CHARITY SHOP THEFTthings must be really tough as thesecond Chance Charity shop in albirwas broken into last week.The shop is located at the back of CentroComercial, off the main road leading downto the beach. The break in happenedsometime in the early hours of Saturdaymorning, as staff at the nearby Lingsrestaurant were still open until after mid-night and did not notice anything unto-ward. The thieves got in via the vents above thedoor and managed to take the safe off thewall, which they took with them andhelped themselves to a selection of sun-glasses and jewelry too. Distressingly forthe volunteers who arrived to open up onSaturday morning, they also carefullyemptied the glass bottle of coins on thecounter that was meant for charity andthrew items off the racks and made a

huge mess. The Policia Local came totake statements but unfortunately they arenot covered on their insurance for the lostmoney – much of which was owing to cus-tomers who had bought in items to sell ona percentage commission. if anyone has a spare safe they are will-ing to donate they would be mostgrateful – their contact details are -966 865 342 and any donations wouldbe much appreciated.By irena Bodnarec.

the judge has agreed to act on adenunciation against members of theexecutive board of the local socialistgovernment led by vicente arques inalfaz del Pi for systematically approv-ing and extending a contract for thelocal association for the Protection ofanimals in alfaz del Pi in spite of thefact that the animal shelter did notcomply with legal requirements.

The Animal Shelter was opened in the1990s but in the last seven years (coin-ciding with the Socialist rule) reports bythe Autonomic Council of Agriculture,Fishery and Health have revealed afterinspecting the installations, that there area number of deficiencies relating to thelack of the correct documentation, thefood given to the animals and thehygiene of the shelter.

The Shelter has received more than100.000€ from the Council. It was authorized as an Animal Shelterby the Socialist Government although itdid not comply with certain legal require-ments necessary in order to be regis-tered as an Animal Shelter for aban-doned animals and its contract wasextended inspite of the fact that the LocalGovernment knew that the legal require-ments were not met. The Civil ServantsJosé Rafael Frías and María JoséPingarrón Martín knew that these

requirements were not being met as theywere present at the Local ExecutiveMeetings where this was explained anddiscussed but they ignored this and thecontract with the Animal Shelter wasextended.

Citizens of Alfaz del Pi have broughtnumerous complaints about negligenceand unhealthy conditions at the AnimalCentre as well as the ill treatment of ani-mals and many administrative irregulari-ties. These were certified in the report of

the Autonomic Council for Agriculture,Fishery and Health.

The denunciation against the ExecutiveBoard of the Local Government was pre-sented by Maite Huerta, the President ofthe Partido Popular and leader of theOpposition. She provided all the requireddocumentation. The judge will now pro-ceed to request an explanation from theLocal Government to see if it is guilty ofthe following offences:- The perversion of justice, the misuse ofpublic funds, negligence in the safekeep-ing of documents, fraudulently awardingand extending a contract and in grantingfunds and the ill treatment of animals.

The Councellor of Urban DevelopmentVicente Soler was also denounced forpossible irregularities in documents con-cerning the camper site at La Colina builtwithout authority from the ValencianGovernment.

The Councillor of Health, Vicenta Baldóand the Councillor of Finance M. GarciaMadrid were denounced for grantingfinancial aid to the Animal Shelter aftertechnicians had requested that its con-tract should be cancelled because of thenumerous deficiencies they hadobserved.

In 2012 Altea Town Hallasked the banks for almost€15 million to pay overduesupplier bills, and thisscheme means it will save€600,000 in interest pay-

ments.The Town Hall had setaside €1 million within itsbudget and that money willnow be used to cancelother loans with higherinterest rates.

one of Benidorm´s most popular places - “Levi´sshowboat” in the rincon de Loix, was broken into onsaturday morning. Thieves brazenly jemmied the two sets of front doorsopen with a crowbar at 8:30am, which set the alarm off.Before the police managed to arrive they had succeededin getting away with a small safe, freestanding vendingmachine and the staff tip jar. Owner Wayne Edward Wright and partner Des Bellamywere at the premises as soon they were notified and bylunchtime workmen were already repairing the damageto the doors. Wayne was angered and more upset aboutthe staff tip jar being taken than the other things, but res-olute in his stance that they would be open for businessas usual. They are awaiting the images from the CCTV cameras,which were fully operational during the break in.However, due to the fact that there were two large vansparked directly outside the front door, it masked fromdirect view what was going on inside and didn´t rouse thesuspicions of any passers-by.

