Graffiti vandal caught ANSWERING an early morning alert from a Malaga resident, officers of the Local Police descended on the English Cemetery and discovered two vandals spraying a wall. Both of the graffiti artists dropped their spray cans and ran off with one jumping over a wall and escaping and the other a 19-year-old local being stopped and arrested with two spray cans in his possession. When they returned this young man to the scene of his crime, they spotted another male who they suspected of being a not very efficient lookout man who they also arrested. Officers discovered two pieces of graffiti on the walls of this protected monument to the dead, each measuring three x two metres and the cost of cleaning these is expected to be substantial. After reviewing local CCTV footage, the officers identified the individual who fled and have now handed the case over to the National Police.

The area is considered to be of environmental importance that may not be developed as it is within a forest and all permanent structures including walls, paving stones, concrete and other fixed work must be
demolished. According to a TV statement by Marbella Council spokesman Javier Porcuna, no authority has been given for the festival performance in 2017 and will not be issued until the required demolition takes place. The inference is that if the per-
manent works are taken down, then the Marbella Council is likely to extend the 2016 permit to allow the festival to go ahead as the number of visitors who attend the festival and the amount of work generated is importance for revenue and promotional purposes.

Port in a storm A JUDGE has launched a full scale investigation into five businessmen who are allegedly suspected of contract fraud in Puerto Marina, Benalmadena. The investigation began after an internal audit revealed that 66.2 per cent of the Marina’s contracts, worth €2.9m, were awarded to a series of companies inexplicably linked to the businessmen. The internal audit, which commenced two years ago, has still not been completed. The initial report, which sparked the judicial investigation, denoted that the majority of companies were created weeks before the project launched. Although belonging to the same administrator, the companies had competed with each other to falsify an appearance of commercial impartiality. The entrepreneur who appeared to have benefited the most presided over at least four companies, which invoiced more than €1.4m to the port. The investigation continues.

From jumping through bonfires to hurling dead rats at fellow revellers, Spanish culture is awash with quirky traditions, none more so than El Salto del Colacho, the annual baby jumping festival which takes place this Sunday.
HELD in the village of Castrillo de Murcia near Burgos in northern Spain, El Salto del Colacho most closely translates as the Devil’s leap. During the celebrations, babies born within the previous 12 months are laid on mattresses in the street before men dressed as the Devil in red and yellow costumes take turns to leap over them. Normally taking place on the Sunday after the Catholic feast of Corpus Christi, baby jumping is a traditional practice dating back to the early 1600s. The infants are placed in rows before the devils, who also sport grotesque face masks, make their way through the crowd, whipping bystanders before careering over the

helpless children. As they do so, the babies are said to be blessed and cleansed of original sin before being sprinkled with rose petals and recovered by relieved parents. Although it might seem dangerous, there are no reports of injuries or fatalities during the event, although it is frowned upon by the Catholic Church, with news reports in 2012 suggesting that Pope Benedict himself encouraged the Spanish clergy to distance themselves from it.

EL COLACHO is organised by the shadowy, black-clad Brotherhood of Santisimo Sacramento de Minerva, members of which dress up as both the devil and his companion the Atabalero, or drummer. The devils clutch percussion instruments known as castanets while the top hat and tailcoated Atabaleros beat drums in unison as they run through the town’s streets. Festivities begin on the Wednesday preceding the event with daily processions during which the devils also chase cheeky adults and children, ter-
rorising and hitting them gently with horse-tail whips. Each Devil is followed by two rows of the brotherhood and the group makes its way to the church, where an entrance ritual is performed. All members remove their hats and bow in greeting as the Devil and Atabalero arrive, the former removing his mask before heading to the sanctuary where both remain during mass.

But it was the gorgeous Antonella who stole the show as she relaxed on the side of the boat, dipping her toes into the crystal-clear Mediterranean water, before her future hubby took the plunge as he launched himself into the deep.

Surprise result raises questions THERE is little doubt that the Conservative party was caught by surprise by the seemingly disastrous result of the General Election. The powers behind the throne, the two advisors to Mrs May, Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill resigned almost immediately and now the Prime Minister appears to be trying to carry on as if nothing too untoward has happened. Her cabinet remains broadly as it was prior to the election, although another Brexiteer Michael Gove returns as environment secretary and will be responsible for reviewing agricultural support following Britain’s exit from the EU. The loss of an overall majority will make it more difficult to enter Brexit negotiations when the EU knows that the prime minister has made a major error of judgement by getting the mood of the nation so wrong. She said she would use the anticipated increased majority to strengthen her hand with Europe and instead has to keep power by putting together an unlikely and possibly unstable pact with the Democratic Unionist Party which has already caused negative comments from the Republic of Ireland. Assuming she is not voted out as Tory leader, it is possible Mrs May will have to be a little less hard line in her negotiations with Brussels than she had originally hoped.

Summer sting likely STUDENTS at the University of Malaga, in partnership with the Oceanographic Centre, are developing a predictive model capable of tracking jellyfish. They have been working on the system for months with hopes of having it ready for summer. The model looks at variables like wind, rain and temperature, to anticipate the arrival of jellyfish blooms along the coast. Jesus Bellido, a biologist from the Aula del Mar, said: “We are trying to see if there is any element that coincides with its appearance and explains its presence here.” There are few scientific studies that have attempted to explain this phenomenon so far. Bellido indicated the most plausible theory is that the oceanographic barrier of saline (salt water) that runs from Almeria to Oran, Algeria, determines the likelihood of their presence.

Gardener plummets to his death A UKRAINIAN gardener, aged 55, has fallen to his death in Alhaurin de la Torre after being electrocuted while pruning cypress trees. After emergency services received a phone call from the private property in Los
Manantiales, an ambulance made its way to the scene. Upon arrival, paramedics began to carry out CPR manoeuvres after they found that the gardener had entered cardio arrest. However, their revival
techniques were unsuccessful and he was later pronounced dead at the scene. The Civil Guard, at the request of the judicial commission, were asked to remove the body from the premises. Upon initial inspection offi-
cers deduced that he had died from falling from the scaffold. However, the autopsy results provided a new twist on the case. Forensics began a thorough examination at the Institute of Legal Medicine
(IML) in Malaga, and revealed that the cardiac arrest was the result of an electric discharge. Officers then confirmed that the victim had been working in close proximity to high voltage cables.

INSIDE: The disused RodeĂąa furniture building in Ronda. FIVE people are living in squalid conditions within the disused RodeĂąa furniture building, Ronda, with the local council oblivious. Last week Local Police confirmed the presence of four men and one woman inhabiting the abandoned building. After officers witnessed the conditions, a report was submitted to the relevant councils, but so far
no response has been given. One of the squatters, who indicated he became homeless due to family and financial problems, has said that the town hall was well aware of their presence and has made no attempt help them. He maintained that with no front doors on the building, prostitutes enter with their clients, leaving them with no security.
The squatters have been left without water, light, sanitation or ventilation. With frequent thefts taking place in the area the building has been left without upper handrails, leading to an increased risk of injury. Mayor Teresa Valdenebro and councillor Alberto Orozco have been contacted for comment, but are yet to respond.

Rental prices rocket MALAGA and Marbella are amongst the most expensive spots in the country, as Calle Larios and Puerto Banus continue to hike their rental prices. Commercial interest in Malaga and Marbella has boomed, with both cities securing a place in the country’s top 10 trade ranking. The survey, focusing on retail property, used the price per square metre to measure the ‘desirability’ of each area. After Barcelona and Madrid, Acotex’s trade report lists Marbella in sixth place with an average price of €2,280/m2 in Puerto Banus. Malaga City continued its rise from 60th place in 2015, to eighth place last year. This is mainly due to the success of Calle Larios, which saw a 28 per cent rise in rent. Despite this, Calle Larios still withers in comparison to Madrid’s Calle Preciados (€3,300/m2) and Paseo de Gracia (€2,880) in Barcelona.

PARENTS attacked two basketball referees following a children’s match in Benalmadena last Saturday. The officials were reportedly assaulted after presiding over a match between the Benalmadena local team and the City of Melilla, which the home side dominated with a 22 point lead at the final whistle. The incident took place half an hour after the game had ended when the referees attempted to leave a nearby car park.
Basketball bust-up The first, initialled JCA, was leaving to return home when he discovered several children, sporting the City of Melilla uniform, playing near his car. Upon seeing him, one of the 13year-olds started to throw punches. JCA then asked the children to step away from his vehicle, reprimanding the youth who
had attempted to beat him, when an irate father started to berate him. Upon gaining access to his vehicle parents surrounded him to prevent him from leaving the car park. When the referee jumped out of his car to settle the dispute, he was knocked down and allegedly kicked by several of the angry mob, ac-
cording to a police statement. Upon hearing the disturbance the coaches of the Benalmadena team arrived with JCA’s partner and attempted to mediate the situation. Minutes later, the Local and National Police arrived and took statements from the injured referees. The Andalucian Basketball Federation has temporarily removed the City of Melilla from the league while the aggressors have been identified.

Malta tax haven in the spotlight. The European ‘Panama’? THE EIC, or European Investigative Collaborations network, have recently launched a campaign - The Malta Files - to denounce how the Mediterranean state works as a pirate base for tax avoidance inside the EU. Over the last three months, EIC network has dug into hundreds of thousands of documents that show how Malta operates a tax system where companies pay the lowest tax on profits in the EU. Spanish newspaper El Mundo is now after such companies for they deem that when carrying out their activities, a very high proportion of them do cross the red line separating lawful tax optimisation with illegal tax evasion and concealment. Although moving to Malta for tax reasons is not illegal per se, some companies set up their main offices in the tiny island without having any infrastructure, staff, resources or economic substance to pursue their activities, thereby openly defying business logic and principles: such companies are typically only after hard tax avoidance.

Other companies do go as far as opening lavish offices with real staff, computers etc. with a different mission: to approach residents of Spain or with homes in Spain offering them attractive Spanish inheritance tax avoidance schemes, often through offshore structures involving single life insurance policies and/or trusts where funds are held. One example: one well-known financial planning company headquartered in Malta is operated by three staff, they hardly have any local clientele. Conversely, it has a staggering 25 employees and four offices in
Spain, where most their clients come from. This company offers what they deem Maltese tax sheltered trusts to residents of Spain. Besides the fact that the very name ‘tax shelter’ already signals trouble ahead, it is an accepted fact that trusts are not recognised in Spain. The Spanish Tax Office ‘AEAT,’ in several tax rulings (30/10/2008, 14/1/2010 and 14/5/2010), has simplified this discussion by disregarding the existence of trusts -in observance of Spanish laws - thus considering that the transactions carried out through trusts are made directly between the settlor/s and the beneficiary/ies - even in cases where the trustees had certain discretionary powers to allocate or distribute the assets held by the trusts to the beneficiaries. Furthermore, life insurance beneficiaries will be subject to Spanish IHT provided they are Spanish tax residents or where not, if the policy was taken out with a foreign company operating in Spain, which is typically the case.

