ROCKING THE URB
Residents living on the La Marina Urbanisation were divided over the rock festival held at the beginning of June in the Consum Square. Many took to Facebook to either vent their anger or defend the controversial annual event, this years is reported to be the final one. According to the Town Hall the yearly cost for residents living on the La Marina Urbanisation is €20,000 and with the idea of the vent to raise funds for good causes it seems that the accountants at the town Hall are not doing their figures as the festival last year raised only €5,300. Angry locals said the money was a waste with suggestions of just donating monies directly to the charities and the rest of the money spent on cleaning up the area. One of the issues seemed to be the type of music chosen for the event, Hard Rock music which, it was alleged, was hardly in keeping with the demographics of the local population, in other words the average age of residents in the area is not the type of generation that necessarily enjoys loud rock music into the early hours. Although they may well have done when they were younger? The late finish, 4.00am, angered others with many claiming the Town Hall were ‘hypocrites’ who allowed loud music into the morning hours when it suited them but meanwhile stopped other bars in the area from holding live events or restricting the noise level and hours. Defending the event residents claimed that the complainers should be more tolerant stating that it was ‘only one night per year’ and that nobody have
ever claimed it as a charity event, blaming peoples’ confusion with a Torrevieja festival. Others declared that it brought some life to the area and that people should remember that they too were young once. Some wrote that they could hear the concert but that it wasn’t too loud and wasn’t a problem while others commented that they could not sleep because of the noise. It’s true you can’t please all the people all of the time and the Rock Festival seems to be a perfect example of that by splitting local residents and dividing opinion on the event. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this or any other matter concerning La Marina Urbanisation and village. If you’ve got something you want to highlight let us know here at lamarinanewspaper@gmail.com.

EX-PM RETURNS TO SANTA POLA Ex-Spanish Prime Minister comes back to his old job in the town
Front page photo courtesy of La Marina Gossip Facebook page
Rajoy out for a stroll
The former leader of the Government, Mariano Rajoy, joined the office where he has a job held for him from the time when he left to go to Madrid. He takes over his old job as the registrar of property on the 19th of June. He was photographed alongside local residents walking through the town with Francisco Riquelme, who occupies the same office , which were then
shared across social networks. "We did not know anything. It has caught us by surprise. We have heard about some WhatsApp groups ", explained the local PP president of Santa Pola and national deputy, Loreto Cascales, "We are delighted that a person who has been until recently the leader of Spain returns to his work life with total normality, without making any fuss or public announcements, like the man he is. It should always be like this. It is an example of which many should take note," she said. Rajoy resigned last month after being evicted from the government by the motion of censure of the socialist Pedro Sanchez. The former Prime Minister has requested his re-entry into the body of property registrars. His place, which he obtained by opposition until the age of 24 years, has been waiting for him since then. "We believe that he has come to enjoy his new work life, like any citizen," said Cascales.

COMPUTER CORNER from Gran Alacant Services
Dear Richard, I want to download some videos from YouTube but I can’t find a way of doing it. Can you help? Gary. Dear Gary, I’d recommend you try the free product YouTube Downloader (https://youtubedownloader.com/), a simple application which once installed (declining any free offers during the install is recommended) allows you to simply copy & paste a video url i.e. https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=A2uVxQG3HXE which gives you a preview of the video and various options regarding video quality/ format. Just press Download to start downloading the video, downloaded videos can be found by using the My video files button. Hi, my computer is running very slow and programmes take ages to open and then do not work smoothly. Are there any steps I can take to improve the speed myself? Thanks, Jenny.
Rocks, jumps mud and water don’t stop the guys from Riders!

Hi Jenny, Unfortunately I can’t recommend to you any program that will give you a dramatic increase in speed (although there are plenty that claim to do so, but which may do more harm than good). If you haven’t already you may wish to run a virus scan to rule out infection slowing your computer down. You could try going into Control Panel and looking at System properties to view the amount of memory the computer has installed (increasing the amount of memory can improve speed considerably sometimes. In order to upgrade the memory you should be comfortable with opening up your computer and checking and purchasing the correct type of memory to install. There could be other factors slowing down your computer i.e. hard disk drive, virus infection, etc and if in doubt about any of the above, seek the advice of a professional!

DEAR LA MARINA NEWS
Hola Something absolutely incredible has just happened. I have just found myself agreeing with an article by Malcolm Palmer about Eurovision! (Eurononsense, Issue 12) I would , however, like to add another song for consideration as acceptabubble. The 1964 entry by Italy - Non Ho L’eta by Gigliola Cinquetti - that won that year. Have a look on “you tube”. its in black n white on a very plain stage without all the c... that currently surrounds it. Need a lie down now. Adios Mike HELLO..? It seems council workers decided to create their own road laws last month when theyr put this traffic sign up next to the roundabout on Avenida del Carabasi. They put the sign upside down (it should be pointing downwards signifying ‘Give Way’ but as you can see it’s180 degrees out! As the sign has no meaning in the Spanish
Highway Code we thought we’d ask readers for your suggestions for a new road law that the sign could represent. Below we’ve listed the top comments. Peter Williams - Toblerone ahead Terry Biddle - Pray to him before you enter Ken Taylor - Highway to heaven Mandy Tams - Straight down the middle Jo Jo Leatherbarrow - Anyway you want !!! Gary Bilton - As it’s a roundabout. Outside lane only!!

