Child abductor stopped in Torrevieja A local off-duty police officer detained a man who was trying to abduct a little girl in Torrevieja. In the paseo of the Playa del Cura (see image) a man grabbed the girl by the arm whilst she was walking with her grandmother and another member of the family. The incident took place at around 10am as the family, of Eastern European origin, were walking along the beach front. A group of people were immediately alerted by the shouts of the women and the abductor was challenged. Eventually he let go of the little girl and tried to run away but he was brought down by the officer who had been nearby at the time. The man was believed to be about 60 years old and had approached the family group. He then proceeded to grab the little girl by the arm without speaking and begun to run away with her. The shouts of the women attracted the attention of a group of people who were stood by the tourist office whilst waiting to go on an excursion. The co-ordinator of the excursion, confronted the man who was holding the
girl and tried to release her. After a scuffle, the man dropped the girl and started to run. An off-duty police officer was also alerted by the cries and arriving at the scene, ran after the man. After a few metres, next to an ice cream parlour, he
was able to bring him down. The man only asked to be released saying that he hadn’t done anything. The Guardia Civil had been informed following a 112 call made by those waiting to go on the excursion and the
man was taken to the Guardia Civil barracks where he gave a statement. The man who has been arrested suffers from psychological problems. An ambulance attended the scene as the grandmother and other family member were in a state of shock after the event. However, it was not necessary to take them to hospital. The little girl was unharmed. This is the second recent incident of this kind. In August a woman made a denuncia to report the attempted abduction of her son in a park in the city. Social media was full of warnings about this. However, the Guardia Civil have asked that people should not create hysteria or circulate the idea that kidnappings are taking place on every street corner. Unlike The Sun newspaper. They also got hold of the story and published it as a ‘holiday snatch horror’ along with the account of a family staying in Mallorca who had had a similar experience.
Next week the Costa Blanca People will be published on Wednesday rather than Tuesday. So remember to pick up your copy on Wednesday 13th September.

BITE SIZE Campaign to rid the NEWS: streets of dog poo Registration has now opened for those interested in entering their dog for Torrevieja’s 14th agility competition. The event will take place on the 30th September and 1st October and is organised by AGILITY in conjunction with Torrevieja town hall. The competition is being held in honour of ‘Blas’, a dog who recently disappeared and who was one of the first dogs to compete in this local contest. The competition will be on urbanisation Casa Grande II. The competition is limited to the first 100 who register and the final day for registering is the 25th September. There will be trophies for the first three dogs in the mini and midi categories. There will also be a special trophy in memory of Blas for the best dog of the weekend. All those interested should sign up by contacting info@agilitytorrevieja@gmail.com or by contacting José M. Paredes on 635 41 30 31. The competition can count as points in the national championships of the RSCE 2018.
Supporting the Senegal community The councillor for international residents, Carmen Morate, is working with others to support and provide advice to the Senegal community who live in Torrevieja. In particular, there is concern about reaching out to the women in this community and Councillor Morate is working with representatives from their associations to find out how they can be best supported.

Wherever you go in Torrevieja it seems as though you have to step around the dog poo on the pavement. The inability of some people to clean up after their pets brings the whole neighbourhood down and reflects badly on the community. In a bid to address the problem, the mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón has raised the issue of fines for those people who can’t manage to scoop a poop. It might come as a surprise to know that the police already have the capacity to fine people who leave their dogs’ faeces in public places. However, it is very rare that they do so. In a press release on the 29th August, the mayor announced that he has asked the Policia Local to increase their vigilance when it comes to spotting those who allow the town to be used as an urban toilet. In Articles 15 and 22 there are local laws that order that hygiene must be maintained in the town and place the obligation of removing excrement. Dog owners should also be aware that dogs should do their business in the road rather than on the pavement and in areas that are not intended for pedestrians or playgrounds. It is expected that from September there will be note taken of people who do not observe this local law. ‘Once the holiday season is over,’ says the mayor. ‘During this time the police have
many jobs to do and it is more difficult to follow this up.’ Perhaps what’s particularly surprising is the figures for the number of fines given in 2016. On only eight occasions have people been fined for not cleaning up after their dog. A figure that is described as being shameful by the mayor. ‘This figure does not correspond to the state of the streets,’ says the mayor. ‘The city

belongs to everyone and we must act rigorously on this. We have to follow up the law. We wouldn’t allow other laws to be so little applied.’ The fines can total from €90 to €1,500 depending upon the level of seriousness of the infringement. It will be interesting to see whether people do take note of the new crack down and whether our streets become a poo-free zone. Suzanne O’Connell

BITE SIZE Improving security NEWS: Continued from page 3 On the 31st August there was a meeting with the councillor, Carlos González from the Foreigners’ office and two people from the programme to provide work opportunities for young people. One of the subjects they talked about was courses in Spanish language and literacy. A particular concern is ensuring that the community have training opportunities to enable them to access regular employment. Currently the community is mostly associated with illegal trading around the area.
La Torre de La Mata in trouble The tower located on the beach front in La Mata has been causing concern for a while. Over the years, stormy weather has eroded the stone to leave it structurally unsafe. Urgent repair work has been needed to protect the tower which is of historic interest. Historically, the tower was used in the loading of salt from the laguna de la Mata. It experienced many changes at the beginning of the century and has been of cultural interests since 1995. This and the Torre del Moro are the only two buildings that Torrevieja has in this listed category. The Ministry of the Environment started the work in late June and it was expected to take three months. However, there were problem with the company chosen to carry out the work and another business had to be selected. Altogether it will cost €350,000 to carry out this corrective work. The storms of December, January and March were particularly responsible for damage to the building. It is intended to reconstruct the tower as closely as possible to its original condition.
Out of control bus ploughs into wall A bus entering the bus station in Torrevieja crashed into a ticket office at the weekend. The accident caused significant damage to the ticket office and to a woman who was waiting there who had to be taken to hospital. The bus driver was also treated, suffering from shock. The incident happened at 5pm when, for reasons currently being investigated, the bus didn’t break when arriving at the terminal and ended up embedded in the wall of the ticket office servicing a regular bus route which takes travellers from Torrevieja to Bilbao. The bus ran into a woman who was waiting there and she had to be pulled from the rubble and moved in the ambulance to the Hospital Quirón. Two fire engines from Torrevieja’s fire station also attended the incident. It is unknown how serious the woman’s injuries are but, it is believed she was kept in the emergency area of the hospital. Continued on page 6
Following the attack on Las Ramblas in Barcelona, Torrevieja was quick to look at its own security measures in the town centre. As a result, stone bollards were positioned at key points of the paseos, which are heaving during August evenings. The mayor announced on Friday the 18th August that measures would be taken to improve the security of those living in and visiting the town. The first measure was to place vehicles at crucial points and to increase the police presence. Finally it was to place the bollards in positions where a vehicle might have entered a pedestrianized area, such as it did in Barcelona. Due to the emergency nature of this decision, José Manuel Dolón did not seek agreement but was able to put the plan into operation immediately. The resulting stone blocks are the same as those that are used on the roads to delineate where construction work is being done. The 30 blocks were positioned on the morning of Saturday 19th August, just 48 hours after the Barcelona attacks took place. They block vehicular entry on the paseos Vista Alegre, Libertad and Juan Aparicio. The edges of the blocks were painted red to make them even more noticeable and to prevent pedestrians from walking into them.
Not a particularly pretty sight but one that is hoped to prevent an incident in the town. However, for those people who are concerned about the look of the bollards, they are only considered to be a temporary measure until alternative obstacles can be found that will maintain the appearance of the area.
This might have seemed an extreme action to take, but it should be remembered that in 2002 Torrevieja was the scene of a bomb blast detonated by the terrorist organisation ETA. It is, after all, a popular seaside town with a very high international and national tourist population. By attacking a tourist area, there isn’t only the resulting loss of life but also the attraction of the city as a tourist destination can be damaged. The preventative measures of the council will be welcomed by many. Suzanne O’Connell
CHILD FOUND MURDERED IN ELDA The Spanish National Police is investigating the death of an eight-yearold child who was found on inside a home in Elda, a town of around 55,000 residents in the province of Alicante. Next to him was a pregnant woman who had been bound, gagged and beaten. Authorities said that an autopsy performed on the child was not conclusive, but suggested suffocation as a possible cause of death. Investigators are searching for two individuals so far only identified as wearing motorcycle helmets, according to the woman’s account of the crime. The boy was in cardiac arrest when the police arrived at the scene; a medical team was called in but attempts at resuscitation failed. There were no external signs of violence on his body. He had been living in the house with his foster father and the latter’s partner – the woman who was attacked, who is around 30 years old and four months pregnant. The government delegate in the Valencia region, Juan Carlos Moragues, confirmed that the case remains wide open.
A neighbour found the victims around 9pm, when she heard a scream coming out of the apartment, located on Quijote street in Elda. The neighbor found the front door ajar, walked in and saw the child on the floor and the woman tied up. Relatives of the woman, who is hearing impaired, have denied early media reports that both her and the child had been sexually assaulted, according to the local newspaper Valle de Elda. The child’s foster father, a track and field coach who is well known in town, had to be held back by the police when he came home from work and learned what had happened. Officers placed him in handcuffs to prevent him from hurting himself. The child had been in his care for four years, according to local newspaper reports. Regional officials at the Valencia government said that the minor was autistic and required special care. “Elda is a quiet town with kind, hardworking people,” said Mayor Rubén Alfaro at a press conference. “Nobody can ever be prepared for something like this.”

At the same time it was an opportunity to listen to what the members of the different groups had to say, the difficulties they have and how things can be improved for the town’s people. It was a

good opportunity for associations to pool their ideas and was open to anyone including charities, foreign organisations and associations, sporting and cultural groups. Councillor Ferrández pointed out that it is important for there to be opportunity to talk together in a relaxed way at an event such as this. A DJ played music and everyone had chance to dance either to the most popular summer songs, or more traditional Spanish tunes. Suzanne O’Connell
Parking dangers in La Mata In La Mata there is an area of approximately five thousand square metres that lies across the top of the Canal de la Mata. In spite of the fact that cars are prohibited from parking there, the area continues to be used as a giant car park. The structure that was built over the canal was not expected to carry the degree of weight that it now does and parking there is dangerous. This area that connects the sea with the Salinas is at risk of sinking and taking the cars with it too. It’s easy to see why drivers take the risk. The parking situation in this area, along with the rest of Torrevieja, is horrendous during the summer season. Approximately 100 cars park there everyday even though local laws say they should not and despite the eight signs forbidding you to do so. Although the police can issue fines to the people who park here or have vehicles towed away, to date they haven’t done so. The councillor Javier Manzanares points out that there is a lack of town police officers and it is difficult to be everywhere you need to be in the summer season. It’s not just the town hall that recognises the dangers of parking in this area. It was the provincial government that has ordered the town council to move the weekly market that used to be situated there too. This has also been causing problems for the town council as they have continued to search for a place that is agreeable to stall holders and feasible for the relocation of the market. Suzanne O’Connell
Father leaves daughter, 5, home alone to go singing A Spanish father has been arrested in Guardamar del Segura for leaving his five-year-old daughter home alone when he went for a night out at a karaoke bar. One of his neighbours called the police at around 03.25 on Friday morning after hearing the little girl screaming and sobbing. Officers climbed the fence into the terrace of the house in Guardamar and, the second the little girl saw the police, she ran to them and hugged them. Police inspected the house to see whether anything untoward had happened to the girl’s father, with whom she lives alone, but they did not see any sign of him or his car near or in the building.
A search party led to his car being located outside a bar where a karaoke was being held. Given that the father, aged 35, was completely sober and in no way impaired in his ability to look after his daughter, so after he was arrested and had testified before a duty judge, he was released with charges pending trial. Police and the judge said the little girl had ‘already been through enough distress’ without adding to it by keeping her father in custody and placing her in temporary care. They allowed him to go home to stay with her until the court case.
Three arrested for a sexual aggression against a Briton Three men have been detained by the Guardia Civil as the supposed authors of the crimes of sexual aggression against a British woman and violent theft with intimidation committed in a home in the Murcia district of Gea y Truyols last year. One of the detained was under age at the time and has been released on bail. The detained, of Spanish and Ecuadorian nationalities, aged between 19 and 34 are residents of San Javier and of Cartagena. Both have a criminal record and have been placed at the disposition of the Murcia Instruction Court 5 which has been controlling the operation. Named ‘Vallesol’ the operation is investigating the evidence of what occurred during the afternoon of May 20, 2016 when
three people, with their faces hidden, entered the home owned by a woman who was about to swim in the pool. The men beat her repeatedly dragging her though different rooms of the house with the intention of stealing jewels and cash as they went. During the burglary, the victim had her hands and feet tied and suffered a brutal and humiliating sexual aggression. At the time, the victim’s sister was staying with her, and returned to the house interrupting the attack. The men fled using the victim’s car which they abandoned just around the corner from the crime. The seriousness of the crime caused outrage and social alarm among the locals.