ONE of the sometimes overlooked results of the mass migration of refugees searching for a better life in Europe is the proliferation of slavery. Those anxious to escape a world of fear and poverty are often vulnerable and can be manipulated by their apparent saviours into becoming chattels used to work in agriculture, construction and the sex industry. The United Nations and government authorities around the world do their best to try to combat these practices and this work is assisted by global companies such as the world’s largest international insurance intermediary the Alliance Group International Ltd. That company has set up Alliance Aid International a worldwide charity dedicated to the eradication of child slavery as over one million children are believed to be taken into slavery every year. Although, in many ways this is a problem of countries which are suffering from large, often undereducated populations with poor finances, it is not confined to one particular area, with slaves coming from Africa, the Middle East, parts of Asia and even Europe. One of the main markets for these slaves, particularly in the sex industry, is Europe although many wealthy countries are sadly havens for these poorly protected and prema-

One million child slaves every year Slavery has existed for thousands of years and as long as there are unscrupulous people ready to make money from the misery of others, it will continue but with today’s modern technology and the ability of large companies to set up charitable organisations such as Alliance International Aid it is possible to move things forward.
Both the Guardia Civil and National Police take the matter very seriously.
CHILD slavery and abuse. turely aged children. Whilst it is relatively easy to be opposed to slavery, it becomes far more difficult to do anything about it although here in Spain,
both the Guardia Civil and National Police take the matter very seriously and publicise the work that they do to release children in particular from enforced servitude.
Working closely together, like minded organisations use a three pronged approach to try to control the slave masters - Investigation, Interruption and Education. It sounds simple but with huge amounts of money involved and master criminals keeping to the background, it is necessary to find out as much as possible about those enslaving children and adults so that their crimes can be revealed. The next step is for the authorities to intervene and have the slaves released and equally importantly, looked after whilst employers must be educated to become aware of the possibility that those they employ are not willing servants.
Prevention can save your life THE breasts are the symbol of a woman’s femininity, a crucial part of her sexuality and a bond between mother and child during maternity. But breasts are also the female organs that generate the highest incidence of cancer among women. Hence our interest in making it widely known that early detection is the only way to achieve the highest number of cures using the least aggressive treatments. The mammogram is undoubtedly the most effective method of cancer screening (the method used for early detection of the disease). It can detect 35 to 45 per cent of tumours smaller than 1cm, when we cannot yet feel them. However, this test is less sensitive on women younger than 40 due to the higher density of the breast tissue at a younger age. Therefore, it is important that women under 40 assess their family-related risks. For example, whether they have any direct relatives with breast cancer in the
family or whether they have ever had a breast disease, to ascertain which checkups are needed. In these cases, a complementary ultrasound scan can diagnose small hidden abnormalities that the mammogram is unable to detect. And we must not forget the importance of breast self-examination. All women should be familiar with their own breasts and the changes that occur during the monthly cycle, so they can make an appointment with a gynaecologist if they detect anything unusual. Finally, a clinical breast examination should be part of an annual gynaecological checkup, together with the smear test. Non-aggressive and cost-effective methods are available today for the early diagnosis of breast diseases. Don’t forget that prevention starts with you. Dr. Ángela Escobar Casas Gynaecologist.

Catalonian economy plans DESPITE the fact that the Catalonian government plans to hold an Independence Referendum, the Spanish government has just approved loans of €5.3 billion until September. Whilst much is made of the value of the Cat-

Billionaire criticised for cancer donation WHEN billionaire Amancio Ortega, decided to offer funds for the treatment of cancer, he probably didn’t expect to receive so much criticism. A new book being published in the USA suggests that the majority shareholder of Inditex - the Spanish fashion retail group - had a small tumour that had to be removed and this is what spurred him on to make the offer. In Britain, hospitals are more than happy to accept donations

His donations have been used to buy mammogram and radiography machinery as well as for investigation into the causes of cancer. If this was a ‘simple’ illness, easily cured, the position of medical practitioners would be more easily understood say cancer charities, but any advance in treatment doesn’t just help Spain but sufferers all over the world.
Liberbank suffers on stock exchange SET up in 2011 a after the amalgamation of three savings banks, Liberbank which employs 4,850 has seen a drop in share value. The sudden sale of Banco Popular seems to have caused a backlash for this supposedly vulnerable bank, with its shares dropping well below the €1 mark. In a bid to show support for the bank, major shareholders have been purchasing the cheaper shares and are attempting to push the price back up as with assets of more than €38 billion and a 2016 profit of €128 million, they do not consider it to be a risky investment.

Worthless money!
Chinese emporiums investigated by tax office
MORE than £150 million (€177m) in old British five pound notes officially withdrawn from circulation have still not been handed in. Some of the old fivers now worthless when shopping are undoubtedly still held by British expats living in Spain, according to one banking source. “We are not exchanging the notes here as they are no longer officially legal tender” the Costa del Sol based money man said. However, he claimed that some of the old-style cotton-paper notes not handed in before the final deadline ahead of the more modern and new notes will still be in wallets and travel bags used only by expatriates when travelling back to the UK. “We all do it, putting notes aside when we return from a trip to the UK, and we only look at the money when we next travel. In some cases the trips can be a year apart meaning many expats probably have some - and perhaps in certain cases many worthless fivers in wallets and purses used when travelling.” The Bank of England in London is legally obliged to encash the old notes - taken out of circulation from midnight Friday May 5 - when handed over the counter in person. Expats not travelling to the UK can post the old five pound notes directly to the Bank of England. But when posted this action is done at ‘sender’s risk.’ If the amount of old fivers is viewed as large, identification may also be sought. Additionally banks, building societies as well as post offices

BANCO POPULAR SOLD FOR €1 IN what was something of a surprise announcement, Banco Santander Group Executive Chairman, Ana Botín announced that the Bank had paid €1 for Banco Popular. According to her, this now makes Santander the largest bank in Spain and one of the largest in the world although existing shareholders in Popular are likely to lose their entire investment. The acquisition was completed following an auction conducted by the Single Resolution Board and FROB in which Santander was selected as the successful bidder, paying a notional consideration of €1. As part of the transaction Santander will complete a rights issue for a total amount of €7 billion in order to cover provisions in Popular ’s balance sheet caused in the main by bad property debts. It is reported that quite substantial investments in the failing Banks had been made from South America recently and these investors together with an estimated 300,000 disap-

pointed shareholders will only be offered the opportunity to have preferential rights to purchase new Santander shares although there are rumours of legal action. The Governor of the Bank of Spain Luis Linde declined to make any statement about Banco Popular when he appeared before a Senate Budget Committee saying that he was unprepared for the question and Ana Botin reportedly denied that Santander had been put under any government pressure to take over Popular. Popular will be brought under the Santander umbrella in Spain and
Santander Totta in Portugal and the combined operation will promote vital SME lending - loans to small and medium sized companies - in Spain fuelled by the recovery of the economy and expects to hold 25 per cent of the entire market. Although there will be the need to write down part of the value of the Popular balance sheet, Santander expects to reduce the number of bad debts and properties quickly so that it forecasts a return on investment of 13 to 14 per cent by 2020 and an overall cost reduction of €500 million by the same year. The combined entity will be led by the current management team of Santander Spain with Rami Aboukhair as CEO. “We welcome Banco Popular customers as part of the Santander Group and will work hard to continue serving them at the highest standards through the transition and beyond” said Ana Botin when making the announcement of the takeover.
THE Spanish Tax Agency is targeting Chinese-owned companies in Spain which it suspects may be importing or selling goods without paying tax. More than 300 officials have been tasked with visiting 60 warehouses of wholesalers in 11 different provinces including Elche and Madrid in order to audit books and identify possible evasion. This is one of a number of regular investigations into Chinese entrepreneurs who have opened wholesale operations and shops in numerous towns and cities throughout Spain thanks to earlier financial incentives from the government. Similar actions have taken place in recent years and resulted in the discovery that up to €100 million of unpaid or evaded tax existed.

SPANISH COMPANY FIGHTS FOR ITS LIFE JUST one year away from the 160th anniversary of its founding, industrial company Duro Felguera must be wondering if it will last that long. Shares in the company which specialises in the implementation of turnkey projects for the energy and industrial sectors, as well as the manufacturing of goods lost 26 per cent in one day, following the sale of Banco Popular to Banco Santander and in four years its value has fallen by €800 million. The problem for the company is that it has very large borrowings which it is having difficulty in refinancing, so shareholders fear that now with a worth of less than €100 million that it could fail or could be vulnerable to an aggressive take-over. This company faces a typical dilemma as it appears to be quite adept at obtaining new business but it is burdened with so much accumulated debt that

The fact that shareholders in Banco Popular may receive next to nothing for their shares after acquisition of the bank by Santander for €1 is driving small investors to desert this and other vulnerable companies following what is being called ‘Black Wednesday’ in the Spanish financial press.
ALTHOUGH it will not affect retrospectively anyone who took advantage of the 2012 Spanish tax amnesty, the Constitutional Court has upheld complaints that it was unconstitutional. The matter was laid before the court by some 50 delegates of the PSOE political party who argued that it was an abuse of the constitution to allow some high earning tax payers to pay just 10 per cent of outstanding tax over €100,000. According to the complainants, those who were honest and paid their taxes in accordance with the law paid far more than those who had hidden their income and then simply declared it when the discounted offer was made. Current Minister of Finance Cristóbal Montoro was cited as being responsible for the introduction of this unconstitutional offer although the government argued that this was a way of collecting additional income which it might never have received. The court however considered that it would have been better to use the law to beat tax dodgers, rather than encourage them to benefit from their deception.
Losing mental capacity whilst living abroad by Stone King Charlotte Macdonald Contact me at international@stoneking.co.uk
MANY UK expatriates living in Spain own properties in the UK and have pensions and investments in the UK. They rely on their UK assets to maintain their lifestyles (and those of their families) in Spain. If they can no longer manage their affairs in the UK due to a loss of mental capacity, it can cause many difficulties.
You can choose a person or people, who you trust, to act for you when you are no longer able. The best way to avoid the legal and practical difficulties that can occur with the loss of mental capacity is to plan for it in advance by drawing up a document called a ‘Lasting Power of Attorney’ (‘LPA’).
An LPA must be made while you have full mental capacity.
What is an LPA? An LPA is a legal document that enables you to appoint one or more attor-
neys to act for you when you are no longer able to act for yourself. Your attorney can be a professional,
such as a solicitor or a family member or friend. There are two types of LPA: ‘Health and Welfare’ or ‘Property and Financial Affairs’ An LPA must be made while you have full mental capacity. It is therefore important to make one while you are in good health. Why should you get an LPA? You can choose a person or people, who you trust, to act for you when you are no longer able. If you lose your mental capacity and do not have an LPA, then your family (or the authorities) will have no choice but to make an application to the Court of Protection to appoint a ‘deputy’ to look after your affairs, which can be time consuming and costly. Will my LPA be recognised in Spain? Unfortunately there is no international type of LPA which is guaranteed to work in both the UK and Spain. The advice we give to our clients at Stone King, is that if you have assets in both Spain and the UK, your only safe option is to appoint attorneys in both jurisdictions.
If you would like to discuss LPAs contact Charlotte Macdonald or Dan Harris at Stone King LLP by email international@stoneking.co.uk or by telephone on +44 (0)1225 337599.

