From Marbella to Maracana! FOOTBALL players from The English International College have celebrated the arrival of their Brazil World Cup tickets! As far back as December 2012, after winning their fourth International Schools European Title in three years, the Under-17 Squad from the EIC, were invited by TetraBrazil, to travel to Rio De Janeiro to test their skills against

local professional teams. Such an audacious trip to a World Cup seemed unfathomable to most of the squad. However, fast forward 18 months and the players joyously celebrated the safe arrival of their World Cup match tickets and sponsored DeVere tour kit presented to the squad by Mr Oliver (Head of DeVere, Spain).

ON June 28 many city centres throughout Spain, and indeed the world, will be festooned with rainbow flags and outrageous floats - it’s gay pride day again! Officially called International Day of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) Pride, it is traditional for collectives to publicly celebrate their sexuality on this day. Originally it was the day for LGBT people to promote self-affirmation and encourage the public to take a positive stance against discrimination and violence; a day for the collectives to promote dignity, equal rights and increase their visibility as a social group which celebrates its sexual diversity and gender variance.

Quote of the Week I enjoy winning titles but what is done is in the past. Football is always tomorrow.’

Cholo Simeone, manager of Atletico Madrid football club, in reference to past wins and present woes.

The basic notion behind the idea is that nobody should have to be embarrassed about who they are - regardless of sexual orientation - this is why they originally chose the word ‘pride’ and not just acceptance. Although June 28 still has this aim, these days it is also an excuse for a massive street party in some cities. Gay pride celebrations generally consist of outrageous costumes and floats being paraded around the city centre; always with the rainbow flag and pink triangles which are the principal symbols of the movement. This year, in many countries, there will also be a heavy political content as the question of same sex marriages has been at the forefront of the political scene.

Ashes to be scattered at sea RAYMOND NAKACHIAN, who died from cancer last Monday at the age of 82, has been cremated in Estepona. The Lebanese entrepreneur died on June 16 in his

home in Estepona but the funeral was deferred to June 19 in order to give members of his family a chance to get there. His widow, Korean opera singer Kimera, explained

that after his surgery for bladder cancer all appeared to be going well but the chemotherapy sessions wore the entrepreneur down. “I thought that as he was such a strong man he would get through it but he was 82-years-old and couldn’t manage it,” commented Kimera at the funeral where she was accompanied by her children Melodie and Amir. At the religious ceremony at the cemetery’s chapel Kimera sang the Ave Maria, accompanied by a harp player, for gathered friends and family. Nakachian was a ‘face’ on the Marbella scene during Jesus Gil’s term as mayor and he, accompanied by his wife, was frequently seen at charitable benefits along the Costa del Sol. He hit the headlines in 1987 when his then five-year-old daughter Melodie was kidnapped for 11 days. She was rescued by police.

ESTEPONA: Where he wanted his ashes scattered. Among those at the funeral were Pedro Roman who was deputy mayor in Jesus Gil’s term; the Iranian

entrepreneur Shoja Shojai and Jaime Torrabadella lawyer and the family’s spokesperson.

Nakachian’s ashes will be scattered in the sea off the coast of Estepona by his wife and children.

A monitor, two beach goers and the beach life guard all went in after him as he was trying to avoid being rescued. The helpers rescued him and took him back to the beach. “He did not need reviving as he had never been in any difficulty but he had the whole beach worried.” said one eye witness.

6 arrested for fake muggings for insurance purposes NATIONAL police in Malaga have detained six people for pretending to be victims of crimes which never took place. During the month of May police in Malaga were surprised by the sudden upswing of muggings and decided to take a closer look. Their investigations revealed that at least six people, three men and three

women - not related to each other in any way, had claimed to have been mugged so that they could make a claim to their insurance companies. In some cases the police noticed that the items that they had said had been stolen were actually in their possession when they were arrested for falsifying a claim to the police.

Brutal beating in Humilladero “THEY just went mad. They wanted to kill him. Five against one. It was a brutal beating,” commented Isabel Soto, chief of Civil Protection in the small Andalucian town of Humilladero. The brutal beating took place after the local fair closed. Five youths set about a sixth and beat him so brutally that he had to go to hospital. The victim is a 24-year-old man who is a resident of the town and, according to Soto, he was just leaving the fairground with two friends when the five youths attacked him. Soto was also just leaving with her Head of First Aid when the two girls who had accompanied the victim ran up to their car and asked for their help. They stopped the car immediately and no sooner had they stopped than the victim tried to get in,

unfortunately he didn’t get all the way in as his aggressors continued to try to break his leg which was still hanging out of the car. Soto commented that, due to the vicious beating, the victim was convulsing and had foam coming out of his mouth. According to eye witnesses there were several people near the fight who did nothing to help the victim until the Civil Protection car came along. The victim was taken to hospital from which he voluntarily discharged himself as he wanted to recover at his home. The victim’s mother, Teresa, commented that the reason for the fight was a court case, for slander, between the aggressors and the victim and which the aggressors had lost. She also claimed that they beat her son because he is gay.

Approximately 2,000 Fuengirola residents suffer from this disease, first described by German psychiatrist and neuropathologist Alois Alzheimer in 1906. Fuengirola Mayor Esperanza Oña visited the facilities alongside Ana Mata, Vice President of the Malaga Council, and Francisca Lebron, President of Fuengirola and Mijas AFA. It is estimated that €1.7 million has been invested in the day care centre so far. “The Andalucian Government should be aware of the continuously growing number of patients needing treatment and assistance to slow down this disease,” said Oña. Often families cannot afford treatment or medication. Mayor Oña expressed her deep satisfaction over the centre which will reportedly offer treatment to 100 Alzheimer’s patients. Built on a 900-square metre plot, the twostorey 1,713 square-metre day care centre will have an infirmary, kitchen, gym, laundry service, waiting room, a computer room, examination rooms, bathrooms, dining rooms, a psychology and podiatry service.

ALMOST COMPLETE: Workers and local dignitaries at the Costa del Sol theatre.

New theatre to be for multi-use THE Costa del Sol theatre could be finished before the end of the year. It is already 80 per cent finished and only needs the stage technical equipment, seating and the facade decoration which will look a little like a musical organ. The fast pace of the works being done on the Teatro Costa del Sol, in Estepona, means that the cultural programme could start before the end of the year. Elias Bendodo, president of the regional â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Diputacion,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; visited the works accompanied by the mayor of Estepona, Jose Maria Garcia Urbano, and many and various representatives of local neighbourhood collectives. Sando, the company in charge of building the theatre, are just about to install the lighting and other technical equipment for the stage as well as the seating. Bendodo pointed out that the facade of the building would be covered in tubes and aluminium sheeting so that it would look like a musical organ. The building of the theatre has generated around 400 new jobs, 200 directly and another 200 indirectly, and Bendodo stated that this demonstrated the economic viability of this sort of project as it would continue to create jobs

once it was open. Urbano went on to say that the theatre space was multifunctional as it had simultaneous translation equipment and, as such, would be suitable for conferences as well as plays. The main hall of the

theatre seats 600 and there is a secondary space which has 100 seats which can be taken away so that this hall could be used for a variety of things including a practice space for local academies or whatever was needed at that moment.

Prizes for local schoolchildren

Another fake mugging ON May 15 a young woman went to the police station to denounce that she had been mugged. She claimed that on the evening before, she had been walking along the beach, near the Chanquete area of Malaga, and had been speaking to a friend on her mobile phone when a young man on a bicycle rode past her and grabbed her phone from her hand disappearing into the night. Police immediately opened an investigation into the matter and discovered that there had been no crime. The young woman was scared of telling her parents that she had lost her phone and so had decided to pretend it was stolen in order to escape a telling off.