The pair are championswhen it comes tofundraising for charity,regularly organizingafternoon shows forgood causes. The nextevent planned will takeplace on Sunday 22ndMarch – this time for 3dog charities: Love ofDogs, Benidorm Dogshome and BARC –Busot Animal RescueConcern.

Las FaLLas the Fiesta oF san Jose 17th-19th MarCh

For five days the castles, monuments and “mascle-taes” become the protagonists of Benidorm, wherethe smell of gunpowder is interspersed with thesmell of flowers and the music of the bands withthe sound of masclets. A transformation that occursas a prelude to spring, and on March 19th, everythingends and everything begins; with the last of the ashespeople start to dream of Fallas again for the followingyear. The festival of San José takes place in Benidorm

from the 15th to the19th of March. Like the city ofValencia, Benidorm honours San José with Las Fallas -a festival of nightly street parties and rowdy fireworks.Three giant papier-mâché statues (ninots) are erectedand then ceremoniously burned to the ground on thefinal evening. The trio of statues, known as CentralFalla, Rincon Falla and Els Tolls Falla, are constructedby - and placed in - the dif-ferent districts of Benidorm.

The areas try to outdo each other with their huge andelaborate designs and often use the statues to poke funat local celebrities and politicians.

We have over the last few weeks read manyreports about new laws for changing our driv-ing licenses to a Spanish one. Often reportshave been conflicting and confusing.Depending on the newspaper you read or thewebsite you check, everyone has a differenttheory on the new law and whether there is anew law at all.

We spoke to PMR Property Management &Rental and asked their advice on this matterand we received very sound advice. LisaTurner, Director of PMR based in Alfaz del Piwould recommend anyone who is a Residentin Spain to change their Licence for ease ofidentification and communication with theAuthorities and peace of mind. Lisa gave ascenario that if a UK Licence were to be lostand you are Resident in Spain, you would noteasily be able to get a replacement UKLicence from DVLA because you no longerhave a permanent UK address. This could beproblematic as you are always required tohave your Licence with you while driving hereand trying to explain your replacement is com-ing via your best friend’s sister could causeyou more problems with the Police if you arestopped and found not to be carrying one. Ifthe same were to happen and you lost yourSpanish Licence, this can easily be replaced

because you reside here. The Police cannotenforce their penalty points system if yourLicence is not Spanish and as we all know, thelaws can often be misunderstood or miscon-strued even by the authorities themselves. It isa legal requirement in the UK to change yournon British Licence within a certain time frameso we would recommend you apply the samerules while residing here in Spain and carry aSpanish Licence.You can easily change your Licence using the“One Stop Shop” services at PMR. Contactthem on 966260877 or [email protected] or you can visit theiroffices which are open from 10am to 6pm fromMonday to Friday.

Pound hits seven-year high against euro

the pound has reached a more-than seven yearhigh against the euro, a day after the europeanCentral Bank (eCB) began its government bondbuying programme, sterling rose 1% to hit €1.40for the first time since december 2007.

It means UK holidaymakers to the eurozone willhave just over 15% more spending power than ayear ago.

City analysts said continued fears over a Greek exitfrom the eurozone had also helped push the poundhigher against the single currency.Last year, the pound was trading at €1.205, meaningholidaymakers could expect €1.18 for every poundthey exchanged.

UK holidaymakers to Europe would have received€707 for every £600 they exchanged a year ago, butthey would get €822 today.The rise in sterling came after the head of the euro-zone finance ministers' group called on Greece to "stopwasting time" and engage in serious talks on reform.

What's more, the pound to euroexchange rate may continue to fly.

