COSTA DE ALMERÍA YOUR PAPER, YOUR VOICE, YOUR OPINION
ALMERIA wants to keep up the momentum of the city’s 2019 national gastronomy capital status. With a view to seeing the provincial capital widely recognised as a top ‘foodie’ tourist destination, the city council has devised a fresh marketing strategy for next year. Speaking at the inauguration of the fourth ‘Almeria beyond 2019 Ideas Forum, city mayor Ramon Fernandez-Pacheco unveiled a new slogan for 2020: ‘Almeria Ciudad Gastronomica. Para comersela,’ translating more or less as ‘Almeria Gastronomy City. Irresistible.’ The council leader revealed there will be a new headquarters in the city’s central market for activities promoting cuisine. Also on the agenda is an annual gastronomy congress, which promises to bring together top professionals and the best of national cooking. Further plans to appeal to

itage and cuisine and strengthening the connection between health and diet under the slogan ‘Almeria puerta de dieta mediterranea,’ or Almeria gateway to the Mediterranean diet.
The mayor said the Almeria Gastronomy City project would form the provincial capital’s main promotional platform at the next FITUR international tourism fair in Madrid.

ALMERIA Council has taken emergency action to get rid of plagues of mosquitoes. The city authority agreed as an exceptional measure to contract a pest control company to deal with the swarms of mozzies which have appeared in many areas following last month’s torrential rains and flooding. The council has taken on the firm until the end of the year at a cost of nearly €86,000. The company has already started on treatments in La Fabriquilla, La Almadraba, Cabo de Gata, Pujaire, Retamar, El Toyo, El Alquián, La Cañada and Costacabana. City Environment Sustainability councillor Margarita Cobos said the company was carrying out urgent treatment followed up by maintenance in a combined area of some 300 hectares. Also that the treatments would be Monday to Friday, but at weekends and on public holidays if necessary. As well as mosquitoes, the treatment is aimed at controlling flies and rodents. The councillor explained the company uses a full range of equipment and vehicles, including jet sprays, boats and drones, but “always respecting the environment and providing the necessary information on actions to residents.” She said the council expected a “return to normality” as water continued to go down in the most affected areas, while at the same time the “mosquitoes creating such a nuisance” are eliminated.

MAGNIFICENT MALAGA INDEX A ROSE-TINTED sky is the celestial backdrop to Malaga Cathedral that towers over the rooftops of residences in the city’s old town. LA MANQUITA, as Malaga C ath ed ral is a ffec tiona te ly k n o w n , is th e s ec ond highe s t Cathedral in Andalucia. Its nickname, which roughly translates in English as ‘The onearmed lady,’ reflects the fact that the building, on which work beg an aro u n d 1 5 8 2 , w a s ne ve r completed and the south tower remains unfinished. The reason it was never finished is a typically Spanish tale of financial irregularity. There was, it seems, no shortage of money to complete the project. However, according to a plaque at the base of the tower, money raised by the parish for the purpose was instead sent to fund the War of Independence in th e A me ric a s to h e lp fre e 13 colonies from British Rule. But parish records suggest that the money was actually used to repair a roadway, known as the Way of Antequera, rather than for the cause of liberation. The building site was a former mosque that was consecrated as the church of Santa Maria se la E n ca rn ac io n w h en R oma n C ath o lic tro o p s d e fe a te d the Moors in 1487. It is built in the Renaissance s ty le to a d e s ig n b y D ie go de Siloe in a rectangular form with a Baroque façade. The magnificent 17th century choir stalls inside in mahogany and cedar wood were designed by Luis Ortiz. After his death the 40 saints that overlook the stalls were completed by artisan carpenter Pedro de Mena.

Teenage muggers
Would-be thief
FOUR suspected teenage muggers are under arrest for targeting a young victim in Roquetas de Mar. The Guardia Civil said they detained the 16 to 19-yearolds in connection with a June incident when around nine youngsters picked on another teenager. According to the victim, the group surrounded him. As well as getting away with the money he had in his wallet, they took his mobile phone and an envelope containing €200 he had collected from friends to celebrate the San Juan fiestas. The Guardia said Roquetas Local Police identified one of the suspects, and urged the victim, a minor, to report the crime. A lengthy investigation based on the victim’s and witness statements led to the four arrests of the El Ejido teenagers, one of them under-age. The Guardia said the investigation remained open with the expectation of identifying other members of the group.
A TEENAGE would-be thief is under arrest after HuercalOvera Local Police caught him trying to break into a property. A call to the police station alerted officers that someone was whacking the door of a home on Calle Cipres with a blunt object to try and get in. When officers arrived at the two-storey property, at which there is a ground-floor garage and first-floor living accommodation, they found the building’s entry door was open. There were clear signs the door had been forced. Meanwhile there were louds bangs coming from inside. When officers went up to the first floor they came across the young man with a hammer and a screwdriver in his hands which it looked like he had been using to get through the door and into the home. The teenager, identified, as QEM, now faces charges for attempted robbery.

THE Wild West is back in Tabernas. The Almeria Western Film Festival (AWFF) rolls into town today, Thursday October 10, promising a real treat for lovers of the genre. This, the ninth edition of the festival, features screenings of eight films; it will be the European premieres for five of the movies. There will also be 13 short films from countries as varied as Brazil, Mexico, Canada, France, Colombia, the US and the UK, as well as Spain. There will be a fistful of prizes. The Desierto de Tabernas award goes this year to Fresno Films, the Malaga-based producer which used Almeria to shoot scenes for Game of Thrones, Exodus and Terminator 6. British scriptwriter and actor Alex Cox will pick up the Tabenas en Cine recognition. Speaking at the festival presentation, Tabernas mayor Jose Diaz explained Cox is a huge fan of Westerns and of the municipality, and even had a home there for a number of years. Cox co-wrote 1980’s Spaghetti Western parody Straight to Hell. Filmed largely in Almeria, what became a cult film boasted a rock royalty cast including Joe Strummer of The Clash, Kurt Cobain’s widow Courtney Love, Elvis

Costello and Grace Jones. Hollywood legend Dennis Hopper also starred. Diputacion de Almeria Culture and Cinema deputy Manuel Guzman said the event had four main objectives: “to highlight the importance of the cinematographic legacy of the province and of Tabernas, to make the evolution of the genre known, to create a leisure and intercultural event and to promote - and how could it be otherwise - the province as a film location.” Guzman also spoke about the provincial administration’s backing for the audiovisual sector, maintaining “Almeria
is a land of cinema and the support for this industry is plain in the Diputacion’s roadmap and the assistance given for shoots in the province, the creation of audiovisual works and in the support for festivals such as this.” Junta de Andalucia delegate in Almeria Maribel Sanchez said the Andalucia government also gave the AWFF its full support, which she said “strengthens the role of Almeria as a setting for different shoots and also as a cinematographic tourist destination.” Parallel to the film screenings the festival features a series of other activities,
including book presentations and a debate chaired by journalist Javier Tolentino which will be broadcast nationally on ‘El septimo vicio’ about cinema. There will be a festival inaugural procession, photography exhibitions, a Western tapas route and a Western shop window competition. Live performances during the festival will include London singer Sarah Vista, another big fan of the province, who describes herself on Facebook as an ‘outlaw songstress’ for ‘lovers of Spaghetti Westerns, movie soundtracks and dark, dangerous County and Western.’
Celebrating prettiness NIJAR and Mojacar have been celebrating their recognition as two of the
most attractive villages in the country. The two localities joined other
member villages around Spain in marking the annual Prettiest Village in Spain Day on October 1 with commemorative events. Having only officially become part of the ‘Los Pueblos Mas Bonitos de España’ (Prettiest Village in Spain) association at the end of last year, this was a first for Nijar. Mayor Esperanza Perez Felices described the prettiest village initiative as “a stamp of quality,” which highlighted the material and non-material heritage of a village with an extensive history.” The mayor stressed it was the residents who were the “true protagonists and custodians” of Nijar’s history and heritage. The day’s activities came to a close with the raising of the Prettiest Village in Spain flag and the reading out of the association’s manifesto. Nijar’s prettiest village day celebrations in fact began the previous weekend with a council-organised free guided tour round

