Mystery dog deaths spark probe A SPATE of dog deaths has caused a Marbella playground to be closed as fears over child safety grow. Police have been probing the case after almost a dozen pet owners filed complaints that their animals had been poisoned. Police and veterinary experts have combed the area where residents reportedly believe the ground has been laced with a barely visible toxic substance. Samples of the suspect substance are currently being analysed and the area remains closed to the public.

WIDESPREAD traffic chaos is forecast over the weekend with 6.3 million drivers expected to hit Spanish roads. The alert came ahead of yesterday’s national holiday, with many Spaniards opting to take an extra day off today (Friday) and enjoy a weekend getaway. The number of police and technicians operating on the national road network will be boosted to more than 14,000 until midnight on Sunday, traffic authorities confirmed. Heavy traffic and tailbacks are expected as tens of thousands head for the coast or countryside. On Saturday much of the gridlock is set to be concentrated around beaches, theme parks and other leisure attractions, while major delays are also predicted for Sunday as the returning hordes spark further congestion.

By Kat Ashton SPANISH Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy insists he will impose direct rule on Cataluña in three days unless Carles Puigdemont withdraws his independence declaration. While addressing the Spanish government on Wednesday, Rajoy asked the Catalan leader to clarify whether he announced a split from Spain during his earlier address to the Catalan Parliament. It comes after Puigdemont fudged his speech when he put a halt on the announcement to leave room for “dialogue” with Spain. He vowed to follow through with the wishes of his people to make Cataluña an independent state but then immediately turned back on himself, stating he wanted to resolve the conflict in “a calm and agreed manner.” It was reported that Donald Tusk, the president of the European Council, stepped in at the 13th hour to appeal for Cataluña to begin talks with the Spanish government. Rajoy accused Puigdemont of having created “deliberate confusion” adding that if an

SPAIN grows almost 300 varieties of olives and each tree produces between 15-20 kilos in its lifetime. The most common national olive is the Manzanilla, favoured by farmers as it’s one of the easiest to pluck from the tree, and often sold stuffed with garlic or pimiento paste. Other popular types include the Gordal, a large, robust olive ideal for stuffing, the Hojiblanca, with a thicker skin producing a sharper bite, and the Cacereña; a fruity, milder variety ideal for anyone trying olives for the first time. Green and black olives actually grow on the same tree they naturally turn darker as they ripen - although some farmers cure their olives in brine to turn them black faster. Andalucia is the world’s largest olive-growing region and produces more than 900,000 tonnes annually. It is also one of the few places where the fruit is still picked by hand so the olives can be sold to be eaten whole. This labour is time-consuming and an expensive dilemma but farmers have yet to come up with a faster method that doesn’t damage their crop. Most other regions grow olives only for oil production so don’t mind if they come off the tree a bit bruised. Farm workers either rake bruised olives, and those they have shaken from trees with a stick, into baskets. Olive trees can live for more than a 1,000 years and at

REGIONAL officials have emphasised the importance of completing both the Mediterranean and Central Corridor rail projects. Local authorities say that equal emphasis should be placed on finishing both developments as they are equally important for Andalucia’s economy. The Mediterranean Corridor will stretch for over for 6,000 km and connect the south of Spain with the entire underbelly of Europe, crossing over six countries including France, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary. The Central Corridor, on the other hand, will run up the backbone of the country, connecting the southern provinces with Madrid and industry in the north. While in other parts of the country, the focus has been on completing just one of the two lines, Andalucian authorities see them both as equally important as they will be vital links which connect the region with the rest of Spain and Europe, making it easier to transport goods. Both projects, which are partly funded by money from the EU, will take root in the Andalucian port town of Algeciras and connect with Malaga port, easing deliveries of southern exports to Mediterranean and northern trade towns. While the Mediterranean Corridor was scheduled to be completed in 2025, local media sources report that this now seems unlikely following delay. Authorities have yet to schedule a completion date for the Central Corridor.
Catch of the day AN exotic predatory fish that sparked fears in Marbella has been caught. Council officials made several attempts to capture the alligator gar over the course of several days. It is believed to have been thrown into the artificial lake in La Represa Park at a young age where it grew to almost a metre in length and 11.5 kilos in weight. A Fishermens’ Guild representative eventually trapped it using a double-thickness net. It has now arrived at the Bioparc Fuengirola zoo in good condition and will undergo a series of tests to rule out the presence of disease or parasites. After quarantine it will be transferred to a display containing three others of the same species. The alligator gar is native to North America and can grow to three metres long, but is sold in pet shops at a small size. It is not invasive in Spain, nor does it pose a threat to humans.

Child abuser held A 22-YEAR-OLD Spanish man has been held in Marbella for the alleged sexual abuse of four children. The incidents are reported to have occurred while the man worked as a volunteer for a local charity organisation, helping children with their homework after school. The mother of one of the victims reported that her son had been abused by his classroom assistant. Although the children studied together in a group, it is believed the man took individuals to a private room where he would touch them inappropriately. Police received three further complaints from parents in the hours following his arrest, all accusing the former assistant of similar behaviour. According to local media sources, all the victims are around seven-yearsold. The suspect, who remains in custody, already had a history of paedophilia and corruption of minors, which was apparently unknown to the charity that employed him.

POLICE have broken up an illegal television distribution service in Fuengirola selling pay-per-view channels to Scandinavian expats. Three people have been held, including a 40-yearold Danish man believed to be the mastermind behind the business. The trio have been charged with fraud, money laundering and abusing licensing regulations. Investigators began proving the case back in April when a Danish TV company with exclusive rights to their channels reported that their programmes were being broadcast illegally. The gang allegedly pirated the signal and sold the package at a much lower price to thousands of customers in Spain, who paid a minimum of €35 per month.

OUR VIEW
Compromise is needed THERE was a major irony that yesterday (Thursday) was El Dia de la Hispanidad (National Day) here in Spain whilst the country seems to be more divided than ever. October 12 is dedicated to Christopher Columbus, but radicals in Barcelona have been calling for the iconic statue built in 1888 that stands at the bottom of La Rambla to be treated the same way as statues of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein by pulling it down. Another important celebration which falls on the same date is the Feast of Our Lady of Pilar who happens to be the Patroness of both Spain and the Guardia Civil which may also be a cause for discomfort in Cataluña following recent events. Modern Spain is at a crossroads and the next weeks and months will determine whether the bitter split between those who want Cataluña to become an independent state and King Felipe VI and the government supported by PSOE can possibly be repaired. A logical compromise could be for the Spanish government to offer Cataluña the opportunity to hold a nonbinding referendum under different terms which would be overseen by Spain which would allow for all parties to fairly judge the wishes of the people. It’s unlikely to happen this way but without compromise on both sides, the schism will only widen.

LAZY LITTERERS: Several owners are actually leaving the waste bags on the street instead of finding a bin.
Ruff justice! Dog owners scorned EXCLUSIVE By Kat Ashton RESIDENTS of Riviera del Sol are outraged over dog owners’ refusal to clean up after their pets. Many dog owners are allowing their four-legged friends to do their business and then leave it right there on the pavement. Even though there are plenty of bins around, it would seem that several dog walkers choose to leave the house without bags, although some even put the waste in a bag and then leave it on the street. John Saunders, a disgrun-
tled resident who is originally from Kent, explained that although there are plenty of signs around asking owners to clean up after their dogs, they are often ignored. John, who has owned a property in the neighbourhood for over 15 years but moved to Spain permanently when he retired two years ago, said that he had even caught a dog walker in the act and asked him to clean it up, but the Spanish owner confessed not to bringing any bags with him. He also suggested that the Local Police should start fining people €20 if they are caught without doggy bags while taking their pet
out for a walk. “There have been a few occasions when I have nearly forgotten the bags so I have had to go back into the house to fetch them,” he said. “But I would be happy to pay the fine if I was stopped - it would certainly stop you from forgetting again.” Although the area used to have bins specifically for dog excrement, the council soon took them away because locals were filling them with the wrong kind of waste. The Local Police were unable to offer a solution to the problem when quizzed by the Euro Weekly News.

Police arrested the 28-year-old man wanted for attempted murder last Wednesday and he was sentenced to jail time by the Fuengirola court the following day. The man is believed to have stabbed a member of the Local Police force following an altercation involving other members of the public on September 14. According to Local Police sources, the alleged attacker was harassing senior citizens in the town centre when the officer intervened. The man then turned on the officer and stabbed him several times in the chest and arms. The policeman escaped with only minor wounds as he reportedly managed to dodge the weapon before it caused more serious injuries. The assailant fled the scene of the attack before he could be detained but officers were later able to track him down and take him into custody.

Peach of a beach! MARBELLA’S beaches are set to become safer with an investment of €1 million. The councillor for Environment and Beaches, Manuel Cardeña, announced that Marbella City Council will expand and strengthen its search and rescue service in 2018. Between June 1 and September 15 of this year, a total of 18,311 beach incidents were attended. The mayor, Angeles Muñoz, announced the campaign investment along with the head of Civil Protection, Jesus Eguia. Some of the factors that will come as part of the investment include electronic public address systems for more direct communication with beachgoers and security points with direct lines to 112 emergency services. The locations of the rescue turrets will also be altered in an effort to give

A total of 2,967 health care services have been carried out, in which jellyfish stings added up to 492 which was a significant re-
duction compared to previous years when as many as 4,000 were reached. The highest number of incidents, totalling 10,610, came as a result of noncompliance with regulations, with illegal street vending making up 3,864 of these cases. As many as 124 water rescues were carried out and 13,745 leaflets as well as 8,350 identification bracelets were distributed. Eguia praised the success of this season’s rescue campaign, he said: “The most important thing that has happened in beach security is precisely that nothing major has happened and we must emphasise this with it having been a very bad year on the rest of the Spanish coasts. “We must be grateful for the serious and professional work and coordination of our emergency services.”
Asian persuasion was announced by Costa del Sol Tourism Manager Antonio Diaz and Ronda City Council’s Tourism Delegate, Isabel Barriga. Speaking to Spanish me-

Fatal crash ONE person died and five others were injured in an accident involving several high-performance motorcycles on the A-355 road between Marbella and Ojen. For reasons not yet clear, several riders left the road near the viewpoint, an area popular with motorcyclists. The 112 emergency services coordination centre received the first reports of the crash at about 12.30 in the afternoon on Saturday. One biker was critically injured and died later. Five others were injured - three men and two women - and all are described as ‘stable’ at the Costa del Sol Hospital in Marbella. Ambulances, Civil Guard and Local Police attended the scene.
Courses have been set up in Mijas, Malaga City, Nerja and Ronda which teach the basics of Japanese language and customs. More than 30,000 tourists from EastAsia visited the province in 2016 and the council are hoping that the action plan, which will continue until at least 2019, will increase this number further.

PROSECUTORS are demanding 11 years in prison for a man who reportedly stabbed a friend. Whilst waiting for a televised football match to begin, the defendant allegedly stabbed the victim by surprise in the neck and then in the side with a 13-centimetre kitchen knife. The victim tried to restrain the attacker with one hand whilst attempting to plug the gaping wound on his neck with the other, receiving several more knife wounds in the process. Malaga Prosecutor’s Office insist that the stabbing was an attempted murder due to the location of the puncture as well as the fact that it was a seemingly unprovoked, surprise attack. It is alleged that, prior to kick-off, the owner went to the toilet and the defendant made the surprise attack whilst the victim sat alone on the sofa. The victim spent 10 days in hospital due to the severity of his injuries. In addition to the 11-year sentence, prosecutors are pushing for a €6,000 compensation payout. A private case by the victim against the defendant is also demanding €10,000 in compensatory funds.

Parents’ fury No help for disabled children
ALORA: More specialised school staff needed. INCENSED parents of disabled schoolchildren have
taken their complaints to the local prosecutor’s office. The lack of sufficient monitors for 16 children at Los Llanos school in Alora has forced parents to demand action. A request was made to the Ministry of Education in 2016 but reportedly fell upon deaf ears. The argument they received is that the centre already has a monitor, but that monitor only addresses a specific classroom of four children.

