Consumed by passion A crime of passion triggered in the heat of the moment saw a Slovakian model sentenced to 15 years for the murder of British jeweller Andrew Bush. Mayka Kukucova, 26, was found guilty of the millionaire’s murder on May 27 by a Malaga jury which heard she was obsessed with the victim and devastated following their break up. They unanimously concluded that on April 5, 2014 she had broken into Rose’s Estepona home and laid in wait in her pyjamas until the 48-year-old returned with his new Russian girlfriend. She then shot him three times with an Amadeo Rossi .38 calibre revolver, with the final head shot described as the ‘coup de grace’ in the police report. On Tuesday May 31 judge Ernesto Manzano handed down the 15-year sentence noting that it was mitigated by her warped state of mind at the time and her ‘heartbroken apology’ in her final address to the courtroom. Two years spent awaiting trial in the Alhaurin de la Torre prison will be deduct-

ed from the sentence and Kukucova was ordered to pay substantial compensation to Mr Bush’s daughter and sister. Her defence team maintains that the model, who fled to Slovakia after the shooting, acted in self-defence, fired the shots accidently in a condition of ‘insurmountable fear.’ They will now appeal the judgement. Portrayed as obsessive and consumed with jealousy in
the courtroom, Kukucova’s appearance elicited powerful emotions from Rose’s family, with his daughter Ellie visiting his grave in Spain to say they’d finally got justice for him.
“She was sobbing the whole time, she has actually started to believe her own lies. She has lost everything and I pity her,” she told the press after the trial. Ellie had previously de-
scribed Kukucova as psychotic and exhibiting disturbingly obsessive behaviour towards her father, who had taken out a restraining order against his ex shortly before his death.

GAY PRIDE: Events kick off with the raising of the rainbow flag at the town hall.
Torremolinos has pride By Eleanor Hawkins
Citizens say no MORE than 700 residents have signed a petition in an attempt to reopen the roundabout on San Pedro de Alcantara Boulevard that has been closed since a Bolivian mother was fatally struck by a speeding Bentley driven by a British man three weeks ago. The roundabout was shut on May 11, with the decision criticised at the time as when open it directs traffic to the town centre.
TORREMOLINOS Pride 2016, the first Gay Pride event of the year in Spain, begins today (Thursday 2) and runs until Sunday 5 under the motto ‘Freedom, Equality and Diversity.’ Events kick off at noon on Thursday with the raising of the rainbow flag at the

POTENTIAL DISQUIET: Gordon Brown at the European Parliament on May 25.
By John Smith AN article in the Da i ly E xp re s s published on May 27 suggests that those i n p o we r i n t h e E u ro p e a n Union are terrified that if Britain votes to leave the EU in the upcoming Referendum that it will encourage other member states to consider their position, especially if they have a vociferous anti-lobby and an election is near. It goes on however to suggest that regardless of the result, there will st i l l b e p o t e n t i al d is q u ie t amongst many countries which in turn could easily lead to a number of national referendums (or referenda, depending on the dictionary you consult) which in turn could lead to one or more exits, and then the whole edifice of the Union could tumble like a house of cards. There are two particularly obvious candidate style countries for this disquiet: Greece and to a much lesser extent Portugal have been instructed to follow a course of austerity and Greece has the added fac-

tor of enormous numbers of incomers, be they economic migrants or refugees. There is however something of a Catch 22 situation with Greece, as if they were allowed to effectively declare themselves bankrupt and leave the Eurozone, then that in itself would be highly damaging to the Brussels bureaucrats and cer-
tainly the tough conditions under which they are being treated at the moment will certainly build up exceptionally bad feelings for the future. On the other hand and with a certain feeling of ‘schadenfreude’ ma ny s e e G e rma ny a s ha ving moved from ‘Hero to Zero’ even in its own eyes, quite quickly. ‘Mama Merkel,’ as she was quickly ‘christe ne d’ by Syria n re fuge e s , ha s alienated herself to a great extent from the German electorate and the actions of incomers on New Year’s Eve this year around the country, have turned many Germans who were quite content with the arrival of Turkish migrants over the years to be pola ris e d a ga ins t this ne w wave of Muslim incomers. France is in the grips of industrial unrest due to new working practices that it is trying to introduce, plus of course not only is it still in a state of e me rge nc y but it ha s to c ope with its own large Muslim population which was granted citizenship following the independence of a
number of North African colonies, as well as immigrants from West and Central Africa. Almost as an aside, it also has to cope with the camps at Calais and the fact that even more ‘illegals’ are flocking there, to try to gain entry to Britain before the referendum vote is declared. All in all, there are a number of very well-paid former national politicians and civil servants who are very worried about their financial future and their pensions, let alone their ability to form a United States of Europe. Whatever happens, and assuming that there is no immediate break-up of the EU, then it seems clear that the time has come for the bureauc ra ts t o back off and t o gi ve t he member states more say in the future of their own countries or else there will be the chance of a neverending feud between Brussels and individual member states, but a lot now depends on the integrity and honesty of politicians within the 28 member states.
The Union is doomed. With evermore unpopular dictates coming from Brussels there is great unrest among the people in many nations. It is well known that the people of Germany, Holland, France Sweden, Denmark and many other nations will also want a referendum if Britain leaves. Roy Peters
Gain control I agree that whatever happens, those countries that contribute the most to the Union are going to have to take control and take it back to its original routes rather than let faceless civil servants and second-rate MEPs try to make it a United State which it should never be. Paula
Scared men This decision to allow the British public to vote on membership of the EU must have come as a heck of a shock to those who are on the Brussels gravy train, and there is no doubt that they could well find themselves back in their own countries looking for work. George in Alicante

STABLE: The star’s condition is said to have improved.
By Matt Ford THE ONLY WAY IS ESSEX star Jake Hall remains in intensive care after being stabbed in a Marbella nightclub on Sunday May 29. The 24-year-old was apparently involved in a brawl between a group of Liverpudlian friends he was with and a gang of Londoners, culminating in him being gored with a broken
bottle almost losing a kidney. Witnesses described how the reality TV celebrity staggered into the street covered in blood before being rushed to hospital in a friend’s car. Police arrived a little later but were not initially made aware of the incident, with a spokesman saying: “Local Police were already in attendance when National Police Officers arrived and they left things to
them as there appeared to be no need for them to get involved.” The two groups of men are said to have almost come to blows earlier in the day, at a different club, when one of the Londoners supposedly threw a bottle which hit the girlfriend of one of the Scousers. Police officers from a special violent crime unit were due to speak to Mr Hall on Wednesday June 1, with him said to be
“stable and recovering.” A spokesman for Mr Hall said: “Jake is in hospital in Marbella however, I cannot confirm any further details at this time.” Several TOWIE stars are currently on holiday in Marbella, including Megan McKenna, Danielle Armstrong, James Lock and Ferne McCann, and have been prominent on the social scene over the past week.

Golden golf sale By Matt Ford IF you have ever wished to own your own golf course, now is the time to swing into action as three have been put up for sale by receivers of the company Martinsa Fadesa, although you’ll need to dig deep since the minimum asking price is a wallet-busting €9.2 million. The firm has been undergoing a liquida-
tion process since last year, and receivers have now placed the 31.75 per cent stake in the Royal Guadalmina Golf Club on the open market. Around 2,000 members currently frequent the exclusive Marbella club, which comprises two 18-hole courses and one nine-hole pitch and putt course, plus a clubhouse, driving range, tennis and padel courts, a cafeteria and a swimming pool.
Smoke free for stadium LA ROSALEDA stadium, home to Malaga Football Club, will be a smoke-free zone as of next season, team president Abdullah Al-Thani has announced on his Twitter account. Al-Thani stated that it will be forbidden to smoke inside the stadium and on all premises owned by the football team and thanked all

Tragedy of fire A WOMAN died on Wednesday (June 1) in Malaga City when a fire broke out in a second floor flat on Calle Heroes de Sostoa. Emergency services reported that the fire started at about 11.30am and firefighters, Local and National Police officers and paramedics were sent to the scene, but reported that nothing could be done to save the woman’s life.

A 57-YEAR-OLD swimmer was pronounced dead on Saturday (May 28) at La Carihuela Beach in Torremolinos. According to reports from Emergency Services 112 Andalucia, the man was apparently enjoying a dip at the beach around 1.40pm, before people noticed his lifeless body in the water. Local and National Police and medical workers went to the scene, where they verified that the man was dead. The incident is far from the first of its type this season. Several swimmers have died at beaches in the Canary Islands in the last several weeks, and this is the second fatality at La Carihuela Beach this season, following another death that occurred on May 5.

