Consul salutes charities BRITISH CONSUL Sarah-Jane Morris paid tribute this week to the “unique” spirit of British people that spurs them to join charities and help the community. by Jack Troughton

Arresting experience THE BLUES Brothers Experience and the legendary black and white known as the “Bluesmobile” attracted some attention from the officers of law and order at Sunday’s Moraira Music Festival. Officers of the Policia Local decided it was a picture opportunity not to be missed and agreed to cuff the duo just to show Chicago Police how it should be done! Read more about the festival on page 6.

VISITING HELP of Denia and the Marina Alta in La Xara, Mrs Morris said she was impressed with the work volunteers were doing to aid people of all nationalities and pledged the consulate team’s support. And she said she wanted to impress on the Spanish authorities just how much British charities were doing to take pressure over over-stretched public services. Mrs Morris told RTN: “There is this uniqueness to the British culture. We cannot help but join a charitable group. It is a wonderful thing – and you certainly don’t have to be British to benefit. “I do find it very humbling, because I meet so many volunteer groups and learn of all the work they do in their own time – they could be just sitting on a beach enjoying their retirement.” The consul said the Alicante Consulate team wanted to help more and by meeting charities it “refreshed” ideas on how best to support them.

Freddie flies into UK

Friday June 12 - Thursday June 18 2015

TINY BABY Freddie Jackson arrived home to Bolton on Monday seven-weeks after making his very dramatic and highly publicised entrance to the world three months prematurely. by Jack Troughton

TINY BABY Freddie Jackson arrived home to Bolton on Monday seven-weeks after making his very dramatic and highly publicised entrance to the world three months prematurely. Scheduled for a July birth, Freddie was born by emergency caesarean section as mum and dad Karla Hornby and Jordan Jackson took a planned – and blessed by doctors – break in Benidorm. Karla’s waters broke by the poolside and she was rushed to San Juan Hospital in Alicante where little Freddie – weighing just 2lb, the same as a bag of sugar – took up residence in the premature baby unit. Nurses called him ‘Frederico the Champion”. And having doubled in weight – he is now worth more than two bags of sugar – he won the blessing of medical staff to go home to Bolton – although for a time he will still be in hospital. From Freddie’s birth, the couple were told their stay was open ended depending on his progress. Karla, 29, flew with her little son in a special flight. Jordan, 21, had left Spain on Tuesday evening, laden with clothes, baby equipment, and a large cuddly toy presented by Grant A Wish – the charity supported the couple throughout an enforced hotel stay. However, Freddie’s farewell to Spain was disrupted – and not by air traffic control problems. Karla and baby were scheduled to leave on Thursday 2nd June – but because of sudden demand there was no room at Bolton and the ‘medical evacuation’ flight was delayed. She said the experience had been “the most stressful thing in my life” but despite the language difficulties she said: “we have made some good friends here.” And she thanked Grant A wish, saying: “The help we have

Freddie goes home

received from the charity has been absolutely amazing. We will definitely stay in touch.” The pair did manage to discover the beach and enjoyed a trip into Alicante port but everything was dictated by the timing of twice daily trips to see their little man. Karla said Freddie would still need assisted feeds in hospital but was learning to bottle feed, taking just 5mm a time. “Once the feeding is done, we have cracked it!” She said: “He is still very much a fighter and is always smiling. Although he is only six weeks old, he has a proper personality. Everyone back home is definitely going to spoil him.” Jordan said his young son was always awake when he visited. “He is a daddy’s boy. He is fit, well and strong. The nurses have been wonderful, brilliant. We call them his Spanish aunties.” Karla admitted she was looking forward to being home. “I have been playing some Harry Potter films just to hear English voices...and we might see some rain.”

Referendum is hot subject

THE PASSAGE of the Referendum Bill continues through the House of Commons as the battle for all expats to have a voice heats up. by Jack Troughton PRIME MINISTER David Cameron warned this week that members of his government who did not support his stance on European membership would lose their jobs. However, Number 10 later ‘clarified’ the position and said the media had “over interpreted” the PM’s words and colleagues were free to air their view in the ‘in-out’ debate. Expats can join a petition calling for a universal franchise for the referendum at https://you.38degrees.org. uk/petitions/eu-referendum-votes-for-all?bucket&so urce=facebook-share-button&time=1432130685 – they may need to enter an old postcode. They can also lobby Downing Street directly via https://email.number10.gov.uk/. It is suggested they incorporate the following sentence: “Along with Harry Shindler, I ask that all British Citizens in Europe (including the 15 year plus group) can vote in the Referendum. It was promised to Harry that all Citizens could vote.” Senders may need to pick up an incoming notification mail to verify with one click of the mouse.

Boy in suitcase reunited with his mother THE EIGHT year old boy who was found in a suitcase last month has finally been reunited with his mother. RTN readers may remember that we reported last month on the horrific find of the eight year old boy, Adou Ouattara, being smuggled alive in a suitcase from Morocco to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. At the time of the discovery by customs the woman smuggling Adou was arrested and the father, who arrived later, was also arrested. The delay in reuniting Adou with his mother was because the authorities had insisted on DNA testing before they would hand the eight year over into her custody. Maria Antonia Palomo cried with joy when she was reunited with Adou, and according to Ceuta officials had said “it’s a very beautiful day”. The father, who had reportedly tried to bring his son in legally, previous to the smuggling incident, had been told that his income was not sufficient to support his child and his application was refused.

Bank’s “premeditated crime” FINANCIAL EXPERTS have labelled a flawed “absurd” equity release scheme as a fraud designed to fleece innocent and trusting victims.

Mike and Julie McCinnes

by Jack Troughton LANDSBANKI LUXEMBOURG – the subsidiary of a now bankrupted Icelandic bank – sold a heavily marketed ‘no risk’ package to around 600 pensioners across Spain, France, Germany, Portugal and Holland. Victims who were ‘asset rich and cash poor’ were able to draw down a percentage of the value of their home – promised the 75% invested by the bank would not only pay the interest but also provide an income. However, when Landsbanki spectacularly crashed in 2008, they found themselves treated as debtors in default by administrators rather than investors. Court actions have been lodged across Europe. On the Costa Blanca, the Costa Del Sol and the Balearic Islands, 180 members of the Landsbanki Action Group commissioned a 7,000€ report that has now been submitted to the Spanish courts as a powerful professional opinion. Written by Professor Prosper Lamothe of the University of Madrid, and Professor Antonio Partal, of the University of Jaen, the report had been made public for the first time – and will be shared with other legal teams. Mike McInnes, spokesman for the action group, said Professor Lamothe was one of Europe’s most respected economic and banking experts “and any court throughout Europe will respect his opinions and conclusions.” He added: “He concludes that the Landsbanki equity release product was a premeditated crime and established in order to defraud the victims knowing full well that the product could never work”. FRUSTRATION Mike said the “wheels of Spanish justice”

continued to turn very slowly “much to the frustration of ourselves and our legal team.” The action group is to make an official complaint to the Spanish Ombudsman in a bid to bring pressure to bear so the prosecution could “finally go ahead after six long years of seeking justice.” The two experts said the equity release was a “complex financial product” and any risk involved was only detectable by a “financial eye” – and victims should have expected the bank to be transparent over risk and subject to proper regulation. The report states the potential yield of Landsbanki investments supplied to victims “was entirely misleading” and were based on three years of substantial growth – and offered a self-financing product at nil cost. However, it noted the bank did not have “a crystal ball” to see the future and it was “impossible” to achieve what was claimed. It says both consultants and the bank drew up contracts knowing victims were putting their investment at risk and “putting at stake” their homes. “In exchange, they obtained profits in the form of commissions and interest for the bank...which collection was guaranteed by collaterals and mainly the real guarantees of the operation.” And it concluded this could only be explained as negligent behaviour by experts. “The approach of such an absurd action means bad faith and a clear intention of misleading the clients.” Anyone wishing for more information about the Landsbanki Action Group can contact Mike on 627 919 000 or email mike.mcinnes47@gmail.com

Festival strikes a chord MORAIRA MUSIC Festival was voted a smash hit after crowds were thrilled with an evening of pure entertainment on Sunday that had people dancing in the street. by Jack Troughton THOUSANDS OF people arrived in the seaside resort for this annual curtain raiser for the traditional Moors and Christians ‘fiesta’ and the standard of talent on stage insured no one was disappointed. And the show – staged at the side of historic Moraira Castle – struck a chord with the Moors and Christians organisers as it contributed over 1,000€ to festival coffers, a timely gift for the fiesta’s 25th anniversary celebration. Moraira’s car parks, restaurants and bars were packed for the evening; the area in front of the music stage was simply heaving with a crowd intent on enjoying itself. Eric Taylor, who organises the music festival every year, said he was told more than 5,000 people had visited Moraira. “I couldn’t believe how many people were there – where did they all come from? POWER

Multi-instrumentalist Jim Rhodes rocks Moraira

“I think it is the power of social media. It gets shared and shared and around it goes on Facebook. It was just incredible. “How do you better that? People will expect the same standard next year and every year. That’s a real challenge.” He said the music festival was “run on a shoestring budget” and amazed the Spanish who could spend up to 5,000€ on a music event. “They are slowly coming around to the fact that perhaps they can use foreign acts.” And for the first time, there was a bucket collection in the crowd to raise money for the Moors and Christians – the donations collected by just two volunteers. “Next year they can do it themselves – they can get involved and collect wearing costumes,” added Eric. “The organisers were absolutely stunned when we walked in with over 1,000€ and handed it to the President.”