The local Museo de Agua located in the municipal tourist office remained open to give visitors the opportunity to find out more about the important role water has played Nijar’s cultural traditions. Mojacar, one of the original members of the Prettiest Village in Spain association after it was founded in 2011, also organised events to coincide with the celebrations, including gallery visits and guided tours. On the day itself, Tourismcouncillor Emmanuel Agüero gave an address at midday be-
fore raising the association flag in the town hall square. The councillor highlighted the heritage of small municipalities like Mojacar, which still retains its traditions, typical cooking and a connection with its origins. He called on public administrations to financially assist such areas, with tax breaks for companies and the self-employed, as well as improvements to communications, telecommunications and services. This would, he said, help prevent further depopulation and provide a better future, especially for young people.

Anti-social behaviour ADRA Council has p ro c e s s e d 1 5 0 c o m p l a i n t s for anti-social behaviour in two months. The local authority said this was the result of action launched back in the summer to try and ensure residents respect basic regulations on issues like rubbish disposal and pets. The council statement followed a meeting between the Urban Cleaning and Safety and Mobility councillors Jose Crespo and Patricia Berenguel with the managers of the municipal cleaning service and Local Police to assess what it described as the ‘intolerable’ behaviour of a few which is a nuisance to many. The council said most of the complaints related to issues like letting dogs run free on the streets and not clearing up their excrement, and putting our rubbish outside the regulation hours.
“The council is working to have an increasingly better municipality, to make the service more effective, but it is also important for citizens to do their bit,” Jose Crespo commented. It was also agreed at the meeting to intensify actions in approximately 20 different locations. The Safety and Mobility mentioned other behaviour which had been sanctioned in recent months, including throwing bottles and waste water on the streets, urinating in a public place and gatherings of youngsters in public areas to drink alcohol. She also thanked the Local Police and the cleaning service for their hard work, and stressed the administration would “continue on this line of work, trying to catch out all the bad habits happening in the Adra municipality which we love.”

NOT YET: The PP said now was not the right time to reduce the property tax and water rates.
Tax and water tariff pledge V E R A’ S g o v e r n i n g conservative Popular Party says it will reduce taxes and water tariffs, but not yet. Commenting on the PP’s decision to vote against an opposition PSOE-A Municipal Socialist Group proposal put forward at last week’s plenary meeting to reduce the IBI property tax from the current 0.59 to 0.53 per cent, party spokesperson Catiana Sorianao said that now was not the right time. Soriano said the PP had included a reduction in taxes and water tariffs in its electoral programme, but insisted, “we cannot implement these measures without a prior study which gives us the appropriate time and percentage of a reduction to apply without generating budget instability for the municipality.” She maintained the reduction in the tax rate “would mean reducing the
council’s income for undertaking new projects by nearly €900,000.” The PP spokesperson also maintained her party is “working so that the money and municipal surplus impact on residents, but without reducing the quality municipal services and benefits which all Vera people deserve.” Vera PSOE reacted to the rejection of the IBI reduction proposal by accusing the PP of ‘deception.’ A party statement said the PP ‘falls short with a generic and wishful thinking announcement on its intention to lower taxes without saying how or when.’ The local PSOE claimed a six point reduction in the municipal IBI rate would put it at the provincial average according to estimations based on Tax Ministry figures taken from the land r e g i s t r y. “ O n h a v i n g a p proved the proposal nearly 30,000 owners, residents
and non-residents, would have benefited from a substantial saving,” commented Socialist spokesman Martin Gerez. In an earlier statement Martin Gerez argued that t h e “ c o u n c i l ’s e c o n o m i c and financial strength, based on the nearly non-existent existing bank debt and the excellent balance of the liquid assets make it the ideal moment to reduce the tax burden.” The PSOE statement also s a i d Ve r a h a s t h e f o u r t h highest number of urban estates among Almeria’s municipalities: 30,166 according to recent figures, PSOE asserted, with more than 29,000 taxpayers and a combined property tax value of nearly €1,600 million. PSOE said it was in favour of an IBI cut so it would be residents, as taxpayers, who benefited from the “optimum state of the municipal accounts.”

Speaking at the presentation of the competition last week, provincial Youth deputy Maria Luisa Cruz underlined the importance for the province of staging these kind of events. “These tests develop in the participants speed reading, visual memory, photographic capacity, promoting ingenuity and imagination at the same time as demanding great attention and concentration,”
TOOLS: The provincial Youth deputy said this kind of event helps participants develop useful skills for passing exams. she commented. “These abilities contribute to the development of participants’ self-esteem and self-assurance, and are of huge use for children and teenagers in regard to passing exams and tests of all kinds,” she added. Roquetas Education, Culture and Youth councillor Juanjo Salvador h ig h lig h ted the pa rtic ipa tion of nine-time world champion Ramon Campayo. “His presence, knowledge and the tools he communicates are going to be of enormous help for young peo-
ple in Roquetas de Mar and the rest of the province,” he maintained. “They say rapid memory is not an e nd in its e lf, but a me a ns w hic h opens up for us an amount of infinite possibilities,” observed Chamber of Commerce representative Victor Cruz. He pointed out the methods are also useful for the elderly as a way of retaining active memories. The World Rapid Memory Championship is held every two years. This will be the second time it has been staged in Spain.
KEEPING WATCH: Equinac volunteers worked with Local Police and Guardia Civil officers to ensure no member of the public tried to pull the tuna out the sea.
Dead tuna washes up in Mojacar A DEAD tuna washed up on a Mojacar beach. Volunteers with the Equinac marine life rescue association worked with Local Police and Guardia Civil officers to ensure no member of the public tried to pull the tuna out of the sea and take the body, or part of it, with the idea of either selling or consuming it. After the volunteers and officers retrieved the dead fish from in front of the Hotel Indalo it was the municipal cleaning services which had the job of taking the dead body away. This was the latest in a series of dead red tuna fish to appear on the Almeria coast in the weeks since September’s extreme weather, which produced torrential downpours and flooding. They are believed to have been swept towards the province from a fish farm in Murcia, which was badly damaged in the storms. The emergency ser vices and the company which has sunbeds on the beach in the Hotel Indalo area first alerted Equinac to the dead tuna, initially thinking it was a beached dolphin. Commenting on the incident on its Facebook page, Equinac warned of the potential health risks of eating dead fish washed up on shore and issued a reminder it is illegal to sell them.

