INSPIRATIONAL

TRULY inspirational Oscar O’Sheehan, 11, has completed his mammoth fundraising challenge to raise funds to create a sensory garden on the Costa Blanca in record time.

The huge-hearted young boy from Denia has walked the final stages of the Camino de Santiago - 300 kilometres - with ever-supportive mum Niamh, raising more than €3,000 for the special facility at the La Xara Occupational and Day Centre.

And while the feat was expected to take 15 days, the pair completed it in 12,

walking an average of 25kms every day.

Niamh told Euro Weekly News: “We got home on Thursday, August 27 and were absolutely shattered.

You just keep going when you’re walking, you can’t let it get to you, but as soon as you stop it hits you.

“We’re thrilled to have completed the walk in 12

days as there’s a lot of difficult terrain, mountains, rocky roads and dirt paths, as well as towns and villages.”

The venture began two years ago when Oscar asked his mum if he could walk the Camino Santiago.

“That’s not like going for any old walk, it’s a pilgrimage!” said mum-of-three Ni-

amh, a well-known singer on the Costa Blanca.

In October 2018 and October 2019 determined Oscar covered 470kms of his incredible challenge. The plan was that in October 2020 Oscar would tackle the final 300-plus kilometres of the camino from Leon to Santiago de Compostela.

A dream realised “However, as we all know, 2020 hasn’t quite gone to plan,” said Niamh.

To avoid Oscar missing more school after months of lockdown, it was decided he would walk his final 300km of Camino Santiago through the tricky tracks and trails of Galicia in the very early mornings of August.

The idea to create a sensory garden came about after a visit to the Occupational & Day Care centre in La Xara where he saw first-hand the “vitality and importance of this place.”

Oscar asked Director of the Centre, Ana, “how can I help?” and she explained that they often dream about installing a sensory garden adapted for special needs.

With a budget tighter than ever, practical priorities come first, but Oscar is determined to help and you can still help too.

“We now have to build the sensory garden,” said Niamh. “A lot of thought needs to go into that and we need to have expertise.

“If there are any architects who can help, tradespeople, garden centres and building supplies companies who could donate their time or materials, that would be fantastic.

“We are hoping the whole process will take about a week.”

A FAKE Correos email c u r re n t l y d o i n g t h e rounds nearly caught out Euro Weekly News reporter Linda Hall.

“I received an authentic-looking email from Correos, informing me that they had been unable to deliver a packet because the address was incomplete,” she said.

“Last attempt at free delivery. To receive it tomorrow, please give the full address and pay €1.36 delivery costs,” Linda was told.

There was a long reference number, the Correos logo and an attachment with a PDF file.

“There was a very tempting link to click on, and I very nearly did, as my sister had recently sent me a parcel from England,” she said. “But then I thought, ‘Hang on. There’s something fishy here’.”

The sting first surfaced as text messages last December, coinciding with Black Friday and Christmas online purchases before branching out into what looked like Correos emails.

“It’s clever, as no-one would think twice about paying €1.36, and that way they get your address and bank details,” Linda said. “And I might have fallen for it if they’d used the right email address.”

AS August came to an end, the weathermen were proved correct and torrential rain came to the Marina Alta.

It also brought two-metre high waves to the Llebeig cove between Benitachell and neighbouring Moraira where the red warning flag was flying.

The first arrived within minutes and came to the rescue by getting as close as possible to the swimmer, after which one of the lifeguards jumped into the sea and pulled him to safety.

By then he was faint and beginning to vomit, but once aboard the SVS boat he was taken to the Moraig beach, where a waiting ambulance took him to hospital.

Practically pointless break-in VANDALS forced their way into the Santisimo Cristo chapel in inland Planes, knocking down part of a side wall.

They appeared to have used pickaxes and crowbars to reach the interior, where they took items including a communion chalice, crowns from statues of Christ and the Virgen Dolorosa as well as a dagger from the latter statue.

The thieves ransacked drawers and cupboards, strewing anything that did not interest them on the floor.

“Probably they were looking for objects of value, although there were none,”

A 60-YEAR-OLD has been arrested and remanded into custody following the fatal stabbing of a homeless man in Valencia on Christmas Eve last year.

A Local Police patrol found the lifeless body of the victim, 64, in front of a bench in Plaza Marti Grajales at around 4.30am.

He had been stabbed in the chest and the knife used was found nearby.

This was the third robbery in 30 years at the chapel which is located three kilometres from Planes (population 693).

There were 13 migrants on the Calpe boat, including two minors, while the Torrevieja boat had 16 occupants, including a pregnant woman and four minors. There was one minor amongst the 10 people on the boat bound for Benidorm.

All have been tested for Covid-19 and meanwhile are quarantined in Alicante City.

Valencia City’s West Nile virus precautions VALENCIA’S Health councillor declared that West Nile virus is unlikely to affect the city or adjoining areas.

Year-round anti-mosquito controls made it “practically improbable” that the city could be affected by the disease which at the time of writing had claimed three lives in Sevilla.

The president of the Spain’s College of Veterinary Surgeons, Luis Alberto Calvo Saez, warned of the possibility of further West Nile virus cases in other parts of Spain, prompting Ciudadanos councillor Javier Copovi to request a prevention plan.

Garcia explained that steps already taken throughout the year to eliminate the mosquitoes that carry dengue fever, zika and the chikungunya virus would also combat those transmitting the West Nile virus.

These preventive measures were accompanied by constant surveillance, trapping and identifying mosquitoes.

The results were then incorporated in the city’s Health Map, Garcia said.

Fumigation is carried out in approximately 300 Valencia City areas that tend to be swampy or marshy, including El Saler national park, together with the irrigation channels in the outskirts of the city, the councillor added.

“All of these are checked each week, an annual total of 16,800 inspections,” he pointed out.

Imminent return EDUCATIONAL centres in Villajoyosa are undergoing an intense programme of cleaning and disinfecting ahead of the imminent return to school.

Local Police patrols at access points will also be stepped up as the town’s children begin their school year after a lengthy break due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In addition to the usual cleaning tasks to remove dirt, a ‘special action’ is being undertaken with disinfectant products included in the WHO recommendations for their virucidal effectiveness, based on 0.5 per cent sodium hypochlorite for the disinfection of frequently touched surfaces and 70 per cent ethyl alcohol to disinfect specialised equipment that can be reused by staff.

A tiered protocol for entry to the centres has also been established for different age groups and some access points have been modified ‘for greater security at school entrances and exits.’

The Local Police will be involved in controlling these accesses at school start and finish times, in order to avoid crowding.

Councillor for Education, Xente Sebastià, described

DEEP CLEAN: Villajoyosa intensifies ‘back to school’ cleaning programme. a recent meeting with the school management to thrash out all of the issues as “very positive.”

“All the issues regarding safety protocol for the start of the term were re-

viewed, and both parties worked proactively to find solutions to any possible problems that might arise with the new access system.”

He also praised “the

complete willingness and dedication of the great team of teaching professionals to ensure the school year starts with the greatest guarantees of safety.”

Flamenco-fusion GOING through some old papers recently, Cecilio Gonzalez came across some lyrics that he wrote in 1983.

“I never did get round to finishing the music,” he told the Euro Weekly News.

“Then it occurred to me to send it to a young friend Sauwy Perez, a singercomposer who lives in Altea.”

To Cecilio’s amazement, in less than an hour back came a video with Sauwy’s flamenco-fusion version of Soy Feliz which, arranged and produced by Chiclana-based Marko Katier, has recently been released.