Beds and laying in them comes to mind! LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT I WOULD have loved to have been a politician. Of course, when I was a young man, those who aspired to these lofty positions were deemed untouchables; people who came from some planet of intellectual hierarchy that was far beyond the reach of mere mortals. Therefore very few of us who came from somewhat humbler backgrounds, ever dreamed that it may be possible to attain any sort of success in these areas. Well, after the recent performance of Ms May and her scurrying, utterly browbeaten ‘Yes Minister’ minions, I’m now convinced that even I could have stood a good chance of occupying the portals of Number Ten! In fact a large number of this column’s perusers would probably have a good chance as well. The utterly naive, egotistical mis-calculation of the public’s intelligence by the May
THERESA MAY: Even her post-election address outside Number Ten was atrocious. brigade simply beggars belief. Three weeks ago I voiced my concerns about her manifesto content and method of campaigning. Well, almost unbelievably, it actually managed to get worse. Even her post-election address outside Number Ten was atrocious. Almost in denial of the unmitigated disaster her arrogance (or ignorance) had led her party into, she spoke as
though there had actually been no election at all and nothing had changed. Well, as strange as it may seem, I personally think that in the circumstances it was a great result. May got her ego quite rightly kicked into touch. The fishy Kranke from Scotland realised that screaming freedom at every opportunity doesn’t exactly endear herself to all of our north of the
border friends. Salmond has now finally sunk beneath the rivers of obscurity and, despite his young supporters fanatical attempts to make sure they had no country for their own children to grow up in, Corbyn and his Union bully boys (hopefully!) won’t be photographed grinning from the steps of Number Ten. All in all a pretty good result and firm kick up the backside for all our
so-called leaders, who most certainly don’t originate from that distant planet I mentioned, nor do they live in the non-mortal bubble they all seem to think they do. And what a chance for this ol’ boy’s column to Phoenix itself up from the morass of baleful boredom we seem to have been sinking into of late. Particularly with the emergence of the DUP party. This party, founded by para military supporters, is led by a woman who has been declared sexist, wants a soft Brexit and denies climate change. It also dislikes women’s rights and is anti-abortion and gay marriage. And they are offering to be the new ‘stabilisers’ of British politics! Well, good luck with all that Ms May. Beds and laying in them comes to mind! Lots of fun and frolics coming up folks. Enjoy your week. Keep that mail coming. Thanks for all your votes, they don’t go unnoticed! And whatever ya do, always.

A holiday without your pet is not a real holiday MAYBE you are thinking about visiting your country this summer taking your cat or dog away with you. If this is the case you should check if the PET passport is due and if your insurance extends abroad (in some cases, cover for travel abroad could be an add-on to your existing policy that you need to apply for separately). When you travel in Europe, the requirements will not vary much from one country to another. In both the European Union and most other countries, the Pet Trave Scheme is unified. This document is valid for dogs, cats and ferrets and contains the animal’s whole health history and all its identifying data and also those that refer to the owner. The Passport must be processed through a veterinarian. It must be taken into account that, in a generalised way, travel is not allowed with animals under three months. If you are one of those who likes the option of travelling by car, whether near or far, here are some tips to make the road more than comfortable to your most loyal friend: 1. Keep your pets safe and secure in a wellventilated carrier. There are a variety of wire mesh, hard plastic and soft-sided carriers available. Whatever you choose, make sure it is large enough for your pet to stand, sit, lie down and turn around in. It would be good to get your pet used to the carrier in the comfort of your home
LOYAL FRIEND: Keep your pets safe and secure in a well-ventilated carrier. before your trip. And please be sure to always secure the crate so it won’t slide or shift in the event of a quick stop. 2. Your pet’s travel-feeding schedule should start with a light meal three to four hours prior to departure. Don’t feed your pet in a moving vehicle - even if it is a long drive. 3. Never leave your animal alone in a parked vehicle. On a hot day, even with the windows open, a parked automobile can become a
furnace in no time, and heatstroke can develop. In cold weather, a car can act as a refrigerator, holding in the cold and causing the animal to freeze to death. 4. What’s in your pet’s travelling kit? In addition to travel papers, food, bowl, leash, a waste scoop, plastic bags, grooming supplies, medication and a pet first-aid kit, pack a favourite toy or pillow to give your pet a sense of familiarity. 5. Make sure your pet has a microchip for
identification and wears a collar with a tag imprinted with your home address, as well as a temporary travel tag with your cell phone, destination phone number and any other relevant contact information. 6. Don’t allow your pet to ride with his head outside the window. He could be injured by flying objects. And please keep him in the back seat in his crate or with a harness attached to a seat buckle. 7. Opt for bottled water or tap water stored in plastic bottles. Drinking water from an area he’s not used to could result in tummy upset for your pet. In any case, you must consider that there are many different pet insurance policies on the market, but Liberty Seguros is the only company that offers the best possible cover across the European Union at an affordable price, leaving you with total peace of mind knowing that your pet is covered against accidents and illness as well as public liability, telephone assistance, a stay in kennels/cattery if the owner is in hospital, help with expenses for finding your pet when lost and much more! Liberty Seguros can be contacted by telephone on 913 422 549 for the name of your nearest broker or agent, or visit www.libertyex patriates.es for more information on all the insurances they offer.

What is it with choices? Mike Senker
In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man SO the election has been and gone and to be honest Mrs May got what she deserved. That’s all I’ve got to say about that because I only get a limited amount of words and I don’t want to waste any more of them on slime bag politicians. What is it with choices these days? My daughter has just bought her first house and needed to buy some white paint. ‘No big deal,’ I said to her, ‘go down to B & Q and buy a pot.’ Simple. Job done. Oh no not any more. There are so many it’s ridiculous. She sent me a list of 20 different whites. But these days it’s the same with everything. We are all spoilt for choice. Try buying anything. It gets on my nerves. You spend hours online just comparing prices. Then you find something and think you have cracked it. But no - it’s not quite the same thing - it’s either a little smaller or a little lighter in weight. Have you ever tried to buy a computer? What a minefield that is! You go into the store and ask the salesman to help. Then come the questions.
How much storage, how much memory, how much ram, dual core, quad core, bloody apple core and then you make your choice and off you go all happy with your lappy or desktop only to find a week later that the one you got sold has just been superseded by a newer model and yours is now defunct. It’s all so infuriating! Talking about computers this one peed me off this week. I was trying to log on to my Apple account. I try one incorrect password, try second incorrect password, try third incorrect password and I am now locked out. It says ‘please reset password.’ So in I go and answer all the security questions and reset my password and as I hit enter with my new password and up comes the writing ‘you cannot use a password that you have used before’! I didn’t think I had so I tried two other passwords that I use and they aren’t accepted either. One is too weak and the other I’d used before so now I have to think of a new one. Like I don’t have enough already I now have to use a capital letter and a number and now a special symbol. It’s exhausting and frustrating. And then the emails start telling me that I’ve changed my password. I know. You don’t have to tell me! Why does life have to be so complicated? Email me mikesenker@gmail.com

LEGALLY SPEAKING With or without a licence? 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.
MICROCARS: Still need a licence.
A REGULAR question that occurs is ‘can I drive a small microcar’ without a licence? According to the N332 Guardia Civil team, many people say you can drive them without a licence because you don’t need to have a Category B licence which is for cars. However, to say you don’t need any licence is not correct as you must have a Category AM licence which is the category required to be able to ride a moped. Because these ‘microcars’ have such a small engine, they are classed as mopeds and can even be driven by teenagers as long as they have the Category AM licence. However it must be noted that these vehicles must be driven on the hard shoulder where there is one, or as far to the right as possible, and they are not permitted on motorways.
The vehicle itself must be registered and insurance is still needed. It follows the same requirements as normal cars and it must have a logbook and ITV inspections must be carried out. To obtain a Category AM licence your local driving school will be able to give you all the information you need, including requirements for a medical report if necessary. So drivers should be reminded that yes they do need a licence for a vehicle and to drive any vehicle without a licence is breaking the law. Similarly, if you don’t have your licence with you when you are driving it can be assumed you are driving without one until proven otherwise and you may be arrested until you can prove you are qualified to drive.

