of the pieces. Remember, this is a real craft fair, run by a real craft association. Amata has been organizing craft fairs over the last 20 years and makes sure that everything on sale is hand made by the participants. They use the words Artesanía de Autor® as a guarantee that the author of the products is present. There are workshops for children, a potter will let you turn your own bowl or cup on his wheel and you can even make a sheet of recycled paper. Some crazy musicians will liven up the fair together with a few jugglers and stiltwalkers, while

you walk around or sit down and have a drink in the tavern or at the terrace of a local bar - there is even one that brews its own beer! The Town Hall welcomes all visitors to spend some time in the village and has even created a special area for motor homes, free of charge. There are several B&Bs, some of them with the extra attraction that the bedrooms are in caves! The market is set up in the centre of the town next to and behind the church and opens on Friday, 30th of June, at 6pm; opening times on Saturday 1st and Sunday the 2nd of July are from 11am till 2pm and then again from 6 pm till late. Chinchilla de Montearagón lies next to the Motorway A31, some 10 miles before you come to Albacete. More information about the fair on 639 979 678 (in English) and photographs of other markets organized by Amata you can find at http://www.amata.es/eng_foto.html under“Photographs of Recent Events”.

Drunk and drugged Brit attacks Guardia Civil in their barracks The arrested man had been driven to the Guardia Civil barracks in Pilar de la Horadada after being caught stealing a car. The 36 year old arrested was drunk and drugged when the incident happened and he is now charged with the crimes of physically attacking a person in authority and stealing a Ford Escort, valued at more than 15,000 €, which has been recovered. The officer had to receive hospital attention after suffering several injuries, including trauma to his face and neck, and ‘is now ‘off duty’ until he recovers from his injuries explained a press release. The events happened after the owner of the car reported to the Guardia Civil in the municipality that his car was missing and that the garage door had been forced open, probably during the previous night. The car was soon spotted, being a quite distinctive mustard colour, in nearby

Orihuela. A Guardia Civil patrol arrived and captured the suspect, having spent several hours searching and with the help of other officers. The police obtained the man’s physical description and where he was living. The man was detained and sent to Pilar de Horadada where he waited for judicial disposition. Once inside a cell, the arrested man appeared drunk and out of sorts and asked to go to the bathroom. According to a statement from the armed institute ‘when he returned he fell on top of one of the agents’and started to‘brutally attack him in absolute rage, until two other officers prised him off and were then needed to hold him down’. The car was recovered by the officers and is still being held for inspection, once this is complete it will then be returned to the owner.

8 Out of 10 Cats

War Dogs is a 2016 American biographical black comedydrama film directed by Todd Phillips and written by Phillips, Jason Smilovic and Stephen Chin, based on a Rolling Stone article by Guy Lawson. Lawson then wrote a book titled Arms and the Dudes detailing the story. The film follows two arms dealers, Efraim Diveroli and David Packouz, who receive a US Army contract to supply munitions for the Afghan National Army worth approximately $300 million. The film is heavily fictionalized and dramatized, and some of its events, such as the duo driving through Iraq, were either invented or based on other events, such as screenwriter Stephen Chin’s own experiences. The film stars Jonah Hill, Miles Teller, Ana de Armas and Bradley Cooper, who also co-produced.

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

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

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

Bars & Restaurants HOW: Simple – give €1 (or more, if you can). WHERE • Online via the Go Fund Me Page (incidentally, you can see the total raised so far here too): https://www.gofund me.com/w48en-tashas-mitochondrialtreatment • Online via Pay Pal: andy.alicante @mail.com, Andy then logs each payment with the Go Fund Me page so that everything is accounted for • In person, at the following collection points:

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

Charity donations increase Seven years for Brit on ferry with 15,000 as recession fades According to the latest data, 24.3percent of Spanish adults regularly donate to an NGO, a figure that is 4.7 points higher than in December 2014. “It appears that people have got over the recession, we are about to see a huge jump in the amount being donated, with surveys showing us that some six million people who currently don't donate regularly intend to do so within the next six months,” said the president of the Spanish Fundraising Association (AEFR) and Director in Spain for World Vision, Javier Ruiz Gaitán, in an interview with Europa Press. The report makes it clear that the economic upturn and the increased transparency of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in how they use funds, are fundamental when it comes to increasing the number of donors. “There is still a small proportion of the population that doesn't trust NGOs”, said Ruiz Gaitán. For that reason, it is ‘imperative’ to have a good level of communication with the public regarding how their donations are used in order to increase the market, he added. The importance that raising private funds is gaining, not only to sustain the third sector (the economic sector comprising non-governmental organisations and other non-profit organisations), but also for cultural, environmental and animal protection associations, was made patently clear at the recent XVII Fundraising Congress in Madrid last week. “Fundraising was already very important for many organisations before

the recession,” explained Ruiz Gaitán, “but since then, many more have realised that if they want to survive, they will have to start doing it.” There are numerous examples, not only of NGOs, but also of cultural foundations that have launched projects like sponsoring a theatre seat, or campaigns to bring in micro-donations in order to be able to put on new shows. This has been the biggest major change seen by the sector over the past few years: realising the importance of raising funds. “The mobilising the general public on an individual and small business level, generating private funds, has allowed us to plan our projects, and making organisations independent and sustainable is fundamental”, he added. Profesional The second major change can be seen in the level of professionalism in the market. “Many fundraising professionals are marketing directors, and specialised

training in fundraising techniques has emerged in recent years along with agencies dedicated to this sector, like those who carry out ‘face to face’, telemarketing, or, more recently, digital campaigns”. This growth and professionalism was also reflected in the number of conference delegates, which for the first time ever exceeded 400. The slogan of this year's edition – ‘Together we bring about change’ echoed the changes seen so far. “The word ‘together’ refers to the fact that if we want to advance and create a more just society, we have to collaborate and network together. And, the second part of the slogan (‘we bring about change’) stresses the fact that ‘fundraisers’ don't only generate income, but also have to be seen as vehicles of change, as this income results in life, in improvements, in impact”, concluded the AEFR president.

