Take selfies for charity On Christmas Day, José Pérez Bellido, a fireman in Marbella, saw an advertisement on TV showing the best viewpoints in the world and thought that Marbella should have one too, at the top of La Concha which is 1,200 metres high, and considered that it would be ideal to link this with a charity. Having chosen the Butterfly Children Charity (DEBRA Spain) as the nominated charity, the firemen, in cooperation with the Marbella Department of Sustainability and Mobility and with support from Caixa Bank and Obra Social, ‘La Caixa’ met with Mayor Jose Bernal and representatives of the parties involved on Wednesday, June 15, to launch the bench and their commitment to the charity. Also present were Nieves Montero, president and founder of the charity and Luis Lima, affected by ‘butterfly skin,’ for a photo call to announce the project called ‘Butterfly Children Charity Bench.’ After the presentation, firefighters began the ascent on

The mayor praised the firemen and showed appreciation for the support from Caixa Bank. He also congratulated the Butterfly Children Charity (DEBRA) for helping people with ‘butterfly skin’ in Spain. “Initiatives like this are necessary so that we have knowledge of other problems such
as people with butterfly skin,” said Bernal. The initiative will invite hikers visiting La Concha to share a ‘selfie’ on
Facebook and Twitter, mentioning #bancosolidario and @pieldemariposa. Nieves Montero also encour-
aged all who are fit and able to accompany the charity on Saturday, June 18, for the official inauguration of the bench.

Pride events are all-inclusive and merit the support of councils Flamenco dancer Alexia Rivero wowed the crowd at the Pink Weekend event
By Barry Duke STILL bathing in the afterglow of Benidorm’s Pink Weekend, last Friday I hooked up with Sammy Kruz, a member of the team that organises Pride and other related events in Benidorm. I needed some information from him to complete an article I was writing about the event for The Pink Humanist. All involved in the Pink Weekend were elated over its success, and I was in an upbeat mood as I discussed the main points I intended highlighting in the article. The most important, I thought, was the fact that it turned out to be an amazingly inclusive event. The crowds that gathered on the picturesque Mirador in Benidorm’s Old Town were made up of all nationalities, old and young, gay and straight, and they danced and sang and enthusiastically applauded the acts performing on a large stage. Sammy told me that he wanted to emphasise that the sole aim of the organisers, and Benidorm Council which supported them, was to bring the community together and create a special event that could be enjoyed by all “in our beautiful town,” and that both the Spanish and international press had praised them for achieving a wonderfully inclusive atmosphere. Then he totally wrecked my evening. “There’s something you should be aware of,” he said, and showed me a copy of an article written by John Smith in Euro Weekly News, headed “Does Spain need to consider whether it is now too liberal?” The very first line of that article had me gritting my teeth: “There is little doubt that during the Franco regime, some things could be considered better than they are today, in as much as the country was kept under a tight rein and there were less problems with hooliganism imported or home grown …”
Sammy Kruz
Nowadays Pride is for everyone, irrespective of age or sexual orientation. Was this a wind-up, or the genuine views of someone who honestly believes that there were positive aspects to an epoch presided over by a murderous fascist tyrant whose cruel, ironfis te d co n tro l o v er the Spanish people had the full s u p p o rt o f th e R o ma n Catholic Church? L e t me remin d rea de rs what life was like for homosexuals under Franco’s rule. From 1954, his regime imprisoned, tortured and often k illed g ay s fo r v io la ting th e L e y d e Va g o s y Maleantes, or Vagrancy Act. The Act was established in 1933 to deal with people considered anti-social or a threat to society. Its prime o b jec tiv e w as to co n trol beggars, pimps, thugs and others that did not actively contribute to society. The Act was later modified to include the suppression of homosexuality. Because homosexuality was listed as a criminal offence, gays were unable to work or contribute to their pensions. Homosexuality was illegal in Spain up until 1979. In 2 0 0 1 , th e co u n try expunged the ‘criminal’ from its law concerning homosexuality and in 2005 the country became the third in th e w o rld to leg alis e g a y marriage,
The s e big a nd fa s t changes for equality ha ppe ne d unde r the government of Spanish Prime Minister Jose Zapatero, who was one of the main champions for LGBT Rights in Spain during his two-term of office (2004 2011). In the light of the oppression suffered by homosexuals and other ‘misfits’ under fascist rule the Euro Weekly News article, not surprisingly caused a firestorm of biblical proportions . Pe ople know Euro Weekly News is not a fascist rag, so seeing Smith airing his prejudices in it came as a shock to many, myself included, and our fury could barely be contained. I’m of the view that we should put this down to an unfortunate error of judgment by EWN and forgive and forget and move on.

About the author Barry Duke is editor of two atheist/humanist magazines: The Pink Humanist and The Freethinker. He has worked as a photojournalist for 50 years, and brought his skills to Benidorm six years ago. Duke is an ardent political activist who began campaigning in his teens against the fascist South African apartheid regime. He was forced to flee the country in 1973 when he was threatened with prosecution under the Suppression of Communism Act. After he was granted political asylum in the UK, he teamed up with gay rights organisations and was a founder member of the Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association (GALHA). He describes himself as “a proud European” and hopes that the UK will vote on June 23 to stay in the EU, which has been a world leader in championing the rights of minorities, such as LGBT communities and women, and has introduced important environmental protection measures.

Cycling for Alzheimer’s SASKIA VERVOORT from Holland is cycling 5,000 kilometres from Amsterdam, via the UK, and back to the Costa del Sol (Spain) where she lives to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research and she won’t be leaving her front room! A bit like Tim Peake running the London Marathon in space, she will be undertaking the virtual cycle on her exercise bike and is clocking up the kilometres as she goes whilst mapping out a route along the way so she can stop and virtually visit her friends and drum up support from them and local businesses on the way. She aims to cycle at least 22 kilometres a day and has set herself a target of a total of 5,000km to be completed by the end of 2016. Saskia began cycling at home earlier this year. She cares for her husband Christian who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease eight years ago. His illness has been fairly progressive and she is now unable to leave him alone for long periods of time and because of this had to give up visiting the gym. Instead she bought an exercise bike and began cycling at home. “At first I just wanted to get some exercise to make myself feel better as it was frustrating not being able to leave the house to go to the gym

as I did before.” said Saskia. “I am very proud of the way Chris tries to make the best of his situation but the daily care was becoming an emotional burden for me and I needed a release and decided to start working out again. I started cycling every morning and recently realised that I had clocked up nearly 2,500 km, which when I put on the map I had cycled from Malaga back to Amsterdam where Chris is from. So I thought why not give myself a chal-
lenge and raise money for an important charity by cycling back to Malaga and getting people to donate along the way. Via her CU When I Get There Facebook page Saskia will announce which town she will be visiting and invite people there to buy her a sandwich for her lunch, or some new trainers or a puncture repair kit for example and donate the money for that to the collection set up on the C U When I Get There website.

At one point some pedestrians had to take evasive action to avoid being flat-

He was eventually sandwiched by two police vehicles, but continued to hightail it, attempting a daring, albeit miscalculated, escape through a gap between the road and pavement before losing control and crashing into an unspecified object. In addition to being way over the legal alcohol limit, the groggy driver was unlicensed, possessing only a moped permit.

Aspiring fat cats rejoice By Matt Ford MONOPOLY, the world's favourite capitalist board game, which was allegedly invented by a left-wing campaigner as a protest against American property moguls’ unbridled thirst for profit, is to produce a Malaga-Costa del Sol edition, allowing players to buy up famous local landmarks including Nerja’s Balcon de Europa, Malaga’s Calle Larios or the city’s fairground. Classic squares such as ‘go to jail’, ‘free parking’, and
‘community chest’ will remain, alongside 22 of the region’s leading sights, with English company Winning Moves (WM), who produce the worldfamous board game under licence from Hasbro, believing that the new edition represents a logical step. “Following our fantastic experiences with other Spanish local editions, such as Ibiza and Granada, we wanted to create a new star in the Monopoly universe,” said WM executive Robert Osborne. “After several months’ deliberation, we con-
cluded that the Costa del Sol is the perfect candidate given its incredible natural beauty and relevance at cultural and tourist levels, making it impossible to resist this magnificent Spanish tourist region.” The 80-year-old board game has been played in 111 countries and translated into 43 languages, and has produced countless special editions in recent years, with the Costa del Sol version set to hit toy shops, department stores, hypermarkets and online emporiums after the summer.

Boom time as cameras roll By Matt Ford
THE Marbella Film Office has announced that it has hosted more than 30 national and international projects since the turn of the year, as a sector that the city is keen to exploit continues to return positive results. According to head honcho Lara Ross, producers from Spain, Germany, England, Sweden, Ireland, France, the Netherlands,
the United States and Japan have all been in action during 2016 with the shooting of a diverse range of movies, TV shows and adverts. One of the principal driving factors has been the council’s decision to abolish municipal fees for companies wishing to film in the municipality. This arrangement was formalised earlier in the year, and has since led to several partnerships with local audiovisual businesses.
Growing green designs ENVIRONMENTAL councillor Jose Carlos Martin assisted with a presentation associating the Mijas Council with the nationwide Network of Ecological Consumption, which aims to facilitate connection between local networks of pro-
ducers and consumers dedicated to sustainable environmental practices. The partnership provides value for small producers who are often forced to abandon their activities since they have no official support or channels
to sell their produce. During the conference attendees were able to sample local organic fare, and Mijas has placed itself at the forefront of green production in Malaga with this initiative according to Martin.

A few important points about being a Spanish tax resident THE tax status of people living in Spain has been subject to extensive debate and still today, is a question open to interpretation, particularly considering the ability tax payers have to travel freely within the EU and more notably, the Schengen-space countries. This column is far too short to be able to explain in details all the intricacies of this interesting matter but the six points below will help understand the basis of a tax residency status. • The Spanish Income Tax Act states tax residency in Spain will be determined by one or more of the following: spending more than 183 days of a calendar year in the country, having the centre of economic interest or businesses in Spain and having a non-separated spouse, and dependent children, in Spain. • Tax residency is prima facie demonstrated by means of a Fiscal Residency Certificate, issued by the tax authority. • According to Spanish Courts however, a fiscal residency certificate is not the only way to demonstrate residency for tax purposes;

but also utility bills, bank statements, insurance policies, local taxes, civil registry or consular registrations. • The 183-day count ignores temporary absences except where the taxpayer demonstrates tax residency in another country, with a certificate as per point 2. • Tax residency in more than one country is possible. Treaties signed by Spain stipulate where tax should be paid. • Double Tax Treaties are in place to prevent tax evasion, not to encourage it.
THE Senior Captain of the Guardia Civil in Coin has been arrested in connection with a narcotics ring operating around the Costa del Sol, during the second phase of an extensive operation that’s already seen 20 suspects detained, including three other police officers. Reportedly, the head honcho, responsible for all Guardia detachments operating in the Guadalhorce area, is to be questioned over his alleged involvement in a criminal faction accused of drug trafficking, forgery, bribery, robberies, and disclosure of police secrets. This follows the nine people jailed in April, three of whom were Guardia Civil officers based in Alhaurin el Grande who worked within the investigation and reportedly enabled them to pass on information to other members of the cabal. In addition to claims of smuggling and selling hashish, marihuana and cocaine, another investigation suggests some of them visited homes with official police search warrants and detained residents before stealing drugs and other items.