Plan to quieten noisy bars NOISY bars and restaurants are set to be silenced. Malaga City Council are desperate to dampen the din created by diners and drinkers in the city centre, as rising noise complaints have lead them to consider imposing restrictions on entertainment. Imaginative solutions are being thought up in a bid to combat the sounds emitted
from the teeming terraces of the city centre which can carry on until the early morning. The councillor for Environmental Sustainability, Raul Jimenez, has announced that starting next month, soundproofed screens and awnings will undergo trial which are believed to be able to significantly reduce the impact on housing by 20 decibels. Tests will begin on the Environmental Advisory Centre, in Plaza Montaño, where the sounds of a typical noisy evening will be simulated and the dampening equipment put in place. Should this prove successful then the innovative method will be tested in real situations in order to provide a definitive assessment of its
effectiveness. The system is designed by acoustic engineer Ines Araguez and is based on the interposition between the noise emitting source and the receiver, where a screen or barrier will absorb a percentage of the sound waves and diffract the rest. This will prevent the sound waves from penetrating the walls of nearby buildings to such a degree, minimising the impact. The panels act as a roof over the terraces but can be folded up overnight, as to not hinder the security of firstfloor abodes above. Approximately 20 streets in the old town reach 70 decibels during the night but regulations state that the maximum limit is 55.

OFFICERS of the Guardia Civil working with French police have busted a major drug gang in Malaga. This has been a long term investigation conducted over two years which has resulted in the arrest of 28 people including the leader of the gang, a Moroccan who lived in Fuengirola. As the officers started to piece together the make-up of the gang, they discovered that there was a second branch of the organisation in Granada which took delivery of the
drugs and then sent them to their eventual destinations across Europe using vehicles with false bottoms. In 12 coordinated raids, officers seized more than five tons of hashish, 390 kilos of marihuana, €522,410 in cash, one firearm and a number of vehicles with an estimated total combined value of €10 million. The Spanish investigation included searches of suspects’ properties and in one raid alone, officers found suitcases full of cash. Search operations in France and Holland also resulted in similar finds.
Big works begin A €3.8 MILLION project has begun in Torremolinos. As previously reported in the Euro Weekly News, the pedestrianisation of Plaza Costa del Sol and its surroundings, covers an 8,000 square metre area and should be completed by 2019. Commencing with the rehabilitation of the house Maria Barrabino, the first action was the clearing of the property and securing of the structure with acrow props. The edifice is a testimony to the bourgeois architecture of the 19th century and after its complete architectural restoration, it will be accessible from the plaza as the shops that are currently hiding it will be demolished once the council reach an agreement with their current owners.

Each year the Genal Valley in the Ronda mountains fills
with the green spiny balls which house the nuts. The collection process is completely manual and workers must don protective gloves, but many still suffer injuries due to the sharpness of the spikes. They spend the entire day crouched or kneeling, breaking the protective casings apart one by one as they fill
their buckets. Many of the chestnuts are exported across Europe but some producers sell them locally. There are approximately 3,500 hectares of chestnut trees in Ronda that produce up to four million kilograms of chestnuts each year and serve as the main source of income for many families.

The dark side of stag and hen dos MALAGA capital has surged in popularity among bachelor and bachelorette parties in recent years, much to the dismay of many of the city’s residents. Locals and businesses alike have criticised the celebrations which are currently unregulated by local authorities, unlike neighbouring cities Granada and Mojacar who now place penalties on anyone who dresses or acts inappropriately. Mercedes Espinel, a spokeswoman for the Historical Centre’s Neighbourhood Association, claimed that these parties have a negative impact on the local community as groups crowd themselves into small apartments and disrupt the neighbours late into the night. Espinel argued that these gatherings benefit neither the city’s residents nor its tourism industry but that these people will continue to flock to Malaga until stricter rules are put in place. Jose Simon Martinez, a spokesman for the Malaga Hotels Association (MAHOS) stated that although hoteliers are able to keep these groups under control, he agreed that the phenomenon should be addressed by the regional authorities as locals do not rely on stag and hen parties for business. However, Martinez also pointed out that even though the number of these events has increased, there has only been several isolated incidents that have caused problems for the city.

€220 million cocaine sting SPANISH authorities have held seven drug traffickers who tried to smuggle almost four tonnes of cocaine worth an estimated €220 million into the country. The bust comes following a tip off from international investigators. Authorities intercepted a tug boat while it was crossing the Atlantic around 540 miles from the
Canary Islands. The vessel was towed into the Spanish port of Cadiz where police officers arrested the crew. They found over 160 individual packets of the drug, each weighing around 23kg, stashed away in a watertight compartment under the boat’s kitchen. The Spanish authorities con-
firmed they received assistance from the Colombian drug trafficking authorities (DIRAN) throughout the operation. The incident is the second major international drug bust to take place in the Atlantic in recent weeks, after the Portuguese navy ambushed a yacht believed to be transporting cocaine to Europe from the Caribbean.
Endangered Spanish lynx shot dead POLICE have asked for help to find out who shot an endangered Iberian lynx at close-range in Jaen Province, Andalucia. Agents from Seprona, the Guardia Civil’s animal protection unit, have turned to social media to seek information after c o n f i r m i n g t h a t t h e a n i m a l ’s death was no accident. I n a p o s t o n Tw i t t e r, t h e Guardia Civil asked: “Do you know who shot a lynx in Sierra Morena? “Help us to hunt them down. “Hunters are usually respectful.” An autopsy confirmed that the female lynx, which weighed 9.5 kilograms and was just over oneyear-old, was shot at close range of around five to 10 metres. An x-ray revealed more than 100 fragments of lead were inside its body. The corpse of the critically endangered species was found in a s m a l l h u n t i n g g r o u n d i n Vi l lanueva de la Reina, a municipality in Jaen, and police are taking statements from those associated with the area. The Andalucian Hunting Federation has condemned the act, they said in a statement: “Those who carry out these types of acts are furtive delinquents. “The hunter can only be called a hunter when he respects the law and loves the countryside and nature.” The co-operation of hunters has been sought since the beginning of the Iberlince programme which has aimed to save the world’s most endangered big cat from the brink of extinction. Between 2002 and 2016, 95 lynx deaths were recorded as a result of collisions with vehicles, but 25 deaths have been attributed to hunters.

Flight prices soaring THE average price for flights from the UK to Europe has risen by nearly 25 per cent since mid-September, according to travel search engine Skyscanner. The website confirmed that air fares for last minute trips have been 23 per cent more expensive in the past few weeks since Ryanair began to announce cancellations. Passengers flying to certain destinations in Spain saw even higher increases, as last minute flights to Malaga were up 30 per cent, from around €120 to €150, and flights to Alicante increased by 27 per cent. The demand for flights has also shot up after thousands of Ryanair and Monarch customers had their flights cancelled and had to find alternatives. Skyscanner reported that traffic on its website has risen by 86 per cent in the past few weeks. Ryanair started to cancel thousands of flights across Europe after it botched up their pilot’s annual leave, which has so far affected roughly 700,000 passengers, while around 860,000 Monarch customers had their travel plans thrown into disarray when the firm suddenly went bankrupt on Monday.

Man gored in neck dies at bull run ONE person has died and two others were injured during the annual Fiesta del Toro Revolao bull run in the small village of Va l f e r m o s o d e Ta j u n a , i n t h e Castilla La Mancha region of Spain. T h e 3 3 - y e a r- o l d m a n f r o m Madrid had been taunting the bull, waving a jumper at it, before it charged at him pinning him to the ground. In videos posted on social media other participants can be seen trying to pull the bull from the man by the tail. It is reported the man was gored in the jugular, but died lat-
er despite the best efforts of the emergency services. The man’s wife and children were in the crowd and witnessed the incident according to reports on television. No-one has previously died at the event.
A RECORD-BREAKING €190m (£169m) Euromillions jackpot has gone to a single ticket-holder in Spain. The huge main jackpot had rolled over since the start of September as noone had matched five numbers and two lucky stars in the twice-weekly - Tuesday and Friday - lottery draws. A lucky punter who bought their ticket in Spain had the winning numbers of 01, 09, 15, 19 and 25 and lucky star numbers 01 and 07. The prize fund had reached its maximum limit, and, without any winners, would have remained at £169m for another four draws, before being distributed to those with fewer number matches on a fifth draw.

Coal is out of favour
Christmas could be costly in the UK
AS governments around the world demand a move away from environmentally damaging coal and oil, the larger oil companies in particular are expanding their natural gas resources. Currently, Royal Dutch Shell is managing a huge deposit in Australia and will convert the gas into Liquefied fuel (LNG) which can be transported around the world in tankers. A similar operation in the Southern Hemisphere is being managed by Chevron which is reported to have invested a massive €75 billion into the building of a new platform and other major oil companies are also investing heavily in this growing area of business. Currently a great deal of electricity, particularly in China and India is being produced by burning coal which is recognised as a major pollutant and a generating planting using LNG can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced by 50 per cent and 75 per cent less nitrogen oxide. The large oil companies can see that their reliance on oil to fuel vehicles is coming to an end, with the decision to phase out diesel powered vehicles within a few years and the growth of electric cars with batteries which will stay charged for much longer distances. Countries which had little if any oil may still have natural gas deposits as the deeper the compressed matter is found, the more likely it is to have turned into gas rather than oil. The five countries with largest gas deposits currently known are believed to be in Russia, Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkmenistan although the figures presented by US Energy Information Administration are quite old and do not even include the USA.

LIQUID NATURAL GAS WILL TAKE OVER
QATARI ship transporting LNG.
More and more LNG projects are being presented to governments around the world whilst the search for crude oil is declining and with LNG suitable for urban taxis and other vehicles, distribution is almost as important as new finds. The cost of freezing and moving the liquid gas in bulk is steadily decreasing as companies invest more in this area and even the movement of the gas can be greener as marine diesel is slowly being replaced by engines driven by LNG.
DESPITE FALLS IN THE SPANISH STOCK MARKET
German Bank tips Santander IN a published statement, Deutsche Bank which appears to have recovered from its own financial difficulties has identified Banco Santander as a good investment option. Untainted by the Catalonian problem and only recently considered by the Spanish government and European Central Bank an ideal partner to take over Banco Popular, it seems ready to fend off law suits from disgruntled Banco Popular shareholders who have lost everything. The majority of Spanish bank shares fell following the results of the arguably illegal Catalan Independence Referendum and the German banking group believes that Santander under the firm leadership of Ana Botin is undervalued. It forecasts that 2018 will be a very profitable year for the Cantabrian based bank with profits rising by more than 10 per cent and an increase in the value of dividends paid to shareholders. With a target price of €6.60, it would have to see a strong surge of around 14 per cent as shares have been trading between €5.80 and €5.85 for several

weeks, although it had a short lived drop to €5.60. Ana Botin the fourth generation of her family to head Santander Bank, studied economics at Bryn Mawr College and attended Harvard Business School where she earned an MBA. She then worked for eight years at JP Morgan in the USA and in 1988 she came back to Spain and began working for the Santander Group. In 2002 she
was appointed the executive chairman of the Spanish bank, Banesto, a subsidiary of Santander where she served until 2010 when she became CEO of Santander UK. When her father died in 2014, she was immediately appointed chair of the parent company which continues to be highly successful. So impressed was David Cameron with this Spanish businesswoman that he appointed her in 2014 as one of his advisors in the Business Advisory Group and following this appointment she was then made an honorary Dame Commander of the British Empire (DBE) in December 2015, for services to the British financial services sector. Now with more than 186,000 employees and 14,392 branches spread across most of Europe and much of South America, the bank has also been increasing its business in Asia and the USA and its charismatic and hardworking chair continues to be a driving force behind the bank’s burgeoning strength.
CHRISTMAS is already upon us although Spain is not as quick to jump on the band wagon as UK retailers who are already promoting cards, decorations and gifts. Stores such as Morrisons in Gibraltar are following suit offering plenty of Christmas items alongside an extensive Halloween collection but stores in the UK are worried that this won’t be a bumper celebration as far as they are concerned. British consumers are fearful that the prices of goods will continue to increase due to a weak pound and Brexit fears meaning that they may have to cut back on their spending according to a survey undertaken by Mintel, the world’s largest market intelligence agency with global offices in Europe, the Far East and Asia,
Foundation to quit Cataluña MASKED by the interest caused by the move of industrialists and banks out of Cataluña, a charitable foundation worth almost €22 billion has also left. La Caixa Banking Foundation Group which exists to manage a huge pension fund and administers charitable activities throughout Spain has decided to set up its new headquarters in Palma, Mallorca. Madrid has been the main beneficiary of the move of head offices out of Barcelona although it is unlikely that the banks in particular will move the majority of their staff who will continue to operate from their existing offices, so fears of massive unemployment in Barcelona are unlikely to come true.

