Stray animals ‘to be killed after 10 days’ A Council decision to allow a private company to slaughter abandoned animals has sparked public outcry. It comes after Marbella City Hall invited bidders for a contract to manage abandoned animals, which includes the option to put down those that are not claimed or adopted after 10 days if they are unable to be identified. And the move sent social media into meltdown after animal lovers shared the document in their hundreds. Local animal shelter Triple A - which takes in dogs, cats, ferrets, and Vietnamese potbellied pigs - was quick to condemn the proposal, publishing a statement on its Facebook page which demanded the council to ‘reconsider whether to maintain the tender offer under the

‘Really bad behaviour’ Brit fined for spitting on cabin crew by Staff Reporter A DRUNK British businesswoman who spat on a flight attendant after being refused alcohol during a flight to the Costa del Sol has been fined. Beverley Chapman, 45, must pay £800 (€915) after pleading guilty to behaving in a threatening, abusive, insulting or disorderly manner on the British Airways flight. The director of a multinational building firm claimed in court she was suffering from stress after splitting from her ex-girlfriend who later sued for a share of their €1.5 million home. Ms Chapman, from Chingford in east London, tried to trip up a cabin crew member after spitting her drink over the stewardess when she was refused more alcohol for being too drunk, Crawley Magistrates Court heard.

Prosecutor Melanie Wotton said: “They already thought she was intoxicated when she boarded and she continued ringing the bell and demanding more alcohol. This was refused because she was already so intoxicated. “Ms Chapman was seated in the isle and as cabin crew went up and down she put her leg out to try and trip them up. “The pilot left the cockpit to speak to Ms Chapman and called ahead to Gatwick Airport to report that they needed assistance.” Lawyer Martin O’Rourke, defending, said: “She accepts her behaviour was unacceptable and wishes to apologise to the crew members and the court.” Magistrate Mr. David Whitehead described her behaviour as “really bad.”

Child abuser finally caged A BRITISH man who was living under a false name on the Costa del Sol has been jailed for almost 16 years. It comes after Alan Hollis, 70, was last year held in Malaga after being granted bail and fleeing abroad twice. He was wanted on suspicion of repeatedly abusing a fouryear-old girl on Merseyside during the 1970’s and initially arrested in Leeds in 1996. Having been bailed to appear at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court he escaped but was caught trying to board a flight to Florida in 2007. But having been freed for a second time he fled to Spain using a fake passport. He must now serve 15 years and nine months in prison after being extradited back to the UK.

TOP IN A FLAP: A huge group of white storks arrives at Tarifa in Cadiz and (inset) a short-toed snake eagle makes the crossing. IT is one of Europe’s greatest natural spectacles. And the annual spring migration of millions of birds from their wintering grounds in sub-Saharan Africa across the Strait of Gibraltar to breed in Europe is in full swing. With just 14 kilometres separating the two continents at the Strait, the area serves up ideal conditions for huge numbers of large soaring species from storks to raptors including eagles, kites, and vultures. This is because they are not strong flyers, and rely on thermals - the columns of rising air that form above the land as it warms in the sun - to travel. But thermals do not form over water, meaning the birds have to use the narrowest hop possible, rising as high as possible in Morocco before gliding over to Spain. Spread over several months, peak numbers are observed from March to May, and on a good day it is possible to see literally thousands of birds of prey, storks and smaller birds make the crossing. Although some stay in Spain, many continue on
their epic journeys to northern Europe, Greenland or Russia, having already crossed the Sahara, the world’s largest desert, with some racking up more than 5,000 kilometres. But there is concern that the migration is in danger, with the numbers of birds returning to their breeding grounds plummeting in recent years, with some species in danger of disappearing completely. Threats from hunting to illegal poisoning, power lines, wind farms and draining of wetlands have had a devastating effect on populations, which are thought to have halved to 2.1 billion since the 1950s. Yet it is still a not-to-be-missed extravaganza for nature buffs. There are a number of dedicated migration watchpoints along the coast between Gibraltar and the kite surfing mecca of Tarifa, Cadiz, and the website ç/ is a good source of information should you wish to take your seat for one of the greatest shows on earth.

HE’S the Liverpool legend who saved two penalties in a Champions League final shootout. And Jerzy Dudek, 44, proved he is the master of confusion after showing off his eccentric breakfast choice while holidaying in Spain. The Polish goalkeeper famously employed the ‘spaghetti legs’ tactic used by former Reds ‘keeper Bruce Grobbelaar to distract opposition players during penalties at the end of the 2005 final against AC Milan, which Liverpool won 3-2. And he warmed up for a round of golf in La Manga, Murcia, by tucking into a peculiar combination of baked beans, croissants, salami and half a cherry tomato on a cocktail stick. He even posed with the meal before posting a snap on social media, captioned: ‘What is your breakfast like? Mine today is to give a good result in the field.’

OUR VIEW NGOs must boost employees’ rights THE revelations about charity employees’ wages in Spain are nothing short of a disgrace. Full-time workers for giant non-profit organisations (NGOs) including the Red Cross, the country’s biggest, can earn less than €800 per month gross, while managers bring home €3,500 plus. The third sector rakes in €14 billion annually, representing 1.5 per cent of Spain’s gross domestic product. So why can it not afford to pay its staff a decent wage? NGOs are by definition supposed to balance investments against revenue, but the behaviour of some suggests they are becoming ever more corporate. And in a sector which aims to tug at the heart strings as it appeals for donations, there is an irony in the fact that many of its employees are victims of the same human rights issues they are battling to overturn elsewhere. One anonymous staff member told Spanish media: “One major conflict is that many organisations fight for human rights, including employment rights, and there’s a perverse logic at work in which they compete to bring down costs to win contracts that the government has outsourced to the detriment of salaries.” This smacks of a worryingly institutionalised corporate approach by charity bosses in Spain, and suggests that NGOs may to an extent perpetuate the problems they were set up to solve.

Mega yacht dock on the cards
DROP IN THE OCEAN: American magnate David Geffen’s €250 million superyacht Rising Sun docked in Malaga. PLANS to build a marina for multi-million Euro superyachts in Malaga City are gathering pace. Council officials have revealed that they hope to start the bidding process for building contracts ‘within a month.’
The city hopes to tap into the lucrative Mediterranean superyacht circuit by constructing a state-of-the-art marina for up to 40 vessels measuring a maximum of 100 metres long and 20 wide. Superyachts docking in Malaga currently have to use
the same moorings as visiting cruise ships. Contractors have been warned that the new facilities must not interfere with the existing Melilla ferry or Palmeral marina, where well-to-do holidaymakers moor their cruisers and smaller yachts.
More than fare PRIMERA AIR, a low-cost leisure airline, is launching new flights from Manchester in the UK to Malaga’s Costa del Sol airport. The new winter 2018 flights will operate four times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from October with fares starting from €35 one-way. Primera Air’s Chief Commercial Officer, Anastasija Visnakova, said: “Malaga is our strongest destination and with more than 1,000 flights last year it was also our most demanded destination.
A MANHUNT has been launched after a drug trafficker beat a hasty retreat from a police checkpoint. Having spotted the Guardia Civil vehicles ahead, the driver abandoned his vehicle around 100 metres away on the A- 3 8 3 r o a d i n S an Ro q u e, Cadiz. And when officers approached the car, which had been left with the keys in the ignition, they found 12 packages containing 384 kilos of hashish. Initial enquiries revealed that it was fitted with false licence plates, having been stolen from Mijas last year, as the hunt for the driver continues.
“We see that Malaga is also very popular for UK travellers, so we believe our Manchester route will give British travellers improved flight options.” It will be the first time Primera Air will operate from Manchester airport after the airline launched flights from London Stansted and Birmingham earlier this year. The Latvia and Denmark-based carrier currently serves 97 destinations in 23 countries and the European fleet operates Boeing 737-700 and 737-800 aircraft.

“Mr Rajoy always comes to Marbella as President of the PP. He has never come here as the head of the government,” he said.

Boom time
10m passengers in two months NEWLY-RELEASED Spanish government data has shown that international airline passenger numbers to Spain have soared during the first two months of 2018. Statistics show that 9.98 million international passengers have arrived in the country by plane, a 5.9 per cent increase on the same period last year. Low-cost airline passenger numbers have particularly taken off with 5.21 million
passengers arriving in Spain in January and February - up 12.7 per cent on 2017. The low-cost companies took 52.2 per cent of the market. In contrast, ‘traditional’ airlines carried 4.7 million passengers, down 0.6 per cent. Among the low-cost airlines Ryanair, easyJet and Vueling continue to lead the field and between them carried 67.6 per cent of ‘low cost’ market and
35.6 per cent of the total market. The United Kingdom, with 1.5 million passengers (28.8 per cent of the total), was ahead of the pack despite a drop of 1.1 per cent in arrivals with the low-cost carriers. Germany, with 13.3 per cent of the arrivals, showed an increase of 695,036 passengers (43.2 per cent more) and Italy with 683,997 low-cost flyers sent 13.2 per cent more.

