EL CAMPELLO - LA SAFOR

Expats help hotel fall Brit A BRITISH holidaymaker fell seven storeys from an apartment balcony and miraculously survived but suffered horrifi c injuries. by CAROLINE TYSZKA

Happy Bard-day your Majesty RTN was invited by the British Ambassador, Simon Manley, to the Queen’s Shakespeare themed 90th Birthday celebrations in Madrid last week. See page 7.

NEIL ELLERINGTON, 44, from Hull, partner Zoe Irving, 29, and their young children Nathan and Jaden were on the last night of their holiday when the accident happened. Now expats living on the Costa Blanca are rallying round to help Neil – who did not have insurance for the trip – get back home to his family. Spotting some friends passing by at around 2am on Wednesday 8th

June, Neil lent over the balcony of the Levante Aparthotel to wish them well for the rest of their holiday – but wearing socks, slipped and fell. The couple’s eldest son witnessed the accident and had desperately tried to grab his father before he disappeared over the edge. Luckily, Neil’s fall was broken by some plastic roofi ng below. Emergency services said this had saved his life. Turn to page 6.

A word from JT THE EU referendum race is run. We are officially in a brave new world and the whole affair will now go under the microscope, taking us from the gilded promises of politicians to the explanations of what it all means and how it will or won’t affect the Euro in your pocket. Possibly. Here at RTN Towers everyone was delighted to learn David Beckham had thrown his cap in with Team Remain. Not sure if such a move actually affected the polls but it’s good to know he is taking an interest even if we are in the middle of that other little bit of summer fun known as the European Championships. Teamwork is also playing a big part in helping get a stranded holidaymaker home. Neil Ellerington fell from a hotel balcony and suffered multiple injuries. Team Expat is using social media to try and raise the cash to get him back to his family – the links are with this week’s story. Sadly, there is another lesson behind the headlines of Neil’s remarkable escape. It underlines why the British Consulate and the travel industry constantly advises people to take out travel insurance; the family had no cover…but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Worries over fire risk RESIDENTS LIVING on a Marina Alta mountainside fear tinder dry undergrowth and glass bottles littering green areas could spark another blaze. by Jack Troughton Homes on Cumbre del Sol, a huge urbanisation at Benitachell, were evacuated two years ago when sparks from a workman’s machinery started a fire which quickly spread. A prompt and dedicated response from the emergency services prevented a tragedy. However, residents believe unless vacant plots and green areas are cleared as a matter of urgency, another tragedy could occur. Tom Blackie, President of Cumbre del Sol Residents Association, first alerted the town hall to the problem last August – in October when the matter was raised again he was told “not to worry as everything was under control and they were dealing with it.” However, he maintains nothing was done and appeals for action in December and January met with the same response. “Absolutely nothing has been done and here we are back in fire season again.” Tom took RTN to a wooded area, thick and dry undergrowth lies below the pine trees. “Within this area one resident collected more than 60 bottles which he stuck behind the wall – these are just thrown by workmen or whoever. “And obviously glass bottles left lying in an area like that is just asking for trouble – I have taken councillors down there and they said they would be removed; they are still there.” Tom said houses were being built in many areas of Cumbre and unless areas were cleared there was a risk of a repeat of the fire 24 months ago. “The risk is actually beyond our comprehension.” The town hall has announced the installation of 80 new fire hydrants across the community – none have yet been installed and with another water shortage threatened, residents fear they would be useless in any event. “We desperately need something to be done, even if it is only to clear up some of these fire risks and help prevent another blaze,” added Tom.

Make friends and learn the lingo JANE MANN and husband Walter enjoy life after becoming part of an international community after making their move to the sun. by Jack Troughton They live in Pinar de Campoverde – just inland from Pilar de la Horadada - and spent eight years researching the perfect location for their new home. And having moved full time about 30 months ago, Jane and Walter both feel they have to make time for fellow residents in the village; Jane is an active member of the local church and Walter is now Vice-President of Pinar de Campoverde Residents Association. “We found the town was vibrant and there was always something happening,” said Jane, one of a team of expats recruited by the British Consulate in Alicante to be a local ambassador – a scheme designed to share experiences and advice to help others in Spain or planning the move. “Making friends is important – we walked into the ‘vecinos office’ of the neighbourhood association; Walter used to design websites and ended up doing the website for the association...he still does.” Jane added: “We were determined not to come here and just close the front door and sit by the pool. We are learning Spanish; you have to make an effort to learn the language and it was top of our list, it is very important. RESEARCH “We have been here two-and-a-half years. Research is important but we perhaps went over the top a little bit. We spent eight years coming out twice a year and deliberately picked a month that was not high season because we wanted to know what the town was like; was it shuttered up during winter. If you live here, you don’t want a dead town.” She said they had already rejected the Balearics because it was too expensive and damp during winter, and found Malaga too over-developed. “We settled on the south east corner of Spain and used to come out; we started at La Manga and stayed there and over the years drove further up; we went to every town and every village,” added Jane. “We found every time we came on holiday, we didn’t want to go home. We finally settled on the area where we now live and came out and stayed five or six times over a period of three or four years and concentrated on that region.” She advised people to do their research and rent before they bought a home. “We didn’t need to because we had already done our homework; we made a list of our requirements and when we looked at properties, I carried a compass in my bag to check the

AN ILLEGAL Costa Blanca family-run residential home became a “lucrative” business for a British couple who “charmed” elderly English victims, it was claimed this week. by JACK TROUGHTON THE FAMILY of one of the fi rst residents say the “main concern” about 73-year-old Pauline Reynolds – who died in June last year – was how the husband and wife team took control of her fi nances. And they allege that their mother, who lived at the home from October 2013, complained the couple also listened in on her private ‘phone calls via baby monitors in a bid to control what she told people about the care home. Daughter Maureen Bennett, from Wakefield, said the house in Valver de Bajo, just outside Santa Pola, was “just a family home” but “it was like Fort Knox”. She said: “I think they started off by taking people in for respite. Mum went there for just a week once, it was her taster. “I think mum was the first actual long term resident and then they realised how lucrative it could actually be.” Earlier this month, the husband and wife, both aged 59, and their 25-yearold daughter, were arrested for fraud relating to the home, said by police to have been open about three years. CHARGE The Guardia Civil said residents were charged between 2,500€ and 3,000€ per month and five rooms were almost always occupied although carers were not qualified. Detectives said the elderly “apparently received dignified treatment” although on occasion some were shouted at by the owners. However, it was said the couple requested documentation and property deeds for safe keeping - and tried to convince pensioners to let them inherit. It was alleged the daughter, who worked in pharmacy, targeted potential residents - British people who lived in the area, who did not speak Spanish, and with few family ties. Maureen, who has a holiday home in Spain, said mum Pauline and dad Keith moved to Spain in 2003 but when her father passed away in March 2005, her mother decided to remain in Spain and bought the cemetery ‘niche’ next to her husband to be interred alongside him. She said in August 2008 Pauline suffered a mild stroke and went back to the UK for treatment and to recuperate, returning to Spain in 2009. As her health deteriorated the family employed carers to help out. “This was where she first met the wife. They did not particularly get on as they were both strong characters and each had quite a dislike of the other. “However, the husband, who was introduced initially to do some gardening, was very charming to Pauline and it became a regular occurrence that he took her shopping every Saturday and they had lunch out. He then became involved in her care...he was

Pauline Reynolds very charming to her and she liked him and his company. COMPANION “They used this to their advantage when they persuaded her to move in with them so they could offer 24 hour care and also companionship.” Maureen said she later discovered her mother paid 5,000€ as a ‘tenancy deposit’ which she believes was used to build an ensuite bathroom and paid for new wardrobes and blinds for her bedroom and sitting room; also taking her own furniture to the home. She added: “She was happy enough at first but then she obviously saw her true colours; the husband stopped taking her out and she was left with the wife doing her care and they often had arguments. When I rang to speak to her, mum would often say ‘I can’t tell you now, they’re listening in...I’ll tell you later’.” However, she said when she took her mother out; Pauline did not want to talk about the situation. Maureen continued: “They would often take the TV control away from her and mum loved her TV, it’s all she did. “I would often ring to be told she was sleeping and when I was in Spain and visited mum, we were rarely left alone and we couldn’t speak because mum said they had baby monitors and listened in to her conversations.” She said the “main concern” was how the couple took control of Pauline’s finances. “She would just given them her card and ask them to draw money out for her. On one occasion, when mum was ill and couldn’t go out and needed no money, two cash withdrawals were made in one week.” Maureen said the family then enforced a power of attorney; transferring care money into an English account and warning her mother not to give them cash – even having to block the couple’s plan to take her on a cruise with them at Pauline’s expense, “I don’t think they were very pleased about this.”