Ajit Singh Kuner 8/8/1937 - 14/6/2016
AJIT KUNER: Was well-known in Fuengirola and was a keen golfer.
AJIT KUNER, who was well known as proprietor of the Rajdoot Indian Restaurant in Fuengirola has passed away aged 78. Ajit arrived in Spain in 1990 after a successful career as owner of Highfield Motors Toyota dealership in Coventry - a business he built up from little more than a workshop, rundown sales office and large forecourt into a highly successful, modern car sales company. During his time in Coventry he was proud to have sponsored Indian cricket captain Ravi Shastri and British runner David Bedford. He also had a connection with a character of a rather more infamous nature - Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. Ajit was born in that country’s second city of Jinja, the son of a civil servant on the British-run railways in what was then a British protectorate. After school he travelled to England for university studies where he met Penelope who was to become his wife. In England they were one of the very few mixed couples to be seen in the 1950s - a scenario replicated in Uganda when they moved back to Jinja with their young son Harmit. Back in his home town Ajit
soon showed the entrepreneurial spirit that was to see him build up three successful businesses during his life. His contact with Idi Amin came once Ajit had built up Kuner Motors - a vehicle repair company that had contracts with the army. While that alone made him important to Amin, Ajit’s love of motor racing was to put him in the limelight. A successful career as an amateur rally driver saw him win many races, and in 1970 he was classified 12th in the famous East African Safari - a fine achievement for a privateer in what was acknowledged as the World’s toughest rally. For a while he was feted in his home country but within two years he, along with the rest of Uganda’s Asian community, had to flee on the orders of Amin. The dictator had in fact offered Ajit dispensation to stay - but Ajit decided it was better for the sake of his family to leave his house, cars, business and everything he owned and start a new life. Ajit and Penelope returned to the UK with their three young children and started afresh, ini-
tially in Hemel Hempstead and later in Coventry. Ajit and Penelope were divorced in 1979 and Ajit married secondly Brigitte some years later, a marriage that did not survive. Prior to the marriage he had a daughter, Sushil, with Nikki. On moving to Fuengirola he opened one of the first Indian restaurants in the area - in those days there were just three in the town. Success quickly followed, both in business and in love. He was soon to meet Sheelagh - who remains well-known amongst the expatriate community having long connections with the area - particularly in Marbella and Mijas. They were later to be married, with Sheelagh surviving him. Ajit was well-known in Fuengirola and also at Lauro Golf where he was a member for many years until illness curtailed his golfing activities. He is survived by his four children - Harmit, Anil, Dilip and Sushil - step-daughter Claudia and was very proud of his grandchildren - Amy, Alex, Vijay, Yannick and Liliana. A funeral will be held at Benalmadena crematorium at 11am on Thursday June 23. Call Dilip on 671 272 986 for details.

New plants have been weeded out EXPERTS from Spain and Britain joined a group of more than 30 biologists who gathered at the Algaba estate near Ronda to discuss results of their recent survey conducted throughout Malaga, which has resulted in the likely discovery of two brandnew moss species. Mosses are structurally simple, flowerless plants which were among the first to successfully colonise land, and the research has resulted in an updated provincial list,
which now contains a surprising 251 species, with no less than 40 new records. Two of these appear to be completely new to science, and these will now be studied carefully before being named. In Malaga, the greatest diversity can be found at El Chorro, where 27 species were observed, and the Alcornocales natural park, where mosses found in such disparate locations as Scotland, the Eastern United States and Africa co-exist.

Rural icon may still be axed EMPLOYEES at the emblematic Refugio del Juanar, located in the Sierra Blanca near Ojen, have launched a campaign to inform the public that the long-standing rural tourism stalwart may be about to close its doors. The cooperative which runs the mountain resort recently received a court order stating that they must leave the premises within eight days, and although they have submitted and been granted an extension until after the summer, it appears that the end is nigh. Constructed as a hunting lodge for the Marquis of Larios in the early 20th century, the hotel was incorporated into the ‘paradores’ network of luxury hotels in 1965, but two decades later the site appeared on a list of hotels to be shut down under a state restructuring programme. A group of employees subsequently campaigned to keep the guest house afloat, reaching an agreement with the Malaga Provincial Council in 1986, with responsibility for its maintenance trick-

bylaw signed off by the mayor of Ojen. The agreement remained in place
until 2005, when Ojen Town Hall requested that the state concession be annulled, with the idea to apply for
ownership themselves, but they never got around to it. Eight years then passed before national authorities declared the deal to be officially expired, with that announcement coming in 2013, and following three additional years of ‘irregular’ management, they have now decided to act. The cooperative, who claim to have invested more than €2.4 million in the hotel over the last three decades, are naturally disgruntled at the proposition. “They say we are illegal, that the paperwork was botched, but our only intention is to keep our jobs, and for that I think we should keep talking to the ‘owners’,” said cooperative president Guillermo Gonzalez, who has worked at Juanar for 41 years. Ojen Town Council has become involved, requesting that the property be passed into their hands, but the Ministry of Tourism say that this can only happen if it is no longer used as a hotel, and that the current occupiers must be evicted before it is restyled as a tourist office or visitor centre.

Too sizzling to Mega centre is coming soon go to school By Matt Ford
PLANS to introduce half-term style holidays to the Spanish school schedule, which have already been adopted in Cantabria, are unlikely to hold much sway in Andalucia because of the weather, according to the Secretary General of the Malaga Teachers’ Union, Felix Martin. “The climatic conditions in Cantabria are not the same as in Andalucia,” he says, adding: “I think this model cannot be translated here.” He also mentioned that it would be impossible to extend the school year beyond the end of June, or begin in early September, due to the overpowering heat and the fact that most classrooms do not have air conditioning. “From an educational point of view I am not convinced that the extra interruptions are beneficial, since it always takes a few days to recover a good
rhythm and return to established routines after holidays.” Provincial President of the ANPE union, Maria del Amo, disagrees, considering a rest period after every 33 teaching days beneficial for teachers and students, but perhaps not for parents because “lately they treat school as a place to ‘park’ their children rather than a place for teaching and learning.” The ANPE thinks that students become very tired during the current long terms, and that periodic disconnection will help make them more attentive in class and keep teachers fresh. Meanwhile, the UGT Federation of Teaching agrees that the summer heat is the main limiting factor, because schools are simply unprepared to cope with it, whereas families can see both points but appear to have little say in the matter at present.

Brit kidnapper arrested By Matt Ford NATIONAL POLICE officers have arrested a 38-year-old unnamed British man over his alleged involvement in a violent kidnapping. He is accused of holding another man against his will in an Estepona property alongside three accomplices, with the
victim gagged and having his hands and feet bound before being savagely beaten, reportedly over a stolen drugs cache. Following the brutal incident, the injured party, who was wounded in several places and exhibited traces of adhesive tape on his body, turned up at the Local Police station pleading for help
and requesting medical assistance. He claimed that a gang of four men had approached him in Marbella, near his place of work, and forced him to enter a parked car, which was then driven to a house in an Estepona urbanisation where the drubbing took place. He eventually managed to escape following a ‘moment of carelessness’
by his captors. The man taken into custody is apparently known to the victim, with €70,250 in cash, two mobile phones and 11 grammes of marihuana seized during his arrest, and a further 50 grammes of the drug, two additional phones, and a high-end sports car confiscated from his Marbella home.

Bargain back rubs can be bad news By Matt Ford MARBELLA Council has sounded the alarm regarding the dangers of using the services of illegal masseurs, who patrol the Costa del Sol’s beaches during the summer offering holidaymakers and locals a cheap rub down as they sizzle in the sun. While the cut-price release of tension built up during the long winter may seem like a tempting option, with €20 bagging up to an hour’s kneading and pummelling, a hamhanded rolfing by an untrained masseur can result in dizziness, infection and muscle problems, among other hazards. In order to combat the illicit business, the city hall has installed 35 designated, licensed areas for beachgoers, all staffed by qualified masseurs, chiropractors and physiotherapists and equipped with genuine massage tables meeting sanitary standards.

Mark Lane, a beloved son and brother By John Smith ON April 23 well-known Guadalmina chiropractor Mark Lane fell off his motor bike on the Ronda road and was killed. His parents, Peter and Dot Lane, and sister Jo came over immediately from Brisbane and are endeavouring not only to come to terms with the 43-yearold’s death but also ensure that the business that he loved and established continues. Peter and Dot met in India where they both worked in the same school and they moved to Australia in 1976 with infant Mark who enjoyed his childhood on the Gold Coast before qualifying as a chiropractor. Like his parents, he enjoyed travel and exciting sports, moving as he did to Portugal, Eire,
Indonesia and finally settling in Spain which he adored and made many friends especially in the biking community. He loved the lifestyle, surfing (until he had to stop because of an injury), snowboarding and helping people to live their lives with minimum pain. No one really knows what happened with the accident and Mark was known to be a careful driver. The family, who had to formally identify the body, have visited the site of the accident, viewed the bike itself and saw nothing to suggest what had happened. Their only consolation is that there was no physical indication of injury but whilst awaiting the full autopsy report it appears he died from ‘trauma’ and it was instant.
The Lanes have been overwhelmed by the love shown for Mark and the assistance they’ve received from both the biking community (which continues to hold monthly demonstrations about biking safety) and the chiropractor community who have volunteered to keep the clinic open
until a new owner is found. It has been a difficult time for the family, but they cannot thank enough all of those who have helped them and have spoken so kindly of their son and brother.

BHS blame shifts to current owner
WPP’s unhappy shareholders
Green will also be required to give an explanation as to his financial activities prior to the sale of the company. Whatever the eventual outcome of the enquiry, there appears little doubt that a great deal of money was removed from the company or was withheld from the pension fund before its eventual closure although at this stage, there is no proof this was done improperly.
FOLLOWING on from recent shareholders revolts over pay packages, more than 33 per cent of shareholders (including major investment groups), of the world’s largest advertising agency WPP, voted against granting a £70 million (€87.5 million) salary proposed for CEO Sir Martin Sorrell. However the vote didn’t stop the payment and it was argued the high sum reflected the profits made and the remuneration structure that exists.
By John Smith AFTER the furore that accompanied allegations against Sir Philip Green and the impending closure of BHS, the most recent owner, Dominic Chappell has been branded a ‘liar’ who had his ‘fingers in the till’ by former BHS managers at a Commons enquiry into the financial woes of the company. Darren Topp, previous CEO of the

NO GO: Sweden take Mars to court.
Challenge to M&M branding ALTHOUGH it wouldn’t appear to be something for large corporations to fall out over, a court in Sweden has ruled that American confectionery giant Mars may no longer market its M&M brand in that country in lower case as it is too similar to the ‘m’ used by Swedish brand Marabou.
company alleged Mr Chappell threatened to kill him during a row over company money although this has been denied by Mr Chappell and another former advisor, financial consultant Michael Hitchcock referred to him as “a premier league liar and a Sunday pub league retailer.” Whilst everyone currently involved with the demise of BHS is swiftly attributing blame to each other, Sir Philip
Mars naturally believes that there is no potential confusion and has until July to appeal against the decision. Interestingly, the Marabou brand is owned by another American food and drinks company Mondelez, which also owns Cadbury and many other confectionery brands.

