A taxing time at Banus port office IT was business as usual at Puerto Banus despite police letting no one in or out of the port offices.

Rumours started to spread that something was up when National Police officers were stationed at the tower which houses the offices earlier this week.

But it turned out to be a routine tax inspection, the second phase of an operation which began in March this year.

The offices are located in the control tower in the marina.

Vineyard in running for top award…

A

SPANISH bodega has a corking chance of being named the European Winery of the Year.

The Marqués de Riscal vineyard in La Rioja has been nominated for the prestigious award by the US Wine Enthusiast magazine. Each year, it honours individuals and companies who have had outstanding achievements in the wine world with the Wine Star Awards.

The Spanish winery may be mulling over its chance of winning, but it is facing tough competition from Axa Millesimes (France), Joao Portugal Ramos (Portugal), Produttori del Barbaresco (Italy) and Vins de Michel Gassier (France). The winners will no doubt be raising a glass when they are announced in the special Wine Star Award issue of December 3.

And they will be toasting their success when presented with their Wine Star Award trophies at a gala black-tie dinner in New York City on January 27, 2014.

Founded in 1858, Marqués de Riscal winery is the oldest in La Rioja and straddles the line between tradition and innovation. The historic cellars feature the latest technology, the hotel aesthetics are stunning and the highly-rated wines are expressive of classic Rioja winemaking. Last year, Marques de Riscal increased its sales in the US by 5.7 per cent to 129,000 crates.

In 1998, Marqués de Riscal became the first winery to combine its production space with leisure and created ‘Wine City’, which aims to promote wine, its history, culture and philosophy.

Warning over danger dogs THE owner of a Yorkshire terrier viciously attacked by two dogs has sent out a warning that it is only a matter of time before a child is attacked.

Jim Morris’s little dog was left fighting for his life for three days at the vet’s after the attack just outside La Cala de Mijas.

Jim had taken him to an area popular with walkers and families, just past the waste recycling depot, when he was set upon by the two animals. “They just went for him, they were ripping him apart.” He added that the two dogs, which appeared to be pit bulls, were with their owner, who just let them run free. “He takes them up there, has a look round, and if he thinks it is clear lets them have a run.”

But, Jim added, the problem is they are then out of his control. “Families go up there, and I am worried that children could be their next target. A friend of mine has had his Doberman attacked by these dogs as well.”

No sign of murdered Marta THE latest search for the remains of murdered Sevilla teenager, Marta del Castillo, has concluded without success.

Police searched a cornfield where the confessed killer claimed her body is buried.

Marta, 17, went missing on January 24, 2009. A search with ground-penetrating radar equipment on the Finca Majaloba, in

La Rinconada, Sevilla, carried out over three days this summer showed that trenches had been dug in the area where he claimed she was buried.

Once corn was harvested a more indepth search was carried out over 26 hours, but any signs of recent digging which showed up on the radar coincided with locations where a pipeline had been installed.

Marta’s ex-boyfriend, Miguel Carcaño, claimed he killed her during an argument after hitting her over the head with an ashtray. He was sentenced to 21 years and three months in prison.

However, he said in April, in his seventh confession, that his brother killed Marta when she stepped between them to stop an argument.

He said they took the body to the property, 12 kilometres away, where they buried it in a ditch and covered it in lime.

He had previously given several different versions about the locations where the body was dumped.

Police will continue to work on the case.

them occurred in rural areas.

In many cases, some of the victims’ relatives also required counselling, as they may feel guilty, especially if the case was not reported due to shame or pressure from relatives.

The Women’s Institute reports one of the main reasons women do not go ahead with complaints for sexual abuse is because of the lack of psychological support which leads to

emotional breakdown.

The use of social networks is leading to new cases of sexual violence, but of a different sort.

Women can become the victims of blackmail when photos and videos of a sexual nature, which they have sent to others via phone, are used against them. Other ways are by accessing their profiles without permission, or using mobile phones to control their movements.

The local town hall and the Junta de Andalucia were informed and have visited the school.

One of the children had to be taken to the doctor for treatment.

The school has said that it may be due to trees which are on the grounds, and although the education department says this has not been proved, they have admitted that a

large number of aphids were found and the trees will be fumigated.

Another theory is that birds in the area may have been carrying fleas.

The children cannot come near the trees within 48 hours of them being fumigated.

However, the Education Department has also said that most of the children affected, and some of the staff, are all concentrated in the pre-school area.

Therefore, if the problem continues after fumigating, they will investigate further.

Hospital protests gather strength A PROTEST was held in Cartama to demand the opening of the Guadalhorce Hospital.

The mayors of Alozaina, Monda, Tolox, Alora, Pizarra, Carratraca, Coin, Cartama and Ardales supported the action organised by the Group For the Guadalhorce Regional Hospital.

They have demanded that the Health Department of the Junta de Andalucia set aside money in the 2014 budget in order to hire staff.

Spokesman for the group, Miguel

Esteban Martin, pointed out that the political parties, institutions and social groups must stick together on this matter. In the past, the group said that the Junta and all the other groups involved must put more pressure on electrical supplier Endesa to provide electricity for the hospital.

The spokesman said it’s no use having a finished hospital which has been equipped, but has no electricity or staff.

Protests will continue in the coming weeks.

Summer heat in October TEMPERATURES in the first two weeks of this month have at times reached seven degrees above the historical averages in Malaga.

The average daytime temperatures in the province have been above 28.5ºC, when the

norm for the time of year is around 26ºC. On October 1 in particular, it still seemed like summer, with temperatures hitting 33ºC mainly due to the warm ‘terral’ wind which was blowing. Only seven days in the summer

registered such high temperatures.

However, from today (Thursday) the winds, especially along the coast, will bring down temperatures in the province, but there is no sign of any rain until the weekend.

A Positive night for Costa

By Sophie Elliott THE generosity of the expatriate community was clearly evident when €25,500 was collected at The Positively Pink Breast Cancer Charity Ball.

The entire night was packed with excellent live entertainment, fantastic food, exceptional service and plenty of fundraising – and it was all to raise cash for the fight against cancer.

On the night, everybody gave something, be it big or small, to contribute towards helping a remarkable charity.

One of the biggest money-spinners was the auction, which gave guests the opportunity to bag themselves some incredible lots.

One of these was four tickets for BBC’s Top Gear, which is rumoured to have a 40-year waiting list! The tickets sold for €2,000. Another was a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ trip aboard the Orient Express, one of the world’s oldest operating steam trains, which was won by Mr and Mrs Richardson, who bid €350.

Club La Costa donated two weeks’ holiday at one of its resorts on the Costa del Sol, Tenerife, Turkey or even the USA for one lucky bidder.

There was everything from paintings to DVD players, and even a breast-shaped cake on offer.

One lady bought a one-of-a-kind pink designer dress, and then auctioned the one she had arrived in!

There was also the opportunity for one lucky person to win a ring worth €5,000, in the Ring Box Lucky Dip competition.

Earlier, Lorraine Palmer, owner of the El Oceano Beach Hotel, and founder of Positively Pink, had introduced the evening with a speech about the charity and the important work it does. She thanked the Positively Pink team for giving up their time free of charge to help, and thanked the Euro Weekly News for sponsoring the event and publicising everything they do, allowing them to reach and ultimately help more women and raise more money than they could ever imagine.