Continued from front page... PROMOTE AND SHE added: “We could probably also do more to promote what they do for communities – in terms of the time volunteers give and the whole British volunteer culture. “It is recognised at local level but not at the level of the (governing) Spanish authorities and I think we miss a trick there.” Mrs Morris was told by HELP President Candy Wright and her deputy Cathy Perez Pinto how the charity had celebrated its 30th anniversary last year and from advising on how to access the Spanish health system, loaning much-needed medical equipment, and proving interpreters at Denia Hospital, it and sister charities were becoming more involved in providing respite and residential care. HELP also fund raises to buy equipment and provide support to Spanish organisations also working in the wider community. Mrs Morris said HELP was doing “an amazing job”, adding: “This is partnership in action – Brits supporting each other and also giving something back to the local Spanish community.” The consular team recognised there can be problems accessing care and gaining help for individuals through social services under terms of the Ley de Dependiencia. RIGHTS “There is shifting sand here,” admitted the consul. “In Madrid, we try and find out what the rights are of British people – that’s the bottom line – and the other thing is this law, the Ley de Dependiencia. “If you have any questions about a situation, fire them at us and we will go and ask the government.” She said the consulate team also worked with Solve It, a European organisation working across the EU. “They can tell us if Brits are getting everything they are entitled to.” Mrs Morris underlined: “I want to remind the government of the fantastic work you actually do – the pressure you are taking off them is incredible. It needs to be recognised, just how much work charities actually do within the Spanish community.” And she said it was her aim to insure Ambassador Simon Manley was able to be fully briefed on the contribution made by charities before he visited Valencia again – allowing the diplomat to “get the message across”. Pictured discussing the charity situation are (from left) Vice Consul Lloyd Milen, Consul Sarah-Jane Morris, HELP President Candy Wright and Vice President Cathy Perez Pinto.

Bullﬁghter loses testicle after being gored last week SPANISH BULLFIGHTER, Marco Galán, makes a statement that surprises many. by Jeanette Rice DURING A bullfight last week the Spanish bullfighter lost a testicle having been gored by the bull during the Madrid’s Las Ventas bullring event, and then went on to say that he was glad that “no serious damage had been done”. Marco Galán went on to explain to the press that he was making a certain move when the bull caught him in the lower part of his body, but that he had wanted to carry on with the event, and, although he had been in hospital he was glad to be home recuperating with his wife and was keen to get back in the ring. The couple have no children and even now the bullfighter said that the clean goring had not touched anything vital. Since the event animal rights groups have continued to criticise the bullfighter for taking part in such a blood sport, stating that although it was a shame a man had been injured this was a cruel sport within the country which needed to be stopped.

MABS treasure hunt

The Javea shop team relax

by Jack Troughton UNWANTED FURNITURE and household items are highly prized by the MABS Cancer Support Group to sell in its ‘Trash and Treasures’ charity shops. In a new campaign, the charity is appealing to people moving house or ‘spring cleaning’ to think of donating items – furniture and other household goods, from pots and pans to paintings and ornaments. And leaflets are being left in Costa Blanca estate agencies in a bid to encourage anyone buying or selling property to keep the cancer charity in mind. MABS works with people suffering from all forms of cancer needing help and supports family and friends and is ready to assist “every step of the way”. The Trash and Treasures shops in Javea and Oliva stocks donated items in good condition to sell on to help fund its valuable work – the

charity even collects for free. Sylvia Irving-King, manager of the Javea shop, told RTN: “”We are putting the leaflets into estate agents so anyone selling or buying a house will think of us.” She has been leading a team of volunteers for 18 months. “We have made a lot of changes to the shop and it has really taken off – now around 60% of our customers are Spanish. “We have lots of good quality furniture and it is always well worth a look. We have tried to set out the shop into ‘rooms’ to show everything off properly and everyone says how nice it looks; we get a lot of complements.” The MABS Trash and Treasure shops can be found at 6, Avenida Paris, Javea (tel: 634 354 091) and Calle Sant Issim 2, Oliva (tel: 642 191 605).

Jewel in the crown

JODY KIRBY has been crowned ‘Queen Biker Babe’ ahead of Sunday’s Harley Davidson Fun Day after raising 3,500€ for charity. by Jack Troughton The Costa Blanca Espana Harley Davidson Biker Group is staging the family spectacular in Albir – and 19 Biker Babes will enjoy a pillion ride on one of the powerful machines, along with a police escort. Each of the girls was challenged to raise a minimum 100€ in sponsorship to win a place on a gleaming Harley and Jody won her title by collecting the most. However, it is expected a grand total of around 10,000€ will be donated to charity Make A Smile thanks to the cash raised by the Biker Babes. The event is being staged at Albir’s Eucalyptus Park from 9.30am. At 11.30am the bikes – and the Biker Babe passengers

– will set off one a ‘ride out’, taking them through Altea, Albir and along the seafront of Benidorm’s Levante Beach. Around 500 motorbikes are expected to be arriving at the event from across Spain, making it one of the Costa Blanca’s biggest gatherings of mean machines. SASH And pictured is Jody, a director of Continental Wealth Management and founder of charity Grant A Wish being presented with the ‘Queen Biker Babe sash by fellow biker babe and sponsor of the appeal, Gina Marks of GM Promotions. Biker group spokesman Peter Emmett said the money raised

by the 19 girls was “a tremendous achievement” that had created a huge challenge for the next generation of biker babes. He said: “his is the second time Jody has been involved in our biker Babe Appeal and she just missed out on the top spot last time around. “She certainly set her mind on the coveted Queen Babe title this year and to the good fortune of the EMAUS children who so depend on the efforts of Make A Smile, she smashed it.” As well as motorbikes, Eucalyptus Park will filled with stalls, a bar, food, and live music for the event.

Continued from front page It works very well for their planning, for their teachers and staff, but not for many parents, who are forced to play higher vacation rates, and huge losses to Spain’s national tourism trade, which in certain areas can lose almost seven weeks of what is a sixteen-week season. In much the vain that is Spain, teachers are taught to teach and not to rationalise, educators in Valencia are proposing that all students, from age three to eighteen return to school on September 3rd, 2015. That date is unlikely to change, so parents should jot it in their diary now. The Ministry of Education has drafted the proposed school calendar for next year 2015-16, which proposes that Infant and Primary classes begin on September 3rd and end on June 17th. In secondary and vocational high school they have also proposed they start on 3rd September but end on June 9th. This is the second consecutive year that at the beginning of the year coincides, Primary, Secondary and Baccalaureate classes begin the first week of September. It was proclaimed as a failure last year by many parents and the tourism business, so it should be exactly the same for this year. With very few schools having air conditioning installed, some schools had to close and send students home, because temperatures inside schools were above 30c and reaching danger levels. The idea of the Ministry is a sound but subjective one. Their idea is that by starting on the same day it will encourage the reconciliation of work and family life, since families can enrol their children from the first days of September. Of course, this only is relevant to families with more than one child and only if one child goes to infant school and the other secondary. Otherwise, it makes no difference at all. And now you know the proposal, following such a plan of action will cost Spain millions of Euros, based on last year’s feedback, from the travel, tourism and hostelry trade. Parents cannot take a late break in September when airfares drop. They are forced to travel in the summer high season. Special sports campuses that before attracted children from all over Spain have had to be cancelled, as Valencian children are back in classes although other communities are still on holiday. Starting so early in September works negatively for many parents and puts additional pressure on parents to organise lunches,

Teachers are taught to teach and not to rationalise

which are not offered at primary level during September, possibly take extra time off, pay for additional cover for when primary age children need supervision, etc, because Primary schools all finish at 1.00pm or earlier during September and June. The hardest hit is the hostelry trade. The much-hated and badly received Wert Law has also changed the timeline for students re-sitting any exams, moving them from September to July. This further impacts possible national tourism as now families cannot plan ahead to go on holiday in case their children have to sit an exam at the end of June. Until the Wert Law took affect, parents could plan months, if not more than a full year ahead, plus students had all summer to prepare themselves for their exams. Now, parents have to wait until

‘notes-marks’ are issued on the last day of term sometimes, before they can plan when they can travel. Once again, this impacts tourism in Spain and forces some parents to pay higher prices as they are unable to book months ahead. With the standards of education in Valencia being some of the lowest in Spain, with a shocking 30% plus failure and repeat rate for High School students, the Education department in Valencia continues to do whatever they wish without consulting parents or taking other factors into consideration, except for arranging the timetable of when their own teachers and staff must return to school, which seems to be the ‘reading between the lines’ objective, rather than doing what is possibly best for Students and their families.

