DROUGHT threatened water supplies are to be safeguarded by finally making full use of the Javea desalinisation plant.

Five Marina Alta municipalities will join forces to assure their water supply, regardless of politics.

Teulada recently met in Teulada for a Marina Alta ‘water summit.’

exploited as the drought continues.

The plant can produce 28,000 cubic metres of water a day, pointed out Josep Lluis Henarejos, chief executive officer of Amjasa, Javea’s municipal water board.

Technicians will meet to study connecting the five towns, he disclosed. Teulada and Benitachell, already linked to Javea, would buy up to 3,000 cubic metres of treated water a day. Taking the water to Calpe and Benissa promises to be more complicated as this will require a pipeline.

Teulada’s mayor Antoni Joan Bertomeu declared that it was technically possible for the towns to share their water.

Javea’s mayor Jose Chulvi agreed.

“But we have not only discussed oneoff solutions for the current period of drought,” he added.

“The desalinisation plant will also help to optimise resources and keep the springs flowing.”

JUST over 93 per cent of Benidorm tourists intend to return and will also recommend its beaches.

Ninety-two per cent approved of the cleanliness of the sands and seawater.

The beaches’ lifesaving, rescue and beach-watch services were highly valued, together with play and leisure areas.

A further 96 per cent were favourably impressed by Benidorm’s accessible beach installations which are equipped with amphibious wheelchairs and free Wi-Fi. Cleanliness, sun and the atmosphere at the beaches were the biggest attractions for all those who answered the resort’s annual Beach Management survey.

Fish farm sunk by report PLANS for a fish farm in Calpe bay were scuppered by the Generalitat’s first environmental impact assessment.

The farm sited 1.8 kilometres from the shore would have covered an area of 475,000 square metres.

It was opposed at the outset by Calpe Town Hall, the resort’s tourist sector, its fishing industry and the local yacht club.

Massive production of gilt-head bream, seabass and croaker would pose a threat to the resort’s tourist industry by adversely affecting the quality of its waters and beaches, the town hall said.

The report from the regional government’s Environment department’s noted that the Niordseas company minimised the effect of sediment and fish

faeces on the seabed.

The company had also omitted information of the fish farm’s impact on native fish populations, the department said.

Lastly, the installation would impair the view of the bay, especially from the Morro de Toix, and at no point had Niordseas sought the opinions of local residents, the report concluded.

Sports donation BENITACHELL is building a squash court and improving the existing paddle tennis court at the La Font sports area. Development company VAPF contributed €35,000 to the project.

ON June 28 many city centres throughout Spain, and indeed the world, will be festooned with rainbow flags and outrageous floats - it’s gay pride day again!

Officially called International Day of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) Pride, it is traditional for collectives to publicly celebrate their sexuality on this day.

Originally it was the day for LGBT people to promote self-affirmation and encourage the public to take a positive stance against discrimination and violence; a day for the collectives to promote dignity, equal rights and increase their visibility as a social group which celebrates its sexual diversity and gender variance.

The basic notion behind the idea is that nobody

should have to be embarrassed about who they are - regardless of sexual orientation - this is why they originally chose the word ‘pride’ and not just acceptance.

Although June 28 still has this aim, these days it is also an excuse for a massive street party in some cities.

Gay pride celebrations generally consist of outrageous costumes and floats being paraded around the city centre; always with the rainbow flag and pink triangles which are the principal symbols of the movement.

Whooping cough family RELATIVES of a baby who died of whooping cough are still waiting for medication.

Four-weeks-old Aitor was taken to San Juan hospital when he had trouble breathing but died four days later.

His parents and brothers were vaccinated and prescribed antibiotics but other relatives who had been in close contact with the baby later complained that they were still waiting for preventative treatment.

Doctors told them that the hospital had run out of vaccine, they maintained. “I don’t want to be the cause of an epidemic,” one said to the provincial press.

The hospital rejected the claims: “All staff and family members in contact with the baby have received the necessary antibiotics to prevent contagion,” a spokesman said.

SHELTER: Volunteers and their charges with La Nucia mayor Bernabe Cano (3rd left).

Adopt a dog - don’t buy THE 170 rescue dogs in La Nucia’s municipal animal shelter are looking for a home. Belen Nuñez, president of La Nucia’s Animal Protection association which runs the shelter, urged animal lovers to adopt rather than buy a dog.

“Thousands of dogs all over Spain are looking for new owners,” Nuñez said.

Anyone wanting to adopt a puppy can go along to the La Nucia shelter on the Alberca industrial state. There is a €150 fee which includes inoculations, anti-rabies injection, a veterinary check up, pet passport, worming and sterilisation.

The La Nucia shelter, which opened in 2006, is run by volunteers.

WHEN the Aitana air force base closed in 2007, nearby Alcolecha hoped to use it for social purposes.

The Ministry of Defence in Madrid has ignored all requests from the inland mountain village (registered population 204) for permission to use the base.

It is practically in ruins and anything of value has since been stripped from the site. Alolecha Council has now approached the Alicante Diputacion’s legal department for advice on how to persuade the ministry to maintain the base.

“They must either look after it or pull it down,” said mayor Francisco Fenollar.

The legacy of Iraila lives on SHE was just 11-yearsold when she lost her battle with cancer.

Valencia-born Iraila LaTorre had been diagnosed with the terrible disease at age seven, but that did not deter her from pursuing her dreams.

She wanted to become a professional singer and was a contestant on ‘La Voz Kids,’ one of Spain’s most popular singing contests broadcast on national television.

Born on July 1, 2012, Iraila arrived from Valencia to participate in the talent show and the country fell in love with her touching performance.

The show was recorded in July 2013, when she was still well enough to compete.

She sang ‘Diamonds’

by Barbados-born singer Rihanna and broke down in tears when all three judges chose her to be on the show. She made it all the way to the knockout rounds.

But she unfortunately passed away on March 10.

Following her death, Telecinco was unsure whether to broadcast any more ‘La Voz Kids’ shows with Iraila and left the controversial decision up to her parents. They finally agreed.

Now, 100 days after her death, Iraila’s family and friends have created a non-governmental organisation to fight against childhood cancer.

“Iraila, initiatives to finance research on childhood cancer,” a name especially chosen to commemorate the life of the young singer, will organise cultural activities, including music, dance, theatre, movies, magic and clown shows to raise funds and finance research projects seeking to find a cure to

the disease and improving the life of young patients.

The first donations will enter a raffle for two VIP tickets to the One

Direction concert in Madrid on July 10 at Vicente Calderon Stadium.

It is estimated that close to 1,574 children

were diagnosed with cancer in the UK between 2009 and 2011 and that 252 of them died from the disease in the same period.

Childhood cancer cases can be grouped into different types, including leukaemia, lymphomas, bone sarcomas and liver tumours.

Scientists believe some children simply inherit DNA mutations from their parents which considerable increases their risk of developing the disease.

La Nucia goes all medieval LA NUCIA is hosting its 10th Medieval Market next weekend.

The town held its first Medieval Market in 2005 to celebrate its 300 years of existence, and enjoyed it so much they have hosted the event every year since.

The weekend will see a varied programme with troubadours, a juggler on stilts who also plays with fire, lies on a bed of really sharp nails and manages to get both feet tucked behind her head; a story teller, street theatre, medieval table games and a merry-go-round for the children.