The hippopotamus is considered among the most dangerous animals in the world as it is highly aggressive and unpredictable.

Holiday sickness fury Scammers face £15,000 for fake claim Photo credit; Shutterstock / Social media
A COUPLE from Liverpool has been ordered to pay a holiday company’s costs after submitting a fraudulent sickness claim following a 10day all-inclusive holiday in Spain. Chelsea Devine, 21, and Jamie Melling, 22, were seeking £2,500 compensation each after claiming that the food and drink at their Benidorm hotel on the Costa Blanca left them ill for weeks afterwards. But the judge at Liverpool County Court heard that the pair posted photographs on social media showing them smiling and happy in their hotel room and swimming in the pool. She ordered them to pay holiday operator Tui £15,000 in costs - a record amount for costs awarded against a fraudulent claim of holiday sickness. Holiday operator Tui said, “It’s disappointing we have had to go this far to defend our industry and hotel partners, as well as protect honest holidaymakers. “The court has found they brought claims that are fundamentally dishonest and have been ordered to pay our costs. “This goes to highlight the penalty you can face if you bring an exaggerated or fraudulent holiday sickness claim.” The doctor who backed the couple’s case has been referred to the General Medical Council after it emerged he is married to a partner at the

sickness claims ahead of the 2018 holiday season. They claim figures from a YouGov survey of British adults reveal almost one in five people (19 per cent) have been contacted about mak-
ing a compensation claim for holiday sickness. The most common way people said they were approached was over the phone (14 per cent), followed by text (7 per cent) and email (7 per cent). Some people also reported being contacted on social media (3 per cent) and some were approached in person (2 per cent) including in airports or while on holiday. ABTA’s ‘Stop Sickness Scams’ campaign highlights that false claims are costing the travel industry tens of millions of pounds and ABTA is calling for the urgent closure of a loophole in the law, which enables claims management companies and legal firms to make more money in fees from sickness claims abroad, than they’re able to from personal injuries in the UK. They remind the public that making a false compensation claim for holiday sickness is an act of fraud and if prosecuted could result in a large fine, criminal record or jail term of up to three years. Since 2013, there has been a 500 per cent rise in the number of compensation claims received by travel companies for holiday sickness - yet the number of sickness reports to hotels in resorts has remained the same. The problem is only associated with UK holidaymakers - travel firms in other countries have not experienced an increase.

Balcony death horror Brit uni student killed ‘after St Patrick’s Day party’ THE young British man who fell to his death from a Palma de Mallorca balcony has been named. James Walton, 23, was on a placement year from Sheffield Hallam University and was killed after a St Patrick’s Day party with friends. Doctors say the language student died due to fatal head injuries after plummeting from a fourth floor balcony onto the pavement below. Originally from Ealing in London, he had been in Mallorca since last September to work as a global loyalty intern at Melia Hotels International. The placement was part of his Bachelor’s degree in Languages with International Business, of which he was in his third year. Detectives currently believe he lost his balance after a heavy drinking session with workmates and friends from the UK. A post mortem examination took place yesterday. James’ body was found lying on Calle Aragon in Palma City centre by a pedestrian early on Sunday morning. Medics pronounced him dead at the scene after attempts to revive him failed. His friends reportedly had no idea that

Pension scammer couple sniffed out A WOMAN and her husband have been arrested after allegedly taking more than €90,000 in pension payments to her father who died in 2007. National Police officers in Cadiz, southern Spain, have arrested the married couple, aged 55 and 54, for crimes of misappropriation and falsifying documents.
The pension payments were made into the deceased man’s account to which the daughter had access and withdrew the money. The alleged fraud came to light when the Social Security services contacted the retired worker’s employer, the provincial government of Cadiz, about his status.
A WOMAN who went into labour while on her way to hospital has two quickthinking police officers to thank. The woman and her partner were on their way to hospital in Valencia when they realised they wouldn’t make it.

Mr Manley and Ms Arbouin will b e talk in g to re s id en t s a t both events about any concerns they have around Brexit and will provide an update on the progress of Brexit negotiations and respond to any questions or concerns they may have. Ahead of the events, Ambassador Simon Manley said, “Since the outcome of the referendum we have met groups and individual British citizens from across S p ain to lis te n to th eir c onc e rns about Brexit. Citizens have always been a priority for the British government in the negotiations, as they have been for Spain, and we have made significant progress in protecting their rights, both in the UK
and across the rest of the EU, inc luding through the a gre e me nt reached at the December European Council last year. “We hope to make more progress this week at the March European C ounc il. Tha t s a id, the re a re some important issues still to be resolved, which Brits living in Andalucia may well be keen to discuss, and for our part we will want to talk about how Brits living in Spain can be be s t pre pa re d for our departure from the EU. “ The s e outre a c h events allow us to unders ta nd the c onc e rns of British citizens better, and to ensure that those concerns are understood in both London a nd
Brussels.

Resolving double majority issues Community Law Corner By José Luis Navarro Solicitor for Intercala Administration
joseluis@intercala.com www.intercala.com
with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches
IN every community of owners each property is allocated a quota. This is a percentage or a numerical coefficient that represents each property’s portion of ownership in relationship to the community as a whole. The total of the coefficients must always add up to 100 per cent. The quotas are used to calculate each owner’s proportional payment of the community’s expenses. However when all owners do not have to contribute to a particular expense, the coefficients have to be adjusted. For example, only the owners who use the community car park are responsible for payment of the maintenance. Five of the owners concerned have commercial units and normally
a quota of 10 per cent and a further five with smaller parking spaces have a quota of 5 per cent, this will only come to 75 per cent. In order to share the costs properly, the quotas will need to be adjusted by increasing the quotas for the five commercial units to 12.5 per cent and the smaller parking spaces to 6.25 per cent but the adjustment will not affect their voting coefficients, they remain the same. With regards to voting, for all proposals to be passed what is known as a ‘double majority’ is required. That is, a majority of owners who - according to their quotas - own (collectively) a majority of the property. Every owner only has one vote regardless of the number of properties they own, if it’s more than one, the coefficient value of their vote will correspond to the sum of the quotas for their properties This double majority rule is of great value when many properties, often within a new community, are still for sale and still owned by the devel-
oper. Without the double majority rule the developer could easily act without regard to the interests of the other owners. The so called Law of Horizontal Property prevents this by insisting that the vote must be passed by a ‘double majority’ a majority of owners, owning a majority of the property. However if there is an impasse and this double majority is not reached, then either party can approach the courts and have the court decide whether to pass a proposal based on the vote by; the majority of owners or by the majority of ownership. The court has to be approached within a specific time frame, basically one month from the time of the community meeting and the court having made its decision, will award costs. To be clear, all the votes in a community meeting require a double majority. The Law of Horizontal Property rule 17:7 only allows the courts to intervene when an agreement has not been reached by the major-
ity of owners but has been reached by the majority of ownership or vice-versa, but not when a proposal has been rejected or approved by both a double majority of owners and also majority of ownership. There has to be an impasse. The court’s decision or ‘judgement of equity’ is not necessarily based on any legal ruling and in fact may be based more on a matter of justice or correctness. Many courts will even consider it compulsory for a community to hold another meeting and try to resolve the issue that way and only allowing the matter to be brought to court if still a ‘double majority’ cannot be reached. Until the court decides, the community must continue as it was prior to the proposal at the original community meeting. The court will then also decide who pays the cost involved. As usual, we the solicitors for Intercala Administration advise our readers to seek competent advice in all mater regarding the law.

A SPANISH restaurant chain is unable to trademark its name after European judges ruled it could ‘shock and offend’ people. It comes after Italy launched a complaint after Spanish chain La Mafia, which runs 42 Italian eateries, applied to trademark the name La Mafia Se Sienta a la Mesa (The Mafia take a Seat at the Table). But the European Court of Justice said that the Godfatherstyle branding is not compatible with ‘fundamental EU values.’