The Cantabria prosecutor has asked for seven years in custody and a fine of 300,000e for the British citizen detained on the ferry with 15,000 MDMA pills intended for Spain or Portugal. The judge in Instruction Court 2 in Santander has decreed the opening of the oral case, and has declared it competent for the case to be presented in the Cantabria Provincial Court. He ratified the continued custody given the seriousness of the alleged crime ‘as the instruction stage is nearing completion’. Magistrate Miguel Ángel Agüero understands the risk of flight is enormous, ‘aggravated by the personal circumstances of the accused’, a foreign national, with a lack of any known address in Spain. In an earlier instruction, the judge ordered the processing of the accused for ‘sufficient evidence’ for the crime against public health via trafficking dangerous drugs, for the later distribution and sale ‘of an amount of toxic drugs of considerable size’ In his written accusation, the Prosecution also ordered the confiscation and decomposition of the drugs, the articulated lorry which had been impounded, where the pills were found hidden inside a secret compartment at the back of the trailer. The operation started when, in the framework of an investigation into an organised criminal gang dedicated to trafficking psychotropic drugs, by the National Police with the collaboration of the British NCA - resulted in the knowledge of an assignment of MDMA (ecstasy) pills hidden in a lorry on a ferry

which had departed from Plymouth and was going to stopover at Santander Port The detectives searched insider the traffic deck and the articulated lorry which was loaded with a van, and being driven by a British citizen after suspicions were raised. The secret compartment was found to contain 15,954 MDMA pills. The narcotics were separated into eight vacuum pack packages and covered with a thick layer of shiny grease used to hide any odour detectable by dogs. Six of the packages contained green triangular pills, another package contained pink varieties and in another the colour was yellow. Also in the same hidden compartment, the detained was also transporting some 700 fake Viagra pills used for erectile dysfunction, packed in blister packs of ten pills. The investigation was carried out by Narcotics Central Brigade, the Judicial Police Provincial Brigade, the Foreigners and Frontiers Provincial Brigade, Santander Citizens Safety and the Technical Interventions Operative Group.

Immigration forgery network smashed with 148 arrests A nationwide fraud racket charging massive amounts of money to forge paperwork allowing immigrants to gain residence has been busted with 148 arrested in 15 provinces, mostly in Granada. One of the latter is the ringleader, a businessman who had earned around half a million euros through the scam. Documents such as job contracts and payslips allowed the migrants to register

as workers with the social security office, but no contributions were made, although the fake employees managed to claim dole money, which is normally contributory. Certificates showing the migrants were registered on the padrón, or town hall census – which even illegal immigrants are allowed to do and which does not cost any money – were forged and charged for, and even habitability

warranties for newly-built houses, which enabled the holders to obtain legal residence permits. Immigrants who paid between €1,000 and €5,000 for forged paperwork – most of whom are Moroccan – are among those arrested. In addition to the 105 arrested in the province of Granada, another 23 were caught in Murcia, 11 in Jaén and the rest in Almería, Ciudad Real, Sevilla, Lleida and Badajoz.

Constitutional Court annuls 'tax amnesty' Spain’ Constitutional Court has declared the PP government's infamous 'tax amnesty' null and void, since the bill of law passed to allow it to go ahead goes against the national Magna Carta. Approved in 2012 within months of current president Mariano Rajoy getting into power, the amnesty allowed anyone who had evaded tax payments of €100,000 or more in the previous four years to settle the debt by handing over 10 percent of their income during that time, and no questions asked. No other penalties, fines or investigations would be involved, even when the knowingly-unpaid tax ran into millions. Yet law-abiding taxpayers were having to pay 43 percent. An appeal to the Constitutional Court was filed by 50 socialist MPs, who considered it merely a way of getting fraudsters off the hook. Among the top-ranking political figures and businessmen who took advantage of the tax amnesty were former PP treasurer Luis Bárcenas, ex-economy minister for the PP and former International Monetary Fund

(FMI) chairman Rodrigo Rato, and Diego Torres who, along with the King's brother-in-law Iñaki Urdangarín is facing jail for a multi-million public fund embezzlement racket. Former secretary-general for the PP in Madrid, Francisco Granados, and his ex-business partner David Marjaliza – both under investigation for a major corruption scandal – also signed up to the amnesty. In total, about 30,000 Spaniards took advantage of the scheme. The Constitutional Court has not only upheld the socialists’ appeal, but has subjected the PP to extremely harsh criticism for allowing the amnesty to take place at all. “This process supposed the State's total abdication of its duty to ensure everybody's obligation to participate in sustaining public funds is brought into effect,” the verdict stated. The amnesty offered a ‘valid option’ to those who, ‘in a manner lacking in solidarity, failed in their duty’ to pay taxes ‘in accordance with their financial capacity’ by ‘placing them in a more favourable situation’ than that of those who

voluntarily complied with their tax payment obligations within the required timescale. The entire process violates Article 86.1 of the Constitution, which prohibits the use of any legal instrument which affects ‘in a relevant and substantial manner’ the duties and obligations of residents. Although the PP claimed the amnesty was to increase available public funds, the Court says this was no excuse. If the result means ‘rendering a break with justice legitimate’ to reach it, then it is not permitted, according to the verdict. The judge stressed that the obligation to participate in maintaining public funds applies to every resident and is stipulated in Article 31 of the Constitution, meaning it cannot be altered by legislation as the Magna Carta always takes precedence. Spain's main two left-wing parties, the socialists and Podemos, have called for treasury minister Cristóbal Montoro to resign, since he was the brains behind the tax amnesty. The PP says it will ‘respect and comply with’ the Constitutional Court's decision.