That all takes place next to and in between some 70 craft stalls, carefully selected by Amata, the organising craft association, to ensure that nothing is imported or made in factories; everything is made by the people on the stall.

The cost of higher education in Spain UNIVERSITY tuition fees often place a heavy burden on young students and their families.

After finishing high school, most students wish to pursue an undergraduate degree and with good reason.

A university diploma dramatically increases job prospects.

Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to pursue higher education. In countries like the US, students often take out government loans and work out special repayment plans at low interest rates or apply for a scholarship.

But how expensive are Spanish universities?

As stated by the Observatory on Higher Education (OSU) in its latest report entitled ‘The Cost of Studying in Europe,’ undergraduate studies in Spain rank sixth among Europe’s most expensive post-secondary courses.

Public universities in Catalonia charge the highest tuition fees and master’s degrees in Barcelona are three times more expensive than in 21 out of the 38 countries the report looked at. Only

Ireland, Northern Ireland and Wales charge more than Catalonia.

The report underlines that most European countries charge similar fees for undergraduate and graduate degrees. In Spain, however, master’s degrees are more expensive than bachelor’s degrees.

Vera Sacristan, coordinator of the report, said the Spanish Government does not usually offer financial aid to undergraduate or graduate students, and when it does, the funds are lower than in other countries.

For instance, 71 per cent of the nations considered in the report guarantee students loans at low interest rates or without interest. However, students in Spain, Austria, Slovenia, Italy and Ireland cannot take out a similar loan.

Sacristan said that “Spain must be consistent with its stance on higher education. If we think that university students can benefit the country, despite their economic situation, then we must charge less in tuition fees.”

Scrap metal for the price of copper, crime gang dismantled NATIONAL POLICE have dismantled a crime gang which was selling scrap metals at the price of copper and making millions in the process.

The gang would make cubes of the low quality scrap metal and then put a fine layer of copper over the top of it making it look like solid copper.

For a year and a half they sold between 80 and 120 tonnes every week and made profits of between €192,000 and €320,000.

Three workers at a metals plant were working with the gang to accept the cubes and confirm their ‘quality.’

Fifteen people have been detained in Huelva and Barcelona, among them the leader of the gang.

Investigations began when

a series of financial transactions came to the attention of the police; a scrap metal group was frequently moving sums of up to €120,000.

Initial enquiries revealed that the money was being moved by a family, whose business was scrap metal, and some of the workers at the family’s businesses.

There were no tax records of the transactions and, as such, police suspected tax evasion, money laundering, belonging to a criminal group, falsification of documents, swindling and illegal possession of firearms.

The MO of the gang was: in their factory the gang would make 60x60x60 cubes which they would fill with the scrap metal and then cover with copper.

FALSE COPPER: Cubes were made of low quality scrap metal.

The cubes would then go to a foundry in Huelva where the gang had three workers who would then confirm the cubes as good quality and have them passed through the system.

In this way the gang was pocketing up to €320,000 every month.

When the police raided the gang’s warehouse and factory they found cash hidden in fire extinguishers which confirmed that illegal business was going on.

The raids produced two revolvers, more than 100 bullets, two knives, two money-counting machines, four computers, fire extinguishers, 11 number plates and false paperwork.

Police hunt for child abductor A KIDNAPPER is on the most wanted list of the Ciudad Lineal police department after two young children were abducted in separate incidents.

Law enforcement officials have launched a manhunt to locate the whereabouts of the criminal following the two kidnappings that have shocked Madrid.

The kidnapper first struck in April, when he tricked a nine-year-old girl into getting into his car. He drove her away, held her for five hours and later abandoned her near a subway station.

She was reportedly in good health, but still underwent a thorough medical examination to determine whether she had been abused.

Now it seems he has done it again.

The victim, six, was kidnapped near Ascao, when she was playing near a store her parents own.

More than four hours later, a passer-by found her crying in a state of shock on Jazmin street, seven kilometres from where she was taken. It was 11.30pm.

The girl could barely speak and the woman alerted the police. The six-year old was taken to the La Paz hospital where doctors examined her.

She was kidnapped at around 7pm.

She was playing on the street with her older brother, 11. The kidnapper purportedly tricked the little girl into following him and used a ruse to gain her trust. A witness said: “Two men were watching her play. One of them was grey-haired and looked 40 or 50, the other man was blonde and younger. The older man gave the girl some rubber bands like the ones used to make bracelets, while the younger man talked to her brother to distract him.” Then she was gone.

The father realised she was nowhere to be found and alerted his wife and police. It appears the kidnapper used a similar modus operandi: he tricked the girls into getting into his car, sedated them with pills, kept them in a flat for some hours, gave them a bath and abandoned them near a subway station.

Disastrous times…

I

T has been a disastrous time for lovers of football in England and Spain.

Both teams from those soccer crazy nations have had to beat a gloomy retreat after being knocked out early.

So all the hopes and dreams of some of the best and most loyal fans in the world have been broken all too soon. It is a tremendous disappointment for many with all the excitement that comes with the knockout stages destined for other teams.

For the Spanish it is the end of an era after eight years of dazzling success.

Two European Championships and a World Cup is not a bad haul for largely the same group of players. But father time has caught

up with them and root and branch rebuilding is now needed.

For England the long wait for glory goes on. But they are already further along the rebuilding road than Spain with some exciting young talent blooded in this tournament.

Whatever the future holds one thing is for sure - football is one thing that England and Spain have in common. It is a shame that the opportunity for fans from both those countries to watch each other’s teams and share some banter over a beer and tapa has gone.

But on the up side for football lovers, the teams left have been playing some beautiful stuff. It bodes well for one of the best tournaments in recent years.

this had risen to 1.9 million.

The 40,700 hoping to find work for the first time in the first quarter of the year was three times greater than in 2007. The majority - 35,300 - were women, principally housewives pushed by the need to augment the family income during the economic crisis.

Botin sticks up for Bank of Spain EMILIO BOTIN, president of Santander Bank, defended Bank of Spain’s role during the crisis.

Earlier, the outgoing president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Durao Barroso, had heaped responsibility for Spain’s problems on the Bank of Spain.

“Whenever the European Commission asked the Spanish authorities how were the banks and how were the savings banks they always said that everything was perfect,” Durao Barroso complained.

“I don’t agree with the president’s declarations,” Botin replied.

The supervisor had tried to anticipate the crisis with innovative measures, he insisted.

These included the anticyclic provisions required of Spanish banks during the bonanza years, that were designed to help them survive in leaner times.

It was less a problem of supervision than the deficient models of corporative and administrative control used by many of the former savings banks.

Despite that, it cost less to cure the health of Spain’s savings banks than those of Ireland, Greece, the Netherlands, Portugal or the UK, Botin claimed.

“It’s always difficult to find employment at this age,” said an Adecco expert, “but trying to find work for the first time is even more dispiriting.”

“These jobseekers know they face an uphill battle,” he added, “and most believed it would take at least two years to find a job and age was a drawback.”

Stating the obvious FINANCE MINISTER Luis de Guindos advised taxi drivers to move with the times.

Referring to internet carsharing initiatives like Uber and Blablacar, which are bitterly opposed by licensed cab drivers, De Guindos stressed that they were obliged to respect the law.

