So macho Killer husband ruling angers women By Matt Ford A High Court decision to cut the sentence of a Malaga murderer who stabbed his wife 30 times by eight years has sparked outrage. It comes as the unnamed husband will now serve 17 years instead of 25 after an Andalucian tribunal concluded his actions were “not necessarily” cruel. Furious women’s rights campaigners have rallied against the move as Women’s Link Worldwide, an international organisation headquartered in Madrid, branded it the worst court ruling of the year in terms of women’s rights. Marian Gonzalez, the victim’s sister, said: “The recognition that this is a terrible decision gives me and my family new hope and support as we continue to seek justice for my murdered sister. “Hundreds of people have told the court that it was wrong to issue a reduced sentence, which seems so macho, because stabbing someone 30 times is certainly cruel!” The husband was convicted of murder with aggravated cruelty in Malaga, but the High
STAMP IT OUT: A Madrid homage to women murdered by their partners. Court ruled that the legal idea of cruelty does not conform with the popular conception that it relates to brutality. In a statement, it said that “hitting someone 30 times involves brutality and fury or blind anger, and, in common language, violence, but it does not necessarily equate to cruelty. “It is not enough for the perpetrator to repeatedly execute an aggression capable of causing death, it must have been intended to increase the victim’s suffering, nothing more.” The Women’s Link awards
were created to investigate how court decisions can have both positive and negative impacts on female lives, and this year’s best decision gong was given to the Canary Islands Court of Justice after a divorced domestic violence victim won the rights to her dead ex-husband’s pension. It comes after three women died within 24 hours at the end of last month at the hands of their partners. Thirty women having been killed in domestic violence incidents across Spain since the turn of the year.

Money traps return A PAIR of controversial speed cameras are going to be reintroduced to the A-7 motorway in Mijas. Spain’s Traffic Department (DGT) announced the return of the two devices in the second week of June. In 2015, they were the two most active cameras in the entire country, with one handing out 27,552 speeding tickets and the other close behind with 26,721. The cameras had been de-activated due to repair work carried out on the structures they were attached to. DGT has said they hope the re-activation of the devices will help drivers keep to the 80kmh speed limit, making the roads a safer place. Critics say they are placed strategically to fine the maximum number of drivers with safety not an issue as the central government rake in the profits.

All eyes on UK British poll takes place today ALL eyes are on the UK as the nation today (Thursday) goes to the polls to select a new government. By tomorrow (Friday) the British electorate will know who is to lead them from 10 Downing Street for up to the next five years, with Theresa May heading the Conservative Party, Jeremy Corbyn the Labour Party, Tim Farron the Liberal Democrats, Nicola Sturgeon the Scottish National Party, Leanne Wood Plaid Cymru, and Paul Nuttall UKIP, with Caroline Lucas and Jonathan Bartley jointly leading the Green Party. While in recent General Elections and other national votes opinion polls and national forecasts have frequently been inaccurate, in the countdown to to-
day’s election they have pointed to a Conservative victory despite the Labour party making up ground. Thousands of British expats in Spain will have taken part in today’s vote if they have only left to live abroad within the last 15 years, although there have been mixed reports concerning the arrival of ballot papers with some councils sending them out very quickly and others taking their time. Both leaders consider this the most important General Election for years, and while politicians call for a united country, the result is more likely to highlight deep divides between many UK regions. • Maddocks View On Life – Page 87

Unlucky for some WHILE Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky day in most Western countries, superstitious souls in Spain view Tuesday as the day to dread. This is because Tuesdays are said to be dominated by Ares, the G r e e k G o d o f Wa r, w h o w a s known as Mars in Ancient Rome and gave his name to dies martis (Tuesday) in Latin, which later became martes in Spanish. Events such as the fall of Constantinople to the Fourth Crusade, which happened on Tues-

1453, added more weight to the belief that bad things happen on a Tuesday. In Greek, Tuesday is known as Tr i t i , m e a n i n g t h e t h i r d o f t h e week, and this has further boosted the superstition since bad luck supposedly ‘comes in threes.’ There is even a traditional Spanish proverb which warns: ‘En martes, ni te cases, ni te embarques, ni de tu casa te apartes’ [On Tuesday, don’t get married, don’t get on a boat, don’t even leave your house]. Occurring in months which start on a Thursday, next Tuesday marks the first and only occasion that sufferers of trezidavomartiofobia (fear of Tuesday 13th) need fret this year.
OTHER widespread superstitions in Spain include an aversion to the colour yellow, which is traditionally said to represent sulphur and the devil. Thus, Spaniards will not wear yellow in certain situations including jo b in te rv iew s a nd e xa ms ,

Summer fire ban now in place ANDALUCIA’S fire ban is to be enforced until at least mid-October. The Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning has banned the use of fire in all fields throughout Andalucia as well as banning motor vehicles from driving through forested areas. The 2009 legislation activates the ban every summer to try and reduce the number of wildfires in the region. It also prohibits the burning of vegetation or agricultural waste and the use of barbecues even in desig-
nated areas at camping resorts and any area within 400 metres of a forest. A spokesperson for the Environment councillor, Juan Servan, said areas “will be monitored” by authorities to ensure the rules are enforced. Barbecues will only be permitted in tourist establishments, rural restaurants, educational camps and traditional ovens and boilers used for distillation. Prior authorisation from provincial Environmental delegations will however be required.

Key witness SPANISH Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy will appear as a witness in a major corruption trial involving members of the governing conservative Partido Popular. Spain’s High Court called on the politician to give evidence in person at the so-called Gurtel trial and it is expected he will appear at a court in San Fernando de Henares near Madrid in July. The case centres on a vast cash for contracts kickback scheme that is alleged to have helped finance Mr Rajoy’s PP, which has faced repeated accusations of corruption. The 62year-old leader is not accused of wrongdoing but it is believed as the head of the party since 2004, he could provide key evidence.

Cáceres STONE WALLS: A medieval city. THE medieval city of Caceres has a starring role in the new series of the award-winning Game of Thrones, its stone walls and fortifications making it an ideal choice to be cast in the drama. Early in the morning or at dusk, visitors almost feel they have stepped into a time machine and returned to the Middle Ages, such is the feel of history all around. A lively university city with a population of 95,814, its old town Ciudad Monumental is a UNESCO world heritage site and is an impressive reminder of the past. It is 300km south west of Madrid, in the region of Extremadura, a drive of about three hours. It is a mixture of gothic and renaissance architecture and the narrow cobbled streets twist and climb amongst the ancient stone walls, a skyline decorated with turrets, gargoyles and enormous stork nests. The streets are packed with shops and taverns; people can enjoy full-bodied red wines, cherry, blackberry and chestnut liqueurs and cheese made from the milk of Merino sheep. Caseres is also famous for its food; stews, roast meats - especially pork, lamb and game - all recipes with a rich country tradition. The provincial capital of the province of Caceres, it has been home to Romans, Visigoths, moors and Spanish after the reconquest and it is situated on the Via de la Plata, the pilgrims’ route from Sevilla to Santiago de Compostela.

AS more councils in Spain tighten up their regulations concerning dog ownership and traceability, a new phenomenon seems to have appeared. One of the aims of the regulations is to cut down the amount of dog excrement seen on the streets and to some extent this is working, but there is a hidden surprise. Whilst owners have started to carry ‘poop bags’ with them and do stop to pick up the faeces, many appear to be unable to decide where to safely dispose of the bags and suddenly there are lots of little black bags appearing on pavements, roads or thrown onto waste plots. It’s a double-edged sword as there are fewer piles of poo on the streets which must make it safer for children, but there is the problem of cute little bags waiting to be picked up and opened. At least when it rained heavily or when the sun was at its strongest, the dog mess was either washed away or petrified, but now it has the potential to sit and fester within its own little home. Dog ownership comes with responsibility, not only for the well-being of the dog itself, but for those who don’t have a dog and for the sake of public health and pride, public bins should be used to dispose of the mess.

. MARKET: Police are scanning stalls for pirate goods A SPECIAL police investigation into counterfeit goods led to five arrests and the seizure of hundreds of items at a Costa del Sol market. Marbella police conducted an intensive search of stalls at the market on Avenida Manolete in Nueva Andalucia. Eight plainclothed officers and four uniformed took part in the latest action against pirate sellers. They found 654 counterfeit sales items at five different stalls. The men arrested and charged were Moroccan, Senegalese and Spanish. Public Security councillor Javier Porcuna hailed the op-
eration. He warned that police now have special training in intellectual property and are well equipped to identify counterfeit goods. Porcuna said such operations would continue to help protect local and legitimate small businesses who paid good money for genuine articles. He announced additional counterfeit patrols on the Paseo Maritimo and throughout Puerto Banus this summer to help rid the city of pirate vendors. In the past three months alone police have seized more than 4,000 counterfeit items in Marbella.

Investigators say that the site has seen “uncontrolled flytipping of all types of dangerous construction and demolition waste, plus large amounts of cut vegetation.” They concluded that the tip represents a “serious danger to the environment and the balance of natural ecosystems, as
well as a significant fire risk.” The space is supposedly managed by a society formed by five companies with the town hall fully aware. They are accused of issuing ‘false certificates’ suggesting the landfill to be legal to clients who contracted them for waste management. Experts also found that there is no rainwater drainage system, that waste is deposited directly on the ground, and that
controls for emissions and accumulation of natural gases, some flammable, are entirely lacking, while there are no fire breaks or perimeter fencing. The situation is further complicated by the presence of rare flora, including endangered species, meaning a wild fire could have ‘catastrophic’ consequences on biodiversity and even threaten the nearby Maro-Cerro Gordo cliffs.

Santander said in a statement it would raise around €7 billion in new capital as part of the rescue process “which will cover the capital and the provisions required to reinforce the balance sheet of Banco Popular. “The current shareholders of Banco Santander will have preferential subscription rights in the share capital increase. Banco Santander holds underwriting commitments for the total of such amount.”

