Animals endured ‘slow and painful’ deaths By Matthew Elliott Thousands of cats and dogs were left to die a ‘slow and painful death’ at a Torremolinos animal care centre, a Malaga court has heard. Carmen Marin and her employee Felipe Barco presided over a dungeon of brutality where 2,200 animals met their deaths. Her animal park claimed to provide shelter and medical services to abandoned pets and stray animals, but was actually engaged in a mass killing campaign characterised by stark cruelty, the prosecution say. From 2008 until Marin’s arrest in 2010 the pair allegedly injected the animals, many of them completely healthy, with euthanasia drugs neither were authorised to administer. Experts from the Veterinary

College of Malaga believe they intentionally plied the animals with small doses to save money, leaving them to ‘writhe in pain for hours.’ No sedatives were given. Photos taken by the Guardia Civil graphically illustrate the conditions and the dead animals but are too

distressing to print. Ms Marin has vigorously denied the claims in court. She describes herself as an animal lover who wouldn’t even clip their toenails and said she has many well looked after pets at home. One defence was an allergy to needles. She also says only 283 ani-

mals were killed during her tenure, all of them legally. Marin and her family have also been investigated for allegedly spending donations to the park on holidays and spa treatments. Prosecutors are demanding a four-year prison sentence and the verdict is due this week.

What does a Donald Trump presidency mean for you?

Your papers, your views Our readers have been expressing their views about the new president-elect Donald Trump.

www.euroweeklynews.com Here are a few comments some of which have had to be cut due to size. We are always happy to hear from everyone.

Death warrant TRUMP may bring us into uncharted territory but the status quo was unsustainable. You can’t have millions of immigrants without some kind of backlash and here we are. The EU signed its own death warrant with the open border system. People just aren’t ready for it. April

Last hurrah I AM Dutch and many of my countrymen and women don’t consider themselves to be of any nationality. If humanity is to ever reach the stars then nations and nationalism will have to disappear. Trump is the last bark of a dying dog. Jasper

Interesting times TRUMP VICTORY: Spells upheaval for the EU and globalisation. By Matthew Elliott DONALD TRUMP and Barack Obama may be polar opposites but Americans voted for them for essentially the same reason – change. The difference is that, while Obama represented change in the colour of his skin and a message of hope, Trump spells upheaval for the EU and globalisation itself. Projects like the European Union are anathema to the Trump message of ‘America First.’ In this sense the US has arrived a little late to the party. There is a tide of nationalist populism sweeping across Europe, coming in different guises but with fundamentally the same message: ‘make your own country great again.’ Trump is prone to exaggeration but he wasn’t being indulgent when he described his victory as ‘Brexit plus plus plus.’ It’s no coincidence that Nigel Farage of the UK Independence Party was the first foreign politician to meet the new president-elect. Trump’s election was met with outrage and panic in Brussels. By contrast France’s anti-immigration, antiIslam, anti-EU party, the Front National, celebrated with the message ‘Their world is crumbling...Ours is building.’ Who are ‘they?’ The target is clear. Anyone involved in international projects and trade deals. Brussels bureaucrats, the jet-setting corporate class, politicians, those seeking to transform the world ‘the people’ grew up in. Brexit and Trump’s victory lend credibility to the idea the EU project has been a catastrophic failure; the

Questions of cross-border healthcare, pension plans and tax will take a backseat as the EU and Europe is forced to confront its very identity.” continent is heading in the wrong direction; immigration, neo-liberalism, single currencies, open borders, and multiculturalism have been terrible mistakes. Whether or not you supported Brexit, it was striking that during the campaign the pro-EU message was lacking in hope and positivity. The Remain campaign was based on warnings; that it was stupid, backwards, racist, dangerous economic suicide to leave the EU. In a world dominated by advertising that was sheer folly. People needed to hear a message of self-empowerment, strength and positivity; that things are going to get better, not for African immigrants or gay couples, but for them, and their community. The new battle in Europe will be over who can best express that message. Will it be the anti-establishment socialism of Podemos in Spain? Or the ethnic nationalism of Alterative for Germany? Either way the picture doesn’t look good for the EU. What Trump’s success means is that expats hoping for a ‘soft-Brexit,’ or even a reversal of the referendum result, shouldn’t hold their breath. The question is no longer ‘what kind of deal will Britain sign with Europe?’ It is ‘will the EU survive?’

The rules of the game have changed because the entire post-war consensus has broken down. Instead of two dozen countries with shared values forming an ever closer union, we have powerful antiEU movements in England, France, Germany, Hungary, Sweden, Slovakia, Austria, and Holland. The same strain of nationalist populism has been unleashed by Putin’s Russia since the turn of the millennium, and has now seized the greatest prize of all - the White House. That’s not to say World War III or 21st century fascism is upon us. Clearly things had to change. Perhaps we really were sleepwalking into the abyss. But in this brave new world the old priorities no longer hold sway. In a populist climate the interests of expats are about as important as those of illegal immigrants. Questions of cross-border healthcare, pension plans and tax will take a backseat as the EU and Europe is forced to confront its very identity. EU civil servants will go into survival mode as movements across the continent actively try to cut down its infrastructure. That will be music to the ears of millions of people who will think they are slaying the beast. But for expats it could mark the demolition of decades of essential legislation that underpins their life abroad. Expats are at risk of becoming stateless people with no polling booth to go to, no body of law to point to for help. Post-passport souls adrift in a world where identity suddenly counts more than ever. Trump’s victory shows nothing should be taken for granted. A grand sentiment to be sure, but a very dangerous one for the EU.

SAY what you like about Trump. He’s a charlatan and a fraud but at least he will shake things up a bit. Of course that will probably be at the expense of us all but eight years of Clinton? How very dull! Kerry

Plan B TRUTH is that the EU is great for expats and cheap travel but not much else. We can’t expect the gravy train to continue if the majority of people in England, France, etc. are sick of it, whatever their reasons. Time for a backup plan methinks. Mark

Art of the deal I FOR one welcome our new American overlord. As long as he doesn’t go around invading countries I’m sure we’ll get along just fine. Clinton was all set to go to war with the Russians but ‘The Donald’ seems like a man who can strike a deal and let Europe get on with it. Kev

Hot pursuit leads to massive drug bust By Sam Croft GUARDIA CIVIL officers seized nearly a tonne and a half of hashish from a boat which ran aground near the Guadiaro River. A police vessel spotted the suspicious looking boat making its way through the open sea towards a coastal stretch in Estepona’s municipal boundary. Several police boats followed the vessel as it made its way towards Sotogrande and San Roque. Anticipating that the boat was moving toward the shore, a police presence was set up on the ground. The boat attempted to evade capture but it merely ended up running aground near the mouth of the Guadiaro River. The police officers on the ground pounced upon the vessel, and discovered 48 packages of hashish stashed inside. One man was arrested after attempting to make a run for it across the beach. The boat was reportedly of Moroccan origin.

POLICE PURSUIT: On both land and sea.

Parents jailed after baby dies A YOUNG couple from Malaga have been imprisoned in Alhaurin de la Torre following the death of their three-month old baby girl. Her 26-year-old father had earlier presented himself at the casualty department of Malaga’s Maternal and Children’s Hospital with his daughter in his arms, but tragically she had

already passed away. Having examined the body, doctors immediately detected signs of malnutrition, neglect and possible physical mistreatment, leading them to alert the police. An autopsy subsequently concluded the infant had died due to ‘physical trauma,’ in particular a head injury. On arriving at the parents’

home, officers discovered ‘quite consistent indications’ that the couple had mistreated their daughter, with their flat in ‘a state of abandonment.’ The family were living in a tiny studio in the Puerto de la Torre district, with clothes and footwear piled on the floor, mixed in with toilet paper and ‘filth,’ plus three dogs.

Neighbours reported they often heard the mother, aged 20, crying at the baby or shouting at the dogs, and one said: “One day the two of them [the parents] left alone at 2pm and did not return until 9pm.” Investigators seized various items from the property as they attempt to discover how and when she was being fed.

PERI-URBAN PARK: Plans to include gardens, a running track, bike lane, roller skating area and a climbing wall.

Prospective park plans By Sam Croft MIJAS is planning to construct the biggest peri-urban (a mixture of urban and rural characteristics) park in the province. It will occupy a space of approximately 350,000 square metres, meaning it will be nearly twice as big as the Parque de la Paloma in Benalmadena. The project is expected to cost some-

where between €3.5 and €5 million and will be located in the El Ahogadero area of Las Lagunas. It will be accessible via the road that goes to the racetrack as well as the one which leads to the old Camino de Coin. The park will have two entrances and three parking areas. Additionally, this highly ambitious project will also include gardens, a running track, a bike lane, a

roller skating area and a climbing wall. There will also be a big lake with boats and a bridge, fountains, an auditorium, an open-air amphitheatre, as well as hobbit and gnome houses and aquatic attractions in a large children’s area. The work will be mostly financed through the town council, which will seek additional funding from local entities and associations.

THE manager of Humanline Banus Hospital in Marbella confirmed the doctor who performed a liposuction procedure on a woman who subsequently died was not a contracted employee of the private clinic. As reported in Euro Weekly News, edition 1636, the 46-year-old victim underwent eyelid reduction and liposuction on her arms, and was initially scheduled to return home the same day or following morning. In a statement, the hospital remarked the surgeon in charge of the operation was “outside the team of medical professionals who comprise the staff of the centre, a very common practice in private hospitals.” The report also said that the woman was “aware and talking to the professionals in attendace,” during the procedure, but that she “abruptly suffered an acute event.”

LONG AWAITED: The AVE line from Bobadilla to Granada.

AVE line could be complete by the summer of next year By Sam Croft IN the first week of November 2006, the Spanish national government, led by José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, awarded the construction work for the first stretch of the AVE line from Bobadilla to Granada. The work has therefore been underway for a decade now and remains unfinished. This means that the construction of the line has now taken longer than the conventional railroad, which was built over a period of nine years between 1865 and

1874. All this despite the fact that the old railroad was obviously constructed using much more primitive technology. Talks to build the AVE line date all the way back to 2000 when José María Aznar was in power. Its development has been plagued by numerous setbacks. Early on, archaeological discoveries were made along the route. At another point the work was paralysed for a year because it was threatening an aquifer. Regardless of which party was in charge, the work has been slow going.

However, Mariano Rajoy seems to have given the project a shot in the arm. The Ministry of Development has announced that the work will be finished by next summer and that the train will be in effect as early as autumn of next year. This would allow passengers to travel from Malaga to Granada within an hour. Despite the fact that 90 per cent of the stretch has now been completed, it is likely that many people won’t be holding their breath, given the railroad’s track record.

MALAGA City Council is continuing its work in removing Francoist symbols from different parts of the city. In the most recent endeavour, 30 plaques and tiles were taken down from the sides of buildings in various neighbourhoods. In some cases, the symbols are completely removed, whereas at other times, such as with street names, the council opts for changing the name to something more appropriate. In fact, the Municipal Committee for Historical Memory hopes to soon arrive at an agreement with the University of Malaga to trace the identities of all people whom have streets in Malaga City named after them. This way any names with Francoist ties, even faint ones, will be removed and replaced with something more sensitive.

LANDSLIDE PREVENTION: Mesh and bolts will be used to stabilise the ground.

Back on solid ground SOME renovation work is being carried out in Mijas, specifically in the Vial Sur area near the Donkey Taxi

stables. The work is aiming to stabilise the ground in these areas to prevent potential landslides from occurring in

the future. The work has been given an execution period of a month and a half and is expected to be finished by the end of December. It will cost approximately €40,000. In the Vial Sur area, the ground will be stabilised through the placement of mesh which will be held in place with bolts. Meanwhile the Donkey Taxi stable will be remodelled with limestone in an effort to give it a more unique and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

plosives “that required the work of an expert” used to blow open the former, and gas the latter. The British pair, who have not been named, were detained

during a 4am raid on a property in Calahonda on Wednesday, November 9. Investigators also seized what is described as “a lot” of cash, electrical wiring, gas canisters, and hand grenades “in perfect condition,” plus unspecified amounts of cocaine and marihuana. The other two detainees are both Spanish, and include the owner of a vehicle workshop in San Pedro de Alcantara who is suspected of supplying the acetylene gas, plus another who is thought to have acted as an intermediary. Further arrests may be imminent with a Spanish woman currently under investigation, while homes in Ronda and Coin have also been searched.

Lithuanian kidnapper arrested in Marbella A 33-YEAR-OLD Lithuanian man was arrested by officers of the National Police under a European Arrest Warrant in Nueva Andalucia near to his residence. The man who has been previously arrested in Spain in 2002 and 2012 for crimes committed in Spain was recognised by officers whilst walking along the street near his home and when he was asked to show identification, it transpired he had false documentation,

so he was arrested. The Lithuanian authorities advised Spanish police the man was arrested in 2011 when he was allegedly involved in the kidnapping and subsequent beating up of a 13-year-old who was seized off of the street and held for ransom. During the minors incarceration, he suffered terribly from cold and frost bite. It is expected that following a court hearing the man will be returned to Lithuania.

