Hash smuggling ring is smashed TWENTY-ONE people were arrested and more than 2.6 tonnes of hashish seized in an operation against drug trafficking between Morocco and Spain.

Seven premises were searched in Cadiz, Malaga and Lagos (Portugal) in the operation carried out by the Guardia Civil, National Police and Tax Office, in which the leader of the gang was arrested.

The operation was launched in 2011 when it was found that an organisation based at the mouth of the Guadalquivir was shipping hashish into Spain from Morocco using yachts.

Two of them were intercepted recently when returning from Morocco and almost 900 kilos of hashish were found.

This follows another one being intercepted in April last year, when 10 people were arrested and 1.25 tonnes of hashish, â‚Ź300,000 in cash, 43 vehicles, three boats and 48 properties were seized. In April this year, 1.8 tonnes of drugs were seized.

Four years jail for gang rape THREE men have been sentenced to four years each in prison for sexually assaulting a British tourist in Benalmadena in October 2001.

The woman, aged 32 at the time, met the two brothers and their cousin at a disco in Puerto Marina, and they offered to take her home by car.

However, they drove to a secluded area and forced her at

knifepoint to take a drug which left her ‘drowsy and defenceless.’

She was then allegedly raped on several occasions.

The victim claims she was hit on the head and at one point was unconscious. She was abandoned on the wasteland with several injuries. She has since required counselling. She has rejected any compensation. The suspects were arrested in

2010 and two of them have criminal records, one for gender violence and domestic abuse.

Two of them were facing 31 years each in prison, and the other, 26 years, but the judge has taken into account how long it took for the case to be tried.

The accused denied the charges at all times and said that although they had had sex with the woman, it was consensual.

The holiday was created in 1995 by John Baur (Ol’ Chumbucket) and Mark Summers (Cap’n Slappy) of Albany, Oregon in the US, initially as a private joke.

The native English West Country dialect is considered the origin of the ‘pirate accent’. That has led to difficulties for Spaniards wanting to join in the fun.

Parents need help to give Lara a life From Front Page She needs constant care. Her parents Steffi, 35, originally from Germany, and Johnny, 40, from Paisley, Scotland, work different shifts so there is always someone on hand to watch her.

Speaking from their Miraflores, Mijas Costa, home their love and dedication to Lara shines through.

As we talk Lara, in her specially made splints and walking frame, she keeps active – a real handful for Johnny.

The restaurant worker said: “This frame and the splints have made a huge difference. Before she couldn’t move around and was in a great deal of pain. The NHS splints were just not suitable for her. Unfortunately, she is growing out of them.”

Steffi, an office worker, said: “There is so much she needs that really makes a difference.

Unfortunately, most of it is not available on the

Lara in her walking frame NHS. We have to raise the money to give Lara a better life.”

She went on to list the splints, made-to-measure in Germany, as one of the biggest expenses.

“They cost €4,000, but by the time we have flown there and paid for lodgings and car hire to run backwards and forwards to hospital it is much more.

“She is due special oxygen therapy which the father of Tomas Leighton (whom generous EWN readers

have helped in his battle against disability) recommended. The next course will cost €450.”

She added: “In total we need €15,000 to make her life as comfortable as possible. We could possibly save it ourselves over four or five years, but Lara needs it now.”

Johnny added: “Really, we are having to swallow our pride. We do not like asking for help. But it is for Lara, not us.”

The family is now setting up a charity to be called LGG. The Euro Weekly News will be making a donation.

The family can be contacted at lgg09@ yahoo.com.

Editor’s note.

The bravery and dignity of Steffi and Johnny is a lesson to us all.

They have swallowed their pride to help their beloved daughter. We owe it to them to help. As a father, I am touched. I will be reaching for my wallet. I am sure our generous readers will be too.

Police on trial for sex abuse of women FIVE National Police officers accused of abusing women at the Centre for Foreigners in Malaga will stand trial in October.

The women were at the centre because they were not legally allowed to live in Spain.

The public prosecution is asking for between two and 10 years in prison for sexual abuse. The accused allegedly organised meals with alcohol, music and candles with the women between June and July 2006 and took advantage of them sexually.

The women were also allegedly given cigarettes, chocolate, jewellery, allowed out of their cells and given the use of mobile phones in exchange for sexual favours. If they refused the officers, the women claim they were mistreated.

Cleaners claim to have found bottles, condoms and other objects at the centre following the ‘parties’ the police had with the women.

€20,000 spent on erotic phone calls THE socialist party in Tarifa, Cadiz, reports a councillor spent €20,000 on calls to erotic phone lines with a municipal mobile phone.

The socialist party, in the opposition in Tarifa, has demanded the immediate resignation of the conservative Partido Popular councillor for Festivities, Ana Maria Garcia, who they claim

spent €20,000 on erotic phone messages, TV services and dating sites in two months.

They have also demanded the resignation of the PP mayor, Juan Andres Gil, who they accuse of allowing this to go on and hiding it.

Staying Positive in the fight against cancer

By Sophie Elliott CANCER is a word that scares us all.

The signs of what to look for are not always clear and can be confusing and daunting. Some of us even think there might be something wrong but we’re too scared to be tested and get the results, just in case it’s bad news.

It’s often easier to ignore the symptoms, hoping they will go away. But that can be a big mistake. The earlier cancer is caught the better the sufferer’s chances of fighting and beating the disease.

For women feeling this way there is help at hand; Positively Pink is a charity dedicated to helping and supporting women throughout the whole breast cancer screening process.

Clinica Medicare supports the Positively Pink campaign by providing the expertise and premises to assist the charity in providing a safe, evidence-based breast screening service for British women on the Costa del Sol. And they don’t charge a penny.