“Competition is very important, but they have to compete under

equal conditions. There can be no exemption from taxes,” said De Guindos, who heads the Spanish equivalent of the Treasury.

But he also called on taxi drivers “to adapt, as we all must” to the changes that new technology has brought.

“That’s obvious,” the minister concluded.

No gas crisis for Spain SPAIN is sitting pretty regarding its gas supply.

Russia might have reduced Ukraine’s supply, alleging nonpayment, and depleting the supplies of other clients whose gas has to pass through the region. But unlike Estonia, Finland, Letonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Slovakia whose entire supply comes through Ukraine, Spain’s gas comes from various sources, explained the Asociacion Española del Gas (Sedigas).

Last year it imported gas from 11 countries and also has six international pipeline connections.

Two connect directly with Algeria, two with Portugal and another two with France. Fiftyfour per cent of Spain’s natural gas arrives via pipeline, principally from Algeria.

The remaining 46 per cent is liquefied natural gas (LNG) imported in methane tankers that unload at one of Spain’s six functioning regasification plants.

Here the LNG is then heated to turn it back into gas before it is piped to users. Spain currently accounts for 36.5 per cent of

BARCELONA: LNG storage facility.

Europe’s regasification capacity, with plants in Sagunto (Valencia) Huelva, Cartagena (Murcia), Barcelona, Bilbao and Mugardos (La Coruña). There is another plant, at present unused, in El Musel (Asturias).

“Spain even could send gas

onward to other countries,” Sedigas has revealed.

The present infrastructure is sufficient to circulate 5.4 billion cubic metres of gas, but the Irun pipeline in the north of Spain will increase this to 7.1 billion cubic metres.

Less money and more margarine SPANISH families spent an average €27,098 last year, 3.7 per cent less than in 2012.

There were more eggs and margarine on the daily menu and sales of loose tobacco increased as many smokers started rolling their own.

Children received 21 per cent less pocket money from their parents.

Holidays, eating out, cinema visits and tickets for cultural events were all reined in last year although outlay on gas, electricity and water bills increased because of higher tariffs.

There was also more to pay at the chemists owing to co-payment for medication and families spent more on education.

Amongst other things this was due to the steep rise in university students’ annual registration fees.

Grants for textbooks,

school transport and lunches were also harder to come by.

An official Family Budget Survey by Spain’s Institute of National Statistics (INE) demonstrates that despite the recent improvement to the national economy the results of this progress have yet to filter through to families.

Spending fell by 14.5 per cent between 2008 and 2013 and last year’s €27,098 family average is lowest of the crisis years.

Families spent 30 per cent less on shoes, clothes and items for the home during these five years while spending on sewing materials and shoe repairs rose as people literally make do and mend.

The survey also asked participating families for details of their spending on drugs and prostitution.

Are toxic employees killing your business?

DEMOTIVATED?: Then try the carrot and stick approach.

Talking shop Mike Walsh Mike Walsh was for 20 years Regional Assessment Manager for the Guild of Master Craftsmen, Britain’s biggest quality assurance body for businesses.

OCCASIONALLY we experience sloppy service from demotivated staff.

Chances are the boss is out of sight figuring ways to attract new custom as fast as his apathetic employees lose old ones.

I explained my car radio wasn’t working. Asking me what make and presuming he would check it out, I identified my car. Drumming his fingers on the counter, clearly thinking some village is looking for its idiot, he replies sarcastically, “No, what radio?”

How I kept from dragging

him over the counter I don't know. An optician’s assistant looks at me like she just found me on the bottom of her shoe. “You do realise you will have to pay?”

Is there an antidote to cretinous employees in a business environment where

it is near impossible to sack the work-shy, incompetent and downright mutinous?

Try the carrot and stick approach. Reconsider the methods by which you pay staff. Tweak it so an element of incentive becomes integral to their livelihood. This could

be a bonus based on turnover or profits.

Everyone likes familiarity so why not delegate key members of the staff to waiting upon regulars.

Never take employees for granted, involve them as you would if they were partners

or shareholders. In fact, good staff are more important than investors.

By the same token it should be pointed out to employees that you encourage clients to report their experience as a customer. By doing so, everyone who uses your business becomes a shareholder.

Encourage employees to suggest ways by which their business, which you think of as your business, can be improved. Doing so involves them.

They feel your business is as important to them as it is to you.

A key element is to find ways to recognise not just individual but team performance. Again, this can be in the form of a bonus, financial reward, time off in lieu or restaurant vouchers.

By doing things this way your staff will be as keen as you are to stamp down on the dumb insolent.

EDUCATION is essential.

But it’s how we educate our children that will see them succeed later in life.

Sometimes children don’t need a fancy education or a run of titles after their name to become financially stable; they just need to have a little bit of real interest in something that excites them!

Too often children are bored stiff and end up day dreaming their way through secondary school and university - if they make it to higher education. This is a problem. A half-hearted attention to learning is not conducive to nurturing the next Donald Trump or Richard Branson. What kids actually need is to be

START YOUNG: Teach children business. motivated by what teachers and parents tell them. Children are the future and if they are invested in young enough the sky is the limit.

In the US a new trend is taking off whereby an organisation known as NFTE enters schools offering entrepreneurship

classes and training young people to run their own businesses. They say that by giving teenagers this knowledge early on in their education they are more likely to finish school and better able to thrive after graduation.

How can we install a lift?

Q. We have been gaining support to install a lift in our block on the Costa Blanca. However we You and the get no help from our management company Law in Spain representative or the committee. They would

By David Searl not allow us to table a question on this. They said this was not permitted under the rules for “any other business.” They also blocked a motion to pay the Vice President, who is an architect, to produce a detailed proposal. Previously we were told that a postal ballot for a lift is against Spanish law. Is there a way forward?

E.M. (Costa Blanca) A. Yes, there is a way forward, but let us take your points one by one. First, it is true that the AGM rules do not permit a vote on a major issue such as the installation of a lift, without advance notice. Such a vote cannot be taken under the last section of the Agenda, of “any other business.”

It must appear on the official Agenda issued to the members well in advance of the AGM, so that they have time to make an informed decision. Second, postal ballots are not permitted for the community AGM. First you need informed advice from a lawyer not connected with your community. To install a lift, which improves accessibility, you may well find help from revised Article 10 of the new Horizontal Law, which aims to help the

handicapped and persons over 70 years of age.

preneurship classes, the students must brainstorm and develop a business, and then present the business plan to judges, who select the best project and give a healthy cash prize.

Previous winners, include two students from Chicago who created a football sock with a built-in pocket for shin guards. Their idea is currently being eyed-up by professional manufacturers.

The push behind all this is not just about coming up with a killer business idea, it’s about getting kids excited and thinking about becoming their own boss. Not all students are academic and this type of

education helps gives others the chance to develop skills and perhaps shine in other areas.

I personally love this approach to education.

The old-fashioned robotic model of learn and regurgitate - that is all too common is Spanish schools - is outdated and inapt. Let’s give our children the opportunity to explore options, get excited about business and most importantly, try to become their own boss.

The idea that anyone with a good idea and some hard work can become a success is one that parents and teachers should be promoting to the next generation.