Police harvest chestnut thieves

CITIZEN COLLABORATION: Was vital in a number of the theft cases. By Eleanor Hawkins THE Guardia Civil arrested five people under its antiagricultural theft campaign in the Ronda hills in September and October. The arrestees, caught in Igualeja, Pujerra, Cartajima, Parauta and Farajan, are suspected of having stolen almost one tonne of chest-

nuts during the harvest period. With an aim to reducing thefts in the sector, increasing security and preventing crime, officers have interviewed a number of farm and warehouse owners and staff and local authorities, leading to the arrests and recovery of many stolen chestnuts, the police force

reported. In fact, officers said, citizen collaboration was vital in a number of the theft cases they worked on. All the Ronda area Guardia Civil units plus members of Seprona, the force’s nature protection branch, the air unit and Malaga’s Citizen’s Security unit were involved in the campaign.

Debt on the downswing THE municipal auditor in Torremolinos has verified that as of June 1, 2015, the town had €197,020,805 worth of debt, and that €87 million of that had not been properly recorded in the accounts by the then-governing PP council. The town hall has thus released a statement indicating that “in only a year, the current council has reduced the municipal debt by €16 million, meaning that it now sits at €180,942,971.” In a dig at the previous governing team, tax

councillor Maribel Tocón stated that the PP council’s poor money management was made “patently obvious” through the auditor’s report. She argued that “this €87 million worth of hidden debt is now being paid by all the citizens of Torremolinos” and pointed out that these leftover debts have led to difficulties for the current council when it attempts to map out future budgets. Tocón indicated that the auditor’s findings were made public as part of the council’s ongoing commitment to transparency.

Is it legal to use the same lawyer for conveyancing, divorce etc.? By Antonio Flores Abogado/Lawyer LLM (Essex) Reg. Nº 4712 I.C.A. Málaga E-mail: aflores@lawbird.com Homepage: http://belegal.com/blog-by-antonio-flores

www.lawbird.com

THIS question often arises in our office when parties to a legal matter decide to use the same lawyer. Typically, one will encounter property conveyancing transactions or rental agreements, company formations by several investors, mutually agreed divorce settlements, etc. In some jurisdictions, the law considers that parties to a legal process are generally adversarial – in other words, it’s

one party and the legal representative versus everyone else involved in the transaction – and therefore, each party has to be represented separately. In England, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has stated that acting for both buyer and seller on a transfer of land for value is ‘indicative’ of a potential conflict of interest. The Code of Conduct for Lawyers in the European Union states that lawyers may not advise, represent or act on behalf of two or more clients in the same matter if there is a conflict, or a significant risk of a conflict, between the interests of those clients. In Spain – barring any conflict of interest – the Lawyers’ Deontological Code does allow one lawyer to act for two parties, under the following terms: Art. 13.4: The lawyer cannot act for two parties with conflicting interests. In

case of conflict of interest between parties represented by the same lawyer, the latter will cease to act for both unless expressly authorised by both parties to act for one. Notwithstanding, the lawyer can act on behalf of all parties as a mediator or in the preparation and drafting of contractual documents, having in such case to observe a strict and exquisite impartiality. This applies to the law firm but also to member lawyers that work in or are associated to the law firm (Art. 13.7). These lawyers will not be considered, individually, as independent representatives of each client but as one single representative and will fall under the scope of article 13.4 above. In summary, Spanish laws do allow parties to engage the same lawyer in a ‘mediator’ role, as explained above.

Wading through the doom and gloom BREXIT PAGE By Matthew Elliott and Simon Firth

STEERING a path through the doom and gloom is getting increasingly difficult. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, not one to shy away from speaking up, talked of the UK making a “Titanic success of Brexit.” “We are taking the machete of freedom to the brambles of EU regulation,” he told his audience at The Spectator magazine awards in London. Catching himself when reminded this was one ship that sank, he said: “We are going to make a colossal success of Brexit.” Where to start? An expert in electoral law has now complained to the Crown Prosecution Service that the British public was misled by the campaigners from Leave.EU and Vote Leave. Professor Bob Witt believes “undue influence” was exerted on the electorate by groups who “knowingly” misled voters, principally

How much Paris or Frankfurt will grow in power two years after Article 50 is triggered will be of great concern. Foreign firms invested in the UK because its skilled workforce would not have to be paid as much as their German counterparts and because their goods would sail through any tariffs imposed on goods from countries outside the EU. One of the biggest of those foreign firms is Nissan which has been building cars in Sunderland since the mid-1980s. So alarmed were they that they demanded, and were granted, a special audience with the British government. A deal was struck to keep them happy but only a select few know what it was. Presumably, a UK government suddenly unhindered by EU fair trade rules has simply pledged sufficient ‘grant aid’ to offset any tariffs imposed by the EU on Nissan’s cars. The Japanese government admits openly now that it has not been able to discuss the consequences of the Brexit deal with anyone inside the EU who is not British. While Nissan may get the assurances it needs, foreign banks in the city of London are known to have at least half a finger on the eject button. The attitude of one D Trump to the UK could be the key to London’s continued status as a global financial city or its demise into a clearing house off the coast of France.

A community reserve is it necessary? Community Law Corner By José Luis Navarro Solicitor for Intercala Administration

joseluis@intercala.com www.intercala.com

with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches

THE answer is yes, every community should hold a financial reserve by law. The Law of Horizontal Property, the law that governs communities throughout Spain, makes this clear in

section 9. 1. F stating owners must contribute according to their individual share into a community reserve which should be no less than 5 per cent of the last annual budget. The reserve fund is to be set aside for emergency maintenance, repair and where necessary rehabilitation. It can be used to pay for an insurance policy or an ongoing maintenance contract which protects the community property. The initial idea of this reserve was to oblige communities to hold back 5 per cent

of each annual budget to build up sufficient funds for unforeseen situations, like emergency repairs. In fact, the finished legislation actually only requires communities to retain funds amounting to a minimum of 5 per cent of the current annual budget. Therefore when 5 per cent of the current budget is still held in the reserve from previous community contributions then there is no legal obligation to feed the reserve by 5 per cent every year and consequently no annual increase. Put in perspective on a budget of €40,000 for an apartment block, the required reserve is only €2,000, of course communities can and do save more. Supposing the community actually needed to spend some of the reserve on emergency repairs and the amount in the reserve fell to less than 5 per cent of the

current budget. Theoretically, unless the community held an insurance to cover the costs or had a maintenance contract ensuring the upkeep of the community property, the president should call a meeting to approve an extra payment by the owners to cover the deficit.

The reserve fund is to be set aside for emergency maintenance, repair and where necessary rehabilitation.” In reality, this is not usually the case, as it is understood the 5 per cent reserve must be approved in the budget at the next annual general meeting. However if the community spends the reserve on something other than maintenance and the reserve drops below 5

per cent, the community may be vulnerable. The law is not clear but to be safe rather than sorry, the president should by rights call a meeting to approve an extra payment to cover the shortfall. This way if something should happen, especially if it involves a third party, the community, the president and the administrator, who should have informed the president, have fulfilled their legal requirements and cannot be accused of negligence. It’s true some communities do not keep this reserve as they should, whereas others have a reserve surplus well above the required 5 per cent. It is quite normal and perfectly legal for communities to invest this extra money. Approval to invest the money can be given by a simple majority of owners or in the case of a second calling, by a majority of the owners

present or represented, owning a majority of the community property. It is important to mention, that once paid, the reserve fund belongs to the community and none of the owners are entitled to ask for their share to be refunded, as sometimes happens when property is sold. The community is not obliged to give back any money to any owner, no matter the amount the community may have on deposit with a bank, in a current account or in any other investments. Of course there may well be tax implications on any investments which will have to be declared on Spanish taxation form number 184. This we may discuss in a future article, until then we the solicitors for Intercala Administration advise the readers of our monthly article to seek competent advice in all matters concerning the law.

Italian fugitive nabbed by police By Sam Croft NATIONAL POLICE Officers in Marbella have apprehended a 53-year-old Italian fugitive. A European Arrest Warrant had previously been issued by the French authorities for the man, who was sentenced to 10

years in prison in France for selling illegal products, belonging to a criminal organisation, fraud, and money laundering. The man was seen by officers in the area of his residence in Marbella. Once they had verified his identity, they arrested him. According to the European Arrest War-

rant, between 2009 and 2011, the man belonged to a criminal group which was dedicated to carrying out large-scale scams, as well as bringing dangerous and prohibited items across borders. The organisation reportedly went door to door selling various unregulated and illegal products.

The monitors are now being delivered to local schools, with each school averaging 10 according to their needs. The El Albero primary school received its screens earlier this week, to the satisfaction of the head teacher Maria del Campo Pozo: “This is a very positive donation and we are very grateful to the town hall,” she said.

Cocktail bar murder A SPANISH man was stabbed several times and left to die on the streets near a popular Malaga bar. The 44-year-old was found dead outside the Tropical bar, formerly the La Penúltima, in Arroyo de losÁngeles avenue in the capital city. He had received five stab wounds to the chest four of which were reported to be from behind. The bar, which is very close to the maternity hospital, immediately became a crime scene as the man was pronounced dead and the officers tried to ascertain the events leading up to the attack. The deceased, identified and known to have a criminal record, was taken to the Institute of Legal Medicine (IML) of Malaga, where two forensic doctors examined the body before reporting their findings to the authorities. Police have focused their investigation on locating any witnesses as well as seeking any security camera images from local businesses that may have captured the attack. A few months previously another stabbing was reported at the same location. A young South American man was stabbed whilst still in the bar but fortunately made a full recovery. His attacker was found and charged with causing serious injury. After this attack the owners of the venue changed its name to Tropical.

Organised crime groups are now big business in Spain Photo Credit PhotoMarine/Shutterstock.

By Sam Croft EXPERTS from the Guardia Civil and the National Police have indicated that there are 440 organised crime groups currently operating in Spain, out of the 3,600 which have been identified in all of Europe. Of the ones in Spain, the police have indicated that at least 10 of these are labelled as ‘high intensity’ groups, meaning that they have at least 20 members, have been operating for more than three years, are transnational, and are ‘polycriminals,’ in that the members of the group are typically involved in one main criminal activity but are also linked to others. These are the heavy-hitters of organised crime, with large and complex networks that extend across borders. They tend to operate like discreet business enterprises, maintaining a convincing air of legitimacy on top while carrying out their illicit transactions underneath.

ONGOING BATTLE: Police man a speedboat in Alicante. On Monday November 7, police in Mallorca arrested a well-known Spanish businessman. This ‘respectable’ 40year-old, who has a wife and several children, had forged a career running seven businesses supposedly dedicated to construction and slot machines. But hidden under this veneer of respectability there in fact existed a complex money-laundering network work-

ing in tandem with a drug trafficking operation which had apparently been operating on the island for ‘at least three years’ according to police reports. This elaborate crime network brought an average of 150 kilos of cocaine to the island per year, which was later distributed by subcontracting a long-established gypsy drug gang. Overall, seven people were arrested

for their ties to the criminal group, which is only one of many similar organisations currently scattered throughout the country. Although a great deal of them operate out of Madrid and Barcelona, they are also prevalent in touristic areas such as Malaga, Alicante, Valencia, and the Balearic Islands, where they can live better and camouflage themselves more easily. The majority of these criminal groups are dedicated to drug trafficking and fraud, although there are organisations revolving around everything from illegal immigration to prostitution to burglaries and car theft. On the other side of the coin, police experts have argued that the concept of the mafia - understood as large family organisations which have infiltrated public institutions - is still not a driving force in Spain. Smaller examples of this phenomenon may be witnessed from time to time, but nothing on the scale of some other European countries.

Water levels cause concern More checked, more snatched

EL LIMONERO: Local reservoirs are beginning to contain dangerously low water levels. By Eleanor Hawkins WHILE tourism figures continue to rise and those in charge have been singing the praises of the sector at the World Travel Market in London, Malaga Province is facing big problems if nothing happens to change the current situa-

The two men became involved in an argument which quickly turned violent. The accused apparently took a bottle and delivered a hefty blow to the other man’s face. Meanwhile, the victim’s parents were on their way to pick up their son when they saw what was occurring. They rushed to his aid, and pulled him into the car, but the aggressor apparently went after them, hit the mother hard in the chest, and banged furiously on the car. The shaken family took their son to the hospital where he received stitches for his wounds. His mother was also treated for the blow that she had received. The victims then went to the police and reported the crime. The police soon found the presumed perpetrator of the attack and took him into custody.

SEIZED ITEMS: Included drugs, money, a vehicle and mobile phones.

Busted family business By Sam Croft A DRUG trafficking gang has been broken up by National Police officers in Malaga City. The group was made up of four men and a woman, all of whom are members of the same family. One of the individuals is reportedly a minor. Officers have seized 600

grams of cocaine, two kilos of hashish, a vehicle, and more than ₏75,000 in cash. Additionally, they confiscated various items, including bottles of rum and gin, containers of asparagus, mobile phones and jugs of oil. The investigation initially kicked off after the police became aware of an increase in incidents of petty theft in su-

permarkets. The officers were eventually led to two residences on Calles La Union and Heroe de Sostoa where the family had allegedly set up a small-scale black market where they exchanged drugs for various items. The individuals have now been handed over to the appropriate judicial authorities.

Traffic problems under discussion

HISTORICAL CENTRE: The council want to reduce traffic on the Puente Nuevo bridge. By Eleanor Hawkins RONDA Council has announced its intention to reduce traffic in the historical centre and on the Puente Nuevo bridge by 80 per cent next year. Traffic and Safety councillor Paqui Gonzalez reported last week on a study on the traffic in the town, which revealed that Ronda, with 450 cars per 1,000 residents, has more traffic than the rest of Andalucia and Spain.

