Filling Santa’s sacks CHRISTMAS VOLUNTEERS braved Monday’s storms to fill ‘Santa’s Sacks’ with goodies for the children cared for in EMAUS homes on the Costa Blanca. by Jack Troughton The team worked throughout the afternoon – fortified with cups of tea, mince pies and chocolate – to fill the individually named sacks for each of the 51 boys, 32 girls, and a two-month-old baby. And such was the generosity of people donating gifts and presents bought by a dedicated charity, there is enough left over to give every child another surprise come the night of 5th January; the Spanish celebration of Three Kings. The volunteers gathered between 2.30pm and 4.30pm at the Gata Charity Warehouse, the second year charity Friends of the Children of EMAUS has run the scheme. Organiser Lesley Clarke (pictured with the team, bottom right) said: “It has been two hours of jolly hard work and the whole team of ‘sack stuffers’ has been excellent. Unfortunately some people couldn’t come because of the weather. “We just organised a production line and filled every sack. It was great fun and has put everyone in the festive spirit.” A total of 100 sacks were handmade by a team of 10 women, each sewing 10 sacks; an arrangement said to work “very well”.

Poppy Appeal’s 2016 success PROUD MEMBERS of three Costa Blanca branches of the Royal British Legion are celebrating raising more than 78,000 Euros for the Poppy Appeal during 2016. by Jack Troughton The Orihuela Costa, Torrevieja, and the La Marina and Gran Alicant branches have been busy for almost 12 months collecting money to help ex-servicemen and their families. However, since the launch of this year’s appeal in Benidorm on 14th October, the branches went into overdrive – distributing poppies and collection boxes into 550 bars, restaurants and other key locations. Volunteers “mobilised” by branches also headed for Alicante Airport, local markets, supermarkets and shops to collect donations. Across the Legion’s District North, a grand total is still being tallied; but the three branches have completed the maths and can publish the success of their hard work. Orihuela Costa members (pictured) can boast raising more than 40,786 Euros – a 5,000 euro increase on 12 months ago. As well as various events including charity days, golf competitions, and fun days; 3,700 Euros was collected at the Iceland store in San Javier and a further 4,000 Euros at Alicante Airport. Torrevieja members collected 22,163 Euros, an increase of 2,700 Euros on last year. Iceland allowed the Legion to rattle collecting tins to gather in 2,800 Euros and the Crescendo International Choir added 2,000 Euros to the appeal. The smallest branch is Gran Alicant and La Marina, but despite its size it collected the highest amount per member and chipped in 10,400, an increase of 300 Euros on 2015 and again visits to Iceland helped boost the total. Kevin Reardon, Chairman of Orihuela Costa, paid tribute to the work of all three branches over the year and thanked the “enthusiasm and hard work” of dozens of entertainers and bands who backed the cause – particularly the “supportive and loyal” Torrevieja Pipes and Drums. He added all members carried out the task “extremely professionally” with “the minimum of fuss and the maximum of effort” - enabling the branches to celebrate “an amazing achievement”.

A word from the Ed... RTN Towers at Christmas
Natural Stor SIX PEOPLE were killed along a Spanish coast ravaged by the vicious storm that brought high winds and torrential rain. by JACK TROUGHTON
IT HAS been a shocking last week before Christmas with two disasters hitting the headlines - one the work of Mother Nature, the second by the hand of madmen. A truly sad end to the year. It is now time to put up shutters, stoke up the fire, and enjoy one of the most special times of the year, hopefully with loved ones – even the weather forecast is for calm.
FOUR LOST their lives in Valencia, one in Murcia and one in Almeria as the Gota Fria devastated property, closed roads and brought widespread fl ooding. The deaths took place in Castellon, Finestrat, Enguera, and Xativa in Valencia, Las Alcazares in Murcia and Bedur in Almeria. Schools were closed across the region, weekend sports cancelled, beaches swept away and the Port of Valencia was closed. It was a dramatic end to the wettest December for 152 years and the storm itself one of the worst in memory. The clean-up operation has begun and the authorities are inspecting infrastructure damaged in a tempest where winds gusted to hurricane levels and in one area of Valencia rainfall reached 300 litres per square metre.
The halls at RTN Towers are decked with holly – we are very traditional – the tree is decorated and everyone is looking forward to the annual feast with families and friends. It is now time for the team to enjoy a long winter nap and relax before we bounce back with a news-filled and colourful RTN in the New Year. The next edition is available on Thursday 5th January. Just before Alice hands out the gifts, there is just time to steal some of Santa’s words from ´Twas the Night before Christmas’ and say “a Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight”. See you in 2017.

Action over storm damage RESIDENTS OF Pilar de la Horadada have been promised storm damage from last weekend’s Gota Fria will be dealt with as a matter of urgency. BY JACK TROUGHTON THE TOWN hall has created a special team to assess the level of damage and it plans to ensure life returns to normal as quickly as possible. IT has approved the creation of a commission to assess damage to local infrastructure after the torrential rains happened last weekend. The team is made up of the departments of Infrastructure, Works and Services and Environment. Local authority technicians have already visited all aff ected areas and the fi rst indications damaged lighting, roads, and beaches, and left a massive accumulation of mud. The town hall announced all necessary works would be put in place so “in a fast and eff ective way” in all the aff ected areas.
The show goes on THE SMILE Charity Group is continuing with current production ‘Mind Me Ghoulies’ despite the sad loss of founder member and script writer John Wallace. John collapsed and died last month and it is the wish of his family the show still takes to the stage in January – December performances having been cancelled. John had written all the scripts to date and appeared in every production and Smile had to cast a net “far and wide” to fi nd a replacement to take his part. Mind Me Ghoulies is a Christmas ghost story with a slightly adult theme and will be performed in restaurants – where tickets are 10 Euros including a one-course meal – and at Benijofar Theatre, entrance is 6 Euros but without food. The dates are: Thursday 12th January, Marjal Campsite, Guardamar; Friday 13th January, Casa Ventura, San Luis; Wednesday 18th January, Benijofar Theatre (Casa de Cultura); and Friday 20th January, The Club, Quesdada. Over the last three years, the Smile Charity group has raised more than 14,000 Euros for charity. For further information email smilecharitygroup@ gmail.com; tickets are available from the venues, the Post Room, Benijofar, and the Card Place, Benimar.

