COSTA BLANCA NORTH
YOUR PAPER, YOUR VOICE, YOUR OPINION
KILLER Paul Durant, given the moniker the ‘Costa Cannibal’ by the press, was arrested in 2004 for killing his girlfriend, Karen Durrell. The police raided the apartment they shared in Calpe and found a knife, a saw, and blood in the bath tub but no signs of a body. Upon his arrest, Durant told police that he beaten her with a mallet, and said: “After I killed
her, I cut her body into small parts, eating what parts of her I found edible.” He has since retracted the claims that he cannibalised her remains. It has now been reported that Durrant has been freed from prison in the UK where he was transferred in 2010 to finish his 12- year sentence. He is reported to be living in a flat in London.

‘Costa Cannibal’ freed
Mum killed by her own car A WOMAN died after being run over by her own car in Castalla, Alicante after she got out of the vehicle and it rolled backwards over her. The 38-year-old mother of two was with both her children when she was fatally injured. They were in the car at the time along with a young boy and a baby. The police reported that the woman had put the handbrake on, but for whatever reason it became unhitched and the car began rolling whilst she was behind it. Paramedics arrived at the scene shortly after the accident was reported but they were unable to save her life as she had apparently died at the scene.
FREED: Paul Durrant, the ‘Costa Cannibal,’ has been freed from prison and is living in London.

Blasting them with noise SOUND therapy may help cure a plague affecting almond trees in Jalon. The regional government has received its 10th update regarding the Xylella Fastidiosa bacterium affecting local almond trees. This coincided with an Alicante University team’s announcement that it is investigating radiofrequencies and ultrasound to eradicate the plagues - including Xylella Fastidiosa - which affect crops. The insect-spread bacterium, which destroys trees from the inside, reached the Spanish mainland two years ago in Guadalest in the Marina Baja before affecting the Marina Alta and El Comtat inland. The Generalitat initially followed EU directives for its eradication, uprooting and destroying affected trees and all those within a 100-metre radius. This was opposed from the outset by agricultural growers as well as town halls, including those of Halon and Alcalali, appalled at the destruction of picturesque municipalities whose economies

THE JUCAR CANYON in the region of Castile-La Mancha is one of Spain’s lesser known natural wonders.
Spain’s forgotten canyon AROUND a two-hour drive from Alicante airport, one of Spain’s most stunning natural wonders lies in the depths of rural Castile-La Mancha. The Jucar Canyon is a 40km gorge that is carved through the Albacete countryside, with picturesque villages and luscious green forests lining the banks of the Jucar River that follows its path. The canyon is situated in an area known as La Manchuela. The
source of the canyon starts out as rich, fertile vegetable gardens and river vegetation. It soon transforms into a unique habitat, with woodland of juniper, pine and holm-oak perched on the side of the steep 100-metre high gorge sides. On the steeper sections the rocky outcrops are home to nesting birds of prey such as Griffon Vultures and Golden Eagles and the river is rich in aquatic and bird life. One of the most spectacular
Ferry refloated ON Saturday, Sunday and Monday divers could be seen in the port of Denia attempting to refloat the Balearia ferry, the ‘Pinar del Rio,’ which ran aground last week. Four hundred passengers were successfully evacuated from the ferry when the incident occurred on Friday night. On Saturday afternoon an anti-pollution barrier was put around the boat as a preventative measure, although Balearia has stated that there has been no fuel spill and that a ship stranded at the entrance of the port does not prevent maritime traffic in Denia. The divers are drawing up a plan to refloat the boat in order to move it to the port and disembark the vehicles which remain on board. Balearia has announced that from Sunday the ‘Bahama Mama’ ferry will replace the ‘Pinar del Rio’ on the DeniaIbiza-Palma route which departs from Palma at 5.45pm.

sights along the gorge is the villages that are perched on top of the many meanders that the river takes. One of the most spectacular being the stretch between Valdeganga to the village of Villa de Ves. Although relatively unknown as a tourist destination, sports such as hiking, fishing, cycle-touring, kayaking are all practised on the river, and a number of lovely guest houses are situated along the length of the river.
Man killed by bull FIFTY-NINE-YEAR-OLD Vicente Asensio Martinez, died on Saturday after suffering a serious injury during the bull running festivities of the Torico de la Cuerda in Chiva. The fatality happened around 7.30am, in the first of the six races that make up the famous festivities. Vicente was walking among a large group of participants and public when the bull ran at a young man, but Vicente stumbled and fell into the street whilst trying to escape. The man was gored in the abdomen and was immediately assisted by witnesses and the first aid responders at the event. He was taken to the Manises Hospital in cardiac arrest and did not recover. He was pronounced dead at the hospital by doctors. The young man who was gored at the same time suffered only minor injuries to his leg.

The mayor of Public Safety and Traffic, Isabel Perona, has stated that “the conditions of the contract offered by the concessionaire of the blue zone were not acceptable to the municipality, and therefore we are studying all alternatives that can improve parking.” Thus, from yesterday Wednesday, the paid parking area of the municipality will be completely invalidated and parking in the blue area will be free until a new municipal order is announced.

Where have all the people gone
PARCENT: Has a current population of 908. ALICANTE Province has a population of 1.839 million with an average 300 inhabitants per square metre. These figures are deceptive as inland mountain areas are increasingly depopulated with ageing communities, inadequate services and few job opportunities. Alicante Province has 51 municipalities with fewer than 1,000 inhabitants and most are located in the mountainous inland area where El Comtat, the Marina Alta, Marina Baja and l’Alacanti converge. Depopulation has been a structural prob-
lem in these towns and villages for decades although it has barely featured in the agendas of the regional and national governments. The smaller Vall de Pop towns are living examples of this, so that Murla which now has 493 inhabitants, had 751 in 1940. Parcent’s population, in contrast, has remained relatively unchanged with 908 inhabitants now, compared with 924 in 1940. Benigembla has also experienced depopulation, falling from 711 in 1940 to its present 444 inhabitants.

La Nucia Correfoc THE street theatre company Xarxa Teatre from Castellon, last night brought the #LaNuciaEnFestes to a close with a representation of their correfoc ‘Nit Magica.’ The public enjoyed one of the most expressive and explosive shows that invites the public to dance under the sparks with the performers. This show by Xarxa Teatre takes its inspiration from the Valencian festive tradi-
tions and updates them through theatre to bring them into the present day. In the ‘Nit magica’ we find traditional pyrotechnics, fire bulls and dolçaina i tabal music. For this show, Xarxa Teatre decided to recover the traditional pyrotechnic structures from the Valencian Community. These wooden structures had fallen into disuse and were given a new lease of life for this theatrical performance.

Solers factory refurbishment WORKS have begun at the Solers Factory in Alcoy to turn it into an ‘Interpretation Centre’ to showcase the origins of industry in the Valencian Community. A budget of €712,090 was given to the project with 50 per cent being subsidised by the Generalitat Valenciana through the Feder Fund of the European Union. The project has been drafted by architect, Ciro Manuel Vidal Climent, and the first phase is estimated to take six months. The aim is to turn this natural spot into a cultural and tourist point of reference on the origins of the industrialisation of Alcoy. “We cannot forget that Alcoy was the birthplace of the industrial revolution in the Community and in Spain, and this fact was not being sufficiently exploited or valued. The heritage not only needs to be recovered, it is necessary to use it,” said Mayor Toni Francés. The Molino Vell, declared a building of Cultural Interest (BIC), is considered the

birthplace of Valencian industrialisation. In the 15th century the first flour mills were installed at the head of the river in order to take advantage of the energy that was cre-
ated by the power of the water. This led to more and more industries settling in the area until 1960 when they were abandoned due to changes in the textile industry.
All is explained JALON Town Hall recently issued a statement explaining the recent water supply problems. Jalon’s domestic water comes from a Parcent well belonging to the Vall de Pop Irrigation Community. Each year, as aquifer levels descend, the pump that brings up the water is lowered but Jalon was prepared for this, warning of possible cuts while work was carried out. Problems began when the pump broke down and had to be repaired. With Jalon’s summer population at its height, it was decided to switch to a well in Lliber used until 2017, warning householders that it was unsuitable for drinking or cooking. Seventy per cent of the municipality had water most of the
time, while another 10 per cent had no cuts at all. Other zones where it was not possible to connect the Lliber water had no supply for up to 24 hours, “An episode where so many different factors coincide is not habitual,” the town hall pointed out. “Nevertheless, our reliance on Parcent makes us more exposed to cuts caused by breakdowns.” The town hall called for better infrastructure for inland municipalities, adding that the effects of climate change should also be taken into account. “Aquifer levels have sunk to an all-time low,” the statement warned.

Shots fired at car MARBELLA Local Police fired shots at a car in Puerto Banus after it crashed into a patrol vehicle then sped away
at high speed. Police had stopped the car after it was seen skidding round corners at high speed.
When officers pulled the vehicle over at 6.30am last Thursday, instead of turning the engine off and getting out as ordered, the driver reversed at high speed, hitting the police car, then accelerated away. Police allege the driver one of three occupants of the 220HP Renault Megane deliberately tried to run over an officer who had to jump clear to avoid being run over. At this point police fired several shots at the tyres of the car in an effort to bring it
to a halt. The suspect car sped off through several red lights and on to the A-7 coastal road where a chase at speeds of up to 200kph ensued until the suspect crashed on the notorious La Cala bend. When Guardia Civil arrived the driver and passengers had disappeared. Investigations have revealed the car had been stolen in France last June. A search of the vehicle discovered gloves and lockpicks inside.

Fuel spill in Malaga port PORT authorities in Malaga had to put into operation an antipollution plan when 8,000 litres of diesel spilled into the harbour while a ferry was being refuelled. A failure, possibly with a badly closed valve, in the fuel tanks of the ferry Sicilia de BaleĂ ria caused the spillage from the ship which operates between Malaga and Melilla. The incident was controlled thanks to the deployment of antipollution barriers. In addition, sources stressed that it was diesel and not fuel oil, which would have been more harmful. The deployment of these measures made it possible to control the leak and prevent it from leaving the Heredia inner dock. The fuel was removed with the help of skimmers.

Be careful of watch thieves A WARNING has been sent out to watch out for muggers who are targeting people for their expensive watches in Spain. It seems to be a particular and recurring problem in the Balearic Islands where foreign gangs are known by police to return for the summer season in search of wealthy and unsuspecting tourists. The latest warning has come from a man who was targeted by thieves riding a moped in Palma. Speaking to the UK’s Mail Online the 44-year-old man who wishes to remain anonymous, described how a thief tried to remove a €25,000 Audemar Piguet watch from his wrist while he was queuing to pay in a shop after a trip to the beach.
EXPENSIVE WATCHES: Are being stolen by muggers.
Unfortunately for the thief the intended victim is a jiujitsu expert who chased the criminal and subdued him with the help of double Thai boxing world champion Iman Barlow, as reported in the Euro Weekly News. The victim has blamed
this incident on ‘Italians’ who he says fly in to commit this sort of crime. He now wants an ‘explanation’ from the Spanish authorities on why this sort of targeted theft is still happening, and warns people to be on their guard for thieves.

