Ashes scandal end in sight By Matt Ford The end of a painful saga for thousands of Costa del Sol families who were given the wrong ashes after their loved ones were cremated, many of them at night, may be in sight. Malaga’s provincial court has given the green light to financial compensation for those affected in the infamous Parcemasa case. An estimated 2,700 cremations were rigged by a group of funeral parlours and insurance agencies based in Malaga between 1994 and 1995. The scam was brought to light two years later when police learned Francisco Peralta, an employee of the municipal cemetery Parcemasa which charged €540 per official cremation, had convinced a number of other funeral directors to incinerate bodies at night for just €90-€180. Families though, had been billed for the full amount. Thousands did not receive the ashes of their loved ones but those intended for other families. It was also revealed the other mastermind behind the plot, funeral director Emilio Paloma, only cremated some of the bodies in order to reduce costs even further. He was arrested in 1997, when a routine police pa-

trol stopped his car and found remains belonging to four people inside the vehicle. The decomposing bodies of a further 47 individuals were later unearthed beneath the patio of his house in Los Rosales, Churriana, where neighbours had

long been suspicious of the smell which emanated from the property every time it rained. In 2012 the crooked pair were handed prison sentences totalling seven years while six other suspects were cleared. More than 20 years after the

crimes were committed, the relatives of people whose remains have not yet been located or identified can now apply for financial compensation. In order to do so, family members or heirs must take identification and a copy of the

contract signed with the relevant funeral parlour to the Ciudad de la Justicia building in Malaga City. The scheme will run until October 2020, and the office can be contacted by telephone on 951 939 011.

EWN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Marbella lover Craig Fairbrass By John Smith WITH the annual Marbella International Film Festival almost upon us, copies of all of the films appearing in the festival which runs from September 28 to October 2 are making their way to Marbella where they will be closely guarded, as they are valuable property. One well-known British actor, Craig Fairbrass, writer and star of the film London Heist which will be presented at the Teatro Goya with a red carpet premier on September 30, flew over specially to present the digital version to director of the festival Mac Chakaveh and Euro Weekly News was invited to see this and to interview the actor. Craig is very happy to say that he knows the type of role that he is best suited to and loves playing the hard man and gangster, a role that has brought him a flow of work for some 25 years. This film has also been in his mind for that

length of time as he loves Marbella and has always wanted to be involved in a film set in the city which he regularly visits with his family. Indeed he is over with them now and one of his

sons Luke was a producer of the film. The story revolves around a group of armed robbers who have the money that they stole from an armed robbery taken by another gang. Craig’s character sees his father killed and

sets off to Marbella to trace the money and killers of his father, which sets off a murderous chain of events which will keep the audience on the edge of their seats. Although the six foot three tall actor

is known for playing ‘hard men,’ he is remarkably friendly and pleasant in real life and is very grateful for the way that things have turned out for him. He was something of a tearaway at school and was expelled from two, but loved drama and a teacher suggested that he apply for the National Theatre Youth group which he did and he has never looked back. One of the films that he starred in, Rise of the Footsoldier has become a cult classic having sold a staggering two million DVDs since its release in 2007. This true life story of soccer hooligans turned gangsters was so popular that Craig is just about to start filming on a prequel concentrating on his character Pat Tate and he is delighted that he will once again be undertaking some of the filming in Marbella. Craig says that he has been very happy and lucky to have had such regular work, but manages to balance his personal and working life so that he is not a neurotic actor always worrying where the next job will come from, but takes life as it comes and so far it has treated him well as he has achieved all that he ever hoped for.

A round with the stars By Matt Ford PHILANTHROPIC foundation ‘Global Gift,’ headed by Malaga-born actress, and exgirlfriend of Antonio Banderas, Maria Bravo, plus ‘Desperate Housewives’ star Eva Longoria, is to host a star-studded charity event in Marbella next month. The Global Gift Solidarity Challenge, follows the success of the organisation’s flagship gala in July, which raised thousands of euros, and generated a public impact equivalent to a 10 million euro marketing campaign, according to media partners. A gala dinner will be held at the Gran Melia Don Pepe luxury hotel, on Saturday, October 15, followed by the third Global Gift Golf Tournament at the Estepona Golf Club, with all funds donated to the Cudeca, Global Gift, and Marie Keating foundations.

Red, red wine the best in Spain A WINE from Alora has been voted the best available in Spanish supermarkets, in the guide book, ‘Superwines 2017 The Supermarket Wine Guide,’ (Spanish, Los Supervinos 2017. La guía de vinos de supermercado). The crianza Vega del Geva, produced by the Perez Hidalgo bodega, was voted the best red wine available in the country.

The prodigious plonk beat off competition from a whopping 980 other contenders to land the coveted position, with 151 other ‘supervinos,’ and 48 ‘megavinos,’ having also been selected for the book. Not only is the tipple the only representative from Malaga included in the bible of booze, it is the first time that a wine

from the Province has picked up the title. The gushing review refers to an ‘unforgettable, near perfect wine from the Sierra de Malaga,’ and winery co-owner, Francisco Perez Hidalgo, appeared overawed by the acclaim, as he said, “This was something impossible, taking into account other denominations of origin from this country.”

Arrest again for woman antagonist LOCAL POLICE officers from Malaga City’s central district have had to arrest a 26-year-old woman who allegedly threatened people with a knife at a playground on Paseo de la Farola. The woman approached a group of seven and eight-year-olds who were playing at the park in the early hours of the morning, in presence of their families, one evening towards the end of August and allegedly started, for no apparent reason, to threaten them with a large knife and scream unintelligible insults. Parents reported they had to quickly get themselves between the woman and the children to protect them. After a few minutes the woman ran away but officers managed to track her down nearby, based on witness’ descriptions. The suspect, they reported, threw herself to the ground and said she had thrown the knife into the sea. The woman already has a record for theft and petty crime and was arrested in July after being reported for beating up a dog in the street.

ULTRA EXCLUSIVE: Malaga Port is the setting for a new luxury hotel complex. By Matt Ford FOLLOWING another change of direction, plans for a luxury hotel in Malaga’s port have now been endorsed by the city council and will shortly be made public. The development is being backed by the Qatar-based Al Bidda Group and is expected to require investment of close to €120 million, with around 1,300 jobs created during the construction phase alone. Al Bidda executives intend the com-

plex, currently dubbed ‘Suites Malaga Port’ to be a ‘destination hotel,’ in that its very presence will attract new tourism opportunities for the provincial capital, although critics have said that it will ruin the historic skyline. The primary issue among sceptics is the proposed height, which at 135 metres will measure the same as nearby Mount Gibralfaro and dwarf every city structure. The 35-floor five-star hotel, expected to

open by 2020, will feature 352 rooms, 485 parking spaces, a conference centre, luxury shopping mall, swimming pools, a spa, and possibly a casino. Architect Jose Segui opted for an elliptical design, to offer resistance to strong westerly winds which buffet the port.

Filmmaker promotes ‘The Forgotten Voices’ EXPATS VIDEO: Getting voices out there.

BREXIT PAGE By Simon Firth WHEN the period post Brexit vote, is pored over by historians to examine which concerns became a reality and which did not, the work of Gemma Middleton will feature prominently. A filmmaker and scriptwriter who has lived in Spain for seven years, she felt strongly that the voices of the expats were not being taken into account by policy makers in the UK. “We are immigrants. We are no different. We need to get our voices out there,” she says. When she first devised the project and began to test the water, she was bombarded by offers and views. “We have no voice and this was the one way I could get these voices out there,” says Gemma, for whom the film is her second solo project for her production company, Girl Friday Films. In conjunction with Spanish

director Samuel Sebastian, they have put the first part of the film on YouTube and are looking to interest major players in the UK TV and film market. As an expat herself, although she does not like the term, Gemma said she was shocked by the outcome of the vote, particularly when her family in the UK voted to leave, and fears those living in Spain will now find themselves dictated to from afar. “My family at home voted to leave without thinking twice

about it and what it would mean for me. That made me see that if they didn’t, what chance was there the British government would? “We are pawns in the whole thing. I’m convinced of that,” said Gemma, a mother-of-two, who refers to the UK immigrants in Spain as The Forgotten Voices. The PM Theresa May, she believes, has deliberately appointed the three most prominent individuals behind the Brexit vote to oversee the UK’s departure.

“If they make a mess of it, she can turn round to the nation and say: ‘I didn’t do it, it’s what they have done’.” An aspect that appears to some to be increasing in the aftermath of the vote is racism in the UK towards immigrants, some of whom have been in the country for many years. “There are very worrying signs that it’s increasing,” said Gemma who is part of a postBrexit anti-racism group.

Counting the human cost By Simon Firth

STUDENTS at the European Si x t h Fo r m C o l le g e who took A-levels with the examination boards Cambridge and Edexcel, will not receive any grades, it has been confirmed.

By Matt Ford and Eleanor Hawkins A MAJOR archaeological discovery has been unearthed during the initial phase of construction of a new hotel in the heart of Estepona. As earth was being excavated, the well-preserved remains of a medieval tannery gradually came into view, leading the council to call in experts. The ruins date from the 11th and 12th centuries, and comprise five round and four rectangular pools which would have been used for treatment of leather and fur.

14th

century pottery kiln has also been uncovered.

Historical Heritage councillor, Jose Maria Guerrero, was ecstatic as he explained that the remains are in a “terrific condition, and the find is one of the most important of its type in the entire Iberian peninsula.” Municipal archaeologist, Ildefonso Navarro, added that a 14th century pottery kiln has also been uncovered nearby, with both relics in a remarkably good state given the high water table at the site, which led to complications

The remnants are located on the outskirts of the old city of Estebbuna, close to the Calancha River, as was traditional in towns of the period, when tanneries and other industrial buildings were located outside of the urban core.

Despite the apparent importance of the remains, the hotel’s construction will continue as planned, with the caveat that a glass floor is to be installed in the floor of the restaurant, allowing diners to gaze down on a slice of history as they tuck in.

A witness without the uniform A PASSIONATE cyclist, humanitarian, and Costa del Sol police officer, is embarking on perhaps his greatest challenge yet, as he hopes to draw public attention to one of the world’s greatest ongoing disasters. Gilberto Morales, a National Police officer who works out of the Benalmadena-Torremolinos station, will cycle 1,200 kilometres across Greece to help

raise much needed funds to provide clothing and toys to distressed refugee children facing yet another perilous winter as they flee war in the east. Accompanied only by a sturdy bike, small bag, and camera to document their suffering, Morales will sleep, eat, and talk with the refugees he encounters, fully aware that his help will be mostly symbolic but nevertheless

adamant that it is essential that the world opens its eyes to their ordeal. Though Morales has also travelled across India and Nepal in similar endeavours, it was his time manning the Spanish border at Algeciras which inspired this latest effort. This time he will again be a witness, but without uniform, and his journey can be followed on, www.bikeblog.es.

New wave of fake kidnaps AFTER a lull in the ‘virtual kidnappings,’ orchestrated by a Chilean gang that hit headlines in Marbella and Malaga last year, the National Police have warned of a surge recently, terrifying families across the Costa del Sol.

Contact 091 before taking drastic measures. The malicious ruse sees parents and family members contacted by criminal groups who claim to have kidnapped their child or loved one, and demanding a hefty ransom for their safe return. Taking advantage of their victim’s instinctive horror, they intimidate them over the phone with

threats, insisting on a quick transfer of funds, or vengeance if their demands are not met. An old trick, the calls have been successfully clamped down on by an effective public awareness campaign, but police are reporting a rise in incidences over the past weeks and are urging the public not to take any drastic measures without contacting them on 091 first. The modus operandi differs. In some cases calls are made indiscriminately on the off-chance that a potential victim will take the bait. In other, more systematic crimes, the perpetrators do research on their targets, uncovering addresses, names, and numbers, to lend credibility to their claims.

A new tank, pipe network, and computerised system will be the fruits of the significant fund-

Water management has been privatised but the council felt the need to step in, given the predicament residents will be in if the crisis continues. The council was quick to stress the investment would enable them to guarantee water supply for citizens, even in the event of a power outage.