Safety first at the fair By Eleanor Hawkins ALMOST 100 Local Police officers will be on patrol each day for the 2016 Marbella Fair, which starts on Monday (June 6) and runs until Sunday (June 12). The exact number of officers will vary depending on the amount of public present at any time, the council reported, with extra patrols beginning at noon in the city centre and at 10pm at the fairground. There will also be plain clothes officers on surveillance duties to attempt to keep pickpocketing, drug peddling and sale of alcohol to minors to a minimum. However the Local Police officers will not be alone. Guardia Civil officers and Civil Protection volunteers will also be on hand to help out. This year the daytime festivities will be held in the

HASSLE-FREE: Book a sunbed from your smartphone. By Matt Ford A NEW app called ‘Book My Sunbed’ may help relieve the stress for tourists this summer, allowing users to reserve sun loungers at a selection of
resorts online. Available as a free download for both Android and iOS, the British firm behind the app intends to add more locations following trials in Marbella. Once a sunbed has been se-
lected via one of the app’s interactive maps, confirmation emails are sent to both the resort and person booking the lounger, potentially putting an end to the early-morning towel rush.

A touch too literal By Matt Ford THE ‘Alhaurin Villa Medieval’ event did not go as smoothly as planned, with a swathe of criticism regarding prices and complaints that animal rights regulations may have been breached. A number of official complaints were submitted by groups and individuals, while other residents sounded off on social media about the jamboree, which was organised by the municipal Department of Festivals and Tourism.
Specifically, an exhibition featuring birds of prey attracted widespread condemnation for displaying an ill-looking raven that is rumoured to have died on Sunday May 29 after being forced to pose for photos alongside festival-goers. The Guardia Civil’s nature protection arm SEPRONA has already been contacted and are expected to launch an investigation. Further opprobrium was aimed at some of the catering services, with a lack of official price lists and a number of reports referring to “extremely high amounts” being charged.
Grand plans are afoot MARBELLA hopes to have its own university and technology park, with plans included in the developmental programme of the city’s 2022 Strategic Plan showcased at the Real de la Misericordia Hospital on Monday May 30. Taking its inspiration from the Sophia Antipolis Park on the French Riviera, which currently
houses 1,400 companies employing 34,000 people from 63 countries plus a university for 5,500 students, the ‘Marbelab’ project would be constructed in the River Guadaiza valley. The science and technology park is projected to cover 300,000 square metres, with more than 400 companies creating up to 10,000 jobs, while
an 80,000 square metre university campus would provide education for around 4,000 students, with 15 undergraduate and 25 master ’s programmes focusing on new technologies and environmental sciences. Marbella is currently Spain’s only city of more than 150,000 residents without its own university.

University offers summer of learning By Matt Ford
BENALMADENA will this year host a trio of summer courses organised by the University of Malaga for the first time, which will take place from July 18-22. The courses are notable since they feature recognised
experts over a diverse crosssection of fields, including archaeology, journalism, environment, law and history, with the aim to inform students about current issues in addition to expanding their knowledge. New subjects covered this year will include youth violence, technological crime, theatre, comic books, photogra-
phy, and television series, with enrolment now open. Mayor Victor Navas expressed his delight at the agreement: “After many months of hard work and collaboration we can now celebrate a historic day for Benalmadena, which yet again is setting an example for quality education, with speakers of the highest order.�
Central airport proposed A POLITICAL group has come up with a surprising idea to build a huge central airport in Antequera to replace those in Malaga, Sevilla, Granada and Cordoba and bring all central Andalucian air traffic together under one massive roof. The party, Somos Andaluces, a new grouping of former Partido Andalucista members, has argued that their proposal would be the ideal solution to a problem the large Andalucian cities will be forced to face in the near
future whereby a lack of space will lead to airports becoming surrounded by urban areas. The team has even thought up a name for the proposed airport: Blas Infante Central Airport of Andalucia, and has suggested the plains of Antequera are the perfect place for it to be built as the city is already connected to Malaga and Cordoba by high-speed railway, with a service to Granada also due to begin soon.

Dazzling deluxe deals By Matt Ford MARBELLA continues to defy the current economic climate with the opening of the city’s first international auction house for fine jewellery. Bijouterie-buffs, whether resident or on holiday, will now be able to indulge their trinket fetishes to acquire high-end pieces at ‘bargain’ prices, with a necklace originally costing €70,000 having a starting price of €25,000, for example. The first auction will take place on August 20 at the Puente Romano hotel, with the date selected because none of the major international houses have events scheduled during the summer. Items from ritzy designers such as Tiffany’s, Piaget and Cartier are expected to feature among the opulent ornaments being sold off, some of which may fetch as much as €2.5 million. Among the more curious items are a pair of natural yellow diamond earrings, a parasol that belonged to the

Jobless mum off the hook AN unemployed mother-of-two from Benalmadena who was told that she would have to be jailed for 80 days after she failed to pay a €480 fine for driving her moped without a licence has been bailed out by an anonymous benefactor. The penalty was handed to
her in summer 2015, but Cristina Cerezo says that her ‘difficult’ economic situation means that she simply could not pay, despite admitting her mistake. The provincial court in Malaga imposed a punishment of €720, with her lawyer asking the judge for a deferred pay-
ment schedule due to her being divorced, unemployed, and having two sons, aged six and 16, to take care of. Cristina studied nursing in Barcelona, where her first son was born, but moved to Benalmadena to be with her mother following her separation, and has been unable to find permanent work since arriving in 2007, relying on temporary contracts in supermarkets and other shops. “It is not that I don’t want to work, I want to earn money to raise my children, sometimes my parents have to help me,” she said. This is why she was unable to meet the settlement schedule agreed with the judge, comprising six monthly payments of €120, with only the first payment made, and she was eventually arrested in April despite making regular visits to the judge to pay smaller amounts. With just a few days to go before she was due to be imprisoned, her lawyer received an email from a businessman friend offering to pay the outstanding amount on Cristina’s behalf, who apparently broke down in tears upon receiving the news.

Supply may not meet demand By Matt Ford REGISTRATION for school lunches and morning classes in the upcoming academic year is open until June 8, but families in which both parents work are not guaranteed places. Students who live elsewhere than where their school is located, those who must travel for more than 30 minutes to arrive or who have no transport, single-parent families in which the parent is legally employed, children at risk of social exclusion, or those living in shelters for victims of domestic vio-
lence, are all assured of their spots, however. Jose Blanco, Teaching Secretary for Workers’ Union CCOO Andalucia, was critical of the decision, with his organisation having requested that families in which both parents work should also be included, after more than 500 children were denied school lunches in Malaga Province last year. “You cannot omit children whose parents need to work,” he said, adding that last year was “chaotic” due to an inadequate evaluation process, with hundreds of families left to seek alternative options.

The risky summer fire season has now arrived AS the summer season arrives, Malaga Province is preparing for another tough year for forest fires due to the unusually dry weather over recent months. Although the last rainstorms helped fill the lakes a little, reducing the risk of drought, experts
from the Junta de Andalucia regional government’s Environmental department have warned that they could actually have increased the fire risk as they encouraged vegetation to grow, which will now dry out and be more prone to burning.
Initially, the Infoca forest firefighting and prevention team for Malaga Province will be manned by about 600 people, the government department announced, but this will be reviewed and more surveillance teams made up of environmental officers if needed.
The high-risk season began yesterday, June 1, and lasts until October 15, and there is a â‚Ź164 million budget for Infoca this year. Across Andalucia the teams will consist of 4,560 people, 115 heavy vehicles, eight mobile weather and transmissions units, 27 helicopters and 12 planes.

Open day ASKING FOR IT: Don’t leave stuff unattended on the beach. By Matt Ford AS the Costa del Sol prepares to receive millions of visitors this summer, residents and tourists alike are warned to be extravigilant, since the number of pickpocketing, shoplifting and other incidents of petty larceny tend to increase at this time of year. Around 30 per cent of all such incidents
take place in July, August and September, with police even warning of dedicated bands of thieves who move up and down the Costa, keeping police on their toes as they stay in a place for just a few days before moving on. Malaga city centre is a favourite with pickpockets, especially when a cruise ship is in town, while others walk popular
beaches wearing a rucksack and pilfering items left on the beach by sunbathers as they take a dip or pop to the bar for a drink. Last year was the first time in five years that the number of robberies reported exceeded the year before, with 28,667 complaints in 2015 compared to 28,416 in 2014, although this still represents a massive decrease from 2011.

Swinging punches while on holiday By Matt Ford A ROMANIAN man has been arrested for brutally beating his 19-year-old fiance on the doorstep of a Torremolinos swingers club, although she later pleaded for his release, claiming it was “just a case of jealousy.” The incident occurred as the couple left the club at dawn having spent the evening there, with witnesses from inside the nightspot reporting that the girl was seen to leave following a
heated discussion with her partner, who continued to drink spirits until she returned a while later. Club security staff became involved as she launched a stream of verbal abuse at her husband-to-be, who is twice her age, leading them to escort her off the premises. Outside, a passing National Police patrol watched as a man began to punch a young girl in the face and body, causing her to fall to the ground, where he continued to rain blows down
on her as he shouted in a language “we didn’t understand.” Officers rushed to immobilise the aggressor, who was immediately handcuffed and taken away. The man appeared in a Torremolinos court a day later, and was handed a suspended sentence of six months in prison which will not be upheld provided he does not reoffend. The couple was apparently spending a few days’ holiday on the Costa, staying at a friend’s place in Fuengirola.