The Ball was a real family affair with Lorraine, her husband John, daughter Jordana and sonin-law Glen, helping out, entertaining the guests and individually contributing towards making the night one to remember.

The music on the night was exceptional, with tenor Michael Sterling and his special guest Natasha Campbell giving the crowd goosebumps with performances from Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables and My Fair Lady, to name a few. They were followed by Pete Nabarro performing Neil Diamond classics; Zoe Louise whose classics from the 60s had the crowd on its feet; Rob Stevens who wowed the audience with his stunning voice; and the most incredible electric violin performance from Quike Navarro.

Meanwhile, Magic Al circled tables with his collection bucket and boggled the minds of many with his unbelievably clever card tricks.

Fundraiser Lee Jay in the Positively Pink jacket, worn each year by the compere, presented loads of fabulous and fun ways of raising money, one of which was the raffle where a select few won hampers containing Positively Pink

goodies, a bottle of cava, a voucher for a meal for two, magnetic jewellery and much more.

The atmosphere during the entire night was electric, starting with a Pink Champagne reception before guests were shown into the main restaurant, which was adorned with pink ribbons and roses.

The menu provided by the El Oceano Beach Hotel was fantastic with Salmon to start, Beef Wellington served with Dauphinoise potatoes and a Raspberry Eton Mess for dessert. All served by the fantastic staff who kindly donated all of their tips on the night to Positively Pink.

THIRTY-FOUR people have been arrested throughout Spain for obtaining residence permits for immigrants through arranged marriages.

They were arrested in Barcelona, Murcia and Mallorca, on charges of arranging marriages between illegal male immigrants and Spanish women or EU citizens living in Spain.

The suspects charged the men up to €15,000 to provide them with forged documents with which they could obtain their residence permits. They also paid €400 to other legal residents in

Spain to register the illegal immigrants as residing in their homes to provide proof of fixed abode in Spain.

The investigation began after it was found that illegal immigrants were being offered documents in exchange for money, many in cyber-cafés but also in other areas.

Most of the men were Indians and Pakistanis, and the women who agreed to marry them obtained up to €2,000.

Thirteen other people have been charged in the case.

The police went to the restaurant in El Faro Urbanisation after complaints from residents regarding excessive noise levels, and found bingo was being played.

The officers asked them for licences to prove they could carry out such activities, but they didn’t have any. They also had no opening licence, no complaints book and no insurance.

They argued the bingo was being held for charity, for an association not registered at the town hall. The police gave them several days to come up with documents for the association, but they failed.

They also told police that cash prizes were not given, and instead winners got points which they could exchange for drinks.

Police seized bingo cards and posters advertising the game.

DEMOLITION: All that is left after the bulldozers moved in.

Reduced to rubble Expatriate homes torn down on judge’s orders

By Stephen Lear TWO homes owned by British expatriates have been reduced to rubble after a planning row. The bulldozers moved in and demolished the properties in Las Terreras, Cantoria, which were illegally built but bought in good faith.

Former Mayor of Cantoria Pedro Llamas was jailed for two years in a case relating to the situation.

Neighbours were left stunned on Monday at what they were seeing. With a strong security presence, representatives of the Junta de Andalucia fulfilled the demolition order which had been hanging over two of the four homes built by a local builder. Within a matter of 40 minutes the properties, belonging to retired Britons, were reduced to rubble. It is believed that three of the four families affected have returned to the UK. Maura Hillen from Urbanisticos Abuses Almanzora No (AUAN) found only heaps of rubble and some personal items at the site, testimony that people had once lived there. She said: “The judge’s order indicates that the buyers purchased the property in good faith, so they must be compensated. But it seems the town hall is not responsible and the developer is insolvent. This is an attack on human rights. Nobody knows how to compensate these families and all they have left is rubble.”

Last year’s total turnover from storing, transporting and distributing goods ordered on the internet rose to €855 million. An 8 per cent overall increase is predicted for this year.

Fertility rates hit by poor economy THE fertility rate of Spanish women has fallen since the crisis.

The highest figure during the last decade was 1.36 children for every Spanish woman of child-bearing age, recorded in 2008 by the National Statistics Institute (INE).

The higher rate amongst foreign women in Spain was at its greatest in 2002, with 1.86 children per woman.

By 2012 the overall fertility rates for both had fallen to 1.28 and 1.54 respectively.

The harder a country’s economy is hit, the greater the decrease in fertility, concluded ‘Focus on Spanish society,’ a report from the Funcas think-tank. In 2011, Spanish women who worked had 1.91 children while unemployed women had 0.80, Funcas found.

This was in direct contrast to Germany, Austria and Norway with their generous social benefits for families and children.

Germany has a fertility rate of 0.88 for women who work and 2.66 amongst those who do not.

Funcas also pointed out that Spain has a high proportion of couples in the 25-49 age group where both work full-time and have children under six.

Again, this pattern is not repeated in countries like Gemany or Austria.

Price fixing investigation SPANISH multinational Abengoa, owner of Europe’s biggest bioethanol plant is under investigation by Brussels.

It is suspected of possible manipulation of oil and biofuel prices.

Needy growth AN annual report by Catholic charity Caritas claims that more than 6 per cent of Spain’s population lives on €307 a month or less. It adds that the number of ‘severely poor’ people in the country doubled between 2008 and 2012.

AENA spending out of control AENA, Spain’s airport and air navigation operator, spends €863,200 a year on 83 cars for executives.

It is one of Spain’s most unprofitable state-owned companies, owing €12.57 billion by the end of 2012.

Ten per cent of its staff were made redundant last year.

“AENA is outside public control,” said Pere Macias, an MP for CiU in the central

parliament in Madrid. “Its executives act as though they are employed by a private company,” he declared.

Last year, prompted by adverse publicity, the company cancelled its Financial Director’s five-year car hire contract.

The luxury vehicle with leather upholstery and a silk-lined roof would have cost the company €70,422.

Get back to financial basics WITH the internet, newspapers, magazines and advertising it’s easy to stumble across financial advice these days, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we take it on board.

It is all too easy to walk around in a daze, paying little attention to how we spend our earnings and this, of course, can lead to financial disaster.

Establishing a good healthy financial situation takes a lot of hard work and attention in the beginning. But once a good system is in place, it becomes much easier to save money and spend wisely.

Starting off on a solid financial footing is all about getting the basics right. There is a lot of overwhelming financial advice circulating out there, but there are some fundamental principles that you shouldn’t overlook.

For example, remember there is no such thing as quick and easy money. If someone says they can double your money with no risk, then turn the other way.

Doubling money in such a short space of time equals more risk,

Loose change A look at finance for females Jane Plunkett jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com

not zero risk. Any investment with such an unrealistic target is sure to disappoint.

Next, sort out what’s important and what’s not. These days we are so caught up by the glam and glitter of all the nice products bombarded at us from the TV and that dazzle us in the shops. If a savings plan is going to take shape it means taking a step back and really debating a purchase before handing over the cash. Ask yourself if you really need it. Just because the rest of the world has a shiny new object does not mean you have to have it too.