Tax gets Messi...again SOCCER SUPERSTAR Leo Messi is to face trial in a Spanish court after judges rejected an appeal by his legal team to avoid him facing tax fraud charges. by Jack Troughton The Barcelona player is accused of being part in a 4.1 million Euro fraud and the city’s Provincial High Court has ruled there is evidence the player “benefitted” from a network of companies said to be at the heart of the allegations. The court underlined it was not the time to decide whether Messi was aware of a scam to cheat the taxman – that was a matter for the trial. The ruling was made public on Wednesday and means the player and his father Jorge Messi remain as the focus of a fraud said to involve the tax years 2007, 2008, and 2009.

Messi senior is alleged to have built a network of companies – when his son was still a minor that appeared to control his ‘image rights’ involving lucrative multi-million advertising contracts – allowing the player to reduce his tax burden. Defence lawyers argued the player never devoted a minute of his life to studying the contracts – but the court decided he ratified the agreements when he turned 18 and said his name appeared as sole administrator of one of the companies. It is understood the state prosecutor was prepared to drop the case but the tax agencies in-

sisted the Barcelona hero should be prosecuted. And the judgement stresses that a lack of knowledge of a financial network did not automatically mean impunity if someone gained a benefit from a fraud – even if they played no part in its design or structure.

Silly me! YESTERDAY I went to the office to renew my permanent bus pass. I am aware that an appointment is needed but when I got to the office it was empty except for the man who issues passes who was, to all intents and purposes, gazing into space. My bus pass just needed to be put into the computer and updated, so as he had nothing to do, I thought he might have done it there and then. Silly me! He gave me an appointment for 11 25 Tuesday! I explained I would have to travel to get the pass but all he did was shrug. Although I am an O.A.P I did not want preferential service, but, after all, he was just sitting idle. There are a lot of unemployed in Torrevieja who would be pleased to get his job and would probably be somewhat more polite. What a pity our taxes are wasted on people who are paid for sitting idle. Rita Young

No sympathy I was reading the article about driving down the centre of the road and I have to say I have no sympathy with David Winder being fined 200€. In Spain we drive on the right. If there is a lane to drive on use it; it is called lane discipline! In the 60 years I have been driving and after six driving tests, I cannot believe some of the people I see here driving on the left, even on two lane carriageways. I can sympathise with visitors but not residents. Use the right hand lane for your own and especially others’ safety. Graham Haywood, Orihuela Costa

What a difference a few days makes On behalf of the residents who have had to endure living next to and looking into the empty structure at Playa del Cura in Torrevieja, I wish to thank RTN for highlighting this horrendous problem we have had to live with for so many years, A huge word of thanks must also be given to the clean up crew who had the soul destroying task of clearing the tonnes of disgusting, filthy rubbish and human waste from the area. They sure deserve medals the size of paella pans. What a difference a few days has made to the lives of the residents all thanks to you wonderful people. Let’s hope this building is demolished and something created that’s appealing to the eye for tourists and residents of Torrevieja to enjoy. Thanks again to Keith, the Town Hall and the clean up crew, for helping us live a normal and healthy life once again. Name and address withheld by request

Discovering joy through Rosen

YOGA TEACHER Francesca Stutely enjoys a unique status on the Costa Blanca as a trained practitioner of the Rosen Method – a technique that releases inner tension and helps people cope with difficult feelings and emotions. by Jack Troughton SHE WAS fortunate enough to have been trained by the founder of the method, Marion Rosen in California, a pioneer of somatic medicine, who developed her work over decades and was still teaching up until her death in 2012 aged 98. Francesca, featured in the June edition of Yoga Magazine, says Rosen literally changed her life when she came across the method in 1994 while in the United States; it changed her from drifting around the world as a party animal to becoming a healthy focussed person. Understood to be the only practitioner of Rosen in Spain, she remembered how the laying on of hands first triggered a transformation over 20 years ago. “In the first session I lay on the table wondering what I was supposed to be feeling, and not a little concerned that nothing much seemed to be going on. “After about 20 minutes, I suddenly saw my life flash before my eyes. The practitioner asked ‘what are you running from?’ The floodgates opened. I cried tears that had been pent up for years. After I had cried and let go, I found an incredible sense of peace and ease in my body. I felt alive and vibrant again.”

It inspired her to study Rosen and yoga, and she said Rosen allowed her to find her real self hidden behind muscle tension. “Things that previously made me angry just didn’t affect me in the same way anymore. “Rosen completely changed my body. I am quite slight now, and I was big then. It was muscle tension and pent up emotion. PEACE “With Rosen, once you get rid of all that tension – which is mixed in with negative emotion usually – it allows space for joy and peace.” The method is centred on how people use tension to put away parts of themselves they and others thought unacceptable – Rosen through a “listening touch” and a practitioner moving hands from place to place releases the emotions, helping people accept and tolerate difficult feelings and memories. Francesca has found Rosen has also helped her yoga teaching; she works in Javea and runs retreats in Europe, South Af-

Francesca

rica, and the Cayman Islands. “Something happens in Rosen which is indescribable and I think the same happens in yoga. Something happens that touches you deep inside and then people soften and then they get in touch with love.” Marion Rosen described her work as being “about transformation from the person we think we are to the person we really are”.

Exploring Jalon Valley

MEMBERS OF the Calpe Branch of the Royal British Legion enjoyed a coach trip to the Jalon Valley and enjoyed exploring places of interest in the famous beauty spot.

Back to school by Jack Troughton

COSTA BLANCA Freemasons returned to the Raquel Paya School in Denia to present a cheque for 1,250€ to buy more essential equipment for the youngsters. Darrell Clayton, Worshipful Master of Logia Deportiva No83, is pictured with fellow Freemasons, handing the cheque to Maite Marti, Director of Raquel Paya Regional Centre of Special Education, and colleague Gemma Gordon Villaros, director of Studies. The money was raised on 5th No-

vember and a successful charity Guy Fawkes Fireworks Party at Darrell’s home in Gata. And the cash has been used to purchase a playground swing especially adapted for use for those in wheelchairs and other special needs children. The school caters for youngsters aged between three and 21 with physical and mental disabilities. The Lodge has supported the school for several years and has funded the

purchase of a range of equipment including elevating massage tables, computers, training appliances and the ‘mood and relaxation’ room. Logia Deportiva’s involvement sates back to 2009 when the then Worshipful Master Neville Jackson pledged support. Worshipful Brother Neville, current secretary Worshipful Brother Bill Lloyd, and charity secretary Worshipful Brother Glyn Walters are also pictured with Darrell at the presentation.

Fun eclipses fund raising

Friday June 12 - Thursday June 18 2015

FAMILIES VISITING the Charity Garden Party on Saturday enjoyed a fun afternoon but organisers of the event of the Los Arcos Restaurant at Pedregeur were disappointed at the total raised for good causes. by Jack Troughton THE HOPED for crowds stayed away – quite simply there were not enough ‘bums on seats’ – although 2,000€ will help the 12 charities involved. However, the restaurant’s paella did sell out, the bar was busy, the kid’s entertainment went down a storm, and congratulations to the volunteers from Xabia International College for their hard work with the excellent charity car window wash. Organiser Ann Martin said circumstances meant the charity day was brought forward from a scheduled September date. “It was OK, everyone had a good time and the feedback has been fantastic...people enjoyed networking but, unfortunately, we did not get enough people,” she admitted. “It was a lovely day and everyone who came enjoyed themselves. As an event it was fantastic but as a fund raiser, it was slightly disappointing.”

Horses for courses

TINY KITTEN ‘Boba Fett’ has become something of a mascot amongst the volunteers of horse charity APAC after being rescued by Jules Jones. Named after a Star Wars bounty hunter, he is now three-weeks-old and still needs constant care – and a frequent bottle feed. “He was found at just a week old in a garden,” said Jules. “He had been on his own for a couple of days and I took him in. “Sadly he is blind, he cannot see, poor thing but he goes absolutely everywhere with us.” Jules is pictured feeding Boba Fett at the Charity Garden Party at the Los Arcos Restaurant, Pedregeur, on Saturday where APAC, Asociacion Protectora Amigos del Caballo, had a stall.

Dog lovers wanted

By Keith Nicol SUMMER IS just around the corner and it’s the time of year when many expats head back to the UK, usually because they say it’s too hot or just to visit family and friends. Some of those leaving are regular volunteers and helpers with many different NGOs and charities. One of those hardest hit is APAH, who need a few extra volunteers to help them manage caring for their rescue dogs during the Summer exodus. Yvonne, the President of APAH has been notified that many of their kennel volunteers will not be around in July or August and said; “This makes looking after our dogs very difficult and puts an awful strain on the few people that will still be here during the summer. We desperately need extra pairs of hands to help with the cleaning and feeding of the APAH dogs throughout July and August.” Anyone willing to help out can contact Yvonne on 630 422 563 and arrange to go along to the APAH kennels, meet all of APAH’s lovely dogs and find out what’s involved with being a kennel volunteer. They hope that by asking now, rather than leaving it until volunteers have already left, they might stand a chance of attracting some caring dog lovers who can help APAH through two very difficult months. Please call 630 422 563, or contact APAH through its Facebook site: www.facebook.com/ ApahRescueSanPedro, or visit one of APAH’s two Charity Shops in Pilar de la Horadada or San Miguel de Salinas. If you leave your name and a contact number, someone will call you back.