BREXIT EXTRA
BREXIT BRIEF
ALTHOUGH opinion polls are no longer treated as if they are carved in stone, regular tracking polls with the same questions being asked every week are quite enlightening. In the case of the YouGov organisation, their regular enquiry as to how people thought that the government would meet the Brexit deadline has seen some huge swings of opinion. Back in July just 27 per cent of those canvassed expected the deadline to be met but, following the election of Boris Johnson as Conservative Party leader, this climbed to 45 per cent by early September. Now in the latest poll the expectation is down to 26 per cent but in another poll, a very high percentage of Conservative and Brexit Party voters do not consider, should an extension be required, that the Prime Minister is to blame as his hands are tied by Parliament.
Decision imminent LAST week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Parliament what amended proposals he had submitted to the EU in order for a Brexit deal to be agreed. Opposition party leaders were not supportive of the latest offers and it also appeared that EU negotiators were not convinced that they would be accepted. The PM spent much of the weekend on the telephone canvassing support from many of the European Heads of State. Following a conversation with France’s President Macron, it appears that a decision could be made as soon as tomorrow (Friday October 11). Officials welcomed what they referred to as ‘advances,’ but still have a number of problems with the

Sibling support AFTER losing the support of both his brother and sister, Boris Johnson had some good news from another of his team’s siblings, this time Jacob Rees-Mogg’s sister Annunziata, who is a Brexit Party MEP. She welcomed the new Brexit proposals contradicting party leader Nigel Farage.
Irish fears
BREXIT: Time for talking almost over. proposed new ‘divorce’ settlement. The new plan will see Northern Ireland stay in the European single market for goods but leave the customs union - resulting in new customs checks. In the event that the proposals are rejected, and the sticking point could well be over that border between Eire and Northern Ireland,
then there would, in theory, still be time for further negotiation before October 19 when the ‘Benn Law’ requires the PM to request a further delay in leaving. Despite Mr Johnson’s repeated statements that Britain would leave with no deal on October 31 and that he would rather be “dead in a ditch” than ask for a delay,
government papers submitted to a Scottish court said that he will comply with the law. Teams of British and EU government negotiators continue to meet in order to find the basis for a deal but, claiming to have made significant compromises, Britain says the EU side has to also compromise.
A REPORT from the ESRI organisation in Ireland suggests that a no-deal Brexit could push the Republic into unexpected recession and believes that their government should produce a new budget aimed at coping with such a result.
Jobs available DESPITE all of the no-deal rhetoric, both the Conservative Party and at least one Brexit Party MEP are reportedly advertising for staff to work with them in Brussels from November onwards as part of their European Parliament staffing.

The local authority Culture department-organised trip was recognition for the young musicians’ hard work throughout the year. Cartaya in Huelva served as the main base for the 48 band members who went along on the four-day trip, although their first stop was in Malaga to take in the famous Cirque de Soleil show. Over the border in Portugal, the youngsters visited the stunning city of Faro and had a day at the country’s largest theme park. They then had a chance to show off their skills and energy on a full range of multi-adventure activities, like climbing, zip lines, kayaks, surfing, biking and obstacle circuits.

IMPRESSED: The council said the park improvements were advancing in leaps and bounds.
Cross riders first AN Adra park will have the municipality’s first Cross Riders circuit. The local council is setting up the circuit in the Parque del Canal as part of a series of works to update and create new facilities in the park. It will have different levels and will be aimed at cyclists, BMX riders, skaters and skateboarders. Visiting the park last week, Mayor
Manuel Cortes described the transformation as “impressive.” The mayor said it will be “a large area for enjoying open-air sport, relaxing or simply having fun” which would be for all Adra’s residents of all ages and not just those living in the immediate area. As well as the cross riders’ track there will be a children’s play area, a mini basketball court, a sand track, a street workout
zone with six exercise machines and an area with bio-health equipment. The council is also installing LED lighting at the park and an electronically programmed irrigation system. The Parque del Canal project has an investment of more than €110,000, 80 per cent financed by the European Regional Development Fund and 20 per cent by Adra Council.

Detailing the findings, Spanish Gastronomy Capital Almeria 2019 director general Pedro Palacio said the calculations put the number of people who had “received the message and had therefore been made aware of Almeria, its cooking and its quality products” was more than 345 million. Palacios also predicted Almeria will have gained more promotional impact by the time its year as national food capital is up than the previous title holder Leon.
“In terms of gastronomy acts and events Almeria has positioned itself as the most active and dynamic capital,” he commented. Referring to the important role of the provincial horticulture and agro food sectors, the director general praised Almeria for “having known how to implement a specific projection and support strategy for quality agro food products, the real cutting edge of Spanish gastronomy.” Palacios remarked that the promotional “golden moment” of the year so far was the broadcast of an edition of the Spanish version of Masterchef from the city earlier this year. He also highlighted Almeria’s successful attempt to create the w o r l d ’s b i g g e s t e v e r tomato gazpacho.

Dr Google ONE in two Spaniards consult Dr Google following a medical appointment, according to a new study. The ‘BarometrosobreAutocuidado’ health self-care products company report reveals that 48.8 per cent of people in Spain are so-called ‘e-patients.’ Further indicating that in today’s world the internet plays a major role in how
people approach looking after their own well-being, the study found that nearly 77 per cent of Spaniards regularly look up self-care related matters on the web. Approximately 50 per cent of the health information looked up online is on professionals’ blogs or professional pages, although around 27 per cent use Wikipedia as a source, the study concluded.
It also found that one in four look up health-related issues on blogs in which the general public can participate. Nearly two-thirds of those interviewed for the survey said they have a treatable chronic medical condition. One in four said they suffered from backache, 16 per cent said they get migraines and nearly 14 per cent reported they have high blood pressure.
Greengrocer scams €26,000 A GREENGROCER in Hospitalet (Barcelona) allegedly took advantage of the vision problems of a 90-year-old man to defraud him of €26,000 in a scam that lasted a year. The method of the scam was very rudimentary. The owners are accused of putting an extra zero on the amount charged when entering details into a credit card machine. The scammers took advantage of the victim’s vision problems and the fact that he al-
ways paid with a card and did not realise what was being spent. The victim’s daughter discovered the scam when she saw that her father’s card was out of funds. She took her father to his bank, and that’s where they realised what was going on. Just €8,000 has been returned by the shop’s owners, who no longer run the establishment. The case is now pending trial.

Organ donation 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. As of 2010, Spain has operated an ‘opt-out’ (or presumed consent) system for deceased organ donation. This addresses the rate or refusal of potential donors or their families in giving permission for the use of organs. The rate of family refusal in Spain is 13 per cent, compared to 37 per cent in England (according to the National Transplant Organisation figures - ONT). According to the ONT, Brits living in Spain are more likely to donate their organs than their countrymen back home. It’s not necessary to have a donor card. What is important is to let family members and loved ones know your wishes in terms of organ donation. Figures published by the Spanish ONT in 2017 put the country as world leader in donation and transplants, reaching a new record with 46.9 donors per million people and 5.261 transplants. Spain has been a global leader in organ donation and transplantation for the past 26 years. Broken down by organ, there were 3,269 kidney surgeries (up 9 per cent on 2016), 1,247 liver transplants (up 8 per cent), 304 heart procedures (8 per cent rise), 363 lung surgeries (up 18 per cent), 70 pancreas transplants (down 4 per cent) and eight bowel surgical procedures (up 100 per cent). According to the National Transplant Organisation (ONT), these surgeries are equivalent to six donors and 14 surgical procedures a day. In addition, Spain saw a new record in bone marrow donation last year, with 78,291 new donors and an increase of 196 per cent over the previous year. At this rate, the country could reach its target of 400,000 bone marrow donors well before the mid-2020 goal. In Spain the number of those on the waiting list was reduced to 4,896 in 2017, from 5,480, although the number of children waiting for organs increased to 74, from 48 a year earlier. Lung and heart are viable for 4-6 hours after death, liver and pancreas 24 hours, kidney 72 hours, corneas 14 days, bone and skin five years, and heart valves up to 10 years. Small intestines, veins, tendons and ligaments can also be donated. A single organ donor can save up to eight people and a single tissue donor may enhance the lives of up to 50 people. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

Honouring Guardia Civil VERA Council is renaming a street in honour of the Guardia Civil. The local authority unanimously approved changing the name of the road next to the Guardia Civil station from Calle Pulpi to Calle Guardia Civil Española.
“There are more than sufficient merits to credit the Spanish Guardia Civil with a public recognition on the part of the council,” commented Vera mayor Jose Carmelo Jorge Blanco. The council also announced another street in the municipality will be named
Calle Pulpi given the historic connections and close relationship with the municipality.
RENAMING: The street next to the Guardia Civil station will become Calle Guardia Civil Española.

