Outcry against giant plaster mine in San Miguel A project to open a plaster mine which would decimate 1,450 hectares or 14.5 million square metres of land in San Miguel de Salinas has received a huge outcry from residents across the area. he mine would sit on the north-westsouth facade of the municipality affecting most of the residential urban areas of the municipality and its economy. San Miguel thrives on tourism and real estate but the mine could see these plummet along with related sectors such as retail, hospitality and construction. Agriculture could also suffer and all aspects of urban and rural life and livelihood could see adverse affects. In short the open cast mine could see house prices drop dramatically and the town

Manolo Gomez, President of the residents association San Miguel Arcangel, said: The town is now facing a a waste treatment plant on its eastern side and the open cast mine on its west and northern sides.” The mining company, which is part of the Torralba Group, has sought permission from the authorities in Alicante to investigate and test the land for a proposed gypsum mine.

BITE SIZE Population NEWS: getting older From Friday 12th October until Sunday 14th October it was Spain’s third Intercontinental Dragon Boat Festival. This was the second time it had been held in Torrevieja and a total of around 400 rowers took part from the United States, Canada, South Africa, England, France, New Zealand and, of course, Spain. The event was celebrated with participants from four different continents and took place at the International Marina by the playa del Acequión in Torrevieja. Saturday saw the teams competing for a place in the final which was held on Sunday 14th October. There was a breast cancer focus this year with the competition also being a memorial to Jan Collins. Janet Collins was a rower who had been helping the Asociación Española de Dragon Boat to develop over the last five years. There is also a BCS (Breast Cancer Survivor) category which brings together women who have survived breast cancer from all over the world. Dragon Boats go back more than 2,000 years and are originally from China. They consist of 10 or more rowers and the boat has a dragon’s head on the front and a dragon’s tail at the rear. In the stern there is a helmsman who is in charge of steering and at the front the rhythm that the rowers must follow is beaten out with a drum. Continued on page 5
The latest statistics released by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) suggest that only two out of ten people living in the Alicante province are less than 19 years old. This means that 19.8% of those living in this region are below 19 years of age or 363,000 out of the 1.8 million people living here. The drop in the number of young people has been put down to difficulties getting work, low
wages, lack of professional opportunities and the problem of juggling parenthood and a career. The result is an aging population with fewer and fewer young people and a growth in those of 100 years old and more. The number of people who have lived a century or more has now tripled in the province whilst the number of births
has fallen by 5,000. In order to rectify the balance there would need to be a baby boom similar to that of the 1970s. This year 15,035 babies were born compared to 22,000 in 1976 – a record number for the province. One of the factors being blamed for the decline is the difficulties that women have with childcare and the lack ofresponsibility taken by men in the family home. Sociologist from the University of Alicante, Raul Ruiz Callado, suggests that women are delaying having children or even deciding not to have them at all because of the difficulties of maintaining a career and looking after a family. Callado also suggests that having more children is no longer seen as desirable. He describes how in agricultural societies having more children to help was seen to improve the quality and standard of living of the family. Children were considered to be ‘production goods’ but now, he suggests, they are ‘consumer goods’. They represent a considerable expense more than an aid for survival. Does it matter? A reduction in the number of young people results in a loss to the economy. According to professor Carlos Gómez Gil from the University of Alicante, ‘Young people are a valuable work force. The deficit is damaging growth and the economy needs them. Their tax contributions are also important and as the population ages more workers are needed to cope with pensions.’ Suzanne O’Connell

FIRE IN TORREVIEJA FLAT The fire started in a building with five floors on 9th October in calle San Pascual. Twenty people had to be evacuated from their homes due to concern that the fire might spread. However, fortunately no one was injured. The evacuation was overseen by the Local Police and the Guardia Civil. The cause of the fire is not yet known but it began at around 3pm and was attended to by three fire engines from Torrevieja’s fire station. The flat where the fire began was full of smoke and flames. The fire was spreading by means of the stairwell and the smoke
was affecting flats on the fourth and fifth floors. This was particularly the case as doors to the flats had been left open due to the rapid evacuation of the occupants. Shortly after extinguishing the flames the firefighters were called out again to a car fire on the CV-905 at the roundabout to Los Montesinos. The only occupant of the car had already got out and was unharmed. The car itself, which was a high-end vehicle, was completely gutted by flames. The incident caused a build up of traffic on this busy stretch of road. Suzanne O’Connell

World mental health day El Centro de Rehabilitación e Integración Social (CRIS) of Torrevieja has commemorated world mental health day with a presentation in front of Torrevieja’s mayor, José Manuel Dolón, the councillor, Domingo Soler, and family, patients and members of associations. During the presentation reference was made to the pace of life and the extent to which people suffer stress. Particular reference was made during the speeches to the importance of education and the need to make sure that schools are able to support and provide for students with mental health needs. The speech was translated into different languages including English. It’s the 26th year that the importance of mental health has been acknowledged in this way.
sulfate dihydrate. It is widely mined and is used as a fertilizer, and as the main constituent in many forms of plaster, blackboard chalk and plasterboard. The mine would spread from the Camino de la Balsa road up to Torre Estrella and Ciudad de las Comunicaciones, over to La Pedrera reservoir and down to the CV-95. If the mine goes ahead it would also be a serious blow to the future Sierra de Escalona and Dehesa de Campoamor natural parks. Some 1,065 hectares of the proposed site overlap with the ZEPA area

Other local areas and their residents would also be affected by the number of large lorries needed to service the mine. Manolo Gomez added: “As citizens we cannot consent in the 21st century that private businesses and interests shape our
Semana Santa museum On 11th October the mayor, José Manuel Dolón, the councillor for culture Domingo Pérez and the president of the Easter week floats visited the Museo de Semana Santa together. The location of the images, statues and thrones associated with the Easter procession is to be changed and this has caused some friction between the council and those in charge of the processions. The visit on 11th was to satisfy all parties that the new location would be sufficiently big to house the different exhibits. After the visit the mayor said that it had been conducted in a cordial and relaxed manner and that dialogue will continue about the new location. The President will now meet with those in charge of the different brotherhoods or Cofradías to convey his impressions. The museum is to share its site with the Sea and Salt Museum and some Guardia Civil offices are also intended to be located there.
Fashion parade On Saturday 20th October there will be a fashion parade in Torrevieja at the Plaza de la Constitución. The parade will start at 8.30pm and will include 40 models wearing a variety of different clothes and accessories that you can buy from businesses in Torrevieja. There will be children’s fashion, glasses, shoes, hair stylists and make up. The event is an opportunity to publicise the shops that the town centre has to offer and encourage people to take their browsing a little further than just the local shopping centres.
Jazz event a success 13th October saw the second day of the jazz festival in Torrevieja take place in the International Auditorium. This time it was the turn of Kyle Eastwood, son of the actor Clint Eastwood, to entertain the crowds. Kyle was accompanied by his musical quartet. Kyle is considered to be one of the best double bass players in the current jazz world. He has had nine records released and has composed and arranged soundtracks like ‘Mystic River’, ‘Million Dollar Baby’, and ‘Gran Torino’. Other celebrated artists took part in Continued on page 8

Despite the fact that the project was submitted in May 2016, the is still in its preliminary stage and only came to light recently - on 31st August - when the company’s proposal had to be released into the public domain along with the request for the Investigation Permit. The second stage would be the application for an Exploitation Permit.

14th Solidarity Calendar Local historian Andy Ormiston has once again produced the Costa Blanca Solidarity Calendar. The calendar, designed by Carlos García, features beautiful photography by Phil Friar and Nicolás Garcia. Andy dedicated this year’s calendar to the volunteers and people behind local groups and charities who give so much of their time and skills for the greater good. Andy made special mention of the work of Pieta House (Darkness into light, suicide awareness), Pedro Dominguez of the Cruz Roja and Beatriz Lara, the social worker of the Casa Verde Foundation who works with a number of local charities as a link with social services. Thanks to the support of corporate sponsors, the production of the calendar is entirely paid for which means that when Andy gifts the calendars to local groups and charities, they can then sell them on and keep 100% of the proceeds for their individual cause. For this reason, many charities were invited to the launch of the calendar, which took place at Aroca Sequier Abogados. Representatives of DEBRA, the Elche Children’s Home, Charity4Charities, Age
€30,000 to help disaster struck Bali
Concern, Help Vega Baja, K9, AFE Cancer, Nueva Fraternidad, AECC, the Alzheimer’s Association, the Samaritans, ALPE and many more causes were present to show their support for the calendar initiative. 2500 copies of the calendar are available for sale and with an RRP of €6 per copy, it is estimated that this year’s calendar will raise €15,000 for local charities. The calendar wasn’t the only ‘good news’ on the day of the launch. Miguel Angel Aroca, a dedicated
supporter of Andy’s solidarity calendar for many years took the opportunity to reveal a €30,000 donation to the Yayasan Sahaja Sawah Foundation – a nonprofit established by Torrevieja businessman Bernard Van Elmpt who has been involved in charity work in Bali
The calendar and donations are presented
since 2008. As Andy explained, “Many people think that Bali is just a paradise for tourists, but the reality is that alongside the rich, there is extreme poverty and after the recent catastrophic events, the work by Bernard and the Foundation is more vital than ever. ” This most recent donation will be used to build and fund a school, and to support the wonderful work done by the foundation. More information on the work being done by the foundation can be found at: https://www.sahajasawah.org/ Also in receipt of donations on the day were Technologia En Vuelo which received €6250 and divided between AFECancer, ADIEM and DEBRA was €10,596. All of these substantial donations were made possible by an agreement between Aroca Sequier Abogados and Cambridge Global Payments – instead of earning commission on money transfers, Aroca Sequier gather the money to be used for donations. Andy’s solidarity calendar will be on sale from most local charity outlets – simply choose which cause you would like to support and if you buy the calendar directly, all of the proceeds are donated to that cause. At the Costa Blanca People office, you can buy a calendar to support a fundraiser for medical treatment for 11 year old Nigel Watson who has a malignant brain tumour.

Spain’s Socialists face first poll test Spain’s ruling Socialists face their first electoral test since taking power in June after the leader of Andalusia on Monday called snap regional elections for December. Susana Diaz, president of the southern region, announced on Twitter that she had called elections for December 2, after the Socialists lost the support of the centre-right Ciudadanos party. It will mark the start of a string of electoral tests for the government leading up to May 2019 municipal and European elections nationwide as well as regional elections in 13 of the country’s 17 regions. The Socialists, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, have only a slender parliamentary majority. In recent years, they have lost support to Ciudadanos and to Podemos on the radical left. Andalusia is Spain’s most populous region and has been a Socialist bastion since 1982.

Hospital waiting Time to pay times announced back say Sueña Torrevieja hospital has announced that during the summer months the average waiting time in casualty was 45 minutes. Altogether the department attended to 78,282 emergencies which is around 851 a day. Of these, 46% were foreigners mostly from the UK, Ireland, France, Morocco and Norway. The statistics refer to the months of July, August and September. Every year they are analysed to check on the impact that the tourist season has upon the ability of the hospital to function well. The average waiting time of 45 minutes is considered to be below the average across the country and below the figure last summer. ‘These figures have been achieved through planning at all emergency points,’ said Pepa Soriano, director of nursing. ‘Enabling the Department of Health of
Torrevieja to respond effectively to demand during the hottest months.’ The swell in population was accommodated without the need to open up the additional hospital beds that are available on the second floor. These are there in case of a sudden peak in demand or a more extensive emergency situation arising. Although there are more emergencies during the summer months they tend to be less serious and prolonged than during the winter period. During winter there is an increase in the number of respiratory problems which tends to lead to a need for more beds for a longer period of time. Many of the summer emergencies can be dealt with quite quickly and without the need to occupy a bed. Suzanne O’Connell
It was recently publicised that an excouncillor had been drawing money for council duties whilst also continuing to work as a lawyer, estate agent and community administrator. Following the revelation, the political party in Torrevieja, Sueña, is demanding that the money be returned to the town. It has been claimed that Joaquín Albaladejo (right) collected €184,000 whilst he was a councillor for the PP between the years of 2007 and 2011. Those demanding the return of the money note that ‘he condemned the behaviour of those in opposition but didn’t apply the same standards to himself.’ Sueña are also asking that Albaladejo stand down from his current political roles as he now lacks credibility. ‘It is shameful that there are political representatives that use their majority to pass agreements that will help them financially to the detriment
of the people in Torrevieja.’ The PP party of Torrevieja have a somewhat blemished reputation already with their councillor and ex-mayor having served a term in prison for fraud. Now Sueña are calling for action to be taken against Albaladejo if he does not return the money he took for carrying out his office. Suzanne O’Connell

He acknowledged that it wasn’t an easy job and the high priority that the Guardia place on the protection of civilians.