Appetite for construction

MARBELLA: Site for a new five-star luxury hotel project. By Matthew Elliott ALREADY occupying a premier position among the world’s most luxurious destinations, Marbella is set to see its star shine even brighter, with the announcement that the Costa del Sol city will have one of the most ambitious hotel projects in history unfold on its soil. Platinum Estates, a Hong Kong based investment fund, has unveiled plans to build a

five-star luxury hotel near the sand dunes of Real Zaragoza, a protected area of outstanding natural beauty. The move has been long in the making, but was only recently announced due to the tight secrecy and enormous funds involved. With an initial investment of 300 million euros, the project would mark the chain’s first foray into the Costa del Sol hotel scene, and become the largest luxury project in Mar-

bella, no mean feat given the city punches well above its weight. Hoping to open its doors in the summer of 2019, the proposed hotel would have 600 beds across 151,000 square metres of prime land, and generate more than 1,000 jobs. With four floors and a modern architectural style, the bulk of the land will be used for green space and roads, as the developers will keep the area’s protected status.

LAKE VIĂ‘UELA: Currently only at 35 per cent capacity.

Fears over water levels EXPERTS have again expressed fears over the continuing lack of rain for water courses serving the Malaga Region. If the rains continue to hold off, it is argued, the civic authorities may have to impose water usage restrictions.

This would entail calling into action the special drought plan for the Andalucian Mediterranean Basin. They remain concerned not only about the lack of rainfall but the trend in water consumption. The three main reservoirs

serving the Guadalhorce can guarantee continued water supplies for another two years, it is claimed. The situation is regarded as most serious for Lake ViĂąuela, the largest in the province, which is said to be at just 35 per cent of its capacity.

Mud slinging

SOTOGRANDE BEACH: Row over promised regeneration. By Matthew Elliott STORM clouds are gathering over new problems at the mouth of the Guadiaro river, and the lack of regeneration at the Sotogrande beach. San Roque mayor, Juan Carlos Ruiz Boix, has laid the blame squarely at the feet of the regional government,

which he accuses of reneging on their promise to properly dredge the riverbed and protect residents from the encroaching Mediterranean tide. Furious that the situation remains precisely the same after his return from holiday, the mayor said that it was high time he grabbed the reins and demanded action, as

the affairs of government could not be directed from a hammock. Specifically he hopes to ad dress the threat posed to beachside residents by the weak protection they are offered from the tide as winter approaches, with many facing possible flooding if the issue is not resolved.

Water wars By Eleanor Hawkins ACCUSATIONS have been flying in Malaga City this week, after Malaga Ahora spokeswoman at the council, Ysabel Torralbo, claimed that the beaches in the city had not been suitable for bathing all summer due to waste waters dumped in the sea. During a conference to report on the ‘Clean Beaches’ campaign carried out this summer, Torralba reported that water samples taken from Guadalmar, Sacaba, La Misericordia, Huelin, and La Malagueta beaches, had been found not to meet minimum health and safety levels, and claimed that the Junta de Andalucia regional government or the city council should have closed the beaches to bathers immediately. The spokeswoman also claimed that mercury, lead, and nickel residues had been found at a depth of just 60cm on La Misericordia, and that bacterial levels were dangerous and could cause illnesses including gastroenteritis, ear infections, and dermatitis. Her party, Torralba reported, had sent reports on the analysis to the Junta and the council on September 5, yet nothing had been done. The council however, was quick to respond to the accusations, with the environmental and beaches councillors insisting that the waters were excellent and said it was extremely irresponsible of Malaga Ahora to scaremonger in this way. Beaches councillor Teresa Porras said, “they can’t create this type of social alarm over reports from a laboratory which isn’t even qualified to analyse sea water.”

of their resources on looking after the cats and dogs in their care. Another open day is expected in early October, when visitors will be invited to visit the facility and meet some of the cats and dogs awaiting adoption, details of times and dates will be announced shortly.

Three suspects held in jewellery snatch attacks A MAN and two women have been arrested by police investigating thefts of jewellery from a number of elderly people.

At one stage a motorist was flagged down and asked to draw a map to help out the group, one of whom then pulled on the necklace, or bracelet before fleeing. Police said a number of their victims suffered injuries after falling to the ground during the attacks.

Fishy frolics form finale

AN END TO SUMMER: Celebration with proceeds going to charity. By Matt Ford FUENGIROLA bid farewell to a record-breaking summer, with a huge blowout on Del Castillo beach, in the area where a number of ‘moranga’ style beach barbecues are installed. Freshly grilled sardines with beer or soft drinks were available for the bargain price of one euro, with all proceeds donated to the Spanish Can-

cer Association and Relatives of Alzheimer’s. The event was billed as ‘The Great Summer Farewell,’ and spirits were certainly high as council members and other officials mingled with the revellers. Beaches councillor, Jose Sanchez, was effusive in his praise of the Municipal Beaches’ Association, who helped lay on the spread by providing skilled staff to pro-

duce the delicious sardineladen ‘espetos.’ President of the association, Alberto Santos, reciprocated the kind words as he thanked Fuengirola Town Hall for “once again providing a springboard to organise events that encourage tourism in Fuengirola, and we encourage anyone who tried an espeto to continue visiting at any time of year, because we have an exceptional climate!”

Community meetings: A waste who controls them? of money Community Law Corner By José Luis Navarro Solicitor for Intercala Administration

joseluis@intercala.com www.intercala.com

with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches

MANY owners will have attended community meetings that break down into arguments, that cease to follow any particular order or agenda and are persistently disrupted by owners obsessed with making their point of view known to all and sundry, often at the expense of others. Who should chair and therefore oversee a community meeting is not expressly mentioned in the Law of Horizontal Property. However, giving consideration to Spanish company law and other legislation pertaining to similar meetings, it is generally accepted it should be the elected president of the community who chairs a meeting. Most of the time this will be the case, but it is important to highlight that if the president is not available then someone else must take on the role of the chair for the meeting to proceed. Logically the first choice would be the vice president but if the vice president is also not available, then the owners present or their represen-

tatives are obliged to elect someone else to chair the meeting. The president or the person chosen to chair the community meeting, means they also take control of the meeting. This includes checking the proxies are correct, seeing the meeting is conducted in an orderly manner that follows the agenda and later signing the minutes. Even if the president is present the post can and often will be designated to the administrator who then acts in the president’s name. Controlling who can attend a meeting can be a delicate matter. Confidential issues may well be addressed concerning, property ownership, debtors, who is to be sued for not complying with the law or being a nuisance to other neighbours. A correct balance needs to be achieved between an owner’s right to assistance by a lawyer or translator, etc., the presence of technical experts to advise and the other owners’ rights to privacy. Once the reason or motive is established the president usually has the right to approve someone’s presence but if a majority of owners disagree then this has to be respected. Another method to address this sensitivity is the order of the agenda. Placing some sensitive issues to be discussed later, after the lawyers and the technicians have left. All the owners have the right to

express an opinion but if one or two dominate the meeting, constantly interrupting and preventing others from having their say then the president can stipulate the length of time any one owner may address the meeting. This ensures the other owners can express their ideas and also prevents the meeting from going round in circles for an unreasonable length of time. Of course if it really gets out of hand you can always call the police. Owners are there to have their say but not so in writing. Unless it is considered to be of benefit to the meeting by those present, the chair should prevent owners or representatives from reading written letters from other owners who are absent. Having said this, if an owner considers they have had their legal rights denied or been mistreated in an unreasonable way, for example by not being allowed to have their say on a subject they consider important or another owner by not being allowed to have a translator or their legal adviser present, then they can go to court and contest any of the decisions made at the meeting to right the wrongs they consider they have suffered. As usual we the solicitors for Intercala Administration advise the readers of our monthly article to seek competent and proper advice in all matters concerning the law.

THE recent breaking of a sewage pipe which led to human waste seeping out on Estepona’s Playa del Cristo to the horror of bathers has sparked strong criticism from the socialist opposition in the town. PSOE opposition party released a statement this week in which it accused the current council team of being completely unable to plan and carry out work required to put an end to this type of situation. Although work was done back in May to supposedly stop this sort of thing happening, PSOE has stated, it was plainly a waste of public money which served for nothing apart from lining a private company’s pockets.

Thieves put under the spotlight MARBELLA Mayor Jose Bernal has firmly accused an ‘organised band of people related to the council’ of theft regarding a case of irregular €5 charges for parking at concerts held in San Pedro over the summer. The council launched in-

vestigations into the case upon detecting that charges were being made to park on a plot of private land lent to the town for parking and has resulted, the mayor has reported, in two people, one a police captain and the other a municipal employee, facing disciplinary proceedings. Now a legal investigation will be carried out to determine whether the accused, referred to by Bernal as ‘robbers’ may face charges. “Nobody can defend this situation and as mayor I can assure you they will not get off lightly,” the mayor said, referring to former mayor and PP councillor Angeles Muñoz’s defence of the police officer’s work. “It has been proven that there has been crime and corruption here and anyone who places themselves on the side of the culprits is very irresponsible, a responsible opposition should stand by the council’s side, especially to defend our police force’s public image,” Bernal stressed.

MIJAS TOWN HALL: Bringing fashion to the fore with famous designer. By Matt Ford

A SMILING Juan Carlos Maldonado, mayor of Mijas, was able to spend time chatting with famous Saudi designer Mona Al Mansouri prior to the presentation of her new collection at the Pasarela Larios Malaga Fashion Week. It is the first time that the Middle Eastern maestro has visited Spain to present her

work, and she elected to inflect a little Spanish culture into her latest designs, although Sr Maldonado was more interested in speaking about the designer’s “good contacts,” and “my availability to establish good links between Mijas and the Arab Emirates.” Mijas Council are interested to exploit the fashion world and have been discussing the possibility of

holding an international show in the town with the backing of local designers such as Agustin Torralba. “This visit to our town signifies a search for excellence, and the projection of the town on the first international stage!” exclaimed the mayor. “She (Al Mansouri) is fascinated with what she is seeing in our town, our people, the scenery, ultimately the entire tourist offering of Mijas.”

Man caught in La Linea OFFICERS from the National Police and Customs Surveillance of the Tax Authority, swooped on a house in La Linea de la Concepcion and discovered three tons of hashish, as well as three stolen vehicles, and have arrested a 40-yearold-man who was at the house guarding the haul. The investigating team came across a large speed boat unloading parcels into three different SUVs, which left the area at high speed and was chased by the National Police, assisted by a customs helicopter which followed them to a house in El Zabal where they were seen to be unloading the vehicles. Once the property had been identified, the officers applied for a search warrant, and when they entered the house they found the hashish, as well as the stolen vehicles in the surrounding area which are valued at 50,000 euros. The arrested man has been detained in custody and the investigation remains open whilst the joint operation attempts to identify his partners.

Drugs police hold four Guardia Civil officers By Matt Ford SEVEN members of an organised criminal gang, four of them Guardia Civil officers, have been arrested after it emerged that they were using confidential police information to steal drugs from traffickers for their own profit. The other three detainees comprise two business owners and a security guard, who were rounded up after they stole 69 kilos of hashish from a Moroccan cabal on the Costa del Sol. The gang had arranged to meet the North African dealers in Marbella in order to buy the drugs, with two of them posing as traffickers, but as the exchange was about to take place the other five members, who were dressed in full Guardia Civil uniform, moved in. They tied the Moroccans up and left them in a field before making off with the stash. National Polive investigators have confirmed that five of the group then drove to La Rioja where they intended to distribute their haul, but they were arrested before they were able to do so. Raids were also carried out on addresses in La

ANDALUCIA could become the first region in Europe to have a National Park listed as ‘in danger,’ as fears grow over the status of the Doñana wetlands. The enormous reserve covers portions of Huelva and Sevilla provinces, and houses around 2,000 wildlife species including Iberian lynx and imperial eagle, as well as being a hugely important stopover point for millions of migrating birds each year. It covers 540 square kilometres of sandy dunes, Mediterranean pine forest, cork oak and freshwater to saline lagoons, but its water resources are under severe threat. The most recent estimates concluded that the park has lost some 80 per cent of its water due to drainage of marshes, pollution from the mining industry, and abstraction for intensive agriculture. Around five million litres of untreated wastewater are dumped into the surrounding area on a daily basis, while more than 1,000 illegal wells have been drilled around its perimeter by local farmers, whose produce includes 3,000 hectares of unlawfully-planted strawberries.

The national government has also authorised exploration and drilling work by Gas Fenosa in the area, which ecological groups say is against the law. Spain now has until December 1 to declare Doñana permanently off-limits to such practices in a report the country must submit to UNESCO, or the park will be the first in Europe to be classified as ‘in danger.’ WWF Spain has launched a campaign to save one of the most important wetland sites on the continent, and spokesperson Eva Hernandez said: “Doñana’s biodiversity has eroded over the last 40 years and we are reaching a point of no return,” she said. “We could do things to recover the park - and some things are being done - but the pressures on it from private and public companies are becoming unbearable. We must decide whether it is more important to consume all of Doñana’s resources or to preserve its biodiversity and services to the people.” If you wish to help WWF Spain in their mission to change the future of Doñana, visit the website https://makeyourmark.panda.org/es/do nana.