FEAT
An exclusive interview Today Michel Euesden, Managing Director went along to Oakland Furniture to meet and interview Steve Day, Managing Director of Oak Land Furniture Spain. The Euro Weekly News were delighted to be able to get the interview as Steve is not well-known to hold them and doesn’t like the limelight, so it was certainly an exclusive scoop for the coast’s number one expat newspaper.
MICHEL: Well Steve, here we are at your San Pedro store and I must say it looks magnificent with such a large choice not only of solid oak furniture but also wonderful sofas too. Firstly I would like to say thank you for allowing us this interview as I understand you don’t like publicity and interviews. May I firstly ask as it’s intriguing why is that? STEVE: Ha ha, straight to the point as always Michel, wouldn’t expect any more from you, but that’s why I enjoy my team working alongside the EWN Media Group as it does exactly what it says it’s going to do. You have a fantastic group of newspapers here in Spain. MICHEL: Thanks for the compliment Steve but you haven’t answered my question and this is only my first one! STEVE: I guess I’m quite a shy person deep down but it’s more than that, the business is not about me, it’s all about the furniture and my great team of employees, without both of those the business wouldn’t achieve what it does. I often wish wardrobes could talk as they and other items are the real success of the business!
At the end of the day if you haven’t got a quality product then there’s no longevity to your business, rather like your newspaper hey Michel! If you printed rubbish people wouldn’t read your newspaper, but as we know you deliver a great read and that’s why you have been on the coast for so many years! It’s the same for my furniture, we deliver a full USP, 100 per cent solid oak throughout the product, building a product that will last the client a lifetime. It’s not about me, it’s about the furniture and so I like to sit in the background and allow the furniture to stand out and do the talking, customers can come in store and see the quality of the product and it stands out. On the shop floor our ethos is the furniture sings out and the store staff just answer questions and explain procedures, we don’t employ sales people in effect as the aim is to build the highest quality and designs that stands out. MICHEL: Steve, whilst we are not here to talk about my newspapers thank you again for the compliment, but yes we carry that same ethos within our business. Now can we stick to the questions without the swing back to me! So obviously all this lovely furniture
The cuts of wood we use to manufacture the furniture are of the highest quality. in store, who designs it all and where does it actually come from? STEVE: Well as you can see the cuts of wood that we use to manufacture the furniture are of the highest quality, the wood itself comes North America from substantial forests complying with all strict EU timber regulations. We use the highest grade which is North American white oak grade 1 on all the natural oak finished ranges. These are the cleanest cuts with the least knots if any and the most beautiful grains. With our rustic oak finishes we use grade 2 as we want the slight blemishes and knots to create the rustic look. Anyway the logs are sent to our factories in both China and Vietnam where 90 per cent of the world’s oak furniture is produced, the factories work to our designs and produce the furniture en masse to ensure the manufacturing process is economical to be able to offer our low retail prices. So for instance we do a production run of double wardrobes and then ship 40 foot sea containers to the warehouse in Swindon of double wardrobes, Swindon warehouse receives on a daily basis around 35-40 containers per day, every day six days a week. The designs of our furniture are all exclusive to us and design protected and are all actually designed in-house by ourselves which I feel we are very good at, but this also saves huge designer fees to which again we pass on the savings to our customers. Designer fees are very large in the industry we are in, so as we all have an eye for design we make some great savings. MICHEL: So Steve do you go to the Far East yourself to the factories and what’s it like there if so? STEVE: In the early days of the business, the answer is yes, I probably spent 50 per cent of the year there, you had to as we had to train factories how we expected our furniture quality to be produced. I lived in Dalian which is north China, where the majority of factories are, as

well as Qingdao, China. Whilst huge it is strange as different products are manufactured in different regions, although we did get down to Shanghai and Beijing many times. North China is beautiful and not how you would imagine, lovely coast line, great sea food and clean air! Over the last few years China has changed so much, I remember the first ever trip back in 2001 and as myself and my travel companion went down for breakfast we didn’t like the look of the food as it was quite extreme to say the least, so we decided to stick with what looked hard boiled eggs, the waiter brought them over in a basket with a pair of chopsticks, we knocked the top off the egg to discover the chop sticks were for eating the chick! Thankfully as the years have gone by and the country has become more modern, better food is now more available! I don’t go as much now as all the production is built up and as the business has grown Quality Control teams are now in place. Vietnam we also use too, they have caught up with the supply market and chain and do a fantastic job as well. In fact in furniture making terms they are now more competitive and trips there are enjoyable, but again less frequent as QC teams on the ground. Lovely places to visit but now I focus my main time here in Spain in the sunshine as we have a lot of work to do as we progress through Spain, Portugal and France.
MICHEL: Yes Steve I saw on your website that delivery options are available to Portugal and France too, was that planned? STEVE: In truth no, it wasn’t in the initial plans but when we launched in Spain some eight months ago now, lots of inquiries came in via the website requesting it and so we set up the delivery infrastructure to incorporate the ex- pats in those countries as well. No point turning away valued business! MICHEL: You haven’t hung around there then Steve, so what was the initial plan and why Spain? STEVE: At my age I don’t have time to hang around these days Michel! If I was as young as you maybe I would have more time! MICHEL: For someone who claims to be shy you are a bit of a charmer that’s for sure! Now back to the question why Spain? STEVE: Firstly I have always loved Spain and it was a good excuse to move here, but more importantly we could see the potential, we had customers on a weekly basis inquiring in the UK operation if we delivered to Spain. At the time we didn’t and customers were paying a small fortune to ship the furniture over themselves. So clearly there was a market opportunity and a service to provide. Customers obviously know our

product and brands so in realistic terms it made sense. MICHEL: Many people reading this could be thinking about starting a business here themselves, how did you find it to the UK and how different is it? STEVE: Patience is required for starters and a few deep breaths at times! But overall it’s rather much the same although trading patterns are very different to the UK, the main reason being that the expat market is very spread out along the coast in the main. So we get less people to the showroom and more through the website. As the ex- pat knows our brands and products from the UK and of course see the UK adverts on TV here in Spain, we had to build the infrastructure internally to cover all options to enable us to deliver further distances from our Malaga-
based warehouse. For instance delivery vans at home go out for a day’s work but here in Spain they can go out for a week’s work. It took a lot of planning and selecting the correct delivery teams was important too. Yes of course we have the product but we have to back the product up with the service. MICHEL: Yes I agree, the customer should always receive good service, I’ve taken a look at the reviews on your website and see that you have a 9.8 five star rating on the independent review website Trust Pilot, that’s very very impressive! STEVE: I’m sorry it’s not impressive enough, it should be 10.10 in my book, but we will achieve it. Yes it’s a great score because we work so hard to deliver the full customer service at all
OAK LAND FURNITURE
times, but I always believe there’s room to improve. Everything is about the customer within our company. As we cover so many thousands of miles on delivery routes so our customers can enjoy the benefits of our furniture, we have to strive hard and we do with a great delivery infrastructure, as well as fantastic communication channels from the team to the customer. MICHEL: So Steve simple question, what’s your biggest frustration? STEVE: Honestly, foot flow to the store, yes I know that the trading patterns are different here in Spain, but I still can’t get my head around it totally, yes I get it’s a modern world and people use the Internet and website, I get they know our quality product and brand but it still frustrates me, that’s probably because I’m used to large store foot flows. The Store Manager Nik probably holds the largest conversion rate ever because everyone who comes to the store purchases in the main as they have already done their homework via the web. I guess I’m just an old-fashioned retailer but I will always find it strange that a customer will order say from Mijas on the web when the store’s only 15 minutes away. I guess it doesn’t really make any difference to us, but we do like to show off our fantastic products and showroom. Just a personal frustration really, just an age thing I guess! MICHEL: Okay that’s your frustrations, but do you have a pet hate? STEVE: I try not to have them as it’s never the end of the world, but there
are a few. Advertising reps calling the store phone number has always been one for 30-odd years now. The phone line is for our customers to inquire about furniture not a free tool for advertising reps who can’t be bothered to call in store and show what they have to offer. It does really wind me up this especially as the phone line could be engaged whilst a customer is trying to get through. I can’t believe advertising reps can’t see it’s annoying and reduces their chances of obtaining business! I have to say we don’t get it too bad here as we have carefully selected our media partners like yourself Michel but it’s a pet hate of many years. Calls have dropped in recent years but at the same time spam emails have gone up which are just as bad. I believe if you have something decent to offer go out and demonstrate and sell it. MICHEL: So with the showroom open in San Pedro, the website clearly fully operational and the delivery structure all in place with deliveries basically going out on a weekly basis across Europe to what appears rapid rate, what’s next? STEVE: The first thing is always to both maintain and improve where possible standards and customer service. You have to establish a solid foundation to ensure when you do further expand you are ready for it and that it doesn’t affect current business and customers. We have though launched a website in full Spanish for the Spanish nation, we love Spanish people, their way of life and thank them for allowing us to bring our business to their country. At the same time I

hope they will enjoy and take advantage of our great product ranges and quality furniture. The website is www.oaklandmuebles.com. We have employed recently the lovely Lola Lopez to work both at the showroom and operate the Spanish website. It’s a very important project for me at present. We also have as many customers know a superb choice of sofas at the finest low prices so we have also added www.sofastorespain.com. MICHEL: Another store Steve? STEVE: Yes for sure, the next one will be in the Costa Blanca somewhere in 2018 I would imagine, but it may change route dependent on how the Spanish website performs. Things never go to plan so it’s a matter of how it all unfolds, maybe your readers could tell us if they want a store in Costa Blanca, if they do they can let me know by emailing info@oaklandfurnitures pain.com. MICHEL: Steve it’s been an absolute pleasure to meet you today and thank you so much for the interview. I know you don’t like doing them so it’s an honour for us at the Euro Weekly News to have one. Thanks again and I’ll leave you to get on with your work as I see the email inbox on your computer is filling up. Thanks again Steve. STEVE: Never an issue for you Michel and thank you for the amazing services you provide to Oak Land Furniture Spain. Shall we go for a pint now? All this talking has made me thirsty in this heat!

THURSDAY THOUGHTS
Exterminate! robots - How soon will Isn’t it a bit scary? they replace British jobs post-Brexit? By Graham Braben
Nora Johnson
ROBOT: Will it make a cup of tea?
Breaking Views Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson
NEWS that the next likely governor of California is preparing for battle against Silicon Valley’s job-killing robots shouldn’t come as any surprise. After all, 60,000 workers in a Chinese factory owned by the manufacturer of the iPhone have already been replaced. But what about British jobs potentially lost to robots postBrexit, that’s the million-dollar question. After all, we already have the first ‘affordable’ household robot. With its big blue eyes and saccharine voice, this toddler-sized machine called Zenbo is billed as a friend for children, a personal assistant to parents and a carer for the el-
derly. All for less than the cost of a new iPhone. There’s no getting away from the fact that the age of the robot is already here. It’s just a question of how many there’ll be and how quickly they’ll replace humans. (But hang on! Don’t they already run the civil service, the public sector - and the EU?) When I discussed this Zenbo robot with a friend, she asked would it make a cup of tea, wash up, make the beds, get her kids off to school, iron,
hoover without knocking chunks off the furniture and trim her daughter’s pony’s hooves? No? Then, next to useless! And as for buying one to care for an elderly relative, she couldn’t see that catching on unless Social Services are salami-sliced to death. Even more slashed to the bone. But just to add some facts. We already have robots in numerous essential areas like medicine. They assist surgeons and do a better job of surgery than anyone could do on his
own, so horses’ hooves would be a doddle. Not sure about psychiatry and how robots could help there, though. Which reminds me of an old joke. A man goes to a psychiatrist to complain that the song ‘Delilah’ keeps going through his head and he can’t sleep or work. The psychiatrist tells him he has the ‘Tom Jones Syndrome.’ The patient then asks: ‘Is it common?’ To which the psychiatrist replies: ‘It’s not unusual.’ Very soon, robots won’t be that unusual either... Nora Johnson’s psychological/suspense crime thrillers ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.nora-johnson.net) available from Amazon in paperback/eBook (€0.99;£0.99) and iBookstore. All profits to Costa del Sol Cudeca cancer charity.
IN my defence, I really didn’t know. You see someone asked me who I thought was the wickedest soap opera character ever. Unfortunately, I don’t watch soaps, so, like an idiot - which in this context I am - I said the first name that came into my head. Ena Sharples. As stunned silences go, it was up there with the best of them. I can understand it and I can understand the resulting ridicule. I’ve since checked, Ena Sharples left Coronation Street in the spring of 1980! Oops. Maybe my ignorance shouldn’t be such a big deal, but today, with wall-to-wall soap operas and reality shows throughout the day and night, it inevitably is. Just look at how the lives of a Kardashian or two fascinate audiences. Unfortunately, I still haven’t passed my GCSE in Kardashianology so don’t have a clue what they do to be so famous; does one of them play in goal for St Mirren? No of course not, everyone knows their goalkeeper is Billy O’Brien. There are people worse than I am though. I knew someone who thought Taylor Swift was an express delivery company. Silly, everyone knows he’s a singer. Today celebrities are all over the place, in jungles, on dance floors or, a new one, potentially washing dinner guests’ dishes. We can’t escape them - just look at the daily diet of models, actors and sports stars that fill our newspapers. That brings me to the point - well maybe not a point, just an excuse for this nonsense - so many people are obsessed with celebrities, they mimic what they say and look up to them as role models. Isn’t it a bit scary? Hasta la vista baby!

