Red carpet rolled out for Russia’s big spenders RUSSIAN tourists spend more on the Costa del Sol than anywhere else in Spain apart from Barcelona, a report has revealed. The report by Global Blue consulting group for 2014 found that Puerto Banus was second on the list of places in the country where Russian tourists spent the most cash, beaten only by the Paseo de Gracia in Barcelona and doubling the amount spent in the Salamanca district of Madrid. Costa del Sol Tourism leader Elias Bendodo said it was essential to continue promoting the coast in the Russian market due to its high spending and future growth potential. “Malaga-Costa del Sol airport registered 60,631 visitors from Russia in 2014, a 15.6 per cent increase compared to the previous year.
“Therefore, we need to continue to encourage visitors from the country, as they are well-educated and interested in culture, history and heritage,” Bendodo explained. In a bid to continue encouraging Russian tourists, the Costa del Sol
tourist board invited 16 travel agents from Moscow on a tour of the area, which included visits to Marbella Old Town, Puerto Banus and Ronda, where the agents were taken to see a traditional flamenco show and visited the Ascari racing circuit.

CAMINITO DEL REY: Due to open on March 28.
Local businesses getting prepared
ALORA and Ardales are preparing for March 28, a date marked in red on calendars at local businesses thanks to the reopening of the Caminito del Rey. A great number of visits to the area are in the pipeline if the 32,000 people that have booked to walk the emblematic Caminito (King’s Walkway) trail are anything
to go by, and prospective investors are already thinking up ways to cash in on the attraction while nearby catering and accommodation establishments rub their hands together in anticipation. La Garganta Hotel owner Fernando Garcia explained that 20 bookings were made the day the Caminito’s booking
website was launched and they have had an average of four bookings per day ever since. “That may be nothing for an establishment on the Costa del Sol, but it’s a lot for us,” Garcia said, explaining that he will have to double the hotel’s members of staff to cover the bookings between March 28 and April 5.

Blaze blame rifle range closed THE Los Montes range where a fire broke out last summer that saw 200 hectares of the Montes de Malaga area affected will be permanently closed. The Junta de Andalucia regional government’s Environmental council has rejected appeals from the Shooting Federation against the removal of the range’s licence and de-
clared the administrative case closed. The Environmental board’s decision is based on the fact that the licence was cancelled due to the failure to meet conditions of a contract signed on April 1, 2011, which ordered the federation to create 15 metre firebreaks around the range. The lack of these breaks, piles
of old tyres and rubbish and scrub were blamed by the Forest Fire Investigation Brigade for the force of the fire last summer. Although the cancellation of the contract has come eight years before it was due to run out, the Junta insisted that it is valid as the fire-protection conditions had not been met.

A home win PASSION OF CHRIST: Believed to be the oldest religious play in Europe.
Getting passionate about Christ at Lent
PEOPLE in Cervera in Lleida, Cataluña, take to the stage once a year at Lent to put on what is believed to be the oldest religious play in Europe. The play, a six-hour-long stunning representation of the Passion of Christ, is believed to have started in 1481 as notes found in the regional archives detail payment for building a stage for the play in that year. At the end of the 15th century it was a custom for religious representations of the story of Christ to be put on inside Cervera’s Santa Maria church, and notes have also been found from rehearsals for the play in 1534 when almost all the parts were played by priests. The Council of Trent (1545-1563), one of the Roman Catholic Church’s most important ecumenical councils, banned all non-liturgy events from churches, forcing the traditional plays to move out-

side to the Plaza de la Sebolleria square next door. Citizens continued with their traditional representations for many years, eventually moving inside theatres, until the start of the Spanish Civil War brought performances to an end. In 1940, the people of Cervera decided to recover the tradition and staged a modernised version of the Passion at the Teatro Principal for Lent. On March 12, 1967, the performances moved to the Gran Teatro de la Pasion de Cervera, with space for 2,200 spectators. Tourism Minister of Spain Manuel Fraga declared the performances of public interest in 1969, and the plays, which have been enhanced with modern sound and lighting effects, stage extensions and costumes copying traditional apparel, have been a constant success ever since with shows held every Sunday during Lent.

Dog deaths enquiry THE Public Prosecutor is calling for a four-year jail sentence for a Torremolinos animal refuge leader who allegedly sent almost 2,200 dogs to a slow and painful death. The woman, Carmen MA, is guilty of criminal animal abuse and for using incorrect methods and insufficient amounts of euthanasia products to put dogs down over a two-year period, the prosecutor claimed. She was not qualified to use the drugs. The initial report presented to the court stated that the animals were destroyed for no good reason apart from a lack of space in the refuge, and with no veterinary control in order to save money. Because dosages of euthanising drugs were too low many of the animals suffered a slow and lingering death.