“But there’s more to it than that,” Cecilio told us.

Years ago, he wrote a catchy song, En Benidorm which goes back to his time with a group in Benidorm during the 70’s before he turned to property development.

Sauwy has now re-recorded this in his own flamenco-fusion style and Cecilio told us that he is donating all his own royalties to Benidorm’s Centro Doble Amor for those with functional diversity.

There has been one big change to the lyrics, though, and the song has become Quiero volver a Benidorm, echoing the feelings of the many thousands who, barred by Covid-19, also want to return to Benidorm.

For and against Radar Covid

Fines and Possibly even Jail!

THE Valencian Community’s regional Health department is in two minds about the Radar Covid app.

Functioning in eight regions and soon to be rolled out nationwide, the app warns users who have been in close contact with someone who has Covid19.

Some Valencia region health professionals question its efficacy, while others cannot understand why it is not yet in use.

“I’m not sure about the real advantages,” Francisco Valls told the LevanteEMV newspaper.

He is on the Board of Rural Medicine and practises in Beniganim (Valencia), where an outbreak of 24 positive Covid-19 cases was recently detected.

Although he thought Radar Covid was a good

Another doctor, Maria Angeles Medina, president of the Valencian Society of Family and Community Medicine, disagreed.

Also speaking to Levante-EMV, Dr Medina said it was “more than proven” that the app could be of great help.

She could not understand the Health department’s reservations and maintained that RadarCovid could assist in tracing possible cases, especially bearing in mind personnel shortages at some primary care centres.

Other regions were less “pernickety or more innovative” about Radar Covid, claimed the doctor, who would like to see more backing for technology in combating Covid-19 outbreaks in the Valencian Community.

AS parents and children all over Spain prepare for the return to schools on Monday many are not aware that a refusal to do so can lead to serious consequences like fines and possibly even imprisonment.

Millions of students are expected to resume their education in schools and colleges across Spain this week, but many parents have already stated they will definitely NOT be taking their children back - citing fears their kids could catch the coronavirus.

A magistrate in the Contentious Chamber of the

Higher Court of Justice of Murcia and national spokesperson for Judges and Judges for Democracy, explains that “parents have the obligation to take their children to receive an education. For this reason, those who encourage truancy face jail time, fines and in the worst of cases, the loss of parental authority.”

There is a Penal Code that mentions non-compliance with the obligation to educate children leads to imprisonment of three to six months.

The magistrate, Ascensión Martín, compares these

events with “when someone does not want their son to have a blood transfusion and a judge agrees that they do,” and says she doesn’t understand parents who “now tear their clothes and say their children cannot go to school when the children have spent the whole summer in the parks, playing with other children.”

The magistrate added that education “is better in person - if it were only virtual the situation would be horrible since not everyone has an iPad or the Internet or a parent to explain Chemistry.”

Artist finances rescue boat SECRETIVE and now hugely collected street artist Banksy is said to be funding a new rescue boat, the Louise Michel which first appeared in its current guise off the coast of Spain in mid-August.

It’s named after a French anarchist and is brightly

coloured, mainly pink, with a typical artwork of a young girl in a life vest holding a red heart-shaped buoy.

Already it has rescued more than 100 men, women and children who were spotted in trouble sailing in flimsy inflatables

across the Mediterranean from Africa.

It is assumed that the artist’s involvement is restricted to decoration and financing of the former French patrol boat Suroît which now flies under a German flag and that he is not part of the crew.

Back to lockdown

ISOLATED: Valencian town of Benigànim PUBLIC health authorities in the Valencian town of Benigànim have imposed a lockdown in the area for 14 calendar days as a result of an increase of infections caused by Covid that the town is currently experiencing.

Figures had been much higher than expected and rose from 34.24 per 100,000 inhabitants in the week ending August 16, to 994.46 in the last seven days.

Councillor, Ana Barceló, has pointed out that “It was a difficult decision, but a necessary one.”

The limitations came into force on Monday, August 31, and entailed the con-

finement of the municipality, that is, the entry and exit of people are restricted except in several cases: going to the doctor, going to work, returning to the usual place of residence, caring for the elderly, minors or dependents, force majeure or any other activity of a similar nature.

The circulation by roads that pass or cross the territory of Benigànim will be allowed, as long as they have their origin and destination outside of it.

Likewise, face-to-face educational and training activity is suspended in all centres and levels, including nursery schools.

Hotel occupancy Boy Airlifted

HOTEL occupancy in Valencia Community fell 70 per cent in July compared to the same month last year.

And the Covid-19 pandemic has seen the average income per room slump 60 per cent, while the number of overnight stays dropped from three million to just 1,129,971 compared to 2019.

According to the data, released by the hotel association, Hosbec, Benidorm was the hardest hit in the community, with 85 per cent less occupancy, recording just 192,061 overnight stays during the high season.

As well as a sharp fall in occupancy and income, the Benidorm-based association recorded a 50 per cent reduction across the community in the number of employees who have returned to work within the hotel sector.

In Benidorm, this figure is higher, with 2,003 people employed in hotels in the resort, representing a 69 per cent drop on the same period last year.

Valencia Province has seen a 61 per cent drop in overnight stays, with 43 per cent less workforce, and in Gandia the figures for July are 62.7 per cent and 46.8 per cent respectively.

On Sunday, August 23, Benidorm associations representing the tourist industry held a peaceful protest in the resort, at-

tended by more than 1,000 people, in response to recent restrictions announced by the Spanish government on August 14.

Nightclubs, discotheques and similar venues have been ordered to close for the forseeable future, while bars and restaurants must close at 1am, with no new patrons after midnight.

Spanish Health Minister, Salvador Illa also announced a blanket ban on smoking in public if a two-metre distance between smokers and others cannot be maintained.

One of the organisers, independent shopkeepers’ association, AICO, said the demonstration was prompted by the government’s continual absurdities and lack of organisation or planning during the health crisis,” and added that past and present policies are penalising businesses while burdening them with debts.

They and other associations have joined forces to call for a meeting “as a matter of urgency,” with PM Pedro Sanchez and the president of the Valencian Community, Ximo Puig.

They want to see a manifesto agreed by all entities, relating to “social, labour and economic matters,” implemented immediately, “in order to ensure the survival in the short and medium term of the business fabric of all sectors.”

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Project Costa DID you realise during the Covid19 lockdown that you don’t need so much ‘stuff’?

If so, there is a fantastic project on the Costa Blanca that could make an incredible difference with your cast-offs.

The objective of Project Costa, a non-religious and non-profit organisation, is to dress and feed the less fortunate on the Costa Blanca, as well as offering a rehabilitation programme for up to three people at a time in a half way home they are refurbishing in Benitachell.

The team want to get alcoholics and drug addicts off the streets and back into society.

Baby steps is the name of the game, founder Arne Soeten told Euro Weekly News, acknowledging that while they - Arne, Matty, Steve, Inge and Caroline - have a dream to help those in need, it will

take time and support.

“We are renting the property in Benitachell and are currently cleaning and painting it to make it a halfway home and a soup kitchen.

“We are starting from scratch, pumping a lot of our own money and time into this project,” said Arne, who together with Matty, has experience of living on the streets and wants to give something back to the community.

“We want to start by feeding the homeless, giving out clothes and sleeping bags. As we get to know them, we will be able to see who wants a second chance at life and we will help them get back into society.