Shedding light on last year’s electricity scandal SPAIN’S Markets and Monopolies regulatory body (CNMC) is investigating Iberdrola for possible price manipulation.

The CNMC could not reveal the period in question, sources said, as this was an ongoing case.

Neither should opening the investigation be allowed to pre-judge the energy company, they added. If Iberdrola is found to have been involved in ‘fraudulent price manipulation’ the multinational could be fined between €6 million and €60 million under Spain’s Electricity Sector laws.

Despite the regulator’s tactful evasion, there is little doubt that the CNMC is interested in the days leading up to the quarterly

INVESTIGATION: Iberdrola building in Bilbao. auctions of wholesale electricity last December.

Prices rose so steeply that if they had not been annulled by the Spanish government, household electricity bills would have increased by 10.5 per cent.

Since then the quarterly auctions have been abolished and the nonregulated portion of the consumers’ electricity bills

is calculated on the daily price of energy on the wholesale market or ‘pool.’

As news of the CNMC investigation broke, Iberdrola issued a statement announcing the probe was “limited to activity from certain hydraulic installations between November 30 and December 23.” They denied any wrongdoing.

OPINION & COMMENT

Homes heartbreak as Catch 22 means no help for householders I TOTALLY agree with R G Waugh (Fuengirola), that if the powers that be don’t do anything, then we can use our vote in the next local elections.

However, I can assure him that both the main parties have been asked about making changes to Andalucia’s Urban Planning Law (LOUA).

I have also written to anyone that I could think of who might be able to help. The UK parliament cannot help as we are under Spanish Law. The European Parliament cannot help as we are under Spanish law.

The Spanish Parliament cannot help as we are under the autonomous rule of Andalucia, and have no fear they have been contacted too.

My main reason for writing letters is so that everyone knows about the situation, the stress and heartache that this causes, as well as the financial burden of fighting your case.

You buy a house with all the correct paperwork, receive your deeds, heave a huge sigh of relief and then find out that you are not legal at all.

Plain language I FULLY agree that a European prime minister should speak at least one other language.

Given the cosmopolitan ambitions of any UK government I assume David Cameron has a working knowledge of both German and Russian?

When I do not understand Spanish people very well, I say: “I do not speak Spanish well enough.” When British people speak of a similar situation, they nearly always say: “They did not speak English.”

Can you explain to me why they put it this way?

UKIP vs EU THE usual ‘Guardianista’ rubbish from Bill Campbell, who says UKIP has only one policy - to get out of the EU. The point is, that as Brussels makes 75 per cent of our laws (and from November 1 a lot more), this one policy affects all other areas.

In addition, a condition of membership of the EU is that we sign up to the European Court of Human Rights.

Where to go?

I AM allergic to a lot of medication and therefore have much I need to dispose of.

I know this can be left at a chemist or any health centre but I would like to know what happens to this unused medication.

Is it passed on to the poor or sent to third world countries? The

same applies to spectacles. Do opticians collect them to be sent to needy people?

If there is anyone who knows whether these things are passed on to be used for the good of others I should be most grateful.

Much of my unused medication is quite costly and I hate to think of it being dumped whilst many people are dying because it is unobtainable in their country.

Christine Harbour, Torre del Mar (Malaga) Editor’s note: Specsavers stores around Spain do collect old glasses for charity.

Closed season MY wife and I drove all the way from Alhaurin to La Cañada, Marbella, specifically to do a spot of shopping.

We were disappointed to find the whole complex closed! Another of those annoying local holidays it seems.

We weren’t the only ones to be caught out: there were dozens of other folk with shopping funds burning a hole in their pockets.

What defies belief is how a nation like Spain can be in such dire straits financially when it’s full of such enterprising traders with

such high business acumen.

Scam alert GAS men arrived at my villa and I understood I had to have my gas checked out by law. As they seemed to have all the correct paperwork I allowed them in.

They immediately removed all four of my gas regulators (two of them were only two years old).

They then removed all the hoses and pipe fittings which they soldered back on, and also used copper piping from an old boiler in my garage to run another valve that I was told I needed.

I then spoke to my next door neighbour and after being told this was a scam I confronted the six people who got very agitated.

Unfortunately I had already paid them €485.13 and they would not refund any of the cash.

I called the Guardia but when they arrived they said these people were legal and left.

I took photos of their two vehicles and have circulated the registration numbers on Facebook to hopefully warn any other unwary people. I have since had a gas leak that I found in my garage fixed independently.

Robin Gregory, Mojacar Playa (Almeria)

Fighting back I READ with interest Mary Goosey’s problems with cancelling her telephone contract.

I sympathise as I have had a similar problem with my car insurance since moving from France to Spain. Despite sending several letters by registered mail to the company and the agent, cancelling my health, house and car insurances, it wasn’t until December they got the message.

However they have continued to demand payment for insurance on one of my cars with the threat of bailiffs for non-payment.

Unfortunately it is like hitting your head against a brick wall and no one seems to respond personally to the countless letters and emails I have sent.

If it’s any consolation to Mary, I am now put off buying a phone package.

Good luck Mary and don’t be intimidated by these companies!

The UK Tax Residence Test The UK’s Statutory Residence Test which came into effect in April 2013 was a welcome development after the old system and provides much more certainty. However for more complicated cases it can still be complex and it is important to understand the detail of the test.

The test is a definite process to determine your UK residence status for income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax purposes. All British expatriates need to be aware of how it applies to them. It is possible for HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) to determine that you are UK resident, even though you believe you are resident in Spain.

To assess your residence status, you need to work through the following three tests in order. If you are non-UK resident under the first test, the other two will not apply.

Whether you are an ‘arriver’ or ‘leaver’ plays an important part, and this is based on your residence status

UK in any of the previous three UK tax years, and are present for fewer than 46 days in the current year.

• You were resident in one or more of the previous three years, and present for fewer than 16 days in the current year.

• You work overseas full time, subject to conditions.

By Robert Croizat, Senior Partner, Blevins Franks

the previous three years. All references to ‘years’ are a UK tax year. A day in the UK is counted if you are there at midnight.

(1) Automatic overseas test If you meet any of the following conditions, you are automatically treated as not resident in the UK: • You were not resident in the

(2) Automatic residence test You are automatically treated as resident in the UK if you meet any of the following conditions: • You spend at least 183 days in the UK in the current tax year.

• Your only or main home is in the UK. • You work full time in the UK, subject to certain conditions.

Sufficient ties test If your residence position is not determined by the above two tests, the number of days you can spend

in the UK without being UK resident depends on if you are an arriver or leaver, and the number of connecting ties you have. These are: • Family - spouse and/or minor children live in the UK • Accessible accommodation if available to you for 91 days and you spend one night there • Work - 40 or more days working in the UK • 90 days - if you spent 90 days or more in the UK in either of the two previous years • Country - if you spend more days in the UK than any other country (only applies to ‘leavers’).

The more ties you have with the UK, the less time you can spend onshore without becoming UK resident.

The test outlines circumstances in which an individual may be able to claim split year treatment.

The UK does have a double tax

treaty with Spain, but it does not provide as much protection as you may think. It is possible to be tax resident in the UK even if you have been paying taxes in Spain.