Improvements for busy bus service PUBLIC buses in Marbella are to be renewed, information on waiting times made available via a mobile app, and 95 per cent discounts provided for the unemployed. The service is used by 2.2 million passengers per year, and one of the
main complaints the current company has is that it runs solely on income from ticket sales. The council has agreed to change this and provide €1.8 million per year to the service, the next 10-year contract for which is about to be put
out to tender. But the council will be demanding a number of improvements and conditions in exchange. The company which takes on the service will not be allowed to increase ticket prices or remove existing routes, and must give 20 per cent discounts to people under 26 and large families, and up to 95 per cent for long-term jobless people. Bus cards, monthly passes and discounts for pensioners and disabled people must also be maintained.

Keeping a safe driving distance
HOW much distance should be kept between the car in front? Drivers need to be prepared for the car in front of them to stop, slow down or perform any manoeuvre. The condition of the road and the speed play a factor. Under normal driving conditions, a common method is to use the three-second rule to determine an adequate following distance. If the road is wet, icy, with bends or visibility is reduced, then the following distance needs to be increased allowing you and the car in front more room to stop. At a speed of 30 mph a vehicle needs 25 metres to stop safely. And at 68 mph, that distance increases to 103 metres or the equivalent of a football pitch. Safe driving distance even in traffic Even in built up traffic it’s good driving to leave a space between you and the vehicle in front. If the car in front breaks
down, you need enough space to mirror, signal and manoeuvre around it safely. If you get bumped from behind, leaving a gap may save your vehicle from colliding with the one in front. Keeping right unless overtaking Vehicles should keep right on roads with two lanes or more, unless overtaking. In built up areas, with two or more lanes, drivers should take the lane which best serves their destination. This lane should not be changed unless overtaking, stopping, unloading or turning off. In all instances, drivers should not block or hinder the normal flow of traffic from behind. Overtaking Overtaking is a potentially hazardous manoeuvre and must never be done on a bend, in limited visibility, on pedestrian crossings, on approaches to crossroads or intersections, or in tunnels. When overtaking a cyclist, drivers must
leave a minimum gap of 1.5 metres between their vehicle and the cyclist, at all times. Overtaking on the right hand side is prohibited in Spain. Negotiating roundabouts On approaching a roundabout, take notice of all the information available such as traffic signs, traffic lights and lane markings, which can direct you to the correct lane depending on your exit. As a general rule, it is usually safest to keep to the right lane until you need to exit the roundabout. Signal before the exit you intend to take and use your mirrors to ensure there is no one behind who will be inconvenienced by your turning off. We hope the information provided in this article is of interest. If you would like to contact Línea Directa please call 902 123 309. More information on Línea Directa online at www.lineadirecta.com.

The alleged murder took place at the family home on January 17, 2014. Malaga’s Public Prosecutor’s Office claimed that the accused, whose relationship with his son had been severely affected by the son’s drug habit, made the most of the fact that they were alone to attack his victim from behind with a sledge-hammer. The son, the prosecutor continued, was unable to defend himself from the surprise attack and died shortly afterwards from repeated hammer-blows to his head. The alleged attacker then reportedly cleaned up the blood and moved his son’s body to his bedroom before leaving the house, returning later to calmly watch television with the rest of the family. Yet when policemen arrived a few hours later to enquire as to the whereabouts of the deceased, who was under surveillance, the father admitted to the attack.

Student fears guide dog was poisoned A YOUNG, blind psychology student believes somebody has poisoned her critically-ill guide dog. Lourdes Fernandez, who has been blind almost since birth, relied heavily on her black Labrador Lily to get around Malaga City. She says that she feels lost since her guide dog was taken into a veterinary hospital at the end of February with severe kidney failure. Police have asked for reports from the vet and intend to start an investigation as, apart from Lily, whom the family suspect was poisoned, two more dogs in the neighbourhood have been taken ill and another has died. The family began to suspect that the dog had been poisoned after finding remains of dry dog-
food and chocolate scattered nearby. The 28-year-old explained that she spent years on a waiting list for her guide dog as they are scarce in Spain, and that she finally got Lily, worth approximately €42,500, from the US thanks to the Lions Club charity. Since Lily became seriously ill, Lourdes has almost become a recluse because she says she doesn’t feel safe going out without her ‘eyes’. She has to rely on a stick and her family to get to classes at the University of Malaga. Now Lily, who has lost 10 kilos in weight as she can hardly eat, is fighting for her life and will never be able to work again, while police begin to hunt for the culprits.