Don’t pay attention to everyone else; just worry about yourself and your goals.

Even if you’re dealing with paying off loans or credit card bills, don’t let

that stop you from saving. It may seem like a good idea to get loans out of the way before saving, but that’s not always the case.

It takes time to form a habit, and training yourself to save is a great habit to form. So start now. Following these simple basic steps will help you towards a less stressful financial future.

SAVE: Get accustomed to good practices.

Spanish held back as I in 5 fall below most basic reading level SPAIN is near the bottom of the list in a new survey of literacy and numeracy levels amongst adults in developed countries.

That means the country, along with Italy, could be being held back in the fight to emerge from economic hardship.

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Survey of Adult Skills measured the skills of 16 to 65-year-olds across 24 countries and looked at how literacy, numeracy and problem-solving is used at work.

The results reveal the challenges some major economies face in boosting their skills levels. In reading, more than one in five adults in Italy (27.7 per cent), Spain (27.5 per cent) and France (21.6 per cent) perform at or below the most basic level, compared with one in 20 Japanese (4.9 per cent) and one in 10 Finns (10.6 per cent).

Almost one in three adults in Italy (31.7 per cent), Spain (30.6 per cent) and the USA (28.7 per cent) perform at or below the most basic level of numeracy, compared to around one in 10 in Japan (8.2 per cent), Finland (12.8 per cent) and the Czech Republic (12.8 per cent).

The Survey also reveals the extent of the ‘digital divide,’ with millions failing to master

even simple computer skills, such as using a computer mouse. This ranges from nearly one in four adults in Italy, Korea, Poland, the Slovak Republic and Spain to one in 14 adults in the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.

It provides clear evidence of how developing and using skills improves employment prospects and quality of life as well as boosting economic growth. It helps countries set meaningful targets benchmarked against the achievements of the world’s CD ght OE Copyri

leading skills systems and to develop relevant policy responses.

“Too many people are being left behind today,” said OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría: “With effective education and life-long learning everyone can develop their full potential.

“The benefits are clear, not only for individuals, but also for societies and for the economy.”

Launching the report in Brussels with with Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, Mr. Gurría added. “Learning does not stop at school: governments, businesses and people can and must continue investing in skills throughout life.”

HELD BACK: “Too many left behind” said OECD’s SecretaryGeneral Angel Gurría.

Investors say yes INVESTORS have given a vote of confidence to Spain by snapping up 31-year government bonds. It was Spain’s first new long term bond since 2009.

IT was more than three times oversubscribed, with the Spanish treasury receiving €10 and the Treasury received €10 billion in offers, more than three times what it had planned to sell, half from foreign investors.

Spain will pay around 5.2 per cent interest, a huge improvement on the 7 per cent for 10 year bonds it was forced to pay last year.

Spain’s financial problems are easing as the European Central Bank has backed the euro and markets are flooded with liquidity by the USA and Japan.

OPINION & COMMENT

Look to the future to be a big success SOME people are never happy.

For years I have heard people moaning about how the local council does nothing to help the town’s businesses.

Now, Fuengirola Town Hall is digging up two streets to put in new pipes and re-lay/ pedestrianise the area near the port.

This will revitalise those streets and should bring back trade thought lost forever. But when I talk to local businesses they moan. They would rather, it seems, stay in a tatty, rundown street than put up with some inconvenience.

They are missing the bigger picture. Once the work is done they will have businesses on attractive streets, near the port and just off the paseo that could become a goldmine for gogetting businesses.

Take the blinkers off and look to the future! You will be thankful in a couple of months.

J Johnson, Fuengirola (Malaga)

Scam or rip-off?

I AM still not sure if this is a scam or a rip-off as it starts out in the usual fashion.

The phone rang and when I answered it, I was told that Repsol were calling to check the gas installation. A short time later, two men turned up with what appeared to be the correct paperwork and badges, etc, so I let them in.

They inspected the installation and produced some kind of filter they said had to be fitted, one to each appliance. I was told it would be €300 to fit the two filters I needed. Being a retired engineer I looked at the filters and decided that a price of €50 might have been more in order considering the amount of work involved was no more than half an hour.

So I said no. At this they started throwing their tools back into their bag and muttering about coming to take the bottles

away within 48 hours. The next day, the phone rang and someone at the other end started to say that someone would be coming for my bottles.

I told them not to bother and rang off.

Just to be on the safe side, I checked with the main Repsol agent in Fuengirola, my solicitor and even the Local Police, who all informed me that no one can take the bottles from you if you have a contract with Repsol. I am still not sure if it was a scam or a rip-off.

Roy Baugh, Torreblanca (Malaga)) Editor’s note: Fake gasmen are a well-known scam in Spain. Appointments for a safety check should be made directly with the office of the local gas supply company, who will arrange a proper contract and invoice.

Worthwhile fun MY partner and I attended a charity ball at Camping International La Marina in aid of The Butterfly Children.

It was an excellent evening

WHEN YOU WRITE All letters, whether by email or post, should carry the writer’s postal address, NIE and contact number though only the name and town will be published.

from the Champagne reception, tasty food charmingly and efficiently served, through to the MC and the entertainment by Bella Luna.

There was a short film to explain what the charity is all about. The whole evening was carried out in a very enjoyable and professional manner and I believe somewhere in the region of €4,000 was raised. This is the fourth year that the Ball has been run and Rose and I will definitely be going to next year’s.

The Butterfly Children, so named because they suffer from a condition that makes their skin as fragile as a butterfly’s wing, is a very worthwhile cause. The

official name of the charity is DEBRA and they have a charity shop at Pueblo Bravo, Quesada near the Budapest Restaurant just off the Lemon Tree Road.

What a waste!

SENDING garden waste 50 kilometres for disposal, when the council gets around to it, (Costa Blanca South, Issue 1475) is a waste. Not only is it expensive, the waste makes good compost which could be sold.

Orihuela Council really needs to get its act together sometime soon. I am not holding my breath.

SE, Orihuela Costa, (Alicante) Editor’s note: The EWN reported on an accumulation of garden waste in the streets of Orihuela Costa.

Quite right CLIVE GRAHAM (Issue 1474) is correct in his contention that overpopulation is the reason for global warming.

If you watch UK television you cannot fail to notice that at least one quarter of adverts are from charities asking for funds to assist with saving children from poorer countries; well-meaning but misguided intentions.

We have been providing funds for generations to save children from various disastrous situations, but those children we have saved will, in 15 years’ time, produce more children, perpetuating the problem.

It is a fact of life that any piece of land will only support a certain population and to exceed that number is inviting further disaster. The answer is sex education and contraceptive help. If these well-meaning charities were to guarantee that all funds they receive would be used totally to that end, I would willingly contribute and future generations would only be asked to assist with funds when an unexpected natural disaster occurs.

Hounded off NOW I have seen everything!

Dogs need to take ID to board a bus (Mallorca, Issue 1475).

What if pooch refuses to show it?

Will he be hounded off?

James Argyle, Palma (Mallorca) Editor’s note: The EWN reported that dogs will be allowed on buses on the Number 30 route to the ‘dog beach’, but only if they have ID.