The initiative, which is already seeing strong opposition from businesses in the San Francisco district who feel they will be left isolated if traffic is banned on the bridge, aims to preserve heritage and encourage use of bicycles and public transport. The San Francisco district suffers particularly from a lack of parking and public transport, the councillor explained, while Puente Nuevo bears the weight of 11,000 vehicles per day.

Guardia Civil officers also confiscated 122.2 kilos of marihuana buds during the bust, which took place in the municipalities of Benadalid and Jubrique, near Ronda. The investigation initially began in July, when officers pulled over a van after the driver committed a traffic violation. His nervous attitude led them to suspect that perhaps the road was being used as a route for drug shipments. They began to pull over other drivers and their suspicions were soon confirmed when they flagged down a van which was loaded with 91 kilos of marihuana, completely ready for consumption.

Human trafficking group disbanded MAJOR CRACKDOWN: More than 100 people have been arrested. By Eleanor Hawkins THE Spanish National Police force, in collaboration with Europol and Belgian, French, Polish and British authorities, has broken up a criminal group believed to have helped at least 6,000 Ukrainian immigrants enter the UK illegally. More than 100 immigrants were arrested at Spanish airports including Barcelona,

Madrid, Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza, Girona, Murcia, Santander, Tarragona, Tenerife, Bilbao, Malaga, and Alicante during the first stage of a joint police operation which began early in 2015. The authorities had noted that somebody was helping Ukrainians enter the UK since stricter entry requirements were put into place and upped surveillance at airports in Europe.

The group, whose leader was arrested in Barcelona in possession of more than 100 fake Polish ID cards and passports, helped immigrants enter the Schengen Zone then housed them in Spain, France or Belgium for a while before sending them to Dublin. Further arrests of suspects were made in Romania and Poland and three European arrest orders have been issued.

Public boozing a non-issue for most parents By Sam Croft NINE out of 10 parents turn a blind eye when they are informed that their teenaged children are caught drinking in public. At least this is the information provided by members of the Local Police in Malaga City. When underage drinkers are caught red-handed, their parents soon receive a letter in the mail notifying them of the incident. Parents then have the option of calling a phone number if they want to find out more. Inspector Juan Ortiz, who is in charge of the Investigation and Protection Group (GIP) of the Local Police, said that the lion’s share of the parents are indifferent to these letters. He notes that this could be due to alcohol being socially acceptable and parents not viewing it as an issue. Letters are also sent home when teenagers are caught under the influence of drugs in public, although the protocol is slightly different in these cases. Since 2010, the Local Police of Malaga City have sent out 1,489 letters to parents informing them that their children have been consuming drugs or alcohol in public. Ortiz has pointed out that there is no clear trend in regards to age, neighbourhood, or family structure, and that regardless of the context or severity of the incident, parents would be advised not to ignore these warnings.

It was in 2015 representatives of the bank decided they wanted to commit to a local charity so they chose the Butterfly Children Charity DEBRA. As a result they raised €20,000 for the Butterfly Children Charity through their annual golf event. This significant amount gave the charity the confidence and ability to continue supporting the Butterfly Children and their families all over Spain. Inspired by the success and sense of solidarity ABN AMRO continued their fundraising efforts into 2016, by organising ‘Birdies, Bubbles and Butterflies’ at the stunning La Reserva Golf Club, Sotogrande. True to form they did not disappoint, many kind and generous guests attended, raising €22,222!

Remembrance Day service COIN Cemetery Chapel was filled almost to capacity by 11.30am on Friday November 11, when members of the Coin branch of the Royal British Legion gathered together with friends to pay their respects to the servicemen and women who lost their lives in conflict. The congregation was in awe of the Tapas choir who started the service by singing a selection of very moving songs. The mayor of Coin, Fernando Fernandez Tapia-Ruano, and his fellow councillors were spellbound and complimented the group on their performance. The branch chairman Jo Taylor

started the service by making the point that Remembrance did not need a religious label and that people from every faith, as well as non-believers, could pay their respects to those who lost their lives in conflict. The branch’s chaplain Caroline Macfarlane led a poignant service with the theme of forgiveness at its core. On a beautiful sunny day everyone’s spirits were truly lifted by an amazing all-round effort by the Coin Branch, and in particular Rosie Mahoney who led a team of poppy florists that decorated the chapel beautifully.

VEHICLE REPAIRS: Are easier with original parts.

Repairer network exclusively uses OEM parts OEM parts OEM parts are Original Equipment Manufactured parts as made by your car’s manufacturer. They are brand new, usually more expensive and sometimes take longer to order. But they are a no brainer. Body shops love them because they fit perfectly and are easy to install. Línea Directa only uses OEM parts Línea Directa is the only insurance company that guarantees the use of OEM parts in their repairer network. Thanks to an exclusive purchasing and distribution agreement with the major manufacturers, when you repair your vehicle through its exclusive network of body shops and repairers, they guarantee the use of OEM parts. After vehicle repairs are complete, they send a list of the OEM parts used for you to keep in your log book. It’s one less thing to worry about. Do all insurance companies use OEM parts? At the time of publishing this article, no other insurance company in Spain guarantees the exclusive use of OEM parts in their repairer network. Some insurance companies rely on aftermarket parts

and used parts to keep the repair costs to a minimum, only paying for OEM parts if no other parts are available. After-market parts are parts made by a company other than your vehicle’s manufacturer. They are new and the spec should be very close to the original specs. However, some minor fitting adjustments may be required by the body shop. Used parts come from the scrap yard. Cars involved in accidents, engine trouble or age, mean that scrapped cars will have some working parts, which can be resold. The used parts are usually OEM parts. National network of body shop repairers Using the Línea Directa network to repair your car means more than just OEM parts. The whole repair service is handled from start to finish. Your vehicle is collected at the agreed time and place. The repairs are carried out swiftly, efficiently and according to original manufacturer specs.

COLIN R TURNER: His book is a simple recipe for a better world beyond money. DUBLIN-BORN author and broadcaster Colin R Turner has been causing quite a stir since the release of his second book ‘Into The Open Economy’ in early October. The 92-page mini-book soared to the Amazon top 10 within a week of its release and has already secured Turner a regular slot on RTV’s Marbella Now TV programme. Turner, now living in Fuengirola, describes his book as “a simple recipe for a better world beyond money.” He explains: “Imagine for a moment that money and trade were not requirements for your existence. It does’'t take much to see the myriad of problems that would be solved overnight if that were the case. “There would be no more poverty or social inequality, for example. No more reckless destruction of the environment to turn a profit. All the associated problems of greed, competition, corruption and crime would become almost non-existent. “But, most importantly, we

We can do anything we want, it’s not just possible, it’s actually really easy.” would each be able to live richer, happier and more connected lives, with less stress, while being able to reach our fullest individual potential.” He continues, “There’s no doubt that the rewards of a money-free world would be immense, so maybe it’s time for us to consider the question: is a world without money possible? “Of course it’s possible!” Colin states. “We can do anything we want. And it’s not just possible - and better - it’s actually really easy, by collectively changing our habits and expectations just a little. “Technology and automation have made the day to day business of providing for ourselves easier than ever before. But we are not sharing in that bounty because our trading ideology

prevents it. It is entirely possible to provide for everyone’s basic needs today, but we are stuck in a centuries-old habit where we feel we must trade in order to progress. Once we defeat that habit, amazing things will become possible.” Turner’s debut novel F-Day: The Second Dawn Of Man, released in July of this year, presents a fictional dramatisation of events leading up to a money-free world. Also an Amazon top 10 seller, the five-star rated thriller gives a compelling visualisation of a near future utopia, and there is also talk of a movie. Turner concludes, “It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster ride since releasing F-Day in July. It turns out there is a huge appetite -not just for this story but for change. It’s almost like everyone knows this kind of seismic change is coming. The market system we use only works for a relatively small percentage of people, and people are now starting to realise that for themselves.”

MASSIVE BLOW: To the business as New Year approaches. THIEVES stole more than 10 tons of caviar from a Moscow business worth more than €300,000 by sneaking through a fence and funnelling the packages back underneath. It is a massive blow for the business ahead of New Year’s celebrations where many Russians splash out in style on the delicacy.

Self-immolation THE mother of a Russian pilot imprisoned by the Americans has threatened to set herself on fire unless he is soon sent home. Konstantin Yaroshenko was arrested in Liberia accused of drug trafficking and taken to the US without any formal extradition procedure. His lawyers maintain his innocence and claim he was effectively kidnapped.

He was among the first to congratulate the new president-elect on his victory, while a Russian nationalist party popped champagne bottles in the Duma. Trump is perceived as being more favourable to Russian interests, especially over Ukraine and Syria.

THE Spanish Economic Minister Luis de Guindos appeared before the European Parliament in order to explain the actions being taken to bring the economy back in line with Union expectations.

UK housing A REPORT from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) issued just prior to a government review of the situation suggests that the volume of housing available within the UK is insufficient to meet demand.

Changes afoot but knickers are safe ALTHOUGH respective chief executives of Marks and Spencer (M&S) have been fighting flagging sales for years, they have always found some comfort in the fact that food sales were good and ladies liked to buy their underwear from the store as it was long-lasting, unlikely to break at an embarrassing time, good value for money and some ranges were quite sexy. As long ago as 2008, volatile and voluble TV journalist and host of University Challenge Jeremy Paxman made a public complaint about the lack of support in the gusset of his M&S underwear and there seems to have been a been a downwards spiral ever since. Now it has been announced that the company will close 30 of its UK stores and convert a further 45 into food only establishments and other stores will see a massive reduction in

M&S UNDERWEAR: The Autograph range is to be kept. the amount of space devoted to both clothing and homewares which are proving to be a drag on the overall business. This could be the start of a major sea change at M&S as

their new CEO Steve Rowe has made it clear that he wants to increase the number of outlets offering profitable food lines and reduce by perhaps as much as 100 the number of

stores selling non-food items. It follows that this will then probably spell an end to expensive Christmas TV promotions which have matched celebrities such as Twiggy and

Myleene Klass with glamorous young and old models. Put simply, younger consumers are attracted to cheaper clothes from brands such as H&M, Matalan,

Primark and Zara where they can often buy two or three outfits for the price of one in M&S and older customers seem to be drifting away from buying their clothes in-store, preferring internet purchasing and their furniture is really very expensive. Some clothing brands will be phased out and it is intended to make a strategic withdrawal from its overseas shops which have not performed as well as hoped or expected in a number of countries although successful stores in Hong Kong, Ireland and for some reason the Czech Republic will be kept. It is estimated that all of these changes could cost up to £200 million (€228 million) but will be needed if the company is to reverse the regular drop in quarterly profits that it has seen for a number of years.

HAVING postponed a number of official journeys overseas due to the fact that there was only an interim government in place, King Felipe VI travelled to Saudi Arabia between November 12 and 14 ostensibly to discuss the situation with regards to the construction of the Medina to Mecca high speed train line which is due to open at the beginning of 2017. When a consortium of Spanish businesses, including OHL, Talgo, Adif and RENFE, won this contract worth more than €6 billion after much lobbying by the government and former King Juan Carlos, this seemed like a shot in the arm for Spanish business and prestige, but all of the planners overlooked one little problem that any British train expert could have warned them about: sand on the rails! In a c o u n t r y t h a t i s c o v e re d in s a n d , which often blows around, when it settles on rails, especially those laid on ballast which settles and shifts, the performance of the trains is reduced and in some cases they simply don’t run.

€1.5 billion is the estimated cost to fix the shifting sands problem on the Medina to Mecca high speed train line that is due to open in 2017.

There are containment walls but they are not actually stopping the sand and it is estimated that it could cost as much as €1.5 billion to fix the problem and OHL have made it clear that they contracted to build the line, not maintain it. The consortium is hoping that the Saudi’s will agree to pay this extra despite the fact that the contract allows for no overruns and includes a €1 million a day penalty for any delay in operating the trains over the 125 kilometre distance between the two cities, hence the visit from the king. Spain has recently been very successful in

obtaining major overseas contracts but as was recently shown with problems with over-runs in the Panama Canal expansion, Spanish companies are not yet too clever at meeting deadlines and negotiating contracts which include penalties for non-performance. Also up for discussion is the provision of five corvettes for the Saudi Navy at a cost of €3 billion which are to be produced by the Spanish company Navantia and if the previously agreed contract is signed during the visit there will be guaranteed work for 2,000 staff over a five year period in two of the company’s Spanish yards. This deal has not been without criticism due to the actions of Saudi Arabia in Yemen but the potential financial gain for the country is too much to ignore, assuming that the Saudi’s still have enough money to pay for the corvettes.

Black Friday is fast approaching

BARGAIN HUNTERS: Black Friday draws in large crowds of shoppers.

By John Smith AS the American economy began to recover slightly following the Great Depression of 1929, some enterprising businesses in 1932 decided that in order to try to boost business, they would offer special sales on products on the Friday following the Thanksgiving public holiday which is always the fourth Thursday of November and this year, that date will be November 25. In America, that day has popularly become known as Black Friday and whilst it may give the impression of being a negative title like Black Wednesday of 1992 in the UK - when Britain had to withdraw from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism – it was simply coined back in 1961 as a comment on the number of people and cars that appeared on the streets on the special discount day and then became synonymous with store accounts moving into the Black. Many people, take the Friday as a ‘Puente’ (bridge) that we recognise here in Spain in order to ensure a four day weekend and be-

Spain has come a little late to the party, but major chains and even some local stores are likely to participate but often simply offering percentage discounts rather than some juicy cuts on individual pieces seen elsewhere.” cause of the number of people who are at something of a loose end, many take the advantage to go shopping and start their Christmas present buying. For decades, this phenomena was kept the other side of the Atlantic but as more and more US corporations became involved in owning businesses in Europe and the UK in particular, so the concept of Black Friday moved over and now it is yet another excuse for sales in the UK. Amazon, the online multi store group are launching their version on November 14 and their Black Friday runs for a whole two weeks.