David Donaldson is the owner of Clinica Medicare and a volunteer for Positively Pink. He has a very personal reason to put so much time and effort into helping the charity; he lost his 21-year-old brother to cancer.

“At Positively Pink, we believe that prevention and early detection is the best line of defence, so we focus on prevention,” he said.

“Cancer is a word that makes all of us really scared, and we tend to think that the end result is going to be death.

“But the case is, with advances in medical science, if we catch the disease early the better the outcome will be.”

Clinica Medicare is a nurse-led practice, and for six months of the year members of the team - Dr Deardon, David Donaldson, Bridget the nurse and Gavin in charge of admin - give up their time, free of charge, to helping women through Positively Pink.

David explained: “We’re very lucky to have Dr Deardon. He set up the first breast screening programme in Gibraltar some years ago.”

David added that the breast clinic there identified 30 new cancers in its first year and was instrumental in diagnosing cancers earlier. “That is what Dr Deardon has done here, duplicated that process,” he said.

MAKE a difference. Help fight cancer!

That is the message from Positively Pink.

The Costa del Sol-based charity is hosting its annual Breast Cancer Ball at the El Oceano Beach Hotel in La Cala de Mijas on October 10, sponsored by the Euro Weekly News.

To book a table for what promises to be a fun and entertaining evening with a touching message please call 952 58 75 50.

There are many ways for the public to get involved with Positively Pink and raise money to help those diagnosed with the disease: from a sponsored skydive - now to be held on October 12 - to attending the ball, purchasing Positively Pink merchandise or by simply making a direct donation to the charity.

What are you waiting for?

Now is the time for you to make a difference!

Gavin helps out David Donaldson Last year Positively Pink screened 420 women, 10 of whom were diagnosed positive for breast cancer and nine were over the age for NHS breast screening in Spain (40 to 60) and in the UK (50 to 70).

David remarked: “If you look at the latest research what we’re actually seeing are lots more women in their 30s being diagnosed.

“From a health point of view, this can reflect a really positive message, because if we can encourage younger women to get into the process of going for a screening once a year it will become a habit they’ll form throughout their lives.”

This year the charity has already screened 297 women.

Positively Pink and now Positively Blue, which screens men for prostate cancer, stand to help and support the British expatriate community in Spain by detecting cancer at its earliest stage, but they can only do so for those that book an appointment for a screening.

The charity currently has 20 or 30 appointments left for breast screening from the end of November onwards, so to book an appointment call Gavin on 692 628 096.

Positively Blue The charity launched Positively Blue to combat prostate cancer in men last year.

Globally, prostate cancer is the sixth leading cause of cancer-related death in men, ranking as the number one killer in the UK and second in the US. David said: “Men’s health is a completely different thing because as men we prefer to ignore the symptoms and what we actually see are men going to the doctor in much later stages of terminal disease because they’ve ignored the symptoms. The initial testing process is the PSA blood test, which is a very effective tool and enables us to look at the health of the prostate, and if there are any issues only then do we move on to the next stage.”

The researcher, recently awarded with a 2013 National Statistics Institute prize, argues that healthcare is equally distributed in Spain in relation to the Gini index, which intends to represent the income distribution of a nation’s residents.

This translates into a reduction of the mortality rate and, therefore, an increase of life expectancy according to Debon.

Staying late is costing jobs

SPANISH employees worked 38.82 million hours of overtime last year, compared with 43.27 million in 2011.

Despite an 11.5 per cent reduction, this still meant each year every employee in Spain worked an average 2.3 hours more than stipulated on their contracts. While there might have been an overall reduction nationally, some employees worked longer overtime than in the past, found a survey by the International Confederation of Private Employment Agencies (CIETT).

ITV makes money go around

ITV TEST: Large turnover.

SPAIN’s ITV vehicle inspection system generates €1.7 billion a year.

For every euro that motorists pay for the obligatory test, equivalent to an MOT, they spend another €3.40 on bringing their vehicles up to scratch either before or after the inspection.

The ITV tests account for between 15 and 25 per cent of the total turnover for garages specialising in electrical repairs, found Conepa, Spain’s Federation of Automotive Business-owners. Knowing they must pass the obligatory ITV inspection, vehicle-owners carry out repairs that they might otherwise put off until later, pointed out Conepa’s secretary general Victor Rivera.

A woman’s work is never done!

I

READ an article this week written by a woman who says she feels guilty about spending her husband’s earnings.

The woman described how she has always been a hard worker and enjoyed making purchases for herself and her husband using her salary, but since having a baby she now doesn’t feel as comfortable spending as she describes it - ‘his’ cash.

When she was working, she says she wouldn’t have thought twice about buying lunch out or a new top, but since giving birth to a little girl and stepping back from her desk job the writer is hesitant to spend, as she doesn’t see the income coming into the house as her money!

IT’S YOURS: His money is your money too. stay at home and look after a newborn, but it’s an attitude that makes the 1950’s look progressive and a stop needs to be put to such negative thinking immediately.

A woman looking after a newborn baby is working, and often working long, hard, tiresome days at that.

It’s an important job bringing up a child and it deserves to be valued

in the same way that professions outside the home are valued.

The decision to have a baby is a joint effort, so there is no need for any stay-at-home mum, or dad for that matter, to feel uncomfortable about spending what should be considered as being the family’s money.

Obviously, if one income is lost after having a baby, it’s wise not to be wheeling the new pram around town spending carelessly.

It’s important to be organised and stick to a budget, but a stay-athome mum or dad should never feel as if the worker has the only claim to an income.

In an ideal world it should be shared and spent fairly between the worker outside the house and the worker inside the home.