Helping Butterfly Children ON Thursday, September 15, a very special event took place at the Butterfly Children Charity Shop in Marbella, as the Obra Social, a charitable foundation of La Caixa Bank, donated the sum of 24,000 euros to the ‘Well Being’ appeal of the Butterfly Children Charity to provide health, social, and psychological care for Butterfly Skin families during 2016-2017. Victoria Morales, delegate for social rights of the Marbella Council, congratulated the charity for all their hard work in promoting the rights of the Butterfly Skin families throughout Spain. In addition she thanked Obra Social ‘La Caixa,’ for all the help they have given to them and other associations in Marbella. Mr Juan Carlos Martin, Director of Caixa Bank’s Department of Business for Costa del Sol, said that Obra Social ‘La Caixa,’ is the first foundation to give this volume of support at a national level, and with a budget of 500,000,000 euros that has remained uncut since 2008, he was delighted they could assist such a worthy charity that had been working so hard for 20 years.

Nieves Montero, President and Founder of the Butterfly Children Charity (DEBRA), thanked the representatives and explained how pleased the charity is to have the help of the bank. The 24,000 euros will allow the charity to not only help those suffering from the condition and the families, but the professionals who provide the day to day health and social care throughout Spain. Thanks to projects such as ‘Well Being,’ and the work of the Butterfly Children Charity, families can live with the condition, knowing they are not alone and that their rights are being heard. It is important to remember that Butterfly Skin is a rare disease with no cure, and is characterised by extremely fragile skin that breaks with the slightest touch. Activities of daily living such as walking and eating, can cause blisters and open wounds that may take months to heal. In addition to the help from organisations like Obra Social ‘La Caixa,’ the Butterfly Children Charity is funded by its charity shops, such as the one where the signing took place at Calle Caballeros 9, Marbella Old Town.

Difficult for the elderly in the UK CARE for the elderly in England is getting worse according to a joint report from the King’s Fund, and Nuffield Trust, which only reports on the situation up to the end of 2014, and suggests that things may still be deteriorating. Effectively it accuses the government of reducing the amount of money available for care for those over 65, w h i c h meant that the number of people actually being assisted had dropped by a quarter in the period under review, which covered 2011 to 2014, despite the ever ageing population.

Government funded care, which includes residential homes as well as home help, is means tested, and in many cases those with their own properties who are unable to care for themselves are being forced to sell up and spend the money on care. Some argue that this is only fair as if they have the funds, albeit tied up in property, then in difficult financial times they need to pay for themselves. Whilst others suggest that they are being penalised for their prudence, even though it is likely that they will have paid large amounts on tax and social security during their working lives. Unsurprisingly, the government said that it was investing in the future of the

elderly with £5 billion (€6 billion) being earmarked for joint ventures between the NHS and private care sectors. In addition it argues that it has allowed local councils to increase council tax by up to 2 per cent for investment in care, and has found another £1.5 billion (€1.8 billion) for

investment in care by 2019. There is no doubt that many elderly people are left in a very difficult position, and even those companies in the private sector who supplied services to local authorities are finding it

increasingly difficult to provide a good service and make profits, so that a large number are actually closing down or going exclusively private. Apart from the government, others such as charities in-

volved with the elderly, and local councils, believe that the care system is at breaking point and that unless far more money is invested, things will get worse as the population continues to get older.

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Saunders By John Smith ALTHOUGH the sun wasn’t shining too brightly, the smiles on the faces of celebrity chef Steven Saunders and his partner Michele Bertinato lit up the room, as the pair who run the highly successful Little Geranium restaurant in La Cala de Mijas were married at El Oceano Hotel on Monday September 19. The owners of Euro Weekly News Michel and Steven Euesden were invited to attend the very exclusive ceremony which saw just 40 close friends and family watch the happy couple married by Kevin Williams, the official celebrant from Mijas, and to join them in a gourmet lunch organised by John and Lorraine Palmer owners of the hotel ably assisted by Glen Jackson. In the event, only Steven was able to attend as Michel was unwell, but there is no doubt that all were delighted to be able to share this event with such a delightful couple. Michele looked stunning in a beautiful figure hugging white dress with long train, as she was given away by her father Maurice Bertinato whilst Steven was elegant in top hat and very impressive two-piece suit. Two beautiful flower girls Maggie and Helena (Steven’s goddaughter) scattered petals as the maid of honour Hayley Martin lead bridesmaids Serena and Stefanie Saunders and the bride through the hotel to an arch of fresh flowers which formed a backdrop to the ceremony. This was a real family day, with the bride’s brother Brett and sister Catherine in attendance as

well as the groom’s father David and brother Stuart, whilst the best man David Thomson read a poem about marriage. After the ceremony, the guests adjourned to the pool bar in order to formally congratulate the couple and enjoyed a range of delicious canapés before joining many additional guests for a superb evening.

Bayer agrees takeover bid By John Smith NOW with its third bid accepted, the German pharmaceutical company expects to take over genetically engineered seed company Monsanto in what is considered to be the largest ever merger in this agricultural market. The agreement values Monsanto at $56 billion (€49.8 billion) but as the German giant will also take over $10 billion (€8.9 billion) of debt, the total spend will be $66 billion (€58.7 billion).

Quote of the Week

$2 billion (€1.78 billion) is amount Bayer has agreed to pay to Monsanto in the event international regulators refuse to grant approval for the takeover.

According to Bayer, despite resistance from environmental groups in Europe the

constant growth in population worldwide means it is imperative to obtain the best possible yield from agricultural land and this means there will be a huge market for genetically modified crops in future. This combined company will control more than 25 per cent of the entire world’s market for seeds and pesticides and is an example of how so many companies are merging in order to tackle the ‘brave new world.’

It has also allowed the Bank of England to introduce a new

generation of security features, making it even harder to counterfeit. The new polymer notes will still have tiered sizing, bold numerals and a similar colour palette to the current notes to help blind and visually impaired people tell the difference between them. A polymer £10 featuring Jane Austin will also be introduced in 2017 followed in 2020 by a £ 20 depicting the artist Turner. The note was unveiled in June of this year at Blenheim Palace birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill and celebrates one of Britain’s greatest statesmen.

FOLLOWING a meeting of the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) on September 15, it decided to leave the main interest rate at 0.25 per cent but left the door open for a further cut if considered necessary. This news has not been received with any great surprise as it was only a month ago the rate was halved which was the first cut for seven years and the economy appears fairly buoyant following the surprise Brexit result. The next meeting of the MPC will be in November and some analysts forecast that the rate will then be cut to 0.1 per cent.

INE latest FIGURES just released by the Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE) show in 2014, Spanish companies employed 656,000 people and earned €183 million from their overseas subsidiaries whilst foreign companies in Spain employed 1,273,000 and earned €464 million. It also revealed that although the rate had slowed down, inflation continues to fall in Spain.

place an order at their local shop. Breaking with tradition it did not declare the number of phones sold, so if initial production was low no-one would be any the wiser but the excitement caused by the words ‘sell out’ immediately pushed share prices up by more than 3 per cent.

Paradoxically a number of these high cost mergers have been brought about because the general financial difficulties of the past decade caused a reduction in purchases of high priced seeds and pesticide leading to a reduction in profits and these mergers are in part intended to allow for a reduction in operating costs. In the event however that regulators don’t approve the deal, then Bayer is committed to paying a substantial ‘penalty’ to Monsanto.

Airbus woes THERE was bad news for Airbus when Singapore Airlines the first airline to operate the super-jumbo A380 announced that it would not be renewing the lease on the first of its aircraft to reach the expiration of a 10year-contract. Ironically, it still operates four other A380s which are still under contract and has a further five on order which are due for delivery over the next few years. The development of this aircraft has been very expensive and has only recently delivered any profit to Airbus and large aircraft now appear to be going out of fashion.

New power station now approved By John Smith THE British government having agreed in principle with the Chinese government that the Hinkley Point power station expansion in Somerset could go ahead with significant Chinese investment almost a year ago, waited until July of 2016 to see whether the board of French company EDF which will be in partnership with the Chinese would decide to pull out of the project. Once EDF had confirmed their support for the project, the new Prime Minister surprised everyone by announcing that the government was postponing any decision whilst it considered whether it was in Britain’s national interest to allow such a vast amount of foreign investment in such a vulnerable area. Now, either convinced that it won’t be a problem or alert to the lightly veiled threats from the Chinese that future cooperation and investment would be under serious threat if it was cancelled, the government has announced that after reviewing the situation and adding safeguards to the deal, the new nuclear power station can go ahead. It appears that the government was most worried about the fact that there was no protection should investors decide to sell their stake to third parties and has insisted that no sale could be made by EDF without government approval. In addition, it has announced that it will take a percentage of any future deal of this sort in order to

POWER STATION: The government has announced it can go ahead. maintain a modicum of control. With an £18 billion (€21.6 billion) cost of building the plant of which the French firm will pay two thirds, with the balance coming from

China, there is some fear that EDF may be overstretching itself financially, but the fact that this new efficient power station looks likely to supply more than 5 per cent of Britain’s energy needs and

will employ some 25,000 workers over a period of years must have been the deciding factor. This is just the first of two additional nuclear plants that China has indicated that it wishes to be involved with, one with shared investment and one to be built entirely by the Chinese and no mention has been made by the British government about these, although presumably it will want to have some form of interest in these plants as well. With Brexit approaching and the need for Britain to enter into formal trade and other agreements with countries around the world, it would have been somewhat unwise to make the Chinese government lose face by vetoing the project at this vital time.

By John Smith WITH a poke in the eye for Donald Trump, the Ford Motor Company clearly more interested in profits than patriotism ‘Trump style,’ has announced that it will transfer all of its US-based smallcar production to Mexico in order to reduce costs. The company has already had to reduce its profits forecast by $600 million (€533 million) to $10.8 billion ( € 9 . 0 7 b i l l i o n ) d u e to slowing down of sales and a significant charge to the accounts of $640 mi l l i o n ( € 5 6 9 millio n ) caus ed b y a f a u l t i n th e d o o r catches which has required a major rec a l l o f a l a rg e n u mb e r o f models. The company alerted shareholders and journalists to the fact that it will be investing billions of dollars into developing a large range of electric cars as well as self-driving models which it sees as being the future for the business and expects for its range to consist of more than 40 per cent of this type of vehicle by 2020.

Ford embraces car production in Mexico

WORLD HQ: The Ford headquarters in Michigan. chief executive has explained that Ford has to move from its relatively comfortable ‘old style’ of busi-

ness in order to adapt to a new world with very ‘new style’ products and customer expectations.

Ford is now faced with competing not just with traditional vehicle manufacturers but with major

high tech companies such as Appl e and Googl e whi ch ar e cash rich, technology savvy and are already testing their own self-drive vehicles. Apart from expanding its range of vehicles and updating the whole business, the company finds itself in the unusual position of needing to save money from day to day oper at i ons f or ecast at $3 bi l l i on (€2.65 billion) per year for the next three years whilst investing huge amounts in research and development. What i s cl ear however at t he moment is that whilst a number of companies are pouring cash into self-driving cars and are being allowed to test early prototypes provided they are accompanied by a human driver - there is no guarantee if or when Congress will approve a law allowing those vehicles on the road. One thing is likely however and that is if Donald Trump is elected the next President of the USA that Ford may face some problems in importing their new cars across the border from Mexico!

Pay extra to enter the UK quickly

BORDER CONTROL: Scheme may be introduced to every airport in the UK. By John Smith IT rather looks as if someone from Ryanair or one of the other budget airlines has been giving advice to the British Government as it has been announced that travellers who want to get through passport control quickly at Gatwick Airport will be invited to pay an extra £17.50 (€20.50) to get this special treatment! This piece of blatant profiteering which also allows fast tracking at security on departure has been confirmed by the Home Office with rumours that it may be introduced at every airport in the UK and will certainly be introduced at Edinburgh in the future. Union leaders representing those responsible for implementing the scheme at the airports are up in arms over the decision and are derisory in their comments about what they see as an unworkable idea. The plan would assume an extra lane to allow the fast

It is not clear whether the charge applies to UK and EU passport holders. tracking but unions say that staff can’t cope with the volume of visitors now and unless staffing is increased, delays for those not paying the extra amount will be even worse. The Home Office believes that the additional funds raised will help fund the immigration service but with an initial plan to allow just 50 people an hour through the new fast lane, an income in the region of £15,000 per day is hardly likely to secure the border and improve the overall process of entry. What is not made clear is whether this charge applies to UK and EU passport holders or only to those who are en-

tering on visas. The passports containing microchips which take passengers through an unmanned series of gates are so unreliable that staff are employed before the automatic machines to explain how they work and to then send those whose passports are not recognised to dedicated immigration officers who have half of the work of their colleagues. This writer has been told that as his name is John Smith, it is too complicated for the computer to cope as so many people have the same name! The concept of retinal passports barely lasted a year and was not only erratic, but had to be scrapped after significant development cost. One good thing about Brexit will be that if Britain refuses to allow members of the EU to have the automatic right of entry into the UK then at least the queues for the British passport holders should reduce dramatically.