THE WEEK IN POLITICS
MANUELA CARMENA, former mayor of Madrid, dismissed as ‘frivolous’ suggestions that she could be a minister in a future Pedro Sanchez government. Carmena’s Mas Madrid was the most-voted party in the May 26 municipal elections although city hall is now controlled by a Partido Popular-Ciudadanos-Vox alliance. “Nobody has offered anything,” said Carmena.
Personal opinion ANNOUNCING Madrid’s candidates for the April 28 general elections, Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera said Spain was lucky to have people like Marcos de Quinto. Number Two on Ciudadanos’ list for Madrid recently criticised ‘the pious Leftist theocracy’ for saving well-fed Open Arms passengers while forgetting the starving in Venezuela. Responding to the criticism from all sides, De Quinto replied that these were personal tweets. “If people don’t like them they needn’t read them,” he argued.

Her present mission is to create a foundation that will put ethics back into politics and ‘banish insults’ from public debate, Carmena revealed.
Catalan elections not ruled out GUILTY verdicts for Catalan separatists facing charges that include rebellion and misappropriation of public funds could trigger an early regional election. Oriol Junqueras, president of the Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC) party, has been imprisoned on remand since November 2017 following the regional parliament’s unilateral declaration of independence of October 27. This came to nothing and the PDeCat leader and former regional president Carles Puigdemont fled Spain two days later, followed by other members of the regional government. Twelve who remained stood trial earlier this year and await verdicts due to arrive after the summer break. “Calling elections is an option that cannot be rejected,” Junqueras told a radio interviewer. The other pro-independence party PDeCat is unconvinced, especially its leader Carles Puigdemont who now lives in Waterloo (Belgium). With ERC overtaking Puigdemont’s party in the last general elections and continuing to rise in the polls, the former regional president considers this would result in his PDeCat successor and protégé - Quim Torra heading a weakened acting government. Equally important, but unspoken, is the likelihood of an ERC overall majority that would weaken Puigdemont’s own grip.

Less youngsters smoking SPAIN has one of the highest percentages of smokers in Europe. So much so that the FrenchSpanish state Andorra is the country with the highest cigarette consumption per year per person in the world according to a World Health Organisation survey. However, a recent study has shown teenagers are more than 18 per cent less likely to start smoking than they were 17 years ago.
The study edited by Socidrogalcohol collected data from 51,046 test subjects from 2002 to 2018, all of whom were aged between 15 and 18. The study found that 26.5 per cent of this age group were smoking regularly in 2002, but by the time 2018 came around, only 8.7 per cent of the youngsters had started smoking on a regular basis.
The couple claimed to have purchased the items from a collector on the Costa Brava. Upon investigation the seller confirmed the story and was found to also have possession of mortars and shells which have also been confiscated. Spanish police said the couple are very lucky as the items, without proper transportation care could have detonated. The Spanish Public Prosecution Service is investigating.

The kidnappers were demanding a ransom of €250,000. Luckily for him though, the police had been following the criminal group for some time and were able to quickly and accurately locate the house where he was being held with the help of the network of security cameras around the city. Ten officers raided the kidnappers’ house in Temamatla in Mexico State and apprehended the suspects belonging to the notorious ‘Las Guerreras’ gang without a bullet being fired. Two of the four kidnappers in custody have criminal records for committing similar crimes. Edith Mayen and Enrique Flores are currently being held at the Mexico City Police Station awaiting trial.

CITY CRISIS: Fears for Barcelona’s security after another violent night.
Barcelona stabbings A 47-YEAR-OLD man has died in a street brawl in Barcelona amongst the bloodiest month the city has seen. The victim, who has not been named, was killed during a street fight at around 3am on Friday in the Nou Barris district of Barcelona. The man was killed after he received numerous stab wounds during the altercation which took place on Calle Vilapicina. He was treated by the Servei d’Emergències Mèdiques (SEM), however he was reported dead shortly before arriving at the hospital. This was the second recorded incident on
Friday night as a man was seriously injured in a robbery attempt at around 12pm on the intersection of Via Laietana with Sant Pere Més Baix. According to witnesses he was assaulted and stabbed by a number of men who attempted to steal his belongings. The Mossos d’Esquadra have revealed that although they have suspicions on the perpetrators of both events, they have not made any arrests as of yet. The latest bloody night in Barcelona has come after the City Council has admitted there is a ‘security crisis’ currently ongoing in the city.

Planning a tax-efficient move to Spain If you’ve been dreaming about living full time in Spain but haven’t yet, what’s stopping you? While many people need to wait until retirement, for others it may be the fear of foreign taxes, or just weighing up the pros and cons of such a big life change. And ongoing Brexit uncertainty has also muddied the waters for would-be expatriates. Interestingly, the unsettled political situation in the UK, triggered by Brexit frustration, is the reason some Britons are considering leaving to become tax resident elsewhere. If there was a general election, a new UK government could introduce changes when taking over the nation’s purse strings. There is speculation, for instance, that higher earners or those holding valuable assets could be hit with more punitive taxes. However, no-one can predict for sure what the future holds for taxation. Your tax burden can rise and fall at any given time. While good financial planning can help protect your wealth, if you are

You also need to understand how the UK’s statutory residence test could continue to apply to you. By Brett Hanson, Partner, Blevins Franks considering moving to Spain, this may be the time to put an action plan in place. Once you have decided to move, it is sensible to start reviewing your financial planning. Research the taxes you’ll be liable for as a resident of Spain, how they will affect your wealth and what mitigation opportunities are available. Taxation Tax residency in Spain is not just about day counting. You could be resident even if you do not live in Spain but your spouse

Rates range from 0.2% to 2.5%, with variations across regions. Spanish succession and gift rates and allowances depend who the beneficiary is, where deceased and beneficiary

With specialist guidance, you can often use compliant arrangements to lower taxes on investment income, assets, pensions and estate. Investing, pensions and estate planning While tax planning is a vital step to protecting your wealth, don’t neglect other aspects of your financial planning.

opportune time to review your investment portfolio.

BREXIT BRIEF Making provisions IN his latest speech Jeremy Corbyn has cited new leaked documents pertaining to an operation aimed at making provisions necessary to keep the supply of some vital medicines and food steady in post-Brexit Britain. The documents for the operation entitled ‘Yellowhammer’ suggest that the UK will have problems importing some vital medicines and some fresh food after leaving the EU. Michael Gove - the minister in charge of making sure that in a no-deal scenario Britain’s assets and economy is secure - has been reported as saying that operation Yellowhammer denotes the worst case scenario. He claims that he and his team are making sufficient efforts to stop severe delays in receiving medicine and food. According to various government sources however, the leaked documents mention that the worst case scenario is the scenario most likely to transpire.
Corbyn intent on stopping No Deal JEREMY CORBYN has stated in a recent speech that he will not let Boris Johnson ‘crash out’ of the EU without a deal by calling for another election after they hold a vote of no confidence. Corbyn compared Johnson to Trump in his speech, a likeness that drew the Conservatives to respond in turn by referring to this attempt to gain power as a ‘cynical’ move to ‘dither.’ Corbyn expressed that Labour is morally obliged to take the situation into their own hands and capitalise on the aftermath of the vote of no confidence to avoid what he has termed a ‘Trump Deal Brexit.’ The vote of no confidence is scheduled to take place early October before the UK is sup-

posed to be taken out of the EU. If Johnson cannot secure
his position as prime minister in the two weeks after the first
vote, Corbyn will have an opportunity to stop the Conservative government from forcing the UK out of the EU. Johnson believes that he will still have the power to do so whilst the second vote is in situ. The Labour party has agreed that Jeremy Corbyn cannot control a majority vote in parliament if the Conservative lose the vote of no confidence. Brexit spokesperson Tom Brake has called for Corbyn to stand down if this is the case and back a new leader who will ultimately have more success in the house. Corbyn has refused to relinquish his position after a vote of no confidence is passed and has urged all those in the remain camp to get on board with his plan.
BREXIT EXTRA Leaked docs BORIS JOHNSON has blamed Phillip Hammond for leaking the documents pertaining to Operation Yellowhammer. Hammond has vehemently denied any involvement in this alleged intentional move to undermine Johnson and his team before important negotiations with the EU.
Farming news MP Owen Paterson has claimed that when the UK leaves the EU farmers will be able to better plan funding to cover their costs and they will not have to compete with the European farmers who will be able to significantly undercut them.
New structure JEREMY CORBYN has proposed a new structure of taxation after Brexit in the new economic landscape. He said in his speech on Monday a general election after October 31 when the UK is set to leave the EU will necessitate increased taxing of the very wealthy.

SUPPORT: Prince Andrew has touched down in Malaga with his ex-wife.
Prince touches down PRINCE ANDREW touched down in Malaga last week with his ex-wife amidst fresh scrutiny surrounding his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The duo were seen getting off a private jet at Malaga airport before being whisked away in a limousine to a luxury Sotogrande resort where they have holidayed regularly since 2009. The Prince is said to be ‘panicked’ due to previous connections he had with the Ameri-
can, and that he has been accompanied by his ex-wife so she can ‘look after him’ and show the world their solidarity together. They are staying at a €38 million estate they regularly holiday in, set amongst the hills around Sotogrande. It is reported to include over 350 acres of land including a polo pitch, parkland, woodland and lakes, and is surrounded by a 12-foot perimeter fence to maintain complete privacy.
Mid-flight nightmare ENGINEER Alan Wild’s flight to Tenerife was turned into a nightmare when a drunken passenger sparked panic after attempting to open the emergency exit mid-flight. Alan, 47, an engineer from Cheshire, reported his story to UK press after the drunken passenger boarded his flight. He told press he could “hear some commotion going on at the front door... basically this guy got on the plane and was hammered.” Although he was reportedly abusive and loud towards the airline staff he was still permitted to board the plane, much to the disbelief of the rest of the passengers. He sat himself down in the emergency exit seat, and although told to move, he remained seated and the plane took off. Half an hour into the flight he vomited down himself and all over the aircraft floor. Fellow passengers saw that he had drunk three quarters of a bottle of whisky. Alan explained that he was terrified that the man would
damage the emergency door next to where he was sitting, adding that “he sat there spitting on the floor and hanging off the emergency exit door. His arms were all over it.” According to Alan, the cabin crew seemed unfazed by the
incident, claiming they have to deal with disruptive passengers all the time. Ryanair has recently imposed a ban on all duty free booze being taken on board flights with extra security police checks at the gates.

Parents beat daughters A MUSLIM couple has been arrested for allegedly beating their daughters for not wanting to practise Islam. The couple, originally from Guinea, were arrested in Palma for allegedly assaulting their young daughters for not wanting to wear the Islamic veil or practise the Muslim religion. National Police arrested the couple on Monday for crimes of abuse, child abuse and causing injury. Staff and teachers at the children’s school, PAC Escola Graduada in Palma, Mallorca informed the authorities that they suspected the children were being
mistreated. The girls, aged 12 and 14, had numerous injuries and confirmed that they had been beaten by their own parents. One of the girls confirmed that her father repeatedly attacked them for refusing to wear the Islamic veil and not wanting to practise the Muslim religion. According to Ultima Hora, the father beat the girls with a charging cable and with his belt to teach the girls to live ‘the right way.’ The parents will now face charges in court whilst the girls are cared for elsewhere.