Expats help hotel fall Brit A British holidaymaker fell seven storeys from an apartment balcony and miraculously survived but suffered horrific injuries. by Caroline Tyszka Neil Ellerington, 44, from Hull, partner Zoe Irving, 29, and their young children Nathan and Jaden were on the last night of their holiday when the accident happened. Now expats living on the Costa Blanca are rallying round to help Neil – who did not have insurance for the trip – get back home to his family. Spotting some friends passing by at around 2am on Wednesday 8th June, Neil lent over the balcony of the Levante Aparthotel to wish them well for the rest of their holiday – but wearing socks, slipped and fell. The couple’s eldest son witnessed the accident and had desperately tried to grab his father before he disappeared over the edge. Luckily, Neil’s fall was broken by some plastic roofing below. Emergency services said this had saved his life. Doctors discovered Neil suffered a bleed on the brain, a fractured skull, a collapsed lung, broken vertebrae and broken collar bones. And because of the severity of his injuries he was put into an induced coma for a short period to allow his body to cope with the trauma caused by the accident. Zoe took their two children

back to the UK to ensure that they looked after by family and friends, but immediately returned to Villajoyosa hospital with Neil’s mother Barbara Mann. And Barbara told the RTN: “It has been such a distressing time. Although Neil is now awake, he is very

sibly earlier. But throughout the journey back to the UK, he will need to be kept completely flat,” she said. Unfortunately, the family did not have private medical cover for the holiday. Although Barbara said it was “something Zoe has always done in the past, she is so organised, sadly this time the trip just crept up on them and, as happens, it just got overlooked this time.” Both women have been overwhelmed with the messages of support that they have received from hundreds of people but Barbara could not hide how disappointed she is with the British Embassy. She said: “We called them immediately to ask for their help and they have done nothing! Every time I have spoken with them they simply send me an email with some link or other - that is all they have done – despite us only having a mobile phone connecting us to the outside world. I am disgusted.” A crowd funding page has been set up by Debbie Law from the Costa Blanca South Chat Facebook page to help raise an estimate £15,000 to get Neil back to the UK and reunited with his children.

Queen’s happy Bard-day #NationalNews

BY JACK TROUGHTON

SHAKESPEARE CAME alive for more than 800 guests at the Queen´s 90th Birthday Party at the British Ambassador´s Residence in Madrid last Thursday night. The celebration was a Midsummer Night´s Dream as Puck and Bottom posed for photographs with people on the lawn and star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet played out the balcony scene to huge applause. Playwright William – 2016 marks the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death – also wandered through the crowd armed with a quill. Tragedy was also remembered as a two minute silence was staged to remember murdered Labour MP Jo Cox, the 42-year-old mother of two, killed earlier in the day. She was fatally shot and stabbed when about to open a constituency surgery in the West Yorkshire town of Birstall.

“RTN and the Costa Blanca News were both delighted to be invited to the garden party by Ambassador Simon Manley and his wife Mrs Maria Isabel Manley.” And, ﬁttingly, it was very much a celebration of all things British. Guests were greeted by a Union Jack painted Mini at the entrance, and beer, gin and tonics, cheese and other party food provided a taste of the UK. Guests toasted Her Majesty’s health with champagne and were also invited to taste a colourfully decorated birthday cake baked for a very special occasion.

Spanish air traffi c strike announced by CAROLINE TYSZKA AIR TRAFFIC controllers in Madrid have announced a two day strike for next week. The announcement that the Spanish controllers will be staging a two day action on 28th and 29th June comes after passengers have faced months of disruption caused by their colleagues in France abandoning their posts several times. Ineco, who currently employ the controllers, has been reported as making changes to the workers employment contracts which has resulted in the 47 air traffi c staff fearing for their future. However to further complicate the issue Aena has put out to tender the management service platform of the Madrid-Barajas Adolfo Suรกrez Airport run by the SDP. The SDP (El Servicio de Direcciรณn de Plataforma) has been responsible for directing the movement of aircraft on the ground since 2011 but tenders for the new contracts are due on the 27th June, the day before the strike. It is feared that this midweek strike will aff ect thousands of travellers at one of the busiest times of the year particularly as schools have fi nished for the summer and families begin their holidays.

Demand to end Bullfighting FIVE HUNDRED people joined Deputy Mayor Ángel Pavón and Councillors Marisol Moreno and Victor Dominguez to demand an end to the bullfighting held every year to celebrate San Juan in Alicante. by Rhiannan Bell

Various animal rights associations marched last Saturday through the streets. The protest toured the city and culminated in a manifesto being read at a rally. Protesters held banners with slogans such as ‘Alicante for a Bloodless Hogueras’, ‘Torture: Not Art, Not Culture’ and ‘For Torture there is no Debate’. Councillor for Animal Protection Marisol Moreno, insisted they will push a public consultation to “determine what Alicanti-

nos want to use the Bullring for”. Mr Pavón said that it was not within the local authority´s power to prohibit or authorise bullfights, but to decide the use as to what municipal buildings were intended. He pledged to “accept the result of the consultation whatever it is”, but stressed that the Hogueras, which are the official fiestas of the city, “don’t have to be linked to the bullfighting.” The current use of the bullring is valid until 2017, so it would be after that time other uses for buildings could be decided.

Noche San Juan celebrated

THE NOCHE de San Juan, a celebration of the shortest night and longest day of the year, was celebrated up and down the coast last night, June 23rd, including Benidorm. by Caroline Tyszka The annual event which marked the summer solstice is full of pagan traditions with fire and water being the main themes. Thousands gathered on their local beaches to mark the occasion. With bonfires, where allowed as many towns had restrictions due to the current high fire alerts. Tradition says if you jump over the fire three times you can burn away any problems and cleanse your spirit. At the stroke of midnight, again according to tradition, many ran into the sea believing it would wash away any evil spirits and rejuvenate their body and soul. Towns in the north of the region celebrating includedJavea, La Cala de Finestrat, Albir and Alicante. In the south of the region the Torrevieja Playa del Cura celebrated as well as beaches along the Almeria coastline. Additional TRAM services were laid on so that people could travel to their chosen beach without having to worry about parking vehicles and drinking. Benidorm, for the first time, threw a party on the beach as businesses on the frontline, members of the Ociobal association, got together to host the celebrations.

New blue wine made in Spain BRITISH WINE consumers will soon be able to order online a new wine, made from Spanish grapes that is blue! Gik blue wine was created by six young entrepreneurs with the aim of revitalising the Spanish wine industry which they believe is extremely traditional. Using different varieties of red and white grapes from around Spain the group found that anthocyanin, a pigment from the red grapes’ skin, and indigotine, which is derived from plants, gave the wine its bluish colouring. At 11.5 percent alcohol they suggest that it is ideally suited for being drunk with sushi, nachos or pasta carbonara. The producers say that 70,000 bottles have already been sold within Spain and that when it is launched to the English market a bottle will cost around £8. One of the creators told reporters that “none of us liked traditional wine, so we decided to start a little revolution by creating a sweet, easy to drink and blue wine.”

Smuggling gang arrested A GANG operating from Malaga and Palma de Mallorca have been arrested for smuggling goods from Eastern Europe. by Caroline Tyszka Guardia Civil officers held six people in Spain and four in the Czech Republic with three further European arrest warrants being issued. Operation Goat involved an international force of officers from Europol, the Czech Republic, Belgium and the UK. The gang was importing Eastern Europe goods such as tobacco and alcohol, using Belgium as a hub where they used several buildings to store the goods. Most customers were found to have come from the UK, Spain and other western European countries; having ordered over the internet for shipments which were then organised in Palma de Mallorca.