Christmas manhunt www.roundtownnews.com
POLICE ACROSS Europe are hunting the 24-year-old Tunisian man wanted over the attack at a Christmas market in Berlin which left 12 people dead and 49 injured. by Jack Troughton Anis Amri is believed to be the man who indiscriminately drove the articulated lorry into crowds celebrating the festive season at the traditional German event that draws people from around the world in December. And following Monday’s attack a European arrest warrant was issued after Amri’s residence permit was found in the cab of the lorry which caused the carnage at the Breitscheidplatz Christmas Market, close to the German capital’s most famous shopping street, the Kurferstendamm. The fugitive has used up to six aliases according to the German authorities; he has at times tried to pass himself off as an Egyptian or a Lebanese. He was being monitored from March to September on suspicion of planning a robbery to pay for automatic weapons for use in an attack. And a number of photographs of Amri have been circulated to police across Europe, including Spain and the UK. The German government has warned he could be armed
a dangerous and should not be approached. Germany has also posted a 100,000 Euro reward for information leading to the suspect’s arrest. The emergency has also prompted counterterrorist authorities in Europe to step up security at high profile public celebrations over Christmas and the New Year. DAWN RAIDS Since the atrocity, German police have carried out a number of raids in the Dortmund area. Four arrests have been made after two apartments were searched. The attack has triggered a flood of phone calls to detectives and these tips are all being followed up. DNA evidence has also been gathered from inside the cab of the lorry. It is believed Amri used the western German city as a base from time to time. News sources say residents of one block of flats recognised photographs of the suspect and alleged he spent time with an immigrant who was arrested last month on suspicion of having links to so-called Islamic state. The outlawed terrorist group has claimed to be behind the attack and said one of its “soldiers” was responsible. Using its own news
agency, IS said it was “in response to calls to target nationals of the coalition countries.” Public Prosecutor Peter Frank told a press conference the style of the attack suggested it was carried out by Islamic extremists. Police say the lorry was hijacked earlier on Monday afternoon when parked in an industrial in north-west Berlin after driver Lukasz Urban, a Polish citizen, was unable
to unload the Italian steel he was carrying until Tuesday. And it has been clear the driver attempted to fight off his attackers before dying of stab and gunshot wounds. The evidence shows despite being injured with a knife, Mr Urban bravely wrestled his attacker until he was shot – no weapon has yet been recovered.

Take a compass reading HOUSE HUNTERS are advised to take a compass when visiting properties to check the all-important position of the sun. Walter and Jane Mann are both part of the British Consulates ‘Our Local Ambassador’ scheme and made sure they had the vital piece of kit as they inspected prospective homes.
the millions and way out of our budget.” Walter said they decided to include areas up to 30km inland, visiting to get a feel of the place. During such a visit they discovered the village of Campoverde.
The couple live in Campoverde, near Pilar de la Horadada, and carefully researched the Costas before making a permanent move to Spain over three years ago. After making the decision to emigrate, Walter and Jane – pictured flanking British Ambassador Simon Manley – had the luxury of time; they promised their daughter they would not leave the UK until she had completed her university studies. Walter said this allowed them to research the Spanish coast, taking about 100 mile “chunks” at a time. “We came out certainly twice and sometimes three times a year and worked up from the south of Cartagena.” They worked their way up “way above” Alicante in the search. “Our ideal was a nice swimming pool on the beach but quickly found everything a half a mile or a mile of the coast was incredibly small and packed in with no space at all – or were priced in
ACCIDENT “We found it completely by accident, by looking at the map,” he added. “Strangely enough we had a gut feeling the very first day we visited.” Their next visit involved staying in Campoverde and having found a location they started a file of estate agents and properties on sale. “We came out again and visited properties; Jane would walk around with a compass in her hand to check the position of the sun.” Some homes were too small, others were “blatantly holiday homes”, but they drew up a short list and during the next four-day visit went to 34 villas, Walter “furiously” scribbling out a floor plan. He said their current home “kept coming to the top of the list” during discussions despite being over budget. “We went back to the estate agent and she said to make an of-
fer. We put in a low bid; which was refused – not surprisingly – but the seller said if we could add another four or five thousand they would seriously consider it. We did, because we had a bit of leeway.” Walter said Campoverde was a quiet village but the nearby town of Pilar – just a few minutes’ drive away – was lively,
with supermarkets, banks, shops, bars and restaurants. He said it was important to check there were things going on all year round and a place did not shut down after the summer season. “We are in a thriving community and active all year and something goes on every day of every week.”

A magical Nutcracker
Poppy DANCERS FROM the Moscow Ballet captivated Appeal a Costa Blanca audience with a performance of success the festive favourite ‘The Nutcracker’. by Jack Troughton The Teulada Moraira Auditorium was filled by ballet lovers enjoying the tale of the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Mouse King and the famous score by composer P.I Tchaikovsky. Directed by Timur Fayziev, The Nutcracker featured two great and award-winning soloists of international stature, Cristina and Alexei Terentiev. Through the magic of ballet, the dancers connected with the spectators telling the story through the medium of dance, the stage dominated by large Christmas tree – earning a standing ovation.
THE MOJACAR Branch of the Royal British Legion has thanked the Almeria community for its support during the 2016 Poppy Appeal – 14,000 Euros has been raised with more funds being collected. The branch thanks businesses for placing poppy trays on their premises and the Iceland supermarket for hosting a Legion table manned by volunteers. And members also pay tribute to everyone who made a donation to wear an iconic poppy as well as businesses, organisations and groups who sponsored or staged events for the appeal throughout 2016.