In the latest operation, eight unregistered scooters were confiscated and the users fined for not adhering to the proper procedures. In new laws published by the Department of Transport, all electric scooters must conform to the same regulations that other vehicles do. They must now have a valid ITV certificate, insurance and logbook. Also the user must wear an approved motorcycle helmet and appropriate clothing and hold a valid AM licence. Fines for not complying with these rules are also set at similar levels as for other road users. An unregistered scooter will bring you a €500 fine, the same as if you don’t pos-

LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics. In Spain, Blood Components and Services are provided by 17 Regional Blood Transfusion Services. Despite their autonomous operations management, every regional service is fully incorporated into a unique and common Public National Health System, supplying a cohesive blood transfusion care to all citizens, residents, and visitors in Spain based on 100 per cent voluntary and non-remunerated blood donation. For more general information, visit www.msps.es. Anyone who has lived continuously in the UK between 1980 and 1996 (a minimum of one year) will not be able to donate blood in Spain due to the risk of transmitting mad cow disease. Similarly, there are restrictions if you have received a blood transfer in the UK. However, each region may have different rules about donation. Call the donation helpline on 935 573 500. Alternatively, visit www.donorsang.gencat.cat to find out if you are eligible. If you are eligible, you can give blood at your local hospital, or via the Spanish Red Cross (Cruz Roja) at one of their clinics, or in one of their mobile units. You can check dates and locations by visiting www.donarsangre.org. A donor card is not necessary to give blood. On the first visit you will have to provide DNI, NIE, passport or a driving licence. If you are already registered in the Blood Bank, you only need a donor card or a document with your name and surname. The process of blood donation takes just 10 minutes in which 450 ml are collected (equating to 10 per cent of the total blood circulation of an adult person). Despite huge technological advances, the only way for hospitals to obtain blood is through the generosity of the public. The blood is carefully screened for disease to make sure it is safe. After a tattoo, you must wait four months to be eligible to donate. After surgery, the exclusion period will depend on the type of intervention. After minor surgical procedures, you cannot donate blood for seven days or until you are fully recovered. After undergoing major surgery, you will not be able to donate blood for four months. The rarest blood type is AB, present in 1 per cent of Caucasians, according to research by the America Red Cross. Blood transfusions are carried out daily in Spanish hospitals with more than 6,200 patients being given them, of whom almost a quarter are fighting cancer and a similar figure receiving transfusions during or after surgery. Spain has around two million donors in total, but needs closer to four million. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice.

NATIONAL POLICE have arrested a Romanian couple in Beniganim, Valencia for allegedly forcing a young woman of the s ame n a t i o n a l i t y i n t o p ro s titu tio n b y threatening her with violence. She was originally promised lucrative work and a better lifestyle in Spain by the detained couple. She subsequently moved with them from Romania thinking that she would be taken care of, but she was instead forced to work 10 hours a day in an isolated house offering her body for sex. All of the money went to the couple, so in effect she was a sex slave.
The young woman has told police that she was often raped by her captor and she was forced to have two abortions during her time in the country. She was also regularly beaten according to the police who noticed several wounds and bruises. Police raided the couple’s house after suspected prostitution was reported and found the woman. The Court of Valencia has remanded the couple in custody after they were charged with several counts of sexual abuse, coercion and violence.
Longest slide removed THE longest slide in Spain measuring in at 38 metres high has been removed from the Los Niños park in Estepona, Costa del Sol, amid safety concerns. The company which built the slide was forced to dismantle the slide by the town hall after several people injured themselves on the way down. They were offered the chance to revise the slide and to certify it as safe in the eyes of the law, but the building company couldn’t effectively guarantee the safety of everybody using it. The slide was originally installed to
bring attention to the surrounding area which is a park designated for further development in an area of about 38,000 sqm. With lots of greenery such as pines plus new infrastructure including lighting and irrigation, the Los Niños park has required a large sum of public money to bring it to life. The slide however, was a product of the building company that is trying to promote further development in the area, so it will not cost the taxpayer anything to take it down.

Free university for refugees A CONTROVERSIAL decision has been made by the University of Zaragoza to offer free university courses for refugees. The university has announced that they are working at ‘maintaining and reinforcing its commitment to act as a reception agent for people in need of international protection and refuge.’ This has caused a negative response amongst Spanish people looking to further their education that have to pay for their undergraduate or master’s degrees.
Many Spanish people feel it is unfair that they have to go through the extensive registration process and that their parents and grandparents have been contributing into the system all of their lives. The Board of Directors has announced that the intention is to ‘guarantee equal opportunities in access to the University by means of non-dissuasive fees and a system of aid.’ There is, however, no mention of applying the same privileges to Spanish nationals.
Animals rescues up THE Son Reus Municipal Animal Protection Shelter has plenty of empty cages
this summer which is definitely a reason to be happy as the number of aban-
doned animals has gone down in 2019. This year, 1,118 dogs and cats have been brought in to Son Reus - 288 have a chip, 563 are strays and 267 were handed over by their owners. Normally there is an increase of abandoned animals in the summer and it is hoped that the number does not increase towards the end of the season when people leave the island. So far this year, 527 animals have been adopted and 78 dogs and 30 cats are now ready to be adopted, which shows that the centre has a high adoption rate. The Son Reus facilities have 110 cages for the animals and the council has laid out plans to build a second operating room and recruit a new vet to improve the facilities.

The first of the two missing individuals to be located without life was the child, whose unconscious body was rescued by Riells beach lifeguard service. After trying to revive him, they certified his death. The alarm was triggered at 3.22pm on Saturday when the emergency telephone number 112 received several calls informing that a child had drowned on the beach.

The couple had installed a ‘point of sale’ in their family home to distribute the narcotics to dealers in the area. Officers from the National Police made the arrest and seized in total 103 grammes of cocaine, 70.6 grammes of hashish, 5.3 of marihuana, €155 in cash, a precision scale and two vehicles.

A major clue in the arrest of the man was the apparent attitude of the dogs when the attack was taking place.

The 29-year-old has proclaimed his innocence for the crime, stating that at the time of the murder, between 8.40pm and 8.50pm he was playing video games. However logs of his online activity place a window of time during his gaming session where he could have pos s ibly c ommitte d the crime.
Girl trapped in pool A SIX-YEAR-OLD girl was left trapped for two hours after she got her arm trapped in a swimming pool pump pipe on the Costa del Sol. Zara Clarkson had her arm trapped in a water inlet and had to keep her head above water while firefighters in the resort town of Estepona smashed through the pool’s concrete wall to free her. H er f a t h e r Z a c k h e ld h e r an d s tay ed ‘cheek to cheek’ with her as he kept her calm while the rescue work continued. Zack and Zara were enjoying their first family holiday together at the villa with mum Claire, 42 and Zaras’s twin sister Lucy after buying the property at Christmas.
After lowering the water level and cutting through the concrete, Zara was freed with her arm still stuck in the pipe. This was then cut off by firefighters. L o ca l re ports s a y the pool pump w a s s w itch ed off a t the time , a lthough a neighbour quoted in the UK press disputes this. Zara was initially said to be unharmed, but she has been in hospital for observation after her arm swelled up, it has been reported. The incident comes two months after a similar incident in Mallorca where a threeyear-old Swedish boy also had to be freed by firefighters.
Property damage to your bike IT’S summertime, and the Spanish open roads beckon. Whether you ride a motorcycle, moped or motorised bike, there is nothing like letting your bike take you where you want to go. But before you suit up and head out, check that your motorcycle insurance includes standard coverage items such as property damage to the bike. Bike insurance policies from Línea Directa include total theft by third parties and any damage in the event of an accident resulting from a collision or impact. Compensation If the repair estimate exceeds 100 per cent of the bike’s market value, then it will be considered a total write-off. In this case, compensation is calculated according to the bike’s age; during the first 12 months: value as new, from month 13 onwards: market value. Damage to the tyres are also covered, with 80 per cent of their value as new if no liable third party vehicle is identified, and 100 per cent if the other vehicle is identified. Standard equipment is also covered and compensated at replacement value. Repair costs, following an accident, are covered 100 per cent providing the insured submits the relevant invoices. Ways to save money on your bike insurance Línea Directa recommends you shop around not only to find the
best price but also the best coverage, by comparing detailed quotes. Don’t cancel your policy in the winter because you won’t save on premiums, and with many fair weather riding days throughout the year, you won’t be insured if you want to go for a ride. Keep a clean record to help keep your premiums as low as possible. Always secure your bike in a locked facility and install an anti-theft device. Tips for safe, claims-free biking Before each ride, check your bike’s tyres, brakes and oil and petrol levels. Wear an approved helmet and if it has been involved in an accident then buy a new one. Wear a jacket, pants, gloves and riding boots, fluorescent or reflective materials will make you more visible to other road users especially at night. Remain alert at all times, especially at intersections and blind corners. Always respect speed limits and adjust your riding to the road and surface conditions.

PROWLING: Wolf was seen near the Galician house.
Three dogs eaten by wolf A WOMAN in Galicia says that her three dogs, which were chained up in a yard, have been eaten by a wolf. The woman, named only as Estrella, said she and neighbours saw the predator prowling around the area of A Espiñeira, in the parish of Sistallo, in the municipality of Cospeito. Not thinking the animal would come so close, she didn’t think of bringing her pets in. It was only later that she made the sad discovery of three empty collars still at-
tached to the chains. A neighbour of Estrella, Ana María, said that her daughter saw the wolf one day at 7am. Their dog was loose, so was left unharmed. A nearby farmer in the rural region said he has lost three sheep to the wolf, which is said to be thin. Experts advise the best protection against wolves is to have a large mastiff-type dog which is big enough to see off a hungry wolf.

is brought to you by Beaches aren’t ashtrays RECYLING: Colour-coded bins
Something of a grey area CALPE’S recycling figures continue to rise each year. In the first half of 2019 residents recycled 261.88 tons of light containers, compared with 211.34 tons during the same period in 2018. They also took 323.22 tons of cardboard and paper for recycling, compared with 314.92 tons in 2018. Municipal sources revealed that the increase became more noticeable in 2015 after selective containers were installed at 300 points throughout Calpe to encourage recycling. The town hall also stressed the importance of depositing rubbish in the appropriate containers. Paper and cardboard should go in the blue bins while multi-material waste like plastic bottles and containers and tetrabriks should be left in the yellow bins. Glass bottles and jars should be left in the green containers while food, plants and organic leftovers should go into the grey containers. Acciona, which provides Calpe’s rubbish collection service, has found that many doubts exist regarding what refuse should be put in the yellow containers. These are not suitable for all types of plastics, as many people believe, an Acciona spokesman explained, but are intended for containers made from any type of material apart from glass. Other plastic objects should, therefore go into the grey container, he said.
T W E N T Y- F O U R v o l u n t e e r s f r o m the De Amicitia non-government organisation are removing litter each morning from Calpe’s beaches. They will be doing this until the end of August and anybody inter-
ested in assisting them is invited to join in. They have also been distributing ashtrays to encourage smokers not to stub out their cigarettes in the sand.

