May is traditionally
the
month
for
children
making their
First
Holy
Communion
in Spain, although
you
may
have
seen
some
c h i l d r e n
dressed
in
the traditional attire in
late April due
to Easter being so early this year. For the children of
practising Catholics it is akin to a wedding
with all the same trimmings, or perhaps
even more.
10
One week
before
the
Communion the
priest organises rehearsals and the hearing
of the first confession. Parents
purchase a present for the catechism teacher (who has been teaching
voluntarily over the years). They are also
provided with an envelope to make a donation to the parish.
During the service all the children participate, whether it is to read or bring up gifts
to the priest. After they have received
Holy Communion for the first time
they are also then presented with a
certificate and a special candle.
Once the mass is over and photos are taken everyone heads off to their respective
venues for a meal and a day of partying.
It is usually a lavish meal that goes on for
hours. The cake is often similar to a wedding cake, with tiers and all guests receive
little token gifts (presented by the child
to each guest from a display such as in
the photo below). It is generally taken for
granted that the child making their First
Holy Communion will not go to school
the next day, if it is on a Sunday, which it
normally is! The parents will avail of this
opportunity to avoid work on Monday as
well if possible!!
Approximately one month before the Communion the child will begin receiving gifts
from all those attending as well as others
acquainted with the family.
These gifts
and the Communion attire are displayed in
a room in the house and everyone is invited to view.

The
Annual
Treasure
Hunt
has
also
taken
place,
leaving
some
bemused villagers behind wondering
what all the cars were doing going back
and forth. Some teams did get lost, but
still managed to get to our destination
of The Wishing Well, without being
too late. Luckily the weather was kind to
us which helped.
The winning teams were: 1st Kent Yorkies,
2nd Foxtrotters, 3rd Green Flash and last,
but not least The Lost Girls. This team
was 2 men and 2 women. They obviously
dont know the difference, so didnt stand
a chance of finding clues.

A God-shaped Void
What is this God-shaped void that we hear
about so often in Christian and church
circles? It has been said that every one of
us has something missing in our lives and
that only God can bring completeness.
God?
16
GOD
When we cannot do anything about our
lives it is so much easier to believe and
have a living faith in God. So many folk
who have no faith or trust in God, find
faith on their death-beds or during difficult
situations in their lives.
Let me tell you a funny story.
Many years ago my Mother-in-Law was in
hospital for an operation and was asked
by the medical staff what religion she
was. Her response was I am an atheist. I
dont believe in God. Well, when she came
round after the op the nurse said to her,
I thought you said you did not believe in

While
the
S o v i e t
system itself
controlled
the
entire
e c o n o m y,
the cultural,
political and
social lives of
the people,
the internal
role of the
KGB
was
simple to
protect
the
communist
r e g i m e
and
to
prevent and
control any
disobedience
against it. Many who stood up against
the system, who were outspoken and
denounced the state, were often classed
as mentally insane and locked up in
institutions. This was a tactic that was used
right across the communist world. Many
more though were imprisoned and shot.
Lithuania, just like every other country in
the eastern bloc, suffered immensely at the
hands of the Soviet KGB. It is estimated
Although
Lithuania
declared
its
independence from a crumbling USSR in
March 1990, the KGB somehow hung on.
It wasnt until October 1991 that the KGB
in Lithuania finally ceased to exist and
Lithuanians for the first time in decades,
could stop looking over their shoulders.
But the pain inflicted on many
Lithuanians, especially the emotional
scars, are still healing
Whats
absolutely
vital to remember
here is that the KGB
in Lithuania were

Well another
month
gone
and
once again
it has been
very
hectic, certainly
concerning
puppies and
dogs.
We
have
rehomed all of
Lucies puppies; not bad
out of a litter of 8 with
Buster, the smallest one being the last.
Another mamma and her 1 week old puppies came into our care a couple of weeks
ago. The mother is small and her 4 puppies are going to be small too. They will be
24
up for adoption
along
with Jeanie
their mother.
Please
take a look
at our FB
page for further updates
and photographs.
We do have
several older dogs that
need rehoming too; not elderly, just more
than a puppy. Cinders is a classic example; a gorgeous mixed breed girl with possibly a little boxer in her. She is good with
other dogs and on the lead. She is ready
to go with all the necessary paperwork and
injections and even spayed, so Cinders
5 entrance fee.
Tickets will be available from various
outlets including The Tea Pot, Yorkshire
Linen and Jackie Galvez in Puerto de
Mazarrn, see our Facebook page, or from
any PALS members or at the door. There
will be limited seating to allow for maximum
dancing, so arrive early and stay late!
This is the largest one day show on the
Costa Clida planned this year and the
special presentation will amaze you, adding
to the 250,000 already spent on your
behalf by PALS on life saving and medical
equipment in the Mazarrn area.