For peace of mind about your tax residency status, taxes you should be paying and where and the best tax planning for your situation, speak to a professional adviser who understands the intricacies of both UK and Spanish tax law and how the two interact.

Tax rates, scope and reliefs may change. Any statements concerning taxation are based upon our understanding of current taxation laws and practices which are subject to change. Tax information has been summarised; an individual is advised to seek personalised advice.

Look smart with Costa Embroidery

For all your personalised business or society needs PAT and Mel Davis have been trading on the Costa Blanca for 26 years and were the first English Embroidery Service available in Spain, supplying quality personalised garments to individuals, businesses, sports, social and service clubs.

Initially their main customers were bars selling souvenir shirts to holiday makers, but, as more sports and social clubs formed they began supplying to golf societies, tennis and petanque clubs, amongst others.

Pat said: “We then became involved with all bowls clubs as and when they started up. Whilst supplying the bowls clubs we were constantly asked for sweaters, jackets, trousers, shoes etc so after contacting several UK suppliers we opened our first Lawn Bowls Shop at Javea Bowls Club followed a few years later by a second at Los Montesinos, near Torrevieja.”

The Javea store has closed, but Los Montesinos remains open and is believed to be the only dedicated Bowls Shop in

LOOKING SMART: Costa Blanca Male Voice Choir with embroidered blazers.

Spain, with the embroidery business still running and operating from Moraira.

OTHERS THINK IT

proof whatsoever their theories are correct. I find that all a bit sad. Such a waste of young lives to be told they must maim, kill and die horrible deaths to achieve happiness.

No, it is the religious leaders who have all this misery, maiming and destruction on their consciences. Odd that you don’t see many of them in the front line or strapped up to suicide bombs; does this mean they don’t actually want to finish up in Shangri La? Mmm. Do I detect the whiff of hypocrisy?

Well the little darlings are now on their THREE MONTH vacation. I’m watching two of mine lying on the couch. They have now been there over a half an hour and have so far not spoken a word to each other! I’ll tell you one thing mobiles have brought us, lots of blessed peace and quiet. Be thankful for small mercies.

I see police are now preparing a claim that Leonard Rossiter was in a gang of sex attackers working on the set of a BBC drama in 1968. Rossiter of course died in 1984. As much as I sympathise with these young ladies

who had their bums touched 45 years ago, don’t we think it’s time to call down the statute of limitations and save the taxpayer and authorities considerable time and money by moving on and getting a life?

Keep the faith.

Love Leapy. leapylee2002@gmail.com

REGARDING the Jolie/Hague anti-rape escapade (Leapy, Issue 1511). How in the blue blazes are they going to action this?

Is someone going into darkest Africa or Islamic controlled countries to shout stop or we will prosecute you? We left South Africa to get away from crime, greed and corruption and the news of some demon raping babies because a so called witch doctor told them to do so to get rid of AIDS. The UK people need a swift kick up the backside.

I am an outsider looking in and I can see there could be a lot of problems if the government of the day keeps on sticking its head in the ground, to say nothing of the ‘political correctness’ that it pushes.

At long last, lots of live music and dancing… Before midnight WOULD you love to see live music and maybe enjoy to dance, but don’t because everything starts after midnight?

Encore Encore opens from 8.30pm with live music commencing around 9.30pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening .

Now you will be able to enjoy fabulous live music, and dance in the new Encore Encore Music Bar in Denia.

Their much sought after Latino live jamming sessions have been relaunched for Thursdays.

The night features several musicians with various instruments, randomly playing together and with the most amazing vocals.

ENCORE ENCORE: Enjoy fabulous live music and dance in the new music bar situated in Denia.

Never seen this before?

Then go along tonight or any other Thursday and prepare for a wonderful surprise.

Friday and Saturday evenings are the Encore Encore party evenings.

Fridays will generally be a little more ‘tranquilo,’ but all with live music and dancing. The music ranges from beautiful Latino and Flamenco, to Party Rock and Pop, Soul, Jazz and Blues, and the occasional

tribute evening. You can see the full details of the scheduled events at www.livemusicindenia.com.

Encore Encore is aimed at an international audience which enjoys a

great night out with live music and dancing.

Not ideally suited to teenagers and the hip hop people, Encore Encore is really for a more mature sophisticated taste which

will probably be aged around 35 and above, but with no limits.

The venue, Blanco Negro, has seating for up to 100 people, a large bar area and dance floor.

Whether you are a couple and want an intimate evening together, a group who want to socialise around a large round table, or maybe dance all night to the incredible bands… Encore Encore is the venue to make a night to remember… every week!

One might expect high drinks prices, but this is far from the case in Encore Encore. With cañas at less than €1.50, and an additional 10 per cent discount on all drinks purchased, if you take a free membership… it will make for a fantastic value evening.

Why not add something to your life in Spain?

Time Out EURO WEEKLY’S SPACE FOR YOU TO TAKE A BREAK, BE INFORMED AND ENJOY A CHALLENGE

Directed by Gareth Edwards, the film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ken Watanabe.

It has a run time of 123 minutes and is rated 12A.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) What is the reason that you are being held back? Are you sure that you are, in reality, being held back at all?

These are not trick questions. Being honest with your answers this week will lift a cloud from your horizon. Perhaps you are seeing ghosts when there are only shadows.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) With high energy you are seeking to get as much done as possible in a small amount of time.

Rather than go at it ‘hammer and tongs’, it could be easier. Let someone help you out. They will find it satisfying and so you will both be happy.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You are freer than you imagine.

Your imagination is letting you down a bit at the moment. Not for some time have opportunities been throwing themselves at you like this. The question is not if you should take up an offer but rather which one you should choose.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Give others the benefit of the doubt and your infinite patience this week. Situations will change from minute to minute. It would be a waste of energy to take anything at face value. Time is often the first thing to solve many problems. As with health, given a few days simple things will sort themselves out.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Although you are only too aware that you are capable of great good when you put your mind to it, it would be wise to bide your time this week. You may not realise that you are expending too much energy until your weary head hits the pillow. Be kind to your body. Some things that are taken for granted should not be so.

This can lead to neglect. In neither home nor business is this recommended.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) It may seem that everyone wants your attention at the moment.

There are times when you would like nothing more than to go away and clear your mind. This is not only possible but essential. You need some quiet moments. Even a day away can renew your spirits and energy.

H ex a g r a m

Godzilla is a 2014 edgeof-your-seat reboot of the eponymous film franchise. In 1999, the Japanese Janjira nuclear plant is mysteriously destroyed, killing Joe Brody’s wife and colleague, Sandra. Brody embarks with his son on a quest to find out the truth behind her tragic death. They both witness the reawakening of a colossal winged threat that could bring about the destruction of mankind.

Your Stars

June 29: Nicole Scherzinger, 36. Singer.

She gained fame as a dancer/singer with the Pussycat Dolls and later became famous in the UK for going out with F1 driver Lewis Hamilton.

June 27: Tobey Maguire, 39. Film actor.

Maguire first came to fame in ‘The Cider House Rules’ and later went on to play Spiderman in the 2002 film.

He was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in ‘Brothers.’

June 28: Kathy Bates, 66. Film actress.

She received a massive fan base for her performance as a psychopathic ex-nurse in Stephen King’s film of ‘Misery.’