Long wait for train CATCHING a train from Teulada-Moraira station still entails a long wait. The regional government, the Generalitat, recently awarded a two-year contract for a bus to cover the Line 9 rail service between Calpe and Denia.
This section of the line, undergoing a â‚Ź130 million modernisation scheme, was closed in July 2016 on safety grounds. Despite initial announcements that the project would be completed by 2019, the date was put back several times and the recently-awarded contract is indirect proof that the entire
Benidorm-Denia line will not be operative until 2021. Regional rail operator FGV recently confirmed that renovating the Calpe-Teulada section of track was nearing completion and work would continue next year on the Teulada-Gata and Gata-Denia sections.

The accident occurred on the dangerous curve at the Garganta de Gata which, despite its name, is inside the Teulada-Moraira boundary. According to witnesses, the victim took the curve too quickly, lost control of the 125cc bike that he was riding and veered into the path of the oncoming bus. The driver of the mainline bus which covers the Alicante-Valencia route attempted to avoid the motorcyclist who despite the manoeuvre still crashed into the side of the vehicle near the door.

RESIDENTS and visitors complained, as they do each summer, about bad smells from the Les Bassetes irrigation channels. “Waiting at the bus stop, for instance, is unbearable as well as unhealthy and unsafe,” one of the residents’ associations declared. The problem originates in the layer of green slime that forms on the stagnant water rainwater in the channels as well as seawater, although this
last is less usual, residents said. This is a recurring problem each summer, they maintained, although the main channel and its branches were cleaner than usual after the town cleared them and covered some sections with stones. “The situation has improved,” they said. “But they have not done this with all of them, which is what we don’t understand.”

Kathryn Mayorga claims she took $375,000 of hush-money from Ronaldo back in 2010 as part of a private settlement - and has previously said she signed a confidentiality agreement vowing to remain quiet about the alleged incident. Her lawyers have said she was inspired to speak out and

make her claim public by the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment. Ronaldo has maintained that he is not guilty in regard to the 10-year-old sexual assault allegation that he raped a woman in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009. Ronald claims the money is not an admission of guilt, rather the cost of keeping a le-
gal dispute out of the media. “Based upon a review of the information presented at this time, the allegations of sexual assault against Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt,” as stated by the District Attorney’s Office. The civil lawsuit has been moved to a federal court.

Theme park closed for ‘flying swastikas’ A THEME park in Löffingen, Germany has been forced to close its doors after just one month when its newest ride caused a storm as it resembled giant spinning swastikas. The ride included two spinning arms on a single upright arm. Because of the four seats on each of the arms, the shape resembles a swastika as it rotates. A video was released online with users stunned by the mistake. One person wrote: ‘You really do not have the words. Something like that would have to be banned.’ Rüdiger Braun, the owner of the park, said he didn’t realise the resemblance until the video circulated online. He also apologised for any offence caused by the mistake and is currently in talks to redesign the ride.

RESEMBLANCE: The ‘flying eagle’ ride had to be shut down for its swastika appearance.

Airport strikes
IBERIA workers at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport have announced four days of strikes on August 24, 25, 30 and 31. According to trade union UGT, as in July the strikes are in protest at the lack of sufficient staff to meet real needs and the ‘systematic failure’ by the company to meet previous agreements reached with staff. The main problems are, according to the union, the lack of permanent staff they need to increase the temporary workforce and the indiscriminate use of compulsory overtime.

Is the size of the ‘cushion’ the Bank of Spain has built up in case of another banking crisis.
Ferrovial deal called off A CONSORTIUM led by Spanish multinational Ferrovial has had a $650 million (€580 million) contract to remodel and then operate for 34 years Denver International Airport’s main terminal rescinded. The project, which also involved a company owned by basketball player Magic Johnson, has run into technical problems as well as disagreements between the client and the consortium, according to both the airport and the builders. The consortium has said it rejects the unilateral decision of the airport to terminate the contract in-
By Dilip Kuner stead of continuing with negotiations that started in late 2018 to resolve their differences. This group of companies, which includes the local firm Saunders and JLC, an investment fund made up of Loop Capital and Magic Johnson, has also said it will claim compensation, as outlined in the original contract, but has said it will ensure an orderly transition to a new contractor and so will stay in charge until November. According to the group presided
over by Rafael del Pino, the origin of the technical problems lies in the difficulties posed by the characteristics of the concrete originally used to build the airport terminal which is now being remodelled. On top of that, the client has been introducing changes and modifications to the original project. All this has led to delays and cost overruns in the works. Denver International Airport is the largest in the United States in terms of total area and the fifth busiest airport in the country.
Factories switch RETAIL giant Inditex has been reducing its number of manufacturing partners in Latin America and moving to Asia. Since 2015, the number of factories with which Inditex works have been cut by 96 per cent and 55 per cent in Brazil and Argentina respectively. At the same time the number of factories working for Inditex on a non-exclusive basis increased notably in Cambodia (43 per cent), China (40 per cent) and Bangladesh (35 per cent). China is the country with the highest number of plants associated with the company, 1,903.

Homes sale TILLS RINGING: Beer sales at Mercadona on the up.
Cheers for the beer SUPERMARKET chain Mercadona looks to have won its bet on Spanish beer. In just a year it has increased its number of beer suppliers from seven to 40 including artisanal brews. As a result, in 2018 it sold 60 per cent more Spanish beer than the previous year to make a total of 240 million litres. Currently on its shelves you can find Mahou, Heineken, Damm, Estrella Galicia, La Zaragozana, Compañía Cervecera de Canarias, Font Salem, Tyris, La Sagra, Arriaca, La Virgen, Birra & Blues, Alegría, Premium Beers, Gara, Mulhacén, Nazarí, Rosas, Alma Turdetana, Gaitanejo, Domus, La Salve, 15&30, Tibidabo, Barcelona Beer Company, Mica, Kadabra and Toro.

Auditors cashing in THE Big Four received €312 million as auditors of Ibex companies in 2018, 11 per cent less than in 2015. Leading the way were PwC and KPMG who charged €148 million and €80 million respectively. They have been helped by the Accounts Audit Act, passed in July 2015, which was intended to encourage independence and competition between companies. Three years after its
entry came into force in June 2016, the status quo has changed radically and audits of Ibex companies, traditionally dominated by Deloitte, are now dominated by PwC, which verifies the accounts of a dozen companies. In 2018, PwC provided audit, verification and related services to Acerinox, Sabadell, Bankinter, CaixaBank, Cie, Colonial, Ence, Meliá, Repsol, Santander, Telefónica and Viscofan.

Low growth forecast FUNDS manager Pimco expects eurozone GDP to grow between 0.75 per cent and 1.25 per cent in 2019. With some countries in recession this represents a slowdown influenced by the significant downward pressure on the economy of weak world trade. Pimco’s forecasts are more pessimistic than those of the European Commission itself, which predicted growth of 1.2 per cent in 2019 for the euro area. In the second quarter, the single currency economy grew by just 0.2 per cent, half that of the first quarter, as confirmed this week by Eurostat. Germany’s economy contracted by 0.1 per cent. Further afield, Pimco considers that the yuan’s stability is ‘well anchored’ with a ‘patient’ Federal Reserve, which understands that this should be a component of the t r a d e a g re e m e n t b e tween China and the US. The European Central Bank (ECB) is preparing a major stimulus package against the weakness of the Eurozone, as recently announced by its president, Mario Draghi. It is trying to curb an ‘ever-worsening’ economic scenario. As for the United Kingdom, the fund manager has predicted real growth in the range of 1 per cent to 1.5 per cent in 2019, since it considers a nodeal Brexit ‘a low probability event.’

FINANCE, BUSINESS & LEGAL TREND BUCKER: VW plant is going to increase production.
Vehicle production on the decline VEHICLE production in Spain, the second largest producer in Europe and the ninth largest in the world, continues to fall. Official data shows that up to the end of May, it had fallen by 5.6 per cent compared to the same period of 2018. Forecasts are for the decline to be between 3 per cent and 5 per cent of volume to about 2.7 million units by the end of the year, which would be the third consecutive year of falls. The main reason for this loss of production derives from the fall in demand of Spain’s main markets which are 90 per cent European. Leading the fall in sales has been Spain itself, which saw 5.7 per cent fewer registrations in the first six months of the year. Italy saw a decline of 3.5 per cent to 1.08 million registrations. Third was the United Kingdom with a decrease of 3.4 per cent, to 1.26 million units. In France, deliveries fell by 1.8 per cent to
1.16 million. Germany, the main European market, grew by 0.5 per cent to 1.84 million sales, but could not prevent sales in Europe as a whole from contracting by 3.1 per cent. This loss of demand is causing production adjustments at Spanish car plants. Mercedez-Benz Vitoria has reduced production of Class V and Vito vans by 6,000 units for this year. The Villaverde plant of the PSA Group is undergoing a process of temporary employment regulation (Erte) until 2020; and in the centre of Vigo, on the line that manufactures the Peugeot 301 and Citroën CElysée, another temporary employment agreement has been formalised until production of these models ends at the end of the year. Ford Almussafes has just announced another Erte that will affect all its workers until the end of the year, both in the car plant and in the engine plant. Iveco,
CNH Industrial’s truck manufacturer, has had another Erte since January 2018 at its Madrid plant. Nissan Barcelona is running an ERE for 600 people because of the low demand for the pick-ups it produces. And Nissan Avila has already stopped manufacturing trucks to become a plant producing spare parts. On the positive side, the Volkswagen group has just awarded its factory in Landaben a third model that will start production in the second half of 2021 and will guarantee 340,000 units per year in the medium term. In 2018 it produced 272,000 cars. Both VW Navarra and Seat Martorell will end the year with more production. Ford will manufacture battery packs in Almussafes from September 2020; and Renault, whose production in Valladolid and Palencia is falling, expects to start making the new Renault Captur and Mégane by the end of 2020.
False selfemployed THE National Statistics Institute (INE) has reclassified as salaried 143,500 workers who initially declared themselves as self-employed in the second quarter of 2019. This figure is 9,200 persons lower than that recorded in the first quarter, when the INE detected 152,700 people falsely declared as self-employed. In short, in the first half of th e y e a r almo s t 3 0 0 , 000 pe ople were in this situation. If we compare the data for the second quarter of this year with that of the same period of the previous year, the self-employed reclassified as employees fell by 26.5 per cent. Meanwhile, between April and
June of this year, the INE counted 98,700 inde pe nde nt w orke rs or businessmen without employees who work almost exclusively for one client, although they attend to others when they arise. This figure is low e r tha n both the pre vious quarter, when there were 104,400 people, and the figure recorded in the s e c ond qua rte r of 2018 (112,300). Thus, in the light of INE data, more people are self-employed but recognise that they work for a single client and, as a consequence, have been considered by Statistics as employees.

HEADQUARTERS: The INE says 143,500 people were falsely self-employed. proved the ‘Master Plan for a Decent Work 2018-2020,’ which entered into force on August, 2018 and which, among other actions, planned to intensify actions to de-
tect the false self-employed. According to the government, last year the situation of 32,067 falsely self-employed people was regularised, mostly in the meat sector.

