Fire causes devastation ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL suzanne@costablancapeople.com
A
fire destroyed three hectares of land belonging to an abandoned finca or farm in Guardamar on 28th July. It is thought to have started at around 8.30pm in an area of palm trees bordering on the natural lake. Fire engines were called out from Almoradí, Torrevieja and Guardamar in order to try and prevent the fire from spreading to the parkland. Altogether it is believed that 30,000 square metres of grassland, trees and vegetation was destroyed in an area of agricultural land in Guardamar del Segura. The fire stations of Torrevieja and Almoradí were alerted and immediately sent out their engines. A special forest branch of the brigade was deployed from Guardamar to quell the flames. The Guardamar branch is only available during the summer months, specifically for this kind of incident.
After less than an hour and a half the blaze was brought under control according to the information provided by the Consorcio Provincial de Bomberos. The main concern of the fire service was that the fire did not spread to the natural parks and lagunas of Torrevieja and La Mata. The risk was reduced due to the type of vegetation that was alight.
Many palm trees were destroyed in the fire along with an abandoned house and stables. The smoke generated from the fire could be seen from miles away and was visible from the N332. The cause of the fire is not yet known but there have been cases of arson in previous years in these areas. The public are reminded about the
need for care, particularly during the dry summer months. One of our readers, John Hookings, from San Luis, became aware of the fire on Friday evening when he spotted smoke in the sky. He went to the area between the Lemon tree road and the lake and took these pictures. Pictures – Courtesy of John Hookings

BITE SIZE A catalogue of closures NEWS: The company that is providing the new market bus service (line H) has delivered the figures for provision of the service during the month of May. The outstanding cost of the service, once the amount collected in fares has been deducted, was €70. The service transported a total of 2,717 people on 12th, 19th and 26th of May. The actual cost of the service every day is €300 for each bus and altogether this amounted to a cost of €1,500 across the three Fridays – one bus on the 12th, two on the 19th and 26th. The number of buses was increased after the first day due to the demand and congestion experienced. The total amount collected from the public over this period was €1,429.30. Overall the mayor, José Manuel Dolón, expressed satisfaction with the outcome which sees the town hall very little out of pocket from the new service.
Youth orchestra festival From the 30th July until the 6th August is the International Festival of Youth Orchestras. The concerts take place at 8pm in three auditoriums across the region including Adda, Teulada Moraira and Torrevieja. Torrevieja hosts the festival from the 31st July to the 4th August. The orchestras playing include: 31st July – Ajo,Amersfoorts Jeugd Orkest from Holland 1st August – Youth orchestra from Alicante 2nd August – Italian symphony orchestra 3rd August – Youth orchestra ‘Vailiev Ostrov’ from Russia Continued on page 5
There are allegations that people in office did know that licences were missing but turned a blind eye to this. It is also argued that with the number of businesses operating in a town like Torrevieja, it is very difficult to keep a check on what’s on the right side of the law and what isn’t. To keep regular checks on all the catering and business premises would require a large administration backed up by police officers with the time to do it. Without these it is difficult for the town to have systematic inspection in place. Perhaps what upsets people most about this subject is that some places are still ‘getting away with it’ whist others are not. The beach bar owners are one example of people who feel that one law is being applied to them but not to others. What is more likely is that the town hall simply hasn’t got round to checking up on everyone and, given the size of the task, are unlikely to do so any time soon. In the meantime, the question might be asked – what should be done? Should we continue to turn a blind eye and circumvent requirements or enforce them rigidly? Perhaps what most people would like to see is a middle ground between the two that allows businesses time to bring themselves into line without necessarily imposing the hefty fines that can result. However, where laws are in statute it can be difficult to apply ‘special considerations’ without breaking the law. In the meantime, the beach bars will be missed and those who usually frequent them would perhaps have preferred that the town hall had targeted somewhere else. Now, we wait with interest to see what Councillor Serrano will close next. Suzanne O’Connell

Councillor Fanny Serrano has an unfortunate name for her current position as councillor for planning. In the Spanish press much has been made of the resemblance of her surname ‘Serrano’ to ‘cerrado’ which means ‘closed’. Councillor Serrano has got a reputation during her two years in office for closing a number of public buildings and bars, restaurants and clubs. The latest closures have been three beach bars in Punta Prima, an action that has been noted by many people who enjoyed using the facilities during the summer season. The question they have raised is – why now? The majority of the premises being closed never had an opening licence in the first place. Before any building is open to the public for trading, it must have been checked and approved for use for a specified purpose. However, a number of buildings in Torrevieja do not appear to have had this piece of paper work in place but have been continuing to trade for a number of years. Two of the beach bars that were recently closed had been trading since 2012 and one of them since 2007. They had also been paying to use a terraced area without a closure order being put into place. For those who have enjoyed the use of these facilities it now seems absurd to say that they must close when they are part of the local landscape. However, the opening licences are there for a reason. The council do make money out of them and they are not cheap, but they are also a way of checking that the correct facilities are in place and that the premises are fit to use. Questions are now being asked about why so many buildings and businesses have been allowed to continue to provide services for the public without them.

BITE SIZE Torrevieja’s campaign against fake goods NEWS: Continued from page 3 4th August – this is the final gala performance This is the first time that Torrevieja has played host to the festival which is now in its fifth year. Entry to the concerts is free. The mayor, José Manuel Dolón, announced; ‘Having four international bands of such quality playing in our town is a real honour.’ Every day there will be performances by one of the bands, followed by the final gala on the Friday. During the gala there will altogether be 250 musicians on the stage. Each of the musical directors will direct one composition at this event. The Youth Orchestra of Alicante (la Orquesta de Jóvenes de Alicante) will act as the host and the three international orchestras from Holland, Russia and Italy, were selected from a possible 25 in total.
Tennis tournament A tennis tournament will be held in Torrevieja from the 5th to the 13th August. The tournament will raise money for the school for children with special needs; ALPE. The event was announced by Councillor Victor Ferrández. The town is hoping to improve on the 300 participants from last year, many of whom came from different parts of Spain as well as some from other countries including Russia, the Ukraine, Switzerland, Italy and the UK. As well as competing there will be opportunity to take part in a ‘clinic’ with Nicola Khun who was the winner of the last Roland Garros Junior Doubles and was also a finalist in the individual competition. The competition will include the categories of benjamin, alevin, infantile, junior, veteran and absolute, as well as male and female categories. Trophies will be awarded to the winner of each group and there has been an increase in the amount of prize money to be awarded. This is matched by an increase in the fee to take part which is now €18 for alevin and benjamin and €20 for the rest of the categories. Anyone wanting to take part must register before the 3rd August by emailing clubtenistorrevieja@gmail.com
Tours around the lake The tourist routes around the natural park will return this summer, Councillor Serrano told the press. Councillor Serrano is councillor for tourism and has a special interest in the natural lakes and parks of Torrevieja. The night trails were particularly popular last year during the summer season and these will also be made available again. The contract for the tours ended in May but is being reissued at an annual cost of €22,844.80. It is expected that they will continue to operate over the next four years and could possibly be extended for another two. Play equipment purchased and never used It has come to light that four lots of playground equipment were purchased for Torrevieja in 2014 at a cost of €18,000 but were never used. The equipment is Continued on page 6

ummer’s here and popular tourist areas are also being visited by those out to pedal their fake goods. In a bid to clamp down on their trade, Torrevieja town hall has launched its own campaign. The campaign is aimed at all the town’s people, informing them of the dangers involved in buying illegal goods. The image being used for this campaign was created by Francisco Javier Irigay Lorea. He won the competition that is run by the Spanish Patents and Trade Mark office along with the Association in the Defence of Branded Goods. The councillor for business in the province explained that the image; ‘is a cone of ice cream in which there turns out to be a cactus hidden.’This is meant to pay reference to the goods that people buy that have hidden faults and consequences for the purchaser. The message is that it’s not only the quality of the products that is missing but also safety checks on them too. They come without a guarantee and you can’t tell from just looking at them what they are made of. Not only that, but people are reminded that those producing these goods and taking the proceeds do so
without paying their taxes and other overheads which puts those who do at a disadvantage. ‘The goods can also be dangerous and do not fulfil environmental standards,’ added the councillor. ‘Buying these rather than the actual goods restricts innovation and hinders creativity. Not only that but you are helping to finance organised crime and the exploitation of the street sellers who pedal them.’ In order to promote the campaign, posters have been put in places around the town and in La Mata and the industrial estates. 10,000 beer mats are also being produced and distributed amongst the local restaurants and bars on the beach front in three different languages. ‘The beer mats are an idea for promoting the message in establishments which are often where people are approached with these goods,’ said the councillor. The police presence will also be increased in order to help with the campaign. They will target not only the sellers but the buyers too. Suzanne O’Connell

Computing classes BITE SIZE for young people NEWS: Continued from page 5
A new course ‘Learning to programme: creating stories, games and animation with Scratch’ is to be offered at the CIAJ in Torrevieja. The Councillor for Youth in collaboration with University of Alicante are collaborating on the course which will be offered from the 7th to the 18th August for children of 12 to 16 years old. ‘It’s building on the interest that this age group has in videogames and they can begin to design their own creations,’ explained councillor for youth, Victor Ferrández. The course will be free and will take place in the CIAJ building by Burger King on the front. ‘It’s a pilot,’ explains Councillor Ferrández, ‘Parents have been asking for this. If it’s successful we will see if we can extend it to children of other ages.’ Councillor for Education, José Hurtado, has agreed that the benefits of this kind of activity are extensive. ‘The idea is that at an early age children will develop the computing abilities that they need for the technological world. They need to know how to read and write codes, it’s now part of a universal language.’ Hurtado would
like to see this kind of activity also extended into the schools. AMPA, parent teacher association, will be involved in helping to disseminate information about the courses. The course focuses on using Scratch which is a computer programming environment and you can find out more about it here https://scratch.mit.edu . It’s also about problem solving and finding solutions and encouraging creativity as well mathematical thinking. Scratch is online free material for children from 4 years old to 16 developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Using scratch software children can create stories, games and animations. There will be 20 places available and the workshops are aimed at young people between the ages of 12 and 16 from the 7th to the 18th August from Monday to Friday 9am until 11am in the CIAJ of Torrevieja, Paseo Juan Aparicio,5. You can register for free on http://torreviejaua.eventbrite.es Suzanne O’Connell
The councillors release information about the new courses
still kept in warehouses following the discovery that they do not have the correct safety certificates to enable them to be used in public places. However, there is some disagreement about the exact reason why the equipment has never been used. The previous Councillor for Sports and Culture, Luisma Pizana, is said to have stated that the equipment was due to be situated in local parks but then changes to local government plans following the elections in 2015 meant that this did not go ahead.
A concert in the park On the 28th July, the insects and birds joined in with two violins, a viola and violin cello from the Orquesta Sinfónica de Torrevieja in the natural park of La Mata. A selection of works were played including Händel, Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi and Corelli to provide wonderful music against the backdrop of the setting sun across the lake. The concert had been the idea of the Councillor for the environment, Fanny Serrano, and more than 100 people joined in, including the cicadas who made their own special contribution to the evening. The public were asked not to applaud after each piece in order not to disturb the wildlife in the area. It is also the prelude to the town’s next great musical event which will be the Festival Internacional de Jóvenes Orquestas. This time the venue will be the Auditorio Internacional de Torrevieja, this time without cicada accompaniment. Suzanne O’Connell
A little inspiration from the church Campoverde Church in the Anglican Chaplaincy of St Peter and St Paul has not just been improving their website, they’ve also been thinking about the other messages they send out to people and the way they do it. Following discussions they came up with the idea of having an inspirational message displayed on a sign for people to see as they pass the church. ‘We
came up with a series of inspirational messages that we thought may touch peoples’ hearts and minds as they passed the church,’ explained James McAllister from Campoverde Church. They were helped out with their idea by Barry Glazier from Designaright who designed the sign for free and this, alongside James’ carpentry skills, meant that
the signpost was soon in place. On Friday, July 28th the first sign went up and the Chaplaincy now hope that people will keep a look out for the new message in two weeks time.