Sports provision increases its hours
Campoverde church sends its e-message
The councillor for Sports, Victor Ferrández, announced an increase in opening hours at sports facilities in Torrevieja at his press conference. The new hours will include the weekends, the opening of offices in the afternoon and an increase in maintenance shifts. These changes will apply to all the activities at the Sports Palace, the football fields and racket areas. On Sunday the activities used to be available from 8am until 2pm and in the new season they will be open until 9pm. ‘Therefore we have increased the opening hours on a Sunday by seven hours,’ explained the councillor. The gymnasium was open from Monday to Friday from 9am until 1pm and from 5pm until 10pm. On Saturdays the opening times were from 9am until 1pm. After the extension they will now be open from Monday to Friday throughout the day from 9am until 10pm. On Saturdays the opening times will be from 9am until 7pm. There will always be at least one monitor in the gym whilst it is open. As a result of restructuring, the system of having shifts in the gym has been abandoned. Previously there were shifts alternating of Monday, Wednesday and Friday or Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. ‘From now on,’ explained the councillor, ‘You can participate at any time during the opening hours. It will also be open during August 2018, something that doesn’t usually happen.’ The indoor swimming pool is expected to open towards the end of the year and they also hope to increase the amount of time that the public can use it including weekdays and weekends. The new hours will be specified when the pool is open again. Maintenance personnel will also be available for an increased amount of time to ensure that activities can take place without problems. There will also be administrative personnel available in the afternoons and from the 4th September the office opening times changed from 8am until 3pm to 8am until 10.30pm. ‘This system will be help us ensure that registrations are done quickly.’ Suzanne O’Connell
The Anglican Chaplaincy of St Peter & St Paul in Torrevieja are keen to keep up with the social media trends of the times. They recently launched their new website www.c-of-etorrevieja.com and have an inspirational sign for people to see as they pass the church. The first sign went up on July 28th and now the most recent sign keeps the church right up in the digital age. The message ‘Faithbook’ reminds people that Facebook might be one of the most modern means of communication but there’s one that was in existence long before this. ‘For Christians, God’s means of communicating His message to use is through the bible,’ explains Maggie Dew from Campoverde Church. ‘We like to call it God’s ‘Faithbook’.’Through the Faithbook
Maggie describes how God sends friend requests. ‘We hope that by relating God’s word to a way of communicating that everyone understand,’ says Maggie. ‘People will get that God truly wants us to trust Him in a way we would trust our friends, and more.’ This is the latest sign publicised on the message board in the Campoverde Church garden. In two weeks there will be a new one that they hope you will look out for. If you would like more information about Campoverde Church you can visit their Facebook page on www.facebook.com/campoverdechurch or email maggieruthdew@hotmail.com or contact Father Richard Seabrook on frras@c-of-e-torrevieja.com Suzanne O’Connell

Geeks and collectors come to ComarCon On the 14th and 15th October it’s the 5th day of ‘alternative leisure’ in Torrevieja. Held at the Sports Palace, ‘ComarCon 2017’ is an opportunity for all those who are video game enthusiasts, love comic books, table games, animations, manga and make other unusual collections to come along and indulge themselves for a few hours.

There’s free entrance, a huge variety of activities and participation and promotion of many different associations, including that of the University of Alicante. The event will be open to the public from 10am to 9pm without any breaks during the day. There will be workshops and talks related to the
hobbies on show and the world of comic books. Retro video games will be on display dating back thirty years and there will be opportunity for participants to take part in various contests. The Vice President of the Comarca Association, Alexandro Sesma, claims the event to be one of the largest ‘free entry’ alternative leisure opportunities throughout Spain. ‘More than 4,000 people attended the last two events,’ explains Sesma, ‘It’s accessible to everyone and is an opportunity to enjoy the oriental culture, share leisure interests and enjoy.’ This event does not just appeal to those living locally. Comic book, table top enthusiasts and video game fanatics will be coming to the event from all over Spain. Suzanne O’Connell Above centre: The poster advertising the event

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE The pound had a stronger start to the week as investors responded to the Labour Party’s changing stance on Brexit. It kept pace with the euro, increasing by over 0.5% by Friday but a lot can happen, even in a short week. The recent round of Brexit talks appeared to end in stalemate and the pound wobbled in response. The euro, meanwhile, continued to show strength in the market. Tuesday saw the euro briefly break a psychological barrier against the US dollar at $1.20. This was almost inevitable, given that the euro has rallied 14% against the dollar since January of this year, while the dollar has dropped -8% in the
same period. There appears to be growing unease about the strength of the euro, but at the moment there has been no definite action to check its growth. All eyes will be on ECB President Mario Draghi during the September meeting to see whether he will break his silence on whether the tapering of ECB quantitative easing is on its way. Any mention of such action was notable in its absence at the conclusion of the Jackson Hole meeting last week; in the meantime the euro remains firm due to positive economic figures across the Eurozone and relative political instability causing sharper fluctuations elsewhere.

Summer is a good time to not only check on your Perennials, but to divide them as well. These are plants that live for more than two years, which is great, as they provide you with vegetables/fruit year upon year - as long as they are tidied up a bit and not left abandoned. However, some of them can live for only a few years and others for a long time. The Apricot - (Prunus armeniaca) - named because it is believed that they originated in Armenia. They have also been grown in Iran for many centuries and dried, which is a favourite way of eating them for the locals. The Apricot tree generally is small and only grows to a height of around 39 feet tall (maximum) and the trunk is about 16 inches in diameter. You can have many or just the one as they do not need other trees for pollination - they can do it themselves! When you plant your tree make sure you cover over the base and roots with soil, patting it down as you go along, as with most other plants/trees. They bloom earlier than most other fruits, so if there is an early frost, be careful of them, plant on a higher part of soil in your garden if at all possible. If your apricot tree gets frost on it and there are flowers, it will kill these off and therefore the tree will produce hardly any fruit at all if any. The fruit has one central stone to it with the seed inside this, for replanting, if you want to start from scratch! It would possibly be better to plant it in September, before the autumn, so that it has long enough to take root before the winter comes along. They neither like the extreme cold nor heat, so don’t put it in an area all on it’s own, have other things
growing around it to protect it. If you want to have large fruit on your tree you need to pick them as they grow to keep them apart from one another - about two inches apart should do the trick. A beautiful plant that should be showing off at the moment is from the Asteraceae family and is known as the Rhodanthemum catananche. Its flowers have peach coloured petals with silvery leaves and are blooming right now and will go through to the summer too. I have seen them on the side of the roads and they are glorious. They are quite hardy as originated from the Atlas mountain range of Morocco and Algeria, so can withstand our winter season as well as the summer. It normally blooms in early May but of course this depends on the weather and it can either come a few weeks earlier or later. Lastly for this week a few things to do: - Don’t forget to pick off any dead parts of plants now as the frost looks to have gone and then they can start their regrowth once again. Everything should have been planted by now that warrants it and well watered to get the roots growing before the heat of the sun really kicks in. Any plants that require feeding should be fed now too, basically great care of plants as they start their new lifecycle. Clear out any old seed packets (past sell by date), broken plant pots (unless wanted for mosaics or edging for boarders), bits of old broken hosepipe and so on. Make sure all gardening tools are clean and sharpened and put in a safe place away from youngsters who may cause themselves harm. Marc Vijverberg

WELCOME TO LEIPZIG with Vivalia Travel The historic central area of Leipzig features a renaissance style ensemble of buildings from the 16th century, including the old city hall in the market place
Leipzig is the most populous city in the federal state of Saxony, Germany. With a population of 582,277 inhabitants it is Germany's tenth most populous city. Leipzig is located about 160 kilometres southwest of Berlin at the confluence of the White Elster, Pleisse, and Parthe rivers at the southern end of the North German Plain. Leipzig later played a significant role in instigating the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, through events which took place in and around St. Nicholas Church. Since the reunification of Germany, Leipzig has undergone significant change with the restoration of some historical buildings, the demolition of others,
and the development of a modern transport infrastructure. Oper Leipzig is one of the most prominent opera houses in Germany], and traces its establishment to the year 1693, making it the third oldest opera venue in Europe after La Fenice (Venice, Italy) and the Hamburg State Opera (Hamburg, Germany). History Leipzig is derived from the Slavic word Lipsk, which means "settlement where the linden trees In 1937 the Nazi government officially renamed the city Reichsmessestadt Leipzig (Imperial Trade Fair City Leipzig Since 1989 Leipzig is informally dubbed "Hero City" (Heldenstadt), in recognition of the role that the Monday demonstrations there played in the fall of the East German regime – the formulation alludes to the honorary title awarded in the former Soviet Union to certain cities that played a key role in the victory of the Allies during the Second World War. Origins Leipzig was first documented in 1015 in the chronicles of Bishop Thietmar of Merseburg as 'urbs Libzi' and endowed with city and market privileges in 1165 by Otto the Rich. Leipzig Trade Fair, started in the Middle Ages, became an event of international importance and is the oldest remaining trade fair in the world. There are records of commercial fishing operations on the River Pleisse in Leipzig dating back to 1305, when the Margrave Dietrich the Younger granted the fishing rights to the church and convent of St. Thomas. Geography Leipzig lies at the confluence of the rivers White Elster, Pleisse and Parthe, in the Leipzig Bay, on the most southerly part of the North German Plain, which is the part of the North European Plain in Germany. The site is characterized by swampy areas such as the Leipzig Riverside Forest, though there are also some limestone areas to the north of the city. Culture, sights and cityscape The historic central area of Leipzig features a renaissance style ensemble of buildings from the 16th century, including the old city hall in the market place. There are also several baroque period trading houses and former residences of rich merchants.
The building of the St. Paul's Church was destroyed by the communists in 1968 to make room for a new main building of the university. After some debate, the city decided to establish a new, mainly secular building at the same location, called Paulinum, which was completed in 2012. Museums and arts The city's contemporary arts highlight was the Neo Rauch retrospective opening in April 2010 at the Leipzig Museum of Fine Arts. This is a show devoted to the father of the New Leipzig School of artists The building complex of the Grassi Museum contains three more of Leipzig's major collections: the Ethnography Museum, Applied Arts Museum and Musical Instrument Museum (the last of which is run by the University of Leipzig). Music Johann Sebastian Bach worked in Leipzig from 1723 to 1750, conducting the Thomanerchor (St. Thomas Church Choir), at the St. Thomas Church, the St. Nicholas Church and the Paulinerkirche, the university church of Leipzig .The composer Richard Wagner was born in Leipzig in 1813, in the BrĂźhl. Robert Schumann was also active in Leipzig music, having been invited by Felix Mendelssohn when the latter established Germany's first musical conservatoire in the city in 1843. This conservatory is today the University of Music and Theatre Leipzig. A broad range of subjects are taught, including artistic and teacher training in all orchestral instruments, voice, interpretation, coaching, piano chamber music, orchestral conducting, choir conducting and musical composition in various musical styles. The Bach-Archiv Leipzig, an institution for the documentation and research of the life and work of Bach (and also of the Bach family), was founded in Leipzig in 1950 by Werner Neumann. The Bach-Archiv organizes the prestigious International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition, initiated in 1950 as part of a music festival marking the bicentennial of Bach's death. The city's musical tradition is also reflected in the worldwide fame of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra under the baton of chief conductor Riccardo Chailly and the Thomanerchor. Economy The city is a location for automobile manufacturing by BMW and Porsche in large plants north of the city. In 2011 and 2012 DHL transferred the bulk of its European air operations from Brussels Airport to Leipzig/Halle Airport. Kirow Ardelt AG, the world market leader in breakdown cranes, is based in Leipzig. The city also houses the European Energy Exchange, the leading energy exchange in Central Europe.

