Take the plunge in Marbs By Matt Ford Marbella has always attracted the high-end market, with its upscale designer emporia and mega-yachts docked at neighbouring Puerto Banus, plus a booming cosmetic surgery industry, as confirmed by the proliferation of soft-focus ‘clinica cosmetica’ billboards. Now, the glitzy resort is to explore a new way to attract the global elite, with the opening of its first municipal wedding office, offering well-heeled clients the chance to tie the knot on one of the city’s sandy beaches. In addition to promising a rain-free trot down the aisle with the Mediterranean Sea as a backdrop, crafty councillors have masterminded a way for the office to arrange all necessary documentation for newlyweds. The fledgling initiative already has its first clients, with an unspecified beach near Puerto Banus to be the scene as a ‘foreign-born’ couple exchange their vows, accompanied by around 200 friends and family members. The pioneering pair will receive special commemorative plaques from the council, who trust that this will be the first in a new dawn of opulent nuptial

ceremonies seen under their watch. Moreover, the attendees will spend a minimum of four days each in Marbella, and the city hall believes that such visitor

retention should yield lavish financial rewards, since guests from other countries are likely to be of “average to high purchasing power,” says municipal delegate Miguel Luna.

The office has apparently received “five or six” other requests from wealthy Europeans, but long-term the plan is to tickle the fancy of markets such as the United States and

China, as guests coming from further afield should spend more nights in the city according to Luna, who effuses that “to say you were married in Marbella has its connotations.”

RONDA’S TAJO: Has featured on thousands of postcards.

The 100 metre deep, 500 metre long chasm cut into the hill by the Rio Guadalevin, a landmark which features on thousands of postcards and is probably one of the most instantly recognisable spots in Andalucia, will figure on a decree naming five new natural monu-

BONFIRES: The fires littering the country’s beaches are said to have magical powers on the night of San Juan.

By Eleanor Hawkins THE Costa del Sol, like the rest of Spain, is gearing up for a magical night of celebration for the San Juan beach bonfire fiesta tonight (Thursday, June 23). Each year, thousands of people take to the beaches all along the Spanish coasts for the event, which marks th e s h o rtes t n ig h t o f t he year and the summer solstice with magical celebrations focused on fire, water

and purifying the soul. There are many traditions and superstitions surrounding the night of San Juan. Legend has it that if someone jumps through the fire three times then plunges themselves into the sea their soul will be cleansed, a belief which often leads to more cleansing of burns and wounds than souls, when young enthusiasm and alcohol combine! More sensible superstitions include walking into

the sea backwards at the stroke of midnight to attract a year’s worth of good luck, while some insist that a swim at midnight (or at least wetting your face if the water ’s too cold) will lead to waking up more beautiful the following day. The bonfires, apart from providing light and warmth for night-long parties, are also believed to be magical tonight, and tradition has it that throwing objects which bring bad memories into the

flames will have the desired effect. Malaga City, which has a tradition of creating juas (similar to guys burned on bonfires in the UK in November) featuring whatever the people wish to see disappear, has this year decided to get revenge on tiger mosquitoes, and will be burning two giant models of the pesky creatures on bonfires on the Playa de la Misericordia at midnight, hoping to make them stay away for good.

British expats fighting for Spanish passports By Abigail Armstrong MANY expatriates across Spain, and other European countries, have been desperately trying to find ways to remain in the EU in the wake of the impending referendum results. According to the BBC there are nearly 760,000 British residents in Spain, and while that number may vary (380,000 according to the Independent; 319,000 according to the Daily Telegraph) there are still more British expatriates living in Spain than any other part of Europe. Regardless, it is clear that a large amount of people have created lives in Spain, and the threat of leaving Spain and returning to the UK has prompted many long-term expatriates to request Spanish passports from Madridâ€™s Ministry of Employment and Social Security. The expatriates are using their long-term residency in Spain as a means to obtain passports. Applications for Spanish passports seemed to follow reports of a rush of Irish passport applications.

RESIDENCY: Applications for Spanish and Irish passports have spiked. Ireland is not involved in the EU referendum, and those national to Northern Ireland may legally hold both an Irish and UK passport. In Irish law, if you have at least one Irish grandparent, you are eligible for citizenship,

thus you are entitled to an Irish passport. In an effort to remain part of the European Union if Brexit does win, expatriates are desperately seeking approval from Spanish officials for the distribution of Spanish passports.

ADIOS: Hoddle is set for pastures (and fairways) new.

Goodbye to the diamond lights By Matt Ford A LUXURY villa, owned by 1980s crooner and Euro 2016 commentator Glenn Hoddle for the last 13 years, has gone on sale in Sotogrande. Aside from football, the exEngland, Spurs and Monaco star’s other great passion is golf, leading him to purchase the swanky Costa del Sol pad, but he has now decided to seek fresh fairways in another part of the world. He said: “I love the area of

Sotogrande and there are some of the most wonderful golf courses in Europe there. “My favourite part of the house is the terrace, I’ve spent many, many hours chilling and eating with family and friends. The views are wonderful and there is a calmness sitting there. “I’ve had the house as a holiday home for about 13 years but feel I want to experience a different place now.” The stunning house has five bedrooms distributed over

three floors, all of which are blessed with private terraces, plus four bathrooms and two reception rooms, while a huge swimming pool is nestled within verdant landscaped gardens. It also comes with a garage for two cars, underfloor heating and a spacious games room. Those wishing to emulate the man who favoured a fastand-loose approach to what constitutes acceptable menswear during his playing and brief musical careers, can do so for a cool €2.4 million.

Zoo-per wheeze By Matt Ford IT was tricky to determine which side of the bars housed the animals, as Bioparc Fuengirola was packed to the rafters on Sunday June 19, with visitors able to pay whatever they deemed appropriate based on their satisfaction, above a minimum price of €3 per person. The pilot scheme was cooked up by park bosses as a means to assess whether the attraction’s high rating on social media, where it is among the world’s top-rated zoos, is true or not. Visitors were thus handed a short feedback questionnaire to be filled in at the end of their visit, with ‘pink points’ for payment and submission of the survey scattered around the park. All profits from the day are to be donated to the Bioparc Foundation, which supports 25 conservation projects around the planet aiming to protect a range of species,

VAN GOL: The ex-striker at the summit of La Concha. By Matt Ford THE bench installed by a team of local firefighters at the peak of La Concha, high above Marbella in the Sierra Blanca mountains, in order to show solidarity for the Butterfly Childrenâ€™s Charity (DEBRA) has received its first celebrity guest.

Dutch footballing legend Ruud van Nistelrooy posted a series of images on his Instagram account on Saturday, June 18, after he scaled the 1,275 metre massif to demonstrate his support for the initiative, adding both the #Ban cosolidario hashtag and @PieldeMariposa tag to his photos.

This is no mean feat, as the route up to the peak is very steep in places, with rope climbing aids installed at some points, and it can be very hot indeed during summer, but the daring Dutchman, who has been living in Marbella since retiring in 2012, did not even appear to be out of breath.

Chiringuito chagrin By Matt Ford BEACH bars in the Los Alamos district of Torremolinos are up in arms, after the council decided that they must follow the same licensing rules as restaurants, meaning doors must be closed at 3am rather than 4am, as has been the norm for the last decade, during which the businesses have been left in ‘bureaucratic limbo’ over their licensing. The change in policy does not affect the playing of music, despite all the establishments being licensed as ‘musical restaurants,’ a category that in reality does not exist under Andalucian law, meaning that the bars will continue to bang out the tunes and “hope there are no complaints about it.” Furious bar owners have taken to the internet to express their odium, starting a petition entitled ‘Save Los Alamos’ on the Change.org website, asserting that the move will threaten 500 employees directly and up to 3,000, such as taxi drivers and hotel staff, indirectly.

He’s already said to be on the mend and manager Simon Porter told the Status Quo Fan Club “Rick was today flown to London by air ambulance. He’s comfortable and further tests will be conducted this week. There is nothing else to add at this stage.” The band continues to honour its commitments and played a charity gig on June 18 to raise funds for the Cumbria Flood Appeal with Freddie Edwards, the son of Quo bassist John ‘Rhino’ Edwards, stepping in for Rick which he also did in 2014.

and grand sounding idea of being the president of a community, turns a little sour, when the new president finds out how much work the position can entail. However the position of president cannot simply be passed on, a president has to be elected and once elected,

that person legally remains as president until they are replaced. Even if the president moves to another country they cannot just resign. There are, as usual, some misconceptions, such as the president would just nominate another owner to take over. Yes the president could bestow power of attorney to someone to act on behalf of the community but only for a specific issue and for nothing else and absolutely not over all. Probably the best one is, whoever buys the house of the president automatically becomes the president. Not so, the president is elected by the community. Usually if the president wants to relinquish their post they would call for an emergency general meeting to elect their replacement. This can be done quite quickly, as no specific waiting or prior notification period is needed for an emergency general meeting. If the president

died or became ill then the elected vice president would assume the position and arrange for the general meeting of owners to elect a new president. On failing this or if there

A community in Spain cannot legally be without a president and they cannot just resign.” was no elected vice president, then 25 per cent of the owners or 25 per cent of the percentage of ownership could convene a meeting for the same purpose. The community could elect or if no one came forward, name any owner at random to be president or just decide to take it in turns. On failing that, then a judge could appoint a new president. The last three scenarios may not work out too well

especially if the person named did not want the position. The main point is a community in Spain cannot legally be without a president and presidents cannot resign, they must hold their position until a new president can be elected. The presidential term of office, unless specified otherwise in the community statues, is usually for one year but again, this is only provided the serving president is replaced by a new president. If not, technically the same president remains in office until the situation is resolved. Likewise if the community is unhappy with their president, then 25 per cent of the owners or 25 per cent of the ownership of the community can call for a general meeting to have a president removed. Further complications may arise, in small communities where the president is also the administrator especially when it comes to contacting absentee owners. Such communities would do well to address this issue and see that a vice president is well informed in case of an emergency. As usual, we the lawyers for Intercala administration advise our readers to seek competent advice in all matters concerning the law.

one person was injured. Finally, that evening at about 6pm, a large container lorry toppled over at the bend prior to La Cala de Mijas just before Olivia’s, according to one witness making a noise similar to a jet taking off and causing additional long tailbacks. Emergency services including police and an ambulance were quick to attend the scene and by the following morning, all signs of the accident had been removed.