Tragedy at car rally

A CAR rally, being held on the island of Mallorca ended in tragedy on Saturday as a car left the track and slammed sideways into spectators. The accident at the RallysprintAficio de Calvia, occurred as a driver failed to negotiate a hairpin bend and swerved

into the crowd. Six people are reported to have been injured with one young spectator, aged 18, in intensive care at the Palma Son Espases Hospital with spinal injuries. A 39-year-old man, who suffered a broken tibia and fibula, is being treated

at an ICU unit in the Juaneda Clinic, also in Palma, whilst a 60-year-old man had to undergo a foot amputation. A fourth person was recovering from severe chest injuries in the Rotger Clinic. Two others were also taken to a local clinic for treatment. It was reported that a safety officer had asked the spectators to move from the corner earlier but that they returned to the area.

Terror alert in Brussels POLICE ARRESTED a man in Brussels shopping centre in an anti-terror operation on Tuesday after he was reported to be acting suspiciously at a shopping centre in the Belgium city. Specialist officers rushed to the scene and began closing off streets surrounding the centre as a bomb disposal team moved in. Prime Minister Charles Michel held an emergency national crisis meeting. The terror alert in Belgium is at level three, just one off the maximum level of four. The man, known to the authorities, was later described as being â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. He called the police saying that he was wearing a suicide belt - it was later found to be fake. The incident came just days after Belgian authorities charged three men with attempted terrorist murder after raiding dozens of homes linked to a reported threat to fans watching a Euro 2016 football game. Prosecutors charged the three men, named as Samir C., Moustapha B. and Jawad B., but released nine others after questioning.

Stone walled EMERGENCY WORK to repair the sea wall at a Costa Blanca harbour will continue through the height of the tourist season – despite protests from councillors. by Jack Troughton The Valencia government – responsible for the work – insists the three month project at Puerto Blanco in Calpe must go ahead before seasonal storms arrive to threaten the port, beach, and nearby buildings. However, nearby residents have already complained about the disturbance and in a letter to Valencia, Mayor Cesar Sanchez underlined the importance of tourism to the Marina Alta town’s economy. Councillor Carole Saunders explained: “Valencia has said it cannot do anything else. They have to do the work now because if it was started in October, there could be terrible damage if there was a severe storm. “Unfortunately, it has taken a long time to start the work and get Puerto Blanco sorted out. However, it will be the jewel in the crown of Calpe once it is completed. “I am sure when it is finished, everyone will be delighted with the result; meanwhile we are very sorry for the inconvenience.” And there could be good news for property owners – it is expected the completed work in the cove will boost prices.

Studio exhibition

JAVEA ARTISTS Brigitte Schemmel and Maggie Morgan are showing examples of their work in Brigitte’s studio in the Old Town on Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd July.

Art in dance studio ARTIST JAN Calderwood has found an ideal home for her exhibition of dance pictures; Javea-based performing arts company Studio 23. She has 20 pictures on show until the end of the summer, mainly featuring ballet, tango and flamenco – the other paintings still include women or girls – bringing a splash of colour to the studio. Jan, who also teaches students in the area, said the exhibition could be seen when the studio was open in the late afternoons, early evenings and on Saturday mornings. “I thought using an actual dance studio for pictures was an ideal way of showing them off,” she said. “Studio 23’s Xenia has been very kind and accommodating.” Opening times can be found by visiting www. studio23javea.com and find out more about Jan’s work and classes – which start again in September – at www.artonoffer.com.

Brigitte will show her ceramics and Maggie a collection of collages and paintings at Calle Metge Jaime Marti 5, Javea Pueblo – a short distance from the health centre. The studio will be open on the Friday between 6pm and 8pm, and on Saturday from 10am until 2pm and again from 6pm to 8pm.

Pallet thieves caught GUARDIA CIVIL officers have arrested three members of a Spanish family in Alicante for stealing pallets and then selling them on. The husband and wife aged 39 and 37, together with

their son, aged 20, are accused of carrying out the offences in Callosa de Segura, San Miguel de Salinas, El Campello and Jijona. And when police searched their premises they recov-

ered 40 plastic and wood pallets worth about 2,000 euros. It is alleged they took the pallets from industrial buildings, farms and supermarkets travelling in a van during the day; hoping to catch workers off guard. The stolen pallets were then offered to recycling companies and other industrial or agricultural businesses.

Dog dies in transit to Spanish new life by Caroline Tyszka A FAMILY is in mourning after their beloved dog died travelling from the UK to meet them as they looked for a new home in Spain. Skye, a 16-month-old Husky/ German Shepherd cross, was collected in Benfleet, UK earlier in the month and was due to be reunited with his owner, Tanya Louise, 9 days later. Tanya had travelled with her partner James to Malaga on Monday, June 6th looking in Malaga for a home for them and their seven year old son with Skye expected to arrive on 13th June. The Joni Fitz Distribution company who had arranged for Skye to travel gave no indication that anything untoward had happened until Tanya rang them to get a confirmed meeting time. Tanya messaged the driver saying how excited they were that Skye was nearly back with them, and the driver replied “I

will call you in twenty minutes.” She said: “An hour later he called. The minute I answered I heard something had happened in his voice. He said “I’ve lost your dog”. I just cried and put the phone down.” They were told that the dog had escaped from the company’s local warehouse the previous day and the family immediately went to search for Skye, staying out all night but could not find him. Skye’s body was eventually found in a ditch with a vet saying that he had been dead for at least seven days. Tanya told a local reporter: “Skye was my best friend. We had the most exciting walks together in the UK and I was looking forward to having evening walks in Spain together. All I want now is the truth.” A spokesman for the company said due to a family bereavement they were unable to give any more details as Tanya and James said they will not give up until they find out exactly what happened.

Benidorm link to AVE OFFICIALS HAVE confirmed that a bus service will link Benidorm and the high speed AVE train network at Alicante with services from Monday (27th June). by Caroline Tyszka The service, which has taken three years to become a reality, will see eight buses covering the route from the resort and six will travel the opposite way. . The first bus on Monday will depart at 10.30 am from Alicante, connecting visitors from Madrid to Alicante and then onto Benidorm. As reported in the RTN last week the Benidorm council approved three stops for the shuttle buses: one at the bus station, another on Avenida Jaime I, and one in Europe. The full service will see the buses leave Benidorm at 5 am Monday to Friday to enable travellers to link the first AVE train from Alicante to Madrid, at 6.15 am. This time also helps passengers wanting to get the Euromed to Barcelona at 6.40 am. On Saturdays and Sundays there will only be two buses operating from the town, 7.15 am and 4.45 pm – with buses leaving Alicante at 10.30 am and 3.15 pm. In addition to travelling to Benidorm the buses will continue on to Altea and Calpe.

The Pilgrims of Bedar Eileen Kilmurry, a Bédar resident, is joined again this year by Paramedic Jackie Windsor to walk the last part of their journey along the pilgrims’ Way of Saint James, ‘El Camino de Santiago’. by MarianMay Simpson This historic journey was the greatest pilgrimage and dates back to the Middle Ages to honour the apostle St James, whose tomb lies below the Romanesque cathedral in the city of Santiago de Compostella in the province of La Coruña, northwest Spain. Eileen began her pilgrimage in 2013 choosing El Camino Francés which begins at Saint Jean Pied de Port on the French side of the Pyrenees and totals about 800 kms. In 2014, the pilgrims picked up the journey from Roncesvalles, on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees, ending in León. And this year in July, the two women will walk the remainder of El Camino from León, until they reach the shrine of Saint James, at the pilgrimage site at Santiago de Compostela, a total of 330 kms. Modern travellers, like the two Bédar pilgrims, join and leave El Camino, at different points, taking their ‘Credencial’ pilgrims passport with them to be officially stamped, as proof that they have completed the journey, and by following the official route. The holder of the stamped Credencial will receive a ´Compostela´, a certificate of completion of the pilgrimage, by the pilgrim’s office in Santiago. Eileen and Jackie will leave Bédar on 29th June, travelling by train from Almeria to León and begin their planned journey, aiming to walk about 21 kms each day over sixteen days, arriving at Santiago de Compostela on 16th July.

