EDITORIAL Ahora que estamos bien y metidos he realizado mi sueño!

de lleno en el verano, nos estamos concentrando en llevarle la máxima información de la gran cantidad de eventos y actividades en las próximas semanas y meses, con cambios constantes y nuevos eventos, conciertos, etc. que son anunciados casi a diario. Les recomendamos que visiten nuestra página web y Facebook en www. theresident.eu y www.facebook. com/TheResident.Spain donde podrán mantenerse informados.

También podrán encontrar cientos de fotos correspondientes a las crónicas y acontecimientos.

También en estas imágenes hay fotos de celebracio nes tales como la histórica victoria de España contra Italia en la final de la Eurocopa. Me recuerdo de haber pensado, que sería bonito estar en el país victorioso, bien ¡

Esta victoria futbolística de España por lo menos ayuda a levantar la moral del país en estos tiempos difíciles.

También hemos captado increíbles imágines de dos grandes fuegos, el más reciente el de Torreguadiaro a finales del mes pasado. Esto me ayuda a recordaros que durante este tiempo seco y caluroso tenemos que tomar medidas y cuidados para que no se produzcan desastres como éstos.

Tan sólo escribiré unas pequeñas líneas este mes ya que estoy seguro que tenéis mejores cosas que hacer y no leer lo que digo, así pues disfrutad del resto del verano.

Hablamos We Speak

Now that we’re well and truly into the summer season we’ve been concentrating on bringing you as much information on the huge number of events and activities going on over the coming weeks and months. With constant changes and new events, concerts, etc., being announced almost daily we’d recommend that you visit our website and Facebook page at www.theresident.eu and www.facebook.com/TheResident.

Spain where you can keep up to date on what’s going on. You will also find hundreds of photos chronicling the news and events as they happen.

Included in these images are pictures of the celebrations following Spain’s historic win over Italy in the European Cup Final. I remember once thinking wouldn’t it be nice to be in a country

when it won a major event such as this, well I’ve certainly fulfilled that dream over the past four years!

At least it helped lift the mood of the country in these difficult economic times.

We’ve also managed to capture some incredible images from a couple of big bush fires, the most recent in Torreguadiaro at the end of last month. Whilst making great viewing, they also serve as a reminder that during this hot dry spell we need to take extra care.

Well I’ll keep it short this month as I’m sure you’ve got better things to do than listen to me go on, so enjoy the rest of the summer.

Until next time then, Regards, The Editor.

El dueño de 24 obras de Ortega Brú cede su colección para la nueva sala dedicada al artista Un total de 24 piezas realizadas por Luis Ortega Brú han sido cedidas por su propietario, Enrique Hernández Luike, al Ayuntamiento de San Roque para ser expuestas en la nueva sala dedicada al genial artista sanroqueño en el Palacio de los Gobernadores,

que será inaugurada el próximo día 26.

Las obras - la mayoría esculturas en madera y bronce, pero también algunos cuadros de gran formato - llegaron esta semana, de Sevilla tras varios meses de negociaciones.

The owner of 24 pieces by Ortega Bru gives his collection to the new room dedicated to the artist A total of 24 pieces by Luis Ortega Bru were provided by their owner, Enrique Hernandez Luike, to San Roque to be exhibited in the new room dedicated to the great San Roque artist in the Palacio de Gobernadores, which will be inaugurated

Uno de los hijos más famosos de San Roque, el actor Juan Luis Galiardo, conocido por papeles en el cine como Don Quijote y en la película de Charlton Heston “Antonio y Cleopatra”, murió la semana pasada a los 72 años.

“Una enfermedad rápida y devastadora se ha llevado uno de los rostros más populares e importantes en el cine de nuestro país, el teatro y la televisión”, decía un comunicado publicado en su página web oficial después de su muerte la noche del viernes 22 de junio.

Nacido en 1940, Galiardo comenzó su carrera de cinco décadas de cine actuando en la década de 1960 y llegó a la atención internacional a través de

películas como “Antonio y Cleopatra”, dirigida y protagonizada por Heston en 1971.

Más tarde trabajó durante varios años en México antes de regresar a España y asumir su rol de cómico caballero Don Quijote, en la película de la obra clásica española dirigida por Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón en 2002.

La etapa más prolífica de su carrera incluye papeles principales como El rey Lear, Edipo y ‘The Miser’ de Moliere.

Galiardo será recordado por los residentes de San Roque por el Teatro Juan Luis Galiardo que con orgullo lleva su nombre.

San Roque actor Galiardo dies aged 72 One of San Roque’s most famous sons, actor Juan Luis Galiardo, known for such film roles as Don Quixote and in Charlton Heston’s “Anthony and Cleopatra”, died last week aged 72.

“A quick and devastating illness has taken away one of the most popular and significant faces in our country’s cinema, theatre and television,” read a statement posted on his official website after his death late Friday June 22.

Born in 1940, Galiardo began his fivedecade film acting career in the early 1960s and came to international attention in pictures such as “Anthony and Cleopatra” directed by and starring Heston in 1971.

He later worked for several years in Mexico before returning to Spain and played his defining role as the comic knight Quixote in a film of the Spanish classic directed by Manuel Gutierrez Aragon in 2002.

His prolific stage career included leading

roles such as King Lear, Oedipus and Moliere’s “The Miser”.

Galiardo will live on in local memory as San Roque’s theatre, Teatro Juan Luis Galiardo proudly bears his name.

Quesería Crestellina

Un queso de cabra autóctono elaborado por expertas manos artesanas, instalaciones donde puede seguirse todo el proceso de elaboración artesanal y una ganadería con cabreros de toda la vida, pueden ser tres buenas razones para hacer una visita. Y eso es lo que pensaron en la Quesería Crestellina de Casares, incentivar un turismo que une artesanía, naturaleza y gastronomía.

La quesería casareña está impulsando el turismo y la economía local organizando visitas a la fábrica y al pueblo.

El Proyecto va dirigido en una de sus fases a empresas y particulares que quieran vincularse con los productos

Vecinos y Amigos de Marina de Casares

naturales.

Muestra de ello es la cata que se llevaba a cabo ayer mismo con un maridaje de queso y vino para la Asociación de Ferraris de Andalucía, quienes además visitaron restaurantes del municipio.

La otra iniciativa de este proyecto turístico es la visita de alumnos escolares a las instalaciones de la fábrica de quesos, en la que los niños vuelven a un estilo de fabricación que se está perdiendo y además hacen de embajadores de productos de calidad como es la Quesería Crestellina, una de las excelencias turísticas de Casares.

Junio ha sido un mes muy ocupado; algunos del Club hicimos un viaje al Pirineo, Lardes y Andorra, fue la primera vez que la mayoría de nosotros conocía esta maravillosa zona norte de España y Francia. Poco después de nuestro regreso tuvimos una comida en el restaurante Ármstrongs donde disfrutamos de un buffet y por la tarde un té celebrando el día de las mujeres de ´Ascot´. Las mujeres estaban esplendorosas con sus sombreros y vestidos que habrían servido para cualquier Fiesta de la Realeza.

Nuestra cena/fiesta de San Juan reunió a casi 70 miembros del Club alrededor de las mesas puestas en los jardines de Marina de Casares disfrutando de una variedad internacional de exquisiteces.

Esta noche fue especial para nosotros ya que pudimos disfrutar del placer de la compañía de la Señora Alcaldesa Doña Antonia Morera y nuestra nuevaconcejal, Doña Antonia Pineda.

El Ayuntamiento volvió a proveer una noche espectacular de entretenimiento

y disfrute para los cientos de personas que asistieron a la fiesta. Incluso tuvimos como sorpresa un “Baile del Vientre”¨para el cumpleaños de un miembro del club que estuvo presente.

Finalmente nuestro Club disfruto del “Torneo de Verano” en Doña Julia Golf Club el jueves 28 de Junio, seguido de un almuerzo en el restaurante La Casona. El evento estuvo muy concurrido con cerca de 30 miembros e invitados asistiendo a la comida. Doña Julia Golf Club donó generosamente el premio de ganador de dos green fees de 18 hoyos, incluyendo “buggy” lo cual fue ganado por Barrie Hill. Con el sol brillando casi igual al golf, todos los golfistas disfrutaron de un fabuloso día en el campo y agradecimientos profusos a Barrie Hill para la organización de un evento tan maravilloso! Hasta la próxima!