Shoplifting gang arrested for stealing alcohol NATIONAL POLICE have dismantled an itinerant organised crime group which was stealing alcoholic drinks from supermarkets in Malaga, Cadiz, Granada and Almeria. Investigators have solved 27 robberies and confiscated more than 250 bottles of alcohol. The gang was making profits of around â&#x201A;Ź2,000 per day. The gang would go round supermarkets, in various cities in the south, and steal alcoholic drinks to later sell on the black market. The gang, composed of five people, was very well organised and every member had their own particular function. Each member of the gang would rent a different car every day so that the police could not trace them. The members would go into the supermarkets one by one and go straight to the alcoholic drink section where they would choose the most expensive drinks and then hide them in their clothing, which was purposely too large for them. In many cases, in order to avoid suspicion, the members would make a small purchase of something cheap and in this way pass out of the establishment through the cash desks which, they correctly calculated, allowed them to go unnoticed. Investigations came to an end when all the members of the gang were arrested. Two were arrested in Torremolinos and the other three in Fuengirola. Police recovered more than 250 bottles of assorted alcohol and â&#x201A;Ź800 in cash.

All the members of the gang have been arrested for theft and

shoplifting. They have all been remanded to prison without the

possibility of bail until their cases are heard in the courts.

BOTTLES OF BOOZE: Stolen by the gang.

Filming is expected to go on until around July 11 and take place principally in the centre of the town although some rumours point to the possibility of filming in the old tin factory. The extras and doubles will be paid €50 per day and around 750 people turned out for the casting; there was a queue from Convento de Santo Domingo to Plaza España. “We don’t know anything about the film - we were just told to turn up with our identity cards and a copy of our resume,” said one hopeful. “We are looking for all sorts, from guitar players to jugglers,” commented one of the casting crew.

When they looked into the cause of the fire they saw it was an oven that had been left on, but they also noticed that there were a lot of bottles of ammonia lying around the flat. Ammonia is used to convert cocaine paste into cocaine base. After investigating a little more they found a press, used to compress the cocaine for its transport, and several burners. What they didn’t find were the residents of the flat - neighbours had seen them running away with their backpacks when the fire started. After more inquiries the police were able to locate three people and arrest them on suspicion of running an illegal laboratory, drug dealing and crimes against public health. All three are in prison on remand until their case is heard.

Guardia Civil save a life THE Guardia Civil in Alhaurin de la Torre have saved the life of a person who had the intention of committing suicide. A person called the Guardia Civil headquarters in the town to tell them that they were going to kill themselves and saying they were in the mountains above the town. Combined forces of the Guardia Civil and National Police then sent out patrols to try to locate the individual.

The negotiator stayed on the phone with the individual until the agents were able to reach them, trying at all times to dissuade the individual from taking any further action and to find out their exact location so that they could be reached more quickly. The individual said that they had already cut themselves with a box cutter in four places on their body and that they were losing a lot of blood. Thanks to the negotiatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts the officers were able to reach the individual in time, they were just

Annual Conservatives Abroad Summer Ball THE Tamisa Golf Hotel was the ideal location for the Conservatives Abroad Summer Ball which was held under the stars, by the poolside, with music provided by the always popular Jo Layte.

There were a number of special raffle prizes and Chairman Alex Radford thanked members and guests for making the annual event so successful.

Investigations began in May when the nature protection branch of the Guardia Civil determined the MO of the gang which would come to Benalmadena from Cadiz to capture the immature anemones. Inquiries revealed that three of the fishermen would go diving for the creatures while one of them would

remain on the beach to keep a lookout for police. Having caught seven panniers full of the anemones, the illegal fishermen would then take them back to Cadiz in the back of their cars. The Guardia Civil stopped the cars and discovered that around 50 per cent of the catch was too small for commercial purposes and, as such, in violation of the law. Police confiscated all the equipment used in the illegal capture of the creatures including the diving tanks and both cars. The investigation has now been closed as the police consider that all those responsible have been caught.

There were no tax records of the transactions and, as such, police suspected tax evasion, money laundering, belonging to a criminal group, falsification of documents, swindling and

possible illegal possession of firearms. The MO of the gang was as follows: in their factory the gang would make 60x60x60 cubes which they would fill with the scrap metal and then cover with copper. The cubes would then go to a foundry in Huelva where the gang had three workers who would

then confirm the cubes as good quality and have them passed through the system. In this way the gang was pocketing up to €320,000 every month. When the police raided the gang’s warehouse and factory they found cash hidden in fire extinguishers which confirmed that illegal business was going on. They also found illegal firearms at the home of one of the detainees. The raids produced two firearms (revolvers), more than 100 bullets, two knives, two moneycounting machines, four computers, three specially prepared fire extinguishers (for hiding the cash), 11 number plates and a lot of false paperwork. The 15 detainees are all on remand until further notice.

Davro. Also entertaining the crowd was UK Pop Idol runner up, and hugely successful best selling star, Gareth Gates. Tee Green took to the stage to show just why he has become one of the most sought after singing coaches internationally. In his long career he has backed stars like Kylie Minogue. He has worked his magic on acts including Blue, Westlife, Lighthouse Family and Alexander O’Neal, and he brought that talent to the stage of the Puente Romano. The weekend’s golfing was again a great success.The annual golf event is one of the key fundraising events on the Rhys Daniels Trust’s event calendar. The sun-soaked affair always attracts a good turnout and a host of stars have taken part over the years. At the time of going to press a total for the amount raised had not yet been reached, but organisers were hoping it would approach, or even beat the €40,000 raised at last year’s event. The Rhys Daniels Trust is a UK based charity that provides a Home from Home for families of children enduring lengthy hospital stays. Often seriously ill children have to travel many miles away from home to get the specialist treatment. By providing living accommodation near hospitals the charity enables families to stay close by, particularly important when they have other young children.

T was yet another sparkling success for The Butterfly Ball as celebrities partied the night away to raise funds to help the families of desperately ill young children. Alongside the Rhys Daniels Golf Challenge tens of thousands of euros will have been raised for the Homes for Homes appeal. Every year the fundraising weekend - one of the biggest on the Costa del Sol - promises to be a super weekend of golf, fun and entertainment, and it always lives up to its billing. Hosted at the famous Puente Romano Hotel on Marbella’s Golden Mile, compere for the night was Mike Osman. The multi-talented radio and TV personality, who became famous as an impressionist, kept the audience entertained all night long in between a succession of top acts. Guests were treated to a wealth of entertainment from the likes of 14-year-old Jack Barry Kane, and Bobby Daniels

Sandro Morelli, 25 years at Villa Tiberio HONOURED: Sandro with mayor Angeles Muñoz. KEEPING up its reputation as the place to ‘see and be seen,’ celebrity sightings are coming thick and fast this summer at La Sala restaurant in Puerto Banús. Pictured dining with his pretty model wife, Ellie Penfold is footballer Jermaine Jenas, currently signed as a central midfielder to Queens Park Rangers. Following an injury earlier in the year, the player, 31, is taking time out while still under doctor’s orders. An international player since 2003, Jenas, has earned 21 caps for the England national team, and was included in the 2006 World Cup Squad. The player, who debuted as a professional aged 16, has played previously for Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur before joining QPR. The couple, who married in 2011, and have a baby daughter, regularly holiday in Marbella, and when not walking along the Marbella seafront or taking a dip, like to spend time at the buzzing La Sala restaurant. Boxing legend turned boxing promoter Ricky Hatton, MBE, was also spotted twice enjoying a night out at the celebrity hotspot. Ricky, who was holidaying in Tenerife with his family last week, is a regular visitor to Puerto Banús where,

SANDRO MORELLI, one of the most well known restaurateurs in Marbella has been honoured with an award for 25 years at Villa Tiberio. The award was handed to him by mayor of Marbella Angeles Muñoz, at

Having come from a poor background, Sandro Morelli has worked hard to become successful and give something back. The restaurateur came to Marbella from London 25 years ago, having opened the very successful Barbarella I and II, watering hole for the crème de la crème of London. When looking for a place to build his restaurant, Sandro found a small, broken down villa, and transformed it into the fabulous five star restaurant, Villa Tiberio. Ángeles Muñoz said “I (Bottom): International think I was one of Sandro’s footballer Jermaine first customers when he Jenas of QPR and opened Villa Tiberio, back model Ellie Penfold. before I was the mayor of Marbella and now look where we are.