“If we can help one person achieve that, then the project is a success for me.”

the only ones out there who want to change their lives. They need someone to reach out a hand.”

The initial goal is to start handing out food and clothing twice a week.

The next goal is to select three suitable candidates to work on their life situation today.

Advantages of making a Will in Spain

WE CAN HELP YOU

In this article we will review the advantages of creating a will in Spain if you area foreign citizen or an expatriate with properties or assets in Spain.

EUROPEAN UNION regulation 650/2012 regarding successions and inheritance is applicable to Spain, even for nationals from countries which are

not part of the EU. This establishes that the applicable Law to the succession will be the one where the deceased had their residence at the time

of death unless it can be clearly proven that the deceased had stronger ties to another country.

The regulation however also allows that a Will may establish that the law to be applied will be that of the nationality of the testator or testatrix.

Why is it important to decide which Law will apply to my inheritance?

The law in some countries offers more freedom to establish a Will than others.

Specifically, Spanish legislation is very restrictive in this regard, since it forces the deceased to leave most of the estate to the so-called forced heirs (usually children or descendants, or failing this, parents or grandparents), regardless of what is stated in the Will of the testator.

The perfect counterpoint would be English legislation,

which gives the testator almost full freedom to dispose of the estate as they wish.

If you are a resident in Spain and you do not execute a Will in which you expressly state that you want the law applicable to your succession to be the one of your nationality, you must take into account that Spanish law will automatically apply, as it would be your last residence.

Therefore be aware that some of the provisions you want or stated within your Will, for example, in favour of your spouse, a friend, or a nephew, could be null and void; which is why the Will must be drawn up correctly.

Why is it important that the Will be granted in Spain?

You must take into account that, in order to be

valid in Spain, foreign documents are subject to some requirements that could prolong the process.

Also it is worth bearing in mind that the inheritance tax payment in Spain must be made within a maximum period of six months, extendable by a further six.

In addition, you should be aware that one of the essential procedures for the validity of foreign documents in Spain is the sworn translation into the Spanish language, which will make the inheritance process more expensive.

Consequently, if you are a resident in Spain, or simply own assets in Spain, it is advisable to make a Spanish Will to speed up the procedures, and most importantly, reduce costs.

Making a Will in Spain could also be useful for tax purposes.

Creating a Will could help you with regards to tax planning, which might reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax to be paid in the future.

Within the Will, you can state, (if the applicable law allows it), to whom you want to leave your assets, establish substitutions, trusts, etc ... Good planning for Spanish Inheritance Tax requires specialised advice.

If you are a resident in Spain, or have assets in Spain, it is advisable to make a Will in this country.

According to the OCU data, Valencia has a ratio of 35 bikes per 10,000 inhabitants - five times more than Madrid.

In addition to the ‘extensive’ cycling network, Valencians rated positively the public rental system and the specific parking areas available.

When it came to improvements which could be made, they suggested

The OCU, which promotes the use of the bicycle with its ‘Go green’ campaign, claims that 22 per cent of those who do not travel by bike in any city would do so if there were sufficient infrastructure, including safe parking.

This backed up by the fact 29 per cent of those questioned have had a bicycle stolen in the last five years.

Some 64 per cent of participants agree with a statement in the survey that their city council should install more cycle paths.

Two Local Xirivella Police officers rescued a 21year-old Venezuelan who suffered burns and was poisoned by smoke when he went down the stairs to flee the fire.

They discovered the victim amidst thick black smoke on the first floor.

Three fire crews and several Local and National Police patrols were at the scene, together with SAMU units who transferred the two most seriously injured - a woman, 35 and a 26year-old man to La Fe

Hospital in Valencia.

Political Viewpoint from Spain

by DAMON MITCHELL THE Spanish Parliament’s summer recess is over. President Pedro Sanchez has a difficult couple of months in front of him; he will have to deal with the pandemic, national budget, and possible vote of no confidence.

The media has spread during the summer recess, worrying Covid-19 figures. The spike in the numbers seems to coincide with the regional governments imposing stricter rules concerning the use of face masks. The government will have to study if face masks provoke a viral load (amount of virus in the blood), which in turn affect the PCR tests which are screened on the general public.

No other country in Europe has seen the pandemic figures rocket like the Spanish and most of the European countries have relaxed rules compared to Spain concerning the use of face masks. Meanwhile, the first agenda on the restart has been the

GOVERNMENT: Madrid’s Congreso de los Diputados. new school year, which has left many parents worried, due to the constantly increasing cases which are broadcasted by the news organisations.

The key to securing the national budget is for Sanchez to keep together his minority coalition government as the Podemos party has made it very clear to Sanchez’s Party (PSOE) that if

they reach an agreement with Ciudadanos, they will consider in which terms they will back the budget. Moreover, the agreement with Ciudadanos would also anger the separatist Catalan parties who on more than one occasion have warned Mr Sanchez that they are not interested in the governability of Spain.

Before the summer recess, the right-wing party VOX stated in congress that they would try to instigate a vote of no confidence, however, this seems very unlikely to progress. Nevertheless, the PSOE have their attention on the regional community of Madrid where they won the last elections, but fell far from the majority needed to rule.

It seems that the good relationship that Ciudadanos and PSOE have had over the last few months could culminate in a possible vote of no confidence against the PP party which governs the community.

What could happen next both epidemiologically and economically depends on how Pedro Sanchez deals politically with the upcoming agendas. Sanchez has to try to curb the pandemic, without jeopardising the already battered economy.

However, he seems to have washed his hands, leaving the communities to deal with the

problems. And as an example, the magistrate José Mariño didn’t permit the strict restrictions that the Murcia government tried to impose, stating that it was not proportionate that because 0.2 per cent of the population is infected, it doesn’t mean that the rest of the 99.80 per cent of the healthy Murcia people have to be restricted.

Moreover, the European Community has bailed out Spain with €140 billion which should help Mr Sanchez secure the national budget.

However, Europe has also requested austerity measures which have dwindled the ambitious social agenda that the coalition originally announced. In addition, Mr Sanchez’s constant flirtings with Ciudadanos has also provoked unrest in many of Podemos’ leaders. Therefore, there is no consensus even within the government which leaves Mr Sanchez with many ongoing issues to get to grips with.

Calpe NEWS La Fossa wreck exposed SEVERAL swimmers at Calpe’s La Fossa beach have hurt themselves on the ribs of a wrecked fishing boat this year.

Cesar Romero, who has holidayed in Calpe for the last 18 years with his family, is a keen snorkeller and already knew of the wreck’s existence.

This lies 20 metres from the shore at a depth of two metres, but became more exposed after Storm Gloria bat-

tered the coast last January.

Romero told the local Spanish media that initially he warned the La Fossa lifesavers about the wreck but they explained that there was nothing they could do about it. It was the town hall’s responsibility to put up a warning sign, they said, so he took underwater photos and also videoed the wreck.

He then showed them to Calpe’s mayor Ana Sala, who told her that other swim-

mers had hurt themselves on the exposed ribs.

The mayor has since announced that warning signs would be put up although it has already been pointed out that the wreck could soon become a tourist draw for snorkellers.

The boat was one of three fishing boats that sank in 1926 off the La Fossa beach, a natural mooring that had been in use since Roman times.

POBLA D’IFAC: Excavating traces of the settlement’s earliest settlers.

AS they have for the last 16 summers, archaeologists have explored the Pobla d’Ifac site.

A team of six volunteer students worked throughout August, taking part in the ongoing programme to consolidate and protect the site.