GDP debate DESPITE the fact the interim government in Spain has indicated that it expects to reduce the public deficit to 3 per cent of gross domestic profit (GDP), this figure is questioned by the Bank of Spain, which believes that 2017 will see it drop to 4 per cent only, although the situation for 2019 could be much better. Others opine that a reduction is unlikely to occur if at the same time, a newly elected PP keeps its promise to reduce income tax.
Argos refund PRIOR to the sale of Argos to Sainsbury’s, it has been discovered that a number of customers with Argos store cards have been overcharged for late payment fees and it appears the company will need to refund around £30 million (€37.5 million) with the average refund expected to be £100 (€125). The problem has been known for some time, but sufficient funds had to be allocated to cover the estimated cost.
ECB purchase to boost economy THE European Central Bank is purchasing corporate bonds issued by individual European companies in an effort to encourage businesses to borrow and spend, hoping to boost the Eurozone economy. Although, the Bank won’t confirm which bonds it has purchased until the middle of July, it’s believed the first purchase, valued around €5 mil-
lion, was in Telefonica as it’s particularly anxious to stimulate the economies of Southern European members of the Eurozone. Britain is a shareholder but has only made a minimal payment in respect of its shares, cannot obtain dividend on any profits but equally is in theory not responsible for any losses that may arise.

EU investigates Modelo 720 Credit Rubén Ojeda Wikimedia

According to well-known tax and
wealth management advisers Blevins Franks, the European Commission, following submissions from various parties, decided to investigate whether the fines and penalties imposed for non-compli-
ance were fair and equitable, especially as investigations are not covered by any statute of limitation. It appears that the EU had concluded that it may well be the case that these fines are unfair, but it is

Flybe airline flying high
INCREASED PROFITS: Flybe is the largest independent regional airline in Europe.
UK local and regional airline Flybe has announced that following a poor 2014, when it made a loss of £35.6 million (€45 million), it has recovered in 2015 with pre-tax annual profits of £2.7 million (€3.4 million). Based in Exeter and with more than 60 destinations, it is the largest independent regional airline in Europe, serving mainly UK destinations, although i t a l so f l i e s t o A ms te rd am, Dublin and Paris, and by expanding its routes the airlines has managed to increase the number of passengers carried by more than 5 per cent.
As is to be expected and in common with many other airlines, Flybe has benefitted from the reduced oil prices, with considerable savings over anticipated costs, and income had increased to £624 million (€792 million) despite the fact that sales had been affected by the terrorist activity in Paris and competition over fares from other airlines. Chief Executive Saad Hammad, who is changing the business philosophy of the airline to increase the number of owned rather than leased aircraft is quoted as saying “As a result of all the action we have taken, Flybe is now a
much more resilient business and well positioned for profitable growth.” The underlying problem for all airlines nowadays is the cost of fuel, but the good news for them is that whilst OPEC and other oil producers are maintaining or increasing production, it appears unlikely that prices will shoot up in the foreseeable future, especially as Iran is desperate to sell its oil now that sanctions have been mainly removed. Fracking in the USA is also increasing the a mount of oil in the globa l market.
Family were able to take advantage of a 2012 tax amnesty to declare and regularise a €4 million deposit in a Swiss bank account, paying a relatively small ‘fine’ of less than 2 per cent of the value of the holding.
UK house prices in temporary fall ACCORDING to a report from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), there is likely to be a short-term drop in house prices in the UK, based on a survey which shows more members anticipating a drop rather than a rise. If correct, this would be the first drop in six years, and the areas that have perhaps overheated the most are forecast as being London and East Anglia. The slowdown is blamed on a change in stamp duty rates which will affect the buy-to-let market and continued uncertainty over the likely Brexit result, but the good news for sellers is that this drop is not likely to last for more than three months as the referendum will become old news and buyers will have adjusted to the new rates of stamp duty. Unfortunately for first time buyers, it doesn’t appear that ‘bargain prices’ will be around for long, and if there is a sudden surge in demand for cheaper properties then that in turn will feed an increase in prices.

Why on earth is Gordon Brown telling us what to do? LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT
I’M sitting here, scribbling this missive and actually feeling physically sick. The reason? I’m watching Gordon Brown, on prime-time Sky news telling us why we should vote to remain in the EU! The arrogance of some of these politicians simply defies the imagination. This egotistical self-disillusioned individual has less right to advise us than even that pathetic idiot Eddie Izzard. Brown, in his role as Labour’s Chancellor of the Exchequer and short disastrous unelected stint as prime minister, plagued the whole of the UK with more problems than any

leader in recent history. He sold off all our gold reserves - when the bottom had actually fallen out of the market - costing the country billions. He supported Blair in the Iraq war and after a disastrous tenure, when even his own party wanted him to resign, finally ran for cover after the emergence of Ed Miliband: another, even more incompetent Labour frontrunner. And now here he is giving us advice! ‘We don’t need to leave the EU’ he spouts (without that annoying jaw movement, he has undoubtedly worked extremely hard to correct!). ‘We need to lead it.’ What sort of a naïve pipe dream is that? We will never ‘lead’ the EU. Germany and the overpaid, unelected bureaucrats of Brussels do that. Give us a break Brown. We know most politicians consider
us minions lowly uneducated peasants (bigots yet!), but you really are pushing your disdain and underestimation of the public to the limit. Why don’t you join forces with Nicola Sturgeon? Had a great missive this week. It asked: If you were actually being asked to join the EU on June 23 how would you vote? Er…just a minute. Choosing to join will cost you billions, bring uncontrolled borders, resulting in millions of immigrants entering your country. The destruction of your infrastructure. A currency and organisation that is falling apart by the day and all decisions on law, order and your economy, taken by untouchable, incompetent and overpaid bureaucrats! Well!? Keep the faith.

It’s no laughing matter cerned about Cataluña, just 0.4 per cent fret about refugees and barely 1.8 per cent lose sleep about international terrorism. No wonder politicians prefer banging on about these to finding answers for the 75.3 per cent of the population who worry about unemployment.
Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
MARIANO RAJOY’S ‘wait and see and do nothing’ philosophy saw him survive four years in government and still stands him in good stead. For four months Pedro Sanchez and Albert Rivera dashed around like blue-tailed flies to form a government while Pablo Iglesias swatted them away. Rajoy did nothing and was criticised inside and outside the Partido Popular for allowing them to steal the limelight but his astute immobility brought results. The latest Metroscopia poll in El Pais showed that despite Rajoy’s unpopularity he and the PP will be the most-voted in just over two weeks’ time. He is set to have the last laugh although the millions of Spaniards who didn’t vote for him won’t see the joke.

MARIANO RAJOY: Set to have the last laugh. dadanos will reach a post-election agreement if between them they win enough seats to form a government. Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera insists that this will not, cannot happen while Mariano Rajoy heads the party but the hierarchy are not listening. “Changing his mind is habitual in Rivera,” they say, an ap-
praisal guaranteed to persuade him to give Rajoy the brush-off yet again on June 27.

THE PP, beset by court cases, corruption accusations and the resignations of enmired and bespattered politicians, is crowing. PSOE socialists Manuel Chaves and Jose Antonio Griñan, former regional presidents of Andalucia, were indicted in the ERE scandal where scores of people benefited from a €855 million fund set up for laid off workers. Both ex-presidents deny acting illegally but acknowledge that their laxity allowed the fund to be ransacked.

IT seems as though every day we are bamboozled with more advice and instruction on how to enhance our physical health and outward appearance. The trouble is that it is difficult to sift through all this bombardment to understand what is truly beneficial, especially when much of the guidance is conflicting. At a certain point it’s tempting to simply switch off and ignore all the hype around different products, techniques, herbs and routines that offer a magic elixir promising you glowing skin, instant weight loss, and a long, healthy life. But there are some very important truths and helpful remedies in amongst all the white noise that can truly transform your life. Many are simple maxims that your grandmother would be all too familiar with. Eat in moderation, three square meals a day with a healthy blend of non-processed foods nourishing you with vitamins, protein and complex carbohydrates. Exercise frequently, get a good night’s sleep, and enjoy the company of family and friends. Of course these simple rules of good living are easier said than done in a hectic modern age that sees most people juggling work and family commitments with very lit-

Fresh fruit and vegetables are in abundance, the weather, despite the occasional heatwave, can work wonders for physical and mental well-being, and there is a growing movement of health conscious expats offering a wide range of foods, products and treatments. Simple things like a gentle swim or a brisk walk on the beach can make a huge difference to your health and beauty regime, while there are also lots of expat social groups and businesses offering friendly exercise classes, whether in the gym or simply getting together for a hill walk. So next time you’re feeling slightly overwhelmed by all the guidance just remember that the best health and beauty results begin from the simplest of actions and have a look around you at all the possibilities Spain has to offer. You can also contact a local health and beauty expert for real advice on a one-to-one level, which is a far better way to ensure that your particular needs are met and you can achieve whatever change you are looking for.

The benefits of a good night’s sleep ON average humans sleep for about one third of their lives and it may seem obvious that sleep is valuable, but all we know is when we’ve slept well we are ready to take on the world as opposed to sleepless nights when we want to hide under a rock. Scientists have spent decades going to great lengths to fully understand the benefits of sleep. Studies on humans and animals alike have disclosed that sleep is important in immune function, metabolism, memory, learning, and other functions. Our minds are surprisingly busy when we sleep. Memories can be strengthened, and learnt skills cemented in place, a process called consolidation. Sleep is a key part of a healthy lifestyle, and has multiple benefits to the heart, weight and mind. Here are some benefits 1. Sleep improves the capacity for learning. Whether it’s a language or a new board game, sleep re-enforces memories and learning patterns. 2. Creativity is boosted after a good sleep. It strengthens emotional components in memory, linked to improved creativity.

NIGHT TIME: We sleep on average for a third of our lives. 3. Sharpen attention - especially in children, a lack of sleep can be detrimental to learning and the school environment. 4. Sleep can help with weight-loss. Research has shown that dieters who are well rested lose more fat. Well slept dieters felt
less hungry than tired dieters. So if ystarting a diet, consider an earlier bed time. 5) A good night’s sleep can lower blood pressure. Stress and sleep are powerfully connected and both have a bearing on cardiovascular health.