Nobu opens first restaurant in Spain - Marbella Nobu Restaurant & Lounge, the first Nobu to open in Spain, is set to launch on June 15 at Puente Romano, Marbella. The new restaurant will introduce Nobu’s worldrenowned New Style cuisine to the resort’s discerning guests. Inventive style, known as Nobu-San style, has joined Japanese cooking and Peruvian flavours. The Nobu menu will offer a mouth-watering array of signature dishes including Black Cod Miso, Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeño and Tiradito, as well as speciality plates inspired by Marbella itself. Nobu is known for his playful cuisine and creativity as well as keeping his regular guests intrigued by
introducing them to new tastes and flavours. Nobu-San enjoys sharing his recipes and once humorously stated: “They can copy the recipes, but they cannot copy the heart that I put into each recipe.” Drawing on inspiration from the ingredients themselves, Nobu has created a stunning menu filled with incredible dishes, each delivered with beautiful presentation, a feast for all the senses. Nobu’s signature cocktails, crafted by master mixologists, will be served alongside its Bar Menu in the Nobu Lounge. It has a chic and refined design
that is set to have an electric atmosphere adjacent to the restaurant and overlooking Puente Romano’s famous ‘La Plaza.’ Designed by StudioPCH Malibu, Nobu Restaurant & Lounge Marbella will balance comfortable simplicity with natural materials and textures, consistent with the recently refurbished resort’s contemporary aesthetic. Nobu Marbella will serve dinner every day from 7.30pm - 1am. Nobu Lounge will offer a Bar Menu from 7.30pm and Nobu Bar will serve cocktails accompanied by music from live DJs until 4am on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Porsche thief gives up
Man caught
A CAR thief was forced to abandon a high-end vehicle in Marbella after realising there was a 13-month-old baby on the back seat. The bizarre incident occurred after the child’s mother parked her Porsche Cayenne outside her husband’s business near the Bellamar school in the city centre. After leaving the keys in the ignition, she was shocked to see the car speeding away, immediately calling the police, but the vehicle was abandoned just 200 metres down the road.

Stolen van contained gasoline A-7 motorway for several kilometres almost causing accidents with other cars as well as trying to ram the Guardia Civil car. Eventually he stopped and having abandoned the vehicle ran off leaving
the officers to discover that the van was stolen in Madrid and contained 38 plastic canisters each containing 20 litres of gasoline believed to have been taken from a waste management company.

It is possible that the fuel was due to be used by local drug smugglers to power their boats which go back and forth to Morocco and officers are keeping their eyes open for the escaped driver and similar movements of fuel.

PALACE WALL: The gypsy girl who has caused the argument.

without permission on buildings throughout the city but one in particular, that of a gypsy girl has been placed on the wall of the Episcopal Palace. The mayor of Malaga, Francisco de la Torre has admitted that he likes the concept of the art, but has received complaints from the Malaga Bishopric saying that the Palace is classified as a Building of Good Cultural Interest (BIC) and should be removed. As the Bishopric did not receive an immediate response to its complaint, it has reportedly made a separate complaint to the Department of Culture of the Junta de Andalucia and the mayor has indicated that he will wait for the ruling from the Junta. He did however point out that as the majority of artwork appears on buildings which are not classed as BIC then it was up to the owners to decide whether they wished to keep or remove the designs which are affixed with industrial glues. The opposition PSOE party also criticises the fact that the image has appeared on the Palace, but a local art expert has suggested that the artwork is more important than the building. Invader has now placed 3,481 of these artworks in 71 cities in Europe and North Africa and is quoted as saying “I define myself as an UFA, an Unidentified Free Artist. I chose Invader as my pseudonym and I always appear behind a mask. “As such, I can visit my own exhibitions without any visitors knowing who I really am even if I stand a few steps away from them. Since 1998, I have developed a large scale project, code name: Space Invaders.” In the same way that British artist Banksy has gained a following in the art world, some of Invader’s pieces have been removed and sold to collectors.

Spanish hero dead following attack on London Bridge THE Spanish Foreign Minister Alfonso Dastis has criticised British authorities for
not acting quickly enough to identify a Spaniard believed to have been killed in Satur-
day’s attack which left seven people dead. Thirty-nine-year-old lawyer
Ignacio Echeverría was last seen fighting off the three terrorists with his skateboard as they attacked a woman. On Tuesday night the journalist and aunt of Ignacio, Isabel Durán, appeared to confirm the death in an emotive tweet saying, “Ignacio Echeverría attacked the terrorists to try to save a woman. He is in the sky with his inseparable skateboard.” But later she apologised for giving the painful news when she realised it wasn’t official. Mr Echeverría’s worried parents flew to London from their home near Madrid. It is thought identification took so long because Mr Echeverría was not carrying any identification after he had been participating in sport. Police said they needed fingerprint confirmation before identifying any victim and Boris Johnson, the Foreign Secretary, insisted that protocols must be followed before making identities public. Sadly however, his family finally confirmed that he died

Heroic act draws praise TRIBUTES are pouring in for a Local Police officer from Fuengirola after he saved a drowning woman in the middle of the night. The drama unfolded just after half-past-one in the morning, when a hotel guest made an emergency call informing police that a person was drowning off Los Boliches beach. Two traffic officers, Angel Lobaton and Manuel Madrid,
were nearby, and on arriving at the scene they found a couple who were friends of the victim alongside a group of teenagers, none of whom had seen her for several minutes. After Madrid spotted her 150 metres offshore using his torch, Lobaton pulled off his uniform and swam in her direction. Having got the 33-year-old Ukrainian, who had been drinking, onto dry land she
began to vomit but soon recovered from the ordeal. “As a professional I am proud to save a life and to have been there when the citizen needed it,” said Lobaton.

First year of Butterfly Children Charity Bench ON June 1, DEBRA Butterfly Children’s Charity celebrated the first anniversary of its charity bench situated at the peak of La Concha (1,215m). The bench was the brainchild of local Marbella fireman José Pérez Bellido. José wanted to give visibility to Butterfly Skin at the same time as offering a place for visitors of the mountain to rest and take in the views. With the help of his fellow firemen, la Obra Social ‘la Caixa’ and the town hall, in 2016, Jose saw his dream become a reality. Since then hundreds of visitors have made use of the bench and shared their selfies with the hashtags #Banc Solidario and @pieldemari posa to create awareness of the cause. To celebrate the anniver-
sary of this unique initiative a group of special individuals set off intent on reaching the peak. Nieves Montero, founder of the charity and mother of an affected child was accompanied by Paco Raez, a local fireman but primarily the father of Pablo Raez who lost his fight against Leukaemia despite his hard work in creating awareness of the need for bone marrow transplants. Also supporting the families was the local Marbella boxer Antonio ‘El Chato’ Benitez who is recovering after receiving a devastating blow whilst defending his title of Spanish champion, plus the instigator of the idea, Jose Perez Bellido, who was accompanied by his firefighting colleagues, representatives of the Municipal Police of Marbella, the Na-

Two faces of Naseema NASEEMA CARLISLE was born and will die a Muslim. However, her life in reality has two faces, for when in Spain - where she mainly lives - few but her closest friends realise her faith, even though she is proud of it. When residing in Spain she assimilates her attire to match Western customs. But when she annually visits family in her native Malaysia each winter for up to two months she wears a headscarf when out with aunts and uncles and goes dry, not drinking any alcohol. She dresses and acts exactly the same as many other local Muslims in Malaysia. While not choosing to wear a burka, she covers her hair with a full scarf when out with family ‘and I wear only a little make-up.’ This is a far cry from when she is in Spain, for though she dresses conservatively compared to many Spanish and visiting tourists (not wearing short skirts or tight skimpy tops) Naseema does not purposefully hide her religion. “The global call that we should wear a burka and cover up in public totally to me is mainly driven by frequently uneducated men who seek to control women so that it is of benefit to them, but of no benefit to the women,” she says. But this does not mean that when in Spain, Naseema forgets her religion. She regularly gets out her prayer mat at her smart threebedroom duplex apartment in Calpe, on the Costa Blanca, ‘especially when [she is] feeling down.’ Living alone having separated from her British-born husband of more than 20 years prior to her own move to Spain from Thailand eight years ago, the couple met when both were working in Singapore. They later married in a civil ceremony in the UK where they then settled to bring up their own now
grown-up daughters.. Now aged 53, Naseema has in fact spent around half of her life living abroad in non-Muslim countries. Shortly after meeting Alan some of her former school friends who wore burkas and sarongs (traditional Malay attire) ‘began to distance themselves,’ as ‘they did not see me as the same person.’
Some of the burkas are very colourful and appear to have become a fashion statement.”
“But I still respect my religion and though I choose not to wear a sarong when in Malaysia I fully respect my local culture.” Even so she feels many of the Muslim girls in Malaysia ‘cover up to be the same as friends and to compete on how they look.’ “Some of the burkas are very colourful and appear to have become a fashion statement.” Viewing life internationally, Naseema supports the belief that people living in foreign countries should follow local traditions. “If I was in Saudi Arabia, I would cover up fully as it is part of the local culture,” she adds. “But in Spain I have no desire to wear my religion so firmly on my sleeve and show I am Muslim. I have no need. I dress conservatively and make sure I do not stand out, but enjoy wearing jeans, dresses and high fashion clothes, depending on the occasion. “I also drink in bars with friends, wear more make-up than I do in Malaysia, and occasionally eat bacon which I love. “When I die it will be between me and my God,” she concludes.