IMF worried EWN online Join the conversation on our Facebook page
WHILST the European Union has sided with Spain on the Cataluña situation, the IMF has now warned that the entire Spanish economy could suffer a loss of confidence. Despite the fact that Cataluña is considered the industrial power house of Spain and accounts for 19 per cent of GDP, the American financial ratings agencies have steadily downgraded its rating and it is now considered to be junk (negative) investment status. To some extent the flow of companies out of Barcelona to
the rest of Spain, which is being made as easy as possible by the government, will not necessarily be a disastrous blow, as i n m a n y c a s e s , h e a d o ff i c e s will be set up externally but staff will continue to work out of Cataluña’s capital. Ti m e w i l l t e l l w h e t h e r t h e Spanish economy will be badly affected by the current situation but, unless a settlement of some type is made, there will be continued ongoing problems, especially as not everyone in the province favours independence.
Andalucia’s recordbreaking exports EXPORTS from Andalucia hit an alltime record for the first seven months of 2017 with a total of €18 billion. This is a 20.1 per cent increase over the same months in 2016 and as an added bonus imports were down, leaving the economy in the happy position of having a €1.92 billion trade surplus. The province is the second largest exporter in Spain after Cataluña and is well ahead of the Basque Country in third place. According to the Extenda-Andalucian Agency for Foreign Promotion, the biggest growth in trade has been with China which saw a massive jump to €684 million making it the eighth largest market for
Andalucian produce. France continues to be the market l e a d e r, s p e n d i n g € 2 . 1 b i l l i o n , f o l l o w e d b y G e r m a n y, I t a l y a n d t h e United Kingdom, whilst of the nonEU countries in the top 10, joining China, are the United States and Morocco. Important exports are olive oil and table olives as well as sweet oranges, lemons, wine, ham and tuna, with new markets for gourmet produce in particular being opened. Although agricultural produce m a k e s u p a l a rg e p r o p o r t i o n o f e x ports, the province has also been particularly successful in the sale of minerals and oil as well as electrical goods and metal.

Look before you leap, or send a letter LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT I DON’T often react to mail I receive, particularly those that are not constructive and often downright nasty, but I do feel a couple of last week’s missives merit a certain repudiation from the ol’ boy. Of course, as usual, the wrong end of the stick was firmly seized by at least one of these communications. My point about Facebook removing my posting of the naked white man being kicked and stoned to death by black youths, without intervention on an SA street, was not that it was actually taking place, but the fact that the site seemed to allow the most horrendous acts by terrorist groups to remain, but deemed it necessary to remove and, subsequently, continue to sweep under the carpet, the desperate and totally unacceptable treatment of the white citizens who still live in those African countries. Contrary to one of your letters I do, in fact, know exactly what I am talking about. Not only do I receive weekly updates from friends in Africa, but I have also toured and lived for a while in both SA and Rhodesia/Zimbabwe; experiencing the apartheid and also their so-called liberated eras. Well I remember, during my trip to
JOHANNESBURG: A city of stark contrasts to its own citizens. a then fairly young Zimbabwe, having local black residents furtively sidle up and inform me how much better their lives were under Mr Smith! At least during those far off days these countries prospered. Although the blacks were disgracefully oppressed and reduced to second-class
citizens in their own land, they did at least reap the benefits of the hard work, efforts and expertise of the white settlers i.e. roofs over their heads, food on the table and schools for their children. Both countries have now descended into utter anarchy under the jackboots of the ANC and the
despot Mugabe. Whites are afraid to shop or go into many public places alone. Muggings and robbery are the norm. Abductions, rapes and murders of whites are not even reported. Johannesburg has become the most dangerous city in the world. Those whites who have survived, are forced to live in virtual fortresses, with high walls topped by barbed wire and compounds patrolled by dogs, backed up by armouries of firearms. Farms seized by the authorities, once productive and highly successful, lie barren and unattended, while the ordinary local black citizens, most living in poverty and starvation, look helplessly on as the privileged few indulge themselves in lives of luxury and decadence, far in excess of the white politicians and leaders of yore. And the world looks on and does precisely nothing. I rest my case. Please, if you do feel the need to communicate, either by email or online, can you first make sure you actually understand my point and not merely pluck a couple of lines or phrases out purely to be unpleasant? It really is such an utter waste of precious time and energy. Keep ‘em coming however, I do peruse them all. Hang in there. Keep the faith. Love Leapy columnists@euroweeklynews.com

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW By John Smith THE charming and vivacious actress Lorraine Chase didn’t fly to Spain from Luton Airport but did jokingly say “It’s Nice ‘Ere, Innit.” She was referring to La Cala de Mijas and El Oceano Hotel which she is visiting for the first time to help in a charity auction for the Positively Pink Breast Cancer charity which took place yesterday (Thursday). She was contacted by some very close friends who live locally and asked if she would be prepared to be the guest auctioneer and having just returned home from the 21st Breast Cancer Care Fashion Show in London she was quick to agree. Having suffered from cancer scares herself over the years, Lorraine said that she feels honoured to be asked to take part in such a worthwhile cause and wants to try to ensure that more money is raised this year than last. Whilst we were talking, Mike Miserotti and his wife, owners of Beau Gems in London showed Lorraine the beautiful Diamond and Sapphire ring, valued at €7,000 which they had made especially for John and Lorraine Palmer, who were then donating it to the charity as every year, instead of an anniversary present, they sell ring boxes at €50 each and just one of them will contain that ring. In addition, Beau Gems were donating a gold and diamond pendant valued at €2,200 to the auction and Lorraine made it very clear that this was one item that she intended to obtain as many bids as possible for. During the hour long interview, Lorraine spent most of her time standing up and explained that when she had taken part in the gentle and most enjoyable TV reality documentary Celebrity Carry on Barging, she had suffered a major injury which has left her in constant pain and unable to work for the last year. In that programme, four celebrities, Lorraine, Simon Call o w, D e b b i e M c G e e a n d N i g e l Havers took over two barges and journeyed along a canal stopping at various places and generally having an enjoyable time getting to know each other. Lorraine was partnered with Simon Callow and they were a little like chalk and cheese at first as
Lorraine Chase models the €7,000 ring prior to the auction.
Positively Pink charity welcomes Lorraine Chase as guest auctioneer she feels the couple epitomised the two extremes of show business, he an intellectual lover of Shakespeare who was writing a play during the filming and she a model from Deptford at the age
of 16. Having got to understand the r u n n i n g o f t h e b a rg e , s h e d i d manage to fall in to the canal once and also sailed off, forgetting that she had left him on the
towpath, but she laughs as she describes him first thing in the morning in his blue dressing gown that stopped at his knees, black socks and hair a la Einstein. Her injury occurred when they
FEATURE
were all persuaded to go abseiling and despite assurances that it was safe, she was dropped and suffered a serious injury to her sacroiliac which got worse as the weeks progressed and she ended up for eight weeks on her back and keeps a photograph on her phone of her back where she had multiple injections. She is remarkably cheerful considering that she had to cancel her annual pantomime appearance and had been in discussion with the producers of Strictly Come Dancing about joining the cast but all this has had to go on hold. We discussed her early career and she explained that it was all a bit of a fluke, as a friend of hers was studying photography at college and she had posed for him. They m et i n a caf é i n Peckham which was the haunt of a number of trendy locals and a well-known male model spotted the pictures. He suggested that she contact his agency and a few weeks later she and her mum visited the agency and although she was just 16, she was signed up and the rest is history. She had been working for some time in the industry before being cast in the ground-breaking Campari adverts which became a template for amusing story based advertisements such as the Martini adverts with Joan Collins and Leonard Rossiter and which changed her life. Wo r k h a s b e e n r e g u l a r e v e r since and she is proud of the fact that she has achieved all that she has without any formal training. When auditioning for the lead role in Me and My Girl for example she needed to be able to tap dance, so she learned how to do it and secured the part. She admits that show business can be hard and uncaring as people can be a bit snobby if you haven’t been trained, but she has kept working and has been pretty much a household name for much of her life, although she says that she used to expect someone to tap her on the shoulder and say “Oi what are you doing here? B….r off.” P o s i t i v e l y P i n k o ff e r s f r e e breast cancer tests for women along the coast but desperately needs donations to allow it to continue to fund its work.

Have you travelled before? Mike Senker
In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man LAST week I mentioned Monarch running out of food. Well now they have gone skint and, of course, I had flights booked with them for Christmas. As I paid with a debit card I have probably lost my money, which is bad enough, but, of course, when I have gone to rebook all the other airlines have doubled their price. Yeah, yeah, I know - supply and demand. I flew with Virgin Atlantic to and from the USA and I have to say they are a fantastic company to fly with. The only thing I wondered was why, when fitting out their female cabin crew, do they hear ‘I’m a size 10’ when she’s obviously said ‘I’m a size 14’? They all looked a little uncomfortable to me. I decided to fly into Gibraltar on the way back so I didn’t have to leave Heathrow on my return which meant I could stay in the same terminal and not have the extra expense of going to another airport. I had only two hours from landing from the USA to catch my next flight and I couldn’t check my luggage all the way through to Gib. All was going well until I got to security
and my bag went on the other side of the glass which meant it had to be double checked, which is fine. The problem was there were only two security people. One was dealing with the left hand side queue and one was dealing with the right hand side. The lady in front of me had a back pack, a handbag and a carry-on bag and the officer decided to go through the whole lot which took 40 minutes. Half way through I looked at her and said, ‘Have you actually ever travelled before?’ She had water, three or four bags of cosmetics and gawd knows what else. I was getting very grumpy and asked, ‘Why does this have to be done here? Why isn’t she taken to one side so as to not hold everybody else up? After all, she’s the problem, not us!’ The security officer’s random comment to me was that only last week he had found six bullets in someone’s hand luggage. That, of course, didn’t answer my question at all. There should be three or four officers there. Two to do the general security and two to do the awkward stuff, so it keeps it all flowing. Finally, BA, why, oh why do you make everyone pay for refreshments with credit cards? Everybody having to put pin numbers in for a two quid transaction! It’s a joke! columnists@euroweeklynews.com

LEGALLY SPEAKING Buying a new car - your rights 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.
NEW CARS: Conditions will vary according to the manufacturer. WHEN you purchase a new car from a dealer, you have a certain level of peace of mind accompanying your purchase. New cars are covered by a legal guarantee of two years without a mileage limit, whereas the manufacturer has to take care of the faults and breakdowns that have arisen with the car, so long as they are not caused by misuse, lack of maintenance or wear. Factory defects are also covered by the legal guarantee, but in this case the claim must be made during the first six months from the date of delivery of the vehicle. After that time it is necessary to prove that the defect is actually caused at the manufacture stage and, for that, an expert report must be presented to prove it. The Madrid-based Asociación Madrileña de Distribuidores de Automóviles (AMDA), also wants to advise owners that you also have consumer rights if you have to visit the workshop for these repairs. In the event that the vehicle suffers a fault covered by the warranty, the time spent in the
workshop for repair will not count as part of the warranty period and that time will be added to the original date of termination of the warranty. It is necessary to request a receipt with the date of delivery and return of the vehicle, together with the repair report. The buyer not only has rights when buying a car, but work carried out in authorised mechanic’s workshops are guaranteed, whether it is a maintenance check or a repair. It is however necessary to differentiate between two situations: when it is a repair covered by the legal guarantee, in this case the period of cover is six months; If it is a repair outside the warranty period, the workshop will be responsible for its work for three months or 2,000 kilometres. Many manufacturers offer the option to optionally expand the warranty period. The conditions vary according to the manufacturer, the length of time, mileage, and what is covered. Therefore, the conditions must be read carefully.