Extremists make life hell LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT BY now it must be painfully obvious, even to the ‘luvvies,’ that the extremists of Daesh are hellbent on making life on our beautif u l p l a n e t a l i v in g hell. Every aspect of their existence is firmly geared toward turning the miracle of our glorious human manifestation into one that is evil, utterly lacklustre and totally devoid of all its happiness, love and fun, and boy is it succeeding! It has managed to repress the glamour and personality of its female members: restrict dancing and singing: all but destroy the wonderful joys of travelling, particularly by air (who can forget the heart-lifting excitement of being invited into the cockpit by the pilots of yore?).

AIR TRAVEL: Increased security due to terrorism has taken the joy out of travelling. It has blighted our holiday destinations and beaches with death, destruction and the sight of op-

pressed women in Burkinis. It has attacked our sporting events, s la ughte re d pe ople e njoying

shopping malls and made just about every happy public occasion a reason to keep glancing

over our shoulders in case a rampagi ng gunm an or sui ci de bomber is sidling up behind us. There is of course a method in their undoubted madness. The m or e hor r i f i c t hey m ake t he earthly journey, the easier it is to i nduct new r ecr ui t s i nt o t hei r twisted organisation. Promises of heavenly paradise are far more easily welcomed by those whose lives are hardly worth waking up for. The most ludicrous of all is of course the 72 virgin offers. What I would like to know is what they offer female terrorists? Sevent y- t wo vi rgi n Br ad Pi t t lookalikes? Ha! If it weren’t so serious it would be laughable. But it is of course, deadly serious. We must never waver in our firm commitment to wipe this evil from the face of our Earth; thereby allowing us to enjoy its glorious gifts and simply take our own chances on any possible life hereafter. Keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

Some positive signs for Sterling IT’S been a difficult year for the Pound, which has been losing value against the Euro since David Cameron announced plans for the EU Referendum in November 2015. However, there are now signs to suggest that its value is starting to stabilise as recent figures have shown that, overall, the UK economy is proving more resilient than was initially expected. The long term picture remains unclear though, while the markets wait for Theresa May and her team to reveal what ‘Brexit means Brexit’ actually means. Positive UK retail sales data boosts the Pound Sterling received a boost against the Euro after data was released showing that retail sales growth continued in August, following the very strong monthly rise of almost 2 per cent in July. Consumer confidence in the UK economy is currently strong due to record levels of unemployment, rising house prices and record low mortgage costs. As a result, there seems to be an almost

celebratory mood on the high street, with retail sales up 6 per cent from a year previously. Bank of England maintains rates The recent positive economic data has caused some to criticise the Bank of England for its reaction to the Brexit vote, with suggestions that it should have waited longer

before taking any action. However, they have defended their position and, in their latest meeting on Thursday, they voted to keep their policy unchanged. They also warned that, if the economy develops as they expect, it may be necessary to cut rates again by the end of the year. At their next meeting in November, they will update their

growth and inflation forecasts, and they could decide to further cut rates if the current positive economic figures are not maintained. What does this mean for the Pound? If the recent data is anything to go by, the short-term prospects for the UK economy are looking more positive, which could result in a stabilisation of the Pound’s value. However, this could all change in November, depending on what happens at the next Bank of England meeting and what is announced in the government’s Autumn Budget. And of course, it is difficult to predict the longer term situation for the Pound until Article 50 is triggered and formal exit negotiations begin.

More unity, less division post-Brexit we can all wait to see what Dave thinks of him... in his soon-to-berushed-out memoirs. (The same Dave, you’ll recall, who said he wanted to spend more time with his family... if he could remember which pub he left them in.) Seriously, shouldn’t Juncker have been put out to grass long ago? He was always a loose cannon but is now seriously out of step, and certainly not the man to initiate the changes the EU badly needs. Whether you’re an ardent Remainiac or Brexiteer, it’s hard not to find his rantings bizarre. Rather reminds me of a sad Canute-type figure who just can’t contemplate that maybe the EU is fragmenting and he has no control over it. Time to lie down in a dark room, dear...

IN his recent State of the Union address, EC President, JeanClaude Juncker, warned that the EU is facing an “existential threat” as major splits emerge between eastern and western EU countries following Brexit. He pointedly condemned the murder of a Polish man in Harlow, Essex, as an example of what could happen if Europe doesn’t unite. Declaring that the next 12 months would be crucial, he claimed that the EU “doesn’t have enough union... leaving scope for galloping populism.” More worryingly, he also alluded to plans for a European travel information system, which could mean British travellers end up paying about £10 to visit the continent post-Brexit. Hmm! Juncker speaks of splits and fragmentation but doesn’t realise he (plus Mrs Merkel) bears

JEAN-CLAUDE JUNCKER: Not the man to initiate the changes the EU so badly needs. most responsibility for it. He epitomises so much what is wrong with the EU. Unelected, no mandate for these ideas, no understanding of the electorate. Take his claim that the EU’s in a battle with

“galloping populism.” A battle with reality, more like. Only he could have been vindictive enough to mention the tragic murder in Essex. Have there been no violent incidents in the EU?

Strange how he fails to mention sectarian assaults on immigrants in EU countries which haven’t voted to leave. People like Juncker are on the wrong side of reality. Never mind,

Off-Plan Property Deposit Refunds FAR more people than many realise agreed to pay a deposit when deciding to buy an offplan property in Spain. When the developer went bankrupt or disappeared they lost their money but it might be possible to recover some of it. In a number of circumstances, it is perfectly possible to obtain a refund of what you have lost thanks to a ruling by the Spanish Government and the involvement of a knowledgeable group of lawyers and advisors. Sheldon Grossmith found himself in exactly this situation but as a real estate agent based in Spain not only did he have a good idea of the law, he also knew a very astute and successful lawyer who helped him recover his funds. Now, through his company Off-Plan Property Deposit Refunds, based in Estepona, Sheldon and his Spanish associate, Hector Alvarez, are offering expatriates and Spaniards the opportunity to recover their funds, even if, as is often the case, they were lost 10 years ago. The answer is very simple: the Banks with whom the original deposit was lodged could well be responsible in law for the refund of the monies lost, provided that they didn’t insist that monies lodged were covered by

Funeral directors that you can trust IT is never a good time to talk about the passing away of a loved one, especially if this happens while you are living abroad, away from other close family and friends who would normally offer support. In that time of great need and deep sadness, you may be able to take comfort by knowing you can turn to someone who speaks your language and can help steer you through this daunting process. The English Funeral Directors allow you to put together a funeral following your traditions. That means it doesn’t have to be the next day, as is Spanish custom, so you have time to invite all the dearly departed’s family and friends from the UK and

It also means that you can be assured of an English minister and service, and, if needs be, even a repatriation back to the UK organised by John and Sally, owners of the company. They set up English Funeral Directors more than 11 years ago and have plenty of experience of the practicalities and legalities of funeral procedures in Spain. They provide professional services

including liaisons with doctors, clergy and the British Consulate if necessary, as well as applying for Death Certificates. If you are in need of a funeral director, call John or Sally for a caring and personal service you can rely on. Reach them on +34 699 664 660 any time of day or night, or contact John by email on john@englishfuneraldirec tors.com.

upset he felt when he thought that he had lost such a large sum and wants to help others recover what in some cases could be their life savings. He will make a charge for putting this to-

gether, but this will be on a no-win no-fee basis! Those who have suffered a loss are invited to contact him with a copy of the original purchase contract and proof of payment (as well as where it was paid to). A decision as to whether there is a viable case to prosecute can be made very quickly and if the decision is positive then it is intended that there will be a three-way agreement, signed between the person losing the money, OPP and the lawyer who will undertake the case. Once they proceed, it is likely that it will take 12 to 18 months to obtain a final court ruling and in the event of the Judge making an award to the person whose money has been taken, there will be a 15 per cent charge (plus IVA) from OPP and the lawyers will keep any interest that has been awarded by the court. Should the case be unsuccessful, then no costs are charged to the client. OPP was formed at the beginning of 2016 and is a regular advertiser in Euro Weekly News from which it has received a number of enquiries and is currently actively pursuing more than 30 cases. So if you want to find out more, visit www.off-planpropertydepositrefunds.com or call Sheldon on 642 740 708.

Will people never learn? WHY do people insist on keeping as pets the dogs they know are banned? A baby girl was mauled to death and now her mother and grandmother have been jailed. Do the owners really think they can control them or don’t they really care and the dogs are just fashion statements? If you really have to have such a dog, why put it in a house where there is a very young child? Email

‘Winterval’ was last straw IN 1998 Birmingham City Council decided that Christmas was racist so they renamed it ‘Winterval’ in case it offended Muslims. That was one of the main reasons for my leaving the UK for Spain. I told my friends that I would rather be a foreigner in a foreign country than a foreigner in my own country. Roger, Benichembla

He broke the union

Stop paying the taxes AS long as Britain keeps paying Angela Merkel her austerity tax, pensioners will suffer, especially us expats, but once this is stopped altogether, we would see sterling gradually strengthening against the Euro again and with our global trade (unfettered by the EU ) our GDP will rocket. If Clinton fails to become US president we will NOT be ‘at the back of the queue.’ Also due to many EU members ie Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal etc defaulting on their austerity payments, we could expect the Euro currency to weaken considerably against all other currencies and if we sacked ‘doom & gloom’ Mark Carney, we expats could see the Pound Sterling equal to two Euros!! Brian, Benalmadena

DAVID CAMERON was defeated in the end by the same issue that has ripped the Tories to shreds on so many occasions - Europe. He chose to take the country to referendum on a really complex issue totally unsuited for that kind of blunt ‘democratic tool.’ And he has paid the price, but so will all the rest of us. With no UK who will counterbalance the Germans? They have been handed almost total domination of the EU, the sort their politicians didn’t even want. He will be remembered for his vicious austerity packages imposed on cowering town halls, the farcical Brexit vote and, though I hope not, the man who broke the Union. What does he see when he looks in the mirror??? Mike, Malaga

The truth needs sharing THE 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Centres has just taken place. These attacks were used as justification for a ‘war against terrorism’ which has created more terrorists, created more invasions and brought us close to another World War. These attacks and the people behind them were planned in America. The Twin Towers and the WTC building were destroyed by controlled demolition, not by hijacked planes. This information needs to be shared so that everyone out there can see the truth. Austin, withheld

It just goes too far

topless and whose miniscule bikini bottoms do nothing to cover up rolls of cellulite and lard, which would almost certainly be more attractive if encased in the aforementioned bathing costumes adopted by ladies of the Muslim faith. Jonathan, Valencia

Keep it covered folks You don’t I CAN’T help wondering on which beach Leapy was ‘offended’ by a have to swear burkhini clad woman. However, I have been offended by hairy pot bellied men in ‘posing pouches’ with just a string running through the cleft of their rather unpleasant buttocks and by certain rather obese ladies whose pendulous breasts should never have been exposed

fighting on the front with our troops! Mike, withheld

IT’S very rare we watch any TV after 9.00pm because of the profanity. Movies have become a no-go for anything rated over 12! I know many people who dislike profanity but put up with it rather than switch off so the producers aren’t getting

the message. As I always say: no one loses an audience because the language/content is decent. Hazel, withheld

Careful with the water IT is up to all of us to use less water. I know people have gardens and they are very dear to our hearts, but drought is drought. There is a finite amount of the clear stuff unless they dig down for miles and that takes a lot of money. No-one’s suggesting we won’t have enough to drink. But if you have to leave your car a little dirtier for a little while longer then accept it. If we don’t economise

someone else will make the decision for us and we don’t want that. Email

Not what was expected SO not only did he turn his back on the country after making a dogs b***** of the referendum campaign he puts another two fingers up to his constituency! We all might have guessed this about him as his U turns and various daft taxes like the bedroom tax and misleading speeches would have told us all what we should expect of him as a person... and that is one of low character. I am glad he was not

I AM constantly shocked at the behaviour of young men and women flying on the budget airlines. Why do we have to put up with this? Is their money so important? Instead of a shortish trip back to the UK, I dread sitting next to a group who are often drunk and feel the need to swear loudly. Why aren’t they refused permission to get on the flight in the first place? It is very intimidating to be on the same flight. Ryanair and easyJet only seem to do anything about it when it’s already gone far too far. If you say anything to these groups you risk being on the receiving end of a foul-mouthed tirade. It’s not funny, and worse, it’s not fair to the rest of us. Val, Alicante

Pay and display parking

Gorham’s Cave Complex

Breakfast in Geneva

LINE WALL ROAD, from the light-controlled crossing by the American War Memorial to its junction with Cloister Ramp, will become pay and display parking from 10am to 7pm Monday to Friday, and 10am to 2pm on Saturdays. Motorcycles will no longer be allowed to park in this area as motorcycle parking is provided at Zoca Flank and Reclamation Road.