At least 31 dead in explosion at fireworks market At least 31 people died and 72 were injured in a massive explosion at a fireworks market in Mexico on Tuesday afternoon. Another 100 people were reported missing. by James martin The “no smoking” signs were still plain to see all around the fireworks market at San Pablito Tultepec, an area the size of two football pitches. Inside what is left of the market, the scene is a disaster. Metal beams were twisted into impossible shapes, cement walls have been melted, and cranes are picking up rubble that looked more like coal. On Tuesday afternoon, four days before Christmas, 300 tons of explosives went off for unknown reasons, in a terrifying accident. Diana Angélica and her family had just arrived when the explosions began. “We heard the first fireworks go off and we started running down the aisle. There were a lot of people. I grabbed my 11-month-old girl and then boom, we felt a really strong explosion behind us, like a gas pipe,” she recalls. The blast lifted them off the ground and into the fence. “We fell among a bunch of people, but we managed to get out. It was around 3pm. The chain reaction of exploding fireworks lasted for over an hour, sending plumes of white smoke in the air”

Christmas cheer by JACK TROUGHTON
DECEMBER AGAIN brings a rainbow of colour to Spain as Christmas approaches and red and white dominates decorations from Santa suits to decorations. Father Christmas (pictured) holds the can of a famous and now global brand of soft drink changed the colour scheme of the holiday. Coca Cola managed to convince the world at the beginning of the 20th Century that Santa Claus did not wear green and white and decked out the jolly gentleman in his modern look – which just happened to be the company colours. Even Christmas trees turn up in Coca Cola brand colours (pictured), however, a Valencia fl ower stall (pictured) shows the variety of blooms and the rich colours nature provides. However, red has always played a part in our Christmas lives: red-breasted robins, holly berries, even poinsettias. It is not all about a highly successful marketing campaign‌enjoy!

The Force is strong in Oz SYDNEY POLICE officer and huge Star Wars fan Mick Fett has become an internet sensation with his ‘Aussie Vader’ costume incorporating the Australian flag. by Jack Troughton Mick, 39, was born the year the first film in the franchise was released and has since amassed a vast collection of action figures, costumes, and other rare merchandise.
The collection fills the five-bedroom house he shares with his girlfriend; said to be worth half a million Australian dollars. “I mentioned I had some Star Wars stuff when we first got together…she was a bit overwhelmed at first and then she sort of adapted.” Mick’s home is filled with a life-sized Han Solo statue, priceless vintage toys, and creatures from across the Star Wars galaxy. There is even a room dedicated to arcade games…and a ‘pod-racer’ in the garden. Mick said: “When I’m not dressing up in Star Wars costumes, I wear a uniform. It’s two different worlds. “The guys at work can’t believe what I do in my Star Wars time and all my star Wars friends cannot believe I’m a police officer.” Mick, or ´Rogue One’ has a favourite saying: “May the Force be with you, mate.”

Horses left to starve FRUSTRATED ANIMAL lovers say 160 horses have been left to starve in Albacete and Murcia with the authorities and charities unable to intervene. by Edward Graham FRUSTRATED ANIMAL lovers say 160 horses have been left to starve in Albacete and Murcia with the authorities and charities unable to intervene. The Rojales-based Easy Horse Care Recue Centre has published photographs of the animals – 80 in a field near Albacete and 80 in Murcia – in a bid to trigger some action. Easy Horse Care co-founder Sue Weeding said concerned residents in both areas had reported the alleged cases of neglect to police but added no charity of centre had the funding or facilities to take so many horses at once. “It’s crazy that everybody knows these animals are starving but nobody can do anything because there’s nowhere to put them, nowhere for these animals to be rescued to,” Sue said. “Everybody’s wringing their hands wanting somebody to do something, but no one knows what to do – even the police don’t know.”
She added: “We just feel so frustrated. If we had the money and the facilities, we would be there in a heartbeat. I would do anything to get those horses out. But we need help. We need funding. We need space. If we had that, we could and would do it immediately.” Residents from Caudete in Albacete are concerned about a breeding yard that is apparently failing to adequately feed its horses. Photos seen by Sue and her team show the extremely thin brood mares with malnourished young foals. It is understood about 20 horses there have not been fed properly for five months and appear to be in an extreme state of malnutrition. Some mares are no longer able to produce milk for their foals. Three foals are reportedly so thin they can barely stand up. The other 60-odd horses appear to be in better condition but are being kept in filthy stables. Sue said she had offered to take two horses – the maximum the sanctuary could house on top of its current 99 rescued horses, ponies and donkeys – but was told the horses’ owner was refusing to surrender his animals and police had not yet enacted a formal seizure.

Non- resident tax (IRNR) • If you are the owner of a property in Spain and do not have fiscal residency because you already pay your taxes in your own country,you must pay non resident tax and a local house tax called IBI. • The non residents tax is dealt with by the tax office ( hacienda). While the house tax in Alicante province is dealt with by SUMA Usually most non resident citizens are aware of the presentation and payment of the house tax ( IBI) but this isn’t the case with the nonresidents tax. The property of non fiscal residents in Spain is charged depending if they are rented out or at the disposition of the owners for their own use. If it is for their own use, hacienda understands that it generates a small fee, imputation tax. Both tax options depend on
each case : 1. Monies gained for rented properties. Earnings to be declared is full amount recieved for rent and when it is a property belonginging to a resident of somewhere else in the European union,and since 1st of Jan 2015, also iceland and Norway the costs directly associated with the income from the rent in Spain can be deducted. The period for declaration is three monthly. If the liquidation proves positive or yearly if the result is zero or negative.
2. Tax of properties for own use. The tax to be declared is the amount applied to the catastral value of the property, this is on the IBI bill, the percentages 2% or 1.1% depending if the value has been modified or revised.This tax is once a year, 31 de December. You declare the proportional time if
you were not the owner during any part of the year or if the property was rented out. • The time for presenting the module is during the whole of the following natural year after the year declared. For example, all property owners in 2015 have until 31stof December 2016, and if you opt to pay through the bank,until 23 of December 2016. Since this is an obligatory payment for non residents, it is recommended to declare those years not already done so because hacienda can still claim them. Fines in cases of presenting before being called by hacienda are lower and that each day the interchange of information is greater, making it worse for those when hacienda do reclaim.