Telefonica plotting a comeback…

TELEFONICA, which has been suffering in the domestic market, has predicted better times ahead.

The company has been losing customers to cheaper rivals, particularly from its Movistar mobile brand.

Luis Miguel Gilperez, CEO of Telefónica España, had pinned his hopes on ‘bundling’ together landline, ADSL and mobile products plus TV into one monthly payment under its Fusion banner. Since its launch the Fusion bundles have signed up 2.8 million customers.

But despite its efforts

many cash strapped Spaniards are still moving to budget companies. Many mobile customers do not necessarily want to pay for a landline as well. So it remains cheaper to switch to other providers, many of whom offer free or very cheap data downloads as well as phone calls. Others offer good value ADSL internet deals and landline at very competitive prices.

Movistar mobile lost 248,000 customers during March which brought its loss of customers in the first three months of the year to 700,000.

New chairman for Pescanova

IN CHARGE: Luis Miguel Gilperez, CEO of Telefonica España.

Spain’s mobile virtual network operators companies that offer a service using bigger providers’ infrastructure gained 210,000 customers in March alone.

But Telefonica at a press conference has said that it is confident of an upswing in its fortunes. Gilperez said although not yet back to growth, the company

was close to reversing the trend of losing customers. It is planning to launch some innovative and cost effective products. These include the ability to use data ‘bought’ on a contract to be shared across different devices, negating the need for pricey contracts across all a household’s devices.

And it plans to roll out the most modern and

fastest 4G mobile network across Spain at no extra cost to consumers.

That is in contrast to other countries where customers who want 4G will have to pay a premium, usually around an extra €5 to €10 a month.

It claims that 50 per cent of the country will have access to its 4G coverage by Christmas.

INSOLVENT frozen fish company Pescanova has appointed a new chairman.

Shareholders decided to put Juan Manuel Urgoiti into the hot seat to guide the company through what is expected to be a lengthy insolvency process.

The previous chairman left amid charges of insider trading and falsifying information.

Manuel Fernandez de Sousa who left the post in April denied any wrongdoing.

He and nine other executives are under court investigation.

Urgoiti is a former chairman of Banco Gallego and sits on the board of directors of retailer Inditex, owner of Zara.

Gibraltar suffered as well!

MR GRAHAM (Issue 1471) is quite right in praising Malta’s George Cross, but totally wrong about everything else. No one in Gibraltar has called for it to be granted to Gibraltar.

The initiative has come from an English MEP. For the record, Gibraltar was bombed during World War 2 by both the French and Italians.

The majority of the population had been removed to French Morocco only to be rounded up at gunpoint when France fell and crammed into ships that were obliged to sail to the nearest friendly port, Gibraltar, as they had no food or water.

A second evacuation settled people in Madeira, Jamaica and, the bulk, in Blitz-torn and V-bombed London!

Worse than that, our Indian Community was shipped to India, captured by a German raider, shipped to France, their ship torpedoed by a British submarine and the survivors interned in German Concentration Camps. Most of the population suffered five or six years of exile but some lingered in makeshift camps in Ireland away from home and family for 15 years. All able bodied persons helped in the war effort, not forgetting those in essential posts in Gibraltar.

Since then, Gibraltar has contributed to the defence of democracy during The Korean War, the ‘withdrawal from Empire,’ the Falklands War and all the recent conflicts in the near and Middle East. Despite all this, no one in Gibraltar has ever asked for the George Cross.

Parking blues I AGREE with Allen Everington (Issue 1469) and Mick Scarles (Issue 1470) with regards to people parking in disabled parking bays without a badge. Just as bad are the people who abuse the parking privileges that come with a disabled badge.

In the past few weeks I have seen four different cars parked in a disabled bay, display a badge and walk away with no apparent disability and there has not been anyone else in the car. A couple from Holland in Moraira parked in a disabled bay next to an empty normal space, put the badge on the dashboard and were quicker than us into the store.

The early religious academies functioned more as places of indoctrination according to dogma rather than as centres of inquiry and the search for knowledge and understanding.

The non-acceptance by the medieval Church of factual discoveries about the physical world is well known, as is the forced retractions made by men of knowledge under Church duress.

The ‘unprecedented human achievement’ of the Renaissance owed more to the discovery of Arab translations of Greek and Roman

texts and to Gutenberg’s invention of printing with re-usable type than to any positive input by the Church.

I have no problem with people following their bliss but I think it diminishes their credence when, in their bliss, they either misrepresent historical facts or erase them altogether.

Eric Robinson, La Herradura (Granada)

Lanes needed I WAS interested to read the report about how poor Malaga’s cycling lanes are (CDS Issue 1471).

The city is not alone. Cyclists in Spain are very badly catered for. I have read motorists complain about cyclists, but really the majority of us would rather not use the roads or pedestrian paths in town. Well designed cycleways are in everyone’s interests, leaving the roads for cars and pathways for pedestrians.

Samantha Lacalle, Nerja (Malaga)

So sorry!

I WOULD like to say sorry that we had to cancel the paella at the Arts & Crafts Market in Rojales on Saturday evening Sept 7.

Many visitors complained about that, but I had to make the decision early on due to rain and the

possibility of cancelling the event.

Secondly, sorry I wasn’t able to do demonstrations or portraits due to lack of space.

Thirdly, sorry that the event was severely curtailed with only a fraction of the artists expected, but they didn’t want their precious work ruined by rain.

One visitor said “Is this all there is?” - but at least it went ahead!

But better than turning out to find nothing there, I hope.

The event started at 7pm but at 6pm it was still likely to be cancelled and it was only because I knew the gallery cave - Sala Mengolero - was empty and I suggested we used it, that the event happened.