Changing society
LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I TRULY am heartily sick and tired of being made to feel guilty for being in the majority. It is no fault of mine that I am a heterosexual male, perfectly at ease with my gender. Frankly I don’t care how anyone else chooses to lead their existence. I don’t care if men want to dress in frocks, Botox their bums, walk around in six-inch heels with light bulbs up their noses or use ladies toilets. Personally I couldn’t care less. Do anything you like. Live however you want. Just stop trying to convince me that living this type of existence is the ‘norm!’ By constantly trying to shove these gender bender ideals down everyone’s throats and endeavouring to convince us it’s all terribly normal, is inferring that those of us (the majority!) who lead rather more mundane and heterosexual existences - are actually abnormal. And frankly that offends me. Did it ever dawn on all of the gender benders that are hell bent on ‘changing society,’ that the reason we are described as the ‘silent majority’ is because we are perfectly happy with our lot. It’s only those who are utterly insecure with their chosen paths that feel the need to make the most noise and create all the furore.
IDEALS: Not for everyone.
What is not realised is that by making a completely over the top spectacle of themselves and thrusting their beliefs onto society through demonstrations and outrageous actions, they are actually alienating themselves from many who may otherwise be more sympathetic to their cause.
So do us all and yourselves a favour. Tone it down a bit. Enjoy and try to be comfortable in your bodies. Show the majority a little respect. Please don’t try to force us to accept outrageous and utterly over the top behaviour as the ‘norm.’ Most of us are perfectly happy the way we are. We would also like to keep the whole
controversial issue out of our innocent classrooms - if you get my drift! Oh, and by the way, before those who disagree with my views start writing in accusing me of being homophobic, please make sure you have interpreted my piece correctly. Personally I’ve always loved a bit of drag, just don’t want it shoved down my throat, that’s all. At the time of writing I have no idea how the circumstances of tragic teenager Nora Quoirin will turn out; but quite frankly, if the Malaysian authorities expect us to believe that a 15-year-old girl with severe special needs, is able to trek shoeless, through one and a half miles of thick jungle, and be discovered 10 days later completely naked and displaying just a few leg bruises - had actually managed it under her own steam, they must have taken leave of their senses. We all understand you have to protect your tourist industry, but credit us all with a little intelligence and get to work finding those who actually did commit this heinous and horrific abduction.

CASSANDRA NASH A WEEKLY LOOK - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
THIS has nothing to do with ideology or voters’ political orientation. If there is a November election because two groups of knowledgeable and - in some cases experienced people cannot reach agreement over who will do what in a hypothetical government, the PSOE and Unidas-Podemos parties should prepare for a punishment vote. Roughly 7.5 million people voted for the PSOE and about half that for Unidas Podemos last April. Had they wanted a return to the mid-70’s they would have voted for the Partido Popular, for Ciudadanos and, heaven forfend, for Vox who would have opted for the same threesome they have created in Andalucia, Murcia and Madrid where none was the most-voted party. This could happen nationally next November because the people the PSOE and UnidasPodemos expect to vote for them
22 - 28 August 2019
No sun - no moon will stay indoors instead. PSOE analysts believe they would pick up far more than their current 123 seats in another ele c tio n a th o ugh U P w ould plummet. Therefore PSOE will wing it
and win. Therefore nothing. D o you re me mbe r Thoma s Hood’s poem that begins ‘No sun - no moon!’ and ends ‘November?’ To tha t s hould be a dd’“ N o votes!’
Upset tummies IT’S the silly season again, although there’s not much silly about this summer of discontent in Spain or the UK. But at least the Clinica Universi-
Virtue signalling THERE is an outside chance that Isabel Maria Ayuso, who was finally invested regional president of the Madrid Community, could be investigated for links to the Punica corruption case. Punica? Just another PP-generated corruption case temporarily overlooked by a public more interested in acquiring a national government. They won’t be forgotten for long because the courts continue digging and the ghosts of cases past are ready to sidle out of the shadows and say ‘Run!’ to Pablo Casado. Ciudadanos’ whose votes, together with Vox’s, put Ayuso where she is has begun to cover its back, saying that if she should be investigated she would have to resign. It’s not likely to happen but it looks good and plays nicely to the gallery, especially those who rightly feel that Cs have sold out to Vox.
ISABEL MARIA AYUSO: Possible investigation.

dad de Navarra, run by the Catholic sect Opus Dei has done the honours with its announcement that promiscuity and homosexuality are responsible for gastroenteritis. Makes you wonder what they think is responsible for the Norovirus that strikes down cruise passengers like flies. A stopover at Sodom and Gomorrah presumably.
Straight down the middle ALBERT RIVERA’S dislike of Spain’s acting president Pedro Sanchez is increasingly personal, not political, as his refusal to meet him demonstrates. It’s not easy to discern what Rivera hopes to achieve with an enmity that was magnified by Sanchez’s elevation to president when the PSOE was at its lowest ebb and Cs at its highest. Rivera, but not his party, is listing to starboard when he could do far more harm to Sanchez and Pablo Casado’s PP by staying on course in the Centre. He needs to attract the undecided who ultimately decide elections, but instead he’s sending them anywhere but Cs.

Prepare for next winter with Neater Heater SUMMER may seem an odd time to think about next wint e r, b u t i t m a k e s g o o d s e n s e . Especially to those expats who would like to use their Spanish holiday homes all year round, rather than just for the summer. We a l s o u r g e n e w o w n e r s , who have just moved to the S p a i n t h i s y e a r, t o c o n s i d e r their winter heating. All fuel costs are rising s t e a d i l y, w h e t h e r y o u c h o o s e Gas, Oil, or Electricity; it pays to make sure that whichever system you decide upon is efficient and economical. Remember: Efficient means it does the job, and economical means it is cheap to run. Many systems are one OR the o t h e r, b u t N e a t e r H e a t e r s a r e both. Neater Heaters are made in
N o r w a y, w h e r e t h e y b e n e f i t from Scandinavian styling, and modern, state-of-the-art, design and materials. Whether wall-mounted or free-standing, you have the confidence that these heaters will be providing a more costeffective efficient heat output than any of their rivals. Our Adax standard panel heater offers the customer a cheaper option to the stylish Beha heater, without compromising on the running efficiency and reliability that we have come to associate with Norwegian systems. Neater Heater can also offer the stylish Neo range for people with a more colourful outlook on life. At the moment the customer can choose to have their Neo heaters in one of four colours: White; black; silver and red.
“By offering the Adax range as well as the Beha range, we believe that we have all bases covered when it comes to electric convector heating,” explains Tony. “Customers can now browse our website, or visit one of our distributors, and select a heater that totally suits their circumstances, whether it is a stylish Beha or Neo heater or a more utilitarian, but cheape r, A d a x s t a n d a r d p a n e l heater.” A couple of years ago we added to our range the Turkish m a d e Vi g o h e a t e r a n d t o w e l radiators. These heaters share the design technology and ethos of the current Neater Heaters, but it has two differences: The Vi g o c o m e s w i t h a c a r r y i n g
handle, wall bracket, and feet included in the price. They also have a digital display that indicates the reduced wattage that the heater regulates once the room has reached the desired temperature, thus saving more money through reduced running costs. Buying now, in the summer, allows you the comfort of having plenty of time to investigate our heaters against a l l o t h e r s . We k n o w t h e o n e s you will probably choose, as we made the same choice ourselves many years ago.
HEATERS: Stylish and practical.

BARRY DUKE IF it’s true that you can judge a person’s character by his or her choice of music, I’d automatically be classified as a redneck someone whose spouse weighs more than his tractor, and thinks the stock market has a fence around it. I’m nothing like that, but the contents of my Sony Walkman says otherwise. Mixed in with jazz, it contains a vast number of hillbilly songs by artists ranging from Dolly Parton and Willy Nelson to relative newcomer, Steve Grand, a gay Chicago singer, songwriter and model who, to my mind is the sexiest man on the planet. Now while it’s true that rednecks are generally as dumb as breeze blocks, country music is anything but stupid, with the exception of mawkish religious songs such as Johnny Cash’s Being a Christian isn’t for Sissies. Country has always been

Redneck music is sexy and fun
STEVE GRAND: A sexy singer, songwriter and model from Chicago. able to poke fun, not only at itself but also at serious stuff - including religion. Take for example the satirical and very irreverent Austin Lounge Lizards. Favourites of mine are Jesus Loves Me but He Cant Stand You and
One True God. Country also contains a hell of a lot of contemporary social commentary. For example, given the rampant paranoia currently surrounding transsexuals and transvestites, it was pretty
brave of Rodney Carrington to re c ord D anc ing w ith a Man. ‘I think I’m dancing with a man / She’s got callouses on her hands / She’s got a voice deeper than mine / ‘She gets a stiffy when we
grind / I think I’m dancing with a man.’ Raunchy songs, of course, go back decades and Cole Porter, a master of the suggestive lyric, raised the hackles of the BBC back in 1930 with his enduring Love for Sale. This was banned by the corporation for its ambiguity about prostitution: ‘If you want to buy my wares, follow me and climb the stairs...’ In 1937 George Formby’s With My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock was only allowed to be played with certain sections removed. In 1953 Frankie Laine’s Answer Me was condemned as ‘a sentimental mockery of Christian prayer’ for the lines: ‘Answer me, Lord above / Just what sin have I been

guilty of? Tell me how I came to lose my love. Please answer me, oh, Lord.’ Sadly missing from my extensive collection of amusing and sexy songs spanning almost 100 years is an album called ‘Ben Bagley’s Cole Porter Revisited Volume 1’ in which a variety of artists perform 14 little-known Porter numbers. It was first released in 1964 and re-released as a CD in 1983. I lost it in my move to Spain in 2010 and I dearly would love to get a replacement. I found one on Amazon’s American site for a whopping $36.98, but I am loathe to buy anything from the US because import duties in Spain can almost double the cost of an item. There’s one too on Amazon’s UK site for £28.74. Also available on the site is Volume 3 of the series which would set me back £167.90! If anyone out there has any or all of the Cole Porter Revisited series and is willing to part with them for around 20 quid each, I would be ever so grateful.

ARE you by chance looking to build in Spain and need that all-important building permit? Well fear not. After 137 years, 10 architects, and millions of euros of administrative costs, Barcelona’s modernist masterpiece Antoni Gaudí’s Sagrada Familía has finally been granted one! In what has been satirised as the ultimate tale of sluggish bureaucracy, Barcelona City Hall gave the belated goahead for ongoing work on the basilica, expected to be completed in 2026. Now this has to be some sort of record: has the Guinness Book of Records been consulted? But seriously, how could the approval cost so much? Either it needed approval or it didn’t; surely a simple matter requiring just one meeting and discussion. Just as well that all the outstanding buildings of the past - the ancient Wonders of the World - were constructed before planning controls or red tape! While it was Spain’s King Carlos I who invented the system of tying official documents with red tape in the16th cen-

Barcelona’s Sagrada Familía finally gets building permit
BUILDING PERMIT: After 137 years. tury, it was his son, Felipe II, known as ‘El Rey Burócrata’ or ‘El Rey Papelero’ for his monomaniacal obsession with paperwork, who really took Spanish bureaucracy to another level. Every country’s got its share of bureaucracy, right? Here in Spain over the centuries, though, it’s been taken to a high art form. Take tourism, for instance. A report on
the situation of, and prospects for, Spain and tourism highlighted how much it costs in Spain to obtain a licence for a bar or restaurant and what it costs, for instance, in Germany (considerably less!). Not to mention, the length of time it takes to obtain that same licence in Spain (over 60 days) compared with other parts of Europe (usually less than one week in the UK). For many, Barcelona wouldn’t be Barcelona without the Sagrada Familía. For them, this UNESCO World Heritage Site IS one of the new Wonders of the World. Maybe just as well, then, it’s not dealing with a British council planning department which would have probably ordered its complete demolition...