White & Baos Abogados wishes you and your family a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year 2017
Dear Clients and Friends, IT SEEMS like it was yesterday when the deadline for submitting your NON RESIDENT TAX RETURNS was so far away and yet the Holiday Season has suddenly arrived. We hope to have met our clients’ expectations when dealing with their MARRIAGES AND DIVORCES in Spain and we would also take this opportunity to congratulate those clients, from different countries, who SOLD, PURCHASED or EXCHANGED their properties through our firm and kindly took our advice about the importance of having a SPANISH WILL drafted as an owner of a property in Spain. And 2016 has been a year of hope for all those people who lost their money time ago, buying properties in Spain off plan, that fortunately, we have been able to get for them their money back. Also, it has been a successful year where people sold Bankia Shares, Cam Cuotas Participativas, and mortgage floor clauses, have been able to get their money back. Sadly, some clients and friends passed away during this year and our condolences go out to their surviving spouses and family. Again in these cases we have assisted as rapidly as possible to help the heirs when dealing with the INHERITANCE in Spain and the UK. This is also a year when we have been able to get the inheritance tax paid back, for the non residents heirs - residents of the European Union, that were not able to enjoy the tax benefits in the Inheritance Tax as if they were tax residents in Spain. On a happier note we can tell you that we have LITIGATED successfully in Court in relation to many differing legal matters including TENANCY DISPUTES, CLAIMS AGAINST BUILDERS, CONTESTING A WILL and CLAIMS AGAINST THE TAX OFFICE. Finally we would like to THANK ALL our clients and friends,
who one way or another, dealt with us during this year and wish THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND
A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2017 FULL OF HAPPINESS.

HOUSEHOLDERS ON a Costa Blanca urbanisation are enjoying a growing sense of community with a range of activities organised through its residents association. by Jack Troughton There are more than 400 homes on Gata Residencial, built on the Marina Alta hillside above Gata de Gorgos and overlooking the Montgo mountain and natural park and the sea. And people of various nationalities now join together for a range of activities arranged by residents and publicised through La Asociacion de Gata Residencial. The most recent – and seasonal – fun was a Christmas Market held in one of the parks on the urbanisation, enjoyed by both residents and people from the town of Gata. There were more than 27 stalls selling a varietys of products, youngsters enjoyed visiting Father Christmas in his Grotto, paella, drinks, a children’s orchestra and carols sung by two choirs. However, things are going on around the year; there is a free lending library operating on the first Sunday of the month, the ladies periodically meet for a lunch, and there are ‘Barmy Bingo’ and charity Casino Evenings at nearby Monroe’s Restaurant. In the summer popular treasure hunts by car are held, there is a walking group, wine tasting events, coach trips, and there is a summer ‘Party in the Park’ – again joined by residents, people from the town and friends. ‘La Asociacion’ was originally formed by a small “hard core” of six people as a legal body to liaise with the local authorities on behalf of residents on the urbanisation.
And a website, set up by one of the first residents, continues to be used a source of local news and information; and a
valuable communication tool for people with holiday homes who do not live in Spain all year.

The actions between the Sun and Mars in sextile brings renewed courage and energy, which when combined helps to bring intelligent and constructive enterprise. Maybe it is finally time for you to show what a good and natural leader you really are as you communicate some tender love and care to those around you who really do need it right now Kora, planet of consciousness works together with Venus to spread a welcoming love all across the board this Christmastide. Backing each other it is clear to see that peace and resolution are high in your list of wants and needs in this the forgiving time of year. Celebrate in style and do not forget making space for someone who would otherwise be alone! Your mental telepathy and your psychic powers come to the front to get a few things straight before the festive season. Things may not seem to be as they should be and ironing out the creases could be your very next move. Where there is silence bring forward communication and where silence is truly a virtue, bring on a silence of peace Saturn sextiles Venus just before the festive season kicks off, bringing good coordination and a blessing to all social gatherings. If anyone can bring everyone together this year it is going to be you, and it is going to be now. Be unafraid that friction will interfere with events, in the end all people can get on together and under your roof it will be so!! The Sun conjuncts Mercury and illuminates the true gift of friendship of which the true meaning is so very dear to you. You have finally made a decision, which has shocked even yourself, and carrying this through to the New Year gives you time and the timbre to ensure its success in implication. Relax and enjoy the joy of the season you love! Decisiveness is the virtue of the action between Mercury and Mars in their sextile. Say what you mean and mean what you say since you are very good at making yourself understood and there is no room for conjecture. Be practical, be concise and be direct in all aspects. If the truth does hurts anyone right now, it certainly cannot be you!
Ceres calls time on the immediate actions of your planetary leader, Venus.This is by no means putting a spoke in any wheels, but it is using a simple and tactful strategy to stall, because you need to be sure if you are to commit yourself. Allow loving energy to bless your approaching celebrations, what will be will be, after all is said and done! Reverse energies are sent from your planet of opposition, Taurus. Abundant love and good feelings will take you through a time of the year that you are secretly dreading. However, it is important that you approach the New Year ahead without misgivings and with a solid and realistic plan that you can fully relate to; and hope runs high. Jupiter opposes Uranus and in this generous season nevertheless keep your hand in your pocket where additional expenses are to be met. You give with a great generosity of your true feelings but this is a time to focus on expenses too as a financial corner is forming, and you have to cut your cloth according to your means all across the board. It is a wily Saturn that appears to be manipulating a situation right now; and it is far better to be sure than to be sorry, particularly as things are not turning out the way that you had hoped. The portents show that astrologically you are facing far better times ahead, but you do have to be sure that others are not taking the mickey! : Nostalgia connects with you at this time of the year and hits you worse then before. Knowing as you do that the best of times is now doesn’t help you when you look back over a year of ups and downs, although you did triumph in the end. Uranus is in opposition to Jupiter so beware of tempting schemes to poach you and your business acumen. Neptune has always come to your rescue, but the double sextile with Mercury and then the Sun is really to be seen as one foot forward and then two back. Start this New Year as you wish to continue, being assertive and resourceful. Doing what you love is the icing on the cake and a year of enterprise and creativity beckons you to where you belong!