British woman skydives for horse rescue centre by Patricia Thompson

A 60-YEAR-OLD British woman has raised more than 500€ for the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre by jumping from a plane in the UK. Elaine Sissons, who has a holiday home in Spain, is a long-time supporter of the Rojalesbased horse rescue centre and a volunteer at the centre’s La Zenia charity shop. Mrs Sissons said a parachute jump had long been on her “bucket list” and she decided to finally bite the bullet to celebrate her 60th birthday in April. Rescue centre co-founder Sue Weeding expressed heartfelt thanks to Mrs Sissons for dedicating her jump to helping abused and neglected horses in Spain. The jump raised 571€, saying “It’s lovely that British residents who have holiday homes here in Spain support us by volunteering at our shops and by fundraising.” The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre welcomes donations and sponsorship to help support their important work. Every cent donated or spent in the charity shops goes towards the feeding and care of the more than 80 horses, ponies and donkeys at the centre. The charity shops are located in La Zenia, Los Montesinos, La Siesta, Ciudad Quesada, Guardamar, La Marina, Pilar de Horadada and Gran Alacant. Donations of furniture, clothes and bric-a-brac to stock the shops are gratefully welcomed. Large

items such as furniture can be collected from your house and each shop also offers a delivery service for large items. EHCRC is seeking volunteers to staff its shops for a few hours or days each week. Please contact the charity shop hotline on 652 021 980 for more information about furniture pick-ups and volunteering. The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre opens to the public on the first Sunday of every month between 1pm and 4pm. Entrance is free and refreshments are available in the garden café.

from White & Baos Abogados Solicitors Lawyers

Can a lawyer refuse to return documents or Court documents to a client, if the client does not pay the legal fees? QUESTION: DEAR Solicitor, A few years ago I started a court case against a developer regarding a property purchase in Spain. I have asked my former lawyer to give me back the documents I gave her concerning the purchase agreement, etc., and the court order, and she answered that as I still owe her part of her legal fees, she does not have any obligation to give me any documentation, or information. Dear reader, thank you for your enquiry. I am surprised by what you have said, as a lawyer cannot legally withhold information or documentation from a client under any circumstances. I understand that if you agreed a fee with your lawyer, you must pay the agreed fees. But having said that, no lawyer could or should oppose returning the documentation to a client, or provide them with a copy of court resolutions of legal proceedings, or any other kind of documentation, under the pretext of not having been paid the legal fees.

The Spanish Lawyers Code of Ethics (Codigo Deontologico), says thus in its article 13 paragraph 12: “12. The documentation received from the client will always be available to him, a lawyer cannot retain it in any case, even under pretext of existing outstanding fees. However copies of the documentation could be kept. “ Furthermore, the Spanish Supreme Court, in a Court Decision, indicated that lawyers have a duty to “custody of all documents, records, transfers and actions arising from the contractual relationship and professional performance and also with greater intensity at the time of the extinction (of the professional relationship), delivering all the

documentation to the client “ The refusal to return documents to a client, for the reason of not having been paid the legal fees, could even be understood as coercion or duress, with the serious consequences that this could mean. Therefore, there are two separate obligations, on the one hand the lawyer must return your documents and deliver the court documents relative to her performance, including the Court Decision of the case, and secondly, you have the obligation to pay the agreed fees, but the fulfillment of the lawyer’s obligation cannot be conditioned to the fulfilment of yours. If you need legal help, contact us.

A lawyer cannot retain it in “any case, even under pretext of existing outstanding fees

Private Equity: beginner’s guide

Dave Diggle

International Financial Adviser

WHAT IS A PRIVATE EQUITY FUND? Private equity can be described as an asset class of generally holding units or shares of companies that are not listed on stock exchanges. The investment into such Companies can be risky and the Private Equity firms (also know as venture capitalists) that invest in theses companies will normally not only invest cash, but will work with or replace the management team in the company in question, nurturing expansion and new product development with, perhaps, a restructuring, all of which will hopefully increase profitability. Normally there is an investment exit plan within a time frame, such as 7 years. The private Equity firm will look for investment opportunities such as distressed companies or chains at a bargain purchase price and turn these companies around in the aforementioned way. Not so many years ago I was in charge of the administration and accounting teams of a large Private Equity Firm which happens to be a household name and frankly, the success of this style of investment was astounding. To give you an example of the type of business that a Private Equity business may pursue; the purchase of a large share of Formula 1 was made by CVC, administered by my colleagues, as was the purchase of Debenhams. Other such plans were to work with an international mobile provider in supplying

a working network to the island of Madagascar and purchase a chain of restaurants in France. YOU CAN HAVE A SLICE OF THE ACTION. Normally you would need to have large quantities of cash to be asked to invest in such schemes (USD150,000+), however, one of our product providers has an in-house fund that allows access to this type of investment. This means that li’l ol’ me and you can have a slice of the action for a very minor amount as part of your overall portfolio. You may want to call it a “bit of spice”. If Private Equity is not for you, however, (which we would assess) then you will be pleased to know our most cautious of clients are earning at least around the 5% mark in a tax efficient way with a capital guarantee of the investment amount. Any big hitters out there, however, who want to pursue Private Equity Firms directly with larger amounts of money to invest please call me. The opportunities, post crisis, are interesting. SO WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? We are here to give you FREE, impartial, independent investment and financial advice (minimum investment £20,000 / €25,000). Please call me, Dave Diggle on 615 607 278 or email dave.diggle@ blacktowerfm.com

home and garden

Dick Handscombe Holistic gardener and author

Living well from our Mediterranean garden

EVER SINCE I and my wife started gardening in our parents and school gardens in the 1940’s and 1950’s respectively the inclusion of things to eat has been an important element of our plant mixes. This led us to enjoy holistic gardens with an element of cottage garden style and with a series of patio gardens around the house including ones focussed on the production of fruit, vegetables, herbs, edible flowers and tree leave, plus eggs and poultry meat. Moving to Spain to retire early allowed me to seek to repeat the edible garden my parents had in West London in order to eat well during the second world war. My efforts in Spain have been driven by the recommendation of my cancer surgeon back in 1993 that I retire early to Spain to an active open air low stress life eating a traditional village Mediterranean diet rather than undergo radio and chemical treatments for a persistent slow growing cancer. For me it worked and recent reports on the latest medical thinking, in recent editions of the magazine ‘What Doctors Don’t Tell You’, demonstrate how forward thinking the surgeon was. A few years ago I gave a talk at a U3A conference at the Javea Parador on health for the third age illustrating the eco edible content of our garden was expanded in parallel with local agriculturalists using heavier and heavier doses of chemical fertilisers insecticides and fungicides and then eventually abandoning most of the local agricultural terraces and fields. Eventually we took on borrowed land to expand our eco vegetable and fruit production for ourselves friends and a local Michelin starred restaurant and make our own

eco olive oil. Now the external production has been cut back to give me more time for writing and painting. After the conference I expanded this into a booklet for people attending our talks and a few years later this was updated and published as a book titled ‘ Living well from our garden – Mediterranean style’ . This was later published for sale Amazon Books UK and Spain etc., to meet an increasing interest in ideas on wellness gardens, what constitutes good and poor eating and what to grow most of based on the wellness benefits of their vitamin mineral and fibre content etc. The rather bland initial book cover has been recently changed as below to highlight the family benefits of good eating from one’s garden, garden and apartment terraces, raised beds, containers etc.. Last week I prepared a tapas and paella lunch with a group of friends who have been involved in restaurant and wine businesses. The majority of the ingredients for both were ecological and from the garden, including most of the thirty ingredients required for producing a quality authentic Valencian paella. Something unfortunately rarely found in tourist restaurants these days as short cuts on ingredients and the method of cooking them have been introduced to survive the economic crisis. If you are interested in the history, ingredients required, method of cooking a fully fledged paella for festive occasions and understanding the other rice dishes eaten by Spanish families on a day to day basis my 25 years of observations and personal practice are now published as a booklet ‘ Your

personal guide to making AUTHENTIC VALENCIAN PAELLAS’ this is also available from Amazon Books. Hope that these recent additions to my portfolio of published books help you make better use of your gardens and apartment terraces. All recent and older books are available from Amazon Books. Unfortunately Santana Books the Spanish publisher and distributor no longer exists.