Thanks go to Rojales Town Hall for allowing use of Sala Mengolero at the last minute.

Also thanks to the artists and artisans and the Funtastic Dixieland band.

Martin, Rojales (Alicante)

Another mystery RE the ‘Mystery Statue in Marbella,’ (Costa del Sol, Issue 1470). I always admire this when leaving Venta Los Pacos, but there is more of his work in Marbella in Carib Playa in the beach restaurant Rama.

It has to be by the same artist as it is nearly identical, and at Rama the trees are alive!

Jamie Stonehewer (By email).

Editor’s note: The Euro Weekly News reported on a mystery statue on Marbella’s Golden Mile, the origins of which are lost in the mists of time.

Thank you I AM writing in appreciation of the article on page 2 (Issue 1470, Costa del Sol) regarding the fire and our horses which have found a new home in Barranco Blanco.

This is very much appreciated especially the accompanying photo... a very big thank you.

Vera Wates (Malaga) Editor’s note: The EWN reported how Equinatural, a charity that looks after abandoned horses, had found a new home after a massive bush fire that swept across parts of Mijas, Coin, Alhaurin el Grande Marbella and Ojen (Malaga) last year.

Spanish banks snub Iranian investors

TARGOBANK, the last bank still willing to open bank accounts to Iranian investors, has followed the trend of all other Spanish banks and placed a blanket ban on any Iranian national who, for the most part, arrive in the country to buy Spanish property.

These ordinary investors, attracted by the lower prices of Spanish property, are seeking to invest in the country and, as such, are granted tourist visas (some apply and attain permanent residency) by the Spanish Consulate in Tehran.

N.I.E. numbers are granted by district police stations, property deeds by public notaries and ‘empadronamiento’ certificates by town halls and yet they are, irritatingly, snubbed by Spanish banks on legal pretexts.

Sanctions against Iran have been tightened and these have been aggressively enforced in the U.S. and those countries with closer links to the superpower. Still there is no trace of where within those sanctions lies the prohibition of merely

opening a bank account for an Iranian traumatologist, pistachio exporter or car dealer who wishes to buy a property in Marbella, Madrid or Gran Canaria.

This has arguably created a view where anything remotely related to Iran is often viewed as toxic and problematic and thus leaves lawyers, property developers and real estate agents to all but ‘abandon’ business with the numerous Iranians that wish to invest in Spain.

Alas, on closer inspection it appears there is no such blanket ban in Spain because there is no specific regulation by the Bank of Spain, the Ministry of Interior or that of Foreign Affairs to the effect of entitling banks to slam the door in the face of Iranian investors.

And yet when one meets with branch managers armed with the mandatory ‘know your client’ detailed paperwork, excuses fly around: Iranians have been banned by the EU, bosses say it is not possible, the computer system blocks that particular nationality, our entity does not specialise in dealing with such nationals etc.

Sadly, it all boils down to

Spanish financial institutions being terribly scared of retaliatory action by the U.S. The Government and others prefer to drop certain foreign citizens as clients, even if they risk being reported to the Banco de España for arbitrarily, if not discriminatorily, refusing to open bank accounts for them.

EUROPEAN PRESS OPINION & COMMENT

EWN

www.euroweeklynews.com

Costa del Sol

Mad to even think of voting for Labour after their squandering HOW could anyone in their right mind even consider voting Labour at the next election? Personally the idea of Miliband, Balls and co. actually empowered to introduce just about anything that even vaguely controls the way we exist, fills me with absolute horror.

Last week’s conference did precisely nothing to change my views. The only thing I agreed with in the whole sorry, uninspiring shambles, was the pathetic smattering of applause that greeted Miliband’s final summary.

As a lifelong Conservative, I am still of the unshakable opinion that the UK is a business and should be run as such. Left wingers, with their ‘everybody out’ and ‘a better deal for the workers’ piffle is just that.

Unadulterated hypocritical claptrap.

Workers only prosper when the business prospers. Wages only rise when profits become healthier.

Keep handing out more than is coming in and there can be only one inevitable result - bankruptcy.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT NEXT ELECTION: Who to vote for.

Which is exactly what happened when the ‘New’ Labour brigade took over. Conned by self-ambitious Tony Blair, they inherited a business that, under the Conservatives, was thriving (with a basically happy and suitably rewarded work force) and proceeded to run it into the ground.

In the end they even sold off our gold reserves - at an absolute pittance I may add. Labour and its

OTHERS THINK IT leftwing incompetence, couldn’t run a tombola at a church hall - let alone a UK INC. In an effort to replace millions of disgruntled voters they then opened the immigrant flood gates. Without a single thought for the decent British hard working men and women, who had sacrificed their time and energy to help put the

country firmly on its feet, they subsequently allowed in a positive deluge of often spongers and grabbers, without a patriotic bone in their bodies, who then proceeded to bleed the country dry.

Our National Health Service, schools and public services, which should have been part of the British people’s reward for their hard work, are now strained to breaking point and will take years to recover - if ever. They squandered even more money by attempting to bribe the masses with handouts and subsequently created a vast army of spongers who consider working for a living a mugs’ game.

They embroiled us in a war which cost billions and brought the misery of death and maiming into thousands of British homes.

And some of you want to vote them back in.

Keep the faith.

Love Leapy.

Bump bust A CANADIAN woman was arrested in Columbia for trying to smuggle two kilos of cocaine using a fake pregnancy bump.

Andes man A MAN who disappeared in the Andes four months ago has been found alive after surviving on rats and raisins. He got lost in a snowstorm trying to cross the mountains when his motorbike broke down.

having a phone by the age of five was ridiculous. Children under 10 were too young to have a phone, said mother of three Victoria Vasey, aged 31 from La Marina.