(Why we should) wake up and smile Marbella Moments by Nicole King SCIENTISTS point out that the probability of each one of us even being born is about one in 400 trillion.
How can we solve the world problems, when we are the problem? According to Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, an Indian spiritual leader, Yogi, Mystic, Visionary and Humanitarian one million people won’t wake up tomorrow. If a million people die a day, each leaves five to 10 people behind to grieve, so surely just the simple fact that we wake up each day, to not only be alive and awake ourselves but also to discover that our loved ones also made it through the night, should be more
than enough joy to carry a smile with us all day and find our joy. Sadhguru also reminds us that if we did not wake up another day nothing really changes on the big scale. He implores those of us who feel we are too important to be missed to go and take a holiday immediately and get a grip of our senses. He suggests in fact that if we could take control of our feelings and thoughts, understand and harness the mechanisms of
our body and brain and how they work, there would be no reason for discontent. The problem is we don’t come with an instruction leaflet; finding out by trial and error is our only recourse. We don’t seem to be doing too well. Today we’re taught about world but not about ourselves, we control with guilt, fear, re-
ligion; continually separating the world instead of seeking unity. Sadhguru points out that a good Hindu will fight with a good Muslim, good Indians with a good Pakistani and a good American he jokes will fight with just about anybody… the more good we think we are doing the m o r e c o n fronta-

tional it gets. We all find our own logic to justify our actions, we are all good and bad, truth is only in our perception. For most people the only problem is things are not happening the way we want them to happen so we create our own suffering, frequently reliving the past, dreading the future, relying on chemicals and distractions to find peace within. He asks: how can we solve the world problems when we are the problem? For world peace to even be an option we first we need to handle our own thoughts and emotions, balance body and brain, we need to find our inner peace, our joy. He thinks even just 1 per cent of the world population turning to meditation and the search for higher self could do the trick. It’s certainly worth a try, what we’re doing now isn’t working. We can all help. If you are reading this column that means you are one of the lucky ones who did get to wake up today, so please remember to smile, world peace depends on it! www.rtvmarbellanow.com

Prepare for next winter with Neater Heater SUMMER may seem an odd time to think about next winter, but it makes good sense. Especially to those expats who would like to use their Spanish holiday homes all year round, rather than just for the summer. We also urge new owners, who have just moved to Spain this year, to consider their winter heating. All fuel costs are rising steadily, whether you choose gas, oil, or electricity; it pays to make sure that whichever system you decide upon is efficient and economical. Remember: Efficient means it does the job, and economical means it’s cheap to run. Many systems are one OR the other, but Neater Heaters are both. Neater Heaters are made in Norway, where they benefit from Scandinavian styling, and modern, state-of-the-art, design and materials. Whether wall-mounted or free-standing, you have the confidence that these heaters will be providing a more cost-effective efficient heat output than any of their rivals. Our ADAX standard panel heater offers the customer a cheaper option to the stylish BEHA heater, without compromising on the running efficiency and reliability that we have come to associate with Norwegian systems.” Neater Heater can also offer the stylish Neo range for people with a more colourful
Beha or Neo heater or a more utilitarian, but cheaper, Adax standard panel heater.” Recently we have added to our range the Turkish made Vigo heater and towel radiators. These heaters share the design technology and ethos of the current Neater Heaters, but it has two differences: The Vigo comes with a carrying handle, wall bracket, and feet included in the price; They also have a digital display that indicates the reduced wattage that the heater regulates once the room has reached the desired temperature, thus saving more money through reduced running costs. Buying now, in the summer, allows you the comfort of having plenty of time to investigate our heaters against all others. We know the ones you will probably choose, as we made the same choice ourselves many years ago. In fact; we were so impressed we started a company.
NEATER HEATERS: Can be wall-mounted or free-standing.
outlook on life. At the moment the customer can choose to have their Neo heaters in one of four colours: White; black; silver and red. “By offering the Adax range as well as the Beha range, we believe that we have all bases covered when it comes to electric convector heating,” explains Tony. “Customers can now browse our website, or visit one of our distributors, and select a heater that totally suits their circumstances, whether it is a stylish

TO support World Ocean Day, the Nautilus Project and the Department of Education organised a competition for the design of a poster about pollution. They were delighted with the high quality of the 670 entries from various schools where the children were alert to the dangers of plastic pollution.

WITH effect from today, commercial vehicle access to Main Street will be shortened in order to ensure better shop front exposure for businesses. Vehicles can enter between 8am and 9.15am as well as 6pm and 8pm Monday to Friday. This should also give improved access for pedestrians with prams, pushchairs and wheelchairs at all times.
A NEW Gibraltar Health Authority website www.gha.gi has been launched which provides information on all aspects of the healthcare services available to visitors and patients in Gibraltar. The redesigned website also contains general contact information, guides, forms, information leaflets and other up to date health related news.

THE Chief Minister spoke to Committee 24 at the United Nations in New York after having to hurriedly rewrite his speech following a statement concerning sovereignty. This particular committee reviews the situation of colonisation around the world and has in the past tended to show some sympathy with the Spanish position. What infuriated the delegation from Gibraltar was the fact that the Chairman of the committee had stated that representatives would not travel to the Rock due to the sovereignty issue. Mr Picardo stoutly rejected the concept of a sovereignty matter as the people of Gibraltar had made it clear on numerous occasions, including a referendum in 1967 and a vote on the constitution that the people of Gibraltar wanted to remain British. He stated that Gibraltar should have ceased to be considered a colony 50

Gibraltar is part of the European Union through the UK and despite its
wish to remain within the EU, recognises that it will have to be part of Brexit but equally understands that Spain looks to make political capital from this. The Chief Minister made it clear that the people of Gibraltar reject any
suggestion of dual sovereignty, although as a major employer of Spanish citizens in the area, it would welcome a return to tri-partite discussions. Britain and Gibraltar are happy to discuss the situation with Spain but sadly Spain remains intransigent.
THE Gibraltar Tourist Board has sent representatives to London to promote the Rock at the fifth Annual Meetings Show at Olympia. The show attracts up to 3,000 meetings industry professionals and it is hoped that some will be persuaded to choose Gibraltar as a new destination for one or more of their events.
WHILST working with Spanish law enforcement officers, patrol boats from both the Royal Gibraltar Police and Gibraltar Defence Police were fired at by suspected smugglers. As has been reported previously, the use of firearms has become more common in the Campo de Gibraltar, but as officers were chasing suspected smugglers in a high speed rigid hulled inflatable boat (RHIB) in Gibraltar waters, two gunshots were heard and the officers hastily withdrew without any injury. Any doubts about the possibility of reinforcing such patrols with armed officers have now been put to rest and such armed protection will also be extended to include

understandably condemned those who had put the safety of Gibral-

derscore for the whole community the risk to which officers put themselves in doing their jobs protecting the rest of us and keeping i l l i ci t cargoes out of our waters and drugs off our streets,” he said. Adding “Once again, this was a joint operation with Spanish law enf or cem ent agenci es, al so demonstrating how well Gibraltar cooperates with the Spanish law enforcement agencies at a real and operational level. “Above all, we must ensure the safety and security of those who keep us safe and secure by ensuring they have the resources necessary to do their jobs safely, something we are totally committed to.”

‘
Nothing is impossible the word itself says I’m possible.’ By Audrey Hepburn, Actress
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) This is a time to consider finances and keep your options open. Someone who tries to get a fast decision out of you by pushing you into a corner is doing you no favours. You will decide what (if anything) needs to be done when you are good and ready.
‘
The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.’ By Samuel Johnson, Author
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Keep things simple. Getting involved in other people's problems is not for you at the moment. It may be necessary to delay a decision to give yourself time to think. Could you manage a few days away somewhere? Maybe you could stay with a friend or relative. You need some peace and quiet on your own.

Every serious explorer has a place in mind and the journey towards making it become reality, can be an experience in itself. Here’s a list of places that are waiting to be explored.

It has to be one of the most diverse places in the world; in the way it offers everything that’s imaginable and more. The most striking image though, is the sight of the ancient star ferry that transports passengers from Wanchai to Kowloon against the surreal backdrop of Hong Kong Island’s modern skyline. It’s a place that everyone should visit, as it embraces all the senses, leaving a lasting effect.

Although things are going pretty well, there are some things that could be just a little better organised. The time and money that this saves could be small, but it's the ongoing positive attitude that counts. There have been times recently when you have wondered if your progress on a certain matter would ever start up again. TAURUS (April 21 - May21) It is better if you don't get involved in any high profile, high risk business deals. Success is not assured. This is a time for financial consolidation. Count your pennies and see the pounds collecting in the future. On a cold winter’s night it can give a pleasant glow to realise your action during the summer is keeping you warm. GEMINI (May 22 - Juny 21) Partnerships see you leap ahead on something that was a bit stuck in the mud. A leap in your bank balance follows. Some quick decisions may be called for so it is better to share responsibilities, whatever the outcome. You have a chance to show just how clever you can be, but do it because it gives you personal satisfaction rather than to impress. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) After a hectic start to the week, things seem to have slowed down. Look carefully at what has happened, but remember that there is no point in worrying over something that you cannot change. Sitting tight and waiting for this period to pass could be the best solution. Certainly, it will prove less stressful than fighting a losing corner.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Money is good and this can make you over-confident. Beware bank managers offering loans in large amounts. Nothing is for free and you need to look carefully at interest rates right now. Another, more personal, investment also needs looking at right now. Are things going exactly the way you want them to? VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Aim a bit higher than usual and you may be surprised at your success. When seeing the bigger picture, you realise that it is not so daunting after all. If one person can do it, then so can another. It is a matter of how you approach it. What you have to ask yourself this week is why you should accept the minimum when the maximum is so close by. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This should be a great time for your finances. Any glitch is likely to be because you have overspent. Even if things still need close attention, you can win if you concentrate. A bit of plotting and planning can work wonders at the moment. Most of your big expenses are behind you and if you can just tighten that belt a wee bit more. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Although things seem fine, this is not a time to overstretch your finances. Spending a lot this week without thought is problematic later. This is a week of shifting and changing and that certainly means your finances. The other area is your social circle, where people come and go, sometimes without warning. SAGITARIUS (November 23 - December 21) This is not a particularly lucky week for you, so I would certainly advise caution. Gambling is not recommended. Being clever with money is as much about not spending it as about how you spend it. . CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Look at the long-term picture when considering money matters. What seems like a good deal now may not be so a few years down the line. Someone who appears to be telling a lie may simply have either misunderstood or have the wrong information.