whats on

26 years of rocking at Munroe’s THIS SUNDAY, rock, punk and metal music fans are in for a treat as local Torrevieja Bar Munroe’s Music Pub celebrate their 26th anniversary. by Keith Nicol After commemorating their 20st and 25th anniversaries at the iconic Eras de la Sal, this year they are packing the crowds into their new venue, at Calle Apollo 12, Torrevieja, where they help the Rock Against Cancer event last month. First established back in 1989, Monroe’s has always been Torrevieja’s, if not the Costa Blanca’s greatest ‘Rock’ bar. Not a weekend has passed without something extraordinary happening within its doors and a great time had by all. Owner Neil said “The success of Monroe’s has been without a doubt thanks to its many regulars, of all nationalities, who over the years have rocked, partied or just relaxed over a cold beer and a game of pool, weekend after weekend in their favourite bar.” Doors open at around 6.00pm and close ‘whenever’ with the first artist, John the Fiddler on stage at 8.00pm. If you’ve not seen him before, prepare to be amazed at just how good a virtuoso John is. John the fiddler is a one man band who plays several instruments and plays covers of Elvis, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Eagles, ACDC, Neil Diamond, Toto, Guns ‘n Roses, Steely Dan, Bon Jovi, Coldplay, Oasis, Nirvana, and if that’s not enough, also the Killers, Amici and Pitbull plus a few others. Deja vu: rock and punk music of the 80’s full of adrenalin

Headline act Wïld Sidë

and craziness! With special guest Ivan Tamargo on drums, who’s also their barman, so hopefully Neil will be doing a double shift… Hot off the wire is that ‘Wïld Sidë’ has just cancelled a show in London, which was due to happen on June 13th. In a statement issued to all the Metal media the band from Los Angeles just said : “ We had to do it”. They also added: “ We feel really sorry for all the British fans.... we´ll come back soon.... but we just can´t play that day in England!.... According to the singer Joe Vince Neil he said that day they have something much bigger to celebrate.... He also told Kerrang! Magazine: “As you know we are touring most of

the main cities in Europe right now. Last month we played in Spain all the way through. One of the best shows was at Monroe’s in Torrevieja and its owner Neil Wyatt gave us a call the other day asking if we could play there for their 26th Anniversary on June 13th, so we rearranged our calendar. He is a very good friend of us and we just couldn’t turn down his proposal. It´s an amazin´place and the crowd was absolutely awesome.” Wild Side play rock from the 80’s, with their Motley Crew tribute with a lot of fun and gags, which creates a great atmosphere and cool connection with their audience.

by Keith Nicol CLASSIC AND Custom car fans know when they can’t get enough of a good thing and over the next four weeks they are spoilt for choice. Last Sunday an excellent turn out of around 100 cars graced the Ace Café event in Los Montesinos, as a taster of what else is to come during June. On Sunday there are actually two classic car events, the VII Concentration of Classic Cars in Novelda plus the First Custom and Classic Car Show in Pinar De Campoverde. On Sunday the Pilar de la Horadada Town Hall is collaborating with Torrevieja’s Mod Cruiserz to stage the first such event in the town. Starting at around 10am, cars and activities will be on display until about 4pm. A Bouncy castle will be there for the kids

along with a stall for The Adhoc Players, the non-profit theatre group, which gives their earnings from shows to local charities along with other stalls. Anyone with a classic, custom or special car is invited to attend. On display will be a selection of classic cars, American muscle cars, tuned cars, sport cars, hot rods and motorbikes, to name but a few. The event takes place on the only square of Pinar de Campoverde, beside the main road, next to all the bars and restaurants who will be offering their special deals of the day. There is a car park for visitors and those who wish to bring their car or bike to display can do so up from 10am. More information is available by visiting: www.facebook.com/

modcruiserzspain. The following Sunday at 9am, there is another display of classic cars in San Pedro del Pinatar as part of their month long fiestas and ferias. Which bring us full circle to the last Sunday of the month, June 28th, when cars and drivers will be headed a little bit inland to the Miroil Garage in Catral, for the ever popular Moonshiners event. And that brings us back to the first Sunday in July when cars and drivers will return to Los Montesinos for the Ace Café meeting, that takes place from about 10am until 1pm. Everyone is welcome to visit all the events and entrance is free. More information available from www.SundayDriversClub.com or on Facebook.

Walking for Life LAST SUNDAY, June 7th, Playa Flamenca was looking fabulous in Pink as hundreds of people gathered on the promenade for the annual Walk For Life. by Jack Troughton Although just out of hospital herself, Maria led the way around the 5K route, pushed in a wheelchair by husband Carl, and more than 500 walkers followed, many of them sponsored by friends and family. The walkers were sent off and welcomed back by The Torrevieja Pipes and Drums. A full day’s entertainment programme followed their return to the beachfront. Sunshine Radio hosted the programme throughout the day. Simon Morton and Stevie Spit performed and also introduced a glittering array of stars who all donated their performances

to Maria and The Pink Ladies AECC charity. Those who performed were The Karisma Choir, Rob Bonovox, Samantha Curtis, David John, Suzy G, Dan Davy, Dee, Richie Alexander, Benny Boy, Kylie Burgazzi, and Texas Ted. Maria was taken by surprise and visibly moved when Stevie Spit led five other stars, The Pink Ladies, and Pink Panthers, in a tribute song, “Run For Life”, dedicated to her and in gratitude for the leadership of the charity, and for the inspirational example she has set despite her own struggle with the disease. The performance was highly

emotional for all and it is planned to publish a recording to be sold for the benefit of the AECC. Maria expressed her thanks to all the people who supported The Walk For Life; all the bars restaurants and businesses, her Pink Ladies and Panthers, and all the performers who gave their time so generously. Unlike last year’s rainy event, the sun shone all day and it is hoped that when all donations and sponsorships are gathered in, the total contribution to the fight against cancer will set another record for Maria and The Pink Ladies.

The real deal

More than 500 joined in the Walk for Life

COMPETITION IS hot all summer long amongst the friendly card sharps of Javea U3A and the ‘Rummikubs 2’ group. Members are pictured enjoying the sunshine and the luck of the draw at Cafe Cortado in Javea Port, where they play on Thursday afternoon throughout the summer months.

Andalucía with shades of Portugal and the UK

OUR HOTEL in Benacazón with its fertile gardens, sparkling fountains and horseshoe shaped doors, immediately introduces us to the unique Moorish charm of the Andalucía region. ON DAY two, we visit Sevilla. The sparkling fountains of the delightful María Luisa park give way to the city centre, and the impressive Sevilla cathedral. Within easy walking distance are the charming old houses and cobbled streets of the old district of Santa María, the Maenstranza bull ring and museum, the museum of the Indies, and mini cruises on the impressive river Guadalquivir. Sevilla simply buzzes with the exotic charm and character of ancient Moorish Spain. The next day’s destination is Faro in the Algarve,

which has been successively ruled by the Romans, Visigoths and Moors and for a short time Spain. The earthquake of 1755 cost many lives here and did much damage, leading to years of rebuilding. The historical part of the city, known as Cidade de Vehla, is entered by an archway not far from the seafront. Sailing trips to nearby islands are available, and a tourist train shuttles you around the narrow streets of the city. Portugal is in the same time zone as the UK and also has shopping hours similar to the UK, forsaking the Spanish “siesta” for a shorter lunch time and an earlier closing time. The rock of Gibraltar has been a British possession since 1713. The busy main street boasts typical British shops. British soldiers stand guard outside the Governor’s residence. The Union Jack flies over official buildings. The famous Gibraltar monkeys patrol mainly the upper reaches of the rock, though sometimes appear in the town. British sailors from the battle of Trafalgar lie undisturbed in the graveyard, under the watchful

María Luisa park

eye of British Bobbies in their distinctive helmets. David’s Coachtrips offer all these destinations on a 5 day trip using a 4* hotel with half board including wine and water for only 265€. Next date is 26-30th July

Life Coach

WITH A background in family and matrimonial mediation, Life Coach Sara Bell helps Readers with their daily worries. If you are having difficulties with relationships, family, work or any other aspect of your life, then help is at hand.

Just a phase

I am a 15 year old boy, and I have terrible spots on my face. It is so embarrassing, and I feel everyone is looking at them. My Dad just says it’s my age, and he had spots too. You don’t have to suffer. If you have not done so already, go and see your family doctor. There are lots of good treatments that he / she can give you for Acne. Also, cutting down on junk food will help. Not many teenagers like to eat fruit and vegetables, but try and find a fruit you like, and eat lots of it. Also drink water instead of fizzy, sugary drinks. Your Dad is right, it is a phase, and you WILL grow out of it. In the meantime try not to pick at your face, as this makes it worse. A lot of spots are caused by bacteria from the hands, and constant picking.

Nothing to help My Dad is suffering from Alzheimer’s. I am caring for him at his home, along with my Mum. It is very hard. My sisters do very little. My one sister and I clash about this constantly. There is nothing she says to me that isn’t a criticism, while she is lacking in any kind of help. All we do is scream at each other when we meet. She seems to enjoy pushing my buttons, and undoing rota arrangements because, she has better things to do. If your sister is doing very little to help, then I would suggest excluding her from any arrangements. Try not speaking to her directly, when she visits, and talk generally. If she is ‘pushing your buttons’, maybe it is because you are allowing her to, and you are giving her the reaction that she is looking for. Be clever about how you handle her, and you can deflate the situation, but you must stand firm, and not react to anything she says.