Police jailed for torturing tourists FOUR Guardia Civil officers have been jailed for torturing two British tourists in Palma. The officers, who were found guilty by a Palma court, have been sentenced to terms of between two and four years imprisonment. The events took place in 2009, in Santa Ponsa, when two British men were having

a fight and one of them hit a Guardia Civil sergeant. Both men were detained and taken to the police station where they were beaten by the accused all night and most of the next day. The Guardia Civil even used objects like truncheons to beat them. Neither of the victims appeared in the court to take part in the prosecution and, as such, the exact circumstances of the beatings are unknown. The prosecution considered that the medical reports on the victims were enough to prove the case.

Editor

Disastrous timesâ&#x20AC;Ś

T has been a disastrous time for lovers of football in England and Spain. Both teams from those soccer crazy nations have had to beat a gloomy retreat after being knocked out early. So all the hopes and dreams of some of the best and most loyal fans in the world have been broken all too soon. It is a tremendous disappointment for many with all the excitement that comes with the knockout stages destined for other teams. For the Spanish it is the end of an era after eight years of dazzling success. Two European Championships and a World Cup is not a bad haul for largely the same group of players. But father time has caught

up with them and root and branch rebuilding is now needed. For England the long wait for glory goes on. But they are already further along the rebuilding road than Spain with some exciting young talent blooded in this tournament. Whatever the future holds one thing is for sure - football is one thing that England and Spain have in common. It is a shame that the opportunity for fans from both those countries to watch each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams and share some banter over a beer and tapa has gone. But on the up side for football lovers, the teams left have been playing some beautiful stuff. It bodes well for one of the best tournaments in recent years.

French rapist at large despite electronic tag SPANISH police officers traced a rapist who fled France by tracking his electronic tag to Madrid. But Jean Luc Moindrot remain at large despite the device supposedly being able to pinpoint his location precisely. The 48-year-old Frenchman was sentenced to nine years in prison in 1991 for sexual assault. In 2001 he was sentenced to 20 years behind bars for raping three different women. However, he was released in December 2013 after his sentence was reduced. A French judge had sentenced him to wearing an electronic bracelet. The bracelet was fitted with a

geolocation device which gives out a constant signal allowing law enforcement to know where he is at all times. But the signal was lost on June 12. The French police suspected he had left the country, but did not know his exact whereabouts. It seems two Spanish students saw him in Madrid prowling university bathrooms and alerted the police after identifying him. Spanish police officers were able to track him the following day. The signal from the tracking device he wears indicates he had been at the Atenas Park in Madrid. Spanish police think he may still be in the country.

He drives a grey Opel Vectra, licence plate number CZ-257-V. Geolocation is a groundbreaking technology which provides the exact location of a device in real time. It is based on geographical coordinates and measurements. It works thanks to a builtin GPS found in the tracking device that basically propagates its latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates. These are then identified on a map to give an address that may include a country, city, building name and often even the street address.

Homes heartbreak as Catch 22 means no help for householders I TOTALLY agree with R G Waugh (Fuengirola), that if the powers that be don’t do anything, then we can use our vote in the next local elections. However, I can assure him that both the main parties have been asked about making changes to Andalucia’s Urban Planning Law (LOUA). I have also written to anyone that I could think of who might be able to help. The UK parliament cannot help as we are under Spanish Law. The European Parliament cannot help as we are under Spanish law. The Spanish Parliament cannot help as we are under the autonomous rule of Andalucia, and have no fear they have been contacted too. My main reason for writing letters is so that everyone knows about the situation, the stress and heartache that this causes, as well as the financial burden of fighting your case. You buy a house with all the correct paperwork, receive your deeds, heave a huge sigh of relief and then find out that you are not legal at all. Kath Williams (by email)

Plain language I FULLY agree that a European prime minister should speak at least one other language. Given the cosmopolitan ambitions of any UK government I assume David Cameron has a working knowledge of both German and Russian? When I do not understand Spanish people very well, I say: “I do not speak Spanish well enough.” When British people speak of a similar situation, they nearly always say: “They did not speak English.” Can you explain to me why they put it this way? Pieter Scheele (by email)

UKIP vs EU THE usual ‘Guardianista’ rubbish from Bill Campbell, who says UKIP has only one policy - to get out of the EU. The point is, that as Brussels makes 75 per cent of our laws (and from November 1 a lot more), this one policy affects all other areas. In addition, a condition of membership of the EU is that we sign up to the European Court of Human Rights.

For Bill to say that the effects of the EU are negligible is absurd. The UK is full up, yet we have net migration of 212,000 a year. We cannot deport foreign murderers, rapists, paedophiles and hate preachers because it would deny them their “Yuman Rights”! Roger Page, Mojacar Playa (Almeria)

Where to go? I AM allergic to a lot of medication and therefore have much I need to dispose of. I know this can be left at a chemist or any health centre but I would like to know what happens to this unused medication. Is it passed on to the poor or sent to third world countries? The

same applies to spectacles. Do opticians collect them to be sent to needy people? If there is anyone who knows whether these things are passed on to be used for the good of others I should be most grateful. Much of my unused medication is quite costly and I hate to think of it being dumped whilst many people are dying because it is unobtainable in their country. Christine Harbour, Torre del Mar (Malaga) Editor’s note: Specsavers stores around Spain do collect old glasses for charity.

Closed season MY wife and I drove all the way from Alhaurin to La Cañada, Marbella, specifically to do a spot of shopping. We were disappointed to find the whole complex closed! Another of those annoying local holidays it seems. We weren’t the only ones to be caught out: there were dozens of other folk with shopping funds burning a hole in their pockets. What defies belief is how a nation like Spain can be in such dire straits financially when it’s full of such enterprising traders with

such high business acumen. A J Harvey, Alhaurin el Grande (Malaga)

Scam alert GAS men arrived at my villa and I understood I had to have my gas checked out by law. As they seemed to have all the correct paperwork I allowed them in. They immediately removed all four of my gas regulators (two of them were only two years old). They then removed all the hoses and pipe fittings which they soldered back on, and also used copper piping from an old boiler in my garage to run another valve that I was told I needed. I then spoke to my next door neighbour and after being told this was a scam I confronted the six people who got very agitated. Unfortunately I had already paid them €485.13 and they would not refund any of the cash. I called the Guardia but when they arrived they said these people were legal and left. I took photos of their two vehicles and have circulated the registration numbers on Facebook to hopefully warn any other unwary people. I have since had a gas leak that I found in my garage fixed independently. Robin Gregory, Mojacar Playa (Almeria)

Fighting back I READ with interest Mary Goosey’s problems with cancelling her telephone contract. I sympathise as I have had a similar problem with my car insurance since moving from France to Spain. Despite sending several letters by registered mail to the company and the agent, cancelling my health, house and car insurances, it wasn’t until December they got the message. However they have continued to demand payment for insurance on one of my cars with the threat of bailiffs for non-payment. Unfortunately it is like hitting your head against a brick wall and no one seems to respond personally to the countless letters and emails I have sent. If it’s any consolation to Mary, I am now put off buying a phone package. Good luck Mary and don’t be intimidated by these companies! Grahame Arkcoll, Comares (Malaga).

THERE is no denying that studying abroad is the optimal way to learn a language and get to know another culture first-hand. It also offers the opportunity to enhance employment opportunities. However, planning to live and study in another country can also be very stressful, from figuring out what side of the road people are supposed to drive on to more serious matters like finding a place to live. It is estimated that close to 100,000 foreign students have rented a home in Spain for the duration of their academic endeavours so far this year. Some students choose to hunt for a room in a shared flat before arriving in Spain, while others rely on specialised intermediaries. However, many only begin to

Looking for a place to live while studying abroad can be stressful

RENTING A BEDROOM: Sometimes prices are higher than expected. look for a place to live once they are in Spain and find that prices are higher than they expected. The average monthly rental rate for a bedroom in Madrid is close to €350.