New web site for Chaplaincy Malaga tops insurance The Anglican Chaplaincy of St Peter & St Paul in Torrevieja would like to announce the re-launch of their Chaplaincy website.

to provide an easy point of access for anyone who wishes either to know about the church and what we do, or those people who have need of the churches’ services whether this is for the good times such as baptisms, wedding blessings and special occasions or the sadder times such as funerals and memorial services.’ The website includes: About us – information about the Chaplaincy Our churches – an overview of the activities of the eight churches, how to find them and points of contact. This includes the times of the services. Our team – introduces Father Richard Seabrook who is the Priest in charge of the Chaplaincy and his team of retired Ministers who work across all the churches Calendar – an interactive calendar for upcoming events at all the churches I’m new – offers an easy to understand guide to what happens at church for those who are thinking of coming along perhaps for the first time Special occasions – the major services provided by the church to the community Contact us – an interactive form that can be completed if you wish to contact the church or meet with Father Richard Seabrook Funding – explains how the Chaplaincy is completely self-funded and outlines ways in which you can get involved in supporting the work of the churches Notices – weekly notices from Father Richard describing what is going on in the Chaplaincy as a whole You can now access the website at www.c-of-e-torrevieja.com and interact with the church at whatever level suits you. ‘Everyone is welcome,’ explains Father Richard, ‘and our new website means that everyone now has the opportunity to find out what is going on at their local churches throughout this part of Spain.’ As well as accessing through the website you can find out more about the chaplaincy through its Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/anglicantorr evieja/ or contact Maggie Dew on 966762264 or 693513678 or e-mail maggieruthdew@hotmail.com for further information.

fraud across Spain
Malaga is the Spanish province with the highest rate of insurance fraud attempts. Last year, it recorded around 22,500 attempts at insurance fraud. According to Unespa, a business association that groups insurance companies in Spain, Malaga has 1,379 cases of known fraud attempts per 100,000 inhabitants. It is far more than second-placed Alicante which has 927, followed by A Coruña’s 855 and Murcia’s 853. Last year, Malaga recorded around 22,500 attempts at insurance fraud, most of them related to personal, health or accident insurance claims, which totalled about 14,000. These were followed by car insurance, with 5,700 claims, and finally the other various insurances (home, trade and civil liability), which were about 2,800 claims. According to the head of Prevention and Fraud Prevention of Unespa, Miguel Ángel Vázquez, Malaga is the only province that rises above the thousand
attempts mark of fraud per 100,000 inhabitants. According to Vázquez, the bad economic situation following the crash led to an increase in the occasional fraud as people found themselves in desperate situations and tried desperate measures. Fraud attempts related to the home and claims of small robberies were the most common. The head of Unespa does not believe that there is a geographical pattern in terms of the most fraudulent territories in Spain. “It is quite difficult to define the reasons why a province has more attempts, whether it has to do with the profile of the insured, their economic activity that or the presence of certain sectors … I do not think that within Spain there is one society more defrauding than another,” he said.

Cliff cleaning along Orihuela Costa The Councillor for the Environment, Miguel Angel Fernandez, has announced the start of the works programme for cleaning of the cliff areas along the coast. The initiative starts at Aguamarina and they should be finished in a few days. Once they are finished the specialist crew will move on to clean the steep cliff face areas of the beach at La
Caleta in Cabo Roig. The programmes will last approximately one week and consists of the removal of plastics, papers and other materials which are littered across these areas. The work is being carried out with ropes, anchors, specialist equipment and the safety measures necessary due to the difficulty in accessing the cliff
faces. The Councillor said: “We are acting in areas of our environment that accumulated rubbish and needed to take action as soon as possible. We are also asking residents to help us keep the environment clean, it is vital that we all protect and care for it.�

Drunk British hens escorted off Alicante flight A group of women off on a hen weekend was dragged off a Ryanair plane by the National Police for ‘behaving like animals’, in the words of other passengers. The six British girls, who appeared to be in their late 20s, were already tipsy when they boarded the flight at Liverpool airport and spent the flight drinking copious amounts of vodka, shouting, swearing and using sexually-explicit language, and even ended up fighting in
crew and the pilots made the decision to continue the flight to its destination, Alicante, but called the police just before landing. Officers were waiting on the runway to frogmarch the women out. After landing, and before the seatbelt signs had gone off, they were already up and dragging their hand luggage from the overhead compartments, continuing to yell and swear. Other travellers booed
the aisle. Passengers described their behaviour as ‘unacceptable’ and ‘vile’, saying the women were ‘a drunken mess’ and had been ‘acting like creatures’. Ryanair cabin
at them as desperate cabin crew tried as politely as possible to make them sit down. When the police came and the women were eventually taken off the aircraft as
crew told them to ‘get out’, passengers cheered and clapped at staff and one little girl was even heard shouting, “¡Hasta luego!” But the raucous group, far from showing remorse for putting travellers through what some of them called ‘the worst flight they had ever been on’, was actually proud of their behaviour. One of them, identified as Emma Yates, wrote on Facebook: “Only us that can get escorted of [sic] plane by the Spanish police.” She also posted the status update, in these exact words: “Yes we was [sic] drunk. Yes we was [sic] embarrassed but eh a group of girls on holiday having fun...so wot not a***d bout wot people think or say!! Like u aint never done it!!” Whilst other travellers on the flight felt it would have served the women right if they had been emergency-landed and returned home to Liverpool, they did in fact make it to their Benidorm hotel for their hen weekend and proudly posted selfies lying by the swimming pool with captions such as, ‘steaming!’ and ‘OMG it's boiling hot’.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE Euro drops moderately against the pound The main news from the eurozone came towards the end of the week. As markets were still awaiting inflation figures from Germany, the view that broader eurozone momentum was starting to pick up was aided by the release of good French and Spanish inflation figures. While the euro-sterling rate appeared to have stabilised somewhat, the euro ended the week slightly down against the pound. Sterling was relatively unmoved by the fact that the IMF cut the UK’s GDP growth forecast from 2% to 1.7% due to weaker activity. But midweek, second quarter GDP growth data actually edged up slightly from the previous quarter, and although it was
shown to hit 0.3% it is still weak compared to many eurozone countries. Nonetheless, it helped sterling against the euro. Earlier in the week, Trump’s proposed healthcare reforms appeared to be making some progress in Congress, although it failed to ignite any particular excitement around the dollar. The dollar is still a victim of what seems like Trump’s inability to push through key reforms, and later in the week the senate’s effort to pass a “skinny” repeal to Obamacare was voted against. As expected, there were no policy changes at the midweek Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting. While the signals around unwinding monetary stimulus were strong, the dollar still ended the week down against the euro.

Albacete forest fire Following on from our front page story, a huge forest fire that has forced fire-fighters to evacuate 17 hamlets, a holiday park and a Boy Scouts' camp when it broke out on Thursday is still raging out of control in Albacete. Rising temperatures, low humidity and high winds mean the blaze sweeping through the countryside near the town of Yeste (Albacete province) is spreading fast, having wiped out over 2,000 hectares (just under 5,000 acres), nearly a third of which was in the last 24 hours. On day one, emergency services evacuated 10 of Yeste's tied hamlets and a caravan park, and the following day, 54 Boy Scouts and 14 Scout leaders had to flee their camp site. Last night (Sunday), the rural residential clusters of Morepeche, Los Ignacios and Tejeruela were evacuated and their residents taken to Yeste town where they were given emergency accommodation, whilst those of Cañada-Morote, Casas de Francisco, Casas del Collado and El Pardal were put up for the night in the nearby town of Molinicos. Thursday's and Friday's evacuated residents and visitors
were split between Molinicos, Yeste and the town of Elche de la Sierra. The affected hamlets are small and sparsely inhabited, meaning the total number of evacuees, including the Scout camp and holiday park, is around 300 – far less than it would have been in a more built-up area. But around 150 have since been allowed to go back to their homes. Residents in Yeste and Molinicos have been warned to stay indoors and keep their doors
and windows shut due to the extreme risk of smoke inhalation, which can be very quickly fatal. At least 23 hydroplanes and helicopters are working constantly on the blaze, although they are only able to do so in daylight. Fire brigades, the Armed Forces, Civil Protection and Red Cross volunteers, and paramedics
have been brought in from elsewhere in the central region of Castilla-La Mancha, as well as the regions of Andalucía, to the south and Murcia, to the east. Yeste town hall warned last night on its Facebook site that the inferno was moving in an easterly and north-easterly direction, towards Murcia and Alicante respectively, and that the greatest danger zones were the tied hamlets of Los Collados and Peñas Coloradas. It also put out an appeal for residents in Yeste with spare rooms to offer accommodation to those forced to flee their homes in the line of the fire. As yet, the cause is not know, but the regional government of Castilla-La Mancha says it will bring a private prosecution if it turns out to be arson and the culprit is found. The blaze is so dramatic that it has even made international TV news programmes, along with a massive wildfire in the far western province of Zamora, in Castilla y León, which has wiped out 2,500 hectares (6,152 acres) and forced authorities to shut the road from Spain to Portugal.

Now that it is August it is time to sit back and relax and enjoy the fruits of your labour! Unless, of course, you want to carry on planting which is always possible. If you haven’t already done so you need to feed your plants and borders as the heat appears to definitely be turned on now! Perennials have been planted and also annuals and biennials. Hardy annual seeds look fabulous in beds and these can be done now. Don’t forget to weed, feed and mow the lawn, this needs to be kept on top of now that the hot weather is here. I don’t know about you, but I have noticed all the beautiful roses out and about in all their glory. This appears to be their month of showing off in all their splendour. There are so many different varieties, I could spend the rest of the year just talking about them. Don’t forget, go to your local nurseries and see what they have on offer. If you’re not sure about growing them from seed, they often have them with blooms on, so you can choose the ones you like. Don’t be afraid to ask them for advice on care for that particular variety that you have chosen, as care can differ from species to species.
and this is called the Kotukutuku (Fuchsia excorticata). They come in a vast array of colours and differing forms to suit almost any situation. They can be grown as a regular plant, put in hanging baskets, grown as a hedge or put into borders with other plants around them, such
as
bedding plants, shrubs and herbaceous Fuchsias perennials. They have varieties of shape in leaf Fuchsias originate from Central and South America, and flower as well as many differing colours and the majority of species anyway, but are found are truly versatile. further north and right down to Tierra del Fuego! When choosing a plant you want to look for an There are roughly 110 recognised species of Fuchsia, even symmetrical shape with green leaves mainly being shrubs that range from 8 inches to 13 coming from green stems. You don’t want the feet tall, however there is one species in New stems to be brown and woody. Check the root Zealand, which is a tree and grows up to 49 feet tall system by turning it upside down in the pot and
tapping the sides until the plant comes out, don’t force it. There should be several shoots from the lower part of the main stem. Do not get Fuchsia plants that have uneven growth, any sign of pests such as aphids, white fly or rust, dried out soil and a pot that is too small. It should be roughly 35% pot and 65% visible plant. The best fuchsia for informal hedges or as a garden shrub is Fuchsia magellanica ‘Riccartoni’, possibly because of its hardiness. If you want it as a garden plant, purely and simply, then the cultivar ‘Mrs Popple’ is a popular one. There are so many varieties, as I have already pointed out, so difficult to recommend any particular ones to you, however there are some that are suited to particular environments rather than others. So here goes: If you want to keep them in pots or small containers then the Fuchsia Heidi Ann (with Cerise/lilac flowers) and the Fuchsia Royal Velvet (with red/purple flowers) are great for this, as they are not only compact but also bushy. For hanging baskets, Fuchsia Marinka (with red flowers) and Fuchsia Pink Galore are easy to grow and have beautiful colours, which show when massed in a basket. Fuchsia Mrs Popple, apart from being good as simply a garden plant mentioned before, is good for hedges as well as bedding and comes with red, purple and violet flowers. Marc Vijverberg

Help home a young orphaned dog
Finca San Miguel de Salinas is looking for a kind-hearted person to offer a ‘forever home’ to a recently orphaned young dog called Zara. Zara and her mother Rita were
rescued by Finca volunteers after reports that they were malnourished and living on a chain. Both had marks from the chain embedded in their skin and were very shy. Luckily, after a few days they were happier and eating from the hands of the volunteers, allowing themselves to be petted and going for walks. However, Rita took a turn for the worse and despite picking up for a while and the efforts of the vet passed away. Zara is now an orphan and needs a loving home. She is just 2 years old, is a quick learner with a wonderful temperament. If you think you might have a home for Zara and would like to meet her, please can call Mona on 616792355.