He only wanted money
Always the bridesmaid
My nephew phoned to say wanted to come and visit us, quite out of the blue. When we left for Spain 10 years ago, we said to everyone in the family that they would be welcome to come and stay. Family members came except my nephew who hasn’t kept in touch at all. We now realise that he only came to ask us to lend him money. We refused. We had our suspicions but now feel used as he never even put his hand in his pocket once, and left with a flea in his ear. He has since told his mother lies and now she, (my sister) is not speaking to us.
I get asked to be a bridesmaid a lot by my friends (11 times now). I desperately want to get married and be a bride myself, but I have never had a serious relationship. I am 20 and anyone I go out with they don’t seem to want to go out more than a couple of weeks. I try and go for lads who I think are marriage material, but they get scared off when I get the wedding magazines out! My friends have all settled down in relationships and I am feeling left out. What is wrong with me?
Well at least you know where you stand with him. Unfortunately some people are totally selfish and money orientated. I hope you have tried to explain to your sister that you are not a lending company. As annoying as this is, I would try and put it behind you. You did the right thing to refuse him. His behaviour was unacceptable.
There’s nothing wrong with you, however you might need to try not being so desperate as perhaps lads are picking up on this. You are young yet so try to enjoy yourself and don’t think too far in to the future. Remember not all marriages work out so take your time, and wait for the right person. You will have your turn one day and your friends will be your bridesmaids.

San Miguel access road works The Valencian Government has published the contract for the project to improve road safety on the CV-95 east access to San Miguel de Salinas, which leads to Torrevieja. The project has a maximum budget of €1,703,996 and consists of building two roundabouts, one to access San Miguel and urbanisation Balcón de la Costa, and the other to exit towards Torrevieja, to reorganise the accesses from the bypass, leaving it so vehicles can only pull on or off to the right, and creating two bus stops.

The work includes completely relaying the roads, replacing the signs and street lights, replacing utility services and constructing several reinforced concrete frames for drainage of the existing ravine. The Town Hall said all this will resolve a “historic” problem caused by the high intensity of traffic and the different exits and entrances which have made this area into a black spot of the CV-95 with more than 18 serious accidents in recent years.

Horse rescue centre celebrates reaching fundraising target Generous supporters from around the world have donated €20,000 to rebuild and extend Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre’s crumbling perimeter wall to secure and protect the Spanish sanctuary’s 108 rescued equines. Co-founders Sue and Rod Weeding began calling for donations in March, hoping to raise €7,000 to extend the height of a planned boundary wall upgrade to provide better protection for the equines from the bitterly cold winter winds and blistering summer sun. That followed a successful 2016 campaign to raise €13,000 to fund the initial boundary upgrade, which was prompted by a string of break-ins at the centre and intimidating behaviour relating to the rescue of Oscar, a horse that arrived starving and dehydrated. Altogether, more than 200 donors contributed to the campaign, with donations coming from as far away as America, Canada, Thailand and Singapore. That included one very kind donor, who wished to remain anonymous, who this month donated the final €800 needed to hit the overall fundraising target. “Never in our wildest dreams when we started the rescue centre did we ever imagine that so many people would support us and be so passionate about what we do,” said Sue. “It’s so uplifting and inspiring for us to know that so many people are behind us and believe in what we’re
doing. We’re so grateful that people are willing to put their hands into their own pockets and donate to help us build this wall.” The rebuild is more important than ever as the number of rescued equines at the sanctuary continues to grow, with yet another pony rescued last Saturday, the fifth rescue in just six weeks. The stallion, believed to be about 8 years old, was found wandering the streets. Almoradí officers managed to catch the pony by wrapping police tape around his neck, then held him in a dog pen inside the police station until Rod arrived – events which underscore the importance of Easy Horse Care’s work amid a lack of official facilities for abandoned equines in Spain. The pony is almost blind in one eye, likely the result of a severe blow to the head, and also appears to have serious confirmation issues. He is now being cared for at the Rojales sanctuary.
Provision for the future Sue said the new solid boundary would enable the centre to make better use of space as more rescues come in. “We’ll be able to divide up the fields with additional fencing, creating four new turn-out areas, which will be invaluable for our 108 horses, ponies and donkeys,” she added. With funding secured, construction
of the wall is now on the home straight. Rod, formerly a professional builder in the UK, is doing much of the work himself and is now completing the final section of blockwork on the 218-metre long boundary wall. Demonstrating the Weedings’ dedication to the project, Rod has been digging the knee-deep footings for the wall by hand since the centre’s mini-digger broke down last month, prompting them to call for donations to replace this critical piece of equipment. Donations can be made online at http://easyhorsecare.net/donate/mini -digger. The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre relies entirely on donations to fund its important animal welfare work. Goodquality furniture donations are currently sought for the centre’s charity stores, which are low on stock. Anyone interested in making a donation, becoming a long-term sponsor, or volunteering at the rescue centre or in the charity shops can call Sue on 652 021 980. Located just outside Rojales at Partido Lo Garriga, 59, the centre opens to the public on the first Sunday of every month between 1pm and 4pm. Free horse tours run throughout the afternoon and refreshments are available in the café. For more details and directions, please visit www.easyhorsecare.net or search for @EasyHorseCare on Facebook.

UK companies 'need to act' as EU workers plan to leave post-Brexit Around a million European workers are likely to leave the UK for good once Brexit goes ahead, including a third of Spanish scientists, according to a recent paper by KPMG. The effects of Brexit on European Union citizens, as the research is titled, reveals that although 45 percent of EU employees have expressed their intention to stay on in Britain no matter what, a further 35 percent are considering leaving and 8percent have
already decided to do so, whilst the remainder are as yet undecided. Just over half of EU workers in Britain say they are hoping their companies will ask them to stay and help make it possible for them to do so if they face any hurdles. Spaniards in Britain typically work in the catering industry, in teaching, in the NHS or in science, meaning they fall into the category of European employees most likely to be considering leaving –
EU chief Brexit negotiator tells UK to get serious The EU’s chief Brexit negotiator has urged the UK to ‘start negotiating seriously’. Michel Barnier said his team needed clarification from Brexit Secretary David Davis on key points as their third round of talks began in Brussels. The rights of 1.2 million British expats, including 300,000 living in Spain, as well as 3.4 million EU residents in the UK are top of negotiators’ list of concerns. Barnier said: “We need UK positions on all separation issues. We need UK papers
that are clear in order to have constructive negotiations. “And the sooner we remove the ambiguity the sooner we will be in a position to discuss the future relationship and to a transitional period.” It comes after campaigners slammed the Home Office after deportation orders were wrongly sent to up to 100 EU citizens in Britain.
independent, qualified and young. Among those meeting this description planning on leaving or strongly considering doing so are 50 percent of respondents who hold PhDs and 39 percent of those with lower post-graduate qualifications – certificates, diplomas or master's degrees, or the professional equivalent. Of those respondents who earn between 50,000 and 100,000 pounds a year (€54,000 to €108,000) before tax, a
total of 52 percent are thinking seriously about leaving or have decided to do so. Spain’s Brexit and internationalisation leader at KPMG Spain, Antonio Hernández, says the results of the research ‘highlight the importance’ of how companies intend to act to prevent a ‘haemorrhage of talent’ from the UK as a result of its leaving the European Union. This is especially the case given how
many are undecided, and how many are still at the ‘strongly considering’ stage and could be persuaded to stay put, Hernández says. Based upon KPMG's findings, Hernández believes the future in Britain will see ‘huge competition’ for talented staff among companies, and a high number of firms deciding to ‘complement’ their existing employee teams with Artificial Intelligence and robotics.
Shadowy economy
ranges from paying a tradesman or a babysitter in undeclared cash to the illegal wildlife trade, counterfeiting and money laundering. Untaxed and unrecorded economic activity boomed during the global financial crisis and continues to grow. The global shadow economy is thought to be worth at least €550 billion. While large shadow economies mean governments lose out on tax revenues, it has also been argued that attempting to curb them can limit economic growth and hamper innovation.
Just under 20 percent of Spain’s economy operates ‘in the shadows’, says new research. In a new chart based on research by Germany’s Institute for Applied Economic Research (IAW), southern European countries dominate the list of selected industrialized countries with shadow economies. Spain has the third largest shadow
economy as a share of its total GDP, at 17.2 percent. Greece has the highest at 21.5 percent, with Italy in second place at 19.8 percent. The UK ranked eighth on 9.4 percent. A shadow economy is the total value of transactions by businesses and individuals that occur ‘off the books’ – i.e. work done for cash to avoid paying tax into the system or follow regulations. It
Spain thinks EU More than a dozen Brits detained in Mallorca drug raid will be fine Spain’s foreign minister has given his views on Brexit – the exact flip-side to the arguments cited by those who voted ‘leave’: that the European Union ‘managed fine before Britain joined’ and ‘will also be fine after it quits’. Alfonso Dastis is quite clear that he thinks Brexit is a bad move and that Britain will not make many friends if it goes ahead. “The British have never been completely happy in the EU, which is probably partly why they want to leave,” Dastis said during the conference The future of the European Union on the 60th anniversary of the Treaties of Rome at Santander's International Menéndez y Pelayo University. “The EU was created without the UK, therefore it will be able to carry on existing perfectly well without them, too,” Dastis stressed. “Britain has taken a sovereign, but erroneous, decision which Europe did not see coming and would have preferred not to have happened – a decision through which the UK will throw centuries of diplomacy in Europe down the toilet. “Britain has always attempted the ‘divide and conquer’ approach and been present to manage European alliances, to ensure these did not go against them – but the British now run the risk of making exactly that happen with its current process.” Part of the ‘leave’ campaign’s reasons for quitting the EU was the cost of membership, which they famously quoted as 350 million pounds a week – this is the gross figure and does not take into account what comes back in European grants, although the UK is, along with the club's other wealthier members, a net contributor rather than a net beneficiary. Dastis said looking at the costs of membership was a short-sighted view. “EU membership is actually cheap at the price if you consider what it's really worth,” he explains. “It always reminds me of a quote by [the early 20th-century Spanish
poet] Antonio Machado: ‘it's idiotic to confuse value with price’; and I believe the EU is much more valuable than the price we pay to be a part of it.” Spain is keen to ensure the rights of Britons living in the country, and Spaniards living in the UK, remain intact, although the final say will not be down to individual countries. Whilst European expats in Britain – including those from Spain – say prime minister Theresa May’s proposals of ‘settled status’ give them a raw deal, EU leaders appear much more determined to ensure that, rather like children caught between divorcing parents, UK citizens living in Europe will be top priority and should not be made to suffer. A growing number of Brits in Spain are considering obtaining Spanish citizenship, which is, fortunately, relatively easy to acquire – a multiplechoice ‘culture and society’ test, for which past papers are available, requires a score of 15 out of 25 correct options, and the language test is at level A2, or about the equivalent of a good GCSE or O-level, but below A-level standard. For those who prefer not to, the fact that the EU is on their side is a huge comfort.
Detectives from the Organised Crime Team of the Judicial Police in Algaida of the Guardia Civil discovered drug trafficking among the British tourist community in the most dramatic and extensive way ever seen in Calvià and activated the ‘Tatum Operation’.
A helicopter was used from the Armed Institute and scanned the area, and then agents from the Security Reserve Group – the elite of the Guardia Civil sent expressly from Valencia - started to make the arrests. They were assisted in the house searches by agents from the Citizen Safety Unit. A canine unit brought a team of dogs to
Rajoy and River of Trump to plastic in meet in Rojales Washington in September
Spain’s president Mariano Rajoy will meet with his US counterpart Donald Trump in the White House on 25 September, where they will talk about terrorism and relations between the two countries and with the European Union. This will be the first one-to-one meeting between Trump and Rajoy, who have only met briefly on two occasions – once at the NATO Summit in Brussels in May, and again at the G20 Summit in Hamburg in July. Trump and Rajoy have also spoken on the telephone, the most recent time being a fortnight ago after the terror attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils. Rajoy has been to the White House once before, when he met the then US president Barack Obama in January 2014.
Thousands of plastic bottles, mainly drinks containers, are accumulating in the River Segura where it enters Rojales from Benijófar by the commercial area. This is due to the rain over the last few days which has also dragged canes towards Rojales town centre. The Platform in Defence of the Farmland has blamed the Segura Hydrographic Confederation (CHS) for doing nothing to stop this happening every time it rains. An image of the neglected river did not go unnoticed on social networks. On Twitter there were so many comments about it that the hashtag #Rojales became a trending topic. There is also foam in the River Segura in Rojales and Orihuela almost certainly because the water has picked up liquids like detergents in urban areas. The CHS confirmed that yesterday it took numerous samples from the River in Murcia where the was also foam but did not find any kind of contaminated spill
smell out the hidden drugs. The largest single haul was found in the boot of a car parked in a garage in Calle Reina María Cristina in Palma, the agents from the Armed Institute traced the owner to his home in Calle Aragó. They accompanied him back to his car and found two kilos of cocaine.
Woman hit at Torrevieja bus station A woman was injured last Thursday when a bus drove into her after losing control at Torrevieja bus station. The vehicle, a regular passenger service, ended up smashing into a ticket office in the building at about 5pm. The bus took a woman who was waiting outside the ticket office with it. She had to be rescued by fire fighters and was later taken to Torrevieja hospital. The impact caused serious damaged to the ticket office, which had to be fenced off as a precaution.