In comparison, a student could rent a three-bedroom and 85-square metre flat in Albacete or a two-bedroom and 90-square metre flat in Almeria. Sources indicate that

between April and May 2013 the average rental rate for a bedroom in a shared flat was around €275 a month. It went down to €250 between August and September due to the supply

being greater than demand. Many real estate agencies act as intermediaries between the proprietor and the potential tenant and guarantee students a threemonth lease. Other websites specialising in home rentals require students to sign a one-year rental agreement. Rental rates usually cover cleaning, maintenance and Internet fees. For instance, average rental rates on Uniplaces, an international website for booking student accommodations online, are close to €410 for a bedroom in a shared flat, including service charges. Whole flats average €830 a month. Other intermediaries, like Aluni, charge an extra fee for service expenses, like water and electricity, which averages €40 a month.

this had risen to 1.9 million. The 40,700 hoping to find work for the first time in the first quarter of the year was three times greater than in 2007. The majority - 35,300 - were women, principally housewives pushed by the need to augment the family income during the economic crisis.

Botin sticks up for Bank of Spain EMILIO BOTIN, president of Santander Bank, defended Bank of Spain’s role during the crisis. Earlier, the outgoing president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Durao Barroso, had heaped responsibility for Spain’s problems on the Bank of Spain. “Whenever the European Commission asked the Spanish authorities how were the banks and how were the savings banks they always said that everything was perfect,” Durao Barroso complained. “I don’t agree with the president’s declarations,” Botin replied.

The supervisor had tried to anticipate the crisis with innovative measures, he insisted. These included the anticyclic provisions required of Spanish banks during the bonanza years, that were designed to help them survive in leaner times. It was less a problem of supervision than the deficient models of corporative and administrative control used by many of the former savings banks. Despite that, it cost less to cure the health of Spain’s savings banks than those of Ireland, Greece, the Netherlands, Portugal or the UK, Botin claimed.

“It’s always difficult to find employment at this age,” said an Adecco expert, “but trying to find work for the first time is even more dispiriting.” “These jobseekers know they face an uphill battle,” he added, “and most believed it would take at least two years to find a job and age was a drawback.”

More sickies ABSENTEEISM fell to 4.1 per cent in 2013 but rose slightly in the last quarter, reversing the trend of recent years when employees feared dismissal. Each missed an average 10.7 days last year.

Second thoughts SPANISH company Talgo presented the first of seven trains that will link Moscow to Berlin and other Russian cities. The Talgo allocated to the Moscow-Kiev route has now been re-routed to Nizhni-Novgorod.

Stating the obvious FINANCE MINISTER Luis de Guindos advised taxi drivers to move with the times. Referring to internet carsharing initiatives like Uber and Blablacar, which are bitterly opposed by licensed cab drivers, De Guindos stressed that they were obliged to respect the law. “Competition is very important, but they have to compete under

equal conditions. There can be no exemption from taxes,” said De Guindos, who heads the Spanish equivalent of the Treasury. But he also called on taxi drivers “to adapt, as we all must” to the changes that new technology has brought. “That’s obvious,” the minister concluded.

STAT OF WEEK SPANISH millionaires with net assets worth $100 million (€73.83 million) increased to 3,475 last year. This was 3 per cent more than in 2012, according to the Knight Frank 2014 Wealth Report.

Increase in mature jobseekers A RECORD number of over-45s looked for their first job between January and April. This age group is already badly affected by the economic crisis, Adecco Foundation researchers pointed out. In 2007 there were 422,000 people aged 45 or over who were out of work and by 2014

No gas crisis for Spain SPAIN is sitting pretty regarding its gas supply. Russia might have reduced Ukraine’s supply, alleging nonpayment, and depleting the supplies of other clients whose gas has to pass through the region. But unlike Estonia, Finland, Letonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Slovakia whose entire supply comes through Ukraine, Spain’s gas comes from various sources, explained the Asociacion Española del Gas (Sedigas). Last year it imported gas from 11 countries and also has six international pipeline connections. Two connect directly with Algeria, two with Portugal and another two with France. Fiftyfour per cent of Spain’s natural gas arrives via pipeline, principally from Algeria. The remaining 46 per cent is liquefied natural gas (LNG) imported in methane tankers that unload at one of Spain’s six functioning regasification plants. Here the LNG is then heated to turn it back into gas before it is piped to users. Spain currently accounts for 36.5 per cent of

onward to other countries,” Sedigas has revealed. The present infrastructure is sufficient to circulate 5.4 billion cubic metres of gas, but the Irun pipeline in the north of Spain will increase this to 7.1 billion cubic metres.

There were more eggs and margarine on the daily menu and sales of loose tobacco increased as many smokers started rolling their own. Children received 21 per cent less pocket money from their parents. Holidays, eating out, cinema visits and tickets for cultural events were all reined in last year although outlay on gas, electricity and water bills increased because of higher tariffs. There was also more to pay at the chemists owing to co-payment for medication and families spent more on education. Amongst other things this was due to the steep rise in university students’ annual registration fees. Grants for textbooks,

school transport and lunches were also harder to come by. An official Family Budget Survey by Spain’s Institute of National Statistics (INE) demonstrates that despite the recent improvement to the national economy the results of this progress have yet to filter through to families. Spending fell by 14.5 per cent between 2008 and 2013 and last year’s €27,098 family average is lowest of the crisis years. Families spent 30 per cent less on shoes, clothes and items for the home during these five years while spending on sewing materials and shoe repairs rose as people literally make do and mend. The survey also asked participating families for details of their spending on drugs and prostitution.

Are toxic employees killing your business? DEMOTIVATED?: Then try the carrot and stick approach.

OCCASIONALLY we experience sloppy service from demotivated staff. Chances are the boss is out of sight figuring ways to attract new custom as fast as his apathetic employees lose old ones. I explained my car radio wasn’t working. Asking me what make and presuming he would check it out, I identified my car. Drumming his fingers on the counter, clearly thinking some village is looking for its idiot, he replies sarcastically, “No, what radio?” How I kept from dragging

him over the counter I don't know. An optician’s assistant looks at me like she just found me on the bottom of her shoe. “You do realise you will have to pay?” Is there an antidote to cretinous employees in a business environment where

it is near impossible to sack the work-shy, incompetent and downright mutinous? Try the carrot and stick approach. Reconsider the methods by which you pay staff. Tweak it so an element of incentive becomes integral to their livelihood. This could

be a bonus based on turnover or profits. Everyone likes familiarity so why not delegate key members of the staff to waiting upon regulars. Never take employees for granted, involve them as you would if they were partners

or shareholders. In fact, good staff are more important than investors. By the same token it should be pointed out to employees that you encourage clients to report their experience as a customer. By doing so, everyone who uses your business becomes a shareholder. Encourage employees to suggest ways by which their business, which you think of as your business, can be improved. Doing so involves them. They feel your business is as important to them as it is to you. A key element is to find ways to recognise not just individual but team performance. Again, this can be in the form of a bonus, financial reward, time off in lieu or restaurant vouchers. By doing things this way your staff will be as keen as you are to stamp down on the dumb insolent.

Loose change A look at finance for females

EDUCATION is essential. But it’s how we educate our children that will see them succeed later in life. Sometimes children don’t need a fancy education or a run of titles after their name to become financially stable; they just need to have a little bit of real interest in something that excites them! Too often children are bored stiff and end up day dreaming their way through secondary school and university - if they make it to higher education. This is a problem. A half-hearted attention to learning is not conducive to nurturing the next Donald Trump or Richard Branson. What kids actually need is to be

They said this was not permitted under the rules for “any other business.” They also blocked a motion to pay the Vice President, who is an architect, to produce a detailed proposal. Previously we were told that a postal ballot for a lift is against Spanish law. Is there a way forward? E.M. (Costa Blanca) A. Yes, there is a way forward, but let us take your points one by one. First, it is true that the AGM rules do not permit a vote on a major issue such as the installation of a lift, without advance notice. Such a vote cannot be taken under the last section of the Agenda, of “any other business.” It must appear on the official Agenda issued to the members well in advance of the AGM, so that they have time to make an informed decision. Second, postal ballots are not permitted for the community AGM. First you need informed advice from a lawyer not connected with your community. To install a lift, which improves accessibility, you may well find help from revised Article 10 of the new Horizontal Law, which aims to help the

Previous winners, include two students from Chicago who created a football sock with a built-in pocket for shin guards. Their idea is currently being eyed-up by professional manufacturers. The push behind all this is not just about coming up with a killer business idea, it’s about getting kids excited and thinking about becoming their own boss. Not all students are academic and this type of

education helps gives others the chance to develop skills and perhaps shine in other areas. I personally love this approach to education. The old-fashioned robotic model of learn and regurgitate - that is all too common is Spanish schools - is outdated and inapt. Let’s give our children the opportunity to explore options, get excited about business and most importantly, try to become their own boss. The idea that anyone with a good idea and some hard work can become a success is one that parents and teachers should be promoting to the next generation.