Rescue followed by man’s arrest OFFICERS of the National Police have detained a 50year-old Moroccan after a small inflatable boat containing 26 people was intercepted near the coast of Malaga following its journey from Nador in North West Morocco. It is alleged that each of the 26 migrants paid €1,000 to be allowed onto the boat

which was part of an organisation specialising in people smuggling and when the police interviewed those on board, it became obvious from maps and navigational equipment that the arrested man was actually the ‘skipper ’ of the boat and he has now been charged with the crime of aiding and abetting illegal immigration.

DON’T GET STUNG: There’s now an app with up-to-date information and help.

Stymied stingers By Matt Ford MALAGA City Council has once again launched a smartphone application for beachgoers concerned about the risk of jellyfish on the Costa del Sol’s beaches this summer. The app, called ‘Infomedusa 2016’, provides information regarding weather conditions and

status of the dreaded stinging blobs in local waters, advising if any swarms are spotted, and offering tips on how to cope in the unfortunate event of a sting. More than 27,000 citizens downloaded the app, which is free and available in both Android and iOS, in 2015, and there are several upgrades in the 2016 version.

Principal among these is that all provincial beaches are now featured, while the network of ‘spotters’ able to upload information has swelled considerably, comprising not only beach lifeguards but also service vessel employees, municipal officials, and beachgoers themselves.

TOWIE star out of action THE ONLY WAY IS ESSEX heart-throb Jake Hall has announced that he will not return to filming the show in the short-term, after his horror stabbing in Marbella which almost resulted in him losing a kidney. A TOWIE representative said: “We are letting Jake focus on his recovery before discussing a return to the series.” The news will come as a blow to Jake’s co-stars, who are currently in the Costa del Sol filming another episode of spin-off ‘The

Only Way is Marbs.’ Cast member Michael Hassini confirmed the decision, adding: “They’re discussing getting him back to England in the next couple of days but that’s only if he’s able to fly.” The injured star has been out and about over the last few days, posting a series of snaps on Instagram, where he has 306,000 followers, including one of himself by the pool clad in a snazzy pin-striped jacket-andshorts combo.

Barking mad A TORREMOLINOS resident has been fined €120 and ordered to pay €260 in compensation after beating up a neighbour whose dog barked incessantly. The resident went on the warpath, leading to a confrontation at the urbanisation entrance with the animal’s owner who was heading out. He was ordered not to leave the pooch on the terrace due to its howling. A heated discussion took place and the victim ended up being pushed to the floor, at which point he threatened his aggressor with police action before receiving a hefty punch on the nose, suffering injuries which took eight days to heal.

Sods law strikes By Matt Ford DOZENS of aspiring secondary school teachers were left in the lurch on Sunday J une 1 9 , a s t h e y w ere ma ro o n ed in Malaga after their flight to Asturias was cancelled. The travellers’ tribulations began as they arrived at the Costa del Sol’s airport ahead of their appointment in Oviedo the following morning, at which they were due to sit an examination, with the best performers being handed a job for the next academic year.

Disaster struck as the 40-string group began to hit the check-in desk, as Vueling announced that the flight had been delayed until the next day, meaning they would arrive late for a test for which child birth or miscarriage risk are the only excuses accepted. Many were said to be “crying and desperate,” since they had been preparing for the exam for many years, with some of those living locally making the decision to drive 1,000km overnight, whereas others were unable to find a hotel room, which Vueling had said they would pay for, until after 2am.

Indelible tribute quote revealed By Matt Ford PLAZA COSTA DEL SOL in Torremolinos has been transformed into a giant page from the English version of Cervantes’ classic novel Don Quixote, with words from the book permanently painted onto the tarmac on Tuesday June 21, as the town paid tribute to its foreign residents and visitors. The chosen quote is ‘Free-

dom, Sancho, is one of the most precious gifts <…>; for freedom, as for honour, life may and should be ventured’, and measures a prodigious 200 metres in length, after calligraphy and typography expert Julio Rodriguez put in a gruelling eight hour shift. Culture Councillor Aida Blanes explained that English was chosen because “Torremolinos is a place of coexistence, dialogue and multicul-

turalism, so we felt it appropriate to give a nod to our community of foreign residents, as well as the thousands of visitors who choose us for their holiday each year.” The phrase itself was selected “as a tribute to those foreigners who contributed their efforts to make our town a pioneer in the struggle for freedom in this country during the 1960s and 1970s.”

Wild chase of the tiger mosquito AS reported by EWN two weeks ago, experts from Huelva Province have been called in to determine the extent of the tiger mosquito invasion at the Guadalhorce river mouth, between Torremolinos and Malaga. After an extensive study the entomologists have concluded that the noxious insect is not currently and confirmed that while the manmade wetland

does contain suitable breeding grounds for the Asian invader, there are only native mosquitoes present, the same result obtained after surveying a water channel next to the Parador golf course. They will now return in autumn for a second look at the onset of the bloodsucker’s breeding season, but Costa del Sol residents can breathe easy for the time being.

Mullered mum misses the mark By Matt Ford

A MOTHER who was supposed to drive he r thre e -ye a r-old da ughte r to Sevilla on a visit to her estranged father was so drunk that she didn’t even make it out of Malaga, as she failed to

Both occupants were unhurt, but on seeing the sorry state of the pie-eyed parent a Local Police patrol decided to pull out a breathalyser, which revealed her to be almost five times over the le-

Men of the hour GUARDIA CIVIL security officers at Malaga airport have been hailed as heroes after saving the life of a passenger who suffered a stroke thanks to their swift actions. After receiving a call from a car rental office reporting that there was a lifeless body outside, the men grabbed the nearest defibrillator and hotfooted it to the scene, where two foreign passengers were attempting to revive the stricken individual. The officers continued CPR with no effect, so they employed the machine, with the passenger eventually beginning to breathe again following several shocks, after which he was transported to hospital.

Barbaric boyfriend sentencing begins

Track and field emergencies

A TRIAL to determine the sentence of a man convicted of murdering an English teacher began in Torremolinos on Tuesday June 21. The killer faces up to 20 years in prison for what prosecutors are calling a premeditated homicide, and they have also requested compensation of €200,000 for the 47-year-old woman’s family. She lost her life after a phone call to her exboyfriend to ask for a doctor ’s certificate she needed to present at work, leading him to visit her home with a 25cm kitchen knife hidden in his clothes. Following a lengthy argument, the jilted exlover produced the weapon and stabbed the victim while she had her back turned. The body was later discovered by her parents, who immediately informed the police.

A POLICEMAN and a firefighter from Malaga picked up eight track and field medals in the sixth European Police and Fire Games, which this year took place in Huelva with 5,200 participants. The two men bagged six golds and two silvers, and say that the dedication has paid off, but wish that they had more support from the council, saying “we saw officers from other places in Spain with sponsored kit and their accommodation paid for, but we had to fork out ourselves.” Firefighter Luis says that the extra training is no problem, since “when you have to climb nine floors carrying 30 kilos of equipment, it is better to be wellprepared.”

Summer learnin’ By Matt Ford FUENGIROLA is to offer a series of free events for children over the next three months as part of the town’s regular ‘Summer Youth’ programme. This year is focused towards youngsters between the ages of 12 and 18, who the council say are too old for summer school but too young to get a summer job.

12-18 the age group of children that the free events of the Summer Youth programme are aimed at.

Thus, a course in community management will be held from June 27 to July 1, supplemented by free classes in English or Chinese every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, plus drawing and comic

books every Tuesday and Thursday from July 1 to August 31. Chess classes are also available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with other events including a robotics course, paddle surf, Hawaiian hula dancing, creation of superhero masks, cookery classes including Mexican, Oriental and Norwegian cuisine, a hiking trail, and a Romero Santos concert on August 6.

Pension tension brings complaints THE United Left political coalition in Torremolinos has submitted a formal complaint regarding a new series of rules regulating rubbish collection in the town, which includes a number of grants for citizens on the council registry and “pensioners receiving money from Spanish public institutions, and all those over 65 years of age.” Spokesman David Tejeiro believes that the latter point is “discriminatory against hundreds of residents, probably unconstitutional, and appears to be tailor-made to

benefit two large shopping centres.” Tejeiro says that thousands of foreigners who live in Torremolinos take their pensions from non-Spanish public bodies, plus natives who have worked abroad but returned upon retirement, and who draw their pension from the country where they worked, arguing that grants should be applied with “objective reason,” based on citizens’ income, not whether their pensions are derived from Spain, France, or the United Kingdom.

Crafty call By Matt Ford TORREMOLINOS Council is seeking 10 artists-in-residence who are to spend the month of October in the town, with each receiving full board lodging, material expenses and a grant of €1,500, al-

though they will not be able to take their work away with them. Proposals can be submitted until September 2, with the chosen ones announced on September 8, and anyone is eligible to apply, whether born in Spain or not.

Tricky trading SUMMER sales have begun before summer has even kicked off, with most of the larger high street brands already displaying signs for discounts of up to 50 per cent on many products. The move has incensed owners of small businesses and other independent enterprises, who have strongly criticised the policy pursued by multinationals since the period in which discounts are permitted was deregulated in 2013. Every year since, the onset of the summer sales has occurred slightly earlier, with local trade unions quite correctly pointing out that this only serves to benefit businesses with large turnovers, leaving many local firms unable to compete. The uproar comes this year against a backdrop of uncertainty, with many Spaniards closing their wallets until the outcomes of the Brexit referendum and Spanish general election are resolved, according to local business owners.

Project manager Fernando Bayona said: “This will help change the image of Torremolinos, promoting a new cultural vision closer to reality.” Interested parties can seek further information via the website www.torremolinos.es.

Opening soon FOLLOWING years of delays and almost €31 million, the Guadalhorce Hospital, also known as CHARE, finally appears set to open its doors on June 28, with appointments for patients now being taken. The hospital will serve the municipalities of Alhaurin el Grande, Alhaurin de la Torre, Alora, Alozaina, Ardales, Carratraca, Cartama, Casarabonela, Coin, Guaro, Monda, Pizarra, Tolox, and Yunquera. Despite the positive news, not all facilities will be available from day one, the emergency department is set to be operational by October.

Community buildings insurance, are you fully covered?