Write to Sara in confidence. A pseudonym will be used if you wish. Sara reads all letters and can give a personal reply. Email your question to agonyaunt@roundtownnews.com or Sara is available for private consultations, telephone 633 614 476.

Famous young female singers forming groups has grown to epic proportions in America, with ´I´ll only be your friend if you stop seeing her´ scenario well in place. Young singers Ellie Goulding and Lorde have stirred mucho drama on twitter after posting photos of them hanging out with Taylor Swift’s said-to-be rival Katy Perry … Social Media doing its worst yet again! A half a dozen different singers have been linked with the theme song for the new Bond movie ´Sceptre, ´ but according to The Daily Star its Adele who´s been given the nod, “If anyone can pull it off it is Adele,” said the paper’s unnamed source. Could this mean Adele will win another Oscar and Grammy like with ´Skyfall.´ nice work if you can get it! Paul David Hewson hit the headlines in America last week when he went into Canters Deli in LA and ordered a corned beef sandwich and some fries. Why? And who is Paul David thingy? Bono is the person I´m banging on about and the scoff cost $20 and he left a tip of $150 is why he´s here today. Still looking for love after the download fiasco maybe?

Did Goldie study Psychiatry at College? Goldie Hawn is not just a pretty face, a statement I am sure you will entirely agree with after reading todays lead story.

Goldie and actor hunk Kurt Russell became an item 32 years ago but have never married, and on this subject she said in a very intimate interview in America last week “A lasting relationship isn’t about marriage, it’s about compatibility and communication, and you both need to want it to work, if one person doesn´t want it to work, it´s not gonna work,” right on GH!, although for a lady of 69, the way she has taken care of herself has surely been a bit of a bonus for Kurt! Goldie has 5 grandkids from her children Oliver and Kate Hudson and was being interviewed about an organisation she founded 10 years ago called MindUP. She clearly paid a lot of attention to the development of her own children and her children’s children as when asked about MindUp she said “The things we do early in life aren’t always what we will do later, we just keep growing, embracing change, we are the sum total of our life experiences, and if we don’t do any personal research or any personality and psychic excavation, we really aren’t growing, we’re only existing,” deep stuff indeed! Goldie was then asked about the ageing process and once again waxed lyrical Punch in Nib saying “Getting older is a fact of life, you go through the many transitions in life, bles Waits fo r Jonny! And w but ageing means you’re still on the planet, right? It’s all about how you make itness a beau tiit! It’s all in your mind,” well said that lady! ful friendship between 10 year old Jonn y and his duck MindUP equips children, educators and parents with vital social and emotional whose mothe literacy skills, helping them increase focus and reduce stress, and in 2010 it was r died before he hatched. introduced to schools in the UK.

Fan of Musicals and Elton John? If so, you´ve got yourself a double whammy! Musical Rocketman will soon be on Broadway and the West End, courtesy of the same team who brought Billy Elliott to the stage, and as if that’s not enough, the film Rocketmen is due for release soon starring Tom Hardy as the flamboyant singer. A bit of an overload perchance?

Basic Spanish for everyday needs by Jane Cronin

Possessives – questions: Word Order WE HAVE now spent two weeks on the subject of “possessives” but we are still missing one thing which is how to ask the question “Whose is this?” or “Whose are these?” Before we start on the Spanish I’m afraid I can’t resist putting my English teacher’s hat on for a second and pointing out the correct spelling of “whose”. It is very common these days to see it spelt “who’s”, which is only the abbreviation for “who is”. In Spanish “whose” is “de quién” (literally “of whom”). “Whose is this?” would be “¿De quién es esto?” whilst “Whose are these?” is “¿De quién son estos?” “Whose is this pen?” “¿De quién es este boli?” and so on. The answer would then be, for example: “Es mío” (It’s mine) or perhaps “Es de Pablo” (It’s Pablo’s) and so on. This question form “de quién” leads to a general observation about question words, that is the usual “who, what, where, when” equivalents, and their combined forms in Spanish. When a word such as “of” “with” “at” “to” forms part of the question, the Spanish equivalent of these words goes at the beginning of the sentence, in front of the question word. Another familiar example of what I mean is the question “What time?” which is Spanish is “¿A qué hora? (that is, “At what time?”) Although it sounds a little stilted, we can translate these directly into English (“Of whom …, “At what time …) and make some sense of them, even though nowadays we allow for a different word order in English. This is why when we translate the correct Spanish word order directly into English it sounds very old-fashioned and pedantic, even though in Spanish it is the normal way of asking a whole

multitude of questions. Here are some more examples: “¿Para qué estás haciendo eso?” - “What are you doing that for?” “¿Adónde vas de vacaciones?” - “Where do you go on holiday?” “¿En qué trabajas?” - “What do you work in?” (i.e. What is your job?”) ¿En qué aula estamos hoy? - “What classroom are we in today?” ¿De dónde eres?” - “Where are you from?” Each of these sentences raises a whole lot of issues about the different ways we ask questions, but what I want to point out particularly is the word order. It is as though we are saying “For what are you doing that?” “To where do you go on your holidays?” “In what do you work?” “In what classroom are we today?” “From where are you?” If you find this hard to take in, it is because it brings us back to our big problem with word order. Sometimes I have found students’ homework with sentences like: “¿Qué estás hacienda eso para?” This sentence is completely impossible and incorrect in Spanish, and in fact to the best of my knowledge we can never end sentences with the words “en, para, a or de”. The student here has simply written the sentence in the exact order the words come to mind in English. One final little thing to notice is that in the case of “adónde” the two words join together. This is in fact the equivalent of our very old-fashioned word “whither” but even I don’t speak like that any more!

Golfers chip in HELP OF Denia and the Marina Alta ‘putt’ over 4,000 Euros into its coffers after a successful fifth annual Charity Golf Tournament. by Jack Troughton The charity and Oliva Nova Golf course welcomed 27 teams to a competition organised by Campbell Lamont Golf on Sunday 31st May, starting with a 9.45am ‘shotgun’ start. Back at the clubhouse – where golfers and guests enjoyed a buffet lunch – there was an ‘Irish Auction’, rewarding the winner with a dinner for two at the Michelin Star rated Bon Am Restaurant. And the raffle was also drawn, first prize sending two people to Ibiza or Majorca courtesy of ferry company Balearia. HELP President Candy Wright presented prizes to the sporting winners and is pictured with organiser Campbell.

Admission to all the Lions’ concerts is free but members of the club will be amongst the crowd in distinctive yellow tops to rattle buckets and ask for donations. All cash collected at the concert is going towards the 20,000€ Teulada Moraira Lions Club has committed to raise to help fund a new therapy centre in Teulada to help those in the community with physical and mental disabilities.

with Aunty Virus

Windows 10 upgrade Dear Aunty, I have just reserved my “free” upgrade from Windows 7 to 10. Is there anything I should be doing ahead of the change? Microsoft say that the only incompatibility I have is Chrome Delta. However, I run Open Office rather than Windows Office for instance. Any information would be gratefully received. I guess a lot of your readers are in the same boat. I really love the column, and get very upset when I can’t get a copy of RTN. Regards, Ken Aunty says: This week, users of W7, and W8 probably noticed a new “windows icon” on their PC. This is a Windows 10 notification icon. Most users of W7 and W8 will be able to get a free upgrade to W10. By completing the notification, you are reserving your copy for when W10 is made

available to you, currently on the 29th July. There will, as you have pointed out, be some incompatibility issues, but in any case you should really do some preparation. Back up, on a separate external hard drive or pendrive, any or all documents, pictures, videos that you have on your PC. It is also a good idea to make sure you

have your W7/8 back up installation disks, so, if anything does go wrong with the W10 installation, you can use those disks to get back to your current version of windows on your PC. If you cannot get a paper copy of RTN, then the RTN website - www. roundtownnews.com - carries digital versions of the paper.

Dissappearing Firefox

Hi, Now just where do I start? Yesterday a friend wanted to show me how to do something on my computer. My Firefox disappeared and so I lost my Speed dial and TRE app. I am not sure I understand downloading - so please can you tell me how to download.Thank you for your help. Meri

Aunty says: Disappearing Firefox. It may be that you have simply lost the icon from your desktop.You should be able to locate it in the All programs from the Start menu. Or click the start icon and type in “firefox” in the search bar. If Firefox is not here, then maybe you (or your friend) have accidentally uninstalled it, in which case you will have to use another internet browser (Chrome, or IE) to go to the firefox website (it’s called Mozilla) and download and run the firefox set up.You download by clicking on the download links on the website.

Hanging paragraphs Aunty, Please help me again. How do I make a Hanging Paragraph? Thanks. Aunty says: I assume you are using MS Word, but the process should be similar in other word processors.