This year’s excavations concentrated on the mediaeval settlement’s burial place, locating 11 new tombs, bringing the total to 67.

The new finds included

the remains of children, no older than seven, as well as adults. All had been carefully laid to rest in linen winding-sheets with crossed arms, and one still wore a bronze ring decorated with a crenelated tower.

All would have been Ifac settlers, the earliest of whom arrived there at the end of the 13th century, on the orders of Jaime II. Many came from Aragon repopulating the area that had been reclaimed from the Moors and laying the foundations for what even-

tually became the Valencian Community.

Calpe mayor Ana Sala visited the site recently, accompanied by local councillors to see first-hand the advances that have been made during this latest campaign.

“Each year the Pobla d’Ifac excavations give us more valuable information about our forebears and origins,” Sala said. “It is a treasure that belongs to our municipal heritage that we must protect and make known.”

Homage paid in music CALPE Town Hall and the Union Musical Calp-Ifach organised an outdoor concert in memory of all Covid-19 victims.

The event in the Plaza Mayor was sponsored by the Alicante’s provincial council, the Diputacion, and included in the 25th Campanya de Musica als Pobles programme.

As well as the Covid-19 victims, the concert was also a homage to all the associations, groups and private individuals who made donations or gave their time to those in need.

Teulada Moraira NEWS TEULADA-MORAIRA’S Local Police were kept even more busy than usual over the last few days.

First they were called on to break up one of the infamous botellon outdoor drinking sessions that the young - Covid-19 notwithstanding - are so reluctant to give up.

Alerted by residents who were complaining about the noise, Local Police officers had no problem in dissolving the gathering of around 100 young people massed on El Portet beach.

They later expressed ‘perplexity’ that fiestas like these, which in the past were normal although prohibited, should still be so popular ‘in these particular circumstances.’

As well as another 11 callouts relating to more complaints regarding excessive noise and two more linked to health situa-

Beach watch JAVEA Town Hall’s Beaches department will continue controlling access to Granadella, Portixol and Ambolo until Sunday, September 6. Limiting the numbers allowed on these beaches usually ends on August 31 but the town hall announced restrictions would continue for another week to ensure maximum-capacity regulations introduced to halt the spread of Covid-19 were respected.

Javea-Denia NEWS Taking on the Ministry JAVEA, like Denia, is opposing an Environment Ministry ban on fishing techniques where nets are in contact with the s e a b e d i n p ro t e c t e d marine areas.

It would mean eliminating the Tresmall method practised on this part of the coast and Javea Town Hall and the local Fishing Guild have agreed on the wording of their appeal to be approved at the next council meeting.

“Any regulations aimed at a more rational, respectful and sustainable use of natural resources in Javea and the Marina Alta are good news,” a town hall statement declared.

“Neverthless this cannot

FISHING SECTOR: Essential to Javea’s economy.

Keeping them out of trouble MUNICIPAL employees have been at work on local schools, removing walls and extending classrooms.

Libraries and laboratories have also been converted into more classrooms while washrooms have been enlarged, announced the town hall’s Education councillor Montse Villaverde.

With schools due to reopen this coming Monday, almost exactly six months after they closed shortly before the State of Alarm was announced, the authorities are determined that pupils should be kept as safe as possible from the coronavirus.

School lunches will be served in classrooms, break times - where pupils will remain in their own bubbles - are to be staggered.

The town hall is also supplying every school with 50 litres of disinfectants each week, Villaverde said.

put at risk activities like our traditional fishing practices that are of great economic, social and cultural valued,” the statement continued.

Earlier, Javea’s mayor Jose Chulvi and Marta Bañuls, the councillor responsible for Fisheries had met representatives from the Fishing Guild to assure them that they had the town hall’s backing.

“At the town hall we are clearly committed to protecting the environment.

But we are even more committed to the survival of the local fishing sector which is essential to our town,” the motion said.

“Furthermore we consider that these issues are easily compatible, especially taking into account the size of our traditional Tresmall fleet and its commitment to good professional practices.”

Family business TWO Britons, father and son, were arrested and 422 marihuana plants confiscated when the Guardia Civil raided their Javea home. Both face drugs charges and defrauding a power company with an illicit electricity hook-up.

FINANCE BUSINESS EXTRA Eurozone negative balance THE European Central Bank (ECB) operates what it calls a Target 2 account in its settlement system which balances transfers between the Central Banks of Eurozone member countries. Strong economies such as Germany and Holland have positive balances with money owed by weaker countries such as Spain and Italy. In fact, those two between them owe about €1 trillion to the other members and this can currently be managed, but a problem will arise if any country wants to leave the Eurozone or it breaks up.

Repsol product AS oil companies prepare for the inevitable phasing out of petrol and diesel, so they are looking for alternatives ways of using their product in a way which significantly reduces harmful emissions. Spanish giant Repsol is to invest €32 million in creating Spain’s first plant able to produce high impact resistance polymers. It will be based in an existing factory in Tarragona and because of its lightness yet strength upon impact, the product is very useful in the automotive industry for bumpers and door panels.

Reduced nuts THE coronavirus effect has hit the price of nuts which is reportedly down by 40 per cent due to the fact that airlines have drastically reduced their purchases as have bars so this should soon see a drop in retail prices.

Lack of Spanish octopus FISHERMEN specialising in catching octopus in Spanish waters have nev­ er had such a poor catch according to representatives of the San Mar­ tiño Fishermen’s Association in Gali­ cia.

Speaking to the Spanish press they indicated that this year’s catch is just 10 per cent of what was expected which will push prices up for this

very popular cephalopod.

The octopus has a short life­span of just two years and under Spanish law, any caught which weigh less than one kilo must be returned to the water and normally they exceed that weight when they are about one year old.

Due to their short life span, a change in water temperature, avail­

able food or other factors can affect their breeding pattern and it may be that they are simply maturing late.

For years it was thought that it was not possible to farm octopus, but a breakthrough discovery in 2018 means that it may become a commercial option within the next few years if the wild species contin­ ue to decline.

Can they use the pool?

I am the president of a community in the Valencian region. Our administra­ tor informs me that a precedent has been set by a judge in this region which ruled that a community can stop debtors and their renters from using the swimming pool if community fees are not paid. Can you con­ firm this?

B I (Costa Blanca)

YOU AND THE LAW IN SPAIN The Alicante provincial court ruled in 2016 that a community may prohibit debtors from using the pool by passing an in­ ternal regulation. This decision does not es­ tablish a precedent for other courts to cite. In fact, it goes against the general opinion. The DGRN, which oversees the work of Registries and Notary offices, has ruled that the only pos­ sible way to establish such prohibition is by in­ cluding it in the original charter document of the community. This charter can be amended by a unanimous vote of the members. The debtor has already lost his vote in the AGM but courts have ruled that for such an impor­ tant vote requiring unanimity he may cast his vote. He will probably vote against the prohi­ bition.

SIR RICHARD BRANSON has agreed the Virgin Group will inject £400 million (€440 million) of new cash into a £1.2 billion (€1.3 billion) res­ cue plan to save the Virgin Atlantic Airline.

Creditors including share­ holders, banks, aircraft own­ ers and suppliers owed money were faced with a complete collapse of the air­ line by the beginning of Sep­ tember, so they have agreed the new plans.

If approved by the High Court in London, the plan should allow Virgin Atlantic 18 months in which to re­ cover.