€14.8bn fraud windfall THE battle against fraud in Spain continues. And the national Tax Agency has revealed that last year it raked in almost €14.8 billion - a year-on-year decrease of €91 million - in sanctions from cases relating to illegal renting of homes and other financial crimes. The total has plunged for the third consecutive year, after the bureau revealed that it made €14.9 billion in 2016 and €15.7 billion in 2015. Agency director Santiago Menendez argued that the average income from fraud over the last three years beats that of the previous three by 3.5 per cent, as he said: “The results consolidate the upward trend in recent years… it is a trivial drop with no significant reason.” And the figures still far outstrip the €8 billion earned in 2008, when the Tax Agency employed 2,000 more people and the housing bubble having yet to burst - fuelled a significant ‘underground economy.’ Fines for undeclared rental income shot up to €522 million in 2017, an increase of around 40.5 per cent on 2014, when the agency launched an annual campaign of sending inspectors to suspects’ homes. Among 32,215 visits made by tax inspectors last year, 14,698 were related to non-payment of IVA, the Spanish equivalent to VAT in the UK. Menendez added that the use of new technology capable of processing big data has allowed investigators to acquire almost €333 million from cases including “aggressive tax planning, ‘hidden’ companies, buying powers that did not match what was declared and assets abroad.” He explained that thanks to Spain’s tax amnesty (a disclosure facility introduced in 2012), plus revelations exposed in the Panama

‘TRIVIAL’ DROP AS TAX DODGERS TACKLED
RICH TWIST: Spain has clamped down on cheats owing more than €1 million - who allegedly include pop star Shakira says Tax Agency director Santiago Menendez (inset).
Papers and other legal documents, that his agency has new data available. And the result is that tax debt fell by the greatest amount yet recorded in a single financial year. Pending collection, the outstanding amount plummeted by 7.6 per cent compared with 2016, with the total of €42.4 billion the lowest since 2010. The annual inventory of defaulters owing more than €1 million to the state, introduced by Treasury Minister Cristobal Montoro in 2015, also contributed heavily to debt reduction, with €1.2 billion raised from taxpayers “afraid to appear on the list,” according to Menendez.
UNION FURY OVER BELOW AVERAGE PAY THE working conditions of charity workers in Spain are under scrutiny. Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) employ around 645,000 across the country, but both central and regional governments slashed third se c t o r b u d g e t s d u rin g th e 2008 financial crisis. The move saw many of Spain’s 30,000 NGOs freeze or reduce salaries, and conditions have not improved in the 10 years since. “There is a latent instability,” an administrator for several NGOs told Spanish media. “It’s a sector that has been damaged and which requires a certain element of volunteering and a huge dose of personal motivation, which is exploited w h e n i t c o m e s t o u n s tab le contracts and unpaid overtime. “One major conflict is that many organisations fight for human rights, i n c l u d i n g e mp lo y men t rights, and there’s a perverse logic at work in which they compete to bring down costs to win contracts

Charity wage woe goes on
HELP FOR ZEROS: Charity staff are underpaid, critics say. that the government has outsourced to the detriment of salaries.” Around 34 per cent of NGO contracts are temporary, and employment reforms introduced by the Spanish government in 2012 mean that companies and not-for-profits are able to ignore national labour
a gre e me nts a nd bring dow n salaries while maintaining investment. In Teruel, Aragon, a full-time cleaner employed by the Red Cross now earns €765 gross per month in the wake of a 2.5 per cent Janua ry inc re a s e follow ing a long
freeze on wages, while in Alicante part-time telemarketing staff can earn as little as €500. Jose Luis Pascual, Red Cross Spain’s Human Resources director, s a id: “We’ r e not i nvent i ng l ow salaries, it’s a fact. Should that be changed? Possibly.” W hen qui zzed i f €800 per month is enough to live on, he hesitated before admitting: “It would be very hard to cover everything… I don’t agree that we ignore employment rights. In many cases, our salaries are better than others in the sector.” Critics, including unions, have panned Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and the regional authorities after spending on social issues was cut by 23 per cent since 2016 despite the national economic upturn. Pilar Marmol, from the UGT union, added: “Many NGOs don’t behave like NGOs; they’re all about business. And when there’s an [outsourced] tender, they’re like vultures. They go as low as they can.”
Abu Dhabi set to invite bids for Spanish oil and gas giant THE United Arab Emirates is seeking to offload part of Spanish oil and gas multinational CEPSA. It comes after the Mubadala Investment Comp a n y, A b u D h a b i ’s s t a t e owned holding firm, bought out French oil giant Total’s stake in 2011. The move saw the investment vehicle seal 100 per cent control of Spain’s second-largest petrol company, which was at the time valued at around €8 billion. But reports suggest that it is now worth much more, leading Mubadala to invite bids for a partial stake from a ‘strategic ally’ or ‘major investment fund.’ Cepsa has been on an ups w i n g s i n c e t h e t a k e o v e r, breaking new ground in exploration and production, with several ‘mega projects’ in Asia and the Middle East.
Cashing in on crowdfunding A S PA N I S H p r o v i n c i a l council has become the first authority in the world to set up its own crowdfunding platform. The innovative scheme allows residents of Biscay in the Basque Country to invest in start-up projects chosen by the governing body. According to venture capital think tank, Seed Capital Bizkaia, the move will boost investor confidence and reduce risk. The goal is to launch eight start-ups - cherrypicked from around 30 applicants - in the first year of the scheme, with the council hoping to attract some 350 investors after agreeing to plough €240,000 into the project itself.

THE European Parliament has called on the United States to reverse President Trump’s move to impose import duties of up to 20 per cent on Spanish olives. The tariffs were introduced in January to protect producers in California after Washington said that growers in Spain benefit from subsidies allowing them to sell olives below fair value. “The US has started a trade war and they have used us as scapegoats,” said Gabriel Re-

Trade Organisation rules. “The European Parliament calls on the US authorities to withdraw their interim decision and re-establish a mutually constructive approach in this domain to the mutual benefit of producers and consumers on both continents,” they said in a statement. Spain exported 32 million kilos of black olives worth €70 million to the US in 2016, but says the new tariffs will cost the sector €350-700 million over the next decade.
Thumbs down for €4.9 billion Hammerson takeover bid A €4.9 BILLION bid for British shopping centre operator Hammerson sent the comp a n y ’s s h a r e s s o a r i n g b y a l m o s t 2 7 p e r cent. French firm Kleppierre was behind the offer, which is being seen as an attempt to derail its competitor’s €3.9 billion takeover of Intu Properties, which owns or has stakes in 17 shopping centres in the UK and three in Spain. The deal is set to create the UK’s biggest property group, worth an estimated €24 billion. Klepierre said in a statement that it had offered 615p a share, but the bid was rejected by Hammerson chairman David Tyler within 24 hours. Tyler described the approach as “wholly inadequate and entirely
opportunistic,” before advising shareholders to take no action. He said in a statement that the board “sees absolutely no merit in Klépierre’s proposal and has unanimously rejected it.” Klepierre is one of Europe’s biggest players in the retail market, with more than 100 shopping centres in 16 countries. The Hammerson takeover bid highlights the pressure currently gripping the sector, as more customers choose to shop online. Hammerson owns or part-owns 37 shopping centres, including Birmingham’s Bullring, and if the Insu deal goes ahead it will gain control of a €650 million scheme to create one of Spain’s largest shopping complexes in Torremolinos on the Costa del Sol.

You don’t get more classic than that LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
NOT only is Vladimir Putin a gangster, he is actually your classic gangster. I think the facts speak for themselves. He is undoubtedly an egomaniac and a bully. He is surrounded by thugs, hit men and bent politicians. He rubs out or ‘subdues’ any opposition. As a warning to others, those he considers ‘ratfinks’ are ruthlessly hunted down and ‘eliminated.’ Both he and his henchmen are worth billions, and the general public of his domain consider him a hero. You don’t get more classic than that. Of course, that is where the resemblance ends. His operation makes the Capone, Gambino’s and Mafia Dons of yore look like pussies. However, in my opinion, through all this worrying new ‘cold war’ era I believe we can all console ourselves with one fact, Putin won’t attack the West, certainly not nuclear. Why would he? He earns a big chunk of his ill-gotten gains from the West. He’s not involved in all his skulduggery from a view of patriotism, or the old communistic ideals - heaven forbid. He’s in it purely for the power and the money. To take out the UK would be like Al Capone

OTHERS THINK IT
VLADIMIR PUTIN: A ‘gangster’ but unlikely to attack the West. destroying Chicago. He definitely doesn’t want to terminate a golden egg layer of our magnitude. All that aside, I do truly believe that at this moment in time we are nearer to the ultimate holocaust than we have ever been - even during the Cuban missile crisis. At least in those days the USA and the USSR pulled most of the strings. Both of these powers were fairly stable and had
reasonably sane leaders. Now they are all at it, and in my opinion a number are nowhere near stability. North Korea, run by a man/boy who thinks he’s playing video games. Iran, who probably have a few tucked away by now, is run by a fanatical regime, who have vowed to destroy Israel - also a nuclear power. India, in an uneasy and still precarious ‘truce’ with fellow nuclear
power Pakistan. Saudi Arabia, threatening to develop nuclear weapons if Iran doesn’t halt its own programme (some chance), France mmm! The ever-unpredictable China. And, top of the bill, two megalomaniacs in the shape of Trump and Putin, who both think they are infallible. Sounds pretty volatile to me. Oh, I forgot about the good ‘ol UK. Well I wouldn’t worry too much about us. If Corbyn gets elected we’ll all be sheltering behind our CND badges. Perhaps that means they’ll leave the UK alone? Ha ha! Good luck all! As most of you know, I have always believed in free speech. Thank the Lord I write for a publication that, although it may not always agree with my views, also considers free speech a human right! I have always been a firm believer that if it ever came to being prevented from speaking the truth because it may ‘offend’ somebody, would mean we had either succumbed to the yolk of fascism or were finally being run by a bunch of lily livered leaders running totally scared. Well, try speaking out in the UK these days and you can take your pick! columnists@euroweeklynews.com