Here's why:1. Sterling may rise, because the UK economy is fore-cast to grow +0.6% in early 2015, faster than at theend of last year.2. The pound could strengthen, because the UK iscreating an astonishing +70,000 new jobs a month,according to statistics body Markit.3. Sterling may climb, because economists say thatthe UK economy is on course for yet another robustperformance in the first quarter.4. The euro may weaken meanwhile, because theEuropean Central Bank is set to begin its €1.1 trillionemergency stimulus next Monday.5. The euro may fall, because prominent Germanpolitician Peter Ramsauer said yesterday that Greecewould be "better off" outside the Eurozone.6. The euro may lose out, because Germany's exportsunexpectedly tumbled –2.1% in January, more thanthe –1.5% forecast.

Sr AntoniJoan Bertomeu Vallés, the Alcalde of Teulada Moraira,asked if he might say a few words to the audience beforethe band came onstage and, in a brief address,expressed, in warm and generous terms, his apprecia-tion of the work done by TM Lions within the local com-munity, referring, in particular, to the ongoing supportgiven to Caritas and the Social Services Departments ofTeulada-Moraira and Benitachell in helping provide foodfor families in need; equipment given to the primary

schools in Benigembla, Moraira & Benitachell; and thecontinuing financial assistance furnished to the EmausChildren's Home at El Vergel.The Alcaldi was applauded off the stage by the audienceas he then made way for ABBA Elite and the eveningproper got underway; La Senieta filled with the music ofABBA's greatest and best loved hits; and those "hard-core" ABBA fans, who had turned up in costume, boogiedaway in the aisles!The sellout event raised an impressive 1530 euros whichwill be sent by TM Lions to their parent organisation,Lions Clubs International Foundation, as a donation

towards the cost of building schools and orphanages toeducate andprovide shel-ter for chil-dren in WestAfrica whoseyoung liveshave beendevastatedby the Ebolapandemic.

CanCer (June 22nd-July 23rd)

Differences of opinion wont really have a bearing on the way you behave, espe-cially if you refuse to side with either contender. Not getting involved in itself mayannoy others, but you have no axe to grind with anyone so why should you putyourself in the firing line.

Leo (July 24th-august 23rd)

LiBra (september 24th-october 23rd)

Although the early bird catches the worm this week, don’t work so hard thatyou’re not getting enough sleep. That will just defeat the purpose. Its all aboutfinding a balance. If you’re tired you’ll just get argumentative, and no one wantsthat do they? Get rest.

sCorPio (october 24th-november 22nd)

With the moon in your solar twelfth house at the start of the week, this week willbe quieter than last, but keep checking arrangements before you commit yourselfto anything, as your lethargy could lead to you forgetting things and you maydouble book yourself.

audi rs Q3 (2015) revieWWhat's powering the

2015 audi rs Q3?The engine is the very same, and veryimpressive, 2.5-litre five-cylinder we knowand love from the RS3 and TT RS. Outputhas warmed to 335bhp thanks to an ECUremap, and torque grows by 22lb ft to332lb ft. The resulting 0-62mph dash isyanked precisely into line with the afore-mentioned AMG. Funny that.

Thanks to a large area under the torquecurve you’re not left wanting for in-gearacceleration – unlike Mercedes’ ultra-boosted, ultra-laggy four-pot turbo, forinstance – and it’s difficult to dislike theoff-beat five-banger thrum.

When cogs do need swapping, the newRS Q3 has another ace up its sleeve. Theseven-speed S-tronic ’box gets a softwareupgrade which bolsters its appeal overthe more sluggish seven-speeder in theGLA, changing gear quicker and moresmoothly than before.

any other technicaltweaks for 2015?

There’s extra sound deadening too, withthe result that even with the Drive Selectsystem (which adjusts steering weighting,throttle response and gear-change swapspeed) in Dynamic, you’ve got a car that’ssurprisingly refined and driveable, even atlow speeds. The optional RS Sports Plusadaptive suspension installed on our carmorphs to match whatever Drive Select is

set to; expect flat, composed handling inDynamic and a far softer edge with morebody-roll in Comfort.