Scissors stabbing A TWELVE-YEAR-OLD schoolgirl has undergone surgery after a classmate allegedly stabbed her left forearm with scissors, leading him to be suspended for 29 days. Occurring at a Malaga school during English class, individual accounts differ. According to the girl’s mother, she was copying notes from the blackboard when she felt a sharp push in the back, causing her to hit the desk hard. She then turned and slapped the boy, who “dropped to the ground as if crying,” but when the teacher came over, he took a pair of blunt scissors and attacked the girl, screaming “I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you.” The mother is adamant that the boy attempted to stab her daughter in the neck, but she managed to protect herself using her arm. Meanwhile, the father of the alleged offender claims his son simply threw back a pencil case which the girl lobbed at him, and he is “not troubled,” despite being suspended for the third time.

Big fish on local Malaga scene By Matt Ford ANYONE travelling via Malaga airport cannot have failed to spot the enormous San Miguel brewery which fills one side of the access road, and 2016 marks the factory’s 50-year anniversary. To celebrate, the MahouSan Miguel group has created a special logo featuring a silhouette of an anchovy (Spanish: boqueron), the symbol of Malaga City, alongside the slogan ‘50
years being anchovies.’ The commemorative branding was unveiled at a ceremony on Tuesday May 31, as the company builds up to its birthday bash with a series of activities, among which the most intriguing involves local crooner Paul Lopez, who is starring as ‘musical ambassador’ for the brand. Local bands and members of the public are being asked to “perform a duet” with San Miguel, by downloading
sounds recorded during production of the famous beer and using them as the basis for a song, with the winners, chosen by Lopez, pencilled in to open the San Miguel Concert on September 29. San Miguel will also introduce some blue tones to its branding in honour of Malaga FC, nicknamed ‘the anchovies,’ while other events include ‘Food Explorers GastroMalaga,’ which will take place in the port from July 16-19.

Bankrupt and in breach of contract By Matt Ford MARBELLA Council has opened legal proceedings against the company which has administrated the climbing wall and multi-adventure park at San Pedro Sports Centre for the last 14 years due to “serious breaches of contract.” The management firm is ap-
parently bankrupt, has high public service debts, and is no longer maintaining the facilities to a sufficient standard, causing the council to seek ways to cancel the 50-year contract that was agreed in 2002. Finance Councillor Manuel Osorio said that “citizens are no longer using the facilities, but it
could meet many of their needs,” drawing attention to ‘peculiarities’ in the winning bid which was agreed for a ‘derisory’ €600 per month, when it should be more than 10 times that amount “due to the possibilities that these installations have…it was virtually given as a present to the company.”

promised that a new contract for the work would be signed before May 30, but this date has now been pushed back to June 15. The company originally awarded the contract went bankrupt months ago, ruining the original deadlines and leading the council to invite new bids.

Prison officer attacked A PRISON OFFICER was recently attacked by an inmate at Alhaurin de la Torre prison. The incident occurred during the morning count when an officer entered a cell to check on an inmate still in bed as he thought he was unwell. As the warden went to check, the in-

PROTECTION: The new shelter makes passengers’ wait more pleasant.
A welcome shelter By Matt Ford FOLLOWING repeated complaints from locals, the bus stop at La Cala de Mijas, just below the motorway, now has a shelter installed. Residents had protested that the stop is in a place which re-

Mobility Councillor Nuria Rodriguez said: “We apologise for the lateness of this, there have been some bureaucratic problems because the item was not in stock and we had to wait for the Transport Consortium to approve the plans and organise the tender for its manufacture.”

THE Andalucian Ministry of Environment and Planning has announced that barbecues and burning of vegetation in public areas are to be prohibited from June 1 to October 15 in order to reduce the likelihood of wildfires. Vehicles are also forbidden from approaching within 400 metres of forested areas, in a repeat of measures first intro-
duced in 2006, with 31 per cent of 155 fires reported so far this year, the result of careless burning of agricultural or forest waste. The barbecue ban extends to recreational areas and campsites which have facilities installed to do so, with exceptions made only for authorised tourist accommodation, rural restaurants, and
children’s camps. Vehicles may use forested tracks or roads for rights of way, authorised ecotourism, and celebration of pilgrimages, while fire and other emergency services are also exempt. In addition, financial penalties will be handed out to anyone seen throwing a cigarette butt from a moving car.

Pie-eyed papa jailed By Matt Ford A FATHER who left his seven-year-old girl alone in his car while he went drinking in a bar has been sentenced to nine months behind bars for temporarily abandoning a minor. The incident occurred on March 20 in Malaga City, as the man picked up his daughter then went to a friend’s house before deciding to sink a few beers in a

local watering hole at around 2am. Since she had fallen asleep, he decided to leave his child inside the locked vehicle until a passing pedestrian spotted the girl and informed police some two-and-a-half hours later,
as her father continued to knock back drinks in the boozer. A judge ruled that he had seriously breached his role as a father, since he failed to provide “the most basic obligations of care and protection,” and described the episode as “unfortunate, inappropriate and unacceptable,” despite the man’s protests that he had periodically returned to the car to check on his daughter.
Let the mud-slinging begin THE pre-general election posturing has started in earnest ahead of the big day on June 26, with Popular Party general secretary for Torremolinos, Margarita del Cid, accusing the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) Council, which was elected in 2015, of “losing a year and becoming removed from the path of recovery that has started in the country.” She referred in particular to spending
and “headlines about debt, social security and tax administration,” saying that now “we have no budget and 76 new contracts,” and attempted to take credit for the pedestrianisation of the town centre, which was initiated by the PSOE. The latter have also negotiated new deals with the likes of McDonald’s, who were among several important brands to jump ship under the previous PP administration.

SECRETS: Could Carteia be much larger than originally thought?
Old photographs offer ancient clues By Matt Ford
Feeling flat AN unfortunate Yunquera resident will have to watch as six industrial units he built using his life savings are demolished since they are slightly larger than the licence he acquired permits.
ENVIRONMENTAL group Verdemar Ecologists in Action has sent official letters to the Andalucian Ministry of Culture, the Secretary of State for Culture, and the Andalucian Institute of Geophysics, requesting that a proposed survey of the Roman archaeological site Carteia, in San Roque, should also include an adjacent patch of land which is now covered by the basement of the CEPSA oil refinery.
The group believes that aerial photographs taken from an American plane in 1956, before construction of the refinery, suggest the existence of ‘a large building, possibly of Roman origin, with approximate dimensions of 100 x 50 metres… which would seem to correspond to a large temple.’ Images of the old photographs have been compared with similar shots of the Roman sanctuary of Mura, Valencia, with a clear similarity between the two, and the hypoth-
esis is supported by the discovery of a Roman necropolis nearby. In addition, the group recommend surveying two additional sites in the vicinity, one of which appears to correspond to a large Roman amphitheatre and the other a circus, with the latter also currently engulfed by CEPSA installations. Confirmation of these suspicions could offer evidence that Carteia was of much greater importance than understood at present.

Radar rage for locals By Matt Ford LOCAL POLICE in Alhaurin de la Torre have purchased a state-of-the-art mobile portable radar in a drive to reduce accidents and traffic infringements in the municipality. The next-generation device works via laser, and it will mainly be used for traffic control on roads notorious for speeding, and near schools, playgrounds and parks. Councillor for Citizen Security, Salvador Herrera, emphasized that the radar has been bought in response to complaints from residents over excessive speeding, and that the Local Police force is now wellequipped following the recent investment in bullet-proof vests and a new patrol vehicle, while up-to-date traffic control and surveillance software will also be introduced. Police officers are currently undertaking a training course for the new equipment, although the news has largely

“We know it might be unpopular, but it is not an effort to bring in more money…we are looking for a deterrent that will make drivers more aware.”
A DAWN shooting in Malaga’s Garcia Grana district has resulted in the arrest of a 26-year-old man after he seriously injured two others in the early hours of Monday May 30. A spokesperson for 112 Emergency Service confirmed that gunshots were fired just after midnight in Plaza Biznaga, with witnesses including National and Local Police officers, plus city street-cleaners. Two men, aged 25 and 32, were taken to hospital with shoulder and abdominal injuries, respectively, and the alleged gunslinger was apprehended despite initially fleeing the scene. Both injured parties have undergone surgery and are recuperating in the Intensive Care Unit of the Regional Hospital, with preliminary investigations suggesting the incident was drug-related.