WHEN I’m exhausted from thinking deep thoughts, (say, about Kim Jong-un and nuclear war or the Catalan independence issue) which is often, because I am a very deep and thoughtful person, I find myself contemplating the great philosophical questions. Like why do slebs choose such daft names for their kids? Take, for instance, Jamie Oliver. His fifth child, River Rocket Blue Dallas, was born last year. His eldest, Poppy Honey, is now 15. In-between are Daisy Boo, Petal Blossom Rainbow and Buddy Bear. Good grief! But a recent joint Mumsnet/Gransnet survey found
one fifth of grandparents dislike their offsprings’ choice of baby name (with Aurora, Elijah, Finn, Noah and Tabitha among the most hated). Then, we have Serena Williams calling her daughter Alexis Jr - named after the baby’s father. What next with this name-jacking: a boy named after his mother? But, hey, didn’t the late Johnny Cash have a thing or two to say about a boy named Sue? But surely the daftest fashion now is giving a surname as a first name, such as the maternal grandma’s maiden name. So girls are called McKenzie, Kennedy or, even dafter, Smith. Yes, fashion is the killer: remember all the 80’s girls called ‘Crystal’ and boys called ‘Dean’? And what about madeup names? Remember how Wayne Rooney named one of his sons ‘Klay’? Will the next be
VHS vs Betamax - again SINCE ebooks began a decade ago there’s been a ‘VHS vs Betamax’ slugfest of formats. We’re down to two main contenders: Amazon’s proprietary Kindle type, and what was intended to be the universal EPUB format found on most others. Like music and movies, paidfor ebooks have copyright protection, and this ‘DRM’ means they can’t easily be switched between systems or devices. But for the millions of free ebooks online there are simple ways of converting between formats, most notably with the free Calibre program, which can also deliver thousands of the world’s magazines and newspapers free to your e-reader. Still dubious about deserting your beloved print-books? Then consider the internet’s most popular verdict by tech guru Stephen Fry: “Books are no more threatened by Kindles than stairs by elevators.”

Proper e-readers are simple onetrick ponies: they display text, the whole text and nothing but the text. E-reading on a smartphone or tablet is certainly an option, but
wood, may I suggest a national primary school competition to choose the name? After all, the winning entry couldn’t be half as daft as the ones given to the previous lot. Nora Johnson’s psychological crime thrillers ‘The Girl in the Red Dress,’ ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.norajohnson.net) available from Amazon in paperback/eBook (€0.99;£0.99) and iBookstore.

DOES anyone remember when the BBC convinced the nation that it had uncovered spaghetti trees? The report even came complete with footage of a spaghetti tree orchard. Well, if the BBC showed it, it must be true, even though they’re the people who convinced many of us of the existence of talking plant pots in Bill and Ben. Despite that, we still find ourselves glued to programmes that we know can’t be real. There’s a programme called Mountain Men that follows the lives of people who have opted out of society and gone to live in remote mountain areas in the USA. They live miles from anybody and people are amazed they can survive on their own with only a horse, a log cabin, cameramen, a director and at least two sound crew for company. To say nothing of the hospitality truck! Then only recently, viewers expressed concern for a character in Coronation Street who had microwaved something whilst it was still in a metal tray. I think it’s very nice of these people to be worried, but the thing is… it’s pretend. Thankfully, there are still quality programmes to be had. Yes, we may not have the BBC Shakespeare plays to enjoy, but compensation for that comes with our regular helpings of Come Dine With Me. Quality indeed, but I do wonder, on the odd occasions I accidentally see a portion of the programme, whether we wouldn’t rather see that narrator, the one with the most irritating voice on television, cooked on gas mark 5, rather than some of the disastrous concoctions that are attempted by the contestants! I did want to finish with an important and erudite point about being slaves to TV, but Peppa Pig’s just started so I’ve got to go. columnists@euroweeklynews.com Readers interested in submitting articles for this guest column should send articles of around 250 words on topics felt to be of interest to the cosmopolitan EWN readership to editorial@euroweeklynews.com.

Why not curl up with a good screen? Is it bye-bye books as paperback meets pixels? TERENCE KENNEDY suggests that clinging to print confuses the plate with the food.
E-READERS: Forget the nostalgia, consider the convenience. monochrome e-ink is kinder on the eyes than traditional backlit LCD screens, and dedicated e-readers like Kindles, Kobos or Nooks can run for weeks on a battery charge. You can buy a no-nonsense ereader for the price of just two or three ‘dead tree’ books, and unlike
so many of today’s gadgets they’ll last for years; I have an ancient Kindle still going strong without a battery change after six years of reading 496 ebooks (yes, I’m one of those pedantic book-counters and list-keepers. Hey, we all have our crosses to bear).
Sure there are drawbacks. Although some providers like Amazon let you share a book among family members, you can’t easily pass it on - though digital lending libraries are gaining ground. And proper ebook devices (the best type for serious readers) still only display in black and white despite years of coloured e-ink predictions. The convenience is unsurpassed. No more dragging bulky holiday reading around the world to bust your back and the easyJet baggage limit. Instant gratification when you want a book: find it online, click it, own it. No more struggling with fine print for those approaching their sell-by dates: just pump up the font size. And an added bonus: no more disapproving glances from those in public places as we try ineffectually to hide our 50 shades of whatever.

TV Couch Critic THE plot certainly thickens by the week. Liar (ITV1, Mondays) has suddenly turned dark. What started as another ‘did he or didn't he’ rape drama has turned into something far more sinister. The series is staying just the right side of plausible with most of the characters interlinked in some way. Andrew Earlham - an alleged rapist - has gained a universal door key, such is the ease with which he enters the houses of chosen women, who then wake to fears and beliefs of being victims of rape. While the sister of main possible-victim Laura is having an affair with her sibling’s ex, Earlham’s son has Laura as his teacher at school. Earlham also appears to have added the investigating Detective Harmon to his tally of victims, plus a wall of silence surrounds his past life in Edinburgh. Burning questions also surround Ian, who met Laura in a hotel bar and, with so many intertwined plots and lies, I have to say, fantastic acting from both lead characters. And will the dropped earring, later found by Earlham under his bed, turn around to bite Laura? On a lighter note it seems TV’s premier dat-
Burning questions as Liar stays just about plausible
LIAR LEADING ACTORS: Laura and Andrew Earlham. ing show (no, not Naked Attraction) is returning for a 10th series. Take Me Out (ITV1, Saturdays) is planned with two special episodes, one for the over-50’s, the other, Paddy’s favourite 30 contestants returning for one last chance at finding love. The Undateables anyone? The equivalent of a bloke in the old days desperately searching for a last dance at 2am. All those interested still have until tomorrow
(Friday) to register for the over-50’s, so good luck! I wasn’t sure what to expect when watching Cilla (ITV1). First shown in 2014 it’s worth a watch if you missed it first time. Once past the odd, unconvincing scouse accent (take a bow Ringo) it becomes very enjoyable. Sheridan Smith pulls off the lead role superbly, with many local actors, and with a nod to the sectarianism that existed

in 1960’s Liverpool. A heartwarming throwback to the times when - without tablets and mobile phones - young people depended more on live music for entertainment. Imagine going to a job interview and saying “A lot of people call me superwoman,” or “I’m usually the smartest person in any room and I’ll make sure people know that,” and still remaining as a work candidate? Yes, The Apprentice (BBC1, Wednesday) has returned with a new collection of over-confident, but perhaps, future business leaders, though seemingly all with the collective personality only a mother can love. No doubt team names will be something inappropriate like ‘Luminous’ or ‘Prosperity’ as the series gets fully underway. One of the contestants said “I’m going to throw people under the bus. I’m going to throw people over the bus. I’m going to get on the bus, take the wheel and get that investment from Lord Sugar,” pure genius, thanks Jeff! Final word goes to Astronauts (BBC2, Sunday). I wanted Tim Gregory, a 23-year-old PhD student to win, if only because he was a ringer for young Rodney Trotter in the days of Only Fools and Horses fame. I could imagine Trigger uttering the words “What do you know, Dave’s an astronaut.” Never mind. Critique: SC Torrevieja, Costa Blanca

The importance of our local ports Marbella Moments by Nicole King MARBELLA is synonymous with Puerto Banus and has been for years. Unfortunately far too often the things we value most tend to be get taken for granted. Ironically it was the few out of line ‘drunksters’ on the streets of the port that gave cause for us all to take a closer look and pay better attention to one of the world’s most famous, international marinas and realise that it was indeed beginning to feel and look a little neglected. As I understand it El Corte Inglés sells more in its relatively small Puerto Banus store than any other in the country; a simple indication of the economic importance for our city that we maintain Puerto Banus’ image and status. It can’t be easy however to combine the needs and likes of the residents with the economic interests of the stores, restaurants, bars and clubs. One of the first initiatives by our recently returned Mayor Angeles Muñoz has been to address this very matter, meeting with the resident and business associations and implementing measures to ensure that Puerto Banus will continue to be a beacon and hub of international prosperity for many years to come; thanks to the collaboration of all concerned.
KEY LOCAL ROLE: Marbella’s ports. However Marbella has more than one port and Miguel Cardeña has been appointed as councillor for beaches and ports with a clear plan to put all our ports on the tourists’ and locals’ maps, to ensure they all optimise their economic and social potential. The port in Cabopino is already adorable and the fishing port in our city centre has its own certain charm, but our main central port, the Puerto Deportivo, has almost become forgotten below the terraces that host all our traditional and multicultural events and the boardwalk that has opened up our coastline, taking everyone straight past the steps that lead down to so much!
Firstly, being in the very heart of our city you get the most spectacular views of Marbella’s coastline and of Gibraltar and African shores that you really can’t get anywhere else. The port also offers 377 berths and that is certainly a pretty sight to see. The Marbella Marina also houses the Royal Yacht Club, established in 1956 with a members’ lounge and a great restaurant open to the public. There are also other lovely cafés, restaurants and bars and a variety of nautical and subaquatical activities to chose from, including big game fishing! Another plus for this marina is that it’s nestled between two of Marbella’s best beaches, the Playa
del Faro (the Lighthouse beach, just by the lighthouse) and the Playa de la Venus. On Sundays there is also a cute little market, with Spanish vendors selling artisan and handmade items. For those who live in the city centre this is a wonderful place to go, you don’t need a car, or to worry about parking or drinking and driving. However as with Puerto Banus, the town hall has already held talks with the neighbours and local businesses to work out how best to coordinate the port activities with the needs of the neighbours who live in the prime front-line properties, so as to avoid conflict. Again, not an easy task but if we all share the common goal, it can be done.
Advertising feature EXCITEMENT is in the air, you open the door to your holiday home and the minute you drop your bags there’s a sigh of contentment as you’re ready to relax and unwind, or are you? Sometimes this is the moment you realise an unexpected incident has taken place, such as a burst pipe or a break in. When you buy your insurance, as much as you’d prefer not to think about claiming, unfortunately it’s not always avoidable. However Intasure have had a look at some of the most common reasons for a notification of claim and put together these top tips to help reduce the risk of something going wrong, so you can enjoy your holiday without a worry. Escape of water This type of claim could arise if water has escaped into the property as a result of burst pipes, leaky appliances, blocked drains or faulty boilers. As well as damage to the property itself, additional costs may be incurred if you need to replace floors or walls used to gain access to fix the leaky pipe; otherwise known as trace and access. Or your water bills have increased because of the amount of water lost; also known as loss of metered water. Some precautions you can take to help prevent escape of water include: • Turning off or draining all water when you leave the property for a long period of time.
How to reduce the risk of claiming on your property
INTASURE: Making sure your property is properly covered for every eventuality.
• Regular balcony maintenance, if worn away and exposed to the heat it can allow water to penetrate through the property. Theft and attempted theft A lot of people assume the only way to deter a burglar is to buy the most expensive home alarm system but if you’re savvy enough there are lots of other steps you can take to secure your home: • Let your neighbours know - they can keep an eye out for any suspicious activity • Act like someone is home - keep the garden maintained and ask your neighbour to remove any post, as these are big giveaways, and purchase a light timer to switch on at prime hours. • Remove any valuables - or at least remove them from view of the windows and doors, particularly if you plan to be away for a long period of time. Intasure include all of these perils as standard on their holiday home and static caravan policies to give you the protection you require to safeguard your home. In the instance you have to make a claim, you can speak to one of their dedicated UK claims handlers who work with overseas loss adjusters and aim to resolve all claims as quickly and hassle free as possible.* Call +44 345 111 0680 or visit www.inta sure.com to find out more.