After a decade of debate the future
Big question Does outlawing the Muslim headdress improve security or alienate a vulnerable minority? David Noon weighs up the pros and cons of a burka ban FOR more than a decade, Spain has tussled with the idea of banning the burka. Those for the ban argue that burkas support outdated sexist ideologies and pose a security threat. While those opposed to it say that outlawing the burka will alienate a vulnerable minority and gives Islamist extremists further ammunition to carry out acts of terror. While some towns (mainly in Cataluña) have enforced a partial ban, a nationwide blanket ban on the Muslim headdress has yet to come to fruition. The debate has failed to go away for 10 years and looks likely to rumble on for some time yet. What Spain does next is anyone’s guess. Tensions between European Muslims and non-Muslims have never been as high as they are right now. A spate of terrorist attacks by Islamist extremists in France, Belgium and the UK - including the London Bridge killing rampage at the weekend - has only intensified the arguments of those claiming that burkas should be banned across Europe. But is it the time to risk further alienating a culture that is already feeling cut-off or is it time to put political correctness to one side and stop worrying about hurting people’s feelings? In Cataluña, as many as a dozen municipalities have laws against the face coverings including the burka and the niqab. The town of Lerida was the first to do so in 2010, introducing a ban on the headwear in municipal buildings. In the same year, a similar ban was introduced in Coin in Andalucia’s Guadalhorce Valley. However, just three years later
BEHIND THE BURKA: Many fear burkas will be used by terroris Spain’s Supreme Court overturned the law in both towns, ruling that it ‘limits religious freedom.’ Even so other areas have continued to implement their ban, bolstered by a 2014 ECHR (European Court of Human Rights) ruling that banning the veil does not breach human rights. In the same year, Spain’s interior minister Jorge Fernández Díaz said that the government was considering including a burka ban in national security reforms. In fact, proposals for a ban were part of a draft bill but were eventually knocked on the head before it passed through parliament.
And while Spain has debated the issue (almost to death), its European neighbours have been clamping down. France - most notably - outlawed the burka in 2011, with Belgium, the Netherlands and Bulgaria following suit. Germany is about to make it illegal to wear burkas while driving. And just last month, the Austrian parliament passed a bill banning the burka in public, issuing fines of up to €150 for those wearing full-face veils. Outside Europe, the burka is banned in many African countries (including Morocco) for security reasons. Last month, the Iraqi government

e of the burka remains unanswered
facing Spain

When a burka isn’t a burka THE term burka is largely used in non-Muslim countries to label all forms of Muslim headdress. In reality, burkas themselves are infrequently worn and there are dozens of forms of headdress sported by Muslim women. Knowing the difference is important before casting any judgement or passing any laws. The most popular headdresses are the burka, the niqab, the hijab and the chador.

even took the unprecedented step of banning the burka in the city of Mosul in a bid to clamp down on Daesh militants using the headdress as a disguise. But does that mean Spain should follow suit? While the threat of a terrorist attack in Spain has remained high since Daesh rose to prominence a couple of years ago, none has been carried out on mainland Spain since the Madrid train bombings in 2004. Instead of improving security, introducing a ban now could have the opposite effect and make Spain a target. It also has huge social implications which undermine the freedom of daily life in Europe. By outlawing certain clothing, the freedom that Europe prides itself on would be ironically undermined. The only time the government should restrict personal choice is if it can cause considerable harm to others. Maybe the burka does, maybe not? And that is the conundrum that Spanish politicians have been wrestling with for a decade.
Many point to the limitations of identifying people wearing a burka as being conducive to terrorism. While at the same time, implementing a ban undermines freedom of choice and punishes all Muslims for the actions of a minority of extremists. The best estimates state that 106,000 of the 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide are members of designated Islamic extremist groups, meaning just 0.006 per cent of the Muslim population are extremists. Similarly, many point to the burka as a symbol of female oppression, especially contradictory to Spain’s liberal attitude where women regularly sunbath topless without thinking twice. Yet, some Muslim women value the sense of privacy that comes with the burka. For every reason to ban the burka there is a contradictory argument why it shouldn’t be outlawed. If Spain takes the bold decision for such a ban it needs to be for the right reason. Not just a knee-jerk reaction to fear. Maybe - for once - Spain’s slow and steady judicial process is the right action to take.
WHEN France outlawed the burka in 2011, it came under immense pressure from global bodies to reverse the decision. However, as the threat of terrorist attacks from Islamic extremists continues to mount, a raft of European neighbours have quickly come round to the French way of thinking. Hot on the heels of the French, Belgium outlawed the headdress later in 2011. By 2015, the Netherlands had outlawed the burka along with Latvia and Bulgaria.
A year later and Switzerland was in on the ban, imposing fines of up to €10,000 for those wearing full-face veils in public. Meanwhile in some parts of Italy, local authorities banned ‘burkinis’ or full Islamic swimming costumes last summer. Austria is the latest country to ban the burka (imposing the law last month) and Germany is pushing through a bill to ban the headdress while driving. Which European countries follow suit remains to be seen.

As the economy is relatively buoyant, the government wants to repay a further €2 billion later this year but has had to apply to the MEDE, a division of the fund for permission to do this and any payment will depend upon the amount fitting in with the fund’s finance plans.

THE Spanish Post Office has jumped on the Star Wars wagon and could make €1 million from a single stamp. It has just released a sheet containing one postage stamp with a face value of €5 and five labels which look like stamps but are simply unvalued labels in a ‘limited edition’ of 300,000 which means that if all are sold, the Post Office will receive €1.5 million.
The cost of the sheetlets is unlikely to be more than 20c per sheet, but the main cost will be the licence fee.
A postage stamp is a receipt for a service yet to be fulfilled and by producing the sheetlet in this manner using a value that doesn’t actually cover any postal rate (the nearest being €4.85 and €5.25), it has been suggested that this is purely a money making operation. The cost of production of the sheetlets which use a form of lenticular (adding depth to an image) printing developed several years ago by the Spanish State Printers is unlikely to cost more than 20c per sheet, but the main cost will be the licence fee charged by The Walt Disney Company. Normally, licence deals require a recoverable advance guarantee and a percentage of revenue earned but assuming that this is no more than 25

Even more unusual is the fact that customers can also spend €20 on purchasing two different Star Wars cash cards to which they can add funds and use in any outlet that accepts MasterCard.
Numbers of unemployed still falling THE month of May is historically a good one for employment and 2017 is no exception with a fall in unemployment of 111,908 people. This takes the number of unemployed to 3,461,128, the lowest level in eight years and to add to the good news, 223,192 new workers were added to the Social Security lists. Whilst the fall in unemployment is without question helpful to the economy, much of the work created will last for the summer only and then these figures will creep up again before falling in the run up to Christmas. More young people are being employed, but the increase is smaller in percentage terms than for older people and many who have good skills but no work are looking to other parts of Europe and the USA as potential work places, making it more difficult in some areas of industry and hospitality to recruit good quality staff.
Mariano Rajoy and Canary Islands leader Román Rodríguez agree terms for budget. can simply renew the 2017 budget and carry on. The budget which sees less
cuts and forecasts more income and expenditure now has to be passed by the upper house but
as the ruling PP has a clear majority in the Senate, approval should be forthcoming.

THE 2017 Spanish budget was finally approved last Thursday even though Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy voted against an amendment by mistake. From an economic point of view this was a very important vote and the minority ruling party had to offer a number of ‘sweeteners’ to smaller and regional parties in order to gather sufficient votes to carry the day. With a renewed opposition now that Pedro Sanchez has been re-appointed as leader of the PSOE - even though he is no longer an MP - the government can expect a much harder time in the future. Under the Spanish Constitution however, if the government continues to hold power as there may be a vote of no confidence in it shortly - and its 2018 budget is voted down, it

Spanish budget for 2017 has finally been accepted VISIT: King Felipe with Mr Modi.
India looks to Spain for investment in economy SOON after she became Prime Minister, Theresa May travelled to India to try to obtain business, but in contrast the Indian Prime Minister has visited Spain. The visit by Narendra Modi is the first official visit by an Indian leader to Spain for 30 years and is part of a short tour of Europe which included France, Germany and Russia, but ignored the UK. Whilst Britain is hoping to increase direct trade with India, the Indian government has its eyes firmly fixed on investment from Europe and Mr Modi met with a number of CEOs from major Spanish companies inviting them to considering investing in the growing Indian economy. He went on to meet King Felipe and discussed the need for India to develop its railways, and infrastructure which were two of a number of areas where Spanish companies could find opportunities to create new companies in the sub-continent.

LEVEL: First cheap Spanish long haul airline.
Pay as you fly – it’s on the Level A NEW economy long haul airline owned by the IAG Group has taken off from Barcelona with almost every item costing extra. Level is offering a range of different cost options with the cheapest guaranteeing a seat and hand luggage only with additional charges for, suitcase, seat choice, food, drink, wifi, in-flight entertainment, toothbrush and blanket. Passengers are used to paying for everything on short haul flights but with flights to Buenos Aires, Los Angeles and San Francisco taking up to 13 hours and to the Dominican Republic 11 hours it is likely that passengers will require food and drink at least. IAG which owns Aer Lin-
gus, BA, Iberia and Vueling has announced that this new option attracted 134,000 advance ticket purchases prior to the first flight departure to Los Angeles last Thursday and will attract a whole new group of travellers flying long haul for the first time.
Passengers can pay extra for seat choice, food, drink, wifi, in-flight entertainment and a blanket. Whilst much has been made of the need to pay for everything and the lack of trolleys going through the cabin, the new airline is introducing a fleet of new A330
Airbuses and there are all inclusive options in economy and premium economy plus Avios points which can be used on any airline in the group will be awarded. The initial launch saw no frills flights as cheap as €149 one way but even paying full fare, costs are considerably cheaper than other airlines offering similar facilities. Seeing off the first flight, Willie Walsh, IAG’s chief executive said: “This is the start of a fantastic new adventure for IAG. The brand has resonated with a new audience, many of whom are flying long haul for the first time. “In 2018, Level will increase its fleet to five aircraft and we are considering other European bases for the operation.”
Inflation rates drop MORE good news for the Spanish economy as inflation rates fall to match the European Central Bank (ECB) target of 2 per cent. May consumer prices have risen at their lowest rate since December 2016 and the result has been that Spain has met the ECB inflation target for the first time in five months which is encouraging. Germany however sees an even lower
rate of inflation at 1.6 per cent and the euro zone as a whole stands at 1.9 per cent so Spain needs to ensure that it takes action to try to remain close to the target figure. Some raw material price increases will be reflected in consumer prices later in the year, but it is forecast that the Spanish economy will continue to prosper during 2017.

Drastic times call for drastic measures LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT WELL well. I almost don’t know what to write this week (I can hear the squeals of delight from here!). The reason being, that in the light of yet another terrorist atrocity, Ms May has finally echoed, if not all, certainly a number of the Leapy ‘rantings’ I’ve taken stick for over the years. Shame they’ve come too late to save scores of precious lives. Better late than never? Not, for the tragic victims. Still at least her recent Downing Street statement showed that she, and hopefully the rest of her cabinet, are finally emerging from all the years of appeasing denial which allowed us to be drawn into this dangerous and horrific state of affairs in the first place. What she failed to mention was, in the light of this new tough approach to Islamist terrorism (yes she actually admitted it folks; I wonder if the
traitor Obama would have done the same!?) was to say exactly what these ‘new measures’ would include? Well, apart from reiterating my suggestions of last week, ie, stopping provocative, hate inspired marches through the streets of towns that have b e come pre-
dominantly Islamic. Banning public ‘religious rituals,’ such as selfflagellation and the ilk and outlawing the hated full Burka, I would also suggest; cancelling the passports of any ethnic young men travelling to Mid-East countries without thoroughly bona fide reason. Interring and interrogating any suspected of

returning from terrorist conflict areas. Banning streets being taken over for prayers, denying planning permission for any more Mosques and probably most controversial, but undoubtedly the most effective deterrent of all, deporting back to their country of origin, the entire family of all those who commit acts of terror. Bit drastic? Well drastic times call for drastic measures. If they save even one innocent person’s life, to my mind any action is worth the uproar of indignation that would no doubt issue from the ‘do gooders’ that still lurk among us in their towers of ivory and never-ending pacifistic and dangerous opinions.