The CNMC could not reveal the period in question, sources said, as this was an ongoing case. Neither should opening the investigation be allowed to pre-judge the energy company, they added. If Iberdrola is found to have been involved in ‘fraudulent price manipulation’ the multinational could be fined between €6 million and €60 million under Spain’s Electricity Sector laws. Despite the regulator’s tactful evasion, there is little doubt that the CNMC is interested in the days leading up to the quarterly

Prices rose so steeply that if they had not been annulled by the Spanish government, household electricity bills would have increased by 10.5 per cent. Since then the quarterly auctions have been abolished and the nonregulated portion of the consumers’ electricity bills

A descent to hell… T HE only thing going to stop young Muslim extremists from joining groups of murdering Jihadists is for their ‘religious’ leaders to cease convincing them they will enter the realms of paradise as a reward for their efforts. If they could only be taught that their crimes against humanity would put them on an inescapable spiral in the opposite direction you can bet their enlistments to these extremists’ organisations would fall to just about zero. But they won’t will they? Irrespective of whether these leaders fall into the ‘hate preacher’ category or not, I have never heard of one so called ‘moderate’ come out and put forward an alternate theory. The reason for this of course is that whatever their religious ideals, they all believe this Shangri-La hereafter ‘reward’ actually does exist. This of course, is the whole fundamental difference between decent caring Christians and the extremism of Islam. Christians believe that the more peaceful and blame free life you lead, the more chance you have of entering paradise, unfortunately these zealots believe exactly the opposite. Devout Christians truly do believe someone did actually return from the dead and teach them this was indeed the case. (Personally I retain an open mind!) All the Muslim world has is their flesh and blood leaders, who have no

A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene

ATCHING Felipe VI proclaimed king of Spain brought back memories of his wedding to Letizia Ortiz. The ceremony was officiated by Spain’s Grand Inquisitor Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouco Varela. During the interminable homily they occasionally stole sidelong glances at each other. Complicity? Love? One of those silent coded verdicts that couples exchange? We shall never know. But there was no Mass following last week’s parliament ceremony out of deference to Spain’s other religions, the Palace said. So perhaps, after all, we do have a vague hint of what Felipe and Letizia were thinking.

PODEMOS, the fledgling political party headed by Pablo Iglesias, was the fourth most-voted in the European elections.

Instead, if Podemos were ever in power it would end up smoothing the path of the moneymakers to ensure they go on making money as the rich get the cake and the politicians get the icing.

OPINION & COMMENT

Diamonds are for dummies… DIAMOND encrusted baby dummies and feeding bottles are now on sale costing tens of thousands of euros. Is that a waste and symbolic that today’s children are being spoilt? Do youngsters get given too much too soon or would it be better if they were made to work for their pocket money?

EVILLE and Anita Hooper, both retired and living in El Rincon, Arboleas, thought it was ridiculous. Neville said: “What’s wrong with using your thumb! I had to clean shoes and do a bit of gardening to earn my pocket money. I had to help out on my dad’s allotment.” Anita said: “I had to earn my pocket money as well, I used to have to do the washing up after tea.”

STREET TALK Dave Greatrex, 66, also from Arboleas said: “Obviously these things are for people with more money than sense. When I was a kid I had to wash my dad’s car to earn a few bob. I also helped the milkman on his round at weekends. I don’t think kids today have the same opportunity to earn extra money like we did. I think youngsters should be made to work for their pocket money though.” Retired residents of Quesada Mary and Liz could not believe diamond encrusted bottles and dummies WORKED: Neville and Anita worked for pocket money.

were on sale for babies: “What a waste of money.” Mary agreed: “It is silly, people are losing their senses, it is just outrageous.” The pair agreed that even if they had millions in the bank they wouldn’t spend money on these items.” Mother of two children aged four and one, Sharon Calder, on holiday in Rojales agrees: “Baby items are expensive enough and so to spend thousands on things like dummies that are always lost and left lying around everywhere is just ridiculous. This is really just something that celebrities would buy to get into the papers and make headlines. No normal person

would buy these, it’s not about giving in to the children or spoiling them it’s about what the parents want.” RIDICULOUS: Friends Mary and Liz don’t think diamond encrusted bottles and dummies are sensible.

T this time of year, air travel’s uppermost in many people’s minds. Not always a pleasant experience what with queuing, flight delays, screaming kids etc. Nonetheless, cabin crew do liven things up with the PA system - occasionally at the expense of passengers. EasyJet’s stock eye-opener was: “Ladies and gentlemen, we would like to inform you that we have on board someone very special today. He’s an 89-year-old gentleman making his very first flight. So, on leaving the plane, would you please shake hands with your pilot.” A Virgin flight attendant once announced: “It’s customary after a long-haul flight to ask for volunteers to clean the toilets. If you wish to volunteer, please stand up before the fasten seat-belt sign has been switched off.” And this during the safety briefing on the Canadian airline Westjet: “In the event of a sudden drop in cabin pressure, oxygen masks will

drop down. If you are travelling with someone who needs help, put your own mask on first, then help your husband.” BA passengers were also reportedly delighted with the following: “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard this British Airways flight to Denver. If your travel plans do not include visiting Denver, then now would be the perfect time to make yourself known to a member of the cabin crew.” Maybe cabin crew having fun at our expense is their way of getting their own back for the daft questions they’re asked on board.

That minus-60 temperature will be so invigorating! Naturally, the pilot can stop the turbulence he was only doing it on purpose. And the showers are right this way.

Hostages to misfortune Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

BOUT 10 years ago the word austerity returned to common use. I thought I knew what it meant but I checked it out anyway. Most of us now know what it means. Research reveals that in the EU and US more than 10,000 people have taken their own lives due to recession-related reasons. The term recession suggests an act of God. It is not. It is the wilful plundering of Western economies by banking cartels, conglomerates, corrupt and incompetent politicians. For many of us current austerity is an action replay. Yet, in some ways, I consider my generation, now sitting in God’s waiting room, as the lucky generation. The nature of war

VOLUNTEERS: War no longer for the masses. has changed though the curse of conflict is as widespread now as it was 1939 - 1945. Males born from 1940 onwards were the first in Britain who, unless they volunteered, would never wear military uniform. As a young seaman all my older peers had served in one of the services. The Merchant Navy lost a higher percentage of men to war than did Bomber Command. Yet, no one complained, no one

questioned it. Women gave birth, men served in the armed forces. Those old enough to be my big brother served the empire in India, Africa, the Middle and Far East; and in a shell crater that stretched from Liverpool to the Urals. We took death in our stride. As nippers it was commonplace to call in at a neighbour’s home to see and pay respect to someone who had gone on their not so merry way.

We bathed in a tin bath in front of a coke fire. We bought half a penny’s worth of fades; apples and pears too bruised to sell. Most people grew their own veg and we plucked or otherwise skinned chicken and rabbits that still had their feet and heads on. Many of us were to wait until we were working before we wore anything but second-hand clothes. The games we played were board games not bored

games. We spent hours playing tiddlywinks, cards, draughts, ludo, snakes and ladders. We still had ration books so purchase of food and clothing was strictly controlled. As in a prison you were allowed just enough to keep body and soul together. Heating and carpets were luxury items. For news we were dependent upon a tightly controlled media. As far as I can recall there were only two social classes, them and us. Austerity is trade linked and both prelude and consequence of war. When meeting US President Truman at Fulton in 1946, Winston Churchill was forthright: “The war was not just a matter of the elimination of Fascism in Germany but rather of obtaining German sales markets.” Today, Russia and China are seriously impacting on Western trade. This is the 1930s all over again. “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - for ever”. - George Orwell.