Brexit, the elephant in the room Ask the expert Peter Loveday Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com
WITH the UK’s referendum on Europe approaching on June 23, 2016, the campaign for both sides is gaining pace. The Brexit vote is also the major focus and driver for the Great British Pound and this will continue to play out in the run up to voting day. Since the announcement of the vote in February, the pound has eroded in value and this process was catalysed when Boris Johnson aligned with the ‘leave’ camp. After a period of consolidation in the last few weeks, we expect volatility to start to ramp up with the options market pricing in a significant spike in volatility for the month of June. Momentum for the pound will be closely aligned to expectations on the result, at the moment it is slightly leaning towards ‘remain’ and we are seeing some pound gains.
EXCHANGE RATE: Instability and volatility of the pound continues. However momentum could shift sharply if polls show the ‘leave’ camp gaining momentum, in which case the pound will fall. In the Scottish referendum vote in 2014,
the market was largely ignoring the chance of a negative result until polls a week ahead showed in favour of a vote for independence, the result was a sharp nosedive in
the pound across the market. In addition, the latest general election confirms that we can no longer really trust the polls as they certainly did not predict a majority Conservative government. A better indicator would be the bookmakers who currently favour a vote to ‘remain,’ and it will be interesting to see how these odds change in the coming days. To gauge an overall indication we can look to the polls, the bookmakers and risk premium pricing in financial markets but still we face uncertainty. The cloud of uncertainty alone is currently holding the pound back to some extent, despite the uptick on the lean towards remain. As we approach polling day, we expect headlines and polls to drive price action in the pound both ways depending on how the news is leaning, and of particular importance will be the proposed television debates in the run up. The Brexit vote has been the elephant in the room, capping pound gains since the vote date was announced, and this is expected to continue.

AFTER a meeting in Brussels that finished at 2am on May 25, the Eurozone and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have come to an agreement over another loan to assist Greece’s struggling economy. The payment has allegedly been split in order to comply with requests from the German government, and will now be sent to the recession-hit country in two separate instalments. The final agreed sum of €10.3 billion is apparently a significant reduction to what the IMF originally expected to achieve. Discussions went on for 11 hours, principally because of differing positions between the IMF and Germany. The IMF demanded on Monday, May 23 that Greece’s bailout programme included ‘upfront’ and ‘unconditional’ debt relief, however they have had to make massive concessions due to Germany’s stance; the central European state was adamant that no loans should even be considered before Greece completes its current €86 billion bailout programme, due to end only in 2018.
European Parliament
Eurozone’s €10.3 billion Greece bailout
BAILOUT BUDDIES: Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and EU Parliament President Martin Schulz. It has been speculated that Germany’s reluctance to assist its EU neighbour is due to growing fears over lost votes ahead of the October
2017 federal elections; the governing party has previously faced public backlash for financial decisions in relation to Greece. Greece’s cur-
rent debt stands at €321 billion and is worth 180 per cent of their annual economic output. The new bailout programme is the
second instalment of Greece’s third bailout and the agreed sum of €10.3 billion will be split into two tranches: €7.5 billion in June and €2.8 billion in September. Despite appearances, several Eurozone finance ministers have conceded that they believe Greece has implemented enough changes to earn another bailout; Athens agreed on contingency measures, including tax increases worth €3.6 billion and spending cuts, earlier in May. The recent austerity measures and tax increases, agreed on by the Greek parliament on Sunday May 22, were praised by the Eurozone community. The new bailout programme also includes short-term debt relief measures such as reorganised repayment measures and the locking in of lower interest rates. Furthermore, Greece is also now expected to profit from the European Central Bank by buying eurobonds; since 2014 the Greek government has been unable to benefit from bond arrangements due to a dispute, however it is probable that transfers will be restarted in light of the new bailout programme.

A politician we can trust? David Cameron is now running scared.
LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT IN my opinion David Cameron is now running scared. In his barely disguised panic, he is actually revealing his true contempt for the voters who put him into office. With every ludicrous statement concerning the downside of leaving the EU, he insults the intelligence of the public even more. Well, tread a little more carefully Dave, better leaders than you have underestimated the British people. You may consider your constituents as inferior peasants, but public schooling and a lofty disdain for those with intellect ‘below’ your standing blinds you to the fact that your average Joes are a great deal brighter than you may think. Personally I don’t believe the leader of our country should be on any side. To my mind he should be a mediator. Garnering all the facts together and presenting both sides of the argu-

ment; it is far more serious than that. This is a vote for the future, and probably the survival of our children and our culture. All this bickering,
traded insults and increasingly inane statements from our politicians are not helping at all. We need a voice of impartial reason, someone we can
trust and rely on to tell us the truth. Unfortunately Dave, although it should be, it certainly isn’t you. In fact casting an eye over the whole ragbag of the nation’s power-mad politicians, I actually couldn’t come up with one name I truly thought could reach this particular criterion. Now if we could resurrect Enoch Powell, I think the quest would be far easier. Ah well, dream on Leapy. As a final thought this week: correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the economists warn us all those years ago that not joining the Euro would also result in economic isolation and monetary disaster for the UK? Mmm? Thanks for all your mail. Keep ‘em coming, the ol’ boy can still take it. And whatever you do, always Keep the Faith. Love Leapy. Leapylee2002@gmail.com.

The Tory Civil War is heading for a bloody climax on June 23 Nora Johnson

WITH the Tories descending into civil war over the upcoming referendum with vicious claim and counterclaim, you have to wonder what the outcome will be. One thing’s for sure though, the Tory party won’t ever be the same again. On the one hand, the remainers warn that Brexit could be “very dangerous” for the NHS, food prices and mortgage rates will soar, and Cameron effectively accusing Brexiteers, including his own defence minister, of flat-out lying about the prospect of Turkey joining the EU. The Brexiteers, meanwhile, claim the UK’s powerless to stop Turkey, point to a secret government memo showing the EU costing UK billions,
EU COST: Secret government memo shows EU is costing UK billions. with dear old Boris even “comparing the EU to Hitler.” All this, then, plus respected former MI6 spy chief, Sir Richard Dearlove, warning that the EU is facing a “populist uprising” amid growing anger from voters who feel they’ve been betrayed by political
elites in London, Paris, Berlin and Brussels. “If Europe cannot act together to persuade a significant majority of its citizens that it can gain control of its migratory crisis then the EU will find itself at the mercy of a populist uprising, which is already stirring.”
Sir Richard describes Britain’s in/out referendum as “the first roll of the dice in a bigger geopolitical game,” and brands the EU-Turkey deal “perverse, like storing gasoline next to the fire we’re trying to extinguish.” Oops! Here’s hoping for the EU’s sake, Sir Richard’s warn-
ing is a wake-up call rather than a wake. Finally, have you read the latest about the private security company, G4S? We all know about its past débâcles: the London Olympics security fiasco, overcharging for tagging offenders, losing its prison contracts, losing prisoners (when ‘Group 4’), etc. Now it’s been caught inventing emergency 999 calls. I wonder what contract they’ll be offered next: running the in/out referendum? Let’s face it, they couldn’t run a bath, but would charge a fortune to prove it.

OPINION & COMMENT
What price independence? This is the most important decision that we Britons will ever make.
Colin Bird A weekly look Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-thewall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.
IN recent weeks, we have been led to believe that in leaving the EU, Europe would be plunged into war, Britain’s economy would descend into chaos, immigration would expand, and unemployment would swell dramatically. Moreover that we would be less safe. Yes, well, tell that to the people of Paris and Brussels. Given that this is the most important decision that we Britons will ever make, Cameron’s declarations are utterly disgraceful. Like all politicians he knows that the most effective way of bringing the people to heel, is to scare the hell out of them. This is why there have been no reassuring words to the many UK nationals living across Europe should we vote to leave.
EU REFERENDUM: Remain in union or go it alone? That is the question. No one knows for sure what would happen, but in the interest of millions of EU citizens living in Britain, as well as us expats, mutual agreements would have to be struck. Failure to do so would cause serious damage to the
Spanish and other EU economies. As for the threat of war, I wonder, as Cameron bows his head before the Cenotaph in November, what the ‘Glorious Dead’ would think of a peaceful Europe that is increasingly dominated by Germany.
Just recently it was reported that the Germans are pushing for a European army in which they should take a leading role. Think about that. The fact that President Obama hopped on a plane to support his pal Dave, has no
bearing on the issue. America has always pursued a policy of self interest and is only concerned with how their powerful conglomerates, aka the owners of US politicians, will benefit. Likewise large corporations and the global banking fraternity. Just look at their record. Their recent history alone should make us doubt the veracity of anything they tell us. Ordinary people are simply cannon fodder for their ambitions. It is of course a worrying time for us expats, but the choice is clear: Freedom for Britain to make its own decisions and laws, or increasingly become a Euro lackey governed by unelected bureaucrats.