LEGALLY SPEAKING Can he withhold the minutes? Our community consists of an aparthotel with 130 privately owned apartments. Three quarters of these are in a letting pool, which is run as a hotel by our managing agent, who is also the community administrator. Because of the conflict of interest and complicated money transfers, we agreed by a large majority at the AGM to split the residential community from the letting business. Our administrator disagreed so we called an EGM, which we won. We also had a notary and our lawyer attend. Now the administrator will not give us the official minutes book, which we need to get the minutes registered. I have been told that we can’t proceed with a court case against him until the minutes have been registered. Can you advise? L S (Costa Blanca)
The minutes are property of the YOU AND THE community and the LAW IN SPAIN administrator is obliged to deliver them to the president. If your administrator is a member of the official College of Property Administrators of your province, you can report him to the College. Any single member can go to court if he feels that his interests are harmed. Your situation is complex and you need good legal advice.

National Service LEAPY LEE, I know you have no hankering to be a politician but I wish more of ‘them’ would display a modicum of your common sense and ‘bottle.’ I could find no fault with your recent ‘What If’ manifesto; it was well thought out and presented, and only the socially inept could have found fault with any of it. Your most recent article in response to an ill-informed individual, with regards to the reintroduction of some form of National Service has inspired me to write to you. I am an ex-Infantryman who later became a firefighter and am proud to have voluntarily served both country and community. In the 1960s I was an indolent, disrespectful and troublesome inner city teenager with no ambition or direction in life. Any kind of jobs were scarce in my city and so I headed to the Army Recruiting Office one day... and it was one of the better decisions I have ever made in life. Your ignorant correspondent is totally wrong in thinking the Army churns out trained killers. It instills a sense of self discipline and absolute self-worth and confidence that lasts a lifetime. Perhaps it is people like your ‘ignorant correspondent’ who would have benefited most from a spell of National Service. But in closing let me point out that some European countries do have some form of National Service based on community service rather than military training. If only Mr Ignoramus had studied this subject a little deeper before writing to you. Chris Kelly

Who’s a prat? COMMENTING on the Spanish government’s plans to disinter and bury Franco’s remains elsewhere, reader Keith Wilkinson last week asked, “Would you support digging up a former head of state and dumping his body in an unmarked grave? That’s what these prats propose.” How does Mr Wilkinson feel about the way the reinstated Royalists dug up former head of state Oliver Cromwell in 1661, hung the corpse in chains and beheaded it for treason? Now they really were prats. Kind regards Lucy Harrison
HAVE YOUR SAY
A thought for the firemen THIS year is turning into a disastrous year when it comes to forest fires, with more than 57,000 hectares burned in Spain so far. And we haven’t even reached the end of August yet. This is more than three times more than in the same period of 2018. As this leader is being written, 9,000 people on Gran Canaria have been evacuated while 500 firefighters do their utmost to save their homes and the beautiful forests of the island. Hundreds more have been forced out of their properties on the Costa del Sol where another fire rages. For these people it must be a truly horrifying time. While they may be safe - and the authorities are to be commended for having plans in place to deal with such natural disasters - the worry of not knowing if they will have a home to return to must be a heavy one indeed. Apart from the capricious whims of nature, the only hope many people have for their possessions - in many cases quite literally everything they own - is the skill, endurance and bravery of the emergency services. And dangerous work it is too. Over the years many firefighters have died when trapped by the flames by a sudden change of wind. Pilots of the firefighting planes are at high risk too as they bombard the flames with water. We send them all our thanks and our prayers too.
Now we want to hear your views. YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE - YOUR OPINION www.euroweeklynews.com Readers who have missed correspondence can see all letters - which can be edited before publication - posted on: www.euroweeklynews.com.
Drink vendors in Benidorm Unfortunately I am very vocal and warn the buyers of these drinks of where and how they are made. Tell them, we r on a beach. Hi, where do u see these vendor’s station making these. No because there is nowhere on the beach probably just around the corner. These people look at me and immediately say overcrowded. Restaurant probably getting a cut back on these lethal drinks. All my friends stay safe, drink wisely.

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
Is someone trying to sidetrack you by casting doubt on a relationship or plan? Something is going on so make sure that you have all the facts. It would be gullible of you to take everything at face value. You have good supportive colleagues and may seek their advice. Be optimistic as the weekend comes and remember your sense of humour.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Showing confidence means others see you as being very much in control. They need to see that you can be trusted. If a plan is not going in the right direction, be prepared to change tack. Changes should not be made to financial plans until you are sure of your ground. Romantically, you are being admired.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) It is all go for you at the moment. Not only will you be particularly clear-thinking but your intellect will be sharp as a knife. Your enthusiasm spills over from your business life to personal matters, leading to a hectic and eventful time all week. When it comes to romance, a positive and dynamic approach stands you in good stead.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) It is now important that you are clear about the person you wish to spend your time with because you may have more than one option. Plans that you started last week are now showing progress. Keeping the pace growing is essential to beat rivals. It is not an easy week by any means but it should not be boring.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) A tendency to be emotional because of a setback should be avoided. When you feel the pressure rising, remember that nothing is worth risking your health for. Sound out friends and colleagues to avoid overreacting. It is a week when you realise how someone close is able to be a great help. The question is, can you accept it?
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) There is sensitivity in your chart. It is possible to overlook someone who needs your time and consideration. You are not a mind-reader and they may not
directly seek your help. Be aware, then, of how others are faring.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) When someone asks you this week where you are going, will you know the answer? You will make progress if you do. If you're not sure, then there is no point in going full steam ahead. This is a week to consider your options on all fronts, particularly in business.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)
Cartoon by Audrey Quinton www.audreyq.co.uk
A personal decision needs to be made. No major changes are necessary so long as you have a firm plan. It is not so much that caution is required, rather more that you should give yourself time to consider. In the longer term, you may see this week as a turning point. .
Women’s wit
‘
I love people. Everybody. I love them, I think, as a stamp collector loves with collection. Every story, every incident, every bit of conversation is raw material for me.” Sylvia Plath, poet
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is a week of planning and making changes. Some things click into place and you realise that you are on your way to completing an ambition. The trick is to manage it without upsetting people on the home front.
HERBAL REMEDY: Cologne was thought to ward off the bad smells believed to cause the plague.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Are you putting off a decision affecting others? This is a good time to take the bull by the horns. Keep an eye on finances involving younger people. Sometimes, you are better able to help in other ways, perhaps by giving encouragement or advice. .
Famous quote
DID YOU KNOW?
‘
A journey is a person in itself, no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip, a trip takes us.” John Steinbeck, writer
COLOGNE was originally developed as protection against the plague. Herbs and flowers are bound together and placed inside the masks of plague doctors as most Europeans believed diseases were spread by bad smells. The bundles went on to be sold throughout Europe as a hygiene aid because bathing was thought to be dangerous. All this culminated in the development of Eau du Cologne from a recipe containing rosemary, citrus essences and grape-based spirits designed to ward off the Black Death.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Your activities this week may seem to be ones best done alone. To a certain extent this is true. However, if you wish to make others feel important and gain their support in the future, you should involve them. You don't have to take advice which is given but be diplomatic when not acting on it. Hurt feelings can cost money.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Are you feeling less positive than usual? We all do at times. If energy is low get out for a long walk in a relaxing place. Perhaps watch a film that raises your spirits. There is about you a kind of regret and fondness for the past, but there is nothing wrong with sentimentality so long as it does not cloud your picture of the future. That can be bright indeed.

He begins to be visited by hallucinations of his past, including his boyhood in 1950’s Franco-era Spain including fishing trips with his father, uncle and younger brother. For a while Jose basks in the warm glow of fond memories. But the longer he spends dwelling on the past, the more dark memories, regrets and secrets begin to creep from his mind. Jose realises although he is facing death, much remains to be settled so he can pass with peace of mind. His three estranged sons return to his side as Jose begins a journey to understand the meaning of his life for himself and others in Richard C Morais’ The Man with No Borders.

The power of a dog or cat
JORIS PLU THE power of cats and dogs towards us human beings is enormous! We can easily call them fantastic counsellors with fur. No? They can, if you allow them, teach us so much about life in general. Each time I have spent time with an animal, any animal, I shake my head thinking to myself… these wonderful creatures can teach us humans so much about love, compassion, forgiveness. For instance dogs have special listening skills. Have a look at children and even adults how they ‘talk’ to dogs and how dogs just listen to them. Not judging. The power of listening, just being in the moment is extraordinary. Even between humans. Only we can talk back and we do most of the time. So dogs are teaching us how to really listen. Little children sometimes talk for minutes with a dog or a cat.
The cat most of the times runs away after a while. That is why they are called cats and not dogs. But back to the dogs and children. Next time you see this happening, watch them closely. See what happens and feel the energy between them. We may use the word amazing since that is what it is. In some hospitals they use dogs just to be with patients. Let them sit on the bed or wheelchair. You see them interact, giving love and attention. You see how patients start to smile, have their feel good hormone working harder and harder. Just being happy. Dogs decrease levels of stress hormones, lower blood pressure and many more things. Petting a dog will do so much more to our body… and theirs. It’s the same with cats, only slightly different. People love the way they purr. Some say it also releases stress and even pain. Cats

are more independent then dogs and that is why so many people just love them. They exist in a way they want to, in control of their own life. Some time ago a man told me he did not know if he likes a cat more over a dog but he said he liked one thing and that was the lesson a cat
gave him which was living a more independent life, following his own soul instead of following the
Active soap ANTI-BACTERIAL soaps are no more effective than plain soap at killing bacteria. A study by Korean scientists said there was ‘no significant difference’ between the effects of plain soap and its anti-bacterial counterparts under normal ‘reallife’ conditions. They examined the effect of triclosan, the active antiseptic ingredient commonly used and tested 20 strains on how well it killed bacteria. They found triclosan had killed significantly more bacteria after nine hours or more, but not during the short time required for hand washing. Then, they compared the ability of antibacterial and non-antibacterial soap to remove bacteria from human hands using 16 healthy adult volunteers and found ‘no significant difference’ between the two.
DETOX: Lighten up your toxin load.
Which detox is right? WHICHEVER detox you choose, the first thing to do is lighten up your toxin load. Eliminate alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugars and saturated fats, all of which act as toxins in the body and are obstacles to the healing process. Some believe the detox can be taken to the next level by minimising the use of chemical cleaners and chemical based healthcare products like shampoos and deodorants. Natural alternatives can be used instead.
Stress can have a hugely adverse impact on the body, triggering stress hormones into your system and can contribute to excess toxins in the system, so it is important during a detox to keep your mind calm and in a stress free environment. Practices such as yoga and meditation are simple and effective at reducing stress by bringing your body and mind into harmony. There are hundreds of detox programmes, recipes and regimes depending on your needs.
crowd. For me this was a very nice way of defining a cat. Why did I want to write this small column about dogs and cats? Because they have power! Look at them, talk to them, just be with them. Learn from them. Even if you are not so comfortable being very close to them, give yourself the chance to notice them longer then you ever did before in your life. Feel their power and put a big smile on your face since they prolong your life in a unique and good way. Let us be thankful for them living with us on this planet. Life would be totally different without them. Maybe there would be no life without them. Love animals. All of them.