Faeces... a nasty habit Entertain me! David THE Dogman

COPROPHAGIA, to give the proper name to the condition where dogs eat faeces, is a natural form of behaviour which most dogs learn from puppyhood when their mother will clean up after them. It happens more in puppies which come from rescue kennels and pet shops. It can also be started by poor house-training where owners do not clean up after the pup. Boredom is another cause. Dogs that spend long periods alone in the garden or in kennels can develop this habit. In kennels, dogs will copy other dogs doing it. Don’t rub a dog’s nose in its excrement.

The gardens contain one of the finest collections of cacti and succulents in Europe with a range of more than 2,500 different species belonging to different botanical families originating from many different countries and continents.

By Lamia Walker of HouseSitMatch ONE of the challenges I face in running the housesitting network is finding fun ways to write some of the fab stories our members share with us. We love these stories, they show real solutions to problems. Here’s a lovely one that involves an expat owner, several four legged friends and a pet-friendly family of sitters from the UK! Owner Donnie, based near Murcia, came to us through a friend of a friend who had seen the website in France! “I need someone who can look after two horses, two dogs and a cat in August - oh, and the pool will need cleaning.” Mid-August, school holidays, pool and pets..? Hhmmm! That day I had an email from a friend saying how she had lost her job, was going freelance, and was looking for a fun and affordable way to spend the summer with her daughters, maybe on a farm in the UK so they can feed and ride horses. I sent her Donnie’s home owner profile. She registered as a sitter. They matched online. Another fabulous and very real solution!

Estepona schoolchildren hold a cake sale for charity CHILDREN from the International School Estepona recently held a cake sale after ‘Sports Day’ to raise money for the charity ‘Spanish Stray Dogs.’ Tanya Wright, Vice President of the charity and one of the school mums, had this to say: “Spanish Stray Dogs helps to support a pound in Algeciras and to rehome the unwanted dogs brought in from the streets by the council dog catcher. Currently there are around 300 animals in the pound and our monthly running costs are nearly €3,000. “Any donations towards food and vet bills are therefore greatly appreciated. The continued support of ISE has been a great help and also raises awareness of our cause to the students.” Tanya can be seen with some of the children involved in the fund-

As the weather hots up for summer, tips to combat the high temperatures TOP TIPS: Drink plenty of water or liquids often regardless of physical activity.

AS the weather hots up, health officials have launched their annual plan to prevent the effects of high temperatures which will stay in place until September 15. The Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality offers their top tips: Drink water or liquids often regardless of physical activity undertaken. Do not overindulge in drinks with caffeine, alcohol or large amounts of sugar, as they can lose more body fluid. Although anyone can have a problem with heat, pay special attention to infants and young

children, the elderly and people with diseases that may be aggravated by heat and dehydration, such as heart diseases. Stay as long as possible in cool, shaded or air-conditioned areas. Try to reduce physical activity and avoid sports outdoors during the hottest hours (12pm - 5pm). Never leave anyone in a closed parked vehicle. Consult your doctor if symptoms last longer than an hour and they can be related to the effects of high temperatures.

Newborn in hospital with Legionnaire’s believed to be PREGNANT women have been warned against using a specific type of home birthing pool after a baby became infected with Legionnaire’s disease. It comes as a baby in the UK remains in intensive care in hospital with the disease.

linked to birthing pool Samples taken from the heated pool, which has built-in filters that recirculates water and can be filled two weeks before the birth, confirmed the presence of

the legionella bacteria. It is the first reported case of Legionnaire’s disease linked to a birthing pool in England, according to Public Health

England (PHE). It is believed that women planning birth at home using a traditional pool that is filled when the woman is in labour are not affected by

this alert and should not be concerned. Legionnaire’s disease is a serious lung infection giving symptoms including high fever, muscle pain and chills and is usually caught by breathing in small droplets of contaminated water.

NICE SMILE: There are certain foods that can help whiten our teeth.

Eat dark chocolate for a whiter smile WE all know there are certain foods that can stain our teeth, but do you know the ones that can help whiten them? A dentist from Beverly Hills, USA, says dark chocolate, green tea and strawberries can help. Dr. Harold Katz says that the bitter powder of dark chocolate helps to harden the enamel surface of teeth which helps prevent staining and discolouration.

Green tea also prevents staining as it contains enzymes which stop bacteria sticking to the teeth and contains polyphenols which fight oral acids and bacteria. Strawberries contain malic acid, an enzyme that actually cleans stains off the teeth. Apples are also good as their texture toughens the gums reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth loss.

How to look after your hair in the summer TRY TO AVOID: Colouring in the intense sunlight of summer.

IF there is one part of our body that suffers in the summer it’s our hair - we go swimming and it either gets chlorine from the pool or salt from the sea

How to choose sun glasses THERE is only really one criterion that we all adhere to when choosing sun glasses - aesthetics - but we really should take other matters into account if we want to protect our eyes. All sun glasses lenses have UV filters and this is what you have to look at when choosing. If the tag claims the lenses are polarised then they are suitable for sports like skiing or sailing. It is best to buy them from an optician as then you

will know the lenses are EU approved and won’t hurt your eyes. The beach sellers are tempting with all the cheap knock offs but they are just that - cheap knock offs. Cheap sun glasses are often made of plastic and can be dangerous for the health of your eyes; they scratch easily and this is then compensated for by your eyes and can lead to “tired eye syndrome” (very red eyes!).

and then it is subjected to high temperatures and direct sunlight, all of which can have a negative effect on it. Here are a few tips to keep it looking and feeling healthy throughout the summer. Keep it well moisturised. Nothing is worse for your hair than being too dry, so treat yourself to a hair mask to help your usual conditioner. Try not to colour it in the months of the most intense sunlight. It will lose or change its colour very quickly when exposed to the strong

rays from the sun. Try to avoid hair dryers or heating tongs. These will only add to the dryness. If you are going to be in the sun for an extended period of time, protect your hair with a hat. If you have split ends, cut them. Not cutting the ends will make the whole length of the hair look unhealthy. If you have the time, rub a little olive oil into your hair and leave it there for at least two hours - this will condition it better than anything from a shop.

Directed by Gareth Edwards, the film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ken Watanabe. It has a run time of 123 minutes and is rated 12A.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) What is the reason that you are being held back? Are you sure that you are, in reality, being held back at all? These are not trick questions. Being honest with your answers this week will lift a cloud from your horizon. Perhaps you are seeing ghosts when there are only shadows. LEO (July 24 - August 23) With high energy you are seeking to get as much done as possible in a small amount of time. Rather than go at it ‘hammer and tongs’, it could be easier. Let someone help you out. They will find it satisfying and so you will both be happy. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You are freer than you imagine. Your imagination is letting you down a bit at the moment. Not for some time have opportunities been throwing themselves at you like this. The question is not if you should take up an offer but rather which one you should choose. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Give others the benefit of the doubt and your infinite patience this week. Situations will change from minute to minute. It would be a waste of energy to take anything at face value. Time is often the first thing to solve many problems. As with health, given a few days simple things will sort themselves out. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Although you are only too aware that you are capable of great good when you put your mind to it, it would be wise to bide your time this week. You may not realise that you are expending too much energy until your weary head hits the pillow. Be kind to your body. Some things that are taken for granted should not be so. This can lead to neglect. In neither home nor business is this recommended. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) It may seem that everyone wants your attention at the moment. There are times when you would like nothing more than to go away and clear your mind. This is not only possible but essential. You need some quiet moments. Even a day away can renew your spirits and energy.

IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK: Keep your mind open through the rest of this year. You have had your ups and downs but the worst of it is over. Complete security is not going to leap out at you but you have turned the corner. Romance has also been a bit rocky but is now settling.

June 26: Aubrey Plaza, 30. TV actress. Plaza shot to fame playing April Ludgate on the television series ‘Parks and Recreation’ - she also appeared in ‘The To Do List’ in 2013.