Well, by the time you read this the first results should be coming in. Let’s hope that the week is a proverbial long one in politics and Ms May has managed to redeem herself from what, to my mind has been a pretty disastrous campaign. Still the alternatives don’t even bear thinking about. Frankly the thought of Corbyn and the ilk of Diane Abbott preening on the steps of number 10 and ultimately sitting around the Brexit negotiating table, actually brings a shudder. Likewise the idea of Nicola Sturgeon ‘propping up’ Labour on a ‘policy by policy’ basis, is even more terrifying. Thanks for all your letters of support, particularly those of last week. They all mean a great deal, let’s hope a couple find their way to the letters page. Have a good week, Make sure your X marks the spot of good sense and whatever you do. Always Keep the Faith.

WHAT a boring, unexciting election campaign we had overall! But it’s sad that, initially at least, Theresa May had to resort to personal smears on the opposition leader in an attempt to garner votes. She made a fundamental mistake in attacking Jeremy Corbyn’s integrity. Every attack she made gave him credibility and the impression that not being Mr Corbyn was the only policy that she had - other than negotiating ‘aggressively’ on Brexit. As for Corbyn and the Labour party, for those of us who recall growing up at the end of the 70’s when the trade unions brought their own ‘coalition of chaos’ to the UK, and Labour’s economic incompetence gave rise to spiralling inflation, it’s beyond belief that they nonetheless seemed happy to foist on
BORING CAMPAIGN: Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May. younger generations a multibillion-pound debt with their wild promises and ‘magic money tree.’ Well, remember the economic mismanagement of a previous Labour government? Step forward Mr Gordon Brown, ‘saviour of the world.’ And nearly destroyer of Britain. And as for Corbyn’s admission that the UK’s in-
volvement in Middle Eastern and North African wars has been a factor in breeding terrorism, step forward Mr Tony Blair. If this were the end of a full five-year term of office, the Conservatives would have been facing a landslide against them for their incompetence on most levels with Theresa May a liability. This, though, was an election for
socialism of 1945 versus Conservatism and things should have been in the Conservatives’ favour, what with a controversial Labour Party, a controversial Labour leader and a ‘wish list manifesto.’ In the final analysis, which is better: an incompetent Conservative government or the alternatives on offer? Well, whatever your choice it just goes to show that this was a negative election. There was no positive sounding of hope anywhere. The vote will inevitably be for the least bad option. So, a negative election with little hope and probably higher taxes whoever’s elected. Actually, probably one of the most negative, depressing, unimpressive campaigns of the past 20 years.

Go for it Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
METROSCOPIA and CIS opinion polls found that support for independence inside Cataluña is at its lowest since rumblings were first heard years ago. Both the national government and Cataluña are deadlocked because the only thing that can settle the issue once and for all is a referendum. There is no provision for a unilateral referendum in Spain’s Constitution but even an illegal one would be better than Carles Puigdemont’s threatened unilateral declaration of independence. It would put the 62 per cent of Catalans who don’t go along with his plans out of their misery and the rest of Spain too.
Skinning the rabbit SPAIN’S president Mariano Rajoy vowed that the government will use everything within its power to prevent Cataluña’s referendum. But what, apart from force, can it use? On the other hand, if a referendum is unstoppable Rajoy can put the boot in gently but destructively by mentioning the little question of state pensions. Or the small matter of EU membership. There’s more than one way of skinning a rabbit.
Seeing is believing NAPOLEON the pig said in Animal Farm that all animals are equal but some are more equal than others. By the same token probably all politicians are corruptible but some are more corrupt than others. Poli-
CATALUÑA: The only thing that can settle the issue once and for all is a referendum. tical parties usually have their quota of rotten apples but in Spain the Partido Popular appears to have a monopoly and Mariano Rajoy’s spluttering promises of transparency have yet to bear fruit. To top it all his Minister of Justice and Attorney General are allegedly close to principal players in the Lezo corruption case and the Public Prosecutor responsible for Anti-Corruption resigned after his offshore account in Panama came to light. The aphorism about ‘Justice must be done and must also be seen to be done’ does not have a Spanish equivalent, more’s the pity.
Very different ballgame BARÇA star Lionel Messi got 21 months for tax fraud although he won’t do time as his was a non-violent offence and he doesn’t have a criminal record. Team-mate Neymar also has tax issues and it looks as though their arch-rival, Madrid player Cristiano Ronaldo could have problems too. All are bad boys for not doing their fiscal duty and robbing Haciendo of its dues, but what about the corrupt politicos and ex-politicos who have done the same? Obscenely overpaid players get rich through the sweat of their brows and by pushing a football around with their expensively sponsored twinkle-toes. Shyster politicians past and present are infinitely worse because they got rich on public money. And they’re less entertaining to watch.

THURSDAY THOUGHTS By Angus Silvie
Why no headphones? THE other day I took a bus to Malaga. Well, the driver did, I was just a passenger. As we moved off a young man sat next to me and decided to forcefully entertain all the passengers, but me in particular, by blaring some tinny drum beat ‘music’ out of the woeful speakers on his phone. My plans for a dreamy stare out of the window were put on hold as this awful noise assaulted my ears. It got me thinking what it is about human beings and their selfish need to impose their musical tastes on others. Hardly a day goes by when you don’t see a teenager loping along with music blasting out of their hand (via a phone), and here in Spain I regret to say I have seen quite a few old gents doing this too now as they combine running with shuffling in an effort to keep fit. It is not as though they benefit from superior sound quality through this approach, indeed quite the opposite, so why do none of these people use headphones? It can only be the same primal urge that persuades young men in their first cars to open their
windows and pump up the volume to prove that... well, what does it prove? In the 1980s, you might want to show off a big sub-woofer you had just spent the weekend attaching to your parcel shelf. These days, almost all cars have decent speakers as standard so rocking the street in your standard issue Seat Ibiza isn’t going to impress anybody. But here’s the thing - when people look at you in your car because you are banging out what you think is a top tune nobody is impressed anyway. They are looking at you because they are thinking ‘prat,’ not ‘legend.’ So perhaps it is all about dominance. I’m a top dog, you lot are going to listen to my sounds whether you want to or not (that still doesn’t stop us all thinking you’re an idiot, mate). People walking along the pavement wasting their batteries blaring out music because they are too lazy to put headphones on may as well be holding a big sign which says ‘I am a nuisance and a fool’ to complete the effect. On second thoughts, maybe you don’t need the sign.

Do you need a hat? AS part of a new series, we answer some common driving questions, 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.
OPEN TOP CARS: Are usually safe. A REGULAR question that occurs is ‘do you need to have some sort of hat protection when driving in a convertible?’ According to the N332 Guardia Civil team, no. Hat protection is not required when in an open top car. In fact, there is a chance that wearing a hat would prove dangerous if not worn correctly and it blows off potentially blocking the view of other drivers. However, not talking legally, it does make sense to wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun and its harmful rays whilst driving, but it is not a legal requirement. Convertible cars are designed to be as safe as cars with full roofs. They are often fitted with strengthened supports around the windscreen and roll bars although these are not often as clearly fitted as those you see in rally cars. So as long as drivers and passengers are
positioned correctly, sat down, wearing seatbelts in the correct manner, open top cars are usually perfectly safe. As in all vehicles, it is when passengers don’t follow the design and safety guidelines that problems occur and accidents can happen. It is becoming more increasingly common to see occupants with their arms out of the windows or doors and legs up and feet on the dashboard, particularly during the summer months, but this is a dangerous and illegal practice. The legs and feet can obscure the driver’s view, but also, in the event of a collision, as the airbag is deployed, legs over the airbag will feel the full force which can result in serious injuries. The only safe way to sit in any vehicle is within the design of the seat, with the seatbelt securely fastened.

Tattoos – the big picture Photo by LP flickr
Marbella Moments by Nicole King I HAVE to admit that when my kids were in their early teens and brought home a friend with piercings from ears to nose, tattoos on every visible limb and a hair cut that looked like they must have had to anaesthetise him to get the shave so close, it scared the s.t out of me. This reaction I knew was purely as a result of my ‘education’ which had us believe that these attributes come with negative connotations about the person. Even so I reassured myself that my kids are good kids and obviously must see something in this child that I couldn’t through all that ink and metal. Some half hour later this same young teen approached me and said “Can you please call my mummy and ask her if I can stay the night, if that’s OK with you?” Yes, he even used the word mummy and his tone of voice and attitude were so polite and gentle I
TATTOOS: Regret nothing. couldn’t help but laugh at the incongruence. Today many sports and music ‘heroes’ are tattooed to the point of distraction and we all meet many people with loads of tattoos on a daily basis so it certainly doesn’t instigate the same reaction as it used to; it really isn’t a
big deal at all. Some of the artwork is also quite spectacular and can look truly amazing. Even though some professions still consider a tattoo inappropriate, this is not usually a disqualifying feature either if it can be covered during working hours. We’ve come a long way.
What I do feel is lacking however in this new trend is background information. With every passing day more tattoo parlours are opening and more people expose themselves to invasive needles to decorate their bodies, even if it’s just a four-leaf clover on an ankle, without really thinking about what
they’re doing. There is very little information about the actual process and the mishaps of having a tattoo in the media, with the exception of the recent headline about a man who actually died after swimming with a new tattoo. The swimmer who died did have a liver condition, which left him more susceptible, but the instigator of his demise was the flesh-eating bacteria from the water attacking his open wounds! Getting a tattoo is an invasive procedure. It can take days or several weeks for the lacerations to heal so perhaps getting a tattoo whilst on holiday is not such a good idea, however tempting it may be at the time. Sunbathing is also ill advised. What is advisable though is not only to make sure that the artist is good enough to display on your body for a life-time, but that you have all the facts and how they relate to your personal situation beforehand. We wouldn’t want any more people to die from the dye just because they didn’t also think to look at the big picture. www.rtvmarbellanow.com