Cover up! It’s time for a new law SIR, When is Spain going to clean up its act and ban tourists... and sadly in a few cases local residents... walking around the streets half naked. While it is easy to blame the Brits having now lived near Mojacar for the last five years I can assure you some German and also a few Scandinavian visitors – though to a lesser degree – are also among those who choose to walk around the streets and go window shopping without shirts on, or in the case of women, in just bikini bottoms. In the South of France local laws are in place making such behaviour illegal, and anyone walking around without a shirt or in beach attire can be fined on the spot. Keep beach wear and partial nudity where it belongs, which is the beach. Spain will be a better and more attractive summer destination if and when it makes such attire illegal away from around pools and on the beach. Nora Caulcott Torre

Adios English!
Security smile I AM delighted – yet a little surprised – to note (EWN Issue 1665) that Marbella is now considering installing CTV cameras in various places including Puerto Banus and La Canada shopping mall. Having lived on the Costa del Sol for almost 10 years, when the idea of such security checks in Puerto Banus was muted several years ago, local businesses fought the suggestion as it was feared cameras would frighten some clients away. One can glean for ones-self the base of such concerns given the criminal leanings of a few of the big spending people who frequent the ritzy port throughout the year, and especially in summer. Marbella is well aware of this, as are many people living and vis-

Have the dissenters gone quiet? (Leapy Lee) Media commentators can skew our perceptions away from reality if we’re not careful. The dreadful terror attacks in the UK have been truly awful for those caught up in them and my heart goes out to the victims, their families and friends. But everywhere else in the UK and the whole wide world billions of the rest of us have been leading normal lives at work, or we’ve been out and about enjoying ourselves, or having a quiet night in without experiencing any terrorism at all - except maybe for those who were glued to the blanket media coverage. While it is undoubtedly important to take action against terrorism, it is vital that we keep a sense of proportion. Countless billions of us live our entire lives into a ripe old age
without ever becoming involved in a terrorist incident. The vast majority of people on the planet never see terrorism at first hand. Without the 24-hour news media they might not be aware of it at all. It’s a fact there are many more deaths every year from accidents at home than from terrorism, but we don’t waste time being afraid of our own homes! Brian Eagleson

Scottish voters save the Conservatives Great Scot! That clever Ruth Davidson has saved Theresa May’s bacon by delivering 13 Scottish Tory MPs! A lucky number for her and 12 more than before, undoubtedly keeping the keys to No 10 in Theresa’s handbag - for the moment. Her huge losses to Labour in England would have made her position completely untenable without those additional Scottish MPs. Who would have thought Scotland would save a Tory government? Life is full of surprises these days. With the SNP still the third largest party in Westminster, the DUP in a government coalition, and all those Scottish Tory MPs in government, Scotland and Northern Ireland now have more power over the Brexit negotiations than ever before. How ironic, considering the PM previously ignored both countries completely! It’s worth remembering both those countries voted to stay IN the EU. A second EU referendum is now much more likely. Some MPs are even saying Stormont has just imposed Direct Rule on Westminster! It’s usually the other way round. Talk about a Coalition of Chaos! The Irish border will dominate the talks at last. Seriously, how can a UK which has left the EU continue to have an open border with it in Ireland? I’ve said before I wouldn’t want to be in Theresa May’s shoes. That’s even more true now. Boy, those high heels must be killers! And she’s bound to lose the keys to No 10 sooner rather than later. Brian
WHY is it that so many British living in Spain do not even try to learn at least a little Spanish. I have now been here for three years, and can still only master a few simple sentences, despite numerous lessons and ongoing attempts to improve. But one thing is clear. My efforts, however poor, are invariably welcomed by local Spanish people, who either do their best to understand me, or try to speak to me in my own mother-tongue English. I look forward to the day when – just perhaps – I am fluent, for despite the fact I am now retired and many say I am too old to learn a new language, just imagine the pleasure I will get from mastering all the idiosyncrasies that seem to exist. Having said that, perhaps in reality it is the strange English language that is befuddling my linguistic brain! Name and address supplied Costa Blanca
Be warned I’VE been coming to Benidorm now for the last 14 years twice a year with my wife. It is brilliant we love the place and have never had any problems. On Wednesday June 7, I took my wife shopping and she bought a €160 leather coat before we decided to go to the church in the Old Town. An opportunistic thief stole the coat which was beside my wife in the church, leaving her devastated. Geoff, Wirral, Merseyside
Election mess WELL, after all the huffing and puffing, the election was finally decided and it resulted in a hung Parliament. That I would suggest is the last thing that anybody wanted, however it demonstrated the arrogance of Theresa May and the total misreading of the British electorate. She gambled, she lost, big style. Her ‘strong and stable’ government is anything but. What a shambles!! Philip, San Fulgencio

Be afraid no more with conscious sedation ARE you afraid of a visit to the dentist? Well worry no more. Grupo Dental Clinics are proud to offer conscious sedation across its clinics on the Costa del Sol. This innovative technique consists of administering a relaxant so the patient is calm and relaxed, but is in an optimum state of consciousness. This means that patients are able to cooperate fully with their dentist. Francisco Maldonado Chinchurreta, the clinical coordinator of Grupo Dental Clinics, is a pioneer in the use of this system. He said: “It’s a form of sedation which provides a sense of well-being, but we also have to administer the local anaesthetic which we normally use in dental treatment. Some patients are reluctant to go to the dentist because they are afraid of pain, or because they feel anxious about anybody touching their mouth with surgical equipment. This type of sedation is perfect in cases like those, for two reasons: firstly, the patient will enter into a state of complete relaxation, and their initial anxiety will disappear and secondly, it means that patients can respond to our instructions perfectly well throughout the dental procedure.” Conscious sedation is primarily used for nervous people however it can also be used on pa-

Each one has an expert team of professionals who undergo continuous training to remain at the top of the field and are ready to treat you with each offering a free first consultation.

Good or bad boredom? BOREDOM. What is boredom? Simply being fed up, having nothing to do at the weekend? Lacking enthusiasm in your work, being uninterested in things? Boredom has many different levels and experiences and it can affect different people in different ways. It can be healthy, but can also be harmful. Now, experts have suggested their could be up to five different types of boredom and the ‘wrong’ sort of boredom can be self-destructive and could lead to an earlier death. A type of boredom known as ‘reactant’ is deemed the most harmful by experts. They say this involves strong negative feelings making people restless, angry and stressed. This can also lead to long term boredom with people more likely to skip school or quit their jobs, as well as

smoke, take drugs and binge drink; all factors that can reduce the life expectancy as it was found that the boredom leads to bad habits. However, ‘indifferent’ boredom could be benefi-
cial. This is the state where people are not actively doing anything, but they are calm and quiet and so allow their mind to wander off. This has proven to boost creativity and it is often recommended to allow chil-
dren to be ‘bored’ so they can spend time with themselves, be more creative and stimulate their minds to play and be active without outside factors such as electronics and video games being given to entertain them.

Try yoga to beat cancer effects YOGA could help those with breast cancer particularly as it helps patients to be more relaxed and better able to cope with side-effects. Two studies were presented at the US cancer conference held in Chicago as researchers claimed the activity of yoga had numerous benefits. As well as lowering the cortisol stress hormone, they reported that those who practised yoga found they slept better and were not so exhausted, which is often a problem with cancer patients going through treatment and reduced pain levels. The first study was carried out in New York with 321 patients, the majority of whom had breast cancer. The second study was in Mumbai, India and looked at whether yoga can improve survival rates of breast cancer patients.
SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. What happens if a jellyfish stings me? The com m on sym ptoms of jellyfish stings, assuming the patient is not allergic or suffering from some type of illness which could worsen the effects, are: Pain, burni ng, i nf l am m at i on and reddening and bleeding. How do I treat a jellyfish sting? When a jellyfish stings us, the pain and itchiness is immediate. The first thing that it is necessary to do is clean the area affected by the sting. We should never use freshwater, because it could break the stinging cells, causing another sting. To cl ean t he ar ea, a saline solution is perfect. In case you don’t have one, salt water could also be a sol ut i on. For approximately 15 minutes, you should apply cold to the affected zone. If you use ice, don’t apply the ice directly to the sting, but rather cover i t wi t h a cl ot h or a towel. If any of the tentacle is still stuck to the skin,
remove it, but never with t he hands. Use som e kind of pincers. You shoul d al so use some kind of antihistamine, for the reaction, and a painkiller for the pai n. Pr egnant wom en must pay special attention when taking antihist am i nes. I f t he pai n i s very intense, or the victim’s condition worsens, they should seek medical attention immediately. I t ’s not necessar y t o rub yourself, either with towels or with sand; not with anything that could hurt you even more. How can I avoid being stung by a jellyfish? You shoul d keep an eye out for the appearance of these animals on beaches or places where you regularly swim. You shoul d never t ouch or handle jellyfish if you are not wearing appropriate protective gloves. Limit yourself to looki ng at t hem f r om f ar away. They may be curious cr eat ur es, but you shoul dn’t f orget t hat their stings can be dangerous.