Crestellina Cheese Factory A native goat’s cheese crafted by expert hands, facilities where you can follow the whole process of cheese production and a herd of goats taken care of by the most experienced shepherds, may be three good reasons for a visit. And that’s what they thought at the Crestellina Cheese Factory in Casares, encouraging tourism linking crafts, nature and gastronomy.

The factory is promoting tourism and local economy by organizing visits to the factory and the town.

The Project is partially aimed at companies and individuals who wish to associate with

natural products.

Proof of this is the tasting that took place recently with cheese and wine for the Association of Ferraris of Andalusia, who also visited restaurants in the municipality.

The other initiative of the tourism project is for school pupils to visit the facilities of the cheese factory, in which the children return to a style of manufacturing that is being lost and are also make ambassadors of quality products such as the Crestellina Cheese, one of the major tourist attractions in Casares.

Festival de Caridad para el Sahara del Sur Este fin de semana Casares será el anfitrión de un festival para ayudar al pueblo del Sahara del Sur. Junto con diversas actividades, mercado artesano, etc, habrá música en vivo representando una amplia variedad de estilos desde el flamenco hasta el reggae y el rock, incluyendo:

Viernes 06 de julio desde las 20:00 h.

Etnobabú Percusión, Juna Pinillas, Lucía Sócam, y The Kastors.

Sábado 07 de julio Dj Ale Dc, Sambagua Do Rio, La Frac, Aziza Brahim y GuliliMankoo, Tragic Company y Dj Rastrojo World Music Set. La entrada es gratuita.

Solidarity Festival in aid of Southern Sahara This weekend Casares Costa will host a festival in aid of the people of the Southern Sahara.

Along with various activities, craft market, etc., there will be live music representing a wide range of styles from flamenco to reggae and rock to world music including: Friday July 6 from 8 pm

Friends and Neighbours of Marina de Casares June has been a very busy social month; some club members took a trip to the Pirineo, Lourdes and Andorra, the first time that most of them have seen this beautiful part of northern Spain and France. Shortly afterwards, the club took three full tables at Armstrongs restaurant where they enjoyed a buffet lunch and afternoon cream tea whilst celebrating ‘Ladies Day’ at Ascot.

The ladies were in full splendour with their hats and dresses that would grace any Royal enclosure.

The club’s San Juan dinner party with almost 70 members seated around tables in the gardens of Marina de Casares enjoyed a gourmet and international feast. This evening was special as they were joined

by Mayor Señora Antonia Morera and the new councillor for Casares Costa, Antonia Pineda. The Ayuntamiento again provided a spectacular evening of entertainment and

excitement for all the hundreds of people who went along to enjoy. There was also a ‘Belly Dancer’ as a birthday surprise for one of the male members present.

Finally, the Club enjoyed the “Summer Tournament” golf day at Dona Julia Golf Club on Thursday 28 June, followed by a club lunch at La Casona Restaurant. The event was very well attended with around 30 members and guests attending. Dona Julia Golf Club generously donated the overall winner’s prize of two green fees for 18 holes including buggy won by a delighted Barrie Hill! With the sun blazing and the golf hot as well, all enjoyed a fabulous day out and thanks go out to Barrie Hill for organizing such a wonderful event. Here’s to the next one!

Amnistía fiscal aprobada en junio del 2012

El pasado 4 de Junio el Boletín Oficial de Estado publicó la información relativa a la amnistía fiscal. Ha habido múltiples rumores acerca de esto en los últimos meses.

La Amnistía fiscal es una idea del gobierno de España al objeto de tratar de convencer a las personas y empresas que tengan pertenencias y efectivo no declarados en casa para que legalicen su situación y de este modo se genere un ingreso adicional para la Agencia Tributaria.

El impuesto a pagar sería el 10% del valor de los bienes o efectivo a declarar.

Por lo tanto, cualquiera (individuo o empresa), que tenga 100.000 Euros en efectivo, puede legalizar estos fondos depositándolos en cualquier banco y pagando el 10% de esta cantidad, es decir 10.000 Euros a la Agencia Tributaria.

La fecha límite para declarar cualquiera de estos bienes y efectivo es el 30 de Noviembre de 2012, y es de obligado cumplimiento el hacerlo a través de internet con el modelo fiscal 750.

En principio, parece un procedimiento sencillo y directo, pero después de leer la publicación oficial de esta Amnistía Fiscal, todas las implicaciones fiscales no están explicadas en profundidad.

Claramente se señala que esta Amnistía

se refiere al impuesto de la renta y sociedades pero no a otro tipo de impuestos. Por lo tanto, implica que el fisco podría reclamar otro tipo de impuestos tales como el IVA de las transacciones no declaradas en el pasado.

CONCLUSIÓN: Recomendamos a cualquier individuo o empresa que pueda estar en situación de favorecerse de esta Amnistía Fiscal, que tenga la precaución y retrase la toma de decisión por el momento hasta que todas las implicaciones de carácter fiscal estén clarificadas al 100%.

Dado que las implicaciones fiscales no están totalmente claras, la Agencia Tributaria se verá obligada a clarificarlas a lo largo del próximo mes aproximadamente. Entonces, cuando no exista la posibilidad de equívocos en la interpretación de esta Amnistía, será el momento de decidir el favorecerse de la misma y declarar a la Agencia Tributaria los bienes ocultos y el efectivo que posean las personas y las empresas.

Tax Amnesty approved in June 2012

On the 4th June the Spanish National Gazette (Boletin Oficial del Estado) published the information regarding the Tax Amnesty. There have been many rumours about it in last few months.

The Tax Amnesty is an idea from the Spanish Government to be used as a way of convincing people and companies, who have undeclared possessions and cash at home, to legalize the situation of these assets, thus creating an additional income for the Inland Revenue.

The amount of tax to be paid would be 10 % of the value of the assets, or cash to be declared. Therefore, someone, (an individual or a company), who has 100,000 euro in cash, can legalize these funds by depositing them at any bank and paying 10 % of this amount, i.e. 10,000 Euros to the Tax office.

The deadline to declare any assets or cash is 30th November 2012, and it is compulsory to do it on-line with the tax form 750.

In principle, it seems quite a simple and straightforward procedure, but after reading the official publication of this Tax Amnesty, all of the tax implications are not fully explained. It clearly states that this Amnesty refers to income and company taxes, but not to other taxes. Therefore,

it implies, that the taxman could claim other different taxes, such us VAT for the transactions not declared in the past.

CONCLUSION: We recommend that any individual or company that may be in a position to take advantage of this Tax Amnesty should be careful and delay doing anything for the moment until all of the tax implications are 100% clear.

As the tax implications are not entirely clear, the Inland Revenue will be forced to clarify them within the next month or so. Then, when there’s no possibility of misunderstanding the interpretation of the Amnesty, would be the time to decide to take advantage of the situation and declare any hidden assets or funds that people or companies may have, to the Inland Revenue.

For further advice on this matter or to arrange a no obligation meeting to discuss your particular circumstances in detail, please contact Denise Molony on mob.

The English Bookshop … One year on

“My parrot and I” have been trading for one year now and could not be more pleased with the support customers have given, along with the wonderful compliments in respect to the changes in the shop.

In the last 12 months we have been busy reorganising the shelves and putting books in order so that customers can browse through the sections at their leisure. We have also kept up to date with the latest novels and best sellers as well as extending the educational books and dictionaries. We have given support too for “Local Authors” who have penned, Detective stories, Thrillers, Romance and personal conquests.

As well as all that we have created a larger area for the children’s books, which range in age from 0 to 16 yrs and brought in new Scholastic books to be able to help and encourage school kids with grammar and vocabulary.

In the last year we have introduced a new line in greeting cards, gift wrap, bags and tags, which many customers have complimented us on. However we felt that something more was needed and brought in Helium Balloons which have been very successful for Birthdays, Anniversaries and Weddings etc.

Christmas and New Year encouraged us to bring in more party themes and Valentine’s Day saw us selling handmade Chocolates which accompanied the love heart balloons!!

We have now introduced a range of plain colours which we can personalise to make any occasion extra special.