I am an apeman, a mere animal Trudy Stewart I DON’T think I’ll ever understand humans. We’re such a complicated mess of contradictions - capable of both great kindness and sheer evil. We have come so far in our evolution. Humans are the dominant species on the planet, shaping our environment to suit our needs. Capable of true greatness and achieving so much since those first, faltering steps on two legs. Back in that period of time, I think it’s safe to assume that one of the major stresses in life was preventing yourself from being eaten; not were you about to be gazumped on a lovely, little cave you’d put an offer on. Around 250,000 years ago there was a transition from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens (derived from Latin meaning ‘wise’ or ‘intelligent’). More elaborate stone tools were used and our brains began to increase in size. Over the centuries, that increased brain power has continued to develop allowing us to climb to the top of the food chain and stay there.
Humans no longer need to hunt and gather. Everything we need to survive can be found only a few strides away in our kitchen. For most of us at least. There are still those who don’t have even their most basic needs met either due to poverty or geographical location and I just can’t get my head around that. In the year 2017, after almost 5,000 years of so-called civilization, we still live in a world where people are dying from starvation, lack of shelter, preventable or treatable diseases and war. The gulf between the vastly wealthy and the poorest in society grows ever deeper. With our superior brains in these, supposedly, enlightened times it seems inconceivable that we don’t all have the same opportunities. That we continue to live in a world where people who have more than they will ever need live alongside others who are barely surviving. Evolution equipped us with the tools to
survive but it’s human nature that has pushed us to thrive - ever-expanding and claiming the planet for ourselves. The first weapons we used with our new opposable thumbs allowed us to feed and protect ourselves. Now, we h a v e
weapons capable of obliterating the planet at the push of a button. The arrogance of humans leads us, foolishly, to believe that we own this planet and that our existence here matters. We forget we are mere animals - part of the flora and fauna spinning on a planet as we orbit the sun which will, some day, consume the Earth. As we continue to evolve, my hope is that in another 250,000 years, we will have reached a point where we develop beyond the most basic human traits that drive us now. That no more wars are fought over who has the best God or who owns that particular part of the planet with the special stone or liquid in it. Until every person has the same opportunities and while the sort of conditioned thinking exists that allows us to walk past starving humans on our way to buy an expensive bottle of wine, we may be evolved but we’re a long way from enlightened. trudystewart75@gmail.com

Breeding political contempt I HAVE lived in Spain for 20 years and have been deprived of my right to vote for the UK elections. I cannot vote for the Spanish parliament much as I would like to participate. There are 1.6 million UK citizens living in the EU. There are 3.3 million EU citizens living and/or working in the UK. Theresa and her fellow Brexiteers claim the British people have spoken. Is this true or just an exaggeration, let us look at the figures - 37.4 per cent of the electorate voted to leave, the rest either didn’t vote or voted to remain; 26.7 per cent of the population voted to leave, is this the voice of the British people? I fear not but it does show that apathy is the prelude to the death of
democracy and the fertile ground for a dictatorship or autocracy. What of our future? No one knows. Why the general election, is it for Mrs May to attempt to alienate those that consider that the UK should remain.in the EU? In a free society everyone has the right to express their views, whether they are in conflict with the leader or not. Robert Peake, Mijas
A taxing situation THE annual vehicle tax renewal needs to be made available oline in Spain as
it now is in the UK. I arrived in Spain two weeks ago to find the annual renewal invoice in my mailbox. I proceeded to the bank the next day but after queueing for 15 minutes the cashier told me the bill had ‘expired’ it should have been paid by May 19. There was no alternative but go to the government offices at the marina in Estepona, join the queue and get a new bill with the penalty added! Arriving back at the bank I found the cashier was closed for the payment of bills - I had to be there by 10:30! Too late - come back tomorrow! What takes five minutes online in the UK takes over 24 hours in Spain! Tony Pride, Estepona
COMMENTS from EWN Online John Noakes dies I was sorry to hear of John’s death as he was so much part of my childhood and express my appreciation for all the enjoyment he gave me. My sympathy to his wife Vicky and family at this sad time; may he rest in peace. Hugh McCann

Our younger generation fought evil with good. Fought lies with truth. Fought violence with love. The message to all self-serving politicians, terrorists and pedlars of hatred? It is time to hand over power to the up and coming generation of young people who love each other. It is time to replace hatred with love.

ITV visits Benidorm SIR, Hello, I would like to address your columnist, David the Dogman, this week in the Euro Weekly News he had an article on flying with pets. I have read the article and agree entirely with his opinions and advice, as he mentions about more and more people are moving to Spain or spend a considerable amount of time in Spain. Me and my wife retired here in Spain last year and we have a little dog. When we need to go back to England we have been quoted quite ridiculous fares of 600 euros!!!! This is crazy!! Can we possibly address all airlines who fly to Spanish airports that this is a problem and by admitting especially small dogs who with mild sedatives can sit on the passenger’s knee our little dog is absolutely so well-behaved they wouldn’t even realise he was onboard and the airlines could make a lot of money out of this, albeit a reasonable charge, taking in mind that the dogs have all the neces-
Flying with pets
Just returned from Friday to Friday break, hotel, weather and place visited good, plenty of police around main beach areas. Stag and hen parties numbering upwards of 10 on sea front very loud, boisterous and intimidating. To quote a person who had been visiting for years, Benidorm has lost its sparkle to stags and hen, it is a very different place at night. Drunkenness, fighting and dirty streets. The danger is that the stags and hens spend money on drink in bars, but don't necessarily spend money in the ordinary shops. Don't let it get out of hand.
Nic They must address this issue if they continue to be soft on crimes against holidaymakers the resort will end up being used only by hen and stag dos and this will ruin the resort and encourage more criminals to the resort. Listen to the holidaymakers who have seen a huge difference for the worse in their favourite resort and act now. Jean Hunter
FLYING DOGS: Fares are ridiculously high. sary paperwork and up-to-date passports. I along with many many people would use the service more often. Keep up the good work EWN we look forward to your paper every week. Many thanks, Michael, Crevillent Hello Michael, Unfortunately the ‘budget’ airlines (not cheap) have it all their own way. If you were doing long haul this normally goes through the airline which arranges space in
the hold, meaning it seems cheaper to fly off to the USA than more local destinations. This is all commercial and there certainly is no pressure that can be applied other than numbers. You might want to consider forming a group with a name like ‘Flying Dogs,’ get members and build it up. I will help you through the EWN with some publicity and then you have power to your elbow. Why not have a go? Regards David the Dogman

I have recently been to Benidorm. I witnessed the pea men scamming tourists. I noticed two different groups of pea men just yards apart with their lookouts and pickpockets working with them. The prostitution problem is rife too. They stand outside certain hotels looking for drunk groups of tourists to rob them. It seems much more needs to be done to stop the ongoing problem in Benidorm.
Paul
Neo Nazi food bank closed I have no problem with Spaniards looking after Spaniards. There are plenty of support organisations for other groups; the Jews have organisations such as Jewish Care, Tzedek and World Jewish Relief who ‘combat poverty and disadvantage to the Jewish community.’ Gypsies also have several organisations offering help and support for travellers, including Spain. I wonder why this group is singled out? Europeans are becoming a persecuted group, unable to look after each other. Do we have to wait 30 years to become a minority before we are afforded the same privileges as others groups?

Cannabis found
© EWN MEDIA GROUP
Main Street
WORKING in concert with the Guardia Civil, officers of the Royal Gibraltar Police Marine Section have recovered cannabis valued at £2.6 million. No arrests were made but 19 parcels containing a total of 570 kilograms of the drug were seized and this action was part of an ongoing fight against smuggling of drugs through Gibraltar waters into Spain.
ALTHOUGH there is no specific knowledge of a likely terrorist attack, police vans have been parked on Main Street prior to the installation of bollards. The perceived threat remains at the substantial level and the decision to place the vans in the area is intended to reassure the public and visitors by the creation of a visible street presence.
A MULTI-AGENCY campaign warning youngsters of the danger of sexting (sharing of explicit images via social media) is underway in Gibraltar. Two posters aimed at boys and girls have been produced and it is hoped by explaining the potential problems of sharing such pictures, youngsters will think twice about exposing themselves to the risk of ridicule or even blackmail.

THIS new project of fitting a GPS unit to a Griffon Vulture is not to help its sense of direction but to feed back useful information about its movement during the annual migration. Organised by scientists from the Department of the Environment and the Gibraltar Ornithological & Natural History Society (GONHS) Raptor Unit, the aim is to track the movement of the vulture once released using a lightweight GPS transmitter. This project, known as Vulture track, aims to provide useful information on the wintering grounds of migrating Griffon Vultures in Africa as well as the movements and
foraging patterns of the birds in their breeding grounds in Europe. The first Vulture to be fitted with a solar-powered GPS tracker, known as Harry, was successfully released from the top of the Rock and it immediately continued with its onward journey. It was also fitted with a unique wing-tag to help scientists identify the bird in the field. The Vulture had been brought down by resident gulls and was cared for by the experts at the GONHS Raptor Unit. In addition to providing valuable research information that can be used for conservation and environmental education, the pro-

False alarm AFTER receiving a number of telephone alerts that a young man was walking around Gibraltar carrying a sword over his shoulder police stopped him. He proceeded to show officers the ‘sword’ which actually turned out to be a musical instrument kept in a case for protection and he was then allowed to continue on this way.

THE sudden death of the co-founder of the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party (GSLP) and former minister Juan Carlos Perez came as a great surprise. Whilst it was known that the 61-yearold was not in the best of health suffering from heart problems, he was still mobile - often having to use a walking stick but his brain was certainly still very active. Perhaps in keeping with his staunch political views, he passed away at the Watergardens headquarters of the GSLP after filing the latest edition of The New People, the newspaper of which he was editor. A committed trade unionist from an early age, Mr Perez was responsible for promoting the growth of unions in Gibraltar before turning to politics and serving in parliament from 1984 until 2003 including eight years as a minister.

Unexpected death of former politician His former Chief Minister and friend Joe Bossano with whom he founded the GSLP mourned his loss and spoke fondly of him whilst current Chief Minister Fabian Picardo tweeted ‘RIP friend, comrade, brother, political giant Juan Carlos. You believed in me from the beginning and never let me down. I will miss you always.’
Mr Perez was responsible for promoting the growth of unions in Gibraltar. Opposition politicians also expressed their regret at the loss of this figure who meant so much to many Gibraltarians and as well as numerous cousins, he leaves behind his mother and sister.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) When your feelings are so positive, which they should be now, it is hard to remember that they have ever been any other way.

Book that course and maybe you will meet them there.