Mystery bird...

I WONDER if any of your readers could help me identify a bird I saw in la Cala de Mijas (Malaga).

It was huge and coloured light brown like a young seagull, but had webbed feet and was ringed.

It pecked at everyone - at their feet and bottoms - before I managed to walk it back to the beach, where it did a little run and spread its wings and was gone. It was too big to be a young seagull. I was wondering what the bird might be?

Citizenship application

By Antonio Flores Abogado/Lawyer LLM (Essex) - Reg. Nº 4712 I.C.A. Málaga E-mail: aflores@lawbird.com Homepage: http://belegal.com/blog-by-antonio-flores www.lawbird.com

THE Daily Mail reported that a speeding offence was enough for the UK Border Agency to reject a citizenship application from a person from Botswana due to ‘bad character’.

Spain’s authorities also apply discretion to assess the eligibility of a foreigner for a Spanish passport, although it seems that proportionality it is better applied in Spain.

The basic principles will however apply when an applicant has won the right to become a national: by passing of time; good behaviour; lack of criminal record; adequate integration into Spanish society; reasonable command of the language, and a stable income.

A Moroccan man was turned down because of insufficient integration. His only friends were three compatriots, he barely comprehended the political structure of the society he lived in, and had shown minimal understanding of essential aspects of the society he wished to

become part of.

An Argentinian who illegally connected a telephone device to a box and made free phone calls was also denied citizenship.

The court deemed such action ‘hardly consistent with good moral character’.

Conversely, a Dominican lady saw the Supreme Court revoking a decision by the Civil Registry rejecting her application on the basis that she was working in a brothel, since it was not demonstrated that she offered sexual services, but that even if she did, the profession ‘was neither illegal nor morally reproachable’.

Finally, a rejected illiterate applicant successfully appealed on the grounds that ‘belonging to a demographical group where the percentage of literacy is minimal, did not necessarily imply that the person could not fully integrate in society as she could speak Spanish with fluency and express herself clearly and effectively.’

and is limited to 100 people.

OPINION & COMMENT

Sticking to his guns LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

I

MAY appear to be thick-skinned and emotionally uncaring when accused of ranting and racism, but I can tell you I most certainly am not. Particularly as far as the latter is concerned.

Many of my past correspondents have really hit hard with their nasty accusations, including the occasional death threat. The reason I have stuck to my guns over the years, is not only because I believed I was right, but also because I have been strengthened by the amount of positive support I have received. Support which has far outweighed the dissent.

Over the years, literally hundreds of readers have expressed their agreement with my views and have congratulated both me and the Euro Weekly News for having the courage to speak out when they themselves, fearing recriminations, have not been able to do so.

I am also of the firm belief that the pen is far mightier than the sword. With the refreshing open discussions that have emerged this week, not only have all those dissenters been put firmly in their place, but also any violent alternatives have at least been put on the back burner for a while. The extremely ‘better late than never’ SKY News poll this week came up with the fact that

RACIST? Immigrant taxi firms. an overwhelming 67 per cent of British people believe enough is enough and drastic, immediate action is needed to curb immigration to Britain’s shores.

Personally, I like to hope this is only the beginning of a whole new approach to what is still a growing and extremely worrying problem.

In many ways the immigrants have only themselves to blame. There is a wonderful old probably British - saying that you should not bite

the hand that feeds you. In many ways this is exactly what thousands of immigrants have done. Far from integrating with their generous hosts, they have gone out of their way to recreate their own societies, even to forming segregated areas where they endeavour to reproduce the culture and customs of the countries they have actually run away from!

Many companies, particularly cab firms, are manned and run exclusively by immigrants. This can only have been achieved by practising racism, something which they are very quick to whine about when they consider it is being instigated by locals, but in fact, they themselves can often be the worst offenders of all.

The burka is a racist insult to the British people. It is a completely alien outfit, specifically designed to segregate and separate these people from the culture of Britain. Always in black (not pink or blue or some less intimidating colour, you notice!) it is nothing to do with religion and should be banned completely, except perhaps for specific occasional festivals.

The list goes on.

The British people have adapted to foreigners long enough. It’s high time they were shown respect, gratitude and reciprocated adaptation from those who wish to live among them.

LETTERS TO LEAPY

Zzz factor THANK GOD someone else thinks the X Factor is the biggest load of rubbish on UK TV. Maybe I could be the one to commit suicide! But wait a minute, Dr Who is back so all is not lost.

Mike Johnson (By email) Editor’s note: Leapy said (Issue 1475) there was danger of a contestant committing suicide due to the ‘cruelty’ of the show.

Burka thanks THANK YOU for your article saying the burka was a ploy to bring in the Islamist message (Issue 1473). This and other articles have proved to me that multi-culturalism is not working very well.

The problem being there is no reverse built into the system.

Peter Savage, Los Montesinos (Alicante)

Stacey Dooley Investigates (Documentary) BBC 3 from 3:00am to 4:00am Every spring, two million partygoers flock to Cancun for a week or two of pure hedonism - the Mexican resort is second only to Ibiza in the party stakes for young Brits. But as Stacey Dooley discovers, behind this famous spring break hotspot there's a darker side to Cancun that the tourists rarely get to see. Stacey joins the police to see the daily struggle they face to protect the tourists and mop up the trouble they cause. She also spends time with the medics responsible for dealing with the casualties when things go wrong.

Investigating what's hiding behind the glossy resorts and brightly-lit mega-clubs, Stacey finds out why Mexico's military marines and armed police patrol them, and reveals what life is really like for the thousands of Mexican hotel workers who cater to the holidaymakers.

Europe and Cataluña

Duran Lleida: ‘Brussels will not bend the rules for Cataluña’ Cassandra Nash

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

D

URAN LLEIDA shot down in flames the separatists’ belief that Brussels would bend the rules to keep Cataluña within the fold.

“It’s impossible to say that Europe will save us a place.

Europe left us with bare backsides after the War of Succession in 1714,” he warned.

Old rancour lasts for centuries, especially when it’s the result of an unwise choice.

Voices of reason IS the PP milking the Cataluña question for all it’s worth?

Better a sovereignty issue that unites most nonCatalans regardless of ideology, than the corruption issue that temporarily united the entire nation.

Meanwhile, voices of reason are becoming more audible and one of them belongs to Josep Duran Lleida.

His party Unio Democratica de Catalunya is one half of Convergencia i Unio (CiU), a centre-right nationalist party that is actually an electoral alliance. The other half, Convergencia Democratica de Catalunya is headed by Artur Mas, the regional president.

Duran Lleida would settle for leaving conflict to one side, he said recently, and happily accept wider self-government powers.

Would Artur Mas settle for this? Possibly, but he has schlepped so far along the

VOICE OF REASON: Duran Lleida is becoming more audible. independence route that turning back would not be easy, even supposing the radical ERC nationalists who shore up CiU would allow him to. And nor does he want to hear the inevitable “We told you so!”

Old loyalties SOMEBODY tried to blow up Senen Pousa who is a Franco-

supporter and proud of it.

More accurately somebody tried to blow up the town hall in Beade (Orense). The council is controlled by the PP and Pousa has been mayor for more than 40 years.