Each year the pair, who fund the whole trip themselves, has used this journey as a way to raise money for local causes and have decided to look for sponsorship in order to buy First Aid equipment for the newly formed Protección Civil group in Bédar and to support Asprodalba. Anyone wishing to sponsor this pilgrimage, please reply to me, MarianMay Simpson, at mmaysimpson@hotmail.com or contact her at the Town Hall, Bédar.

Man took videos of children A SPANISH man has been arrested and charged for having videos and images of young children in Valencia. The 43-year-old from Torrent, Valencia, came to the attention of the Guardia Civil following around forty complaints from the parents who said he had filmed the inside football dressing rooms. Operation BETENASA began in May of this year following the discovery of two video cameras hidden in the dressing room of a sports club. The accused is believed to have placed the cameras by pretending to carry out maintenance work in the changing rooms and then kept the recordings, which featured several clubs and their young members. A search of his property found computer equipment with more than 320,000 files stored and officers seized this as well as mobile phones and a vehicle. The operation came just in time to prevent further images being made as the accused was about to start working as a summer camp monitor.

Ground control to Major Tim by Rhiannan Bell THE UK astronaut Tim Peake landed safely in Kazakhstan at the weekend. Major Peake and two other crew members travelled back to earth on board the Soyuz capsule having successfully unlocked from the International Space Station (ISS) in the early hours of Saturday morning. During his stay, he made the first spacewalk by a UK astronaut and remotely steered a robot on Earth, he also participated in the London Marathon, held science classes for school children and presented Adele with her global success BRIT award, reducing the singer to tears. The other two astronauts travelling with Peake were Russian Yuri Malenchenko and US Timothy Kopra, having spent 186 days on the ISS.

Star Trek actor killed in freak accident A YOUNG up and coming actor has been killed in what can only be described as a freak accident in California. Anton Yelchin, aged 27, who plays a starring role in the Star Trek Beyond film due to be released in July became pinned between his Chrysler car and a post box on his way to rehearsals on Sunday morning. Yelchin was discovered after concerned friends visited his home in San Fernando Valley, California, because he had failed to attend a rehearsal hours earlier, he was found at the scene trapped between the vehicle and a brick post box along a security fence. Jenny Hauser, an LAPD spokesperson said: “It was the result of the victim’s own car rolling backwards down his steep driveway. The victim was on his way to meet his friends for rehearsal, and when he didn’t show up, his friends went to his house, where they found him deceased by his car. It appeared he had momentarily exited his car leaving it in the driveway.” Paramount Pictures, the film company which makes Star Trek, said in a statement: “All of us at Paramount join the world in mourning the untimely passing of Antony Yelchin.” Born in Russia, an only child, the actor moved to the US with his family, who were professional figure skaters, when he was just a baby. He had his first acting role when he was just nine years old. Fiat Chrysler is investigating whether an issue with the car rolling while in ‘park’ mode could have killed the Star Trek actor. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in February that 2015 models of the vehicle - like Yelchin’s - could continue to move after drivers thought they had locked them in “park”, and linked the issue to more than 100 crashes.

He is the first person to visit space under the UK banner since Helen Sharman in 1991. Speaking in his last live link-up from space, Major Peake said: “It’s been a fantastic six months up here - a really remarkable, incredible experience. I’m looking forward to coming home, looking forward to seeing my friends and my family, but I am going to miss this place.” Once back on earth Tim is described as experiencing the feeling of “the wold’s worst hangover” as his body adjusts to gravity. He is reported as having dizziness and vertigo since returning, although experts say that this is normal for anyone who has spent a sustained period of time in a zero gravity environment. His achievements have earnt him a Queen’s Birthday Honour that was out of this world – Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George for ‘extraordinary service beyond our planet’.

Blue flag returns to Finestrat

Mountain wildfire PHOTOGRAPHER ALEC Bettney was able to capture the cruel beauty of the wildfi res in Valencia spreading across mountain ridges. THE NIGHT shots show the vivid colours of the blaze – tackled in daylight by brave pilots flying helicopters, light aircraft using flame retardant and heavier seaplanes dropping water. He said he was up at 4am on the balcony of his home near Xativa which overlooks the mountain ridges of Carcaixent. “The first ridge is about 4km away and the flames spread across an area about 8km long,” said Alec. “The fires started last Thursday and the night shots were taken early on Friday morning. “It was all over by Sunday afternoon – the fires are now out completely although a helicopter does fly around every day, obviously to maintain a fire watch.” Alec is a professionally trained photographer and does accept commissions.

Banks accept the latest sentences and pay back the money to those affected in Almanzora Country Club (Huma Mediterraneo) WE ARE happy to report further good news to buyers affected after buying off plan in the Almanzora Country Club complex, from the promoter Huma Mediterraneo. THE MAIN bank of the promoter Huma (BP) has accepted without filing an appeal, the recent judgment of the Provincial Court of Murcia, number 163/2016, where the appeal court confirmed the court decision granted in favor of several clients who presented a joint action represented by our firm. The same Bank, in another recent judgment won by ourselves in favor of a British couple, has accepted the judgment granted in April 2016 by the Court No. 4 of Totana, once again without appealing. This marks a change in the bank litigation strategy, since before they systematically appealed all court decisions. Similarly, in certain cases, other banks that opened bank accounts for Huma Mediterraneo and received payment on account from their buyers, are accepting responsibility before the courts, even before the court decision is granted, acquiescing to claims presented by our firm. Whilst we do not know if this change in their court strategy is definitive, we believe it is likely due to the number of court orders granted against banks by Spanish judges. Recent Supreme Court rulings have made clear their position and interpretation of the law 57/68, noting that buyers who do not have their money guaranteed by an individual guarantee, could still claim from the banks that received the money and opened special accounts to developers without ensuring that the necessary guarantees to refund the money if the developer could not hand over the properties were in place, as required by law. The banks are also responsible if they grant a general bank guarantee line for the development, even though they had not granted an individual guarantee for some buyers. Our firm has helped many people affected to recover their money, having won 100% of the claims filed against Huma Mediterrano banks in this complex. We encourage affected consumers of the complex Almanzora Country Club to claim. Moreover, we charge our fees if only we win and you get paid by the bank, and usually in these cases, the judges will ask the bank to pay our legal fees. Do not hesitate, contact us and we will help you.

By the time you read this article we should know the Brexit result and the effect if any on the world’s financial markets. Life is full of choices and risks, usually people opt for the safest choice, or the one that means little or no change, the saying is “better the devil you know”. However for most expatriates this is not the case, for those of you who have retired or relocated to Spain you have already shown that you are not adverse to changing your life even if there are risks associated with that change. Most of you made this change as you felt it was beneficial for some reason or another to your wellbeing and future. This rational works equally as well when looking at wealth management, at the moment in an uncertain financial environment of low growth and low returns unless you are prepared to move away from the tradition deposit/savings accounts your money is just not going to work for you and if you need to take income your capital will be quickly eroded.

Now that Brexit is out of the way there is no better time to work with a professional adviser to manage your wealth to try to maximise its growth potential. It’s time to take a serious look at all the options out there, diversify your portfolio and where necessary take a calculated amount of risk for potential returns that meet your requirements.

All our yesterdays by JACK TROUGHTON

ANTIQUE HUNTERS and collectors on the Costa Blanca enjoyed a fair at the weekend as a new event boasting timeless treasures opened its doors last Sunday. A fourth Antiques Fair at the Salon Canor in Teulada has been added to the calendar and successfully attracted a crowd of people on Sunday interested in browsing the stalls.

Organiser Sue Horey said the new date was agreed to satisfy popular demand and the response was encouraging. “It has been very good for me and I hope for all the stall holders,” she said. “We have had more people through the door than expected because it is the first one in June. “We have been staging these shows for years and they are very popular; next June we hope can only be even better.