On the business side of things we have gained customer confidence by working with Offex, who provide a professional postal and courier service enabling us to send 1st and 2nd class post to the UK and rest of the world. Letters and parcels can be

recorded allowing us to be able to “Track & Trace” to make sure items arrive safely and securely and important documents can be sent by special delivery with compensation up to 1000€. When renewing an out of date or lost/stolen passport we provide all the necessary information and if needed, documents too, so to make the hassle of form filling a little lighter.

We have recently introduced the sales of Hits Mobile sim cards as well as mobile phone top ups which have been a great success, also we have started to sell Mobile Telephone Packs, which give you the phone, sim card and 5,00€ credit all in one go.

So, what is next for year 2? Well, we are in the process of having a new storeroom built, which will enable us to extend into the one we only had built last year. Our intention is to bring new ideas and new lines into the shop making it not just the only great bookshop in the area but also a great card and party shop by doubling the amount of greeting cards and introducing party theme ideas. As the mobile phone sales have increased we would like to extend the range of telephones and also introduce a fax and photocopying service. Stationary will be on sale too, so I don’t keep having to send people elsewhere whenever they need a Jiffy Bag!! Gifts and locally handmade crafts will be available making the shop a place where you can buy a card, find a gift, have it wrapped and have it sent by post to its destination that same day. Oh and while you are waiting to have your gift wrapped you get to hear all the local gossip!!

So, a big thank you once again from Eva and myself for making year 1 so exciting and successful, we can’t wait to report back after year 2. Steve.

20 empresas han presentado ofertas para remodelar el entorno del faro La concejala del área de Fomento, Susana Arahuetes, ha informado de que un total de 20 empresas han presentado oferta para optar a la adjudicación de las obras de remodelación del entorno de faro de Punta Doncella. La edil ha incidido en el gran interés que ha despertado este proyecto entre las constructoras, lo que ha argumentado como una muestra de la confianza que los proyectos impulsados por el Consistorio está generando.

La concejala ha explicado que una vez que los técnicos municipales estudien cada uno de las ofertas presentadas y comprueben “que cumplen todos los criterios exigidos”, el Consistorio procederá a resolver la adjudicación de la obra a la mejor oferta, según los

criterios de la mesa de adjudicación que ya está en marcha. Asimismo, ha anunciado que los trabajos podrían comenzar este verano, una vez finalizado el procedimiento administrativo, contemplándose un plazo de ejecución de seis meses.

Este proyecto de remodelación del entorno del faro está incluido dentro de las actuaciones del plan Qualifica, que lo integra un consorcio formado por el Gobierno central, Junta de Andalucía, Diputación de Málaga y ocho ayuntamientos de la Costa del Sol. El total de esta actuación asciende a 900.000 euros, de los cuales 300.000 euros serán aportados por el Consistorio y 600.000 euros por el consorcio Qualifica.

20 companies submit bids for the remodelling of the lighthouse area Estepona’s development councillor, Susana Arahuetes, announced that some 20 companies have submitted tenders for the remodelling of the lighthouse zone. The councillor also stated that the interest raised by this project is a sign of the confidence the current administration’s management is generating in the area.

There will now be a period of consultation

during which all the bids are considered after which the contract will be awarded to the tender that best fulfills the criteria.

It is anticipated that work could begin this summer once the administrative procedures are completed with an estimated period of six months for completion.

This remodelling project is part of the regional government’s Qualifica tourism

Dar la Espalda al Dolor Sin medicamentos ni cirugía, de un modo natural, la quiropráctica alivia el dolor buscando el origen de la enfermedad. La columna vertebral tiene las claves.

Se trata de una de las medicinas alternativas más reconocidas. Se encarga de estudiar los problemas biomecánicos estructurales, especialmente los de la columna vertebral, y cómo estos afectan a la salud. La palabra quiropráctica significa hecho con las manos, lo cual es bastante indicativo a la hora de entender esta terapia, ya que las manos son el instrumento fundamental que usan los doctores especializados en esta rama.

La quiropráctica es algo lógico y sencillo.

No cura los síntomas, sino que va directo al origen de las enfermedades. La columna vertebral tiene una importancia fundamental. Esta especialidad médica es todavía muy poco conocida en nuestro país y requiere una carrera de seis años de estudios. Se basa en la premisa de que la buena salud depende de un sistema nervioso que funcione correctamente.

Para que esto sea así es esencial que la columna vertebral esté en buen estado, ya que las alteraciones estructurales de la posición de las vértebras pueden irritar o comprimir los nervios que, desde la médula (protegida por la columna) salen y se reparten por el cuerpo. Lo que nosotros hacemos es liberarla de los desajustes que puedan presentar- llamados subluxaciones - que suelen ser la causa principal de los diferentes dolores que padece el individuo.

El enorme crecimiento de esta modalidad se debe a sus éxitos clínicos y la labor de investigación científica desarrollada por sus seguidores. En la actualidad, se ha situado como la tercera profesión en el arte de curar en el mundo, después de la Medicina convencional y la Odontología.

Los últimos estudios demuestran que es una especialidad altamente efectiva

infrastructure development plan and has a budget of some 900,000 euros of which 300,000 will come from town hall coffers

Turn your Back on Pain The enormous growth of this modality is due to clinical successes and scientific research developed by dedicated professionals. Today, it has been ranked as the third most important profession in the healing art in the world after conventional medicine and dentistry. Recent studies show that it is a highly effective specialty to fight various pains, achieving spectacular results in the relief of back, neck and head pain.

para luchar contra diferentes dolores, alcanzando espectaculares resultados en las dolencias de espalda, cuello y cabeza.

Técnica Empleada Tras un minucioso examen físico del paciente, el quiropráctico realiza un diagnóstico, determina sus necesidades y diseña un programa adaptado. El tratamiento principal consiste en el ajuste manual específico de la columna vertebral.

Los dedos expertos del especialista recorren la espina dorsal y buscan la causa del problema. Después comienzan los ajustes, que se realizan con la presión de las manos sobre determinados puntos de la columna, para devolver las vértebras a su posición natural, restituir su movilidad y evitar la irritación del sistema nervioso.

El tratamiento se puede completar en casa con una serie de ejercicios que ayudarán al paciente a moverse más libremente y mejorar el tono y la fuerza de los músculos, así como la función de la columna y los ligamentos.

¿Quién debe acudir a un Quiropráctico?

El tratamiento de esta especialidad puede resultar adecuado para un gran número de males. El 80% de los pacientes acuden a la consulta de un quiropráctico con problemas de espalda. Pero también es un excelente remedio para el dolor de cabeza, mareos, vértigos, pinzamientos, ciáticas, artrosis, lesiones deportivas, hernias discales, lumbagos, adormecimientos, dolor de cuello, etc, etc. Hay que tener en cuenta que son muchas las enfermedades que se producen por lesiones de columna que afectan al sistema digestivo, circulatorio, ginecológico o nervioso.

and the balance from the Plan Qualifica budget.

Techniques Employed A natural method without medication or surgery, chiropractic pain relief seeking the origins of the disease. The spine has the answer.

This is one of the most recognized alternative medicines. It is responsible for studying structural biomechanical problems, especially those of the vertebral column, and how they affect health. The word chiropractic means done with the hands, which is quite indicative in understanding this therapy, since the hands are the key instrument used by doctors specializing in this field.

Chiropractic is logical and simple. It does not cure the symptoms but goes straight to the source of the disease. The spine has a fundamental importance. This medical specialty is still relatively unknown in our country and requires at least six years study.

It is based on the premise that good health depends on a properly functioning nervous system. For this to be so, it is essential that the spine is in good condition, since the structural alterations of the position of the vertebrae can irritate or compress the nerves from the spinal cord (protected by the spine) and distributed throughout the body. What we do is release the imbalances that may be present, called subluxations, which are often the main cause of the different types of pain afflicting the individual.

After a thorough physical examination, the chiropractor makes a diagnosis, determines your needs and designs a tailor made program. The main treatment is a specific manual adjustment of the spine. The specialist’s expert fingers run along the spine and seek out the cause of the problem. Once found they commence the adjustments, which are made by hand pressure on certain points of the spine to return the vertebrae to their normal position, restore mobility and prevent irritation of the nervous system. The treatment can be completed at home with a series of exercises that help the patient to move more freely and improve the tone and strength of muscles, as well as the functionality of the spine and ligaments.

Who should see a Chiropractor?