UNESCO Chair, Professor Minja Yang, presented the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo with a World Heritage Site certificate for the Gorham’s Cave Complex. At a ceremony at the viewing platform on September 20, the Chief Minister explained this recognition by such a distinguished body was an important realisation of how significant Gibraltar is to everyone.

ON Tuesday September 20, financial services minister Albert Isola hosted a financial services breakfast at the Four Seasons Hotel Des Bergues in Geneva, as part of Gibraltar Day in the capital. Approximately 100 professionals in the field of funds, asset management and private client work attended, including related firms from the private sector in Gibraltar.

Farewell Alison MacMillan would do all that she could to ensure that Gibraltar ’s position is understood in Whitehall. It was with great pleasure that the Chief Minister presented Mrs MacMillan with a painting of Buena Vista Cottage as a thank you for her service and as a permanent keepsake of the time that she had spent in Gibraltar. The new Deputy Governor will be career diplomat Nick Pyle who has already arrived on the Rock.

By John Smith THE Chief Minister hosted a farewell reception in honour of Deputy Governor of Gibraltar Mrs Alison MacMillan who has now completed her third posting to Gibraltar although she will still be involved with the Rock as she has been given the temporary role as a link between the UK and Gibraltar with regards to Brexit. Having been Governor for a short period of time following the untimely departure of the Governor before last, Mrs MacMillan has worked in Gibraltar at different times over two decades. Mr Picardo said how well Mrs MacMillan had understood the issues facing Gibraltar and how friendly she had been to the community. In his opinion, she was an example of how the UK and Gibraltar could work together easily. In response, Mrs MacMillan explained how it was her aim to look after the best interests of Gibraltar, taking into account the wishes of the British Government but she

THE Environmental Protection and Research Unit within the Department of the Environment and Climate Change (DECC) has announced that over the past three weeks it has being carrying out operations targeting illegal spearfishing activities in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters (BGTW). This initiative has resulted in two separate cases so far involving four spear fishermen who have been identified as being Spanish and all four individuals are now being processed for reporting by the DECC after having been found contravening the Marine Protection Regulations. Environmental Protection Officers from the department will be continuing with the operation over the coming weeks as part of the wider strategy to curb illegal fisheries in BGTW.

HM Government of Gibraltar

Liberal Democrats meeting in Brighton DEPUTY Chief Minister, Dr Joseph Garcia, the UK Liberal Democrat plenary session there is no conflict between being British and being European. He was given special permission to address the conference during the debate on a Policy Motion on Britain and the EU. He explained Gibraltar had voted 67 per cent in favour of the Liberal Democrats during the last European elections and how 96 per cent had voted to remain in the EU. He said the Policy Motion referred to the risks to Gibraltar posed by Brexit and declared

these risks were potentially significant and very real. Dr Garcia said freedom of movement was important to Gibraltar pointing out that 12,000 people cross the border to and from Spain to work in Gibraltar. This represented half of the local labour force and referred to the importance of access to the EU Single Market. He also outlined the threats against Gibraltar made by Spain regarding the border and the attempted blackmail about jointsovereignty. He said it had been rejected nearly unanimously in a referendum held in 2002.

Just Joking

Unscramble the name of a famous British composer: A DREDGER LAW

What did the chap with amnesia say at the bar? So, do I come here often?

Unscramble the name of a British television game show first broadcast in 1980 (two words): RESULT OF INFAMY

What did the mermaid wear to maths class? An algae-bra.

FUNAGRAM SOLUTION: EDWARD ELGAR, FAMILY FORTUNES.

Directed by: Joe and Anthony Russo Starring: Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Tom Holland, Scarlet Johansson With his propaganda-poster jawline and air of unimpeachable nobility, Captain America has always been one of the duller members of the Marvel universe. Which is probably why, although this latest Avengers outing bears his name, the film-makers have press-ganged every spare ounce of Marvel muscle to back him up. The Hulk-sized gap in the lineup is filled by an engagingly geeky Spider-Man. And while memorising who is in which of the colour-coded, armour-plated exoskeletons can be challenging, the sheer force of so much superpowered personality on screen makes for a blast of a movie.

Andrea Bocelli, Opera Singer, September 22, 58 Italian tenor who lost his sight at the age of 12 in a football accident yet managed to overcome all difficulties to become a world-renowned Opera singer who has released 14 albums of pop and classical music.

Since then, the pair have had very successful careers as TV presenters winning multiple awards. Ricky Tomlinson, Actor, September 26, 77 First came to general public attention as Bobby Grant in Brookside as well DCI Charlie Wise in Cracker and Jim Royle in The Royle Family.

YOUR STARS SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) There is so much in you that is determined and looking forward to a fresh start, but something that you are trying to get rid of, or give up, may be giving you more trouble than anticipated. Some things have to be done alone, or so you think, but others have gone through this before you so they are able to give support. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Is playing the waiting game really to your advantage? Your Sagittarian character naturally leads you to be optimistic, and why not? CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) The enthusiasm of your bright Capricorn mind is also capable of making you restless. There are mixed feelings about being at or near home this week, with thoughts of more progress possible elsewhere. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) When you are at home this week I would like you to consider how you view your surroundings. This is a good week to make changes and have discussions about future directions. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Pat yourself on the back for all of your efforts of recent weeks. Looking back just a few months, would you have thought so

LIBRA

(September 24 - October 23)

As a home-loving Libran, you are torn between making changes to your surroundings and getting some cash in on the business side. Apparently, it is not possible to do both because energy levels fluctuate.

EURO WEEKLY’S SPACE FOR YOU TO TAKE A BREA

10-Star Quiz ALL ABOUT SHERRY 1. What is the name of the city/municipality in Andalucía that gives its name to the fortified wine, sherry? 2. ‘Sherry’ was the first UK Top 10 hit single for which US vocal group in 1962? 3. The heroine of which 1875 Bizet opera drank sherry at the inn of her friend, ‘Lillas Pastia’? 4. What breed of dogs were ‘Whisky’ and ‘Sherry,’ who were surprise Christmas gifts from the Queen to her children Charles and Anne in 1955? 5. What name is given in Britain to a large sherry glass, but in Australia, it is a name for a particular glass size, used for any type of beer? 6. What name is given to the yeast that is allowed to develop in a whitish film on the surface of dry (fino) sherries and similar wines during fermentation? 7. Which famous American actor was the voice behind the long-running Carlsberg ‘Probably the best lager in the world’ campaign and also promoted Domecq sherry on British television in the 1970s? 8. Which two-act comic opera by Gilbert and Sullivan, which premiered in 1879, features the song ‘Pour, oh pour, the pirate sherry’? 9. Which variety of sherry gets its name from the Spanish word for ‘chamomile tea,’ because the wine’s flavour is said to be reminiscent of such tea? 10. Which variety of white grape especially used to make sherry and fortified wines shares it name with a horse of light tan or golden colour with cream-coloured or white mane and tail? Not a lot of people know that… according to Guinness World Records (as of December 10, 2013) the most varieties of sherry commercially available is 293, achieved by Bar de Ollaria Ginza (Japan) in Chuo, Tokyo, Japan 1. JEREZ, full name JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA (although some argue that it originated in Shiraz, Persia), 2. FOUR SEASONS (FRANKIE VALLI AND THE FOUR SEASONS), 3. CARMEN, 4. CORGI, 5. SCHOONER, 6. FLOR, 7. ORSON WELLES, 8. THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE (or, The Slave of Duty), 9. MANZANILLA, 10. PALOMINO

Nonagram much progress could be made? Because of your efforts, home life is enhanced and you are more appreciated. Give yourself a break at the weekend and do something with a loved one that you have not done together for some time. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Rarely has your mind been as sharp as it is at the moment. There have been some awkward and downright bad periods in the recent past, but this week everything falls into place. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) For all of the things that you want to do, there are three others that you wish to do. Maybe they are waiting for their own time to come. During the course of this week you will be thinking of what the future could hold, even though dealing with practical issues. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) When it isn’t possible to change something, often it is just as effective to rearrange it. That is the solution which

comes to you this week. Instead of being frustrated at a delay, try changing the conditions or times. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) When we have long-standing friendships, these are often taken for granted and yet often we could make so much more of them. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Consider what is the most important thing to you at the moment? Is it wealth or social position? Your work, or how it may be possible to afford that new conservatory are minor considerations compared with your greatest asset which is your health. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) As the saying goes, ‘no one ever said it would be easy’. In the past few months you have found this to be true. Hard work is not alien to you, but there is a point where you want to shout ‘enough.’ It may be business or home life needs some rearranging, or that someone is moving job and the routine is severely disrupted.

How many English words of four letters or more can you make from the nine letters in our Nonagram puzzle? Each letter may be used only once (unless the letter appears twice). Each word MUST CONTAIN THE CENTRE LETTER (in this case W) and there must be AT LEAST ONE NINE LETTER WORD. Plurals, vulgarities or proper nouns are not allowed.

By Yuval Noah Harari WHAT poses the chief threat to mankind in the 21st century: financial meltdown, nuclear war or ecological disaster? The answer, according to Yuval Noah Harari, is none of the above. Instead our greatest existential challenge will come from the ‘techno-religion’ known as Dataism. Not convinced? Read on. Harari, an Israeli professor of history, first came to the world’s attention with his bestselling Sapiens, the 6,000-year story of how humans used consciousness and collective myths (such as gods and money) to conquer the world. Now, in Homo Deus, he explores what might happen when these old myths are combined with new ‘godlike’ technologies such as artificial intelligence and genetic engineering. The possibilities are - to put it mildly - terrifying. books@euroweeklynews.com

From tasty tapas to superb seafood and traditional roasts, Spanish food is all about making the most of the best local produce. 1 Gazpacho The freshest, ripest tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, bread, peppers and cucumber are blended until silky smooth, then left to cool in the fridge. It really is the most refreshing thing you can have on a hot day. In Andalucia, people have it every day in summer and there is always a jug on the counter in tapas bars. The variation of Gazpacho from Córdoba, Salmorejo, is a thicker version that is often served with slices of Serrano ham mixed in. 2 Paella In the Valencia Region, it is said that you could eat a different rice dish every day of the year if you wished. The most famous rice dish is of course the classic Paella Valenciana. The ingredients include chicken or rabbit, saffron, runner beans, butter beans, artichokes and a fair bit of tomato. Obviously the most important ingredient is the rice, with the bomba variant being preferred as it absorbs more. 3 Tortilla Española Eggs, potatoes, onions and that’s about it. Some may say that adding onion is a crime; others say it is absolutely necessary. The Spanish omelette is so much more than the sum of its parts. The potatoes and onions are slow fried in olive oil and mixed with the beaten eggs for the flavours to mix before cooking. Add chorizo and Serrano or whatever you have in the fridge to make a tasty meal out of practically nothing. 4 Garlic Prawns It’s not uncommon to walk into a bar to see the barman handing a customer a tapas dish of sizzling prawns. As soon as you can smell it you just have to order some for yourself. To recreate it at home, just fry some sliced garlic and green chilli in olive oil, throw in the prawns for a couple of minutes, add some parsley and serve piping hot. 5 Ham and tomato on toast The classic ‘Catalana’ is an extremely

GAZPACHO: People enjoy it every day in the summer. simple yet absolutely delicious breakfast. Toast some bread and drizzle it with some olive oil, spread it with fresh tomato and top it with a few slices of Serrano ham. 6 Patatas Bravas There are many variations of the staple tapas dish but they all have one thing in common; chunks of fried potato. In Madrid, bravas sauce is made with sweet and spicy Spanish paprika, olive oil, flour and in some places garlic is added, in others a dash of sherry, but of course, there are some that just won’t give up the recipe for their delicious take on the classic tapas dish. 7 Garlic Chicken Any true Spaniard always says the best garlic chicken is the one their grandmother makes, like so many other dishes. However if you don’t have a Spanish grandmother of your own, you can make your own version of this nationwide favourite. You need to fry unpeeled cloves of garlic in olive oil to flavour it, then take them out before adding pieces of chicken. Once the chicken is cooked, the garlic goes back in with some rosemary, thyme and some dry sherry or white wine. Feel

free to add your own twist to this dish as almost every Spaniard does! 8 Roast Suckling Pig or Lamb This dish is popular all over Spain and in Segovia you can find the best in the country, with restaurants doing daily roasts to be able to offer it to their hungry patrons day after day. The meat is cooked in huge wood-fired ovens and is so tender you can literally pull it apart with your hands. 9 Pisto A dish very similar to ratatouille, it’s very popular in the Madrid and La Mancha regions. Onions, garlic, courgettes, peppers and tomatoes are slow fried in olive oil, giving it time to absorb and blend all the flavours together. It is usually served as a starter, sometimes with fried eggs or chorizo, but is great as a side dish or even spread cold onto a slice of toast. 10 Turrón Turrón is eaten by the ton over the Christmas period, although it is available all year round. Most of it is made in the province of Alicante, in a small town called Jijona, using honey and egg white mixed with locally-grown almonds. There is a soft and hard version.