“They should not have one, absolutely not. My eldest was 13 when she got one. It is OK from when they are a teenager at high school and they start going out by themselves a bit.

I do know someone who just bought her six-year-old an iPhone.”

Sheena Parkington, 34, a mother of one, agrees it is not necessary for a young child to have a phone but believes it is more a British thing she said: “I think in the UK it is more about peer pressure. Spain isn’t so gadget orientated or into having the latest items or designer clothes, so I don’t think Spanish children would have a phone so young.”

What to buy, see and do this season SINCE life seems to be so gruesomely serious at the moment, I thought I would redress the balance with a totally trivial piece this week.

So, let’s talk about shopping.

For clothes, for trips and new hairdos - all those trimmings that can add a hint of rose-tint to our glasses.

It may still be balmy here on our southern shores, but the posh ladies in the fashion media have decided that we all need to wear a pink woolly coat this season.

You don’t even have to remortgage the house to buy one as the High Street is teeming with pink hues; powder, baby or salmon all pass the grade.

Still, you should expect a heftier dry cleaning bill and you may need to invest in matching pink socks for your faithful dog, Rex, who may otherwise put some

unsightly paw prints on your new purchase.

While paw prints have yet to hit the fashion radar for anyone over the age of five, leopard and zebra-prints are still going strong, so feel free to go wild this autumn, too.

They are, however, best avoided in male couture unless your name is David Gandy, (the model who was voted the sexiest man alive by a recent YouTube survey, and fronts several advertising campaigns including Dolce & Gabbana,) in which case, you can wear anything at all. Or nothing, come to think of it…

Anyway, back to the fashion dictators, I mean directors, we should all be shopping for some injection of tartan to your wardrobe - be it a beanie (yes, really) hat, skirt or shirt. Any clothing in emerald green is also

Ask your hairdresser to add a fringe when you next go; ‘bangs’ are very this season, apparently, and they also hide any pesky wrinkles on your forehead. Doing so is certainly

Forget about trimming your eyebrows, though; sales of tweezers are allegedly falling due to the ‘Cara Delevingne’ effect the model with the bushy brows.

Again, best treat this trend with caution as she also inspired the recent ‘Onesie’ craze…

If all this sounds far too much like hard work, why not invest in

a little ‘me’ time instead - perhaps a weekend break in Lisbon, which has just won the Best City Destination in Europe title at the World Travel Awards. It boasts the largest aquarium in Europe and, for more historically-inclined visitors, there is a 16th century Moorish castle. Or why not get ahead of the curve and head East to Tokyo and learn Japanese so that you can chit chat with the locals come the 2020 Olympics.

Until next time, wishing you a very fashionable fall season and sayonara.

It’s just not cricket

ANGELA MERKEL: Livid.

Cassandra Nash

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

Olympics were a luxury neither Madrid nor the country could afford.

Treasury minister Luis de Guindos had vowed that cash would be available. So spend it on Health or Education, comes the call now. De Guindos could explain at length why he cannot but few will listen. Social wellbeing is currently the country’s biggest preoccupation, not sport.

Except football, of course.

War games SPAIN had little stomach for international wars until Aznar trotted after Bush and Blair into Iraq, doing himself no good at all.

And then along came Rajoy, present at the G20 meeting and staunchly adding Spain’s name to the joint resolution

from Britain, France and Italy supporting Obama on Syria.

This went down well with the US but badly in Spain where 96 per cent oppose military action.

Still worse, Angela Merkel was livid. It was wrong, she said, to sign the statement without knowing where other EU members, absent from the G20 meeting, stood.

Rajoy afterwards hastened to clarify that Spain was not “expressing support for a specific military action.”

The suspicion remains that the rectification was for the German chancellor’s benefit, not Spain’s.

Main undoing A RECENT POLL showed the PP and PSOE neck and neck. If there were elections tomorrow, Rajoy might not squeeze home.

His huge parliamentary majority has been his undoing because the government’s disdain for consensus is alienating potential voters.

Rajoy could not keep his

election promises regarding the economy and unemployment, but he has been able to carry out election threats.

Labour reforms designed to combat austerity and create more jobs went through parliament like a dose of salts but created more austerity and fewer jobs. This has lost him the support of first-time PP voters.

Unpopular abortion reforms have been delayed for almost two years although Justice minister Alberto RuizGallardon plans to resuscitate them in October. This one is likely to cause concern even to women (and men) who usually vote PP. A popular slogan with women’s groups translates as “Keep your rosaries out of our ovaries” and Rajoy must lose the PPChurch alliance image if he hopes to attract non-PP voters.

But success is neither instant nor effortless. Before JK Rowling started writing Harry Potter, she struggled as a single mother living off welfare. Likewise the American novelist Stephen King and actors Sarah Jessica Parker, Demi Moore and Hilary Swank all had difficult beginnings.

Surely though, the greatest rags-to-riches story of our era is that of Oprah Winfrey. Born into abject poverty in rural Mississippi,

OPRAH WINFREY: From rags to riches success story.

Winfrey transformed herself from news anchor to talk-show host to head of her own multiplatform media empire now worth $2.7

billion (€2.03 billion). Pretty sure she didn’t let the least bit of ‘humiliation’ hold her back!

We frequently read about sales

jobs in UK high street chains attracting hordes of applicants.

With such competition they’re able to pick and choose those who’ll best sell their products in a tough marketplace. With youth unemployment in the UK at 21 per cent - and here in Spain at 56 per cent - I just don’t get why anyone should feel ‘humiliated.’