“And in general, there’s lots of interest in the hall. I have sold to Russians, French, Spanish, Germans and lots of British.” She said antiques fairs were ‘very in’ and with a host of programmes on the television, people were very interested on what was on offer. “And there is a great variety of antiques on show and many different people here selling them,” added Sue.

Dick Handscombe Practical gardener and author

Some hints for summer gardeners TODAY IS the first day of July and by the end of the month we will probably have had the hottest garden temperatures of the year as well as the hottest feisty debates over the Brexit results. Unfortunately I had to send this copy before the results were publicised. In the same way gardeners will be determined to maintain garden colour, prevent plants from wilting beyond a recoverable level, battle with bugs using eco methods, maintain deadheading and the pruning of dangerous branches and do all four without wilting oneself. Let’s look at each in reverse order. Prime gardening times are in the cool of the morning 06.30 to 10.30 and 6.30 to 10.30 in the evening except on entertaining days. As you wander around the garden deadhead and prune dangerously over hanging branches as you come to them. Eco gardening is most essential during the summer as with visitors around there are more people in your own and neighbours gardens preferring to avoid breathing in chemically polluted air from insecticides, fungicides and fertilizers. In this respect I noticed this week that Neudorf’s anti ant spray is now powered by liquid air. Hopefully other garden products will be designed in similar ways. If you can’t find the product locally then resort to pouring boiling water into cracks in paths and dusting ant runs with natural yellow sulphur powder. I am afraid that I have not had much success over the years with the mini ant trap tins - seems that ants warn each other to avoid the holes in the tins like bacteria become immune to some antibiotics. One of the common dangers when watering plants in the evening is to start off spraying hot water heated by the sun while lying in an unrolled garden hose. So don’t leave hoses rolled out and keep rolled up ones in the shade. Automatic irrigation systems are now best set to operate a little after midnight when plant foliage and surface soils have cooled off and there is time for water to get down to root levels before water is lost by evaporation once day time temperatures start to rise. If you are determined to continue to fertilize flowering plants during the summer, I don’t, recognise that new young weak growth wilts quicker that tougher mature growths. So dilute two or three times your winter concentrations in the same way that wise gardeners, especially in Andalucia, dilute their summer wines with aerated water or cazera. If you have vegetables growing in full sun crops with survive longer if given some shading until the end of September and the cost of watering will be reduced. In this way you can keep plants strong enough to be able to harvest tomatoes, peppers and aubergines through to Christmas. Of course another way is to crow summer salad and grilling vegetables in builder’s buckets or a growing table in a semi shaded place.

‘Starting to harvest for a salad including hibiscus flowers en route’ Hope this week’s ideas hep you survive the hottest weeks of the year sanely.

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.

She’s a flirt

My new wife has always been a flirt. I notice how she still desires the attention of other men even after we married. She says it is harmless, and she is only having fun, but someone told me that she had been seen having several cosy conversations with a man where she works, and she is being secretive with her phone. I want loyalty from her, and a future where we only want each other. I don’t look at anyone else, and I don’t understand why she doesn’t feel the same. Flirtatious behaviour in a marriage can be dangerous. Engaging in intimate conversations with members of the opposite sex leads to emotional experiences that cloud judgment, and can ultimately progress toward physical intimacies outside of marriage. You took vows to be faithful to each other, but your wife is pushing the boundaries. Your marriage could be in trouble. If you can get her along to couples counselling this may help.

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 650 054 467.

Drifting apart

My husband and I are so busy with our jobs. We work different hours, and hardly see each other. When we get time off, because the other is invariably working, we go out with our respective friends a lot. I feel we are almost leading separate lives and drifting apart. We talked about it, and agreed something needs to be done. Relationships suffer when couples don’t mesh their lives through shared activities, recreational companionship or spending enough time together. Time needs to be set aside to enjoy conversation, common interests, holidays and fun. Time spent together should be anticipated with pleasure. Without this component, over time couples drift apart and have little in common. You say you need your jobs and of course work is important. But, if your schedules don’t become more compatible, your identity as husband and wife may be lost completely. Decide what is more important in your lives, and make changes.

Right at the beginning of the week a conjunction with Mars makes things a lot more complex than it needs to be. If nobody will listen then silence may just be the right action to take, but here and now something needs to be said. A double action with Venus may just see you going back to a past action to get resolve and transparency; which is what you need right now. Both Saturn and Neptune should inspire your current way of thinking, influencing both future plans and finances, both which are open to discussion and need to be taken seriously if any benefit is to come your way. The midweek sextile between Mercury and Uranus heralds new enterprise, and you should have no fear in putting your best foot forward ; even though you haven’t made absolutely binding decisions. Keeping things open right now allows you to make the subtle choices that are vital, both to you and to the success of the project now in hand. The entry of Mercury at the end of the week makes a huge difference to your workload and to how you currently are feeling about things in general. A refreshing and vital input from the planet of Communication lifts your anxietiesand urges you to import your skills and brush away any doubts that you seem to have accumulated on the way! You can’t survive on foolish pride, and what has happened has happened and there is no going back now. In hindsight you needed to have backing and an escape route in sight, but all is not lost. With the Sun as Governor of the Cosmos well installed, play for the loophole that now exists and take that on because it is now something to chew on. Mercury dominates the Cosmos this week and a midweek sextile with Ceres helps to balance and rectify something rather wonderful. You have indeed put all of your eggs into one basket, and that means that taking a risk now, when the cards are down, will bring the rich rewards you need to carry on with your most inspiring work to date!

Venus takes on Saturn and is encouraged to take on the wisdom and power associated with this subtle planet. Love is very much in question at the moment, but you are being true to yourself when you hold back, as there are questions of importance that have remained unanswered. Because you have to be sure, stall for time whatever you do!

You are about to be rewarded for the good things you have been doing, so hold your temper; even if those around you right now appear to be losing theirs. You have made a huge difference to a situation that was sticky to say the least, but your patience and diligence are about to be the focus as news of your actions impacts on those who care.

All is well at last, as you turn the page on a matter that is best forgotten, but not forgiven. Mercury calls time on a project that needed impetus, but which lacked both leadership and control too. Both things out of your hands and you are blissfully free to make some plans once again, hopefully with an eye to you taking a well deserved breather! Saturn takes on Venus and the effect smooths over something that has upset you greatly, though you haven’t let it be known. You now need something to get your teeth into once again, this time with people who you can trust around you, as well as all the love you need to want to carry on doing all the inspiring and caring things that you do Uranus is subject to a sextile with Mercury. You are poised ready to take on new work, using the communication energies that you have denied yourself, but which you are so very good at. Take a long hard look at some recent achievements as you will find that you can be your own worst critic sometimes. Believe in you and all you do. Venus influences a stoic Neptune this week. If you feel that you need convincing this week then here it is! Something begins just as something ends, and you appear resolute but content with the way that things are going on right now. Lighten up! You can be so hard on yourself, but right now you are balancing your life to make a difference.

KENNY, THIS year I have lost both of my parents, and it has been a real blow for me. I feel like giving up on my faith and I have stopped looking for solution as a result. Verity R. What a wonderful name you have. As a truthseeker you should look to your name to see how empowering you could be right now. Parents do die, but I can imagine this has phased you, especially as we are only in June. Never give up your faith because it is your very essence and it is what inspires you. Accept and thrive on survival because you did not die. The body ages and we know that it gets tired and dies one day. Meanwhile we have gifts to give, people to help and love to shower on those we really care for. Really care for yourself right now, and you will turn this current feeling around to enable you to inspire those who really need it!

If It’s Your Birthday This Week Put communication right at the top of the list whilst removing all doubt and fear. Right now, all across the Cosmos, openings are ready and waiting to be taken on. Have a long hard look at yourself, and make magic happen, it is nearer than you think it is.