AS much as Leapy Lee is up to here with his so called ‘Gender bender bull,’ a lot of people are up to here with reading about his ignorance and I personally feel, as do many others, that he maybe needs a bit of re-educating. After reading an article he wrote a few weeks ago about gays, lesbians and transgenders, I was left in disbelief how someone in this day and age actually still thinks like this. I appreciate that he is from a whole different generation than I am, and although claiming to be ‘liberal minded’ having grown up in the 60’s, I think his attitude shows otherwise. I was assured by the EWN that it is only his personal opinion and not those of the paper, but also 68 per cent of their readers feel the same way. But do they realise the harm that this kind of attitude can do? I think not.
My teenage children have gay friends and think nothing of it I understand that 50 years ago it was taught that being gay or transgender was wrong. But come on, that was 50 years ago. And do you think that this stopped people being gay? Or stopped how they felt? Of course not. Being gay or transgender is not a trend, it’s not something people do because it’s fashionable. People realise from a very young age whom they are attracted to. It’s still a shame that a lot of gay teenagers don’t ‘come out’ because they are afraid of the

reactions of their families, but I ask myself, don’t you know your children? Don’t you have a relationship with them where they can feel they can be just who they want to be without the fear of rejection? I know many people who’s parents can’t accept that their son or daughter is gay, and I find that very sad. My teenage children have friends that are gay and think nothing of it. My point is that finally people are realising it is ‘normal’ and parents of my generation don’t bat an eyelid when their child is gay. That is just how it should be. I am glad that Leapy says he has managed to come to terms with gay people adopting children, having seen some disastrous and tragic outcomes for children living with same sex parents. I would like to have known what those disasters were. Worse than the abuse that unfortunately goes on in so many homes with heterosexual parents?
Because it was taught 50 years ago it doesn’t make it right
Isn’t the idea of ‘Christianity’ to love each other? Then of course comes the topic of transgender. Feeling trapped inside the wrong body. You cannot comment on it really, unless you know how it feels. Maybe just listen, and instead of brushing it aside and saying ‘what a load of gender bender bull’ actually imagine how these children, teenagers and adults feel. They are forced into being someone they are not. The child who had the full support from his parents and school who dressed as a girl, great, it couldn’t be better, until the good ‘Christian’ parents of other children removed their children from that school? What are you teaching your children? To not accept people for who they are? Isn’t the idea of ‘Christianity’ to love each other? And they don’t have a problem with Jesus wearing a dress. If a girl dresses like a boy, she’s a tom boy, nobody seems to have a problem with that, but a boy can’t want to dress as a girl?? I thought what we are meant to be teaching children today is equal rights. Why do girls and boys have different uniforms at school if they are all the same? Being gay or transgender can be a
ugly, so worthless that they cut themselves, burn themselves, starve themselves, hurt themselves, to relieve the pain, sometimes because they think they deserve it. This happens a lot amongst gay and transgender teens and young adults. Didn’t the older generation fight for freedom in the war? It’s what I was taught at school. Surely that means the right to be whomever you chose? I don’t understand why it bothers anyone else what gender somebody wants to be. If a girl feels more like a boy and dresses as such then so what? And if a boy dresses as a girl, so what? Why does anybody else care? Why does it affect my child at school if the boy in the chair next to him decides he wants to be a girl? It doesn’t. It’s not about being genderless, it’s about not being labelled.
become the bullies. The children who ridicule gay teens, who drive them to self-harming, and often suicide.
NO PINK OR BLUE: John Lewis recently introduced gender neutral childrens’ clothing. very hard thing to go through, but only because of the reaction of the people around them. The fear of not being accepted. I have done some research, spoken to a lot of people, wondering if this really is how 68 per cent of people think. I’ve asked their opinions and I have had pretty honest answers. From the people aged 70 and above, they squirm a bit when asked, knowing they shouldn’t be anti-gay but it was drummed into them when they were young. I understand this, but I think that instead of saying ‘You are right, it’s bull’ as Leapy Lee has done, they need to understand that their attitudes can be harmful. They pass on their teachings and they produce children who
I was surprised at the amount of people who self-harm Self-harming is happening a lot, and it was something I never really knew much about. My life as a child and adolescent was happy, quite boring compared to a lot of people I have since met. I had no issues with anything, I had self-confidence, and luckily nothing traumatic had ever happened to me. But I have since met a lot of people who unfortunately have had abuse, or trauma in their lives, and I was surprised at the amount of people who self-harm. For those of you who don’t know what self-harming is, as I am sure there are a lot of people who don’t even know it goes on, it’s when someone is made to feel so low, so unwanted, so
So please, don’t label people, don’t judge them by the narrow-minded views so many of you have had drummed into you as a child. Just because it was taught to you 50 years ago it doesn’t make it right, any more than the teachings of Hitler or Franco were right. So Leapy why not try being a bit compassionate, or look into things before you judge everyone? You obviously have no idea to the harm you can be doing and how hurtful and disrespectful your words can be. So all I ask of everyone is to accept people for who they are, because you have no idea what anyone is going through just trying to be who they really are.
LEAPY LEE: The EWN Weekly columnist with views that frequently stir opinion remains the No 1 favourite with many readers.

Airport moaner driven to distraction I THINK Grumpy Expat from Coin must have been totally confused with his visit to Malaga Airport. Yes it can be difficult to know where you’re going as there are so many signs for different car parks. Since he ‘ended up in the ‘new’ short term car park by accident’ he obviously didn’t know which car park he was looking for. The new space across from arrivals is convenient for collecting people and in fact is quite a good short cut to departures via the lifts and thus avoiding the drop-off car park and the dreaded 16 minutes, one second over and it’s €2.63!!! I have used the new arrivals car park several times over the summer months collecting family and on average paid €1.60 for around 10 minutes. In fact my last visit I waited 25 minutes for my brother and that cost me €3.25! R G Waugh, Fuengirola
HAVE YOUR SAY
It’s illegal
Double trouble REFERENCE your story on page 35 of the Costa Blanca North edition issue 1683: I am livid! Subsidising the day trippers to Granadella is a total abuse by the council of citizens’ IBI payments, and will surely make Costa Nova residents even angrier. I understand from a friend that attended that council meeting that the councillor responsible said it had cost €33,000, far less than the figure you quoted! Manipulation of figures for political means? If it is repeated the council
I REALLY fail to understand all the hand-wringing over the Catalan Independence Referendum. It is against Spanish law and should not therefore be recognised. Time for PM Rajoy to show what he is made of! Chris Perkins, Mijas
Sick as a dog LA GRANADELLA: Free park and ride a disgrace? MUST charge for the service. If the Spanish won’t pay it then there will be less of a problem down there. If the businesses object, then they must pay for the service. On another matter, driving down to the Arenal today there

Cataluña to ‘declare independence’ CATALAN authorities have announced a landslide ‘yes’ vote in Sunday’s illegal referendum. Why is no one talking about the irregularities during this ‘referendum?’ Why were the boxes full of votes before arriving at the polls? How is it possible that a village of 700 people voted 2,000 times.... That was one of the reasons this was declared illegal as it was not regulated. The percentage is also wrong as the Catalonians that didn’t agree with the referendum didn’t vote. Emilia
They had a legal referendum not so long ago and the people voted to stay part of Spain. So if politicians don't get the vote they want they can resort to illegal tactics. I'm not condoning the violence in any way. Barbara Jago
Five dead in multi-vehicle crash Dreadfully sorry for the families of the victims who have died. Vehicles are travelling far too fast and too close with not enough stopping distances! Wendy Nerding
Comments from EWN online Terrible news...RIP to the people who lost their life n hopefully everyone else involved will pull through. Maria Hicklin Terrible news, I was on that motorway yesterday afternoon. Daniel O'Sullivan
End of my rainbow (Leapy Lee) HI kids, This is your trendy Dad telling you how much I love you and how much I enjoyed speaking to you all at my recent appearance at Glastonbury. Ol’ Little Arrows has now flipped completely onto his Bside! Utter tripe from a fantasist who knows nothing about the real Jeremy Corbyn - only the lies and rubbish in the UK gutter press. Just watch Leapy as your favourite party implodes this weekend and sacks the PM - again! Sam B
US man killed in Barcelona’s family to sue THE daughters of a Californian man killed in the terror attack on Las Ramblas, Barcelona have filed a law suit against three social media firms 'for aiding, abetting and knowingly providing support and resources' to a terror group. They probably won’t win but it will definitely raise a huge flag for the creator of social media. If Facebook for example can catch a photograph of a woman breastfeeding and disable the account for content, I am pretty sure they are capable of filtering terrorist sites as well. They may at least step up to the plate a bit more with this warning to be held accountable. Rhea Rouw I think the family know they probably can’t beat big corporate lawyers, but at least they have drawn attention to how weak FB are. They seem to let any criminal and terrorist hoods on to mix with decent people. Gangsters using Facebook to sell stolen goods and counterfeit goods. But its when you open a page and some big terrorist jumps out at you. Robert B Johnston
YOUR piece on the 112 Carlota Galgos dog sanctuary (EWN Costa del Sol issue 1683) really hit the nail on the head with regard to hunting dog cruelty in Spain. Why don’t the government do something about these barbaric practices? Jill Jones, Estepona
Leapy again I DID say in my previous letter that I would not be writing again because of this man’s extreme racist views, but I thought his latest comments on Jeremy Corbyn need to be put into context. There are roughly 200 countries in the world of which only nine have nuclear weapons. No Southern Hemisphere nation has them, and among those that do 95 per cent are in the hands of Trump and Putin. Anyone with any semblance of common sense can see that any of the remaining seven would be annihilated from the face of the earth if they ever dared to use them! Ray Osborne, Los Alcazares
THERE he was again, prattling on about rainbows, Corbyn and Michael Eavis. He enlightened us on our nuclear defence and how Corbyn would rid us of this and stick flowers down the barrels of enemy soldiers. Well Mr Lee, let me remind you of one of the first rules of national security and that’s to protect your leader! The lapse in security at the Tory Party conference was scandalous. When someone handed her a P45, allegedly from the parties’ full time jester Boris!! With all the major security scares of late they let someone within spitting distance, in the middle of a speech, in a party conference. If the P45 had been a gun, knife or hand grenade. Slack!! Philip, San Fulgencio

A positive - Brexit has brought Scotland closer DR JOSEPH GARCIA said that one positive outcome of the Brexit referendum is that it has brought Gibraltar and the Devolved Administrations like Scotland closer together. He was speaking in Glasgow during the conference of the Scottish National Party. In response, Scotland’s External Affairs Minister Fiona Hyslop MSP welcomed the Gibraltar delegation to Glasgow and declared her support for its right to self-determination. Dr Garcia pointed to the Brexit work that was being undertaken by the Gibraltar government with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which has included meetings at the highest political level with the First Ministers of the former two nations. The Deputy Chief Minister detailed the background to the 1967 and 2002 referenda and explained how the 2002 vote had been described as “illegal” and “eccentric” and how it was held in the face of opposition from both the United Kingdom and Spain.

Spanish sausages! T HE Sp an is h love t he i r sausages. Whether they be long and thin or short and thick, the quality of sausages in Spain is very important in Spain. This week we take a look at the top five Spanish sausages. 1. Chorizo Possibly the most famous variety of Spanish sausage, also the most infamous for being pronounced incorrectly (chuhree-zoh). This essential pork sa usage can be chopp e d o r ground, plain or smoked, long or thin. Smoked paprika gives it the distinct flavour and red colour.