New police base On the 21st July the mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón, signed a document that means the town hall can use for free the historic ‘casilla de peones camineros’ as a base for the Grupo de Refuerzo
Operativo de la Policía Local (GRO). The town hall believe that the position of the building close to the N332 makes it an ideal place for this force to be located. The GRO is the organisation that supports the local police with specific
requirements. These include security on the beaches, in the markets, on the paseos, the prevention of consumption of narcotic substances in the street, minor thefts, intervention in disturbances, preventative vehicle control points and campaigns against illegal goods. The building had originally been earmarked as a tourist office and was used as such in 2007. Work was completed costing €130,000 to improve the building but it then closed three years later. Since then the building has not been used by any public services and it is alleged that property taxes had not been paid on it either. The building will now be the headquarters of the GRO and at last be put to the public good. Suzanne O’Connell
García Tejerina, managed last week in Brussels to gain an advance payment of 70 percent for the PAC - above the 50 percent forecast - the communities permission to convert lands into
grazing for livestock. The lack of pasture is worsening, because the cost of the fodder (alfalfa or vetch) has increased because of the dryness of the plants.
Drought brings devastation Drought does not only lower water levels in reservoirs; it also seriously damages crop harvesting and Spain is now suffering. First came the torrential rains in autumn, after the freezing conditions which affected crops and now a drought which has painted the countryside yellow since the spring all more extreme because of climate change and the temperature of the planet is warming. The situation is of great concern. The reservoirs are at 50.5 percent capacity the lowest level for two decades. We have seen the warmest spring from half a century with 15.4º average temperature, according to Aemet - and summer is expected to be a degree higher than normal. The farmers are the people who suffer the consequences most. Winter cereals - which develop in the spring and are harvested between May and June - have been the most prejudiced for the lack of water - as many as 550,000 hectares have been affected.
The wheat production, according to the Agriculture ministry has fallen this year by 35.3 percent, barley by 38 percent, oats by 22.6 percent and rye by 65.3 percent. ‘At a national level, the harvest is down by 50 percent with respect to the average year and the fall is a large as 80 percent in some areas of Palencia south of Zamora, and farming land in Valladolid, explained José Roales, responsible for cereals from COAG, who blames the problem on three factors, the lack of water, three frosts at the end of April and higher temperatures. Climate change leads to no winters for some years and seeds suffering. The Duero valley, in fact, is the most affected by the drought: the capacity of its reservoirs at 44 percent is 32 percent lower than the average over the last decade and their Hydrological Confederation has restricted watering until October. From COAG, however, the scant
cereals will not affect the price of bread, given worldwide remaining stocks. A ton of wheat has reached a price of 177 € and barley 166 € . The same prices as on 30th May.
Crops affected Aside from cereals - the hectares of rape have fallen (down by 29.5 percent on this industrial harvest) many growers of maize or beet (needing water) have decided to cut down seeding, and the olive, although varies in the autumn, suffers hydraulic stress which concerns the agrarian unions. The association of municipalities for olive growers (AEMO in Spanish) laments the lack of groundwater, the record temperatures in June and July in Jaén and Córdoba - both provinces amount to 60 percent of the olive harvest - hostage to the dryness and reduced the production of olive oil by 950,000 tons to 1,150,000 tons of olive oil for the next harvest. The minister concerned, Isabel
Spain’s prime minister in unprecedented court appearance Spain’s Mariano Rajoy has become the first acting head of government to take the witness stand in court since the country returned to democracy in the late 1970s. The prime minister has been meeting with advisors to prepare for what could well be the trickiest public appearance of his two terms in office: his statements at the Gürtel corruption trial, involving a vast kickbacks-forcontracts scheme affecting Rajoy’s Popular Party (PP) since 2009. The trial began on 4th October with 37 defendants, chief among them Francisco Correa, a businessman considered the mastermind behind a
graft scheme that has already brought down senior PP figures, such as the oncepowerful party treasurer Luis Bárcenas. Observers were keen to see whether these and other individuals currently in prison will ask to be present in order to watch Rajoy reply to questions that, as a witness, he is legally bound to answer truthfully. The PP had worked hard to try to get Rajoy, 62, to provide statements via video conference, but the court decided to force him to show up in person. The reasoning was that he was not subpoenaed in connection with his position as prime minister – which would have allowed him the special privilege of handing in a written deposition – but as the former secretary general of the PP, which makes him a regular citizen. Media coverage of the historic event will match the trial for sheer scope: 312 reporters from 62 Spanish and 21 foreign news organizations are expected to show up at the Audiencia Nacional, Spain’s High Court, in San Fernando de
Henares. French, Russian and German television crews will provide images of an appearance that seems set to attract even more attention than Princess Cristina de Borbón’s own court appearance over the Noos case in early 2016. Security measures will be particularly tight. The details of Rajoy’s appearance remain open to speculation. Little is known about where he will sit inside the courtroom, although it does seem clear that he will not use the same chair as all other previous witnesses and defendants. The subpoena suggests that Rajoy will be placed somewhere between the judges and the defense attorneys. Rajoy will take questions from José Mariano Benítez de Lugo, a lawyer who heads the popular accusation brought against Rajoy by Adade, an association of progressive lawmakers and the only group to have requested testimony from the PM. A PP official, Fernando Martínez Maillo, said about Adade that “everyone
knows that it is really the Socialist Party [PSOE]. Citizens should know that when those lawyers ask questions, they will be following the dictates of the PSOE.” This part of the trial is examining the 1999-2005 period, during which companies controlled by Francisco Correa spent €245,492 on the PP’s local campaigns in the outlying Madrid towns of Pozuelo de Alarcón and Majadahonda in 2003. The questions will presumably deal with these issues.
Open to question But previous statements by other former PP secretary generals suggest that the court may also allow more general questions, such as whether the conservative party kept secret accounts recording opaque donations and other unlawful transactions. In a statement made in October, Correa (whose surname loosely translates as belt, or Gürtel in German, hence the case’s codename) said that at the height of his own power he spent
more time at PP headquarters than inside his home. He also stated that he shared business bribes with former party treasurer Luis Bárcenas in exchange for help securing contracts from the environment and public works ministries. Despite the expectation, sources at La Moncloa, the seat of government, said that the mood there is “calm and normal.” Rajoy spent the weekend with his family in Andalusia’s Doñana National Park, and he will predictably tell the court that he never had any power over the financing of election campaigns, and that he personally ordered the party to sever all ties with Correa as soon as he suspected wrongdoing by the latter. Sources who are close to the PM also noted that acting leaders have taken the witness stand in other parts of the world, most notably David Cameron and Michele Bachelet, and “neither the United Kingdom nor Chile sank into the sea as a result.”

WELCOME TO TOLEDO with Vivalia Travel Toledo was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 for its extensive cultural and monumental heritage and historical co-existence of Christian, Muslim and Jewish cultures.
Toledo is a city and municipality located in central Spain, it is the capital of the province of Toledo and the autonomous community of Castile–La Mancha. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 for its extensive cultural and monumental heritage and historical co-existence of Christian, Muslim and Jewish cultures. Toledo is known as the "Imperial City" for having been the main venue of the court of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, and as the "City of the Three Cultures", having been influenced by a historical co-existence of Christians, Muslims and Jews. Toledo has a history in the production of bladed weapons, which are now popular souvenirs of the city. Antiquity Toledo is mentioned by the Roman historian Livy as urbs parva, sed loco munita ("a small city, but fortified by location"). Roman general Marcus Fulvius Nobilior fought a battle near the city in 193 BCE against a confederation of Celtic tribes including the Vaccaei, Vettones, and Celtiberi, defeating them and capturing a king called Hilermus. At that time, Toletum was a city of the Carpetani tribe, and part of the region of Carpetania It was incorporated into the Roman Empire as a civitas stipendiaria, that is, a tributary city of non-citizens. It later achieved the status of municipium by Flavian times With this status, city officials, even of Carpetani origin, obtained Roman citizenship for public service, and the forms of Roman law and politics were increasingly adopted. At approximately this time were constructed in Toletum a Roman circus, city walls, public baths, and a municipal water supply and storage system The Roman circus in Toledo was one of the largest in Hispania. During Roman times, Toledo was never a provincial capital nor a conventus iuridicus. It started to gain importance in late antiquity. There are indications that large private houses (domus) within the city walls were enlarged, while several large villas were built north of the city through the third and fourth centuries. Games were held in the circus into the late fourth and early fifth centuries C.E., also an indication of active city life and ongoing patronage by wealthy elites. A church council was held in Toledo in the year 400 to discuss the conflict with Priscillianism. A second council of Toledo was held in 527. The Visigothic king Theudis was in Toledo in 546, where he promulgated a law. This is strong though not certain evidence that Toledo was the chief residence for Theudis. King Athanagild died in Toledo, probably in 568. Although
Theudis and Athangild based themselves in Toledo, Toledo was not yet the capital city of the Iberian peninsula, as Theudis and Athangild's power was limited in extent, the Suevi ruling Galicia and local elites dominating Lusitania, Betica, and Cantabria. Toledo under Arab rule Soon after the conquest, Musa and Tariq returned to Damascus. The Arab center of administration was placed first in Seville, then moved to Cordoba. With most of the rest of the Iberian peninsula, Toledo was ruled from Cordoba by the governor of Al-Andalus, under the ultimate notional command of the Umayyad Caliph in Damascus. Arab conquerors had often replaced former capital cities with new ones to mark the change in political power, and they did so here: "Toledo suffered a period of profound decline throughout much of the earlier centuries of Arab dominance in the peninsula."[52] The invaders were ethnically diverse, and available evidence suggests that in the area of Toledo, Berber settlement predominated over Arab. In 742 the Berbers in Al-Andalus rebelled against the Arab Omeyyad governors. They took control of the north and marched south, laying siege to Toledo. After a siege of one month the Berber troops were defeated outside Toledo by troops sent from Cordoba by the governor Abd al-Malik ibn Katan and commanded by the governor's son. However, while Ibn Katan's troops were engaged with the Berbers, his Arab allies betrayed and killed him and took over Cordoba. After the Arabs' first leader, Talama ibn Salama, died, Yusuf al-Fihri became ruler of Al-Andalus. There is evidence that Toledo retained its importance as a literary and ecclesiastical center into the middle 700s, in the Chronicle of 754, the life of Saint Ildefonsus by Cixila, and ecclesiastical letters sent from Toledo. The eighth century bishop of Toledo, Cixila, wrote a life of Saint Ildefonsus of Toledo, probably before 737. This life of Ildefonsus emphasized two episodes in the life of the bishop of Toledo. In the first episode the covering of the tomb of Saint Leocadia levitated while Ildefonsus was saying mass, with king Reccesuinth present. In the second episode Mary appears to Ildefonsus and Reccesuinth. These episodes are said to have resulted from Ildefonsus' devotion to Saint Leocadia, patroness saint of Toledo. After the fall of the Omeyyad caliphate in the early 11th century, Toledo became an independent taifa kingdom. The population of Toledo at this time was about 28 thousand, including a Jewish population estimated at 4 thousand. The Mozarab community had its own Christian bishop, and after the Christian conquest of Toledo, the city was a destination for Mozarab immigration from the Muslim south. After the death of Fernando I in 1065, the kingdom of Leon and Castilla was divided in three: the kingdoms of Galicia, Leon, and Castilla. The parias that had been paid by Toledo to Fernando I were assigned to the Kingdom of LeĂłn, which was inherited by Alfonso VI. However, in 1071, Alfonso's older brother Sancho II invaded Leon and defeated his younger brother. Alfonso VI was allowed to go into exile with al-Mamun in Toledo. Alfonso VI was in exile in Toledo approximately from June to October 1071, but after Sancho II was killed later in the same year, Alfonso left Toledo and returned to Leon. Some sources state that alMamun forced Alfonso to swear support for alMamun and his heirs before allowing him to leave.