Out to lunch By Jack Troughton

VOLUNTEERS Of the Jalon Valley HELP team enjoyed an enjoyable lunch with host ADIMA, an association supported by the charity. ADIMA supports young and old people with learning difficulties and HELP provides the funds to enable a skilled worker to be employed over the summer to strengthen the respite facilities available to families in the Marina Alta. And the charity visits the Pedregeur-based organisation every year to make present the financial contribution and enjoy the flourishing relationship between the two bodies. Elaine Horton, President of Jalon Valley Help, thanked ADIMA for their hospitality and congratulated the organisation for the quality of service provided. “Every year, we look forward to our visit and are truly humbled by the work that goes on here... thank you for a lovely afternoon”.

The band plays on THE DANCEFLOOR was packed at Benitachell Bowls Club on Saturday evening for a sell-out party in aid of Cancer Care Javea – raising 450€ for the charity. Members and guests enjoyed the music of the U3A Band of Teulada-Moraira and also tucked into some excellent food and bought raffle tickets to support the good cause. And the club hopes to host a similar function in the near future after congratulating the organisers of the hit event.

Lucky little Llib

LUCKY EIGHT-WEEK-OLD puppy Llib is hoping for another helping of good fortune and a loving home after being rescued by Jalon Valley ARC. He was found as a new born – umbilical cord still attached – by a lady walking in the riverbed in Lliber. Both his siblings were already dead. And as a lucky pup, he rallied round when bottle fed by ARC’s Jayne; saving his life. Now eating well, this playful youngster will grow to medium size and needs a ‘forever home’. ARC has other dogs and cats, puppies and kittens, waiting to join a loving family. For more information, call Jayne on 649 310 285 or Sally on 625 985 689. Alternatively, visit www.jalonvalleyarc.com or the charity Facebook page.

Opened by Teulada Moraira Mayor Carlos Linares, there were over 4,000 people crowded in front of the stage or at the bars and restaurants with a view of the stage. The popular event remains a key part of the Moors and Christians Festival and cash thrown into a bucket collection is invested back into the traditional annual celebration. Throughout the evening the audience enjoyed a series of acts – but over the last couple of hours of the night, Moraira rocked to the music of Srikland, Shondell, the Blues Brothers, and Mr Pink with Christian Pearl. Exhausted organiser Eric Taylor, an RTN contributor and presenter on Pure Gold Radio, said: “All the acts enjoyed themselves so much they all want to play again next year. Everyone says the festival was much better than last year and we just want to keep on going, bringing new artists and appealing to music lovers. “It is a great evening out. It is free – the bucket collection helps the cost of the whole Moors and Christians fiesta here - and there were at least 4,000 people listening. “I do believe it is time for the fiesta or-

ganisers to start banging on doors for a contribution – the only people making a direct profit from the night are the bars and restaurants next to the stage.” Eric paid tribute to all the back stage crew for helping keep everything “slick and professional” and the “absolutely brilliant” Limon Sound and Light.

The movie sees Edina and Patsy still oozing glitz and glamour, then after a major incident at a fashionable uber launch party, they become entangled in a media storm and flee to the French Riviera. Eventually they decide to hatch a plan to make their escape permanent and live the high life forever more! The movie goes on general release next Friday July 1st. Check out the trailer.

GREED IS one of the seven deadly sins, and of all people to pop up in the news on this subject matter it was Adele. Apparently she paid herself £2.5 million and has now been ordered to pay it back to Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs. The lassie from Tottenham is reportedly worth around £88 million, and is set to sign a £90 million contract with Sony Music, but sources close to her have revealed that her accountants spotted the mistake and rectified it … A mistake? … 2.5 million squidly did found its way into her handbag by mistake? A spokesperson said “All relevant disclosures have been made and the position has been resolved.” Nudge Nudge, say no more!

Harry´s got the style, and the moves like Jagger IN 2010 five lads failed at the male singers stages of the X Factory, but judge at the time Nicole Scherzinger suggested they should be put together as a group, and so began the phenomenon that is / was One Direction. Harry Styles was the one who came up with the name One Direction, and it certainly was one direction they took, rocketing to major success virtually overnight, even although they only came third in the TV show. The band announced a hiatus, or what is more likely, a split last year, and its Harry who´s popped up with the most spectacular of new careers. Acting is the chosen direction, and Harry the Hunk has already had his first taste of Hollywood, currently filming Christopher Nolan’s World War Two drama ´Dunkirk´ in which he is starring alongside Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh and Mark Rylance ... a thespian style motley crew indeed, but there is a much bigger acting project allegedly waiting in the wings for the boy. In 2006 a book was published by US author Robert Greenfield called ´Exile on Main Street: A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones, and Harry Styles has all but signed to play the young Mick Jagger in the film that will be directed by Andy Goddard (Downton Abbey, Law & Order: SVU). It could well happen as he’s got the wavy hair, he’s got the charm, he knows how to get the ladies, and he’s got the moves like Jagger, making the role almost perfect for him. Harry was born in Redditch, Worcester on February 1st 1994, and loved to sing from an early age, noting Freddie Mercury, Elvis Presley and The Beatles as his influences, and while at Holmes Chapel Comprehensive was the lead singer of White Eskimo, who won a local Battle of the Bands competition. As a sixteen-year-old Harry worked part-time at the West Mandeville Bakery in Holmes Chapel, and when his boss asked him to occasionally work in the front shop he noticed a lot more girls started to come in, so Harry serving in the shop became a permanent fixture … you either got it or you aint, and Harry´s got it in shedloads. The Rolling Stones released double album ´Exile on Main Street´ in 1972, a vibrant time in the world of pop music, ´Tumbling Dice´ being the big single making the top ten in the UK and America. Go get um Harry boy! BRITISH BAND The Vamps were signed to Mercury records in 2012, a group who got together after a series of video uploads on YouTube, after which they had 5 consecutive top ten singles and their first album made No 2. They are currently working on their third album after their second ´Wake Up´ did ok, and they might have pulled off a bit of a coup, as Brooklyn Beckham, son of David, is being courted to record a rapping track for them. Lead singer Brad Simpson told The Sun “We want to get him involved, he can spit bars (rapping to you and me!) Brooklyn is ‘crazy talented’ and after helping with the ´Wake Up´ video we’ve wanted to team up with him again for a while. Cute move Brad!

KATE MULGREW stars as Galina “Red” Reznikov in Orange is the New Black and was interviewed by Lorraine on ITV last week and talked of her strange childhood. “I was born with a full set of teeth” she said “and they’re very dangerous as the baby can swallow them.” For her own safety, her parents had them removed, but her mouth was not the only strange thing about young Kate. She said that she had an inability to feel pain when she was a baby as well, so her parents essentially had to keep her kennelled. “They built me a little cage, because I had no sense of pain until I was four years old,” she said.” Teeth and no sense of pain! In Shakespeare´s day she´d been burned at the stake!

WE CAN only imagine what it must be like being in the public eye when every wrinkle and ounce of flesh goes under the microscope. Meg Ryan was 26 when she made When Harry met Sally, and Tom Cruise was 24 when he made Top Gun, and with them now both in their mid-fifties, they are smack dab in the middle of the ´obsessed with looks´ scenario that is Hollywood. Meg attended the Tony Awards last week and the way she looked swept the Internet to which she said “I don’t pay a lot of attention frankly, there’s a lot of hatred in the world today, imagine being a hater, how stupid!” Excellent! On Cruise, its rumoured he´s off to Switzerland for a facelift, something that’s categorically denied by his people. Don’t Worry, Be Wrinkly!

Night market returns Local derby by Jack Troughton THE POPULAR summer Craft Fair is back in Javea Port and will be open every evening between 7pm and midnight until 11th September. For the fourth year running that craft association Amata has run the market on the promenade by the sea – every stall lives up to the slogan ‘Artesania de Autor”; the stock has been made by the craftsmen and women at the stall. And while the stalls vary from week to week, goods on offer include leather bags and belts, wooden toys and puppets, jewellery, ceramics, metalwork, clothes, paintings and sculpture. Stall holders will also take commissions. Amata was set up in 1998 and remains true to its original philosophy - only goods made by the people on the stalls can be sold on the craft fairs it organises – while the changes in the stall mean the event is never boring. For more information call Elvira on 639 979 678 or go to www.amata.es.