Skin cancer awareness week MORE than 250 dermatologists evaluated thousands of Spaniards across 49 provinces in a bid to detect and prevent skin cancer. The initiative was part of the 2017 melanoma campaign organised by Spain’s Academy of Dermatolo g y a n d Ve n e re o lo g y (AEDV), in which 33 other EU countries also participated. According to AEDV, around 4,000 melanomas are diagnosed each year in Spain and believe around 80 per cent of these could have been avoided if adequate sun protection was used. Cases are more common in those aged over 50, particularly as sun protection and the damaging sun’s rays were less known about a few decades ago, but there are more and more cases of young people being diagnosed due to unhealthy habits of sun exposure. However, the good news is that 80 per cent of melanomas are cured with surgery and early diagnosis means it is unlikely to have spread to other parts of the body. D uri n g t h e we e k - l o n g ca mpaign, specialists analysed moles
and offered free consultations to check people’s skin. Different activities were also arranged to remind people of the importance of protecting the skin from the sun’s harmful rays and in checking moles for any changes. Remember if you have an existing mole that has changed shape, colour or size, you should get it checked. Also, look for new moles, spots or lesions that are red, can bleed and are not healing. SUN DAMAGE: Get your moles checked out.
CHECK UPS: Are important for young children.
Child dental care concerns NHS dental care is free for children and yet a report has revealed that around 80 per cent of one and two-year-olds in England did not visit an NHS dentist last year. For children up to the age of four, the figure was 60 per cent. Dental experts recommend children start seeing a dentist as soon as their first teeth start to appear and should continue with annual appointments to help spot any potential problems early on such as tooth decay. This was be-
lieved to be the cause of many of the 9,220 tooth extractions which were performed in hospitals on children aged from one to four during 2015-2016. Experts say 90 per cent of tooth decay problems are preventable with good oral hygiene. They are calling on the government to carry out more awareness campaigns highlighting the importance of dental check ups in young children and to remind them they are free.

The Midas Touch in La Cala THE happy couple, who own the superb Little Geranium restaurant in La Cala de Mijas, took time out to share some news with EWN. Steven and Michele Saunders have created a huge buzz with their concept of inventive food using local ingredients which is literally bringing guests from far and wide to enjoy Steven’s creative dishes. When asked what makes the Little Geranium stand out over so many of the others, Michele says “we welcome people as if they are visiting our home, its home like décor has pictures of our family and friends and of Steven from his Ready Steady Cook days. “It also has an open kitchen so that you can see Steven and his team headed up by Albert (always smiling) and we have a pretty terrace on a really quaint Spanish street amongst Spanish homes and their families, its very unique. Oh and let’s not forget the amazing food cooked by my husband!” When the couple got married recently, they threw a big party at the nearby El Oceano Hotel which they agree was the perfect setting for their wedding. Michele comes from South Africa but spent 12 years in Belfast, working as a ballet dancer and teacher with her own schools, so she relates to the Irish clientele at the Little Geranium of which there are many. She tells us that “the Irish people love good food and Steven and I appreciate them as they are always so grateful that we are here in La Cala. Of course many other nationalities also visit us but everyone needs to plan their visit as we are a small restaurant and we fill up very quickly. “People often complain that
we are full and that we should be open seven days a week, but we are not going to do that as we value our team and want to offer a great service which is why we only open five days a week, to offer the best for five days rather than tiring the team out! “ Steven comments “I want to do at least one more restaurant in this area, Geranium Marbella will be different but the same style of food, a more relaxed environment. We love the atmosphere at the LG but it’s always so busy, it really buzzes, great if you want a lively night out but it’s nice to have the option. “That is why Michele and I have taken the plunge to open our second Geranium opening July (we hope) located on the Golden Mile in Marbella, lots of parking behind the restaurant and easy to find, opposite the Marbella Club Hotel.” He goes on to explain the logistics behind the decision “We have two great chefs both Michelin star trained and both originally trained by me who are in the wings waiting. They are currently in Belfast working for a respected chef but they are waiting to operate their first Michelin starred restaurant over here and they are very excited. “We have to earn a star of course but the plan is that I write the menus and oversee the kitchen but stay at the Geranium La Cala which is our baby. Michele will manage and host the new Geranium and we plan to only serve about 45 covers to begin with, very exclusively and very calmly only opening five evenings, no lunches and we will close on Sundays and Mondays so the focus is strong for five evenings. It will of course be bookings only and even before we open we have a list of people wanting tables!” With a new book in the pipeline, a new restaurant and the need for Steven to be up and out early to purchase the freshest and tastiest ingredients, this pair of restaurateurs are looking forward to a busy and successful year and a future that will prove that they have the Midas Touch.

If penicillin can cure those that are ill, Spanish Sherry can bring the dead back to life. Alexander Fleming If God had not made Sherry, how imperfect his work would have been. Benito Perez Galdos
GOOD FOOD, GOOD WINE AND GOOD FRIENDS WITH
GARRY WAITE NE OF THE MOST ANNOYING THINGS ABOUT BARS AND RESTAURANTS in this part of the world is attempting to get a Sherry. If very lucky you may be offered a Tio Pepe, but apart from that you will get a Manzanilla! And yet we are only a spittoon’s distance from the home of Sherry. Jerez is a fabulous city and a visit to the Sherry houses is always worthwhile, as is the Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre (Royal Andalucian School of Equestrian Art) to see an incredible horse show. I have loved Sherry since I was a kid. It was my Christmas treat even at the age of 10. Just like Mateus Rosé, Liebfraumilch, Blue Nun and Entre-Deux-Mers it was the sort of wine that 60’s people drank... as long as it was Bristol Cream! But to discover the delicate chalky overtones of a delicate Fino, like La Ina, or a rich Oloroso is worth the wait. I once held a dinner where I paired food with Sherry, starting with a great Fino with Oysters and finishing with a rich dessert with the fabulous Pedro Ximenez. Though I could go on about the attributes of a great Sherry, instead I have asked my friend Rex Leyland, London restaurateur (ret’d) and Sherry aficionado to give me his perspective on the state of Sherry in Andalucia.
Deals on meals
O
BLUE WINE: Unusual.
SPANISH SHERRY: A visit to Jerez is worthwhile. REX SAYS “I share Garry’s annoyance that when I arrive in a restaurant in Andalucia and ask for a copita of Sherry all they offer is a glass of Manzanilla, which technically is not Sherry as it comes from Sanlucar and not Jerez.* Sometimes they may also offer a glass of Fino, which is of course Sherry, but very dry. I prefer the other slightly richer Sherries, like most English people, while the Spanish prefer Fino. Jerez produces many varieties of Sherry that for me are much more exhilarating - namely Old Amontillado, Oloroso Seco, Palo Cortado and abocado, ligadillos, [both local Andalucian words], in common Spanish it is mitad mitad, which is a mix of normally dry and sweeter varieties. These are normally dispensed in front of you so that you can choose which balance of dry and sweet you prefer. Why can’t every restaurant stock the province’s most famous wines. This beggar’s belief. I can only assume that the Spanish have just lost appreciation of their own incredible invention.
This is so sad as the wines have so much to offer and can be enjoyed primarily as an aperitif, or drunk with various foods including ham, seafood, cheese, and of course for the English, all Sherries complement fine smoked salmon. Sherry is robust enough to withstand many strong flavours which then, as with the sweeter varieties, allow them to be enjoyed as a digestif; as cream and old Oloroso, can accompany various puddings and cakes. A good way to enjoy the sweeter wines is to prick plump sultanas or raisins and macerate for 24 hours allowing them to engorge the Sherry and serve with ice cream! Sadly now, for aficionados, good Sherry has to be found in England as it is so difficult to obtain in Spain. The best stock of these great wines are in gentlemen’s clubs in St James’s in London. Recently I was in a small bodega in Puerto Santa Maria called Bodegas Obregon where we were spoilt with locally produced varieties of Sherry including Muscatel and other sweet wines which were all mixed with dryer types.
Rosé, Red, White or BLUE? THIS WEEK’S WINE CORNER is extremely unusual and a first in my case. I am familiar with blue tonic but this is the first time that I have encountered BLUE wine!! Baltar de Alort was given by a friend to try. I admit to having been a little hesitant, even though it looks pretty! Trying to find information about this
wine, however, has proven difficult. The Bodega, which is in Alcázar de San Juan (Ciudad Real) seems to specialise in sparkling wine. Nothing is mentioned about this ‘still’ version! It has very little nose, because of its colour one cannot determine the freshness of colour, hue just to say... it’s blue!! On the nose it has undercurrents of acetone (yes nail polish!) and little fruit. I did try two small glasses!! But was obviously not convinced.
I WAS VERY SURPRISED when asked by a colleague to find a place to hold a lunch for 60- 80 people in Marbella that there is a shortage of premises/restaurateurs willing to hold such an event. Having arranged many similar events across Spain as an organiser for Classic Car Clubs and the like, including such lunches in my own restaurants, I have normally been greeted with some enthusiasm. It’s true that the budget offered is normally well down on the average spend per head that many venues are used to achieving, but if you have a place that is empty on that day then to me it’s fairly logical. Criteria are parking space, a large enough room to lunch and a quality, value for money menu. Maybe Marbella restaurants are doing so well, they don’t need the extra €2,500 such an event can bring in!!
A copa in this bar costs very little - perhaps a couple of Euro - with tapas to accompany. You can also take away any of the Sherries from the barrels for about 6€ a litre, but they charge an extra 1€ if they have to provide a bottle! For those who adore Spanish brandy as I do, they also produce their own, which is well worth sampling and of course it’s for sale. Finally there are other Spanish wines that ‘pose’ as Sherry namely Montilla and Chiclana, and although they seem to drink better when consumed in their respective town’s bars, I prefer to avoid them elsewhere as they can never match the great wine called Sherry!” *Manzanilla can technically be considered Sherry. It has a separate DO (denominación de origen) as it only comes from Sanlúcar, but is run by the same Consejo Regulador, in Jerez.
ON THAT NOTE I will bid farewell until next week and should aspiring restaurateurs need some help or advice, please do contact me. A toast to Good Food, Good Wine and Good Friends.

By Graeme Tyrrell A JACARANDA tree in full flower is a spectacular sight to behold. Its almost iridescent mauve flowers brighten up streets and gardens all around the world and it is celebrated with festivals in many countries when in flower. Spain is fortunate to have many Jacaranda trees as the climate here is almost ideal for them to thrive in coastal regions and frost free zones.
The flowers appear in late spring and early summ e r. A h e a l t h y t r e e w i l l produce hundreds of bellshaped flowers in conspicuous large groups or panicles that will cover the whole tree. The fern like leaves are also very attractive. They create a softer environment and lighter shade which allows the flowers to be more dominant but add their own qualities of softness when the flowering season has finished.