Being totally inspired this week, you could be tempted to let enthusiasm run away with you. It is a lovely feeling, like being a child again. Be sure to have fun, but do keep as much money in your pocket as possible.
3. Salchichon A summer favourite, salchichon is made with pork and other varieties of meat including beef, boar, horse and venison. It is seasoned with a host of spices including nutmeg, oregano and garlic and stuffed into intestinal casings. It can be smoked but the traditional method is to air dry it.

There will be a certain amount of discussion regarding holiday plans. You know what you want but how do you persuade others? It's quite easy really. All you have to do is to get someone else to suggest a certain place. You then agree and it looks like their idea.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) You are so sharp that there is a danger you will cut yourself! Seriously, though, try not to appear pompous over a certain matter. You may be right and you may be clever, but smarty pants are rarely popular. Some of that sharpness gets things going for you in the love department, though.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) With everyone busy round you, the chance may be taken to show what you are capable of. Instead of watching someone make a pig's ear of a work project, offer to help. It's important, though, to let them think any bright ideas were theirs. Giving praise now will mean it coming back to you ten-fold. Be aware that a close friend is in a delicate frame of mind.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) A business partnership takes on a romantic tinge this week. It is possible that the other party sees this as more significant than you. To avoid problems later it would be best to let them do all the running. Unless, of course, you are determined to run yourself. With a lot of excitement in the air it is possible for you to show just what fun you can be. Enjoy!
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Your outgoing attitude is spot on. Some may say you are a little crazy, the way you go for things. Each person has their own way and yours can be quite unique but that certainly does not make it wrong. People who make the world around us that little bit more colourful are gems.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Some legal matters need your attention. That's not really what you want at this time of the year. A decision has to be made and it needs a fine balance. Asking others may just confuse matters, so only seek expert advice. At the end of the day, you will know what is both best and acceptable. An attempt to bring romance into your life may be more successful than you think.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) A last-minute invitation turns out to be just the ticket in more ways than one. An invitation to join a holiday may be proffered. This is unusual, certainly, but keep an open mind. Your company is clearly well appreciated so why not make that a point of pride? Let's face it, who is best equipped to blow your trumpet?
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Someone you mistrust offers to add to your celebrations. Why not call a truce? We both know that little long term will come out of it, but who cares? Sometimes, it is better to share one good moment with someone than none at all.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) As you are in the limelight, it comes as no surprise that admiration comes your way. What may surprise you, however, is the direction it comes from. Who would have thought that such a situation would arise?

BIRTHDAYS
NOW a world-renowned pundit, Peter Reid was one of the leading midfielders of his era during the 1980’s, being named PFA Player of the Year in 1985 and credited with being the fourth best footballer in the world. He won a number of honours with Everton, including two league titles, one FA Cup and one European Cup Winners Cup during what was the most successful period in the Toffees’ proud history. Reid has 13 England caps to his name and played at the 1986 World Cup finals where the three lions fell victim to the notso-divine hand of Diego Maradona. As a manager, he has headed clubs in England, India and Thailand. This book tells the unique story of a prolific footballer who got all the way to the top but never forgot his roots, a man who mixed with the powerful but has never been afraid to challenge authority. Told in his typical forthright style, Peter’s book will provide an intriguing insight for any football fan.

Lewis calls for police psychologist Dr Elizabeth Klein to interrogate the seemingly-sole survivor who learns that a séance took place in the house, where the previous owner Marta Livingstone had committed a violent slaughter. The séance went horribly wrong and released evil spirits that killed the three, but two more remain missing. Elizabeth questions John whilst Mark and the technical team try to retrieve the hard disks with camera footage from the house in an effort to find where the other two survivors may be.

LIQUID DIET: Try to set a daily water goal and stick to it. By Kat Ashton WHILE it is easy to remember to reach for a glass of water on a hot day or after a strenuous workout, a lot of people miss the mark when it come to drinking the recommended two litres a day. Our bodies need water to function efficiently as it regulates body temperature, delivers nutrients to our organs and helps to prevent infections by getting rid of toxins. Your body will tell you if you’re dehydrated, but these signs can be easy to miss - especially if you live a hectic lifestyle. Common signs of dehydration include fatigue, thirst,
Fountain of youth dizziness and even confusion. A lot of people also suffer from headaches when they are dehydrated for a prolonged period of time and skin can also start to dry out and become flaky. There are many benefits to drinking lots of water. Research has shown that it can give you more energy, make you stronger and improve your reflexes. It has also been proven to have a significant impact on the brain as it can boost concentration, memory and even your mood. As dehydration can cause headaches and fatigue,
you’re bound to feel better throughout the day if you always have a bottle of water on hand. If you want the kind of glowing, radiant skin you usually see in skin care commercials, the answer might be much simpler, and cheaper than buying a fancy new product. Drinking plenty of water has been shown to help clear up spots and can even make you look younger. As up to 30 per cent of our skin is water, it needs regular tops-ups to keep it looking plump and elastic.

OFTEN, when I say that I can help people’s migraines and severe headaches by assessing and treating their neck their response is, “but my neck doesn’t hurt.” And yet... it’s still involved.

But my neck doesn’t hurt By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com similar way - there can be any number of reasons why th e me s s a g e d o e s n ’t ge t through, but your brain only knows how to interpret it one way. W h a t’s th a t g o t to do with my headache? EVERY nerve in the body travels through the neck even the ones for the face and head. So if you compro-

A proper assessment is critical to ascertain the problem.
If we relieve the pressure on the nerves, in effect, if we fix the phone line from end to end, it is much easier to receive the phone call.
Treating the neck Many people are wary of tre a tme nt be c a us e the y think it might trigger a migra ine . A nd ye t the y s till believe their neck isn’t involved. A prope r a s s e s s me nt is critical - before your practitioner does anything they should know exactly where the problem is. Tr e a t m e n t M U S T b e gentle - absolutely no cracking! If your practitioner knows exactly where the problem is AND is experienced and ge ntle the y s hould ne ve r trigger a migraine.

new exercise goal and you’ll kill two birds with one stone. However, not all workouts were created equal and there are some that are better than others for tackling stress in
particular. Yoga usually tops the list as it combines mind and body exercises which focus specifically on relaxation. Not only does it help you to zone out but also reduces muscular tension and spasms that can build up from stress. If yoga’s not your thing, maybe try tai chi instead. The ancient martial art form is performed through a series of movements which aim to connect mind and body promoting a sense of calm and serenity at the same time. Although peaceful in nature, tai chi is still a great workout as it engages your entire body while helping you to stay in the moment. Kickboxing is also an effective way of getting rid of tension. What better way to shake off the day’s problems than by punching and kicking them out of your system? As the movements are performed with discipline, it promotes staying in control but can also be a rigorous workout at the same time. It also improves flexibility, balance and coordination.

Migraine pain
SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. WHAT causes migraines? A migraine is caused by abnormal brain activity, which can be triggered by many factors. However, the exact chain of events remains unclear. The changes affect bloodflow in the brain and surrounding tissues. Migraines can also be triggered by any of the following: caffeine withdrawal, changes in hormone levels during the menstrual cycle, the use of birth control pills, changes in sleep patterns, alcohol, exercise or other physical stress, loud noises or bright lights, fasting, certain scents and perfumes, smoking or exposure to smoke, stress and anxiety. Certain foods can also trigger migraines. The most common are: chocolate, dairy products, certain cheeses, foods containing tyramine such as red wine, mature cheese, smoked fish, chicken liver, figs, certain beans, fruits (avocado, bananas, citrus fruits ), meats containing nitrates (bacon, hotdogs, salami, cured meats), onions, peanuts and other nuts and seeds and processed, fermented, pickled or marinated foods. Can they be prevented? You can take measures
such as avoiding all circumstances and foods that cause migraines, which substantially reduces the likelihood of an episode. Early identification of the signs that suggest an episode is starting, and taking appropriate measures are the best ways to prevent progression. What can be done to lessen the pain? There is no specific cure for migraine headaches. The goal is to treat the symptoms of migraines immediately and prevent migraines by avoiding or altering things that can trigger them. If an episode persists, despite making efforts to combat it, then you should rest and take painkillers and muscle relaxants. Sometimes you can use certain drugs that can block the episodes in their tracks, which must be prescribed by a doctor. Can they be a sign of a more serious disease or condition? Overall, migraines are usually benign and produce no lasting side effects. However, it is important to consult a medical specialist when the symptoms appear, and to get regular check-ups.

Ask the Optician: How can we help the Deaf-Blind? Nerea Galdos, Store Director from Specsavers Opticas Marbella UNTIL the end of the year, Specsavers are raising money for the Once Foundation for the Deaf-Blind (La Fundación ONCE para la Atención de Personas con Sordoceguera - FOAPS) by offering free comprehensive eye tests and asking patients to donate €1 to FOAPS after their test. To raise awareness of the difficulties that the deaf-blind face, we wanted to dedicate this month’s column to this important topic. Who are FOAPS? FOAPS is a charitable organisation formed in 2007 by leading Spanish charity ONCE to develop programmes to help deaf-blind people. They are particularly interested in helping with education and employment, improving the quality of life and encouraging integration and development. What is Deaf-Blindness? This disability results from the combination of two sensory impairments - visual and hearing, which can manifest in different levels of severity. This causes unique communication problems and special needs caused by the difficulty with interacting with people and the outside world. How can deaf-blind people communicate? This depends on the severity of the sight and hearing loss, many people use sign language if
their vision is good enough. They can also use tactile sign language, where the deaf-blind person puts their hands over the signer’s hands to feel the shape, movement and location of the signs. FOAPS provide interpreters who can help the deaf-blind communicate and interact with the world. What are you fundraising for? The FOAPS interpreters are the eyes, ears and often voice of the deafblind and have a crucial role to play. We hope that through our campaign we can raise enough money to fund an extra 400 hours of an interpreter. This costs €6,000 so we need 6,000 people to come in and have their eyes tested and make a donation before the end of the year. How can I support the campaign? Just come into your nearest Specsavers Opticas store for an eye test and donate €1 between now and the end of December.
Visit www.specsavers.es to find your nearest store and book an eye test.

THE natural cosmetic trend is now branching out into the nail industry. Many nail care brands have brought out products that not only help to keep your fingertips up to date with the latest colour trends, but promote nail health as well. In-demand skincare ingredients, such as argan oil and soy, are becoming more common in nail care products as consumers recognise them for their rich nutritional value and health-promoting benefits. To address the growing concern about the impact of environmental pollution on the body, beauty giant NailsInc has launched a new polish that contains charcoal which helps to protect nails from external toxins. Like many companies in the beauty industry, nail brands are conscious about overusing chemicals in their products, so are turning to diet-inspired ingredients instead. Superfoods such as kale, carrots, turmeric and almonds are all thought to be beneficial for nail health and have been creeping into new

Mintel’s research suggest that there is more of a demand for ‘gentle’ nail polish remover, as many on the market are harsh on nails and strip them of their outer layers. Several brands have launched ‘vegan’ alternatives which are made entirely from natural ingredients and help keep nails strong and healthy. Switching your nail products for health-conscious al-
ternatives could actually make all the difference as an increasing number of studies have also revealed that prolonged periods of exposure to chemical fumes from varnishes and other tonics are linked to health conditions including respiratory problems and migraines. While these side effects are most common among nail salon employees who are exposed to these chemicals every day, it is always better to be safe than sorry.