Last year, 13.8 million foreign tourists visited the Balearic Islands, according to official statistics. The biggest numbers came from Germany and Britain. Many more foreigners live in the archipelago. Environmental group Ecologistas en Accion said “the tragedy in Sant Llorenc could have been avoided” if laws banning building in floodplains had been respected. Meanwhile in southern France at least two people died when several cars were swept away by flash floods triggered by heavy rain, authorities said.

Spain hopeful of closing Gibraltar Brexit deal with UK by October The Spanish government is trusting that the negotiations it is engaged in with the United Kingdom on the issue of Gibraltar will bear fruit very soon. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is hopeful of reaching a deal on the British overseas territory, which is located in the south of Spain, in the month of October, before the UK concludes a deal with the European Union on “Brexit” – the process by which the country will exit the 28-country bloc. Spain wants the deal on Brexit to include a specific protocol on Gibraltar, and to facilitate this, Sánchez has excluded from the negotiations the controversial aspiration of Spain to have joint use of the airport in the territory. “We hope to be able to reach a deal with the United Kingdom in October,” Sánchez said at a press conference after the summit of heads of state and government that took place recently in Salzburg. The PM explained to his EU partners – the leaders of the other 26 member states that, along with Spain, will remain after Brexit – the scope of the discussions with London over Gibraltar. “I have found the support of my partners over this,” he said. “We need a deal on Gibraltar in October.” In Sánchez’s opinion, the pending issues are “loose ends” that can be resolved between now and then. The Spanish government wants those agreements, which will reduce the imbalances between Gibraltar and its surroundings, crystalized in a European protocol, annexed to the Brexit deal, as reported in Spanish news papers.
Asked by a British journalist about the viability of that strategy, Sánchez said he was optimistic. “There are still some complications, but there is determination on the part of the British and Spanish governments to reach a deal in October,” he said. The complications lie in all the areas to be dealt with at the bilateral talks
deal on that point in the past suggests that it is an issue best left for the future. The current agreement that the countries are trying to reach will have a very short shelf life: the 21 months that, presumably, will pass between the UK leaving the EU (on March 30, 2019), and the coming into force of the future framework for the

We hope to be able to reach a deal with the United Kingdom in October... between Madrid and London: environment, tax and tobacco-smuggling (see box below). Despite these stumbling blocks, Sánchez was keen to highlight the “constructive focus” of the British government, which is showing its commitment to close down a deal soon, despite not yet having made any formal guarantees. Sánchez avoided mentioning the airport – which was built by the UK on land that Spain does not consider to be part of the British Overseas Territory – as up for discussion. The failure to reach a
relationship between the country and the bloc (in theory, in January 2021). After Sánchez made his statements, a spokesperson from the British government said: “We are continuing to have constructive discussions with the government about Gibraltar and with our European partners, including Spain, to tackle the practical implications that have arisen from the exit of the United Kingdom from the EU.” But despite all of this, the objective of October is a massive challenge – both for the bilateral agreement on Gibraltar, and the actual Brexit deal itself.

The history of pistachio nuts reflects their “royal character”, endurance and pride. Pistachios are said to have been a favourite delicacy of the Queen of Sheba, who confiscated all Assyrian deliveries for herself and for her royal court.
Pistachio is the common name for Pistacia vera related botanically with the likes of the Cashew and Mango. Although pistachio trees have been known for a long period of time, the place of their origin is uncertain. They probably come from the Middle East, western Asia and Asia Minor, where they used to grow wild in the high desert regions. Legend has it that lovers met beneath the trees to hear the pistachios crack open on moonlit nights for the promise of good fortune. And Nebuchadnezzar, the ancient king of Babylon, is said to have had pistachio trees planted in his fabled hanging gardens.
female tree. The trees are wind-polli-nated rather than bee-pollinated. The trees are inclined to spread and droop, and may initially need staking. Their open habit and attractive foliage make them valuable ornamentals Like many other nut trees, the pistachio is alter-nate bearing - producing a heavy crop one year and a lighter crop the next. Pistachios mature rather slowly, reaching significant production seven to ten years after planting. Peak production is reached at about 20 years. Under favourable conditions pistachio trees live and produce for centuries.
History of the pistachio Pistachios are one of the oldest flowering nut trees. Recent archeological evidence suggests that the nuts were being used for food as early as 7,000 B.C. Flourishing in hot climates, pistachios spread from the Middle East to the Mediterranean, quickly becoming a treasured deli-cacy among royalty, travellers and com-mon folk alike. The pistachio’s high nu-tritional value and long storage life also made it an indispensable travel item among early explorers and traders. Along with almonds, pistachios were fre-quently carried by travelers across the ancient Silk Road that connected China with the West.
Growth habits The pistachio is a broad, bushy, tree which grows slowly to a height and spread of 25 to 30 feet (7 to 9 m), with one or several trunks. It is deciduous (drops its leaves each year) and dioecious (comes in separate sexes with the male trees bearing pollen and the female trees bearing the nuts). Both male and female trees must be present for fruit to set, or a branch from a male tree may be grafted on a
Culture Pistachio trees will grow and survive in a wide range of conditions, but thrive in areas which have winters cool enough to break bud dormancy and long, hot summers. Chill requirements are estimated at 600 to 1,500 hours below 7°C, depending on cultivar. Pistachio trees are very tolerant of drought, frost, heat, and saline soil. They need a sunny position and well-drained soil and do best with deep, infrequent watering. Pistachio trees do poorly in conditions of high humidity, and are susceptible to root rot if they get too much water and the soil is not sufficiently free draining. Since pistachios grow slowly, they do not require large quantities of nitrogen fertilizer. A spring feeding of a complete, balanced fertilizer should be adequate. Marc Vijverberg

WELCOME TO LA GOMERA with Vivalia Travel
Just arrived and you can already feel the magic of the place as it envelops you. Keep looking and you learn that this energy is real. Travel from landscape to landscape, through palm-filled valleys, deep ravines, black sand beaches with crystal-clear waters, luxuriant ancient forests refreshed with babbling streams … A natural paradise, home to species that have disappeared everywhere else. La Gomera is so valuable that it is a Biosphere Reserve. From a distance La Gomera appears as an impenetrable fortress ringed with soaring rock walls. Noodle-thin roads wiggle their way alongside cliff faces and up ravines, and the tiny white specks that represent houses seem impossibly placed on inaccessible crags. Viewed from up-close, however, that rough landscape translates into lush valleys, awe-inspiring cliffs and stoic rock formations sculpted by ancient volcanic activity and erosion. La Gomera does not offer the standard tourist resort trappings of golden beaches and an animated nightlife. It is also relatively laborious to reach; the ferry from Los Cristianos is a filter of sorts, visitors here tend to be walkers heading for the myriad hiking trails that weave across this lush and spectacular island. La Gomera also has a tangible bohemian air; and you will spy plenty of grey ponytails from foreign residents who arrived here in the 1960s flower power days – and stayed. Peaceful and beautiful. This is La Gomera, known as "Isla Mágica" (the magical island). It is the second smallest of the Canary Islands, measuring barely 20 kilometres from north to south. It is an ecological treasure, and its coast is dotted with small beaches set between cliffs.
It has a rugged coastline with small black-sand beaches and is a paradise for nature lovers. Its wild, mountainous landscape is packed with contrasts: in just a few kilometres you go from palmcovered valleys to huge canyons; from arid coastal areas with waters ideal for scuba diving, to fascinating forests, crammed with vegetation. The Garajonay National Park is particularly outstanding. It is a prehistoric forest with the UNESCO World Heritage designation. Exploring its tracks and trails is a unique experience. You can enjoy the peace of La Gomera on the many routes that cross the island from one end to another. The island is perfect for walking, with surprising outings possible through impressive countryside. One of its most surprising traditions is the "silbo": this is a system of communication, unique to the island, whereby syllables are spelled out by whistling. The islanders used this form of communication for centuries on account of the rugged relief here. It allowed simple messages to be sent across gorges, overcoming distances and the complications of the local terrain. It is well worthwhile going to one of the exhibitions and competitions that take place nowadays. It was awarded the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity designation in 2009. La Gomera's airport is in the south and offers good communications, with flights to Tenerife and Gran Canaria. There are also daily boat and ferry services to and from Tenerife. The best way to get around inland is by renting a car. Be sure not to miss the simple but delicious local cuisine, with stews, soft cheeses and honey extracted from palm trees.

Giving up alcohol
Can’t buy me love
I don’t think I am an alcoholic but I am aware I am drinking too much and want to cut down. I go out socially a lot, and I find drinking less is very difficult. I decided to not drink at all for a while and stopped going out. It was very boring, and I don’t have any fun. I am depressed when I can’t drink.
In the past I have given my children money whenever they have asked for it - thousands and thousands. Now in my old age, I only hear from them when they want something, and they only stay for a very short while - time enough for me to make a transfer. I know I have brought this upon myself, but how can I change things now?
The key here is moderation. May be try only going out at the weekends, and watching your alcohol unit intake. Also, if you can get fit and do some regular vigorous exercise, this will help you enormously. Exercise produces endorphins and will make you feel good without feeling the need to drink alcohol so much. Perhaps suggest to your friends that you do a weekly exercise class together. Addiction to alcohol can creep up a person over time, and it can be difficult to control the habit. If you want to enjoy the odd drink and not have give up entirely, then it’s time to act before it becomes a big problem.
This is going to be tough I am afraid. You have got yourself, and your children into bad habits, and I am sorry to say that they may not have much respect for you if they know you are such an easy touch. As for wanting to change things now, you can tell them that the last handout will absolutely have to be the last, because you simply do not have the money to spare. You must stress that you know they will understand, and you are certain that because they love you, they would not want you to endure any hardship.