CALL IN THE ANGELS OF THE FOUR ELEMENTS The four elements - Earth, Air, Fire and water - are the root of all matter, and stand for the basis of creation itself. Without even one of the elements, our planet would not exist. Each is as vital as the next. In ancient times, the elements were considered to be the building blocks of the Universe. As they are so integral to your reality, we can call on them to assist us in any area of our life that we may find challenging. To do this, we can ask the angels of a specific element to come to our rescue. In summary, Air stands for thought, Fire for desire, Water for emotions, and Earth for stability. The angels of Air Air is the breath of life and is associated with communication and the power of the mind and consciousness. Its symbol is a pair of wings, representing freedom, communication and intellect. The element of Air is connected to the soul and mind, and the angels of Air will assist in dispelling any negativity from past life memories, helping you to move forward and bring new ideas to fruition, as well as recognising fresh opportunities that may come your way. The Angels of Air will also assist with psychometry, hypnosis and astral projection, wrapping you in their loving, protective wings in the process. The element of Fire Fire is about strong will power and energy as well as
transforming water to gas, or solids to liquids and you can call upon the Angels of Fire to help you transform negativity into a positive experience. They can also help when you need courage - for they are strong and brave and will stand by your side in times of trouble. They can literally help you to turn your life around. The element of Water Water is used for healing, cleansing and purification. This element is also associated with unconditional love. It represents our emotions. As water flows, so does the mind which constantly evolves adapts and grows. The Angels of Water appear in feminine form because water is a Yin energy and is connected with the aspects of the Goddess. So it will come as no surprise that the Archangel Gabriel is aligned with this element. These beautiful angels can help improve your self-image and change how you feel about yourself by giving you the will-power to persevere with a personal 'make-over'. The element of Earth Earth is nurturing, stable, solid and firm. It is the land beneath our feet, full of endurance and strength. It represents our form - our flesh and blood, bones and hair. Call upon the Angels of Earth to bring prosperity and security into your life. Be sure to honour the angels of Earth by being kind to our beautiful planet.

Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada & published author of “Moving Forward – 25 Essential Rules For Buying & Selling Real Estate Without Going Crazy.” Request your FREE copy today! Anything in life can be fun, depending on your attitude. Is the glass half full or half empty? Are you excited about the adventure and anticipation of your next step in life, or are you dreading it and carrying around fear and anxiety and hesitation? Most people embark readily upon the process to sell their house, but they give a bit of resistance when it comes time to show it. Eventually there’s a time that’s just not convenient, but don’t set such tight expectations and boundaries that it becomes more difficult to see your house than anyone else’s. Ask any Real Estate Agent about how hard it is to schedule showings for the seller that doesn’t have the right mindset, and they’ll tell you it’s a negotiating process to get them out of the house. When you’re selling a property, be open-minded to viewings at all times and let the buyer lead. Think of yourself as the most flexible family in the world, and become just that. Find ways to jump in the car at a moment’s notice, make a family contest of speed bed making or room cleaning to clean up the house in five minutes before you jet out the door, and make it fun. Instead of stressing about everything, anticipate last minute showings, prepare for them, and make it an adventure. Plan a calendar of weekend getaways so that agents can show your house with ease. And if you are actually in town, make it easy. When it’s time to sell your house, communicate with every member of the family. Don’t talk about it in a negative manner, and don’t dread showings. Make a fun escape or adventure to do with the family on days that you’ve got showings. Even if the showing is in the evening during dinner time, prepare to vacate the house and go have dinner out instead, or plan a
brief drive around the block. Prepare for the showings in advance by communicating with every member of the family about their role and the benefits of selling the house. The pain of keeping the house clean is short-lived compared to how much fun it will be to move to a different home, or another city or neighborhood where you will make new friends, buy new furnishings, or get more space to enjoy. Look at the upside, and enjoy the journey. Attitude is everything. Instead of being stuck in the mire and the frustration of what you think lies ahead in the unknown, focus on the end goal. Yes, you’re probably going to have to do some donating of clothes, spring cleaning, throwing away, and repairs along the way in the selling process, but it’s worth it. By getting rid of the old to make room for the new, you get a new house—both now and for the future. Isn’t it neat to have your current home looking like a magazine spread right now? Can’t you breathe easier and maybe even sleep better at night? Studies have shown that neat, uncluttered environments contribute to our sense of peace and wellbeing. What better way to go into such a large and important transaction as selling your home? Take on the challenge and de-clutter, clean out that backyard or closet, call and have that nagging repair finally fixed. Look at the pot of gold that is waiting at the other end. These small efforts will be rewarded, either in less stress or more money. Remember, just like you made memories in your present home, you will have wonderful neighbours again, find interesting places to visit in the community, and even find a new favourite restaurant. Wherever you go, you will find friendly people and that new house will suddenly be home. For more information and guidance on buying and selling, please contact us and we will send you our FREE e-book or log on to: www.homes4u.es/new-kindle-e-book to request the link. Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough! See our advert in the centre pages of this newspaper. www.homes4u.es

Channel 5 - 4.15pm Jesse Stone: Death in Paradise
Transplanted L.A. cop Jesse Stone attempts to solve the murder of a teenage girl while simultaneously dealing with a deadly case of domestic violence in this mystery. Having recently settled into his position as the police chief of Paradise, Massachusetts, Stone is troubled to learn that the body of a former straight-A student has been found floating in a nearby lake. Later, as Stone delves ever deeper into the case, he finds that the girl had grown increasingly self-destructive in her last days and that her parents hadn’t even bothered to report her missing. His investigation around the quiet New England town yielding little to go on, Stone ventures into the city to search for clues and has a frightening brush with the Boston mob. With every inquiry Stone makes, he appears to be moving farther away from the truth than ever before. Though a disturbing instance of explosive domestic violence momentarily distracts the detective from the task at hand, Stone's determination quickly turns to obsession when he begins to feel as if he may finally be on track to solving the case.

BBC 2 - 1.00pm Rick Stein’s Long Weekends
Rick Stein visits Lisbon on the banks of the River Tagus, a city in love with its seafood and possibly the best custard tarts in the world. The culinary effects of Portugal’s historic explorations are still seen in its dishes with hints of cinnamon and freshly chopped coriander from the east, and tomatoes and chillies from the Americas. Rick is inspired to cook the city’s favourite snack - salt cod fritters, delicious almond tart and pork with clams, a favourite dish throughout Portugal. With seafood at the forefront of his mind, he makes sure he arrives just in time for Lisbon’s famous St Anthony’s Day parade and sardine festival.

Footie for Tasha The Fun Football Event at San Fulgencio Stadium on 27th August raised €3,442.10 for Tasha’s Mitochondria Appeal. Some of the action - and all of the music - was broadcast by Richie Sparks of BIG fm, who also conducted a live interview with Peter Nicholas. The match began with a minutes silence in respect of the recent events in Barcelona and an amazing rendition of Nessun Dorma was sung by Britain’s Got Talent entrant, Nikki G, who stunned the crowd with her beautiful singing. The match ended with the score line: Tasha’s XI 2, Police & Public Services XI which included players from the Veterans Football Team of Rojales Sports Club - 5. Tasha’s XI goal-scorers, Jimmy TarquinBolds and Mathew Steer, each spotted the opposition goal-keeper too far off his line and knocked in almost identical lobs from a good 40 yards out! Former Arsenal and Welsh International, who coached Tasha’s 33-strong Squad said, “Tasha’s boys were fantastic and it was a pleasure to coach them. They had had only one previous training session together. With more time, I could certainly fashion a formidable team from the available talent.” Team Captain, Gary Thorley added: “The match was played in a great spirit of camaraderie; the Spanish team were both friendly and enthusiastic. They are to be congratulated on their participation and their win. I think every player on the pitch enjoyed playing for Tasha!” The three day trip to Cuenca, donated by David’s Coaches S.L., together with the anonymously added €100, was won by Mr Kevin Kennedy, known to many locals for
Tasha’s Team Captain, Gary Thorley (Centre) at pre-match training day his Quiz Nights & Music Presentations. He bought his winning programme at a separate fund-raiser for Tasha, which was hosted by The Bar Stop on La Marina Urbanisation. The San Fulgencio Town Hall played a huge part in facilitating this event. In particular, La Marina Urbanisation’s Councillor Paulino Herrero’s assistance was greatly appreciated“ ... and the cooperation and assistance afforded by the groundsman, Lorenzo, was priceless!” added one of the organising team“ ... furthermore, Lorenzo’s son, Julian, actually took a stint in goal for Tasha’s side!” Mrs Ellen Scammell of M.U.N.A. has suggested that a photo album of the event be compiled and given to Tasha as a memento of the day. So, anyone with a suitable quality photographs is, therefore, asked to send
them to: tom.whitmore@outlook.es The total funds raised by the match includes €1,000 from The Hope and Christian Fellowship group of La Marina, who will present the money after their Service on Sunday 3rd September. Tasha’s dad, Andy Lynch said: “Tasha was not well enough to go, really, but she was there for around 45 minutes. That took a lot out of her, but she had insisted that I take her. She wanted to see some of the people that help her enjoying themselves. I’ll probably be in trouble with her medical team, but Tasha is a very determined young woman, thankfully. Our family are so grateful to everyone who helps Tasha.” To make a donation tohelp Tasha’s get the urgent treatment she needs visit: www.gofundme.com/w48en-tashasmitochondrial-treatment.
Rajoy tiptoes around corruption case
Speaking at a special session of Congress convened to discuss the Gürtel corruption case, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy avoided the topic altogether and instead focused on terrorism, Catalan independence and economic recovery. Reform is more effective against corruption than reproach,” said Rajoy, whose center-right Popular Party (PP) has been engulfed in a series of high-profile graft cases involving bribes for political favors. Rajoy, who was forced to take the witness stand last month at the ongoing trial over a massive bribes-for-contracts scheme known as Gürtel, was called to the lower house on Wednesday as a result of a joint congressional initiative by the Socialist Party (PSOE) and Podemos, with backing from the rest of the opposition. The prime minister has described this initiative as “a political trial” and decried the opposition’s “inquisitorial zeal” in going after him. He also challenged them to mount a censure motion against him. After noting that he has already spoken in Congress on 52 occasions about his party’s involvement in corruption cases, Rajoy reminded lawmakers that
there are currently two parliamentary committees exploring cases of political graft. His main message was that the real challenges facing Spain right now are Islamist terrorism, the secessionist process in Catalonia – where an independence referendum is scheduled to be held on October 1 – and shoring up the economy, which recently emerged from a long crisis. Despite the Spanish leader’s evasive rhetoric, opposition groups hailed the session as a sign of progress. “To have taken this meaningful initiative through to the end is good news, but it is not enough, because in order to regenerate this country, Mariano Rajoy has got to go,” said Ione Belarra, deputy spokesperson for Unidos Podemos in Congress. “In order to walk down that road, this is a positive first step.” The mood was tense inside the chamber, where Rajoy and members of the opposition exchanged bitter words. “You are a prime minister under suspicion. You have cleared nothing up today, either. My group wants to know the truth,” said Margarita Robles, the Socialist spokeswoman. “Your statement at the
Audiencia Nacional (the central criminal court seeing the Gürtel case) was embarrassing. You did not attempt to clear up the facts under trial.” “You don’t like to talk about corruption, but corruption cannot be concealed,” said Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias. “Only an incompetent person could fail to know what was going on within his party. We will keep working to throw you out of government.” Unlikely support Even Ciudadanos, the reform party that supported Rajoy’s reinstatement following two back-to-back elections that resulted in stalemates, was critical of the PP leader. “What we saw today was a political rally. Mr Rajoy did not once pronounce the word Gürtel,” said Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera. “If perhaps he did not tell the truth inside the courthouse, is he really going to tell the truth here? Mr Rajoy, you said that reform is more effective against corruption than reproach, but reform requires legitimacy and willingness. And you don’t have either.”