Hey! Study uncovers yet more useless bits of research! Nora Johnson

ACCORDING to a recent survey, 11 per cent of young adults believe Margaret Thatcher was prime minister during the First World War. If you think that’s bad enough, a 2015 survey suggests that 20 per cent of youngsters believe fish fingers are fingers from actual fish. Problem is, people are always ready to express an opinion, even on subjects they know nothing about. In one survey, 15 per cent of people said they were either for or against the Monetary Control Bill. The Monetary Control
Bill doesn’t exist (Oops! Men are the worst offenders here according to ‘research’). People also lie to pollsters. According to the British Election Study, 11.6 per cent of survey respondents claimed to have taken part in the 2010 general election despite not doing so. This accounts for 5.3 million people. And then there are all these research ‘studies.’ Household cleaning products are as bad for lung function as smoking claims one recent investigation. And was it just yesterday we were told processed foods cause an increase in various sorts of cancer? What doesn’t, it seems? Modern living exposes us to a
range of chemicals that wouldn’t have been present in primitive societies. But life expectancy in times past was much lower than today. On balance, the contemporary world, although it presents new dangers, offers us the prospect of
living well beyond the biblical three score plus 10. Fortunately, no one believes any of these scare stories in any case. We’ve been saturated with so much doom and gloom
(and still are) that you’d think that the world’s coming to an end tomorrow through disease, famine and pestilence. I reckon dogs are far smarter than many of the individuals

involved in any of these surveys or ‘studies.’ For instance, in a vet’s waiting room recently I was surprised to see owners pacing up and down, jingling coins in pockets, listlessly checking out posters and notices while all the dogs present were sitting, waiting calmly and patiently.

All you need is pods Terence Kennedy’s listening life changed forever when he discovered the joy of podcasts.
IF you think silence is golden maybe give this week’s column a miss. It’s inspired by a Canadian lady who fills every unoccupied moment listening to podcasts, a hundred a week. Mea not quite so culpa, I have to confess, and she’s definitely the pod one out (sorry), but my own consumption does certainly max out at three or four a day. My listening life changed radically when keeping my butterfly mind topped up during fallow period s su d d e n l y m ea n t I d id n ’t hav e t o p u t u p wi t h w h ate v er dross wa s o n t h e rad io at th e time, but instead a chosen programme I could actually control as my own DJ. ‘Wo m e n ’s Ho u r ’ d is c u s s in g hysterectomies might have been all well and good mid-morning when there was nothing else on, but podcasts meant I could now lis te n o n d e m a n d to M elv y n Bragg discussing the finer points of three-toed newts or quantity

In th e w es te rn w orld, more people listen to podcasts than go to the movies. An American statistic John Lennon would have loved says there are more regular podcast listeners than Catholics.

I was going to drop in a gag here about my wife fulfilling that role, but on reflection it could cost me my dinner.

Taking pod luck TYPE ‘podcasts’ into your browser and prepare to be swamped. A good place to start is with the traditional broadcasters, who all now package their output into free podcasts for downloading. The BBC is a great source (http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts), with simply hundreds free for the grabbing, all in the ubiquitous MP3 format which any player or phone can handle. Other broadcasters like America’s NPR (www.npr. org/podcasts/), or Australia’s ABC (www.abc.net.au/radio/ podcasts/) have their own treasure-troves. Services like Apple’s iTunes have pages and pages of them. If you ‘subscribe’ they will even be downloaded automatically to your player without human intervention. So all you have to do, as Shakespeare so famously said, is ‘lend me your ears’. Perhaps adding headphones for domestic harmony.

The Golden Man of Malaga Nick Horne The Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England PABLO PICASSO led Sotheby’s London’s Impressionist and Modern Art and Surrealist Art in February and last week the most popular Museum in London the Tate Modern opened Picasso’s Golden Year exhibition which focused on his creations of 1932. A year of two halves the first part dominated by his urgency to meet the deadline of his first major retrospective held in Paris in June 1932 at the Galeries George Petit. The painting that crowned the Sotheby’s sale Pablo Picasso’s ‘Femme au béret et à la robe quadrillée (Marie-Thérèse Walter)’ achieved the second highest price for any work ever sold at auction in Europe - priced at €56.7m - as three bidders competed. This painting was created in 1937, the same year in whose final months saw his master work ‘Guernica,’ which happily may be seen by Spaniard and visitor alike at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, regarded by most as the greatest anti-war statement in art. In a decade of extraordinary significance many see echoes of the trajectory of that decade in the profuse and varied output of an artist who never seemed to stand still. By 1932
PRICEY: Femme au béret et à la robe quadrillée (Marie-Thérèse Walter).
Picasso was an established artist, famous and wealthy. Tailored suits and chauffeur driven car attest to that as well as the Paris apartment and country chateau. At a moment when some entertained the thought that Picasso was at his peak, perhaps even past it, he continued to search and discover. For an impoverished immigrant from Spain who would have blamed him for slowing and enjoying the fruits of his youth? Also 1932 was the year that Picasso is considered to have reinvented himself. Here he can be seen to be exploring surrealist distortion, painting and sculpture. It also saw the start and development of his relationship with his muse Marie-Thérèse Walter, by 1935 his wife Olga Khokhlova had left him for the south of France. The darkening clouds of war marked with the Spanish Civil War which began in 1935 and ended in 1939, with the rest of Europe engulfed in what came to be known as the Second World War months after its conclusion. Picasso was a man of his times. As an artist his times cover much of the 20th century. The triumphs, anxieties and tragedies, the vast scope of his art continues to fascinate and attract. For a determined collector a fascination that very occasionally may be satisfied by an acquisition.

TV COUCH CRITIC

The Durrells, Good Karma and a chateau Photo credit ITV/Channel 4
by Adam Whalley-Lewis THE DURRELLS have returned to ITV on Sunday evenings to bring a touch of Corfu to our weekends. This is the third series of the drama very loosely based around Gerald Durrell’s memoir about his life in 1930’s Corfu and is a perfect tonic if you are fed up with talent(less) shows and movie reruns. I like the soft storylines, the scenery and the fact I could watch it with my Mum and not have to worry about anything nasty flashing across the screen. There are few shows which could simultaneously carry plotlines about giving up on finding love, taking up the harp and juggling multiple girlfriends and still be OK to watch con mi madre - but The Durrells does it really well. The Greek sunshine helps to make you feel just a little bit warmer too. Immediately after The Durrells have gently guided us around their Greek lives, Amanda Redman wizzes us to Southern India with the return of The Good Karma Hospital, ITV Sunday evenings. I’m really not sure about Dr Ruby (Amrita Acharia) on that motorbike you know, the helmet must play havoc with her hair, but fans of the show will be pleased that she is still around to be put in her place by Ms Red-
MANE ATTRACTION: Escape to the Chateau. PERFECT TO WATCH WITH MUM: The Durrells.
man and to continue her strange flirting antics with Dr Varma; I say flirting, I think that is what’s happening, but Dr R can be so grumpy she will surely find herself heading for a night shift at Holby City if she doesn’t crack a smile sometime soon. This isn’t hard hitting, point making medical stuff, but it does what it sets out to do and I like it. Sticking with Sunday night viewing for just a little bit longer, I'm so pleased that Channel 4 are serving up another series of Escape to the Chateau. The Chateau de la Motte Husson is in the Loire and over the previous three series has been restored by Dick and Angel - she is the
brains and he is, well everything else. Dick can fix just about anything and knows how everything works, frankly I could do with him for a couple of days in mi casa, just to pull everything together. Having ‘done up’ the Chateau, the couple are running an obviously successful foodie and wedding business and it’s lovely to watch. You might struggle with Angel’s hair and the fact Dick sometimes looks like an eccentric Englishman being Bohemian in the French countryside, oh wait, that’s exactly what he is! I don’t know what to make of BBC2’s new show The Secret Helpers, BBC2 Wednesdays.
The format links people who need help or advice with random people around the world via secret earpieces. Family and friends aren’t aware of the earpiece advice as their loved ones muddle through their personal challenges. The advice givers include a Catholic nun, a retired NY police officer and someone in Denmark who is neither a nun nor a policeman, they just seems to be Danish. Now, the get-you-towatch element seems to be the people getting advice. Show one helped out Dan who was left blind after two strokes and first time parent Brett who just wants to be a good Dad. You know I will be coming back to this one! Looking ahead, The Voice is slowly drawing to a close with the knockout shows continuing on ITV on Saturday. I have no idea who is going through... Happy viewing.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Cyclists - know the law 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.
PEDAL POWER: The rules of the road still apply.
IT is probably safe to say that all road users have witnessed a bicycle rider going through a red light or riding on the pavement, a practice that many find frustrating, but always one that raises the same question, are cyclists allowed to do such things? The simple answer is NO. In terms of law, once a bicycle is being ridden it is classed as a vehicle and therefore covered by the same rules and laws as a car, a truck, a bus, in fact any other vehicle on the road. It is only when the rider dismounts and walks with the bicycle is it considered otherwise. In this instance, the situation means that the person has become a pedestrian. That is the same reason why cyclists cannot ride across zebra crossings, because we wouldn’t expect a truck to do that, and the rider must dismount before they do. Listening to music using headphones or using a mobile phone when riding a bike are prohibited in the same way as they are for other vehicles. Consuming more than the prescribed limit of alcohol or using drugs is also not al-
lowed, as a cyclist you are governed by the rules of the road. Just so you know what you are risking, let’s have a look at some of the most common infractions. Not having a bell on your bicycle - 80€ Faulty or no brakes - 80€ Carrying an extra person on the bicycle 80€ Failing to stop at a traffic light - 200€ Failing to give way at a junction - 200€ Not having lights - 200€ Having too many lights - 200€ Failing to wear high visibility clothing between sunset and sunrise and in poor visibility 200€ Riding under the influence of alcohol - 500€ There are many other laws and infractions commonly committed by cyclists, as well as other road users of course. We will look at these in more detail in future editions, but for now, take note, you can indeed be fined on your bike and remember that one golden rule, when you are riding your bike, it is a vehicle and governed by the same rules and laws as every other vehicle.