While slightly improving the RS Q3’s fueleconomy, shorter gearing for lower ratiosand a longer seventh gear for cruisingalso improves the way the thing drives,both for high-speed hauling and low-downamusement. It’s addictive fun hammeringup and down the first four gears on a quietB-road – there’s more than a hint of rallycar pedigree here, and we applaud it.But it isn’t all plain sailing for the RS Q3.

The cabin still needs a fair few optionschucked at it before the cheaper plasticsand switchgear from lesser Audis fadeinto insignificance. It feels a little thrifty inthere to carry the RS moniker. Thenthere’s the steering – while recalibratedand decently weighted no matter whichmode you’re in – it still lacks that feedbackso crucial to testing the very outer limits ofthe brilliant Quattro all-wheel-drive sys-tem. Perhaps that’s more a complimenton outright grip than a major dynamicshortfall, but this is meant to be a perform-ance model, even if it’s an SUV.

verdictStill, we’re fond of the sizzling Q3. It’s alivelier thing with bags of character andnow it’s easier to live with too.

But then there’s the big question: whythis over an RS3? For similar money youcan ditch the taller stance, gain the MQBplatform’s versatility, retain the five-potmill and still get Quattro. While the RS Q3is now a better car than the GLA 45 AMG,it might be worth holding on for the hot A3– due next summer – before deciding ifSUV elevation is really a must-have.

Do YOU Want ToStop Smoking

NOW And FOREVER?

Bruises (contusions) are caused when small blood ves-sels under the skin tear or rupture. This is usually fol-lowing a knock, bump or fall which causes blood toleak into the tissues under the skin. Bruises changecolour over two to four weeks from purplish black toreddish blue to yellowish green. Sometimes the area ofthe bruise spreads down the body in the direction ofgravity.Most bruises are not a cause for concern and will fadeaway on their own. A bruise on a leg usually will takelonger to heal than a bruise on the face or arms.However, severe bruising, swelling, and pain thatbegins within 30 minutes of an injury may mean amore serious problem, such as a severe sprain or frac-ture.People that have a tendency to bruise easily often arenot even aware of what has caused a bruise. Bruisingeasily does not always mean that you have a serioushealth problem especially if bruising is minimal or onlyshows up once in a while:

• As adults get older the skin becomes thinner due toreduced flexibility and less fat under the skin. Thesechanges, along with skin damage from exposure to thesun, cause blood ves-sels to break easily, thuscausing bruising. • Women bruise moreeasily than men, especiallyfrom minor injuries on thethighs, buttocks, and upper arms.• A tendency to bruise easily some-times runs in families.

haematomasOccasionally after an injury, blood collectsand pools under the skin (haematoma), givingthe skin a spongy, rubbery, lumpy feel. Ahaematoma usually is not a cause for concern. Itis not the same thing as a blood clot in a vein.

Petechiae and PurpuraPetechiae are pinpoint, round spots that appear on theskin as a result of bleeding under the skin. The bleed-ing causes the petechiae to appear red, brown or pur-ple. They commonly appear in clusters and may looklike a rash. Usually flat to the touch, petechiae don'tdisappear on pressure. Petechiae are tiny. Larger vari-eties of these types of spots are called purpura.Petechiae or purpura may indicate a number of condi-tions, ranging from minor blood vessel injuries to life-threatening medical conditions.

sudden unexplained bruisingSudden unexplained bruising or a sudden increase inthe frequency of bruising may be caused by:• A medicine, such as aspirin or blood thinners (anticoagulants).• A chronic inflammatory disease such as Lupus• Liver disease• A bleeding or clotting disorder such as haemophilia,thrombocytopenia or Von Willebrands’s disease.• Inflammation of a blood vessel (vasculitis).• Infection that causes the build up of toxins in the

blood or tissues (sepsis).• Malnutrition, such as deficien-cies of vitamins B12, C, or K, orfolic acid.• Some types of cancer, suchas Hodgkin's disease,leukaemia, or multiple myelo-ma.

should a person experi-ence any abnormalbruising they shouldseek advice from their g.P.in order to eliminateany medical cause,serious or otherwise.