LOCAL HOMES FOR REFUGEES
WOMAN LEFT SHAKEN AFTER LIDL CAR PARK ROBBERY
Santa Pola asks its residents to open their doors to the Aquarius refugees The Diputación de Alicante offers the refugees a home, while Alcoy, Elche and finally Alicante have also announced that they will promote the reception of these people The fishing town of Santa Pola has taken another step and asked residents “who want to and can” to take some of the 629 refugees who have been arriving on board the ship Aquarius at the port of Valencia. Councillors in Santa Pola have said that they will make a “public announcement” so that residents can
understand what needs to be done in order to find temporary shelter for these people in private homes or other establishments. Said Samuel Ortiz, alderman for the area. “Santa Pola lacks public spaces that do not allow us to provide a

short-term solution to the housing problem,” Ortiz reminded people that Santa Pola has been the first municipality in the province of Alicante to join the European project Solida which includes destination countries of migrants and refugees such as Greece, Malta, Italy or Spain, among others. As a result of this project, in March the town was able to carry out a simulation with the different agencies involved to improve the reception protocol for people in small boats. Santa Pola was already synonymous with solidarity following the summer of 2006 when the crew of the fishing boat ‘Francisco y Catalina’ rescued 51 immigrants in a boat that went adrift. After being rejected by Malta, the nearest country, Spain opened its doors and the Spanish government allowed its landing a week later in Alicante. Anyone who is in a position to help refugees, should send an email to cooperacion@santapola.es.
Following our report in the last issue about an elderly lady being robbed, it has happened again. This time another lady had her purse stolen in the Lidl car park after answering a young woman’s request for directions to the post office. The woman asked if the lady could speak English and when she replied yes she was asked to get out of the car and point directions to the post office. After she got out to help the woman reached in and grabbed her purse containing 100 euros and her bank cards, on which the thief racked up over 2,000€ on online purchases. The lady, who needs an oxygen supply 18 hours of each day, was left very shaken and wasn’t helped when the local police turned her away, telling her to return with a translator.
GUARDIA CIVIL VISIT PRIMARY SCHOOL TO MEET YOUNGSTERS The Guardia Civil showed off their equipment at the Gran Alacant school, CEIP Vicenta Ruso, for the children of the school, within the socalled Master Plan for coexistence and improvement in the safety of educational schools and their environment. In it, about three hundred students, between three and six years old, received road safety classes, both inside and outside the car, as well as the importance of protecting nature and contact with other living beings. To do this, the Civil Guard brought along a Citizen Security Unit.

ALICANTE BUILDINGS NOT EARTHQUAKE PROOF
La Marina News
GOVERNMENT TAKES ITS TOLL
THE TIGER MOSQUITO
AP7 to be toll-free up to Tarragona The Minister of Public Works working within the new Government of Spain last week made a statement to Spanish press concerning the toll charges on the nation’s motorways. He declared that all the current tolls situated on the AP7 motorway going from Alicante up as far as Tarragona will stop charging drivers when the current contract with the operating company the motorway terminates at the end of December 2019. So good news for drivers and starting from the 1st of January 2020, all current sections charging a toll on the A7 motorway will return to Government control and will become free to drive along.
University of Alicante study reveals that the buildings from the sixties and seventies on the A licante coast do not resist the shock of an earthquake Results show that the authorities should consider a comprehensive technical inspection in buildings to analyse the degree of deterioration and perform the necessary intervention and reinforcement to ensure structural safety Many of the buildings on the Alicante coast were built in the 60s and 70s with materials of much lower quality than today’s, with limited consideration for durability requirements and earthquake proof measures. The wind causes deterioration to a greater extent the buildings on the coast made of concrete and steel due to the salt content. A University of Alicante research group has recently published a study of seismic behaviour of 1960’s buildings exposed to marine environment in which they analyse in depth some buildings, located on the coast of Alicante, built in the sixties and seventies, concluding that these properties will not resist the effect of an earthquake. The scientific study focuses on the analysis of some reinforced concrete buildings located on the Alicante
coast. However, as Ivorra Chorro confirmed, “it is something that happens, more often than not, among the buildings on the Mediterranean coast, particularly in Alicante”. They are 15-floor buildings from the 1960s and 70s. In that period, quake-proof building regulations were known but not applied. Buildings at that time were constructed without taking earthquakes into account or the action of the wind, which deteriorates concrete and steel to a greater extent due to due to airborne sea salt. The expert highlights the reduced quality of the materials with which they were built. According to current measures, these properties are not strong enough to resist an earthquake. It is noteworthy that these buildings were constructed without considering possible seismic actions which, since the 70s, is mandatory in the Alicante area. The working team, made up of engineers and architects, has made use of the maps provided by the Alicante city council. They have verified that these maps correspond to the buildings constructed and, following that, they have built a calculation model to provide evidence of the deterioration that would occur to both the original building and the building in the event of an earthquake.