COMMUNITY BUILDINGS: Make sure you find out what is covered. IF your home or property in Spain forms part of a block of houses, apartments or condominiums, it usually includes community buildings insurance. You automatically pay this each month along with other community fees. Generally this cover is limited to keep premiums to a minimum. Cover includes communal elements such as the buildings, the grounds, lifts, pipes, walkways, padel tennis courts, etc. Unlike insurance policies in the UK, community buildings insurance does not cover fixtures and fittings such as your kitchen or bathroom. TAKE OUT YOUR OWN SEPARATE COVER If an upstairs neighbour goes on holiday and leaves the tap on, resulting in a flood in your home below, the community buildings insurance will not cover the damage. Línea Directa recommends that you take out separate cover for your home. This should protect all the contents of your home, its fixtures and fittings and anything else not covered by the community insurance. YOUR HOME IS AN ASSET Remember, your home is an asset. It represents a lifelong

investment and it’s imperative that you get the right insurance from the beginning. Whether it’s your own residence, you rent it out or if you’re planning to sell it, your home may be at risk if it is not fully covered. Damage occurring from flood, fires or break-ins can be expensive to repair and or replace. Paying a small premium now will protect your investment for the future. FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT YOUR COMMUNITY IS COVERED FOR Most community covers are very basic, so while you are shopping around for the best comprehensive home insurance, you will need gap or first loss cover to ensure you are protected in the meantime. Prior to contracting a new policy, find out exactly what is covered by your community policy. Many people in Spain who live in an apartment discover too late that they are not adequately covered by their urbanisation’s community insurance. We hope the information provided in this article is of interest. If you would like to contact Línea Directa please call 902 123 309. More information on Línea Directa online at www.lineadirecta.com.

CURRENCY TROUBLES: Hoping to attract investment.

Nigeria is to devalue naira AS previously reported, Nigeria, one of Africa’s potentially strongest economies which depends so heavily on oil revenues, has been experiencing significant troubles with obtaining foreign currency. Having blocked credit cards and transfer of funds out of the country, the black market rate between the dollar and naira

has doubled over the last few weeks. Several years ago, a new naira was introduced almost ‘overnight’ which meant a lot of the illegally held, black market and money-laundered currency became worthless. Now the naira is to be devalued in the hope it will attract new foreign investment.

A pretty serious business Revlon known worldwide for its hair colour products has announced it wishes to take over Elizabeth Arden to create a giant company.

Well-known US Company Estée Lauder has announced that it will shed 1,200 jobs and just six months ago Revlon’s major shareholder Ron Perelman declared that he wished to see a

By John Smith DESPITE the fact that reports for several months have indicated that there is plenty of money available to consumers around the world to spend on ‘luxuries’ it has become apparent that the cosmetics world is suffering quite considerably with many of the larger companies finding themselves financially stretched with declining sales and the need to reduce staffing levels.

RON PERELMAN: Here with his daughter, is the major shareholder of Revlon.

sale of the brand but has now had a change of heart and wants his company to grow with this takeover. At one time, it seemed that price was no barrier to the sale of cosmetics and a famous

name such as Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift would ensure that perfume would literally fly off the shelf, but times have changed and consumers are becoming much more price conscious and are not so easily swayed by a fa-

mous name, if they can obtain a similar fragrance at a lesser price. Revlon, known worldwide for its hair colour products has announced that it wishes to take over Elizabeth Arden to create a giant company which can offer both hair treatment and anti-aging creams with a huge offer of $14 (€12.4) per share which values the company at $870 million (€773 million) although more than half of that amount will need to be used to pay off debts. Apart from the advantage of being able to offer a much larger range of product, Revlon estimate that by combining manufacturing and distribution networks with the resultant loss of staff, it can generate combined savings of $140 million (€124 million) as well as expand its exposure across the world market. Any decision to proceed will depend upon approval by shareholders as well as regulatory bodies but it is anticipated that this should not cause any particular problem and the two companies should merge before the end of 2016. Both companies have significant histories with Elizabeth Arden opening her first business in 1910, whilst Revlon was founded as a family business in 1932 but if the takeover does happen then forecast annual turnover for the combined brands will be $3 billion (€2.65 billion).

By John Smith SOFTWARE giant Microsoft has announced that it will form a joint venture with a recently founded company in California called Kind Financial which is intended to give accurate reports to businesses and government agencies on the production and sale of legalised marihuana products in its first ever partnership of this type. With 29 States having either decriminalised the use of marihuana completely or for medical purposes and with Native American reservations starting to make marihuana freely available, there is an incredibly large potential market for software which will track legal marihuana movement from ‘seed to sale.’ Kind has the software and Microsoft runs the government Cloud facility so the pair of companies has identified a natural synergy which will no doubt raise significant income for their businesses. Microsoft told the BBC in an emailed statement that it supported “government customers and partners to help them meet their

missions. “Kind Financial is building solutions on our government Cloud to help these agencies regulate and monitor controlled substances and items, and manage compliance with jurisdictional laws and regulations.” With such a large potential market, it may also be in the mind of State and Federal taxation authori-

ties that once a high quality working system is in place that there will be a significant opportunity to raise funds. Kind’s software, which is called Agrisoft Seed to Sale, ‘closes the loop between marihuana-related businesses, regulatory agencies, and financial institutions,’ a press release said.

Apart from the fact that the movement of legal marihuana will be closely monitored, there is the added bonus as far as the authorities are concerned in that it will be extremely difficult for unscrupulous producers or sellers to divert any significant amount of marihuana to the illegal trade. With the drop in sales of tobacco

product, it seems likely that manufacturers will be keeping a very close eye on the development of legalised sale, particularly as it was reported more than 30 years ago that many of them had registered trade names such as ‘Acapulco Gold’ in anticipation of the full legalisation of the plant and its commercial sale to the public at large.

Everything you ever wanted to know about Spanish and English Wills, including Brexit Charlotte is a solicitor in Stone King’s Trusts and Estates Team and is experienced in a broad range of matters including wills, probate, powers of attorney and related tax matters.

Charlotte Macdonald, specialist cross-border solicitor at Stone King LLP, answers common questions about Spanish wills - including Brexit. When I die, can I ensure my Spanish assets go to my loved ones? Yes, by proper planning, including a properly drafted will which is (critically) the product of professional cross-border advice and not advice from a well-meaning friend. Make no mistake, wills are complex ‘contracts’ and we regularly see heartache caused by badly drafted wills that misunderstand, misinterpret and misapply intricate cross-border succession law. I thought Spanish law dictated who inherited my property? Yes, it does. When you die a proportion automatically passes to fixed beneficiaries, unless you take advantage of EU Regulation 650/2012 (Brussels IV). Under the Regulation, British nationals can ‘elect’ ‘British’ law to apply but be warned, an election can sometimes be disastrous. What about Spanish succession tax? You cannot opt out of Spanish succession tax and be careful - there can be adverse indirect tax consequences from making an election – so take qualified advice. Do I need separate wills for Spain and England? This depends on: your family make-up; the nature, value and location of your assets; how the assets are owned and who you would like to receive them. Since the new Regulation there are compelling reasons for having your English and Spanish wills drafted by a single English cross-border specialist who can advise on the succession and taxation of

your worldwide estate. The reasons include: • UK and Spanish probate processes can be administered simultaneously, saving time and money; • Continuity of planning and advice; • UK solicitors are better qualified to advise on UK succession law than Spanish lawyers; • The UK Solicitor’s Regulation Authority, ensures accountability; • UK solicitor’s hold £2m compulsory insurance; • Drafting in a language you understand; • No compatibility or inadvertent revocation issues. Be guided by your cross-border specialist, because sometimes a single worldwide will is best and sometimes (rarely) a ‘foreign’ will drafted by an overseas lawyer is sensible. Does my will need to be drafted by a Spanish lawyer to be valid? No. Spain signed the 1961 Hague Convention on the mutual recognition of wills, meaning English wills are formally valid in Spain. Does my Spanish will need to be registered in Madrid? No, this is another common misconception. Will Brexit affect my will? No. A Brexit will make no difference to who gets what when you die, because the UK opted out of the Regulation, meaning the UK is already treated as a state outside the EU for succession purposes. The only difference a Brexit would make would be that the UK could not, in future, opt in to the Regulation.

For further information contact the author Charlotte Macdonald, or Daniel (Dan) Harris or Simon Lofthouse in the cross-border unit by email international@stoneking.co.uk or by telephone on + 44 (0) 1225 337599.

Great Britain destined for an eruption of chaos and disaster LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT

IN my opinion the UK is a tinderbox waiting for a flint. I am firmly convinced that some event will occur that will cause the whole, up to now suppressed anger and frustration, to erupt into a conflict that will bring unprecedented, disaster and chaos onto the streets of our once great country. It is of course virtually impossible to predict what will ignite this. It may have already happened with the tragic murder of Jo Cox. It appears her alleged killer was a right-wing fanatic, who disagreed with her views on immigration and so called Islamophobia. Apparently

THE UK: Is a tinderbox waiting for a flint.

she had been exposed to other threats and suspicion of stalkers in recent weeks, so this maniac is most definitely not a one-off. It may be triggered by a close-run vote to stay in the EU. Disgruntled Brexit fanatics could well take to the streets to voice their disapproval. One mad neo-Nazi running amok in a predominantly Muslim area with a Kalashnikov is also, to my mind, an extremely possible scenario that could also spark a confrontation. Bearing in mind that up to now all these types of attacks have been perpetrated by Islamic extremists on the ‘infidels,’ I think this occurrence is probably the most likely of all. Another of Leapy’s ‘dangerous rants,’ I hear the dissenters crying out. Well, be that as it may. I have been accused of ranting on numerous occasions over my 30 years as a colum-

nist and subsequent events have very often silenced the scorners and disbelievers of my alleged scaremongering. Not that I would be in any way presumptuous enough to compare my eloquence or intelligence to that of the great, sadly maligned statesman Enoch Powell, but I do pride myself in having at least one thing in common. I refuse to live with my head stuck firmly in the sand and an aura of misguided optimism floating around my hind quarters. I simply cannot understand why there was such an outcry about the UKIP poster of untold thousands of immigrants crossing European borders. To me a picture paints a thousand words! Keep the faith.