The Heights at La Resina Golf and Country Club
SPAIN’S first ever Lyme disease clinic has opened in Guadalmansa, midway between Marbella and Estepona and offers a dedicated service to those suffering from this little understood problem. Lyme disease is better understood by vets than it is by medical doctors as it is transferred from animals (often dogs) by ticks which bite humans and it can cause a number of debilitating illnesses. It manifests many symptoms which appear to be a different illness or disease such as Multiple Sclerosis but as it can affect the heart, muscles, bones and brain, it has proven to be very difficult to recognise. With an estimated 65,000 sufferers in Europe, there are currently two clinics in the UK and three in Germany specialising in treating the disease which if caught very early can be nullified with a twoweek course of antibiotics. Whilst there are few clinics and a significant number of sufferers, it is believed that within a few years it will be four times more prevalent than the HIV virus. The Wagner family who have lived in Spain for more than 20 years have opened the Marbella Lyme Disease Clinic and aim to offer a complete range of treatments for sufferers across Spain and in many cases from much of Europe. They are able to call on a number of specialists from China, Colombia, Ger-

Psychologist Kim Wagner and her father Dr Robert Wagner know all about the disease as Kim has suffered from it herself for nine years, most of the time it being misdiagnosed. She almost lost the ability to walk and the will to live but eventually one of her doctors thought to give a relatively simple blood test which revealed her problem. She is now on the road to recovery and was fit enough to complete her master’s degree at UCL in London and wants to give others the chance to get their lives back. The impressive suite of treatment rooms which includes a €50,000 3D screen to allow surgeons to visualise the 2D images supplied by MRI scans was formally opened by Estepona mayor Jose Urbano with a number of medical professionals and potential patients in attendance.

Update on food, drink, entertainments, what’s on and weekly happenings
EXCLUSIVE By John Smith ALTHOUGH he was only due to be in Marbella for a short period of time, actor Timothy Spall spoke to Euro Weekly News about his new film Stanley: A Man of Variety. Sitting quietly with his wife Shane whilst his film was being screened at the Teatro Goya in Puerto Banus as part of the Marbella International Film Festival, he first spoke about their journey to Spain. Having been a novice sailor, the couple filmed themselves as they took their €220,000 52-foot-long seagoing Dutch barge, the Princess Matilda, on a trip around the British Coast and this resulted in three series screened on BBC4 over a period of several years. Having caught the sailing bug, they
decided to be more adventurous and over a period of time in a new boat have sailed around the French and Spanish coast in stages with the intention of arriving at Puerto Banus in time for the screening. It didn’t quite work out and Timothy confided that they had to anchor about 50 kilometres away from Marbella but with a wry smile, said that he couldn’t reveal where the berth was. He waxed lyrical about his new film which he said was a pleasure to be involved with as it allowed him to recreate some of his favourite British comics and character actors and (and actress) including Max Miller, Noel Coward, Tony Hancock and Margaret Rutherford. Whilst he was delighted to have been involved in the movie which he co-wrote with director Stephen Cookson who also attended, Timothy admitted that it was both a challenge and

Pettigrew (who transforms into Scabbers the rat in a number of Harry Potter movies) he didn’t seem totally happy with that suggestion, saying that he had received a great deal of exposure for his work on Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (part of
which was filmed in Spain) and Turner. His performance certainly excited the audience who gave him an ovation when he entered the screening room for a Question and Answer session alongside Stephen Cookson and Festival organiser Mac Chakaveh. During this presentation, he explained how much he enjoyed films like Kind Hearts and Coronets and Eraserhead so he described Stanley as a “typical David Lynch Ealing Comedy” to much amusement from the mainly industry audience. He went on to say that “every character I portrayed in the film combines an element of the individual with something that is a little bizarre.” Clearly the judges were also impressed by his performance in Stanley as he won Best Actor Award before flying back to the UK to attend the London Film Festival where his other new release The Party is being screened.

Advertising feature TO some people it may seem strange for a company to have four restaurants and a gin and cocktail bar in a pretty yet small old town but not Bob and Linda Hackshaw. Originally, the couple had planned to simply purchase a holiday home in Marbella but they stumbled upon Benalmadena Pueblo and that was it - they moved lock, stock and barrel to the town and decided to open their first restaurant La Nina in 2005. This has been the blueprint for their ever-growing business, now operating as Aicorestaurants, where they take over older properties and renovate them to a high standard offering good food at sensible prices. In Benalmadena Pueblo, they own La Fuente (a pretty town house with Mediterranean flavour), La Nina (offering tapas and other Spanish specialities), El Muro (a former Flamenco club) and Azafran (a small Indian restaurant) as well as the Zafiro gin and cocktail
A growing group with five restaurants and two gin bars

bar. Their latest project took them on the road to Mijas Pueblo where they opened Villalinda, a very attractive building with a good size terrace and a Zafiro ‘pop up’ bar for those who just want to enjoy a drink. Other business owners suspected that they would have little success when they opened
Zafiro earlier this year in the Pueblo as it is a long way from a traditional Spanish bar but it has been a complete success, so much so that in the New Year, they are looking to expand the brand with at least two additional Zafiros on the coast. The concept is very clear, offer clients a warm atmosphere and a choice of 120 different
gins as well as 40 tonics sourced from around the world. That is only part of the secret as not everyone wants to drink gin, so employ two knowledgeable and friendly bar staff who can also mix any type of cocktail a customer may want. Add to that a range of craft beers, with the main star being Brewdog, a Scottish brewery which has a huge range of at-
tractively bottled beers of different strength and taste including Elvis Juice a fruit flavoured beer, Punk IPA, Nanny State which is alcohol free, Kingpin Lager and a malty traditional beer. Wine lovers are also catered for in this food and sports free bar which has enjoyed remarkable success attracting both local residents and visitors from
across the coast, many of whom enjoy the fact that every week there is a special promotion on three of the many gins in stock. In the new year, they intend to expand the number of craft beers stocked to over 100 and like the gin, they will undertake research to ensure that they can obtain the best range of quality beers and ales from across the world to join their current list, which apart from the UK sees bottles from India, Holland, Spain and the USA. The Hawkshaws are proud of the people that they have working for them as without care for customers and top quality service, no matter how good the produce, the restaurant or bar would lose the confidence of customers. New Year’s Eve is already sold out at El Muro to regular customers who not only return, but promote the group to friends and family. For details of all of the properties in the group visit www.aicorestaurants.com.

Time to switch your ceiling fan into winter mode RUN your ceiling fans in winter? Oh yes, you should definitely do that. As soon as you turn on your heating. With running your ceiling fan on low speed in clockwise direction (as you look up at it) you can actually save up to 20 per cent on heating costs. And saving is so easy: “On quality fan models, there is generally a small switch on the motor housing of the fan to reverse the direction,” says Simone Scholz of Casa Bruno in Santa Ponsa. In summer, the fan is running counter clockwise. In autumn and winter, ceiling fans should spin clockwise at the lowest speed. This will gently draw the room air up towards the ceiling and force the warm air down and towards the walls avoiding giving you the wind chill effect.” Doing so results in environmental sustainability through saving energy and besides that, you will receive smaller energy bills. Casa Bruno in the industrial estate of Santa Ponsa have been specialised in ceiling fans since 2005. They carry Fanimation, Hunter, Atlas and Modern Fan besides others

Firstly, temperatures have dropped to make working in the garden comfortable all day long. Secondly, seeds and plantlets can be sown and planted for autumn, Christmas and earlyspring edible crops. Thirdly, the earlier night skies remind one how local agriculturalists used to study, prior to home and street lighting and television, the patterns and movement of the moon, planets and stars to determine the best days for sowing, planting, pruning, cutting canes and mating animals. When we check the dates in our annually purchased lunar calendar with those of the older villagers, theirs are uncannily similar. Fourthly, the recent, humid,

You can call the knowledgeable staff for advice in English, German and Spanish about how to install ceiling fans, integrate them into a decorating scheme, and pick the right size for your rooms. The Casa Bruno online shop is a great source not only for ordering but also for some knowledge about ceiling fans. And just remember: if your heating is on let your fan spin - clockwise in winter!

WINTER TIME: Spinning clockwise the fan will draw the room air upwards.
Enjoying the second spring in October garden subtropical jungle conditions stimulated lantanas, bougainvilleas, begnonias and tall salvias into exceptional growth. They now needed urgent trimming to clear pathways before holding a paella party in the garden last Sunday. Fifthly, it’s a great time for entertaining in the garden, as plants are full of their autumn flush of flowers and green foliage is brightly coloured, having had the summer dust washed off by autumn showers or storms. Naturally, having published the Amazon book ‘Your personal guide to making authentic Valencian paellas’ a few years ago, the recent and planned festive days each Sunday are tapas and paella parties, each with 10 or 12 friends of four to seven nationalities. Having, pre-retirement, worked and visited gardens on days off in some 32 countries, I find that mixed groups that talk beyond Brexit great fun. If you have olive trees, they need a strim to tidy them up
and make it easier to get around the trees to harvest a few olives for bottling at the end of the month. The main harvest for oil is in a few weeks’ time. I suspect you have a similar list of October tasks but if you
are not really sure of the full range of seasonal gardening tasks, comprehensive lists are included in each of our quartet of books ‘Your garden in Spain’, ‘Apartment gardening Mediterranean style’, ‘Growing healthy fruit in Spain’ and
‘Growing healthy vegetables in Spain’. Fortunately, if you are new to Spain you found copies in your purchased property or you might find some remaining copies on the websites of Amazon
books or the London Book Depository, the publishers and Spanish distributors having closed down during the economic crisis. Naturally, the later Amazonpublished book ‘How to use less water in your garden’ is readily available. © Dick Handscombe October 2017.

How Neater Heaters lead the way THE last year has seen an upturn in the property market, with many people visiting Spain to renovate their property. Whether they are refurbishing them as a holiday home, rental business venture, or even their new permanent home, it is evident that people can see a brighter future ahead. Tony and Richard at Neater Heater have been a godsend to those who need a solution to enhance their homes either for their own economical but stylish living, or even for those wishing to attract potential tenants. Neater Heaters are designed to set up a more efficient way of heating the home so that, when compared to most other electric heaters, monthly bills can be reduced, which is music to anybody’s ears. The difference between a

it slowly heats up. With Neater Heaters, however, the air is drawn into the heater, where it is in direct contact with a very efficient element causing the air to heat up extremely rapidly. You save time and money as your room is heated within minutes at a lower energy cost. Neater Heaters are designed and built in Norway and Turkey, where these stylish heaters are hailed as the first choice for quality and performance. There are many designs
Guest Columnist THOUSANDS - perhaps even tens of thousands - of expats enjoying life in Spain are here, in part, thanks to savings acquired while working and living in Saudi Arabia. It’s no easy posting for the majority, but working there can help line pockets with savings for those rainy day... or perhaps more accurately... for a later life in the Spanish sun. So the news that finally the desert kingdom is planning to allow women to drive will not have been lost as uninteresting by at least some now living the dream on the costas or in the campos. For me the news jarred memories of a brief spell living life where the ‘official’ tag meant that not only could women not drive but that alcohol was also banned. On both fronts the bans have not always been noted, and you have my word for it. Way back in the mid-70’s I was recruited out of Fleet Street to help establish Jeddah’s first English-language daily newspaper, and this led to one year during which the veil on Arabia was well

hell of it. Then there were the air hostesses who used to fly in (BA, LM, MEA... and the rest!) who before leaving the plane galley and heading for an overnight stay, would pack a couple of oranges from the First Class fruit bowl into their bags. Once settled in their hotel rooms the oranges would provide a vodka orange benefiting from an earlier alcohol injection from opened booze bottles that by aviation law had to be flushed away prior to landing. And one ex-girlfriend of a colleague used to get a flip from boredom in the magic kingdom (where she worked for Saudia the national carrier) by posing topless on an apartment block roof with the Jeddah skyline as a backdrop. And these were not just isolated incidents of the brave... or perhaps stupid... cocking two fingers at the mullahs and local laws. Once I got on to the local party scene, I witnessed more drugs and alcohol (other than beer) than I ever rubbed shoulders with when living in London in the Swinging 60’s and 70’s! And there were other surprises... like the mink bed-spread... but that’s another story for another day!