Guest speaker

THE GUEST speaker at U3A Moraira Teulada’s monthly meeting on Monday 4th July is Pat Spencer who will talk about the ‘100th Anniversary of the Battle of the Somme’. Pat has stood in a short notice for the meeting at Salón S.L., in Avenida Mediterraneo, Teulada. The doors open at 9.30 am and the formal meeting starts at 10:30 am. For further information, visit the website www.u3amoraira-teulada.org.

RIVALS ENJOYED a tightly fought ‘petanque’ competition on community ‘boules pistes’ on Cumbre del Sol – Calpe and District 41 Club narrowly losing to Javeabased hosts Costa Blanca 41 Club in a local derby. Organised by Javea Chairman Bob Gordon and Calpe’s Steve Moores, six pairs from each club competed against each other – followed by a meal and prize giving at the Cumbre restaurant. A 41 Club is a social group of past members of service club, Round Table, who are required to retire from Table in their 40s. To find out more about the two clubs on the Costa Blanca, and others in Iberia, visit the websites – http://calpe41club.com or www.costablanca41club.org.

life&leisure #Spanish

Basic Spanish for everyday needs by Jane Cronin

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

127 Place Names I recently received a letter of appreciation for my article on mispronounced words, which was very nice, thank you.

The writer finished by asking me to bring pressure to bear on local radio stations regarding their annoying pronunciation of Almoradí. I have to say that this is not the first time I have been asked to lead a crusade against English speaking radio stations, but so far I have resisted the temptation. Personally, I am a fan of Cadena Ser, which keeps me company as I tootle around in my car, and their Spanish pronunciation is usually pretty good! However here is some ammunition for those who might wish to take up the challenge. Firstly, we need to look at some of the most frequent errors and put them straight. As the letter writer correctly states, Almoradí has an accent on the last syllable, and should therefore have the beat at the end - AlmoraDI. There are a number of similar instances, where English speakers incorrectly assume that the beat goes on the penultimate syllable. For example the Costa Cálida (the warm coast) should be pronounced Costa CAlida and not Costa CaLIda. This is the one that most irritates me, possibly because I live there! Also close to home for me is Lo Pagán. Notice there is an accent on the end – Lo PagÁN. This also has to the two “a” vowels pronounced exactly the same, so the result should not sound like an alternative to Christianity.

Before I leave my own neck of the woods, I would also mention Los Alcázares, which sounds like this – Los AlCAzares, and not Los AlcazARes (not forgetting the Spanish “z” sounding like our “th”) and finally, a small plea for Dos Mares, which should never sound like “two horses”, which I have heard, although not on local radio!

Another odd pronunciation which I often notice is Orihuela. This is not a case of misplaced beat, but two other things that happen here. Firstly people pronounce the “h” when they shouldn’t, and secondly the “ue” combination of two simple vowels, changes to an “oo-ay” sound. This gives us “Ori-whoo-ayler” – not easy to write, but believe me it sounds weird, and quite possibly unrecognizable to the inhabitants of the town. I’m sure that as you read this you are thinking of many of your own examples – Rojales (Roe-jails), Quesada (Coosahda), San Miguel (San Migwel)- the possibilities are endless. By the way, the bit in brackets is wrong, not right! The same problem exists with street names (Ramón Gallud, should not be Ramón Galood) and personal names. Some time ago I was introduced at an English TV studio to a Spanish cameraman called “Smile”. Poor

old “Smile” got ordered around the place for months and never once stopped to mention that his name was actually “Ismael”. Having said all of that, I think there is a case for “anglicizing” more well-known names, when speaking in English. For example, we do have an English pronunciation for Barcelona and Madrid which don’t sound too much like the original. That automated male voice that announces place names at Spanish airports also “anglicizes”. He says SanTANder, instead of SantanDER, and MERsia instead of MURcia. This is an interesting point and has to do with the evolution of languages. Is it acceptable to pronounce CÓRdoba, as CorDOba, and CÁdiz as CaDIZZ? And which is more annoying, the anglicized version used while speaking English, or people who make a point of pronouncing everything “a la española” all the time?!

Marathon man & diddymen

THIRTY FOUR years ago your scribbler agreed to run the inaugural Wolverhampton marathon for, as Smashie & Nicey would prattle, ‘charidy.’ Some cynics may opine it was also a desperate P.R. stunt to stem my haemorrhaging radio ratings - as if.

Chris Ashley

Writer & Broadcaster

On the face of it no worries, back in 1982 when I wore a younger man’s budgie smugglers, I was fairly fit. Little formal training was undertaken – curry had been consumed the night before – and on the day of the race a couple of Dr. Jack Daniel’s medicinal sharpeners were imbibed – what could possibly go wrong? This is where the 3½ decade recall gets a bit fuzzy – apparently Ken Dodd was the guest of honour with the starting pistol. Was he? You’d think I’d have a clear recollection if indeed, my hero, the Grand Poobah of Knotty Ash was amongst us. I’ve always wanted to interview him even with his defined no-go areas - revenue & romance. Such japes we’d have - shoving a cucumber through the Vicar’s letterbox shouting –“Help! the Martians have landed.” Did I miss my tickling stick moment? Some bright Herbert at the radio station thought it would an absolutely ‘spiffing wheeze’ to trail behind with the outside broadcast radio car. “We can hear all your witty asides with the other nutters.” As you approach the metaphorical wall at around 18 miles waggish witticisms are in short supply, replaced by Black Country Cussing at it’s industrial finest. However the first 6 miles were a breeze – I’m thinking what’s all the fuss, we’re a quarter of the race done, and I’m flying (Stupid Boy). So confident that we actually stopped off at a pub to do a colour piece for the radio, and obviously it would have been rude to turn down an offer to nudge the suds. Two miles later by the side of the road last night’s curry asked permission to leave. Also with all this stopping & starting I’m seizing up & tottering along with the mobility of a paralytic penguin. Little old ladies on Zimmer frames are overtaking me with ill-concealed contempt. Long story short, it took me 8 hours 22.47 minutes to finish – last – a record that still stands. If, by chance, you were there on Sunday March 28th 1982, with or without Diddymen, or have any other marathon mishaps email me – ashleybobble@hotmail.com

life&leisure #BBQRecipes

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Lamb & potato salad Although the recipe calls for lamb tenderloins, you could certainly substitute leftover grilled lamb with excellent results.

INGREDIENTS 3 lb lamb fillets 1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup fresh mint, chopped 2 lb baby new potatoes, scrubbed 2 red peppers, roasted and chopped 1 lb asparagus, blanched and chopped 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped 1/3 cup lime juice 1/2 cup olive oil 4 egg yolks 2 tbsp olive oil DIRECTIONS 1. Steam the new potatoes on the side burner until tender, then drain. If the potatoes are larger than bite sized, cut them into halves or quarters as appropriate. Set aside.

2. Blanch the asparagus on the side burner, plunge into ice water, then drain on paper towel lined wire racks. Set aside. 3. Preheat the barbecue on HIGH, and place red peppers on grids. Char on all sides, then remove from the heat. Place the peppers in a paper bag to cool, then slip off the charred skins; seed and chop. 4. Grill the lamb on HIGH for 2 - 3 minutes per side. Cool, then slice. 5. To make the dressing, place the yolks, garlic, and lime juice in a blender, or in the bowl of a food processor. With the motor running, add the oils in a thin stream. Add the chopped mint leaves. Season with salt and pepper if desired. 6. Toss the lamb, potatoes, peppers and blanched asparagus with the dressing, and garnish with fresh chives.