Spain’s most-wanted drug trafficker in music video Two men get out of a Bentley Continental, a luxury car worth more than €200,000. “The king of charm is back,” sings Spanish reggaeton performer Clase-A as he leaves the vehicle. The men head to a house where they are surrounded by semi-naked women. There is champagne with sparklers, a hot tub and all the other clichés you would expect from the genre. Except in this video, the other man who gets out of the car is Francisco Tejón, the biggest drug trafficker in Campo de Gibraltar, in the south of Spain. Tejón is the leader of the Castaña clan, a cartel that has made more than €30 million from drug trafficking in recent years, according to police investigators. A warrant for his arrest has been out since 2016 but being one of the most-wanted men in Spain did not dissuade Tejón from starring in the music video for the song Candela. Nor did the fact his brother Antonio was arrested in June. The music video was published on YouTube on 2nd October and since then it has been watched more than 41,000 times. Police sources from La Línea de la Concepción, one of the areas hardest hit by drug crime in the region and the home of the drug trafficker, confirm that the man in the clip is Tejón. The police are now investigating the appearance in the video, confident that it will aid Tejón’s definitive arrest. Officers
say that the music video was a gesture of arrogance in the face of the security forces, as well as a warning to the hashish drug clans that he is still around. But it’s also an act of overt exposure, one that could be costly for him. Not long ago, an Instagram account shared photos of the drug kingpins’ parties,
appear in any of those images. If the video was made last month – and not before the end of 2016 when the arrest warrant was issued – it would mean the drug lord has been living in Campo de Gibraltar with complete impunity. Tejón stars in various scenes in the three-and-a-half-minute video, almost

prostitutes and girlfriends, in an apparent act of revenge. Since that betrayal, the Civil Guard says, Tejón has lost trust in his lieutenants and has taken a more active role in controlling his gang. In some scenes of the video, there are images of the outside of the house used by the gang for private orgies. And in September, Clase-A shared various photos and videos of the filming process on social media. Tejón did not

He is seen again at the swimming pool with more dancing semi-clad ladies. The video finally ends with Tejón and Clase-A, both with their shirts off, entering a room called Mazmorra (Dungeon) where women await them on a circular bed.
Well known The house that appears in the video is well known to the police. Officers previously was thought it was just another one of the cartel’s many properties, one of the 17 listed in the 2017 investigation Operation Ronal. But when they entered the home, located in the Guadacorte de los Barrios residential estate in Cádiz, they discovered that it was being used by the cartel to organise private orgies. The house had a pool, bar, dark room, circular beds and rooms. It was indicative of the decadence of drug gang leaders used to living the high life. But the fortune of the Castaña drug lords began to change at the end of 2016. In 2017, police launched the drugtrafficking investigation Operation Ronal, which led to the arrest of 30 members of the Castaña cartel and forced two of the Tejón brothers into hiding. On June 7, Antonio Tejón was arrested in La Línea in an operation that required more than 100 officers. Police are now hoping the video clip will give them clues into the whereabouts of Francisco Tejón. According to some rumours, he is in Morocco, while others say he is moving around La Línea undetected thanks to a motorcycle helmet. After so much time living in hiding, Tejón has finally shown his face – not to hand himself over to the police but to showcase his kitsch life of luxury.

uying your dream home is an exciting time in anyone’s life..you’ve saved up your hard earned money, and now the time has arrived to make your dream a reality. For many of us, this is the best time, but for others it can be a feeling of “oh my goodness, what have we done!” This feeling doesn’t actually mean there’s something wrong, or that you shouldn’t carry on and complete your purchase. It’s only your mind playing Devil’s advocate, making you question your judgment with “What if’s…” Here’s how to make sure those questions can be put to rest, so you can make this journey an exciting one, and not one to be afraid of. If you’re unsure about how much your legal costs will be, make sure those questions have already been answered, long before you’ve even put your offer forward. No-one wants to receive a hefty bill after you’ve completed, so get that “piece of mind information,” from the start. If you’re scared you could be paying too much, think about other homes you’ve already seen in your price range. Ask your Real Estate Agent to show you comparable home prices. This will reinforce your decision to buy at the price you’ve offered, again allowing
those butterflies of excitement, to carry you through your purchase. If you’re in the mindset of “maybe a better house will come on the market,” you need to stop second-guessing yourself. Don’t you remember how many homes you’ve looked at online, before you fell in love with the one you have chosen? You need to give yourself a pat on the back, and remind yourself of all the legwork you did upfront. Hey, raise your hand high, because here’s a high five from me! And, if you’re still afraid you’re going to miss out on your dream home, ask yourself how happy you are with the home you are buying, on a scale of 1 to 10. An 8 or higher, you’re making a great purchase. Think about this…. You could be looking for a year and never find a perfect 10. If you think you’re taking on more than you can cope with regarding any renovations, ask yourself if you need to do the whole house in one go, or could you live in the home, and make the improvements one room at a time. Always start with something easy, like painting the master bedroom. You’ll soon feel very satisfied at what you’ve achieved. So stop doubting your decision, look to the future with your head held high, and make your purchase a happy adventure. I’m sure you’re choice will be perfect! SELLING YOUR HOME? ENJOY THE JOURNEY!

Stolen baby Doctor, guilty but won’t go to prison The Madrid High Court has announced that it has found the retired Spanish doctor Eduardo Vela, 85, to be the perpetrator of the three crimes of which he had been accused in Spain’s first “stolen baby” trial. Those are: child abduction, faking a birth, and falsifying childbirth records and other official documents relating to a woman named Inés Madrigal.
Madrigal is now 49 years old. Vela was facing 11 years in jail for the three offenses, with the public prosecutor also calling for compensation of €150,000 to be paid to Madrigal. The sentence backs her claim that she was stolen from her real parents in 1969 and given to another family. Madrigal had asked for 13 years in jail for the former doctor and no

Vela was shown to have faked “a birth that did not take place,” establishing a “bogus parentage,” without “any proof that he had previously sought consent from, nor informed, the parents of the newborn baby.” According to the ruling, Vela was

However, he will not serve a prison term for the crimes because the court ruled that the offences passed the statute of limitations when Madrigal turned 28: 10 years after she became of legal age, because that is the statute of limitations on the most serious of the three crimes, abduction. There is, however, a division of opinion among jurists on whether this period should have been counted from the day she turned 18, or from the day she realised that she could be a stolen baby and filed a complaint, in 2012.
compensation. “I’m not interested in the money or for Vela to go to jail,” she said after the last session of the trial. “I want this to help get other closed cases reopened.” In recent years it has emerged that during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, a network of nuns and doctors at certain hospitals had taken babies from poor families or single mothers and given them to wealthy parents unable to conceive. In the recent ruling, the judges found that it has been “proved beyond

responsible for the “bogus certification of the supposed childbirth of Inés Pérez Pérez, knowing that it had not taken place.” Around 1,500 cases of suspected stolen babies have been reported in Spain as part of a scheme that is thought to have spanned decades.
examine him declared Vela fit to stand trial. Madrigal said in court that she began researching her own origins after reading an article in El Pais about stolen babies at San Ramón clinic. She had known since the age of 18 that she was adopted, but she believed
that her biological mother had given her up for adoption because she lacked the means to take care of her. Her adoptive mother, Inés Pérez, was told that the baby had been born to a woman who had an extra-marital affair while her husband was away. Pérez herself had been married for 19 years, but the couple had been unable to produce any children. Madrigal’s is the first case to reach the courts. She provided DNA evidence that Inés Pérez is not her biological mother, and a birth certificate signed by Vela stating that she is. Then she filed a complaint against her adoptive mother to help the court case along. “I told her, ‘I’m going to have to report you, mom.’ She understood that it was the best way to help me, and we agreed that if she ever changed her mind, I would drop the complaint,” says Madrigal. Inés Pérez passed away in December 2016, at age 93. “She never believed that women had been lied to, or that babies were stolen, but she wanted to help me find my origins. She was told that the biological mother was a married woman who’d had an affair.” Speaking earlier this year, Madrigal admitted that while she would like to see Vela convicted, she has no particular desire to see him behind bars. “What I would like is for him to tell the truth, so that those mothers can tell their children, ‘I did not abandon you’ and for those children to know that they were not abandoned.”

BARKINSIDE DOGS ARE WINNERS
Everyone’s a winner
Fun and delightful chaos at the park in La Romana where 57 dogs entered the Barkinside Annual Dog Show last week. There were stalls selling goodies and food and of course the inevitable raffle and an auction. Over 100 dog owners and dog lovers from all over the area came to show off their dogs, many of which had originally been adopted from Barkinside. Children from Kings College in Alicante also came to join in the fun by looking after and showing several of the dogs that are currently available for adoption. Danny Castillo not only judged the classes but also gave a demonstration with his wonderful assistance dog Voltio. This included Voltio opening drawers to fetch items for his owner and also opening the fridge to take out fruit and water. Danny had a difficult job to judge the competition with so many dogs, all of whom are the best and absolute winners

Finca Villamartin Finca Villamartin has been through a tough time recently, with two muchloved horses needing to be put to asleep. Alma was the grandma at the Finca, she was suffering from arthritis, and needed so much medication that most of the time she couldn't stand up herself. Despite this she had a great retirement for three years at Finca Villamartin with lots of of love and care. The little horse, called Mona was also put to sleep. She was neglected by her owners, she hardly saw any light and when she came to the Finca her hooves were so long even the vet was amazed. The team of volunteers, much to their heartbreak were unable help to help
in their owners' eyes. He made his decisions and chose winners in each of the categories. However the big winner of the day was the podenco Dakota, affectionately called Ducky. Not only did she win Prettiest Bitch, she then went on to win Best in Show. However more importantly, she also found her forever home with Keeley Poole and Sharon Healey – and there were tears all round. The day raised Euro 1,015 for Barkinside, the animal rescue and sanctuary based between La Romana and Novelda. If you would like to give a dog a home, or foster or sponsor an abandoned dog, please visit: www.Barkinside.es or if you feel you could host a fund raising event please call Jacquie on 697 122 883. All donations of money or items to sell at their boot fair, or towels and bowls for the dogs, would be gratefully received.
Butterfly Children benefit from fundraiser Another fantastic fundraising night raised a record-breaking €7,036.14 at The IX Butterfly Charity Ball in aid of The Butterfly Children’s Charity, DEBRA. The event was held recently at La Marina Camping Resort, La Marina, organised by Mary Chambers and Sue Rogers. The glittering annual event hosted by Tommy Rogers was attended by 200 guests and they enjoyed a pool-side Cava reception followed by a threecourse meal in the La Marina Restaurant and top entertainment courtesy of VJK. The Butterfly Children Charity has been supporting EB families for 25 years and was honoured this year to have Diego and his family attending the event. Diego is a 9-year-old boy with EB a devastating condition. Along with Tommy Rogers, Diego helped raise the amazing amount. His personality won over the crowd and was key to encouraging people to donate more and more. There were three winners on the
Lucky Numbers competition, who won €50 each, they were: Sue Rogers, Carol Barkway and Ann Stobo and Sue and Carol kindly donated half of their winnings back to the charity. The main prize of the evening was €250 in vouchers for Zenia Boulevard, and was won by Kim and Roger Nickolds. There were many other prizes won on the night, such as a Kindle table, travel vouchers, prizes donated by hair and beauty salons and restaurants, a golfing voucher and hampers. The auction allowed many of the guests to bid for bottles of Bollinger Champagne, green fees and buggies from La Finca Golf, Villamartin and Las Ramblas. Hotel vouchers from Sunset Beach Club, Benalmadena and the prestigious Hotel Puente Romana, Marbella were also money raising lots. Once again, this year the Golden Butterfly was a great success with 20 Butterflies available at €50 each. The guests’ generosity meant all of the golden butterflies were sold and the

winner was Tanya Taylor receiving €500. There were also numerous individual donations from the guests, all of which combined to allow the charity to raise its largest amount ever in one single event. The Butterfly Children Charity would like to thank everyone who worked extremely hard behind the scene to make this event such a success, Tommy Rogers who hosts this event every year. All the local business from La Marina down to the Costa del Sol who continue to donate wonderful prizes, Pedro and all his staff at La Marina Camping Resort for all their hard work and for looking after all of the guests; and of course all of the guests who attend the event and who gave so generously to DEBRA. Without their support the event would never have happened. Next year’s Butterfly Charity Ball will be on Friday 27th September 2019, if you would like to attend this event, please contact Mary Chambers on 616 076 072.
Mona. Her tendons, bands and bones were completely deformed and she was in a lot of pain with every step she made. It's very sad to lose animals and the only consolation is that the Finca can now home other animals in need. Because of these sad losses the vetbills at the Finca have been mounting at an alarming rate and so even more than usual every donation is welcome and much-needed, so if you can spare just 5 euros, thenplease do. You can donate directly into the charities bank account: IBAN ES 80 0075 1055 4806 0035 0496 or PayPal: happyanimalesspanien@gmail.com Or please come and support them on one of the next fundraising events:

Sam’s Campaign Family, friends and well-wishers all came together recently for a charity fun day at The Archers in Quesada, to raise money towards the “Help Bring Sam Home” campaign. Whilst working as a volunteer in Croatia, Samantha Maynard was involved in a serious incident which resulted in potentially lifethreatening injuries, including major blood loss, a brain haemorrhage, both legs broken, a broken ankle, arm and pelvis, amongst others. Luckily, Sam was insured and her insurance covered the cost of her treatment, including no less than 6 operations, but the insurance didn’t cover the one missing piece that will complete her recovery, and that is bringing Sam home. Her mother Shirley, sister Mellissa and niece Gabriella are all in Croatia to care for Sam, and the hope now is to raise enough money to bring the entire family home, where Sam can recover from her traumatic ordeal. With a charity fun day organised at The Archers, local singer, Emily Hullman started the event, explaining to everyone why they were
there and performing hit songs. Other entertainers who gave their time for free include: Shannon Campbell, Essence Dance &Fitness. There was also a variety of sideshows, games and stalls set up, with bouncy castles, games, a stall for pet bling, and the very enjoyable, “Cakes by Katherine” stall with delicious, home-baked cakes, with all proceeds going to the cause. Those unable to make the event were still involved, as Big FM broadcast live from The Archers, making it an interactive experience for everyone. With 1,340 euro raised on the day, brought up to 1,500 euro with a few money transfers direct into the account, there is no doubt that the event was a huge success and with the generous donations from everyone, including those who dedicated their time and resources, the Help Bring Sam Home appeal certainly got a boost, although there is still some way to go. For this reason the campaign is still open to donations or assistance of any kind. For more information call Paul on 699 221 177.