Horoscopes At last things are starting to work for you, but it hasn’t been easy, and there have been many bridges to cross on the way. Being able to see a way ahead means that you can start to bank on your realities and look forward to clarity and transparency. The zenith is the formation of the Sun with Mars midweek, the icing is on the cake at last. Calling time, Ceres intervenes to ensure something is finished within a given time scale. As a project has led to more then anyone though it would, it has brought with it inevitable pressure; and the need to interpret and adapt, whilst being open to experience just what’s really on offer right now. Take a bow, what’s next? Finances seem to be taking a tumble, and need to be reworked so that you can balance the books. Tightening your belt has brought rewards, but it may not be enough to see you through a financial rough patch. Neptune directs the need to revalue and assess because there is going to be a way out, if you work on a loophole. If you had known back then what you were taking on you would have never got involved. However let it be known, above all, that you do not carry the can for what has happened. Your integrity is never going to be in question, and you are not responsible for the actions of others, though you are being judged by their standards. Make hay while the Sun shines! The exalted Sun is in sextile and spreading a lot of energy in your direction bringing a golden opportunity. Eliminate fears and take what is happening as a sign that you have to take the bull by the horns right now. Others are waiting in the wings to judge your every move so give them the show of your life. Again it is all about the inner you right now and your inability to make a suitable and working connection with your innermost energies. You will regret your hesitation and the embracing of actions that allow you to stall, and not to see the potential in a situation that needs both your creative and emotional support to make it work. Ruled by the love of Venus, and governed by balance and stature you are always able to bring the truth to situations whereby consistency and fairness are valued. Currently somebody close to you needs help and for some reason is not able to face you to ask for it. You know what is wrong, and it is now time to intervene, not interfere! Saturn in wisdom should practise what it preaches as it is making you look a fool in a current situation. Your strongly psychic energies were aroused some time ago, and you know that the two wrongs you have experienced lately do not make a right. Forget sentiment and go and fight for what is rightly yours. All across the Cosmos there are portents of great change and diversion. Currently you are implicated in actions that require strength and not stealth to see them through. In the absence of Jupiter, recently exalted in the Sun, you may feel that you are alone in this, but come what may, resolution is a tool very much in your hands! Love comes as Venus brings you together with someone who finally seems to fit the bill. There will be some chance meetings, some serendipity and strong feelings that you have met before as Ceres, in opposition, brings timing into play. These signs bode well for an inspired friendship with no holds barred between you. Take responsibility for your actions and think before you say something that you may regret. Family issues need to be discussed as a whole right now. There is only one truth but others seem to have various versions of it. With your hand on your heart you are the truth seeker of the horoscope but you are certainly not to be messed with! With the love of Neptune backing you all the way it is time to make a decision that releases you from a future you are not going to be happy with. You may very well have bitten off more than you can chew, but it has actually worked to your advantage. See to it that you get what you need...it’s not selfish it is self assuring and you do need it.

Laughing gear THE ONE talent needed to work more intently with Spirit is the biggest sense of humour that you can muster. In a career that has been a rollercoaster I can say that I have laughed my way through whatever I could. The way that Spirit works is funny enough, especially when you look back and see things their way. How the Spirit World must laugh at experiences that they have all both endured and enjoyed. They say that one man’s meat is another man’s poison, and here Spirit allows us, each and all, to have our plusses and our minuses. There is no better therapy than to laugh. Even the serious issues of life are bolstered by humour and seeing the funny side of things. As tears change into smiles and laughter something very magical happens. We are often able to laugh at situations that brought us to crisis, with a smile that says that we have survived, we have learned, and that life goes on. The years of the second World War were tough, and people needed to laugh their way through it. You could wake up to find your neighbour’s house demolished and the whole family dead beneath it. Hard to smile? Well yes, but life had to go on and the continuity of loving care for fellow men meant that those who survived had to fight and not give in. In these peaceful days of crisis we are surrounded with problems too. Laughter won’t pay the bills but what is the point in being miserable? I have had to go on stage many times only to encounter a difficult audience. Since in my shows the audience are the most important feature of that show, I know that they are focussing on loved ones in Spirit. I understand that, but all Spiritual people know that death is the great beginning

Kenny‛s Postbag

and not the end of life. This should make connections through me very happy ones! I am giving out the evidence of survival which should get the happiest reaction of all. The odd joke, in context, breaks the ice with the audience, relaxes them; and the departed in Spirit are buzzing too. Spirit does not like a sad atmosphere. I have had many wonderful shows in bars and clubs and theatres. I have conducted a few funerals in my time too, and have to admit that if I was chosen to celebrate a wonderful life of the deceased they will want me to be my cheerfully happy self. There will have been laughter and tears, sorrow and excitement, love and care throughout any life, so why change things? I am sympathetic, yes of course, but why cry when you can laugh! Giving a Eulogy I always try to tell a happy story about any deceased person because they want to be remembered as being happy and smiling, at a time when back then the lottery that is life had not yet called their number. The late and great Joan Rivers was criticised for going on stage the night after the death of her husband, Edgar. She did jokes about the death and made the audience laugh, but she was knocked for it. Her response, ever feisty, was to remind everybody that she was a comedienne and that telling jokes was what she did. Also, too, she was making light of her own personal bereavement making people laugh; and they always did that, for her! Life is difficult enough sometimes, and a smile can be the hardest thing. Time and time again it is smiles of loved ones across the great divide of Death that I am so happy to encounter and to subsequently pass on. Loved ones in Spirit clearly love us for who we are, and their reciprocal smiles are often all that is needed to prove their happiness and ability to carry that smile right over to the Other Side!

KENNY, I need to know what my future will bring me so that I can make better decisions right now. I have options and they are confusing me greatly. I can’t see a clear way ahead. Mica.J. Mica, you need to make changes right now that will greatly affect your future. Divination that will tell you today what the future has in store will not help you in the way that you need. You need to make the changes right now that will enable you to enjoy a very different future, based on fate, destiny and calibrated on your very own wants and needs. There are very few fortune tellers who will work projecting current energy into the future when actually what is needed is a closer, more transparent connection with yourself to enable what must come next.

health

Hughes Syndrome THE CORRECT medical term for Hughes Syndrome is Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS). It is a disorder of the immune system which results in an increased risk of blood clots. In APS, the immune system produces abnormal antibodies called antiphospholipid antibodies that target proteins attached to fat molecules called phospholipids, which makes the blood more likely to clot.

What causes APS? APS is an autoimmune condition. This means the immune system, which usually protects the body from infection and illness, attacks healthy tissue by mistake. In APS, the immune system produces abnormal antibodies that target proteins attached to fat molecules called phospholipids, making the blood more likely to clot. It is not known what causes the immune system to produce abnormal antibodies, but like other autoimmune conditions, genetic, hormonal and environmental factors are thought to play a part.

be greatly reduced. Anticoagulant medication such as Warfarin or low-dose Aspirin may be prescribed. These reduce the likelihood of blood clots forming when they are not needed but still allow clots to form when a person cuts themselves. If a person develops a blood clot or symptoms suddenly become severe, injections of an anticoagulant called Heparin may be needed. Initial management will be in hospital though the patient will then be trained to inject themselves.

Who is affected? APS can affect people of all ages, including children and babies. However, it usually affects adults aged 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;50, and affects three to five times as many women as men.

Management in Pregnancy: For pregnant women, it is estimated that correct treatment will give them about an 80% chance of having a successful pregnancy. Women who are diagnosed with APS are strongly advised to plan for any pregnancies. This is because treatment to improve the outcome of a pregnancy is most successful when it begins as soon as possible after conception. Also some medications used to treat APS (such as Warfarin) carries a small risk of birth defects. Preferred treatment during pregnancy involves taking daily doses of aspirin or heparin, or a combination of both, depending on whether there is a history of blood clots and previous complications during pregnancy. Treatment is usually started at the beginning of the pregnancy and may continue for one to six weeks after the birth.

How do you know if you have APS? As well having a history of conditions caused by blood clots, such as strokes and deep vein thrombosis, people with APS may complain of: balance and mobility problems vision problems, such as double vision speech and memory problems a tingling sensation or pins and needles in the arms or legs fatigue (extreme tiredness) repeated headaches or migraines

Possible side effects of anti-coagulant medication: Side effects are uncommon and generally mild, such as indigestion or nausea. However, there is a risk of excessive bleeding (a haemorrhage). Symptoms of excessive bleeding can include: Blood in urine or faeces Severe bruising Prolonged nosebleeds (lasting longer than 10 minutes) Vomiting blood Coughing up blood

Anybody experiencing any of these symptoms should see their family doctor for further investigation. Diagnosis on symptoms only can be difficult therefore a specific blood test which is designed to help identify the antibodies responsible for APS is essential in diagnosing the condition.

All people taking anticoagulants will be closely monitored but if any of the above symptoms occur, the patient should seek medical attention without delay.

Risks for sufferers: It is estimated that APS is responsible for one in every six cases of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), strokes and heart attacks in people under 50. Pregnant woman with APS have been shown to have an increased risk of miscarriage, APS being responsible for one in every six cases of recurrent (three or more) miscarriages. The exact cause for this remains unknown.