Case Study
Mr B (aged 54) from Hampshire contacted
us with the name of the company that he
had taken out a personal pension back in
the late 1980s who he had not heard from
in many years. Mr B had moved to Spain 6
years ago and as it turned out the insurance
company had re-named twice.
We were able to track down the current
insurance company holding Mr Bs pension
and established that he had over 30,000 in
a fund used to contract him out of SERPS.
Better still, Mr B was able to transfer the
benefits from an old style personal pension
to an overseas scheme that will save him
tax and enables him to access the benefits
from the age of 55. When Mr B reaches 55
in June 2016 he will be able to take 25%
(or more than 7,500) as a tax free lump
sum. That new car he was dreaming of is
now a reality!

Pension Statement, or wish to trace lost
pensions please contact

Brownie
The lovely Brownie was found with
another dog, Magnum, in the area of Pilar
de La Horadada. He was approximately 7
months old when he was brought in to
us at the refuge. He is now around 18
months old. Brownie is approximately
36cms and weighs 18kg. He has a very
calm and laid-back nature, despite his
surroundings! He gets on well with other
dogs and loves a good walk. Brownie
has been neutered and his vaccinations
are up-to-date. If you have room in your
heart and your home for Brownie, please
get in touch.
Magnum
This gorgeous lad is Magnum, who
unfortunately is still here with Brownie!!
He has also come from the Pilar de La
Horadada area and was approximately 7
months old when he arrived at the refuge.
Magnum measures approximately 35cms
and weighs around 14kg. He also gets on
well with other dogs and loves as much
human company as he can get (especially
if someone wants to give him a biscuit
or two!!). If you can offer Magnum a
forever home, please get in contact.

Dear Editor
Like many, I have read the articles written
by various contributors regarding the
upcoming June referendum. Some will
try to understand the arguments for and
against without really knowing any facts
and what the repercussions of a Brexit
will mean for the UK.
As a UK retiree living in mainland Europe, I
am more concerned with the repercussions
of a vote to leave that could affect me and
many other UK retirees. In a previous life
I worked for a large multinational where
it was common practice to analyze past
and present data on a variety of subjects
relevant to our business model. This
analysis was carried out for the purpose of
projecting possible outcomes from a range
of future scenarios. It is from this working
background that I make the following
observations and I hope that those that
have not been denied the right to vote,
do so, because few will be effected more
by the outcome than those that live in
mainland Europe.
As UK expats living in Spain, we enjoy
many benefits because we are part of the
EU. At the moment the Spanish Health
system is available to retired expats who
have obtained their Spanish Health cards.
Like the National Health in UK it is a free
service, but what happens if Brexit wins
the day?

Dear Editor
We would like to express our thanks to
all those who supported the HP/Sew
and Sew coffee morning, on Saturday
16th April, held at the Cultural Centre on
Camposol B. Our special thanks are to the
ladies of the Sew and Sew group who
did such a fantastic job of organising the
function with cake making, teas, coffees
and stalls.
We would also like to thank the Mazarrn
Bahia Lions, for their loan of their raffle
drum and, more importantly, for their
large donation of food to be distributed
to the poor families around Mazarrn.
The total raised on the day was in excess
of 470, plus all the donations of food
items, brought by people who attended. Fr
Carlos, the parish priest for the areas we
cover, was very happy with the result of
everyones efforts.

8th April:
Foster mummy said she had the best sleep
in a week last night I only woke her up
once at 2.30am so shes very proud of
me and is telling everyone how adorable
and what an angel I am! Both of them say
how keen they are for me to agree to go
on a collar and lead or harness as they
want to walk me to meet other dogs and
go somewhere called a beach. Also there
is some mention of going in a swimming
pool when the weather is warmer. Its all
go here and so many things to look forward
to by the sound of it. Martine and Martin
dont want my disability to hold me back, so
watch this space.
I know it will take time, but they say they
have all the time in the world for me to try
these things.
Bye for now Derrick xxxx

Costa Clida Chronicle Sales 619 199 407
Derrick
was
rescued
in
February. He was
found wandering
around
on
M a z a r r n
Country
Club.
He
was
very
frightened, not
surprisingly
so, as he has
cataracts in both
eyes and not
being able to see
much, if at all, he
must have wondered what was happening
to him. He needs just short walks, a soft
bed in the warm, some peace and quiet and
kindness. Luckily Martine & Martin stepped
up to help him and offered him a foster
home and just that!
61
Tunnels/Underpasses
Traffic laws must be strictly adhered to
in tunnels or underpasses, with attention
specifically to such matters as using
headlights, observing speed and safe
distance requirements and not stopping,
parking, changing direction or reversing.
When approaching most tunnels a blue
rectangular sign provides some key
information about the tunnel, such as the
name and the length, as well as details
about emergency help points within.
The speed limit in tunnels is controlled with
the R-301 mandatory maximum speed
limit sign (a red circle with the speed limit
in the centre), although many also have an
advisory maximum speed limit, indicated
by the S-7 blue square with white numbers.
Before entering the tunnel you will
also see the R-413 sign, a blue circle
with a headlight pictogram in the
centre, telling us that it is mandatory
for us to use headlights at all times.
62
Checkpoints
The security services (Guardia Civil,
Police etc) carry out regular checkpoints
on the roads. Sometimes these are part
of routine operations such as combatting
drink driving, or vehicle inspections, or
part of an increase in security. Sometimes,
although rarely, they are directly related to
a specific threat.