THIS HAS been a year that passed quickly for us all. We have seen that, sadly, the World still does not know the truly International message of Unity, Peace and Love. Whilst there is still so much suffering and pain all around the World many are turning to the specific embracing energies of Spirit at this time; uniting in wanting so much more for those who so desperately need it. I would like to take the opportunity to wish all readers a very Happy Christmas and all the very best wishes to you all for the approaching 2017 ahead. This is a time when we anticipate the changeable energies of a New Year; and may every blessing come to you and those whom you love and treasure, as we now wait and see what is just around the corner for us all!
If It’s Your Birthday This Week
ASTROLOGICAL PORTENTS are helping us to witness many dramatic events all across the Cosmos. This is surely a time to be open to anything that comes your way; especially as there is now, already, something to get your teeth into!

Scanner uninstalled
DEAR AUNTY: I have a HP Deskjet F4280 All-in-one and by mistake I’ve uninstalled the scanner. I don’t have the original CD and I’ve had no success following the instructions on the Hewlett Packard website. Can you offer a solution please? I enjoy your Life Tech page: keep the advice coming! Carole Aunty says: You will need to download the driver package from the HP Site: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=uk&lc=en&product=3390949 Click on ‘DRIVERS’: Select which Windows version you are using from the drop down list Click NEXT You then click on ‘Driver Product Information Software’ Then click on Download Download the file, and when complete Run the file, and follow the instructions on the installation wizard to reinstall the printer and scanner drivers.
Outlook email HI AUNTY: On my Outlook email page I got this pane on the right asking if I want to do various things with Outlook. I managed to get rid of it once but for the life of me I’ve tried everything to get my full email page back but to no avail hope you can help. Love the info every week. Steve. Aunty says: Although you can change what the side bar in Outlook shows (adverts or outlook hints and tips via the ‘cog’ at the bottom of the bar) as far as I know, and according to Microsoft and many others who have also tried to remove it) you cannot remove the side bar, as it is part of Outlook’s functionality.

Peter Taylor
Taylor´s doing a gig … and there was great rejoicing!
I´ve lived in Los Montesinos for just over 3 years now, and fi nally I´ve got round to doing something that’s long overdue! Last week I popped into Café Centro for a coffee and a piece of their wonderful Dutch Apple cake, and came away with, after a good old yak with owner Wilco, 45 year old Dutchman from Eindhoven, a smart plan to put on a live entertainment show on New Year’s Eve. Café Centro is on the bottom corner of the main square, opposite the church, and has both indoor and outdoor seating. Wilco left Holland in 2014 and came to Spain to find a new challenge, and with his plans for the 31st to include cocktails and canapés, he´s certainly looking to get this party started. I´ll begin the music around 9.30pm, and in this first bit I´ll drop in the odd quiz question or three about songs I´m singing, its best this way … before your brain gets a wee bit alco-frazzled! We will of course celebrate the New Year at midnight, and then as if an excuse for more drinking was needed, we´ll celebrate the New Year in the UK at 1am. Should you want to dance and sing the night away you´re good, as Café Centro has a collection of different breakfasts, and typical Dutch snacks, ice-creams as well as smoothies and not forgetting those cocktails … both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
Be There ´… n be in ´The Square´

Welcome back to the front pages Naomi! Naomi Elaine Campbell, from Streatham in London, is both a model and an actress. Her first public appearance came at the age of seven in 1978, when she was featured in the music video for Bob Marley’s “Is This Love.” Naomi was one of the most in-demand models of the late´80s and ´90s, and one of six models of her generation declared “supermodels” by the fashion industry. You may or may not know about the furore that’s going on in the fashion industry about the so called ´Instagram girls!´ These are young females like, Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid and Gigi Hadid, who have, instead of proper training, got work as models through being ´out there´ on Instagram, and worse still, they´re calling themselves ´supermodels!´ Last month Naomi controversially told Remix magazine “I think they’re great, I know all of these young girls, they’re all really respectful and sweet, and if I can ever help them, it’s a pleasure for me to do that ... I’ve helped a few of them with their walks.” She´s a cheeky monkey … but that’s why we love her huh?!
DEC 23 - 5 JAN 2016
PARIS WHITNEY Hilton is listed in all the best journals as a, businesswoman, socialite, television personality, model, actress, singer, DJ, and author … takes your breath away doesn’t it? The great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, founder of Hilton Hotels said when speaking to Galore Magazine “I’m very proud that I am all natural and have never had anything done,” she´s talking about plastic surgery of course, “I am very happy with myself.” Then to be sure she doesn´t upset anybody, in true entrepreneurial style she added “but I don’t judge others, people should do whatever makes them feel happy, it’s just not something I’ve ever wanted to do.” Paris, who starred in naff US reality show “The Simple Life ´03 - ´07, also said, “I get calls every day to do reality shows, but I am very focused on my business and brand and…” blah blah bladdie blah! ZZZZZZZZZ!
GWYNETH PALTROW has a quite a background, with a great-great-grandfather who was a famous rabbi, a brother who´s a director and screenwriter, and is a second cousin of former U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Gwyneth won 4 major awards for her work in ´Shakespeare in Love´ but she´s put all of that to one side to … Go into the travel business! She´s started an internet company called Goop, and said at an Airbnb conference recently “I had no idea how much everyone kissed my ass when I was acting” then promoting her Goop organisation said “I have never felt so professionally fulfilled in my life, it’s such a grind, it’s such hard work but it’s so amazing to be involved in something you believe in, making a product you love, and I much prefer it now that no-one kisses my ass anymore.” Glad you got to the bottom of it Gwyneth!