Save money for a slimmer waistline SAVERS are more likely to be slim. Researchers at Newcastle University made the conclusion following a study of health records of 12,591 Britons from 2010-11. They compared savings, income, marital status, and three measures of body fatness: Body Mass Index, percentage body fatness, and waist circumference. They found that the differences were more pronounced in women than men and for women, the waistlines of those who actively saved money were an average of 1.18 inches smaller than those who frittered away money. The report, which was published in the Social Science and Medicine journal said people should be taught the value of investing for the future, whether in savings or by healthy eating habits, rather than indulging their short-term desires.

Migraines

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. A migraine is usually a moderate or severe headache felt as a throbbing pain on one side of the head. Many people also have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and increased sensitivity to light or sound. Migraine is a common health condition, affecting around one in every five women and around one in every 15 men. They usually begin in early adulthood. What can cause migraines? A migraine is caused by abnormal brain activity, which can be triggered by many factors. However, the exact chain of events remains unclear. The changes affect blood flow in the brain and surrounding tissues. Migraines can also be triggered by any of the following: caffeine withdrawal, changes in hormone levels during the menstrual cycle, the use of birth control pills, changes in sleep patterns, alcohol, exercise or other physical stress, loud noises or bright lights, fasting, certain scents and perfumes, smoking or exposure to smoke, stress and anxiety. Certain foods can also trigger migraines. The most common are: chocolate, dairy products, certain cheeses, foods containing tyramine such as red wine, mature cheese, smoked fish, chicken liver, figs, certain beans, fruits (avocado, bananas, citrus fruits ), meats containing nitrates (bacon, hot dogs, salami, cured meats), onions, peanuts and other nuts and seeds and processed, fermented, pickled or marinated foods. Can they be prevented?

You can take measures such as avoiding all circumstances and foods that cause migraines, which substantially reduces the likelihood of an episode. Early identification of the signs that suggest an episode is starting and taking appropriate measures are the best ways to prevent progression. What can be done to lessen the pain? There is no specific cure for migraine headaches. The goal is to treat the symptoms of migraines immediately and prevent migraines by avoiding or altering things that can trigger them. If an episode persists despite making efforts to combat it then you should rest and take painkillers and muscle relaxants. Sometimes you can use certain drugs that can block the episodes in their tracks, which must be prescribed by a doctor. Can they be a sign of a more serious disease or condition? Overall, migraines are usually benign and produce no lasting side effects. However, it is important to consult a medical specialist when the symptoms appear, and to get regular check-ups.

Tea is a source of health and wellness THE history of tea has always been linked to health or the effects of this beverage in human health. The legend of the â€˜birthâ€™ of tea is directly linked to its virtues. Tea was consumed for a long time by the Chinese for its medicinal properties. Support for meditation and a reputation of prolonging life, it was equally appreciated by European doctors for its diuretic effects. One tea leaf comprises 550 elements; 9 per cent minerals 1-5 per cent of protein, vitamins B1, B2, B3, C, E and P and elements such as phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulfur and calcium, trace elements such as copper, iron, aluminum, manganese, molybdenum, zinc and fluorine. A true health cocktail! To maximise their benefits try the following, as well as drinking your daily cup or two of tea: To combat signs of fatigue make a cup of tea using a few tea bags and let it cool, apply the bags to your eyes for 10

minutes. To fight oily skin, prepare the tea using two tea bags in 50cl of mineral water, adding a squeeze of lemon. This lotion will diminish redness and will close enlarged pores. Covering your skin with an infusion of tea with sweet almond oil is said to prolong a tan. TEA: good for you on the inside and out.

Going back to work health SEPTEMBER is traditionally the month of the return to work, to school and to routine and, to some unhealthy habits. Poor posture sitting at work or school desks can cause back and muscle pains as well as problems such as poor circulation or tendinitis, among others. Applying a few simple tips will help prevent such problems that cause discomfort and pain: Move around When you are sitting in an office for half, or more, of the day, pay attention to movements. Get up and walk a few metres at least every 45 minutes and try turning the whole body to

Exercise can reduce risk of disease resulting from poor posture. keep it flexible. Get comfortable Personalise your work space to ensure you are at the correct height to the computer screen and correct proximity to it to prevent straining. The keyboard should allow your shoulders to be relaxed. Distribute weight Children can particularly struggle with heavy bags, but try and distribute the weight. Shoulder bags for ladies

can also cause neck and back injuries, so either periodically change which side you carry the bag or use a backpack to distribute weight evenly. Strengthen the muscles There are exercises to build strength and tone muscles, especially the lumbar and abdominal muscles which can reduce the risk of diseases resulting from poor posture. Activities such as swimming or yoga are very positive to promote a greater resistance to pain and a busy life.

Forget about hangovers! THE best remedies for hangovers are not found in chemists but in the supermarket. Orange juice is one of the best cures, as juices and fruits can mitigate pain. This is so because vitamin C and fructose help the liver to wash out the alcohol from the body, according to the British Medical Journal. Isotonic drinks will rehydrate your body. Alcohol

works as a diuretic and leads to dehydration. Isotonic beverages have electrolytes which help with rehydration and function better than coffee and tea. Milk is one of the many ways to improve liquids absorption, also very high in calcium, which can alleviate some of the symptoms of a hangover. Also good are eggs as they contain a high amount of cys-

teine which some reports say helps the body metabolise alcohol. Tomato juice holds a high quantity of electrolytes that will help balance the fluids in your body and get rid of the nausea and headache. Garlic, (cysteine) ginger (reduces the risk of vomiting), mint (anaesthetic) and bananas (vitamin B6) are other solutions to cure that problematic hangover and feel fresh.

Shoulder pain - big pain or a small problem? By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com FROZEN shoulder, rotator cuff, bursitis, impingement... shoulder pain can come with a lot of different names and root causes. But there are some common themes - difficulty raising your arm overhead, difficulty working or doing your sport, problems sleeping and, of course, pain! But what happens when you’re not making progress? When the pain and difficulty moving continues? Pain Perception I’ve spoken before about chronic pain and its biggest

symptom - Central Sensitisation. What exactly does this mean? A change in pain perception and / or intensity. Pain stimulus level is often lowered. In other words pain feels more painful. Why is the shoulder important? In the muscles and tendons of the shoulder, particularly the rotator cuff and supraspinatus muscles there are lots of nociceptor nerve cells. These are a particular kind of nerve cell that send ‘damage / danger’ signals to the brain. So a small injury to the shoulder activates a comparatively HUGE danger signal to the brain.

And the brain interprets danger as pain. So you end up with a huge amount of pain which doesn’t always correspond to a huge amount of damage. This Big Pain response makes treatment, particularly movement and exercises much more painful and difficult so people often don’t make progress as quickly as they expect. What to do Get treatment as quickly as possible, within 48 hours ideally. The longer your brain is receiving an onslaught of pain/danger signals the more work is required to lower that message. These pain / danger signals can also result in pain seeming to ‘spread’ and include the elbow and wrist. Tennis

Elbow and Carpal Tunnel like symptoms can often be related to a shoulder injury that wasn’t looked after properly. Don’t be dismissed - when you have a BIG pain / little damage situation, it can be easy to find yourself in the position of not being taken seriously. In an age where an MRI is the ultimate diagnostic tool, if there isn’t significant damage on the picture, the pain in the person can be ignored. If you aren’t making progress, get a second opinion.

A Surgeon’s Opinion

Getting you back on your feet FOOT pain can literally stop us in our tracks. Bunions, hammer toes, flat feet... all can cause discomfort, change our shoe choices and prevent us living the life we want. The complicated foot One quarter of all our bones are in our feet - 26 bones, 33 joints, more than 100 muscles, ligaments and tendons. That is a LOT of activity in a very small space. Precision is critical. It is also a place where we want to do the minimum of work and make sure that you are back on your feet, literally, as quickly as possible. Preservation not removal New techniques mean that we can minimise the intrusion into the foot, focusing on preserving and stabilising the joints rather than simply removing troublesome areas. By working with the foot we shorten recovery times and you reduce the chance of future intervention being required. Taking the time to properly assess you, we can choose the procedure which is the best fit for you. Hallux Valgus (Bunions): Rather than simply shorten the first Metatarsal (big toe) we can now realign and stabilise the toe to reduce the recovery

period. Hammer Toes: again, rather than just shorten the toe, we can reconstruct the Plantar Plate, the ligament in the ball of the foot. Fixing the problem at the source not treating the symptom. Flat Feet: previously treated with an arthrodesis or ankle fusion which reduces foot function and mobility. New techniques mean we can support the foot without such strong measures giving you more flexibility and stability long term. Hallux Rigidus (stiff big toe): another issue where arthrodesis was used, but a simple cheilectomy (joint cleaning) is sometimes all that is required, increasing movement and minimising the recovery period. Avoiding surgery altogether Surgery is a serious option. In some cases some straight forward, less invasive, preventative measures may be just as effective. A simple course of two injections, a month apart can relieve joint discomfort, even if it is arthritis. Avoiding the need for complicated surgery and recovery time while allowing you to go on with your life pain free.

OPINION & COMMENT

Halcyon days of jam 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.

AFTER 10 years in Spain, I have never lost my love for the English countryside; the quirkiness of our traditions and the incredible history of our islands. Nor during the long hot summer months here, have I lost the desire for my alltime favourite English cream tea, with freshly baked scones, home-made strawberry jam and thick lashings of rich clotted cream. I have enjoyed them in Berkshire, Devonshire and the Lake District. I’ve had them in Suffolk and Wales and once in a Japanese tea house in the Cotswolds. But it is still Cornwall that invokes my fondest memories. A bit like that first fumble behind the bike sheds, I have always remembered

MOUSEHOLE: Most memorable cream tea in a pub garden overlooking the harbour. my very first one, partaken in the town of Falmouth. The cream tea, not the fumble. It was such a tasty introduction to my new life in Cornwall, I immediately ordered another. A massive mistake. The fourth scone and jam

topped with a cushion sized dollop of cream, proved to be a step too far. I felt decidedly green as I made for the exit between tables packed with devotees, purposefully keeping my eyes averted, looking neither to jammy left nor creamy right.

It was a just reward for my gluttony. Although the ingredients for this most English of English delicacies can be obtained here in Spain, location is paramount in order to enjoy the experience to the maximum. And for me this means a country garden or

waterside setting in the Mother country. If the day is warm with a clear blue sky and our avian friends are in evidence singing their feathered backsides off, then we have my idea of perfection. My most memorable cream tea therefore was in a pub garden overlooking the harbour in the achingly pretty fishing village of Mousehole - pronounced Mouzal. We had sampled the famous Star Gazey Pie at lunch - the one with pilchards head-butting their way to freedom through the crust - and had decided that it would be a fine ending to the day to overindulge in a clotted cream tea. With the luscious platter set before us and the wonderful ambience created in that idyllic setting, it was a snapshot in time of an unforgettable interlude - and only slightly marred by the seagull poop on my polo shirt. Colin can be contacted by email on badbirdnow@ gmail.com.