It is not necessary to fly a Spanish flag as well as the flag of your own nation. You are free to put up a flagpole in your front yard and fly the Belgian or Swedish flag by itself. Or

It’s no joke any more not like the old days Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man YOU know what I miss? I miss jokes. Nobody tells jokes anymore. Yeah, there are loads of comedians but they are all, bar one or two, observational comedians. Years ago, when I was out with friends, we would all sit around telling or repeating jokes. The types with a build up then a punch line. In fact, although I’m now very definitely labelled ‘Mr Grumpy,’ I was known for my sense of humour and my party trick was to be able to tell a joke on nearly any subject. My point is it doesn’t happen now. Why? Because everyone has ‘jokes’ on their phones 24/7. There are jokes on Twitter, Facebook etc etc. Nobody is actually telling them they are just there to read. There’s no delivery, no comic genius timing like the great comedians they used to have on the TV. My favourite show was actually called The Comedians and was just a bunch of guys telling joke after joke. Most were so politically incorrect but hilarious and I’d try to remember as many as I could to add to my repertoire. I also get loads of videos and GIFs (not sure what that actually
stands for) on WhatsApp now. I don’t mind the odd one but I’ve got one friend who can send what seems like a 100 a day. Most are not funny and many are just YouTube stuff and when I tell him it’s enough he gets the hump. Hope he reads this! I watched a bit of the winter Olympics and thought the Russians were banned for their vast government run doping scheme that allowed them to win loads of medals by cheating. So I was to see, not their Olympic team, but a bunch of people called ‘Olympic Athletes from Russia.’ What a lot of hogwash! One-hundred-andsixty-eight of them took part and, guess what, two of them failed a drugs test! I don’t get it they were Russian athletes from Russia and no, they didn’t march under their flag. But it’s simple - they were banned for cheating, got slung out, found a loophole, got back in and surprise, surprise, they cheated again! It’s like the asthma drugs and the cyclists. I know three people that have asthma. One can’t walk up a flight of stairs and the other two won the Tour de France. When I took drugs I wouldn’t have even been able to find my bike, never mind ride it! columnists@euroweeklynews.com

Looking for news about Altea wildfowl I WONDER if any of your readers can put me in the picture regarding the swan and duck that are always together in the river mouth by Altea Yacht Club. I often drive by there and it really pleases me to see the pair of them so contented together. The only thing I’ve heard is that they both used to live on the river mouth by the flags in Altea but, after hooligans broke one of the swan’s wings, a local animal charity moved them both to their present location, which is hopefully safer for them. Thanks in anticipation. Roy Gough, Altea

THIS guy certainly has no taste and I’m all shook up! However I’m so pleased that his friends Graham and Robert do have taste along with myself and family and friends. I so look forward to Jane McDonald’s cruising programme as Jane is so vibrant and comes across with so much enthusiasm, the cruises are all so different. We are so lucky to live here in Spain but there’s a big wide world out there to explore so why not be tempted to try something different? I feel sure that so many people will be tempted by this programme, cruising is already very big business and I think Jane will have encouraged a lot more people to try one, going to different countries and seeing different cultures. Before the end of each programme I am trying to guess what song she will be singing, never guessed yet. A shawl that looks like a tablecloth um, I must look for one of those at my Sunday market.

Thankfully there was a sensible judge in this case. Now she needs to throw the book at the doctor and law firm who are involved. Clare Lloyd Fantastic...and so they should. People don’t like to hear this but I remember as a Main Line Holiday Rep in Benidorm, overhearing people discussing on their way to resorts from the airport ways of trying to claim on the insurance!!... and this just makes it more problematic for the genuine claims and of course is part of the reason premiums are so high for everyone... Of course it’s all over the world this horrible claim culture… Stephen Chatt Milne
So Adam; Are you lonesome tonight? No because you’re watching Jane cruising, Can’t help falling in love but perhaps not with Jane’s cruising. Don’t be cruel so what can one say? Perhaps You’re the Devil in disguise! Ann Rosser, Calpe
If they are invisible how is that going to improve safety... just another money making measure. Alex Walker Invisible cameras do nothing to improve safety. Visible warnings improve safety, they cause people to slow down. This is a punishment, pure and simple. What would improve road safety is targeting lorry drivers who drive with disregard for other road users. Robert Mitchell Just don’t speed. Simples! What’s the hurry anyway? Relax and enjoy your holiday. Dean Grande
Starving lions and tiger rescued I’ve now watched the video of these poor injured, starved and very sad lions and a tiger. These circus people are disgusting and should be prosecuted to the highest degree, let’s hope they are. Chris Gregory Thank God they were rescued. Thank you to all who achieved this. Danusia Bourdon This circus used to come to the town where I live. Hateful treatment, so glad they are safe now. Jenny Brodie Thank the Lord for this rescue. Will the circus owners be prosecuted?

I REFER to the waterfall article in Issue 1705. Thought this would be a great visit, so yesterday set off from Quesada. When we arrived there some 2.5 hours later we discovered that the access road was closed. What your article FAILS to mention is that at this time of the year the access road is CLOSED, and we were informed by Spanish locals that it was a 7km walk to the falls and thus another 7km back!!!!! As it was around 4pm we gave it a miss, so will have to return later in the year, do you know when the road is opened? Bill Peters, Quesada Editor’s note We have been unable to find any reference to the access road being closed for part of the year on local tourism websites, and there was no answer when we phoned the tourist office in Cazorla. Most likely is that the road was damaged or flooded and you were extremely unlucky.
Our View Brexit IT is clear which extreme end of the political divide Colin MacGregor sits (Issue 1705). He seems to assume that because he favours Brexit, the majority of expats think likewise. Let me repeat what we all know. What is relevant is that a majority in the UK now favour Remain, because they realise they were fed false, misleading and inadequate information prior to the referendum. It is now irrelevant how they voted in June 2016. This is not a case of ‘whining because we lost.’ The future direction of the UK is at stake. The government should not be too timid or too proud to admit we got it wrong. There is still time for a meaningful referendum. David R Worboys, El Capistrano Village, Nerja

LEO (July 24 - August 23)
The last time that you sat down and thought about your finances it was confusing. Things are a lot simpler now. Keep emotions and the needs of others out of the equation. Balance is what this week is all about. Get the percentages right now and it is plain sailing for the immediate future.
At last it is clear that the future holds something quite exciting. Looking back during the past few years there has been a build-up to this moment. Treading a new path is half the story. There is much to be discovered both outside and inside your sphere.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20)
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)
Something comes to your attention that makes you feel both anger and injustice. As you are urged to speak out and put your cards on the table, you hesitate. Be sure to have the true facts of the matter because this gives you real confidence. Keep emotions out of the equation and speak with a balanced view.
Your heart is saying 'Let’s get out and have some fun'. Your head is saying 'Okay, but let's leave it until later'. Which is right? Well, one thing is for sure, emphasis on finances is restraining. You are, however, building on something strong for the future.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) There is a strong urge to be up and doing something to further your artistic needs. Be sure that you know what is important. Keep it simple and aim straight for it. There may be other options to be explored, but do not go off at a tangent. To do so would see you have many fingers in many pies but making little real progress. Trust your instincts.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Although you are feeling more confident in many ways, there is also a secret insecurity. There is a strange emotional atmosphere this week, which perplexes you. An unusual feeling that you need to change your surroundings cannot be put down to a seasonal 'nesting' instinct. Let this be a time to pay more than lip service to your ideals and beliefs.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Waiting for just the right time to do and say things this week can produce miracles. Spontaneity may be your watchword but forward planning is where real progress is at the moment. It's not a week to expect co-operation from others.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) If you are James Bond, I see no surprises in the week ahead. If you are not, then I certainly do. Something quite shocking crosses your path, so be cautious in your approach to new situations. Keep your eyes and ears open and be prepared to seek advice. Your social life may be dynamic, but what has to be done is irrefutable.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) What others see as our way ahead is not always the path which we want to tread. It would be easy to be cosy and not take a chance. Is that what you really want? Outside influences are heavy and pressing at times.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Be sure not to put up with tedious comments. Someone is trying to rile you. Who are they to think this way? It is foolish and impossible to p l e a s e t h i s p e r s o n . Av o i d them and move on to something out of their sphere.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Who wants you to go where and who wants you to do what? Each day seems to be spoken for before it arrives. Spending your life like this means running out of credit on your health. Do not neglect your well-being for the wishes of others. Give yourself permission to love and care for yourself as you do so much for others.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) There are plenty of people who will tell you that what you seek does not exist. They will also tell you that what you feel is unsustainable. This is, however, no time to compromise your dreams or emotional needs. Taking a bright view and a chance now seems unusual to those round you. Who knows best?