The use of this specialty may be appropriate to a large number of illnesses. 80% of patients go to consult a chiropractor about back problems. But it is also an excellent treatment for headaches, dizziness, vertigo, sciatica, arthritis, sports injuries, slipped discs, lumbago, numbness, neck pain, etc, etc.

Keep in mind that there are many diseases that are caused by spinal injuries that affect the digestive, circulatory, gynaecological or nervous systems.

Cierre del centro especial APRONA La Asociación Pro-Discapacitados Psíquicos de Estepona, (Aprona) calcula que no podrá seguir sustentándose más allá del mes que viene. Según afirma la directora, Juana María Jiménez, esto se debe a que la Junta de Andalucía les adeuda más de 330.000 euros.

El centro atiende a más de 370 usuarios, y tiene distintas dependencias que sobreviven gracias a subvenciones y convenios que tienen con distintas delegaciones de la Administración autonómica.

El edificio alberga un área de Atención Temprana, dos Unidades de Estancia

Diurna, y un centro de Terapia Ocupacional. Además funciona como Servicio de Atención Residencial. El dinero de los convenios se invierte en pagar los salarios de los profesionales del centro y los materiales necesarios para su funcionamiento. La situación es insostenible, ya que no pueden hacer frente a los gastos del centro.

El centro ha iniciado una campaña de recogida de firmas para intentar cobrar las cantidades debidas.

La idea es conseguir el máximo apoyo posible para presionar a la Junta de Andalucía hasta que entregue el dinero.

Estepona nombrado Ciudad Europea del Deporte 2013

APRONA centre for the disabled to close The Association for the Mentally Handicapped in Estepona (Aprona) estimates that they will be forced to close after next month. The director, Juana Maria Jimenez, explained that they will no longer be able to sustain the centre because of the ​​more than 330,000 euros owed to them by the Junta de Andalucia.

The centre provides support to over 370 individuals, and has different units that survive on grants and agreements they have with various delegations of the regional government.

The building has a department for ​​early childhood intervention, two daytime care

units and an Occupational Therapy centre, as well as providing residential care. The money they receive is spent on paying the salaries of professionals at the centre and the materials needed for its operation.

The situation is untenable, because they cannot cope with the costs of the centre without the money they are owed.

The centre has launched a campaign to collect signatures to try to obtain the amounts due.

The idea is to get as much support as possible to pressure the Government of Andalucia until they hand over the money.

La edil de Turismo mantiene una reunión de trabajo con colectivos extranjeros del municipio

El alcalde de Estepona, José María García Urbano, anunció a principios de junio que Estepona ha tenido éxito en su campaña para obtener el título de Ciudad Europea del Deporte 2013.

Fue decidido la semana pasada por el comité de evaluación EUROPA ACES (Asociación de Capitales Europeas del Deporte), que visitó Estepona para evaluar el trabajo realizado por el municipio en lo que respecta a la promoción de los valores del deporte.

El alcalde afirmó que en la carta enviada al Ayuntamiento, el comité consideró que Estepona es “un gran ejemplo de la gestión política y municipal en el deporte.” La bandera que probará este reconocimiento será recogido el 7 de noviembre en el Parlamento Europeo.

El año pasado, diez ciudades fueron escogidas, entre ellas Florencia, Bilbao, y Preston, mientras que este año Estepona

Estepona appointed European City of Sport 2013

La concejala del área de Turismo, Marina Segovia, ha mantenido hoy una nueva reunión con representantes de las 19 asociaciones de extranjeros de Estepona para conocer las principales reivindicaciones que se hacen desde este colectivo que representa aproximadamente al 30 por ciento de la población censada, con más de 18.000 personas.

Se están celebrando este tipo de reuniones para recopilar información sobre las inquietudes que tienen estos ciudadanos y así ofrecerles soluciones.

En esta cuarta reunión con asociaciones de extranjeros se han realizado propuestas de ocio para los turistas.

El Ayuntamiento se ha comprometido a satisfacer la mayoría de las demandas planteadas.

Tourism Councillor meets with foreign representatives in Estepona Councillor for Tourism, Marina Segovia, held another meeting with representatives from 19 foreign associations in Estepona to attend to the needs and concerns of this group representing about 30 percent of the registered population, or more than 18,000 people.

They are holding these meetings to gather

information from these citizens and to thus offer solutions. In this fourth meeting with foreign associations suggestions have been made for leisure activities for tourists.

The Town Hall is committed to meeting most of the demands.

The Mayor of Estepona, José María García Urbano, announced last month that Estepona has been successful in its campaign to be awarded the status of European City of Sport 2013. The award was decided upon last weekend by the evaluation committee ACES EUROPE (Association of European Capitals of Sport), who visited Estepona to assess the work done by the municipality in regard to promoting sporting values.

The mayor stated that in the letter sent to the Town Hall, the committee considered that Estepona is “a great example of political and municipal management in sport.” The flag proving this recognition will be collected on 7 November at the European Parliament.

Last year ten cities were chosen including Florence, Bilbao, and Preston, whilst this year Estepona joins Modena and Cremona in Italy, and Lorca in Spain, who are among the cities already selected.

The award will serve to raise the profile of Estepona throughout the 27 European countries who participate in this scheme and the local authorities are already planning a programme of joint events and activities both at local, national and international level to celebrate this sporting status.

se une a ciudades como Módena y Cremona en Italia, y Lorca en España, que se encuentran entre las ciudades que ya están seleccionados.

Agenda cultural organizada para verano

La concejala del área Sociocultural, María Dolores Espinosa, ha presentado hoy la agenda cultural que el Ayuntamiento de Estepona ha elaborado para la temporada de verano. Entre las principales novedades se encuentra el concierto acústico que ofrecerá el cantante David Bisbal el próximo 11 de agosto en la plaza de toros y la actuación de Los Brincos y Fórmula V el 25 de agosto en el que se hará un homenaje al pop español de los años 60.

Espinosa ha señalado que estos dos eventos se suman a los que ya estaban previstos en la plaza de toros para este verano como el de Isabel Pantoja el 21 de julio, el de Diego ‘El Cigala’ el 18 de agosto, la Antología Lírica de Zarzuela el 4 de agosto, o el Festival Estepona Arena Rock Festival los días 27 y 28 de julio. La concejala ha explicado que la adjudicación a una empresa privada de la explotación del coso taurino ha permitido que el municipio pueda disponer de una programación interesante, de calidad y dirigida a todos los públicos este verano.

Por otra parte, la edil ha indicado que Estepona acogerá varias obras de teatro durante la temporada estival, entre las que destaca ‘Dos hombres solos, sin punto com...ni ná’. Este espectáculo, protagonizado por Manolo Medina y Rodrigo Ponce de León, se celebrará los días 30 y 31 de julio en el Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos después de haber obtenido un gran éxito por parte del público en distintos escenarios andaluces. Posteriormente, el 4 de agosto la compañía Morfeo Teatro Clásico pondrá en escena en el mismo recinto ‘El Sombrero de Tres Picos’ de Alarcón. La programación teatral se verá complementada con la obra ‘Maté a un tipo’ que interpretará el grupo municipal de teatro ‘Farándula’ el 22 de

agosto en la Plaza del Reloj y ‘Bailando con locos’ el 24 de agosto en la plaza de toros con los actores Marián Conde y Valentín Paredes.

Por otra parte, la responsable del área Sociocultural, María Dolores, ha indicado que la idea del Ayuntamiento ha sido aprovechar espacios públicos privilegiados como el Paseo Marítimo, el Parque El Calvario o la plaza del Reloj para celebrar la mayor parte de eventos al aire libre, que serán gratuitos y que nos permitirán disfrutar al aire libre de espectáculos dirigidos a todo tipo de públicos, ha apuntado la edil.

Entre los más de 40 actos que conforman la programación de verano, destaca el ciclo ‘Velada de Baile en Verano’ donde los alumnos de los diferentes grupos de baile y danza de la delegación de Cultura realizarán espectáculos de salsa, cabaret, danza oriental o baile moderno en escenarios situados en el Paseo Marítimo o el Parque El Calvario.

Asimismo, la Necrópolis Megalítica de Corominas será el lugar elegido para otras actuaciones como la de los intérpretes de música clásica Arturo Serra (vibráfono) y José Carra (piano) el 14 de julio o la del espectáculo ‘Tempus Fugit’ donde se fusionarán músicas antiguas, medievales y célticas con el blues y el jazz el 4 de agosto.