TEAC HI NG y o u r d o g tric k s is every dog owner’s dream, but you must start with basic obedience. Your dog should know the basic commands (sit, down, heel, stand, and come) before you attempt any type of trick training. Once you have th e se m a st e r e d , y o u c a n build on them with one of these three simple tricks. Begging This trick is best taught by first having your dog sit in a corner of the ro o m wi t h y o u stan d in g in front of him. This allows the corner to support your dog and keep him from
falling over. Using food, hold it above your dog and entice him to reach up and take it. Progress slowly, each time encouraging the dog to rise higher. Make sure your dog keeps his haunches on the ground. Use the treat to encourage the dog to shift his weight back over his haunches - it will help him keep his balance. Once your dog is balancing well in the corner, slowly move your dog outward and attempt the trick. Expect some regression when the dog loses the support of the walls and move slowly until the dog perfects it. Shaking hands Start with your dog in a sitting position. G iv in g th e v erba l c omma nd ‘shake,’ outstretch your right hand until it is a few inches in front of your dog’s right leg. Your outstretched hand is the non-verbal cue for this trick. U s in g y o u r le ft ha nd, ge ntly push or prod her right leg forward
HAVE FUN: Patience and praise bring the best results. until it rests in your right hand. Praise. A fte r pra c tis ing s e ve ra l s e s s ions , s low ly try to re duc e the amount of prompting until only the verbal or non-verbal command is needed.

Find care for pets while you’re away
The purrsuit of happiness By Kat Ashton OWNING a pet can help to improve our emotional and physical well-being and could even improve your health in the long term as well. According to the British Medical Journal, the emotional bond between animal and owner can be as intense as any human relationship and can bring the same psychological benefits. Most pet owners are well aware that owning a pet comes with a lot of responsibilities, but these help to give the day purpose and struc-
HAPPY CHAPPY: Some one-on-one time with your pet can help you unwind after a stressful day. ture. Many people also feel a sense of achievement when their animal is happy and healthy. It has also been suggested that owning a pet reduces the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular illnesses, possibly due to the extra ex-
ercise pet owners usually undertake or the fact that having an animal companion helps to relieve stress. Studies have also shown that animal owners are also less likely to suffer from depression and anxiety, as playing with your pet releases the feel-good hormones dopamine and serotonin. Younger members of the family also flourish more when there’s an animal in the house as children brought up with pets tend to have a more stable immune system and they have also been shown to help improve a child’s social skills.
on the ear, tickling the ear with a feather, or lightly attaching a paper clip to one ear are some things that can work. You do not want to cause the dog pain. Once you have di scover ed a method that will cause your dog to shake his head, decide on a nonverbal and verbal cue you want to use. ‘Head’ along with shrugging the shoulders is a good idea. You do not want to use the word ‘no’ as you are likely to use this word when scolding the dog and this will lead to confusion. Using both cues, stimulate the dog to shake his head. Reward, even if it is only a small movement. Take a m om ent ar y br eak and then try again. Don’t repeat the trick more than five times in one session. Eventually, try signalling the dog with only the verbal or nonverbal cues as well as signalling t he dog f r om a st andi ng and a lying position. Sharing is caring!

Bloodhound blur TWENTY years after setting the world landspeed record, Britain’s Bloodhound SSC is back in business. New footage has been released showing the supersonic, rocket-shaped car firing up its engine. Driver and former RAF pilot, Andy Green, is preparing to steer the Bloodhound to a record-breaking speed of 1,000mph. In 1997 Green captained the car to the current landspeed record of 763mph. The Bloodhound wields a EJ200 Eurofighter jet engine. It will be further boosted by a Nammo rocket cluster which will generate the face-bending speeds guided by an estimated 135,000 hp. Testing is still underway. Last week’s video, filmed in Cornwall, England, shows that the team are still working on their record-breaking goal. The team hope to hit 1,000mph on a track in South Africa next year.

Just ask Alexa AN intelligent personal assistant will be riding along with all new BMW and Mini cars produced from 2018 onwards. Amazon Alexa can use voice interaction to answer questions and follow instructions. Devised by online delivery giant Amazon, it is al-
ready in use in many homes, where people tell Alexa to turn on lights, record television shows and other actions. Drivers will be able to ask Alexa to switch radio stations, check fuel levels, set map routes, check the weather, and countless other functions. Microphones are embedded in the car and the Alexa program will be used through the car’s SIM card facility, meaning people won’t need to use their phones to activate it. Amazon Alexa is already present in some Ford and Nissan models. BMW is the first brand to pledge a total roll out of the technology in all its new cars.

De Gea in safe hands at United - for now? VDAVID DE GEA returns to club football on Saturday October 14 as Manchester United travel to Liverpool in the Premier League - with Spain’s national keeper in safe hands at Old Trafford - for now? “David is really happy at the moment,” said club and country teammate Ander Herrera. Real Madrid have pursued long-term target United stopper de Gea for two years - and speculation rose its head when he sold his £3.85 million house in September. Reds’ goalie de Gea is currently renting a property, leading some pundits to link him to a move to Real Madrid next year. De Gea’s ‘on-off’ moves to Real from Old Trafford have collapsed twice - when the La Liga Champions failed to complete a deal. And Herrera, who moved to
UKSPORTSCENE with Andrew Atkinson United from Athletic Bilbao in 2014, said de Gea, 26, will not move to the Bernabeu any time soon. “We are going to try to keep him at the club - for as long as possible. I can see him staying here for more years,” said midfielder Herrera. United boss Jose Mourinho has ambitions to lead United to the Premier League title this season and Herrera said: “We need to win titles to keep David with us - that’s what we did last season.” In the wake of Real’s unsuccessful attempts to lure de Gea to Spain they have turned their sights to Athletic Bilbao ‘keeper Kepa - a No 1 target for the summer - for free. Zinedine Zidane has been
linked with signing Kepa, 22, on a free transfer next summer. Kepa - who has refused to extend his contract - is in the final year of his contract at Bilbao, and can head for the exit door

Gea will remain, pointing to silverware: “We won three titles last season - that is what he wants,” said Herrera. United won the Community Shield, the EFL Cup and Europa League last season. De Gea said: “I want to be the best keeper in the world.”
Another lesson in football for ex-teacher Roy ROY HODGSON taking the reins at Crystal Palace doesn’t get any easier with The Eagles hosting Premier League Champions Chelsea on Saturday October 14 awaiting a beating: We are the boxer fighting. Hodgson is up for a fight against all odds of keeping The Eagles in the top flight: “We are the boxer - fighting - and we are going to have to take the blows. “It’s going to be a longish and hard process - but I know there’s light at the
end of the tunnel,” said ex-England chief Hodgson. Veteran manager Hodgson, 70, has had more clubs than Tiger Woods - with Palace being his 23rd club in all managerial positions. Hodgson, whose mother was a baker in his home town Croydon, saw his career rise, from that of being manager at Swedish club Halmstad BK in 1976, to that of becoming England national chief in 2012.
Hodgson has returned to Palace - where he was a youth player - before playing non-League football with Tonbridge Angels and Gravesend & Northfleet. Age 23, Hodgson gained his fully qualified coaching badge and joined Maidstone United, as a player and assistantmanager. In 1976 Hodgson was appointed manager at Halmstads BK and was successful in winning the League Championship in 1976 and 1979.

Luke Chambers Sailors can look forward to an hits the Costa unforgettable send-off in Alicante EXCLUSIVE IPSWICH TOWN captain Luke Chambers took advantage of the International break to fly over to Spain in order to be present at the launch of The Heights at La Resina Golf and Country Club. He spared some time to speak to Euro Weekly News about his playing career and ambitions for the future. Having joined the Northampton Town youth team, he was soon drafted into the full team and was made captain, playing more than 100 matches for them as a central defender. From there, he was transferred to Nottingham Forest, where he made 200 appearances and was once
again appointed captain of the team. In 2012, with his contract due to expire, he was approached by a number of teams but chose to sign with Ipswich Town and yet again became captain with a regular place in the team. He has now made over 200 appearances for Ipswich and has switched to play at right back under charismatic manager Mick McCarthy who he considers to be an exceptional manager and a good man to play for. When asked about his current ambitions for the club, Luke told EWN “We have started the season well but consistency is everything and we have certainly set our sights on promotion.” Having recently signed a new two-year deal with the club, the 31-year-old player is a regular visitor to the Costa del Sol with his wife and four children and is involved with the La Sala Group which is well-established in the Puerto Banus area.

ALICANTE stages the Volvo Ocean Race’s Home Port on October 14 - the first official action of the Volvo Ocean Race 2017-18. “The sailors can look forward to an unforgettable send-off from Alicante, our Home Port,” said Race CEO, Mark Turner. It will be the fourth-consecutive year that the Volvo Ocean Race event has started from its home port of Alicante. Spain'’s Olympic gold medallist Xabi Fernández will return to skipper MAPFRE in the 2017-18 race: “The Volvo Ocean Race is an enormously difficult challenge,” said Xabi, 40, who has taken part in the Volvo Ocean Race four times. Xabi, who won Olympic gold in Athens in 2004 and silver in 2008, will take sole charge, said: “I am fortunate to be back on the start line, with a chance to claim victory. It is something we are very proud of.” Teams will sail Leg 1 from Alicante to Lisbon on Sunday, October 22: “They’ll be thrown into a high intensity sprint to Lisbon straight off - making Leg 1 especially exciting,” said CEO Mark. Alicante Race Village will be open during October 11-22 featuring a new ‘pit lane’ experience - including innovative team bases - where the public will have access to interact with crews. The Boatyard facility, where repairs are undertaken, will also be a spectator’s vantage point. The route for 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race covers 45,000 nautical miles around the world. Along with Alicante and Lisbon, the 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race will take in Cape Town, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Auckland, Itajaí, Newport, Cardiff and Gothenburg - the grand finale being in The Hague.
SPORTSCENESPAIN with Andrew Atkinson
“Our Boatyard facility in Lisbon is very well-known to teams who have used it as an Atlantic training base in the lead-up to the start,” said Mark. The Volvo Ocean Race, the longest professional sporting event in the world, sees the Alicante Race Village showcase 65 Volvo Ocean boats. The course takes in 11 landmark cities in five continents - over eight months: “The Volvo Ocean Race itself begins with Leg 1 – a 700-nautical mile sprint to Lisbon, Portugal,” said Mark. After arriving in Lisbon, the boats will take part in the In-Port Race on Saturday, October 28, before the start of Leg 2 on Sunday, November 5. Leg 2 is over 7,000 nautical miles of the Atlantic Ocean, to Cape Town, South Africa, taking three weeks to complete, and marking the 11th occasion in 13 editions the Volvo Ocean Race has visited the City. The Cape Town In-Port Race is on Friday, December 8 ; Leg 3 will begin two days later on Sunday, December 10. “Cape Town also has a special connection with the Race. Our boats have been heading there since the very first edition, back in 1973,” said CEO Mark. “There will be a lot that is very familiar - before the teams head towards the Southern Ocean - such an important focus for the Race,” said Mark. The Volvo Ocean Race made a series of key announcements around significant evolutions of the event, including a change in crew rules, regarding women sailors.
Other changes include a new communicator, allowing the athletes to send social media updates from the Oceans and the building of an eighth Volvo Ocean 65 to join the existing fleet. Bespoke new premium team bases have been introduced to enhance the pit lane experience in the Race Villages, along with the use of M32 catamarans, to increase the amount of guest sailing at each stop-over. All boats will be fitted with a hydropower generator - as part of a €1 million refit - and an evolution of the Onboard Reporter concept, to include potential rotation. British round the world yachtswoman Dee Caffari will be leading mixed team boat ‘Turn the Tide on Plastic’ during the Volvo Ocean Race 2017-18. “I’m absolutely delighted to get the opportunity to sail,” said Caffari, who was part of the all female crew of Team SCA who finished sixth in the 2014–15 Volvo Ocean Race. An experienced round-the-world sailor, Caffari set a landmark record in 2006, becoming the first woman to sail singlehanded - non-stop the wrong way around the world. ‘The Turn the Tide on Plastic’ boat in the Volvo Ocean Race for 2017-18 joins team AkzoNobel (Simeon Tienpont, Netherlands), Dongfeng Race Team (Charles Caudrelier, France), MAPFRE (Xabi Fernández, Spain), Vestas 11th Hour Racing (Charlie Enright, USA) and Team Sun Hung Kai/Scallywag (David Witt, Australia) in the fleet. “We have had eight months of hard work and optimism, in terms of the boat and the performance of the team,” said Xabi Fernández.