Britain and Argentina agree John Smith Random thoughts... AFTER years of rhetoric from the former president of Argentina Cristina Kirchner claiming the Falkland Islands and threatening those companies who undertook business with it, the new Argentine government has taken a much more phlegmatic position and following a visit to Buenos Aires by Foreign Office Minister Sir Alan Duncan has indicated its wish to cooperate. This is the first visit by a Foreign Office to Argentina since 2009 and the minister met with a range of high level politicians including the President Mauricio Macri and Foreign Minister Susana Malcorra which has resulted in a joint statement between the two countries over the Falkland Islands. The two countries have agreed to work toward removing restrictive measures around the oil

and gas industry, shipping and fishing affecting the Falkland Islands in the coming months. Both delegations also expressed support for a project to identify the remains of unknown Argentine soldiers buried in the Falkland Islands emphasising the humanitarian nature of this work. None of the discussions or the statement in any way affects the

sovereignty of the islands and the UK remains absolutely clear in its support of the rights of the islanders. The statement sets out areas of closer co-operation for the two countries, including through increasing trade links, uncovering new investment opportunities, strengthening cultural ties, tackling corruption and organised crime, and increasing links in science and technology as well as encourag-

ing new and better air services. According to a release from the Foreign Office, Sir Alan Duncan said: “The UK and Argentina are building a positive relationship based on areas where we so clearly agree.” “Over the past two days I have held meetings which have helped us to reach agreements. The UK and Argentina have a broad relationship that goes beyond our differences.” “I am pleased we have agreed the Falkland Islands are free to set up flight connections with other countries in the region. A monthly stopover in Argentina will see a further arrangement similar to that which exists already.” Not only will this come as welcome news to the 3,000 Falkland Islanders but should be welcomed by the Gibraltar Government who are used to Argentina and Spain mutually supporting each other over claims of the sovereignty of the two Overseas Territories. It must be remembered that Argentina continues to be in severe financial difficulty and it may well be that it sees definite benefits in backing down over imagined sovereignty in order to reap the advantages of a closer relationship with the UK. Sir Alan Duncan and Susana Malcorra met.

Driving while on phone.

Keep safe on the road A FRIGHTENING report from the RAC in the UK suggests the number of people using handheld phones whilst driving has quadrupled in two years and it’s not just phone calls they are making but also sending texts and uploading messages on social media. Here in Spain, anecdotal evidence suggests that the situation is quite similar and because of the way that many Spanish people drive without using indicators, one has to be even more alert than in the UK. There is an added danger as so many Spaniards walk straight onto zebra crossings expecting that drivers will halt but if drivers are distracted by their phones there could well be an increase in accidents. The fact Spanish observe different driving customs to the British and other expats doesn’t mean their ideas are worse but it does mean we as visitors or even long-term residents should be aware of the road and the possible dangers. Recently the authorities have started to install special cameras on roadsides which supposedly detect those not wearing seatbelts or using their phones but if drivers in Spain are anything like their counterparts in the UK, they will either forget the cameras exist or assume they won’t be caught on film. Driving can be enjoyable for many and an absolute necessity for others but as more and more cars appear on the roads, it is absolutely imperative that everyone acts in a sensible manner and doesn’t take risks, especially when behind the wheel of what is potentially a lethal weapon. Always remember that no call or text can justify the potential death of yourself or another person.

tablishments that serve the best rice dishes. The 300-page tome details how well rice goes with so many foods including meat, seafood, fruit, vegetables, nuts and legumes and with 200 different examples which also blend in olive oil and local wines, there is

bound to be a dish for every palate. Recipes are sorted by chapter highlighting rice caldosos, honeyed, paellas, risottos, sushi and desserts from around the region picking specialities from different towns. The book also gives details of all of

the establishments which offer rice on a regular basis, be they gourmet restaurants or somewhere slightly less exalted, trattorias, beach bars and even hotel schools. If they offer good rice, they will be mentioned together with some of their best recipes.

Fernando Sánchez Gómez has a degree and doctorate in Journalism from the University of the Basque Country and for more details on this fascinating and useful book which costs €25 contact him on 629 044 574 or e-mail lacocinadelacritica@gmail.com.

OPINION & COMMENT

There’s a kind of a hush PEDRO SANCHEZ, leader of the PSOE socialists, is allegedly on non-speaking terms with some regional leaders. Although Sanchez was not everybody’s choice for secretary general, the present lack of communication is attributed to the absence of anything to discuss until the results of Sunday’s regional elections in Galicia and the Basque Region. It’s a foregone conclusion that Galicia’s current Partido Popular president Alberto Nuñez Feijoo will be re-elected, probably with an overall majority. In the Basque Region the PNV nationalist party is expected to squeak home but could need shoring up by other parties. Galicia and the Basque Region will tell Sanchez where he is heading and if voters continue to desert the PSOE as they did in December and June, it could be towards a door marked ‘Exit.’

Forgiveness is all BY doggedly refusing Mariano Rajoy the chance to form a precarious minority gov-

Sanchez claims that his refusal to abstain during Rajoy’s two recent investiture bids corresponded to the wishes of the party’s 190,000 paid-up members. PSOE voters would never forgive him for facilitating another Rajoy government, he declared. Meanwhile a Metroscopia poll shows that the PP would increase their share of the vote and parliamentary seats in a third election. Presumably the 190,000 card-carriers will find that easier to forgive.

ROSA VALDEON, the Partido Popular vice-president of the Castilla y Leon Region resigned after a breath-test following a scrape with a lorry. She was three times over the legal drink-driving limit but had only drunk two beers, she insisted. She won’t be the first politician to drive under the influence and won’t be the last, but fell foul of today’s dogma that politicians must do what voters demand but fail to do themselves.

Going it alone APPROXIMATELY 850,000 people attended independence rallies in five Catalan cities on Cataluña Day - La Diada - compared with 1.4 million last year. Despite the fall in numbers, regional president Carles Puigdemont pledged a referendum and to begin “disconnecting” within a year. Makes you wonder who wants independence most: Catalan politicians or the people they are supposed to represent.

Tennis legends in Marbella FOR those who enjoy quality tennis in a luxurious situation, the Senior Masters Cup 2016, which is being held at the Puente Romano tennis club in Marbella from September 22-24, is going to be the ideal choice. Some of the greatest tennis players of all time will be attending including the multi open winner John McEnroe, Yannick Noah, Mats Wilander and many more who will be competing for the prestigious title over three days with two matches being played on the Thursday and Friday and the final on Saturday with each match starting at 7pm or 9pm. This is the first time that John McEnroe has participated in the actual event although he has visited and enjoyed the Puente Romano in the past praising both its food and quality of tennis. On this occasion, master of cuisine Dani Garcia will be catering for VIP guests and on one evening, charismatic French tennis star Yannick Noah will entertain those in the VIP lounge with an exclusive concert. The Tennis Club at Puente Romano which was founded by Björn Borg in 1979 and was run for several years by Spanish champion Manolo Santana has previously held major national and international tournaments and is also the scene for occasional music concerts.

TORREMOLINOS PILGRIMS: Will ride on horseback through the streets.

IN ACTION: John McEnroe will play for the first time.

THE whole of Torremolinos is getting excited as the Romeria and Fair are imminent and both promise to be incredible events which will attract thousands of visitors. The Romeria which basically recalls farmers riding in from the outlying districts to parade through the streets as part of homage on this occasion to Saint Michael will start on Saturday September 24 with a display of vintage cars and a ride past by the

‘Distinguished Gentlemen.’ Then on the next day the pilgrimage to the shrine of St Michael is expected to attract 44 tractors with trailers and 19 ox wagons all of whom will compete for the title of best of the day with a mass to be celebrated at 5.30pm. This is now considered to be one of the most important and busy urban pilgrimages in Spain with thousands taking part on horseback, tractor and foot.

The fair will be officially opened at 8.45pm on Wednesday September 28 and there is an incredible range of activities running for the whole five days with performances from a range of bands including Jas Devael, La Guardia, Social Security, and Chambao. To make things easier for all, an English language version of the full programme of events can be downloaded from www.torremolinos.es/fe ria-san-miguel.

By John Smith AGE CARE hosted an informative talk entitled ‘Taking the Fear out of Death,’ at the drop-in centre which is held every Tuesday at the International Baptist Church in Calahonda. The talk was led by Leslie Thomson, who outlined some of the procedures when either dealing with the passing of a loved one, or preparations one can organise for themselves or others. He explained the differences in

the types of death certificates, and the importance of having copies of all your documents, and also not to sign anything you are not sure of. Another point was to let your friends and family know if you have any funeral plans in place, or your wishes.

Tip top work surfaces WORKTOPS come in many materials these days and although they are usually sealed and prepared to withstand use, they can become stained, scratched and otherwise damaged unless cleaned and maintained correctly. Even if you’re a world-class chef, some spillages in the kitchen are virtually unavoidable. Here are some top tips to clean the most common types of worktop found in Spain to keep them looking better for longer: Granite is a very popular and stylish material for worktops, however it can be damaged by acidic cleaning products and anything vinegar based. To clean, use only warm water, a conservative amount of soap and a wet sponge or soft cloth. Stainless steel is another fashionable work surface which, in this case, can be easily scratched if abrasive cleaning materials are used. To keep them spick and span, wash regularly with warm water and a little baking soda, drying thoroughly afterwards to prevent water spots.

Silestone worktops are very resistant. To keep them as good as new, use a mild household cleaner but, as with granite, avoid harsh cleaning products and always use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth to avoid scratches.

Cheap and cheerful formica also suffers if abrasive cleaners such as ammonia or bleach are used. A mild soap, soft cloth and warm water should be enough but always clean up any spills immediately to avoid stains.

Makes my blood boil Mike Senker

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man PEOPLE’S use of language these days can invoke the grumpiness in me. I don’t profess to be the most articulate or grammatically correct, but there are a few language habits that drive me nuts. Some people, when they finish every sentence, have to say ‘you know what I mean?’ You know what I mean? Of course I know what you mean! I absolutely know what you mean so stop asking me at the end of everything you say! And why start every sentence with the word ‘so’? What does that even mean? You don’t need to say it. It’s a waste of a word and oxygen! And what do you mean when you say something was ‘like’ it’? Either it is or it isn’t! It’s not ‘like’ anything. Example ‘It was like really raining.’ Was it raining or wasn’t it? Was something falling out of the sky that resembled rain? Makes no sense at all! It should be used when you enjoy something not to punctuate your chat as in ‘I like chocolate’ which Mrs S says all the time. Also, don’t use the word ‘basically’ as every other word in your sentence because

‘basically’ it gets annoying! Hearing someone say, ‘So, like, basically I went out for lunch and it was great you know what I mean?’ makes my blood boil. Now, if you really want me to give you the Mr Grumpy death stare, pepper your chat to me with the word ‘innit.’ Which actually is not a word, it’s ghetto speak and some people use it because they want to sound like they come from a tough neighbourhood and they survived. The funniest guy I ever met spoke like it all the time. Every other word he said was ‘innit man.’ It was bad enough to listen to his claptrap, but when I found out his parents were very wealthy doctors from Hampstead, in an upmarket part of London, and he went to a posh private school I had to ask why he spoke like he did. The answer was it was his way of being ‘cool’ and I had to tell him that he just sounded like a dickhead! But the most misunderstood phrases are women-speak. For instance, I’ll say to Mrs S, ‘I’m just going out to play poker, that ok?’ And she says. ‘Sure. Do whatever you want.’ Now for years what I heard was, ‘Of course darling, you go out and enjoy yourself.’ It wasn’t until much later I found out what it really meant which was, ‘Sure you can go out, you selfish git. But don’t expect anything to eat when you come home, if I’m even talking to you!’ Email me - mikesenker@gmail.com.

OPINION & COMMENT

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Child car safety AS part of the series, we answer some common driving questions and keep you updated on the latest driving and road news kindly provided by members of the Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.

CHILD SAFETY: Make sure you purchase the correct size and know how to fit it. RECENT changes to laws in Spain requires children measuring 135cm in height or less to travel in the rear seats of vehicles, irrespective of their age. They must also travel in the correct and approved seat appropriate to their size and weight. The use of the correct child restraint system reduces injuries by up to 75 per cent in the event of a collision. According to data from the DGT, road traffic incidents are the leading cause of death amongst children under the age of 14. Tragically, 40 per cent of those children who lost their lives were not correctly strapped in. Group 0 chairs are baby carriers used from birth for infants up to 10kg in weight and are placed with the baby facing the opposite way of travel to minimise possible injury in the event of a crash.