How to avoid mosquito bites SUMMER time and the mossies are biting. Here are some ways to avoid being a meat feast for the mosquitoes. 1. Get rid of any standing water near your home. Mosquitoes can breed in just 14 days in a small amount of still water. If you have a pond, add a waterfall or fountain to keep the water moving or treat the water. Do not even leave a dog’s bowl outside full of water. 2. Keep mosquitoes outside. Use fly-screens on the windows to keep mosquitos from slipping in a window. Or if you don’t have screens, consider

getting a fine mosquito net to hang over your bed. 3. Use mosquito repellent. The most effective chemical repellents contain DEET, pi-
caridin, PMD, or IR3535 insecticide, which are all considered safe when used as directed. Just watch out for skin irritation and avoid spraying chemicals around the eyes or mouth. Concentrate the repellant on your ankles, feet, lower legs and wrists, which are the thinskinned areas mosquitoes love. 4. Wear light-coloured clothing. Apparently, darker colours like black, deep blue and red, stand out so they attract mossies. 5. Stay indoors during dusk and dawn. While mosquitoes can bite at any time of day, it’s wise to limit your exposure at their prime feeding times. If you can’t avoid being outdoors at these times of day, be sure to take some other precautions. 6. Make yourself less appealing. Scientists are still studying why some people get more mosquito bites than others.
Drinking a 12-ounce beer makes some people more appealing to the critters, so does having more bacteria on your skin. Apparently, mossies also like type O blood, now whilst you cannot change that, you can try wearing a scent that mosquitoes dislike. While DEET was most effective, researchers found Victoria’s Secret Bombshell perfume effectively reduced mosquito bites for two hours, even more than some mosquito repellents. 7. Try a natural repellent. Oil of lemon eucalyptus comes from a particular Australian eucalyptus tree (eucalyptus citriodora). Studies show it offers similar protection to products containing low concentrations of DEET. Other natural remedies include Lavender, Cinnamon oil, Thyme oil, Greek catnip oil, Soybean oil, Citronella tea, Tree oil, Geraniol and Neem oil.
A SKIN glow treatment is the latest trend in skin care technology. This method of skin care is a popular treatment all over Europe, producing amazing results. The BB Glow treatment is an intensive skin treatment that uses a Dermapen to penetrate the layers of the skin. This penetration GLOWING: Intensive treatment. stimulates natural collagen production as well as offering a myriad of other benefits. Collagen is a natural protein found throughout the body, and it helps to give structure, elasticity and vibrancy to your skin. Unfortunately, as we age, our body produces less collagen, which in turn leads to wrinkles, and a loss of skin elasticity and firmness. Stimulating collagen production can improve the look and texture of your skin and lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles quickly, safely and affordably. BB Glow treatments also supply your skin with BB serum, which is made from natural ingredients. The BB serum is applied with the Dermapen, which uses microneedles to penetrate the skin. Microneedles are so small they can barely be felt, and the treatment is gentle. The BB Glow treatment is designed to improve the look and feel of your skin fast, with visible improvements often discernable immediately after your first skin glow treatment. It improves your skin by clearing and unclogging your pores. It also speeds up the growth of new skin cells, which makes your skin healthier and brighter, and reduces the impact of ageing skin cells. Some of the improvements you may notice include: • Fewer freckles • Brighter, more radiant skin • A more even skin tone • Less skin discolouration • Fewer fine lines and wrinkles The most significant advantage of a skin glow treatment is how long it lasts. After your treatment, results can last up to four months. The treatment is safe, and the BB serum is free of parabens, fragrances, alcohol, and allergens. You’ll see results immediately, but the serum will also continue to work for two weeks after your treatment. Many clients repeat the treatment two or three times to maximise its effectiveness. At Derma Clinic Spain we now have a summer offer for this treatment. Visit us on Facebook or Instagram to see our offers, or call for your appointment.

THE days of bathroom cabinets packed with an array of skincare products could be over as British women grow tired of complicated facial skincare routines, according to the latest research from Mintel. Over the last year, almost three in 10 (28 per cent) women have reduced the number of products in their facial skincare routine, with young millennials aged 20-29 (54 per cent) most likely to have simplified their routines. In a move away from multi-step routines, the proportion of women using just one product to cleanse their face has risen from 25 per cent in 2018 to 28 per cent in 2019. Meanwhile, the proportion of women using four or more products to cleanse has fallen sharply from 26 per cent in 2018 to 18 per cent in 2019. The biggest facial cleansing casualties include facial cleansing wash (from 55 per cent to 50 per cent), as well as facial cleansing wipes (from 54 to 43) and facial toners (from 29 to 25). This comes as Mintel research reveals there has been a decline in the purchase of make-up, potentially led by reduced usage following the trend for naturally radiant skin. Indeed, some 31 per cent of women who wear make-up are buying colour cosmetics less frequently now compared to last year, and 19 per cent have spent less on the category in the last 12 months. Usage of facial care products has also taken a tumble in the last 12 months. The number of women using day cream/lotion declined from 66 per cent to 60 per cent; while night cream/lotion fell from 48 per cent to 44 per cent and blemish balm (BB), colour correct (CC) and daily defence (DD) cream slumped from 21 per cent in 2018 to 15 per cent in 2019. Overall, the women’s facial skincare market is expected to decline by nearly 1 per cent in 2019, falling to an estimated £1.16 billion from £1.17 billion in 2018.

NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England ONE of the most recognised words in the world in any language is Monaco. A place, a principality, a casino, even a way of life. Reputed to be the playground of playboys and the super-rich. Monaco is a place of very serious business too. A place where the ‘Ultra High Net Worth Individual,’ as described by their bankers, and their families come to see superyachts, buy superyachts and be seen to be looking at superyachts. Of course those who are only seriously wealthy will also come to Monaco during superyacht week of September from the 25th to the 28th this year when the Monaco Yacht Show will be doing a roaring business in the principality. Alongside buying and selling superyachts [average cost is now €27 million to build] there is a huge business in chartering them. Charter a superyacht by the week, month or even season.

fit again is no bad impulse. Superyachts are not at all like most other vessels of comparable size. For one thing they usually average just 300 hours of operations at sea per year. Superyachts only very rarely sail at the maximum speed that they are capable of, preferring to cruise at speeds that offer maximum comfort rather than speed. The Monaco Yacht Show is full, it cannot get any bigger, yet does seem to dominate the principality of Monaco for the week. The Monaco Yacht Show’s focus is to offer select visitors and the industry the ideal venue to meet and discuss their interests. Interests which include environmental issues as well as classic cars and submarines not only superyachts to explore the oceans of the world. Nick Horne, London, England
Businesswoman opens her heart FORMER restaurateur, TV stylist and writer Lisa Burgess has revealed how she feels her life has come to a dead end after being diagnosed with cancer, and is calling on the public to help her rebuild her life. Here’s her story in her own words…. I hit rock bottom very recently. So low I couldn’t see a way out of my situation. I felt I was a burden to everyone. I found a lump under my arm last September, 2018. Thought nothing of it, but my partner Joffrey Charles insisted I see a doctor. I almost wished I hadn’t. I was immediately whisked to a radiologist who blurted out in unrecognisable words “you have THE cancer.” It wasn’t just one tumour but 15. I immediately had a 10-hour operation including a mastectomy. I was living in full blown denial zone. The only serious laugh I had was after my operation the surgeon prescribed me paracetamol. I was in agony so my retort was “if someone cut off your penis would you prescribe that?” I then got proper medication and all the care here in Spain has been top notch even with my minimum ‘palabras.’ My partner and I owned a French restaurant in La Cala (Costa del Sol). Our journey was filmed by Channel 4 which
life is a dead end. I’ve set up a crowd funding page. How awful. I’ve been a TV stylist and writer and this is where I am. I feel embarrassed and humiliated. Here is my crowd funding page...

I want to rise like a phoenix from the ashes and be a success again. I don’t want to give up. I’m trying my very best.
NEWS UPDATE:

I’ve had eight months of chemo and this week start radiotherapy. When Joffrey lost his job last week I felt I couldn’t take any more. People can be so utterly mean. That’s where Michel Euesden and the Euro Weekly News come in. I reached out for help. Michel got Joffrey a job inter-

I’ve €70 to my name and just more treatment and three operations ahead of me. I’ve worked my whole life, but because Joffrey lost his contract I can’t get any help. I’ve tried every road and it seems my
EWN is delighted to announce that Joffrey has been given a contract working as a chef and the Go Fund Me Page has exceeded all expectations, raising over half of the €10,000 goal in just 24 hours.

The Marina Big Band.
Trad and Swing JAZZ continues to be very popular in Spain and this Friday and Saturday sees four jazz bands performing in the fifth Jazzdara Festival of Ondara. Each event will be free of charge and will welcome two different performers per night at the Plaça Major. The line-up will be as follows: Friday at 8.30pm Peter Gun and The Paper Hats all have a great affinity for the jazz of the first part of the 20th century and will in particular feature songs by 1920’s group the Boswell Sisters. They will be followed at 11.30pm by Nina Dynamite and the Swing Militia who not only play a selection of swing, but simply adore the music of Nina Simone, so be prepared for an explosive performance. Saturday at 8.30pm is the turn of Eva Olivencia and the Marina Big Band, a 21-piece orchestra which includes music by Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Thad Jones and Dizzie Gillespie as well as more recent composers and arrangers.