Celebrity Gossip
CAROL VORDERMAN, former Countdown mathematician, normally causes a stir on social media with her cheeky selfies but now has taken aim at Good Morning Britain’s presenter Piers Morgan. Carol Vorderman retweeted a post in which she admitted to calling Piers Morgan, 58, “stupid”. Taking to Twitter, the Countdown legend wrote: “Yes I did say that to @piersmorgan… because it was true!!!” with a smiley emoji. The 57-yearold tends to keep her social media fans entertained and her latest reveal did not go unnoticed. Fans quickly responded to the star as one said: “Bloody love you Vorders.” The revelation comes after Piers Morgan detailed in The Mail on Sunday exactly what had brought this about, saying how he had attended a wedding with his wife Celia. Carol and her daughter Katie were joined by the couple when the conversation turned to education. All three women attended Cambridge University and when Piers was pressed on where he had studied, he replied: “Harlow College, NCTJ Diploma in Journalism. Carol quipped “What’s it like to be the most stupid person in the group?”
STRICTLY COME DANCING stars Katya Jones and Seann Walsh appeared on It Takes Two to apologise for the kiss that caused a huge furore. But Good Morning Britain host slammed the interview as "awkward" earlier today. Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid has been vocal about her feelings on the latest Strictly Come Dancing scandal, which saw 32-year-old Seann and his Russian dance partner Katya, 29, pictured kissing outside a London pub. The pair have had enormous chemistry during their partnership on the BBC reality competition, and their latest performance to the Matrix theme tune received rave reviews from the judging panel. But outside of the series things took a downward turn as the pair were seen kissing, despite their respective others. Katya has been married to her husband and co-star Neil Jones since 2015, while Seann was dating his now-ex Rebecca Humphries for five years. 47-year-old presenter Susanna insisted the indiscretion was “just a kiss,” and “we’ve all done it haven’t we?”.
PRINCE HARRY had an “awkward” meeting with one of his ex-girlfriends while on holiday with Meghan Markle in Amsterdam, a royal source has revealed. The Duke of Sussex allegedly bumped into rumoured ex Jenna Coleman during a weekend trip to the Netherlands for the opening of the new Soho House, in what has been described as a “pretty awkward” exchange. The pair, who were linked in 2015, were reportedly reunited during breakfast at the private members’ club event, which hosted a number of celebrities including Eddie Redmayne and Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw. Harry is claimed to have ignored actress Ms Coleman - who stars in the hit ITV royal drama Victoria - and looked “uncomfortable” as he ate breakfast with new wife Meghan. Speaking to Vanity Fair, the source said: “Harry had to walk straight past Jenna to get to his and Meghan’s table. “It was pretty awkward and some of the other guests were commenting on it. “Jenna looked down while Harry looked straight ahead, while Meghan didn’t seem to notice.
AUSTIN POWERS star Verne Troyer's death was suicide, a coroner in Los Angeles has said. The US actor, best known for playing Mini-Me in the spy comedy franchise, had openly battled alcoholism and died aged 49 in April. Troyer, who was born with a form of dwarfism that stopped him growing past 2ft 8ins, spent the final three weeks of his life in hospital in Los Angeles for alcohol intoxication. Following an autopsy and further tests, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner said on Wednesday Troyer died on April 21 from the effects of alcohol. They ruled his death was a suicide. Following Troyer's death, tributes flooded in from fellow celebrities. American glamour model Carmen Electra shared a snap of the two of them on Instagram in which she can be seen holding Troyer in her arms. The Baywatch actress simply posted “R.I.P. Verne Troyer" along with the image. West Wing star Marlee Matlin took to Twitter in the wake of the news, describing him as having a "lovely smile with a caring and big heart".
Listen up, people! Gemma Collins has just been announced as one of the celebrity contestants for this year's Dancing on Ice, and it looks like we might be in for a wild ride. The TOWIE star revealed the news to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on This Morning, saying that she was hoping to "come out to 'Crazy in Love' [by] Beyoncé. I'm going for it. I'm going for this!" Of course, the GC has been on plenty of other game TV shows, including I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! (where she refused to parachute into the jungle), Celebrity Big Brother, Splash, and Celebs Go Dating. Could the Essex queen be the new ice queen? Only time will tell. As we patiently wait to see her on the rink, read on to see some of the most hilarious reactions to the news.

IMF softened its 2012 report on Spain to reduce alarm In July 2012, Spain was struggling through its third straight year of recession since the beginning of the crisis in 2008. A staff team from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) wrote a report describing the outlook for the eurozone’s fourth largest economy as “bleak.” But the final document instead used the more neutral “very difficult.” According to the records of the meeting of July 26, 2012 at which IMF officials reviewed the Spain Staff Report for the 2012 Article IV Consultation ahead of publication, the world body toned down its views on Spain in its Key Issues section and in various others parts of the report. Some members of the Executive Board criticised these changes, saying they violated the IMF’s transparency policy. But another one denied that the changes were substantial, and said they were justified so as not to rattle the markets and give material to reporters anxious to exaggerate the Fund’s message. The exchange of opinions among IMF officials shows how certain expressions in the report were softened to avoid generating even more alarm at a time when Spain was cause for great concern in Europe. The country was in the grip of a deep crisis and Brussels had approved a bailout of its banking sector only a month earlier. The risk premium – the extra yield investors demand to hold Spanish 10-year bonds rather than similar-maturity German securities –
had soared from 300 to 550 basis points, and the Bankia debacle was viewed as a threat to the entire eurozone. Some IMF board members voiced concern at the changes in the country report, records of the meeting show. “The Board insists on the importance of warning countries about the risks, but these warnings have been considerably reduced,” said Brazil’s Jose Pedro Fachada, an executive director at the IMF. This member added that, in line with the agency’s transparency policy, the only information that may be deleted is information that is not in the public domain, which was not the case here. Another executive director, Thanos Catsambas, disagreed with Fachada and said “our chairman thought the corrected version was more appropriate.”
Martin Mühleisen, director of the Strategy, Policy and Review Department, added that “the goal was not to change the report’s message. The text is honest about the risks.” He said that the changes were justified because of the markets’ sensitivity, and warned that the original wording could be misinterpreted by the public. One of the biggest sources of debate was the word “bleak,” originally used to describe the outlook for Spain. “I don’t want to argue over a word. But [in the change to ‘very difficult’] procedures were not followed. This does not comply with the transparency policy,” said Mühlesein. The records of the meeting also show IMF officials discussing the possibility of a full bailout for Spain, mirroring the situation in Greece, Ireland and Portugal.
Dengue fever detected in Murcia region of Spain Two cases of dengue fever have been confirmed in Spain for the first time ever – and experts say they are 'not surprised' it has put in an appearance in the country. A tropical disease passed on by mosquitoes, dengue causes high fever, general body aches and pains, and vomiting. There is no vaccine, and anyone who travels to rural areas in the tropics is normally advised to use strong fly and mosquito repellent with DEET as one of its ingredients. The confirmed cases are two Spaniards from the same family who live in Alhama, Murcia, and are said to be in their 50s or early 60s. Neither had ever travelled to a high-risk area, and it is believed the disease may have been passed on by the so-called 'tiger mosquito', which has a sting that causes much greater irritation than 'mainstream' mosquitoes. A third case, within the same family, has not been confirmed, but the patient is around the same age and has not travelled outside of Spain recently. All three were in Cádiz when they contracted the infection. Spanish health authorities say the two definite dengue cases are a man and a woman who live together in Alhama, but are not partners, and that the third possible patient lives in Madrid. In each case, tropical disease experts have confirmed the infection was caught in Spain, which has never happened before. They suspect other cases may have gone undetected in the past, since sometimes a dengue infection does not
present any symptoms. Dengue cannot be transmitted between humans, but is caused by the 'flavivirus', of which tiger mosquitoes and other mosquitoes found in the tropics are carriers. Generally, it is not lifethreatening, but is extremely unpleasant. Government health sources say a case of dengue in a patient who has not travelled to the tropics could have been transmitted in one of two ways – either a carrier mosquito became trapped on a plane or ship, or an 'ordinary' mosquito may have bitten someone already infected and then stung the people currently in hospital. The only insect in Spain able to transmit the virus is the Aedes Albopictus, or 'tiger mosquito', which were first found in the country about five years ago and are mainly concentrated on the Mediterranean.
Outbreaks In parts of neighbouring countries, such as France and Italy, with a tiger mosquito presence, sporadic cases of dengue or even Chikungunya – transmitted by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito which also carries malaria and Zika – have been confirmed in the last few years. Health authorities in Spain say local councils and regional governments take stringent measures to combat tiger mosquitoes, which are most prevalent in summer. Tropical disease experts say it is 'no surprise' to find dengue cases in Spain, but that they are likely to be rare and isolated and there is no major risk to the population. Damp areas, rural parts and anywhere near water are the most likely to house tiger mosquito nests, but only during warm periods.Anyone likely to visit these areas should use a strong insect repellent.