No-one was hurt and the building remained intact although badly damaged. “They’re not going to change the way I think with bombs,” he said afterwards.

Pousa, a Galician who has never hidden his respect and admiration for the dead dictator, another Galician, claims that noone in the party has ever tried to bring him into line.

Pousa went even further by claiming “there are many people in the PP who breathe the same air, but say nothing.”

It is not an old man like Pousa who endangers democracy. On the contrary, he demonstrates that democracy can absorb and digest eccentrics. The real danger comes from the people who use bombs to make a political point.

The Full Monty (Film, 1997) Peter Cattaneo and Simon Beaufoy's low-budget tale of unemployed Sheffield steelworkers putting on a striptease show stormed the box office on both sides of the Atlantic, and became one of the most successful British films ever made, taking over £52million in the UK alone.

Unemployed friends Gaz (Robert Carlyle), a bitter but devoted divorced father, and Dave (Mark Addy), an overweight but dedicated husband, stumble upon a local Chippendales-style show. They decide to start their own strip act in order to make some quick cash, and to take their minds off the dole.

Mystery of your missing friends Retribution catches up with you ... in the end of the day Nora Johnson

VER wondered what happened to that childhood/teenage friend of yours? The one who suddenly wanted nothing more to do with you?

Maybe you’ve since made contact at a school reunion or via Facebook or Friends Reunited? Or maybe you simply haven’t dared - scared of the reason?

My latest crime thriller, Retribution - next in the series featuring the 33-yearold journalist, Alice Myers from Soul Stealer - deals precisely with this dilemma.

She can’t understand why her closest friend, Ellie, suddenly broke contact years

CRIME THRILLER: The latest book in the series deals with the death of a friend who broke contact.

ago. Is Alice to blame? In unravelling the mystery of Ellie’s unexpected death and the subsequent murders together with DI Neil Hunter, Alice unearths secrets and confronts truths she can hardly believe - with enough red herrings for a Spanish fishing fleet!

I’m often asked about my novels. About how much of me and my personal experience goes into them.

To give a brief but balanced answer: ‘yes and no.’ Well, I did say brief! Yes, because, inevitably, those you meet do

influence you. No, because the characters eventually created are composites.

As for authors who sell in the millions, do they portray themselves as they are or

would like to be? Take the late Stieg Larsson (The Millennium Trilogy). His protagonist, Blomquist, is described as a goodlooking, campaign magazine journalist attractive to women.

Larsson was also a campaign magazine journalist. As for his looks, peep at his image on any back cover. Go figure!

The names for characters have to be handled with real care, too. Take names like Beckham, Blair or Ramsay. Give any one to a quiet, self-effacing character and all the connotations take over. And in your mind’s eye, all you’ll see is Beckham/ Blair/ Ramsay as, in psychologists’ jargon, feelings of transference take over.

Which brings me on to that old chestnut: writer’s block.

Here I’m reminded of (Raymond) Chandler’s Law: “When in doubt, have a man come through a door with a gun in his hand.” Good grief!

And, finally, what about the actual writing? Grammar and so on. Which reminds me.

Once one of my readers graciously offered to proofread my manuscript and pinpoint any errors in punctuation, spelling and style.

Of course i spel perffecttly and theres never no punktuation, erors! so her job was like, :- easy.

Minding your manners Mike Walsh Mike Walsh. Based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

FTER more years than I care to remember, I still recall the elbow in the ribs. “Get up, son. Give the lady your seat.”

When I became less of a callow youth, I would volunteer my bus seat without a poke in the ribs. It was, and still is, my second nature to keep open a door for an approaching lady.

I help elderly people on or off public transport or I take their bags whilst they alight. I am not sure who gets the warmest glow, them or me. Civility towards others was drummed into me but I confess there have been lapses.

Etiquette might have been the

first French word I learnt. As I helped a new member of the staff with her coat, I sensed her body ‘blushing.’ The same happened when I held the car door open for her. She afterwards told me that no one had ever done that for her before. Jayne was in her late 20s.

A little before my time true gentlemen got to their feet when a woman arrived in the room. I do recall that when passing a woman a man might doff his cap or at least touch its brim.

Conversational good manners have disappeared. It seems that everyone agrees with the principle, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Do not expect it to be other than fine words.

Today there seems to be a streak of almost medieval intolerance shown towards those of conflicting view. Unwillingness

ETIQUETTE: True gentlemen stood when a lady entered.

to simply accept an opinion often leads to a verbal brawl.

During the 1930s and earlier, mining villages and similar working class communities across England had their debating societies.

Each speaker was accorded civility and debaters’ opinions were respected. One suspects that fear of a punch-up or a visit from ‘Plod’ would discourage such freedom of expression these days.

According to one survey, many young people have never written a handwritten letter. It is inconceivable that they might pen a few expressions of gratitude to someone who had given them a gift, shown a kindness, attended a function or perhaps accommodated them for a few days.

Recently our group was disappointed to find a Sunday dinner restaurant fully booked.

Stuff happens but given the discourteous brush-off, we will

not be visiting a second time.

Many in public service are sadly lacking in people skills. Ironically, it is not the youngsters who tend to be bad mannered; the worst offenders are those old enough to know better.

There are of course many exceptions to the rule, but the incivilities of an intolerant or rude minority spoil everyone’s day.

Perhaps it is our fault for tolerating the intolerance of others. I no longer do so.

Will the shutdown in the US affect the rest of the world?

WHEN America sneezes, the world catches a cold. With the American Government paralysed and a month-long Government shutdown predicted to knock back the US economy’s growth, are our readers worried about the knock-on effect?

STREET TALK

A

LREADY deep in recession, can Spain’s fragile economy take another hit if the shutdown snowballs into a financial crisis that affects the whole world?

“America thinks its role is to police the world’s actions, but they are not the world’s police,” says ‘El Diablo’, aged 82, from Moraira (Alicante).

Having travelled and worked all over the world, including on the Sarir Messla oil fields, he believes the US dollar is about to “go totally bust” and that Spain should focus on its own interests rather than follow or be led by America. “Spain’s biggest mistake was to become part of the EU,” he said.

Suzanna Brighten, visiting her holiday home in Benissa (Alicante) from Yorkshire, said:

‘EL DIABLO’: USA not the world’s police.

Norman Clarkson

“America has a massive global impact; rightly or wrongly, that’s how it is.” The 48year-old housewife added: “I don’t think Spain or the UK for that matter, could possibly survive another financial crisis.

Things can’t get any worse, can they?”

Norman Clarkson, retired, who lives in Arboleas (Almeria), thought military adventures abroad were costing the US more. He said: “The wars in Afghanistan and before that Iraq cost the US billions.

They should pull all the troops out. Spain’s problems are caused more by the banks and the construction industry right here rather than outside influences.”

Dave Lavelle, who is semi-retired and lives in Partaloa (Almeria), sees more trouble on the way. “Spain will take another hit. The country will survive because it is in the EU. It means more pain for the Spanish people, although many people in my area already live a simple existence,” he said.

10 years. It originally began in a smaller 70-square-metre warehouse and now occupies two 650-square-metre factories in Fuengirola.