Jacaranda tree - is it friend or foe?
SPECTACULAR SIGHT: A Jacaranda tree in full flower. The tree generally grows slowly to a height of 20 metres over several decades in average soil but will grow faster in nutrient rich soil. I have a tree that is 20 years old that I add no compost to now that it is established and has reached about 10 metres. This is an ideal size to appreciate the

Pruning a Jacaranda spoils its natural shape and they don’t recover well. flowers but not have it take over the garden as its neighbouring mulberry tree attempts to do.
The Jacaranda require no pruning except to remove deadwood. Pruning a Jacaranda spoils its natural shape and they don’t recover well from pruning. Pruning also stimulates vertical growth of branches which is contrary to its natural horizontal form. It spoils the look of the tree to have vertical growths so it be-
comes a chore to have to keep removing them. The difficulty of having a Jacaranda tree however is that it sheds material practically all year. Never plant one even remotely near a pool or over driveways, paths or any area that you do not want covered in plant debris. If you do, you will be constantly sweeping and cleaning the area of spent flowers, fern needles and seed pods. This is where they become a foe. They must only be planted where they can happily shed their plant material without spoiling anything else otherwise they become a menace. The Jacarandas’ shedding characteristic can be an asset however as in the right place, such as an open field or the centre of a l a rg e g a r d e n b e d o r a s a bordered feature on a lawn, the fallen flowers can look wonderful and provide a mulch around the tree and for the garden. So the answer to whether it will be a friend or foe depends on where you place it. For the Jacaranda to be a valuable asset to admire without the complication of constant clean up, place it in a position where it can be a benefit to provide an abundance of mulching material for the garden away from built structures that can be adversely affected by its debris. In this way you can enjoy one of the most beautiful flowering trees in the world.

A DOG harness is piece of equipment for dogs, similar to harness tack for horses. There are various designs, depending on the type of use. Harnesses can be used on Seeing Eye dogs in assistance of a disabled person, on working dogs that haul a cart or sled, or even in sporting events, such as in the Scandinavian practice of skijoring and pulka. Harnesses are also worn by non-working dogs for training purposes. A harness is often worn in conjunction with a dog collar and used as an alternative for a dog leash attachment. While a collar only encircles the neck, harnesses have a loop that surrounds the torso as well, with connecting straps between them for added reinforcement and control. The design allows for distribution of force which may prevent choking; a dog will also not be able to
HARNESS: Comes in three mai n types. slip free from a harness as they may easily do from a standard collar. Harness usage is growing in popularity among many pet owners, especially for those with smaller breed dogs. Buttonholes in pet clothes allowing access to harness straps are among recent adjustments to accommodate the increasing use of harnesses. Assistance dogs will sometimes wear a harness if part of their job requires guiding or providing physical mobility for a disabled person. Generally, the harness design includes a built-in handle for the person to grip; this type also offers reinforcement to the handler as well as a padded breast plate for the dog’s comfort. Sturdiness of the design depends on whether the dog is gently leading, acting as a brace, or physically pulling a wheelchair. Sled dog harnesses vary depending on the purpose of the animal; the two basic duties of a sled dog is hauling freight or some sort or racing. Harnesses come in three main types: the freight har-
THE Bengal cat has an exotic look about them. They are smaller than wild cats and fortunately, not as dangerous. The Bengal cat came about through the crossing of Asian leopard cats with domestic cats. They have spotted and marbled coats of many colours, large bones and short hair. They are also very intelligent and require a great deal of attention, which may be due to their inquisitive nature and high energy. They are constantly on the move and love to climb to the highest of places.
ness, the H-back harness, and the X-back harness. Dog sports are growing and more types of harnesses are being developed, including the Y-back style and guard or distance harness. The freight harness is often an H-back harness that forms a ladder-like effect across the back with a wide chest band and extra padding. The construction distributes the weight across the chest and over the shoulders because of the broadness of the area; is designed to help the dog pull heavy weights efficiently. The X-back harness gets its name from the straps that form an ‘X’ across the back of the dog. It is used more frequently than the H-back, with short versions that ride farther forward on the dog’s body. The Y-back is a hybrid somewhat similar in appearance to the H-back. The tug line attaches to the harness on top of the dog’s back and stretches parallel to the ground or upwards to whatever is being hauled.

Beauty of a Bengal cat Bengal cats also love the great outdoors, where their ancestral genes kick in to action and then they become a predator, while enjoying other pursuits like a bit of bird watching. There is a sensitive and playful side to this cat and when they have gained trust in their owner, they can
become the most affectionate of pets, never leaving your side. If they are left alone for a period of time, when the owner goes on holiday; there could be a few gifts dotted around the house, on returning. It’s their way of telling you they’re upset, but this applies to most cats.

For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155.

Most powerful 911 ever By Matthew Elliott PORSCHE has released the most powerful 911 Turbo ever made. The Turbo S Exclusive Series went on sale in Germany last week and is scheduled for an extremely limited release of just 500 units worldwide. Priced at roughly €260,000 the Coupe boasts 607hp with a 3.8 litre six-cylinder biturbo flat engine. It can reach 100kph from a standstill in just 2.9 seconds and is distinguished by a golden yellow metal paint finish. Top speed is 330kph. Front seats adjust 18 different ways. The limited edition model naturally includes Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, Porsche Active Suspension Management, and the Sport Chrono package.
The bonnet is carved from carbon fibre. Built entirely by an inhouse team, it is the first Porsche to advertise the team’s badge, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. The move has prompted speculation that the German brand is planning to wheel out regular exclusive edition models to cater to a growing luxury market. Other colours are available, at a price. There are also 500 watch-
es. The smoothly named Porsche Design Chronograph 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series Watch costs a cool €10,000 and is forged from lightweight titanium. A bespoke luggage set is also on offer.
EXCLUSIVE: Turbo S Exclusive Series most powerful 911 ever built.
Porsche press release.
AN intruder has broken into the ranks of the world’s most valuable car companies. The new global top 10 now includes Tesla, the Silicon Valley insurgent with a tech billionaire CEO and laser focus on the emerging autonomous driving field. Tesla’s value rose by 32 per cent last year to reach $5.9 bil-
Do not disturb TECH powerhouse Apple has announced a new iPhone feature which will block all notifications during driving. The Do Not Disturb While Driving option can detect whether users are at the wheel and how fast the car is travelling. If it determines that you are in fact driving, it will block all phone calls, text messages and emails. Contacts will be told that you are driving through an answering machine mechanism or text replies. If it’s an emergency, contacts can use the word ‘urgent’ and the driver’s phone will simply state that word to alert them. The Do Not Disturb feature will be available on all recent iPhones which can handle the new iOS operating system being rolled out after summer.
Top 10 shake up lion. That makes it the eighth most valuable car brand on the planet, ahead of Land Rover and Porsche, on a 2017 Global Brands survey. Elon Musk’s company still has a lot of work to do before rivalling more established com-
petitors at the business end of top 10. Despite registering a 3 per cent slump in 2016, Toyota is still the most valuable brand at $28.7 billion, almost five times Tesla’s value. German duo BMW and Mercedes are in second and third spots at $24.6 billion and $23.5 billion respectively. Ford, Honda, Nissan and Audi make up fourth to seventh places. Though nine members of the motoring top 10 would have been recognisable 30 years ago, industry experts believe quickly approaching changes will soon usher in a major shake up of the list. Tesla is valued in the billions despite having only made 84,000 cars last year, contrasting with the 10 million produced by General Motors. Mass production of autonomous cars will put them at the forefront of that particular revolution. Meanwhile tech giants Apple and Google are hungrily eying the motoring world. With their entrance all bets are off for Ford, Honda, and other major names.

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher
Opel Mokka X THE Mokka X is a revised version of the Opel-Vauxhall Mokka crossover, and with smart looks, extra equipment and the option of four-wh e e l d r i v e , i t c a n take on the best in this fastgrowing segment. There is a wide range of petrol and diesel engines, with the 1.6 diesel a highlight, but so too is the 1.4 turbo-petrol engine which offers 0-100 kph in well under 10 seconds, yet can still return excellent fuel economy. Mokka X prices start at €21,746 (£18,930) and entry level version is well-kitted with standard features such as cruise control, parking sensors, power windows and door mirrors, high beam assist, alloy wheels and a touchscreen infotainment system. That list covers what most people want but up the range more and more equipment is added and my test model was in Elite trim and with au t o g e a r b o x , f o u rwheel d r i v e a n d 1 . 4 litre petrol engine cost €30,282 (£26,360). For this price you get too much to list but kit includes larger a l l o y wh e e l s, r o o f rails , si d e m o u l d in g s ,

leather heated sports seats and heated steering wheel, touch-screen and connectivity including Apple CarPlay an d A n d ro id A u to , and Opel-Vauxhall OnStar which offers a range of driver aids. You also get climate and cruise controls, auto lights and wipers, front and rear parking sensors among many other features. The Mokka X has strong
vis ua l roa d pre s e nc e a nd dis pla ys a c e rta in c a c he t which is important in a sector where kudos can sometimes outweigh commonsense. It also scores well for its practicality, surprisingly roomy ins ide tha nks to clever design and with plenty of cabin storage for oddments. It can just about accommodate three adults in the rear with reasonable
comfort. The 356 litre boot is among the biggest in the class and can be increased to 1,372 litres by folding the rear seats, which drop flat easily. The cabin has a quality appearance with attractive design touches, chrome deta iling a nd w e ll-orde re d layout of controls and overall, the Mokka X interior is a pleasant place to be. Only quibble is with the oddlydesigned handbrake release which is awkward to operate. On the road, the 150 hp 1.4 litre turbo petrol engine is refined and quick, with a 0-100 kph time of 9.3 seconds and a top speed of 193 kph (120 mph). Fuel economy is 15.4 kpl (43.5 mpg). The controls are light and pos itive , giving a s s ure d handling and minimal bodypitc h on the c orne rs , a nd ride quality though firm is still comfortable. Mokka X is right among the be s t in the c ompa c t crossover class, with impressive styling, good driving dynamics and plenty of standard equipment. So much kit in fact that many buyers will find bestvalue at entry or mid-range levels.

Classic Car Club of Andalucia
The May Classic Car Run he May Classic Car Run was a great success. The start was near Ojen, just above the La Cañada shopping centre, where around 45 beautiful cars turned out on a very pleasant, hot day. Breakfast was enjoyed at Venta Peligrino and cars departed at their leisure just after 11.00am after the usual briefing from Club Chairman / Presidente, Ian Giles who had also organised the run and day out. The route went up and over the top of Ojen, passing Monda and Coin before heading for the back-road to Alozaina and Casarabonela. Then a climb up out of Casarabonela on the Ma-
T
5401 through the beautiful forest where a drinks halt was much appreciated! That before descending to the spectacular ArdalesEl Burgo road and out through El Burgo to by-pass Alozaina and Tolox and turning up through Guaro and Monda. The route was a great success and showed off some beautiful parts of Andalucia which is always a treat. The finish of the day was at the famous Castillo de Monda (Monda Castle) where a very enjoyable lunch was taken and some stupendous views enjoyed from the top of this amazing old castle. See some of the photos of this great classic car day out on
this page. By the time you read this the June classic car run will have taken place and we will report on that in our next Euro Weekly News page. For those of you wanting information on the Club or details of how to join, please see www.cccandaucia.com or email info@cccandalucia.com.