La edil también ha indicado que cada domingo la Banda Municipal de Música, dirigida por el maestro José Antonio López Camacho, ofrecerá desde el 15 de julio hasta el 26 de agosto conciertos con repertorios procedentes de distintos géneros musicales. En cuanto a literatura, el Ayuntamiento inaugurará en el Paseo Marítimo la XVII Feria del Libro de Verano el 26 de julio, que ofrecerá más de 80.000 ejemplares de los distintos géneros hasta el 26 de agosto.

Estepona Bullring on August 11; and Los Brincos and Formula V will be performing a tribute to Spanish 60s pop Music on August 25 at the same venue.

Costa Advice Bureau

SPAIN, IS EVERYDAY LIVING BECOMING MORE EXPENSIVE? This fact is an issue which concerns the expatriate community, both retired and employed. The governments, who are in need of topping up their reserves, are increasing costs on everything they can.

This includes the recent increase of the cost of our electricity supply. The order allowing the increase is dated the first of April. Purchase taxes on second hand properties have also gone up, ensuring that the sale of such properties is now more expensive to the buyer With the removal of subsidies from almost five hundred common prescription medicines, it may be time to look for alternatives. Talk to your doctor about using tee tree oil to alleviate mosquito and insect bites. This magical oil is a fantastic natural remedy for thousand of skin ailments including athlete’s feet and fungi types of skin complaints. It is time to watch our pennies.

Start searching out the bargains. It can be cheaper to travel long distances by coach instead of driving, at the same time taking the strain off the journey and allowing you to enjoy the vistas. Now may be the time to take a trip up the coast and avail of the many bargains available in the bigger towns. For those lucky enough to have their sixty five card, check on the internet to find free or specially priced entries into museums art galleries and theatres. Call up the government controlled Paradors and see what they are offering. Some of these hotels are in beautiful castles, palaces and listed buildings.

Those who receive their pension in sterling have further advantages. An occasional trip to shop in Gibraltar, treating yourself to that British product you swore you had given up when you went local. Use your credit card instead of cash if your earnings are in euro’s. This way you will get the best exchange rate. Petrol and diesel is still a little cheaper and as you are there anyway.

The queues appear to be back to normal after the aftermath of the skirmishes

are concerts by Isabel Pantoja on July 21 and Diego ‘El Cigala’ on August 18, and an anthology of Spanish light opera ‘Zarzuela’ on August 4.

Pay to have your gas supply revised. It is surprising how much you can save due to the correction of leaky connectors not to mention the dangers of these faulty fittings.

How long have you had a contract with the same mobile phone company? Check your points and either treat yourself to one of the free latest models. These are now available with almost everything you need; your emails, camera, internet browsing, and free messaging. Talk to other service providers who offer you not only new phones but cheaper tariffs to get your business. Confirm that you are being told the truth, no hidden charges etc. Have a morning going to all your local banks and see if you can get a better deal elsewhere.

For example many banks offer no charges accounts. That is if you either pay your self employed contribution via their branch or have your pension transferred into your account. Are there many expatriates living in your community? Ask to have a communal satellite for all English language channels.

Pensioners, please remember that you are entitled to cheaper electricity consumption charges and telephone rental costs at literally a few euros. Scour through local newspapers for bargains. To finish on a lighter note, summer is here and you may consider showering on the beach. Don’t use shampoos and soaps as you may find yourself in hot water.

Festival Starlite - Marbella El Festival Starlite de Marbella promete ser el principal evento social y cultural de este año en España. Combinando un mes de música, moda, gastronomía, cultura y ocio, los organizadores pretenden crear una experiencia fabulosa y única, uno de los aspectos más destacados de los cuales será de gala de Caridad Starlite de este año.

Centrado en el Auditorio de Marbella, que fue creado en la zona de la cantera de donde se extrajo la piedra para construir Puerto Banús, este lugar espectacular situado por encima de Marbella en el corazón de la Sierra Blanca es el lugar ideal para el festival.

Usado por primera vez como un nuevo centro de conciertos en 1983, cuando Plácido Domingo actuó para una sala llena, el lugar fue abandonado durante muchos años, pero ahora se le ha dado una nueva oportunidad de vida con la retirada de cientos de camiones cargados de basura y un nuevo suelo resistente.

Aquí los organizadores, Avory International, están creando la Villa Starlite que proporcionará no sólo el escenario y el auditorio para conciertos, sino también un restaurante y sala de estar, zona VIP, y un área de espectáculos, que contará con más de 150 diferentes actuaciones complementarias, incluyendo danza burlesca, circo y los mejores DJs, que mantendrán entretenidos a los huéspedes, incluso durante las noches cuando no haya ningún concierto encabezando la cartelera.

Hablando de grandes artistas, los organizadores han preparado un programa ecléctico que atiende a casi todos los gustos. Con 14 conciertos durante 30 días los amantes de la música atendiendo el festival podrán disfrutar de actuaciones en directo de: George Benson, Roger Hodgson - voz legendaria de Supertramp, Armando Manzanero, Tony Bennett, Christopher Cross, Hugh Laurie, Paul Anka, Miguel Bosé, Rosario, Lolita y Antonio Carmona, Simple Minds, Raphael, Julio Iglesias, y Estopa.

Para comprar entradas para cualquiera de estos conciertos visite la web del festival que se encuentra a continuación: www. starlitefestival.com o www.ticketmaster. es El Bulli Catering

Los visitantes al Starlite Village podrán disfrutar de una verdadera delicia gastronómica, pudiendo degustar tapas elaboradas por El Bulli Catering de Paco Roncero. Paco Roncero fue tutelado por Ferran Adrià, cuyo legendario restaurante

El Bulli encabeza con regularidad la lista de los 50 mejores restaurantes del mundo, y estuvo completamente lleno con un año de antelación. Aunque recientemente cerró, el espíritu de El Bulli sigue vivo en el Festival Starlite.

Starlite y la comunidad local

Los organizadores del Festival Starlite se han esforzado al máximo para asegurar que el evento proporcione un estímulo económico a la comunidad local. Se espera a unos 100.000 visitantes de los cuales unos 20.000 serán de fuera de España, destacando a Marbella en el mapa como un lugar importante para la organización de eventos. También habrá un impacto directo con más de 300 puestos de trabajo creados por el festival así como la obtención local del 60% de los servicios y materiales requeridos.

Starlite Festival Marbella’s Starlite Festival promises to be Spain’s premier social and cultural event this year. Combining a whole month of music, fashion, gastronomy, culture and leisure the organisers have set out to create a fabulous and unique experience one of the highlights of which will be this year’s Starlite Charity Gala.

Centred on the Marbella Auditorium which was created on the site of the quarry from which the rock was extracted to build Puerto Banús, this spectacular venue located above Marbella in the heart of the Sierra Blanca, provides the ideal setting for the festival.

First used as a concert venue back in 1983 when Placido Domingo performed to a packed audience, the site has been neglected for many years, but has now been given a new lease of life with the clearance of hundreds of truckloads of rubbish and a new hard surface laid.

The organisers Avory International are creating on this site the Starlite Village which will provide not only the concert stage and auditorium, but a restaurant and lounge, VIP area, and a performance area which will feature over 150 differents complementary acts, including, burlesque, circus, top DJs, who will keep guests entertained even on those nights when there are no headline concerts.

Talking of major artists, the organisers have put together an eclectic programme which should cater to just about everyone’s tastes. With 14 concerts over the 30 day

festival music lovers will be treated to live performances from: George Benson, Roger Hodgson - Legendary Voice of Supertramp, Armando Manzanero, Tony Bennett, Christopher Cross, Hugh Laurie, Paul Anka, Miguel Bosé, Rosario, Lolita & Antonio Carmona, Simple Minds, Raphael, Julio Iglesias, and Estopa.

To purchase tickets for any of these concerts then visit the festival website: www.starlitefestival.com or www.ticketmaster.es El Bulli Catering Visitors to the Starlite Village are in for a gastronomic treat as they will be able to sample the tapas on offer by Paco Roncero’s El Bulli Catering. Paco Roncero is the protege of Ferran Adrià whose

legendary restaurant El Bulli regularly topped the World’s Top 50 Restaurants List, and was fully booked a year in advance.