Calling all Stargazers
The Vega Baja Astronomy Group invites you to an observation evening on 14th September 2017. We are meeting on the Punta Prima promenade, up from the Nautilus Restaurant, just after dark ... from 9:30pm onwards. Main focus of the evening will be to let you see Saturn, the famous ringed planet through our telescopes. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the most distant that can be seen with the naked eye. Saturn is best known for its fabulous ring system that was first
observed in 1610 by the astronomer Galileo Galilei. Saturn is huge. It is the second largest planet in our Solar System. Jupiter is the only planet that is bigger. You cannot stand on Saturn. It is not like Earth. Saturn is made mostly of gases. It has a lot of helium. Its beautiful rings are not solid; they are made up of bits of ice, dust and rock. Some of these are as small as grains of sand. Some are much larger than tall buildings. Unlike Earth that only has 1 moon, Saturn has 62. They range in size from smaller than a football stadium to larger than the planet Mercury, Saturn’s ringed system makes the planet one of the most beautiful objects in the Solar System. We look forward to seeing you. Fingers crossed for a clear sky. Keep looking up! Vega Baja Astronomy Group meet at Casa Tom on Avenida Jaca, San Luis Torrevieja, second Wednesday of each month at 2.30pm. Email us at: vegabaja.astron omygroup@gmail.com.
CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change has already arrived as more flooding is being seen in Europe. Many citizens continue to link climate change to higher temperatures, but as this new research shows, its effect reach much further among them the increasing threat of natural disasters. Science magazine reports global warming has already modified the seasons of the year, with rivers bursting their banks to cause flooding in Europe, earlier in some regions and later in others. In some zones, drastic changes have already happened to local ecosystems, agriculture, and energy generation. Globally flooded rivers are the natural disasters which affect most people in the world - causing a financial loss of some 104 billion dollars a year, and with greater economic growth leading to more climate change, it’s feared future costs could be astronomic in the near future. Günter Blöschi of the Vienna Technical University led the research and compiled a list of variables - precipitation, land and air humidity, snow, and man’s influences. ‘If we only take into account the massive flooding seen in Europe, the role of climate change can be masked by other affects, generally man made - excessive building, agriculture and deforestation add to the probability of floods,’ noted a press release. His investigation was based on data analysis from 4,262 weather stations in 38 European countries over 50 years (1960-2010). The largest effects of climatic change were noted in eastern Europe, along the coast of the North Atlantic, from Portugal to England where 50 percent of the stations showed more floods in less than 15 days (over the 50 years) and of them 25 percent registered changes after 36 days.
In some areas of the Mediterranean coast, - north-west Spain and north-west of the Adriatic coast - show flooding is delayed (50 percent showing delays of more than five days). Later flooding also occurred in the North Sea, south-west Norway, Holland, Denmark and Scotland (50 percent of the station recorded delays longer than eight days). To clarify the concrete reasons for measured climatic change, the scientists centred on six places where the change in climate has been the greatest - watching the changing of the four seasons and the variables most influential - precipitations, ground humidity and snow. ‘The period of the year when flooding is first detected offers most possible cause’ said Blöschi. Delayed flooding in the Mediterranean basin is caused by warmer sea temperatures. Elsewhere, in the south of Sweden and Finland the Baltic countries where flooding is caused by melting snow accelerated during Spring, causing higher local temperatures and less influence from the masses of Arctic air. This is now happening in March, a month before the 60s and 70s when normally April. ‘This due to the earlier melting snow as consequence of global warming’ said the scientist. If this tendency continues, warned the scientists, the global environmental and economic impact from the flooding could provoke changes in the ecosystems as nature adapts to the climate during the year. Sooner or later this will lead to smaller harvests on determined crops, caused by a lack of water available for irrigating and also from the erosion of the soil for being dried out. Hydraulic energy production would fall and in extremity endangering the supply of drinking water.

July beats all tourism records July has beaten all existing tourism records in Spain. Never before have so many foreign visitors arrived in the country in a single month: 10.51 million, compared with the previous record of 10.02 million, which was set in August of last year, according to the National Statistics Institute (INE). The industry now awaits the figures for August, which is traditionally the strongest month for tourism. It remains to be seen whether the terrorist attacks in
Barcelona and Cambrils will have an effect on those numbers. The July record comes on the back of a year-on-year rise of 10.1% in tourist arrivals. Britain remains Spain’s biggest market, with 2.31 million British tourists coming here last month, representing 22 percent of all foreign visitors. France contributed 1.55 million tourists, and Germany 1.4 million. The figures also show a surge in inflows from other countries: there was a 36.5
percent year-on-year increase in tourists from Ireland, a 23.9 percent rise in Russian visitors, and 17.7 percent more tourists from Switzerland. Industry statistics also reflect changing habits. Tourists are increasingly staying away from organized packages and making their own travel arrangements. In July 2017, nearly 7.6 tourists traveled without a package, representing a yearon-year rise of 18.6 percent. After surveying thousands of
vacationers in popular destinations, the INE also found that all forms of accommodation are on the rise, but most particularly holiday apartments. The number of visitors who used “market accommodation” (meaning they paid for it) grew 8.2 percent year-on-year. This figure breaks down into a 4.1 percent rise for hotels and 23.2 percent for tourist apartments. Other types of non-paying accommodation grew 18.5 percent, representing people who stayed with
friends and relatives, at their own holiday homes or who made other arrangements. Catalonia was the main Spanish destination for tourists in July, attracting one out of four foreign visitors to reach a total of over 2.5 million, a 6.5 percent rise from July of last year. The Balearic Islands experienced a 5.3 percent increase in visitor numbers, to reach close to 2.5 million. The third most popular destination was Andalusia, with 1.4 million visitors and a year-on-year rise of 12.5 percent.
focused on the summer season, when most fiestas take place. “It’s true that a lot of outsiders show up and reinforcements are required at these times, but it’s important for cases to attract attention all year round,” she says. Experts also underscore that often, only the most serious cases such as rape or murder get viewed as sexist violence. “There are situations that are not normal, yet because of our high tolerance for abuse, we do nothing. Sexist violence includes fondling, flirtatious remarks on the street, social roles that are denigrating to women...any situation that makes a woman uncomfortable is reason enough to file a complaint,” says Braña Fuentes. In July, the singer for British band Architects, Sam Carter, stopped a concert at the Lowlands festival in Biddinghuizen, in The Netherlands, after witnessing a man grab a woman’s breasts. “I saw a girl, a woman, crowdsurfing
over here, and I’m not going to ****ing point the piece of shit out who did it, but I saw you ****ing grab at her boob, it is ****ing disgusting and there is no place for that s**t,” he yelled out. He was not the first singer to stop a show for similar reasons. The Spaniard Alejandro Sanz went even further while on a Mexican stage. In fact, he came down and faced the aggressor. His security team them expelled the man to cheers from the audience. And Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam publicly shamed an aggressor during a concert at the Wrigley Field Festival in Chicago. Enrique Echeburúa, a professor of clinical psychology at the University of the Basque Country and author of the Family Violence Handbook, celebrates these acts because they come from celebrities with millions of fans. “It is also good that they are men, because the fight of women against abuse has often been the sole job of women, and it is positive that men are joining this rejection of abusive behavior.”
Fiestas act against sexist violence Something is changing at Spain’s local fiestas. “We want women to attend without fear. It is the potential assailants who should be afraid. We don’t want them [the women] to worry about those pigs,” says Rafael Pérez, the councillor from Buñol in charge of the tomato-throwing festival known as La Tomatina, which took place recently. In order to watch over an event that attracted 22,000 people to this small Mediterranean town, local authorities trained 350 volunteers to take action in the event of a risk situation. There were an additional 12 undercover security agents patrolling the festival area. It was a sign of the times. Whether spurred by women’s groups or encouraged by local governments, organisers of fiestas across Spain are making an effort to prevent cases of sexual abuse. Alarms went off during the 2016 Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, where 15 people were arrested for
sexual assault. Of these, five suspects were held for gang raping a 19-yearold woman; the attack was videotaped. This year, Pamplona authorities introduced a raft of measures to prevent new assaults, including a city map showing the hot spots where women may feel less safe during the Sanfermines. But Pamplona was not the only city to react. This year, authorities in the northern city of San Sebastián handed out 20,000 brochures with tips on how to prevent and combat sexual assault during the Basque resort’s main summer festival, the Semana Grande. In Málaga, local police officers and Civil Protection volunteers have been trained to act against abuse, and the city recently rolled out radio awareness campaigns, street posters, a telephone hotline and an email address so that people could report cases. Bilbao, Huesca, Vitoria and Zaragoza, among other cities, have taken similar steps. Community action
Gerardo Meil, a sociology professor at Autonomous University of Madrid and author of the 2013 study Social Perceptions of Gender Violence, says that “fiestas are nothing more than an extension of normal nighttime leisure. Alcohol does not justify the acts; rather, it breaks down the inhibitions of cultural barriers.” Meil says that beyond putting out brochures “that often never get read” and staging media awareness campaigns, it is society itself that needs to react. “The assailant’s closest circle must condemn his actions. Acting macho must not be a source of pride, but rather a source of embarrassment.” Spanish society has already produced many associations and neighborhood groups that are working to prevent abuse. The Federation of Young Women has been working towards gender equality since 1986. Munia Braña Fuentes, its vice president, welcomes the recent initiatives but notes that they are too
Vitamins that are a total waste of money When it comes to supplements, more is not always better. Vitamins and minerals are essential to health, but that doesn't mean that megadoses will keep you out of the hospital or make you live longer. Some may be harmful. In most cases, it's preferable to get these nutrients from a balanced diet. High doses of certain vitamins and minerals may be appropriate for certain people, though. Talk to your doctor about supplements if you are a woman of childbearing age, are a vegetarian or vegan, have limited exposure to the sun, are an athlete in training, or suspect for any reason you may be malnourished. Here's the lowdown on eight common supplements—most of which are vitamins you probably don't need. Beta-Carotene For most healthy adults, the recommended daily allowance of beta-carotone (in the form of vitamin A) is 3,000 IU for males and 2,130 IU for females. Some of its highest food sources include carrots, spinach, kale, and cantaloupe. Some people take is as an anti-cancer antioxidant, but the supplements can actually increase risk of lung cancer in smokers (learn how to notice symptoms of lung cancer) and hasn't been shown to prevent any other form of cancer. Bottom line: Don't take it.
Folic Acid Aim to get 400 micrograms of folic acid, found in fortified bread and breakfast cereal, legumes, and asparagus, every day. Because it's been shown to reduce the risk of neural tube defects in newborns, some women take it while pregnant. But some doctors warn supplementation of food with folic acid could be fueling rising rates of colon cancer. Bottom line: Only women who are pregnant or may become pregnant are advised to take it. Selenium Aim to get 55 micrograms of selenium from natural sources, like Brazil nuts, tuna, and beef. Some people take selenium to prevent cancer, especially prostate cancer. But those good intentions could actually be working against you—one major study found that taking selenium could actually increase risk of high-grade prostate cancer in men who were already high in the mineral. Selenium could also be one of the worst supplements for diabetes. Another 2007 study found a 50% increased risk of type 2 diabetes in people who took 200 micrograms a day. Bottom line: Don't take it. Vitamin B6 Adults between 19 and 50 should aim to get 1.4 milligrams of
vitamin B6 from baked potatoes, bananas, and chickpeas daily. After age 50, men should aim for 1.5 milligrams, while females should get 1.5 milligrams. Some use it to prevent mental decline and lower levels of homocysteine (an amino acid associated with heart disease), but the studies are mixed. Two studies failed to show cognitive benefits, and while B6 does reduce homocysteine, it's not clear whether this prevents heart attacks. Bottom line: Take it only if your doctor recommends it. Instead, try these everyday habits that prevent Alzheimer's, and follow cardiologists' best heart-healthy advice. Vitamin B12 Vitamin B12-rich foods include fish and shellfish, lean beef, and fortified breakfast cereal; it's a vitamin vegetarians and vegans tend to be low in. Aim to get 2.4 micrograms from those sources every day. Vitamin B12 deficiency, which can cause anemia and dementia, is a problem for some seniors, so supplements can help. However, high doses of B12 have not been proven to prevent cognitive loss, and they don't boost energy. Bottom line: Only take it if your doctor recommends it. Ask your doctor if you've been showing signs of nutrient deficiency.