ACL issues - the quickest way to heal By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com ACL issues are common in many athletes, professional or keen amateur - sudden twisting, over extension, falls, a bad landing or sudden stops... these can all cause ligament injuries. And only one in three patients return to their sport. What is the ACL? A ligament is the fibrous connective tissue that joins bones together in a joint. The ACL is the anterior cruciate ligament and connects the thigh bone to the shin bone in the knee. It is one of four key sets of ligaments in the knee, the others are: • The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the second set of ligaments connecting the thigh bone to the shin bone. • The lateral collateral ligament
TORN LIGAMENTS: Need lots of support while they are healing as they don’t have a great blood supply. (LCL) connects the thigh bone to the fibula, the smaller bone on the outside of the lower leg. • The medial collateral ligament (MCL) also connects the thigh bone to the shin bone on the inside
of the knee. Should I have surgery? The honest answer is - it doesn’t matter. The most recent research on recovery rates shows no difference be-
tween those patients who opted for surgery and those who chose to just do physiotherapy and rehabilitation. I double checked these results as I had always been taught that for severe tears the best route was surgery
(combined with physio obviously!). Nope, regardless of severity there was no difference. So what does make a difference? Speed - getting a quick, accurate diagnosis so that you start work as quickly as possible and do no further damage. Ligaments are typically slow to heal. They need lots of support while they are doing it as they don’t have a great blood supply so this means it takes time for the ‘good stuff’ to get in. I’ve found that using MRT and Dr D K Shelbourne’s Accelerated Rehabilitation programme can reduce recovery time to weeks as opposed to the usual months. Support the knee correctly so that you place the least strain on the ligaments while they are healing. This also prevents future injuries. For more information on speeding up the recovery for ACL and other ligament issues please check out our blog, www.TheBodyworksClinic. com/blog, our Facebook page Bodyworks Health Clinic or call us on 952 883 151.

Ask the Optician - Protecting your eyes from allergens Amrik Sappal, Store Director from Specsavers Opticas Fuengirola IT’S hayfever season again and this can cause eyes to water, or be dry, itchy and sore. Allergies are on the increase around the world and according to WHO they will keep increasing until one out of every two of us will suffer. Don’t worry though, there are things you can do to limit symptoms of hayfever and other allergies, so here’s our advice on how to get through hayfever season. How does hayfever affect the eyes? Hayfever can cause conjunctivitis underneath your eye lids which will cause your eyes to feel itchy. When you get conjunctivitis under your eyelids, less mucin is produced and your eyes will feel dry. On the other hand, hayfever can simply irritate the eyes and make them water. How can I stop my eyes watering and being sore during hayfever season? Protect your eyes with sunglasses, keep windows closed in the house and shower and change when you get home to remove any pollen from your body or clothes. You should also wash hands frequently and try to avoid rubbing your eyes.
If none of this works, visit your chemist for one of the many hayfever remedies available which help reduce all the symptoms, including the issues with your eyes. If you find your usual brand has stopped working, try a few different ones as every year can be different. If your eyes are reacting quite badly you could also try an antihistamine eye drop. Can I still wear contact lenses during hayfever season? Unfortunately hayfever is a real problem with contact lenses. If your eyes are affected badly, there is no option but to revert to wearing glasses so that you can use antihistamine eye drops, as unfortunately you cannot use these with contact lenses. If your eyes are sore, or red or you are experiencing discomfort, go to your nearest Specsavers for an eye test and advice on how to deal with hayfever this year. Eye tests are currently free and we are offering two for one including sunglasses for the special price of €59, until July 3. www.specsavers.es

Tips to keep youn healthier for longer THE life expectancy in England has risen 10 years for men since 1960 and eight years for women so it seems we are getting better at living longer, but how can we stay looking young and remain healthy for as long as possible? Change your mealtimes Some say the key to a longer, healthier life is constant change and avoiding routine as the brain thrives on uncertainty. The disruption stimulates body and mind and may help to ward off aging and disability as when brain cells are stimulated, they function better and last longer. Avoid old lady clothes No one wants to look like mutton dressed as lamb, but equally, dressing younger can help you look and, more importantly, feel younger. If you resist the temptation to behave in a certain way and refuse to
assume certain stereotypes merely because you are old, it can improve your quality of life. Eat berries Researchers have found that eating antioxidant foods such as berries and tomatoes can reduce the damage caused by free radical molecules in the blood that are linked to ageing. Work standing up Too many of us live very sedentary lifestyles and now a number of employers are introducing desks for workers to be able to stand up at. Being able to move around isn’t just good from a physical perspective, it’s also good for your emotional well-being. However, a senior lecturer in the Institute of Aging and Chronic Disease at the University of Liverpool believes everyone must find their bal-
ance between a healthy lifestyle and the pleasures from indulging in the occasional unhealthy habits as being happy can ultimately help you live a longer and healthier life.

GREEN tea could benefit people with Down’s Syndrome according to researchers who carried out a year-long clinical trial. Young adults were given green tea supplements and it was found that a chemical in green tea helped improve memory, speaking and behaviour and this remained for six months after the trial ended. Brain scans revealed the compound altered the way brain cells connect with one another. Scientists advised this is not a cure but that it could improve the lives of people with Down’s Syndrome.

FIT FOR PURPOSE: Shoes should be properly fitted before buying to avoid injury.
Poor fitting footwear can lead to injuries RUNNING may not be as good for your health as you think. Research by the Col-
lege of Podiatry found that running typically leaves people nursing injuries for around 26 days each year. Their study found that ignoring foot or leg pain meant 13 per cent were forced to give up sport or running completely because it got worse and half of people who take up a new sport or running get injured by wearing the wrong footwear. Two thirds of those asked admitted they do not replace
trainers or running shoes until they fall apart and 43 per cent confessed they’ve carried on using uncomfortable footwear, because they look good, despite the pain. Wearing the wrong shoes for running can lead to injuries such as shin splints, calf problems, lower back pain and hamstring strains. One in four had to get hospital treatment for their injury which also then puts people off their good intentions to
run and exercise. The average Brit has two pairs of trainers, but only 19 per cent had a proper fitting before buying and 33 per cent never tried them on having bought online. The College of Podiatry recommends shoes are professionally fitted, should be at least 1cm longer than the longest toe and should be fitted in the afternoon or evening when feet are at their longest.

COOL FRAMES: The winner and runners-up. worthy winners. 1. Consider your face
shape - Different style glasses will suit different face shapes,
so make sure you know your face shape before you shop and choose your styles accordingly. Try a wide frame with a strong top line for a rectangular face, an angular frame to flatter a round face and an oval frame for a square face shape. 2. Take into account your colouring - There are so many colours and materials to choose from. By choosing colours that match your hair colour and skin type, you can find the glasses which complement you perfectly. Black hair goes well with metallic frames, blondes should try lightweight styles with delicate warm colours, or if you have light grey hair then rich deep colours or metal styles work well. 3. Express your style through your glasses - Glasses don’t have to be boring and with great two for one offers available, you can choose a day and night style, or a colourful
and a more conservative option. Think of your glasses as an extension of your wardrobe and an accessory to dress your face! This way you will complement your fashion sense with your glasses choice and set off your look perfectly. 4. Ensure a perfect fit - Did you know glasses come in different sizes? Make sure frames do not slip or rub, they will be uncomfortable and won’t look right. Specsavers Opticas has introduced Digital Precision Eyecare, a cutting edge new way of selecting and fitting customers’ glasses, using imaging software on tablet devices. This is very clever kit and gets customers much more involved with the frames and lens selection. It’s a quick and easy process which can ensure a perfect fit every time.

Brought to you by
Heatstroke
SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. This week, as the summer weather appears to be here to stay now, we decided to ask the doctor about heatstroke, a serious risk for children and the elderly particularly at this time of year in Spain. WHAT exactly is heatstroke? When doctors speak of heatstroke, we are referring to an overexposure to h i g h t e m p e r a t u re s which happens mostly at hot times of year during the central hours of the day. Ge n e r a l l y, p a t ien ts who suffer heatstroke were carrying out physical exercise which, combined with the high tempera t u r e , p r o d u c e d a n increase in body temperatur e t h a t c a n mak e man y o rg a n s a n d s y s tems within the human body fail. What should I do if I, or someone with me, start noticing symptoms of heatstroke? The first thing to do is to stop any physical activity or exercise being carried out at the time. Th e n t h e p e r so n a ffected should stay in a cool place and drink lots of liquids (water or isotonic drinks). If this doesn’t help al-

Yo u ca n red u c e th e risk of suffering from heatstroke by avoiding exposing yourself to h ig h temp era tu res an d refraining from carrying out intense physical activities during the hottest hours of the day. Are some people more likely to suffer heatstroke than others? Why? People in good physical condition and used to strenuous physical activity are less likely to suffer as their bodies are better prepared. Children and the elderly, o n th e o th er h a n d , have fewer defences against the heat and are more prone to suffering, therefore they should be monitored closely in extreme heat and encouraged to stay in the shade and drink lots of water.

Beauty of coconut oil WE have undoubtedly all heard about coconut oil. This natural substance has gained tonnes of media traction over the last few years, and everyone seems to be gushing about it, and not just about its role within the kitchen. In case you’ve heard the hype, but still aren’t sure what it’s really about, we’ve compiled a short list (that is nowhere near exhaustive) of how you can incorporate arguably nature’s most versatile ingredient into your beauty routine. Make-up remover: massage a small amount directly into your skin, rinse with warm water, and even the strongest waterproof mascara will melt away. DIY your own make-up wipes by melting the oil onto a cotton pad and let the oil soak up overnight, just make sure to store them in a container or bag when you’re on the move.
Breath freshener: coconut oil has antifungal and antibacterial properties, thus if you gargle a spoonful for approximately 20 minutes it can help kill germs, giving you fresher breath and whiter teeth. Shaving cream: warm the jar under the water and smooth onto your legs before shaving. You’ll get a super close shave and your legs will be left moisturised. Itch relief: Burns, bites, and bruises can all be soothed with just a light covering of the oil. Intensive conditioner: melt the coconut oil by running the jar under warm water, and, after shampooing, apply a generous amount to your hair. Leave it in for at least five minutes to get some moisture and shine back into your locks. If you want a more intensive hydration, simply leave it in longer.
Use the bus to lose weight DRIVING for more than an hour a day can make you larger than those who drive less than 15 minutes. Researchers from the Australian Catholic University found that more than an hour behind the wheel can lead to a weight gain of around five pounds more than someone who spends less than 15 minutes in a car and add 1.5cm of fat to your waistline. Men are most at risk because they spend the most time behind the wheel. Elsewhere, scientists noted 64 per cent of people from the UK used a car as their main form of transport. For years governments have been promoting public transport for environmental reasons, but it could be healthier for you too. A study of more than 150,000 British people aged 40 to 69, those who walk, cycle, or use public transport have less body fat and lower BMI than motorists.

WE all think that time passes more quickly with the passage of years, but I am convinced that time actually does accelerate as we get older. As kids, the summer holiday sauntered along and we filled our long days with fishing or getting on our bikes and disappearing until sundown, and my recollection is that almost every day of those six weeks really was warm and sunny. Likewise winter, when snow would come and then lay around for weeks on end, with the snowman in the back garden standing sentinel until his nose fell off and he wet his pants in anticipation of spring.

‘Leave it out’ we thought. ‘We’ve got years and years.’ Then in my 20s my house mates and I believed that there was still plenty of time to knuckle down and become millionaires.
We didn’t own a telly because every night we were out partying and playing best-of-three on the bar ’s tennis machine for female American tourists; then squeezing in a few hours on
the beach at weekends. Then zzzzzip! We went to bed one night, and woke up in the future. Where had the years gone? Now I try to reassure myself that I am ageing well, but one look in the mirror every morning only to be greeted by a bug-eyed stranger, tells me otherwise. These days instead of leaving the bar because I have drunk the place dry, I leave because I am tired, and invitations out are often weighed up alongside the prospect of Midsomer Murders on TV. In my head I hear again my parent’s words of wisdom: ‘Life is short’ they say. But am I listening now? Yep, you can take that to the nearest branch of Santander!