Spain has radioactive contamination, nuclear agency admits
The sludge considered to be least contaminated was buried in eight ditches alongside the waterway. Spain’s Nuclear Security Council (CSN) has admitted the existence of radioactive contamination in an area located between Madrid and Toledo. The agency also lists five more contaminated sites whose existence was previously known. However, none of the six zones listed by the CSN are officially classified as contaminated ground because Spain has yet to produce a formal inventory of sites affected by radioactive leaks, a full decade after a royal decree ordered one to be drafted. The CSN said that the Nuclear Energy Law needs to be amended first in order for the inventory to go ahead. And since 2008, no government has made any moves in this direction. In this legal limbo, the agency in charge of Spain’s nuclear security is simultaneously stating that these contaminated sites exist, but that they are not officially listed as such. On November 7, 1970, several dozen litres of highly radioactive liquid from a spent nuclear fuel reprocessing operation leaked from the Juan Vigón National Nuclear Energy Center, located inside Madrid’s university campus. The liquid spilled into the sewer system and reached the Manzanares river; from there it flowed to the Jarama River, to the adjoining irrigation canal, and to the Tagus River. The Franco regime, which was busy developing an atomic bomb under the Islero Project, hushed up the accident and the existence of contaminated soil, which it collected after draining the Jarama canal. The sludge considered to be least contaminated was then buried in eight ditches alongside the waterway. The legacy is still there, covered with weeds and lacking warning signs of any kind. In its release, the CSN said that the Ecological Transition Ministry is working on legal changes to facilitate the approval of an official list of contaminated sites in Spain. This, said the oversight body, will help determine the need for cleanup operations or access restrictions. “There are several sites showing radioactivity originating from human
activity,” says the release. However, the CSN says that “it is estimated that there is no significant radiological risk.” Besides the eight ditches along the Jarama, which are contaminated with cesium-137 and strontium-90, the CSN lists five other areas whose existence was already known. At the top of the list is Palomares, in southeastern Spain, where a US B-52 bomber collided in midair with a refueling plane on 17th January, 1966, dropping four hydrogen bombs. While the bombs did not explode and nobody was killed, two of them released plutonium across the land. There are two more contaminated sites on the Tinto River in Huelva province. One is located in the marshes of Mendaña, on the Tinto’s estuary, where there are high levels of cesium-137; the other site is near the spot where the Tinto meets the Odiel, and it contains significant amounts of radium226. Also on the list is El Hondón, a rural area in Cartagena (Murcia), which contains phosphate sludge and uranium-238; the last site is in the Ebro reservoir in Flix (Tarragona), where there was also phosphate sludge and uranium-238, although the CSN said that the sludge has already been removed from the site. Recently, the environmental groups Ecologistas en Acción and Jarama Vivo staged a protest in one of the ditches along the Jarama, where they placed symbolic warning signs. “A mere visual inspection of the site clearly shows how easy it is to access,” said these groups in a release. This lack of oversight has meant that, over the years, some of the earth may have been moved around, “causing a possible risk of radioactive contamination to the local population.” “Right now there is no guarantee whatsoever that this toxic waste hasn’t been moved and scattered,” said Raúl Urquiaga, of Jarama Vivo. “In fact, some of the sites are in the same spots as infrastructure such as the A-4 bypass, roads and transmission towers.”

Beaches (1988) 9.35pm - Channel 5 Hillary (Barbara Hershey) and CC (Bette Midler) meet as children vacationing in Atlantic City, N.J., and remain friends throughout the decades. As CC, a loud New Yorker, pursues a singing career, Hillary, a staid Californian, becomes a successful lawyer. Over the years, they often quarrel or compete, but, as other relationships flourish and die, the two women are always there for each other, traveling from coast to coast through the most tumultuous times.

Fresh blow to Spain’s fight against air pollution Spain’s Ministry for Ecological Transition has released air-quality data for 2017 that show a slight spike in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM10), two of the most hazardous air pollutants for human health. The Ministry notes that this minor increase could be due to meteorological fluctuations, and not necessarily to a rise in industrial or automobile emissions. But the report also underscores that Spain is failing to make progress in the fight against pollution, a fact that has already drawn a warning from the European Union. In January, the European Commission demanded to see Spain’s plans to revert the situation, and said that nine member states could face legal action over their failure to properly tackle air pollution. Shortly after coming to power in early June, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez
informed Brussels about his plans to change the country’s policy on renewable energy and climate change. Several sources within the Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) and the European Union confirmed that Spanish authorities have been in touch with the European Council, which sets the EU’s policy agenda, to discuss Spain’s new approach to environmental issues. In Spain, the biggest problems are in the cities of Madrid and Barcelona, where traffic causes high NO2 levels. The newest figures show seven urban agglomerations where NO2 is above the annual threshold, up from six in 2016. These include the
Barcelona metropolitan area, Madrid, the Corredor del Henares industrial and residential axis, the southern Madrid area, the Bajo Nervión in the Basque Country, and the city of Granada and its outlying area in Andalusia. As for particulate matter, the number of affected areas has gone from three to five: the Granada metropolitan area, Málaga on the Costa del Sol, Villanueva del Arzobispo in Jaén province, Plana de Vic in Barcelona, and Avilés in Asturias. Tropospheric ozone (O3) is also on the rise, the data shows. “Levels are high in suburban and rural areas,” says the report.

Orihuela gets new flag The Generalitat has officially approved the re-design for the municipal flag of Orihuela . The councillor for Festivities, Mariola Rocamora, has expressed his satisfaction for the move "which recognises the considerable historical and heritage value of one of the greatest symbols the Glorious Enseña del Oriol". The full Council of Orihuela approved the redesign of the historical flag, based on a technical study and report made by the official chronicler of the city of Orihuela, Don Antonio Luis Galiano, and the archaeologist municipal, Don Emilio Diz, In the study prepared by the Official Chronicler and the Municipal Archaeologist it is documented that the flag of Orihuela has existed since 1357 and that the current edition represents the shape and embroidery of the late sixteenth century, except the arms of Felipe V, which correspond to the eighteenth century. The Glorious Enseña del Oriol has to be considered as a
historical flag of immemorial use, having been used continuously and uninterruptedly since before 1837 until today. This is the main symbol of identity of the Oriolan. Its origin it had a double function as a war standard representing the city and the King and also as a festive standard. The flag has the titles ‘Real and Gloriosa’ and the privilege of bowing only before God and before the King. Every 17th July the flag is lowered or lifted by means of some cords that keep it always upright. It
is also used to honour the Captain General, who receives it and withdraws it to the National Anthem and 21 salutes of honour to commemorate the Reconquest Party of the city. It is moved in solemn procession by the Trustee Carrier of the glorious Enseña del Oriol accompanied by civil, religious and military authorities. During the rest of the year, the flag remains in the Oriol Hall of the City Council. It is considered one of the oldest flags of Spain, and is even older than the Valencian Senyera.

Cooking for Cancer As part of Breast Cancer Awareness month, this week we are featuring some recipes recommended by cancer charities such as MacMillan Cancer Support. These recipes are suitable for all the family, but are especially relevant for those currently going through treatment. Eating a balanced diet is sensible advice for anyone, but it is even more important if you’ve been diagnosed with cancer. The body needs vital nutrients and vitamins in order to keep healthy, fight infections and perform at its best. When you are already ill, eating well can help ease the symptoms of your disease, help you recover better from treatments, as well as give you more energy and help maintain a healthy body weight. However, cancer treatments can make you feel nauseous and leave you with little appetite. These recipes are easy to prepare, can be cooked in advance and frozen and are full of nutritious healthy ingredients. 1 can/carton of drained and rinsed chickpeas 1 jar of tomato passata (680g) or two cans of chopped tomatoes 3 cups of water A handful of fresh dates, chopped roughly A handful each of fresh coriander and parsley Method
MOROCCAN CHICKPEA AND VEGETABLE TAGINE
Packed with superfoods and utterly delicious, t his tagine is sure to be a healthy hit. Serves 3-4, as a main course Ingredients: 2 tbsps coconut oil 1 onion 1 large clove of garlic
1 tbsp cumin 1 tbsp coriander 1/2 tbsp paprika 1 tbsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp sumac A pinch of fresh chilli 1 tbsp fresh ginger root 2 carrots, chopped into small rounds 1 sweet potato, skin on, chopped into medium sized cubes 1 large aubergine chopped into medium sized cubes
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot, meanwhile chop the onion and garlic. Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook on a medium heat with the lid on, so they can sweat and soften. After a few minutes, add the cumin, coriander, sumac, paprika, cinnamon, chilli and ginger and toast the spices for a few minutes to bring out the flavours until aromatic. Add around 1 1/2-2 cups of water, the passata and your chopped carrots and sweet potato and simmer for approximately 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly soft when you stab them with a knife. Add the chopped aubergine and cook for a further 10 minutes, then add the chickpeas, a handful of chopped fresh dates and a handful each of chopped fresh coriander and parsley. Mix well and allow it all to combine, adding the remaining water to thin it out a little. Serve topped with more fresh herbs and some rice or quinoa on the side, and keep the leftovers in the fridge for easy weeknight meals
B U S I N E S S
BAKED SARDINES, KALE, PINE NUTS &
Serves 2, as a main course Ingredients: 250 g (8-10) fresh sardines 250 ml hot water 1 cup kale 1 tbsp raisins 1 tbsp pine nuts zest from ½ lemon, finely grated ¼ tsp sea salt ½ tsp black pepper, freshly milled 1 clove garlic, finely grated 2 tbsp panko bread crumbs 1 tbsp olive oil 1 lemon Directions:
Either get your fish monger to clean the sardines, or do it yourself by cutting a slit down the gut to remove the innards. Do it under running water, scraping away any scales that you can feel as well. Dry with paper towels and set aside. Preheat the oven to 230°C. Place the kale and raisins in the hot water, squash down to quickly blanch then drain and rinse immediately under cold running water. Squeeze any water from the kale and raisins then place onto a chopping board. Add the pine nuts to the kale and raisins and
chop roughly. Add the lemon zest, sea salt, pepper and garlic and keep chopping until everything is incorporated. Take the kale mixture and stuff each cavity of the sardines. Lay them on a greaseproof paper-lined baking tray and lightly season with sea salt and milled black pepper. Sprinkle over the panko and lightly drizzle with the olive oil. Bake in the oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until cooked through. While the sardines are baking, cut cheeks from the lemon and drizzle over a little oil on the cut side. Heat a non-stick pan over high heat, sear the cut side of the lemon until caramelised.
Serve the sardines as soon as they come out of the oven, drizzled with some caramelised lemon juice.

PARADISE POOLS AND GARDENS TEL: 698 384 449 www.paradisepoolsandgardens.net info@paradisepoolsandgardens.net SAND FILTER PROBLEMS Three key benefits of switching from sand to glass filter media include:
Traps finer particles Glass Pearls are man-made to specific geometrical shapes providing an extremely narrow particle size range of 0.6mm to 0.8mm. This creates a dense, consistent filter media bed that is capable of sieving particles down to three microns. To put it in perspective, one micron is equivalent to one millionth of a metre. Saves water Glass pearls use roughly 20 per cent less backwash water than sand filter media, saving time (and therefore energy) and using less water. For example, glass pearls require around 215 litres to successfully backwash a Filter, whereas sand needs roughly 265 litres. Safe to handle Unlike crushed glass filter media which has sharp edges, glass pearls are safe to handle because of their smooth, spherical shape. Also, if there’s ever a malfunction of the filter’s laterals causing the glass pearls flow into your pool, it's good to know they won't put swimmers at risk.

Provincial Council of Alicante invests €475,000 in Orihuela The Mayor of Orihuela, Emilio Bascuñana has announced that Orihuela is to be awarded a considerable grant for projects by the Diputacion for financially sustainable investments. With a total of €475,000 Orihuela has received the largest grant of any municipality in the province. The mayor of Orihuela said: “We must emphasize that good relationship and line of collaboration that exists between the Provincial Council and the City of Orihuela. Our municipality is complex, but the sensitivity of the County Council is evident showing interest and commitment to Orihuela." Details of the works that the City Council will undertake with this money have already been submitted to the Provincial Council, and it will be in this month of October when the request is fulfilled. After which the period for bidding, adjudication and execution of the works will open, which will be managed by the City of Orihuela. Specifically, there will be four actions to be carried out, in different projects for Orihuela city, Orihuela Costa and La Murada. On the coast three parks located in Cabo Roig, La Zenia and Punta Prima will be completely renovated at an
investment of €122,000. This renovation will consist of new floors, urban furniture, surrounding vegetation and children's play equipment and they will also adapted for the disabled. In Orihuela €52,000 will be allocated to the reform and adaptation of the Casa del Festero 'Domingo Espinosa Albertus'. "The first floor will be dedicated as an exhibition hall, open to any type of activity that may arise. The facility will also be equipped with new furniture and a modern and efficient lighting system. In addition, the accessibility of the
Investment announced
toilets will be reformed and a solution will be sought for the cafeteria that occupies some of the building, with the aim that all the spaces of the Casa del Festero are utilised. In La Murada, €240,000 will be used to redevelop and improve the accessibility of Avenida Marqués de Lacy, the main street of the village. A further €60,000 will be used to improve the lighting in the football field of La Murada, which is "something very requested by users" according to the Councillor for sport Víctor Valverde. The Mayor of Orihuela stressed that this "is a great opportunity to meet two needs that residents of La Murada have been calling for." "These works all fulfil part of the many commitments we have made with our neighbours," the Mayor emphasized. He pointed out that in this case the works have been addressed by this grant, but in other cases they will be carried out thanks to local budgets, the remnants of the City Council or the sale of plots and land. The Mayor was keen to point out that soon there will be more projects carried out throughout the municipality, emphasising the responsibility of the government team to Orihuela, its coast and its districts.