NAUGHT

AVERSE

July 1: Dan Aykroyd, 62. Actor. An originator of the ‘Blues Brothers’ film this Canadian actor is also a comedian, screenwriter and singer who starred in both ‘Ghostbusters’ films.

June 30: Jose Mota. Comedian. This comedian, actor, writer and director was an integral part of the comedy duo Cruz y Raya between 1989 and 2007. He got his start in the world of show business on the stages of Madrid clubs and was later picked up by Javier Sarda for his TV programme.

July 2 : Lindsay Lohan, 28. Film actress. Although now famous for having been through rehab she shot to fame in ‘The Parent Trap’ in 1998 and won several MTV Movie Awards for her role in ‘Mean Girls.’

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) So strong have been the practical considerations of late that you have been in a bad position. You need to live more for the ‘now’ and less for the ‘tomorrow’. Of course, life should be a mixture of both but sometimes it all gets a bit jumbled. Getting a few hours peace and quiet on your own may be all that you need. Getting enough sleep is also important in this situation.

PISCES (Febraury 20 - March 20) How you feel about someone will change dramatically during the week. This will surprise you. Thinking about it logically, though, you have been missing the point for some time. Someone who you always thought of as a friend turns out to be much more. How you deal with this is very much an individual thing.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Wanting to put things right with someone close is a good instinct to have. It would certainly give you peace of mind. Indeed, this should be a quiet and peaceful week and one that is long overdue. Being successful in business is only one part of success. The light is dawning that what you have always wanted has changed.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Putting all of your eggs in one basket is rarely to be advised. It should particularly be avoided this week. For the sake of speed and ease it will be tempting to take short cuts and make decisions that are bland. These will, of their nature, not be of the ‘good’ or ‘great’ categories. You are capable of better.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) With your engine revving and the road ahead clear, a sense of great freedom is with you. There are those for whom this week is a chance to really make headway. For some, though, it is an irksome task. The difference is that some of you are taking a negative attitude. Make sure that yours is positive and you will have a chance to make real progress

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Someone very special could come into your life. You must, however, be at the ball to meet the prince. This opportunity for happiness is not going to jump up and bite you. A phone call could be the start of it all. Accept invitations and get out and about. Be aware of what is going on so that you can be in the right place at the right time.

Here are a few of them: 1. Thomas Jefferson Was a pioneering archaeologist. Jefferson was keen on many subjects and among them was archaeology.

He spent his free time indulging in his passion for all things aquatic; he even had his own marine laboratory with marine biologists on staff. 3. Victoria Woodhull Was a successful clairvoyant. Woodhull was a pioneer of the American suffragette movement even running for president with the Equal Rights Party. Before she achieved success in women’s rights she put on a convincing show as a seer of fortunes and psychic clairvoyant. 4. Paul Revere Was a pioneer in forensic dentistry. Most famous for his ‘midnight ride’ during the American Revolution, he studied dentistry and went on to identify the remains of revolutionary soldiers by their teeth so they could have a proper burial from their families. 5.

It tells the story of lonely and overweight former homicide detective Bill Hodges who comes out of retirement and sets out to stop a lunatic named Brady Hartsfield who drives a stolen Mercedes into a crowd of unsuspecting unemployed people lined up for a spot at a job fair, killing eight and

injuring 15. Months later, haunted by the still unsolved crime, Hodges gets a letter from a man who threatens to carry out an even deadlier attack. Obsessed with stopping the homicidal maniac, Hodges pairs up with some of Stephen King’s most unlikely heroes in a suspenseful race against time to stop the killer before he can strike again.

8. Gerald Ford Was an NFL prospect. Before becoming president of the US, Ford was scouted by the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions. 9. Lee Wallace Was a bestselling novelist.

Watermelon suggestions THERE is no fruit more appropriate for summer than the humble watermelon - it’s juicy and light and just shouts summer! Straight from the rind is not the only way to enjoy this summer staple - here are a few suggestions on how to jazz it up a little. Watermelon pizza. Just slice the melon like a pizza and then top it with a strong cheese like feta or cured manchego, add a little fresh basil and you’re ready to go. Watermelon slushy. A lot of the slushies available out there are loaded with frightening amounts of sugar so why not just take the rind off the watermelon

WATERMELON SLUSHY: The healthy alternative. and throw it into the liquidiser for a minute with some ice, and possibly a

little squirt of lemon juice, and you have the perfect summer refresher.

Honey grilled watermelon salad. Next time you have a barbecue cut some watermelon into large cubes, smother in honey and throw onto the grill. Now mix some tomato, cucumber and lettuce in with the roasted watermelon and dress to taste. Summer watermelon salad. Cut the watermelon into cubes as before and add to a mix of avocado, feta, radish, red onion, mint and chives. Watermelon ice cubes. A great way to cool down your drink, this goes well with soft drinks and even wine, just make watermelon balls, put them into the freezer and then plop them into your drink.

Making tapas funky…

HE area of Nueva Andalucia has long been associated with the dining out scene. The heart of Golf Valley plays host to many fine houses, apartments and of course golf clubs. Its residents and guests are spoilt for choice. But an emerging gastronomic area has shifted the limelight from Aloha and surrounding areas to the area of La Campana. This once sleepy pueblo boasts a lively social scene. An eclectic array of local bars, cater for the great mix of local residents and visitors of all nationalities that frequent the area. Places to eat abound, from one of the finest ‘chicken shacks’ on the Coast to the very popular Red Cloud, an American style diner and sports bar. A busy well established Spanish restaurant and tapas bar is in contrast to the newly opened French pastry shop and tea/coffee rooms. But there are two venues that steal the limelight. Restaurant Nueva Campana has been open for more than two years. On the site of an old established Spanish restaurant, La Campana, Nueva Campana, as the name may suggest, was totally refurbished by serial restaurateur, Garry Waite. Keeping the rustic style but with a modern touch this intimate eatery serves a Modern Mediterranean and Retro menu.

Comfortable seating, open fire for the winter, private dining room for those special occasions and beautiful vine covered terraces with fountain make Nueva Campana an ideal all year around venue. Summer dining on the terraces is enhanced with the music of resident pianist Jens and makes this venue one of the most popular in La Campana. However the place that is attracting the most attention at the moment is recently opened Funky Tapas. Under the auspices of the aforementioned Garry Waite, after only six months this trendy restaurant and cocktail bar has become the place to go in Nueva Andalucia and beyond. As its name implies this is a modern, trendy place with cool colours, modern decor, chill out and cafe del mar music and great food. Basically it’s fine dining in smaller portions, plenty of choice with something for everyone. It may seem a small wine list but it offers 10 superb wines by the glass. Good looking

staff serve efficiently and always with a smile. As in keeping with similar style venues in Madrid and London, Funky Tapas has an extensive cocktail list and boasts Ginspirations and Vodkamania. Nearly every gin and vodka you can think of served in a variety of different ways. Large terraces mean that lunching and dining ‘al fresco’ is a must. With two more restaurants due to open in the next month La Campana is setting itself up to be the gastro centre of Golf Valley. If you haven’t been yet, make your way there... you will be pleased you did.