The youth are a section of society who “merit special attention,” he added. Sanchez said the local administration wanted to offer young people leisure activi-
ties which are “educational and above all healthy.” The hike programme offers routes of varying levels of difficulty, the easiest suitable for children as young as six, according to the council. The local authority also said the routes would appeal to all hiking enthusiasts and are in beautiful natural locations.

TOXIC FUMES: Holidaymakers ended up in hospital after tank refilling mistake.
Acid cloud horror SIX tourists were taken to hospital and eight more treated at the scene after breathing in toxic fumes at a Spanish holiday resort. A lorry driver reportedly made a mistake when refilling a tank and mixed bleach with hydrochloric acid, causing a dangerous chemical reaction. The lorry driver is said to have reported the incident as soon as he realised his mistake.
Seven ambulances were sent to the Eldorado Resort in Cambrils on the Costa Dorada when holidaymakers reported breathing problems following the incident last Thursday. The six people taken to hospital were given oxygen, and are said to have now been released following the incident. Four fire crews attended to make the scene safe. It is not known what nationality the tourists were.

Jose Antonio Delgado went missing in early September after setting out from his home in Getxo in Vizcaya for a

NATIONAL Mobiles are distraction A STUDY by Fundacion Linea Directa found that drivers distracted by their mobiles cause 390 deaths each year. In other words, using a mobile at the wheel is currently responsible for 20 per cent of road accident fatalities. The Linea Directa findings are further supported by Españoles alvolante, distracciones y uso del móvil 2019 by Gonvarri and Movistar, which also demonstrates that mobile phones are the principal distraction for drivers. Spain’s Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) has also analysed the mobile issue in depth and found that in just one week 5,794 drivers were stopped for distracted driving. Of these, 2,267 - 38.5 per cent of the total - were fined for using their mobile at the time, the DGT revealed. The Linea Directa study also found that two million drivers admitted taking a selfie while driving or videoing themselves while driving at high speed. These include the 22year-old who was arrested recently in Malaga after he was seen with with one hand on the wheel and the other holding his mobile as he videoed himself driving at 189 kilometres per hour.

It is also reported the attackers put Jose Antonio’s
body in the boot of his car and buried him on the outskirts of the town, where it was discovered by a local resident. The aggressors then tried to sell Jose Antonio’s top-of-the-range Mercedes on the internet, but the buyer reported the sale to the Guardia Civil due to the lack of documentation to go with the vehicle.

Festival pat on the back
European Tourism Fair
VERA Council has given itself a pat on the back for this year’s San Cleofas festival. “A complete success both in terms of participation and approval by residents and visitors for the suggested novelties,” was how Festivals councillor Amparo Garcia summed up how the celebrations had gone. The local authority said the public had given the thumbs up to the changes introduced for this edition of the week-long event, notably the decision to move the midday fiesta away from the town centre to the El Palmeral fairground. According to the council the midday activities had this year attracted the highest ever number of visitors. The council highlighted the popularity of this year two big acts, 80’s pop group Ole Ole and Seville band Siempre Asi, as well as traditional events like the jousting for ribbons and the street processions. The councillor also stressed there had been no “incidents or altercations” during the celebration, but rather “a festival atmosphere we have all enjoyed.” She drew particular attention to what she described as the “healthy” participation of young people in reference to the special police and Guardia Civil campaign to prevent so-called ‘botellones,’ or gatherings of youngsters in public places to drink.

ANDALUCIA has had its best ever August in terms of tourism. Data from the Ministry of Tourism shows that hotels in the region dealt with a total of 7.6 million overnight stays in the month, which is 5 per cent more than in August 2018. There was an increase in the number of guests of 4.4 per cent to exceed 2.3 million for the first time. The figures were revealed by vice president of the Junta de Andalucia and Minister of Tourism, Regeneration, Justice and Local Government, Juan Marín, at a meeting convened to assess the impact of the bankruptcy of Thomas Cook. Marin highlighted August as “a historic month for tourism in Andalucia. The data has exceeded our most optimistic forecasts and we are on track to close 2019 as a year in which we will further bolster the strength of our destination.” Regarding Thomas Cook, Marin said: “The impact on the region is going to be much smaller than other destinations, such as the Balearic or Canary Islands.” The biggest increase in overnight stays was in Sevilla, with an increase of 9.9 per cent. It is followed by Cordoba, with 7.5 per cent more, Granada, with 6.7 per cent more, Huelva, with an increase of 5.9 per cent, Cadiz, with 4.8 per cent more, Malaga, with a rise of 4.4 per cent and Almeria, up 1.9 per cent.

Grand restoration scheme THE restoration project of the Verger Alt in the castle in Denia is quickly transforming the area overlooking the sea. Large parts of the castle grounds were in varying states of decay, covered by dense pine forest, and are now being uncovered to show off the castle that is a major historical site in Denia. The Verger Alt connects the highest part of the castle, the Governor’s Esplanade, with El Verger Baix and from the top, the viewpoint of the Palau del Governador or from the oval tower at the bottom of the esplanade, it’s possible to appreciate just how much work has taken place already. The pines have already disappeared and the trunks are piled up ready to be taken away and reused. From the port, a new landscape of the fortress can be seen. Once the work is completed the castle will be free for local residents and tourists to enjoy and will allow people to walk along the old path that descends from the Governor’s esplanade through the Verger Alt.

Cleaning up
ELECTRICITY company Iberdrola celebrated its International Volunteer Day in Guardamar del Segura. Company employees from the province gathered to spend a few hours cleaning the Moncayo beach, which had been affected by the recent storms. Internationally, the company brought together 2,200 volunteers, 22 per cent more than last year, in Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, Mexico, Brazil and Portugal. Under the slogan ‘Together we build the world we want!’ the company dedicated the event to the fight against climate change and caring for the environment, as well as the inclusion of vulnerable groups and raising awareness of diversity. Iberdrola volunteers and their families shared the day with members of disability associations and those at risk of social exclusion. In Spain, more than 800 volunteers from the energy company took part in 26 activities with social organisations in 24 cities in 13 autonomous communities. This programme has received various awards, including the Innovation Award 2018 in the Private Sector category, awarded by the IMPACT2030 network (private sector initiative and the UN). In addition, in 2016, the company received a Special Mention from the King of Spain, in the celebration of the first decade of its International Programme.
VALLDEMOSSA has topped the list of the richest towns in Mallorca with the highest level of gross average income, coming in 25th place of all municipalities in Spain. The Tax Agency released a report on Tuesday listing the wealthiest places in Spain based on the average income of residents in the area and six of these municipalities are in Mallorca. Valldemossa came in at number 25, Puigpunyent at 38, Bunyola at 64, Esporles at 67, Calvia at 93 and Alaro at 100. This year Puigpunyent and Calvia have appeared in the list for the first time. Of the list of municipalities with the highest income levels on the islands, it is especially significant that only one of them, Calvia, is considered a tourist municipality with the rest of the towns located in the Sierra de Tramuntana. The average gross income of the inhabitants of Valldemossa is €42,451, which is 50 per cent more than the average income of the Balearic Islands. On the opposite side of the scale is Capdepera, which is listed once again as the municipality of Mallorca with the lowest level of average income. Its inhabitants had an average of €21,689 in 2017 which leaves them far from the Balearic average. Along with Sant Llorenç and Son Servera it is one of only three towns on the islands that are not among the 1,000 richest municipalities in Spain.