Footwork Summer Dance raises the roof
The latest production, entitled Summer Dance, was a fine way to end a very successful school year for Footwork Dance. Playing to a packed audience at the Culture and Music Theatre in Los Montesinos and following on from their brilliant
performance during Cultural week, the students once again excelled themselves with a varied programme of dance with something for all tastes, put together by Principal Erica
Dorrill and her team. On a very warm evening, great credit must go be given to all the cast, from the youngest two year old student, to the eldest at 75 years young, they all showed great skill, dedication and a pure passion for dance. There were many outstanding performances and each item in a programme which included ballet, tap, modern, jazz, lyrical, acrobatic and aerobic dance was received enthusiastically by the audience, with the loudest cheers of the evening going to the youngest students. A great experience for the youngsters and one they will hopefully carry with them as they progress with their dance training. Along with the new routines, amongst them the new DDMIX,
there were some more traditional favourites including the athletically performed Can Can, bringing the first half to a close and the Lord of the Dance, which has become a signature dance for Footwork and raised the roof at the end of the show. As with all Footwork shows, the costumes were magnificent, music and production first class. Special mention should be made of the hard work carried out by those who helped front of house and back stage and the dressers, all contributing to make the show run smoothly and an essential part of the Footwork family. For more information about Footwork Dance and details of how to enrol for classes for the new school year starting in September, you can contact Erica on 662003823 .

Quesada Fish & Chips raises more for charity With Woody & The Peckers providing the entertainment, this event was sold out once again two weeks before the charity night. Diners enjoyed their evening, with a good meal and excellent entertainment. They dug deep in their pockets, and the event raised 1,107 euros for Torrevieja Stroke Support. TSS is the only stroke support group in Spain, and helps clients from a much
wider area than Torrevieja. As a result, it has recently changed its registered name to Stroke Association Spain, and has new premises from which to operate. It is now based at the Cultural Centre in Benijofar, and the money donated will be spent on new physiotherapy equipment. The next event at the restaurant will be held on Wednesday, 16th August to mark the 40th anniversary of the day Elvis Presley died. We will be remembering
Elvis, with a special tribute by Danny Fisher, and photographs and footage of The King. This event, will be at Quesada Fish & Chips Restaurant with tickets costing just 10 euros. These are now available from the Restaurant, The Post Room Benijofar, The Card Place in Benimar, and REDZ cafe bar in Quesada. This is bound to be another sell out and with ticket sales already high, early booking is strongly advised.
Paul Cunningham nurses A fundraising night was organised for Paul Cunningham Nurses charity, in memory of Jack Pout who sadly passed away on 13th April. This was organised by Christine GreenCoulter, held at Harry's bar in Quesada Saturday 15th July and was a huge success with volunteer musicians, Quesada Jammers and Tyrone doing a brilliant job entertaining over 120 people.
A total of 935 euros was raised and this was very generously topped up to 1000 euros by local businessman Andrew Carey. Jacks wife Tina would like to thank everyone who made donations and contributed to this total, and volunteers and staff at Harry's bar. Jack who lived close to Harry's bar, was a true gentleman and will be sadly missed.

the members for their generosity and thoughtfulness. The money was raised from a large raffle, an auction and donations in memory of Ivie Davies, a member that has recently died from cancer. His wife Diana asked that the money be spent on further cancer research, particularly the pancreatic cancer that her husband died from.

Million cars on Spain's roads have faulty tyres More than a million of the cars on Spain's roads have ‘serious defects'’ with their wheels or tyres, according to alarming figures released by the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT). Most of these defects involve treads
of less than the legal minimum of 1.6 millimetres, uneven wear on tyres due to poor suspension or incorrect wheel balancing, or tyres with the wrong pressure – too flat, or too much air. Yet the latter is a relatively easy problem to solve, with air-pumps at all petrol stations being either free of charge or as little as €1 to use, and the pressure required stated in the car handbook which, if the owner is not in possession of, can be found with a simple internet search. Headlights, fog lights, rear, brake or indicator lights have not been flagged up as a major issue with cars on Spain's roads, but the DGT strongly
recommends changing the bulbs after every 40,000 kilometres or every two years – always both together so they remain even – as they lose some of their brightness over time. Special attention should be paid to
usage, maintenance and monitoring headlights to ensure they are bright enough, but not so bright as to dazzle other road users at night, says the DGT. Lights should also be cleaned regularly to maximise their efficiency. Windscreen wipers, even if not apparently damaged, should also be replaced approximately once a year, and windscreens themselves kept clean and dent-free. Airbags and supports for cameras, sensors and other gadgets which aid driving should be regularly checked, the DGT says, and the registration plates kept clean so the number can be easily read and the car identified.
One in five vehicles does not have a valid ITV – Spain's answer to an MOT, in which the full mechanics including lights, brakes and wheels are checked. This translates to 3,661,854 of the total of 19,509,380 vehicles which underwent a test last year, or 18.77 percent of the full amount – and a 4 percent hike on figures for 2015. These data are a huge concern both for the DGT and the European Union, given that at least five people a day lose their lives on the roads in the 28 member States due to accidents caused entirely by technical faults. As a result, the EU is considering tightening up rules on technical vehicle inspections. ITV tests are compulsory for all cars of four years old or over – and for newer vehicles which have been used as hire or courtesy cars
Owners receive a letter through the post reminding them to attend an ITV station, most of which are open six days a week from around 7.00am to 10.00pm, some requiring appointments and some where drivers can simply turn up – and off-peak, after 8.30pm or during the long lunch hour, many have no queues and the test can take as little as 15 minutes. A ‘pass’ sticker is then given and must be displayed prominently on the upper left-hand corner of the windscreen, with all previous ones removed. The test typically costs around €40 to €60, depending upon region, and must be taken in the region of residence of the owner, although not necessarily in the same province. However, the financial crisis means
– every two years, and annually for all those over 10 years old.
more and more car-owners are dispensing with their ITVs, finding the
cost prohibitive – and even more so if their vehicles fail and require work before a retake. In fact, the DGT says most cars on the road without an ITV are those which failed the first time and whose owners could not afford to fix them.
Crucial However, an ITV is crucial as it is a swift and cost-effective way of detecting problems which could become expensive or dangerous if ignored, and covers many of the areas checked during a routine service in addition. A nationwide campaign has been launched with traffic police stopping cars at random to check for adequate maintenance, particularly tyres, brakes, lights, indicators and other vital parts which could lead to serious accidents if they are not in good condition. DGT data reveal that the average age of a car involved in a fatal accident was 12 years, or nine years for motorbikes and mopeds, and 13 years for lorries of 3.5 tonnes or less. And the average age of a car on Spain's roads continues to climb as the hangover from the financial crisis means fewer people able to replace older vehicles with newer ones. This translates to the risk of an accident causing death being 1.6 times that of four years ago, based on an average vehicle age of 10 to 14 years. In cars of 15 years old up to 20, the risk of a fatal crash is 2.2 times that seen in a car of less than a decade old, or 220 percent.

She’s still in their lives
Surprise party
My husband’s ex partner is still very much in the lives of his family. She is regarded as the daughter-in-law, and we even sometimes bump in to her when we visit his parents. His family have made it clear by their actions towards me that she is the more favoured. I know I shouldn’t let it bother me, but it does. My husband says it doesn’t worry him, so I should try and forget it. We even had to spend last Christmas Day with her as she was included in the festivities!
I want to arrange a surprise party for my husband’s 40th birthday this year. He has lots of friends and work colleagues, and the guest list could run to hundreds of people. The problem is, he doesn’t like any fuss, and is quite conservative. I love attention and would like to do this for him, but his sister thinks he would hate it. I am wondering whether to just do it anyway.
I would say these things probably take time, but it’s been three years now, and I think your husband has a responsibility to speak to his family if their actions are upsetting to you. It is unacceptable that you should have to spend Christmas Day with this woman! He must tell his family that they need to respect his wishes and make an effort not to have the ex there when they know you both are visiting. You could also try arranging family events at your place, or away from their houses.
You should know your husband after all these years, and if he isn’t an extravert, and his family think he might hate being the centre of attention, I would take heed and not arrange a big surprise party for him. You can still celebrate his birthday with a dinner party and make it a surprise, but just limit the number to a small group of family and close friends that he would be comfortable with.

Ever thought of becoming a landlord? Rebecca Serwotka
Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada & published author of “Moving Forward – 25 Essential Rules For Buying & Selling Real Estate Without Going Crazy.” Request your FREE copy today! With the property market as buoyant as it is, and interest rates not providing a return on your investment for as much as you’d hoped for, why not hop aboard the gravy train, and become a landlord! According to statistics carried out with Spanish property analysts, 7% of homeowners rented their property within the first three days of listing it available, together with 16% in a week and 19% within two weeks! This is incredible, and shows what a fantastic time it is to own a property to rent out right now. The Costa Blanca is still being advertised and shown to the world as THE place to be, whether buying a holiday home, settling down for the long haul or purchasing an investment to earn an income, proves that investors are extremely welcome and encouraged to accommodate all of the visiting tourists. Although prices of property remain quite stable, the foreseeable future looks bright. Who do you think are buying? The Brits! Yes, I know it seems unbelievable, especially with all that’s going on in the U.K. right now, but buyers are still wanting what we have, a safe environment to either holiday or live in with their families in the warm Spanish sun.
Buying a home here right now at the right price, as an investment to rent out will give you a steady income, and if you don’t want to deal with it yourself, there are plenty of local companies that can help you. If you are looking at investing in a rental property for a holiday let, they usually have a higher return if they’re on a community with swimming pool, if they don’t have their own private pool. However if it’s a long term rental you’re more interested in renting out, then swimming pools are not so important. Remember, when you’re looking at property as an investment, don’t look at them the same way as if you were going to be living in them. You need to put your business head on, and look at what a tenant would be looking for and not you. Tenants come and go, and can be flexible on what they’re looking for in a holiday rental. For example they don’t mind so much, if they have to share a bathroom. So if you find a suitable property that doesn’t have as many bathrooms as you were hoping for, don’t let it be any less of a contender. Like I said, you’re not buying it for you to live in. The same goes for bedrooms. If you originally thought you would prefer to own a three bedroom property, but you’ve seen the perfect one with just two bedrooms, by putting a sofa bed in the lounge, you can still offer the home to potential tenants as being able to accommodate six people. Have some spare money that you’re ready to invest? Maybe becoming a landlord is in your future! The property market is always about logic. Think about it logically as a seller, and put yourself in a buyer’s shoes… Would you pay too much? Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough!

