Calanova Charity Fair success
THE CalaNova Cancer Charity Fair on Saturday May 20 was a great day. Although not as many people as expected turned up because of the forecast for rain, finally the sun came out and they all had lots of fun.
They were entertained by the beautiful Izzy Newman, whose fabulous singing took them right through the day. Sadly the Spanish dancers had to cancel due to the rain forecast.
A big thank you to Max Gustav and all their amazing staff that looked after them so well.
Also a big thank you to the wonderful people that came and shared their beautiful jewellery, home made crafts and cakes, and all the volunteers.
They took a total of €1,436 on the day. A special thank you to everyone who donated the prizes for the raffle.
More are currently being received and tickets will be on sale at the shop for another two weeks, when they will make the draw on their official opening and donate money to their cancer charities.
Please pop in and buy one!
Calanova Cancer Care Charity Shop is located at Calle Joan Miro 358. San Agustin (Palma).
These organisms pump water directly into their bodies through an aquiferous vascular system. This makes them highly vulnerable to any form of water pollution, as they have little capacity to filter out toxins and other pollutants.
Beach waters frequented by bathers often contain significant amounts of sunscreens, suntan lotions, insect repellents and other chemicals that are harmful to marine species, which makes it even more important to keep a distance with these creatures.
As a result, environmentalists are urging social media users to condemn the publication of photographs by posters showing starfish that have been taken out of the water in a bid to raise awareness and discourage others from doing the same.
Erasing history
THE Cala Major neighbourhood in Palma has lost another of its historic buildings. A local association has reported the demolition of a traditional house on Calle Nicolau Alemany two months after another emblematic building known as Son Matet was torn down.
Dumpers caught
LLUCMAJOR Local Police has identified and reported a construction company for illegally dumping building refuse at various points throughout the town. The town hall warned that this offence is punished with fines of up to €1,000.
Surprise find
A PALMA resident this week discovered a box full of archaeological remains next to a rubbish container in Can Pastilla. A municipal expert examined them and ascertained they are most likely of Punic origin and came from the Na Galera islet.
Traffic jam
TWO serious accidents caused an eightkilometre tailback on Inca motorway this week. A crash between a car and a motorbike and a second car that caught fire at the same time affected both directions near Santa Maria around 3pm on Monday.
Body shaming
AN airline has come under fire for forcing a traveller to weigh herself on the scales used for weighing luggage at an unidentified airport this week. Another flier filmed the incident and the video went viral on TikTok as the airline was accused of ‘fatphobia’.
Wedding brawl
A WEDDING in Alcudia ended in a punchup at the weekend. The Local Police were called to the area outside Magic disco early on Sunday morning due to a fight between guests that left several people injured.