The story behind the face John Smith Random thoughts... IN response to one of my page 3 articles, three readers wrote in to complain about the position I had taken and accused me of a number of things which were based on supposition rather than fact so this week, I will be more than happy to give some of my background and that of my family in order to balance the picture. Naturally we are very happy to receive comments from any of our readers but it is interesting how the Brexit situation has really encouraged those who are in favour to be most vociferous in their comments and perhaps a little unkind in dismissing opposing opinion. My grandfather was one of the officers in Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee Parade and went on to train Australian troops and then fight at Gallipoli where he was mentioned in dispatches. My father served in China prior to the Second World War, returned to the UK as an officer in the Home Guard as he

OUR VIEW
PEOPLE: Waiting to vote.
Referendum countdown IT is really quite amazing that the run up to the Brexit referendum has become something of a very poor film script with vaguely believable characters on both sides pontificating on what will happen in the event of either remaining or leaving. It does seem at the moment that the remain camp seems to have the greatest support, but there are still a few weeks for those wanting to leave to promote their position and to change people’s minds. Almost as if set up, the matter of immigration has jumped to the front of the agenda, with two stories of British people-smugglers being caught bringing in Albanian families including children to the UK. When you consider that it is an island completely surrounded by water, there is little doubt that anyone competent and determined will be able to bring migrants over with little chance of detection. Clearly a certain number of Albanians are hedging their bets as they want to get into the UK before the referendum, in case Britain does leave the EU and before any final decision is made concerning that country’s admission to the Union. As we get nearer to the actual day of the referendum on June 23, there are also a large number of expatriates anxiously awaiting their voting papers, which should have been dispatched on May 23 to arrive, and hoping that there will be sufficient time for them to cast their vote and for it to arrive back in the UK in time to be counted.
of the Overseas Territories I was in regular contact with both the FCO, for whom I wrote certain draft papers and with the Palace as well. I try to be balanced in what I write although sometimes I may appear a little frivolous, but am in favour of remaining within the Union and do fear that people will cast their votes without understanding the situation. I don’t pretend that I am a journalist but am delighted to be a writer for a first class company which is very fair in allowing all opinions to appear in what are after all, six free newspapers greatly enjoyed by a huge number of expatriates. There are genuinely plenty of kind reviews of my work but I have quite fairly chosen to publish those that attack me and my opinions and that really sums up the Euro Weekly News.

Journalists’ jibes Mike Senker
In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I HAVE to admit that I enjoy TV shows like Britain’s Got Talent (BGT), The X Factor, Strictly Come Dancing etc. like millions of others. So I get a little bit peed off when, after every show, the UK’s scum newspapers, usually the red tops, insist on trying to find something to put the winners, or any contestant that comes on to entertain us, down. Saturday night there was a guy who dro p p e d 1 2 f e e t d o w n a p o le an d stopped an inch away from a chain saw. All the papers could say was that he had a safety cord attached to his ankle. So what? I’d like to see those ‘journalists’ even attempt to get up the pole in the first place! Why do they feel it’s their job to spoil my entertainment? Why do they have to do it to everyone that has a bit of success? Every day last week they printed something they considered detrimental to one of the contestants on BGT? For what value? Do I care that a young 14-year-old girl once
sung in a stage show or two dancers danced in another show and the winner was not too bright when he previously appeared on The Chase? No I don’t. Then I’ve just watched Top Gear. I enjoyed it. Why? Because I’m not comparing it to the old one. I’m just enjoying a car show. But you would have thought that the new presenters had committed mass murder if you read the papers today (Monday). Am I the only one that just puts these shows on to be entertained? There is so mu ch d oom a nd gloom in the w orld right now with wars, terrorists, etc. So just let me watch my TV shows which I’m not meant to be watching because of greedy licensing laws by the way. Wow I’m really grumpy this week but it gets me so annoyed to see people that are trying to entertain millions of people have stuff written about them that sometimes has no relevance or truth by useless no talented, tabloid press. I feel better now so I’ll finish with a joke. My annoying neighbour was banging on my door at 3 o’clock this morning …... luckily I was still up playing my drums! Think I’ll enter BGT next year. What do you think?

OPINION & COMMENT
LEGALLY SPEAKING More potential road hazards AS part of the series, we answer some common driving questions and keep you updated on the latest driving and road news kindly provided by members of the Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.
OBSTACLES: If you need to ‘moove’ into opposite lane you must give way. EVERY time we get behind the wheel of a car to embark on a journey our fate lies somewhat in the hands of others and there are potential hazards at every turn. Last week we looked at some of the hazards and this week here are some more hazards drivers meet and how you can best avoid the risk. Obstacles in the road: There are countless items that could find themselves in the road and pose a problem to vehicles, fallen trees, items fallen from vehicles, rocks and boulders, parked cars, the list is almost endless. If you encounter an obstruction one thing you must be aware of is that if you have to invade the opposite lane then you must give way to oncoming vehicles and only pass when safe to do so. Permanent road features: It is vital that you pay attention to surroundings by reading and observing the physical signs on a road, like maximum permitted speed limits or warnings of hazards ahead. Also look at the
physical characteristics of the road itself for junctions, narrow streets, dangerous bends, elevation changes and dips, blind corners and merging traffic. Parking: When parking your vehicle, always choose a location that is safe, legal and convenient. Respect distances between vehicles, look for signs or signals that prevent or restrict parking. Be careful when opening your door, look in the mirrors and around the vehicle for cyclists, motorbikes, pedestrians or other cars. Reversing vehicles: Always try to avoid reversing wherever possible as the field of vision is significantly reduced. Reversing into a parking bay makes it safer and more convenient for leaving, and avoid reversing from a minor road to a major road. Animals: Animals in the road pose a major risk, especially in countryside areas. Drive slowly and always respect distance, because animals are unpredictable and can be startled.

Can we change quotas? Some owners in our community have extended their properties by almost 50 square metres, making them into units of three bedrooms and three bathrooms. My own property is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit, as originally designed and built. However, I pay the highest community charges due to the original quota system established in the year 2000. Is it possible to have the cuota reassessed? I have asked at the AGM for equal shares, but this was refused. S M (Costa Blanca) Yes, it is possible to change the assignment of quotas. In your case, it is necessary in order to match the reality of the new construction. Ask these questions: Did the owners have community permission

Impact of referendum result IN response to Philip and Vera of Palma de Mallorca (Issue 1612) “comfortable and secure in Spain”......how so?? If the UK votes to exit the EU then all EU citizens would lose the right to reside in the UK and conversely we would lose the right to remain in Spain (or any other EU country). I have read of some rights to reside which might accrue in respect to the length of time spent here but whether this right would be applied and how long you need to have been here to enjoy this benefit has not been clarified, and obviously that covers only existing residents not ones (your children or grandchildren perhaps) who might want to work and live in an EU country in the future. The idea that the result of the referendum “would not make much difference either way” is seriously delusional. Denise Payne, Murcia

‘Puzzled’ students want more
OAP response
The unknown BACK in UK for a few weeks. The UK public are being bombarded here with ridiculous statements all of which are just lies. Firstly we get so called statements of economic fact about impending disaster. If they can make these ‘accurate’ statements, why couldn’t the same ‘experts’ predict the bank crisis? Why did we need a period of austerity when these ‘experts’ should have seen it coming and introduced measures which would have prevented or mitigated against the need for any public pain. The simple answer is, they are incapable of telling the truth, which is that THEY JUST DON’T KNOW. I will vote LEAVE, not because I won’t live or holiday in Europe but because I want to stand up to people who have no interest in me as a British person. Pete Godfrey, Cala Millor, Mallorca
Religion blight IN response to John Smith’s Random Thoughts: Does Religion Belong in Politics? (Issue 1611) Oh dear! John you make the same mistake most people make when th e y d i sc u ss t h is ma tte r. There seems to be an assumption that because a person is ‘religious’ that this somehow makes them incapable of governing simply by
arch enemies? Don’t forget we were only allowed membership as De Gaulle wanted our expertise for Concorde. This is yet another Cameron myth. We are expected to be gullible enough to believe, like all the other fairy tales to which his campaign has given voice, the latest that ‘every expat wishes to stay.’ George Morland

plete this crossword every week in our class. We would like to have more English-Spanish puzzles in your newspaper. We hope that you can publish some more for us, please. We love your newspaper! Thank you very much. Best wishes from the 2nd year Practical English class, IES Núm. 1 Xàbia
DEAR EWN Having read in an earlier EWN about unfair pensions to us expats which I myself and many thousands of expats up in turmoil about the increase in pension for the UK married couples but not for the expats who have contributed to the system all their lives like myself. I’m now 80-years-old and married again in April but how can we not be entitled to the same benefit as UK citizens? I suppose it’s out of sight out of mind. England has the worst pension rate I think in the world, even in Spain they send their pensioners on a two week holiday with pay, pity we weren’t born here. I would like some comments from OAP expats and I appreciate you printing this comment. Thanks for your help. RJ Hackett, Benalmadena
Thespa thanks virtue of the fact they have a belief in a superhuman power of God (Webster’s definition of Religion). Wherever is the evidence that this is the case? Does your atheism (incidentally Webster ’s also defines religious as having a devout b elie f in a p rin ciple or c a us e ) make you more qualified to govern? All people come to a position of governance, oversight or leadership with their own principles and they are influenced by them. If I, as Christian, believe in hone s ty, h a rd w o rk , inte grity a nd kindness does that make me incapable of providing leadership? Religious people are blighted by hypocrisy for sure but do you really believe that non-religious people are therefore automatically free of dishonesty? I see no evidence of this! Please do not confuse extreme people, whether reli-
gious or not, with those who have high ideals and do their best to live up to them. Greg Hall, Duquesa
Nonsensical I REFER to Leapy Lee’s week of May 19th column, in which he outdoes even his usual prejudices. Gays, blacks, Muslims, and the Chinese all come in for his special brand of vituperative bile. Leapy Lee may well say it when others only think it, but one has to ask why these silent people acknowledge that it is inappropriate to say it. Could it be that in Spain, which has a significant Muslim population, it is the British who are the immigrants? We all know that the world is becoming a more dangerous place because of extremist views which are fuelled by inflammatory nonsense
and which set out to dehumanise and denigrate others. We are not helping by adding Leapy Lee’s ill-researched hyperbole to the cacophony. L Bailey, Nerja
Expat myth DEAR Editor David Cameron is telling us to vote for Brexit as he has told us the existing terms of membership are unacceptable and, as his earth shattering ‘new deal’ will not be ratified before our referendum, if ever, the only course is to vote for EXIT. The number of times his government has performed some spectacular u-turns in recent history illustrates how the supposed intentions of a political body can’t be trusted or guaranteed, so why should the EU be any different especially when influenced by the French and Germans, our historical