Her film debut was in 1971 in ‘Taking Off.’

PASTEL (10)

CHERRY

MORTAR

IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK: Keep your mind open through the rest of this year. You have had your ups and downs but the worst of it is over. Complete security is not going to leap out at you but you have turned the corner. Romance has also been a bit rocky but is now settling.

June 26: Aubrey Plaza, 30. TV actress.

Plaza shot to fame playing April Ludgate on the television series ‘Parks and Recreation’ - she also appeared in ‘The To Do List’ in 2013.

NAUGHT

AVERSE

July 1: Dan Aykroyd, 62. Actor.

An originator of the ‘Blues Brothers’ film this Canadian actor is also a comedian, screenwriter and singer who starred in both ‘Ghostbusters’ films.

June 30: Jose Mota.

Comedian.

This comedian, actor, writer and director was an integral part of the comedy duo Cruz y Raya between 1989 and 2007. He got his start in the world of show business on the stages of Madrid clubs and was later picked up by Javier Sarda for his TV programme.

49

July 2 : Lindsay Lohan, 28. Film actress.

Although now famous for having been through rehab she shot to fame in ‘The Parent Trap’ in 1998 and won several MTV Movie Awards for her role in ‘Mean Girls.’

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) So strong have been the practical considerations of late that you have been in a bad position. You need to live more for the ‘now’ and less for the ‘tomorrow’. Of course, life should be a mixture of both but sometimes it all gets a bit jumbled. Getting a few hours peace and quiet on your own may be all that you need. Getting enough sleep is also important in this situation.

PISCES (Febraury 20 - March 20) How you feel about someone will change dramatically during the week. This will surprise you. Thinking about it logically, though, you have been missing the point for some time.

Someone who you always thought of as a friend turns out to be much more. How you deal with this is very much an individual thing.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Wanting to put things right with someone close is a good instinct to have. It would certainly give you peace of mind. Indeed, this should be a quiet and peaceful week and one that is long overdue. Being successful in business is only one part of success. The light is dawning that what you have always wanted has changed.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Putting all of your eggs in one basket is rarely to be advised. It should particularly be avoided this week.

For the sake of speed and ease it will be tempting to take short cuts and make decisions that are bland. These will, of their nature, not be of the ‘good’ or ‘great’ categories. You are capable of better.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) With your engine revving and the road ahead clear, a sense of great freedom is with you. There are those for whom this week is a chance to really make headway. For some, though, it is an irksome task. The difference is that some of you are taking a negative attitude. Make sure that yours is positive and you will have a chance to make real progress

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Someone very special could come into your life. You must, however, be at the ball to meet the prince. This opportunity for happiness is not going to jump up and bite you. A phone call could be the start of it all. Accept invitations and get out and about. Be aware of what is going on so that you can be in the right place at the right time.

Mr Mercedes is horror master Stephen King’s first detective novel. It tells the story of lonely and overweight former homicide detective Bill Hodges who comes out of retirement and sets out to stop a lunatic named Brady Hartsfield who drives a stolen Mercedes into a crowd of unsuspecting unemployed people lined up for a spot at a job fair, killing eight and

injuring 15.

Months later, haunted by the still unsolved crime, Hodges gets a letter from a man who threatens to carry out an even deadlier attack.

Obsessed with stopping the homicidal maniac, Hodges pairs up with some of Stephen King’s most unlikely heroes in a suspenseful race against time to stop the killer before he can strike again.

As the weather hots up for summer, tips to combat the high temperatures TOP TIPS: Drink plenty of water or liquids often regardless of physical activity.

AS the weather hots up, health officials have launched their annual plan to prevent the effects of high temperatures which will stay in place until September 15.

The Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality offers their top tips: Drink water or liquids often regardless of physical activity undertaken.

Do not overindulge in drinks with caffeine, alcohol or large amounts of sugar, as they can lose more body fluid.

Although anyone can have a problem with heat, pay special attention to infants and young

children, the elderly and people with diseases that may be aggravated by heat and dehydration, such as heart diseases.

Stay as long as possible in cool, shaded or air-conditioned areas.

Try to reduce physical activity and avoid sports outdoors during the hottest hours (12pm - 5pm).

Never leave anyone in a closed parked vehicle.

Consult your doctor if symptoms last longer than an hour and they can be related to the effects of high temperatures.

Many people have tried and failed, but with Jonathan Gilchrist’s Fast Track hypnosis you can quit for good in just one simple 30 minute session, putting a stop to the old adage ‘once a smoker always a smoker.’

Jonathan said: “What is smoking but an addiction? And where is an addiction based? In the mind.

“Yes, there are physical cravings, but these are formed around the mind’s need for the drug, a drug which is housed within the form of a cigarette. If you smoke, then effectively, you take a drug.”

If you want to break free from the hold smoking has over you call Jonathan now.

During the 30 minute Fast Track Hypnosis session, you will be free from the drug and all because your mind will be re-programmed during the session. CDs come included in the whole Fast Track hypnosis package and these will help to alleviate any physical discomfort and stop you from reaching for the biscuit jar for comfort.

The session takes the bad influences that have taken root in your mind and implants the positive over them. It transforms your way of thinking as well as enabling you to relax and take a breather from your busy life.

Fast Track Hypnosis is a safe yet powerful way to remove nicotine addiction from your life

quickly and efficiently.

You’ll be free of the cravings, free from the health risks, free from the danger to your family and free to spend your hardearned cash on anything you want but cigarettes!

If you are ready to finally quit smoking for good, call Jonathan Gilchrist now for the Fast Track Hypnosis programme available in Cabo Roig, Quesada and Benidorm, and a free initial consultation or brochure.

How to look hair in the s IF there is one part of our body that suffers in the summer it’s our hair - we go swimming and it either gets chlorine from the pool or salt from the sea and then it is subjected to high temperatures and direct sunlight, all of which can have a negative effect on it.

Here are a few tips to keep it looking and feeling healthy throughout the summer.

Keep it well moisturised.

Nothing is worse for your hair than being too dry, so treat yourself to a hair mask to help your usual conditioner.

Try not to colour it in the months of the most intense sunlight. It will lose or change its colour very quickly when exposed to the strong rays from the sun.

Try to avoid hair dryers or heating tongs. These will only

If you have split ends, cut them. Not cutting the ends will make the whole length of the hair look unhealthy.

little olive oil into your hair and leave it there for at least two hours - this will condition it better than anything from a shop.

The best choice for sun glasses THERE is only really one criterion that we all adhere to when choosing sun glasses - aesthetics - but we really should take other matters into account if we want to protect our eyes.

All sun glasses lenses have UV filters and this is what you have to look at when choosing.

If the tag claims the lenses are polarised then they are suitable for sports like skiing or sailing.

It is best to buy them from an optician as then you will know the lenses are EU approved and won’t hurt your eyes. The beach sellers are tempting with all the cheap knock offs but they are just that cheap knock offs.

Cheap sun glasses are often made of plastic and can be dangerous for the health of your eyes; they scratch easily and is compensated for by your eyes and can lead to “tired eye syndrome” (very red eyes!).

NICE SMILE: There are certain foods that can help whiten our teeth.

Eat dark chocolate for a whiter smile WE all know there are certain foods that can stain our teeth, but do you know the ones that can help whiten them?