Grape harvest down
A REPORT from the Spanish Asso ciation of Young Farmers (ASAJA) on the latest grape harvest makes for interesting reading with both good and bad news. Due to long term drought in many of the grape growing areas, the harvest will be the lowest in the past five years, but it is consid ered that the quality will be excep tional allowing for the production of excellent tasting wines. Even with the effects of what is referred to as the ‘cold drop’ in Au gust and September pests were
By John Smith still kept to a minimum which re sulted in fewer grapes but less wastage. In times of low harvest and high quality it would be expected that the cost of grapes from the vine and thus the cost of wine itself would go up, but this is far from the case. ASAJA experts do not under stand why grape prices are ‘abnor mally low’ and for some reason, even though the harvests in both
France and Italy are less than usu al, international demand has not seen an increase in price and Span ish grapes will be sold at the same price as last year or in a worst case scenario at even lower prices. The actual estimate for the over all grape harvest shows that a max imum of 39 million hectolitres of wine is likely to be produced and this compares with the 2018 figure of 50 million hectolitres, so those with a nose for good wine could well pick up some quality bargains next year.
LEGALLY SPEAKING Bank refused his transfer I am a pensioner aged 76 with property in Spain but still resident in Dubai. I have held an account in La Caixa bank for 25 years, transferring money regularly for various contingencies including a monthly support for three grandchildren. Last week the bank refused a transfer of €19,000 and asked for proof of income. I showed them title deeds for prop erties in Dubai, including substantial rental income. I also showed them evidence of investment portfolios. They insisted on government stamped proof of in come or tax payment, which I do not have. The idea of drawing money from assets is obviously beyond them. They sent the money back, less €1,000. Do I have any recourse? B.H. (by email) La Caixa is applying due diligence under YOU AND THE the rules of ‘Sep LAW IN SPAIN blac,’ the Spanish regulations against money laundering. We suggest you have your bank in Dubai contact La Caixa directly to establish your legitimacy. Another option would be to instruct a Span ish asesor fiscal or tax consultant to steer you right. I have just discovered that Dubai has an income tax system, but with a zero rate and no obligation to declare for most resi dents.

No cheer for pensioners By John Smith WOMEN born in the 1950s, especially those born after April 6, 1953 have received extremely bad news from the High Court in London last week. A case was brought arguing that the increase in the age at which women would receive the State Pen sion was unfair because they were not given enough warning of the change of pension age and therefore had not been able to plan properly for their old age.
COURT RULING: Women’s hopes shattered.
Top Spanish banks THERE is no doubt that the Banks in Spain have recovered remarkably well from the problems that hit them in the time of the financial crisis. Caixa Bank is now said to control the largest amount of deposits in the country at just under €370 billion and it is followed very closely by BBVA which has just a billion less. Former front runner Santander has dropped to third
place with €345 billion, but that is due to a reorganisation of how its accounts are presented with the removal of its corporate banking and UK business as well as online bank Openbank which is now trading in Germany. There is a widening gap between these three and the others in the Spanish top 10, so with profits and earnings increasing, it would not be a surprise to see acquisitions being made over the next 12 months.
The original retirement age for women was 60 and for men 65, but in 2010 the retirement age for women was raised to 65 and both men and women will have to wait longer from 2020 when State Pension is paid to 66yearolds and the age increases to 67 by 2028. Many women left good jobs to raise children and could then return to work, knowing that they would be able to expect to receive their pen sions at 60. Whilst sympathising with those af fected, the court ruled that there was no direct discrimination against women as the new law simply cor rected historic discrimination against men and also rejected that the law was discriminatory based on age. In essence the court also indicated that the decision to introduce this law was confirmed in Parliament and that whilst many may disagree with the result, their course of action lies in the ballot box not the courts. It is estimated that some three mil lion women were in this position, with some potentially losing out on more than £40,000 (€44,000) which will not now be recovered due to this ruling.

Flight shame A SURVEY by Swiss Bank UBS has discovered that an increasing number of passengers are cutting back on air travel due to ‘flight shame’ over the impact to the climate. If the survey is accurate passenger numbers could drop significantly.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT WAR paint has been worn by warriors stretching back to the Neanderthals. Camouflage face paint is an integral part of our modern comm a n d o ’s a b i l i t y t o m e l t i n t o t h e background. But the UK decision this week to allow male soldiers to wear makeup was truly so ludicrous I thought I’d been beamed up to an other planet. It’s not even the decision that astounds me, it’s the knowledge that a con tingent of our military’s finest actually sat around discussing whether eyeliner and sticks of shocking pink, should become a part of our fighting men’s battle kit! War paint was sup posed to frighten our adversaries, not try to fool them into thinking they were being invit ed into a local gay bar by the Village People! Couple that with encouraging soldiers to cry, giving time out for others to pray and prosecuting exarmy heroes for ‘historical crimes,’ really does make me despair that when we have to defend our country against adversaries, we’ll be far too busy being politi cally correct to even come close to claiming victory. One of our problems has always been to underestimate our enemies. We always seem to think that others will
FEATURE
Completely merciless
WAR PAINT: Was supposed to frighten our adversaries. respect the rules of war, or treat defeated en emies with chivalrous compassion and ‘uman rites’ etc. Well I have news for all the utterly misguided wimps and snowflakes. Today’s adversaries are completely merci less, they would slit your throat and hang, draw and quarter you in front of your family. There are no rules any more. Bringing polit
ical correctness into the equation can get us all dead. For all our sakes get real and con centrate on digging out our enemies at all cost. Only by confirming that we will stop at nothing to defeat them, will we have any chance at all of saving our lands and its citi zens; and who knows, by taking a strong and noncompromising stand perhaps just per
haps, we can strike enough fear into our ene mies that we won’t actually have to go to war at all. So for heaven’s sake all you military ‘Wallas’ forget the eye shadow and Estée Lauder and concentrate on lethal new weaponry and no quarter combat policies before you all lose your heads and we lose the country we put our trust in you to fight for and protect. You have no idea how much writing in this vein saddens me. Long into my 30’s I had re tained my 60’s ‘flower power’ beliefs that peace and love was the only way and that war and violence would never be the answer to the survival of the human race. I still do believe these sentiments. Unfortunately I am also a realist. Over the years I have recognised that for these ideals to prevail, everyone had to share the same teaching. Well they don’t. Extremism has manifested fanatics, who believe superiority can only be gained by delivering exactly the opposite. You cannot fight these people with reason or understanding. The only way to survive and bring peace to our future genera tions is by the annihilation of those whose sole aims are to annihilate us. Keep the faith Love Leapy. Leapylee2002@gmail.com

A very special relationship NORA JOHNSON
BREAKING VIEWS Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson
THE USA and the UK - two great countries separated by a common language. A phrase attributed to Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw and even Winston Churchill. But apart from language, what else is common to both countries? How about, for starters, their current leaders, both threat ened with ‘impeachment,’ and the tricky situation they both face, namely political processes paralysed by the opposition. Boris represents the 17.4 million who voted for Brexit, Trump won the presidency in the USA and both are trying to deliver what they promised. Whether or not Trump violated any law, it is essential that corruption is investigated foreign aid is, af ter all, US tax payers’ money. And the claim, by some in 2016, that the majority didn’t vote for Trump ignores the reality that US elections are won using a different system. It is also right that Boris is allowed an election. Until the UK has a majority govern ment (maybe a coalition), parliament will
USA AND UK: What is common to both countries? continue to control House of Commons business, which is not the way democracy operates. But the real comparison lies in the atti tude of both the US and UK less welloff families who voted for Trump and Brexit in vast numbers. They are the ones who twig that the current systems of globalisation manufactured by the ‘global establish ment,’ in which the EU plays a major part and which has been blatantly exploited by China (the USChina trade war has led to the imposition of tariffs on products worth more than $470 billion), don’t work for them. Hardly surprising then, that many of these families regard Trump and Johnson as their champions (the warm BorisDonald relationship even less surprising). Maybe,
though, both men are too flawed, personal ly, to see their respective mandates through to the bitter end? However, the genie of populism is out of the bottle so we shouldn’t be surprised if we see the establishments of both coun tries gobsmacked once more by an em phatic victory for Brexit supporters in the next UK elections and another electoral vic tory for Trump in the USA.