Free tickets for festival
Meetings held in Brussels
Air pollution concerns
THE Ministry of Culture has confirmed children aged 12 and under will be allowed free entry into the Gibraltar Music Festival on September 3 and 4. Every child must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Children’s free tickets can be collected from the Ministry of Culture at City Hall, John Mackintosh Square (Piazza) from Monday June 6 from 10am to 2pm.
AFTER another whistle-stop tour of Brussels which took in 20 meetings in 48 hours Chief Minister Fabian Picardo QC and the Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia returned to Gibraltar tired but pleased as they were able to discuss a number of important matters including the possible aftermath of the Referendum which takes place on June 23.
DUE to its concerns at the pollution levels it inherited, the Government has been working hard, since elected at the end of 2011, to improve air quality in Gibraltar. Data shows pollution levels have in fact been decreasing. Data used by WHO concerning pollution in Gibraltar is from 2008 to 2013, therefore mainly from the previous government’s term in office.
Embarrassing mistake
COMPLETELY MISUNDERSTOOD: Chief Minister Fabian Picardo in London at Calpe House.
AS part of a joint project between 13 Overseas Territories, funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, a new Internet Watch Foundation Reporting Portal which will allow web users to report images and videos of child sexual abuse safely and anonymously went live on June 1. The site can be accessed at the website www.report.iwf.org.uk/gi or via the RGP website www.police.gi. Child abuse has been a problem in certain Territories with small populations and therefore a small gene pool, but hopefully this initiative will help to protect children for the future.
Renewable wave energy system ACCORDING to a filmed report broadcast on GBC TV which also appears on their website, the first ever renewable wave energy system in Europe was launched in Gibraltar by the Chief Minister on May 26. The government signed an agreement with Israeli company Eco Wave Power to introduce this form of low cost clean electricity and this is part of a plan to increase the level of renewable energy including solar power. There does however appear to be some disagreement as to

TO paraphrase a quote from Mark Twain concerning his reported death, ‘the report of Gibraltar ’s annexation was an exaggeration’ promulgated by The Independent which is now an internet only newspaper and completely misunderstood the contents of an interview given by the Chief Minister on Sky News. It has had to amend an article which originally said that Gibraltar was threatening to join Spain if Britain voted to leave the EU in the upcoming referendum. In actual fact, what Mr Picardo said was that if Britain was to vote to leave and the PP remained in power following the Spanish election, then he expected the Spanish Government to demand talks concerning joint sovereignty with Spain which he said were a non-starter. Needless to say, Spanish newspapers immediately picked up on this mistake and ran stories as if this was true.

Although Derek and Hansel aren’t as hot right now as they used to be, there is still some warmth to be felt here.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) There is a highly social week ahead with social gatherings here and there. A trip means that finances start to look brighter. You may find it necessary, if you are to progress, to consider a move to another job or area. Get involved with people who have been in the same situation. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) There is a great impatience this week when someone flatly refuses to see something through to the end. You do not admire sloppiness and your reaction shows this. It may be necessary for you to sort out a situation which has been going on far too long. As you dislike loose ends in any respect, your patience may come to an end. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Energy is high and there is a lot of fun to be had. An invitation sent out brings an old friend to your table. This is not as straightforward as you think it will be. Odd stirrings make you confused.
GEMINI
(May 22 - June 21)
Your mind, as ever, is changeable. This is a fun time to dabble at this and that to bring a bit of variety to your life and work. Meeting new people and starting new projects means that it is a busy time at work but the rewards are high.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You feel like a fish out of water in a confused and noisy situation. Perhaps you are not making the right kind of friends, so take control of the quality of people who you associate with. Maybe it is relatives that are causing concern. You cannot choose your relatives, but it is possible to see less of them. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) This is a great social week. Your puppylike enthusiasm attracts others and a barrage of good vibes comes your way. Indeed, your relaxed attitude allows someone close to get their own life a bit more into perspective. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) People look to you to guide them through the maze of right and wrong this week. Your talent for bringing humour into the most tense situations is invaluable midweek. Summer is a socialising time for you and it is all steam ahead as you issue invitations and receive some back.
ODD ONE OUT 1. Which of the following is not a breed of dog: Basenji, Bichon Frise, Borzoi, Briard, Burmilla? 2. Which of the following is not the name of a professional rugby league (Super League) team: Castleford Tigers, Leeds Rhinos, Sheffield Steelers, Widnes Vikings, Wigan Warriors? 3. Which of the following trees is not an evergreen: Douglas fir, European ash, Lebanon cedar, Norway spruce, red pine? 4. Which of these artists was not a member of the PreRaphaelite Brotherhood (later known as the PreRaphaelites): Dante Gabriel Rossetti, George Stubbs, James Collinson, John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt? 5. Which of these countries is not a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO): Austria, Canada, Croatia, Norway, Romania? 6. Which of these groups is the only one to have ever had UK number one hit single: Black Sabbath, Dire Straits, Genesis, Soft Cell, the Carpenters? 7. Which of these is not a member of the woodwind section of an orchestra: contrabassoon, cor anglais, euphonium, flageolet, piccolo? 8. Which of these is not a genuine title of a book in the ‘Noddy’ series by Enid Blyton: Noddy Goes to School, Noddy Goes to Sea, Noddy Goes to the Cinema, Noddy Goes to the Fair, Noddy Goes to Toyland? 9. Which of these performers has never played the part of Eva Peron in the musical ‘Evita’: Barbra Streisand, Elaine Paige, Julie Covington, Madonna, Patti LuPone? 10. Which of these words is spelled correctly: accomodation, apparantly, bizzare, idiosyncracy, supersede? Not a lot of people know that... the 1980s TV quiz programme ‘Odd One Out’, hosted by Paul Daniels, was based on a short-lived American game show called ‘Knockout’, hosted by Arte Johnson
YOUR STARS CANCER (June 22 - July 23) This is an emotional week, when it is difficult to keep things to yourself. Get together with others and do a bit of social networking. Talk, and if you cannot bring yourself to confess to a problem, say that it is a friend of yours who has it. Certainly, you need to share this concern to get a balanced picture.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) You like to do your own things in your own way and in your own time. That certainly shows this week. It can cause a bit of a stir with family. Even so, it will inspire someone close to step forward and make their own stand. Put someone straight when they step out of line. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) The kind nature that is so much a part of you is only too evident this week. A situation makes you feel frustrated and you need to find a way forward. A bit of expert advice goes a long way even if it does mean that you still have to go it alone. Be strong and remind yourself that this is for someone else. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) As you prefer living in the here and now, you find it difficult to understand and tolerate people who plot and plan in advance. It is tedious in the extreme to consider every little detail of something which may never happen. Because there is this relaxed attitude, you have developed a larger-than-life personality. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) This time of year reminds you just how much you enjoy home comforts. Plan ahead now for those chilly winter nights when the air is crisp and the wine is mulled. The urge is to work with others this week and that in itself throws up plans for evenings ahead. Having planned a romantic weekend there may need to be some adjustments.