AS IF the late Prince´s family didn´t have enough to be coping with, a Claire Elisabeth Elliott has popped up claiming she married the singer in a shotgun Las Vegas wedding on January 14, 2002. Unfortunately there´s a sizeable hole in her story as she can’t find the marriage certificate! There´s apparently information of a marria™ge amongst the Minnesota District Court documents, and last month Claire filed another one saying she wants to remove the Bremer Trust Bank from managing Prince’s estate … and that she´ll step in herself! Do bleedin´what!! The main meat of her case is Exhibit C) “to expose all the corruption surrounding my money so that I could finally get paid what is long overdue to me!” Claire says in her July affidavit “Prince named me as his ‘sole heir’ in a ‘secret’ will (which of course hasn’t turned up yet). What is she? Some kind of nutter!
Have a yo ho ho Christmas and a prosperous New Year … Peter SHILPA SHETTY is best known for having won Celebrity Big Brother 5, yet again reality TV delivering nothing out of something. Shilpa was interviewed by the Mumbai Times recently and unfortunately for her she very kindly gave us an insight into the inner workings of her brain. The newspaper got onto the subject of books that should be on the syllabus in Indian schools and Shilpa said “I think having Lord Of The Rings and Harry Potter should be part of it, and Little Women and even Animal Farm should be included as it will teach the little ones to love and care for animals.” TILT! George Orwell’s novel is of course a role reversal tale based on the Russian revolution of 1917 and the Soviet Union’s brutal dictatorship, where the animals overthrow the humans before the pigs elevate themselves to positions of power. Stick to half-baked TV shows Shilpa … For all our sakes!

WITH A background in family and matrimonial mediation, Mum’s being so unreasonable year I met my intended, and I am so happy. But my Life Coach Sara Bell helps Readers with their daily worries. This mother is upset that I cannot spend the whole of Christmas at If you are having difficulties with relationships, family, work home with our family. She expects me to come alone and not include my boyfriend. Obviously my boyfriend and I want to or any other aspect of your life, then help is at hand. be together, and his parents have asked us over, on whichever
Fed up this Christmas I successfully beat cancer this year. The chemo was the worst time of my life - I was so ill, and I am still weak. Every Christmas my family visits me. I would normally enjoy it, but none of them came to see me while I was ill, and I was totally alone when I needed my family then. I am very stressed - it’s not only cooking a meal for 10 people, it’s also having to get the house ready for their week’s stay, pick them up from the Airport, entertain, shop etc. I get zero thanks anyway, and I think they could be a bit more considerate this year. You’ve been through the worst of times recently and they ought to understand that. You could say that you would love to see them as usual, but you are still not well and could they please organise their own lifts from the Airport, shop, cook, etc. Failing that, I would book yourself a nice, quiet holiday this Christmas and escape it all. Time to put yourself first here I think. 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.
day suits us, so they are at least being reasonable. So, why can’t my mother see my point of view? If my boyfriend isn’t invited, I won’t go.
Explain to your Mum that you are serious about your boyfriend, and you now want to be regarded as a couple. At some point, new couples have to split themselves in two, and visit both families, and it has always been an age old difficulty. In our family, we would go to one side of the family on Christmas Day, and then go to the other side on Boxing Day, and then alternate the next year. Compromise is the key. Ask your Mum what she and your Dad did when they were courting? They must have had to compromise in some way too?

PLAYERS OF table-topping La Vila Rugby Club enjoyed being ‘ducks out of water’ when they took on a new form of training and were put through their paces in a ‘aquagym’ session.
by Jack Troughton Villajoyosa’s municipal indoor pool is next to the field of dreams where the team had enjoyed a string of victories this season, boosting hopes of promotion. Changing turf for the pool, they were put through a demanding non-stop water gym by Maria Jose Rubio - and players of the white and blues enjoyed the work out. The team’s next fixture is on Sunday 8th January at 12.30pm at the Estadio de Villajoyosa against RC L’Hospitalet.