So job applicants, get real!

Apologies for ranting a bit but it really gets my goat when people claiming to be desperate for work moan about being tested at interview. It’s like taxi drivers who moan about being in traffic.

Anyway, rant over. Off to take another look at The Office - and that robot-dancing…

Starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson and Michelle Rodrigez. Directed by Justin Lin. Runtime 130 minutes. Rated 12.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) By showing confidence in your own way of doing things, you inspire others. This is chiefly because you are at last finding a balance between work and home life. In the past you may have felt stressed and equated that with working - not so now.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Because you are intent on pleasing others, you may be cramping your own style. This is something that you have in abundance and it should be used. You may be feeling that a business idea does not stand a chance and, in any case, you donʼt want to risk any money. .

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) A juicy bit of gossip comes your way this week and it is hard to keep it quiet. You must do so, however, because there is a lot riding on it.

When people trust you, they are saying much about the relationship. In this particular case, the person may well be able to progress you socially at some time in the future.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) The rather more serious side of your nature needs to take over this week. Someone in a higher position is keeping an eye on you.

This may be because they are considering you for promotion, so be on your best behaviour. It is important at the moment to stick to any rules and regulations or your reputation (and pocket) could be hit.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Letting life get too tame will eventually irritate you no end.

Your social life needs a boost which, in turn, helps romance blossom. It is easy to be a bit lazy when things are going smoothly but we all need constant stretching. With an active mind such as yours, the important thing is to keep making progress. This may be in a physical way or in some kind of business.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A chance remark alluding to your past brings a flashback.

This helps you to see a current situation more clearly. We all make mistakes and follow the same old

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Someone will most certainly come to the rescue when your situation changes. Well, they will, won'ʼt they? Have Plan B ready just in case. In continuing to think in the short term you do yourself no favours. Think now of a ʻ10- year planʼ and be determined to reach your goal. Bit by bit and day by day you will progress. You donʼt have to rush ahead and get stressed.

financial backing. Take advice from a professional or someone with successful experience in these matters. Remember that any idea has to grow, so consider what you need to see happen in five yearsʼ time. There is little time for romance and you may decide to put that on hold because of complications.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) During your social encounters this week you meet someone who offers to help. That is great, but do ask yourself if you would be prepared to give anything in return.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Some exciting suggestions make you think twice about a current business matter. However, it may not be necessary to

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) The moment that you have been waiting for has arrived. A colleague has made a decision that is long overdue. Perhaps you are a little shocked and speechless because there has been such a time lag, but this will pass.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) You work hard for your money.

Make it worthwhile by trying to hold on to as much of it as possible. Someone who is charming and plausible may try to get you involved in a fast-track money making scheme.

MAGIC has evolved considerably in the last century; today’s magicians are a daring breed who routinely put their lives at risk in order to shock audiences. Magnificently exciting, unnerving and totally unpredictable, the magicians of this century are taking tricks to another level.

Love conquers all BOOKS books@euroweeklynews.com

1Criss Angel

Star of American TV series Criss Angel Mindfreak, Criss is singlehandedly reinventing modern day magic with his dramatic illusions. Criss has worked on shows with Cirque de Soleil and shocked Las Vegas onlookers when he performed a stunt and walked on water across a swimming pool.

2 Derren Brown

The British ‘psychological illusionist’ uses a combination of suggestion and misdirection in his outlandish performances to exploit how the brain fills in the missing gaps. His victims do the majority of the work by absorbing the subliminal messaging he plants. His most famous stunt to date involved playing Russian roulette with a loaded gun and a member of the public.

3 David Copperfield

The world’s foremost illusionist, David Copperfield - described by Forbes magazine as the most commercially successful magician - has wowed audiences around the world with enormous, eye-popping stunts that have included levitating over the Grand Canyon and walking through the Great Wall of China.

Hailed as ‘the most brilliant magician of this century,’ this two-time Magician of the Year has performed his tricks in front of presidents and foreign royalty.

Lance’s speciality illusion includes levitating anything from body parts to cars.

CAN your child see properly?

Poor eyesight can have a significant effect on children’s ability to learn and on their behaviour, yet often goes unrecognised by teachers, parents and by children themselves. Children may not be aware or may not be able to explain their vision difficulties and, as a parent, you may not notice any problems.

The sooner that vision problems are detected, the better the outcome.

Many childhood eye conditions, such as lazy eye and squint, can be treated if they are picked up early, as the eye and visual system are actively developing during the school years. If vision problems are identified and treated, it can make a difference that lasts a lifetime.

Include a sight test in your ‘back to school’ routine Many parents assume that their child will have their vision checked at school, regardless of whether this actually happens or not. Vision screening provision is patchy; many areas do not provide it. Even where vision screening is provided in school,

SIGHT TEST: Important for young children. there are many conditions which, although they may cause significant problems to a child and their ability to learn, will not be picked up at a screening. Vision screening is only designed to pick up amblyopia (poor sight in one eye) it doesn’t assess if the eyes are healthy, if glasses are needed, or if there are any colour vision defects. An optometrist can do all of this and much more.

Occasionally a child may see very clearly in the distance but be unable

to focus comfortably close up. A behavioural optometrist can often help. By using exercises and lenses, children - and adults - can learn to use their visual system more fluidly and efficiently.

Including a sight test in your back to school routine is a great way to ensure that your child’s vision is not forgotten about.

Broccoli is even better for you than thought A COMPOUND found in broccoli is believed to help protect against sunburn and skin cancer.

Scientists say the sulforaphane compound in the vegetable prevents the growth of cancer cells and can also trigger chemoprotective genes which protect healthy tissue from the toxic effects of chemotherapy drugs.