Up to 40,000 cancer patients live alone, says AECC An estimated 40,000 residents in Spain who suffer cancer live on their own, and many of them have no sources of help from friends or family, according to figures from the AECC. The country's main cancer charity made this devastating, but unsurprising, revelation to coincide with International Cancer Survivors' Day. One in three people in treatment for cancer need regular help of some description – mostly psychological, but also practical, such as lifts to chemotherapy and radiotherapy appointments, someone to call on to take them to A&E if they run a temperature or suffer a bad reaction, which are fairly common; or even someone to help with cooking, cleaning and shopping and to bring them food and drinks. Of these one in three – about a million in total – 40 percent need emotional support and counselling and 28 percent need practical help. And considerable scientific research exists to show that those patients with cancer who live alone and have to fend

for themselves physically and emotionally have a much worse prognosis than those who have friends, family or partners around them at all times. AECC volunteer Susana ('Susi') García Dalmau began helping out with the charity after she was forced to call on them herself. She lives on her own, widowed after her husband died just six months after being diagnosed with stage four lung cancer, and although her children live close by, she mostly had to fend for herself after a routine health check 18 months ago uncovered breast cancer. Although she generally felt fit and well during her six rounds of chemotherapy and 33 radiotherapy sessions, and her three children helped as much as they could, Susi says: “There were times when, after getting home from chemotherapy, I just wanted to be alone in the bedroom to rest – but later on I'd feel a bit better and feel like a cup of tea. And there was nobody to make me one.” She says accompanying patients to hospital and at home

is 'one of the most-requested services' the AECC offers, and calls for assistance by cancer sufferers who live on their own have risen by 52 percent since 2013. The 40,000 who live alone are expected to rise in number over the coming years – until recently, Spain's demographic has been of extended families living close by and helping each other out, but greater mobility with younger adults relocating or emigrating for work, and the number of foreign residents having shot up since the end of the 1990s, means one-person households and residents with no family nearby are far more frequent. For Susi, the end of the story has been a positive one – as well as making lifelong friends through her volunteering and being helped by the AECC, she has been declared cancer-free and has progressed to sixmonthly check-ups which will continue until she has gone for five years without any treatment.

Brit arrested in Ibiza for chopping up woman in Thailand British man Shane Looker, 47 years old, was subject to an international search and capture order when arrested. He has now spent several nights in prison as the presumed author of the horrible death of a young Thai girl, whose body had been cut up and was found inside a suitcase in November 2014. Since then, Looker has been ‘whereabouts unknown’, although recently the Guardia Civil became aware of his presence on the island, where he is a partner in a hotel. Sources at the armed institute confirmed that they were aware of his presence but had to discover where he was living. The clue came from a car number plate when he arrived in the same car at a local car workshop. Leaving the garage at the airport industrial estate, agents from the Guardia Civil stopped him and placed him at the disposition of the Ibiza courts. The

Central Instruction Court 3 of the National Court, opened the case and ordered provisional prison, ahead of his extradition. He was detained after two years and six months after being identified as the last person to be seen with Laxami Pook Manochat before her disappearance on 2nd November, 2014. Manochat worked as a dancer in a bar in the plaza Nana, where hundreds of tourists met in search of booze and sex.

A week later, her chopped up body was found in a suitcase next to the river Mae Klong, some 100 kilometres from Bangkok. A month later a Thai blogger, called Stickboy, identified Looker as

being with Laxami, caught on the video cameras in the square; the images having been distributed previously by the Police. Looker has a strong complexion, shaved and a European aspect and was quite easily visible, claimed the blog. Pursing the investigation, the Thai Police found where Looker had been hiding, and there found Laxami’s dancing clothes – a gogo girl outfit, and obtained samples of DNA which matched Lookers skin which was found under the nails of the victim. Interpol then had enough evidence and took action. Looker arrived in Thailand on 31st October, 2014 and was then tracked crossing the frontier to Malaysia by train on 24th November, 2014 (three weeks after the suitcase was found). He was next tracked arriving in Ibiza, apparently where he planned to spend the summer months and had invested in a local hotel.

Spanish lottery ‘winner’ 'Hotter than ordered to pay back €320,000 usual' summer A woman from the northwestern Spanish region of Galicia who found a winning Christmas lottery ticket and cashed it in has been ordered to return her €320,580 winnings. The decision was reached by a court after handwriting tests proved the ticket, from 2014, had been purchased by a woman living in the same area who had written the name ‘Inés’ on the back of the ticket with the intention of giving it to a friend with that name. The accused told the court she had bought the ticket, numbered 13,437 in a lottery kiosk because she liked numbers that started or ended with 13. “I bought it eight or 10 days before the lottery was drawn because it starts with 13 and I always look for that number,” she told the judge. “I had already bought two other tickets, one which ended with the same numbers, but I saw this number on the counter and I bought it too.” Unconvinced by her version of events, the judge ruled that while there was not enough evidence to prove she had stolen the ticket, she was guilty of misappropriation of goods and was fined, as well as ordered to pay legal costs. The legitimate owner of the ticket had bought seven consecutive numbers in El Lor lottery kiosk in the Praza de Santo Domingo mall in Lugo, some 60 miles southeast of the regional capital of A Coruña. She intended to share them out among family and friends, which is why she had scribbled a name on the back of each ticket in pencil. Despite the accused’s attempts to rub the name on the back out, experts