Life style changes: When a person is diagnosed with APS it is important to take all possible steps to educe the risk of developing blood clots including: not smoking eating a healthy, balanced diet that is low in fat and sugar and contains plenty of fruit and vegetables taking regular exercise maintaining a healthy weight and losing weight if obese (have a body mass index of 30 or more)

Management: Although there is currently no cure for APS, if it is correctly diagnosed, the risk of developing blood clots can

Most people respond well to treatment and can lead normal, healthy lives. However, a small number of people with APS continue to experience blood clots despite

extensive treatment. Complications of APS: Less than 1% of people with APS will develop Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome (CAPS). Although CAPS is very rare, it is a serious complication. In people who develop CAPS, blood clots suddenly form throughout the body, resulting in multiple organ failure. It is not clear what causes this but one case in five occurs after an infection, trauma or surgery. Symptoms may include: loss of blood supply to the tips of the fingers or toes, causing them to go dark blue or black swollen ankles, feet or hands increasing breathlessness abdominal pain blood in the urine confusion seizures coma Symptoms are usually sudden and rapidly get worse. Immediate medical attention is vital. The patient will be admitted into an intensive care unit so that the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s functions can be supported. High-dose anticoagulants are used to stop the blood clots getting bigger while they are slowly absorbed by the body. However, even with the best available treatment the outlook for catastrophic APS is poor, with an estimated 50% of people dying as a result of the condition.

Join the Aircrew Association and live longer? THE AIRCREW Association held a celebratory lunch on Wednesday, 3rd June at the Parador Hotel in Javea to recognise and salute 12 of its members who are more than 90 years old! The association can proudly boast 15 members over 90 but, sadly, three were not able to attend. After a cava reception in the Parador gardens, members and guests were welcomed by the chairman, Max Maxwell and then enjoyed a special lunch, after the association’s honorary chaplain, Father Marcus Ronchetti, had said grace. At the conclusion of the meal, Father Marcus then read the aircrew exhortation and was followed by toasts to King Felipe, by the president Brian Weskett, The Queen, by life vice-president Peter Langley and The over 90s by the chairman. Peter Beechey, the founder and life vicepresident of the association, then responded on behalf of the over 90s and proposed the aircrew toast: ‘To absent friends and fellow aircrew’.

The results were: 1st place were Brendan Young and Paul Trigwell with net 62, 2nd, Mike Cuerden and Mervyn Joseph with net 63, followed by Steve Patton and Roger Miller in 3rd place with net 64 and Colin Foster and Alan Simpson 4th with a net 66.

Busy week at Javea! WHAT A week at Javea Bowls Club. On Monday Javea played Benitachell in the annual match for the Jubilee Trophy and Javea were able to retain the trophy with a sixteen points to twelve points victory. This Competition has been going since 2002 and both clubs have now won on seven occasions, so next year will have extra spice attached to it! Then, on Saturday, two of our teams entered the inaugural Bonalba Triples competition with Gail Chick and Greg Sperring coming third, just being pipped on shot difference for second place by Alan Phillips, Pat and John Pittaway. Congratulations to Bonalba on a super tournament. To end the week a Horse Race Meeting was held on the Green, with 70 people enjoying the fun. Six wooden horses on wheels, with jockeys, are each attached to a piece of string that has to be rolled in on a dowel over a course of 15 metres. Each race has six horses and the person doing it the quickest, wins the race. The best performing “jockey” was Roy Webb who won the final race which was the “Javea Gold Cup”. Canapes and a BBQ followed by strawberries and cream were enjoyed in the enclosure. It was great fun! Thanks to the team of organisers for their efforts.

Benitachell Bowls Club THE BENITACHELL Bowls Club continues to improve facilities for its members and the new bowls gatherers have now been modified to include advertising from main sponsors Dragon Insurance and Totus financial advisers. Last Friday the members had the opportunity to try them out for the first time.

Continental Wealth Management and Campbell Lamont Golf TWO ORGANISATIONS with a common goal - to be the best at what they do. By Tony Myles THERE ARE very few occasions when an individual or an organisation is afforded the opportunity of being involved in the start of an initiative that is destined to be great. The single minded support that was provided to such current superstars as Lewis Hamilton and Rory McIlroy by their family was quickly enhanced by significant sums from willing sponsors when their world-leading potential was demonstrated. How much greater is the credit to those who perceived that potential before it was universally apparent. This is just one of the reasons that Continental Wealth Management is delighted to be closely aligned to Campbell Lamont as he grows the international popularity of the Campbell Lamont Golf Leagues. A FITTING END! Over the past weekend and after four tough rounds of golf on one of the most demanding courses in Spain, many

spectators witnessed the thrilling conclusion of the 2014/15 Grand Final at La Sella. The drama had continued all the way to the 18th green. Then, with Club 25 sinking a 15 foot putt to square the match, the players and spectators made their way to the putting green for the golf equivalent of a ‘penalty shoot-out’, and as the final putt of Golf Relieu slipped past, by the slightest of margins, so Andy Coe and Andy Latter of Club 25 Golf courteously accepted the applause and the congratulations. The two Andys spoke to a number of media representatives and commented “This has been the most excellent golf event we have ever encountered, having played in several across the UK and Spain. It was expertly organised throughout and full credit must go to Campbell Lamont and his team.” VALUED SPONSORSHIP Prior to the conclusion of the competition more than 10,000 golfers from across Spain

and Europe had taken part and that number is set to double in the current year. It is incredible that from a handful of entrants just a few years ago, Campbell has grown this competition exponentially, matching the growth of their highly-valued sponsor, Continental Wealth Management. Darren Kirby, Chief Executive Officer commented - “In my company, one of our major strengths is ensuring that we make the right decisions for our clients and our careful management of their assets has meant that the confidence they place in my company has been well-founded. Today Campbell has proven that once again, we made the right decision when we decided to offer him our support and the added credibility that our name conveys. My entire workforce would like to join me in offering our congratulations to the winners and equally to Campbell

and his team who created such a magnificent event. We look forward to next year.” Entries for the Campbell Lamont Golf Leagues 2015/16 have already started to arrive and indeed many have commenced their own qualification process.

Peugeot RCZ GT

IT HAS become apparent that sports cars are a young person’s game. I DRAW this conclusion after my time with the magnificent Peugeot RCZ GT, the iconic roadster with the bubble roof. When I first sit in it I find myself quite taken a back. I feel out of my comfort zone. Is it middle age creeping in? Have I become too comfortable in a middle of the road hatchback? There’s a car behind and I try and find the bite of the clutch and it is far higher than I am used too, which results in the car rolling a little too near for my liking. But I find it eventually and all is well. The handbrake is quite high up too and it’s going to take me a while to become accustomed to the height of that steering wheel. I first drove the Peugeot RCZ in 2010 when it launched. Being back behind the wheel of this facelifted version is like being reunited with a long lost friend.

After all it’s a stunning sportscar and one that makes a significant birthday treat for my wife. The 1.6-litre 200bhp engine can be quick if required. The low ride height and the hard suspension all combine to make it feel like you’re travelling even faster. Even just a quick glance at the wing mirror is a joy for the driver who cannot help but noticing the bulging rear haunches of this beast. Although it does have rear seats these are almost completely impractical. I know. Against my better judgement I install my daughters’ car seats in the rear and find that the front seats have to be pushed so far forward that my knees are pushed up against my chin. I’m not that tall either. I am no designer but I am surprised at the capacity of the boot compared to the size of the interior as you can see in the video at www.testdrives.biz. We leave our daughters with their grandparents for the weekend and we’re able to really the RCZ through its paces over my wife’s birthday weekend by taking it on a trip to Bath. As a two-seater there is ample room for driver and passenger and there are all the luxuries you would expect from electric and heated seats to electric windows, air conditioning and cruise control and limiter. This is not a vehicle where you watch the economy, it is a car for driving pleasure. And with its notchy sixspeed manual gearbox it is

a delight. When it is revved at a certain point there is a raspy note to the exhaust that makes you want to put your foot down continually. It is a more than capable over taker and this machine certainly puts the joy back into motoring. Dual carriageways allow the driver to really open her up and she is certainly responsive. After a few hours with the RCZ I can report that the driving position is just right but I would still prefer the steering wheel to be lower and I cannot work out how to adjust it. This results in my hand mistakenly sliding onto the horn on a couple of occasions and embarrassingly tooting the car in front. Sticking at the ‘ten-to-two’ position avoids this problem. Arriving on Bath’s cobbled streets judders the back a bit but it’s a good massage and we find a tight parking space in the Royal Crescent. Annoyingly the RCZ does not fit in perfectly on the first attempt but it gets in. The housekeeper at No. 1 Royal Crescent is watching and as I get out to ask about parking charges, she says: “Two other drivers have tried to get in there and they couldn’t so I am very impressed you managed it in that car.” The rounded design of the vehicle certainly helps when reversing but it is a bit tricky to gauge quite how much space there is at the front. The front and rear parking aid beepers are certainly helpful. Facts at a glance Top speed: 146mph 0-60mph: 7.6secs Power: 200bhp Economy: 44mpg Video: www.testdrives.biz