When rubbed directly into the skin, broccoli could also reduce the chance of a person developing skin cancer, according to the researchers from the University of Arizona Cancer Centre (USA) and John Hopkins University in Baltimore (USA).

The researchers believe that their discovery could eventually lead to a reduction in the

Risks of waiting for pregnancy WOMEN should start their family by the age of 35, fertility experts advise. Newcastle University experts said women shouldn’t use their career as an excuse to delay motherhood, as working life doesn’t get easier with age.

They advised that family planning shouldn’t just be about avoiding pregnancy but that women must be informed about the risks of delaying motherhood.

Otherwise those who don’t have children could be ‘haunted’ by their decision to wait.

They questioned whether couples are less willing to put up with financial hardship than they were in the past.

This test has a greater degree of precision, improves location and delineation of a primary tumour and the suspect lesions by 50 per cent, decreasing false positive and false negative results.

The process lasts approximately 20 minutes (two minutes for the CAT to do the whole body and 18 minutes the PET). It starts with an injection of a radioactive tracer combined with glucose as normal cells when malignant develop a bigger consumption of this element - which acts as a lightbulb emitting the radiation that indicates where the

lesions are. It is capable of detecting tumours of six millimetres.

This means greater comfort for the patient and benefits the specialist, who can obtain an anatomicfunctional image which is easier to interpret. It is indicated at present under tutelage; this means that it is only recommended in certain tumours.

A shoulder arthroscopy is a keyhole procedure in which a camera and small tools are placed into the joint through small cuts, allowing the surgery. These tools are used to smooth bony spurs or irregularities, repair tendon tears and loosen adhesions (structures that have become stuck). If done by a skilled surgeon this can be successful and recovery can take between six weeks and a year (depending what was done).

Hydrodilitation is a relatively new procedure, whereby the practitioner injects fluid into the shoulder under X-Ray imaging to stretch the lining of the tendons and shoulder structures to improve movement.

Shoulder replacement surgery is possible if the joint has become badly arthritic but physiotherapy is important after ANY surgery to reduce pain, maintain movement and improve strength and stability.

Elevate your salad with new dressings Oktoberfest on in Marbella THE Oktoberfest is taking place this weekend in Fuerte Naguelles, Marbella above the picnic area and below Swans School.

The food and drink comes direct from Munich this week with Paulaner beer, traditional sausages and other German foods.

The event starts tomorrow (Friday) with free live music from 5pm to midnight and Saturday with live music and food from 5pm to midnight (ticket price €20) and Sunday (free family day 2pm-midnight).

GERMAN BEER: On offer at the event.

SALADS are a versatile dish.

Served warm or cold, as a side or as the main meal, they fit in every occasion.

Almost any ingredient is suitable for a salad, and they can elevate them into a fine cuisine dish when the produce is good and seasonable.

Equally varied are salad dressings, although people

usually stick to the classic French, Caesar or ranch dressings.

In Spain olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper make up the traditional dressing, but there are a whole lot of possibilities to make salads stand out.

A good variation of the traditional dressing is the lime honey mustard dressing. Honey softens the lime’s sour acidic flavour, while a sprinkle of coriander gives an earthy fresh touch.

Unusual in savoury dishes, cinnamon can be used in dressings to bring new flavours to salads.

Combined with olive oil, vinegar and a bit of hot pepper sauce this dressing will give any salad a little kick.

Any vegetable salad can turn into an Indian dish by adding curry vinaigrette.

Amongst younger visitors to the Marina, hand-made chargrilled burgers have quickly become established favourites. These can be topped with cheddar cheese, bacon or chilli while the enormous triple Mega Burger provides a

The challenges of growing a Spanish Mediterranean garden SPANISH gardens in all areas with Mediterranean climates present challenges compared to gardening in the UK. That is something purchasers of properties on the coast, in the sandy desert areas and, particularly in winter, in cold inland hills will have discovered.

Firstly, like most of Spain much of the soil is not very fertile unless enriched before planting and many of the plants are very different to those planted and cared for previously.

Secondly, the real climatic conditions are not the average

temperatures and rainfalls described in publicity material issued by tourist boards and international estate agents.

Thirdly, most of us came to Spain for a more outdoor lifestyle throughout the year, so you need a garden that is pleasant to wander around, sunbathe and

THE FUTURE: Remember to take into account any future maintenance required when designing your garden. siesta in, cook, eat and drink in.

Fourthly, you may be short of water during the hottest summer months, so the number of plants you can support may be limited.

Fifthly, many people purchasing properties are coming to Spain for their retirement and not to work and therefore may not initially be fully fit to take on the challenge of a

Spanish garden.

We suggest the following things to be helpful.

Build up fitness and strength before tackling the heavy jobs.

Get used to wearing a sunhat on the hottest days.

Design the garden to match the type of lifestyle you envisage in Spain.

Take account of the maintenance required

when you start to design, construct and plant up the garden.

Yes you can employ a gardener, but the more maintenance required, the higher the cost and some garden landscaping companies are in reality more interested in the annual maintenance contract rather than the one-off design contract.

Whatever you do, improve the soil before you plant anything, whether these be perennial or shrub beds, areas of flowering and fruiting trees and space for a vegetable plot etc,.

Start a compost heap for kitchen and garden rubbish as soon as you move in so that within six months you will have compost to mix into the soil.

Select plants that are reasonably drought resistant and frost resistant if inland - we indicate these in Part Four of our book ‘Your garden in Spain.’

Plan to grow at least some of your own fruit and vegetables.

Tropical fruits are possible on the coast and the winter cold inland locations can be good for temperate fruits.