Don’t put off looking after your health any more than you would put off stashing a cheque in the bank. Use it or lose it? You know it makes sense. Think about combining health with a holiday.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Leave nothing to chance when it comes to your health. Although you are feeling good now you will soon have problems because you are more concerned with others than yourself. This can be good but can also be overdone. You know how good you can feel. Increase this by simply not accepting second-best treatment. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Your tendency to see yourself through the eyes of others can lead you to undervalue your worth. This could see you going pear-shaped, emotionally. Try not to believe everything that you are told because there are always at least two ways of seeing things. Be positive.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Concentrate on your physical needs this week and spend much more time on yourself. There will be plenty of opportunities to look after others when
you are feeling 100 per cent yourself. Stay in control of day-to-day plans. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Keep up the pace this week so that you have plenty to discuss and ‘write home about.’ With your mind so active, you are capable of doing in a day what would normally take a week. By-pass those who try to slow you down. There will be plenty of time to be a plod later. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Others may be changing their minds, and generally being a bit of a pain. That may irritate you but it is no reason to change your plans. Both you and your colleagues will be glad that you did in the longer term. You may need to find some peace and space for yourself come the weekend. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Looking back over the past few months you will realise that fine adjustments are needed. Both your working life and diet need attention, so be determined that progress made will continue apace. Certainly, you have no qualms about facing any problems straight on. You thrive on responsibility and there is no shortage of that at the moment. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Now that you are feeling much better, it will be tempting to put aside your healthy eating and exercise, but if you remember what a difference it makes it would be silly to stop now. Enlist the help of a friend or two in keeping the momentum going.

Ways to make an entrance
TOP 10
STEPHEN KING, the horror writer once said, “an opening line should invite the reader to begin the story. It should say: Listen. Come in here. You want to know about this.” An author’s biggest challenge writing a novel is how to begin. The opening lines are crucial to grabbing the attention of the reader, making it the most difficult stage of the writing process. The success of a novel also depends on what it contains throughout, but the opening lines need to make an entrance. 1. Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell (1949) ‘It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.’ This opening line of Orwell’s, commands the immediate attention of the reader, with the strange notion of a clock striking 13. The opening makes us feel uneasy and curious to continue the journey into the dystopian world of 1984, following in the footsteps of the main protagonist, Winston Smith. 2. Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier (1938) ‘Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.’ The opening line of this classic Gothic romance novel tells the reader that Manderley holds something of great importance to the dreamer. The reader may become inquisitive to know more about Manderley and to know what is Manderley exactly. Even the title conveys a sense of mystery in the name, ‘Rebecca.’ 3. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë (1847) ‘There was no possibility of taking a walk
REBECCA: A classic Gothic romance novel. that day.’ This novel is considered to be the first to express the modern idea of the self, a radical book for its time. The first line has negativity, suggesting that Jane is restricted in some way. The novel ranks as one of the greatest and most longstanding works of English fiction. 4. Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare (1601-1602) ‘If music be the food of love, play on. Give me excess of it, that surfeiting the appetite may sicken and so die.’ This line is the beginning of Duke Orsini’s speech, which is cynical about the inconsistency of love and immediately gives insight into his character as one who is extreme; bouncing from highs to lows throughout the play. 5. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (1890) ‘The studio was filled with the rich odour of
Boggled
roses and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.’ These lines are a perfect set up for what follows and offers a hint to the theme of opposites, foreshadowing doom with the inclusion of the word ‘thorn.’ 6. Moby Dick by Herman Melville (1851) ‘Call me Ishmael.’ This narrator greets the reader and there is the sense that he is opening up and about to tell you a fishy tale! Ishmael takes the reader on a whaling ship, the ‘Pequod,’ under the command of the obsessive Captain Ahab who is on a mission to catch the whale that took his leg. 7.

LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION
Fill the grid so that every row, every column and every 3X3 box contains the digits 1-9. There’s no maths involved. You solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic.
I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.’ This opening line begs the reader to explore further, trusting the narrator to deliver a few words of wisdom. 8. Matilda by Roald Dahl (1988) ‘It’s a funny thing about mothers and fathers. Even when their own child is the most disgusting little blister you could ever imagine, they still think that he or she is wonderful.’ It is obvious by this line that there is a feeling of resentment, confusion and wonder at other children, who can be cruel. 9. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (1843) ‘Marley was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker and the chief mourner.’ It is clear that Dickens needs the reader to know that Marley is dead and before knowing what happens, you’re inclined to think that the emphasis placed on Marley’s death is quite significant. 10. I Am Legend by Richard Matheson (1954) ‘On those cloudy days, Robert Neville was never sure when sunset came and sometimes they were in the streets before he could get back.’ Who are in the streets? The lines put the reader in the character’s shoes, not really being sure about what will happen next and this is the perfect hook. Truman Capote said, “A truly great novel grabs you by the jugular with its first sentence, those words - its music and never lets you go.”

TO mark World No Smoking Day, Spain has released figures that show around 60,000 people die every year in the country as a result of tobacco. Worldwide, tobacco kills more than seven million people, with around 890,000 of these being non-smokers exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke according to data from the World Health Organisation (WHO). Around 27 per cent of the Spanish population are still daily smokers spending an average of â‚Ź282.39 each year on tobacco. The average smoker has 1,264 cigarettes a year. Lung cancer and heart disease are not the only health concerns to worry about. Smoking can lead to a range of other diseases and problems such as osteoporosis, emphysema, loss of hearing, cataracts, teeth deterioration and psoriasis. But despite these health concerns many continue smoking

on new things. For example if you always have a cigarette with your morning cup of tea try and skip the tea or have something else instead so you don’t associate that action with smoking. Make it public. By telling everyone your intentions you are more likely to succeed as you will engage the support and encouragement of others not to give up quitting.
Wait 10 minutes. If you have not smoked for a few days when you feel the urge to light up, breathe and wait for 10 minutes. Have a glass of water and go for a short walk and usually the urge will go, but these short battles will go a long way to helping you achieve your long term goal. Save the money Put aside the money you would have spent on tobacco and watch it soon increase. Treat yourself with your extra cash and this economical motivation will soon have you quitting. Hypnotherapy For those needing extra help some hypnotherapists offer quit smoking sessions which many claim to help them stop for good.

Restless Leg Syndrome By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com Symptoms AN uncomfortable itchy, creepy crawly, pins and needles sensation in the legs (and sometimes other parts of the body), which usually occurs at night or during long periods of inactivity and seems to feel better when you move. Your legs won’t sleep Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) obviously, often results in poor sleep which makes you feel worse! And some-
times it is considered a sleep disorder rather than a physical issue. The icing on the cake is that RLS is often referred to as idiopathic, meaning without cause. So sufferers are often dismissed or given medication which treats the symptoms (sleeplessness) rather than finding the cause. But why? Some chronic conditions such as diabetes and Parkinson’s can often have RLS as a symptoms, however what do both of these conditions have in common? They cause neural issues. As anyone who has read my articles for a while will know - itchy,
burning, creepy crawly ... all these descriptions set off a little alarm that says we need to think about the nerves. Too tired There is another factor that can cause RLS tired muscles. Ever had a day when you did 10 time s a s much physical activity as usual? Maybe moving house or walking on holiday? And at the end of the day you lie in bed, shatte re d, but a c hing a nd muscles twitching trying desperately to relax? This is what happens with RLS - your leg muscles can be so tired from the general job of trying
to get you around when your feet aren’t functioning well, literally pulling your feet off the floor, that they twitch and wiggle trying to sleep. Inflamed, tired muscles also contract, making them ‘fatter’ inside your legs, removing the space for blood, nerves, lymph and all your body’s communication systems. Feet first 1. Get the feet to work. 2. Take the pressure off your leg muscles. 3. Check your back and hips for good measure (it’s where the nerves go). 4. Get a good night’s sleep.

IN LOVE: Meeting someone special can give you a buzz.
The drug of love MEETING someone special and falling in love can give the same buzz as being high on drugs. Findings have shown that those feelings of excitement, anticipation and butterflies in our stomach triggers certain brain cells and activates the ‘feel good’ hormone dopamine. This chemical is also released after taking recreational drugs such as cocaine. Researchers from Emory Univer-
sity in Atlanta, USA, who carried out the study on prairie voles, which, like humans, are one of the few monogamous mammals, say they believe the findings give insight into how we can influence social interactions. They believe this may one day be used to benefit patients suffering from autism as by controlling the release of dopamine, it may help improve interactions in socially awkward people.

Medical experts on the increase NATIONALLY, Spain has an average of 4.7 doctors and 5.5 nurses per thousand inhabitants. The number of doctors and registered nurses continues to grow in Spain and there are already 247,974 doctors and 291,848 nurses, an increase of 2.1 per cent and 2.7 per cent respectively compared to 2016. That’s according to figures from the National Institute of Statistics (INE), which began to collate figures on the number of doctors and nurses in 1952. The largest increases in the medical professions have been observed in physicians, dietician nutritionists, occupational therapists, dental technicians and physiotherapists. Figures show that the health world is largely dominated by female workers with speech therapists having the highest percentage of women, being 93.8 per cent of the total. Over 91 per cent of occupational therapists are women along with 87.8 per cent of nutritional dieticians. However
men dominate the fields of dentistry, specialist physicians and doctors.

Clinical trials to help Butterfly Children PEOPLE living with Epidermolysis bullosa, a rare genetic skin disease more commonly known as Butterfly Skin have seen a positive start to 2017 as a clinical trial on a possible treatment is starting this year in Spain. The aim of the trial is to evaluate how mesenchymal cells, derived from bone marrow, can improve the healing of wounds caused by Butterfly Skin. This important trial is being promoted by the Foundation for Biomedical Research La Paz University Hospital and will be carried out by the Department of Haematology and Dermatology at the hospital in Madrid. The trial, which is approved by the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Sanitary Products, has a budget of €308,000 of which 75 per
HEALTH & BEAUTY
cent is being financed by the Carlos III Institute of Health and the remaining 25 per cent by the patients association ‘DEBRA, The Butterfly Children Charity.’ In addition, the charitable association will also be funding a molecular geneticist for one year and with this extra resource Butterfly Children families will have better access to genetic diagnosis of their condition. This is extremely important for both the affected and their relatives because it clearly defines what type of Epidermolysis bullosa they suffer from therefore providing prognostic value. It is also necessary for future family planning and for the affected to take part in clinical trials such as this. For more details on how you can help visit www.pielde maripos.es.
What is hay fever? Allergic rhinitis or hay fever is a reaction in the mucous membrane when it is exposed to dust, pollen, sometimes cold temperatures or other substances that a person is allergic to. It mainly affects the eyes and nose. What are its symptoms? The reaction can cause nasal secretion and an itchy nose during the months in which plants are flowering or exposure to other allergen triggers. Other symptoms of hay fever include nasal congestion, headaches and in rare cases nausea similar to when a person is suffering from vertigo. How do you treat it? Can it be cured? There are various ways of treating allergic rhinitis. The most common are antihistamines, decongestants and corti-
coids which all help manage the symptoms. Another way to treat it is through the use of injections, known as immunotherapy. The vaccinations help the body tolerate the allergens which trigger allergic reactions and help manage symptoms, in some cases they have been known to cure hay fever. Is it hereditary? No, although some people are genetically predisposed, meaning they are more likely to develop hay fever. Can it be prevented? The best way to prevent hay fever is to avoid exposure to allergen triggers or to take antihistamines during the periods where symptoms are the worst. In general the best way to prevent it is to see a specialist who will be able to find the best course of treatment for you.