Walmart which owns ASDA makes sure that there are a number of bargains in store but in previous years there has been chaos as consumers arrived hours in advance of opening, pushing and fighting in order to grab the relatively small number of real bargains in store. There has actually been quite a lot of negative reaction to the concept of people literally fighting each other in order to get cheap consumer goods and some stores have turned their back on the concept. However there is always someone ready to dream up a bright alternative and now we also have Cyber Monday where other companies offer their goods at discount online with the down side being your computer might crash but at least you won’t be crushed. Spain has come a little late to the party, but major chains and even some local stores are likely to participate but often simply offering percentage discounts on items of clothing and electrical goods rather than some of the juicy cuts on individual pieces seen elsewhere.

US election was a‘no-brainer’ LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT I DON’T think I need to say how relieved I was to see Trump elected last week. What puzzles me is why, with my favouring of Trump and also the ‘Brexit’ vote, I received a virtual Tsunami of ‘scoff ’ mail, (some most unpleasant) but letters of support were extremely thin on the ground? My point is, that with both my parties of choice obtaining a substantial majority, why did I not receive at least a reasonable amount of mail agreeing with my views? Was it because the ‘pro’ voters were ashamed, or even a little afraid to vent their true feelings in public, or was it yet another glaring example of the silent majority hiding its light under respective bushels? Whatever it was, for heaven’s sake, if you feel strongly enough about a subject, even though it appears unpopular, shout your views

NO DOUBTS: At least Trump wasn’t reading from an idiot board full of empty rhetoric. from the rooftops. This is why favourable results are so laborious, it’s also why the polls get it so

wrong. It’s always the whiners and gripers who shout the loudest. Never be worried that your views

may not be looked on favourably by friends and colleagues. Speak up, you may find that there are far

more supporters of your opinions out there than you ever imagined. And so to Trump. To me the selection was a no-brainer. The choice between a proven arrogant liar, supported by an equally proven lying spouse (‘I did not have sexual relations with that woman’), backed by an incompetent president, who helped Islamise the planet more than anyone since the Umayyads, (and ironically gained a multitude of votes for the Trump camp every time he opened his mouth), left me with no doubts at all. Sure Trump made a whole host of questionable statements in his orations but at least he wasn’t reading from an idiot board, full of clichés and empty rhetoric supplied by scriptwriters. And don’t worry, they haven’t elected another ‘Spectre’ figure with his finger hovering over the red button. Congress and the Senate will have far more influence over his decisions than they would have had over Clinton. Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

Enjoy it while you can Rajoy Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene

MARIANO RAJOY dispensed with the services of oh-so-pious Jorge Fernandez Diaz, Minister of the Interior, who despite daily Mass planned to trap, frame and shame Catalan Secessionists. Minister of Foreign Affairs Margallo, with some very strong feelings on Gibraltar, was clearly another goner. It was also on the cards that Minister of Defence Pedro Morenes would leave the Cabinet. Apart from these changes and some younger faces, Rajoy remains in his comfort zone. He should enjoy it while he can. Albert Rivera, leader of Ciudadanos whose votes enabled Rajoy to return to the Moncloa, has already predicted that this legislature will be ‘short and bad’ unless the president keeps the 150 promises in their pact.

Erring knight errant IT’S usually the US cavalry that gallops to the rescue at the eleventh hour, but this time it was the other way round. The PSOE’s defenestrated secretary general Pedro Sanchez rushed to the other side of the Atlantic to assist heroine Hillary Clinton against dastardly Donald Trump. Trouble is, Sanchez’s own election record isn’t stunning and the downhill racer, not satisfied with putting the mockers on the PSOE, did for Hillary too.

Since this looks impossible, Ciudadanos would also be outside their comfort zone according to the latest polls. Rivera might be Spain’s most-highly regarded leader, PEDRO SANCHEZ: but the party does less well Rushed to assist than it deserves and in anothHillary Clinton. er election would slip still further.

‘Our Friend Miss Flint’

MEET THE CAST (L to R): Sue Sullivan, Harry Tristram, Keith Johnston Harris, Maggie Parker, John Parker and Loma Rodgers. TOPS society in Alhaurin el Grande are producing a play Our Friend Miss Flint on December 2 and 3 at Asfahal on the Poligono la Rosa. It is a comedy written by Donald Churchill and Peter Yeldham and directed by Marjorie

Arthurs, basically about a tax fiddle! “No one minds a bit of a fiddle. We all try to pay as little tax as we can and who hasn’t walked through customs at Dover over the limit on the duty free? But a crafty bottle of Gordons is one

thing... me paying Miss Flint £40,000 is another!” Tickets can be purchased at papelerias Martins and Christinas for €8. Food will also be available on the night for an additional €7.

Cosped, Partido Popular secretary general, former president of CastillaLa Mancha and no friend of the vastly powerful vice-president Soraya Saenz de Santamaria has her ministry at last and is Minister of Defence. Unfortunately for her this gives institutional clout but no political power and will be so hard to combine with her role as secretary general that she’ll eventually have to relinquish the post. Round one to Saenz de Santamaria as usual.

Ricocheting stones PODEMOS senator Ramon Espinar bought a protected apartment in Madrid for €140,000 and months later sold it for €175,000 without ever occupying it. He sought permission for the sale as regulations require but implied that he was not making a profit. Peanuts compared with other politicians’ mega-scams but Podemos, the scourge of the corrupt, now occupies the glasshouse of the public eye and needs to stop throwing the first stone.

Nicole King celebrates 100 editions of Marbella Now By John Smith

the Triple A charity, Georgina and Andy Shaw, Fiona Catchpole, Line Lyster, Dillyz and a host of other members of the Marbella community. Nicole was in sparkling form moving from guest to guest, escorted by her husband Bobby and following their arrival, guests were invited to enter the main bar where they were served with drinks and substantial canapés (for which John Thomson and his hard-working team are to be congratulated) whilst being entertained by the voices of the ever more popular Mr Math and Simmone. Apart from her work on radio and TV, Nicole organised the first ever ‘United Nationalities of Marbella Now Summit’ at the Laude International College in San Pedro in March of this year to discuss key issues with the international community in Marbella and a further summit is planned for 2017. When congratulated on the fact the TV programme was celebrating its centenary, Nicole said “It’s certainly been a labour of love” and said how delighted she was that so many people from many communities and disciplines had taken the time and trouble to join her. Although she and Bobby spent some time in Madrid, they are well established back in Marbella where Nicole grew up and not only consider themselves proud Marbellís but enjoy promoting the city locally and through the RTV Marbella website. It is easy to warm to Nicole King when you meet her as she is so genuinely cheerful and bubbly, always looking for the positives, yet ready to espouse good causes and charities as well as spending a great deal of time promoting a spirit of community. Mi Marbella is on 107.6FM from 4pm to 6pm Monday and Wednesday and repeated 8pm to 10pm on Tuesday and Friday.

IT hardly seems possible that the vivacious and irrepressible Nicole King launched Mi Marbella, the first English language radio show on RTV Marbella in collaboration with the Marbella Town Hall some two years ago, and she then followed it up with Marbella Now, an English TV magazine weekly programme on RTV Marbella, which airs on Thursdays at 7.30pm. With her mission to try to entertain and educate English-speaking viewers about the wonders of Marbella she relies on a series of guests both locally resident and visiting in order to keep each episode fresh and interesting. Something must be working as on Tuesday November 15, she was delighted to welcome a huge number of present and former guests as well as sponsors and supporters to Joe’s Bar in the exclusive Puente Romano Hotel to celebrate the 100th edition of her TV programme. With an estimated 140 nationalities in Marbella, a large percentage were more than happy to attend the party which was sponsored by insurance company Linea Directa and as each person or couple arrived, she was on hand to have her photograph taken with them. Amongst those spotted at the reception were Princess Marie Louise of Prussia and Count Rudi von Schönburg, Michel and Steven Euesden, Kristina Szekely, Council and RTV representatives, Patrick Grant lawyer and regular contributor, Giles Brown and Steph Miller from Talk Radio Europe, Lily van Tongeren from

Michel and Steven Euesden (above) with Dillyz and Nicole King. (Right) Bobby and Nicole King.

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

A NEW reality has dawned. To the east, a hostile Russia. Now to the west, an isolationist USA, seemingly uncommitted to NATO or free trade (inasmuch as can be gathered from Trump-speak). And yet, in such extraordinarily challenging times, the UK is turning its back, for good, on the EU... As far as Brexit is concerned, once the UK government has decided what its approach will be, surely it needs to get a mandate from the whole country to take this forward? Theresa May would demonstrate true leadership by swallowing her pride and not triggering Article 50 until she has this. And one simple way to accomplish this? Call a snap general election. While referendums leave many voters feeling robbed, general elections not only clear the air, but also force all parties to

Christmas at the Kempinski Hotel NEW EuroWeeklyNews advertisers The Kempinski Hotel Bahia in Estepona on the Costa del Sol has established itself as a firm favourite in the area as a great place to celebrate Christmas and New Year and has a wonderful programme of events to enjoy throughout December. The festivities begin on Saturday December 3 at 4pm with the traditional Christmas market. Guests will be welcomed with a glass of mulled wine and can visit many stalls with artisan and gourmet products and Christmas gifts. At 7pm a children’s choir will sing carols and Santa Claus switches on the lights of the Kempinski’s Christmas tree, making this moment even more special for everyone! The Kempinski is a great place to dine over Christmas. Highlights include their sumptuous Christmas Eve dinner at the Alminar Wine & Steak House, including a

draw up manifestos and make pledges on which the winner would be held to account. So, Mrs May, never mind your promise not to go for an election before 2020, break it for the sake of the people and welfare of the country. To deliver the Brexit that people voted for, you need both your own mandate and, given your tiny majority, more parliamentary room for manoeuvre. Go for an election and shut them all up. It may even get rid of Corbyn, shut that windbag Clegg up permanently and stop Blair sticking his oar in. With a national consensus behind you, you would then be free to start divorce proceedings with the EU. With one proviso, however. A senior EU official involved in the Brexit negotiations has warned the UK about spoiling the EU’s grand 60th anniversary bash next March: “ T h e B r its ha ve be e n w a rne d NOT to send the Article 50 letter to o clo se to the big pa rty on March 25.” Good to know they have their priorities right, eh? Maybe Article 50 should be sent by DHL courier on the Ides of March

welcome drink and five delicious courses with live classical music from the tenors Il Divo. The following day there is a Christmas Brunch, with delicious food, a visit from Father Christmas, childrens’ entertainers and live jazz with the Red Jazz Band from 1-4pm.

will be marked with the Spanish tradition of eating 12 lucky grapes and plenty of Champagne. The party will continue into the early hours with a premium open bar, late night tapas and dessert buffet, music and dancing. Sore heads will be soothed and the festivities continue the following day with a delicious New Year brunch with live jazz from the Red Jazz Band until 4pm.

DONALD TRUMP: Favours America first.

Costa del Sol Crusaders win By James Riley IT was another thrilling day at the Cartama oval where Costa del Sol Crusaders CC won the game by seven wickets against Malaga on Sunday November 13. CC Malaga won the toss and elected to bat, and started well with some powerful stroke play, however they were pegged back by some tight bowling by Adam who took 4-30 and Jamie with 1-37. The fine bowling continued with wickets falling at regular intervals. Special mention must go to Shaan with 3-9 and CRICKET: Played in Harry with 3-33. Malaga continued with their attacking strokeplay throughout, but the loss of wickets and excellent catching and captaincy by Matt Davey which kept them in check only posting a total of 124 of 21.3 overs (35) In reply two wickets fell early

with strong bowling by Malaga captained ably by Asif, but some good contributions by John 30(32) Jasper 47(31) not out Egan Dantis 28(37) not out saw the Costa del Sol CC home with 15 overs to spare. the right spirit. Both sides played entertaining cricket in the right spirit and enjoyed the hospitality of the Cartama oval. The club is always looking for new players of all ages, especially children.

OPINION & COMMENT

First responder 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.

CALL FOR HELP: Then stay with anyone injured and keep them calm. Locate the place of the accident by street, house number, kilometre point number and briefly let them know what has happened. Try and inform them, to the best of your knowledge, the number of people injured, the number of vehicles involved and if there are any special circumstances such as a person trapped in a vehicle, or if it has fallen into water. Wait for the controller to confirm the details before hanging up. 112 responders speak multiple languages including English. Assist: Assist as much as you can but if you are not a trained first aider, try not to move the injured as this could add to injuries. Do not give them food, drink or medication or allow them to move on their own, simply stay with them and keep them calm. You should always remain at the scene until the emergency services say it is ok to leave.