MABS needs you
Calling all singers!
MABS Cancer Support Group helps anyone affected by cancer and it urgently needs your time and support be able to continue offering that help to those who need it. MABS offer patients and their families support through the whole of their cancer journey no matter how long that may be, providing a Helpline, drivers to take them to hospital appointments, translators, carers, counselling and the Cancer Centre where they can pop in for a coffee and a chat or pick up information booklets. MABS also has a full range of equipment to loan out including, hospital beds with ripple mattress, wheelchairs, walking aids, and shower seats. MABS covers the whole of the Costa Blanca and Costa Calida divided into local branches. MABS Murcia has three branches: Mazarron, Mar Menor and Calasparra and all of them are looking for additional volunteers. We spoke to the Mar Menor branch to find out a little more about volunteering and what it means… The Mar Menor branch was started in 2007 with just six Volunteers and quickly grew to meet the needs of the community. This year the branch is celebrating its 10th Anniversary and now has just under 100 Volunteers, a Charity Shop, Cancer Centre and a dedicated van. Although 100 volunteers may sound a lot the branch needs more people to help in any way they can. The roles of volunteers vary greatly, and do not necessarily mean giving up huge amounts of time. In fact, accommodating people’s lives is one for the reason more volunteers are needed as people often travel back and forth to the UK visiting friends and family.
Do you like to sing? Alone in the shower or with friends? Are you in a choir and looking for something a little different to enjoy as a group? Or Maybe you have never sung in a group before? Whichever of these, we can help you. In just one weekend this coming October, the Spanish Association of Barbershop Singers (SABS) offer a unique opportunity to singers everywhere to learn a cappella four-part harmony. If you like to sing and have never tried this before, you will love it and if you are an old hand, there will definitely be something new to learn from fabulous champion quartet, PZAZZ, who are being flown in from the UK, especially to work and sing with us. So put 6th to 8th October in your diary and enjoy this special weekend. It’s not too late to sign up and get your teach tracks and music, just go to the website: www.sabs.es and click on the Harmony College tab for full information. Singers of all ages will be very welcome and can enjoy singing in a men’s, ladies’ and mixed chorus. You will be learning two a cappella songs during the weekend. The event will be based at the Hotel Costa Narejos in the lovely resort of Los
Those roles include working in the charity shop in San Javier and completing everyday tasks such as sorting donations, ironing clothes, keeping the shop well stocked, working behind the cash till and walking the shop floor. A shift in the shop is from 10am to 2pm. MABS does not receive any government funding and so relies entirely on donations, fundraising and the proceeds from the Shop. Fundraising volunteers work as part of a team to organise events throughout the year. These can include anything from a Coffee Morning to a Race for Life or Party in the Park. In addition, to these money-raising areas, MABS also needs help to provide a number of crucial services. This includes roles such as manning the patient’s phone in their own home on a rota basis or drivers that take patients to and from their home to Hospital appointments or driving the MABS Van collecting and delivering donated furniture. Caring is also a big role for volunteers which is simply helping patients at home with their basic needs. And finally, volunteers are also needed to work a four-hour shift on reception at the charity’s Cancer Centre. MABS Mar Menor covers the geographical area from Pilar de Horadada across to this side of Cartagena and from just south of Murcia City to La Manga in the south.
Janet Bell, Area Co-ordinator for Mar Menor said: “I don’t know where the 10 years has gone! We had just moved to Spain when I saw an advert saying that MABS was starting a branch in the Mar Menor. Initially I worked as Fundraising Co-ordinator until 2013 when I moved to my current position. Volunteering for MABS can be very rewarding and can also help forge friendships, and certainly helped me settle into life in Spain. I have great support from the volunteers, but it can be very hard work, but when we receive a Thank You card from someone we have helped saying they could not have managed without us, it makes it all worthwhile.” If you are interested in volunteering for MABS or would like to find out more please call Sylvia on 634 306 035. Cancer doesn't discriminate and neither does MABS, it helps anyone of any nationality affected by Cancer. Helpline (for any cancer-re4lated questions): 693 275 779. Charity Shop, Calle Ramon y Cajal, San Javier, open Monday to Friday 10am to 2pm or call 968 191 300.
Alcázares in Murcia. The Hotel Costa Narejos is by the beach and you can bring your family if you would like to. SABS is very keen to spread the joy of learning a cappella (singing without a backing track) throughout Spain. “We had a wonderful time at our last event which is open to everyone who likes to sing” said SABS President, Lyn Baines, “It’s a great weekend, with a chance to make new friends as you sing together. Yes it’s quite hard work but such fun too. On the closing afternoon, everyone will get a chance to perform to an invited audience of family and friends.” Lyn goes on to remind us of the relaxation time “Get to know your new friends better at the ‘Afterglows’ at the end of each day. This is a very unique time when people get together to chat and sing.” Full details of the SABS Harmony College can be found at http://www.sabs.es/cm2/musicsearch/harmony-college-2017 or email registrations@sabs.es to find out how you can become involved in this very special weekend. Places are limited and are being snapped up fast, so please make sure you register today; we don’t want you to be disappointed.
Tandem sky-jump for charity Erica, originally from England and now living in Spain, has always had the questionable desire to complete a sky dive. And finally, after some encouragement from a friend she registered and paid for the jump. Once committed she decided that as she was doing the jump anyway, she might as well make it worthwhile and raise money for the Paul Cunningham Nurses Charity at the same time. So on the 12th August at a small airfield in Castellon, Erica and her sky dive partner jumped out of a small plane, from 4,000 metres ( approx 13000 feet) - free falling for the first 60 seconds before the parachute opened. Erica was watched by her husband Alan and youngest grandson Aden who remained safely on the ground! Through the generosity of friends from the Petanca Group, the urbanisations Buena Vista 9 and 10 Rojales, the Bridge Bar Rojales, Nev, Mick and friends at
the monthly Charity Quiz held at Rialto Restaurant Benimar, family and friends in England - the amount of sponsorship raised for the charity totalled 1,250 euros. Erica would like to thank all of the people who so generously sponsored her. Last week the money raised was presented to the Charity. Two volunteers, who work for the Charity, Meeche and Valerie, accepted the cheque on behalf of the Paul Cunningham Nurses Charity at the Petanca Club Quesada. Without the encouragement of Meeche who has also completed a solo sky dive, Erica thinks she may never have realised her ambition. The Paul Cunningham Nurses Charity was created to assist terminally ill patients, free of charge and in their own home environment, administering care with dignity and compassion. The
dedicated nurses are experienced in palliative care and work alongside Doctors to effectively manage pain and symptoms. They also provide emotional support to the patient and family. The charity is a non-profit making organisation that relies on donations and its charity shops. Anyone needing their nursing services or wishing to support the charity can contact them on 966 790 363.

The 1,291 euros raised will be spent on new computer stations, to replace the very dated and unreliable ones they currently use at their caller and drop in centre in Punta Prima. The next charity night at Quesada Fish & Chips Restaurant will be on 19th September, when Richie Alexander will be helping to raise money for Elche Children's Care Home.

“Gota fría” warning Every year someone says we are having a gota fria and every year they are wrong. This is not an annual event, it is not the inclement weather we get most years as winter approaches. In fact the last true gota fria was in the late 80’s, way before most of us lived here. Unless you have experience first-hand what a Gota Fria is like you will not be prepared for what will happen. The Gota Fria is when a cold front from the Atlantic hits a prolonged period of exceptional hot summer. This happens during September until the middle of October. The last big gota fria was in 1987 when it destroyed the road system in the Vega Baja and the roads you have dates from there. Before that in 1976 it devastated buildings in and around Orihuela and
both times lives were lost. All the signs are in place for a big one with the cold front from the Atlantic is lower and already have hit most of Spain. It is the speed and
volume of water that is the danger. You can have three feet of water in an hour. It does not mater how good the
drainage system is because the volume of water causes a air lock and flooding happens. A few years ago two pensioners north of Alicante drowned in their beds on the second floor as the water rushed up the stairs and into their bedroom. Another danger is underground car parks. When water rushes in get out quickly and leave your car for the insurance. People have died trying to get their car out. The big danger is staying in your car when the water is rising quickly. At least one person a year drowns when their vehicle looses traction and is lifted into deep water. Your car does make a good boat. A free leaflet covering the problems and solutions is available from clasicos600@yahoo.co.uk

Licence stripped from holiday sickness firm A firm responsible for pressuring people into making holiday-sickness claims has had its licence stripped by the Claims Management Regulator. Intelligence gathered by the Claims Management Regulator (CMR) officers revealed that Lancashire based Allsure Ltd had encouraged holiday-goers to fabricate or embellish symptoms of gastric illness to
get compensation. Further evidence showed the firm had used deceptive sales scripts – exaggerating expected pay-outs to entice people. This conduct has led to the firm’s licence being cancelled. This means that it can no longer offer regulated claims management services to new or existing clients.
Kevin Rousell, Head of the Claims Management Regulator said: “We will take firm action against claims businesses which engage in serious misconduct. Seeking to encourage false claims will not be tolerated”. CMR, based at the Ministry of Justice, regulates companies that offer to help
people claim compensation for issues such as personal injury and mis-sold financial products. The action taken against Allsure Ltd is the latest in a series of moves by government to crackdown on fake sickness claims, following concerns from the travel industry of a surge in insurance claims for gastric illnesses like food
poisoning being brought by British holidaymakers. In July ministers stepped in to reduce cash incentives in bringing spurious claims against package holiday tour operators. Under these proposals tour operators would pay a prescribed sum depending on the value of the claim, making the cost of defending a claim predictable.

British girl missing in Albir found safe Follking a night of frantic searching , Officers from the Guardia Civil located the eight-year-old British girl in an adjoining restaurant to where her mother and sister were dining when she disappeared in El Albir. It seems the minor had fallen asleep next door without anybody seeing her, according to the Armed Institute in a statement. The mother reported her child missing at 2am in the morning, after the girl had last been seen more than an hour before. Four patrols from Altea and two Specialised Citizens Safety Units were mobilised immediately and searched all night. Two agents finally found the child at 8am in the adjoining building where she had hidden in a corner and fallen asleep without anybody noticing. In the morning when she awoke she switched on the TV of the restaurant, which was noticed by the two officers from outside the locked premises. They gained entry and found the girl in a perfect state of health.
Puppy farm mothers rescued Pets in Spain animal charity has rescued three more puppy farm mothers from an illegal puppy mill; making a total of 16 recently rescued. Made to endure a life of pregnancy and puppies the dogs were kept in cages in a filthy outdoor shed all of their lives and forcibly impregnated every six months to produce puppies to sell. Now aged 5-7 years they were to be discarded due to ill health and taken to a killing station. Pets in Spain animal charity collaborates with animal groups in Spain to free puppy farm used and abused mothers and fathers. The charity aims to take them into foster homes, provide them with all necessary veterinary treatment, care and rehabilitation. One of these mothers has tumours in a mammary gland, this occurs frequently in un-spayed female dogs, another has proved positive for Leishmaniasis. When they are well enough all three need surgery which will include their sterilisation. An appeal for donations to help the charity fund veterinary treatment for rescued puppy farm dogs
has been launched. Pets In Spain is a registered charity in Spain run entirely by volunteers. It does not receive any local or regional government funding. The charity registration CIF No is: G-54669262.