Will Brexit lead to the breakup of the United Kingdom? John Smith Random thoughts... AS far as expats are concerned, the closing date for registration for the referendum is now passed and we now await a decision concerning the final wishes of the British people as far as the European Union is concerned. Reports suggest that a significant percentage of the population has registered to vote and as many as 400,000 took advantage of the 48-hour extension in order to either check that they were registered or to actually register. Generally business and international observers are in favour of a remain vote whilst a large number of individuals are very much in favour of the exit.

Pray for Orlando THE massacre that occurred in Orlando on Sunday June 12 at Pulse gay nightclub was shocking, harrowing, and unfathomably tragic, but unfortunately there is a lot of hatred out there in the world. There is strong evidence that the attack was motivated by homophobia. The gunman’s own father has stated in the media that his son consistently demonstrated a deeprooted hatred of homosexuals, even going so far as to cite a recent incident in which the shooter saw two men kissing and flew into a rage. Recent reports have indicated that he may have in fact been gay himself, putting the bloodbath into a whole new perspective. A human life is a human life, regardless of skin colour, sexual orientation, gender, or any other factor, and massacres such as the one in Orlando should be treated as such: a devastating blow not only to the gay community, but to the whole city and the human race in general. That being said, it is important to acknowledge that in 2016, there are still countless crimes which are motivated purely by intolerance, hatred, and prejudice. At the end of the day, this was a pointless massacre of a large number of innocents who deserved to be allowed to live their lives as they wanted and once again it raises the question of the easy availability of lethal weapons in the USA. Regardless of individual views the whole world has offered sympathy and comfort by demonstrations and vigils to ensure that the victims are remembered forever.

How could a Brexit affect the UK’s SMEs A REPORT from SME Insider showed that there is a strong division among small businesses, with 46 per cent favouring Brexit and 40 per cent planning to vote remain. There are a range of factors that are influencing decisions, including the economic impact, the cost of EU membership, regulations imposed by the EU and, naturally, personal preference. The decision is of particular importance to the 4.9 million SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) who at the beginning of the year were hoping they could expand their businesses through exporting, according to City AM. The pros of Brexit on SMEs A Brexit could be positive for SMEs, as it is expected there might be a reduction of red tape, so businesses could benefit from a reduction in regulation. It has also been suggested that, freed of EU law, corporation tax could be lowered to enable British businesses to be more competitive; an approach recommended by
By HiFX Team
REFERENDUM: A Brexit could have pros and cons for SMEs. William Hague when considering the best strategy for Britain if we do vote to leave. A Brexit could also be positive for export businesses if it caused the pound to weaken, making British services and goods more affordable to foreign markets. Leaving the EU could also give the UK the freedom to agree to better trade agreements with non-EU countries. Small UK businesses exporting
to Europe saw revenues from the continent increase by 6 per cent in 2015, according to Business Advice. Germany and France accounted for the biggest share of UK exports, while payments from Spain increased 27 per cent compared to 2014. The cons of Brexit on SMEs While trade was up last year, there have been some reports that Brexit uncertainty has been making it harder for SMEs to commit to long-term
currency contracts. If a Brexit was to occur, trade is very likely to be affected at least in the short term, as current UK membership with the EU means that it is much easier for SMEs to export to Europe If the UK was to leave the EU, businesses which export to the countries under the European Union could be subject to new tariffs, depending on what kind of deal could be negotiated. Whilst we remain in the EU, the lack of import taxes help businesses to compete on a more level playing field with companies across the continent. Global trade might also be affected, as the UK would likely need to renegotiate free-trade agreements with non-EU countries, which are currently covered as part of EU membership. As outlined by Growth Business, people moving over to the UK from other EU countries since the year 2000 have contributed 34 per cent more financially to the UK than they have cost us.
British jobs could also potentially be put at risk, as the European Institute estimates that around 3.4 million UK jobs depend on exports to EU countries. Overall, what does this mean for SMEs? Planning ahead and effective management of finances is always key to the success of any business, whether that is cutting back on purchases which are not necessary. Exploring international trading options might be beneficial for SMEs who want to expand overseas. For example, if relations with Europe did become a little tense if a Brexit was to occur, some businesses may wish to look in to expanding their horizons further than the EU.

Would a Brexit be the beginning of the end of EU?
CHANNEL CROSSING: An increasing number of migrants now attempting to reach Britain.

ACCORDING to a recent poll across 10 EU countries, euroscepticism is increasing across Europe. It found the strongest supporters of the EU were in Poland (72 per cent) and Hungary (61 per cent) - arguably the biggest net recipients of the EU budget compared with just 27 per cent in Greece, 38 per cent (France) and 44 per cent (the UK). Enough euroscepticism in the UK to lead to Brexit? According to Daniel Kahneman, the influential economics Nobel laureate, simply “irritation and anger” may just do it: “The major impression one gets observing the debate is that the reasons for exit are clearly emotional. The arguments look shortterm and based on irritation and anger. These seem to be powerful enough that they may lead to Brexit.” With Leave campaigners keeping the focus on immigration - most voters believe recent EU migration has been bad for the NHS, schools, housing and national security according to yet another poll - you can see what he’s getting at, can’t you? Take one small example in the recent change of tactics by migrants, ‘irritation’ at
the increasing number now attempting to reach Britain via the English Channel given the problems with the former Turkey-Greece route. And ‘anger’ at the inevitable outcome. Of course those in difficulty in the Channel will have to be brought ashore to be ‘cared for ’ by the Border Agency (as the BBC described the news about one sinking boatload of Albanians). It’d be impossible for the authorities to act one way in the Channel and another in the Mediterranean. Effectively a convenient taxi service, then? And what about a boatload of migrants who’ve thrown their passports in the sea. They’ll likely be brought ashore as asylum seekers and, to protect their human rights, mostly have to stay? And soon bring their families? You get Kahneman’s point, don’t you. We’re only halfway through 2016. What’s possibly next up? Brexit, collapse of the Tory party, Corbyn as PM, recession, more anti-EU referendums across Europe, Donald Trump elected president just in time for Christmas. You couldn’t make it up.

Put the ‘Great’ back in Britain THE doom and gloom stories that abound if we leave the EU are becoming quite preposterous. Collapse of the housing market, inflation at 7 per cent or more, jobs will dry up, factories will close. What a lot of nonsense. The latest block of apartments in London to go to the market, 50 per cent have been snapped up by overseas buyers. The Nissan factory at Sunderland turns out a Qashqai Mark II every 62 seconds, 52 days a week, 24 hours per day besides the other makes and models they produce in huge numbers. Does anyone really believe they will close the factory and set up elsewhere? Never. This government has made cutbacks on just about everything, including the fuel allowance for expats to try and balance the economy and it never will as long as we are giving £350 million per week to the EU. Hospitals are at breaking point, not enough doctors and nurses. Police numbers are down, yet crime is up. Prisons are short-staffed and bursting with foreign criminals we can’t deport. Macedonia, Montenegro Serbia and Albania have been promised acceptance to join and the UK has been asked (ordered) to pay in a further £2 billion per year to bring them up to standard. Turkey have been promised travel visas so we can expect a good size of the 75 million Muslims to swell the over 400 Mosques already in London. This is madness. We must vote to leave the EU now and start to govern ourselves. Put the ‘Great’ back in Britain and trade with all the world. We have the skills and diversity to do it, so let us all stick together and leave the EU. B Kendall from Benidorm
Stay and fight THE real cowards are those people who don’t have the balls to stand up and fight for reform so their only answer is to run up the white flag and retreat. It doesn’t take a genius to see the advantage in being part of a united Europe. It does take a truly courageous person to stay inside and kick some doors down to bring about change. Unfortunately this would be a little too much for Brexits’ three stooges. Ian

Your brother makes assumptions that they are claiming benefits, he does not know that for a fact, and, in any event, tens of thousands of people on low pay are entitled to claim benefits, at least this man works unlike many caucasian Brits who have never done a day’s work for years. I know quite a few near me. Yet ‘James from Gran Alacant’, on the strength of this hearsay and with no personal knowledge of his own, sees fit to write to the local MP and two local newspapers to express his “disgust.” Words fail me. Sean
Spain too liberal?
QUITE right that the Mallorca authorities banned ‘Geordie Shore’ from filming on the island. All the very reasonable points made by the expats I know on immigration in the UK are undermined when we have a cast of disgraces with passports embarrassing Britain on Spanish soil.
Euro 2016 WIT H th e E u ro p e a n C ha mpionships underway, as a proud Cz e c h w h o h as live d in Spa in (from Palma de Mallorca to Tarifa) for nearly 18 years now, I will b e s u p p o rtin g E ngla nd in the ir fight against Slovakia on June 20. My wife’s extended family all come from Slovakia to Spain each summer to stay with us and there’s nothing I enjoy more than having a good excuse to laugh at them. I hope my extra support makes your English readers happy but I must warn that, if we play one another, we will crush you. Pavel
Imagine a Spanish reality TV show saw a bunch of wasted narcissists from Madrid descend on Bristol for a night out, well unfortunately they’d blend right in, but if we had a decent culture to colonise I like to think we’d ban them too. Sally
Hateful hearsay I WAS appalled to read the letter from ‘James from Gran Alacant’ in last week’s edition dated June 9. First and foremost, all his “information,” by his own admission, is second-hand from his brother so he does not know the actual facts or the circumstances of this family who he says his brother says are “Arab” based on his brothers hearsay, who himself says he does not know as “they never speak or make contact.” Yet he seems to know that he is
a taxi driver with a “partner and four c hi l dr en and i s pr obabl y claiming benefits.” I would say that your brother seems to know a lot about people who “never speak or make contact,” none of which is his business anyway and he has no right to make such comments about people he knows nothing about and both of you could find yourself in serious trouble for doing so. And, if your brother is the sort of loc a l t hey have com e up against, no wonder they “don’t speak or make contact,” personally I w oul d t el l your br ot her t o mind his own business in no uncertain terms.

OPINION & COMMENT
LEGALLY SPEAKING Intelligent road signs 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. A NEW wave of road signs is being installed across much of the main road network in Spain, as part of a multimillion euro investment scheme to make the roads safer. Illuminated signs offering more protection at roundabouts have already been installed on the infamous N-332 around Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca which flash in the direction of movement and triangular signs that flash orange to warn us of the approaching hazard. These sign groups have two units, one is the detector, the other the receptor and warning sign. When traffic flows freely the signs look like nothing more than a black square. But, when traffic is detected, the square displays an electronic version of the triangular P-31 road sign, warning of congestion, with flashing orange lights to attract attention. These are not the only intelligent signs being installed on the road network. In other areas of Spain a number of junctions have already had warning systems installed which tell drivers on the main carriageway that there is a vehicle at a junction ahead on a minor road likely to join or cross the flow of traffic. Sensors built into the road, similar to those used to monitor traffic flow, become aware of the presence of a vehicle at the junction. They are able to identify the size and type of vehicle, if needed, and send the information to the warning sign located on the m a i n c a r riage-
way, offering an extra set of eyes to the driver and the theoretical ability to see beyond bends and buildings ahead, reducing the surprise factor and, hopefully, reducing the risk. The ‘dynamic junction warning system’ uses low-cost technology to exchange information between the vehicle, infrastructure and back to the vehicle, aiming to warn of the proximity of vehicles at junctions. So far, four locations in Spain have these signs, chosen because of their high incident rate. Two are located in Madrid and León, the others in Navarra and A Coruña.