IMPORT TARIFFS: Boris Johnson caught crabs in Scotland.

DAVID SEARL

Virgin Atlantic deal

WHILST Boris Johnson caught crabs in Scotland, a joint state­ ment from the European Union and the US government suggest­ ed that the EU had caught a real deal to eliminate certain tariffs in­ cluding those on US shellfish.

The statement issued by United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and European Union Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan said that they had reached agreement on a package of tariff reductions that will increase mar­ ket access for the EU by €135 mil­ lion ($160 million).

Under the agreement, the EU will eliminate tariffs on imports of US live and frozen lobster prod­ ucts. US exports of these products to the EU were over $111 million (€94 million) in 2017. The EU will eliminate these tariffs on a Most Favoured Nation (MFN) basis, retroactive to begin August 1, 2020. The United States in return

will reduce by 50 per cent its tariff rates on some products exported by the EU to include certain pre­ pared meals, certain crystal glass­ ware, surface preparations, pro­ pellant powders, cigarette lighters and lighter parts.

“As part of improving EU­US re­ lations, this mutually beneficial agreement will bring positive re­ sults to the economies of both the United States and the European Union.

“We intend for this package of tariff reductions to mark just the beginning of a process that will lead to additional agreements that create more free, fair, and reciprocal transatlantic trade,” said Ambassador Lighthizer and Commissioner Hogan.

Whilst Britain still tries to ob­ tain its own special deal with the USA, this is the first tariff deal done between the EU and USA in more than 20 years.

Rolls Royce asset sale THE company that manufac­ tures Rolls Royce engines has suffered considerably from the pandemic and the lock­ down and is looking to sell a number of subsidiaries to raise €2.2 billion.

Marked for disposal is Span­ ish based engine and turbine manufacturer ITP Aero and with a €2.19 billion loan due to be repaid by October 2021 it needs cash as quickly as pos­ sible as well as a return to pro­ duction of engines.

With 4,000 staff lost so far, it expects to shed a further 5,000 across the group this year.

Carrefour plans takeover THE French Supermarket Group Car­ refour is spending an estimated €78 million to take over 172 Supersol stores in Andalucia and Madrid.

It intends to convert them to Ex­ press or Market stores and some will

become rebranded as part of its dis­ count Supeco collection.

Many Supersol stores appear to have become ‘tired’ with little inno­ vation or renovation and Carrefour expects to be able to improve sales

and increase footfall as well as intro­ ducing pick up points for online or­ ders.

As Spain becomes a more impor­ tant market for Carrefour, this is its first major Spanish acquisition since

it took over 36 Eroski outlets as long ago as 2016.

The purchase will have to receive formal approval from the regulators, but it is hoped that the sale will be completed by the end of this year.

Latest currency news Over the last month we’ve seen fairly jittery trading in the currency market as concerns about the tra­ jectory of the global economic re­ covery grow.

The pound performed fairly well in August, with the GBP/EUR ex­ change rate advancing from lows of €1.09 to highs of €1.11.

GBP/USD has also pushed higher in the last four weeks, with the pair­ ing rallying from $1.28 to $1.32.

EUR/USD’s performance has been less consistent, with the euro fluctuating between $1.17 and $1.19.

What’s been happening?

CURRENCY MARKET: Concerns over the global economic recovery.

Over the course of August the pound managed to advance against several of its rivals despite signifi­ cant hurdles at home and abroad.

Renewed Brexit jitters and con­ cerns about an impending UK em­ ployment crisis limited Sterling’s potential for gains, but the cur­ rency still closed out the month higher against both the euro and

the US dollar.

While reduced demand for safe­ haven currencies weighed on the US dollar for the first half of the month, with USD hitting a two­year low mid­August, the currency was quick to bounce back.

Ongoing concerns about the glob­ al economic outlook and future risks to international growth have driven

investors away from higher­risk cur­ rencies, giving the US dollar room to recover some of its recent losses.

Finally, the euro has been losing ground on fears that the resurgence of coronavirus cases in Europe could hamper the Eurozone’s recov­ ery.

The negative impact of the resur­ gence was highlighted in August’s preliminary PMIs for the Eurozone, which detailed a stalling in growth.

What do you need to look out for?

The pound’s uptrend could come to an end in September. The wind­ ing down of the UK’s furlough scheme is expected to trigger a wave of new redundancies and a sharp spike in the unemployment rate.

Such an outcome is likely to weigh on demand for GBP. Demand for the pound will also

be undermined if progress in Brexit negotiations remains limited.

However, if the coronavirus situa­ tion in Europe deteriorates further (weakening the euro in the process) the GBP/EUR exchange rate’s losses may be limited.

Over in the US, political risk will start having more impact on the US dollar in the coming weeks as cam­ paigning ramps up ahead of Novem­ ber’s presidential election.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

3 - 9 September 2020

EWN 37

We are all so bewildered

I DO believe I’m actually losing it.

Alright alright. I can hear the cackles of agreement from here! No, usually I am pretty resilient but I’ve recently begun to realise this whole Covid thing is finally getting to me.

It’s not that I’m bored. With three radio shows a week, a blurb to churn out, six cats, a dog and a home to run, boredom is undoubtedly not the problem.

I also count my blessings that I am easily in touch with family and friends.

So why is it suddenly all going so mentally pear shaped? It’s not only me experiencing this reaction, I’ve also noticed an ever increasing number of colleagues and friends, many of whom have been quite positive in the past have been posting their misgivings and doubts on social media.

Well obviously the threat to our health, the masking, social distancing, travel restrictions and financial worries are grinding us all down, but it goes far deeper than that. I believe the main reason so many of us are sinking into such a mental state of despair is that we don’t have an end date. It is a

CURRENT NIGHTMARE: When will it all end? proven fact, that many of the mental breakdowns, unrest and violence in our prisons, often have a direct link to the date of a prisoner’s release.

Apart from those who will never be freed, offenders never know the actual date of their release until it is determined by either a judge, or a parole board. The result is a kind of limbo existence. A period of uncertainty as to the future, which if it goes on too long

can lead to all kinds of problems, both mental and physical - and we are experiencing exactly the same trauma.

‘Stone walls do not a prison make.’

We are in fact all serving a term with no end date. There is nothing definite in the future to look forward too.

If we were told this whole nightmare would be over on say July 6 next year, we would certainly moan and gripe about how long we had to wait, but

at least it would be something definite. We could start to cross the dates off on our calendars. We could begin to make plans. We could count sleeps!

As it is we have no idea when, or even how this nightmare will end.

Slowly but surely we are being worn down and mentally exhausted by the uncertainty of it all; plus the fact, that with the unprecedented nature of the situation, it is glaringly obvious our leaders are as bewildered as we all are.

Is it all a conspiracy? Well, we are borrowing trillions from someone out there. Are these faceless individuals gleefully breaking out the Dom and Coronas, congratulating themselves that their dastardly plot is going even better than they anticipated? What worries me is the person that finally does deliver the planet an ‘end date’ could well be hailed as the new Messiah.

Perhaps thats the whole idea.

Something’s rotten in the state of Poland

BARRY DUKE WHENEVER I meet up in Benidorm with my Polish friend Krzysztof the conversation turns to the latest lunacy emanating from his former homeland, fast becoming as much of a theocratic basket case as Iran or Pakistan.

At our last meeting I laughed in disbelief when he informed me that Poland’s Department of Agriculture was the latest government department to attack LGBT communities. It claimed that gays tend to be vegetarians or vegans, hellbent on destroying the country’s meat industry.