Extra hire car insurance? I AM a Belgian resident and my car insurance allows anyone with a valid EU licence to drive my car. Why then, when I hire a car in Malaga, do we as a married couple, with the same address, have to pay more than five euros per day for additional driver insurance? We have hired cars in Spain and elsewhere for over 30 years and it is only in recent years that this has become compulsory. Is this just another trick by the car hire companies to get yet more money from holidaymakers? What is the law? Would it be legal to refuse to pay this? E. W. (Mijas Costa) There is no Spanish law which prohibits this annoying practice by car hire firms. If you refuse to pay the extra charge for an additional driver, the car rental company can refuse to

Disaster on the cards

LEGALLY SPEAKING

THE PAS is a system based on the first response to a situation. ‘Proteger, Aviso, Socorrer’ or ‘Protect, Advise, Assist.’ In the event of witnessing a traffic accident it is important to know what to do. This cannot only save others lives, but also your own and it is based around the emergency response steps of Protect, Advise and Assist. Protect: Protect yourself first and foremost. If stopping following an accident, park your vehicle in a safe place and wear your reflective vest before getting outside your car. Protect the accident site as you would if you broke down, and place warning triangles around to make other drivers aware. If a vehicle is on fire or has signs that it is transporting hazardous goods, keep away. Advise: Call 112 immediately and give them as much information as possible to ensure the emergency services are on their way.

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I AM lucky enough, in addition to this column, to have a grumpy half hour on Talk Radio Europe every other Friday at 11.30am. I sometimes do Viewpoint too, a more sensible phone-in discussing current events like Brexit and the USA elections. After this week’s results in America I’ve got the hump. Not because Trump won, I didn’t think either were any good, but because yet again the so-called ‘experts’ got it wrong. All the opinion polls said Hillary would win. The polls were not just wrong but so wrong it’s a joke! If I was anyone that had commissioned a poll I’d say I want my money back because they hadn’t done their job properly. Millions are spent on opinion polls what a total waste of money. Right up to when the first results came in they were still saying Hillary would win. How do they get it so wrong? I’ll tell you how. People lie! It’s not rocket science. Lots of people don’t want to admit they are sympathetic to the rubbish Trump sprouted or believed the lies Boris and Farage sprouted. Opinion polls said the UK would vote to stay in Europe. Well guess what, they got that

wrong too. In my opinion all opinion polls should be banned. Let whatever happens, happen. What purpose do polls serve other than speculation? The whole idea is so Joe public know how the country is thinking and may be voting. It might even influence you. Well folks, it is all a load of bull****. I sat for hours watching CNN, BBC and Sky News programmes, listening to all these socalled experts and pollsters saying that this was going to go this way because 53.6 per cent were going to vote this way. But they didn’t did they you useless bunch of idiots? If anyone asked me I wouldn’t tell them the truth. It’s nobody’s business how I vote. If I want to tell anyone, I’ll tell them in private. I don’t think Trump will last four years and he’ll get booted out or will quit because he’ll get bored once he realises he can’t run America like his companies and bark out orders. He’ll break laws because he doesn’t care. What I do find funny is Melania Trump, 24 years younger than her hubby, most likely thought: ‘He’s not the best looking bloke and his hair’s ridiculous but he’s a multi-millionaire!’ She must now be thinking how the hell has he gone from sugar daddy to President of the USA? I only wanted a few handbags! This is one of those times when someone says to you, ‘What do you reckon?’ and you say, ‘I’m sure it will be fine.’ What you really mean is this can only finish in disaster!

Healthcare access for pensioners I AM a pensioner resident in Spain for many years living on my military pension taxed at source in UK, but also now having to be declared here, and my state ‘old age’ pension. Whilst I would miss any future increases it would not make much difference as last year the state pension raise was paltry and my military pension received zero raise. Of more concern is what to do if the reciprocal health agreement for pensioners was cancelled as private medical companies will not take on existing conditions, which many pensioners have, even if they can afford it. At present I could enter the Spanish system via the ‘conveno especial’ and pay my way but will that change with Brexit? Should all this fail my last hope would be the Vienna Convention on the Law of treaties 1969 in which it states that individuals have acquired rights built up over time and hold, despite any changes in future treaties enacted by their nation. Would this apply to the above in the case of Brexit? Brian, Javea

Raw nerve IN my opinion the EWN is a very good read but the content of the letters page does sometimes provoke two strong opposing urges, one is to laugh and the other to cry. This week is one of those times. The letter I refer to is the one entitled ‘Emigrants vs Expats’ written by Gerald in Alicante. Gerald gets off to a good start by gratuitously insulting Marian of Gloucester. Then he erroneously states that a British subject moving from Britain to any member state of the EU is the equivalent of a Texan moving to Florida. Unfortunately, he’s completely wrong. The Texan when he gets to Florida will still be a US citizen whereas the Brit who moves to Spain will always be a foreigner here. I know, I came here in 1982 with my Spanish wife and 34 years on I’m still a foreigner although I’m totally integrated into Spanish society. He goes on to ramble a bit about giving up British citizenship and ‘their obligation under British law’ then says their taxes are still paid in the UK on their pensions. Well, they’re not. That may be the case for some but certainly not for all. I ceased to be liable to pay tax in the UK the day in 1983 when the Inland Revenue accept-

to get rid of them? The stink from the food, urine, faeces, etc. is terrible. Admin have said we need to go to court or the police but advised we would need to pursue it, not him. The president says it’s not her problem. We are at our wits’ end!!! B Dyer, Mallorca

Brexit retort

Country’s true colours NOVEMBER 11 is the day every year when millions of people pay just lip service to ‘the fallen,’ completely forgetting the ones that came back with body parts missing and minds somewhere else... For months I have been emailing, tweeting and phoning to try and get something done about the 90 per cent of borough councils that rob ‘our heroes’ of their compensation for war wounds, to pay for their care. Just scum. All my communications to royalty, the Prime Minis-

ed that I’d EMIGRATED. Then it gets worse. Gerald tells us that we have a right to vote in British elections for a Member of Parliament. Sorry Gerald, that is not the case for a huge number of Brits resident in Spain. At this point I started to wonder how long Gerald has been in Spain and when he started to read the local press, he has certainly touched a raw nerve with that comment. Ed, Manilva

Shock and awe WELL, it’s finally happened, along with the shock of Brexit, Trump, trumping Clinton, and finally, having something in common with Leapy Lee. My goodness, after all his crackpot

ter and MPs, celebs, county and local councillors and many institutions, have mainly fallen on deaf ears. These are people that wring their hands in public, get paid ‘holidays’ to fly around the world supposedly ‘raising awareness of our boys’ but behind closed doors raise a digit to the real memory. Shameful! The Local Government Ombudsman has said that injury compensation should not be taken to pay for care. Once again a digit is raised as the LGO has no way of forcing this. Shameful! Keith, Blackpool

ideas, he’s finally wrote something which I totally endorse, the demise of comedy and sitcoms on TV. The thought of spending more than 10 seconds watching McIntyre makes me yearn for the sight of Eric Morecombe sat down in giant khaki shorts, Rene (Allo Allo) in the cafe, conversing with Gruber about his little tank, Ted from Hi-de-Hi! scheming about his next scam and the unforgettable Two Ronnie’s in the quiz sketch answering questions in the wrong order, brilliant memories. What we have now is a Geordie female who couldn’t get a smile out of playdoh along with a host of unfunny funnymen? Oh for the dulcet tones of the sergeant (Windsor Davies) in It Ain’t Half Hot Mum calling for ‘Mr Bloody La De Da Gunner Gra-

hame.’ Classic. Philip, San Fulgencio

Feral felines I HAVE an apartment in Puerto Pollensa, Mallorca. Our community has 18 apartments. I am on the middle floor and below me is an English woman tenant who has been feeding and is now breeding feral cats. At our AGMs in 2015 and 2016 the matter was brought up and she said she would do something but she hasn’t. More kittens arrived in March and again in September so there are now 12+ cats. One neighbour discovered a cat had given birth under a cover on their furniture! Does anyone know what we can do

IT was disappointing to see such a one-sided and unbalanced view of Brexit in last week’s edition of EWN. I refer, of course, to the views expressed by the owner of Pimlico Plumbers whose main argument seems to centre around the increased cost of boiler parts, supplies and other matters which affect his business. “The writing’s on the wall,” “the pound is falling,” he states. As I write it’s rising and was a good deal lower in value three years ago, long before anyone had heard of the word ‘Brexit.’ “The disadvantages of leaving outweigh the benefits,” how does he know, nothing has been decided yet, apart from the people’s decision that we must leave the EU. He speaks about ‘lies’ espoused by Brexiteers but makes no mention of the lies of ‘project fear’ broadcast by those who wished to remain; he asserts that “a 52/48 per cent majority wasn’t really the will of the people,” it’s a helluva lot more when expressed in millions and as a university study later revealed, expressed on a constituency basis such as in a general election, it would have been 60/40 and resulted in a landslide victory. He states 650 MPs didn’t get involved but seems to be unaware parliament voted 6/1 in favour of a referendum, whereby the people of the UK would decide whether the country should remain in or leave the EU! The referendum was not about what was best for the expat community and people who have chosen to leave the UK for a ‘better’ life abroad, it was about what was considered to be best for the UK going forward. Ken, San Fulgencio

Funagram Unscramble the name of a famous American actress: ONE GENIAL JAIL

Directed by: James Schamus Cast: Logan Lerman, Tracy Letts, Sarah Gadon, Linda Emond, Ben Rosenfield SET in 1951, this hard-hitting drama tells the story of Marcus, a New Jersey youth from a Jewish working class background who heads off to college in Ohio. While there, he becomes infatuated with a mysterious female student. Although his mother warns him to be wary of the young woman, Marcus finds himself being drawn deeper into his relationship with her, even as his academic career and future hangs precariously in the balance. All the while, the Korean War rages on in the background of the film as young men all across America are shipped overseas in increasingly large numbers. Based on the novel by Philip Roth.

Inés Sastre, Actress and Model, November 21

First seen on TV screens in a McDonald’s commercial at the age of 12, she was snapped up by elite Model Agency but decided to study at the Sorbonne in Paris before returning to modelling and acting after she qualified. Now a Unicef Ambassador and a keen golfer.

Jonathan Ross, TV Host, November 17, 56 Well-known cheeky chappy who has been a TV host for nearly 30 years but often sails close to the wind and was indeed suspended from the BBC for 12 weeks following a tasteless prank with Russell Brand. Married to film producer Jane Goldman for 28 years, the couple have three daughters. Ant McPartlin, Presenter, November 18, 41 One time actor and singer, he is one of the amazingly successful duo of Ant and Dec who have the Midas touch as far as TV entertainment is concerned, hosting their own game shows, I’m a Celebrity and even spending some weeks with Prince Charles for a documentary. Calvin Klein, Fashion Designer, November 19, 74 American designer whose men’s underwear and boxers modelled by Mark Wahlberg and Kate Moss in particular have become world famous as has his range of fragrances. Married twice, he eventually revealed that he was gay but has one daughter from his first marriage. Goodluck Jonathan, Politician, November 20, 59 He was Vice-President of Nigeria from 2005 and then President from 2010 until 2015 when he was soundly beaten by Muhammadu Buhari and retired from politics. For a man who came from a fairly humble background, it is suggested that he abused his position as president both financially and to assist his political career. Oscar Pistorius, Paralympian, November 22, 30 This South African double amputee first became world famous when he competed in both the Olympics and Paralympics at London in 2012 but did not achieve all that was expected of him. This all faded into insignificance however when he was convicted of killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your mind is still sharp this week and there are many questions that you would like answered. Doing a bit of research proves fruitful and also quite amusing. A recent contact may not come up with the proposition hoped for, but realise that it is still early days. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A meeting midweek could mean a change to your finances for the better. In the short term, it may be necessary for you to rearrange money and appointments but try not to be too put out. Change is perhaps something that we become less tolerant of after a situation has gone on for a time. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) There is so much that has come to light in the past few weeks. It is no wonder that your mind is reeling. All will become clear in the weeks ahead and this cannot be rushed. However, there is a need to look after your health and get out in the fresh air. Any thought of joining a walking club or health group should be pursued.

SCORPIO

ON THE BOX CLEVER November 21 is World Television Day 1. Actor Derek Thompson has played the role of which character in the long-running BBC television medical drama series Casualty since its inception in 1986? 2. Broadcast by BBC Television from 1953 until 1975, name any three of the five children’s programmes created by Freda Lingstrom and Maria Bird collectively known as Watch With Mother. 3. On which long-running variety show did the Beatles give their first live US television performance in February 1964? 4. The Green Green Grass and Rock & Chips were both spin-offs of which hugely popular television sitcom? 5. What is the title of the television bloopers show screened on ITV that has been presented by Denis Norden from 1977 until 2006 and Griff Rhys Jones since 2008? 6. Which 1970s action/adventure/comedy series starred Roger Moore star as Lord Brett Sinclair and Tony Curtis as Danny Wilde? 7. Which 1990s situation comedy was set in the offices of the fictional TV news company GlobeLink News? 8. Which game show was the first programme to be aired on Channel 4? 9. Which television game show has been hosted by Bob Monkhouse (1980–83), Max Bygraves (1983–85), Les Dennis (1987–2002) and Andy Collins (2002)? 10. Which television sitcom was originally intended to be called The Fighting Tigers? Not a lot of people know that… according to BARB, a record 30.15 million viewers watched Dirty Den serve his wife Angie with divorce papers on the 1986 Christmas Day edition of EastEnders

YOUR STARS SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) There is still a strong accent on family matters and getting things sorted out. The way ahead is clear. If you are able to persuade someone that an idea was theirs and not yours, so much the better. Being in a practical mood serves you well because it is possible to get a lot done in the next few days. The weekend, however, is another matter.