Fried rice : comfort food WHILE it could be a bold statement to say everyone loves fried rice, there are countless delicious recipes from around the world. It is a well-known fact that fried rice is a common staple in American Chinese cuisine. But there are countless variations, chaulafan (Ecuador), omurice (Japan), sinangag (Philippines) and Bai cha (Cambodia). Making fried rice is not rocket science. But getting it just right takes a little know-how. It is preferable to use cold leftover cooked rice. Leaving the rice in the fridge will help the grains firm up, thus considerably reducing the chances of the rice turning out mushy. While a large pan will do, it is much better to use a hot wok and enough oil so ingredients donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stick to the surface. Some believe all the flavour should actually

ON June 10 the Levante newspaper published an interesting chart indicating the number of tropical nights, when night temperatures did not fall below 20 degrees centigrade, in urbanised locations in the Valencia region. The trend is significant, a five-fold increase since

EVENING DINING: A plant covered gazebo with subtle lighting so you can enjoy nature to the full. 1940 and almost a doubling since the 1970’s when tourist urbanisation began in earnest. The number of tropical nights is now approaching 90 per annum and in Murcia and Andalucía the number is probably greater. We are now in this annual season and it is great to arrange to eat with friends in a night scented garden, with continuous wafts of scent from plants

such as Dama de Noche and San Diego, with summer drinks and tapas from 8.30pm onwards, and perhaps not starting to eat the main courses until even 10pm or later. Are you able to do this with pleasure in your garden? Do thick high hedges hide you from neighbours, have you planted night scented plants in strategic locations down-wind from your

regular eating places, have you located outdoor speakers so that good background music can be played, have you located cooking and eating places in the heart of the garden to enjoy nature to the full including internal vistas lit subtly by floodlights, the night chorus of croaking frogs from a pond with the trickle of water from fountains and bats flashing past? I have three main evening eating places in the garden. A plant surrounded gazebo with facilities for cooking grills, paellas, tagines and fideos; an open terrace for eating baked and barbecued meats and fish on and in a Mexican oven; and a covered eating terrace outside the kitchen with a great night time vista of the heart of the back garden for eating things prepared in the kitchen should it rain. Amazingly it did rain, or rather drizzle, for an hour yesterday evening even though the grand total of the precipitation was just one millimetre. But just a dozen kilometres away our neighbouring village had a really heavy storm.

Ibiza Cupster a fun car IT is certainly an unusual look. Seat’s Ibiza Cupstar prototype captures the imagination with a design that is as emotional as it is dynamic according to the Volkswagen owned manufacturer. Seat Design has created a surprising reinterpretation for the Ibiza Cupster: While

www.euroweeklynews.com

the body shell is largely the same as that of the seriesproduction model Ibiza up to the shoulder line, everything above it is radically open. The two-seater fun car has no roof whatsoever; and even the classic front windscreen has given way to a low, wrap-around strip

of glass. Nevertheless, the driver and co-driver are well protected - thanks to the seating position, which is 70 millimetres lower than in the series-production car. As the Cupster the Ibiza has completely new proportions - wide, low and even more powerful. The steering wheel is

clad with an especially sophisticated type of leather - pure aniline leather is coloured all the way through, without a layer of pigment, making it open-pored, very supple and wonderful to the touch. The one-off created and built by Seat Design is resplendent in ‘New Orange’ paintwork formulated specifically for it. The dark grey cover behind the classic doublebubble style seats looks almost like an island in this sea of bright orange. The interior is purist and based on the Ibiza race cars from the Ibiza Trophy run in several European countries. Minimalist instruments and bucket seats.

Spotlight p g on Lauralie I had the pleasure to meet Lauralie Migneaux recently, a French youngster living on the Costa del Sol with aspirations to make it to the very top in the game. She was born in Bayonne (France) in 1997 and studies at home with her private tutor, whilst spending most of her free time at the ‘A & B Golf School’ at El Chaparral Golf. She began to play golf at the age of seven, purely by chance, because she had

been very ill two years previously. Bedridden for one month and in a wheelchair for a year, the doctors recommended she take up a sedate sport; not one involving jumping nor running. Luckily for Lauralie her father was playing a little golf, so brought her with him on the golf course. From driving the buggy, she progressed to hitting a few balls; it soon be came obvious she had a natural swing and was very talented.

For example, when she was eight her first handicap was 32, but within a year this had been cut to 15. Travelling to the States she competed in the World US Kids Golf championship and finished ninth; the following year sixth. By the age of 12 she was playing off five and winning most of the regional and national events she entered in her native France (double French champion, stroke play and match play)

handicap was cut to +1.5, she received the great news that she had been selected to represent France in the European Championship in Slovakia this July. Since the age of eight, Lauralie’s dream has been to become a professional golfer. However, playing in these prestigious amateur events with no prize money doesn’t come cheap; without a sponsor or funding it is nigh on impossible. This year she has qualified for the Evian Championship and the Annika Invitational but is currently unable to play because of the costs involved. If there are any local businesses out there interested in supporting a young girl with the potential to play amongst the world’s elite, this page would be pleased to forward contact details on your behalf.

Unfortunately, her formative teenage years were spent away from the golf course as she started growing too quickly, resulting in her temporarily leaving the game. By the age of 15 however, she was back in the swing of things and was soon invited to play in her first professional tournament on the Banesto Tour. Since then her game has gone from strength to strength, winning important amateur events along the way and competing against not only juniors, but adults (claiming the scalp of the 17th ranked player in the world at the International French Championship) and gaining her very own place in the Amateur World Golf Rankings - currently 41st. Having just had a good finish at the German International Championship where her

Nico wins Austrian GP at Red Bul From Back Page Last Saturday, Jerome Boateng (Germany) played against his brother Kevin Prince (Ghana) in a thrilling 2-2 draw which saw Miroslav Klose score a record equalling 15th World Cup final goal for the Germans. Algeria won their first WC finals game for 32 years, beating Korea Republic 4-2 and so far, one third of the goals in Brazil have been scored from right-wing crosses/corners. FORMULA 1 - Grand Prix racing returned to Austria last weekend when 65,000 fans at Spielberg’s Red Bull Ring saw Nico Rosberg win the 307km race. His teammate Lewis Hamiton was second, Finland’s Valtterri Bottas (Williams) third (his first podium finish) and Felipe Massa, from pole position, fourth. After the fifth Mercedes one-

Miraflores Bowling Club play in FootBowl World Cup competition BY some incredible coincidence, FIFA arranged the opening match for the 2014 football World Cup to take place on the same day as the Miraflores BC FootBowl World Cup Competition. This was very fitting as the two competitions had many things in common - multi-national teams, exotic settings, tropical heat, huge partisan crowds of spectators, occasional violent scenes and cliff hanger final stages. The following countries emerged successfully from the group stages, Belgium, (Mike and Pam Kinane), Chile, (Lenny and Amber Dineen), Germany, (Graham and Ann Rowley) and USA, (John and Eleanor Morgan). The English team, (Tommy and Joyce), after massive press publicity, predictably disappointed their loyal supporters. The final stages produced some spectacular results, with both semifinals ending in draws. The Chile v Germany produced a magnificent

performance from Pam Kinane on the last end. With the score at 2-1 to Germany, Pam delivered her four bowls clustered around the jack, to equalise for Chile. In the penalty shoot outs, USA managed to beat Chile, with

Eleanor scoring the winning penalty. More drama in the other penalty shoot out, as Mike scored a penalty for Belgium, with his second shot. But in true stalwart Germanic style, Graham ‘netted’ both of his attempts to take his adopted country forward to the final. The final was watched by an enthusiastic crowd, who saw Germany beat Chile, 2-1. When all the players had finished swapping

shirts and the crowds settled down, Craig and Sandra Lewis were thanked for staging the first FootBowl Competition on the coast and continuing Miraflores BC’s tradition for excellent hospitality. Craig and Sandra welcome all bowlers to participate in this excellent alternative format, every Sunday, 10am for 10:30am, at Miraflores BC, (dress casual). Report by John Carr and photos by Craig Lewis and Pam Kinane.

THERE is plenty of sporting action going on right now with the tennis

at Wimbledon (with defending champion Andy Murray on court), World Cup football in Brazil and the 2014 Equestrian event at Hickstead. Starting tomorrow we have the three-day UK Athletics Championships in Birmingham, on Saturday South Africa play Scotland at rugby and on Sunday, Spain’s superbiker Marc Marquez

will be seeking to win his eighth MotoGP victory of the season in Assen, Holland. FIFA WORLD CUP England and holders Spain (for whom Andreas Iniesta won his 100th cap) were eliminated at the group stage. Not good - but England boss Roy Hodgson is staying on - it’s Euro 2016 next. Lionel Messi has already scored two

terrific goals with more to come! His last-kick beauty beat Iran 1-0 to put Argentina into the last 16 where they join Belgium, Brazil, Germany, France, Holland, Costa Rica, possibly Algeria and others. The USA, lucky Portugal and Italy were also hoping to proceed. The knockout stage starts this weekend. Turn to Page 150