Basic Spanish for everyday needs by Jane Cronin
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Object pronouns in alternative positions I always look back at the previous week’s article to find out what rash promises I made at the end of each one. Last week I promised some everyday phrases containing those object pronoun thingies, for you to learn off by heart and impress your friends and family with. I’ll make a start on those now, but some will have to wait until a little later. A very common and useful verb to use with direct and indirect pronouns is “decir” in all its variations. “Decir” means “to say” or “to tell” and it is useful because we spend a lot of our time telling people what other people have said. You’ll find this is true, even if you’re not prone to gossip, it’s just what we do: “He said to me” and so “I said to him”; “they told us” but “we didn’t say anything to you” and so on, ad infinitum. Here are the translations of these particular phrases: “He said to me” Me lo dijo “I said to him” Se lo dije ” they told us” Nos lo dijeron “we didn’t tell you” no te lo dijimos In all of these phrases the “lo” represents the thing that is said, as though we were saying “He said it to me”, “I said it to him” and so on. Of course we can use this in any tense, not just the past. A very common phrase is in the present tense is: “Ya se lo digo” which means “I’ll tell him, or her”. We might also add “de tu parte” (“on your behalf” or “from you”). It’s
useful when someone wants you to pass on a message. Anyway, today’s subject is actually something else. It is the three different instances when indirect and direct object pronouns can be stuck onto the end of verbs instead of preceding them as we have seen until now. The three occasions are with “gerunds” “infinitives” and “imperatives”. These are actually easier for English speakers because the word order is closer to English. Let’s go straight to examples. Number one – gerunds. We will use escuchando (listening) and leyendo (reading). “Estoy escuchando” (I’m listening) “Te estoy escuchando” OR “estoy escuchándote”. (I’m listening to you) “Está leyendo” (He is reading) “Lo está leyendo” OR “Está leyéndolo” (He’s reading it) Me lo está leyendo” OR “Está leyéndomelo (He’s reading it to me) The same thing happens with our second example, infinitives. We’ll use pensar (to think) and explicar (to explain): “Quiero pensar” (I want to think) “Lo quiero pensar” OR “Quiero pensarlo” (I want to think about it)
“Voy a explicar” (I’m going to explain) “Lo voy a explicar” OR “Voy a explicarlo” (I’m going to explain it) “Te lo voy a explicar” OR “Voy a explicártelo” (I’m going to explain it to you). Whether we put the pronouns before or at the end of the verb is entirely optional and makes no difference at all to the meeting. Notice though that the order Indirect object pronoun followed by Direct object pronoun remains the same. Next week I’ll move onto the third example, imperatives, and strangely enough you will find that they bring the whole thing right back to basics with lots of memorable phrases. Honestly – you’ll see!

Mistletoe & Whine by
Chris Ashley
Writer & Broadcaster
IF I come over all Grinch like forgive me, it’s just since becoming a selfunemployed radio hack I no longer have to pretend I enjoy spinning the number one Christmas platters that matter with all the false bonhomie of Smashie & Nicey.
Noel number ones like Little Jimmy Osmond (‘72) – Renne & Renato (‘82) – Mr Blobby (‘93). Anorak attack! – since the official charts started in 1952, only 6 Christmas Number Ones have Christmas in the title – Xmas doesn’t count. Dickie Valentine ‘Christmas Alphabet’–Mud ‘Lonely This Christmas’–Shakin’ Stevens ‘Merry Christmas Everyone’- Band Aid x 3 ‘Do They Know etc.’ . That could well change by the time this ramble arrives. Even my heroes, Elvis & Springsteen’s cool Yule versions of ‘Santa Claus Is Coming To Town’ tend to pall. However there will be one very happy chappy this festive season, step forward Mr. Neville John (Noddy) Holder, MBE. With co-writer Jim Lea he’s trousered upwards of half a million quid in royalties every year since 1973 for ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’ (which really hacked off the other 2 Sladesters). Being a hot highly rated radio DJ – stop sneering & snorting – okay, okay, I turn up on time & don’t fall over the furniture, which was good enough for Wolverhampton’s Beacon Radio in the ‘80’s where Noddy would occasionally do a show. Afterwards we’d venture forth into the less salubrious areas of the borough. The sort of nicking neighbourhood where if you don’t run very very fast - the local footpads steal your shoelaces. Now it would be fair to say The Noddmeister did like a drink, which is a akin to saying Cara Delevin-thingummybob likes a selfie. Many a Friday night the locals were serenaded in the wee small hours by raucous versions of ‘Dizzy Miss Lizzy’ & ‘Summertime Blues’ etc. Great days then,but for us now (except George Clooney) ageing is no country for milksops & it must be even harder for pop Gods. Mick Hucknall now looks like the spurned love child of Charlie Drake – a cosmetically frozen faced Tom Jones could relocate to Easter Island & dear old Noddy a shoo-in as a Dickensian Beadle. As for me, all my life I’ve resembled the south end of a northbound bus, therefore no dramas. Felize Navidad to you & yours – any personal frivolous festive folderol always welcome; ashleybobble@hotmail.com

Strictly ‘FAB-U-LOUS’ STUDENTS OF Footwork Dance put on a spectacular show with ‘Roll Out the Dance Floor’ for a sell-out audience at the Casa de Musica in Los Montesinos. by JACK TROUGHTON The performance was packed with dance routines including tap, ballet, modern dance, jazz, and lyrical acrobatics. Students of all age took part in the production; underlining why they have managed a 100% pass rate in exams taken during the year. And the biggest cheer of the night went to the ‘Juniors and Talent Tots’ as they sang and danced their way through two routines and left the audience shouting for more. A donation from ticket sales from this ‘end of year’ performance and the summer show will be made to social services to help purchase wheelchairs. Footwork has also donated food and chocolate Santas to ‘Reach Out’ in Torrevieja, and supports Galgos del Sol, raising funds to aid mistreated dogs in the region.