He has presented a water project for €380,000, street lighting project for €333,000, cleaning of green area for €303,000, plus €474,000 to bring court cases against non-payers. We are told the owners’ contribution to these projects can only be calculated by way of catastral value and not by Community coefficient values. For the water project I pay €831. If calculated by coefficient values, it would be €304.Your comments will be appreciated. P.F. (Costa Blanca) Something has been left out of the story.

Rude revenge Mike Senker
In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man FOR you who think being grumpy and having a moan is easy, you should know that it has to be used in the right circumstances, because if used by the wrong person, to the wrong person, at the wrong time the outcome can be, to say the least, disastrous. To quote the late, great Max Bygraves, “I’m going to tell you a story.” It was told to me by the man that was allegedly there when it happened. He was in a line checking in for an international flight with one of the big American airlines. He was travelling Club Class and in front of him there was a business man on his phone talking particularly loudly and giving it large about some deal he had done. The line wasn’t moving too fast and although it was a fraction of the normal length the bloke was moaning to whoever he was talking to. He got to the front of the line, put his bag on the scales and then started having a go at the check in lady. It wasn’t just a moan - he was being seriously rude having a go at her at the top of his
voice about all the things he thought were wrong and why wasn’t he entitled to an upgrade? He was annoyed about so many things and the young lady just kept smiling and very politely saying sorry about this and sorry that he wasn’t happy about that and he just kept yelling. Anyway eventually he goes and my friend checks in and says to her that he couldn’t believe how she kept so cool and didn’t just refuse to deal with him. Her reply was amazing. She explained that she never got mad with this type of customer but she did get even. My friend asked, “What do you mean”? She said that although that man was travelling to London …...she had sent his bags to Tokyo!! See what I mean? There was a person that thinks that being grumpy and having a moan works all the time. But it doesn’t! Another tip is to be careful about having a moan in restaurants and be particularly careful about sending food back. Obviously sometimes it has to be done but you don’t want that pizza coming back with any extra toppings on it! That reminds me of the story about the pizza restaurant owner found dead on the floor covered with ham, cheese, pepperoni, peppers, chicken and pineapple …. the police said they don’t know how he died but think he topped himself.

An aborted departure
Minister’s trip to London
Governor’s wife is sponsor
JUST a few days after a bird strike grounded a British Airways aircraft, another BA plane had to abort takeoff on June 14 because of technical problems. In accordance with government regulations, the Accident and Emergency Department at St Bernard’s Hospital was cleared but there were no injuries.
THE Minister for Telecommunications, Joe Bossano, is attending the 2016 Commonwealth ICT Ministers Forum in London. This year’s forum, which is held biennially, is due to review ICT regulation, broadband, cyber security and ICT applications, and the minister has been invited to appear on a panel which will consider data privacy and its implications.
LORRAINE DAVIS, wife of the Governor, has agreed to become the ‘Lady Sponsor’ of the Royal Navy Gibraltar squadron. Traditionally this was a role fulfilled by a member of the Royal family but the practice has spread to allow ‘commoners’ to become involved in the support and morale of Royal Navy ships as well as commercial vessels.
Chief Minister addresses the UN Committee of 24
GIBRALTAR joined in with the international expressions of regret following the killing of 49 and wounding of 53 people at the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida in the early morning of June 12, by Omar Mateen, who declared himself a representative of Daesh but may in fact have been gay himself.
49 people were killed by the crazed gunman.
Regardless of this maniac’s reasons, the Moorish Castle was lit in the colours of the rainbow on Monday night in memory of those killed, and the Equality Rights Group’s diversity flag was also flown on Tuesday at half mast over Number Six Convent Place.

ON Sunday June 12, the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia left Gibraltar for New York in order to attend the session of the UN Special Committee on Decolonisation, usually known as the Committee of 24. The Chief Minister addressed the Committee on Monday, June 13 and took the opportunity to argue that the Committee must abide by its responsibilities and remove Gibraltar from the list of non-self-governing territories. Mr Picardo also said that the committee is not only failing spectacularly in its mandate to protect the people of non-self-governing territories, and is conspiring with Spain against the interests of the people of Gibraltar. He once again suggested that the committee should visit Gibraltar before making any comment about the territory.

reminding visitors of the wealth of different cultural influences that are not only to be seen, but also to be tasted in Gibraltar. This will be the largest Calentita ever held and in order to ease congestion, it will run from Casemates into Market Place and Corral Road, so that all of the different food offerings, which will see British, German, Gibraltarian, Indian and Portuguese to name a few, can be prepared and enjoyed in comfort.

YOUR STARS CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A way opens up before you that can bring wealth. Branching off from that is a path to certain happiness. Which will you take? If having that money means changing your nature (or trying to) is that going to make you happy? On the other hand, if you sidestep the money can you still be happy? Keep things simple. You know where you are. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you looking for guidance? Maybe you are thinking that a recent acquaintance will be able to provide it. You ran something by a few friends and they are not so sure. That is because this is a situation where you need an expert, not a well-wisher. Best not to waste your time and jangle your nerves. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) It appears at times that you are in the middle of a play. The lights are on you, the mike’s wired, your audience awaits, then nothing. Not that you are lost for words. You know exactly what to say and do. What you are wondering is why you are there in the first place. Maybe where you are was not intended. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) There’s a lot of buzzing going on in your head. No, it isn’t tinnitus, it’s something quite different. You know it’s a great time to get ideas and act on them. However, trying to act on too many at once is causing some confusion. Maybe there’s too much going on.
GEMINI
(May 22 - June 21)
Someone needs to learn to stand on their own two feet. It isn’t you, but it’s close. Finding a balance between helping and idly standing by while mistakes are made is necessary. It’s not easy but it has to be done. You may break into a sweat this week and it won’t suit your nerves, but you’ll get through.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You’ve been working hard, maybe in the dark some of the time. This week someone shines a torch on your situation and you see exactly where you are. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Getting a creative project started has opened your eyes to many things. Perhaps you question why you did not do it before. The fact is that it doesn’t matter. You are where you are right here and not because that was where you were heading. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Just imagine for one day that you have achieved everything your heart has desired. When you wake up in the morning believe it is so. Feel how your spirits lift and your heart sings. Carry that feeling through the week and beyond. If you believe that you are a success you can be. Why stop when it feels so good?

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Your old shoes are comfortable and still have a lot of wear in them but someone is suggesting that you should buy some new shoes and throw the old ones away. They are no longer shiny. They are no longer fashionable. They do, however, provide all that you need. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) That little bit of extra cash has made you realise something. Not everything is as simple as you would wish it to be, and throwing money at a problem will not make it go away entirely. There are some things that you need to come to terms with. It is much easier to incorporate the uneasy into your life if you take a more relaxed attitude. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Sometimes, when we are making a journey, it is not the usual route that is best. Something has changed in your sphere and there is a need to adjust to it. There are other options that will bring the same result and maybe even a more convenient one. You will need to do two things. The first is to open your mind to the possibilities.

A TRIO of men join a scientific expedition to one of the few remaining uncharted areas of the world and discover a lost civilisation populated entirely by women, which is not only functional, but a flawless utopia. Gilman’s novella is both bold, and empowering; humour and devastation are neatly entwined into the misconceptions of women’s capabilities and needs. Written in 1915, this feminist utopian novella was ahead of its time and remains relevant today. books@euroweeklynews.com
Spain is one of the most popular destinations in Europe, with an array of beautiful cities and towns, diverse landscapes, and historical influences, it’s easy to see why that would be the case. You’ve probably visited Barcelona and heard of Alicante, so we wanted to list (in no particular order) some of the more lesser-known, underrated towns and cities in Spain. 1. Salamanca Located in central Spain, Salamanca boasts breathtaking beauty due to the nearby sandstone quarries from which many of the city’s buildings were constructed. The golden light that radiates from the stone at sunset has warranted Salamanca the nickname ‘The Golden City.’ The city is home to one of Europe’s finest universities, features historic architecture, and the people have an enthusiastic love for life. 2. Granada At the foot of the Sierra Nevada lies the provincial capital of Granada in Spain’s Andalucia region. The city offers a noteworthy peek into Spain’s Moorish history with the 13th-century palace of Alhambra, legendary citadel, and ornate architecture. Wander around the city’s old Muslim quarter, watch the sunset from the paved lookout of the Mirador de San Nicolas, or take advantage of Granada’s generosity with some free tapas for every glass of wine or beer. 3. Bilbao Spain’s largest port city in the north of Spain is home to the Guggenheim Bilbao museum, which is one of architect, Frank Gehry’s most remarkable accomplishments. There are also several eminent churches in the city’s historic Old Quarter, some dating back to the 1300’s. 4. Logroño The northern city was once a fortified medieval town, and the Old Quarter still reigns supreme. The grand and beautiful statues and carvings within and around the Gothic-style Santa Maria de Palacio are a

SALAMANCA: Nicknamed ‘The Golden City.’ must-see. Logroño is known for its worldrenowned Spanish wine as well as dining scene. 5. Valencia A fabulous example of the old and new blended together perfectly; Valencia has always been one of Spain’s most important cities. It is considered the birthplace of paella, and the modernist City of Arts and Science is potentially the most symbolic sight in Valencia. Venture out of the city and you can find the Albufera Natural Park, a wetlands reserve with walking trails and a lake. 6. Ourense The origin of this town can be traced to the Roman era, and you can still find many bridges that date back to this period. Main attractions include the hot springs that bubble to the surface all throughout the town, including along the banks of the Miño River, and the historic Old Quarter. 7. Vitoria Although it is the capital of the Basque Country, it is usually overshadowed by San Sebastian and Bilbao. Public spaces are sociable, relaxing, and picturesque, and the charming corners, and squares, present charismatic architecture and monuments. In July, the famous Vitoria Jazz Festival is held and, as you might expect, there’s delicious food all year round.
8. Tarragona With the Roman Amphitheatre overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the city’s Roman civilization, Tarraco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and beautiful beaches, it’s not difficult to see why Tarragona made our list. A vibrant seaside city, with an abundance of culture, great food, and modernist architecture makes this city essential to visit. 9. Malaga Perhaps best known as the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, (and of this its inhabitants are immensely proud), Malaga is a culture hub for art and history. There is a buzzing bohemian district, known as SOHO, citycentre roof top terraces, and plenty of eateries to choose from. Visit the Moorish fortress, Alcazaba, or walk up to the viewing point at Gibralfaro Castle to watch the sun set over the city and sea. 10. Cordoba Capital of the province of Cordoba, this city is home to the warmest temperatures in Spain and Europe. It has the second largest old town in Europe, which has been named the largest urban area in the world to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Meander around patios and courtyards filled with flora, wander through the Jewish quarter, or gaze upon the Alcazar.