managed to reconstruct the writing and concluded that it was the same as the writing on the other six tickets. According to article 616 of the Spanish Civil Code, anybody who finds and hands in to the authorities an item worth less than €12 is due a 10th of the value, and a 20th if it is worth more than that. For example, if you find a lottery ticket that goes on to win €100,000, the owner should give you €5,000. In the case above: €320,000, the finder would have been due €16,000. Objects, including lottery tickets, that are handed in to the authorities and are not claimed within two years are handed over to the finder. Lottery tickets have been the cause of many a lost friendship and even lawsuits. In the case above, the name scribbled on the back was enough to prove the owner’s identity. But in general, winnings go to whoever can produce the ticket. For this reason, it is always a good idea to write your ID number on the ticket or sign it. This is particularly useful if the ticket is being shared among several people. Financial consultant Remo Domingo says in such cases, photocopies or photos of the ticket are valid. Shared tickets Another good idea for shared tickets is to set up a group on popular online messaging app WhatsApp. The ticket

photo should show all the data of all the owners clearly. Written messages between the group should also confirm who has the ticket in their possession. These messages should be saved on another mobile device or in an email. If you lose your ticket or it is stolen before the lottery draw, it should be reported to the local police or court. The report should contain all the details of the loss or theft along with proof of ownership – photos of the ticket or photocopies that clearly identify it. The loss or theft should also be reported to the lottery authorities, the Asesoría Jurídica de Loterías y Apuestas del Estado. Any payment can then be paralyzed until a judge decides who the legitimate owner is. For example, if you find a lottery ticket that goes on to win €100,000, the owner should give you €5,000. In the case above: €320,000, the finder would have been due €16,000. Objects, including lottery tickets, that are handed in to the authorities and are not claimed within two years are handed over to the finder.

forecast this year Summer in Spain this year is set to be hotter than ever with temperatures expected to be well above the average for the season. State meteorological agency AEMET says this summer has a 50 percent chance of being much warmer than the norm on the mainland and in the Balearics, and a 45 percent chance of above-average temperatures in the Canary Islands, based upon figures recorded between 1981 and 2010. Rainfall will be around average for the time of year – typically rare and in the form of sudden and short-lived thunder storms and downpours. Already, the mercury is beginning to soar across the country, with May and the first week of June having been hotter than usual. A warm air mass settled over the Iberian peninsula last Saturday, bringing unusually hot weather for this time of the year. The Spanish weather agency, AEMET, said that temperatures will continue to rise on Monday, with much of inland Spain registering 35ºC and above. Six provinces – Córdoba, Jaén, Seville, Toledo, Badajoz and Cáceres – are on orange alert (signifying “important risk”) for temperatures expected to top out at 41ºC. A further 18 provinces

are on yellow alert, the lowest end of the warning scale, and meaning “risk”: Granada, Huelva, Huesca, Teruel, Zaragoza, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara, Ávila, Salamanca, Segovia, Valladolid, Zamora, Barcelona, Girona, Lleida, Tarragona and Madrid. However, weather officials note that even though the high temperatures are expected to last most of this week, it will not be long enough to constitute an official heat wave. Last year, the first heat wave began in mid-July. “Air conditioning” has already become a trending topic on Twitter, with some users complaining about the lack thereof in some schoolrooms and subway lines. The mercury will continue to rise on Tuesday and Wednesday in the northeast, and slowly drop in parts of the southwest. Wednesday will be the hottest day in northern and central Spain, with thermometers hovering around 30-35ºC.

10 Ways Your Body Changes When You Start Drinking Enough Water You'll have more energy The cells throughout your body need water to function, which is why we can all use some tips on getting more water into our diet. Water is a basic need for cellular health. Cells contain water and are surrounded by water. In dehydration, cell membranes become less permeable, hampering the flow of hormones and nutrients into the cell and preventing waste products that cause cell damage from flowing out.' When that's happening throughout your body, your energy is sapped, and fatigue can take over, according to a review of hydration research published in the journal Nutrition Review. How much water do you need boost energy? Depending on who you ask, the exact amount varies. The most agreed-upon recommendation is for six to eight 8ounce glasses of water daily. This could change though, depending on the climate you live in and the type of lifestyle you lead. Some adults may need more and some less, depending on their overall health, including if they have certain illnesses, take specific medications and more. It also depends on how much they exercise and the level of intensity, and how hot and dry the weather is. If you're interested to know how much water your body is hankering for, talk to your primary care doctor. Your memory will improve Your brain is hugely dependent on fluid to work properly. All those synapses and neurons need liquid to fire properly. According to research published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, one of the most reliable predictors of

decline in memory and mental performance is dehydration. And yet some polls estimate that upwards of 75 percent of people suffer from chronic dehydration. And that number worsens in summer: We see the rate of dehydration increase in the summer and fall when temperatures are higher and perspiration is more pronounced. Your focus will increase Ever feel like you have no control over your attention span? Your mind just wanders no matter how hard you try to focus on the task at hand? Drink a big glass of water and watch what happens: According to research published in the journal Nutrients, mild dehydration interferes with brain processing and breaks down the ability to focus. Just like sleep, maintaining a healthy diet, making time to sweat it out in your favourite workout class or log miles on your nearby running path, water is one of the most essential needs of your body. In fact, since we're made up of so much water, it makes sense why we would constantly need it to replenish, cleanse and feed our system. You'll be stronger and faster Ever feel sore during a workout, even though you didn't exercise the day before? You can check out home remedies for sore muscles, but you should also know that those aches and pains or the difficulty you experience when trying to lift a heavier weight or push through that extra mile can be due to dehydration, and not your lack of strength. Research suggests that even a 2 percent drop in hydration can cause significant losses in strength and motivation while increasing feelings of