A dentist from Beverly Hills, USA, says dark chocolate, green tea and strawberries can help. Dr. Harold Katz says that the bitter powder of dark chocolate helps to harden the enamel surface of teeth which helps prevent staining and discolouration.

Green tea also prevents staining as it

contains enzymes which stop bacteria sticking to the teeth and contains polyphenols which fight oral acids and bacteria.

Strawberries contain malic acid, an enzyme that actually cleans stains off the teeth.

Apples are also good as their texture toughens the gums reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth loss.

By Lamia Walker of HouseSitMatch ONE of the challenges I face in running the housesitting network is finding fun ways to write some of the fab stories our members share with us.

We love these stories, they show real solutions to problems. Here’s a lovely one that involves an expat owner, several four legged friends and a pet-friendly family of sitters from the UK! Owner Donnie, based near Murcia, came to us through a friend of a friend who had seen the website in France! “I need someone who can look after two horses, two dogs and a cat in August - oh, and the pool will need cleaning.” Mid-August, school holidays, pool and pets..? Hhmmm!

That day I had an email from a friend saying how she had lost her job, was going freelance, and was looking for a fun and affordable way to spend the summer with her daughters, maybe on a farm in the UK so they can feed and ride horses.

I sent her Donnie’s home owner profile. She registered as a sitter. They matched online. Another fabulous and very real solution!

COPROPHAGIA, to give the proper name to the condition where dogs eat faeces, is a natural form of behaviour which most dogs learn from puppyhood when their mother will clean up after them.

It happens more in puppies which come from rescue kennels and pet shops. It can also be started by poor house-

training where owners do not clean up after the pup.

Boredom is another cause.

Dogs that spend long periods alone in the garden or in kennels can develop this habit. In kennels, dogs will copy other dogs doing it. Don’t rub a dog’s nose in its excrement. This only teaches dogs to eat the evidence to avoid punishment. Don’t shout or chase the dog away. It will only learn to eat faster. Do remove the faeces,

especially if you live in a warm climate, for they encourage mosquitoes.

You can also treat faeces with Tabasco or peppers.

The dog will not find that taste very rewarding. It could be the dog is just hungry.

Split the daily food ration into several portions and feed the dog three or four times a day with a higher fibre content.

Alternatively, the dog could have a

NATURAL BEHAVIOUR: Where dogs eat their own faeces.

health problem.

There is a condition called Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency, where a lack of enzymes in the pancreas will result in dogs being ravenously hungry.

Dogs suffering from this will eat anything. Although the eating of faeces is absolutely repellent to humans, the smell and texture is attractive to dogs.

Dogs have a different palate to our own. If all else fails, only allow the dog off lead with a muzzle. Taste is not such an important sense to dogs, despite claims to the contrary.

Costa Blanca’s best guide to local restaurants

Round Spain on a plate: Zaragoza

ZARAGOZA is the capital city of Aragon, in the north east of Spain, and has a wide variety of traditional gastronomy mainly revolving around saffron and meat, rather than fish, due to its being inland.

Nobody can visit the area without trying their most typical dish: the Chilindron which consists of a sauce made with a variety of vegetables, tomatoes, peppers and a lot of garlic, traditionally served over braised lamb but chicken is also a popular alternative.

Cordero a la pastora (shepherd’s lamb) is another popular dish in the area, which is braised lamb served in its own juices with boiled or roast potatoes.

The only traditional fish dish is bacalao (cod) which is usually served with a saffron sauce and boiled vegetables with a thick tomato sauce on the side.

For dessert the must-eat is the adoquin de Catalayud (Catalayud cobble stone), a very large boiled sweet, which always comes wrapped in a paper depicting the Virgin of the Pilar (local patron saint). Another traditional dessert is migas con chocolate.

A lot of the slushies available out there are loaded with frightening amounts of sugar so why not just take the rind off the watermelon and throw it into the liquidiser for a minute with some ice, and possibly a little squirt of lemon juice, and you have the perfect summer refresher.

Honey grilled

watermelon salad. Next time you have a barbecue cut some watermelon into large cubes, smother in honey and throw onto the grill. Now mix some tomato, cucumber and lettuce in with the roasted watermelon and dress to taste; it makes the perfect side dish for meats.

Summer watermelon salad. Cut the watermelon into cubes as before and add to a mix of avocado, feta, radish, red onion, mint and chives - this makes an unusual, flavourpacked summer salad.

Watermelon ice cubes. A great way to cool down your drink whatever it may be, this goes well with soft drinks and even wine, just make watermelon balls and put them into the freezer for a few hours and plop them into your drink.

WATERMELON SLUSHY: The healthy alternative.

World friendly fried rice WHILE it could be a bold statement to say that everyone loves fried rice, there are countless delicious recipes around the world.

It is a well-known fact fried rice is a common staple in American Chinese cuisine.

But there are countless variations, including chaulafan (Ecuador), omurice (Japan), sinangag (Philippines) and Bai cha (Cambodia).

Making fried rice is not rocket science. But getting it just right takes a little know-how.

It is preferable to use cold leftover cooked rice. and include chicken, ham, tofu, carrots, corn, peas, eggs, shredded beef, pork, bacon, etc.

Having always liked the location, visiting the marina for four years, when a unit became available they snapped it up. Alin said: “It is a very nice community here, we are all like a family.” Serving those in the marina and visiting guests

have suggested toughening the requirements included in an already drafted bill which is still to be passed.

The bill was submitted to the Advisory Council in late May and it is very likely that it will be greenlit.

According to the CATP, the bill on private rentals of the Community of Madrid is ‘clearly permissive.’

It estimates that the number of private rentals could triple, should the bill be passed.

Furthermore, the CATP

believes that passing the bill could result in the disappearance of 3,000 jobs in the hotel industry.

“It is an already existing phenomenon.

We can’t prohibit it, but we can regulate it,” said Carmen Gonzalez, of the Employment, Tourism and Culture Ministry.

If private rentals were regulated by law, “we could guarantee tourists quality accommodations and the respect for their consumer rights.”

She added that “private rental owners could be held accountable and tourists could make formal complaints when lodgings do not comply with the minimum requirements.”

The bill defines private rentals as whole flats and houses that tourists can rent.

It does not include

Madrid hotel industry rejects plans to regulate private rentals THE Madrid hotel industry categorically rejected the local government’s intention to regulate 8,000 private rentals.

The Corporate Association for Tourism Promotion (CATP) of Madrid, encompassing several hotel business associations and the Madrid Association of Travel Agencies have requested Ignacio Gonzalez, President of the Community of Madrid, to refrain from imposing control measures.

As an alternative, they

E DO

HOTEL INDUSTRY: Against regulating private rentals. individual bedrooms.

If their properties were considered tourist lodgings bound by law, private rental owners would have to make sure they are included in the Tourist Businesses Registry. In addition, their rates would have to be clearly displayed.

“We want to protect customer rights, eliminate

unfair competition and create jobs,” said Salvador Victoria, spokesperson for the regional government.

The Community of Madrid also believes regulating private rentals will encourage investment, which in turn will contribute to reactivating the economy by creating more jobs.

THE construction sector in Spain will hit rock bottom in 2014.