Festival de Los Mayos 1st-10th May
There are scenes around the town of
political messages and current events in the
news. Sunday is best for families, but there
is a great parade on Saturday night. You can
buy costumes in Alhama at the market in
the weeks before.
In 1990 the fiesta was registered as of
Regional Tourist Interest. It comes from
an ancient custom of creating rag puppets,
called Mayos, which are decorated in a way
to give them human traits (similar to Guy
Fawke). On 1st May these stick figures were
traditionally put on the doors of houses.
The Alhama Department of Tourism and
Culture, in recognition of the work of the
local people in maintaining this cultural
tradition, introduced a new incentive by
the way of awarding prizes divided into
three categories; the most original, the
most traditional and the most unique. The
main topics judged are ancient crafts of the
area, skits and comedy acts representing
everyday life scenes or specific human
issues, generally incorporating rag puppets.
7th & 22nd May - Guided Tour in Spanish
lasting 90mins to the castle, with

TV NEWS
The big story must be the reception or
lack of it! Satellite signals seem to have
crept to their low values as the heat turns
up. Every year they reduce in the hotter
air and many reports of lost channels are
coming in to us. The only real answer is a
bigger dish - a 1.80m is really needed for
successful reception and even then some
channels can be a problem especially in the
far south west areas of the region.
Internet TV is the way forward, but it
seems many of the internet providers
miscalculated their bandwidth needs and
many viewers have been suffering with

Why Worry?
Large Power Surges, as with a lightning
strike, can cause instantaneous damage,
frying circuits and melting plastic and metal
parts. Fortunately, these types of power
surges are rare. Low-level Power Surges
wont melt parts or blow fuses, but they can
cause electronic rust, gradually degrading
internal circuitry until it ultimately fails.
Small Surges wont leave any outward
evidence, so you may not even be aware
theyre happening - even though they may
occur dozens or even hundreds of times
Internal Causes
More than half of household Power Surges
are internal. These happen dozens of times
in a day, usually when devices with motors
start up or shut off, diverting electricity to
and from other appliances. Refrigerators
and air conditioning units are the biggest
culprits, but smaller devices like hair dryers
and power tools can also cause problems. A
Power Surge will invalidate the warranty
on electrical goods.
External Causes
An external Power Surge, stemming from
outside your home, is most commonly
caused by a tree limb touching a power
line, lightning striking utility equipment or
a small animal getting into a transformer.
costacalidachronicle@gmail.com
Costa Clida Chronicle Sales 619 199 407
each day.
Installation
Installation of the Surge Guard Pro should
only be carried out by a professional person.
When choosing surge protection, choose
the best, choose the Surge Guard Pro.

Blanca the
Cat
Blanca is a
lovely pedigree cat who
unfortunately attracts a
lot of attention from the
males in the
village and
so has had
five
litters
in the past couple of years. Whilst some
Spanish people are traditionally reluctant
to neuter their animals, her owner realised
that Blanca needed a better life, but she
also needed help with the cost. When she
found out about MAMAS she asked for our
help with spaying which we were happy to
do and Blanca is now leading a healthier
life without further risk of pregnancy.

The top two teams are promoted automatically and the next four teams play
off to decide one further promotion place.
Mazarrn FC were, of course, promoted
via the play-offs last season and it would
be a tremendous achievement if they could
repeat that this season. Injuries and suspensions tested the depth of the squad in
recent weeks, with seven players missing
for the away game at Molina which ended
in a goalless draw.
Mazarrons home games are normally played on Sundays and Los Amigos
de Mazarrn FC organise a supporters coach to most away games at 8 for
members and 10 for non-members. Full
details of games, date and kick off times
and coach departure times are normally
not announced until the Wednesday before
the weekend on which the game is to be
played and advertised in the local media,
on www.mazarronfc.es, Los Amigos de
Mazarrn FC Facebook page, and on posters at various points throughout Camposol
and Mazarrn.

Later in the
day
with
research
having been
carried out,
consensus
was
that
it
was
a
Horseshoe
Whipsnake
and is an
endangered
species due
to lack of
habitat.
Snakes alive!!
On 23rd March, 22 members, and one
guest, met up at the Lorca Club de Golf for
the monthly Stapleford competition.

By race 2 the
wind started
to
change
from
the
South
to
the
East
and slightly
faded. This
resulted
in
the first lap
taking twice
as long as
the
first
lap in the
first
race.
However
two cracking
starts again.
With
a
shortened
course in mind, the wind picked up to 15
knots and lap times were cut to about 18
minutes, finally resulting in another win for
Shoestring Cuatro.

For a change of scene, a day trip or a minibreak, San Pedro is a lovely location and
a visit to see the flamingos in winter is a
MUST. The birds are there from around
November to April and then migrate back
to their country of origin after the mild
winter in Spain.