R-DMC’S prides itself on being a family-run business, the breakdown of the company name was born from the initials of family members: Roger Emerson, his son-in-law Dan Jones, his granddaughter Molly Jones, daughter Carly Jones and wife Sandra Emerson.

Roger explains the level of pride felt by the family in what they do. He says: “Customer service is paramount. The family takes great pride in every aspect of the business. With R-DMC’S there are no gimmicks, we just provide an honest price and good service and can do a survey of the work you’d like doing at your home then and there. When a customer chooses R-DMC’S, they are dealing with a family member nothing is

outsourced, so customers can rest assured that they are always dealing with the same people.”

The business began when the family came to Spain and saw a niche in the market for an expatriate, friendly doubleglazing company. This was due to many Spanish firms only offering a lengthy process for double glazing known as a ‘two pack system’, which can take up to 48 hours to supply. Whereas R-DMC’S opt to use a ‘hot melt’ system, which means they can supply a double-glazed unit within just 30 minutes!

R-DMC’S have gone from strength to strength in the last 10 years and have grown to become leading experts in their fields of both the glass and stainless steel industries.

Support from Canada CANADIAN Member of Parliament Russel Hiebert has visited Gibraltar.

The Canadian MP’s interest in Gibraltar came about after meeting the Minister for Equality, Social Services and the Elderly, Samantha Sacramento, at a CPA conference where the situation regarding the frontier was discussed.

“I wanted to see the situation at the border firsthand and better understand how Gibraltar is currently being impacted by the actions of the Spanish Government.

“While disagreements between neighbours are bound to occur from time to time, it is disappointing that the Spanish Government has chosen to stifle border traffic rather than seek a diplomatic resolution to their current concerns.”

Born in 1970, Maiju Tirri, is a contemporary artist from Finland, who lives and works in Southern Spain. She paints abstractions of the experiences and feelings she absorbs in life.

The principal theme in her art is impressions of scenes from walks and journeys, but also stories of feelings that go through her mind. The

Finnish artist Maiju Tirri to show her work. wildness, mercilessness and, on the other hand,

harmony of nature meet human senses in Tirri’s works.

Maiju Tirri has had various solo and group exhibitions around Europe, including solo exhibitions in London, in St Paul de Vence, France; and various other solo exhibitions in Finland.

She has participated in group exhibitions in Italy, Monaco, the UK, Spain and Finland.

Improving bus access for the disabled THE Gibraltar Bus Company has embarked on a project to improve user-friendliness for wheelchair users.

The government plans to construct ramps at bus stops which currently pose difficulty for people with a physical disability.

The measures will be implemented by the Ministry for Public Transport in

several phases and works have already been finalised at Market Place, where, in addition to the construction of the ramps, street-lamps and litter bins at the bus terminal have been relocated to remove obstacles for wheelchair users.

The plan was taken up after representations from the local Disability Society.

A play on constitutional words THE position of the Gibraltar Government in relation to the 2006 Constitution agreement remains unchanged.

The Government does not believe that the 2006 Constitution represents the maximum level of self-government short of independence. They say it

represents the maximum level that could be extracted from the UK in the constitutional negotiations which took place at that time.

It believes there are further steps between the present Constitution and independence.

The chief minister made the

point in Washington, which had been made several times in the past, in the context of the requirements of the UN for the removal of Gibraltar from the UN list of colonies.

The 2006 Constitution did not alter the international legal status of Gibraltar, and therefore it could

not have led to decolonisation.

Gibraltar simply became a more modern colony after 2006.

The position of the GSD has always been that the 2006 Constitution represented ‘de facto’ decolonisation. There is no such thing in international law, according to the Government.

Starring Michael Douglas, Matt Damon, Rob Lowe and Dan Aykroyd. Directed by Steven Soderbergh. Runtime 118 minutes.

Rated 15.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is an important week for both your physical health and your mental well-being. Because of things beyond your control, you may have let your diet or exercise slip. Having sorted out any problems that sidetracked you, there is a need to be particularly strong.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) This is a week to let yourself be heard. Be it writing letters, sending emails, making phone calls or making conversation, you must express yourself. Being honest and outspoken need not mean upsetting people. Think of the way that a child gets its point over.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Having problems with that new computer? Fallen foul of the new mobile phone? That wouldnʼt be surprising this week. As you are prone to mistakes and misunderstandings, try not to tackle anything vital. Be sure to get plenty of sleep and fresh air.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) You are in for a bit of a bumpy ride this week. Some things will go well but other outcomes can be quirky. People change their minds, technology doesn't work, phone calls don't come. Be assured, however, that if you keep your sense of the absurd it could all be quite amusing.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) When it comes to throwing wobblers, please don't. It is so important this week to stay cool and unruffled. Change nothing that you can avoid changing. Even having discussions about change can set your nerves jangling.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) This month, there is much to be celebrated. So much has happened in the latter part of

H ex a g r a m

When young stranger Scott Thorson walks into the dressing room of stage and television star Liberace, the two embark on a secretive five-year love affair. To the outside world Scott is an employee, at most a friend, but behind closed doors his life with Liberace is an intense rollercoaster of hedonistic fun, flamboyance and excess.

know how best to approach you in this regard.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) The prospect of travel sets you thinking. Have you been spending too much time considering others? Should you take steps now to get time alone then these plans cannot be changed. This will save any discussions as to how or when.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) With the best will in the world it is only possible to spend money once. We are all guilty of trying to get over this truth, but it never works. Have patience when looking to improve your possessions.

If it is not possible to find a fresh approach then seek the opinions of others. You do not need experience of a situation to be able to come up with a useful idea.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Getting together with others to entertain is sure to be successful after the 26th. Before that there may be some irritations, particularly with people who refuse to be positive and make decisions.

Lymphoedema Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com

www.euroweeklynews.com

LYMPHOEDEMA is the name given to the swelling that develops in the arms and/or legs following a problem with, or trauma to, the lymphatic system.

It can be very debilitating and affects about 100,000 people in the UK, although it is often undiagnosed.

Lymphatic obstruction or lymphoedema is a condition in which excess lymph (fluid) collects in tissues causing oedema (swelling). This condition commonly affects one arm or leg but in some cases both may be affected.

It is often as a result of surgically removing the lymph nodes in either the axilla (armpit) or groin. These nodes may have been damaged by surgery, radiotherapy or the invasion of cancer cells. Lymphoedema can also be caused by a tumour which presses against the lymphatic vessels.

If the lymphatic system is damaged, the body will usually develop other routes for the lymph to drain through but if not, swelling will develop. If new lymph networks are formed, the swelling should clear but

if this swelling is there for a long time, damage may be done to the tissues.

It should be remembered that lymphoedema can affect individuals for anything from a few weeks to a number of years after surgery.

The lymphatic system is a network of drainage channels and nodes covering almost all of the body.

Imagine the lymphatic system is congested or blocked and waste is not being removed, this causes a build-up of pressure pushing the waste into tissues, skin and joints. This swelling as well as damaging tissues, will stress the liver.