Although recently closed, the spirit of El Bulli lives on at the Starlite Festival.

Starlite and the local community The Organisers of the Starlite Festival have gone to great lengths to ensure that the event provides and economic boost to the local community. With some 100,000 visitors expected of which some 20,000 will be from outside Spain the festival will put Marbella well and truly on the map as a major event venue. There will also be a direct impact with over 300 jobs being created as well as 60% of the services and materials required for Starlite being sourced locally.

Simultáneamente corría la sangría que prepararon María y Paca, haciendo que una atmósfera de alegría y relajación impregnase la plaza.

Conchi, Presidenta de la Asociación de Alzheimer, sirvió la paella con la Presidenta de ADANA, María, y MaPepa, mientras que Sean, voluntario de ADANA, se encargaba del bar. Se recaudaron más de 500 € para ADANA por los que estamos muy agradecidos a la Asociación de Alzheimer y a MaPepa.

La fiesta de la paella de junio recauda más de 500€ ADANA en las escuelas Todas las miradas estaban puestas en la Renault Kangoo mientras los voluntarios sacaban una humeante paella de un metro de diámetro y la llevaban hasta la puerta de la librería Bookman en la Plaza Manilva de Estepona. Unas sesenta personas se pusieron en pie a la vez y se apresuraron para conseguir una ración.

Sucedió en la fiesta anual de la paella en beneficio de ADANA, preparada por voluntarios de la Asociación local de Alzheimer y pagada por MaPepa, colaboradora habitual de la tienda de ADANA. ¡Y vaya paella más deliciosa! África, Maruja y Victoria, habían estado en pie desde las 7 de la mañana para preparar los ingredientes más frescos y, lo más importante, para hacer un rico caldo con algunas de las gambas para que cada grano de arroz absorbiese su sabor. Mientras la paella se cocinaba prepararon una maravillosa ensalada

Durante largo tiempo ADANA había deseado extender sus actividades al campo de la educación. Lamentablemente, la concienciación sobre temas de bienestar animal no es tan aguda en España como en el Reino Unido y si pretendemos

cambiar corazones y mentes la manera de hacerlo es a través de la educación y cuanto antes se empiece mejor.

ADANA se ha unido a Nando “In the Doghouse” Brown, quien presenta un programa de radio muy popular los sábados, el cual se emite desde el Hotel Kempinski en Estepona, para llevar el tema del cuidado y respeto de los animales a las escuelas del área de Estepona y alrededores. Nando le irá contando a su joven público acerca de ADANA y nuestro valioso trabajo.

June paella party raises more than €500

All eyes were on the Renault Kangoo as a steaming hot paella, one metre in diameter, was slid out and carried into Plaza Manilva outside Longman’s Bookshop in Estepona and placed on long table. At once, some sixty people jumped to their feet and rushed forward to be served. It was the annual paella party in aid of ADANA , made by volunteers of the local Alzheimer’s Association and paid for by MaPepa, well known helper in the ADANA shop.

What a delicious paella it was, too! Africa, assisted by Maruja and Victoria, had been up since 7.00 in the morning to prepare the freshest of ingredients and, most important, make a rich stock from some of the prawns so that every grain of rice absorbed the flavour. While the paella began to cook on the vast ring, they prepared a wonderful

green salad with a generous addition of tuna and olives.

Sangria, made by Maria and Paca, was already being poured liberally into glasses and an atmosphere of contentment filled the little cobbled square.

Conchi, President of the Alzheimer’s Association, served the paella along with ADANA President, Maria, and MaPepa while ADANA volunteer, Sean, ran the bar.

Over 500€ were raised for ADANA, thanks once again to the great generosity of the Alzheimer’s Association and MaPepa

Volunteers

With an increasing work load Age Concern needs new volunteers to come forward and work with older people in the community – particularly in the Estepona/ Manilva/Duquesa areas. No experience is needed as training will be given. Helping older people live as full a life as possible is very rewarding so; if you have a few hours to spare each week, why not volunteer.

If interested please call Eileen Dry on 608458555 and find out more.

September Happenings

As previously advised two dates are already booked for talks at the Drop-InCentre in Estepona: September 25th at 11.00 Manilva Solicitors will be giving a talk around the topic of Power of Attorney. All are welcome.

Tickets are 12€ per person and can be obtained at a number of outlets – Bookworld, Glitterati, Costa Cards, Longmans, and Bodega de la Aldea, or call Age Concern on 951318234 for more information. An event like this would not be complete without an Age Concern raffle – so there will be one!!.

The telephone number is 650163928.

ADANA into Schools

For a long time now, ADANA has been hoping to extend its activities into the field of education. Sadly, awareness of animal welfare issues is not as acute in Spain as in the UK and if we are to change hearts and minds, the way to do so is through education, and the earlier the better.

ADANA has now teamed up with Nando ‘In the Doghouse’ Brown, who hosts a popular Saturday radio show, beamed from the Kempinski Hotel, Estepona, to take the issue of care and respect for animals into schools in the Estepona area and beyond.

Nando will be telling his young audience about ADANA and the valuable work we do.

Nando, who is half-Spanish, can be heard every Saturday morning on iTalkRadio, 97.1 FM

Send us details of your club, charity or association’s events and activities and even if we don’t have room in The Resident we will publish it on our website at www.theresident.eu Send copy and images to editor@theresident.eu by the 18th of the month for inclusion in the paper or anytime for publication on the website.

Mientras disfrutas de la época más calurosa del año, ten cuidado ya que el clima también es maravilloso para las pulgas, garrapatas, mosquitos y moscas que pican, por nombrar unos pocos, los ectoparásitos cuyos ciclos de vida también se encuentran en plena flor en estos días y permanecerán a lo largo del otoño.

Estas plagas no sólo molestan a nuestras mascotas, pero también nos pueden molestar a veces a nosotros también. Si todavía no has establecido control de pulgas y garrapatas es el momento de revisar y volver a evaluar los productos que han funcionado para ti en el pasado, con la esperanza de que las pulgas de este año no hayan desarrollado resistencia a los productos del año pasado, que es con demasiada frecuencia un fenómeno con algunos preparados. Si esto ha ocurrido, entonces la mejor solución es encontrar un par de productos diferentes y alternar su uso para mantenerse bajo el alcance de los mecanismos de defensa de estos intrusos. Recuerda que es importante controlar primero el entorno y segundo a tus animales, de lo contrario es posible que la pierdas la guerra antes de que se haya disparado el primer tiro.

Cuando nos bañamos en el mar o en una piscina que contiene sal o cloro, luego lo aclaramos con agua dulce, esto es lo menos que podemos hacer por nuestros animales también. Ayudará a reducir los eczemas frecuentes de verano. En cuanto al champú, incluso con los suaves

preparados medicinales, en lugar de resolver los problemas de la piel pueden agravarlos, reduciendo las defensas naturales de la piel y sus secreciones. En caso de duda consulte a un profesional.

La sequía que estamos viviendo tiene su efecto sobre los animales también.

El aumento de ectoparásitos, como se discutió anteriormente, se puede acoplar con un aumento de enfermedades o condiciones secundarias que causan con su presencia. Si el agua no es apta para beber debemos dar a nuestros animales la misma agua embotellada que bebemos.

Asegúrate de que tengan abundante agua disponible, así como un lugar con sombra para refugiarse. Deben estar en un área bien ventilada. Recuerde que si viaja con su perro y tiene que dejarlo en el coche por un corto tiempo, piénselo bien. Aun dejando las ventanas parcialmente abiertas puede a veces sobrecalentarse como se muestra en el triste caso de los dos perros de la policía en Inglaterra, que murieron recientemente, aunque sólo estuvieron en el vehículo por pocos minutos. Si te preocupa que tu perro se sobrecaliente o muestra signos de angustia puedes actuar inmediatamente para ayudarlo. En primer lugar, enfría sus pies con una manguera o colocando sus pies en un recipiente con agua fría y en segundo lugar, busca ayuda profesional porque un golpe de calor puede ser fatal. Los perros “sudan” o regulan su temperatura (como decimos comercialmente) a través de sus pies y jadeando, por lo que la refrigeración de los pies es la forma más rápida de aliviar el calor.