Past and Future of Luxury Motors NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England THE Goodwood Estate rests in a fold of the gentle hills of the South Downs, a rural idyll of the southern counties of England that from time to time has re verberated to the roar and whine of engines driven with passion and deter mination. In war the estate hosted an airfield from which several of ‘the few’ flew into battle and fought the Battle of Britain. The estate’s motor circuit was the scene of epic battles by racing dri vers like the legendary racing driver Sterling Moss and his contemporaries as well as many Grand Prix. On the other side of the Hill Climb course lies the horse racing, ‘Good wood’ where thoroughbred race hors es speed across the Downs and round a natural amphitheatre to sweep past lawns and grandstands filled with cheering race goers. The Goodwood Estate also hosts a manufacturer of cars; Rolls Royce Motor Cars. Every year a historic motoring ex
A 1959 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, a two-door drophead coupe in black and red with a matching hood accompanied by 1961 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II in Sage Green over Smoke Green within the March Motor Works.
travaganza takes place at Goodwood; the ‘Good wood Revival’ meeting. Everyone at tending is in the cast for the stylish event, dressing the part, entering into and recreating the glamourous world of the 1950s. This year Rolls Royce Mo tor Cars transformed the March Motor Works into a replica of the company’s motor show stand of the era.
The centre piece was naturally an example of the company’s most coveted luxury cars of the period. The 1959 Rolls Royce Sil ver Cloud , a two door drophead coupe in black and red with a match ing hood, the car is one of just a hand ful created by the specialist coach builder HJ Mulliner. While on the legendary motor cir
Don’t do it, just don’t! MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man MY daughter has Netflix in the UK and we pay an extra subscription so we can watch it here and also so she can also watch it when she’s here too. The problem is that it’s an utter waste of time because if you are watching an Englishspeaking movie which has sec tions of people talking something other than English, you can’t understand what they are saying because the subtitles come up in Spanish. I asked Netflix about it in a live chat and was told it was all about licensing and copyright. Here’s my point to all companies that do this Amazon TV is the same don’t just don’t! There is nothing worse than this happening. If you are paying a sub scription in England it should have Eng lish subtitles available even if you are watching in Spain. What’s the point of having a movie on that half way through you can’t watch it any more? These massive entertainment compa
nies get on my nerves with all their rules and regulations about their licensing and intellectual copyright. People will pay a fair amount gladly to watch what they want, just give them the option. Because I can promise you they will find a way of watching whatever they want by using VPNs, IPTV, Kodi, Teatv and loads of oth er things I’ve never heard of. This is a grump about gift cards and ho tel key cards. Recently I was in the UK and, as you know, most hotels now use key cards. I can’t count the amount of times I get back to my room only to find it wouldn’t work, making me turn round and have to go back to reception and get a new key. The same happened on Satur day when I went to El Corte Ingles to use some of the gift cards I was very gener ously given for my birthday. I went to pay and was told they couldn’t read it. I was told it was because I’d had it near my phone or credit card and I’d have to go down to customer service to sort it. There is actually no way I know of that this can be stopped from happening. Surely if you can put men on the moon and have driverless cars, someone must be able to come up with a way that your key card can last the walk from reception to your room!

cuit an example of a 1961 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II a long wheelbase sa loon; an imposing fourdoor limousine in Sage Green over Smoke Green which recorded only 9,500 miles in 58 years formed part of the Course Direc tor’s entourage. The ‘Goodwood Revival’ meeting drew the season to a close in the mid dle of September; a little later a very
special car was rolling off a transporter into Goodwood and the workshops of the Rolls Royce Motor Company. An allelectric experimental model that has been touring the world for much of the last four years has come home. The car will be on display at the company’s headquarters, a solid com ment on a vision of an electric future. A radical and controversial Vision Next 100 alluding to the centenary of the brand while pointing optimistically to dominating the future with the car co denamed 103EX. First seen in 2016 the 103EX in cludes an allelectric drive train, an en tirely autonomous drive and enhanced artificial intelligence, connected and autonomous the 103EX has controver sial styling. It presents a forthright view of the marque’s view of a future of ‘luxury mobility.’ A Rolls Royce cabin was once said to be so quiet that occupants could hear the ticking of a dashboard clock while motoring. The 103EX was welcomed home it is said with some fanfare how ever its short journey into the show room was as one would expect; soundless. Nick Horne, London, England

LOTTERY UK NATIONAL LOTTERY
FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Yours is a big ship. You are able to take a lot on board but you don’t have to. In this special week, when you see things so clearly, be selective. Allow into your life only that which is valuable and worthwhile. This is not selfishness, it is providing a source of inspiration for the present and the future.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Your old shoes are comfortable and still have a lot of wear in them but someone is suggesting that you should buy some new shoes and throw the old ones away. They are no longer shiny. They are no longer fashionable. They do, however, provide all that you need.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) That little bit of extra cash has made you realise something. Not everything is as simple as you would wish it to be, and throwing money at a problem will not make it go away entirely. There are some things that you need to come to terms with. It is much easier to incorporate the uneasy into your life if you take a more relaxed attitude.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Sometimes, when we are making a journey, it is not the usual route that is best. Something has changed in your sphere and there is a need to adjust to it. There are other options that will bring the same result and maybe even a more convenient one. You will need to do two things. The first is to open your mind to the possibilities.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Someone needs to learn to stand on their own two feet. It isn’t you, but it’s close. Finding a balance between helping and idly standing by while mistakes are made is necessary. It’s not easy but it has to be done. You may break into a sweat this week and it won’t suit your nerves, but you’ll get through.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A way opens up before you that can bring wealth. Branching off from that is a path to certain happiness. Which will you take? If having that money means changing your nature (or trying to) is that going to make you happy? On the other hand, if you sidestep the money can you still be happy? Keep things simple. You know where you are.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you looking for guidance? Maybe you are thinking that a recent acquaintance will be able to provide it. You ran something by a few friends and they are not so sure. That is because this is a situation where you need an expert, not a well-wisher. Best not to waste your time and jangle your nerves. Get that expert even if it costs a few pennies.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) It appears at times that you are in the middle of a play. The lights are on you, the mike’s wired, your audience awaits, then nothing. Not that you are lost for words. You know exactly what to say and do. What you are wondering is why you are there in the first place. Maybe where you are was not intended.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) There’s a lot of buzzing going on in your head. No, it isn’t tinnitus, it’s something quite different. You know it’s a great time to get ideas and act on them. However, trying to act on too many at once is causing some confusion. Maybe there’s too much going on.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You’ve been working hard, maybe in the dark some of the time. This week someone shines a torch on your situation and you see exactly where you are. Are you surprised? You shouldn’t be.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Getting a creative project started has opened your eyes to many things. Perhaps you question why you did not do it before. The fact is that it doesn’t matter. You are where you are right here and not because that was where you were heading. Enjoy the feeling, the praise and the satisfaction.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Just imagine for one day that you have achieved everything your heart has desired. When you wake up in the morning believe it is so. Feel how your spirits lift and your heart sings. Carry that feeling through the week and beyond. If you believe that you are a success you can be. Why stop when it feels so good?