This is borne out by an article in ‘Notes from Poland’ which reported that a 2019 documentary film revealed that while veganism ‘may seem innocent’, it is in fact an ‘unethical and immoral ideology’ seeking to bring about an ‘anti-Christian and anti-human revolution’ by ‘taking apart social, cultural, economic

Polish far-right leader Robert Bakiewicz brandishing a crucifix and demanding a ‘pure Catholic state.’ and religious structures.’

The group behind the film is part of a network of ultra-conservative Catholic organisations that has led campaigns in Poland against a wide range of perceived threats including environmentalists, homosexuals … and even cyclists!

with the artist’s permission, was created by Aleksandra Herzyk, and perfectly shows how blame culture is engulfing the country, with the ‘gay agenda’ now being held up as Enemy No 1.

The weaponising of religion by neo-fascists has reached such fervour that, in August, dozens of authors, artists and scholars expressed

outrage at the hostility being directed toward Polish LGBT people by the country’s President Andrzej Duda and other far-right politicians.

In a letter of ‘solidarity and protest,’ they wrote to Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, calling on the EU to defend human rights values that were ‘being blatantly violat-

ed in Poland.’

It said: ‘Homophobic aggression in Poland is growing because it is condoned by the ruling party, which has chosen sexual minorities as a scapegoat with no regard for the safety and well-being of citizens.’

When the UK began experiencing a large influx of Polish immigrants following the EU’s 2004 enlargement, the RCC in Britain was jubilant, believing that the newcomers - coming from a deeply Catholic country - would inject new life into the church.

After reading a report about the church’s optimism, I approached a number of Polish friends, and asked whether they were among those upon whom the church was pinning its hopes.

All said ‘absolutely not!’ The general view was that they’d escaped a country crippled by Catholicism, and were absolutely done with religion.

After the disastrous Brexit vote, which unleashed a terrifying wave of xenophobia, many Poles felt compelled to pack up and return only to find their homeland more in the grip of religious insanity than it ever was before.

CONSULAR MATTERS IN these troubled times it seems that we live from crisis to crisis. Many citizens have found holiday rentals are a way to increase family income by renting rooms in their own houses; or their second homes, to tourists compared to those who use this possibility to hide a business activity. The abuse by those who act irregularly offering services more typical of a hotel business or ‘Bed & Breakfast’ rather than a private activity of renting rooms in your own home, has led to the need to regulate this ‘activity’ in view of the lack of a special law to resolve this type of situation.

The Spanish Treasury took part in the matter and forced the platforms (Airbnb, Vbro, Booking ... etc) to promptly report all the income obtained by the owners as a result of said activity and now it will be the municipalities who

Are holiday rentals being banned?

BED & BREAKFAST: Regulations are necessary.

will claim their share, in the form of licences or permits to develop that business activity.

The hen that lays the gold-

en eggs of vacation rentals is being encircled, due to the multitude of problems or conflicts that have arisen on some occasions due to the

lack of regulation. The law is behind the reality and despite the fact that after the reform of the law in 2019 that incorporated the possibility that the Communities of Owners can prohibit, limit or condition vacation rentals, the truth is that this measure has not been very successful in requiring large majorities to take the agreement, because in the end it is a limitation to your ability to use your private property within your own home.

And now, suddenly, we find ourselves with the surprising news that in Barcelona the renting of a room in your own house to tourists has been prohibited. Indeed, the government of Catalonia has left this possibility in the hands

of each city council and Barcelona has been the first to do so. In this way, for a year, no one else will be able to request a licence to share their home with tourists. And this news has spread like wildfire without perhaps understanding exactly what has actually been prohibited.

In any case, the owners of tourist apartments can continue with their rentals if they are already registered. A new rule to try to prevent some property owners take advantage of camouflaging an illegal hotel or ‘Bed & Breakfast’ activity by renting rooms as a private holiday home.

Fine for lighting up in the street

DEAR Euro Weekly News, Hi all, a big thank you for the pick-up point at ALGI supermarket on Calle Gibraltar in Calpe. It is great to have our favourite free newspaper back in our area again. We missed it during the lockdown. Online is ok but it is nice to have a paper to hold.

Best wishes Dave Stockton Calpe

UK ministers fast-track mass Covid-19 vaccine rollout plan

Seeing sense Dear Euro Weekly News, I am a permanent resident in Mallorca. I would take the vaccine. It’s a matter of common sense really. Some protection is better than no protection. Your article about the vaccine (August 9). The English waiter should be sacked as a potential health hazard to others.

Yours sincerely Phil Small

OUR VIEW Better safe than sorry PROTECTING the children of the world surely must be one of the most important things for many people, parent or not, something that makes us control our own habits and ways that we act.

After all, as the song says “I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way.”

Up until not long ago, news centred on a ‘child’, Greta Thunberg, lecturing us on how we must change our ways to protect future generations from climate change.

Now we are faced with the confusion of doing what we are told is the best for our children, masking them, to keep them safe from Covid 19 or not forcing them to be masked and saving them from the psychological stresses and possible longlasting health damage that may occur.

Many questions have been asked, from the simplest, how will I get my child to physically keep the mask on?

What if they refuse? How can I monitor them keeping it on or keeping it clean? To the more serious, will some kind of stigma evolve from hiding their faces? Will it create problems with important communication as they grow? Is it a distraction from learning?

We wish somebody had the answers to both of these sides of questioning. Right now, it is an added fear to the ones we have about keeping ourselves safe.

We are forced to wear these masks when the packaging they come in tells us they cannot stop a spread of the virus.

But isn’t it better to be safe than sorry?

In the UK it is now compulsory for schoolchildren in higher education to wear masks in communal areas, but they do not need to in classrooms. Surely this bit of give and take or compromise is something we can handle for a while?

Let’s push forward and make sure our children are the future and Covid becomes a thing of the past.

No bullies Hi Euro Weekly, I am so glad to see that you are actually accepting requests from readers about what news they would like to read. Unfortunately, it is true that bad news sells well and in reading your customers’ comments it is ironic that the ones that receive so many reactions on Facebook are the ones people want to argue about.

Anyway, a little debate doesn’t hurt anyone as long as people realise it need not be personal. I do see some people going too far and wish they would just take it easy on each other, it does sometimes creep very close to bullying. I hope you have your best watchdogs at hand to dispose of those overstepping the line. It’s at times like these we should all have each other backs, not snapping at each other’s heels.

Downing Street daily briefings will be televised solely ‘on merit’ warns the BBC and Sky News Interesting that Sky and BBC will decide what the public need to know, still haven’t got over getting things so wrong over Brexit and the last General Election.

“Scared for life” - Harry McGuire speaks out Anyone who visits Europe must realise the police are much more stricter than their counterparts in the UK. He is a deluded overpriced football player.

RM

Say it loud Dear Euro Weekly News, Well done Leapy, nail on the head. I’m still sick and tired of criminals and thieves telling us how we ‘The all too silent majority’ should behave. Whether it’s mayors of London or other ‘Woke’ politicians and corporations telling us.

Simon Briscoe, Dorset

Sevilla scooter crash If they are going to be about, they should be tested, insured etc.

But tbh, I really would like to see them banned. It’s ok them putting themselves at risk, it’s their choice, but as we know they’re endangering others.

DS

Crafty plan Hola Leapy, The news seems to be full of the difficulties UK holidaymakers will have when they return if they plan to holiday in Spain. So, they are now crowded on to the beaches in the South West and the like and of course spending their holiday money in the UK instead of Spain.