Vet’s Corner - The Summer Wars It is summertime again, time for those enjoyable outings to hike in the hills or bathe at the beach; beware though, all that glitters may not be gold! While enjoying this warmest time of the year be wary as the time is also wonderful for fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and biting flies, to name a few ectoparasites, whose life cycles are also in full bloom these days and will continue to do so throughout the autumn.

These pests not only bother our pets but may also pester us at times as well. If you have not yet instituted flea and tick control it is time to revise and re-evaluate the products that have worked for you in the past, hoping that the fleas did not develop resistance this year to last years products, which with regard to some of the commercial preprations is all to frequent a phenomenon. If this has occured then the best solution is to find acouple of different products and alternate their use to stay ahead of the defense mechanisims of these interlopers. Remember that it is important to control the environment first and your animals second, otherwise you may find the war lost prior to the first shot being fired.

When we bathe in the ocean or in a pool we rinse the salt or the chlorine off afterwards with fresh water, this is the least we can do for our animals as well. This will help to reduce the all to frequent summer exzemas.

Over shampooing, even with the mildest medicated prepared shampoos, rather than

resolving skin problems may aggravate them by reducing the natural defences in the skin and it’s secretions. When in doubt consult a professional.

The drought we are experiencing has it’s effects on our animals as well. The increase in ectoparasites, as discussed above, may be coupled with an increase in diseases or conditions they may cause secondary to their presence. If the water isn’t fit for us to drink we ought to be giving our animals the same bottled water we drink. Make sure in the heat they have abundant water available as well as a shady spot to take refuge. They should be in a well ventilated area. Remember, if travelling with your dog and having to leave him in the car for a short while, think twice.

Even leaving the windows partially open may not provide sufficient cooling properties as shown in the sad case of the two police dogs in England that died recently although only being left unattended for just a few minutes.

Should you be concerned that your dog is overheating or showing signs off distress immediate action can be taken to help him.

Firstly, cool his feet by hosing him down or placing his feet in a bowl of cold water and secondly, seek professional advise because heat stroke can be fatal. Dogs “sweat” or thermoregulate (as we say in the trade) through their feet and by panting and therefore cooling the feet is the fastest way of alleviating their heat distress.

EL CORAZÓN DE UN NÚMERO

Francisco Rodríguez Herrera

Lo Que Ha De Continuar El médico se lo dijo...Compraba queso fresco y pan integral. El régimen que hacía era ese, y solamente ese. Sus ojos eran negros, del negro de la edad de los setenta que muchas veces parecen encontrar el color ajado, o mejor mate, de un mirar que ha gastado las pupilas. Su pelo espeso y blanco como una montaña de nieve que se sujetara en la cabeza, esperando el sol de un nuevo verano. Sus manos tenían pocas arrugas comparadas con su rostro (en sus manos había un río lento sin quebrantos de piedras), y los pliegues de su cara, le daba, al igual que a otras ancianas, un aire de mujer solícita, sosegada.

En aquella época, yo era un adolescente cuando vi a esa mujer por primera vez.

Estudiaba en el Instituto. Leía a Juan Ramón Jiménez (con jota) y a Luis Cernuda, y soñaba con las aventuras del escritor que me iba creciendo. Tenía la impresión, de que esa mujer, guardaba todos los misterios, toda la ternura y toda la acción de una vida en plenitud para poder componer una gran novela. Ahora, al cabo de los años, y hoy, precisamente, encuentro un apunte que dice: “El médico le recetó queso fresco y pan integral... Su hija, cansada de bregar, no comprende, que una mujer pueda vivir sólo de pan integral y de queso fresco.”

Y hoy se me antoja un relatar, que aquí encabezo, para que este libro, el cual no sé si algún día amasaré, deje ver otros apuntes del pasado, y por qué no, del futuro imperfecto, y me revele y libere de las pesadillas propias de un rebelde que habite en el aire: ese mismo que ya conoceréis, y que dejó una tarde de verano junto a mí, un latido, moviendo mi mano para que yo, prosiguiera el relato de la vida de esa mujer (que según parece, y por partes, las grandes y geniales obras, sólo así son posibles: primero la escalera y luego la azotea, donde una verbena espera para que goce el alma del buen arte). ...Que al igual que se es lanero en Sabadell, aceitunero en Jaén o minero en Asturias, esa mujer fue entera, atenta en los quehaceres del vivir, sencilla y alegre; y en su oficio de madre, esposa y luego viuda, exhalaba en su respirar recuerdos de todo lo hecho en su vida, y rechazaba –arrepintiéndose al instante– un gajo de uvas que su hija le ofrecía mientras comía, para que ese pan y ese queso se ablandaran al masticar.

Allí están: hojas de colores numeradas, figuras impresas: el eco cultural o una historia no incorpórea, manos y pies, y unos pechos de artista o unos valles de hierba. Allí están, recién salidos de la imprenta: “...como unos toros de Guisando de la literatura...” así lo dice Francisco Umbral refiriéndose a las máquinas de imprenta. (Yo diría en este caso Guisando de los números.) ...Pero ahora son esas hojas de colores numeradas, hojas en verdad de un árbol pretencioso, de recursos, de respuestas aún posibles, respuestas que salen del esbozo de una imprenta donde el metal se convierte por el celo del tacto en algo virgen y salvaje, ternura y fuego de latidos de máquinas que enumeran, que forman luego parte de ese papel, con el uno, el dos, el cinco, el ocho, y la unidad de millar es entonces una historia: De pronto, allí, se pasea un ciego, almirante de la luz, caprichoso y buscador de su boleto, un lustro sin hallarlo, enzarzado en sus besos un pleito de humanas contradicciones, de miopía de todos al no querer salir del crónico miedo por las limitaciones. Ha sentido en sus dedos la inocencia, el negror, el color del toro o su tinta. Y ahora, al fin, como un milagro, el aire le premia su costumbre de palparlo, de verse, de verlos, de vernos. Y el ciego dormita, rociando las sábanas unas palabras –ah, ese libro, ¿cómo se titula?. Sí: “El poeta de los

números”–. Está pensando en todos los que adquirieron un cupón. Unos lo pusieron sobre la guantera del coche; otros en la cartera; otros encima del televisor; otros, despistados, tardaron días en encontrarlo; y otros como autómatas, compraron el número de siempre, en la mañana distinta...

Allí va, surgiendo de su pelo aplomo de luz: avance del alba hacia su puesto. Otra mañana más –este universo cierto del pie muestra el dogma de la acera– se pasea un viejo, madrugador (un jubilado de carácter inquieto), atrayendo a los pájaros del parque o a ese tiempo en su mano repleta de efigies; ah, y está también el que pasa corriendo, haciendo el ejercicio matutino –tan bueno para la circulación antes de ir a la oficina–; y están el de la frutería y el del pescado, y los camioneros, transportadores de muebles, periódicos, alimentos y energías diversas (necesidades que transitan). ...El que hoy va por allí, surgiendo de su pelo aplomo de luz, avanza, vigila; ese que inspecciona, desea una ventana abierta en la calle para que unos ojos de viento ciudadano rebosen ilusión y comprendan la historia cotidiana de aquél que ha salido ganador del día.

EL BARCO DE HILO - A Manuel Cano Ofreciéndome sus gestos más nobles, el amigo sonríe junto a mí. “¡Qué suerte he tenido de conocerle!”, pienso. Y luego le digo: “¡Manolo..., me vas a traer suerte!”

Deposito mi confianza en él, y él en mí. Todas las cosas a nuestro alrededor se acomodan, y aparece en el resplandor de las manos una ciencia. Lentamente, inteligentemente, me hace una pregunta... “¡Y yo qué sé Manolo. Mira, déjate de hablar soledades y vamos hacia ese barco de hilo!”

La abuela, parecía tocar los helechos de crochet, y entregada toda la tarde a la música de sus dedos, hacía el ganchillo intentando terminar ese barco de hilo. “No hagamos caso de nada y aventurémonos, embarquémonos en él, que presiento una emboscada...” Tanto rociarnos por las calles. Nos enseñaron, amigo, a no garbear. Ahora vengo a invitarte a que viajes conmigo. Tú eres como la misma calle que pacientemente quiere dominarte; pero, a eso te niegas porque tu pie se clava con precisión (o se siembra) y expresa en el sonido de las raíces las sociedades diversas.

“Llámame si quieres esta tarde al salir del curso de informática. ¿A qué hora sales?. ¿A las nueve?. Convendremos el día y la hora de salida...”