Top tributes
NOSTALGIC MUSIC: The Rolling Stones Story.
NOSTALGIA and music will be the watchwords at the Benidorm Palace this autumn as two tribute shows to the Rolling Stones and Roy Orbison take place in October and November. First on Sunday October 13 is the Rolling Stones Story, a group who chart the musical journey of one of the greatest bands who have now spanned seven decades with almost no changes in line-up. Currently on a mega tour with 36 concerts, the band will be making just one stop in Benidorm when they bring their masterful show to the Palace where they perform all of the best and most popular songs from this band’s illustrious career. On stage you will see Mick Jagger lookalike Paul Ashworth, who from the age of 16 was constantly being mistaken for Mick and you would certainly believe that this was the real singer as the band itself incorporates the current line-up of Mick, Keith Richards, Ron-
nie Wood and Charlie Wood and adds Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman to the mix Then on Sunday November 17, Barry Steele when the West End performer presents the Roy Orbison Story’ This will be a night of top hits as Barry, supported by a cast of first class musicians and singers celebrate and commemorate the musical legacy of ‘The Big O’ and his friends. It’s not just a simple production of Roy’s old hits, but Barry presents original material written but never sung by the artist. With many admirers of the songs that he had written, the show will include a selection of work that was first made famous by other artists as well as a section devoted to his time as a member of The Traveling Wilburys. Both shows cost just €25 per person (with an optional meal costing €8) and tickets are available at Benidorm Palace or by calling 965 851 660.
Curtis on Tour 2019 THE Philadelphia-based Curtis Institute of Music returns to Teulada to present its seventh concert at the Auditori Teulada Moraira on Wednesday September 25. Every year, the Institute takes 175 students who can enjoy learning from some of the best classical musician tutors around and all this is supplied free of charge. As part of their learning process, they perform up to 200 concerts a year in Philadelphia, but also travel to different parts of the world performing to suitably impressed audiences and for this concert which starts at 8pm their programme will include works by Beethoven, Ravel and Schubert.
The Horn Section at a previous concert.
Tickets which cost €10 may be purchased via Instanticket online or from the Auditorium box office. Past experience has
shown that these concerts, featuring some of the great up and coming musicians of the future tend to sell out very quickly.

www.euroweeklynews.com MOTORING FACT THE Subaru Outback is now in its 25th year. Originally released in 1995, this crossover vehicle combines SUV and passenger car attributes and this year enters its sixth-generation. Throughout its history, the Outback has offered core values such as safety, comfort, versatility and quality, with its own unique character. The new Outback has evolved once again by adding the latest technologies on top of the traditional Outback attributes. The all-new Outback is powered by either a 2.4-litre turbocharged Boxer engine delivering strong torque output from low RPM or a 2.5-litre normallyaspirated Boxer engine with improved efficiency thanks to direct injection system. Combined with the new engine is the Subaru Global Platform which optimises the body rigidity, and Outback’s reputable dynamic performance, which has been further enhanced as a result. In addition, Subaru’s exclusive EyeSight driver assist system comes standard in all trims and is now equipped with the Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control including new Lane

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher THE world’s all-time bestselling car is the Toyota Corolla with global sales of more than 44 million, and the latest version seems set to boost this remarkable sales total. The 2019 Corolla’s full-hybrid status - it can run on electric power only - gives it a head start on ‘mild’ hybrid rivals which do not store power, and new body styling gives the car a more purposeful look and a new chassis delivers a lower centre of gravity which improves ride quality and handling. Corolla prices start at €23,761 (£21,305) for reasonably kitted models, but you need to move up the range to get more comfort, convenience and safety features. My test model was an Excel specification which includes sat-nav, online connectivity, rear-view camera, dual-zone air-conditioning and partleather upholstery. Safety features include pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lanedeparture warning, auto high-

beam, hill-start assist and tyrepressure warning. This version is €30,503 (£27,350). With a 1.8-litre petrol engine and electric motor giving 120 hp, the 0-100 kph time is 10.9 seconds and top speed 180 kph (112 mph). Emissions are very low at 83 g/km and average fuel economy is 21.4 kpl (60.5 mpg).

Model tested was UK-specification and equipment levels and prices may vary in other markets.
Underway, the Corolla provides smooth progress with excellent ride quality and the new chassis enhances the handling, with grippy cornering and good steering feedback. The auto transmission makes seamless changes and with its easy and effortless manner, the Corolla displays outstanding driving dynamics.
The car has three driving modes - EV is electric power only for use in city traffic or over short distances; Eco allows the car to automatically select the optimum blend of petrol and electric, and Power is for when you need faster more sporty response. Inside, there is ample occupant space front and rear and the 351-litre boot, though not largest in the class, is perfectly adequate for typical everyday requirements and can be greatly enlarged by dropping the splitfold rear seats. The revised design gives Corolla a crouched and more potent appearance which helps it stand out in what is often a very conventionally-styled family car sector, and with its hybrid credentials and Toyota’s solid reputation for durability, the Corolla will have no difficulty in significantly boosting that epic 44 million sales total.

FOR the first time in 10 years Barcelona - missing the injured Lionel Messi - did not win their first match of the season. Barcelona’s 2019-20 La Liga campaign, and their quest for a third straight domestic title, began with a 10 loss away to Athletic Bilbao. The match result came down to a goal from 38-year-old Aritz Aduriz who connected with a spectacular bicycle kick from 14 yards out to snatch an unexpected win. Real Madrid on the other hand won comfortably 1-3 despite playing for 40 minutes with just 10 men after Luka Modric saw red. Goals from Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos and Lucas Vasquez were enough to overcome Celta Vigo. Gareth Bale started and played for 75 minutes. Celta Vigo enjoyed the majority of possession, but could not cope with the quality in the Madrid team. Valencia had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad after Kevin
SCORED: Morata grabbed the win for Atletico. Gameiro missed a penalty that would have put them 2-0 up. To make matters worse Mikel Oyarzabal made no mistake when Sociedad were themselves awarded a spot kick in the last minute of the game. Valencia now play Celta Vigo while Sociedad head to Mallorca. Game of the weekend was the eight-goal thriller between Villareal and Granada. The 4-4 draw proved to
be the most entertaining game on Saturday. Santi Carzorla - looking fresh and fit - opened the scoring with a penalty on 35 minutes. Atletico Madrid striker Álvaro Morata scored a goal and missed a penalty, but it was enough for Atletico to take all three points at home to Getafe on Sunday. Morata nodded home a cross from England defender Kieran Trippier in the 23rd minute. Getafe’s Jorge Molina was shown a straight red card for a studs-up challenge in the 38th minute, but just four minutes later debutant left back Renan Lodi earned two yellow cards in the space of 60 seconds. Atletico’s João Félix thrilled the crowd with a superb run in the second half which led to him winning a penalty but Morata’s spot-kick was saved. Elsewhere, Sevilla beat Espanyol 2-0, while Real Betis were surprisingly beaten at home by Real Valladolid 2-1.
Spain takes Rugby silver SPAIN’S Rugby Sevens youngsters have taken silver in the hard-fought European Championship. The Under-18s squad can look back on an excellent tournament where they beat five teams including Georgia, Portugal and Germany only to fall at the final hurdle, losing the final to Ireland 26-12. It means they have improved on last year’s finish of third in the European Championship, and leaves the coaches satisfied with the progress being made by the young players. Having been together as a squad for a
while now, these youngsters have been able to blend in and trust each other as true veterans. In the final, the Spanish players gave everything they had left in the tank and at times were on top of a very good Irish team. In fact, they went into the break 7-12 up, which was a fair reflection of the play. But Spain had no answer when Ireland upped their game in the second half. The Irish deployed all their attacking potential, skilfully creating holes in the Spanish defence and scoring three unanswered tries to take the crown.

Ready to cycle WORLD champion Spaniard Alejandro Valverde, the Colombian Nairo Quintana, winner of La Vuelta in 2016 and the Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz, champion of the last Giro d’Italia, head the official formation of the Movistar team for the Tour de España, which begins this Saturday, August 24 in Torrevieja. The team led by Eusebio Unzúe will participate for the 40th time in the Tour of Spain. For this 74th edition of La Vuelta, which will conclude on September 15, Movistar will also have Marc Soler, Imanol Erviti, Nelson Oliveira, Jorge Arcas and Antonio Pedrero in the team. José Luis Arrieta and Pablo Lastras will be the sports directors of the team, which has been participating uninterruptedly in La Vuelta since 1980. Since its debut under the name Reynolds, the team has won four times, had 12 podiums, 61 stage victories and 10 team successes. Their first winner was Pe-
dro Delgado, in 1989, followed by Abraham Olano (1998) and then Valverde and Quintana. On Saturday the first stage will start in the Salinas de Tor-
revieja and will run through the municipality in a first stage as a team time trial. For Valverde it is almost a home stage as he comes from Murcia.
SPORT By Dilip Kuner IT may have been billed as an exhibition match, but there was a lot on the line when Spain took on the world number one ranked nation at basketball. With just two weeks to go before the FIBA World Cup it was an opportunity for Spain to see just how far they are behind the USA, who reign supreme in the sport. The USA team included some of the NBA’s better young players and showed plenty of determination, good ball movement and excellent defence as they beat Spain 90-81. But although it was a loss, Spain did gain the respect of their opponents. USA coach Gregg Popovich said: “I thought the Spanish team was just astounding with all the offence that they ran the way they execute. The way they read each other, you can really see the experience. We hope to

EXHIBITION: Spain took on the USA.
Will he or won’t he? Alonso stays mum WE are still waiting for it to be officially confirmed that Fernando Alonso will compete in the 2020 Dakar rally. But strangely enough we now know who his co-driver will be. W h i l e A l o n s o ’s d r i v e i s p r o b a b l y t h e world’s worst kept secret, the identity of his co-driver is a surprise. Marc Coma is taking the second seat. He is no stranger to the event having won the motorcycle category no less than five times in 2006, 2009, 2011, 2014 and 2015. Just after his last triumph, he decided to stop competing and become part of the organisation of the event, helping in the design of the route. Since the beginning of this year he has also been general manager of KTM in Spain. But according to France TV, Coma has already had some preparatory sessions during the summer with Toyota. So, the official confirmation that Fernando Alonso will be in Saudi Arabia for the Dakar 2020 seems just around the corner. If he does take the seat, Alonso will be Toyota’s third official driver, sharing the team with 2009 champion Giniel De Vil-
get close to something like that offensively. And it’s going to be difficult in this short time. But it was a great example for us to see that.” It was the defence and rebounding that overcame the small hiccups in the Americans’ play. The USA never trailed after taking a 10-8 lead with six minutes, 47 seconds left in the 10-minute first quarter, but that doesn’t mean it was easy after that point. Although the Americans were up by double digits for most of the game, Spain did pull back to within eight a couple of times. Marc Gasol and Ricky Rubio, two of the handful of NBA players in the Spanish squad, led their team in scoring with 19 and 16 points, respectively. The final Spanish push came when Sergio Llull (11 points, six assists) sank a three-pointer to trim the US advantage to 80-72 with 4:13 left in the game but the USA soon struck back to ensure they finished on top.
VICTORY: Real Madrid get off to a perfect start, despite Hazard’s injury.
Real Madrid’s Eden Hazard out of La Liga opener By Dilip Kuner DRIVING FORCE: Alonso is highly rated by Toyota. liers and Nasser Al-Attiyah, winner of the 2011 Dakar with Volkswagen, 2015 with Mini and 2019 with Toyota. In addition, the Toyota team could become even more Spanish, as for the past week there has been talk of the possibility of Alex Haro, Nani Roma’s current co-driver, joining the Japanese team. At first it seemed that he could be Fernando Alonso’s own co-driver, but it seems that Toyota prefers to put Haro alongside another expert like De Villiers.
REAL MADRID’S season has taken an early blow as star signing Eden Hazard was ruled out of the season opener due to a thigh injury sustained in Friday’s training session. He missed the first game of the season against Celta Vigo with an injury to his anterior tendon in his left thigh, but it is not known how long the Belgian will be out for. Hazard, aged 28, joined Real Madrid in June from
Chelsea for a club record €100 million in what has been a record-breaking off season for the club who have spent more than €300 million on new recruits. Real Madrid kicked off their new campaign three players down after fellow winger Marco Asensio was sidelined due to a serious knee injury and Dani Carvajal was suspended. The depleted team however did not look to struggle against Vigo with a convincing away 3-1 victory.
Welshman Gareth Bale proved he was still a force to be reckoned with after a surprise call up from manager Zinedine Zidane. Karim Benzema opened the scoring after 12 minutes, Toni Kroos landed a spectacular long range second and Lucas Vazquez sealed the victory in the 80th minute after a flawless team play. Zidane’s team will now seek to increase their early advantage in the championship as they take on Real Valladolid.