Only lawyers win SO, we have the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, currently trotting around Africa, determined to demonstrate that they’re earning their keep. During this trip, Prince Harry has fired a broadside at the tabloid press. He is entitled to be furious if newspapers have tapped his or his family’s phones. Although taking legal action is unusual for a royal, this is a crime and he can rightly take the tabloids responsible to court. He is also entitled to be furious that a newspaper has published a private letter written by his wife to her father. The couple may be equally entitled to sue the newspaper that published the letter for copyright, but it’s not so black and white. The letter was legally owned by Meghan’s father. If the newspaper legally obtained the letter from him, is it not Meghan’s publicity-hungry father who should be the target of Harry’s ire? By suing the paper, is he not attracting more attention on his apparently strained relationship with his father-in-law and this isn’t protecting his family privacy. There’s no doubt former actress Meghan Markle is per fect clickbait, but she won’ t play the tabloid’ s game. Now they can’ t do right for doing wrong, but is Harry’s lawsuit going to help or will only the lawyers win?
MONEY MAKER I READ your article on the new Renfe card, it seems to me it is another way of making money from travellers who use the train infrequently, such as tourists travelling to and from the air port, they are likely to make only one or two journeys and are less likely to understand the very complicated ticket machines at stations, this means that they will probably pay an extra 50 cents on each journey.

Are all people in power blind or just don’t want to know or unwilling to face the problem. At the moment black peo ple are killing each other due to the drugs war that’s going on around the country to some people that’s just fine. It’s not a nice situation we have here but all what you have stated is spoton in every way, I congratulate you for stating the obvious. My only wish is that I could have access to your paper over here or can I get it on the inter net? I would be delighted if you could let me know.

Migration DEAR Leapy, No slings and arrows I assure you. Ex cellent article. What you have in the UK is also a huge problem in Holland. Most Dutch have had it with migrants and the arrogance and aggression of Africans that have moved into this tiny country. The truth of the matter is that all Eu rope has lost their pride and their own culture. The English are the same as the Europeans. It’s all loud talk, big brave words, drunkenness, drugs, tattoos and if a family member is raped or abused, they blame colonialism. What a pathetic excuse. Carry on Leapy, and spread your message. In SA the Xhosa are killing the mi grants coming in. That’s black on black!! Don’t see that on BBC. Regards, Hans de Leeuw

Social integration BEEN on holiday in Mallorca and just happened to pickup the Euro Weekly newspaper. I must admit your reference regarding social inte gration was just spoton.

Of course this issue matters but try banning cruelty or enforcing mi crochip and running sterilising programmes first and clean up the desperate situation of overbred and under valued animals here.

Electric Scooter Rider Pulled Over By Cops On Spanish Motorway I have just seen a man,with a child about four years old on one of these, going down the main road among all the traffic, really responsible parent he is!!!!!!! Another thing that really gets me, we motorists, scooter riders or whatever have to pay road tax, in surance and abide by the laws of the road, they pay nothing and abide by no laws.

Caring responsibilities
A NEW study has revealed that nearly twothirds of young car ers suffer from mental health problems because of their car ing duties. The study, which looks at six European countries, warns that the failure of those govern ments to take proactive action on behalf of young carers could be in breach of human rights law. Published by the MeWe Young Carers project, the new research found that 60 per cent of the 276 adolescent young carers defined as those aged 15 to 17 reported mental health problems because of their caring. Thirty per cent said they had thought about hurting them selves and 12 per cent had thought about hurting others. Of the latter, 43 per cent had thought of hurting the person they cared for. Thirty per cent of adolescent
PRESSURES: Many young carers suffer mental health problems.
young carers reported physical health problems due to their caring role, the University of Sussex research said. Just over 40 per cent report ed experiencing difficulties in school due to their caring re sponsibilities. Twentytwo per cent experienced negative school performance and 37 per cent had endured bullying due to caring. The MeWe project recom mends a number of policy ini tiatives to support young carers including special measures such as additional time for young carers sitting exams. They also call for psychologi cal supervision in schools to support adolescent young car ers, flexible working conditions at work, and training to help professionals identify and sup port young carers. The 2011 census for the UK revealed that there are 177,918 young c ar er s under the age of
18 in England and Wales. The number of young carers has increased by 19 per cent over the last decade. “Young carers are a particu larly vulnerable group and should be recognised as such,” said Saul Becker, professor of social work and social policy at the University of Sussex. “They should not only benefit from the universal implementa tion of their rights, but be sub ject to additional and tailored policy and support measures with a scale and intensity that is proportionate to their level of disadvantage. “International human rights law requires States to adopt af firmative actions in fulfilling their obligations to respect the equality principle. “One could argue the lack of positive actions from states to support young carers is a fail ure to protect and promote these rights.”

‘More relaxed’ DAME H E L E N M I R R E N , 74, has revealed she used to be ‘paranoid’ about her looks, but now ‘does n’t give a flying f***.’ The actress told Bella magazine she worried far more about her looks when she was younger than she does today, and said it is ‘not fair’ that women are made to feel like they should look like teenagers. Mirren was talking ahead of the premiere of her new TV show, Cather ine The Great, which aired last Thursday on Sky One. D urin g h e r fran k in t e r view, she acknowledged that ‘of course’ she looked better years ago, but that she was ‘miser able and paranoid,’ whereas she is far more relaxed about her appear ance now. The actress went on to say that women are con stantly faced with younger models thrust in their
faces and are expected to compete. GREAT ATTITUDE: Dame Helen Mirren has become more comfortable in her skin as she has aged.

TV star ‘needs a laugh’ LOVE ISLAND host Caroline Flack has been holidaying in Ibiza with boyfriend Lewis Burton. The couple were spotted on board a luxury boat with a host of pals including former Made in Chelsea star Ashley James. Flack, aged 39, and former tennis star Burton, aged 27, started dating in July. Celebrity spotters say the couple’s sunshine break appeared to be clouded by a row, but it’s unclear what was the cause of the conflict. The TV presenter, at one point, appeared to be showing Burton a text on the screen of her mobile phone. She was later seen intently typing on her mobile as she sat alone while Burton enjoyed a beer with beauty Ashley Jones who wore a tiny black bikini. A couple of days later Flack hinted that all was not well in her personal life when she posted on Instagram telling fans she felt she ‘needed to laugh.’ Flack and Burton, now a model, went on Instagram earlier this year to announce they were an item.
SOCIAL SCENE THIS week we seemed to be running around like headless chickens (excuse the pun) at Olive Tree Farm. Between animals, family and work, and clearing things up still after the Gota Fria, food had to be fast. This is one of those dishes, which for a lunch or quick supper takes minutes to make and there are many variations for filling them. Tortillas are easy to find ready made in the supermar kets, and quesadillas make good use of them. The recipe below is a vegetarian version, but I often make spicy beef, chili chicken, or even pork. You can use leftover meat if you have done a roast which makes them faster to put to gether. It is the addition of the cheese which melts and holds them together which is the key, whatever you decide to fill them with. Mushroom, spinach and egg quesadillas (makes two) Ingredients 1 tablespoon of olive oil 2 large mushrooms, sliced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 large handful of fresh,