It's not rocket science but a crafty plan to boost UK coffers, in my opinion.

Stay safe, Shirley Hunt

NORA JOHNSON BREAKING VIEWS Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist.

To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

GOOD morning, class. No talking at the back, please.

I’d like to begin with another few moans.

I did a straw poll among my friends (only the finest of scientific and journalistic methods for this column, folks) about their biggest gripes. Top of the list: M&S and the BBC - and their latest problems.

First up, M&S (and its 7,000 job losses) where the only items I buy now are plain, unobtrusive items like tights and, err, knickers. Anything that doesn’t scream ‘M&S’.

Their core clothing strength has always been their multiple sizes and lengths (attracting those who want short, medium or long). Something to fit everyone, and good quality items in classic styles that fit the lessthan-perfect figure perfectly and British made, preferably.

M&S should stick to those core principles. Not try to please everyone all the time

3 - 9 September 2020

M&S GETTING THEIR KNICKERS IN A TWIST M&S: How is it going to survive the 21st century?

and frankly not succeeding in pleasing anyone at any time.

M&S should be leading the way in producing British-made, non-fast fashion, good quality high street staples. If they cost a bit more, so be it. But they should be worth the price because they are timeless classics.

Currently, they’re making overembellished tat and charging too much for it. No wonder customers are looking elsewhere.

As for the BBC, reports that the BBC’s main evening bulletins could be obsolete within a decade as more people turn to their phones and iPlayer for

news comes as no surprise.

Slowly damning itself into extinction, the BBC is politically-biased and rapidly losing out to others as regards quality, productivity and general coverage.

Much like M&S, the BBC spends too much time chasing

an audience/customer who is not going to go there while taking traditional supporters for granted. Neither organisation has learned its lesson. Result: declining interest in what they have to offer.

Unlike the BBC, M&S doesn’t have the cash cow of a compulsory licence fee, however.

But one thing’s certain: both institutions need to start thinking long and hard about how they’re simply going to survive in the 21st century...

YOUR STARS

Famous quote

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS

“Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.”

Jim Morrison

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Being asked to take on a new and demanding task this week may see you wishing that you had been less visible.

However, don’t think of the hard work involved but rather the brilliant outcome. You will be popular.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) An interest in technology is not something new to you. What is great, though, is that the penny has suddenly dropped. This week sees you understanding more and wanting to know more. This is good for both your work and social life.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) An urge to get moving must mean that autumn is round the corner. Certainly, you are questioning where you want to be in the months ahead. A house move or work placement may be on your mind. At what seems to be an unsettled time, decisions need to be made and worked towards.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Be aware that not everyone is willing to work as hard as you.

When approached by someone wanting you to trust them, be sure of their motives. Do what you feel is right but remain firmly in control, especially financially. It may not be the time to make a particular move, although others think that it is.

There’s no problem with discussing things and talking them through. Keep up your healthy habits because you need lots of energy, especially at the weekend.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Social demands are made, but try to shuffle them to the weekend. Be diplomatic or someone close could become irritated. Keep an eye on the small print because something fundamental may have changed in a long-standing arrangement. Suddenly, at the weekend, you are thrust into the limelight.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Career and home are in disharmony but a bit of compromise soon sorts things out. You don't like playing the ‘bad guy,’ but honesty is also important to you. Speaking your mind can be liberating although, initially, you may see it as a nuisance and embarrassing. A meeting at the weekend is both confusing and disarming.

Credit: Twitter

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Someone with a larger-than-life imagination makes you smile but that was not their intention.

Try to be diplomatic and steer them in a different direction.

Some feelings of loneliness will not be assuaged by working more. Perhaps it is time to consider taking on a pet or giving a current pet more attention.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Sometimes, you find it hard to do things just for the pure enjoyment of it. Realise that not everything has to have a purpose or a profit. Look round this week and seek out something that will please your senses and bring a smile to your lips. Make this a week when you live for the moment and give full rein to your imagination.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Contact with a less than ideal situation makes you realise just how lucky you are. It has been clear that the weeks are changeable and your situation at the moment far from settled.

Pity those whose day-to-day life is completely predictable. As someone who values an element of challenge, it is enjoyable to know that unexpected times are ahead.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) This being a family oriented week, much of it may be spent getting together with relatives and going over old times.

Perhaps you are compiling a photo album for older members of the family or vice versa.

Be aware that leopards do not change their spots, they merely hide them. Those who demand your trust need a cool checking out and don't be afraid to say ‘no’ as and when necessary.

Finances are well aspected this week with a new idea proving both worthwhile in terms of your time and profitable.

An exciting invitation may set tongues wagging and make a loved one jealous. You, meanwhile, are quite bemused by the whole thing. What comes out of this week is that you are of considerable value to others.

The mere thought of you not being around sends ripples through your social circle.

ROBERT Downey Jr brings one of literature’s most peculiar characters to life in an exciting reimagining of the classic tale of the man who could talk to animals, Dr Dolittle.

The eccentric doctor and veterinarian of Queen Victoria’s England locks himself away behind the high walls of his manor with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company. However, when the young queen falls ill, a reluctant Dolittle must set sail on an adventure to a mythical island in search of a cure, discovering wondrous new creatures on his journey.

2014 - Comedy Comedian Joan Rivers, dies age 81 in a New York hospital, a week after suffering cardiac arrest while undergoing a procedure on her vocal cords. During a career spanning more than five decades, Rivers blazed a trail for women in stand-up comedy.

This week in history

A New York Times bestseller, Glennon Doyle’s book, tells the story of a woman who finally found her true voice.

Glennon Doyle is an American author and the creator of the online community Momastery.

She is also the founder and president of Together Rising, an all−women−led non-profit organisation supporting women, families and children in crisis.

Untamed is a deeply personal story of discovery and finding your true self. It is about how the world’s expectations cage women and how they can break free.

Untamed is a great lesson on how to set boundaries, make peace with your body and channel anxiety.

This memoir is meant to empower every woman out there.

It has a very clear message: find and honour your true self.

A book recommended to anyone who is still struggling to show their true colours.

1939 - War In response to Hitler’s invasion of Poland, Britain and France declare war on Germany. The first casualty was British ocean liner Athenia, sunk by a German submarine.

Britain’s response was dropping anti-Nazi propaganda over Germany and then bombing German ships on September 4.

THE health and wellness industry is becoming increasingly more tailored to individuals and their body’s specific needs.

The latest frontier to be tackled is hormonal health. Hormones impact your mood and affect your health, and having an imbalance can lead to all manner of conditions, such as exhaustion and fertility issues.

Hormones are produced by glands

a hot topic and are the chemical messengers that trigger activity in different parts of the body to help keep cells and organs working properly. You can get

tested to find out whether your hormones are functioning properly, however, these tests can be pricey.

But there are several things you can do to help your body stay in check.

Testosterone levels can be boosted by doing strength training and eating enough good fat and protein.

Vegetables such as kale and broccoli help the body to metabolise oestrogen.

These diagnostic tests can show if you have had or have an active Coronavirus infection and if steps to quarantine or self isolate from others are necessary.

The ELISA is a test that detects and measures antibodies in your blood.

A sample of blood is taken and used to determine if you have antibodies related to Covid-19. Antibodies are proteins that your body produces in response to harmful substances called antigens.