A pioneer in lymph therapy, Doctor de Monfort designed specialised equipment to WASTE generate a gentle energy field to help separate DISPOSAL: obstructions and improve Lymphatic lymphatic flow by system. stimulating a muscle action called peristalsis which enables the body to clear the blockage. This equipment also stimulates the circulation, improving the oxygen and nutrition to the tissues at the same time as carrying pills as they can often the waste to the liver and kidneys for the body to dispose of through urine. trigger lymphoedema!

Ostepathy in pregnancy PREGNANCY is a very important period in a couple’s life. The mother-to-be sees her life changing as the baby grows in her uterus. These are very important changes at a tissue and physiological level. Due to hormonal changes the tissues in the mother’s body become more flexible (muscles, ligaments...) as the body adapts to the growth of the uterus and in preparation for the baby passing through the pelvis during birth in a natural way.

Some factors can alter this natural process and create tensions during birth and sometimes during the pregnancy itself. For example, if a woman has had a significant trauma (at knee level) that could modify her balance and alter the natural equilibrium which exists in the different muscles that form the pelvis due to the compensations created for posture. Thus the natural mechanism for pelvic opening could be compromised and create complications during

PREGNANCY: A special time for couples.

birth such as extended labour, baby’s skull compression, need for forceps or vacuum. In this case the osteopath helps to reestablish the symmetry of the pelvis to reduce complications in childbirth.

Changes in Posture During pregnancy the mother’s body changes as a result of the increasing forward weight of the

developing baby. This weight produces tension in back muscles as it increases.

Nervous System Both parents’ nervous systems are sometimes affected by the stress derived from the arrival of a new baby, especially if it is the first.

Caesarean birth or episiotomy If a Caesarean Section or an episiotomy is performed, the procedure can affect many muscles, abdominal and perineum and these areas will lose elasticity.

These mechanical changes will affect the back and the pelvis due to the adaptations incurred.

In all these cases the osteopath can be of great help in liberating the tension.

Ask the Optician - How to end avoidable blindness

By Amrik Sappal, Store Director from Specsavers Opticas Fuengirola OCTOBER 10 was World Sight Day 2013, which marked the launch of a new WHO Action Plan on the prevention of avoidable blindness and visual impairment. Their theme this year is Universal Eye Health, urging people around the world to get their eyes tested and support the WHO Action Plan to end avoidable blindness by 2020.

To highlight this important campaign we wanted to answer your

EYE TEST: Support the WHO Action Plan. questions on conditions which can lead to blindness.

Q. What is the most common cause of avoidable blindness?

BREAST CANCER: Early detection is crucial.

Do it for you HC MARBELLA International Hospital has launched a campaign to raise awareness on the importance of early detection in breast cancer-related cases.

Under the name of Hazlo por ti (Do it for You), the initiative aims at bringing mammogram tests closer to women.

For this reason, the hospital’s mammography service will be free until October 19 for patients who request it and who fit the appropriate medical profile.

The Spanish National Cancer Institute recommends women aged 40 and over to undergo a mammography screening every year to prevent cancer.

Only women with genetic

predisposition to cancer or who have had a member of their family with the disease are recommended to get tested earlier.

Gynaecology chief at HC Marbella International Hospital, Angela Escobar, said: “A mammogram test increases recovery by 90 per cent anad prevents 30 per cent of the patients undergoing chemotherapy.”

This is a safe test in which a picture of the breast is taken using low-energy X-rays.

During the test, radiologists analyse the images for any abnormal findings otherwise undetectable.

It only takes 10 to 20 minutes and the results are given 48 hours later.

A. Cataracts are responsible for almost 50% of all blindness. It is common around the world, but thankfully in developed countries it can be easily treated with surgery. The WHO Action Plan hopes to give more people access to this sight-saving surgery.

Q. What other ocular conditions can lead to blindness if not treated?

A. Glaucoma is known as the silent destroyer of sight and is one of the world’s leading causes of blindness, but it can be easily identified with an eye test and treated with drops if caught early. Diabetes

can produce diabetic retinopathy, which can permanently impair vision.

Not all diabetes leads to vision loss, but regular screening is important.

Q. How can I get involved in World Sight Day 2013?

A. Visit the website www.iapb.org/wsd13, download their information pack and spread the word.

Then head to your nearest optician and get your eyes tested, being sure that the test includes a comprehensive health check.

At Specsavers you can have a thorough, professional eye test, free.

What’s more, our eye tests include digital retinal photography as standard.

This is an important health check carried out by a fully qualified optician and can detect conditions such as glaucoma, heart disease and diabetes.

Unique product is key to Kristel’s success K

RISTEL Schoeman-Daneel came to Spain from Holland 13 years ago and after years working in the services sector, she is now celebrating her first year in business of WoodFactory.

She loves her work and has never regretted the choice she made to start up this venture.

Married with four children, Kristel started a business venture in Spain, recycling wood.

WoodFactory is the first producer of made to measure wooden furniture of recycled wood in southern Spain.

Although popular in northern European countries like the UK and her native Holland it was something new to Spain and in the middle of the recession Kristel

launched her business in September 2012. After a challenging year, Kristel now has five carpenters working for her and the business is going from strength to strength.

Kristel will help you with your furniture designs whether it is for interior or exterior use, and also help with the upholstery.

Everything is made from recycled wood in her own workshop.

She even has some interesting furniture that has been made from Indian boats that take advantage of the beautiful colours on them. WoodFactory make interior and exterior furniture such as lounge sofas, lounge sets, sunbeds and corner sofas, exterior kitchens, tables, chairs,

beds, cabinets and complete bedrooms for children.

Furniture is tailor-made to the clients’ own specifications and delivered from their factory situated on the Poligono San Pedro, Calle Budapest, 16, San Pedro de Alcantara.

Kristel’s customers are very important to her and she has had great success in her first year.

With many well known bars and restaurants in the area using her designs, Kristel has certainly made her mark in this field.

Her factory almost sold out in the first months of opening and she was grateful to the team she had taken on that they could keep up with demand.

WoodFactory furniture is for

The 500m2 showroom is filled with their own wooden design furniture for indoors and

outdoors. They also have various decorative items imported from the Netherlands.

The showroom is open Monday to Friday 10am – 4pm and on Saturday from 11am to 2pm. Tel: 620 230 376 Email: info@woodfactory.es.

Autumn gardens are now great to live in

by Dick Handscombe GARDENS have brightened up after the rains.

No matter how carefully people water during the summer it’s amazing what a few showers of real

penetrating rain does to a garden.

As a result gardens are great places to wander

round, do essential maintenance in, plant up bulbs, shrubs and trees, plant up autumn/over

wintering vegetables and entertain one’s friends.

Paella entertaining time and book of the month There can be major confusion about what comprises a genuine Valencian paella and this needs correcting. This is especially important as the dish is one of the major international emblems of Spain and most of the ingredients can be grown ecologically in everyone’s gardens.

Earlier this year as the confusion exists I compiled the book ‘Your personal guide to making Authentic Valencian Paellas’ which is now being translated to Spanish at the request of local Spaniards.

Planting vegetables this month During the next few weeks a wide variety of vegetable plantlets can be planted up in a veggie plot, raised beds, growing tables or builders’ buckets.