Welsh dragons and dark horses By Matthew Elliott A FEW shaky starts, some entertaining upsets, a fluffed penalty, and mass rioting: despite concerns that the new Jamie Vardy

24 team format might wreak havoc at the bookies, Euro 2016 is shaping up to be a fine tournament with no firm favourites staking out a lead and plenty of underdogs still capable of throwing a spanner in the works. Minnows Northern Ireland were jubilant in defeat having contained Germany to a 1-0 win which, coupled with Turkey’s victory over the

Antonio Candreva

Czech Republic, saw Martin O’Neill’s men glide through to the last 16 with a third place finish. The green and white army clocked up their best international performance since reaching the World Cup quarter-finals in 1958, defeating Czechoslovakia in the process, when they joined other home nations England and Wales in the knockout phases. W i t h Gareth Bale on fire, averaging a goal a game, and backed up by his unheralded countrymen playing their hearts out, Wales charged to

the top of Group B, ahead of England, with a 3-0 demolition of a Russian side overshadowed by the violent antics of their highly trained ultras. Roy Hodgson incurred the wrath of fans and the FA with his controversial team selection against Slovakia, omitting captain Wayne Rooney, but saw his youthful team ensure their progress to the last 16 despite the disappointing 0-0 draw. With tournament hosts France, reigning champions Spain, World Cup winners Germany, and the ever present Italy all combining moments

of fearsome play with glaring weaknesses, the field is wide open and the majority of finalists will fancy their chances of reaching the Stade de France on July 10. While Bale has stolen the limelight from his fellow Real Madrid star, Cristiano Ronaldo nevertheless managed to hog some of the attention with his narcissistic antics, criticising Iceland for their defensive play, looking petulant in training, and somewhat amusingly missing a penalty during his bid to become the first player to score in four consecutive championships. With Greece showing in 2004 that a tight team effort can pull off the unlikeliest of upsets, and Wales proving Dimitri Payet

more than the Gareth Bale show, the knockout phases look set to be determined by grit, heart, style and spirit, with the doubtless appearance of ‘lady luck’ sure to have fans on the edge of their seats. Gareth Bale

Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene

THIS time round Mariano Rajoy took part in the televised debate between the presidential candidates. Rajoy didn’t stray once from his line that his government has created employment and only he has the know-how to steer the country on a steady course. Four years in government after losing the two previous elections undeniably adds up to experience. But despite his immovable faith in himself Rajoy looked elderly and vaguely beaten beside the three young lions who will settle their differences before allowing him another four years in power.

MARIANO RAJOY: Participated in the televised debate.

THE Unidos-Podemos voting alliance sell themselves as social democrats even though the Unidos side of the marriage is Spain’s former communist party. But what’s in a name? The label hardly matters if punters buy the product and as the latest polls show, notwithstanding Iglesias’ personal unpopularity, that’s what they will probably do.

Newspeak WITH the exception of the scrupulously politically correct, the Spanish are tiring of campaigning politicians’ insistence on using the individual niños y niñas instead of a collective niños when referring to children or trabajadores y trabajadoras for workers. Rigorous respect for equality legislation should never be ridiculed in a society

where women endured centuries of discrimination. But the modification is a boon for politicians who never make do with one word where they can use two.

All isn’t forgiven THE Telecino programme ‘Quiero gobernar’ gave young children the chance to talk to Mariano Rajoy. Even the tots wanted to hear his excuses about his party’s links to the country’s biggest corruption cases, to which Rajoy truthfully answered, “Nobody’s perfect.” It’s unfortunate that even for the Spanish, especially those of a certain age, the phrase is indelibly, inextricably linked to the closing line of ‘Some like it hot’ when Jack Lemmon admits to Osgood Fielding III that he isn’t a blonde bombshell. Voters everywhere naively want the politicians they put in power to be perfect. A party inextricably and indelibly linked to corruption can’t expect admitting its faults to lead automatically to forgiveness, let alone a partnership.

Would BREXIT affect your holiday? Christina Sharp GLOBELINK INTERNATIONAL christina@globelink.co.uk.

YOU’RE probably suffering from EU referendum fatigue, but with referendum results tantalisingly close, Globelink just wanted to reassure their customers that whether Britain votes IN or OUT, your Globelink travel insurance policy remains in force and you can travel, or purchase your next policy, in total confidence that you are covered as usual. Some leading travel organisations have been as gloomy about the prospects of Brexit as our June weather. A recent report from the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) predicted possible increased costs facing UK holidaymakers if Brexit leads to a deterioration in sterling value, making foreign currency destinations more expensive. ABTA also flagged an exit vote may mean changes in EU-originating regulations that benefit EU trav-

BREXIT: In deep water or high and dry? ellers. This includes the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) which provides access to local state healthcare throughout the EU for EU residents. But be warned, Referendum aside, the EHIC is no substitute for travel insurance. You won’t be covered for any emergency private medical treat-

ment, repatriation, or additional expenses like a relative staying with you. It’s very common for costs to spiral into thousands if you need hospital admission, or a doctor escort home, so stay travel smart and don’t skimp on decent travel insurance. This will cost you a tiny fraction

of what you might have to fork out if you or a loved one are ill or injured abroad. Globelink provide £1,000,000 of emergency medical and repatriation cover, and at the risk of tempting fate, they have never had a claim exceed that level. Since 1996, Globelink have provided travel insurance to 1,000,000

customers living in the EU, and the company is now well into its 20th anniversary year. Their priority is delivering personal customer service and quality, cost-effective products. Since 2009, 62 per cent of their customers were repeat purchasers and in 2015 this rose to 68 per cent. Globelink would like to thank all of their Spain-based customers for their loyalty; these customers represent a whopping 20 per cent of their client base. Although staff members confess to feeling particularly envious when they receive calls and emails from people telling them how much they are enjoying the sun and perhaps a long, cool drink…especially when Blighty faces its wettest June on record. Globelink Travel Insurance: for people living in Spain and all other EU countries. For an instant quote and to arrange cover securely online visit: www.globelink.co.uk. Your policy and emergency assistance card will be delivered immediately by email. Call +44 1353 699 082 or our Spanish link line 966 265 000.

Referendum is not the place for panto politics

PANTOMIME POLITICS: Oh yes he does! Oh, no he doesn’t!

Nora Johnson

Breaking Views Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

THE problem now is that whatever the result of the referendum, the public have little faith or confidence in any of the leading political figures or institutions, either in the UK or EU. Those politicians and institutions have repeatedly taken advantage of the public’s trust, and what we see now happening all over Europe is the inevitable result: people want change. They’re not even sure what change. They do know, though, they’re being repeatedly taken in and manipulated by those supposed to represent their interests. But what Britain’s own political leaders are guilty of is this: no clear plan for the referendum’s aftermath, in or out. If Britain remains, it’ll doubtless be open to fresh attacks on rebates, migrant quotas, budgets, etc. by the EU. Where’s the plan to deal with that? You can’t instantly implement the infrastructure/services to cope with enough migrants to “populate Newcastle every year” (according to Boris). Constructing power plants, road/rail communications, houses, schools and training doctors takes a decade to cover that demand.

If Britain leaves, it’ll doubtless be subjected by the EU to ‘let’s give it a ******* good kicking’ to deter other EU countries from demanding referendums. Again, where’s the plan? Boris let his side down with his ‘EUHitler’ barb, and Cameron too on the Remain side. Cameron ignored the basic marketing truth that you have to throw in the negatives about your product for people to believe the positives. Instead, he blindly campaigned as if the EU was the Fairy Godmother and Boris the Wicked Witch. Punch and Judy would have been proud. Oh, yes he does! Oh, no he doesn’t! Such pantomime politics have no place here. Basically, Britain doesn’t have the internationally acclaimed leaders to manage the outcome. It still doesn’t fully trust its own financial institutions, so how can a country prosper with little confidence in its leaders or key institutions? The choice in this referendum is like a vegetarian being asked whether he’d prefer a steak or a pork chop. For that Britain has its own politicians to thank.

OPINION & COMMENT

Referendum decision day To suggest we will be unable to hold our own and thrive is insulting.

Colin Bird A weekly look Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-thewall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.

AS this week’s EWN hits the streets, the British people are voting on their long term future. This time tomorrow, we will either still be a member of the EU or an independent sovereign country, making its own way in the world. All the arguments have been exhausted, with very few hard facts emerging from the debate. Scaremongering, personal insults and self interest have dominated the media in recent weeks, with very little attention being paid to the most important issue that this referendum throws up, whether we wish to remain a country ruled by an elite club of appointed overseers or claim back our independence and ability to make our own decisions. I fail to understand why

IN OR OUT?: British people are voting on their long term future. anyone who purports to be a lover of democracy could ever contemplate voting to stay in an organisation where new laws, directives, rules and regulations are drafted by an unelected, and

therefore unaccountable Commission. Economics, economics and economics has been the battle cry of the ‘in’ brigade. Of course the economy of our country is vitally impor-

tant, but to suggest that we will be unable to not only hold our own, but to thrive in a world where we are free to negotiate our own trade agreements is insulting nonsense.

In my view, the reason that there has been so much desperation on the part of the EU to bring us to heel, is because the vested political and economic interests of this undemocratic club realise just how influential our decision today will be, and that an ‘out’ vote could very well mark the end of the EU as we know it and the derailment of the aptly named, gravy train. It is an irony that in the event of a British exit, the EU will have to make sweeping and fundamental changes to the way it does business, in order to survive. Changes that we have been unable to help bring about in 43 years of membership. This is not a ‘Little Englander’ mentality, but a vote to leave ‘Authoritarian Europe.’

I hope that Jo Cox’s killer is mad and not just evil Credit Garry Knight flickr

John Smith Random thoughts... IT’S one thing to throw an egg at John Prescott, it’s another to be so blinded by hatred to shoot and stab your local MP as happened on June 16 to mother of two Jo Cox in her constituency of Batley and Spen in West Yorkshire. I hope that the alleged killer, identified as 52-year-old local man Thomas Mair is diagnosed as a lunatic, because if he isn’t and he did commit this outrageous murder then it doesn’t say a great deal for humanity if he is classed as ‘normal’ or simply ‘evil’. Personally, I’ve never been in favour of the death penalty, Too many people have been cleared of murder, years after the event (and can’t be resurrected), and to some extent it brings society down to the same level as the killer. Having said that however, what’s the point of keeping him imprisoned for the

TOUCHING MEMORIAL: To murdered MP Jo Cox, rest in peace.

rest of his life when there’s little chance of him being released back into society as a useful and welcome member? It’s difficult to know what to think but one thing for sure is that despite the waste of this relatively young woman’s

life, some good must emerge. There’s always an outpouring of sympathy when a tragedy like this occurs but are they just crocodile tears with little good coming out of the bad, hopefully not. This is the first murder of an MP

The European Parliament.