Ryanair 'not liable' for cancellation compensation
A Barcelona court has turned down a compensation claim against Ryanair by a couple whose flight to Portugal was cancelled as a result of the strikes. Noelia Godoy and Jonatan Pineda were due to flight to Oporto on 1st April, but the cabin-crew strike on Ryanair meant they were grounded and had to buy tickets with another airline. They attempted to claim €500 in expenses from the Irish low-cost carrier, but were turned down on the grounds that the strike action was 'out of the company's control'. Airlines are required under European legislation to compensate passengers a minimum of €250 for short-haul flights and €600 for medium- and long-haul flights in the event of cancellations or delays of three or more hours, as well as providing the necessary food and overnight accommodation. But where delays and cancellations are 'unforeseen' and 'beyond the control' of the airline, they are not obliged to do so – for example, in the event of extreme and unusual weather conditions, terrorist attacks or other security issues, such as a bomb scare. It is not clear whether Sra Godoy and Sr Pineda had been paid the €250 standard compensation fee, or whether their €500 claimed was in this respect. Recently, other courts in the provinces of Badajoz (Extremadura), Ourense and Pontevedra (Galicia) passed similar verdicts. Magistrate Francisco J Fernández of Barcelona's No 6 Mercantile Court defined
'extraordinary circumstances' as 'cases of political instability, weather conditions incompatible with air travel, security risks, unexpected deficiencies in air security and strikes which affect operations'. Also, Ryanair argued that it had complied with all its obligations in similar situations – advising customers by email of their flight cancellations, offering all possible alternatives such as later flights, and also that they had reimbursed the couple the cost of their travel. Earlier court verdicts had held that the Ryanair strikes were not 'circumstances beyond the control of the company' because legal industrial action is always in response to issues relating to working conditions, which are indeed within the control of the company. And it has been reported in the last few months that the Irish airline had paid around €3 million in compensation to passengers affected by strikes. The Barcelona court verdict is final and not open to appeal, but has now created some confusion for air travellers. Pre-strike compensation claims to Ryanair for delays due to technical faults or 'ordinary' seasonal weather, among other issues, have normally been paid promptly and without dispute at the requisite €250, although passengers with long delays complained the refreshment vouchers given to them by the airline were insufficient at €5 per head – not enough, in many European airports, to buy a drink as well as a sandwich.
Winter Beach success in Orihuela Costa The Councillor for Beaches, Luisa Boné has highlighted the success of the Winter Beach activities and reminded people if they haven’t yet tried them out there’s still time. The activities have been hugely popular with a high number of people taking part in the fun, water-based weekend events. Last weekend, 6th and 7th October around 200 people enjoyed diving, yoga, zumba, aqua aerobics, canoeing, paddle boarding and children’s workshops at La Caleta beach in Cabo Roig. Councillor Bone said: “It is the third week of the new season of “The Winter Beach” programme and we are now confident that we are fulfilling the expectations, given the large number of participating users arriving for some of the activities such as paddle boarding and in the introduction to diving. There are still activities every weekend and these will continue until the first weekend of December.” “The Departments for Beaches and Youth wanted to try water sports outside the summer
season, since we have a mild climate and beautiful beaches that make it more than viable to use them for most of the year.” Mar Ezcurra, Councillor for Youth, said: “We are carrying out an important commitment to these activities so that you can enjoy the beaches of Orihuela as a family throughout the year, since they are activities that cover all ages for spend a nice day and step to know the charms of our beaches.

Cruise ship in Mallorca riddled with stomach bug
A stomach bug 'doing the rounds' has led to 300 passengers on a German cruise ship being treated by doctors flown in from the central European country recently. Several passengers started throwing up during a coach trip on the island of Mallorca as part of a their luxury Mediterranean cruise on board the Aida, and by the end of the day, 300 of them were suffering vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach pains and fever. Two doctors already on board ship on the Aida's 'floating hospital' found they could not cope, and several more had to be flown in from Berlin. But even then, sick travellers were forced to queue for up to three hours to give their personal details and inform the management of their symptoms,
then wait another five hours in bed for the doctor to come round. Once there, the medics only had a few minutes to examine them, and simply gave them suppositories. Given the risk of infecting hitherto healthy passengers, those affected were ordered to stay in their berths 'until further instructions were given'. During that time, the cruise company handed out leaflets with hygiene recommendations and gave them bread and water. Numerous passengers complained about the perfunctory treatment and eight-hour wait, but medics said that as it was a virus and not a bacteria, the only way to combat it was by consuming fluids to keep the patients hydrated, and that antibiotics would not help. Their ship returned early to
Palma de Mallorca and passengers were evacuated en masse to wait for their planes home whilst the ship was disinfected. Meanwhile, several coaches were brought in to transport the passengers to a 'holding' unit in the city suburbs to wait for their airport transfers – and healthy travellers were mixed in with sick ones. But several of them refused to stay for another minute and jumped on the first plane home they could find, even though it meant extra cost. Despite the Aida company insisting the gastroenteritis outbreak was an isolated incident and that all hygiene measures had been taken, reports of another of its cruise ships being forced to dock in Rotterdam, The Netherlands two weeks earlier have come to light. On this occasion, 70 passengers were infected with gastroenteritis. In Spain, doctors treat this type of virus with anti-diarrhoea and anti-nausea medication and by administering a glucose and saline solution via intravenous drip. However, Aida passengers say they were left with 'just bread and water', which 'went straight through them'.

CANCER FIGHTING FOOD Although cancer can’t be completely fought by the plateful and no singles food can prevent the disease the right combination of foods may help make a difference. At mealtimes, strike a balance of at least twothirds plant-based foods and no more than one-third animal protein. This "New Plate" is an important cancer fighting tool, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research. Check out better and worse choices for your plate below, but bear in mind that moderation is key and a treat is once in a while not once a day.
cancer. The lower risk comes from water diluting concentrations of potential cancer-causing agents in the bladder. Also, drinking more fluids causes you to urinate more frequently. That lessens the amount of time those agents stay in contact with the bladder lining.
Fighting Colour
Cruciferous vegetables include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, and kale. These members of the cabbage family make an excellent stir fry and can really liven up a salad. But most importantly, components in these vegetables may help your body defend against cancers such as colon, breast, lung, and cervix. Lab research has been promising, but human
Cancer
The Mighty Bean Beans are so good for you that it's no surprise they may help fight cancer, too. They contain several potent phytochemicals that may protect the body's cells against damage that can lead to cancer. In the lab these substances slowed tumour growth and prevented tumours from releasing substances that damage nearby cells.
The Cabbage Family vs. Cancer
with
Fruits and vegetables are rich in cancer-fighting nutrients -- and the more colour, the more nutrients they contain. These foods can help lower your risk in a second way, too, when they help you reach and maintain a healthy body weight. Carrying extra pounds increases the risk for multiple cancers, including colon, oesophagus, and kidney cancers. Eat a variety of vegetables, especially dark green, red, and orange vegetables.
The Cancer-Fighting Breakfast Naturally occurring folate is an important B vitamin that may help protect against cancers of the colon, rectum, and breast. You can find it in abundance on the breakfast table. Fortified breakfast cereals and whole wheat products are good sources of folate. So are orange juice, melons, and strawberries.
More Folate-Rich Foods Other good sources of folate are asparagus and eggs. You can also find it in beans, sunflower seeds, and leafy green vegetables like spinach or romaine lettuce. The best way to get folate is not from a pill, but by eating enough fruits, vegetables, and enriched grain products. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should take a supplement to make sure they get enough folic acid to help prevent certain birth defects.
Pass Up the Deli Counter An occasional Reuben sandwich or hot dog at the ballpark isn't going to hurt you. But cutting back on processed meats like bologna, ham, and hot dogs will help lower your risk of colorectal and stomach cancers. Also, eating meats that have been preserved by smoking or with salt raises your exposure to chemicals that can potentially cause cancer.
Cancer-Fighting Tomatoes Whether it's the lycopene -- the pigment that gives tomatoes their red colour -- or something else isn't clear. But some studies have linked eating tomatoes to reduced risk of several
types of cancer, including prostate cancer. Studies also suggest that processed tomato products such as juice, sauce, or paste increase the cancer-fighting potential.
Tea's Anticancer Potential Even though the evidence is still spotty, tea, especially green tea, may be a strong cancer fighter. In laboratory studies, green tea has slowed or prevented the development of cancer in colon, liver, breast, and prostate cells. It also had a similar effect in lung tissue and skin. And in some longer term studies, tea was associated with lower risks for bladder, stomach, and pancreatic cancers. But more research in humans is needed before tea can be recommended as a cancer fighter.
Grapes and Cancer Grapes and grape juice, especially purple and red grapes, contain resveratrol. Resveratrol has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In laboratory studies, it has prevented the kind of damage that can trigger the cancer process in cells. There is not enough evidence to say that eating grapes or drinking grape juice or wine (or taking supplements) can prevent or treat cancer.
Limit Alcohol to Lower Cancer Risk Cancers of the mouth, throat, larynx, oesophagus, liver, and breast are all linked with drinking alcohol. Alcohol may also raise the risk for cancer of the colon and rectum. The American Cancer Society recommends limiting alcohol to no more than two drinks per day for men and one for women. Women at higher risk for breast cancer may want to talk with a doctor about what amount of alcohol, if any, is safe based on their personal risk factors.
Water and Other Fluids Can Protect Water not only quenches your thirst, but it may protect you against bladder
studies have had mixed results.
Dark Green Leafy Vegetables Dark green leafy vegetables such as mustard greens, lettuce, kale, chicory, spinach, and chard have an abundance of fiber, folate, and carotenoids. These nutrients may help protect against cancer of the mouth, larynx, pancreas, lung, skin, and stomach.
Protection from an Exotic Spice Curcumin is the main ingredient in the Indian spice turmeric and a potential cancer fighter. Lab studies show it can suppress the transformation, proliferation, and invasion of cancerous cells for a wide array of cancers. Research in humans is ongoing.
Cooking Methods Matter How you cook meat can make a difference in how big a cancer risk it poses. Frying, grilling, and broiling meats at very high temperatures causes chemicals to form that may increase cancer risk. Other cooking methods such as stewing, braising, or steaming appear to produce fewer of those chemicals. And when you do stew the meat, remember to add plenty of healthy vegetables.
A Berry Medley with a Punch Strawberries and raspberries have a phytochemical called ellagic acid. This powerful antioxidant may actually fight cancer in several ways at once, including deactivating certain cancer
causing substances and slowing the growth of cancer cells. There is not, though, enough proof yet to say it can fight cancer in humans.
Blueberries for Health The potent antioxidants in blueberries may have wide value in supporting our health, starting with cancer. Antioxidants may help fight cancer by ridding the body of free radicals before they can do their damage to cells. But more research is needed. Try topping oatmeal, cold cereal, yogurt, even salad with blueberries to boost your intake of these healthful berries.
Pass on the Sugar Sugar may not cause cancer directly. But it may displace other nutrient-rich foods that help protect against cancer. And it increases calorie counts, which contributes to overweight and obesity. Excess weight is also a cancer risk. Fruit offers a sweet alternative in a vitaminrich package.
Don't Rely on Supplements Vitamins may help protect against cancer. But that's when you get them naturally from food. Both the American Cancer Society and the American Institute for Cancer Research emphasize that getting cancerfighting nutrients from foods like nuts, fruits, and green leafy vegetables is vastly superior to getting them from supplements. Eating a healthy diet is best.