More women than men now seeking Bear chases 200 sheep help for alcohol dependency off cliff in Spain The latest study into drug and alcohol dependency in Spain has shown that the number of women seeking help for addiction over took the number of men in 2016. The study, carried out by UNAD (Union of Drug Addiction Organisations and Associations), showed that alcohol is now the most common drug for those seeking help for addiction – 31 percent of women who sought help for addiction in 2016 did so for alcohol addiction, compared to 27 percent in the case of men. Luciano Poyatos, president of UNAD, explained in a press conference that the conclusions had been drawn from data collected from the 56,160 people helped by the 158 organisations in the network. In total, 14,342 more people sought help than during the previous year and the data collected provides a telling profile for addiction: aged
between 26 and 44, habitually using various different types of drug, seeking help primarily for addiction to alcohol. More than 80 percent of all those seeking help use a number of drugs, with cocaine being the most common one after alcohol. Cannabis is the third most common substance (used by 20 percent of those who sought help for the first time last year) and the percentage of people who consume heroine (15 percent) has gone down in comparison with previous years. The use of tranquilisers and sleeping pills is twice as high amongst women as it is amongst men, although it is still very low. The study also revealed that more than 50 percent of those seeking help for their addictions have been using drugs for over 11 years, although in the case of women, the average is closer to six years.
The difference between addiction in men and women was one of the results highlighted by Francisco Babín, the MP heading up the latest national Drug Action Plan, who said that it would form “one of the fundamental pillars” of the government's new strategy for 2017-2024. With regard to problems of nonsubstance-based addiction dealt with by the organisation, the vast majority are men (72 Percent) and over half of them between the ages of 26 and 44. Most have problems with gambling (38 percent), addiction to their mobile 'phone (19 percent), the internet (15 percent) and video games (13 percent). There are big differences between men and women in this category too: whereas women's main addiction is their mobile phone, for men it's gambling.
A bear is believed to have chased more than 200 sheep off of a cliff in Spain. The report comes after 209 sheep were found dead at the base of a cliff in the Pyrenees near the border between France and Spain. Experts believe the bear targeted one of the sheep, which sparked panic among the flock and sent the animals hurtling over a cliff to their death 200 meters below. The mass death occurred in a gorge outside the village of Lladorre in Catalonia. An investigation found a bear was to blame after analyzing hair found on one of the sheep, which belonged to a farmer in Couflens, southwestern France. Farmers have been incensed by the news, renewing the debate over the reintroduction of bears to the Pyrenees. “Pastoralism, which is a guarantor of biodiversity and of a living and welcoming mountain region, is not
compatible with the reintroduction of large predators,” said the French Confédération Paysanne (Farmers’ Federation) in a statement made following the event. “The state, which is responsible for the reintroduction of the bears, should remove the ones that are causing these problems and should not reintroduce any more bears into the area,” it said. Native Pyrenean brown bears almost died out in the 1990s due largely to being hunted by man. The first attempt to re-introduce them was in 1996 and 1997 when two females and a male were brought from Slovenia. There are now believed to be more than 35 brown bears in France and in Spain on both sides of the Pyrenees.
Bringing in the punters It’s August and the knives are out when it comes to bringing in as many customers as you can across the town’s bars, restaurants and clubs. But it’s not just promotions and free drinks on offer now. Increasingly, local clubs are using sex as a means of bringing the people in. And it’s not just women who are showing what they’ve got on the stage. Erotic dances and performances by
both men and women are becoming the norm and in a club on the Polígono Industrial estate in Torrevieja you can be entertained by ‘bare bartenders’ who invite girls to come onto the stage. There are concerns that young people below the age of 18 are entering these premises and not only drinking alcohol but are also audience to inappropriate erotic performances.
However, the establishments providing this kind of entertainment refute this, pointing out that if anyone is caught below the legal entry age then the premises receive a hefty fine. People on the doors check the identity of those entering and are there to prevent young people under the age of 18 from coming in. Competitors claim that some establishments turn a blind eye to
groups of girls who perhaps look older than they really are. If the girls are in then this attracts the boys and so the club begins to fill up. It’s early still in the summer season but clubs will need to watch their reputation, not only amongst the young people that they aim to attract, but also their competitors and the local police.

Drug gang disbanded in Torrevieja Guardia Civil police officers have disbanded a family of drug traffickers known as ‘clan Tote’. Altogether a total of six men and three women between the ages of 25 and 48 have been arrested. They have been charged with a number of drug trafficking offences as well as possession of weapons, illegal detention, obstructing the law and belonging to a criminal organisation. It isn’t the first time that this group has been dismantled and the leader of the group, called Tote, has been detained 17 times altogether and received 39 fines. As well as being involved in drug trafficking he has also been accused of having illegal weapons, obstructing the course of justice, threats, trespassing and illegal detention. Most of the crimes he has engaged in involved violence and are an indication of the nature of this dangerous gang. The Guardia Civil, aware of the crimes being committed by the gang, started the investigation in order to finally break up their
organisation and their drug dealing business. The gang has had several
distribution points for their drugs throughout the town and used different addresses in order to distribute cocaine and heroin amongst large numbers of users. They begin by handing out the drugs for free in order to make people dependent and then start to levy high prices for the contraband. Some of these users have been held against their will and threatened after testifying against the group. They have been intimidated, threatened and assaulted and forced to retract their statements. All those involved in the gang contribute to its activities under the leadership of Tote.
During the operation the police have made a total of four raids on household premises during which they have seized €1,805, weighing scales used in drug dealing , three mobile phones, two computers, tablets and four grams of cocaine. They found many items used in the preparation and selling of drugs. The raided premises were also home to some children who were surrounded by illegal substances, lived in unhygienic conditions and were frequently in contact with people using drugs. The gang has been a great danger to the town and the people living there not only because of the sale of the drugs themselves but the other activities that this leads to. Many of those dependent upon the drugs fund their habit through committing robberies and other offences. All those arrested are Spanish except for one German woman and are of gypsy origin. Six of them are currently in prison and the other three have been released on probation. Suzanne O’Connell

ITV 1 - 10pm INSIDE LONDON FIRE BRIGADE
By grim coincidence, it so happened that the makers of this documentary series had been following London’s firefighters for a year prior to the Grenfell Tower disaster. We hear first-hand accounts from emergency workers who tried to combat the Grenfell blaze and rescue those trapped. Other call-outs are highlighted, too, including an explosion at a block of flats in east London and a coach in flames on Westminster Bridge.

THE INFILTRATOR 9pm - Sky Movies Premiere Brad Furman's 80s-set crime drama sees Bryan Cranston return to the familiar world of money launderers and drug dealers... only this time he's on the side of the law. The Breaking Bad star is on chameleon-like form as Robert Mazur, the real-life federal agent who inserted himself into the intricate criminal network of Colombian kingpin Pablo Escobar. The trick was to chase the cash rather than the product, but as he moved further and further up the food chain the stakes got higher and room for error shrunk by the second. Strong support comes from John Leguizamo, Benjamin Bratt and Diane Kruger. Director: Brad Furman Stars: Bryan Cranston, Diane Kruger John Leguizamo, Amy Ryan, Jason Isaacs Joseph Gilgun, Olympia Dukakis

Barcelona train crash At least 48 people were injured, five seriously, in a train crash in Barcelona on Friday. It is believed that the breaks failed on the train and it slammed into the buffers, injuring the driver. The crash took place at the Renfe Francia station during the Friday morning rush hour. At least 18 of the injured passengers on the R2 Sur
Bars & Restaurants train from Tarragona were taken to hospitals in the city, after being tended on the platform by emergency services. “The train was breaking, the consequences could have been worse. The train was derailed because of the collision,” said Catalan councillor Josep Rull. One injured passenger who was sleeping on the train told Spanish newspaper El Pais ‘It was like an earthquake, but we were lucky.’ The Generalitat has activated its Catalan Civil Protection Plan for emergencies, with patrols of fire-fighters and police officers on the scene.

Vueling fined for last summer's disruptions Consumer authorities in the Balearic Islands have fined low-cost airline Vueling €340,000 for last year's spate of cancellations and delays. More than 191,000 passengers were left stranded with no information or any real assistance back in June and July 2016 in the Balearics alone, where two thirds of the 2,411 scheduled flights were beset with problems leading to their taking off late or not at all. This is the largest fine as yet ever imposed by consumer authorities in the region in connection with air travel. It was initially set at €320,000, but was then increased by a further €20,000 because the Catalunya-based airline ‘repeatedly ignored’ requests from government bodies to provide information about why the cancellations and delays occurred. The sanction was based upon what the consumer branch of the regional health authority considered a 'very serious fault', given that the airline had 'breached contracts signed with 191,000 passengers' and aggravated by the fact that Vueling is a market leader nationally, accounting for 29 percent of all air traffic within Spain and to and from destinations outside the country. Vueling now has a month and a half to appeal against the fine.

Bars & Restaurants Food Review
Stylish setting
Newly opened Restaurant Eden at the Citrus Centre, Playa Flamenca, is already cooking up a storm with locals and holidaymakers alike, so when we were invited to sample what is on offer we jumped at the chance. The restaurant was nearly full on the Friday evening when we arrived and had been busy all day. Slightly early we waited at the bar and once seated were offered drinks whilst we waited for the menus. The tables were spaciously laid out and the settings elegant; the twinkle of the small lights gives Eden a welcoming glow and makes for a relaxed but stylish atmosphere. The starters on offer included: Prawn cocktail, deep fried brie with cranberry dip, house salad, melon wrapped in Serrano ham and salt and pepper squid. However, I chose the Thai fishcakes with sweet chilli sauce, a particular favourite of mine and
John had the pate with red onion chutney and toast. My Thai fishcake was served with a salad garnish which was fresh and light and tangy sweet chilli sauce and was the perfect portion size for a starter. The presentation of John’s pate definitely made you want to dive in and with full sized pieces of toast the portion size was ideal for a hungry rugby player. The pate and the red onion chutney were both full of flavour and he cleaned his plate. A victim of its own success, there were no steaks left of any
Lamb shank
type or size, so my choice of a Fillet Rossini and John’s 10oz Ribeye Steak had to be re-thought. Luckily there was still a wide selection of dishes on offer including: oven-baked salmon with apricot and ginger sauce, chicken in mango and sweet chilli sauce and seafood pasta, various salads and vegetarian options such as Risotto and Pasta
Chicken in a creamy white sauce
and vegetables in creamy Cajun sauce. John opted for a chicken breast in white wine sauce and I chose the lamb shank. Both were served with gorgeous hand cut chips and we also went for a second glass of the light and crisp house white wine. The dishes were both accompanied by a generous helping of fresh carrots and broccoli. Eden serves breakfast every weekday from 8am. You can also enjoy traditional afternoon teas from 1pm and the new afternoon menu, which includes lunches and light bites, constantly changes to suit every palate. Three course evening dining is from 6pm and all cocktails are 5.50 euros. There is also a terrace bar for non-diners who want to have drinks and Eden caters for special occasions. To reserve your table call 966 395 281. Mireille Toddington

Doggy pensioners need good homes too When puppies are put up for adoption they are far more likely to get a new home than those dogs that are a bit older in the tooth. It’s understandable. An older animal is likely to incur vets
They are not from the same home, it’s just by coincidence that two of the same breed of dog arrived at the animal shelter. Councillor Morate has them at the moment but this can only be
fees and may not be as immediately ‘cute’ as the younger version. However, there are benefits too. An older dog does not need house training and is less likely to devour your slippers. They can also be incredibly grateful and the perfect companion if you are not too lively yourself. Councillor Carmen Morate has sent out a special plea for a loving home for two toy Yorkshire terriers that have been abandoned. Neither are in the prime of their lives. Jessi is 12 years old and Rosi is now eight.
a temporary arrangement and they need somewhere comfortable and loving to live for their remaining years. It is believed that they are pure in breed and, if they were pups, would cost quite a lot to buy. They
arrived at the animal shelter in a bad condition after being found on the street. They have no microchip and had matted hair and flees. You can see from the pictures that this is no longer the case. ‘They are very nice dogs who came independently,’ explains Councillor Morate. ‘It’s the same old story of abandoned animals on the street who are brought to us. I’ve already had Jessi for about four months. The trouble is dogs like this need attention, they come with a cost. People don’t want old dogs because they don’t want to pay the vet bills.’ However, Jessi has now had her teeth done and has been sterilised; Rosi still needs this doing. Both dogs are female and are only very small, weighing in at around 2.5 kilos. If you think you might be able to give one of them a home you should contact Carmen by whatsapp on 656 570 044.