TRAVEL AROUNDLas Fallas is undoubtedly one of the mostunique and crazy festivals in Spain. Thenagain, Spain is a country known for itsunique and odd fiestas. What started as afeast day for St. Joseph, the patron saintof carpenters, has evolved into a 5-day,multifaceted celebration involving fire.Valencia, a quiet city with a population ofjust over 1 million, swells to an estimatedthree million flame-loving revelers duringLas Fallas celebrations.

Las Fallas literally means "the fires" inValencian. The focus of the fiesta is thecreation and destruction of ninots (“pup-pets” or “dolls”), which are huge card-board, wood, paper-machè and plasterstatues. The ninots are extremely lifelikeand usually depict bawdy, satirical scenesand current events. A popular theme ispoking fun at corrupt politicians andSpanish celebrities. The labor intensiveninots, often costing up to 66, 227€, arecrafted by neighborhood organizationsand take almost the entire year to con-struct. Many ninots are several stories talland need to be moved into their final loca-tion of over 350 key intersections andparks around the city with the aid ofcranes on the day of la plantà (the rising).

The ninots remain in place until March19th, the day known as La Cremá (theburning). Starting in the early evening,young men with axes chop cleverly-hid-den holes in the statues and stuff themwith fireworks. The crowds start to chant,the streetlights are turned off, and all ofthe ninots are set on fire at exactly 12a.m. (midnight). Over the years, the localbomberos (firemen) have devised uniqueways to protect the town's buildings frombeing accidentally set on fire by theninots: such as neatly covering store-fronts with fireproof tarps. Each year, oneof the ninots is spared from destruction bypopular vote. This ninot is called the ninot

indultat (the pardoned puppet) and isexhibited in the local Museum of the Ninotalong with the other favorites from yearspast.The origin of las Fallas is a bit murky, butmost credit the fires as an evolution ofpagan rituals that celebrated the onset ofspring and the planting season. In the six-teenth century, Valencia used streetlightsonly during the longer nights of winter.The street lamps were hung on woodenstructures, called parots, and as the daysbecame longer the now-unneeded parotswere ceremoniously burned on St.Joseph's Day. Even today the fiesta hasretained its satirical and working-classroots, and the well-to-do and faint-of-heartof Valencia often ditch out of town duringLas Fallas.

Besides the burning of the ninots, there isa myriad of other activities during the fies-ta. During the day, you can enjoy anextensive roster of parades, paella con-

tests and beauty pageants aroundthe city. Spontaneous fireworks dis-plays explode everywhere during thedays leading up to La Crema, but thehighlight is the daily mascletá whichoccurs in the Plaza Ayuntamiento atexactly 2pm. When the string-linedfirecrackers are ignited, the thunder-ous, rythmitic sounds they make canbe considered music as the soundintensifies in volume. Those fire-crackers timed to fall to the ground lit-erally shake the floor for next ten min-utes, as the mascletá is more forauditive enjoyment than visual.Falles can be found in the Plaza delPilar and the Plaza de la Merced,another near the ConventoJerusalén, and others on AlmiranteCadarso, Reino de Valencia, Suecaand Cuba streets.

danny Welbeck scored the winner on his returnto old trafford to give arsenal a 2-1 victory overManchester united and book their place in theFa Cup semi-finals.The United academy graduate was deemed surplusto requirements last summer by Louis van Gaal butcame back to haunt his former side by netting thedecisive goal in a captivating cup clash.

Nacho Monreal had given the Gunners the lead inthe 25th minute but United quickly levelled thanks toWayne Rooney’s header.Welbeck restored Arsenal's advantage on the hourmark when he capitalised on Antonio Valencia's

underhit backpass and beat David de Gea.

United's misery was compounded when Angel DiMaria was sent off for pulling referee MichaelOliver's shirt in frustration at being booked for diving.

The Gunners will now meet either Bradford orReading in the last four at Wembley.United, meanwhile, look almost certain to finish with-out a trophy for the second season in a row.

The hosts were forced into one change from theirwin over Newcastle as the suspended Jonny Evanswas replaced by Luke Shaw.