Korma India back its favou CHEF SALIM, considered by many to be the best Indian chef on the Costa del Sol who constructed the original Korma menu is back from Germany where he went to see if he could discover any new ideas, but he just couldn’t keep away from Spain in general and Korma Restaurant in particular. This talented mixer of exotic spices has spent 40 years learning his trade and teaching youngsters how to produce the exquisite specialities such as the Muragh dishes the restaurant offers, which are basically six unusual varieties of mouth-watering chicken dishes blended with a range of spices and vegetables added. Very few restaurants are able to offer this delicacy and even fewer can come close to matching the quality.
As the summer approaches, this comfortable restaurant overlooking the sea in Riviera del Sol is looking forward to continuing to welcome British visitors and locals who know a great deal about Indian food and who find near perfection here. If you are looking for somewhere to visit with the family, your partner or friends, there are a number of criteria that need to be met. You want good quality food, friendly staff who speak English and Spanish, comfortable surroundings, a good selection at sensible prices and easy parking. The restaurant which is open from 6pm to midnight every day of the week offers all of the well-known dishes that curry aficionados crave from the delicious mild, sweet korma after which dish the restaurant is

Most of the performers are well-known Spanish acts and DJs committed to the resurrection of disco-funk. The highlight of the evening however will be the appearance of 71-year-old Miami soul legend George McCrae, best remembered perhaps for the huge 1974 hit ‘Rock Your Baby’ but he will also no doubt be previewing tracks from his 2016 album LOVE.

By John Smith THE Villa Tiberio in Marbella has welcomed many important guests to its unique setting over the years but on Sunday June 12, owner Sandro Morelli was almost in tears as he formally opened the Spring to Summer Ball, the ninth he has hosted, to raise funds for Children with Cancer UK. Catering for more than 200 people seems to come easily to the welltrained kitchen and serving staff of this much respected restaurant and there was an unprecedented number of special musical guests who gave of their busy time to fly over to add their contribution to such a worthy cause. Founder of the charity John O’Gorman, who lost two children to cancer within nine months of each other attended with other representatives of the charity both from the UK and Spain to explain not only why he had founded it, but how it had developed in association with Great Ormond Street Hospital and with no financial help from the government had man-
aged to improve the chances of recovery for a child from leukaemia to 92 per cent. One of the many guests at the ball was well-known songwriter and TV personality Tony Hatch who with his wife Maggie had come over especially from Menorca to add his support to the evening. Sandro spoke to Euro Weekly News during the evening explaining that he was passionately committed to helping to raise funds and awareness of cancer in children and that before this, the ninth ball, his evenings had raised over ₏350,000 for the charity and he had his eyes set on another record evening to help those who are so much in need. For him, every child saved is a child who has the possibility to grow up to become the next Albert Einstein or Mother Teresa and he feels that it is his duty to do what he can to help

Bird Society news A FINE PERFORMANCE: Philip, Annemarie and Luis.
Joyous music A PERFORMANCE by the choir and orchestra of Collegium Musicum with the Camerata Singers of Puccini’s joyous Messa di Gloria under the baton of the ebullient Annemarie Philipps with Philip Borg tenor and Luis Lopez Navarro bass-baritone can only be described as triumphant, so much so that, possibly because of the climactic ending to the Gloria, the audience gave a spontaneous burst of applause before the Credo. The 80 or so choristers were in fine voice, and both of the soloists gave an immaculate and touching rendering of what must be the first major oratorio of the 18-
year-old Puccini. The evening began with SaintSaens Morceau de Concert op.94 with Alexander Mutafchiev, on French horn, whose playing evoked memories of Dennis Brain. The whole of this took place in the Iglesia de la Encarnacion in Marbella and the very appreciative audience insisted on an encore that was given by choir, orchestra and soloist to further cheers. Collegium Musicum are always looking for new instrumentalists and choristers so for further information contact Driekje Lawson on 952 775 492 or 659 111 526 or by email secretaria@col mus.org.
ON Saturday June 18, the Andalucia Bird Society will be going to the La Mancha region of Spain to visit the area around Almagro. This is the Don Quijote part of the Spanish plain and is steeped in history. The town is surrounded by small mountain ranges and several important shallow creeks. It is also a volcanic region, one of the few in the Iberian Peninsula. The visit will be led by the professional guide Vicente Malagon Sanroma and starts with a drive out to the Calatrava Steppes which are rolling arable areas with little tree or shrub cover. Here there can be seen the famous steppe birds: great and little bustard, stone curlew, pin-tailed and black-bellied sandgrouse, golden and Spanish imperial eagle, lesser kestrel and Montagu’s harrier. From there, they will drive to Laguna del Prado (a RAMSAR site) and look for water birds such as flamingos, pratincoles, ducks and terns. Lunch will be at the nearby river where there is an abundance of songbirds which can be seen as lunch is eaten. After the picnic, the visit will continue to the volcanic area near Almagro and then onto Jabalon Reservoir for another chance to see wading birds and herons.

Non-toxic methods of weed control Dick Handscombe
Gardening Corner By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.
I, LIKE an increasing number of expatriate gardeners in Spain, prefer to not use potent chemical weedkillers but at the same time want to avoid the backbreaking task of continually hoeing, mattocking, hand pulling, hand trowelling and forking out weeds. Fortunately there are several things one can do when planning a new garden or modifying an existing one as outlined below. Ground cover plants Plant flowering and evergreen plants that will soon grow sideways and create deep shade below the green growth which will make it difficult for most weeds to germinate and survive. Minimise planted areas Design the garden with smallish flower beds and shrubberies surrounded by wide paths, terraces and areas of stone chippings laid over solid plastic sheeting over which plant growth can be allowed to overlap.
WEEDING THE GARDEN: Backbreaking work. Covering areas to block out light for a few weeks One can use pieces of old carpet, old rugs or pieces of heavy grade black plastic sheeting to achieve this.
Permanent deep mulching As described in Section 4.7 of the book How to use less water in your garden there are many ways of mulching plants once weeded to reduce the growing of new weeds.
Solarisation I first saw this method being used extensively in the vegetable growing areas surrounding the city of Valencia, but it is also easily used in new gardens to kill off weeds and weed seeds before areas of soil are planted up with flowering plants or vegetables. For instance solarisation is ideal if you plan to develop a vegetable garden on an area of wild ground that is currently covered with a dense mass of annual and perennial weeds, and with many fallen but ungerminated seeds on and in the soil at the moment. As outlined below the method is inexpensive, not labour intensive and relatively fast during the hottest months of the year. Having selected a well located area of the garden mark it out with posts or rocks and then buy a sheet of clear heavy grade plastic, the shape of the area to be cleared of weeds but a little larger. Then dig a 15 centimetre deep trench around the intended veggie plot. When this is done water the area and then immediately cover the damp weed covered soil with the plastic, placing rocks on the plastic sheeting to
Solarisation is a method used extensively in vegetable growing areas surrounding Valencia to control and kill off weeds, but this can easily be used in your garden before planting up prevent it being blown away. Then push the edges of the plastic into the trench and bury them. The area of soil will now be sealed and wind will not be able to get under the sheet of plastic. Now watch and wait as existing weeds wither, die and turn to dust and any seeds germinate and soon die. During the hottest months of June to September everything should be totally burnt and turned to dust in six to eight weeks. Naturally during the winter an extra month or two will be necessary. By starting to use solarisation in the next few weeks you will have with a weed-free area by the end of August. Š Dick Handscombe June 2016
Help out our feathered friends, think inside the box AS the natural habitats of many bird species continue to take a pummeling, nest boxes are the ideal way to help our feathered friends flourish, and here are some tips on building your own. In terms of materials, wood is the most suitable since it allows the box to breathe, helps
maintain an ambient temperature, thus avoiding overheating and excess condensation. For long-lasting boxes consider using hardwoods like beech or oak and avoid treated wood that may leach chemicals and harm birds. Use wood at least 15mm thick to provide good insu-
lation, while nails or screws should be galvanized to prevent rusting. Drill a couple of drainage holes in the base, and add a waterproof hinge to the roof to allow for an annual clean once the occupants have moved out.
In terms of the access hole, the diameter depends on which species you want to attract, with 25 mm recommended for small tits, 28 mm for great tits and flycatchers, 32 mm for house sparrows and nuthatches, and 45 mm for spotless starlings.
An unwelcome guest WITH the high temperatures set to feature everyday for the next three to four months, you might have already woke to the unwelcome sight of a gravity-defying lizard staring down at you from the ceiling. While not dangerous, it can be troublesome and offputting having reptiles scuttling around, and especially problematic if the adventurer brings his friends to the party. Luckily there are plenty ways to get around the problem and enjoy a lizard free home. Egg shells, garlic cloves and onions are among the simplest deterrents. Leaving them at strategic locations
should prevent an invasion. You can also use bird feathers to dissuade lizards from entering as birds are natural predators, while a house cat can also work wonders. For those who have managed to sneak inside you can try sweeping them into a cardboard box using a cold water spray to stun them. Mousetraps and electric repellents also work, while roaming lizards have a tendency to get stuck to fly paper. Remember that lizards prey on insects so the cleaner your home is the less likely they are to swoop in and give you a rude morning awakening.

Maximising space in your bathroom
DETERMINED DECLUTTER: Store only items that you really need. By Simon Russell IF you have a small bathroom, use of space is particularly important, experts provide some tips worth remembering. Remove all personal items e.g. towels, make-up, hair dryers, etc. as this gives you a clear picture of the space you have. Then you can decide what really needs to be moved back and what can be stored elsewhere.
Storage boxes that stack together are another obvious move. Try and store similar items together e.g. hair care products in one box, unopened shampoos, toothpastes in another and so on. Small shelving units can also be useful as is a shower rack for soap and shampoo rather than having them on your sink or bath. Finally, battery operated shavers are usually smaller and safer.

Think inside the box By Matt Ford AS the natural habitats of many bird species continue to take a pummeling, nest boxes are the ideal way to help our feathered friends flourish, and here are some tips on building your own. In terms of materials, wood is the most suitable since it allows the box to breathe, helps maintain an ambient temperature, thus avoiding overheating and excess condensation. For long lasting boxes consider using hardwoods like beech or oak and avoid treated wood that may leach chemicals and harm birds. Use wood at least 15mm thick to provide good insulation, while nails or screws should be galvanized to prevent rusting. Drill a couple of drainage holes in the base, and add a waterproof hinge to the roof to allow for an annual clean once the occupants have moved out, but don’t add a perch as this may attract unwanted visitors. In terms of the access hole, the diameter depends on which species you want to attract, with 25mm recommended for small tits, 28mm for

For extra security, a clasp can be added to prevent predators from opening the box.