W
ith the fiestas now if full swing, there is plenty to see both locally and in bars, clubs and in the streets. If you fancy a short journey then it will be well worth it to go to Timeout Bar in San Javier where the very popular Starbeats will be doing their homage to the Beatles and all that is British on Friday. Come Saturday and the tempo changes to something a bit special as Paul Michael performs his tribute to Pavarotti. Quite a feat in this weather as Paul has lost so much weight that he has to don a fat suit to complete an authentic look. On Friday it’s the turn of Rogers in Gran Alacant to hold the Diana Ross show with the very talented Celena Deans. I was lucky enough to be at one of her shows last week and can say she blew me away. If you love soul and motown, she is your girl. You can also see her in Busot on Saturday at La Gasolinera. Premiering in Quesada on Saturday is funny man and multi talented vocalist Ronnie Taylor. He will be at the Club in Quesada as Elton Ron. A unique show that will have you singing along, dancing and laughing too. You won’t have seen a show quite like this one! Also on Saturday La Pedrera Camping in Bigastro is in for a rare treat with the delicious Dee performing. This lady puts so much into her act and has invested in top quality lights and staging to make the show very professional. Not only that but she is a lovely lady to boot. Fans of Liverpool’s own Steve the Entertainer can find him at The Boston Tavern on Tuesday. Friday he is at Pablo’s International in Playa Flamenca. Saturday Steve is at the afternoon pool party at Camping Florantilles in San Miguel and then in the evening at New Yorks bar in Lo Santiago. Sunday is the turn of The Orange Bar in Entre Naranjos to dance the night away to fun loving Steve. If you are near El Raso, you have to go to the Med on Saturday to see the astonishingly talented UK guitar/ vocalist Curtis. Curtis who is on a short tour was well known when he lived in Spain as being a very special act, who not only sings and plays guitar but also has a huge list of credits including being a musical director, working with the Four Tops and being part of a stage musical in the UK. Don’t forget, bookings are now being taken for the “George and Tina Show” on September 16th at Camping Florantilles.

Cleaning awareness campaign launched The Councillor for Road Cleaning and Urban Solid Waste, Dámaso Aparicio, has given details of an awareness campaign that will be launched in the coming days with the aim of ‘involving the citizens of Orihuela in the care and cleaning of our streets’. The campaign focuses on people forming habits that favour the correct disposal of waste items and also respect the current municipal guidelines on rubbish collection. This initiative, which has the campaign slogan ‘Orihuela is part of you, do not turn your back on it’ will consist of the dissemination of information and posters throughout the city, as well as advertising in relevant media, so that the message reaches as many people as possible. The head of the Department of Road Cleaning and Solid Urban Waste said: “We remind the Oriolanos and Oriolanas that there is a specific time for the removal of household rubbish and that there is a contact phone number for people to advise the municipal crews in cases of removing bulky furniture so that they are removed quickly and efficiently.”

Quirónsalud Torrevieja signs a collaboration agreement with Euromarina The Hospital Quirónsalud Torrevieja has signed a collaboration agreement with the leading developer in the real estate sector Euromarina with the objective of establishing a framework of cooperation between both entities. Under this agreement, the hospital is committed to offer conventional checkups to each client who purchases a permanent home located in the region of La Vega Baja through the network of real estate Euromarina. In addition, this agreement offers Euromarina clients a yearly dental examination and clean or an annual blood test. The exchange of information and promotional material between both entities will be another strength of this
agreement whereby clients and patients of Euromarina and Hospital Quirónsalud Torrevieja will receive timely knowledge
about the new services of each organization. Present at the signing act was the territorial director of Quirónsalud, Francisco Fiestras, and Commercial Director of Euromarina, Patricia Eugenia Quesada. For residential tourism clients, a line of international external relations has
been planned to expedite and facilitate their access to health services, so that each client will be assigned a person who speaks their own language, to inform, advise and be available for any eventuality. In its continuous effort to renew and adapt, the hospital offers patients the highest qualified care answers, with a warm and personalized treatment, Hospital Quirónsalud Torrevieja is a reference in the private health sector of Alicante, and also counts with other centres in the province for consultations and diagnosis: Quirónsalud Medical Center Santa Pola and Quirónsalud Medical Center Orihuela. It should be remembered that the Hospital Quirónsalud Torrevieja is in agreement with the main insurance companies, both national and international.
Spanish consumer association takes Primark to task Spanish consumer authorities have warned the country's Primark stores to withdraw possible 'cancer-causing' flipflops. Spin’s Consumer and Nutrition Agency (AECOSAN) has told the country's 17 self-governed regions to be on the alert for flip-flops being sold in Primark stores which have been recalled in the UK. The British headquarters of the Irish low-cost clothing chain recently announced a certain design of men's flipflops were to be taken off the shelves due to the possible use of a chemical which in large amounts is associated with the onset of cancer. Primark UK believes the beach shoes may contain 'dangerous' levels of crisene,
an ingredient in some man-made fibres which is limited by law to one milligram (1mg) per kilo and which is believed to be present in larger quantities in the flipflops. The firm stresses that this is a one-off
situation that 'does not reflect the company's usual standards' of production. It is not thought that the flip-flops in
question have been sold in Spanish branches of Primark – which are generally present only in major cities, including Madrid, Orihuela Costa, Eleche and Murcia – but AECOSAN, part of the national health ministry run by Dolors Montserrat, has instructed all stores in Spain to withdraw them if they find them on the shelves. AECOSAN received the alert from the European Union, as have the other 27 member States, and has immediately contacted all Primark branches in Spain. Anyone who has, in fact, bought a pair of the affected flip-flops in Spain should return them immediately to obtain a refund, and inform the store they came from so that staff are able to look out for them and take them off the shelves.
Cruise passenger drop The number of cruise ship passengers visiting the Spanish Balearic Islands has fallen 11.2 percent in the first five months of 2017. Ports, during the same period of 2016, had some 441,851 tourists disembark from cruise ships in the Balearics. Across Spain, the number was also down, with a 1.34 percent drop in cruise ship passengers. In total, 1,400 cruise liners visited the country, 20 less than in the first five months of last year. Barcelona was the port with the heaviest traffic, with 770,501 passengers exploring the Catalan capital, a total of 200 cruises up until May.

Botox A safe solution to ageing
T
here have been many advances in aesthetic medicine today, with many extraordinary results. Botox is at the forefront of these advances - no anaesthesia, no scars, virtually painless, no postoperative care required and all carried out in one session. What is Botox Treatment? The name Botox® comes from the brand that sells botulinum toxin for the first time. This toxin, began its application in the 70's in the United States in different medical specialties such as ophthalmology and neurology. However, its use as medical-aesthetic treatment was at the beginning of the 21st century. Therefore, it is a product used for decades in Hospital Medicine, and therefore is considered safe and reliable. Botox Treatment Objective: reduce wrinkles of expression in the brow, forehead and crow's feet. Botulinum toxin is applied by very fine needles in order to reduce contraction of the facial muscles where they occur.
Each day there are miles of facial micro-contractions that progressively generate expression lines and wrinkles. With the passage of time, our skin minimizes its elasticity and thus, of recovery. Unfortunately, the wrinkles just settle. Thanks to Botox, we relax muscles and contractions and slow down, reducing their inevitable erosion of youthful skin. Botox, reduce wrinkles
naturally and safely The experts at Clinica Mejorate told us, “We would like to explain to you that Botox is a natural and safe medicine treatment, provided it is performed by a medical specialist. It is true that many celebrities have made excessive use of Botox, sometimes
resulting in an unnatural, even artificial aspect. However, some touches of Botox made by professionals of aesthetic medicine presents advantages.” These advantages include: • It can be applied at any time of the year. • It avoids surgery, it does not need anesthesia and it does not carry scars. • It is a simple treatment, painless, safe and effective. • It allows the patient to get back their normal routine immediately. In summary, with the treatment of Botox, applied by specialists at Clinica Mejorate results are achieved naturally and safely so you can look forward to a much younger appearance, with wrinkles and lines minimized, and with firmer and smoother skin. Remember that you can now get this promotion treatment in Clinica Mejorate for the price of €240 the complete treatment to say goodbye to wrinkles on the forehead, brow and crow's feet. Do not miss out on this opportunity.

Summer Safety With heat waves predicted and yellow weather warnings already in place, this week The Costa Blanca People has teamed up with Cruz Roja to help readers have a safe summer. 1. What amount of liquid do you drink during a normal summer day? You should drink at least one and a half litres of water a day to stay healthy, even if we aren't thirsty or don't feel hot. BENEFITS: Drinking liquids helps us to stay cool to support high temperatures and keep our body hydrated. CONSEQUENCES: Poor hydration may cause: • Headaches • Feeling weak • Dizziness and muscle cramps • Loss of consciousness and heat stroke (potentially serious situations) RECOMMENDATIONS: • Always carry a small bottle of water and drink in small sips. • Drink a glass of water every two hours, using an alarm or other type of reminder. • You can replace drinking water by other liquids, always avoiding excess caffeine, alcohol or drinks with added sugars (natural juices are good, for example). QUESTION 2 2. What kind of food do you eat in summer to beat the heat? BENEFITS: Light foods like fruits, vegetables (salads…), cold soups (tomato soup "gazpacho", melon soup…) prevent the feeling of heaviness, are easily digested and they provide water to the body. RECOMMENDATIONS: • Eat 3 pieces of fruit per day, try to avoid eating citrus fruits in the evening. • If you can, plan summer meals so they are accompanied by a cold soup or salad as a starter. QUESTION 3 3. Do you take any special measures to
avoid risks at midday, especially in the hours of highest temperatures? RECOMMENDATIONS: • It is recommended to avoid direct exposure to sunlight or outdoor exercise during the hottest time of the day (normally between noon and 18:00 hours). • In case you can't avoid being outdoors, you must: • Try to stay in shaded areas. • Always carry a small bottle of water and hydrate more frequently than at home. • Wear light clothing to feel comfortable and help remove sweat. Use caps, hats or visors to prevent the direct effect of the sun on your head. • Apply sunscreen whenever you go out to the street and especially at the hours of maximum heat. CONSEQUENCES: If the high exposure to the sun during these hours is also accompanied by high humidity, the risk of suffering negative consequences of high temperatures (headaches, cramps, heat stroke) increases. WHAT TO DO TO PREVENT THE EFFECTS OF A HEAT WAVE Heat waves affect our health negatively. 1. How does heat affect our health? When it is hot and under normal conditions, the internal thermostat of our body produces sweat, which evaporates and cools the body. However, days of intense heat force the body to try and adapt in effort to maintain normal body temperature. This effort is higher: - During the first heat wave: the body is not yet used to the high temperatures. - When the heat is continuous throughout the day and is maintained for several days. - When the humidity is very high and there is no wind. 2. What can we do to protect our health?
Health problems associated with high temperatures can be avoided with very simple measures: here are some recommendations that you can put into practice when the weather is hot. Outdoors (on the street, in the countryside… etc.): - If you have to remain outdoors, try to stay in the shade. - If you can, avoid outdoor activities during hottest hours. - If you have to perform outdoor activities during the hottest hours do not forget to rest, protect yourself from the sun and stay cool (drink liquids, keep your head cool, use a fan…). At home: - Try to stay in the coolest rooms. - Lower the blinds, lower the awnings, draw the curtains…preventing direct sun from entering. - Try to avoid using machines and devices that can produce heat during the hottest hours. - Use all the traditional measures at your disposal: fans… - If you use electric fans, remember that they do not cool the air, they cause a refreshing stream, by the rotation of their blades. In this case, it is recommended to open the windows. - Air conditioners cool the air, keeping a constant temperature and humidity in an insulated space (you have to keep windows and doors closed). In the car: - Never leave children or the elderly unattended inside a closed vehicle. - Use air conditioning (if available). If not open the windows. - If you are travelling with vulnerable people pay special attention to sudden temperature changes that may occur whilst getting in and out of the vehicle that may affect these passengers. - When on a long trip do not forget to rest
and cool down. - Carry liquids to stay hydrated. On a personal level: - Try to cool down often (having a shower or bath…). - Wear lightweight, loose-fitting and light-colored clothing. - Wear a wide-brimmed hat, caps or similar to protect the head, face, ears, temples and back of the neck. - Wear lighter, comfortable and breathable shoes. Food: -Make light meals that will help to replace salts lost by sweating (salads, fruits, vegetables, cold tomato soup "gazpacho" or juices). - Have drinks frequently (water, juices…) unless medical indication states otherwise. - Avoid alcoholic or caffeinated drinks. If you have any health problems: - Consult with your doctor about supplementary measures you can adopt if you suffer from any serious illness. - Carry on taking your medication. Do not self-medicate. - If you feel ill, stop doing what you are doing, try to stay in a cool place and ask for assistance. Heat does not affect everyone equally, some people are more vulnerable: - The elderly. - People suffering with disease or illness (cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular, respiratory, renal, neurological, diabetes, bedridden…) or those taking medication (anticholinergic, antihistamines, phenothiazine's, amphetamines, psychotropic, diuretic, beta-blockers, contraceptives…). - People with disabilities. - Overweight people. - Children. If you are going out in the sun: - Use a suitable sunscreen if you are going to be exposed to the sun; apply it
generously 30 minutes before going out; reapplying regularly. - Protect your lips with a lip balm. - Avoid photosensitive products (perfumes that contain alcohol). - Protect your eyes: use sunglasses with 100% protection against UV and blue visible radiation. WHAT DO THE BEACH WARNING FLAGS MEAN? Red Flags: The most serious of all beach warning flags, red flags warn swimmers of serious hazards in the water. One red flag means that the surf is high or there are dangerous currents, or both. It means that the water is closed to swimming, as conditions are too dangerous for even the strongest swimmers. Yellow Flags: When ocean conditions are rough, but not life-threatening, you might see a yellow flag on the beach. A yellow flag indicates potentially high surf or dangerous currents and undertows, and means that swimmers should exercise extreme caution. If there is a yellow flag, swim only near lifeguards and heed all lifeguard warnings. If you're swimming with children, or you aren't a strong swimmer yourself, wear a life jacket when swimming on yellow-flag days. Some beaches have a permanent yellow flag because of rocks, a sudden drop-off or a high population of bait fish that attracts predators. Green Flags: The ocean is always unpredictable, and even on clear and calm days, hazards still exist. Still, there are days when the threat of danger is lower than others. A green flag on the beach is an all-clear sign, indicating that it's safe to swim. Even when the flag is green, though, exercise caution in the ocean, listen to lifeguard warnings and keep a close eye on children.