From little acorns do good deeds grow Marbella Moments by Nicole King THANKS to Kara Jaye Caradas of The Boardwalk many of us have become aware of the plight of the orphans in Malaga. If it wasn’t for Kara we would probably all still be ignorant to this fact but now that we know we too can possibly be of help. Fortunately there are facilities for parentless and vulnerable kids but there is the big and worrying issue of what happens to the children once they come of age? Alone in a big city without family can be intimidating and not the best way to start out life. This is why we hope to open our unique Marbella arms to welcome these young teens amongst
us. So many in the international community live here without families that we create our own circle of ‘family friends’ with whom we share our lives and watch over, as if they were our own flesh and blood. We can easily empathise with these youngsters and hopefully step up to the challenge of thinking of ways to help these kids create and establish their own place in our society and fulfil their own dreams. By offering jobs and opportunities to these youngsters they will be getting the chance to learn about the world within our 137 nationalities and the chance to learn languages, but above all feel that they belong. This is just one of the topics being discussed at this year ’s third United Nationalities of Marbella Summit on Tuesday April 24 be-
tween 10am and 2pm. Entrance is free so please join us for this 100 per cent interactive opportunity for our multicultural brains to get together and help resolve the little things that make a big difference. Register now from our website www.marbellanowtv.com and the venue in Marbella will be confirmed shortly. #UNMS2018 - sponsored by the Linea Directa Road Traffic Safety Foundation and Linea Directa car insurance / MarbellaNow TV #BetterTogether #WeAreAsOne @marbellanow

Dairy: the good and the bad WHILE it isn’t wise to give up entire food groups unless you are advised to by your doctor - like when you have an allergy, for example - it is becoming increasingly popular to cut dairy completely out of diets. You may notice several changes to your body if you decide to go dairy-free whether you need to or not - both good and bad. This is because each food group fuels your body with different nutrients that are needed by your body to work properly, including dairy, however the US National Library of Medicine claims that two thirds of the world’s population lack the enzyme needed to digest cow’s milk. This means your digestion may improve and you may feel less bloated if you cut out dairy, however, you

could also feel more bloated at first as your body reacts to the change in your diet. You also might get fewer headaches as cheese contains a natural chemical called tyramine which can cause migraines and headaches. However, dairy also contains vitamin B2 and people with a deficiency of this vitamin can suffer from migraines as a side effect, so make sure you eat lots of spinach, mushrooms and almonds which can contribute to this. You could also miss out on other essential nutrients such as calcium and vitamin D if you go dairy-free so eat lots of fatty fish, as well as plant-based milks, which are normally a good alternative source of the nutrients you need.

Mood food GUT FEELING: Eating bread that’s high in fibre could help boost your mood. GUT health is fast becoming one of the biggest wellness trends of 2018, with new food products, diets and books being cultivated around the concept. Looking after your gut basically means taking care of the ecosystem of funghi, yeasts, bacteria and viruses which live in the intestinal tract. Several reports claim that having a healthy gut helps to reduce chronic inflammation that can cause all manner of diseases, but could also have

a significant impact on our mood. This is because the gut produces many hormones and transmitters that have an impact on the brain, such as serotonin which helps to regulate sleep, social behaviour and mood. Some studies have claimed that the gut produces 95 per cent of the body’s serotonin which is why an imbalanced intestinal tract can have a big impact on our emotions. Conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome has also
been linked to mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression, with several studies showing more than a third of people with IBS also suffer from the disorders, compared to the 7.8 per cent of the general population. Eating food high in fibre can help keep you in high spirits as it feeds the gut bacteria, while ‘probiotic’ foods such as live yoghurt, sauerkraut, kombucha and kimchi will make sure your gut is packed with a wide range of ‘good’ bacteria.
AS we age, it is expected that our cognitive functions will start to decline, and we will become more forgetful, tired and flummoxed by simple tasks. However, it is easier than you may think to keep your brain in good shape and prevent cognitive decline as you get older. First things first, try to get at least eight hours sleep each night as sleeping less has been linked to cognitive decline. Vices such as smoking and alcohol have also been proven to prematurely age the brain and body, so try to cut down on these as much as possible. Go to your doctor to find

POPULAR singer Zoe Louise feels passionate about the fight against cancer since her mother Marion Hughes was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. She has therefore organised the Gigs 4 Wigs event to help cancer patients feel beautiful and Thursday April 5 marks the launch of this new initiative that will raise funds in order to purchase wigs, health and beauty treatments for local people undergoing chemotherapy. Talking about the first event which will take place in the Live Lounge at La Sala Banus, Zoe said “During six months of chemotherapy we spent time at the Costa del Sol Hospital, getting to know both the staff and patients. “On our first visit, I asked one of the nurses where the best place was to buy a wig. She explained to me that they used to hand out a list of rec-
ommended stores, but that there isn’t really anywhere now, just one shop in Malaga! We searched online and soon found that wigs are much more expensive than we ever could have imagined. “Seeing my mum go through such an awful time without being able to help her feel better physically was very difficult. Together we wanted to help others and so came up with the idea of raising money to buy wigs for people in the same situation.” Tickets are priced at just €10 and include a glass of bubbly, canapés and a €10 voucher to be used at La Sala Banus on your next visit. A raffle and auction will also take place on the night. For more information and tickets which must be purchased in advance, please contact La Sala Banus on 952 814 145 or Zoe Louise on 670 069 596.

by John Smith THE ninth Gibraltar International Song Festival’s (GISF) finals will be held in the Gibraltar Tercentenary Sports Hall on Saturday June 2 starting at 8.30pm. The organisers are delighted that Spanish singing sensation Rosario has agreed to be the special guest performer with tickets costing from €35 to €65 for VIP seats.
This two-time Latin Grammy Award Winner is the daughter of the legendary Lola Flores (who has had a street in Puerto Banus named after her) and the sister of both fellow singer Lolita Flores and singersongwriter Antonio Flores. With 12 albums to her name and guest appearances with some of Spain’s most successful artists, the appearance of this popular singer is something of a coup for the organisers and tickets are likely to sell out quickly. Turning to the actual competition which last year was won by Gibraltar-based band Jetstream, entries have been received from songwriters in 24 different countries but the finals will welcome performers and songwriters from Chile, Colombia, Gibraltar, Italy, Mexico, Morocco, Spain and Venezuela.

Announcement of the Finals line-up. One of the important things about the GISF is that reputations count for nothing, since the panel of judges who select the songs that will feature at the Finals Gala on June 2, do so ‘blind.’ In other words, they select songs without prior knowledge of the identity or country of origin of the songwriters.
These details are only revealed to them once the points are added up and the finalist songs are known. This ‘level playing field’ approach means
required standard by the panel. The history of the GISF goes back to 1965 when a young local priest came up with the idea of a Song Festival to be held in Gibraltar to raise funds for a community centre. It started off in a small way with local talent and most years, Joe Carseni backed by local singers and musicians was the winner but with the closure of the border with Spain it petered out Rosario on although he never stage. forgot his excitement Photo Credit: Criben Shutterstock when competing.