Easy does it Children are always excited about a new pet. Don’t allow them to overwhelm him with attention and handling. They should be taught to play gently with him, and never to disturb him when he is sleeping or eating. Parental supervision is important. Call me by my rightful name You’ve probably given your dog a new name. Use it frequently and try always to associate it with good things: affection, approval and fun. I’m just not myself today When he is first settling in, your new pet may have problems of shyness, anxiety, restlessness, excitement, crying or barking. Physical symptoms may include excessive waterdrinking, frequent urination, diarrhoea or a poor appetite. If
CAPTURED: ’Say Cheese’ by Louis Johnson. House-sitting can be a win-win for both parties, free house and pet-sitting and the experienced and checked sitters get free accommodation! To find a pet-sitter go to www.HouseSit Match.com or call Lamia on +44 (0)1865521508.
FOREVER HOME: Most dogs settle in quickly and become a member of the family. any of these symptoms last for more than a few days call your veterinarian. Your wish is my command Be consistent. Decide on the rules and stick to them. For example, be sure you and your children understand whether or not the dog is allowed on the furniture. Does that mean all the furniture or just some of it? If you change the rules, the dog will be confused. Don’t allow him to do something one time and forbid it the next. Basic training
Obedience training can be very helpful to the adult dog and to you. However, it is not the same as training a puppy with no prior training. Your dog may have learned commands other than the ones you use. Take time for him to adjust to your commands. You can train the dog yourself or take him to an obedience class with a qualified trainer. Wait until after the first week to start formal training. The training period can be a good way to create a strong bond between you and
your dog. In addition, the dog can learn what you expect of him and how he can please you. Both of these things are very important to him. Member of the family Most dogs adjust quickly to their new families, within a week or two. Some take longer. Very few dogs are unable to adjust at all. In most cases the dog will be a welladjusted member of the family within a month. In fact, you may find it difficult to remember a time when he wasn’t part of the family.

Inquisitive and gentle creatures CHINCHILLAS are among the most suitable rodents to be considered as a family pet, despite being predominantly nocturnal. They are relatively low maintenance, quiet, and do not produce offensive smells,
while they can also become quite tame if handled from a young age, even forming a bond with their owner. In Spain, the main issue is temperature, since chinchillas require a constant range of 60-75°F, meaning
they are unsuitable for owners without a basement, or those unwilling to use airconditioning during the summer. They are extremely active and should be provided with a suitably large cage, ideally
with multiple levels and a solid base to avoid them trapping their feet. A solid exercise wheel can be added, and if you let your fluff ball out for play time, be aware that these animals can jump several feet in the air, squeeze through surprisingly small spaces, and will likely gnaw on wires, furniture and other items. Feeding should consist only of hay, chinchilla pellets, with treats best avoided or offered only occasionally. Clean water should be regularly provided and soiled hay or bedding should be removed daily with the entire cage cleaned each week.

CHARITIES ACE CHARITY “El Refugio” in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. 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-chari ty.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call Marjorie 952 79 74 05 or 636 934 146 (93319) SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public week-ends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled 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@sepeon line.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-

The newest Italian stallion MAZZANTI debuted its Evantra Millecavalli at the 2016 Turin Auto Show on June 8, with the sleek beast promoted as the most powerful car ever made in Italy. The name is apt as Millecavalli is Italian for ‘a thousand horses’. The hypercar vision of the original Evantra has a power output of, yes you guessed it, 1,000 hp. With Ferrari’s LaFerrari stoking a measly 950 hp, the Millecavalli claims to be Italy’s most powerful prodigal son, a boast easily supported by its twin-turbocharged 7.2 litre V8 engine featuring peak torque of

brakes, OZ Racing lightweight wheel and Pirelli Trofeo tyres lend a sophisticated aesthetic and feel. “Our new hypercar is an arrival point for us,” said CEO and founder Luca Mazzanti. “Not an absolute arrival, but the result of meticulous work and a
refining process started since the delivery of the Evantra project. I strongly believe a car manufacturer shouldn’t be completely satisfied by the results just achieved and should always aim to perfect them .” The car on display in Turin
was a prototype. Plans are afoot to test it on premier racetracks across the world to fine tune it for limited production. Mazzanti has often been overshadowed by rival Italian manufacturers but has grown reputation an elite manufacturer of quality handcrafted cars.

Hackers expose flaws A SERIOUS security breach has forced Mitsubishi to recall 100,000 Outlander hybrid cars after hackers managed to turn off the car’s alarm and drain its battery. The Outlander uses wifi to allow drivers to access and change certain features remotely but it is less secure than other methods such as the GSM web service. The hack was conducted by a security expert who works for consumer and driver interests in ensuring their cars and personal data is protected. He also found that hackers could locate a car they were interested in easily using the same technology. Cybersecurity is fast becoming of chief concern to engineers working on new generation interactive cars.

Pink parking AN unusual new parking experiment is being explored in China, although it has received mixed feedback. Officials have decided to create ‘female only’ parking spaces in a service lot. They claim that since women drivers frequently require the assistance of male security guards when parking, they might as well have their own specially designed spots.

The XKSS reborn
With the same symbol as that found on female toilets, a pink border and 50 per cent larger than the average parking space, the spots are a godsend for stereotype and the sardonically minded. The decision has sparked debate across Chinese social media, with many people questioning whether it would make more sense to simply improve teaching methods during lessons.
JAGUAR: Rebuilding nine models after they were destroyed by a fire at their plant. By Matthew Elliott JAGUAR caught the attention of motoring enthusiasts last year when it announced plans to finish the legendary XKSS 1957 series.
A huge fire at the company World War Two era assembly plant had destroyed nine of the 25 original models, leaving just 16 in existence, one of which was bought by Steve McQueen. Rebuilding those nine is ex-
pected to be a mountainous challenge but the firm expects completion in around six months and has already sold the vehicles, at €1.3 million each, to private buyers. Original drawings and two
original cars have allowed the engineers to create a digital representation of the manufacturing process, while McQueen’s model can be found in a Los Angeles museum valued at €26 million.
Norway considering a petrol and diesel car ban ALL petrol and diesel based cars could be banned in Norway by 2025 if a green government blueprint comes into effect. The Scandinavian country is looking to
gradually phase out any non-electric vehicles, including hybrids, and expects that in a decade only electric or hydrogen fuel cell cars will be available for purchase.
Eco cars are incredibly popular in the oil rich country which is known for implementing progressive policies and is one of the world’s most bicycle friendly nations.

against Russia (1-1)… Wales claimed their first major championship win for 58 years by beating Slovakia 2-1… Northern Ireland succumbed 1-0 to Poland, Croatia squeezed past Turkey 1-0, Switzerland beat Albania 1-0 and Germany defeated Ukraine 2-0. • Belgium lost to Italy 2-0, the Republic of Ireland drew 1-1 with Sweden and Spain scraped past the Czech Republic 1-0 on Monday, and coming up, it’s England v Wales, Germany v Poland and Ukraine v Northern Ireland (today), Italy v Sweden and Spain v Turkey (tomorrow) and Belgium v Republic of Ireland and Portugal v Austria (on Saturday). • Group games conclude next Wednesday, with the last 16 games taking place on June 25, 26 and 27 . • More worrying is the crucial fact that FIFA has stated that if there is any more violence (similar to the violence that erupted in Marseille last weekend) involving England and Russia fans (wherever they may be), then both countries COULD be eliminated from the tournament! • In Copa America, hosts USA (after beating Paraguay 1-0 with a Clint Dempsey goal) joined Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and
Venezuela in the quarter-finals. CRICKET • In the third and final Test at Lords, England scored 416 (Jonny Bairstow 167 not out) and 233-7 declared (Alex Hales 94) while Sri Lanka replied with 288 (Chris Woakes 3-31) and 78-1 (persistant rain stopped play, the Test was declared a draw). The five ODI’s between the two countries take place on June 21, 14, 26 and 29, and July 2. RUGBY UNION • Last weekend, superb England, coached by an Aussie, Eddie Jones, beat Australia 39 points to 28 in the first of three Tests down under. Also New Zealand defeated plucky Wales 39-21, and 14-man Ireland (who had CJ Stander sent off) pulled off a memorable and historic 26-20 victory in South Africa. The next games, including Japan-Scotland, take place on Saturday, when England will be hoping to record their first-ever series win in Australia. RUGBY LEAGUE • After 18 games, it’s looking mighty tight at the top of Rugby’s Super League with Hull FC (28 points), Catalan Dragons (26), Wigan Warriors (26) and Warrington Wolves (24) all in the mix. GOLF • The US Open starts today at the Oakmount CC in Penn-
sylvania and the initial threeplayer groups include Danny Willett, Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler, Jordan Speith, Zach Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson, Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson and Jason Day, Adam Scott and Louis Oosthuizen. FORMULA ONE • Last Sunday’s Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal was won by Lewis Hamilton with Sebastian Vettel second and Valtteri Bottas third. Nico Rosberg now leads the driver’s championship by just nine points from his Mercedes team-mate Hamilton, who dedicated his fifth victory in Canada to the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali. Former champion Vettel actually complained to the stewards that back-markers were in his way… he hasn’t got the right of way on any one given track, has he? And Jensen Button wasn’t a happy chappie after his engine ‘blew up’ on the same track for the second year running. • This Sunday, the cars, drivers and crews are in the Azerbaijan capital of Baku for the European Grand Prix. TENNIS • The Aegon tournament at Queen’s club is taking place right now, ahead of the Wimbledon fortnight which starts on Monday, June 27. Youngster Dominic Thiem is the player in form after beating Roger Federer in the re-

Premier League fixtures revealed By Matthew Elliott REIGNING champions Leicester City will travel to newly promoted Hull City for the first game of their premier league title defence on Saturday, August 13. As unlikely as that sentence might have sounded at the beginning of a engaging and unpredictable 2015/2016 campaign, Leicester’s day may well be overshadowed by an intriguing fixture list for the first day of the new season. Jose ‘The Special One’ Mourinho will kick-off his Manchester United tenure at sunny Bournemouth, while his old El Classico nemesis Pep Guardiola stays home in Manchester to take on a Sunderland side that narrowly avoided the drop. At the Emirates, Arsenal and Liverpool will engage in an early battle of top-four contenders, while London rivals Chelsea and West Ham will see new manager
WINNERS: Leicester will travel to Hull for their opening fixture of the 2016/2017 campaign. Antonio Conte try and shake off the blues from a disappointing season by pitting his talent against a strong Hammers side that will be looking to improve on last season’s seventh-placed finish. Other opening fixtures see Everton play host to Tottenham at
Goodison Park, new entrants Burnley test their mettle at home to Swansea, Stoke visit Middlesbrough, Southampton entertain new boys Watford, and Crystal Palace take on West Brom at home. The following weekend Foxes’
fans will see if Leicester can shake off an Arsenal side that seemed to have their number last season despite finishing second, while September 10 will see the first Manchester derby take place at Old Trafford, with the Etihad return on February 25.
All eyes will be on Mourinho when he returns to Stamford Bridge on October 22 for the first time since his ignominious departure from the club he led to three Premier League titles in another of the plot twists set to make the 2016/17 season one to watch. The Liverpool derby will have its first leg at Goodison on December 17, and the Anfield return on April 1, while old rivals Arsenal and Tottenham do battle on November 5 and April 29 at the Emirates and White Hart Lane respectively. The season concludes on May 21, with what should be straightforward matches for the big guns feeling the pressure of European qualification, and a likely tight finish for top spot. Champions Leicester will take on Bournemouth, Manchester United play Crystal Place, their city rivals finish at Watford, Arsenal entertain Everton, as Chelsea do Sunderland, while Tottenham travel to Hull.