TOP 10 European Cities to live in
Following On: The Wood For The Trees
By Richard Fortey
RICHARD FORTEY is a respected paleontologist who spent his working life at the Natural History Museum. A few years ago he retired from poring over fossilised marine arthropods and escaped “into the open air.” With the proceeds from presenting a natural history television series he bought four acres of beech and bluebell wood in the Chiltern Hills. It is hard to think of a more treasured aspect of the British landscape than woodland, which is surprising when you consider how far we seem to have wandered from the trees, and this book allows the reader to feel a little closer to nature thanks to the author ’s vivid, passionate style. books@euroweeklynews.com
JUST one Spanish city, Malaga, made the top 10 in a European study published this year on the best cities to live in, which was based on answers to surveys on quality of life. These are the 10 cities on the continent which were given the best ratings by their residents: 1. Oslo, Norway One of Europe’s fastest-growing cities, with a population approaching 700,000, the largest city in Norway is turning into a cosmopolitan hub full of world-class museums, restaurants, art and eye-catching architecture yet manages to retain a relaxed atmosphere. Due to its compact centre and efficient transport services, residents can live perfectly well without a car. 2. Zurich, Switzerland Described as a metropolis of experiences by the water, Zurich with its stunning view of the snow-capped Alps on the horizon offers a unique combination of museums, art galleries and fashion and design and boasts the best nightlife in Switzerland. Its location on the shores of Lake Zurich and nearby countryside means the multicultural city really does have something for all tastes. 3. Aalborg, Denmark North Jutland’s main industrial and commercial centre, Aalborg’s prosperity relied until fairly recently on heavy industry but now factories are quickly being replaced by technological and green-energy based sectors leading to a more ecologically and resident friendly city. 4. Vilnius, Lithuania The capital of Lithuania, Vilnius is known for its baroque architecture, especially in its medieval old town which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. The cosmopolitan city has a thriving community of bohemian artists and is also home to thousands of students from its various

Play on Words OSLO, NORWAY: No need for a car. universities. Like Oslo, residents report high levels of satisfaction with the public transport system, which 45 per cent of the population uses to get to work. 5. Belfast, Northern Ireland The capital and largest city in Northern Ireland and the second largest city in all of Ireland after Dublin, Belfast has a fast-growing population and remains a centre for industry, the arts and higher education. In contrast to others it is a relatively car-dependant city but makes up for it with its wealth of bars, art and cultural events, residents believe. 6. Hamburg, Germany Second only to Berlin in size and population, Hamburg is home to one of Europe’s largest harbours and boasts many waterways and canals, hence its nickname ‘Venice of the North.’ Residents have called it one of the most livable cities in Europe thanks to its size, big enough to have it all, but small enough to be comfortable, and its prices. 7. Rostock, Germany Rostock has been transformed from a former industrial city to one with a maritime character and a centre of culture and science. The harbour city is green and on the seaside, meaning it attracts many tourists who add to the
multicultural feel. Locals boast of a high quality of life with a broad range of cultural and leisure options and excellent residential and shopping opportunities. 8. Copenhagen, Denmark A traditional member of lists of top cities for quality of life, Copenhagen is safe, clean and a beautiful place to live. It has a stable economy, good education and a social safety net. Known to be a very environmentally friendly place, the city even has low railings at traffic lights for cyclists to rest a foot on due to the number of people who get about by bike. 9. Malaga, Spain Malaga has literally reinvented itself over recent years, transforming from a rather dull old place into a hive of activity which is fast attracting new residents from all over the world who are drawn to the cultural melting pot of the Costa del Sol. 10. Munich, Germany Last but not least, Munich is a prosperous city which retains a cosy smalltown feel with lots of green spaces and a sophisticated cultural life. Germany’s version of Silicon Valley, Munich has attracted hundreds of high-tech companies which have attracted a large international population.

Vertigo – the dizzy side of neck pain By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com YOUR neck is a pretty critical part of the body – it is, after all, the main connection between your brain and every other part of you. It can also play a large part in Vertigo. What is Vertigo? Vertigo is often characterised as ‘dizzy spells’, the world feels as if it is spinning and you often lose your balance. This sensation can be caused by a variety of reasons: 1. Meniere’s disease, an inner ear disorder often associated with tinnitus and hearing loss. 2. Vestibular Neuritis or Labyrinthitis, when an infec-
tion causes inflammation around the nerves in the inner ear. 3. Migraines, vertigo is often a symptom of migraine . . . or vice versa! 4. Head or neck problems What to do: If you are suffering from dizzy spells there are 3 key things to get checked: 1. Blood pressure and blood sugar, a simple test from your doctor will eliminate this.
2. Hearing, see an audiologist to check for signs of damage to the inner ear. 3. Physical, see a physiotherapist to be assessed for cervical spine issues and nerve inflammation. For more information on treating vertigo please check out our blog www.TheBody worksClinic.com/blog, our Facebook page, Bodyworks Health Clinic or call us on 952 883 151.

Battling bloat WANT a flatter stomach in a day? Try these quick fixes to help achieve a slimmer look: Drink more water: The body is made up of around 70 per cent water and many people think drinking less will make you cut down on bloating, but this is not true and adequate water should be drank throughout the day. Careful on fruits and vegetables: Choose your fruits and vegetables carefully as broccoli, along with cauliflower and cabbage can cause bloating and excess wind. No sweet treats: Avoid refined carbohydrates like pastas and pastries as they are likely to cause bloating. They also often contain wheat, which can be a problem for people with IBS symptoms. Limit spices: Spicy foods like curry can cause irritation or ferment in the digestive system causing bloating. Chew properly: Chew each mouthful until the food is liquid, this helps ensure the food is properly digested, but it will also help you to eat slower and therefore eat less.
Prescribed drug spend EACH year, Spain spends €9.183 billion a year in drugs through prescription billing. According to a recent report, based on 2013 data, the drug most consumed is Omeprazole, which is used to treat symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease. This drug represented 6.4 per cent of all drugs prescribed.

Brought to you by
Persistent cough
SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. This week Dr Perez Belmonte has answered a letter from a reader who is worried about a lingering night time cough. Dear Doctor, I’m 38 and about six months ago I caught a cold which took a long time to go away. Although I feel much better now, I’ve been left with a cough. This isn’t unusual for me as I smoke and it happens most winters. However my problem is at night in bed I start coughing and my chest feels congested. Sometimes I wake myself up making a gurgling noise in my throat or chest. I’ve tried mucolytics, first Fluimucil then Pectox, but there’s been no change. My husband says even when I’m not making the gurgling noise I snore and tells me I must stop smoking and lose weight (I’m about 10 kilos overweight). I know he’s right but I work long hours in a stressful job and it isn’t easy to change my habits. As the mucolytics haven’t helped this time I’m worried it could be something serious. What should I do? Any advice that isn’t just ‘stop smoking and go on a diet!?’ Thank you.
The Doctor replied: This year colds and flu bugs are lasting longer because viruses are more virulent than in previous years. Coughs and mucus can take months to disappear, especially in smokers or people with excess weight. This type of patient has a higher risk of complications such as bugs turning into bacterial infections which makes them much worse and can result in pneumonia. This would give symptoms including difficulty breathing, high fevers and greenish-yellow phlegm. In this case, as well as mucolytics and medication to reduce coughing and inflammation, antibiotics would also be required. In my opinion, if you’ve had this problem for many weeks you should see a Specialist in Internal Medicine who will recommend a complete blood test, analysis of mucus and a chest xray. Obviously you also need to stop smoking, try to lose weight and try to reduce your stress levels.
If you have any questions for Dr Perez Belmonte, please send them to: jefemedico@helicopterossanitarios.com The Coast’s Home GP service - wherever you are - at home - in the office - in the car - on the golf course your GP will get to see you any time, anywhere.

‘Vaping’ away pain USING e-cigarettes or vaporisers could be a safer way to take medical marihuana. Scientists suggest inhaling instead of smoking marihuana to relieve pain, may be safer. Gas samples generated after inhaling concentrated hash oil found that users inhaled significantly less of the toxic contaminants in marihuana. Marihuana can be prescribed in the UK and 17 other European countries for medical reasons. However, a professor from Imperial College London, said although the study showed interesting results, a cannabis ‘vaping’ device would currently be illegal in the UK.

Blossoming and fragrant Dick Handscombe
Gardening Corner By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.
WELL we have experienced yet another non-traditional May in terms of rainfall. Traditionally the month opens with heavy thunderstorms that soaked the ground to enable planting holes for late flowering shrubs and trees to be easily dug, to stimulate the formation of fruit on olive and other fruit trees and enable secano (growing without regular watering) of melon, squash and onion crops It also raises the water table, especially on the north facing where a line of springs ran throughout the year to provide inexpensive running agricultural water and the possibility of bottling up pristine unchlorinated water for domestic cooking and drinking. Since none of this happened even more villagers have given up traditional agricultural practices and expat gardeners have had to commence summer levels of watering early with very low water tables so there will be no let up until the autumn. It’s difficult to believe that the first summer we spent in
LANTANA: Noticeable difference at the end of May with south facing plants in full bloom, unlike the north facing. Spain, in the late 80’s, it had rained on 10 days in May and it rained on eight in the first half of June. But despite the climatic changes gardens are certainly becoming colourful and perfumed and great vegetable crops are being harvested with those being grown in well prepared soil mixes in raised beds or builder’s buckets which are less water demanding than poorly prepared vegetable plots in the open ground. In the latter case success comes from ensuring that the top 30 centimetres of soil contains 30 per cent of worked in composts from compost heaps, local horse
stables and sheep or goat sheds or bags of ground up well composted animal manures. In recent years the use of a little TerraCottem water conserving soil improver available via the TerraVida website www.terravida.com at the bottom of planting holes and in seed drills has certainly paid off. It may seem expensive at first but one uses so little per planting that it is in fact economical in water and plant savings. Those who developed their garden as four mini gardens, each on one side of the house will have noticed significant differences in the speed of leafing up and
flowering of plants such as lantanas, hibiscus and roses as illustrated in the two photographs. During the last winter cut back both plants had been pruned to the same size and neither have been watered being now 20-year-old plants. This adds to the interest of gardening in Spain and by midsummer both lantana plants will be equal, indeed the north facing plant may well require more summer pruning as it will require less watering as temperatures rise to the mid-30’s. © Dick Handscombe June 2016