fatigue. Ehen we take in the right amount of water for bodies, our muscles become more relaxed, which increases energy and maximizes our performance. You'll slim down by eliminating mindless snacking Ever find yourself eying the ice cream in your fridge late at night or taking a sampling of your kid's snacks, even though you know better? Instead of thinking you have hunger pains, reconsider that you're simply thirsty. More often than not, people mistake hunger for thirst, and that if you downed some water instead of those junk foods, you would feel just as full. Proper hydration can serve as an appetite suppressant and help with weight loss or weight management. Your digestion becomes reliable Though there's no magical number of times you should move your bowels, it's definitely true that your bowel movements can offer real insight to your health. And if you struggle with consistency and often feel bloated or uncomfortable, you probably need to chug that water bottle ASAP. People who drink enough water usually have regular bowel movements. Hard bowel movements or constipation can be a sign that you aren't getting enough water. Your skin is more radiant Ever go for a spa treatment—like a massage or facial—and your therapist makes a point to remind you to drink some water instead of the champagne you're eyeing? That's because skin can benefit greatly from hydration and for some, clear up your skin or make it look

younger. Our skin, the largest organ in our body, relies on water to produce new cells and give us that glow. Our skin also needs water do its job of regulating the body's temperature. No question: According to research, our skin contains 30 percent water which adds to plumpness and elasticity— vibrancy, in other words. You'll need fewer calories We’re always looking for simple ways to cut calories, right? A new study involving more than 18,000 adults from the University of Illinois found that when people increased their daily water intake by one to three cups (on top of the four they drank on average), they ate less: Their food intake dropped by as much as 205 calories a day. In other words, drink a couple more glasses of water each day and you could shed two pounds a month—no dieting or extra time at the gym required! Drinking water before—and during—meal fills you up faster, displacing the desire and need for additional calories. Drinking water before and during a meal can decrease appetite and assist in weight loss,' he notes. Choosing foods with a highwater content will also help: Many fruits and vegetables have a high water content, so they can provide additional ounces of water without you having to drink anything. Experts recommend watermelon, cucumber, tomatoes, grapes and cherries. You'll run cooler When we exercise, our bodies cool off by sweating. As we perspire, we lose necessary body fluids. If we do not replace these fluids, we become

dehydrated. This makes it difficult to sweat and cool down, which can result in a heat injury. In hot weather, it's important you know the signs of heat stroke. If you're looking for easy ways to stay hydrated during exercise, check out a trendy solution from SMITH + STARR. Co-founders Chelsea Alexander and Fallyn Smith, were inspired to create a bag that offers a hydration solution, so they wouldn't have to lug around a water bottle while commuting in their home city, San Francisco, or while going hiking or camping. Their bag, The Conway, is the first ever crossbody handbag that doubles as a hydration pack. It looks like a bag you'd take while running errands or while out with your friends, but it contains a removable water pouch that holds 17 ounces and a tube for easy hydration right from the shoulder strap. Search the internet for suppliers. You'll be in a better mood Even just dropping 1-2 percent below optimal hydration can start wrecking your mood, according to research from the University of Connecticut. That’s barely low enough to feel thirsty, and yet at that level of dehydration the moods of the women in the study soured and they were more likely to experience headaches and fatigue. So drink up! If you get tired of drinking good 'ole fashioned H20, consider upping your hydration game by making your 'brew' sparkling or flavoured. Water with bubbles offers the same benefits of regular water. Adding fruit can also make the tasteless sensation of water more interesting, try slices of fresh lemon or orange.

Organ donors up by over 10 percent; as Spain leads world transplants Spain may have broken the 5,000 barrier for organ transplants by the end of this year after a 10.2 percent rise in donors, securing its as-yet undisputed position as number one country in the world for transplants. Donations in 'asistolia' – meaning donors with no heartbeat – have risen by 27 percent, although live donations have also grown, typically kidneys or parts of livers. Lung transplants have increased by 25 percent year-on-year, whilst liver transplants have gone up by 17 percent and kidneys have risen by 9.3 percent. Bone-marrow donations have gone up by 15 percent, to a total of 323,857 compared with the 281,000 as at the end of 2016 – partly, it is thought, due to a global appeal by young leukaemia patient Pablo Ráez, who started a Twitter campaign to find a million donors. Left-wing political party Compromís wants to change the law so that all adults in Spain are automatically become donors if they are suitable, unless they express a wish to the contrary. This would

Women across Europe unaware of heart health risk Two thirds of women in the UK are unaware that heart disease and stroke are the number one cause of female death, affecting one in three women in Europe, according to new research released this week. Only one third (34%) of British women know that cardiovascular disease (CVD) posed the highest risk, nearly half of women questioned (49%) wrongly feel that cancer is the biggest threat. Others cite respiratory diseases, diseases of the nervous system or traffic accidents as the most likely cause. Compared to their European counterparts, German women had the highest level of awareness of the issue (54%), with British women the least aware (34%), according to a survey amongst British, French, German and Swedish women, conducted on behalf of the World Heart Federation (WHF). Awareness is lowest amongst the younger generation of European women, with only one in three (33%) 18-24 year olds across the four countries naming CVD as the biggest killer, compared to 54% of 45-54 year olds. Whilst awareness is important, taking action on heart health is vital. Physical activity is a key way of helping to keep your heart healthy, but the research found that three quarters of women in the four countries are doing less than the World Health Organization's recommended levels of activity[1]. One in ten of those questioned admitted that they do not spend any time at all doing moderate exercise (brisk walking, gardening, dancing etc.) in an average week. To help reverse this trend, in the run up to this summer's UEFA Women's EURO in The Netherlands, women across Europe are being encouraged to join the #MatchFitWoman 28 day challenge: improving their heart health by setting goals to get active for 30 minutes a day, five days a week. Sangeeta Bhagat, World Heart Federation said: "Every woman can be match fit. Being a #MatchFitWoman is not about being 'Beach Body Ready'. It's about recognising that even with our busy lives, we can all make a healthy heart our goal and make small changes that will keep us fit and healthy, there for our loved ones - for the long term."

mean the current ‘donor register’ being replaced with a ‘non-donor register’. Compromís points out that 85 percent of families in Spain are in agreement with donating their loved ones' organs, and that laws on the subject should be geared towards this majority rather than the 15 percent minority who do not agree. Fittingly for a country which continuously holds the world number

one slot for donation and transplant numbers, Spain will host the International Transplant Games this year, starting on June 25 in Málaga. It will see 2,218 sportsmen and sportswomen from 50 countries pitting their skills against each other. The Spanish team is made up of 77 competitors, including four children.