Seafood curry Packed with salmon, mussels and prawns, try this impressive yet authentic seafood curry. Ingredients 75g ghee (you can substitute with margarine) 300g skinless white fish like pollack, cut into large chunks 200g skinless salmon, cut into large chunks 200g raw peeled prawn 100g mussels, cleaned and de-bearded For the curry sauce 1 onion, roughly chopped 100g ginger, chopped 50ml vegetable oil 2 tsp garam masala ½ tsp asafoetida (if you have it) 1 tsp turmeric 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped (leave the seeds in if you like it really hot) 400g can chopped tomatoes good handful coriander leaves Method

1. For the curry sauce, whizz the onion and ginger together to a purée. Heat the oil in a large pan until smoking. Add the garam marsala and sizzle for 30 secs, then add the onion and ginger purée, reduce the heat and slowly cook for 5 mins. Add the remaining spices, fry for 1 min, stir in the chilli and fry for another min, then add the tomatoes and a good pinch of salt and grind of pepper, and stir well. You can do this way in advance, then just throw the curry together on the night – the sauce will freeze or keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. 2. To make the curry, melt a third of the ghee in a large pan. Cook the white fish for 2-3 mins until lightly browned, then set aside on a plate. Repeat this process with the salmon and prawns, adding another third of ghee each time. For the mussels, heat a medium-sized saucepan on a high heat. Add the mussels with 2 tbsp of water, cover tightly with a lid, and steam for 3-4 mins, shaking the pan every so often. Drain and set aside with the other seafood. 3. Bring the sauce to the boil, stir the fish and mussels in gently, bring to the boil

again, then remove from the heat and leave for 3-4 mins – the fish will finish cooking in the heat from the sauce. Add

the coriander leaves and serve with Spiced rice and Carrot & cumin salad (see ‘Goes well with’ on the right of this page).

life&leis re #advertising feature u ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Regular exercise is anti-ageing medicine number one No medication can counteract age-related performance deterioration better than regular physical training.

life&leisure #charity //////////////////////////////////// 22,000 euros raised at charity event The charity fundraiser at the Benidorm Palladium at the weekend for the children of Emaus raised a whopping 22,000 euros. The “Busy Bees” event saw all of the town turn up to watch many Benidorm artists perform - along with local businesses offering some amazing raffle prizes. One of the organisers, Wayne Edward Bellamy-Wright, posted on Facebook, “totally speechless - thank you from the bottom of our hearts - today has got to be one of Benidorm’s biggest success stories.” The expat community dug deep and whilst money is still coming the total counted already has far exceeded everyone’s expectations. The event was filmed by the “Bargain Brits in the Sun” team and also attended by Derren Litten – writer of the Benidorm series – as well as other familiar faces such as Sherri Hewson the afternoon was also broadcast live over the internet. Organisers and their helpers, and there were many of them, ensured that everyone had a good time, it was a real party atmosphere with a very popular teddy being auctioned and re-donated adding to the growing total on the day. 3,500 euros has already been handed to the children’s home to give some immediate and urgent funding along with 103 euros being spent treating some of the children from the home have a great afternoon and lunch out at the event. Whilst people are still collecting money to

add to the total Wayne has announced that there is to be another charity calendar, similar to the popular one sold last year. This year’s pin-ups will be male or female, with twelve sponsors and twelve models being chosen. Sponsors will be able to choose a theme, although it must include bees, and for a payment of 250 euros will have their own calendar page, helping the children as well as promoting themselves. Geraldine Scott, who runs the expatsinspain. eu site was there with her husband Mike and said: “we had a fantastic time, it was so great to see what an excellent community we live in.”

Netball galore! by Jack Troughton THE ‘SENORITAS’ of Rojales Netball Club were reached the quarter-finals of the international competition La Manga 7’s with 29 teams taking part. The tournament featured 25 teams from the UK, one from Copenhagen, as well as Rojales. La Manga and Marbella. The first Rojales game was a local derby as they were drawn against La Manga and the team came away triumphant with a 5-2 win. The club then brushed aside three of the UK teams with empathetic wins leaving them just Copenhagen to play in their qualifying group - this was a much tougher game and despite some good netball they lost which meant they came second in their group due to goal difference. In the knockout stages and Rojales met tough opposition from the West Midlands; 3-0 down at half time, the team showed some fighting spirit and managed to pull it back to 4-4 at full time, to win 5-4 with the golden goal. Without much rest, Rojales took on a team from Surrey in the quarter finals. Even though the girls worked tirelessly, they couldn’t pull this one out of the bag but need not be too disappointed as the opposition did make it all the way to the final.

What a great weekend of netball with some great performances both on and off the court! Vamos Rojales Señoritas! Rojales Netball Club is now on a summer break but will be back on Tuesdays in Quesada from September.

Next season they want to be bigger and better and with some dates already in the diary for competitive games are looking for new players, coaches, and umpires aged over 14 to join. For further details contact Claire on 680300637 or Tracey on 679539995.

Rocket’s golf society Vistabella golf – 14th June 2016 Athurs bash – el plantio 18th June 2016

NEAREST PIN Hole 4: Malcolm Woods Hole 15: Ron Swift

This report gives you “two for one” The first was a welcome return to Vistabella and a good turnout, the second ois the celebrated Arthurs Bash for Arthurs Williams birthday.

LONGEST DRIVE: Alan Clifford

For the 14th It has to be said, the course is in very good condition and very playable, with greens taking well struck putts, but some got labelled as a dyslectic golfer – they couldn’t read the greens, the competition was Stableford. Arthur Williams seems to be celebrating his birthday in advance with a handicap cutting 40 points. The second event at El Plantio Golf was a twofold event as it not only celebrated Arthurs birthday but the 5th year of the renaming of the Society to Rockets.

1ST Arthur Williams 2nd Alan Clifford 3rd Ron Swift

SILVER CATEGORY 40 points 36 points 35 points

1st Malcolm Woods 2nd Dave Guerrine 3rd Ron Chambers

A Great Win for the Men of Benitachell Bowls Club by patricia thompson On the 9th and 16th June the BBC, once again played for the Rose Bowl (ladies only) a friendly competition.

The men play for the Walton Trophy created and carved by Tony Walton. He was a great guy and BBC member for many years. The games are played home and away against our bowling neighbours Javea Green. The Ladies were at home for the first leg with temperatures in the 30’s it was hot work, but, a hard fought game saw success with 6 – 4 in favour of BBC. The second game away at Javea Green was again a real battle and finished with the Ladies of Javea Green sadly taking the Rose Bowl Trophy away from BBC by two shots. The BBC men were away at Javea Green on their first leg. Things did not go according to plan though as they had a deficit of 33 shots to take back to the BBC. The 16th was much cooler and the breeze at BBC was very welcome as the ‘boys’ needed to fight hard. The end result was a resounding success with BBC winning 5 points to 2 and an overall shot difference of 52 shots. Two great days enjoyed by all with a nice meal and raffle what more can one ask for. To enjoy this type of camaraderie check out the Benitachell Bowls Club Web site.

Subaru spanish meeting

THE UNMISTAKABLE T TAKABLE Subaru blue and the sound of roaring engines purring their way through Zaragoza could only mean one thing...... yes, June the 10th and 11th saw the 4th annual meeting of the Club Subaru España which was held in the picturesque town of Zaragoza. There were over 160 Subaru cars in attendance who, for the first time, were joined by Subaru Spain’s head of public relations and press agency, Iñigo Trasmonte Garcia. Iñigo and his team brought with them, 6 new Subaru models including the

Forester, the Legacy, the XV and the all new Impreza WRX which was undoubtedly the star of the show. Iñigo explained that “one of Subarus distinctive features is the flat/boxer engine and all-wheel-drive which became standard equipment for mid-size and smaller cars by 1996”. Modified versions of the Impreza WRX and WRX STi have been competing successfully in rallying. Drivers Colin McRae (1995), Richard Burns (2001) and Petter Solberg (2003) have won World Rally Championship drivers’ titles with the Subaru World Rally Team and Subaru took the manu-

facturers’ title three years in a row from 1995 to 1997. Drivers for individual rallies included Ari Vatanen, Per Eklund, Shekhar Mehta, Mike Kirkland, Possum Bourne and Harald Demut. Subaru’s World Rally Championship cars are prepared and run by Prodrive, the highly successful British motorsport team. The 2 day event was perfectly orchestrated by Jonas Prado to include karting, sight-seeing and obviously a lot of convoy driving which left the whole region alive to the throaty rumble of 160 Subarus and lots of happy faces.