And they think it’s all over BY the time that this edition of Euro Weekly News is published, the die will have been cast in the Brexit referendum and the Spanish General Election will be on its way to being completed. These are perhaps two of the most important ballots to affect expatriates in Spain and to some extent the result of one could well affect the result of the other. Now that we can’t be accused of trying to act as scaremongers or even influence anyone, we at Euro Weekly News hope most sincerely that the vote is in favour of remaining within the European Union. Some very intelligent and committed people want to see Britain leave the EU but their passion, whilst genuine and impressive, simply cannot hide the fact that no-one has any idea what the result would be in the event of an exit. Perhaps it will be the saviour of Britain as some predict or maybe it will be a disaster which will cost us all dear. One way of making money quickly is to take everything you own to a casino and placing it all on black or red and within a matter of just seconds, chance will either see you distraught and bankrupt or delighted and rolling in money depending on a single roll of the ball. The only difference between this and the referendum is that it won’t be so clear cut and it will take a lot longer to be resolved and may have the added distraction of a very worried Gibraltar.

since 1984 when a bomb exploded in the Grand Hotel in Brighton where a number of prominent Tory MPs were staying, killing five people including Sir Anthony Berry MP. For a short period of time, politicians in all parties, all over the world, united in their disgust at what had happened in their praise for a woman who was well liked, even by her opponents, and all expressed sympathy for her husband and their two young children. It makes a pleasant change in such vituperative times that both sides of the Brexit argument called a truce and the Conservative party announced that they would not contest the eventual bi-election in her former constituency. Both David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn buried their differences in order to visit the spot where she died and to leave Now we flowers in her memory. want to Hopefully this won’t be one week hear your views. news but will encourage politicians to act in a less adversarial way YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE and consider the harm their deci- YOUR OPINION sions can unleash on innocent peowww.euroweeklynews.com ple living thousands of miles away.

Keep fighting the good fight MY wife and I, as owners of a property in La Siesta, are extremely grateful for the interest Euro Weekly News has taken with regards to what has been happening over so many years at Calle Bach and Calle Elgar. John Smith listened to what the problem was, and took action so that Gemma Quinn contacted us and saw for herself the rubbish being dumped in our area, and this resulted in a very welcome front page article. In the past we have seen rats and all kind of vermin, chemicals, oil and general dumping which is very bad for the health of children, people and animals. We believe that the articles in EWN will encourage the town hall to recognise their responsibility and to take action to make this a healthy and attractive place again. Please, EWN, follow the situation until our part of La Siesta becomes a nice place where everybody can walk and children can play. Fred de Jong

Candy man ISN’T nostalgia a wonderful thing? I was reading Colin Bird’s article in EWN’s June 15 newspaper remembering what London Airport used to be like. In 1960 I was in the RAF stationed at Hendon in North London. One of my tasks was to go to London Airport to collect compassionate cases which had flown in from all over the world and transport them to one of London’s main line stations. In those days, London Airport consisted of a few Nissen huts located next to the old A4. One day, whilst I was waiting, Sammy Davis Junior came out of arrivals, saw me in uniform and said “Oh! Have you come to get me?” I said “No but I would love your autograph.” Needless to say, he gave it to me. I wonder if any other readers remember LAP with its few Nissen huts? Peter Simpson, Granada

Street wise I HOPE you don’t mind but I thought I would bring this incident to your readers’ attention. My wife and I were walking on Marina Baixa Avenue in Finestrat when a white saloon four-door car pulled up alongside us with two men dressed in civilian clothing. One of them then showed us his police ID card with his photograph on it and then asked to see our passports. I said I didn’t carry them

Rants and rambles I HAVE been residing in Murcia for almost a year and one of the highlights of my week is to collect my copy of the Euro Weekly on Thursdays and enjoy breakfast reading your excellent coverage of what’s going on locally and internationally. I also enjoy the many and varied contributions from all your columnists barring one. His name appears to be Leapy Lee. His strap line is ‘others think it, Leapy Lee says it,’ but I would be very interested in hearing how many other readers agree with my observations. I could mention other articles that he has written which I find totally abhorrent but will concentrate on last week’s. In his piece he asks why Gordon Brown is telling us what to do on Sky News. This was wholly incorrect as I watched the piece on television and it was a nicely put together piece of history, which was in steep contrast to some of the threatening rhetoric that has been apparent in most ‘leave’ and ‘remain’ lives thus far. Not content with calling our ex-prime minister egotistical and disillusioned, he then turns his vitriol to Eddie Izzard who he describes as a pathetic idiot. What justifies his remarks against Eddie Izzard I have no idea! Is it because he is openly a cross-dresser or is it that he has run 27 marathons in 27 days raising in excess of £1,000,000 (€1,298,289) for charity? I enjoy other contributions in your newspaper because, although controversial, they are presented with intelligence, which, for me, ‘Leapy’ fails to achieve. Malcolm Le Gassick, Murcia

with us and he then asked us what hotel we were staying at, assuming us to be tourists, so he would take us to get our passports from our room to check our ID. I informed them that we lived here and, smelling a rat, asked him, after telling my wife to get a pen and notebook from her bag, could I see his ID again? He said why? So I replied that I would like to make a note of his police number to check all was well. That comment freaked them out and the car took off like an episode of Starsky and Hutch (giving my age away there) not to be seen for dust, however, I did manage to get the registration number. I have reported all this to the police for which they were very appreciative

governing party capable of kicking some doors down I might find some common ground with Ian but we do not have that person or party! The EU ideal of a free market and political harmony was and is a good idea, but sadly it’s a bit like the old saying ‘communism is a great idea, the only problem with it is the communists.’ My point is the EU is no longer the pure ideal it once was, it is now a politically driven entity by career politicians who earn vast sums of money. A certain Labour leader who lost his chance at being the PM was sent to Brussels as a euro commissioner. It was reported that almost €500,000 per year was the remuneration package. Please do not tell me that this level of income does not ‘corrupt’ a politician’s political ideals when carrying out his duties ‘for us,’ his electorate! Robert Caley

Stay neutral HELLO all. I, a Sherwood Ranger, and comrades were presented to our Colonel in Chief the Queen Mother.

German visitor in port

Runway tunnel completion

THERE was a demonstration outside the British Embassy in Madrid on June 21 by members of the Vox party demanding the release of Minguez Martinez, arrested as part of the team that unfurled the Spanish flag on the Rock, who has been remanded in custody until Tuesday June 28 after pleading guilty to a charge of conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace.

GERMAN cruise ship MS Europa 2 made its inaugural call to the port of Gibraltar on Friday June 17. The vessel belongs to German firm Hapag-Lloyd Cruises. It is 42,830 tonnes, 225 metres in length and has capacity for 516 passengers and a crew of 370. The MS Europa 2 has been awarded the coveted distinction of 5-stars-plus by the Berlitz Cruise Guide 2016.

GOVERNMENT has announced it has successfully negotiated a settlement with Obrascon Huarte Lain SA (OHL) to complete the runway tunnel. Not only will this settlement avoid further delays by requiring the contractor to complete the tunnel by November 30, 2018, it will do so at a price close to the original 2008 budget. Any delays will incur financial penalties.

NO FEAR: Gibraltar politicians with Governor Davis.

Windsor Bridge officially opened by Chief Minister By John Smith GIBRALTAR’S latest tourist attraction, the Windsor Bridge on the Upper Rock is a 71-metre long suspension bridge at Royal Anglian Way. Opened officially by the Chief Minister in the company of other Gibraltar Government Ministers and the Governor Ed Davis, none of the VIP guests showed any fear of heights as they strode across this special feat of engineering. Constructed as it is over a 50-metre gorge the work was undertaken by local firm Bovis Koala in conjunction with the Spanish contractor I Muntanya which has undertaken the production of similar projects in the Pyrenees.

GIVING SUPPORT: David Cameron with Mariano Rajoy.

David Cameron video By John Smith DUE to the murder of Jo Cox, it was decided that all Brexit campaigning would be cancelled until Sunday June 19 which meant that the historic visit of David Cameron to Gibraltar proceeded without the promised Brexit rally, much to the disappointment of

the local electorate although the reason was fully understood. In a gesture of solidarity with the people of Gibraltar, the Prime Minister recorded a special message which was broadcast on GBC on the evening of June 21 in which he told Gibraltarians that in his opinion, that they would be stronger, safer and bet-

ter off if Britain remains within the European Union. Whi l st pr ai si ng t he peopl e of Gi br al t ar f or al l t hat t hey have achieved, he also gave an undertaking that his government would support the Territory against any new political aggression from neighbour Spain.

4th Gibunco Literary Festival THE well-known author Louis de Bernieres who wrote ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin’ is probably the most high profile of the guests announced for the

fourth Gibunco Literary Festival which runs from October 20 to 23. There will also be addresses from former First Se a Lord of the R oy al

Navy, Admiral Alan West as well as food critic and director Jonathan Meade who will discuss his new cookbook ‘The Plagiarist in the Kitchen,’ historian

Dr Matthias Strohn who will launch his new book ‘The Royal Gibraltar Regiment 1939-2014,’ Boyd Tonkin and Dr Sally Bayley.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You are very much in two minds about how to deal with a personal situation. Ask yourself which approach will help and which will do nothing to help at all. Although you want to shout at someone and feel negative at times, hold fire. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Getting a romantic situation wrong could cause a humourous moment this weekend. I am not telling you this so you can avoid it. You could do with a good laugh right now. Planning ahead is your preferred method but sometimes it is the last-minute decision that brings the best results. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) The thing that you have to tackle this week is uppermost in your mind, but don't dwell on it. Write it down and what you intend doing about it, then put it away. Relax and get on with other things. When you do come to take it out again and face the situation it will be so much easier.

CANCER

(June 22 - July 23)

A business colleague may be less than honest with you. When it is a small matter you are used to them bending the truth. This is not, however, something that you will want to let go by, so stay on your toes. On the home front, you tend to be snappy with loved ones because you are feeling stressed.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Imposing restrictions on someone else also imposes restrictions on you. Why? Well, you have to hang around and see that your wishes are followed and take further action if they are not.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) As someone is not showing the required amount of interest in your activities, you need a plan. Telephoning them and pointing out what you have achieved is one way, but it's not cool. Getting a few people together and using someone else to blow your trumpet for you is better. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Having been dashing about like a mad thing, you find this week a refreshing change. Only when you slow down do you realise how much you have been doing and just how tired you have become. There are some social engagements that you would not miss for the world, however.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Avoid getting involved in other people’s arguments. There is no way that you can come out a winner if you do. Taking a step backwards is sometimes the best thing. You have been down this path before, and did your intervention do any good?