John via email asks; Hi Aunty. I now have an app called Reimage Pro which has told me that I have 175 errors and it would fix them. I installed it because my laptop was very very slow so I thought it would fix ny problems but since I installed it I cannot open any of my programs and when I can get on the internet it is so slow and I get adverts popping up every minute, I want to throw the thing in the bin. Any advice on how to get rid of it? Aunty Says; Hi John. This is one of many apps that offer to sort out computer problems but invariably make things worse by loading loads of junk and advertising malware onto your computer. The Reimage app is particularly sneaky and it seems to have a pretty nasty payload that will cause exactly these kind of problems. You may be lucky and successfully remove it via “programs and features” and then do a full scan with an updated Malwarebytes and your chosen antivirus program.

It is an official Windows 10 which I bought from Amazon UK. Aunty Says: Hi Peter. This is most likely to do with the driver software for your graphics card. Go to the hp.co.uk website and the “support” and “Software and Drivers” section where you can enter the model of your laptop and download the latest Windows 10 drivers for your graphics card. Once installed connect everything up and run the “wizard” that should auto detect everything and help set things up. Sometimes it helps to switch everything off, connect all the cables and just switch

the TV on and set it to the HDMI channel. When you start your laptop it should auto detect that you have your TV connected and configure everything for you.

What is the best thing for doing this? Aunty Says; Hello June. Touch screens are not particularly delicate as they have been designed and tested to handle all sorts of poking with sticky and greasy fingers. I use the cheap microfiber cloths from Mercadona which I slightly dampen with a mix of bottled water and a couple of drops of white vinegar. You can also add a few drops surgical alcohol onto the cloth to help sterilize the screen as you can never be sure where those fingers have been. That’s all for another week, email you questions to auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and I will see what I can do.

European Tyre Safety Ratings In 2012, the European Union made moves to implement new rules on the labelling of tyres for sale. Much like washing machines or fridges, and even properties for sale, an easy indication of the tyre´s characteristics would be displayed on the label, enabling the buyer to choose their product based on such elements as efficiency, safety rating and noise. The information on the tyre label included roll resistance, graded from “A” which is the best performance, to a “G” rating, the lower end of the scale in tests. Tyres with a higher resistance increase the workload of the engine, in turn leading to higher fuel costs. Adherence to wet surfaces was also a graded factor on the label, once again graded “A” to “G”, with “A” showing the best performance. Across the spectrum of the rating scale, the braking distance between a grade “A” and a grade “G” tyre may be as much as 18 metres, significantly reducing the chance of avoiding a collision in the event of having to brake in wet weather. Of course, driving skills and ability can also allow for more compensation by increasing the distance between you and the vehicle in front, for example. Noise level is also included in the tyre rating, again, this can be determined by other factors such as the road itself. In many places, so called “quiet tarmac” has been installed to reduce noise, but the tyre noise rating is based on an average. When buying new tyres, always check the labelling system to ensure you know the quality of the tyres to be installed on your vehicle. Poor quality may increase risk and with tyre safety, compromise if not an ideal agenda.
N332 Will be at the Expo Torrevieja This weekend, members of N332 will be at the Expo Torrevieja, answering questions and doubts about driving in Spain.
The exhibition is being held in the International Auditorium in Torrevieja, and is open from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., on Saturday 20th and Sunday
21st of October. The event is free to get in and offers a wide range of goods and services from local businesses, as well as a special area dedicated to community groups and associations. Members of N332 will be on hand throughout the weekend at our stand, kindly donated to us by the organisers. Whatever your doubt, whatever your questions, come along and ask. Or just to say hello, we are looking forward to meeting with you at the Expo Torrevieja.

Tyre Load Capacity
‘White Stick’ Variations
Knowing how to read a tyre forms part of the driving test in Spain, which is testament to how important the DGT feel the subject is. Tyres are arguably amongst the most important elements of a vehicle, and often the most abused, but sadly, they are often the most neglected. It is important that the vehicle´s tyres are of a high quality, not least because of the wear and tear they suffer, investing that little bit more in a tyre could make the difference between life and death. f you look at the side of the tyre you will see a sequence which looks something like this sample, “195 / 55 R 16 87V”. Here, “195” refers to 195 millimetres, the nominal section width of the tyre. “55” is 55%, the aspect ratio, representing the height of the tyre sidewall as a percentage of the nominal section width, i.e., in our case, 55% of 195mm. “R” stands for radial construction. “16” is the diameter of the tyre´s inner rim, this time in inches. “87” is the load capacity of the tyre. “V” indicates the maximum permitted speed. There is also the stamp indicating the week number and the year of manufacture. Keep in mind, it is quite common for the family car to be loaded up for a long journey cross country, perhaps even across the continent, and the amount of cargo, as well as passengers, often increases compared to our normal daily commute. That is why we have to ensure that the load capacity of the tyre can handle the extra weight we place in the vehicle. Overloaded vehicles quite literally weigh down on the tyres which can increase the risk of uneven wear and the dangers that poses, but also hugely increases the risk of
We might already be aware that if we see a person holding or walking carrying a long, white stick that it indicates the person has visibility problems, but did you know there are variations and different colours. Green stick - Person with visual impairment: Poor vision. White stick - Person with visual disability: Blindness.
a “blow out”, which in turn could have fatal consequences. Sadly, for the average driver, they don´t make it too simple for us to immediately see what the load capacity is, as the number in the code needs to be converted to a weight. In our example, 87V, the tyres can carry a maximum load of 545 kilograms. Keep in mind though, this is the total maximum weight of the
vehicle. It also shows why it is important that all the tyres on the vehicle match, as if they are different, the load capacity may be lower. In our example, the letter “V” refers to a maximum speed of 240 kilometres per hour, but speed limits must be maintained by the road and conditions, rather than the maximum that the tyres can endure.
Red and white striped stick: Deaf and blind person. Caution should always be exercised near pedestrians, but those using these sticks, or assistance animals, should be afforded even greater care. The sticks and dogs are used to assist them in navigating their way around their otherwise restrictive world, but they also serve as an indication to others of their particular impairment.

Gran Alacant Walking ROCKETS GOLF SOCIETY OCTOBER HOME GAME Football club Gran Alacant Walking Football club, who are now in their second year, played their third away friendly winning at Lo Crispin by 4 goals to 3. Thanks go to Doug Kemp who looks after and organisers all of our away friendlies. Below is his report from the game… The ‘oldies’ took on Lo Crispin in Algorfa, and after a goalless first quarter and also after conceding the opening goal, managed to claw their way back to a 4-3 win. It was hard fought with a few meaty challenges but our goalkeeper, Mark, and defence were immense holding the more experienced players of Lo Crispin at bay. Clive scored the winner early in the final quarter from a very narrow
angle after a poor clearance by their goalkeeper. Cherleys with two goals and Doug were the other scorers. We have a pretty reasonable pool of players now for these games and when we can get the best of them together we will be a difficult team to beat. 11 Gran Alacant players took part v Lo Crispin Mark, Malcolm, Jim, Michael, Ian, Doug, Cherleys, Sergio, Jon, Johan and Clive.
Short Journey to Vistabella for our October Home Game with a full turn out. When I left home it was thundering and lightning and of course the dreaded rain. When we got to the course the sun was coming up but the rain was light. It was manageable all through the game. Course in brilliant condition with manageable greens which showed by the scoring.

TORREVIEJA RUGBY CLUB REVIVAL KEEPS ON MARCHING FORWARD The new Rugby club Torrevieja Revival RFC is making excellent progress with regularly having 17 plus players training down on Naufragos Beach in Torrevieja for pre-season fitness training ready for our pre-season friendlies. This also included 6 new players
as well in recent weeks, of all nationalities. The club is becoming a very multi national club just as the sport should be. We have had on top of the local players training been lucky to have young Callum from Quins academy, Nick from Sale Sharks Academy and 2 Cheshire county players down training as well as a couple Irish juniors, so a great mixture of experience and new lads coming into the sport. Locally we have 2 lads who are ex Valencian academy players, 2 brothers ex La Vila and the average age of the team is in the early 20’s with few experienced old heads in there that will for sure lift the level with the players around them, also a level 2 coach/ player from Dublin, Johan joining us at the end of August. There is still plenty of time to come down and get your fitness levels up ready for the new season, we are also looking for new players, ex players, coaches, volunteers, first aiders, etc, are also most welcome.
We also have half a dozen teams booked to come out on tour from the beginning of May juniors, ladies etc as well as at least one touch rugby team. Also watch this space for some important news and reference sponsors for the club. The touch rugby is also increasing in numbers down on Guardamar beach by the Red Cross place in front of the bars and restaurants. It will be great to see
plenty more people down there training, also come down training and set up your own touch rugby team with a group of friends or local bars or business and get a league up and running with the support of the Valencian Federation. You only need 12 players per team. All being well in the next couple of weeks will be moving off the beach to our training ground and speaking to a couple of town halls to set up junior academies in conjunction with Torrevieja RC as feeders and set their own team up and receive touring teams as well. For further information about the Torrevieja rugby club come down to Zoco Market on Sunday to Dutch’s Rugby Store 692 767 242 or contact the clubs co-ordinator Tony on 670 972 366 whatsapp.

The Celts Presidents’ Prize
Las Ramblas Golf Society
What a fabulous day we had last Saturday for the Presidents’ prize at La Serena Golf. The course was in prime condition with Wayne and his team preparing a great golf challenge. Once again Bruno, Paul, Karolina and Jose looked after a full field of 88 players and guests. We really are lucky to have such a fine facility at our disposal. The Celts are
The dreaded ‘Yellow Peril’ kick started our week and only two points separated the four competing teams! With the yellow ball scoring double (unless you lost it of course) together with the next best two scores our winners were Dave Pulling, Benedicte Kruse, Nigel Price and Rod Doel with 133 points. Today’s ‘senior moment’ surely went to Mike Mahony who
flag for those who still play off the yellow tees and claiming fourth spot, was Lindsay Forbes with a nett 73 (gross 78)! Onto Friday’s team game of 6x6x6. Another ‘blue day’ with the seemingly inseparable pairing of the ‘Chuckle Brothers’ together with John Shervell and Yvonne Phipps taking first place with 86 points. It should be mentioned of course,
managed to leave three clubs greenside whilst walking off to his buggy! Onto the serious business of Wednesday’s club championship ‘Medal’ round. This was the second of three rounds with each player being judged on his/her best two score cards. After a long spell away from the winner’s spotlight Tom Hardie took the honours with a nett score of 71. Welcome back Tom! Brian Staines and Hendrick Oldenziel took Silver and Bronze (on countback) with nett 72’s. Flying the