Steve via email asks: Dear Aunty. Is there any way to recover from a Windows 10 update failure which happened without warning? I was using my HP laptop wirelessly at the time when it began the update process and I could not stop the programme running but it then displayed a warning “bios update failed” and the laptop will not boot up. The only sign of life is the caps lock keeps flashing but I cannot get any screen to display and none of the F-keys respond either. Aunty Says: Hi Steve. This problem can happen with Windows updates or BIOS updates and unfortunately a failed BIOS update can result in a dead computer, but try this quick fix before we get to deep into it; unplug the laptop from the mains, remove the battery and wait 10 minutes and you may be lucky. If this fails then I’m afraid it is a pretty complicated process to “flash” a new BIOS file so let me know how you get on. Pat via email asks: I hope you are able to help me. Last evening I was downloading a film when a pop-up appeared (photo attached) which I was unable to close. I stupidly ignored it until the film had finished downloading and I now find all my docs & photos etc are blank and I have to pay a website to unencrypted my files. Is there anything I can do to restore my files, and most importantly are my bank accounts etc now exposed? Thank you for any help you are able to give. Aunty Says: Oh dear Pat this is not good. This kind of “ransom-ware” has taken viruses to a whole new
Technology
and nasty level. Your personal files and photos have been locked/encrypted so that only the unlock code will let you get them back, and you will need to pay these robbers stupid money to get the code. If you have a backup then DO NOT try a restore as the virus will almost certainly encrypt the backup copy. This kind of infection doesn’t normally target your Internet banking etc but you don’t know what other infections you may have picked up. I strongly recommend a full scan with your antivirus program and Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware. I will investigate if any of the antivirus companies have developed a cure. Dennis via email asks: Hi Aunty. I‘m getting my wife a new Acer laptop and I want to transfer all of personal stuff from my old computer before I donate it to a neighbour’s son. How do I do this so that on my old computer, no one can access my photos and documents etc, or access internet information like emails and web surfing?
59
Aunty Says: Hi Dennis. Transferring your photos & docs from one computer to the other is pretty easy but it will depend on how well organised your files and folders are, and how much stuff you have. You can buy a 32GB USB flash memory stick for under €10 and use this to copy/paste everything from one machine to the other. On your old computer, right click on a folder and from the menu that pops up choose ‘copy’ and then right click on the USB stick and choose ‘paste’. The USB stick should appear after plugging it in as a new drive in My Computer or File Manager. Once you have double checked that you have everything from your old computer you should really physically destroy the hard disk in the old one as it isn’t difficult to retrieve data even after the computer has been wiped. Give Phil at eNET Computers a call on 687362844 and get some advice on the best way forward. Any questions please email me at auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com.

Your week in Sport ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com
There are many ways you can get hurt playing cricket, as I am sure you can imagine. A nasty hard ball being
taken off the field of play at the Oval last week as a crossbow arrow was fired from outside the ground, over the stand and landed in the turf. Fortunately nobody was hurt, the nearest fielder was ten metres away. The game was abandoned, probably I would imagine for the first time ever in that manner.
Slightly less scary was the sight of Samit Patel lead Nottinghamshire to the T20 Blast trophy, beating Birmingham on Finals Day. I say slightly less, if you saw Samit Patel coming towards you at pace you’d probably move quite quickly yourself.
ABBEY ANGLING We fished the last of the Open Series this week which was a Walk-Off Match, and held at the El Bosquet Complex on
We are now a week into the US Open and, as expected, there are no British players left in the draw. Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer are very much still on track for a semi-final hoe down. Lewis Hamilton had yet another good weekend in the world of Formula One. This week he broke Michael Schumacher’s record of pole positions and then went on to win the Italian Grand Prix. This victory puts him ahead in the Driver’s Championship, and the run in actually looks quite interesting. I know, me suggesting F1 might be interesting. It’s been a quiet week.
directed in your general direction when all you have to protect yourself is a lump of wood (and in this day and age a helmet, gloves, pads, thigh guard, inner thigh guard, arm guard, chest guard and, of course, a box). The very same nasty hard ball getting smashed by the lump of wood towards your hands isn’t much fun either. However, all that is accepted as part of the game. What isn’t generally accepted is getting hit by a crossbow arrow. Eh? That got your attention. Surrey and Middlesex were

Tales from the top flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com
That big noise you heard on Thursday night was the sound of the summer transfer window slamming shut. Actually, my transfer window shut at about 2130 on Thursday night as it was starting to drag, so as far as I am concerned anything announced after that doesn’t exist. So there. Yes, that includes you Chelsea. Let’s try and get some kind of organisation and structure into all this, something Arsenal failed to do all day. Boom. We had Sky Sports announcing in a very excited voice that there “was only ten/nine/eight/seven/SIX hours left of the transfer window”. We had Sky Sports being massively surprised that Jonny Evans appeared off the very same plane he got on not 2 and a half hours previously. We had people getting very excited about Southampton’s Virgil van Dijk LEAVING THE TRAINING GROUND IN A CAR after training finished, most probably heading off for a KFC. We had Guillem Balague telling us that Manchester City had offered £55 + £5 for Alexis Sanchez, leading me to fax over my own offer of £70 as I could probably delay my electric bill a few days if needs be. We had Dominic Cork (yes, the cricketer) bringing us the latest news from Stoke City. Sadly, Devon Malcolm
wasn’t at West Bromwich Albion and Paul Merson isn’t going to be talking me through Joe Root’s decision to bat first at Lords next week. We had someone asking someone else “how good a replacement Danny Drinkwater could be for Nemanja Matic” without a single hint of irony. We had whoever it was at West Bromwich Albion treating the announcement of the kid from Chelsea as his big moment. It wasn’t mate, it really wasn’t. We learned that Antonio Conte isn’t completely against people with the name Costa, as he was in for Torino’s Davide Zappacosta – a right sided wing back defender type. We had Sky Sports talking about Wilfried Bony’s move from Manchester City to Swansea City for £12m, whilst showing a video clip of him failing to control a ball on his thigh and then being unable to flick it back up TWICE. We had numerous clips of ‘Arry Redknapp driving his car. Hang on, I thought Bondy did the driving? This must be the only day off he gets a year. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s move from Arsenal to Liverpool for £40m or whatever was a novel way for Liverpool to get money to Southampton. The Saints inserted a sell-on fee when the Ox signed for Wenger all those years ago. Arsene also decided not to loan Lucas Perez to Everton as he considered them a top-six rival. Top six rival, Arsene? Did you watch the game on Sunday? You’ll do well to get top half mate, seriously. But Arsenal were just getting
warmed up, trust me. We’ll come back to them in a bit. One of the major talking points of the day was that nobody actually knew where Riyad Mahrez was. We all knew he’d been given permission to leave the Algerian camp to “sort something out” but nobody could trace him. Now really? In a day and age where the CIA can track Father Christmas and tell us exactly where he is on Christmas Eve that nobody knew where Riyad Mahrez was? At one point he was spotted at Barcelona. Next Chelsea were having a big bid accepted for him. Then he was being offered to Manchester United. Who were we supposed to believe? Diafra Sakho had the right idea. He had nipped off to France on Wednesday for a sneaky medical with Rennes, simply forgetting to let West Ham know. He was back in England yesterday, hoping to get together with the West Ham owners to explain he’d like to leave. But everything hit a couple of small snags. Firstly, his agent had a horse running in the 3.20 at Cheltenham and that was way more important that Diafra getting a move away from the London Stadium. But then, secondly, one-half of the Hammers comedy double act was on holiday in Spain! Yes, David Sullivan (he who loves doing all the transfer business) was on a family holiday on DEADLINE DAY. I mean, honestly? The horse won though, so it wasn’t all bad. Dwight Gayle was told the other day he was free to go and Fulham were very keen to do business. However, as they could not find a replacement Newcastle United changed their mind, meaning
Dwight Gayle will remain a very much unwanted Newcastle player. Superb. To be fair to Rafa, he was told to move players out before they could move players in and he did his bit in shedding four or five. His mistake was believing anything the Newcastle United board told him. ‘Arry Redknapp loves a deadline day as we all know, the only issue is that he is a bit old and confused now, clearly thinking it was deadline day 2010 as he moved to bring in Jack Wilshere and Alex Song. Poor Frank de Boer started the day unable to catch a break at the moment. Andros Townsend decided to stay, which doesn’t help Palace or Townsend’s agent. Mamadou Sakho didn’t look like happening either, which led to Palace showing an interest in West Ham’s James Collins – which shows you exactly what rubbish you have to class as Plan B on #DeadlineDay. Luckily for Palace, Liverpool softened their stance and accepted the £26m bid. Staying with Crystal Palace, Simon Jordan was given about 179 minutes too many on Sky Sports News in the afternoon. Jordan managed to coin the phrase “back in flavour” when talking about Tottenham’s new striker Fernando Llorente, talked about some crazy new technical gizmo’s like PDF’s, called some people buffoons and talked about Frank de Boer needing more players to “incorporate his new cultural ideals” which in less posh speak means “getting the lads to pass to people in the same colour shirts as them”. Nice one Simon, just another British idiot living in Spain,
right? Swansea City did manage to sign the far too talented for them Renato Sanches on loan from Bayern Munich. Sanches was due to wear the number 85 shirt, but this idea was rejected by the Premier League who claimed that most Swansea City fans couldn’t count higher than 35 so that was the number Sanches must wear. The Spice Girls were believed to be delighted at the news of Watford signing Sporting CP’s Marvin Zeegelaar. I’ll wait for you, go on. There we go. A bit of 90’s for you there. Anyway, Zeegelar deadpanned the answer to the question “why Watford?” “Well, they showed interest”. Superb. And back to Arsenal. Good old Arsenal. Back in July they turned down £10m for Kieran Gibbs and felt £52m for Thomas Lemar was too much. August 31st and Kieran Gibbs has gone for £7m and Monaco received, allegedly, a bid of £92m from the Emirates fax machine. Cunning Arsene, cunning. The only problem was, the bid was accepted prompting instant panic in the Arsenal boardroom at the thought of actually having to spend that kind of money, and the offer was swiftly withdrawn. After all, it was only a PR move wasn’t it? Either that, or Lemar looked at Arsenal and, once he had stopped laughing, politely declined their offer as he only wanted to move to Liverpool. Never fear though, as the next name out of the hat was Paris Saint-Germain’s Adrien Rabiot. Sadly, Rabiot was not actually pulled out of the real transfer hat.

Twenty-four members and guests from Alfie's GS travelled to Roda GC for our August meeting. With the recent thunderstorms in the area over the last couple of days it looked like we could have been in in danger of being affected by the weather but thankfully it never materialized and remained generally calm if cloudy. Unfortunately as the ground was soft we were not able to take buggies on the fairways so it made it a long day of being restricted to cart paths. On the upside the greens were extremely receptive and made hitting into them straightforward. Putting on them was a little slow which is understandable given the amount of rain that fell but on the whole the course was in very good condition which is always expected at Roda. Our winner of the day was Gordon Cowan Playing off a handicap of 18 with 41 stableford points Second on countback went to Nigel Glasson playing off a handicap of 16 with 35 stableford points. Best Guest went to Steve Mason with 37 stableford points Nearest the pin on the 7th – Sponsored by ‘The Street Restaurant’ went to Gordon Cowan

The Med Bar Golf Society Off we went early on Tuesday morning with the sky as black as could be; driving along the motorway the heavens opened and down came the heavy rain that was forecast, sitting in the car, some of us thought what are we doing!. As we got to the course the rain stopped and the sun came out. We set out for the round on time wondering how far we would get before we were called off. Surprisingly, we only had 2 heavy bursts of rain and all completed the 18 holes.