Peter from Cabo Roig asks: Hola Aunty, I’ve just realised that my laptop has Bluetooth already built into it and I’m told I can use this to transfer photos and also backup my phone onto my computer? I discovered I had Bluetooth accidently because I saw a small blue B icon in the bottom corner which I’d never noticed but must have always been there so I clicked on it but how do I start the connection to my phone? I have a Lenovo laptop with Windows 10 and a Samsung phone. Aunty Says: Hello Peter. If you click on the “Start” icon then the “settings” cog and then “devices” you will see “Bluetooth” listed in the left column. When you click on Bluetooth you will see some very self explanatory options where you can pair your laptop and phone ready to do a file transfer. Most modern laptops have a Bluetooth connection built in but if you don’t see the Bluetooth option it’s very easy to add a small USB dongle that will set you back less than €10. Ray from Quesada asks: Hello Aunty. Since upgrading my

Technology

Asus laptop to Windows 10 I am frequently getting more & more messages that I am running out of disk space but I just can’t see what it is that’s taking up so much space. Is there an easy way I can see what is using up my hard disk drive so I can begin to do some long overdue housekeeping? Aunty Says: Hi Ray. If you type STORAGE into

the search box next to your Start icon and click on the top one in the list you should see a list of your drives, and from here you can investigate each drive. You can use this function to get an idea of what is taking up large amounts of space, and in most cases clearing up temporary files and moving large photos and video folder onto a USB external hard drive will free up loads of space.

Peter via email asks: Hello Aunty. A while back I remember you printing instructions on how to remove annoying adverts from the internet that keep popping up almost every day, some of them are quite rude. This has become almost unbearable in the last month as I have to completely close down Chrome and start again to get rid of them. I have had my laptop serviced by a shop in Villa Martin but if anything it was worse when I got it back and half of my apps had disappeared. The next place for it is the swimming pool so please can you help? I have a Dell Inspiron with Windows 7 Professional Aunty Says: Hi Peter. The two most important things you need to do is to first scan your computer with an updated version of the free Malwarebytes and then download and install a free plugin called Adblock Plus, both of which you can get from www.download.com. Maybe the shop simply restored your computer back to an earlier Windows restore point which probably wasn’t enough to fix an issue like this. Email me your questions to auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and I’ll see what I can do.

Runaway Male drivers - Double Briton the risk at the wheel arrested in than women Benidorm Following a massive information sharing campaign on social media last week, runaway Briton David Grunty was arrested in Benidorm at the weekend. Grundy was wanted for questioning in relation to the stabbing of a 42 year old woman in Pinar De Campoverde. Guardia Civil, with the help of the N332 Facebook page, launched an ‘online’ manhunt, appealing for information from the British community on the Costa Blanca. It was hoped that expat residents may have spotted Grundy, or been aware of his whereabouts. Sure enough, local police were alerted on Saturday by the Guardia Civil from Pilar de la Horadada of the possible location of the suspect, and launched a search for the vehicle believed to have been used by Grundy to flee. In the early hours of Sunday morning, the police located the vehicle parked in the Rincón de Loix area of Benidorm. Officers awaited reinforcements and began to comb the area. The suspect appeared shortly afterwards and was arrested immediately. Inside the vehicle, officers found clothing and 4,600 euro in cash.

A combined report between the Fundación Eduardo Barreiros y la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) has concluded that men, behind the wheel, are double the risk than women. The report presented an investigation on the differences in accidents and incidents involving men and women in Spain, and was based on comparable ratios of the proportionality of the census of drivers, and based on the total population (using DGT and INE data). Blanca Arenas, coordinator and coauthor of the study, explained that for the preparation of the report, 200,000 claims produced over ten years have been analysed, revealing very significant differences in driving between men and women. “Women respect the norm more, do not assume as many risky behaviours as men, and that translates into fewer accidents and fewer victims,” says Arenas. They, therefore, the mortality rate per million drivers is more than twice as high in men as in women. In addition, the injury caused by an accident involving one or two male drivers is also double. Men are also attributed to 44.5% more serious injuries. The most frequent types of accidents

in males are the knocking down, rollovers and frontal collisions, caused by hasty acceleration and lack of patience, enthused by speed. In women, distraction and not allowing a safety distance are the more common. However, despite men taking more risks, they also perceive dangerous situations better. In general, they are in breach of speed limits and often permitted alcohol and drug rates. They are the ones who incur the most in voluntary imprudence. In the case of consumption of alcohol and / or narcotics, they even increase the risk fivefold over that posed by women. During the presentation of the report, Mariluz Barreiros, president of the Fundación Eduardo Barreiros, stressed that “our country has experienced a remarkable advance in road safety in recent years, but it is essential to continue to understand why accidents occur and how they can be prevented”. Ana Pastor, president of the Congress of the Deputies affirmed that “it is important to put in value this study to disassemble many topics that are in our country”. Mark Nolan

WINNING CHIPS FOR THE CHILDREN AT ELCHE Quesada Fish & Chips Restaurant hosted their first Charity Night, in their newly refurbished restaurant, and what an amazing success it was. 200 tickets were sold, with about 50 other 'would be' diners disappointed. The interest was overwhelming, and in trying to accommodate this large number, unfortunately, it became a bit cramped. Numbers for future, monthly events will be limited, to ensure comfort for all. Notwithstanding this singular

problem, the night was hugely successful. The band 'Best of British' provided first class entertainment, with many guests enthusing about their musicianship and entertainment value. Best of all, the night raised 1,607 euros for the Children's Care Home in Elche. The next Charity Night at this venue will be on 19th July. Money raised will be donated to Torrevieja Stroke Support,

and entertainment will be provided by Woody & The Peckers. This band are so popular, that many of the tickets have already been sold. Anyone wanting to buy tickets should do so early. These are available from Quesada Fish and Chips; The Post Room Benijofar; The Card Place in Benimar and REDZ cafe bar in Quesada. At just 10 euros, and a choice of meal, this will undoubtedly be another sell out night, but remember, numbers will be limited.