Star flamenco turn INTERNATIONALLY famous flamenco dancer and choreographer Sara Baras is set to perform in Adra. The Cadizborn star will

present her latest work ‘Som bras’ in the Adra cultural cen tre on November 16, the In ternational Day of Flamenco. ‘Sombras’ is a commemo ration of the 20th anniversary
of the formation of Sara Baras’ own dance company. The show is billed as propos ing a journey through time, of colours, silence, noise, of crowds, of solitude, of light and shadows, with 10 differ ent flamenco styles and dances. The spectacular also serves to showcase Sara Baras’ con tinuous evolution as an artist and her important contribu tion to modern flamenco. Baras began her interna tional dance career more
than 30 years ago. Her own mother, Concha Baras, was one of the teachers who had most influence on her as she was taking her first steps into the world of flamenco. She went on to study with some of the greats, among them Ciro, Manolete, El Güito and Dania Gonzalez. In 1998 her own company Ballet Flamenco Sara Baras made its debut. She has toured all over the world, appeared in films and has won numerous awards.
JOURNEY: Baras’ show ‘Sombras’ features 10 different flamenco styles and dances.
Season with salt and pepper and stir until fully cooked. Re move from the pan and set aside. Place the tortilla in a clean frying pan (I sprayed the pan with a little olive oil before placing the tortillas in the pan) and add a layer of both
cheeses on half of the tortilla. Add the scramble, top with more cheese and fold the tor tilla in half. Cook for about three to four minutes over medium heat, and then flip it over to brown the other side. Repeat with the other tortilla if you cannot fit both in the pan at the same time. Serve immediately whilst the cheese is still melting along with a salsa or a salad. Enjoy!

Bridge works underway WORKS to widen the pavements on the Zurgena bridge got going last week. The local council said the bridge will be closed to traf fic throughout the expected twomonth duration of the works for safety reasons. Alternative accesses to Zurgena are the road from Arboleas or the road from La Alfoquia via Albox or Huer calOvera. The Junta de Andalucia’s Public Works and Infrastruc ture department awarded the more than €120,000 contract for the bridge pro ject some months back. “The pedestrian pave ment, which we have been waiting for so long, and for which so much work has been done, is finally a reali ty,” the local authority noted on social media.

Hackathon for an active economy PROMOTING economic growth in the Almanzora region is the focus of a gathering of professionals from different fields in Fines. Today’s ‘Jornada Almanzora Comparte’ in the Fines School of Marble brings together people who work in tourism, farming, industry, training and on preventing depopulation to look at ideas to stimulate economic activity. Organised by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), in collaboration with the Junta de Andalucia and the Fines School of Marble, and with the collaboration of the Turismo Almanzo ra tourist sector business association, this is the fourth edition of the event, which aims to provide a forum for learning and ex changing knowledge and experiences. To this end it has this time been organised in the form of a ‘hackathon,’ where partici pants take part in collaborative software development. UOC Communication and Information Sciences professor Sandra Sanz explained the thinking behind the hackathon for mat, commenting, “it is a horizontal and intensive dynamic, in which participants can complement individual experiences and skills with the aim of developing concrete solutions, and stimu lating creativity, team work, innovation and learning.” Junta de Andalucia Employment, Training, SelfEmployed, Economy, Knowledge, Business and Universities territorial dele gate Emilio Ortiz said it was “direct dialogue with the area’s key agents” which had inspired the event. He stressed the participants are “those who know the area best,” and said the day provided an opportunity for them to be able to “express their demands and put forward proposals, from teamwork and from different perspectives with a com mon goal, boosting economic development of the region.”

ONE of the first considerations, when buying a house in Spain is the type of community you want to live in and the type of property. For those of you who want the urban lifestyle, near to chic restaurants, nightlife and incred ible culture, then, like the vast majority of Spaniards, you should consider buying or rent ing an apartment. The flats in Spain tend to be larger and more open than apartments, than those in say, England and the majority will have a balcony or terrace to enjoy the fresh air. For people that want to live a more isolated lifestyle, with a back to nature feel, then the houses of the ‘campo’ (or coun tryside) should be a considera tion. Given that the majority of the local population tend to be very sociable people, they do not want to live such an isolated existence and therefore bar gains can be found. Beware though, there are strict rules as to the amount of building permitted on any given plot of ‘agricultural’ land and

The facilities are far better, with bars, public swimming pools, doctors and pharmacies located in most villages. There is a real sense of community and a chance to integrate with the lo cal Spanish community, which is great for those that want to learn the language. Against this, the majority of houses in the vil lages will tend to have little or no garden and the rules regard ing the installation of swimming pools are strict and prohibitive.

Looked like relegation fodder
AS the Spurs players left the tunnel at the weekend, most of them looked very serious. Harry Kane had the e x p re s s i o n o f s o m e o n e who’s fed up of losing after Tottenham were smashed once again. Brighton were actually playing a back four, with Burn at leftback and Alzate to the right of centre in a dia mond midfield. On just three minutes Burn’s over hit cross from the left forced Lloris to backpedal towards his own line. He made a splitsecond decision to catch the ball instead of pushing it over the bar, but he misjudged where he was in relation to the goal line. As he caught the ball, his momen tum took him over the line, so he had to drop it in front of an open goal. Maupay reacted fastest to head it in
from a yard. Lloris landed badly and looked in serious pain. He wasn’t able to continue as Brighton took the early lead. After a delay of around five min utes, Lloris was stretchered off the field and given oxygen. Paulo Gazzani ga replaced him. Brighton were the better team and now led by two. Burn hit a bouncing cross towards the near post, where Connolly got in front of Davies to flick the ball towards goal from six yards. Gazzaniga made a brilliant save, low to his left, but Connolly reacted first to steer the loose ball into the net. Thir tytwo minutes in and woeful Totten ham were 02 down. It was a full debut for Brighton’s Aaron Connolly. He was a pest all day and went on to score his second goal. The move started when he made a fine run from centre to left
to receive Dunk’s long pass. Then he cut back inside, shifted the ball away from Alderweireld and cracked a su perb low shot into the far corner from 15 yards to put Spurs 03 down within 65 minutes. The Man of the Match was Aaron Connolly, he took Spurs expensive so called stars apart having more deter mination than the whole of the lack lustre Tottenham side. The focus, inevitably, will be on a totally awful Spurs performance and a horrible injury to Hugo Lloris. His sea son most likely over whilst Tottenham are quite frankly looking relegation fodder. Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham’s Manager said after another defeat: “Hugo’s injury had a massive emo tional impact on the team, and we lost a goal as well. We tried to find a solu tion in the second half, a different way

to play, but it was impossible. We are living a tough moment. We need to keep going and stick together. I feel sorry for the fans. It’s not easy, after five and a half years this is the first tough moment we are living. It’s new
for all of us. I hope the pressure comes on me, not the players. We cannot un derestimate this kind of situation, but in the times that are not so good there is always the possibility to make things stronger.”
Hosts celebrate New season another win tees off IT was a great night for the Japanese who took full ad vantage of a late gift by Samoa to grab a bonus point victory, with the final score 3819. Samoa played as if their Rugby World Cup lives de pended on it, and now they are on their way home, they battled well and proved very testing oppo nents for the Japanese. Henry Taefu was superb, he scored all 19 points for Samoa, with a try, a con
version and four penalties. Japan have three wins out of three, and 14 from a possible 15 points in their pool. The hosts will go into their final match of the pool stage against Scotland next week in full control of this group. They can lose to Scotland a losing bonus
point would still take them through. “It was hard work out there. It took us a long time… they are a quality side and they showed it, especially in the first half, it was a seesaw battle,” said the Japanese Skipper after the game.
SEE-SAW BATTLE: Samoa tested Japan, but are out of the tournament.