After useful autumn rains we are planting/sowing beetroots, broad beans, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, cauliflowers, dandelions, parsnips, peas, red cabbages, celery, garlic, leeks, lettuces, onions, spinach, radishes and rocket. © Dick Handscombe www.gardenspain.com October 2013.

OT itchy feet? You’re not alone.

With seasonal flight bargains to Vancouver or Toronto, many Globelink clients will soon be off visiting family or exploring Canada’s great outdoors in the autumn.

Right now, South Africa’s Cape coast is bursting into bloom, while over in Sydney, Perth and Auckland, it will soon be time to throw a few prawns on the barbie. No wonder so many mature Britons choose to go walkabout at this time of year!

On the whole, travellers over 50 tend to be smarter when it comes to taking out travel insurance. As a seasoned traveller, you understand the

value of having travel cover. You know some of the things that can go wrong on holiday from experience (you’ve probably missed the flight, and got the t-shirt...). Yet, some of you will still find yourselves facing holiday disasters this winter, as a result of skimping on travel insurance - or simply failing to check what a policy does and doesn’t cover you for.

When it comes to travel insurance, there’s no such thing as a one-sizefits-all solution. At Globelink, we only specialise in travel insurance; that’s why we offer options designed to cover different kinds of travellers, up to the age of 84. For bigger holidays the kind that involve expensive flights, transfers, accommodation or tours you need cover you can count on if an airline goes bust or your trip starts to unravel.

At Globelink, we also offer top-up insurance for activities you won’t necessarily find covered elsewhere... good to know, if you’re the sort of

Travel insurance is never just a lifestyle choice: it’s a must. That’s even more true if you’re in your 50s or over. Like it or not, as we get older, we’re often less resilient to long-haul flights and other travel stress. Minor ailments that are easily thrown off at home can easily turn into major health headaches when travelling. Even people who’ve ‘never had a day’s illness’ can be caught out once in a while.

Decent travel insurance shields you from the sort of holiday disasters we all read about in the newspapers, the things that happen to ‘someone else’ like, for instance, having to pay for

emergency medical treatment when you’re halfway around the world.

Taking out cover is a small price to pay for peace of mind - especially if that ‘someone else’ turns out to be you.

Enjoy your travels! Globelink Travel Insurance provides affordable single trip and annual multi-trip travel insurance for people aged up to 84 who live in EU countries.

ICHAEL WINNER was a friend of mine so I am certain he will not mind me stealing his wonderful catch - phrase ‘Calm down, dear boy, calm down’ when dealing with a greedy eater.

I am now writing about my Boy Boy (BB). For those that do not know, he is a Rottweiler who weighs in at 75 kilos, well trained and has never left my side since he was eight weeks old.

Readers may remember how BB was rapidly diagnosed with bloat whilst staying at a kennels, and only the speed of response from the staff to get him to a vet saved his life.

I now confess that BB has always been a pain in the neck eater. I bet a lot of you know what I mean!

BB always eats slowly and dislikes dried food. I am compelled to add a little tuna or sardine and then I have to talk to him like a baby to get him to eat it.

Now back home after his ordeal, he scoffs his food so quickly without any sardine or tuna added.

But rather than being delighted, I am very concerned, knowing that when a dog eats too fast

he swallows too much air, which can cause distension of the stomach and predisposing it to twist over on itself.

Stomach torsion (bloat) which is not uncommon, can occur a second time if the stomach has not been sewn to the side so that it cannot turn over.

Fortunately BB’s stomach is now sewn to the side, but there are other problems associated with fast eating.

Next week I will take another look at the consequences of, and tips to prevent, dogs bolting their food.

Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepe online.net (93321) 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. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875. Visit our website www.sos-animals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way. (93317)

40 years of Porsche 911 Turbo

TO coincide with the 40th anniversary of the 911 Turbo, Porsche has presented the open-top versions of the new generation 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S. Making their worldwide debut at the Auto Show in Los Angeles in November, the two new models will double Porsche’s 911 series to four versions.

The 911 Turbo Cabriolet and 911 Turbo S Cabriolet deliver the same performance and efficiency offered by the 911 Coupe model unveiled a few months ago.

www.euroweeklynew.com

OPEN-TOP: 911 Turbo Cabriolet and Turbo S Cabriolet.

The turbocharged 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine delivers 520 bhp (383 kW) in the open-top 911 Turbo and 560 bhp (412 kW) in the S model.

The cars accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 3.5 and 3.2 seconds respectively, reaching a top speed of up to 318 km/h.

Both new models comply with the New European

Driving Cycle, offering figures of 9.9 l/100 km (equivalent to 231 g/km CO2).

The open-top 911 Turbo models come with PDK dualclutch transmission as standard, as well as the new PTM all-wheel drive and rear-axle steering.

The new models will be available from December, with prices that range from €200,211 to €238,492.

Warriors hit ground running!

THE Bahia Marbella pitch hosted a truly ground-roots match on Saturday.

The newly-named senior team, Marbella Warriors, took on Rugby del Estrecho from Guadiaro, a visiting side with a pedigree for allout rugby.

The supporters, growing in numbers weekly, were treated to a match of both technical and physical ability as Marbella committed fully to a hard-fought match win.

ALL-OUT ACTION: Marbella Warriors v Rugby del Estrecho.

It didn’t take long for the home

team to settle, and they scored

Costa Gaels and GAA are back HOT on the heels of a sensational Gaelic football season that’s just ended back in Ireland, a sunnier, smaller, and potentially just-assensational season is about to kick-off in Southern Spain.

Marbella’s Costa Gaels are back - bigger, bolder, fitter, stronger and faster - and will be hosting an inaugural Andalucian tournament to launch this year’s Gaelic football league in Spain.

The Costa Gaels will be joined once again by teams from Sevilla and Gibraltar for the Southern

League, but this year may see the introduction of two new fledgling GAA teams from Cordoba and Granada.

While it’s still early days for these developing clubs, a big welcome is extended to both teams and it’s hoped that they can make it to next week’s Marbella tournament.

An expanded league with more teams would give a great boost to the game in Spain, and extend the number of teams in the country to 17.

Marbella Rugby Club will host the Irish football tournament on Saturday, with games starting at 2pm and continuing until around 6pm. There’ll be a BBQ available during the games and afterwards and the clubhouse bar will be open all day long to cater for the thirst requirements of friends, families, spectators and players alike. All are welcome and it promises to be a great day out.

Call Justin on 617 325 727 or visit www.costagaels.com for more info on training and fixtures.

fairly early in the first half. After a number of changes to prove new players, the second half saw some brilliant team play and commitment from both teams who were evenly matched in speed and ability.

The home team ran out winners after some great defensive play, followed by textbook counter attacking to win the game 19-12.

Marbella coach Allan Davies was full of praise for his side who delivered a spirited performance.

Next programmed game, first league match against Almeria at Bahia Marbella is on Sunday at 1pm.

On Saturday, the U16s hosted a pre-season friendly match against rivals Cajasol Ciencias from Sevilla.

The match was played in three parts, each one over 25 minutes.

This way both sides could incorporate their whole squad and use the breaks to communicate with their teams.

Marbella started slowly and went into the first break with an even 7-7 on the scoreboard. As they gathered momentum, however, they got into their stride and finally came out with a 46-7 win.