"A Better World Recipe" Ingredients 1 x Heap of kindness A generous amount of compassion Oodles of love and thoughtfulness Stir well and you end up with the "Phoenix Solos Club" "Reach Out" charity would like to say a big thank you to this wonderful club, and their charitable members who regularly donate food.toiletries,money to their charity shop in Calle dona Sinforosa 8.

Cruz Roja Pedro Javier Domínguez Crego from the Cruz Roja contacted the Costa Blanca People this week with an update on the great work being undertaken by the charity. Pedro said, “This week, we collected a fridge donated by Help Benidorm and MABS for our International Information Point in Urbanization La Marina, San Fulgencio.” Our photo shows Conch Navarro (director at Guardamar), Angeles

(volunteer for women) and Pedro Domínguez (coordinator for European Residents) at the presentation of the fridge. Later in the week, Royal British Legion Orihuela Costa visited the head office of Cruz Roja in Alicante where Pedro Domínguez showed them around, explained about the services and answered all their questions.

Lorraine Whitney, manager of the aforementioned "Reach Out" shop appreciates the club's donations and their continued support for the charity. It is so gratifying, in a world of turmoil to find that there are still people who go out of their way to think of others less fortunate.

The format was singles full handicap Stableford playing in three categories with prizes for winners and runners up from each group and the overall highest score was the winner. On arrival at the course we received a friendly greeting from Marifé and staff at Alicante Golf, the course was in great condition the heat has gone up a bit on the temperature gauge and a few players found the going was a bit hard so reflected in the scores. Winner of the Tony Firth Auctions Plaque was Group A winner Graeme Forrest, two competitions on the trot now with 29 points, runner up Group A “Back on the Radar” Alan Rodger with 28 points, winner of Group B “Keep it in the Family” Alan Ralph with 24 points, runner up Group B Dave Moore with 23 points, winner Group C, on count back, Tony Whyatt with 23 points, runner up Group C Terry Fitzgerald with 23 points. The nearest the pins winners sponsored by Tony Firth Auctions were hole 3 “The Joker” Mick Billins, hole 6 regular name John Macmillan, hole 12 Graeme Forrest, hole 17 “Mr St Patrick” Ronnie King. The presentation was held at Imanyo’s where good food and a few drinks were waiting. Thank you to Tony Firth Auctions in Montesinos for providing

and presenting all the prizes especially their daughter, Jess, who came along for the presentation as her Dad was busy at work, finally thank you to Antonio, Norma and staff at Imanyo’s Bar for the fantastic food and great hospitality. Two football cards were sold, Kim Court won with

In sweltering heat last Saturday we celebrated our Captains' prize (Mr.Alisdair McLean) tournament at La Serena. I would like to thank Alisdair for his contribution to our club, he has been a model captain always lending his support to all our events. It was our sixth annual event and how rapidly the years have gone. We had a field of 92 players all anxious to rise to the challenge and claim the prestigious title. The morning began bright and early with the drive in at 8.30 before the first players set off. Needless to say it was a fine drive and set the mark for one of the later prizes. Scoring was particularly high, with no fewer than 15 players equal or better than par. I would like to thank the staff in the pro-shop for their usual professionalism to Jose, Jean and Paul. To Wayne and all his team for the excellent condition of the course, thank you An event such as this takes many months of planning and it is very important to acknowledge the role played by the members of the junta directiva. To Camillus Fitzpatrick ably assisted by Philip Mountford many thanks for all the hard work. To our treasurer Denis McCormack who does a sterling job managing the accounts and making it possible to purchase such an array of prizes. Through prudent management the competition is subsidised by The Celts club and the entry fee for the day was only 10 euro. This covered golf, prizes and dinner in The Sunrise restaurant. Down to the presentation of prizes,. we had four sections, one for the visitors and three members’ categories. The visitors’ section winner was Adrian

Cunningham with 33 pts. The NTP’s were collected by Sue Owens, John Aitchison, Steve Baron, Steve Carter, John O'Brien and Andy Currie. The special prizes, nearest the Captain's drive went to Eileen Hudson who was absolutely thrilled as this was her first ever prize. The longest drive went to Alan Proudfoot. Category 3. 1st. Giovanni Butto 39,, 2nd. Roy Sutherlan 39, 3rd. John Coholan 39. Category 2. 1st. Sue Benning 40, 2nd. Darren Holden 37, 3rd.

Laurence Brennan 37. Category 1. 1st. Tony Head 37, 2nd. Pauvla Serakova 36, 3rd. John O'Brien 33. The gross was won by Camillus FItzpatrick with 32. The overall runner-up Nigel Brandish with 40 and the winner of the Captains' prize, Roy Ramberg. 41pts. A special mention must go to our senior golfers as similar to the current holder of the Presidents prize Roy has celebrated more than 75 years. There is hope for us all yet.