TIME

(October 24 - November 22)

Having put in extra effort to bring a zing into your life, it is important that you keep the impetus going. This is not only good for your health and wealth, but also your mind. Although trying something new brings a few odd remarks your way, try not to be sidetracked. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A pleasant surprise makes you a little more optimistic midweek. It is possible for you to take on negativity too quickly. The next time something does not go according to plan, hold fire. It is amazing what a little time and distance will solve. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Although last week was not run at the pace anticipated, now the pace certainly picks up. Finances are still firmly on the agenda, but this time you will be able to deal on a more relaxed basis. A contact made recently gives you the opportunity not only to make some money but also to enlarge your circle of friends. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Make a point of putting on a happy face and your mood will stay high. There is still some more to be done to improve your social life and a recent offer of charity work may be just the thing. Avoid restricting the sort of folk whom you are willing to mix with. Cultural differences apart, it is quite an eye-opener to find out how others live and think. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Being considerably more relaxed about those things which cannot be changed has taken a weight from your shoulders. It is also easier to

understand why others have taken this approach in the past. There is, however, a balance to be found. Don't be put off by people who have become sloppy in their approach because this is not going to affect you. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you still patting yourself on the back for that recent achievement? Socially, this is a lovely week when old friendships are strengthened and new acquaintances prove to be relaxing. It is another mellow week but one in which you seriously consider making a major change. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Be your charming self this week without pushing too much. A natural approach when you are seeking a response is the best course of action. Simply being in the right place and under someone's gaze is all that is required. Are you getting itchy because an offer is not forthcoming? Well, if you absolutely must, then get a little bird to whisper in their ear. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It is clear that you really love your hearth and home but, every now and again, there is a small voice calling. The good things in life appeal and, to have these, an effort is involved. Do not underestimate the amount of pleasure that you will enjoy when putting in that extra effort. It does, after all, involve other people.

Roseanne Barr The comedienne and former television star attempted to throw her hat into the ring in 2012 by campaigning for the leadership of the Green Party. Her thoughtful campaign had a focus on mental health and the benefits of meditation, but she also stated that she planned to execute Wall Street bankers by beheading them. 5. Mike Gravel Senator Gravel gained a certain degree of notoriety a few years back largely due to his bizarre television spots. In one of them he stares blankly into the camera for a long period before walking off into the distance and heaving a big rock into a lake. Another video features seven straight minutes of a crackling fire. 6. Basil Marceau This Tennessee chap has attempted to run for office numerous times but has yet to crack the code. He seems to be somewhat of an anarchist, as he has indicated that he would block police officers from charging people with any offences other than vehicle moving violations. 7. Kanye West The notoriously outspoken rapper stated during a 10 minute speech at the MTV Video Awards last year, “as you probably could’ve guessed in this moment,

I’ve decided in 2020 to run for president.” However he also said that he had “rolled up a little something” before the show, so whether he was serious is anyone’s guess. 8. Limberbutt McCubbins Limberbutt McCubbins is a cat who ran for the presidency this year. He has an active social media presence and his campaign slogan was ‘Meow is the Time.’ Unfortunately, he is only five years old and thus does not meet the minimum age requirements to run for president.

LAST week, Donald Trump scored a shock upset over Hillary Clinton, in the process becoming the first American president in history with no previous political or military experience. Over the course of his campaign, Trump was often called to task for his seemingly outlandish behaviour and controversial remarks, but he is far from the most offbeat individual to set his sights on the White House. Here are our top 10 most unusual American presidential candidates. 1. Vermin Love Supreme Vermin Love Supreme is a performance artist who is known for toting an enormous toothbrush around while wearing a boot strapped to his head. He planned to implement a law making tooth brushing mandatory for all American citizens. Time travel research was another of his primary concerns. He also said that he would give everyone in the country a free pony if he was elected. 2. Jello Biafra Better known as the lead singer of the legendary punk band the Dead Kennedys, Biafra has gone out of his way to stir the pot and court controversy over the course of a 35-year career. He attempted to secure the Green Party nomination in 2000 but lost by a wide margin to Ralph Nader. He selected death row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal as his running mate, and said that he wanted to get rid of the military, establish a maximum wage and lower the voting age to five. 3. Jonathon Albert ‘The Impaler’ Sharkey This former wrestler also happens to be a self-proclaimed vampire. Fortunately men don’t need to worry as Sharkey only goes for the blood of women, who ‘have such beautiful necks and arms.’ He once accused President H W Bush of being a communist and insisted that a tougher stance needs to be taken on criminals. Music lovers may want to hunt down his album of Elvis Presley covers.

First meeting held

Top-level property awards

Remembering Paris

FOLLOWING his first meeting with Boris Johnson, the new Spanish Foreign Minister Alfonso Dastis said Spain should not waste too much time on the issue of Gibraltar when there were more important matters. He did however say the UK understands Spain’s policy on the Rock and his predecessor had written to the British Government outlining Madrid’s proposals.

OCEAN Spa Plaza has come away with a brace of top-level prizes at the famed International Property Awards. Held in London at the end of October, the judges awarded the eco resort being developed by the Fairhomes Group the highest accolade available, Five Star, in the Residential High-Rise Development and Development Marketing categories.

A ONE-MINUTE silence was observed in Gibraltar to remember the victims of the Paris attacks which were carried out on November 13, 2015 when 130 people died in a planned attack which involved suicide bombers and mass shootings by jihadists associated with Daesh terrorists. At the time Gibraltar was in the midst of the election but suspended campaigning.

WITH its long military background, Gibraltar saw a number of official observations of remembrance, firstly with a laying of wreaths in the lobby of the Parliament building at 11am on Friday November 11 in memory of those Gibraltarians who died in the two world wars. Those laying wreaths included the Governor, Chief Minister, Leader of the Opposition, Religious Leaders, Mayor of Gibraltar and the local representative of the Royal British Legion. Two more ceremonies took place on Remembrance Sunday, November 13 when representatives of all of the Armed Forces including the Governor and local dignitaries were present at the British War Memorial to observe a twominute silence, take part in an inter-denominational service and lay wreaths. Following that ceremony, wreaths were also laid at the American War Memorial.

Armed Forces Minister visits Gibraltar at a difficult time By John Smith THERE was a small and p e a c e fu l d e mo n s tra tion outside the Convent (the official residence of the Governor of Gibraltar) organised by the Unite union on Thursday November 10 so that they could deliver a letter to be passed to the new UK Minister of State for the Armed Forces the Rt Hon Mike Penning PC MP, a former Grenadier Guardsman and fireman who was on a familiaris a tio n v is it to Gibraltar. He then met with Chief Minister Fabian Picardo who expressed his delight that Mr Penning had been appointed to this position in July 2016 and the fact that he had decided to visit Gibraltar especially at a

diffic ult time w he n the Ministry of Defence was reviewing employment on the Rock. The Chief Minister said: “I was so happy to see Mike Penning in Gibraltar as Minister for Armed Forces. He has been a good, true and long term friend of Gibraltar and it is fantastic news for all of Gibraltar as a whole that he has now become a Minister in the MoD. “At a time when Unite have concerns about the proposed new operating model to be implemented and on which the MoD are consulting with the unions, we can be assured of a decision maker at a ministerial level who is not a fair weather friend but a genuine ally of Gibraltar and its people.”

A “sensible” Brexit is in Spain’s interests as well

Dr Garcia and participants in the seminar.

WITH the appointment of a new Foreign Minister in Spain who as a former career diplomat, it is hoped in Gibraltar that his behaviour will be less belligerent than his predecessor who even when handing over the portfolio boasted about the achievements he had made with regards to access to the Rock. In recognition of this, the Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia has said that a “managed” and “sensible” Brexit discussion is in the best interests of both Spain

and Gibraltar as he addressed students from the College of Further Education, Bayside and Westside Schools following a presentation delivered by a group who had returned from a visit to the EU institutions in Brussels. The deputy chief minister explained that there were 12,000 peopl e, m ost l y Spanish nationals, who live i n Spai n and wor k i n Gibraltar and who count on a fluid border in order to make a living and that 25 per cent of the GDP of the

surrounding area of Spain is gener at ed by Gi br al t ar whilst ‘Gibraltar PLC’ is the second largest employer for Andalucia after its regional Government. He outlined the work that the Government has done so far in relation to Brexit, from meetings with the UK Government including Prime Minister Theresa May, to a comprehensive statistical analysis of the impact of leaving the European Union across every area of Government and across the private sector in Gibraltar.

By Gemma Elvins-Quinn THAT natural, healthy summer glow has long faded and our thoughts turn to wrapping up for the winter months. Everyone sheds hair everyday but for men, and sometimes women, it can become noticeably thinner the older you get.

4 drops of peppermint oil mixed with one egg should bring a shine to your hair. There are also genetic or hormonal reasons why some people may lose more hair than others or why some experience a sudden increase. It can also become more apparent during the change of season but experts say they are not 100 per cent clear on the reasons why. But there are some things you can do to try and minimise hair loss and give your locks a boost. Try an essential oil massage that can be done quickly and easily at home.

CHANGING SEASON: Hair loss can become more apparent.

Massage boosts the circulation in the scalp and keeps follicles active. Lavender oil in an almond or sesame oil base is a good natural choice. If oils are not to hand, egg is also believed to be a good treatment. Massage in the egg oil and leave overnight before washing off with a mild shampoo. Continued weekly use can help prevent hair fall and some even believe it helps prevent greying. Aloe vera and coconut oil is also a good choice. Lifestyle choices will also play an impact on how healthy and vibrant your hair is. Protein rich foods and foods high in Vitamin B12 will provide nutrients to strengthen hair and help prevent hair loss. Hair buddha.net say mix one egg with four drops of peppermint oil to give a more pleasant smell. It is also important to look after the hair you have so, even though we are more prone to blowdrying in the winter, try and avoid excess heat on your hair or brushing it when too wet and never rub your hair vigorously with a towel as this can cause brittleness and dry ends.

Increased number of children are surviving cancer MORE and more children are fighting, and beating, cancer. With advancements in research into the disease, the news is welcomed, but a report said up to one in four survivors of childhood cancer still report health problems later in life.

SURVIVAL RATES: Have improved dramatically.

1 in four survivors of childhood cancers still report problems later in life. This figure, according to the report of researchers in the Annals of Internal Medicine is almost identical to the rate in the 1970s. The objective of the report was to compare the health among childhood cancer survivors across three decades,

as they looked at 14,566 adults aged from 18 to 48 who were treated for cancer and had survived for more than five years after the initial diagnosis. The report concluded that survival rates had improved substantially over the past 30 years but the health status among survivors has not seen the same improvement. Survivors are still at risk of developing secondary cancers and cancer treatment can leave many infertile. Radiation therapy to the brain is also re-

ported to affect development. It comes as singer Michael BublĂŠ confirmed his three year-old son Noah, had been diagnosed with liver cancer and has started chemotherapy treatment. BublĂŠ and his wife, Luisana Lopilato, announced their heartbreak on social media as their eldest son was taken to the doctors thinking he had mumps. After tests in Argentina he was taken to the USA where further tests revealed cancer.

Raising testosterone

Dealing with a frozen shoulder

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. WHAT is frozen shoulder? Frozen shoulder is a condition in which the muscles and ligaments of the shoulder hurt and lose movement due to inflammation. What can cause it? The capsule of the shoulder joint has ligaments attaching the shoulder bones to each other. When inflammation of the capsule occurs, these bones are unable to move freely in the joint. Most of the time, there is no cause for inflammation. Risk factors include: diabetes, thyroid disorders, menopause, previous shoulder injury, previous shoulder surgery, cervical disc disease, etc. What is the best course of treatment to follow? Treatment should be started with anti-inflammatories and painkillers, along with applying heat to the affected area. If this is not enough, injections can be done to reduce the symptoms. Physical therapy often improves stiff-

ness and pain. In certain cases, surgery is necessary. VITAL HORMONE: Low levels of testosterone is detrimental to men’s health. How long does recovery take? The recovery can last several months, often requiring treatment with pills, injections and rehabilitation for a long time. What are some general tips for muscle injuries? When any type of injury occurs in which joints such as the shoulder are affected due to the injury of the surrounding muscles and tendons, it is necessary to visit a specialist in the human musculoskeletal system as well as consulting with a physiotherapist. Adequate and timely treatment can often prevent complications such as full limb stiffness, which limits mobility, as well as avoiding more aggressive treatments. Physical therapy is one of the most important elements in this disease since the strengthening of the shoulder joint helps a prompt and successful recovery.

If you have any questions for Dr Perez Belmonte, please send them to: jefemedico@helicopterossanitarios.com The Coast’s Home GP service - wherever you are - at home - in the office - in the car - on the golf course your GP will get to see you any time, anywhere. A priceless service at an affordable price.

by Matthew Elliott TESTOSTERONE has something of a bad reputation. Blamed for violence and war the very word has connotations with our prehistoric cavemen days, and nobody except the occasional jihadi is calling for a return to the stone age. But low testosterone levels are hugely detrimental to men’s health. Men need optimum testosterone levels to properly function (as do women). The levels of the hormone in the blood begin to decline when a man reaches his 30s and environmental pollution has also caused a concerning drop.

30 second spurts of fast explosive exercises that push you to your limit help boost testosterone levels.