Lewis Hamilton leaves Sebastian Vettel chastened Hamilton takes lead of world championship with Italian GP victory; Mercedes driver finished 36 seconds clear of title rival Vettel. Lewis Hamilton thrived in the role of 'pantomime villain' at the Italian GP and has taken command of his title battle with Sebastian Vettel, according to Monday's national newspapers. The Mercedes driver's victory at Monza ensured he turned a seven-point deficit to Vettel into a three-point advantage as he moved top of the Drivers' Championship for the first time since September 2016. Having set a new record with his 69th pole on Saturday, Hamilton then finished a mammoth 36 seconds ahead of his Ferrari rival in third and became the first driver to claim back-to-back wins in 2017. "For Lewis Hamilton, this felt like the moment that everything changed," Oliver Brown wrote in the Daily Telegraph. "Here at Monza, the temple of speed that represents consecrated ground for the teeming swarms of Ferrari tifosi, he achieved a victory so crushing that it
turned this season's world championship fight on its head. "In arrears to Sebastian Vettel all year, he vanquished his arch-rival by over 36 seconds to surge three points clear. As plumes of lurid red smoke engulfed the back straight, he offered the broad smile of a man quite happy, for once, to play the pantomime villain. From a rain-lashed qualifying to a race staged in the seductive glow of late summer in Lombardy, Hamilton stood supreme all weekend, irrespective of conditions. Having enjoyed three weeks of down-time in Cuba and Barbados, he has returned to the Formula 1 grindstone revitalised, determined to give no quarter. "His stated mission to turn Vettel's smile upside down has worked. The German, for all the love that washes over Ferrari's No 1 driver at the Italian Grand Prix, appeared chastened by the scale of his eclipse in third." The Guardian's Giles Richards also noted Hamilton's enjoyment at spoiling Ferrari's party at their home race. "The Mercedes driver was booed by a
fiercely partisan crowd, desperate to see a Ferrari win at the Scuderia's 70th anniversary race, as he revelled in a dominant victory," he said. "Hamilton's evident pleasure was understandable. His win, a run from pole to flag during which he barely put a wheel out of place, leaves him in front of his title rival, Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, with seven races remaining. "The season has ebbed and flowed between the two drivers and this is the first time one of them has taken back-toback wins, after Hamilton's victory at the previous round in Spa. The Briton, though, was taking nothing for granted." Hamilton suffered one of the most disappointing title defeats of his career last season as then-Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg claimed the championship by five points. But the Press Association's Phil Duncan opined that the Briton is favourite to become a four-time world champion when in this form. "Hamilton has won three of the last four grands prix - a run which started at
July's British Grand Prix - to move to the summit of the championship for the first time since this stage one year ago," he wrote. "Hamilton lost his battle to Nico
Rosberg last term, but on current form and with seven rounds remaining, it would now take a brave person to bet against the British driver marching to a fourth title."
La Liga wants UEFA to investigate Man City's spending La Liga has asked UEFA to investigate Manchester City’s spending, claiming their financial power "distorts European competitions" and "is irreparably harming the football industry". La Liga is not only asking for a probe into City's spending, it also wants UEFA to expand its newly-launched investigation into whether Paris SaintGermain have breached Financial Fair Play rules.
The Spanish league president Javier Tebas said in a statement to The Associated Press that Abu Dhabi-funded City and Qatari-owned PSG are benefitting from state aid which he says "distorts European competitions" and "is irreparably harming the football industry". La Liga has asked UEFA to investigate Manchester City’s spending, claiming their financial power "distorts European
competitions" and "is irreparably harming the football industry". La Liga is not only asking for a probe into City's spending, it also wants UEFA to expand its newly-launched investigation into whether Paris SaintGermain have breached Financial Fair Play rules. The Spanish league president Javier Tebas said in a statement to The Associated Press that Abu Dhabi-funded
City and Qatari-owned PSG are benefitting from state aid which he says "distorts European competitions" and "is irreparably harming the football industry". UEFA said on Friday it will investigate whether PSG was flouting rules designed to control excessive spending by Europe's top clubs. Both City and PSG spent millions of pounds in the summer transfer window.
City spent £50m on Tottenham right-back Kyle Walker and £42.9m on left-back Benjamin Mendy from Monaco. PSG broke the world transfer record when they signed Neymar from Barcelona for £200m. Sky Sports News understands the Brazil forward, who signed a five-year contract, has been offered a basic salary of £26.8ma-year (30m euros) after tax, around £515,000-a-week.
combination of organisational excellence and individual brilliance. Schalk Brits was only on the field for 48
season. Indeed it would not surprise me to see them finish below London Irish. I was a fan of Nick Kennedy as a player and I have long held a hunch he'll do even better as a coach/manager. His team were sharp against Harlequins. Troublesome at the line out, which is no shock given Kennedy's career, but perhaps none of us expected them to find a four-try bonus point win. They have high calibre overseas players to bolster the squad and in Alex Lewington possess a young winger who'll make a name for himself this campaign. I really rated the game management of Brendan McKibben in the final quarter. It was an afternoon of interest and excellence for the Twickenham crowd. 4. What about the law changes? In the
weekend. Quicker scrums and hookers raising their legs to strike. It looks a decent change to the law. 5. The breakdown law was pretty well policed and pretty well played. James Davies never once played the ball from the 'opposing' gate. The players got themselves back on the 'right' side of the tackle and without hacking through there was also plenty of aggressive rucking. Gloucester decided to leave men out while Saracens and Irish were willing to attack the breakdown in a positive manner. Gloucester will need to adapt. 6. The two South African entrants to the PRO14 both struggled at the breakdown over the weekend. The lesser Super Rugby teams simply do not put the numbers into the tackle area. The Kings in particular suffered at the hands and breakdown brain of James Davies. Both of them will have to adapt quickly to the Northern Hemisphere norms. Both, on a happier note, showed plenty in attack. Strong carrying backrows and lethally quick back-three players guarantee more difficult times for the regular 12 when they travel to South Africa. Two heavy defeats, yes, but give them time before judgement is mad, both teams have the raw talent to turn appalling opening results around.
Talking rugby Taking a look at the opening weekends of the PRO14 and Aviva Premiership, the new rugby laws and making predictions for the season ahead…. There was some superb rugby, some entertaining matches - some of it admittedly scruffy - with a couple of shocks thrown into the bargain. Not a bad way for the British and Irish domestic game to kick start their season, one week behind their French counterparts. In the first weekend of Top 14 rugby, the French champions, Clermont Auvergne, were beaten. That was also to be the case in the Aviva Premiership on Saturday but most definitely not the PRO14, but the Scarlets are PRO12 champions. Let's look at the events in West Wales first. 1.Overconfident and over playing their hand, the home side tried to force the issue against newcomers the Southern Kings in an entertaining but far from perfect first half. Less lateral in the second period, they sucked the South African opposition into more tackles and found space away from the contact. James Davies was

outstanding but even he was shaded by Johnny McNicholl for man of the match. The former Crusader carried over 200 metres, scored two tries and assisted with another. But forget the statistics. So often they are deceptive. Full-backs and wings amass the metres with easy counters from loose kicks. On Saturday the New Zealander beat defender after defender. They were well-earned metres, while his first try probably registered no more than two metres maximum but was a brilliant finish. It was a second half to make Scarlets fans excited about the season ahead. 2. The English season started with Gloucester beating reigning champions Exeter. I'll be honest with you, when I was writing the introduction to this column I initially stated that both the PRO14 and Aviva Premiership campaigns began with wins for the champions. Old habits die hard and after watching Saracens' Twickenham opener on Sunday morning, I completely forgot that Mark McCall's side were not the defending champions. They were that good in the first half. Countless tries forged by the

minutes but what a 48 minutes they were. He's 36 years of age but the speed, the step, the off load and the smile are better than ever. How is the British and Irish Lions hooker ever going to get the first choice Saracens jersey? 3. Northampton are one of the more consistent teams in England; they are getting a little worse season after season. One hammering doesn't make an endless winter but don't be surprised if they struggle to make the top half this

The 27-year-old returned to action in May following a knife attack at her home last December. She required extensive surgery on her left hand and confirmed only last week that it still did not feel completely back to normal. However, the evidence of Monday night is that Kvitova is once again capable of the irresistible attacking tennis which brought her Wimbledon titles in 2011 and 2014. "Sometimes I just really feel that the touch is there - the strength, the aggressive kind of game plan," said Kvitova. "It's there, which I really, really appreciate. It took me a while to find it. Luckily I found it in a Grand Slam, which is nice." She goes on to face Venus Williams in the last eight on Tuesday. "It will be a great match for me Petra Kvitova to step on Arthur Ashe Stadium again - probably - and play there," said needs to reach the semi-finals to stay in Kvitova. contention.

"We'll see - I'll keep an eye now on the scores," said Muguruza. Muguruza, 23, was widely viewed as the title favourite and next number one in waiting, until she ran into the blistering shot-making of Kvitova. Both women finished with 18 more errors than winners, but Kvitova's attacking intent was rewarded with 24 winners to seven. Muguruza eased into an early 4-1 lead and had three break points for 5-1, but Kvitova held firm and clenched her fist after a forehand winner kept her in touch. Kvitova would get the chance to serve for the set six games later but played a poor game, and fell 2-0 behind in the tie-break. From that moment on, the Czech was in command, moving 5-3 clear after Muguruza steered a volley long and converting her first set point with a smash. An early break for the Spaniard in the second set was quickly handed back, and Muguruza's forehand would begin to falter she ended with 16 errors on that side. Four straight games put Kvitova on the brink of victory and she got across the line in dramatic circumstances, saving three break points before Muguruza finally succumbed. "Even though I was winning 41, I think she was playing great," said Muguruza. "I felt like she was superior today. You know, great for her. She played very good."
Golf champion donates prize money Stacy Lewis donated her ÂŁ150,000 prize money to the flood victims in Houston after winning the Portland Classic. The American began the final day with a three-shot lead but won by one shot from South Korea's Chun In-gee. Lewis carded a 69 in her last
round in Oregon to finish on 20under, while In-gee shot a 66. "We're going to be able to help people rebuild houses and get their homes back. That's more important than any win," said Lewis. The victory was her first LPGA Tour title since 2014.
She had pledged to donate her winnings to the relief effort following Storm Harvey in Houston, where she and her husband have a house, prior to the tournament. Lewis was also told one of her sponsors would match her donation.
Porteous wins Czech Masters by two shots from Slattery South African Haydn Porteous secured his second European Tour title with a two-stroke victory in the Czech Masters at the Albatross Golf Resort in Prague. The 23-year-old world number 389 began the final day two behind Lee Slattery but a threeunder 69 took him 13 under. Slattery, 39, who won the last of his two European Tour events in 2015, returned a 73 to finish in second spot. Former world number one Lee Westwood, now ranked 59th, returned a 68 and shared ninth place, six strokes back. Slattery's overnight lead was quickly eroded as Porteous
birdied the first two holes, but the South African bogeyed two holes in succession from the 10th, allowing the Englishman to regain the lead with his second birdie of the day on the 13th. However, Porteous immediately hit back to birdie the next and sent his tee shot to within two feet of the pin for another on the dangerous par three 16th. Slattery had dropped a shot on the 15th after finding a bunker off the tee, but also birdied the 16th to keep up the pressure before making a bogey on the last when his approach drifted left of the green. Porteous won the Joburg
Open in January 2016, but a missed cut in last year's Czech Masters was the first of 14 early exits in 16 events and he admitted: "It's been a really torrid time. "When you start playing on the European Tour you start to lose yourself, you lose how you got out here in the first place. To then find yourself again is key and I can't thank my sponsors enough for helping me through thick and thin. "I'm sure this evening's not going to be the most professional moment of my life, but there's nothing wrong with having a bit of a celebration!"