Frank via email asks: Hi Aunty. An annoying problem has appeared on my monitor screen, which is a Packard Bell, approximately 2 years old. A panel shows at random times, and is independent of any control that I have tried. The info on the panel ranges from a menu consisting of various items, (e.g. brightness, contrast etc) and usually ends with a configuration adjustment which takes it upon itself to alter my settings. I have not done anything on my computer, (Windows 7 tower) which would cause this annoying screen to appear, and the cursor hides behind this panel, so I cannot delete it. Your valuable advice would be very welcome so many thanks in advance. (P.S. As I write, the panel has again appeared, but on this occasion, the language has changed from English to what I think is Polish----Help!!!) Aunty Says: Hi Frank. I had to read this a few times to get a feel of what could be causing something like this and the only thing I can come up with is a faulty mouse button or keyboard. All of the popups you have reported would be triggered and accessible via a right click of the mouse or a few taps on your keyboard. This will be difficult to test unless you have another mouse or keyboard, but maybe trying them in a different USB port may resolve this. As with any strange Windows problems you
should do a scan with Malwarebytes and your favorite antivirus program. Let me know how you get on. David via email asks: Hello Aunty, I wonder if you can help please. I use Firefox (latest version) on Windows 10 (latest updates) and until recently, if I made a spelling mistake in either Hotmail or Gmail, the error was
marked either in red or underscored (I can't remember which). About three weeks ago this just stopped and I am sure that I didn't make any changes that might have caused it. I looked in Firefox options and the checkbox to highlight errors is ticked and the language is set to English. I've tried Firefox help which wasn't any help! Spellcheck in Office Word works as normal. I don't know where to turn
now as my fingers are slightly bigger than the keys on the keyboard and I do make the occassionall (sic) mistake. Do you have any suggestions please? Aunty Says: Hello David. This could be a problem with the built in Firefox dictionary installation so go to addons.mozilla.org/firefox/languag e-tools and Install the English dictionary. If this doesn’t sort things out then maybe install another spellchecker add-on. Go to addons.mozilla.org and type SPELL into the search box and you should get the option to download and install one. Geoff via email asks: Dear Aunty, In your last article you mention "free Malwarebytes". I was advised to install the same and had a free period. When this expired I had to pay €39.99 to continue. Have I paid for something which is free? Aunty Says: Hi Geoff. You can have Malwarebytes for free but it is a slightly cut-down version and you will need to manually check your system rather than having the paid version do this automatically. I don’t think €39 is too much for such a great app and I would certainly pay for it if I wasn’t such a penny pincher. Email your questions to auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com
and I will see you all next week

The Most Popular Summer Questions Answered – Part 1 It is always the case, every summer that countless questions are raised about various articles which appear on websites, social media and, in some cases, in print. Whereas some of the information is bound to be correct, there are elements which are simply wrong or misleading. Invariably, this sort of post is intended to act as a warning and a deterrent, but we also believe that it is necessary to clear up any confusion that may arise from erroneous posts, and so, for a special feature in N332 RoadWatch magazine, the website team asked Francisco Morales, a serving Guardia Civil traffic officer and the head of the N332 Facebook team, to explain the facts in detail. Here, we have decided to serialise the questions, over the next three weeks, so that you can be fully aware of the facts. Francisco, "First of all I would like to clarify that people don’t have to believe everything they read on Facebook, it is right that they confirm the info through reliable sources. Secondly, sometimes when you read some information, you can get angry quickly if no one explains the rules or the exceptions very well so
please contact us before sharing or criticising the information. Remember, N332 have not published this post but due to the enormous doubts that many of our followers have, we are going to clarify all the rules, point by point. 1º- Driving in flip-flops. 80€ fine. FALSE! Although it can be extremely dangerous to drive in footwear such as flip flops, there is no law which is specific to the type of footwear worn. However, in the event of your driving ability being affected, or in the event of a traffic offence or an accident which could be related to the footwear, then it would be taken into consideration and then you would face a fine of 80e, this is true, but just in a few cases, so it is legal as a general rule. The DGT have issued a notice detailing this information, which you can read further on in the magazine, including a translation. You can also read a previous article we published on the N332 website, at… http://n332.es/2015/03/02/is-it-legal-ornot-to-drive-in-flip-flops-or-high-heels/

Open day at La Serena Last Saturday we celebrated our July Open Day for 2017 at La Serena. Conditions were extremely hot for golf with glorious sunshine and very high humidity. The weather did not pose a problem for one or two of our players as the scores will attest to. We must thank again the hard working green-keeping staff under the guidance of Wayne the head green keeper for the fine condition of the course. As always, the clubhouse staff of Karolina and Jean looked after all our needs and we were set for a great day of golf. Thanks to Philip, Terry and Alisdair for their organisation of the days event. Just a couple of points, I know that it is very hot at the moment, but we should not be losing 2 and 3 holes on the group in front of you, please keep up with the group in front of you. Remember your place on the course is immediately behind the group in front and not immediately in front of the group behind. Also, again we are still chasing people to return their cards as soon as they complete their round. All these minor delays add up which ultimately impacts on those who are waiting patiently for the presentation We used our monthly presentation to
donate the fine sum of 800 euro to the Elche Children’s Home which was collected on our members charity day. Roger and Jenny were there on behalf of the home to acknowledge the contribution. Roger thanked The Celts and the members for their generosity and also Bruno and La Serena for their support. Our captain Alisdair McLean was at hand to present our monthly prizes and the lucky winners were as follows; in our Crystal events, we had week one winner, Janet Bryan 43, Pauvla Serakova 40 and Holly Thomson 40. Week 2 Ian McCormack 37, Karne Neal 37 and Steve Hopkins 36. Our medal winners were, Cat II, Lynne McCormack 75 and Cat 1 Pauvla Serkava 68. 73. July medal, Cat II Lynne McCormack 61 and Cat I Terry Fitzgerald 69. A note Lynne lost over 7 shots on her return of 61. The EGA system is very brutal when needed. Down to the results on the day; NTP's were won by Terry Fitzgerald, Sam Currie, John O’Brien and our newest overseas player Becky McGeehan playing of + 1 handicap scooped three. Our visitors prize was won by Sam Currie with the best score of the day 42.
Category III,Terence Welsh 33, Jane Knight 32 and Roy Sutherland 31. Category II, Keneth McGeehan 36, John Aitchison 36 and Alan Proudfoot 34, and third Gary Hall 33. Category I, Becky McGeehan 35, Terry Fitzgerald 35 and Andy Currie 32. Second over-all went to Susan Owens with 37 points and the overall winner Gordon McCadden on 40 points. Congratulations to all the winners and to those who participated. It was great to see so many members remain for the presentation. We are playing a round of The International League in El Saler which has staged the Spanish Open. It is ranked in the top 10 courses of Europe. We have through the federation organised a bus to bring us to El Saler can you please contact me or your captain if you intend to use this free mode of transport. Once again thank you to Andres and Alberto for all their support in Valencia. We always welcome new members and guests and if you would like to play in one of our Open Days why not give me a call?