So what can be done to increase testosterone? Firstly, if you’re overweight, lose weight, cut out all sugars and refined carbohydrates. Fat is your friend. Not deepfried pizza but healthy fats including nuts, coconut oil, salmon, olives and avocados. Begin exercising differently. No more long ambling runs for countless miles, or

hour long stints on the bike. Fast explosive exercise that pushes you to your limit in 30 seconds alongside weight training. Vitamin D deficiency really shouldn’t be a problem in Spain but try to get outside at least once a day, or take supplements if you’re working the night shift or are allergic to garlic and crucifixes. Finally try to reduce your stress levels. Psychological tinkering is much harder than making physical changes but has a greater pay off. Chronic stress releases cortisol which blocks the good effects of testosterone. Try yoga, meditation, or deep breathing to calm down and relax.

Check-ups for men are important too PROSTATE cancer is the second most frequent type of cancer amongst men, with almost 900,000 new cases diagnosed in the world each year, meaning prevention and early detection are vital. While the majority of cases are detected in men aged between 60 and 80 and especially between the ages of 70 and 75, doctors report a significant number of men are diagnosed with prostate cancer as young as 50. This, they stress, means all men should undergo prostate check-ups from 50 onwards, or 45 if there is a family history of the disease.

Annual check-ups should include a detailed examination of symptoms, a rectal examination and blood and urine tests including specific PSA checks. For good prostate health, doctors also recommend avoiding obesity, following a healthy, low fat diet rich in fruit and veg and cereals, reducing alcohol consumption and stopping smoking. In Spain, more than 25,000 cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed every year making up 21 per cent of all tumours in men according to the AECC (Spanish Association Against Cancer.)

Childrens’ Migraine Symptoms One of the tricky things about children is that they don’t get migraines the same way that adults do. In fact many children don’t even get head pain with migraines. • Vomiting or stomach pain. • Car sickness can be associated with migraine. • Episodes of dizziness. • Vomiting for no reason. • Sensitivity to light and noise. • Lethargy. • Disturbed vision. • Head pain will affect the entire head rather than one side.

minute nap (if you can convince them!) will help as well. Routine is key: regular light exercise, regular sleep patterns, regular eating to prevent blood sugar dips and peaks. These will all help reduce frequency and severity of attacks. Common triggers • Sleep – too much or too little, regular bedtimes and getting up times can help. • Dehydration – a big one here in hot, sunny Spain. • Diet – just like adults some children have a food trigger. • Lack of food. • Stress – does your child get worse before exams or big events?

Medication doesn’t help A recent American study looked at whether two common adult medications, amitriptyline and topiramate, were effective in children. There were some rather shocking results: • Placebo (sugar pills) were nearly 10 per cent more effective. • The trial had to be stopped due the severe side effects in some children - fatigue, dry mouth, tingling in their hands or feet. Also suicidal thoughts and severe depression.

In fact, due to this study the FDA are reviewing whether either of these drugs can be considered safe for children. Top tips 1. Keep a headache diary to identify triggers and patterns. 2. Watch for early signs of an attack and encourage your child to tell you if they feel ‘funny’ as quickly as possible so you can help. 3. Common misdiagnosis are: eye problems, sinus problems or allergies. 4. Get a proper review and diagnosis by a specialist.

Pre and post op surgery checklist I HAVE written about my top tips before surgery to help you get the best result, the questions to ask and some ideas to make your recovery easier. This week I’d like to walk you through the process from the surgeon’s perspective. Before Surgery: 1. Make sure the diagnosis is correct – review MRI or X-rays andperform a detailed the clinical assessment. 2. The Patient’s Story Reviewed and Shared: • make sure the patient understands the surgery as well as the risks. • Ensure that the patient’s lifestyle and requirements have been considered. • What are the patient’s goals and expectations? • Discuss the options and together choose the most appropriate. 3. Double check potential risks: • Other illnesses • Medications • Do you need additional specialist review? 4. Make a detailed recommendation tailored for the patient and their needs. 5. Inform and work with the whole team prior to surgery: anaesthesiologist, OR equipment, special instruments, phys-

iotherapist, ward. Make sure that every step of the process for the patient has been considered and the appropriate team has been briefed. Explain this process to the patient and introduce them to appropriate team members. 6. Be available for questions. Many times the patient comes up with new ideas or has new questions. Build a trustworthy atmosphere and inform about the means you can be reached for further questions 7. Meet with the patient prior to anaesthesia to review process again and answer any final questions After Surgery: 1. As soon as possible after surgery, meet with the patient and evaluate the surgery. 2. Make sure the patient understands the whole post-op procedure before discharge. 3. Again, be available! 4. After every visit the patient should understand the rehab plan and its goals and k n o w the time a n d place for the next visit.

Staying well this winter ACCORDING to the Influenza Surveillance System in Spain, each year episodes of

flu hit their peak between December and February, but already, with the drop in temperatures, cases are being reported. As a result, it is essential to protect yourself from catching the flu, but many people still do not know the difference between the flu and the common cold. Although the symptoms can be similar, they are not the same and do not require the same medication. Flu is caused by the influenza virus and has an incubation period of one to two days. Its symptoms are stronger and more intense than a cold with fever, muscle weakness, coughing and lethargy. A cold is not normally symptomatic with a fever.

After the incubation period, symptoms of the flu generally last three to seven days but any longer and you should seek medical advice. Remember to try and prevent the flu, always wash your hands thoroughly and

The Spanish Government has now also launched the flu vaccination campaign and those in high risk groups in particular, are encouraged to speak to their medical centre about having the jab.

Sugar ban in hospitals

Digestive problems are under the spotlight

A BAN could be imposed preventing hospitals in England from selling fruit juices and fizzy drinks. The proposals would see the sugary drinks banned from cafeterias and vending machines in a bid to tackle the growing obesity problem. The plans were outlined by NHS chief executive Simon Stevens who wants the country to be the first to introduce and enforce such a ban. Another option being looked at is a sugar tax for selling the drinks. Obesity rates in Britain are reported to have doubled since the early 1990’s.

THE number of patients going to see specialists in search of treatment for digestive problems has increased almost 40 per cent over the last decade, the Spanish Group of Digestive Motility (GEMD) has reported. More than 200 gastroenterologists have taken part this week in the GEMD’s annual meeting in Barcelona, where the marked increase was noted and discussed. Around seven million people in Spain are affected by some sort of digestive problem caused by alterations to digestive motility or other functional disorders such as irritable intestine syndrome or chronic constipation, doctors have said. “Over the last 10 years we’ve seen a progressive increase in the number of visits to specialists for this type of problem,” said Dr Fernando Canga, GEMD secretary and gastroenterologist at Madrid’s 12 de Octubre Hospital. Specialists believe that cases could be increasing due to more food allergies and intolerances, which were in the past not taken as seriously as they are today by sufferers.

The 39 Steps ORIGINALLY written by Scottish author John Buchan in 1915, the story of The Thirty-Nine Steps is considered to be one of the first chase stories with a man on the run and is perhaps best remembered for the 1935 film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll

which is considered to be one of the best British films of all time. Since then it has seen a radio performance starring Orson Wells, two more films, a TV series, more BBC radio plays, a video game and a much lauded four-handed play which combines the original story with the 1935 Hitchcock version. John Gale - aka Johnny G - and Dahlia Helsby play the lovers in this adaptation of the 1935 Hitchcock film retitled The 39 Steps. Amazingly nothing has been cut from this Hitchcock inspired comedy-thriller and it promises to heap thrill upon thrill until the final denouement. On stage you will see the chase on the Royal Scotsman, the escape on the Forth Bridge, the bi-plane crash and the deathdefying (or nearly) finale at the London Palladium! With just four actors playing a minimum of 25 roles it is one of the most astonishing theatrical tours de force. Directed by Owain Griffiths the play will run from November 25 to 29 at 8pm nightly except for Sunday at 7pm at the Salon Varietes in Fuengirola. Tickets can be obtained from the box office which is open 11am to 2.30pm and one hour before each performance or online at www.salonvarietestheatre.com.

BENAHAVIS: A town proud of its foreign residents and quality developments.

Benahavis short film competition By John Smith FOR the third consecutive year, the delegation of youth of the Benahavis Council is holding a contest for short films which must be made and shot in the town over just 24 hours between Friday November 18 and Sunday November 20 with the selected films to be shown at the Assembly Hall at noon on the Sunday and winners to be announced that same day. This event is presented by the Benahavis Council with the collaboration of the Bena-

havis Art Association, audio-visual company Filmasur and Unicorn Cultural Association. In addition to the Short Film Competition there will be a number of different activities including an Audio-Visual Workshop for the young, also a talk on the history of film, by members of the Unicorn Association, whilst the organisers of the International Fantasy Film Festival of the Costa del Sol, will also make a presentation and on November 19 at 9.30pm there will be a concert of film soundtracks performed by the band,

Malpaso (check them out on Facebook). The point of the competition is to encourage young filmmakers to follow their art and of course as the films will be shot in Benahavis, a town which is proud of its foreign residents and quality developments, so it is hoped that the town will be promoted on both the big screen and YouTube to attract even more. Certainly, all of the winning films will be featured on the town website (www.benah vais.es) as well as that of the Unicorn Association.

Cello concert in Marbella Photo Credit: Scandinavian Cello School.

By John Smith THE Scandinavian Cello School holds regular camps for invited young cellists from around the world in Marbella and with 30 applicants it can only award scholarships to six young people. This first camp saw participants from Belgium, France, Poland and the UK mentored by British born internationally renowned Jacob Shaw and the week closed with a concert at the Nueva Kaskada restaurant in Marbella.

Marbella Oscar film night THERE is to be a showing of the Oscar nominated comedy ‘Danny Collins,’ starring Al Pacino, Annette Bening and Christopher Plummer amongst a host of well-respected actors and actresses. The film is based on a real life story in which John Lennon and Yoko Ono wrote a letter in 1971 to the English folk singer Steve Tilston which was unknown to him for 34 years. In the film, which received good critical acclaim, Al Pacino plays a hard living singer who discovers a similar letter which changes his whole life. The original version of the movie will be presented jointly by the Marbella International Film Festival and H10 Andalucia Plaza on Friday November 18. Tickets for the presentation which will include a buffet meal cost just €20 but must be booked in advance by e-mailing joanne.f7@gmail.com or calling her on 952 811 047. The buffet which does not include drinks will commence at 7pm and the film will start at 9pm at the H10 Andalucia Plaza opposite Puerto Banus.

Jacob Shaw was a complete sell out

and so popular were the seven musicians that their encore lasted for 20 minutes. It was Shaw who founded the Scandinavian Cello School and with his high profile presence at performances around the world, he is doing a great deal to promote the instrument and to help young artists. There will be four of these camps each year and cellists will be auditioned on a regular basis with the top six being invited to participate with the next concert being held in early March next year.

It’s naturally good for you WAY back in 1999 when Terra Sana first opened its doors it focused on wholesome, natural foods sourced from local suppliers. Way ahead of its time, it led the way for many others that followed. Terra Sana has always been more than just healthy

food though. It strives to be more than just a group of restaurants but rather a way of life, promoting a healthy, fun, relaxed way of living, naturally. It all began with a dream, a very hungry dream! Four young friends from very different backgrounds, pushed together by the melting pot that is Marbella, discovered a problem. Their plight? “Where can

we eat eggs in the afternoon, get a big fresh juice or a smoothie or a nice healthy salad? Even more so, where can we do this in a cool, comfortable place?” They saw a gaping hole in the Spanish restaurant market - the American breakfast concept with a friendly, fun, relaxed atmosphere! So they decided to stop complaining about it and did something to satisfy their hunger. Their ideas were international and cosmopolitan (due to their diverse backgrounds and the Marbella influence) with a primary focus on a healthy image and natural produce within a trendy, hangout-style environment. The first Terra Sana opened in 1999 and people came in floods from all along the Coast. The boys had been right; it was something that hadn’t existed and something that was missing.

Gospel Christmas carols By John Smith THERE will be a special Christmas event held in the public area outside Zara at La Cañada Commercial Centre at 1pm on Saturday November 26. A film crew from the UK will be in place to record young children from the Marbella Dance

Club performing ballet and a presentation by members of the Flip Hop teenage dance group. Well-known local duo Mr Maph and Simonne together with a Gospel Choir will be performing Christmas carols and the event is free of charge so don’t miss this opportunity to enter the Christmas spirit and perhaps buy a few presents as well.

Nearly 20 years later, everyone still wants this, as can be seen from the number of healthy restaurants that have popped up on the Coast in the intervening years. Terra Sana still uses only the freshest ingredients from local suppliers and still promotes that warm, fuzzy feeling of being part of something good, something that stands for real values. They are a company that is adapting and growing with the rest of the world whilst looking after their health and the planet we live on. As one of their greatest company slogans says: Food for the

Soul, Served with Love - Enjoy it! Life is short. Terra Sana Nueva Andalucia (next to the Casino, Tel: 952 906 205), Laguna Village (Estepona, Tel: 951 901 050), Marina Banus (Puerto Banus, Tel: 952 817 977), Miramar Centre (Fuengirola, Tel: 952 667 839) Open Monday-Sunday for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

What every little girl dreams THE Marbella Council has announced that it has entered into a formal agreement with ‘La Termica’ which is the Malaga Centre for Contemporary Culture to present a programme which will consist of two exhibitions and seven courses running through to June of next year.