PIDDLING, that is, squatting to urinate when it becomes excited or when it greets its owners or strangers is a fairly common behaviour in young puppies. The proper name for this behaviour is submissive urination. Understanding why your puppy does it is the key to solving this behaviour problem. Thousands of years ago there were no dogs on the earth, only wolves. At some time there was an interaction between man and wolves and gradually through centuries of selective breeding, man has slowly changed the wolf into dog. We have created a different animal in appearance and manner. But, there is behaviour, which we have not changed. One of the behaviours that has remained is the tendency towards submissive urination. In a wolf pack, the way a wolf cub keeps from getting beat up by an older animal is to give a signal that says “I acknowledge that you are the big bad wolf.”
SKYPE: Helping Daisy settle when her owner’s on holiday.
TOP DOG: Your puppy’s piddling is just a signal to you that you are the master. That signal is to squat and urinate. It has the absolute power to halt aggression by the older animal. It is what we call a hard wired behaviour. That means it does not have to be learned and that it always works. An adult wolf confronted by a submissively urinating cub is powerless to be aggressive. Unfortunately, we humans are not hard wired to be nonaggressive when confronted by submissive urination. Our reaction, quite often, is just the opposite of what puppy ‘knows’ will happen when it acknowledges our superiority.
Since it knows that squatting and urinating will stop aggression, it can only assume that the punishment we dish out means that we did not understand its signal. The answer, it thinks, is to give a bigger signal. So, instead of a tiny puddle, we get a large one. Punishing submissive urination always makes the problem worse. The only solution anyone has found to the problem is to react as though you are a wolf, to be non-aggressive. As your puppy matures, submissive urination will slowly cease if you do not exacerbate it by punishment. In the mean-
time, how do we address the problem of wet, ammonia smelling carpets? When you arrive home or have visitors try to greet your puppy outdoors. It will squat and urinate, but at least it will do so on grass. Approach playtime, inside, with a low-key, calm attitude or, better, take your puppy outside to play. If it does piddle on the carpet, calmly blot the wet spot with paper towels, slosh white vinegar on the spot and blot that up. White vinegar will kill the odor of both urine and faeces. And finally, rejoice. This problem will, in time, correct itself.
DAISY recognises her owner via Skype! Daisy and her owner Junita are regular clients of ours at HouseSitMatch as Junita loves travelling to the mediterranean every summer and regularly finds house-sitters for Daisy through HouseSitMatch.com. Junita registered as a homeowner on the site a couple of years ago. Two months before her holiday every year she creates a house-sit advert, posts a photo of Daisy doing one of her many tricks, and waits for the house-sitters to get in touch. It usually takes about three to four weeks for sitters to contact her. Daisy is an only dog, and a very emotional Cocker Spaniel to boot. She can pine somewhat even though she stays at her home and is comfortable in her
own surroundings with sitters she likes, so she gets very excited and is happy when her owner calls to check in via Skype. Her hearing is remarkable and she can identify her owner’s voice from the laptop even when she is in another room. Once she has said hello she happily returns to whatever game she was playing. Sitters are now briefed on working Skype so that at least once a week Daisy can say hello! House-sitting can be a winwin for both parties, free house and pet-sitting and the experienced and checked sitters get free accommodation!

ALTHOUGH quite widely sold in Spain, especially in garden centres, sturgeons are
not easy to maintain and are best considered as pond fish due to their need for plenty of swimming space and steady temperatures, plus their large adult size. However, they are only viable additions to extremely large ponds with capacities measured in the thousands rather than hundreds of litres. A deep pond suitable forgrade-A koi should be adequate, although a robust filtration system and a water feature that improves oxygenation
should be considered essential. Ponds with stagnant or murky water are unlikely to provide the conditions that sturgeons need, and pool with at least one shady area helps. These fish cannot tolerate warm water for long, so direct sunlight should be avoided if possible as the optimal temperature range for most sturgeons is between 12-18 degrees Celsius. Temperatures below this range are no problem, and indeed a wintertime chill is generally good for
them. On the other hand, temperatures above 18 degrees Celsius quickly bring problems. In warm water fish may gasp at the surface due to lack of oxygen, or suffer from whitish skin lesions which can prove fatal. Increased water circulation helps, but supplementary aeration may be necessary, even in shady ponds with adequate flow, while a chiller unit should ideally be installed for the hot summer months.

We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA.

classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155.

THE hotly anticipated Mercedes-AMG GT R appears set to make its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June, with Michelin listing it as an exhibitor in the event’s Supercar Paddock. This will be the first time the car has been unveiled in public, although spy shots of the car in full camouflage gear have been seen during development in the Arctic. When it goes on sale, the two-seater, hard-core variant of the GT sports car is expected to
compete directly with the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Alongside an enhanced engine, the track-focused car features a number of aerodynamic upgrades aimed at improving airflow to and from the engine bay, while providing increased downforce on both axles. These include a new front bumper with a huge splitter element, modified ducts in the front wings, widened rear wings, a boot-mounted carbon fibre rear spoiler, a new rear bumper with inte-

grated lateral air duct to cool the rear differential, a massive hexagonal central exhaust, and a reworked dualchannel diffuser. The most distinctive stylistic feature, however, is arguably the eye-popping ‘Panamericana’ front grille, which was previously seen on the trackonly GT3 race car in late 2015, and gives the car an impressively menacing appearance. Under the bonnet, the car will
feature a tuned version of the twin-turbocharged 4.0litre V8 petrol engine from the GT and GT S, with new additions including a revised inlet manifold, extra boost pressure and a free-flowing titanium exhaust system. It is predicted to deliver some 570 bhp and 552 pound-feet of torque, and should outstrip the GT S, which reaches 100 km/h in

ECOBOOST: Electric cars are all the rage in 2016. THIS year’s Beijing motor show featured some typically idiosyncratic stuff, including lawyer-defeating Euro-clones and odd extended wheelbase versions of standard cars, but among the more intriguing cars on display was one which was styled in Spain. Inspired by Formula E race cars, the Arcfox-7 was unveiled by the Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation (BAIC) at the event, and although it might look similar to countless other next-generation produc-
tion cars, this one has no engine. Designed at BAIC’s Research and Development Centre in Barcelona, the car features a 603-bhp electric motor that catapults it to 100 km/h in less than three seconds, with a reported maximum speed of 260 km/h. Powered by a 66.6 kWh battery pack which gives the car a range of approximately 300km, the electric supercar also features a carbon fibre body and a futuristic interior constructed from “recyclable,
biodegradable, environmentally friendly materials,” plus a range of next-generation technology including fingerprint recognition and an incredible looking infotainment system. Although it weighs a hefty 1,755 kilos, braking should be formidable, with sixpiston calipers at the front and four-piston units to the rear, all mounted on carbon-ceramic brake discs. The car is expected to go on sale later in 2016, with prices still to be announced.
Big Brother is watching you MILLIONS of motorists a day are having images of their number plates captured by roads surveillance cameras, according to new figures. The UK’s network of over 9,000 automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras
are taking pictures of around 34 million vehicles every day, which are stored for up to two years. An image of the front of a vehicle, including its driver’s face, is captured whenever it passes an ANPR camera, which
are located on most motorways and other major roads. Police say the cameras, which are also installed inside patrol vehicles, allow officers to follow criminals in real time as they drive around the road network.
But Jonathan Bamford, of the Information Commissioner’s Office, has said they are also collecting images from millions of ordinary motorists. Privacy campaigners have called for a debate to be held on how the technology is used.
Rise of the Androids GOOGLE’s upcoming version of Android could see the tech giant’s operating system weave its way far deeper into car manufacturers’ entertainment and operating controls. The next Android, provisionally called Android N, will sit alongside an updated Android Auto system allowing drivers to control standard features such as sat-nav, music and Bluetooth. However, it will also be able to operate new areas of vehicle functionality, including air conditioning, heated seats, electric windows and even door locks. Google has worked with mobile technology company
Qualcomm on the joint project using a Maserati Ghibli as its test car, with the vehicle’s operating systems replaced with Android Auto on a large tablet-style split touchscreen, plus additional graphics on the instrument cluster directly behind the steering wheel. That said, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi have already joined forces to spend nearly €2.6 billion on acquiring Nokia’s HERE division, demonstrating that manufacturers remain committed to their own proprietary navigation systems despite the increasing influence of non-automotive brands such as Apple and Google.

MOTOR SPORT • Lewis Hamilton, after taking the lead 45 laps from home, went on to gain a superb victory in a close battle with Red Bull’s second-placed Aussie Daniel Ricciardo with Sergio Perez third in a thrilling Monaco Grand Prix to reignite his title campaign. H a m i l t o n ’s first win of 2016 enabled him to cut
the deficit to Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, who came seventh, to 24 points. And afterwards the British driver thanked ‘gentleman’ Rosberg for ‘letting him pass’ at a crucial stage in the race.