Cuanto tengo está en el barco. Lo he llenado con mis bártulos y ahora vengo a ayudarte con los tuyos para que salgamos lo antes posible. Y cuando lleguemos, di lo que sientes. ¡Siempre se ha de estar tan seguro!. La primera parada será en

el puerto de la plaza de la Inmaculada; luego el barco, y un mar de calles, nos llevará al paseito Chacón; a la calle Real; y a esa otra calle pequeña, donde echamos las quinielas y compramos el cupón a medias.

Nuestro barco de hilo flota por todos los espacios. Uno cree que el mar está lejos, y ya ves, qué cerca... Él barco nos ha reclamado desde remos de fuerte madera, de ovillo en la proa, y nudos cruzados que embellecen la quilla. Viajaremos en ese bajel de hilo, las olas y las tormentas determinarán si somos leopardos de lluvia dispuestos a derramarnos y a cruzar los mares, valles, calles, sombras y conocimientos, un talento despojado de miserias (porque la aventura es cultura del instinto) para que otros hombres, cuales nubes ligeras, notaran que el barco de hilo sigue paseándose por el universo ecuánime, y que junto a dos hombres, navega el anuncio de unas manos como llanuras que acogen la semblanza de una despedida.

A Healthier Life

JoJo France and Claudia Norris

Exercise in the heat Hot weather exercising can do more than make you hot, tired and thirsty. Many of us remember the gruesome sight of Andersen-Schiess stumbling to the marathon finish line in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, suffering from hyperthermia.

Serious heat illness is even more likely to strike those who push their endurance and are not as well conditioned as Olympic marathoners, over weight, pregnant and under conditioned bodies are most at risk. but exercising in warm weather is safe if you know how to manage your exercise program and adjust your workout to the conditions.

While exercising you are exposed to both external and internal heat. External heat comes from the combination of environmental temperature and humidity - the heat index.

Humidity increases the effect of heat by limiting the effectiveness of sweat evaporation to cool you. Heat radiation from certain surfaces such as pavement, concrete or sand may make you feel hotter.

The Resident - www.theresident.eu

Heat exhaustion Heat stroke If you must train in a hot environment, hyper-hydrate before and during the event, and pace yourself.

Women respond to heat differently from men and may even handle it better. The average woman has a proportionally larger surface area than the average man and so absorbs more heat than a man would in temperatures above 98 F and dissipates more heat in temperatures below 98 F. Women have less muscle mass than men and therefore generate less internal heat while exercising. They also sweat more efficiently than men.

Wear loose light coloured clothing, made of natural fibres that allow the body to sweat, don’t wipe the sweat off your body, it is cooling down the exterior surface.

Avoid the midday heat, drink as much as you can before your workout so that the body is super hydrated before you start, avoid caffeine and alcohol as these will encourage dehydration, take sips of fluids every 15 mins to keep the internal temperature under control. Avoid running on black surfaces such as tarmac, grass or even concrete is better AND remember, if you start to feel unwell, a headache or disorientated then stop your work out immediately, take a cool bath and lie under the fan until your body cools down then drink room temperature water but NOT ICE COLD Remember consult with your GP before starting any new exercise or if you have any questions email me jojofrance_69@hotmail.com or call 687 030 047.

Good Luck and stay cool.

Hydration for the summer

The weather is warming up and we need to make sure we stay properly hydrated. The National Institute of Medicine recommends about 3 litres of fluid for men and 2 litres for women. This includes all beverages like coffee, juice, water, tea, milk etc. Additional fluid can often be found in the moisture of foods – cucumbers and watermelon are especially hydrating.

Watch out for signs of dehydration which include: dry mouth, headache, constipation, vomiting, irritability, tiredness, decreased urination, dizziness, fever and delirium.

Many clients tell me they get bored of drinking water all the time so here are a couple of deliciously refreshing drinks to try:

Summer Refresher ½ teaspoon of grated ginger ¼ of a medium cucumber sliced ½ medium lemon sliced 6 mint leaves Add the ingredients into a jug with 1 litre of water and leave in the fridge for a few hours.

During intense exercise, muscle activity increases internal heat production 15 to 20 times more than at resting levels.

Exercise intensity and duration, body size and shape, fitness level, acclimatization, state of hydration and type and color of clothing also affect internal heat production.

The body’s “thermostat,” located in the hypothalamus of the brain, senses any rise in body temperature and sends signals to dilate sufface blood vessels, increase respiratory rate and begin sweating. About 85 percent of heat loss is caused by the evaporation of sweat. Adequate hydration is the key to your body’s ability to cool itself by sweating.

Heat illness occurs when the body produces more heat than it can dissipate. Most often this happens when dehydration accompanies excessive heat production.

Most people whose core body temperature reaches 40 degree’s will ‘switch off’, this means there ability to continue normal exercise will be unlikely ( maybe if you were competing in the Olympics with a big prize in front of you then you could really push your body to the limit), but science tells us at 41 degree’s the body will switch off and give up. No options given, it cannot continue.

Severity progresses as described below; from the mild stages of heat cramps and heat fatigue through more serious heat exhaustion to heat stroke, which can be fatal Heat cramps Heat fatigue

Essential Pointers for a Successful Business - by LIMIT CONSULTING From our experience in dealing with a variety of projects, we have compiled some vital steps you may want to take to ensure the success of your business activity.

These are basic principles. We hope you can give them some thought and find a practical application in your case.

CHOOSE YOUR IDEAL CLIENT You will probably realize that you cannot provide your service to everyone. Choose your ideal client and sell your service to them. Your ads, your offers, etc will depend on this choice. Of course, you will welcome anyone initially, but your clientele target should be clear.

BE AN EXPERT It is essential that you know your product well: What makes it different or unique. Your potential clients have to perceive you as an expert.

BECOME VISIBLE You can be the best professional in the world, but if your ideal clientele do not know how to find you, what is the worth? In some cases being visible is all about the location of your premises.

For others, being visible is about good, regular advertisement. The truth is that people forget us easily.

In the existing economical climate, when everybody is looking for new clients, we need to be on the top of the wave, or it will pass away.

This does not mean that you have to spend a lot of money on advertisement. Ask yourself the following: Where are your ideal clients? Do they read a specific magazine? Do they visit a particular area?

At LimitConsulting we specialize in Ex-pats. All our adverts and website are in English.

More and more people trust in us for a quality service.

REACH MORE PEOPLE Become pro-active. We hope this is not the first time that you hear this: Every entrepreneur has to be a sales person. Give your business card out at every opportunity.

FIND GOOD CO-OPERATORS Associating with others is a great way to offer full assistance to your clients. If you run a small business you probably cannot afford a big business structure. Who do you know that shares similar customers to you but aren’t in direct competition?

ADD VALUE TO YOUR PRODUCT OR SERVICE Think out how you can offer more than they pay for. Offer

post-sale service, organize how-to courses, We know of plumbers that not only fix the pipe but get you the water contract. Try to offer the complete service; yourself or by means of your network.

CREATE A FACEBOOK PAGE No matter what sort of business you run, your customers and potential clientele should be able to find you on the worldwide web.

A fan on facebook is 3 times as much likely to become your customer than someone who is not. Why? Because your fans already know you and have a measure of trust in you.

FIND MORE THAN A GOOD ACCOUNTANT FIND A BUSINESS CONSULTANT A good business consultant will not only see to it that all your obligations are met but will know the way through the Spanish red tape. He can save you a lot of money doing the things right at the first attempt.

It is true. You business consultant will not run your business for you but you can address him with your ideas and he will be more than happy to share with you his experience.

CONTROL YOUR CASH This point is self-evident but we still think it needs clarification. When one is starting a business many will come to you trying to sell you things that you don’t need.

Do you really need to spend much on expensive furniture?

Do you really need so many computers? A common rationalization is to think that we will need all these things to grow.

Bear in mind that, when you are starting up a business and even more so when wondering if closing it down, there is only one department that counts: Sales Department. Put your efforts there without delay.

START SMALL .THINK BIG Yes, you have a small business, but nobody says that you cannot copy the successful behaviors of big companies.

When you see other companies doing well, ask yourself.

What can I copy from them? The neat dressing, smiling staff? Their use of promotions? If it is working for them it can work for you.