The Wright Plaice for quality fish and chips in La Cala de Mijas IF you are missing the taste of well-prepared fish and chips then you need to visit the Wright Plaice in La Cala de Mijas. Recently opened by Edward Wright, who has spent 20 years running nine restaurants in Costa Blanca, this bright and modern restaurant offers all of the dishes you would expect, plus a few more. There is a large interior dining area where you can watch the food being prepared by Alan Whittaker who first became enamoured with Britain’s traditional favourite at the age of 11 when he helped his mother in her fish and chip shop and when he was old enough to start work, he served his ‘apprenticeship’ in Harry Ramsden’s in Gateshead. From there, he moved on to work in a number of restaurants before returning to his first love but the whole menu has been thought out to ensure that much of it is suitable for those with allergies or have strong vegan beliefs. Everything that has to be fried is cooked in rape seed oil which is considered to be the safest for those with gluten, soy and celiac al-

lergies and also as they keep a second fryer separate and in another room, Vegans and Vegetarians can also benefit provided they tell Edward when ordering. They welcome take away orders as well as eat in and they offer a number of fish that you
don’t normally see in Spanish fish and chip shops, so apart from Cod, Plaice and Scampi, they also offer Haddock, Skate and Rock giving customers a first class choice. Not only does the fish taste good as it is
cooked to order but the portions need to be seen to be believed and there is a special children’s menu as well. If one of your party doesn’t fancy fish, then there is a good selection of traditional pies, burgers (including a vegetarian option), spit roasted chicken and sausages together with all of the side dishes that you would expect including the ubiquitous Wally, a London name for a large pickled gherkin. After a fantastic meal, there is also the option to order ice cream or the delicious home-made desert of the day. This is a light, comfortable establishment which serves properly cooked fish and chips to eat in or take away and with a huge car park literally outside, the Wright Plaice which is open from 5pm to 11pm Monday to Saturday (except Friday when it opens at 3pm) is the ideal place to visit.

A very pleasant port from 1960 GOOD FOOD, GOOD WINE AND GOOD FRIENDS WITH
GARRY WAITE THE WINE CORNER IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS WEEK. I received a letter from Phil who sent me this photo of a bottle of 1960 Offleys port. It was interesting as I had a bottle some years ago which I consumed and found it to be very pleasant. Well it should be, it was one of the finest vintages of the last 60 years or so, 66 was great and 63 generally undeclared but still very drinkable! It’s worth about €120 and below is some interesting information regarding the bottlers.
I
Quinta Boa Vista (literally Beautiful View Vineyard) hints at the dramatic views enjoyed by one of the most renowned vineyards in the entire Douro valley. Boa Vista is the jewel in the Offley Forrester crown, which is one of the oldest Port Houses (1737) and rose to prominence under Joseph Forrester. He was a legendary figure in the history of port credited with mapping the upper regions of the Douro, only to be drowned in one of its rapids, allegedly weighed down by the weight of gold he had collected from his tenants. Forrester ’s life was devoted to improving the quality of port and in recognition of his endeavours the King of Portugal made him Baron Forrester. Offley’s vintages from the 1960s are a rare treat for Port buyers, as little has appeared under the label since.
CHARITY EVENT: Raising money for Lymphedema.
An emotional event I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING THE AUCTIONEER AT A RECENT CHARITY EVENT for the Tour de Sands, held at Avanto Beach restaurant in La Cala. The charity was set up by Sandra Watson’s husband Jerry after the premature passing of his beautiful wife from cancer in March 2016. I met the couple more than 20 years ago on a Classic Eurosport classic car rally through France and Spain where I organised hotels and victualing. Their passion for classic cars and life in general was infectious. I am not going to go into everything as it is too sad for reading in a newspaper, but I would urge you to go to the website and read the uplifting story of Sandra and her family, it is truly inspirational. Full details of the story, blow by blow of the trip, the charity and the people involved can be found there, as can the giving page that at this moment has helped the charity reach more than £70,000 from the event (www.tourdesands.com). The Charity - to which Jerry’s efforts have concentrated - was set up to improve the misunderstanding about lymphedema, the side effects of her type

of cancer. The run started in Easton on the Hill in Lincolnshire and travelled to Elviria in Spain. The E2E was not done in Classic Cars, but on bicycles. Sandra’s bicycle was ridden by different people throughout the 2,600 kilometre trip. Supported by riders from all over, who joined the ride at different stages but only four people completed the whole trip. Jerry, of course, being one of them. One of the most poignant moments for me was when the four that received their trophies were given a section of Sandra’s drive chain to drape over said trophy. It was the most emotional event I have been to in a long time and I hope that I contributed in some way to the event and to the amounts raised by everyone concerned. Avanto Beach restaurant, Restaurant 1870, San Pedro, Virgin Balloons, TreeTops, La Chaparral and with special thanks to The George Hotel in Stamford, Lincolnshire (a popular haunt for many of the English contingent) for their Lobster and Champagne Lunch - and many more who gave products and services to the memory of a beautiful woman, inside and out, who was also a loving mother and wife.
Keep the noise down please WAS LUNCHING IN MY FAVOURITE CHINESE RESTAURANT the other day. It was relatively early so it wasn’t as busy as normal. This also meant that the acoustics were more pronounced. I have always known that the Chinese can be pretty loud when talking, discussing and generally giving instructions but on this occasion it was more noticeable. But it got me thinking, the Spanish are pretty good at it as well. How many times have you sat in a family restaurant to the cacophony that is a family at play! But then, so do the Italians. The Russians are not so noisy in a group, but individually when they talk it sounds like a machine gun! However, if you really want to judge noise how about a bunch of half cut Brits in a bar! KEEP THE NOISE DOWN PLEASE AS I WRITE THIS READY TO GO TO PRESS, yet another pointless loss of life unfolds before our eyes. Much blame for these terrorist attacks is blamed on understaffing of police and armed officers. But the fact that the response time was so rapid and the perpetrators were shot dead within eight minutes from the first 999 call, does show that the organisation of the first responders is solid. Once again stories of unbelievable acts of bravery emerge. People that do extraordianry things under pressure without thinking of themselves. I often wonder whether I would be able to carry out similar acts if faced with such horror.

The name, meaning ‘flavour’ in Spanish, (as I am sure all readers know) reflects the restaurant’s focus on the flavours of Spain, through the use of traditional ingredients and cooking methods, and a relaxed approach to dining. Situated in London’s Heddon Street it is spread across two floors, the ground floor will feature a dining counter surrounding an open kitchen and fresh seafood display. The kitchen will serve regional dishes from across Spain, including those from the Basque country and Catalonia. A separate bar area will offer Sherries, txakoli, vermouths, beers and wines. Txakoli or Chacolí is a slightly sparkling, very dry white wine with high acidity and low alcohol content produced in the Spanish provinces of the Basque Country, Cantabria and northern Burgos. We don’t see much of it here. Upstairs the focus will be on Galicia and Castile with a menu centred around two specialities from those regions - octopus and suckling pig. Galician octopus will be cooked in traditional copper pans with olive oil and paprika, while a Castilian roast suckling pig will be cooked in the asador (a traditional wood fired oven). So next time you are in London get some ‘home from home’ comforts.
Once again a community pulls together and will not allow itself to be beaten. But the world has to do something - and quickly. I have Muslim colleagues who have worked for me for many years. They do not understand this interpretation of their beloved Islam claiming it represents love not hate and certainly not murder. But religious leaders must accept more responsibilty, especially those that preach wahhabism, an extreme Islamic doctrine practiced by Daesh and taught in Mosques apparently funded by countries such as Saudi Arabia and Quatar. What the answer is I do not know - sadly at the moment it would seem that nobody else does either.
ON THOSE SAD NOTES I will bid you farewell until next week and should aspiring restaurateurs need some help or advice, please do not hesitate to contact me. A toast to Good Food, Good Wine and Good Friends.

Monthly gardening tasks – June MANY of us experienced mixed weather during May. Weather that gave some thrills as many flowering shrubs looked their best early, but also some disappointments especially when just one windy rainy night decimated record flowerings and fruit formation on avocados and grapes. But in general it was a steady changeover from late spring to early summer. So what do we now need to do to improve the chances of wonderfully colourful and productive summer gardens. Ten important actions for June 1. Deadheading and tidying pruning regime. 2. Watch out for fast growing weeds that escaped your earlier mulching, hoeing and sowing. 3. Turn up the frequency and volume settings on watering systems and check throughout the pipe/hose runs for leaks and blockages caused by insects grit or calcium deposits in jets. 4. As the heat and humidity rises watch out for signs of insect and fungal attacks and be ready with your eco armouries of garlic, thyme, sulphur, neem and propylis sprays. 5. Give all plants in pots and other containers a good feed. 6. If you have been growing early vegetables in raised beds of containers such as growing tables and large builders buckets replace eaten crops by immediately filling gaps with seeds or plantlets. 7. Be ready to shade the more tender salad crops including tomatoes during the middle of the day to reduce their watering needs, slow down their maturing and lengthening their harvesting periods. 8. Ensure you pull down blinds to provide welcome, even essential shade, to plants in containers on apartment terraces, balconies and win-
soil surfaces, sponging away into super dry surrounding soils, f. Invest in a five-kilo tub of Terra-Cottem water absorbing gel soil improver. Technically minded readers will find the website interesting, g. Immediately mulch well around new plants. Unfortunately more than 50 per cent of mulching that I see is suboptimal. 10. Irreversible fruit losses Fortunately the yields of early fruits such as strawberries and cherries have in many areas been great, and yields of stone fruits such as apricots, plums and olives, the first time for three or four years, look promising. However just one windy rainy night in early May destroyed, in many gardens and commercial plantations, next autumn’s grape and avocado crops. Unfortunately there is
nothing one can do to avoid or recover from such natural disasters. Fortunately there are other garden crops to help sustain good living from one’s garden.

dowsills. If you do plan some late window box plantings preferably do this on north and wet facing situations. 9. Late planting of flowering plants We are now in June and can expect steadily rising temperatures, reducing rain falls, the drying out of soils and lowering water tables so it makes sense to: a. Minimise new plantings until the autumn rains, b. Restrict new plantings to drought resistant plants, c. Buy plants that are not root bound, d. Buy plants that have been grown and are being sold in deep pots, e. Improve soils in areas in which plants are to be planted to minimise water losses from waterings or rains if they occur from excessive drainage, surface evaporation, running off across hard impermeable
SUMMER GARDENS: Plan some late window box plantings and provide shade for plants on terraces.