Crispy bacon-basted turkey
INGREDIENTS 5kg-6kg oven-ready turkey, neck and giblets removed and saved for the Sticky port gravy (see ‘Goes well with’, far right) 2 thyme sprigs 1 onion, halved 1 lemon, halved 2 bay leaves 1 garlic bulb, halved For the salt mix 85g flaky sea salt 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves 1 tsp crushed black pepper
For the crispy bacon butter 6 rashers smoked streaky bacon or pancetta, chopped into small pieces 140g butter, softened 1 tbsp maple syrup METHOD If you have time the day before, salt the turkey. Make the salt mix by grinding the salt with the thyme leaves and pepper in a spice grinder or with a pestle and mortar. Sit the turkey in a roasting tin and season all over, inside and out, using about two-thirds of the salt. Leave the turkey in the tin, breast-side up, cover with cling film and put in the fridge for up to 24 hrs. If you don’t have time, or there is no room in the fridge, simply prepare the salt and season the turkey generously before roasting. To make the bacon butter, gently cook the bacon in a dry frying pan for about 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until the fat has seeped into the pan and is sizzling gently, and the bacon is crisp. Take off the heat and leave to cool slightly. Scrape the bacon and the fat into a food processor with the butter and maple syrup. Blitz to combine, scraping down the sides of the processor from time to time. Roll up the butter in cling film to form a log and place in the fridge. Can be made a few days ahead or frozen for 1 month. Remove the turkey from the fridge an hour or so before you want to cook it. Remove the bacon butter from the fridge to soften up. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Calculate your cooking time based on 40 mins per kg for the first 4kg of the turkey, plus 45 mins for every kg after that. Gently push your fingers under the skin of the turkey, starting from the neck, until you can push your whole hand in down the length of the breast. Take care not to tear the skin. Use your hands to spread the bacon butter under the skin so that it covers the entire breast area, and there is butter in the crevice between the thigh and the main body. Pop a sprig of thyme under the skin of each breast, then smooth the skin
over with your buttery hands. Place the onion, lemon, bay leaves and garlic in the cavity. Cover the tin loosely with foil and roast for the calculated cooking time – 30 mins before the end of cooking, increase the oven temperature to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, remove the foil, baste the turkey and return to the oven. When the turkey is beautifully brown and cooked through, remove from the
oven and leave to rest on a warm platter covered in foil for up to 1 hr. Pour the fat away from the roasting tin, leaving just the juices. If your tin is flameproof, pour in the Sticky Port gravy (see ‘Goes well with’, right) to reheat with the juices; if not, tip them both into a saucepan and reheat. Serve the remaining salt mix as a seasoning alongside the rest of the meal.
Christmas pudding INGREDIENTS INGRED 450g white breadcrumbs 350g golden caster sugar 225g vegetarian suet 100g self-raising flour 50g almonds, roughly chopped 225g currants 225g sultanas 225g raisins 175g mixed peel 1 tsp each mixed spice, ground ginger and grated nutmeg 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda 2 eggs 2 tbsp treacle zest and juice 1 lemon zest and juice 1 orange METHOD
Place all the ingredients, except the eggs, treacle and lemon and orange juice, into your largest bowl with 1 tsp salt, then mix. Add the remaining ingredients along with 700ml water, then mix to a consistency that drops off your spoon. Cover and leave in a cool place overnight. The mixture will become firm. The next day, add enough water to bring the mix back to a dropping consistency, then spoon into greased pudding basins – we used a 2 litre and a 1 litre. Cover with pleated greaseproof paper and foil, and secure with string. Lower the puddings into a saucepan with upturned saucers or scrunched-up bits of foil in the bottom (so the puds don’t touch the bottom), then fill with boiling water from the kettle until it comes halfway up the sides of the bowl. Simmer the smaller pudding for 2-2½ hrs and the larger one for 3-3½ hrs. Cool, wrap well in foil and chill for up to 3 days.

La Vila marches on LA VILA underwent a tough test travelling to Barcelona and achieving a narrow 8-12 victory over Santaboiana undergoing a “close call”. by Tony Fox The win enables the club to maintain its leadership of the league and a promotion push to the top flight, however, the home side showed that 2017 could still be a testing time. Four yellow cards were shown in the match - two for each side - and highlighted the ferocity of the battle. All the points came in the first half with La Vila being unable to show a second half performance of quality as is their norm. Both La Vila tries were scored by Muller with Jara converting one. The squad now enjoys a well earned break until 8th January 8th when they have a home game against Hospitalet of Barcelona. Three feather in La Vila’s cap The rugby stadium at Vilajoyosa – home of La Vila – has been selected as the venue for the visit of the Welsh international ladies rugby team. The visitors will take on a Spanish ladies team on Saturday 14th January. Full details are yet to be announced but it is an opportunity to show support for the oval ball on the Costa Blanca.

Working together for safer roads life&leisure #DrivingInSpain
Brought to you by n332.es
Major Christmas Operation Begins Today THIS WEEKEND, the roads of Spain are expected to be particularly busy at times, thanks to the Christmas holidays. HOWEVER, THIS year, it is anticipated that there will be an extra three million more journeys on the country´s roads than last year, with a total number of 16,675,000 trips during the period which starts at 15:00 on Friday, 23 December, until 00:00 on Sunday, 8 January, 2017. The main bulk of traffic movements will be split into three specific phases. The first phase of the operation will be from Friday 23rd December, until Monday 26th, although in some areas the special operation retires on the Sunday night. During this weekend, it is anticipated that 4.1 million trips will take place. Phase two will be for the end of the year celebrations, specifically from Friday, 30th December until Sunday, 1st January, on Monday in some places such as Murcia. The third phase runs over the Three Kings celebrations from Friday 5th until Sunday 8th January, 2017. The largest volume of movements in this period will focus on the central area of the peninsula (25%), followed by the region of Murcia and Valencia where 21% of displacements will take place. In order to ensure the safest flow of traffic during the operation, the Guardia Civil will be out in force on the roads, monitoring for the usual offences that contribute most highly to incidents, such as inappropriate speed, alcohol or drugs, and distractions, including the use of mobile phones. They will also be checking on the correct use of seatbelts and child restraints, and that all documentation is correct and valid. Officers on the ground will be supported by the 12 DGT helicopters in the air, including those fitted with the Pegasus monitoring equipment, which will also be monitoring for speeders, as well as seatbelt and mobile phone use. If embarking on any kind of journey during the holiday period, the advice is always the same. Allow extra time for your journey, take plenty of breaks on long trips, be patient, always drive within the speed limit and at a safe distance, and never consume alcohol or drugs before driving.