For the chosen few BODEGAS VEGA SICILIA is a Spanish winery founded in 1864 by Don Eloy Lecanda y by Lorenzo Chaves and owned Barbareschi since 1982 by the Alvarez family. Don Eloy, a Spanish winemaker, brought several grape varieties back from the Bordeaux region where he trained to his Castile homeland, including Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, all of which are still used today together with Tempranillo and Malbec. In the 20th century, Vega Sicilia - located in the Ribera del Duero DO in northern Spain earned a reputation as one of Spain’s most notable wineries with its top bottles selling for an average of €300. The name Vega Sicilia refers to the Catholic Saint Cecilia with no connection to the island of Sicily. Many of Vega Sicilia’s 250 acres are planted with old vines, some more than 100 years old, resulting in a low yield during harvest. The wines are aged in barrel and bottle for many years and depending on vintage for decades before release. For example, in 1991 the winery released the 1968 and 1982 vintages after 23 and nine years ageing. Vega Si-

GRAEME TYRRELL DESIGNING the plantings in your garden takes a lot more skill than just what looks good on paper. It is a good idea to also know which plants can help and support each other’s characteristics and needs. Many plants provide attributes that can greatly benefit each other. Something as simple as providing shade where a taller, more sun tolerant plant can shelter a softer, sun sensitive one is a way to use plants to benefit each other. Trees are an obvious example of a good means of providing shade for a variety of plants that cannot tolerate the hot Mediterranean sun. In the vegetable garden corn can provide shade for beans, pumpkins, cucumbers, lettuce, Swiss chard, spinach, peas, potatoes and many other shorter heat intolerant plants, including flowers. There are also plants that are incompatible. Tomatoes will not grow well with corn. Sunloving plants or plants that need low nitrogen will not do well in a well prepared nitrogen-rich corn bed. Many culinary herbs fit into this category. Companion planting can be
COMPANION PLANTING: Peas and spring onions.
Companion planting Finding the right friends for your plants very detailed. If you want to find natural ways to improve your garden, it is important to at least understand the basics of it. Pests can be repelled by adding flowers and herbs such as marigolds, thyme, sage, lavender, tansy, mint and many more. Some plants will attract
beneficial insects, such as zinnias which attract ladybirds. Garlic and onions are good pest deterrents but they can stunt the growth of some legumes including beans and peas. There are many guides on companion planting and there is a lot of variation in advice so it
is best to research ideas you like and just try it out to see if recommendations work for your plants in your environment. It can be a help to research plants beneficial to the specific problems you have with your plants and use those. Combining plants known to
Marching into spring SPRING is on the horizon, so now is the perfect time to really start to get stuck into your gardening. With the last of the winter weather (hopefully) out of the way, your garden is sure to really start sprouting in the next few weeks, so make sure you get on top of it before it gets on top of you. Besides, the days will be getting longer, not to mention warmer, so why wouldn’t you want to make the most of it? First things first, start by trimming any unruly hedges or bushes, giving your lawn a mow and removing any weeds. The sooner you get started on this, the less work you’ll have to do later. Now is also the best time to get planting your bulbs if
you want to see your garden in full bloom come summer. At the end of the month, you should make sure to lift and separate your winter perennials in order to get a better display next year. Finally, lay some compost or manure around any bushes or fruit trees and mulch the earth around your plants, using wood chips or bark to help fertilise the soil. You could also use any waste from your pruning to help boost your compost bins. GET STUCK IN: Now’s the perfect time to spring clean your garden.
support each other and ones that are detrimental to each other is also very handy to know. Lavender growing under or around fruit trees susceptible to codling moth will give them some protection. Growing flowers in vegetable gardens is becoming more popular as people learn of the benefits of different flowers to deter damaging pests and to attract beneficial ones. Do not be too concerned that you cannot follow garden plans for companion planting exactly.
Plants may not be crucially affected and some advice is regional. It is just an additional skill for better gardening. You can still get enjoyment from learning for yourself what works well and what does not. It may be more detrimental to plants to be dug up and removed to another place if you find established plants are not where they should be to get the benefit of companion planting. The most important thing is that you can feel good about gardening.

Denning is a natural instinct David THE Dogman
SAFE AND HAPPY: A place of her own.
columnists@ewnmediagroup.com
DOMESTICATION of dogs is a fairly recent event in the history of canines on earth. Although wild canines have been around for millions of years, they have only spent a few thousand of those as our pets. As a result, they still retain some of their ‘wild’ instincts, and one of those is the instinct to ‘den.’ Canines have a definite instinct to hide out in dens. If they do not have one available, they will ‘make their own.’ We frequently see our dogs under desks or the dining room table, if they can fit. When a dog digs a hole in your garden one reason might be the instinct to make a den. What this behaviour is all about is a canine’s natural desire to have a place he can call his own. Many people dislike the idea of
‘caging’ or ‘crating’ their dog, feeling as if it is cruel and somehow hampering his freedom. This is not true. Just go to a friend’s house who has a dog that has been properly crate (or cage) trained. The dog will often seek out this refuge when he is tired, stressed, or just wants to be away from it all. Your friend probably feeds her dog in or near his ‘den’, has provided soft, comfortable bedding for his ‘den’, and has plenty of toys for him to play with or to chew nearby. What dog would not want to stay in a place with so many luxurious amenities?
Many people leave a cage or crate available for their dog so he has his own place to go to. The door is always open and the pet comes and goes as he pleases. To him it is not a cage, but rather an
Walk this way OWNING a dog can work wonders for your health, much more so than most other pets. A new survey by Harringtons pet food discovered that dog owners walk their fourlegged friends more than 1,000 miles on average each year and play 2,080 rounds of fetch. The study, which surveyed 2,000 dog owners, also found that they take their dogs for a walk roughly 10 times a week, and each trip lasted an average of 34 minutes. Therefore, owning a dog is an easy way to reach the recommended goal of 10,000

However, the survey also revealed that couples or families who own dogs fight at least twice a week about whose turn it is to take their pooch for a walk. Nonetheless, owning a dog can also work wonders for your mental health, as exer-
cise in any form releases endorphins, a natural mood booster. It is also a great social activity as dog walkers bump into four other people on average while out with their pet and stop to have a chat on half of these occasions. They also tend to have one break to grab coffee or a drink in a pub along the way.
indoor doghouse that he feels secure in. Other advantages of cages or crates include: - Safety for your dog and house. Having your young or untrained dog in
a cage may protect your house from dog-related destruction while you are away or are unable to watch him. I know of a woman who forgot to put her 10-month-old giant breed puppy in his cage. She came home to papers ripped up and spread all over, and toilet paper strewn throughout the house. A crate can prevent this type of disaster from happening. It can also prevent the young, unsupervised animal from hurting himself by chewing electric cords or becoming ill from something he ate during his escapade. - When travelling with your pet, a crate in your car can protect both your pet and the driver from being disturbed. Whether you choose a plastic crate or a wire cage, you will be doing both you and your pet a favour when you get him his own ‘den.’
Mature pets need understanding care IF you are fortunate enough to have had a pet live with you into old age, you’ll understand what I am about to describe. With every year, every noticeable limp, their comfort becomes more important both to you and to them. They may not be as agile as they once were, and despite obvious enthusiasm and excitement about the prospect of going out with you, perhaps their gait is a little arthritic and the tail wagging somewhat shorter in duration than before. Just like humans the older our pets become they may need prescribed medications and treatments to keep them well and comfortable. This can make a trip away more of a challenge. Do you take them somewhere for the duration of your absence or keep them at home? Often pet owners express a wish to keep mature pets at home. They say it is less stressful if they know their location, familiar smells, and their routines.

Chequered flag SPV returns to Le Mans Cup action by Benjamin Park COSTA DEL SOL-based racing team SPV racing has announced their return to the Michelin Le Mans Cup in 2018. Entering at least one Ligier LMP3, the team is set to field an experienced line up for the Le Mans Cup, consisting of Malaga-based driver Alvaro Fontes alongside Andy Cummings from Birmingham. SPV Racing CEO, Raul Garcia, said: “We are very happy to have Alvaro and Andy as drivers in the Michelin Le Mans Cup. They proved last year that they were very fast with pole position at Red Bull Ring and fifth in the Road to Le Mans qualifying, both are experienced drivers that work very well together and with the team. “For the Road to Le Mans Races at Le Mans Andy Cummings will be joined by Bradley Ellis who is one of the UK’s leading GT and sports car racers crowned British GT Champion in 2007 and runner up in the FIA GT3 Championship 2008.” Ahead of the season start at Circuit Paul Ricard on April 14, SPV Racing began testing on March 6 at the Algarve International Circuit outside Portimao Portugal. The Algarve circuit is known as a demanding circuit with both high and low speed corners, but mostly it is known for the large elevation changes. The Portimao circuit will also host the final round in the Michelin Le Mans Cup on October 27.
ALL SMILES: SPV launching their European Le Mans programme in 2016. Lars GV Lindberg, Team Manager for SPV Racing, also claimed that the team may step up to the LMP2 towards the end of season. He said: “It is great to be back with a strong entry in the Michelin Le Mans Cup. We have a fast car, good team and a strong driver line up. We hope to be able to enter a second LMP 3 car before the season starts and possibly to take the step up to LMP 2 toward the end of the season for one or two races.” The news comes after the Spanish/Swedish team received its Tesla ahead of their involve-
ment in the brand new Electric GT. The Tesla S P100DL will become the world’s first FIA approved Tesla race car which is expected to do 0-100km/h in just 2.1 seconds. It has now been taken to Campos racing in Barcelona where the team will begin racing at the Formula 1 track on April 23, before undertaking a number of media events on April 30. And driver, Alvaro Fontes admits he is looking forward to an ‘interesting season.’ He said: “For me, it will be an interesting season
combining the testing of the Tesla P100DL for the Electric Production Car Series and driving in the Michelin Le Mans Cup. I look forward to working with the team and sharing the wheel with Andy Cummings.”