As stated by the Construction Technological Institute of Catalonia (ITeC) in their latest Euroconstruct report, the sector will start to slowly recover in 2015.

Its reactivation will reportedly accelerate in the next few years, with an estimated 3.4 per cent increase by 2016.

Nevertheless, it is not expected to reach similar figures seen in other European countries for at least five more years.

Euroconstruct forecasts house constructions will increase by 5 per cent in 2015 and 8 per cent in 2016. It also predicts 40,000 new homes will be built in the second half of 2014, 6,000 more than in 2013, and more than 50,000 in 2015.

Non-residential building construction will react ‘more slowly,’ according to Euroconstruct. It will purportedly start growing in 2016 (3 per cent).

ITeC foresees 2014 will be the last year of economic contraction for the construction sector.

RACE TEAM: Were in Talavera La Real, Badajoz over the weekend.

Strong weekend for Supermotoland THE Supermotoland race team were in Talavera La Real, Badajoz, over the weekend for the second round of the Spanish Supermoto championship with its two riders Anthony and Mat Ford-Dunn.

Going into the weekend, both brothers were holding third position in their championship classes and they wasted no time at all in practice to get the best settings from their

Advance Moves International Removals sponsored race bikes.

When it came to qualifying, Anthony put himself on the first row of the grid, in second position for the Premier SM open class, whilst older brother Mat managed to go one better in the SM35 Master class and found himself in a comfortable Pole position for the race.

Anthony was first to

race, and in the first of his three races he was in third position and fighting for the lead with Angel Grau and reigning Spanish Champion Francesco Cucharrera.

The three were having a tremendous battle with no quarter given when a small mistake from Cucharrera saw him crash in the dirt section leaving Anthony nowhere to go but into Cucha’s fallen bike and both riders were all of a sudden on the deck.

Anthony was first to remount and with his engine still running he was able to restart relatively quickly and set about chasing down the leader.

Anthony’s pace was incredible but he just didn’t have enough time left in the race to catch and pass Angel Grau and ended up second at the flag.

In the second SM Anthony finished second behind Cucha.

The last race of the day saw Cucha and Anthony locked in a race long battle

ANTHONY: Was second in his first race and despite closing the gap, was second behind Cucha.

MAT FORD-DUNN: In dominant form in both his races, turned his pole position into two race wins.

for the lead and despite breaking the lap record Anthony was unable to pass the Reigning Spanish Champion and once again finished a very close second. The day’s results

put Anthony in second position on the podium.

Older Brother Mat was in dominant form in both of the SM35 Master races and he turned his pole position into two race wins and as

well as standing on the top step of the podium at the end of the days racing, he had also elevated himself from third to first position in the championship and with a comfortable lead.

Competition is fierce in the Master class and once again Mat will be refining his race bike before both brothers race again.

Race reports and videos can be seen at the team’s website www.Supermotoland.com.

GT3-R - the rarest and most dynamic tourer BENTLEY has announced what it calls “the rarest and most dynamic member of the esteemed Continental family of Grand Tourers.”

Inspired by the new Continental GT3 race car that stormed to victory at the second round of the Blancpain Endurance Series at Silverstone, the first UK race for Bentley for 84 years, it has unveiled the Continental GT3R, blending proven track and road

credentials. If you want one you had better hurry - the production run is limited to just 300.

All 300 examples of the Continental GT3-R will be hand-built in Crewe and finished in Bentley’s Motorsport division.

Bentley engineers have developed a retuned version of Bentley’s raceproven, high performance 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 for this new two-

seater GT. Developing 580 PS (572 bhp / 426 kW) and 700 Nm of torque, together with a 100 kilo weight reduction and shorter gearing, the Continental GT3-R is the fastest-accelerating Bentley ever.

Capable of reaching 60 mph from a standstill in just 3.6 seconds (0100 km/h in 3.8 secs), the GT3-R is a Grand Tourer with the performance of a racer.

WE DO! 26 June - 2 July 2014 / Costa Blanca North E W N

Annual three clubs and a putter trophy game LAST Friday the annual playing of the Three Clubs and a Putter Trophy took place at Oliva Nova sponsored by John Day. The main comment after

the game from many of those who took part was “why do we normally carry 14 clubs?” The game was again blessed with beautiful golfing weather to match

the excellent course conditions. The winner and gaining his first Montgo trophy was Bob Marsden with a score of 34 points from his 25.7 handicap.

Close calls for Javea squads ON June 18 in the Valencian League Championships, Javea played away at Bonalba. The result was six points apiece an absolute dead heat, this unusual occurrence was because both teams scored 77 shots each thus sharing the shot difference bonus points.

Five disciplines were played, Ladies and Gents Singles, Pairs, Triples and Rinks, with each side winning two and drawing one.

Shining for Javea were Tony and Anne McKenna who won the Pairs by 17-11 shots and Clive English who won his singles match by 21 shots to seven.

Meanwhile back at the ranch on the same day, Javea’s ‘Emeralds’ squad were hosting Finca Guila in the CBBA Northern Summer League. This was another tightly

fought contest with both sides gaining 12 points each, but the overall shot difference of 91-71 tipped the final tally Finca Guila’s way giving them the two bonus points and a final match total of 14-12.

The Taylor Trophy Open Floodlit Triples saw a change at the top of the leader board after the second week’s play on June 16.

There are five teams who have won three out of a possible four matches with six points each, but rising to the top of the table with a shot difference advantage of 30 are the ‘Deviates’ - so well done to John North, Dennis Reeves and Greg Sperring.

Second place on handicap went to Ros Fletcher (10.7) with 33 points matched by Stella Fox (17.6) who was third. The nearest the pins on the 3rd and 16th were both won by Ros who also took home a coveted Montgo ball for the only two of the day with last year’s trophy winner, Alan Skinner, taking the honours for the nearest second shot on the fifth.

There were also prizes for the best front nine and best back nine scores not placed in the top three and these went to Geoff Willcock and Glenys Cuming respectively.

The Society’s next game is at Oliva Nova on Friday July 4 for a stableford competition sponsored by Fran and Tony Dickinson with a first tee at 8:56. www.montgogolfsociety.net

A strong candidate TENNIS - Last year’s Wimbledon men’s singles champion Andy Murray started his defence of his title against Belgium David Goffin on Monday. The Scot is a strong candidate to retain his title, but could face Novak Djokovic in the semis and Rafael Nadal in the final. The 2013 women’s champion Marion Bartoli has retired.

Andy Murray is back.

A long day for BBC and Javea ON the longest day of the year BBC and Javea did battle once again in the Jubilee Cup and the sun shone on the lucky residents of Marina Alta.

As last year, it was a simultaneous home and away game played on six rinks at each location.

At Inn on the Green, BBC were 14 shots down at the half way point so now it was time for the famous BBC fight back. Unfortunately, on the final rink on the last end they went down five shots and the overall result was -1 to BBC. Over at the BBC things were more difficult and, although two of the rinks did very well, the final result was -24 giving the trophy to Javea Green with 25 points.

The friendly atmosphere and the splendid after game drinks, lunch and entertainment made it all worthwhile and the BBC look forward to doing battle once again next year.

Benitachell Bowls Club welcomes bowlers of all ability and is pleased to offer a free training session to anyone who is interested in learning more about the game.