Glorious Goodwood Big Orange has the chance to be the big story at Glorious Goodwood this week but there are a whole host of reasons to follow this year's five-day festival. While the most popular horse in flat racing seeks to become the first runner to win the Goodwood Cup three years in a row, other big names are also chasing glory. From the fascinating prospect of a 'Duel on the Downs' between Ribchester and Churchill, to Winter's bid for a fourth straight Group One win of year, the meeting is filled with stellar talent. Two of the biggest prizes of the Tuesday-to-Saturday festival, the Goodwood Cup and the Nassau Stakes, have both moved slots. In changes that could catch out the unwary, the £500,000 Goodwood Cup, now upgraded to Group One status, is to be staged on the opening afternoon, not Thursday. Meanwhile, the £600,000 Nassau Stakes for fillies and mares - which is already a Group One race - has upped sticks from Saturday to take centre stage on Thursday. Officials hope the moves will boost attendance for the early part of the
fixture, sponsored for the third year by Qatar. Big Orange, the most popular horse in flat racing, will attempt to rewrite history by becoming the first horse to win the 205-year-old Goodwood Cup three times on the bounce. Record holder Double Trigger was successful three times in four years winning in 1995, 1997 and 1998. In June, the big, powerful son of the stallion Duke Of Marmalade - hence the Big Orange name - raised the Royal Ascot roof with a narrow success over Order Of St George in the Gold Cup there. Now, with jockey-of-the-moment Frankie Dettori back on board after missing Ascot because of injury, Big Orange faces up to 15 opponents in the two-mile race. A catchy name and a bold, frontrunning style have gained a wider and wider following for Big Orange, owned by businessman Bill Gredley and his son Tim. All fans know that the horse prefers drier ground conditions, so, for them, it would be 'Glorious' if Goodwood's weather could live up to its long-held nickname.
Ronaldo appears in court on tax charges
Liverpool supporters vote in favour of safe standing Liverpool supporters have voted in favour of rail seating, in an online poll run by a leading fans' group. Spirit of Shankly had an ‘emotive and sensitive’ debate on the issue before holding an open vote, and 88 percent of the 17,910 people who voted were in favour. There were 5 percent against, while the rest were undecided or wanted to know more. Liverpool have said their supporters' position on the issue is ‘uniquely complex’ because of the Hillsborough disaster, which claimed 96 lives. The requirement for all-seater stadiums in England's top flight was a response to the tragedy and government legislation would need to change for so-called safe standing to be introduced. Liverpool said they would ‘listen to fans' views’ if the regulations were ever changed. The Premier League wrote to its 20 clubs last month to assess whether
they would be interested in staging trials. SOS said the result of the vote was a “significant step given the sensitivities of the topic” in the city. Chair Jay McKenna said: “It's an incredible turnout. We aren't aware of such numbers voting before. After nine months of discussion, we have now had the vote and it will be taken as the position for Spirit of Shankly. “The size of the turnout majority means that no-one can be in any doubt that supporters have had their say and made an informed decision.” SOS said its members voted “broadly in line” with the overall outcome, but the group said the result should not be “overly celebrated”. “We say to anyone who is campaigning for this to understand sensitivities and respect the views of those who disagree,” said McKenna. “No-one wins here. This has been a mature and sensitive conversation and we have arrived at a position. Those
who have been through incredible heartache and tragedy have every right to be heard and to ask important questions about safety. It was important in our conversations to have these answered. It would be wise for that to take place elsewhere.” Debate about the issue of safe standing has grown since Celtic introduced about 3,000 rail seats at Celtic Park at the beginning of last season. Representatives from the Scottish champions and the Sports Ground Safety Authority, which oversaw regulations regarding the move to allseater stadiums, were present at the meeting held by SOS prior to the vote. SOS has discussed the issue with members since September, and has met with survivors of the Hillsborough disaster and families of those who died. West Bromwich Albion have said they would be willing to use The Hawthorns as part of a pilot scheme for safe standing.
Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has appeared at a Spanish court where he was facing allegations he evaded millions in tax. Prosecutors accuse Ronaldo, reported to be the world's highest paid athlete, of evading €14.7m ($17.3m; £13.1m) in tax. He had been expected to make a statement after the pre-trial hearing, but left without saying a word. The Real Madrid star, 32, has previously denied the allegations, saying his “conscience is clear”. Ronaldo is the latest in a string of footballers to be pursued by the Spanish tax authorities. Argentina's Lionel Messi, who plays for Barcelona, was handed a 21-month prison sentence after being found guilty of the same charge last year. Earlier this month, the court ruled he could pay €252,000 in place of jail time. However, Messi was only accused of evading €4.1m in tax, €10.6m less than Ronaldo. Ronaldo spent an hour-and-a-half giving evidence to judges at a court in the Madrid suburb of Pozuelo de Alarcón. The
media had gathered on the court steps in front of a lectern and speakers, set up by Real Madrid in anticipation of a speech by the footballer. But Ronaldo avoided journalists by arriving and leaving via an underground garage. Ronaldo had been expected to strike a ‘defiant tone’, but instead decided to go straight home, earning him a chorus of boos from the gathered press. According to prosecutors, Ronaldo allegedly took “advantage of a company structure created in 2010 to hide income generated in Spain from his image rights from tax authorities”, which was a “voluntary and conscious breach of his fiscal obligations in Spain”. Ronaldo's management has also denied the allegations. But if the case is sent to trial and he is found guilty, the Portuguese forward could face a fine of “at least €28m” and a prison sentence of three-and-a-half years, the Gestha union of experts at Spain's Inland Revenue says.

Tales from the top flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com
Now, I am sure we have all called in sick the day that we were supposed to return from holiday, haven’t we? And, to be fair, pulling a sicky has become a lot more difficult since the advent of social media. It is no longer enough to put an a husky
very well, posting a photo of him in a scarf (with his dogs, naturally) on Instagram claiming he had flu. Arsene Wenger is about the only man in North London that actually believes Sanchez will be in an Arsenal shirt when the season kicks off. The champions Chelsea are being told to concentrate on “not having a Mourinho season” according to their manager Antonio Conte. This was a delightfully unsubtle dig at Mourinho teams often spontaneously combusting the year after they win something. Conte is also determined to sabotage his rival by sending him Nemanja Matic giftwrapped, and if the photo on Twitter on Sunday afternoon was anything to go by, the deal has finally been done. Here’s a bit of Chelsea trivia for you; Since John Terry has departed, who is now the longest serving Chelsea player? Matej Delaj. I know, who? Matej has been at Chelsea the longest, despite being out on loan for
Alexis Sanchez
voice and call your boss, even though it is your back you’re claiming you’ve done. No, you need to think far and wide in this day and age and make sure your Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Instagram, LinkedIn and whatever else all tally up too. So credit to Alexis Sanchez for pulling it off. Of course, Alexis really wants to leave Arsenal and therefore wasn’t too bothered about going in for his first day of preseason, but he still played the game
Nemanja Matic
San Miguel Golf Society Yet another sweltering day in July saw nearly 40 of us doing battle in a medal round at one of the most popular of our venues .....”proper golf” at Villamartin, and for all the mad dogs & Englishmen, we teed off a little before noon !! In contrast to the greens, which were running fast and true, rhe fairways are understandably being protected against the searing sun by being left a little longer than normal resulting in the minimum of run. Add to this the facts that most pin positions were right at the back of greens, thankfully this didn't apply to the dreaded 17th , plus the tee boxes were back a bit, so the course did play a little long, with only 3 scores recorded under par. 33 members and 5 guests attended the day with the following results:. Nearest the pins – Graham Temple (Hole 6) Tony Smale (Hole 9) Tony Sims (Hole 13) and Phil Birtwistle (Hole 17).
Best Guest – George Maugham with a very creditable 80. BRONZE - 4th Marg Birtwistle (78). 3rd Chris Hamblett (75). 2nd Phil Birtwistle (74). 1st Brian Butler (73). SILVER - 4th Ken Flaherty (73). 3rd Norman Cahill (72). 2nd Mark Withington (72 c/b). 1st Eva Pettersson (70). GOLD – 4th Phil Sully (75). 3rd Tony Sims (72). 2nd Graham Temple (71). 1st Steve Higgins (69). The “Abacus” bottle of fine red wine was taken away by Derek Johnston. Our thanks go to all the team at Villamartin for their help in making the day a success and if you wish to know more about the San Miguel Golf Society, please visit www.smgs.org or telephone Barry on 966731033 to obtain the details of our weekly Wednesday meetings, next week we're at one of the other Quara courses, La Finca.
almost every minute he has been contracted to the Stamford Bridge club. Incredible. Jose Mourinho is unhappy again, and not just at Conte’s sense of humour. Having been bought a £75m centre forward who might actually do better than I’ve been suggesting in recent weeks and a £30m centre half who actually would really appreciate it if Liverpool stopped faxing them. Of course, what this really means is that RB Leipzig are more than happy to sell Naby Keita to Liverpool
looks worse than Phil Jones, unbelievably, Mourinho has the daggers out for Ed Woodward once more. Even Matic won’t satisfy the United boss as he is painfully aware that if he is forced to keep Fellaini in the squad due lack of reinforcements then there is no way the Premier League title is heading to Old Trafford next season. But who else can United actually sign? Who knows, Jose gave Ed the list, he didn’t give it to us.
if they pay them enough money. Naby will get at least one season playing alongside Philippe Coutinho as the Brazilian will then hot foot it to the Camp Nou and fulfil a dream of Barcelona that started last week, when he learned how much of the Neymar transfer funds they are prepared to pay him in wages. He’ll have to wait though, and by then Barcelona will have probably signed someone else anyway.
According to RB Leipzig, Naby Keita is 100% staying at RB Leipzig and they
Preseason friendlies have been happening all over the shop and I am
under increasing pressure to let you know some of the results. So, here goes. Manchester City beat Tottenham 3-0 in a meaningless match not even played in England. Arsenal beat Benfica on the Saturday of the Emirates Cup and followed it up with a defeat to Sevilla. Arsenal still managed to lift the Emirates Cup despite Sevilla having won both their games, a fact that tells you preseason is a complete pantomime at the wrong time of year. Chelsea have managed to batter Arsenal 3-0, obviously, but have then lost to Bayern and Inter. Liverpool, at the time of writing, are beating all comers, City lost to United but then hammered Real Madrid and Tottenham. United were unbeaten until Barcelona nicked their game 1-0. And you know what? None of this matters one teeny tiny bit. Nobody cares, it’s all about money and PR. If you think you can genuinely guess how your team is going to do off the back of any of that then go and watch cricket or something. Oh, and whilst I am on that. If a new signing has scored in one of these matches let me assure you of one thing, he has not, I repeat not, scored his first goal for the club. Capeche?
The Members Golf Society With our lowest turnout this year, just 26 members played an individual Stableford competition in temperatures in excess of 33 degrees but thankfully the light breeze did give us the feeling of it being a little cooler! The course was in good condition with the greens being a little difficult to read, they looked slow but if fact were quite fast and this resulted in a few comments about taking a number of 3 putts. It’s always nice to get off to a good start, but to do that you need your clubs, Alan Rickers aka as cuddly from Dudley had to borrow a friend’s car for today’s
journey, so he told his mate John Hillier to get his clubs out of the Ford Focus. John agreed and wondered around the car park clicking the remote at all of the Ford Focuses that he can find without response. Getting a little infuriated with the situation he stood in the centre of the car park clicking the remote and to his surprise the lights flashed on a Ford Fusion! Cuddly was obvious “confused” .With his clubs loaded on the buggy off they went to the 1st tee alas the “confusion” lead to him blobbing the first 2 holes! Hopefully your own car will be fit

The Test series between England and South Africa has been consistently inconsistent. Close matches have not been seen, in fact close days have been pretty rare. Joe Root may have declared a little later than many people thought was necessary, but England gave themselves the evening session of Sunday and all of Monday to bowl out South Africa and take a 2-1 lead in the series
driving that fast, to see off Kimi Raikkonen. Lewis Hamilton came fourth and, I would imagine, wasn’t best pleased about that.

showing the world that the 20-year-old is ready to take on the myth of Michael Phelps. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very impressive but I feel a real test of talent would be to win three gold medals in one night in different sports. That would make me sit up and pay attention. Great Britain’s Adam Peaty is now believed to be the finest breaststroke swimmer of all times, winning the 50m and 100m titles breaking his own world records along the way. Again, this is pretty good but to say he is the finest of all time? He is the finest if you stick him in the perfect swimming pool and ask him to swim to the end and back as fast as he can. But if you whack him in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with a poodle on his back, how good is he then? I think to be the greatest of all time you need to have a little variety in your armoury.
I won’t lie to you. I had no idea what the RideLondon Classique was until I was looking for some filler for today’s column. But, Coryn Rivera won the richest prize in women’s cycling, a fine pot of €100,000. New events everywhere folks, everywhere. Don’t tell me this one has been going on for years, I will feel more foolish than usual. America has a new star in the swimming pool. Caeleb Dressel may well spell his name wrong, but he can swim like a fish. Dressel became the first person ever to win three gold medals in one night at the World Championships,

further leaving a band 2mtrs wide and up to 18inches deep of silt, as most of us found out to our peril, with mud everywhere. Hopefully this will improve in the next couple of weeks as it dries out.

His full technical team were present as they put a host of new faces through their paces. The few fans who turned up to see this first session would have struggled to identify any of the players. Long time supporter, Mick Drew made the trip, but only recognised Lewis Booker from last term. In truth, Torry are a step behind the opposition, having failed to approach a number of players soon enough, believing that they would be entering a collaboration with an academy set up from Malaga. There was insufficient time to put this in place and hence Torry lagging behind their competitors at this stage. Twenty hopefuls braved the early evening heat to put in a worthwhile first training get together, with some noting that a large contingent were youth players from the municipal teams from last season. Several looked very good

prospects, but whether many of them will be able to hold their own against seasoned professionals in the Preferente, remains to be seen. Unlike last term, Torry will train in the
evenings, which is a blessing during this relentless hot weather. They have five weeks to mould into a combative unit and demonstrate that they are capable of an immediate return to the national 3rd division. Director of Football, Jose Alvarez was in long discussions with the technical team, assessing the talent on show, but equally importantly, reviewing options on other players they still might be able to bring to the club. One way or another, this is going to be one of the toughest and most vital seasons in the history of the club. Fans can catch the training action from 7pm week nights, with the schedule published at the start of each week on the official club website www.clubdeportivotorrevieja.com.