In a thrilling game La Manga travelled to Torrevieja and after winning the toss put Torrevieja in to bat. After hitting 12 runs off the first over, the next 14 yielded only 29. Torrevieja then tried to up the run rate and after losing Kieran Wood for 30 and Ciaran Guichard for 18, Paul Harvey and Dave Reid put together a partnership of 108. Paul (63) was caught on the boundary going for another big hit and Dave fell for 36 steadily accumulated runs. Rahul Maini and Paul Michael continued to hit out and put on 40 runs in the last 5 overs. Torrevieja 235 for 4. a winning score surely. La Manga had other ideas and after getting used to the wicket started to score steadily until Dave Williams was bowled. Such was the nature of the game

that he had survived to earlier appeals. First a run out, given out, until the wicket keeper admitted dropping the ball before removing the bails and an LBW again given out until the Torrevieja captain, Kieran Wood said the ball had hit the bat first. Robbie James came and went then 15 year old Charlie Hunt came in with La Manga needing 160 runs off the last 20 overs. He and Stuart Simpkins pushed the score alond until Stuart went for a well deserved 81. Charlie continued to score and together with his father, Ian, Charlie scored the winning runs off the 38th over, Charlie finishing on 61 not out. Torrevieja have a friendly game against a team from Bonalba in July 1st. Spectators welcome. Further info at torrevieja-cricket@live .com

Promotions Update A second half penalty away at Ecija Balompie makes Olimpic favourites to be playing division 2B football next season. Former Ontinyent player Moyita put the Group 10 outfit ahead three minutes before the interval but the Group six champions fought back to claim that allimportant away goal. Pepin drove home from the twelve yard mark on 58 minutes to ensure the advantage come the second leg for the Valencian side. The game in Seville was played in temperatures that nudged 40 degrees, but both sides maintained an exciting tempo, though defences were mainly on top. It could well be a similar experience this Saturday when both sides play out the second leg in Xativa. Over 4,500 spectators packed the stands for this home tie and Olimpic will be expecting a similar crowd this weekend. Ontinyent were at home for their first leg final tie, facing Deportivo Alaves B. The group four champions had won through to the final by virtue of a penalty shoot out. It was unlucky 13 for the visitors as Domenech lashed home the opener and the home side proceeded to ram in two more before the interval. That was how things stood until full time, so Ontinyent are looking good for a return to 2B, provided they do not collapse to a 4-0 thrashing! The crucial game to decide who would grace the division three group six stage next term kicked off in searing heat in Villajoyosa on Sunday evening. La Nucia won the first leg by 1-0 but a huge home side were convinced they could spur their side to victory. However, La Nucia

dominated the first half and Hermosa drove home from the edge of the area midway through the first period. The second half was lacking in intensity and any real action. Villajoyosa did level the match but not until the 94th minute, when it was all over bar the shouting as they needed three to triumph. It ended all square with La Nucia returning to the third division on a 2-1 aggregate win. Thus Torry will face Villajoyosa in the Preferente come the new season, as former Torry favourite Rafa Gomez (who came on as a 73rd minute substitute) returns to the third division. CD Torrevieja has been busy preparing for the new term, which is still three months away. Negotiations are in an

advanced stage to ensure that the club plays all home games back at the Vicente Garcia. This will require constructing new changing room facilities for officials and visiting teams as well as utilising the current trophy room for the home side. On top of this the club is also already looking at personnel for the 2017/18 campaign. On Wednesday night the Torry Army hold their AGM to elect officers for the next 12 months and make their plans to support the club. The meeting starts at 8pm and will be held in the Casa Ventura in San Luis. All members and any new ones are urged to attend. Jeff Scott Vice president CD Torrevieja

ABBEY ANGLING

RODS & REELS

The 4th round of the Summer Series was fished at the El Bosquet Complex on the 13th June. We used pegs 1 to 16 today, as the roads to the back channels was out of commission being hard cored. The Carp now seemed to have now finished spawning and the water is full of fry. With peg one not being drawn; Bill Reade took full advantage of the situation to take top billing on peg two with 32kgs but with the remaining anglers on the long channel struggling to make low double figures, whilst the rest of the fishermen on the oblong, which was out of the wind had good bags of fish on the day 1st Bill Reade with 32.060kgs fishing the pole using bread and pellet 2nd Lennie Bolton with 27.180kgs fishing the pole using pellet and bread 3rd Ron Salsbury with 18.980kgs fishing the pole using pellet 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

We fished our 9th round of the Spring Series on the Embalsa de La Pedrera on the 14th June. The water levels are now receding fast, and it has dropped about one foot in the last ten days, making the banks very muddy because of the silt, so wellies are a requirement. The Barbel seem to be still spawning which probably accounts for very few of them being taken. Lennie Bolton took the top spot on the feeder with over 22kgs, and with 2nd and 3rd places closely fought, both Richard Wood and Mick Hill having good bags of fish also taken on the feeder. 1st Lennie Bolton with 22.200kgs fishing the feeder and pole using pellet and paste 2nd Richard Wood with 21.580kgs fishing the feeder using pellet 3rd Mick Hill with 19.940kgs fishing the feeder using pellet There are still some vacancies at the Club and if anyone is interested in joining please contact Bill Reade on 966790416 TIGHT LINES Terry Screen

BETTAS TORREVIEJA RFC NEWEST RUGBY CLUB IN TOWN There has been a new rugby club set up just recently, for ladies only at the moment, based in Torrevieja based on traditional ethics of the sport, called Bettas Torrevieja RFC. Their intentions are to grow and develop a club for all ages and genders. The ladies train every Wednesday and Sunday during the summer months at 20.30 opposite Nelson Mandela Stadium

on the athletics pitch. So come on down and join the rugby revolution that is now happening in Spain and be part of a growing team. Everyone is welcome if you have experience or not, so see you all down at the next training session. For more information about the team and training contact Javi on 603 727 179

Another early shotgun start didn’t curtail scoring. Now used to the phenomenon the 42 members and 5 guests playing registered some fantastic returns. It was expected that the recent hollow tining of greens would have a negative effect, but this clearly wasn’t the case, members having to score at least 35 points to make 5th in each of the categories played.