The second test offered at our clinic is the PCR test; this is performed by using a nasal swab to directly detect the presence of an antigen, rather than the presence of the body’s immune response, or antibodies.

The viral RNA (Ribonu-

cleic Acid molecule), will be detected before antibodies form or any symptoms of the disease are present, the test shows if someone has the virus very early on.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Young people should feel free to open up about their Mental Health MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED I HAVE suffered from bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder for the last nine years. I am on the road to recovery and learning how to manage my illness and living a fairly normal life.

In opening up about my struggles in my weekly articles, I want to show young people that it’s okay not to be okay. I think it is especially hard on young people; they have a perception that they need to be emotionless, strong, brave, cool, and that they need to have their life sorted out at a young age. I think the world needs a real change. Luckily I am still here today to talk about these issues.

We are getting to a place where people are able to open up a lot more.

But not we’re quite there yet. Young people are affected by this on a daily basis .

Yet we still do not have the resources to help people immediately in need.

I was lucky enough to have supportive people in my life. A loving family.

Lucky enough to still be here today, able to open up about my struggles.

Unfortunately, at the time, my demons took over, I lost friends, isolated myself, self harmed, abused alcohol; I was living someone else’s life. A life that wasn’t my own, or should I s a y some-

one was living it for me.

I began my recovery through medication, therapy sessions with a phycologist, weekly visits with a psychiatrist. A well balanced system that worked for me. I stuck out counselling for almost four years, on and off. It helped me to grow strength and build back up my confidence.

I am in a much better place now.

There are still bad days. But they come and go. I am happy - I put on a front. I socialise, I laugh, I smile, I live. But this doesn’t mean I am indestructible. I am vulnerable and still battle EVERY DAY. This is what people need to realise: We do not know what is going on in people’s lives; what’s happening in their minds. For me - it was as simple as a chemical imbalance in the mind.

That was all it took to change my life forever. It completely took over me, changed me. I wish when I was that young, hurting, fearing for my life, I should have spoken about it, about how I was feeling.

I wanted a hand to hold but was to scared to ask for help. I realised I needed help a little too late, and this doesn’t have to be the case, we should speak up, nobody has to suffer alone.

I want to live in a world where we stop judging, where we stop criticising and tearing each other apart with every little mistake; where everyone who experiences a mental health problem can turn to their family and friends without fear. I promised myself I will fight in every way to help make this possible.

Now I want to pass my strength to the people who need that hand to hold in their dark times. We need to stand together and gain confidence to speak out! In every dark time there is a bright light. Never give up. Never surrender.

Never lose hope.

‘Reversions’ revealed SINGER and songwriter Jonatan Penalba will present his new album Reversions - a mixture of traditional themes on Saturday, September 5, at the Villajoyosa’s Auditorium of La Barbera dels Aragones.

Despite his youth, the Penalba is already a veteran in the world of traditional song and roots.

Born in Alcudia, at the age of five he was already singing and became part of the folkgroup Grup de Balls Populars Les Folies de Carcaixent before he was 18 years old.

His voice has been influenced by the likes of Pep Moreno and the great Victoria Sousa ‘Victorieta’ in singing style, and little by little, Penalba has also been introduced to the world of folk.

ROAD TEST

by Mark Slack YOU might have heard our law makers have d e c i d e d t h e y d o n ’t want to sniff a trace of petrol in a new car aft e r 2 0 3 5 , w h e n i t ’s got to be electric power only.

So out will go the sort of car you’re looking at now, which combines a conventional petrol engine with an electric motor and a battery.

It’s what we call a mild hybrid and helps the car go a bit further on each gallon as the electric motor gently helps, powered from a battery charged when you lift off the throttle.

There’s no cable to plug in and no anxiety that things will grind to a halt if the battery goes flat. Most of the time the petrol engine does the work, but the battery helps enough to push the car’s economy the right side of 5l/100km

MOTORING

Hyundai Ioniq

MILD HYBRID: It helps the car go a bit further.

(50 + mpg) in mixed motoring.

This encouraging frugality comes from an IONIQ in the least frugal of three possible versions; with a biggerbattery plug-in hybrid and an electric-only version also offered.

The plug-in one goes a claimed 39 miles on electricity alone before the petrol engine cuts in, while the all-electric IONIQ claims 194 miles range.

You won’t be surprised to learn you’ll pay thousands more for the extra electric

ranges though, making the base IONIQ a happy choice for lots of drivers who fancy very decent economy but have shallower pockets.

The mild hybrid IONIQ costs from €26,459 (£23,840) and comes with enough kit not to feel meanly equipped, with only lack of satellite navigation a possible downer.

It was most certainly present in this car - a range topping Premium SE model costing €31,121 (£28,040) and the size of its screen

and clarity of presentation would shame the systems in many rivals. There’s nothing to complain about the way the IONIQ drives, with smooth automatic gearchanges, light and positive steering and enough performance to comfortably tackle today’s crowded roads.

Indeed, knock the gear selector lever into sport and the IONIQ feels positively lively, even if you’re then rather ignoring the reason this fuel saving hybrid was designed in the first place.

Other plus points include an interior that looks smart and feels well put together, with a welcome lack of fussy detail.

The heated steering wheel makes a friend of the driver on a chilly day and seat heating that extends to the rear impresses back seat drivers.

England Dream Jack Grealish has finally received his England call-up GARETH SOUTHGATE picked the Aston Villa star for the first time after Marcus Rashford and Harry Winks withdrew from the Nations League double header in Iceland and Denmark.

The first timer, 24, switched his allegiance from Ireland to England five years ago but had been repeatedly left out of the team by manager Southgate.

Grealish said: “I don’t want to be on the outside looking in again. But I know for that to be the case I’ve got to make a good impression.

“My plan has always been to just get in that England squad for the first time, then make sure I do enough to stay in there.

“Once you are in the squad, it’s up to you to

make sure you either do enough in the training sessions or games.”

Grealish, who played for the Republic of Ireland’s junior side, spoke of the England side saying: “Some of the players in the current squad have been around the England camp for many years.

“You just expect them to be there - and that has got to be the aim for every player.

“I don’t know if I will get the opportunity to show what I can do on the pitch.

“But if that doesn’t happen then I’ve got to use every training session to show what I’m capable of and I’m confident of doing so.”

Southgate defended his decision not to initially in-

clude Grealish seven days ago.

He said: “With Jack, the simple answer is Mason Greenwood. He’s competing against Greenwood, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Raheem Sterling.

“I know Villa have played him as an eight, I don’t see him in that role for us.

He could play as a 10 but we haven’t played with a 10.”

Southgate feared he would lose more players as five had tested positive for coronavirus last week.

The squad will fly to Iceland on Friday for Saturday’s game.

GREALISH: Picked for squad.

Top competition TOTTENHAM will need to increase their bid for Barcelona youngster Lucas de Vega if they are to sign the Brazilian this summer.

Spurs have made an offer for the 20-year-old, of around £2 million to sign him on a permanent deal.

The La Liga side want around £3.6 million up front, with the same amount in add-ons to seal the deal.

De Vega has a release clause of £90 million despite never playing for the first team, Barca will reportedly let him go for just over £7 million.

Tottenham face tough competition from teams in Spain’s second tier after the central midfielder impressed last season.

Barcelona are not actively looking to sell De Vega and are happy to keep him as a potential option for the first team in the coming seasons.

Jose Mourinho however, is determined to liven up his squad this summer and could return with a bid closer to the club’s valuDE VEGA: Spurs have ation. made an offer.