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) By using your intuition midweek, you will be able to solve a small problem at the weekend. Thinking ahead sometimes seems a waste of time to you because circumstances have a way of changing, but it makes sense to put in a bit of extra effort if you are able to avoid aggravation.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) The need to be popular midweek could see you veer off track on a business matter. You have been warned and will be able to avoid it if you wish. Do not underestimate how much hassle a wrong move could cause you. On the domestic front, you are able to fully relax and enjoy good company.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) A mistake seems a small thing until someone notices it. Although you feel that they are making a mountain out of a molehill, it still leaves a nasty feeling. Get out and do something completely different at the weekend. Not only will it blow the cobwebs away, but it will also put in perspective any negative thoughts.

TOP 10 Abba pop masterpieces

A TRAGIC story that follows Okonkwo, a ‘strong man’ of an Ibo village in Nigeria, and his rise to, and subsequent fall from, his position as an important and respected tribe member to an exile. Upon his return, he finds the Obi tribe radically changed due to the encounters with the White man and their weapon of choice: the Bible. A groundbreaking novel set at the peak of the scramble for African territories by European powers.

2) Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (a man after midnight) Madonna sampled the hook a few years back to memorable effect, but she didn’t have a patch on this slice of shimmering disco perfection. Hungry, frantic lyrics sit side by side with pulsating synths and otherworldly harmonies as the song barrels its way towards a rollicking conclusion. 3) The Day Before you came One of the band’s lesser known singles, from the tail end of their career, this unusual, off-kilter tune didn’t take with audiences, but provided ample evidence of the foursome’s musical evolution and newfound adventurousness. The ambiguity of the lyrics coupled with the song’s unconventional structure give the whole affair a haunting, almost ominous sound, perhaps heralding the band’s dissolution shortly thereafter. 4) Waterloo The one that started it all. With this bouncy, clever ode to Napoleon and his historical defeat, the band staked their claim to the pop music world by con-

Play on Words ABBA: The world fell in love with them. quering first the Eurovision Song Contest, and then the whole planet. Still one of their best tunes, which presents a very convincing argument that love is, indeed, a battlefield. 5) The Winner Takes It All The ultimate break-up song. The matter-of-fact honesty of the opening lyrics, with Agnetha calmly stating that “I don’t wanna talk/about things we’ve gone through” is outdone only by the note that she draws out seemingly forever as the song rounds the final bend. 6) Dancing Queen Instantly recognisable from the very first note, this pop masterpiece was one of ABBA’s biggest hits, and remains one of the most successful songs of all time. Guaranteed to get even the most crotchety old wallflower up and shaking their booty along to the beat. 7) Mamma Mia Now the title of the hugely successful musical inspired by the group’s huge catalogue of tunes, this song is also a treasure in its own right. As usual, playful verses lead up to a gorgeous, insanely ear-wormy chorus that combines deft wordplay with heartfelt emotion.

8) Super Trouper As with so many of their songs, this one is equal parts joyous and melancholic. The lyrics quite clearly draw on the band’s own personal experiences, documenting the highs and lows of a life on the road, performing for a different audience in a different city every night. 9) Head over Heels Another lesser known song from their later career, this song’s lyrics seem to be ahead of their time, as they document the many trials and tribulations of a modern career woman on the go, who finds herself ‘pushing through unknown jungles every day’ and whose man ‘is so courageous but he’s constantly tired.’ 10) Take a Chance on Me A frustrating situation that many can relate to, with the narrator reminding the object of her affection that “when the pretty birds have flown,” she’ll still be around. More importantly, it’s outrageously catchy, with the harmonies of the two girls mashed right up against equally irresistible harmonies from the two gents, and a near-spoken word section just before the bridge further heightening the song’s eminent relatability.

Go for a walk to lengthen your life JUST a brief, brisk walk, can add years to your life. Experts say 15 minutes of daily exercise is enough for older adults to see big benefits to their health with this activity being linked to a 22 per cent lower risk of an early death. Researchers carried out a study on two groups of people to see if lower levels of exercise could be as beneficial as the recommended 150 minutes each week. One group of 1,011 French people aged 65 in 2001, were followed over a period of 12 years while the second, an international group, of 122,417 people aged 60, was followed over 10 years. Participants’ activity was measured in Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) minutes each week, assessing the amount of calories used per minute of physical activity. The recommended levels of exercise equate to between 500 and 1,000 MET minutes every week. Researchers found the risk of death fell as the level of exercise increased and com-

The challenge of global obesity THE Global Nutrition Report for 2016 has reported that every country is facing a ‘serious public health challenge’ from malnutrition. The study of 129 countries found one in three people suffer from malnutrition in some form. Malnutrition can take various forms from child stunting and wasting due to starvation or from being overweight and if a person is lacking in nutrients like iron, folic acid and vitamins, they are classed as malnourished. Although normally associated with people eating enough, hundreds of millions of people are now classed as malnourished due to being overweight with too much sugar, salt or cholesterol in their blood. Progress is being made in terms of children starving but there is now soaring obesity levels.

Educate parents GET WALKING: Just 15 minutes can be beneficial. pared to those people who were inactive, older adults with low, medium and high activity levels had a 22 per cent, 28 and 35 per

cent lower risk of death, respectively, showing that even small amounts of exercise can boost life expectancy and improve health.

A TOP health expert has said the UK Government should teach parents to prevent anorexia and obesity in children. The outgoing president of the Faculty of Public Health believes today’s children are being neglected by schools and bad parents and warned more needed to be done to prevent future generations being crippled by conditions like obesity. Earlier this year, Prime Minister David Cameron announced he also believed parents should take classes on how to bring up their children and the classes should be accessible to all families, not just to those at greatest risk.

Ask The Doctor

Memory loss

The big picture, more than just an MRI scan By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. This week a concerned husband has written to ask the doctor about his wife’s memory loss: DEAR doctor, For a few months now I’ve been worried about my wife. She seems to have become very forgetful and, although I know as we age our memories can suffer a bit, I think this could be something more serious. She’s 70 years old and in good physical health, but she has been forgetting things a lot recently. She doesn’t remember to go to her hairdresser’s after booking appointments, she loses things or puts them away in the wrong place then says I’ve hidden them, she forgets words when we’re talking and the other day she even got lost on the way to see our daughter, a trip she has made hundreds of times. When I try and suggest she sees a doctor to discuss these things she gets angry and says it’s just because she’s getting older but I’m not sure. What do you think? Will this get worse over time, or is there anything we can do to stop that happening? Should I force her to see a doctor even if she gets cross with me?

The doctor replied: Cognitive impairment is quite a common health problem as people get older. Occasional forgetfulness, memory loss and confusion which don’t affect basic daily activities don’t tend to point to anything more significant. In your wife’s case these incidents seem to be moderate as they are beginning to affect her normal life and they might gradually worsen over the next few years. In my opinion, she should be seen for evaluation by a specialist, who should order tests including a scan and blood tests and will probably prescribe a treatment to include medicine and therapy to improve memory and other cognitive functions. In many cases, the impairment is due to causes which are reversible with correct treatment, and if this is not the case and it is caused by a degenerative condition such as Alzheimer’s, treatment will still slow the process down. The only way to tell and treat the problem is to see a specialist for correct diagnosis through tests.

A priceless service at an affordable price.

TECHNOLOGY is a wonderful thing. The investigations that we can do now to find out what is really going on inside the body are amazing. But are we too reliant on them? If you have a pain in a joint or your spine getting the right image can help get an accurate diagnosis. BUT medical professionals must be careful not to rely on them exclusively, as they only tell a small part of the story. The big picture If you come in with pain in your right knee and all I do is look at an MRI of your right knee and see some joint damage. So we treat your right knee, perhaps even operate. And the pain doesn’t go away. What have I missed? By not examining the rest of you connected to your knee perhaps I missed the previous Achilles Tendon problem in your left foot, causing you to limp and put more weight on your right knee. Perhaps I missed the right hip pain that’s making you limp and causing your right knee to take the strain. It is critical to review the entire body. You can get the best picture in the world of one small part but miss something that wasn’t in the spotlight. Nothing there And then you have the other

side of the coin. Patients who come in with long term, chronic pain who have been told there’s “nothing on the scan.” They are therefore dismissed as “imagining it.” Strangely, that doesn’t make their pain any less real or painful. Scary pictures If you take people without pain and put them through an

MRI you get some surprising results: 70 per cent of people in their 20’s had disc bulges in their neck but 0 per cent had pain. A recent study looked at patients with ‘massive’ disc herniation (slipped disc). They didn’t operate. And guess what? The patients still got better. Of those who did choose surgery, 8% needed further, more complicated op-

erations and all had further complications. Treat the patient, NOT the MRI scan. For more information on getting a detailed clinical assessment please check out our blog, www.TheBody worksClinic.com/blog, our Facebook page, Bodyworks Health Clinic or call us on 952 883 151.

Tips for a stress-free summer SUMMER may not be a stress-free idyll for everyone. Whilst many come to Spain for a relaxed way of life, for others it’s become a fastpaced lifestyle and a strugglinto find the right balance between work, rest and play and there can be no harder time to find the balance between work and enjoying the regular fiestas than in the summer. Extra pressure on our bodies can affect adrenal glands and lead to adrenal fatigue causing everything from weight gain to insomnia and mood swings. With life becoming ever more stressful, here’s some simple steps you can take to strike a balance: • Breathe correctly: A simple thing that many people don’t think about. Stress often changes the way we breathe and how deeply and effectively we breathe can impact muscles and overall health. If you don’t breathe correctly it can lead to neck ache and ten-

THERAPEUTIC PRACTICE: Yoga or meditation helps to calm your body. sion headaches so be aware of your breathing. • Try pink salt: Too much salt can be harmful but a small amount is necessary to maintain water balance. Try Himalayan pink salt as it contains small amounts of other valuable minerals which can help support adrenal function and bone strength. • Calm start: Hitting the

snooze button in the morning and falling back to sleep can deny the body of the time it needs to wake up, therefore causeing confusion in the stress hormone. Instead of snoozing for 20 minutes, try getting up and spending that time doing something for yourself e.g. practising yoga or meditating to calm you and prepare for the day ahead.

• Go for green tea: When tired or drained we reach for coffee for an energy boost but high doses of caffeine and other stimulants found in coffee can cause the body to make more stress hormones. Opt for green tea instead, it has a natural substance Ltheanine that has a relaxing effect on the mind, reducing anxiety, helping you focus.

One Foxy Lady on the Costa when she was nine and has been back and forth between the two countries ever since. Ultimately though, she comes down firmly on the Spanish side of the spectrum.