Who is to blame for dog bites? 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
SOME time ago I mentioned that cars do not kill people it is the drivers who kill! Of course there are many defence barriers which come into effect when someone is bitten. “He didn’t mean it,” “He is not dangerous,” “He has never done anything like that before,” “He is wonderful with our children,” but who is to blame?
DOGS: Need to be trained.
I blame owners I do not blame dogs, I blame owners for not keeping the dogs locked up. I blame owners for not caring about their community, and their neighbours. I blame owners who are breeding and have not neutered their pets. I blame the owners for not being able to control their pets. I blame parents I do not care how good a dog is, children and dogs should always be supervised. If a child gets bitten, I blame the parents for lack of supervision. Children must be taught dog’s ears are not for pulling, we do not poke the dog’s eyes, we do not stick a pencil or pen up the rectum, and we do not pinch dogs. Any large breeds like the Rottweiler, German Shepherd and Doberman are not suitable for homes with young children. Most parents forget that children have friends. When little Johnny’s friend Tommy comes to play, what assurance is there that the dog will like Tommy? I blame breeders The area of ‘catchment attention’ where people will listen is when they buy a pet from breeders. The pet shops and breeders are the main area of misinformation. It is a sad fact that all new owners will take advice from breeders when buying a puppy. Anyone can get the title of breeder. I am of the opinion that a lot of misinformation comes from
PETS PAGE www.euroweeklynews.com
Getting ready to go on your holidays?
breeders who know little if anything about canine behaviour. I meet pet owners every week who think it is good for their female to have a litter of puppies. No health tests have been carried out or indeed to check if their behavioural genes are suitable for breeding. Dogs with unhealthy eyes, ears, hips or elbows can have behavioural problems. I blame lack of training All breeders and other sources of supply and vets should make their clients aware that a dog needs to be trained. Most people believe that dogs should not be trained until they are six months old. This is nonsense. All dogs should be trained as soon as possible. All dogs should be attending a social class as soon as possible in order to get them used to other dogs, children and people. I am not advocating that pet dogs should be trained like police dogs. I am of the opinion all owners should be able to walk their dogs without pulling on the lead, and they should be able to make their dogs sit and go down. I blame the vets When the new puppy is taken to the vet for its vaccinations most owners will listen to the vet’s advice, it is at this time training should be discussed. Vets see dogs every day. Vets should recognise owners have no control over their dogs. Vets should be directing owners to training clubs or in my opinion they are irresponsible.

Top cat toys PLAYING is essential for kittens, to develop their hunting and fighting skills. It is also a well-known fact that cats love to play, and usually with the simplest of toys, including boxes, paper bags, plastic balls, twists of paper and cotton reels. However, it is worth having a look at some updated and more stylish alternatives that are available for the cat and of course, the owner to enjoy! The latest toys are colourful and look good but are also very practical, and the first is a ‘Toys R Us colourful Tri-Tunnel toy,’ which pops up, folds down and has a dangle toy inside for when your cat ‘wants to be alone.’ Next, there is the ‘Kong Crisscross Rolling Cat Toy,’ which rolls along the floor, with a bell that
TUNNEL: Easily stacked. rings and a rolling ball inside or you could go for a ‘Petlinks Wild Thing Motion Cat Toy,’ that does all the work with its electronic motion ball, that moves and spins around dangling a feather. Other toys include the ‘SmartyKat Crackle Chute Collapsible tunnel’ and the ‘Cat1st Ninja Cat Cube’ that can easily be stacked and connected to more cubes with Velcro. As cats get older, like humans, they need more of an incentive to get up and jump around for the sake of it, whereas kittens are young and have boundless amounts of energy. It is worth investing in new toys, so your cat doesn’t get bored.

CHARITIES ACE CHARITY “El Refugio” in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an
SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public week-ends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeon line.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clearout, please contact us on 605 227 155.

Triple Crown glory By Matthew Elliott SPANISH speeder Fernando Alonso astonished spectators with his strong performance in the Indy500. Alonso was so close to victory but his Andretti Autosport Honda retired just 20 laps from the finish. His strong performance strengthened opinion that the Oviedo man might be the best all-round Formula One driver in the game today. Alonso, gaining confidence from the race, considered among the top three motorsport competitions on the planet, declared his intention to win the prestigious Triple Crown. Only the legendary Graham Hill has ever completed the feat, which involves winning the Monaco Grand Prix, Le Mans 24 Race, and the Indy 500. Alonso, 35, won the Monaco Grand Prix in back-to-
ALONSO: Almost won Indy500 on debut as he targets Triple Crown. back races in 2006 and 2007. Last week he showed the Indy 500 is easily within his grasp, leaving only Le Mans. Only a few months ago
Alonso was cracking jokes about winning the Indy500 and not taken seriously. Mark Webber, a top endurance racer, said he reckons the Spaniard has
roughly a decade to win Le Mans and cement his legacy at the very pinnacle of the sport. At 35, with an already glorious career behind him, and millions in the bank, Alonso is also talking publicly about becoming a free agent. He leaves Honda this summer and has ruled out a partnership with Red Bull. With his name and popularity Alonso might be able to escape the long term contracts most drivers are subject to, even taking on individual race contracts. His foray into the Indy500 earned him a cool $300,000 for the Rookie of the Year award, perhaps slightly fortunate given his racing pedigree. But Alonso’s move has opened the door for other Formula One stars to follow suit, perhaps sparking a new race for Triple Crown glory.
Road rage A SHOCKING new survey found that almost two thirds of British motorists have been victims of road rage. An alarming 61 per cent claim to have been verbally or physically abused on the roads. When threatening gestures were included the number of people targeted by angry drivers rose to 80 per cent. Both men and women are subject to abuse in equal measure although women are often abused repeatedly in short periods of time. Almost one in three women reported being worried they will be road rage victims before they get in the car. The typical offender is a man in his late 30’s. Just 6 per cent of cases are reported to police, while cyclists today are in particular jeopardy.

Dovizioso wins the MotoGP in Italy as England begin the Champions Trophy From Back page
guided Enable to victory in the Oaks. This was the sixth Derby win for Aidan O’Brien, Ballydoyle’s master-trainer, and very few punters backed it! Home rider Andrea Dovizioso won last Sunday’s Italian MotoGP in Mugello. Maverick Vinales (Spain) and Danilo Petrucci (Italy) finished second and third. England’s cricketers started their Champions Trophy challenge with an eightwicket win over Bangladesh; Joe Root scored 133 not out and Alex
Hales 95. England’s second Group game was against New Zealand in Cardiff on Tuesday; their third is on Saturday versus Australia at Edgbaston. India also started with a win, over Pakistan. The British/Irish Lions failed to roar when beating the Provincial Union XV, including students, painters, maintenance engineers, a gym owner, builders, a nurse, office worker and shop-keeper, unconvincingly by 13-7 in their first match in New Zealand. Yesterday, the Warren Gatland’s tourists played the Blues in

In football, Darren Fletcher has left WBA for Stoke; Yaya Toure has signed a new contract with Manchester City; Chelsea have transferred ‘keeper Asmir Begovic to Bournemouth; AS Roma want England’s number one Joe Hart; Arsenal are chasing Atletico Madrid’s Alexandre Lacazette and Roberto Mancini is Zenit St Petersburg’s new manager. And last Friday, Olivier Giroud (Arsenal) became the first player to score a hat-trick for France since 2000 with a treble in a 5-0 win over Paraguay. In this same game, Spurs’ Hugo Lloris set a new French record for a goalkeeper with his 88th cap.
Monte Mar BC visit La Posada
RETURN VISIT: Group photo taken at La Posada Bowls Club. LA POSADA’S bowling tour to the Alicante region in 2016 included a match at Monte Mar Bowls Club, where they were warmly welcomed and enjoyed some great hospitality. In a chat over lunch, email addresses were exchanged with a view to organising a return visit by Monte Mar to La Posada and this took place between May 22 and 26. More than 30 bowlers from Monte Mar arrived on the Monday, staying for four nights at El Tempranillo Hotel. Tuesday morning saw four rinks matches played, with La Posada winning the session 3-1. Triples matches were played during a hot afternoon and, with many La Posada players playing twice on the day and the Monte Mar afternoon players being fresh from not having played in the morning. It was no surprise to see Monte Mar reverse the morning’s result, winning the afternoon session 3-1.
Their visit to Saydo BC on the Wednesday resulted in Monte Mar winning the morning triples matches 4-0 and the afternoon’s rinks matches by the same scoreline. Back at La Posada on the Thursday, rinks matches were organised for both the morning and afternoon sessions. With a score of 4-4 carried over from the Tuesday, there was everything to play for. Some close matches resulted in a win for Monte Mar in the morning by 3-1, so La Posada had it all to do later. With La Posada having to field players twice on the day against fresh players from Monte Mar for the afternoon session, the odds were stacked heavily against La Posada, however, they won the session 4-0, thus winning 9-7 overall on the 16 matches played during the two days. A farewell meal was held on Thursday evening. Good food and a great time was had.

Ron Garrood MIJAS GOLF is one of the most commercial golf resorts on the Costa del Sol, with two walkable courses Los Olivos and Los Lagos. Los Olivos opened in 1984 and was refurbished by Cabell Robinson during the season 2000 - 2001, following Trent Jones’ original design concept.