MOTORING Classic Car Club of Andalucía
www.euroweeklynews.com
Appalling weather doesn’t stop the CCCA! Motoring correspondent Ian Giles reports on the latest news from the Andalucia Classic Car Club, the most successful such society in the area and probably in Spain with over 600 members. T’S not very often that we complain about the weather here in this wonderful part of the world. It’s also very rare that the CCCA would even contemplate cancelling one of its classic car runs due to adverse weather conditions. But it nearly happened because the weather was so bad around the time of the Club’s March event. I only said ‘nearly’! The Club and its membership are made of stronger stuff and, despite heavy rain, the March run organisers, Stuart Sandon and Rob Walker, took the plunge (not quite literally!) and ran the event regardless. Almost 40 people turned up at Venta Los Morenos, just outside Alhaurin el Grande, on a rather wild Saturday morning and thoroughly enjoyed what would have been a beautiful route - if they could have seen it properly! Understandably, a lot of members cried off but those that came along really enjoyed the entire day and the sheer challenge of it all. Organisers Stuart and Rob, ably assisted by their stalwart wives Linda and Margarita, even managed to serve Cava and canapés at the refreshment halt on the way around. A bit like wet Martini deliveries with all the members sitting in their cars, rolling down the windows to receive their red-cross parcels! Sadly, all that was missing

was the Martini girl on her roller skates! After a most enjoyable drive the event arrived at Simbads restaurant near Las Chapas where a warm greeting and cold drinks awaited our hardy members. It must also be said that Simbads provided a first class lunch for a very reasonable price and included live music too. All members appreciated the service and quality of food that the restaurant was able to offer and soon the heavy rain was but a distant memory! Several new members turned out for the run including one brave lady who came for her very first outing without a navigator and driving a very rapid Audi R8. She thoroughly enjoyed it all and tells me that she is really looking forward to the next one in early April! The next Club dinner is on Tuesday April 3 at El Chaparral, and the next classic car run is on Saturday April 7. After that the six-day Tour D’Algarve gets under way, starting from San Pedro and finishing at the Molino del Santo in Benaojan near Ronda. At this moment, in addition to the CCCA Club events, I am working on a fabulous six-day tour from London to Monaco. Timed to arrive in the Principality in time for the Historic F1 race and festival of historic racing, the
event will visit many famous places in France where the emphasis will be on fabulous hotels and fine, French food and wines. And, of course, spectacular routes and driving! The event will start from the iconic Brooklands circuit in Surrey in early May before crossing the channel and heading for the Alps, taking in The Route of Napoleon to Nice to finish in Monaco itself. The Historic weekend is an amazing festival of motor sport itself and well worth going to. The

The CCCA has several members competing in this prestigious race and quite a number of members will be going along to support them. I have spent the last couple of weeks in the UK, France and Monaco preparing the route, which I am well pleased with. I hadn’t, however, prepared myself for the atrocious weather conditions I was to meet in the Alps and around the lake near Geneva, Lausanne and Evian. Snow and ice which even caught out the locals, roads that were impassable, accidents galore and a time loss for me of two and a half days when we had to ‘hole-up’ in Geneva while the weather improved. One good thing came out of it though, we found an excellent Span-
ish restaurant within careful walking distance of our hotel which we visited on two consecutive nights! Sadly, that meant I missed my flight to Barcelona for the F1 test sessions there which I wanted to report on for this publication. By all accounts it looks like the leaders of the pack will be Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull so no great change there. Roll on the first GP in Australia in a week or so and we’ll see which teams have made progress! That’s it from me until the next time. FULL OF STYLE: An oldie but still a goodie.

SPAIN face a tough double header in their penultimate round of friendly fixtures ahead of this summer’s World Cup in Russia. La Roja will head to current world champions Germany on Saturday, before hosting the Germans’ final opponents in 2014, Argentina, at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid on Tuesday. Spain go into the matches in good spirits having not lost a match since the 2016 European Championships, but will be without front man Alvaro Morata after the Chelsea striker was left out by Julen Lopetegui. The 25-year-old, who has struggled since his €85.7 million (£75 million) move from Real Madrid, got his first goal of 2018 in the 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final win over
Leicester on Sunday but has been replaced by rejuvenated former Chelsea man Diego Costa. There were also first time call-ups for Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso, Valencia playmaker Dani Parejo and Villarreal’s Rodri. Speaking to English media, Lopetegui was adamant that his final selection for the World Cup was far from made, but was full of praise for the newcomers in his side. He said: “There are players who are not on the list whose chances of going to the World Cup are intact. “We’ve now got two exciting matches against two great sides and after that everyone will have their chances. The fact players haven’t been called is down to various things; form, injuries and also to see new players better.”
By Benjamin Park SPAIN missed out on automatic qualification to next year’s Rugby World Cup in dubious circumstances as they were beaten 18-10 in Brussels amidst ugly scenes at the final whistle. Los Leones looked on course to qualify for just their second ever World Cup and their first since 1999 ahead of the match, needing just a win over bottom side Belgium in their final qualifying match to leapfrog Romania into top spot. But Spain were undone as Belgian fly-half Vincent Hart kicked six penalties, scoring all of his sides points in the process, in a game controversially overseen by Romanian referee Vlad Iordachescu and two Romanian assistants. Tempers flared after the final whistle with several of the Spanish players confronting the referee, while others sarcastically applauded the official’s performance as he had to be escorted from the field by security. The result means that Romania qualified for the 2019 Rugby World Cup and extended their record of competing at every World Cup since its inception in 1987, while Spain must now beat Portugal in a playoff; before the winner faces a two-legged tie against Samoa to secure a place in Japan. Captain, Jamie Navara, was quick to apologise for his side’s actions after the final whistle but remained critical of the referee and his assistants. He told Radio Marca: “I’m the captain and I would like to apologise for what happened with the referee. “The image at the end of the game does not represent the sport nor the values of this team. It must be understood however, we’ve lost part
“We felt it was the right time for them to come in and take a look at them. “We like (Rodri) a lot. He’s very young but he’s ready. We’ve liked watching him a lot, the reports from his club and the under-21’s are excellent and we thought it was a good time to see him closer.” Elsewhere, England will hope to secure two victories in their penultimate double header. England boss Southgate’s side will be without key man Harry Kane after he was ruled out until April, as they head to the Netherlands on Saturday ahead of hosting Italy at Wembley on Tuesday. Southgate has handed a place in the squad to three uncapped players ahead of the fixtures, all looking to state their claim for a place on the plane to the World Cup. Burnley duo Nick Pope and
FRIENDLIES: Germany ran out 1-0 winners the last time they faced Spain in 2014. James Tarkowski receive their first call-ups on the back of the club’s good form this season, alongside Swansea centre-back Alfie Mawson. Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook has been called up for the second time after he was originally called up for the 0-0 draw with Brazil in November. There are also recalls for Arsenal pair Jack Wilshere and Danny Welbeck, while West Brom’s Jake Livermore also retains his place in spite of his club side’s poor form this season.

tential outcome of the fixture. The appointment was made by Rugby Europe, whose president is former Romanian player Octavian Morariu, as opposed to the governing body World Rugby. The FER have since made a formal claim to both Rugby Europe and World Rugby for the game to be replayed, while Rugby Europe themselves have also released a statement regarding the match. It reads: “Rugby Europe has always operated the highest standards of match official selection whatever the competitions. Our structures have provided a pathway for some of the world’s top officials. “While we appreciate that this is a subject of high-emotion, it would be inappropriate to comment on a match official performance before the usual full review has been undertaken. “This is a usual procedure and occurs for every match. “(The) Rugby Europe selection committee is waiting for the assessment report of the supervisor for Belgium v Spain match officials. This committee will meet in Poznan next Friday on the occasion of the Rugby Europe U18 Championships. “Its agenda will be modified and a large portion of the meeting will be devoted to the analysis of every stage of the Belgium v Spain game. “Following this meeting, a statement will be released to Rugby Europe Board of Directors for dissemination.” And it has now been confirmed that World Rugby will investigate the circumstances, with the governing body stating that it will look at the ‘context of events’ around the result.

THE first ever ATP Casino Admiral Trophy will be hosted at Marbella’s Puente Romano Tennis Club from Saturday until March 31. The trophy, which is included in the ATP Challenger Tour circuit, will coincide with the start of the clay court season and will act as preparation for players ahead of the French Open at Roland Garros. And it has now been announced that several high profile players will take part in the inaugural trophy. Dustin Brown, who famously defeated Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon in 2015, will take part alongside five-time ATP doubles title winner Simone Bolelli, former world number eight Jurgen Melzer and 17-year-old Felix Auger-Aliassime, the first player born in the 21st century to win an ATP match, among many others.