By Sam Croft EWN’S Sam Croft recently had a chance to chat over a coffee with Britain’s leading lady of female impersonation, Terri Fox, as they tackled everything from fake fur (forget about it) to costume changes (a must) to political correctness (forget all about it). Witty and articulate, Fox is approachable yet effortlessly commands respect as she tosses off anecdotes about everyone from Dusty Springfield to Raquel Welch and gleefully reminisces about the time she got fired from Corrie. “They didn’t know what I did back then,” she laughs. “Then one night it was all over the front page of the paper: Drag Queen legs it down the street.” Boasting a career that spans over 35 years, Fox has performed in the London’s West End, as well as in the United States, where she lived for five-and-a-half years in Florida. She has also done her time in Benidorm, but has spent the lion’s share of the last 15 years with her stiletto heels firmly planted in the Costa del Sol, where she says she feels even more at home than she does in Britain.

Charity stage show THEATRE company Enteatrados are currently in rehearsals for an adapted version of ‘Les Miserables’ in La Cala de Mijas, from which all proceeds will go to the Caleñas Women’s Association, with the money to be used for anti-homophobia and transphobia initiatives. Entry to either performance, which will take place on July 1 and July 3, costs €5, with around a dozen actors set to feature. Equality councillor Mari Carmen Carmona said: “The proceeds from these events will be used for initiatives fighting against a serious social problem that has claimed 50 lives in recent days, making it important that we focus on social awareness.

I’d love to have my own radio show, where I could play whatever I liked, but nothing would be from after 1979.”

TERRI FOX: Performed in the West End. In fact, Fox says that she feels just as Spanish as she does British: a revelation that isn’t altogether surprising considering she moved to Mallorca with her family

“People in the UK are just miserable all the time,” she observes, although she is quick to acknowledge that with the sunny Spanish weather, it’s hard not to feel chipper. “Life in the UK is hard,” she concedes. She acknowledges that her chosen homeland isn’t without its flaws either, and points to the dearth of entertainment options available in the Costa del Sol, comparing it unfavourably to Benidorm in this regard. A big part of the problem, she explains, is there are very few bars which are licensed to host entertainment events, and securing a new licence is virtually impossible. In fact, due to the greater amount of op-

portunities in the UK, Fox still spends a good chunk of her time there, where she lives her life on the road, travelling far and wide as she brings her unique style of humour and irreverence all across the country. Always hungry for new opportunities, she only recently fulfilled a lifelong dream of performing in a panto, Dick Whittington, where she played the Pantomime Dame. And what does the future hold in store for someone who has appeared on virtually every British soap, drops Bob Mackie clothing off at Primark, and was once the highest paid entertainer in all of the Costa del Sol? “I’d love to have my own radio show,” she said. “Where I could play whatever I liked. Although there would be nothing from after 1979!” Considering all that she’s managed to pull off so far, don’t be surprised if you see FOX FM making its way to a radio station near you any day now. You can see Terri Fox this week on Thursday (June 23) and Saturday (June 25) at 10pm at Linda’s Bar in Fuengirola, or on Sunday (June 26) at 10pm at the Malt House in Benalmadena.

Celebrating 175 years of Independence from Mijas By John Smith AS part of the excitement concerning the 175th Anniversary of Independence of Fuengirola from Mijas, the council has arranged a number of concerts to take place in the historic Sohail Castle which was built in the 10th century by Abd-ar-Rahman III and on Saturday June 11, legendary Malaga band Chambao performed a two-hour set to a sold out crowd. The singer, known worldwide as just La Mari came on stage and said that this was her first time back in the castle for 10 years and at that time she performed without hair as she was in the process of recovery from life threatening breast cancer. All through the performance, the singer who bases her music on traditional flamenco phrasing but with influences from a huge number of different genres spoke about her love of the area, her battle with cancer and her songs themselves reflected her own personal beliefs with regards to both her situation and the world in general. With a completely new seven-piece

CHAMBAO: In concert at Sohail Castle. band which includes two drummers, two guitarists, a Cuban horn section and a bass player from different parts of Latin America and Spain, she incorporates jazz, funk, rock, reggae and African influences into her music and whilst many of the songs were new and a major move away from the Flamenco Chill she was first recognised for, the audience simply adored her.

How many singers would have the strength of mind and belief in their own self to dedicate a song to the greatest love of her life recalling how worried she was that he would see her naked and without her breast and how moved she was when he told her she was beautiful however she looked? In her song Papeles Mojades written many years ago she laments over the

still relevant situation of people without identification papers trying to find a better life but ending up with nothing as the sea mourns for them. If you understand Spanish, then some of the songs can make you quite uneasy, but if you don’t, then it is fine to just listen to the quality of a tight band of musicians playing beautiful music with the haunting voice of a Spanish songstress intertwining throughout. At the end of the concert, La Mari said that she had been very upset and crying before coming onstage in case she had trouble remembering some of the many new songs and that there might be a small audience but as soon as she heard the roar of welcome of her home crowd she knew that all would be well. She then apologised for the fact that the cost of entry was €22 as there was the added cost of petrol and a beer and tapas in what are still difficult times, but with a large band they had to cover costs. A memorable evening from a very humble but gifted person.

Let me decide Mike Senker

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I LIKE choice, freedom of choice really. But I’m finding it harder and harder to have that freedom. I’ve had to change passwords two or three times lately because someone decided that it wasn’t ‘strong’ enough. It wasn’t for my bank account or anything that I considered needed one of my super-duper secret passwords. The thing is it should be my choice. If someone can hack the CIA, FBI or Sony it doesn’t matter what my password is, if someone really wants to check my air miles they will find a way. I also don’t want to have to go through Facebook to find out about some product I may be interested in. I have a couple of apartments that I rent out for short lets to holidaymakers and I’ve been doing it for 12 years and never had a problem. I’m now being told that they have to be registered. This is no problem as the income has always been declared but some of the other stuff is nuts. We have to have air conditioning or be fined. Why? We advertise and inform there’s no air conditioning so whoever books makes a choice, air con or not.

But there are now laws in place that are so ridiculous they are almost un-policeable. You now have to register every person that stays with the police. It is reckoned there are about 80,000 apartments being rented. That’s a lot of people being registered and a lot of extra work for the police. People have to have a choice. If they want to stay in a hotel in one room that’s up to them. If they want an apartment and to self-cater that should be up to them and if they want to stay in an apartment that doesn’t have air con that’s up to them too. These new rules have been brought in, as far as I understand, because of lobbying by the hotels. So, does every hotel room now have to have air con? Because I know for a fact that they don’t. It seems the whole world now knows what I want and what’s best for me and actually they don’t. I don’t want to have to give my email address, age and sex just to get past the first page of a shopping site and if I do decide to look on Amazon I don’t want them emailing me three or four times to ask if I’m still interested. My choice was not to buy thank you Mr Amazon. I feel like I’m being chased around the shop by a sales person. IT’S MY CHOICE, GO AWAY! I heard some bad news this week.

Norwegian technology from Neater Heater makes the Spanish winter bearable FOR most expatriates, staying warm in winter presents a challenging problem. After all, it is only for a few months, so a complete central heating system seems a bit excessive. Gas ‘estufas’ are effective, but unhealthy, ugly, and cumbersome. Log burners and pellet burners are great for the general living area, but you wouldn’t want one in every room, even if you could afford it, or had the space. Generally, what’s left is electric heaters, and there’s a bewildering choice around, ranging from cheap ugly ones that cost a fortune to run, to space-age designs that profess to be economical, but cost the price of a secondhand car. Tony and Richard of Neater Heater faced this problem several years ago and discovered that those clever Norwegians held the key by

NEATER HEATER DISTRiBUTOR: COSTA DEL SOL MIJAS COSTA: Malaga Relocations. Mob 664 050 868 Heaters also available for purchase at our online shop with free home delivery WWW.NEATERHEATER.ES OR Tel. 634 312 171

BASIC DESIGN: Simple but effective, efficient and economical. keeping the basic design of their convector heaters simple, but effective, while using modern technology

and materials to make them efficient and economical to run. The difference between a Neater Heater compared to most electric heaters is that most electric heaters use their energy to get the heater hot, whereas the Neater Heater focuses on getting the air in your room warm. As Tony explains “A lot of electric heaters have relatively small surface areas.

The element has to get incredibly hot to heat the casing, then it warms the air it contacts, which isn’t much as it has a small surface contact area. However, the Neater Heater has an aluminium element (a very efficient conductor of heat) designed to have a huge surface area. When you turn it on, the air inside the hollow heater warms up very quickly as the element gets hot and this then rises out of the top and cold air is drawn in to replace it. This air is then heat-

ed and a convection cycle is started. Within 15-20 minutes your room should be warm, and the thermostat will start controlling the operation of the heater, reducing your consumption.” “All this information, and more, is on our website” Richard informs us, “You can find out about the size of heater you need, decide which one would suit your budget and decor best, and whether to buy directly from our online shop, or whether to visit one of our agents.” Neater Heaters are not only efficient, effective, and economical, but as you would expect from a Scandinavian product, they are extremely stylish and practical. There’s also a model to suit anyone, whether it’s the standard Adax Heater, the stylish Beha Heater, or the trendy Neo with digital controls, Neater Heaters are a great solution to making Spanish winters bearable.

Accomplishing a low cost newer feel for older homes MOST of us find at some time that we’re bored or tired of looking at the same old home every day and yearn for a total refurbishment. However, if your budget isn’t much, there are two cheaper options that can give your home a facelift and make it feel brand new. Time to paint: Although using the same, or

similar, colours all the way through the house may sound boring, it gives uniformity which will be far more impressive to the eye than a collection of rooms decorated in different styles. Repaint walls and ceilings all the way through using shades from one colour palette. If you find one colour you really like, buying a large quantity is

also likely to work out cheaper! Adore your doors: Another way to transform your home is with new doors. Older properties may have had individual doors replaced along the way, leaving a mismatched group. Today there are many different options out there: sliding doors can save space and change the look of rooms they

divide, while glazed or partially glazed doors will allow daylight to flow and cheer up dark areas. Pricewise there are all sorts on the market, from the cheap and cheerful to the exorbitant. If your budget is small, you can make the cheapest of doors look far smarter through careful choice of handles and hinges.

DIY vertical gardens VERTICAL gardens have become very fashionable over recent years and are allowing everyone, no matter where they live, a chance to produce their own scents and colours, herbs and even vegetables while hiding any ugly vertical walls. Although there are very high tech projects out there likely to cost an arm and a leg, you can actually make your very own vertical garden in the smallest of spaces (even a tiny balcony) on a low budget and even by recycling! One idea for those who need an orderly, uniform look is to buy strips of plastic guttering, which can be fixed to the wall at any height you like. Another great idea is those hanging shoe/accessory racks often found in the shops. You can either choose one with plastic-lined pockets or line them yourself and plant directly inside, or you can pop suitable sized plant pots, cut off plastic bottles or even old tin cans in and plant inside those.