Group 0+ is a new category that extends the weight up to 13kg for children up to around 18 months in age. It is a back-facing chair to further protect the neck and spine. Group 1 for children between nine-18kg and approximately one to four years of age use seats strapped in via the seat belts of the vehicle and are always facing the direction of traffic. Group 2 for children aged three to six with a weight between 15-25kg. The child restraint consists of a booster cushion with backrest to provide protection for the head and uses the vehicle’s own seatbelts. Group 3 for children aged between five and 12 years weighing between 22-36kg can use a booster seat. When purchasing your child’s safety seat use a reputable retailer who can give advice.

BEFORE bringing home your new dog, introduce your new pet to your resident pet in a neutral area like a park. Keep both dogs on leashes for a short time. Be matter-of-fact but stay alert. If either reacts aggressively, consider getting a different second dog or none at all. Keeping two dogs that don’t like each other under control is a huge and dangerous task. After

a few minutes take the leads off and let them explore, walk away and keep quiet. Dog fights often involve a struggle between an existing resident dog and a new arrival, often of the same gender. As in a wild pack they have a hierarchy, with one being dominant. Respect this when introducing the new dog otherwise. Assess which is dominant and act accordingly. The dominant dog should be first when greeting owners, passing through a door or getting fed but shouldn’t mistreat the new pet. Reinforce your position by teaching dogs ‘down and stay.’ Giving them a ‘down-stay’ command while they’re side-by-side communicates it’s your house, and they’ll behave themselves here regardless of how they feel about each other. Put a new dog on a leash when meeting your cat. Don’t be too concerned over a good-natured cat-and-dog chase, but correct your dog when it happens. Ask it to ‘sit’ instead and praise compliance. If necessary, keep the leash on so you can step on it to correct mid-chase. Your cat will take time to adjust. Help by

ensuring doors and windows are open so the cat can escape and give a place to eat where it feels secure. Keep the litter box out of your dog’s domain. Put the dog on a ‘down-stay’ while you pet your cat; she’ll know she’s loved, and the dog will realise the cat’s not to be touched. Some cats prefer to adjust on their own. Try putting it in a room with food, water, toys, litter box and a scratching post. Open the door after a few weeks and let it decide how much it wants to interact. Keep a baby gate across the door so it can escape if it gets hectic. Consider a crate/carry case so the dog can sniff but the cat can feel secure. Seek professional help if you don’t feel able to teach your pets to get along. They’ll implement methods to help your current pet cope with the new arrival. Well-trained pets adjust better to changes and are easier to control when conflicts arise. Contact your vet or a trainer immediately if any of your animals react aggressively. Be alert and extra attentive while everyone’s getting used to each other and never let them forget who’s boss.

Take Barry for example, the tiny long-haired Chihuahua I cared for recently at a house-sit assignment. Barry was the smallest of the four rescue dogs in my charge, and it has to be said the youngest at only 18 months old. But in terms of impact within the dog pack he was probably the most dynamic, and the most protective little chap I have ever met.

CHIEF CHIHUAHUA: Barry is strong and fearless. Within that tiny frame beat the heart of a Napoleon, dogmatic and strong, determined and fearless. Where the other dogs might scurry around the house and garden barking to chase a car up the road from within their compound, Barry

would leap to the best window position and bark like crazy to direct the traffic. Then on arriving at the front door of the house he would be first in pole position to attack, defend and eventually welcome the newcomer,

playing guard and chief diplomat at the same time. Barry is ferociously loyal, he’d circle a newcomer until he was sure all was well, yapping and yapping to establish the rules on his territory. He was first in line for dinner, first in line for treats, and would swing by a second round in case any of the bigger dogs dropped a morsel on his watch. What a joy to petsit. Do you need a sitter?

Dog’s instinct vs intelligence In issue 1628, our resident columnist, David the Dogman, was criticised for his views on dogs and their ‘intelligence.’ Here, edited, is his reply: “I do not t rai n dogs, I teach pet owners to underst and t hei r pet f rom t he point of view of a pet, and not a hairy baby! If you think your dog understands your language I would like you to tell him that the next time he does somet hi ng bad or wrong you will have him put down. Now, according to you he understands so you and all those multi-millions of pet dog owners around t he world (once you let the secret out ) wi l l never have problems again! Thi s of course i s nonsense! Of course your dog knows when you’re unwell by your behaviour pattern and they know when i t ’s t i me f or a walk by various actions and sounds, etc. It’s proven by the police, fire brigade, diabetic alert dogs, rescue, taki ng dogs i nt o resi dent i al homes, sni f f i ng cancer, tracking, leading the blind and so much more that with the correct training our canine friends are brilliant and are able to assist people who suffer stress. Physiologically all of us would like to believe that our pets understand everything that we say to them. During the past 10 years I have run schools in Spain and have not allowed anyone t o speak or gi ve any kind of command other than hand signals to their dog which includes the exercise

of the recall. Dog’s nat ural i nst i nct recogni ses human body movements which become a language; tone of voice indicates the behaviour of the human. All training is based on positive reinforcement of rewarding with a treat. I find it very difficult to understand why so few dog owners can differentiate between instinct and intelligence. Instinct is an urge from within which makes a dog act in certain ways and has no connection with intelligence. I nst i nct can be strengthened, weakened or diverted, it cannot be put there and it cannot be taken away, it might lie dormant, but once developed it can never be weakened again.” I have a radio show every Saturday on Talk Radio Eur ope, t une in vi a h t t p : / / t a l k r a dioeurope.com/listen-live/ and m y own websi t e www.thedog man.net carrries around 1,000 articles.

CHARITIES ACE CHARITY “El Refugio” in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful

CLASSIFIEDS for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA.

Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 nfo@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875.

New BMW 7 series diesel By John Smith

admirable CO2 emissions together with intelligent all-wheel drive. The new 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line engine was developed on the basis of the BMW Group’s latest generation of power units. Its BMW TwinPower Turbo technology includes multi-stage turbocharging with four turbochargers and common-rail direct injection, the latest update of which generates maximum pressure in excess of 2,500 bar.

These and other technological highlights allow significant improvements to the already exceptional power delivery, pulling power and efficiency achieved by the outgoing engine. The new BMW 750d xDrive accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.6 seconds a definite increase over its predecessor. Thanks to a new design and technological improvements, engine output has increased by 5 per cent whilst fuel consumption drops by 11 per cent, although if you can afford this luxury car, perhaps you don’t care too much about running costs. All in all an impressive new car which is just appearing at dealers throughout Europe now. BMW motors

ACCORDING to BMW it has just launched the world’s most powerful sixcylinder diesel engine as part of its new BMW 7 series. An impressive spread of innovations mark the new BMW 7 Series luxury sedan out from the crowd.

These run from a Carbon Core body structure and BMW eDrive technology in the three iPerformance models to BMW gesture control and Remote Control Parking. Add to this the world’s most powerful six-cylinder diesel engine which has very impressive fuel consumption for a luxury car and

The new BMW 7 series in action.

Paris Motor Show AS usual, a number of manufacturers are getting ready to unveil new models and concepts at the Paris Motor Show which runs from October 1 to 16 at the exhibition centre in the Porte de Versailles and even those who have nothing new will be trying to encourage sales. From Abarth to Volkswagen, diesel, electric and petrol there will be a range of different cars to suit every taste and pocket together with a few flights of fancy which may never see the road but will certainly raise a few eyebrows. The latest craze is for selfdrive cars with the main manufacturers, plus a few unexpected companies like Apple and Google, experimenting with them and despite not being approved for use on roads there’s certainly a great deal of money being spent in developing them.

New Porsche Macan ACCORDING to Porsche, the best sports car in the compact SUV segment is their Macan which has set high standards of performance and driving dynamics since its introduction and now they are upping the stakes by introducing the Performance Package Macan Turbo which gives increased agility and an even better drive. With performance enhancement, the twin-turbocharged, 3.6-litre V6 engine delivers 324 kW (440 hp). The car now accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds and achieves a new top speed of 272 km/h.

PERFORMANCE PACKAGE: The upgraded Macan Turbo. It is not just the engine power that is given a boost in the Macan Turbo equipped with the Performance Package, it also has a newly developed

brake system, lowered body, controlled sports chassis, Sport Chrono Package and sports exhaust system that all come fitted as standard.

What’s more, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is available at the push of a button to deliver an exceptionally sporty position on the road. This system has also been optimally tuned to the body on the vehicle, which has been lowered by 15 millimetres. The Macan Turbo with Performance Package is available to order now. In Germany, the new top model costs €91,142.90 including VAT and country-specific features but potential owners in Spain will need to contact their nearest Porsche dealer for details of price and availability.

‘Faceless and pathetic’ BRITISH Olympic hockey gold medallist Sam Quek has denounced the Russian hackers behind the latest divulging of personal athlete medical information as ‘faceless and pathetic.’ Taking revenge on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) which was instrumental in banning Russian athletes from the Rio Games, the hacking group known as ‘Fancy Bear’ accessed the organisation’s medical records and has accused prominent British stars of doping. A total of 26 athletes were named in the revelations as benefitting from therapeutic use exemptions (TUE’s) which allow Olympians to use normally

prescribed substances for legitimate medical problems. Examples include the drugs found in asthma inhalers and anti-inflammatory treatment for injuries. There is no claim of illegality but the revelations of the scale of TUE use has cast a shadow on the sport to the fury of the athletes mentioned, who have after all followed the rules. Those named include Mo Farah the British double gold medallist in Rio, golfer Justin Rose, rower Helen Glover, cyclist Bradley Wiggins, hockey star Sam Quek and her teammates Alexandra Danson and Crista Cullen. Spanish tennis legend Rafael Nadal is also named in the leaks.

Nadal has twice been granted a TUE for knee inflammation, Farah was given one after collapsing during a race, and Wiggins received three for allergies. Seemingly innocuous the news could hardly have come at a worse time for the athletes and governing bodies. Nadal has already fended off doping accusations from the former French sports minister, while Farah has been questioned over his links to two controversial coaches with a murky doping history. This week doctors described Wiggins’ use of drugs under medical exemptions for asthma and hay fever as akin to using a ‘sledgehammer to crack a nut’.

TOP ATHLETES: Including Mo Farah are again being accused of doping.

Meanwhile WADA has come under fire from Olympic officials who have accused it of ‘letting down the sports movement’ amid concerns that it may be punished for pushing too hard on the Russian doping scandal, while the International Olympic Committee has in turn been described as ‘spineless’ for allowing some Russian athletes to participate in the Rio Games.

Ron Garrood MIJAS GOLF is one of the most commercial golf resorts on the Costa del Sol, with two walkable courses Los Olivos and Los Lagos. Los Olivos opened in 1984 and was refurbished by Cabell Robinson during the season 2000 – 2001, following Trent Jones’ original design concept. Slightly shorter than Los Lagos, Los Olivos is most notable for the multitude of trees which its name comes from. With fewer water features, the 18 hole course is nevertheless very challenging.

ONCE again Benavista Bowling Club had the honour of hosting The Costa Del Sol Summer Championships. The event comprises four disciplines: the mens and ladies singles, the pairs, the trips and the fours. A good entry was achieved despite it being so early in the season. Some skilful bowling was apparent and enjoyed by the spectators and participants alike. There was the whole spectrum of weather as we know it – from a heat wave to a pleasant breeze to even a little rain. The ladies singles was won by Marie Foletti from Benavista. She has made a welcome return to bowling and brought her girls along too. Very refreshing to have some new blood! The pairs finalists were Bill Davies and Neil Marshall against Eleanor and John Morgan both from Benavista... that was a strange game. Neil and Bill

The trips final went right to the wire with Margaret and Gordon Kain from Miraflores winning by one shot, after playing an extra end, it was very close. Commiserations to Wendy and Barry Pemberton from Benavista. The final discipline was the fours. This proved an exciting match between Malcolm Greenwood, Barry and Wendy Pemberton and Ella More from Benavista and Craig and Sandra Lewis, Jeff Turner and Bill Gregory from Miraflores. Miraflores won in the end after Benavista battled back but just couldn’t get enough points. Thanks to Infinity International for sponsoring the event, Richard Welton for organising, umpires, markers and the girls for feeding and watering everyone, including Diane Needham, and of course, the spectators without whom there would be no atmosphere.