A fascinating history of fashion using Barbie to model the clothes. First comes a fantastic travelling exhibition which has been crisscrossing the region and tells the story of the fashion history of the iconic doll Barbie who was launched in 1959 by the American company Mattel. The whole concept of the exhibition was put together by Antonio Azcona, a renowned creative director and fashion stylist who lives in Sevilla and he has created a fascinating history of fashion using Barbie to model clothes from prehistoric times through to the present day. He delves into history, presenting

the iconic doll as a range of Spanish figures such as the Duchess of Alba painting by Goya and dresses her in clothes designed by some of the greatest fashion designers of the 20th and 21st centuries such as Balenciaga, Chanel, Dior and Lacroix. Spanish designers are far from forgotten with representations from such diverse manufacturers as Petro Valverde, Juana Martin and Ion Fiz joined by some of the best-known Andalucian designers as well. Visitors have flocked to this exhibition in various parts of Malaga Province and beyond and now it will be presented at the San Pedro de Alcantara Cultural Centre in the Plaza de la Libertad from December 1 to January 1. Details of the other exhibition and the various courses which will cost between €5 and €10, some of which will be conducted in English will be announced by the council over the coming weeks.

OPINION & COMMENT

A change: for better or worse? 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.

I HAVE so far resisted the temptation to become involved in the debate regarding the run up to the Presidential Election in the United States. It’s not really my brief and besides, there are others writing on the subject who are far more erudite than me. However, with the result now in and the flood of angst and hostility that we are witnessing on social media and in the press, I am experiencing a déjà vu moment. Although the circumstances are somewhat different, we are again witnessing the hysterical outpouring that occurred, and is still occurring, over Britain’s vote to leave the European Union. The tyranny of the minority is once again in full vigour, accusing the majori-

Trump who has come across during the long campaign as coarse, boorish, vulgar and insensitive in the extreme. But as with Brexit, it illustrates yet again how utterly sick to the back teeth ordinary people are with the present corrupt political system. When somebody like Trump can be elected

to the highest office in the world, it tells us in no uncertain terms how desperately in need we are of a complete sanitising of the present political systems in the US and Europe. The domination by vested interests over our everyday lives and their influence on political decisions, is what Trump is referring to when he talks of ‘draining the swamp’ when he reaches the White House. One of the biggest criticisms of the man is that he is not, and has never been, a politician. But isn’t that a plus? Trump may be the answer to the concerns of the average American and he may not, but once he has his feet firmly established in the Oval Office, it is to be hoped that with the right people around him, he will learn to temper his language and acquire a smattering of diplomacy. If he can do this, then just possibly he will surprise us all. Because one thing that he represents and resonates with many is change, and change is what we need.

Smuggling: a way of life John Smith Random thoughts... WHILST I was waiting for a Grua to come to my assistance when my car broke down on the sea front the other week in La Linea de la Concepcion, I witnessed an incredibly slick smuggling operation which was over in the blink of an eye. At 4pm precisely on November 5, a small boat with an outboard motor carrying two men and some packages shot up to the sea wall and immediately a young man on a motorbike wearing a helmet and a scarf around his face drove onto the promenade, leant over and took three la rg e p a c k a g e s fro m th e hands of the man not steering the boat. He then drove straight across four lanes of traffic, over a low reservation into a large housing estate made up of blocks of flats with narrow paths by them and promptly disappeared. Whilst this was happening, the boat turned around and

The American election battle SOMEONE said there could be a terrible person elected as President of the United States but failing that, someone even worse could be elected. This has probably been the dirtiest presidential election since the 1800 Jefferson v Adams election when incumbent vice-president Thomas Jefferson accused fellow signatory to the Declaration of Independence and incumbent president John Adams of being a “hideous hermaphroditical character” whilst Adams said “Great God of compassion and justice, shield my country from destruction.” Pollsters seem surprised that Hillary Clinton wasn’t elected. They have overlooked the fact that people may have been embarrassed to admit they like Donald Trump and many legal immigrants agree the illegals who could steal their jobs should be thrown out. The Clintons are branded as heads of a crime family, with the Foundation being a useful way of laundering money whilst Trump’s critics suggest he has made money at the expense of others and when it suits him declares bankruptcy. The initial indication of how this affects Spain and our readers is quite well. The dollar has fallen which has helped the pound and at the time of writing sterling has risen 5 per cent against the euro which suits those with funds in pounds which need transferred over. Hillary Clinton has a reputation as someone who believes in a strong defence policy and was likely to increase tension with Russia whilst Donald Trump seems to admire Putin and should bring tension down. Time will tell but the result is unlikely to be a disaster for Europe.

anything anyway. Simply put, I was with my wife and had I taken a photograph of the small boat and the men in it on my phone, how am I to know that they didn’t have guns or could easily have turned round and attacked us?

In a small town where effectively everyone knows everyone else, especially where there is great deal of poverty, people have a tendency to mind their own business and just let things happen without getting involved.

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

PEOPLE embarking on their first puppy rearing experience must realise patience is vital to successful dog training. Babies and puppies have a lot in common. You can’t expect an infant child to learn everything overnight. Thus, you have to realise that puppy rearing can also be a time-consuming challenge. However, the time you put into training a puppy will pay off in the end. There are different methods and not all puppies learn at the same rate. There are many helpful guides available. Breeders and vets are good sources of training information. Remember puppies will best respond to positive reinforce-

ment. There are some things you just shouldn’t do and the following should be avoided: 1. Inconsistency with Commands: This will set you and your puppy up for failure. Choose command words and use them. For example, if you use ‘off’ to keep your puppy off of the furniture, don’t confuse the dog by sometimes telling him to ‘get down.’ Using the same words consistently will make training a lot easier. 2. Don’t shout or yell at the puppy: Keep your cool and address the dog in a calm manner. You will get its attention without making it afraid of you. 3. Avoid long training sessions: Puppies have short attention spans, so a short lesson is better. Start with five-minute intervals and slowly increase the minutes you spend in a training session. Try to aim for a maximum of 15 minute training sessions at any given time. 4. Avoid rubbing the puppy’s nose in messes: When potty training or housebreaking, forget the old advice of rubbing the puppy’s nose in the puddle of urine. This is a form of negative reinforcement and will only confuse the puppy. 5. Avoid training when in a bad mood: Be aware that puppies can pick up on your mood. Avoid training when in a bad mood. Whether or not you realise it, your foul temper is catching and the puppy can easily become afraid of you. 6. Don’t overuse the crate: Crate training can work well for housebreaking because dogs do not like to soil the area they play and live in. However,

don’t use the crate because you feel like forgetting about them for a period of time. The crate is a tool, not a canine prison. Overuse can cause anxieties. The crate is a place your puppy should feel comfortable. Make sure to avoid using the crate for punishment purposes or you will end up confusing him! 7. Don’t forget to praise the puppy for doing things right: Praise and positive reinforcement are very effective. Never underestimate the power of a rub on the belly or a nice treat. 8. Never hit the puppy: Physical abuse will only make the puppy neurotic. Gently correct them and repeat the correction until the puppy learns a specific action is undesirable. 9. Don’t punish a dog that doesn’t come when called: Punishment only makes the dog fear you and continue to avoid you. Instead, reward with praise or a treat when they do come. For safety reasons don’t remove the leash until you know your puppy responds consistently to the ‘come’ command. 10. Don’t correct puppies for something in the past: Even after just 5 minutes don’t correct puppies after they have done something bad like chew a shoe or have a bathroom accident in the house. Puppies have a very short memory. It is best to only reprimand them when you catch them in the act. The best thing you can do is to spend a lot of time with your puppy. Include them in as many of your activities as you can and you will end up with an amazing dog.

Your dog may dream about you A HARVARD professor has made dog owners’ days by saying she believes pooches dream about their humans when they sleep. Dr Deidre Barrett, clinical and evolutionary psychologist at Harvard Medical School, explained dogs and other mammals are known to have similar sleep patterns to humans. During the REM phase humans usually dream about what was on their mind during the day

and for dogs this is probably their owners. Barrett told People magazine: “Humans dream about things they’re interested in during the day, though less logically and more visually. There’s no reason to think animals are different. As dogs are attached to their owners, they’re likely to dream about your face or your smell.”

DOZY DOGS: Have sweet dreams about their owners.

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 Andalu-

cian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call Marjorie 952 79 74 05 or 636 934 146 (93319) SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public week-ends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepe online.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.

Converting a racing car into a street car is like watching porn with all the good bits cut out... some sweaty bloke bobbing his head for half an hour” Some might say...

PETROL-ELECTRIC hybrid cars have been around for a while, but technology keeps moving on and there are now an increasing number of plugin hybrids, re-chargeable at home or at public charging points. BMW is well-established in this expanding market with models such as the i3 and i8, and now there is also a version of its iconic 3-Series, the 330e. It is a plug-in hybrid with all the cachet of a BMW but the environmental credentials of a supermini. Base price is £34,235 (€37,991) including UK Government grant, but with a variety of options my Sport test model was £42,350 (€47,108).

It was lavishly equipped and included a premium satnav system, reversing and wingmirror cameras, leather upholstery, electrically adjustable and heated sports seats, cruise control, automatic dual zone climate control, auto lights and wipers, and M Sport suspension. Powered by a 2-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine, an electric motor delivers 87 hp of the 249 hp. It is mated to a superb 8-speed automatic transmission with well-spaced ratios and a smooth shift action. Running in electric mode wherever possible the 330e switches to internal combustion seamlessly, and you can run the car in electric-only mode for up 25 miles at city speeds at the touch of a

switch. Domestic re-charging takes just two hours with a special wall box, or three hours from a home plug-socket. Plug-in hybrid it is, but don’t expect it to be slow, the 0-60 mph time is a searing 6.1 seconds, top speed 140 mph. Official fuel economy is 134.5 mpg combined but in realworld driving expect about half that but still impressive for such a fast, powerful car and emissions are just 46g/km. The car has elegant styling

which complements its prestige persona. The cabin is beautifully designed for both comfort and driver-focus. The dashboard is laid out for ease of use and seating is very comfortable, with ample room for all occupants. Boot space is smaller than a normal 3-Series but still substantial at 370 litres. Not everyone is yet ready for plug-in hybrids - some a r e

holding back to see how this fast-moving technology advances and how residual values hold up - but anyone checking out this BMW 330e cannot fail to be impressed. Beautifully built, smooth, quiet and powerful, it offers a cost-effective alternative to the conventionally powered premium saloons - particularly for business users.

Stagnancy at Silverstone JAGUAR will not be buying the legendary Silverstone circuit from the British Racing Driver’s club. The motoring industry had been waiting with bated breath since formal negotiations were announced earlier this year. The anticipation has come crashing to a halt with a declaration from Jaguar Land Rover that they will no longer pursue the ambitious plan. The British brand had hoped to open an exhibition centre to show off its classic car collection at the hallowed racing ground, which has held the British Grand Prix on and off since 1948. Despite its fame and reputation Silverstone is in trouble. A history stretching back to the Second World War hasn’t spared it the necessity of modern investment and its losses are growing with alarming pace.

Mitsubishi Shogun: road test and review WHEN the Mitsubishi Shogun first arrived in the early 1980s, it made a big impact with its blend of luxury looks and tough

off-road ability. Competition was less intense than it is today, where the Volvo XC90, Land Rover Discov-

ery, Toyota Land Cruiser and Audi Q7 all slug it out in the sales battle. However, the Shogun’s potent visual presence and outstanding rough-terrain ability allow it to score points over its rivals. Prices start at £29,634 (€33,362) but whichever you choose, it will have a 3.2 litre diesel engine it’s the only one available! My mid-range test model was in SG3 trim and 7-seat format, priced at £36,244 (€40,781) and well-kitted with leather upholstery, wood trim, climate control, alloy wheels, keyless entry, reversing camera, automatic lights and wipers, rear aircon controls and satnav. Cabin design is straightforward, with a practical dashboard, acres of space and a huge boot area when the two rearmost seats are folded away. Total load space with all seats down is 1,760 litres. The 187 hp diesel unit performs well in hauling along such a heavyweight vehicle, and the 0-60 mph time of 10.4 seconds is pretty good by class standards. Top speed is 112 mph and the fuel economy figure is 30.4 mpg combined. The Shogun is showing its age compared with its opposition but comes across as formidable and dependable and still has presence and panache.

Dramatic competition finale at Miraflores! THE Club Drawn Triples competition took place this week in wonderful balmy weather conditions completely the opposite of last season’s cold and windy scenario. The early rounds saw some very closely contested matches and both semi-finals watched by a large group of spectators could have gone either way, but in the end the teams of Tony Gatter, Nancy Shaw & Carol Cooke and Graham Rowley, Tom Cordner & Jenny Bull won through. Finals day arrived and again there were a large group of people watching with standing room only in some places. Tony and his team got their noses in front early on but Graham and his team kept plugging away so that after 10 ends the score was 14-11 to Tony. Tony then had a run of winning ends, but only by a single shot to take an 18-12 lead with only 3 ends to play. Just to show what an unpredictable game bowls can be Gra-

ham and his team picked up a dramatic 7 shots on the 16th end to take the lead by one shot, Tony, Nancy and Carol drew level on the next end which meant the final end would decide the Champions. In a very tight head Tony and his team claimed the winning shot and title. The largest open bowls competition on the coast the ‘Miraflores Open’ started on Saturday November 12. There were around 300 entries for the different disciplines namely Mixed Triples, Mixed Pairs and Men’s & Ladies’ Singles. It was a delight to have two major sponsors in place, Ibex Insurance and for the first time Solar in Spain, both of whom have representatives on site to answer questions about their companies to both players and spectators. The event runs to Sunday November 20 which will feature all four finals and is normally a very popular event for spectators, especially the post final presentations.