Garden handover guidance Dick Handscombe

Gardening Corner By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.

A CHANGE of gardeners often results in a lack of continuity in the development and maintenance of a carefully nurtured garden. To avoid this try to ensure the outgoing and incoming gardeners meet on site in your garden for a handover. The following check list is useful for an effective changeover. 1. The extent to which the owner likes to be involved or whether they leave the gardener to do what they think is best. 2. The most important owners likes and dislikes in respect of the garden. 3. The current agreed programme for development/improvement e.g. new terraces, flower beds, rockeries. 4. Any urgent jobs planned for the next months. 5. Recently planted plants and their needs until established. 6. Provisional planting plans for the next autumn/winter including cuttings required for propagation. 7. The regular programme of water-

GARDEN MAINTENANCE: Is there a regular handy man as well as a gardener? ing and feeding plants, trees and lawns. 8. The normal schedule of weeding, hoeing and weedkilling (if allowed), areas normally killed and with what. 9. The normal frequency and height for cutting the lawn. 10. The range of machinery (mower,

strimmer, shredder, etc.) and tools available and servicing arrangements. 11. How the watering system works, normal seasonal settings, who to contact for problems with electronic controls on a complex system and the owner’s attitude to watering costs.

12. The normal programme for the winter clean up in January/February. 13. Facilities for disposal of garden waste e.g. compost heap, etc. 14. The owner’s policy re: organic/ecological versus inorganic manufactured fertilizers, insecticides

and herbicides. 15. Programme for pruning, watering and feeding fruit trees. 16. If there are any vegetables planted that the gardener will be expected to look after. 17. Location and types of spring and summer bulbs to ensure they are not disturbed or damaged. 18. Owner’s desire, fancy, for displays of annuals in containers or beds. 19. Owner’s budget for new plants and agreed re: plantings. 20. Ownership of hedges and policy re: height and depth of hedges. 21. Owner’s pet plants and names. 22. Areas of terraces and paths regarded as gardener’s territory for sweeping up. 23. Is the garden eco or are chemicals still permitted? 24. Where tools and chemicals can be stored securely. 25. Who’s responsible for repair of steps, paths, terraces, walls, repainting of terrace walls, garden furniture, etc. Is there a regular handy man as well as a gardener? Best of luck if you are involved. © Dick Handscombe June 2016.

Natural instincts

Jack really doesn’t like loud noises!

David THE Dogman Listen to David on TRE every Saturday 10am to 11am Costa del Sol (Gibraltar/Sotogrande) 98.7fm (San Roque to Calahonda) 91.9fm (Calahonda to Motril) 88.9, Costa Calida 92.7fm Costa Blanca (Torrevieja to Elche) 105.1fm (Elche to Calpe) 88.2fm, (Calpe to Gandia & Ibiza) 104.6fm, (Denia to Valencia) 95.3fm Mallorca 103.9fm

TRAINING of dogs does not give the end product. A dog’s natural instinct plays a vital role. Man first domesticated the dog because he had so many useful instincts. When we think that man has used the dog for many thousands of years for his own benefit, it’s very difficult to understand why so few people can differentiate between instinct and intelligence. Instinct is an urge from within which makes a dog act in a certain way and has no connection with intelligence. A dog’s first instinct is to survive. When born a pup squirms about until it finds a teat and then sucks, no intelligence or learning by association plays a part in this process. Maternal instinct tells the female to

JACK: Is fit, fast and afraid of loud noises. 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)1865 521508.

BASIC INSTINCT: Dogs, like humans, are born with natural instincts that are not taught. clean up the foetal membrane, etc. and stir the puppy into action by licking it. This is not taught, she hasn’t seen another female do this. Most instincts provide pleasure and because it associates the action with pleasure the instinct grows stronger with usage. In my opinion instinct is either there or it’s not and it can be strengthened, weakened, or diverted. It might lie dormant but once developed it can never be weakened again.

A dog’s obsession for chasing balls can be controlled by training and providing other energy outlets in the same way. If a young dog is diverted the first time he chases a car he may give up the idea, but if allowed to chase cars the hunting instinct becomes stronger and it will be very difficult, even impossible to cure the habit. Instinct covers survival, maternal, hunting, guarding, pack, and self-preservation. Self-preservation makes dogs furtive and afraid of the

unfamiliar. In my opinion, nervousness in dogs is one of the common causes of problems in dogs today. Nearly all cases where children have been attacked by dogs and owners bitten by their own dog arise from nervousness, it’s afraid it’s going to be hurt and attacks first. The self-preservation instinct has been weakened by simply breeding from bold dogs rather than nervous ones but has never been entirely removed.

NICOLA and her husband Ray have moved countries several times for Ray’s job as a project director in construction. They’ve lived in the UK, Sweden, Switzerland with Jack travelling with them and now they’re set to stay in Spain for a couple of years. While moving with the family doesn’t seem to bother Jack, he has become increasingly nervous about loud noises. Settling him into a new home and new neighbourhood takes a little while. Each time he finds a safe place where he decamps when noises get a little loud, city living is tough. Now they live in the campo he seems happier, but still keeps a safe place just in case.

Nicola and Ray prefer for him to be cared for at home when they travel and insist the sitter joins them for a day or two before they leave so that Jack can meet them and relax into their company. It also helps them keep their home safe while they are away, empty properties can be such a draw to thieves and opportunists these days. House-sitting can be a winwin for both parties, free house and pet-sitting and the experienced and checked sitters get free accommodation!

Budgies make great buddies THOSE looking to keep birds could do far worse than checking out budgies, arguably the world’s most domesticated bird and well-suited to the Spanish heat, being native to Australia. It’s easy to think that caged

birds don’t have enough space, and sometimes this may be the case but remember that by nature small birds do tend to like enclosed spaces to call home. Provided they have regular, ideally daily, flying time

outside the cage, a relatively confined space actually makes budgies feel secure, but also do well in larger cages and outdoor aviaries. Either way, the cage should have some horizontal bars in it to allow climbing,

meaning many round designs are unsuitable, while bars should be no wider than 12mm apart to prevent escape. Toys, swings, ladders, seed sticks and mineral supplements, such as cuttlefish, will all help to keep your bird busy and alleviate boredom, while covering the cage with a cloth at night will encourage your budgie to settle down to sleep. You should provide a bath for your bird, either fixed to the outside of the cage or a shallow bowl placed inside the cage, although some may prefer to be sprayed with tepid water instead.

Asking the front wheels of a car to do their normal job of steering while handling more than 170 hp is like asking a man to wire a plug while juggling... penguins ... while making love ... to a beautiful woman while on fire, on stage ... in front of the Queen. It’s all going to go wrong. Some might say...

A mid-life makeover By Matt Ford THE Maserati Quattroporte sports limousine has been given a facelift for 2016 which is now on sale, featuring an updated exterior, new features to boost efficiency, and the latest in-car technology. Outside, the new car boasts subtly restyled bumpers, a new angular front grille with vertical chrome slats, and a matte black body trim, offering a more refined look. A new infotainment system comprising an 8.4 inch touchscreen controlled by a rotary knob mounted on the centre console means less buttons on the dashboard, meaning the cabin is cleaner and less cluttered.

Maserati say that the new variant is both more potent and fuel efficient compared with the outgoing model, with a choice of turbocharged diesel and petrol V6s or a turbocharged petrol V8 offering improved straight-line performance. Aerodynamic efficiency is 10 per cent better, thanks to a new electric air shutter which opens and closes parts of the front grille, plus a power upgrade for the base 3.0-litre petrol V6, which now provides 345bhp and an improved 0-62mph time of 5.5 seconds.

RESTYLED: The 2016 Maserati GTS Quattroporte.

i. dit Maserat Photo Cre

At the other end of the scale, the 3.8-litre V8 produces the same 523bhp as the previous model, but the improved aerodynamics mean its top speed is now 193mph. Other new features include

adapt i v e cruise control, lane departure and collision warning systems with brake assist, and an automated emergency brake, plus a new surround camera that

can be ordered as an option. An entry level diesel spec will set you back around €89,000, whereas the rangetopping V8 GranSport GTS starts at a whopping €147,000.

Now you can see it FOLLOWING Landrover’s see-through bonnet in 2014, the company has now produced a system called Transparent Trailer, an aid for drivers to see behind trailers, horseboxes and suchlike. While the bonnet tech used cameras mounted in the grille of the Discovery Vision Concept to project an image of the road surface onto the windscreen, the new kit combines video footage from the existing surround-view apparatus, which comprises cameras located on the wing mirrors and back of the car, with that shot by a third unit attached to the towed vehicle. The resulting hybrid image, is then projected onto an electronic rear-view mirror, aiding drivers when reversing or overtaking.Transparent Trailer will probably be offered as an aftermarket item within a couple of years.

AS humanity continues to head on its way towards a roboticallycontrolled future, Mini has unveiled its own vision of what lies ahead, in the form of the Mini concept Vision 100. Created for the BMW Group’s centenary, Chief Designer Anders Warming says: “Today we connect emotionally to a Mini. In the future we’ll connect to it digitally.” Mini say that in a future where cars are commonly shared in overcrowded cities, every Mini will become your Mini, with their theory that if the vehicle feels like your own every time you get into it, then brand loyalty should increase. The theory can be compared to losing your smart phone, with a backup of your files and information stored in the Cloud, the future Mini will remember driving and performance preferences, but also employ graphics projected onto the roof, doors, interior, and even the ground around the car. In addition, the navigation system will know the kind of places you go, and make suggestions based on that by harvesting data from your internet and social networking history, or whatever the equivalent is in 20 years’ time.

Russia ban THE International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) has upheld its decision to ban Russian athletes from this summer’s Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro over an alleged state-sponsored doping scandal. Russia has been suspended from all IAAF track and field events since November 2015, following the publication of a 325-page independent report from the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada). The unanimous vote by the IAAF council was announced following a meeting in Vienna on Friday, June 17, and means that Russia will be absent from athletics events at the games for the first time since they boycotted the 1984 jamboree in Los Angeles. A second get-together in Lausanne on Tuesday, June 21 will see leaders from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), international sporting federations, and national Olympic and anti-doping organisations consider ‘whether and if individual athletes should be given individual justice.’