KEEP BUG-EYED THIS SUMMER High risk of cockroaches due to weather and rising temperatures along with high humidity following heavy rainfalls over the past few months are believed to be the cause for the increase in the number of cockroaches in urban areas. The Spanish board of health has stated that will be a “high risk” of plagues of cockroaches all over Spain this summer. The board of health has recommended that people take preventive measures such as making sure food is not left out and water is not left to stagnate. Fixing cracks in tiles and spraying suspect areas are other measure recommended by the board who went on to warn that the cockroaches are more than a risk to hygiene. They can also contaminate food supplies and increase the risk of people catching salmonella. If anyone finds infested areas, they are advised to call pest control companies as attempts to clear the area using domestic pesticides often just move the problem elsewhere. Or in some cases make the situation worse. According to reports an American ‘super cockroach’ species has also been spotted in Spain, which apparently arrived on boats crossing the Atlantic.
Remember the Tiger mosquito season normally lasts from May until Sept/Oct in Spain but the peak month is July. The tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) which is native to South east Asia can now be found on the Costa Blanca and has spread throughout the Mediterranean gradually and there are now established populations in France, Italy and Greece as well as Spain. The tiger mosquito is considered to be one of the 100 most damaging invading species in the world according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). It can carry more than 20 exotic diseases, but even though the mosquito has the capacity to carry these diseases in order for them to do so, these diseases must be present in a mosquito carrying them in Spain. The tiger mosquito is strikingly different from other mosquitoes due to its very noticeable black and white striped markings, the body of the mosquito is 2 to 10mm long depending on breeding condition and food available. The tiger mosquito season normally lasts from May until Sept/Oct in Spain but the peak month is July. The mosquito feeds during the day (especially between the hours 6am and 10am and 4pm and 10pm) males on nectar and plant juices but the females fed on blood, which they require in order to develop their eggs. Water is an essential element of the larval development process and since they have a short flight range of only 200 meter this means they are normally found near to water. They love stagnant water, old dirty swimming pools which have turned green, discarded water bottles, animal water bowls etc. etc. According to specialists it is “almost impossible” to eradicate the mosquito but the population can be held in check.

Funny stuff... Seventy-year-old George went for his annual check-up. He told the doctor that he felt fine, but often had to go to the bathroom during the night. Then he said: “But you know Doc, I’m blessed. God knows my eyesight is going, so he puts on the light when I pee, and turns it off when I’m done!” A little later in the day, Dr. Smith called George’s wife and said: “Your husband’s test results were fine, but he said something strange that has been bugging me. He claims that God turns the light on and off for him when uses the bathroom at night.” Thelma exclaimed: “That old fool! He’s been peeing in the refrigerator again!”

SPORTS REPORT
AUSSIE WINNER FOR WIMBLEDON? Not since Wimbledon 2002 has an Australia male claimed victory at one of Tennis’ four Grand Slams, but hold your horses tennis fans, this year might be the year that all changes. Lleyton Hewitt, the man who loves Tennis so much he has retired and staged a dramatic comeback roughly three times this year already, won the second Grand Slam of his career at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club 16 years ago, following on from his U.S. Open victory in 2001. The Davis Cup captain made it to the final of two other Grand Slam tournaments, the 2004 U.S. Open and the 2005 Australian Open, but our Aussie hero was bested by Roger Federer and Marat Safin respectively. Apart from Hewitt, just three Aussie men have made it to the quarter-final stage of one of tennis’ four most important tournaments since Lleyton’s win in England back in ‘02. Mark Philippoussis, aka Scud, faced the
Swiss Maestro in the final of Wimbledon in 2003 where, as you probably guessed, Federer smacked him around the court. Bernard Tomic, as an 18-year-old, made the quarter-final of the same tournament in 2011. Remember what high hopes we once had for the current world No. 146? The fourth and final Aussie has made it
to two separate Grand Slam quarters and is quietly stringing together a number of grass court wins that has pundits believing he is a serious chance to take out this year’s Wimbledon title. Nick Kyrgios, the world No. 21, made it to the final eight of Wimbledon in 2014 and the Australian Open in 2015. The divisive Aussie hit a career rankings high of world No.13 in October, 2014, and despite an elbow injury that forced him out of this year’s French Open, the 23-year-old has hit form come grass court season that has rivals hoping they don’t find him in their side of the draw.
ELCHE BEAT THE ODDS TO CLINCH PROMOTION
Elche return to the second division after one year in the second division B. The iIlicitanos celebrated the promotion with the 500 fans that travelled to Villareal who were freed, finally, from the tension that was a season marked by pressure to the bittersweet taste of having signed ogff a brilliant season with the much needed prize of promotion.