probably unique here in Spain in that we function in nearly all respects to a traditional golf club from home. On behalf of the Junta may I heartily thank all those who supported the tournament and then attended the meal in El Prado San Miguel, we had a couple of apologies from those who could not play on the day.
The wasn’t a spare seat in the restaurant, we managed a couple more than planned and the restaurant coped with the full house. To Juan and Pilar thank you for a lovely meal and the smooth service and high quality that you are renowned for, muchos gracias. Jackie is back to her fantastic self and she had us all entertained with her version of the X
factor. John Coholan, alias Simon Cowell, had a strange looking creature on his knee with blue hair, a golden buzzer was awarded for the performance. It was a night to remember made all the more special by our fine members and guests. Well done Jackie for a great show. As is the custom, Camillus and his
team, of Philip and Terry, our competition committee, they merit a special thank you and congratulations for their sterling work. Thanks go to our treasurer Denis, he keeps all our accounts in fine order and can always be called upon in our hour of financial, mathematical need. Our secretary Susy, I better not leave her out or I will be in the dog house, she works behind the scenes and makes our lives so much easier when dealing with the federation. Thank you one and all, it really is an excellent team. The results on the day were as follows, NTP’s, Bob Smith, Tony Stafford, Alan Proudfoot, Bill Currie and Pauvla Serakova. Visitors prize went to Ian Grant with a 68. Cat IV. 1st John Coholan 73. 2nd John Walsh 74. 3rd David Lock 75. Cat III. 1st Tony Edwards 73. 2nd Kevin McBride 73. 3rd Holly Thomson 74. Cat II. 1st Terry Jones 72. 2ndJim Hayes 74. 3rd James McEnery 75. Cat I. Andy Currie 70. 2nd Gareth Conroy 71. 3rd Kenny McGeehan 72. Best gross went to Pauvla Serakova 76. 2nd overall to Clive Jenkins 68. The overall winner of the Presidents’ prize for 2018 went to John Aitchison with a 68. Last but not least can I thank Terry our Captain for his kind words regarding our Club and how the members appreciate all the work carried out by the Junta. We have a waiting list in operation at the moment for membership at La Serena, however membership of The Celts is always available. If you would like information about joining our club or entering a team in any of the federation events why not send an e-mail to johnobrienalicante@gmail.com or call 615466398.
San Miguel Golf Society at Vistabella
Your Week in Sport ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com
W
Vistabella has become a regular fixture from now on for the Society and with the new holes in play many members have really taken to the course. The threat of rain did not deter a strong turnout of more than 50, and whilst it never materialised the skies overhead had players donning jackets and waiting for the downpour for a while. Whilst buggies are not allowed on the fairways of new holes, a number of members managed to convince those in the pro-shop that they warranted a flag to allow them fairway access, the number appearing on the mown grass likely reflecting the age and health of our average member, as well as an ability to seek
sympathy, and Vistabella staff generosity. Scoring was, at it has been since the new holes opened at the course, very good, with little to choose between the category winners, as can be seen below. Today’s scores counted as the first round in the SMGS 2018/2019 Eclectic competition. So leading after Round 1 is Colin Rust, with Norman Padmore in 2nd and Mike Jordan 3rd. With 4 rounds to go much will change. Results, by Category and in reverse order were the following: Bronze Category: 5th Ron Stenhouse (36), 4th Tommy Boyle (37), 3rd Pete Cunniff (38 on CB), 2nd Mike Jordan (38 on CB) and 1st Norman Padmore with 39 points. Silver Category: 5th Mike Inns (34), 4th Ivan Hanak (35), 3rd Kev Allbright (37 on CB), 2nd Mike
Hughes (37 on CB) and, with the best score of the day on CB, Colin Rust with 39 points. Gold Category: 5th Steve Jones (36), 4th Matt Taylor (37 on CB), 3rd John Osbourne (37 on CB), 2nd Humphrey Kelleher (38 on CB) and 1st Norman Cahill, also with 38 points. Nearest the pins: Hole 2 Ron Stenhouse, Hole 7 Kyree Skarsmoen, Hole 11 Robin Eastman, and Hole 15 Steve Jones. Abacus: Colin Smith Best Guest Winner: George Brown (33 on CB) Best Guest Runner-up: Peter Devlin (33 on CB) Our thanks go to all Vistabella staff for their contribution to a very enjoyable day. Keep up to date with all SMGS matters by logging on to our website www.smgs.org or simply give Tony Smale a call on 628227687. The next three games will be at Serena, Font del Llop and Altorreal.
elcome, dear reader. Far be it from me to state the obvious, but hey. It feels like someone has to. When the ECB and whatever the board of Sri Lankan cricket are called (I am going to be bold and suggest it’s the SLCB) got together over a pint and started checking the diary for potential dates for a get-together, did nobody think to check whether it was right, slap-bang in the middle of monsoon season? Now, I am all for Eion Smith’s commendable thought process that England should continue to push towards being the best ODI team in all conditions, but really. Does this include being the best cricket team in the world when up to your knees in water? Just 15 overs were squeezed in last Wednesday in the opening ODI before rain, which was unsurprisingly forecast, took over and washed out the rest of the day. You might recall that it was, er, rain that prevented England from getting much of a warm-up in the scheduled matches before this ODI series was getting underway. On Saturday, they were at
least able to get some actual cricket played. Well, I say some actual cricket. They got a result. And it was a positive one for England, huzzah. Skipper Morgan knocked up 92 and Test captain Root 71 as England set Sri Lanka 279 to win. We got a first proper look at Olly Stone, a bowler who is
might have found an ace-in-thepack with Olly Stone. It’s not all bad then. Equally ‘not’ bad is the coverage on TalkSport. You might recall the outcry, the letters of complaint, the placards and the general calls of ‘this just is not cricket’ when it emerged that there would be NO, I repeat,
properly swift and caused the Sri Lankan openers a few nervy moments as they saw a while ball whistle past their bats, gloves and a couple of times, noses as he and Chris Woakes reduced the hosts to five down before the ball was chucked to the spinners with the message ‘hurry up lads, it’s going to rain’. The likes of Rashid, Dawson and Ali whittled through some overs with England well ahead on the DLS and managed to get the needed 20 on the board to mean the match actually counted. So, England lead 1-0 and
NO TMS this winter. You see, TalkSport chose to pay more money than the BBC for the privilege to report back the fact it is still raining. Despite everyone assuming it would be absolute rubbish, TalkSport have shocked the cricketing world by getting presenters and commentators who know what they are talking about and have kept the adverts to a minimum. And, as many people know, if you can get through airtime when it is raining without it being too excruciating, you have pretty much nailed it.

Worries from the weekend ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com
I tell you what, football is making it hard for me this week. I dare any one of you three reading this to cast your eye back over the weekend in football and come up with anything remotely
interesting that can be tenuously linked to the Premier League. See? There’s not a lot out there. Not a lot at all. If I am getting to the point where I am considering mentioning that Aaron Ramsey thought he had a contract lined up with Arsenal and now it turns out he doesn’t, I am struggling. I suppose we should mention England vs Croatia which took place on Friday night. Not that there is a great deal to report on, very little in fact. One of the few benefits of a match
involving England being played behind closed doors is that we get a night off from that massively annoying brass band. It was vaguely amusing as we made that transition from England matches being nailed on violence to being something more family friendly. Now it’s just annoying. Considering the amount of things you are not allowed to take into a football stadium
nowadays, is it too much of an ask to add brass instruments to the list? The more observant of you will notice that if I am banging on about something that wasn’t even at the match on Friday night that the actual match probably didn’t have anything worth commenting on. You’d be right. Someone could have reminded the Croatian media department that nobody was going to be at the game as they still printed a full complement
of matchday programmes which will no doubt end up being quite valuable in years to come. I’d also like to give credit to the 20 or so England fans high up on the hillside trying to catch a glimpse of the action. Sure, the view was probably quite similar to being in the top tier at the new Wembley, but still. That’s proper fan dedication or stupidity. I shall let you decide. One thing we did learn from there being no fans in the ground was what Jordan Henderson thinks of the Croatian manager. Fortunately for England, Hendo picked up a yellow card and misses the Spain game which dramatically increases the chance of England not losing that one. Another thing we learned from the match itself was that England are still pretty decent at set-pieces as they hit the woodwork twice from such situations. Firstly, Eric Dier hit the post and then Harry Kane managed to hit the bar later in the game. That’s six matches for England without a goal for the skipper now – anyone would think it is August or something. Yet, the fact that England left Split goalless was not down to Harry Kane. Oh, no. The blame for England being unable to score a goal on Friday night can only come down to one man. Sit down, Jose. I know you probably think I am about to blame you, but I am not. This one is actually on the player himself. We can knock Jose Mourinho as much as we like, and I certainly do, but what if he is actually right on a few
things? I know, shocking concept. Maybe there is a reason Marcus Rashford doesn’t start every week for Man United. Maybe it is because he
isn’t actually that good? I am not saying he will never be that good, far from it. But, right now is Marcus Rashford actually in the category labelled ‘best young players in Europe?’ The two attempted finishes against the Croats, one after another, would suggest maybe not. Before everyone jumps back on the ‘well it would help if Jose picked him because he needs time to develop’ bandwagon – Jose does pick him. He does give him chances. And Jose isn’t that stupid that if Rashford bagged a hattrick in one of these games that he would continue to drop him. Rashford plays for both United and England regularly and he gets chances to score regularly. He just doesn’t score regularly. On a slightly more positive note,
what about Jadon Sancho? If you are going to judge the rest of a player’s career based on 12 minutes of action in a meaningless UEFA Nations League match then I think we might have just found the next Messi. Of course, I am joking – but the kid does have potential and he does seem to have a very level head on his shoulders when you listen to some of the interviews he has given. But, please, oh please, can we get away from the narrative of ‘well, it’s a shame he had to go to Germany to get a chance to play!’ What if, and this is the second shocking concept of the day, what if it is actually going to be even better for a young Englishman to move abroad at a young age and learn his trade in an entirely different, potentially more challenging environment? The last two England teams that actually did anything of note before we got a free pass to the World Cup last four this summer were in 1990 and 1996. In the 1990 side, you had players who had played abroad (albeit only two or three of them) and it can only be assumed that they might have learned something that helped them. Come 1996, even more players had played abroad plus the manager and again we did alright, no? Some lovely news for Liverpool fans. Mo Salah went off injured having scored directly from a corner for Egypt. Don’t panic though, he’s been rubbish for Liverpool this season so far, hasn’t he?
La Marina Golf Society Captain's Challenge ABBEY ANGLING This week we fished our 5th round of the Winter Series on the river Segura at Murcia on the 9th October, following our week away at Arcos de la frontera for the annual Fishing Festival. The recent heavy rain has made passage under the bridge very muddy, and the match was pegged from the weir up to the bridge and the actual fishing was very much hit and miss with a few dry nets. Top spot went to Bill Reade with 14.720kgs and in second place was Mick Hill with 13.020kgs; coming in third was Lennie Bolton with 7.840kgs 1st Bill Reade with 14.720kgs fishing the pole and feeder using paste 2nd Mick Hill with 13.020kgs fishing the feeder using wafters 3rd Lennie Bolton with 7.840kgs fishing the pole and feeder using paste There are still some vacancies available for membership at the club All details are available on our website www.abbeyangling.es or from me on 965328368
RODS & REELS Our 5th round match of the Summer Championship was fished on the El Bosquet complex on the 10th October. The match had to be changed from the Embalsa de la Pedrera due to the recent heavy rain. Nearly all the pegs at the complex have now
been boarded out making it much cleaner under feet for the anglers, but the roads still need more hard core as around the back channels following heavy rain they are virtually impassable. Neil McBirnie once again taking top honours with 44.700kgs and with a dramatic drop to 12.880kgs was Tony Mac in second place and myself coming in third with 12.080kgs 1st Neil McBirnie with 44.700kgs fishing the pole and feeder using pellet 2nd Tony Macmillan with 12.880kgs fishing the feeder using pellet 3rd Terry Screen with 12.080kgs fishing the pole and feeder using pellet There are still some vacancies at the Club and if anyone is interested in joining please contact Richard Wood on 611451423 On the 30th September 18 anglers from tour local fishing clubs on the Orihuela Costa, made the long trip down to Arcos de la Frontera for our annual 5day fishing Festival We stayed in the picturesque Hotel Meson de la Molinera in the middle of Sierra Cadiz, and stayed in the chalets that are situated on the banks of the beautiful Embalsa De Arcos. The competition spanned 5days and each day encompassed a sectional event, top 4 events and a pair’s competition.

A beautiful day saw our return to BonAlba where the prizes were thinly spread amongst the participants. The Captain's Challenge was decided by adding the Stableford points accumulated on 4 allotted holes and this was won by John Brastock and his gross score of 37 points also enabled him to take the Gold award, on countback from serial NTP winner Gary Garbett who took 3 NTPS. The other went to stalwart Geoff Ettridge.
The Silver award went to Iain LYALL with 34 points. The Twos pot was shared between Gill Ludkiewski and (again) John Brastock. Our next meeting is Captain's Day at El Plantio on 25 th October when we will be playing the short course first and then 18holes on the main course. Please let Alan Craig know as soon as possible if you wish to play and if you wish to attend the dinner in the evening. Many thanks to Helena for the after match food.