In mild winter areas it is possible to harvest a good selection of vegetables 365 days a year, but in frost pockets this will be

restricted from November until April without a poly tunnel.

Our vegetable and fruit growing books were written to help you in getting going and avoiding the problems that we had in our early days.

If you plan a pool for the hot summer months consider covering it with a sliding roof and installing solar water heating.

With these you will not only be able to make rather better use of the pool, but the cover can also be used as a greenhouse for early and late vegetable crops in containers.

‘Growing healthy vegetables in Spain’ has a special section on growing vegetables in containers.

These warnings and guidelines are based on combined 40 years of experience in creating gardens in Spain.

I wish you well in ensuring your own garden enables an outdoor lifestyle and delicious harvests on most days of the year.

After all these are the best reasons for living in Spain. © Dick Handscombe www.gardenspain.com gardenspain2@yahoo. com September 2013.

Remembering those victims who fought in the Civil War “EVEN the olives are bleeding.”

These are believed to be the last words of poet, Charlie Donnelly, an Irish member of the International Brigades, who fought in Spain during the Civil War. Like many of his comrades in arms he was killed on February 27, 1937 on a hilltop during the battle of Jarama, east of Madrid.

RECENTLY I wrote about my dog Boy Boy who, whilst at Cat and Dog World Kennels, suffered a stomach torsion also known as bloat.

When this occurs most dogs die.

But the wonderful Amy who was on night duty noticed Boy Boy had a problem and he was rushed to the vet and immediately operated on.

But now I know you have to be careful and read the small print.

I presented my claim and was informed that my dog was not covered whilst in kennels. I was lost for words.

Furthermore, I was informed that due to him being a large breed this condition was genetic.

The company does not pay-out for genetic conditions.

To me that means it need not pay for most illnesses since they can easily claim it was genetic and no payment will be made.

www.euroweeklynews.com At SOS Animal Refuge we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 665 682 919 or 605 227 155.

Renault’s triumphant first day at show FRENCH manufacturer Renault was presented with five awards at the awards ceremony held on the opening day of the

Frankfurt International Motor Show.

A jury, made up of 10 independent members who are all design experts, presented awards in the ‘Exterior Volume Brand’ category to the Clio, Captur and ZOE. These three models have been on the market for less than a year and spearheaded the Renault brand’s new design policy.

Developed to mark the 50th anniversary of the Alpine A110, also known as Berlinette, the Alpine A110-50 took an award in the ‘Concepts’ category.

Renault’s stand concept, dubbed ‘The Bump’, also won an award in the Automotive Brand Contest after taking a Red Dot Award earlier this year.

The concept, which was inaugurated at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, won an

award in the ‘Architecture’ category. It takes its inspiration on movement, recreating that feeling on the stand.

The vehicles are exhibited in concentric circles around one or two ‘hills’ with turntables at the top.

This way, the cars can be viewed from every

angle depending on where the visitor is standing.

The impression of movement created by this three-dimensional layout is enhanced by the floor covering and the lighting in the ceiling, which features balls of light moving up and down while changing colour.

James Bond submarine car sold at London auction for €643,500 A SUBMARINE car used by James Bond in The Spy Who Loved Me has been auctioned in London for £550,000 (€643,500).

The Lotus Esprit, also known as Wet Nellie, was used in an underwater scene in which agent 007, played by Roger Moore, escapes with Russian spy Ana Amasova,

actress Barbara Bach.

The vehicle cannot be driven on the road, but is said to be fully functional underwater.

The car was bought by a telephone bidder for £550,000 (€643,500), a lower figure than the initially estimated price of between £650,000 and £950,000 (€760,000 and €1,111,500).

Jimenez rolls back the years of 64 which included eight birdies on the opening day.

The former Ryder Cup star has made a remarkable recovery from the broken leg he suffered whilst skiing at the end of last year, and is currently 21st in The Race to Dubai having finished in the top five in three of the 12 events in which he has competed this season.

After both players had parred the last hole in regulation play to finish tied on 12 under par – Jiménez courtesy of a round of 67 and Luiten a 68 – they returned to the 18th tee for the play-off. Having leaked his tee shot right on the 400 yard par four, Jimenez needed a fairway wood for his approach into a strong wind, but managed to find the front edge of the green.

However, the 19-time European Tour champion charged his birdie putt six

Jiménez was left to rue his costly bogey in the play-off, but the Spaniard was typically magnanimous and philosophical in defeat. He said: “I was very solid all day but made a couple of mistakes in the play-off, and got punished. But Joost played very well, so credit to him. He’s a deserving winner.

The gusts made it very tough, with club selection especially. But for the most part I coped quite well, so I was pleased. In the end it wasn’t meant to be, but you can’t win them all. I still had a very good week –

Rayo’s keeper Ruben had to be on his toes to deny Morales on 15 minutes and El Hamdaoui three minutes later.

Malaga finally made the breakthrough on the halfhour mark, El Hamdaoui volleying the ball into the net from Antunes’s superb left-wing cross.

Los Blanquiazules then doubled their advantage five minutes before halftime when Portillo passed into an empty net after El Hamdaoui had sprung the offside trap and squared the ball to him.

Bernd Schuster’s men extended the lead four minutes after the break, Eliseu picking up Sergi Darder’s through ball and curling a sublime shot wide of former Malaga

stopper Ruben, before El Hamdaoui got his second on 62 minutes when he slotted home a cross from Morales at his near post.

The 29-year-old completed his treble five minutes later, this time beating three Rayo defenders with a deft turn inside the box and firing past former Malaga stopper Ruben.

The result means Malaga move out of the bottom three after a tough start to the 201314 campaign and into a more respectable midtable position.