Samantha Bayley tells us: “All the team at AFESOL has either suffered from mental health problems themselves or have experience of caring for someone. They gave us an insight into the valuable work they do, principally as a Day Care centre for those suffering with mental health problems, and crucially as a support

Health care professionals count ongoing support from families as one of the biggest positive factors in
sustained recovery. At the moment the daycare part of their work is crammed into a very small space - a much larger area has been set aside which will include a kitchen, shower/toilet facilities and games area etc but remains unfinished. They estimate they need 24,000€ to complete it and so we are putting our heads together as to how we can help them raise it.” In the immediate future, April 2015 will see Sam running her first London Marathon in aid of the Mental Health Foundation.

Euro Weekly News readers will remember that Sheena was chosen by Spectrum FM to sing their Mojacar song to promote the Costa Almeria. Sheena was paired with Holly Barry for their stage battle, and Will.i.am chose Aretha Franklin’s Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves for the two girls to sing. Sheena was concerned about the song choice. Speaking to Will.i.am, Sheena’s mentor for the competition, ahead of the battle, she said: “It takes away the good parts of my voice.” Will.i.am responded harshly: “Sink or swim. It’s a battle. You’re not supposed to be comfortable in a battle.” But when the two girls took to the stage, Sheena forgot her misgivings and belted out the classic soul number with gusto and passion.
SHEENA: Through to next round. Rita Ora loved the performance and added: “There’s nothing better than seeing two females actually supporting each other.” It was Will’s decision that mattered though and he kept the girls on tenterhooks before he enthused: “Sheena - tonight you shined,” and put her through to the next round.

Lynx return to Madrid region AFTER nearly 40 years and their near extinction, the world’s rarest cat, the Iberian Lynx has been spotted in the Madrid region. Last November saw the culmination of much hard work from the WWF when eight wild Lynx were reintroduced to the wild in the Toledo Hills, including a male called Kentaro. The long running project to ensure the survival of these most threatened of the Big Cats saw GPS tracking systems mounted to their collars to enable constant monitoring. So when one was spotted just 50 kilometres south of the capital, they knew straight away that it was Kentaro.
R a m ó n Pérez de Ayala, head of the WWF Life+Iberlince project, tells us that he was a little surprised to find Kentaro over 100 kilometres away from the release site, because normally Lynx will not roam far from their territory. However, the fact that he
has managed to safely cross roads and bridges on his ‘walkabout’ shows he has a good survival instinct. The aim of the project is to establish some five reproductive females in the Toledo ranges with the goal of creating a population of between 30 and 40 Lynx by 2017. Hopefully the WWF will be able to convince regional government to help protect lynxes under regional and national environmental legislation. As it would appear, at the moment none of the occupied areas have any special measures in place.

business & legal Ortega’s fortune drops ZARA boss Amancio Ortega slipped to fourth place on the 2015 Forbes Rich List. For the second year running Microsoft’s Bill Gates, estimated to be worth $79.2 billion (€71.64 billion), headed the list. Mexican magnate Carlos Slim with $77.1 billion (€69.74 billion) came next, followed by US
investor Warren Buffett’s fortune of $72.7 billion (€65.76 billion) The Inditex chief’s $64.5 billion (€58.34 billion) wealth grew last year by ‘only’ $500 million although Forbes pointed out that this was largely caused by depreciation of the euro.
Department store has to tell THE taxman is on the tail of big spenders at El Corte Ingles. In 2008 the National Office of Fraud Investigation (Onif) attached to the tax authority, Hacienda, requested details of clients who racked up €30,000 a year or more on El Corte Ingles cards. The department store was given a month to supply the names and addresses of these customers as well as their card numbers and bank details. Failing to comply would be considered an offence, Onif warned. The department store objected and appealed to the High Court, which in 2012 sided with Hacienda.
El Corte Ingles again appealed, this time to the Supreme Court which has once more taken the tax authority’s part. The Supreme Court took the same line that it applied to 4B credit cards by ruling that a duty exists to provide information and collaboration whenever required by Hacienda. There have been at least 10 similar rulings in recent years, obliging banks and credit card companies to supply information even when users are not under investigation. This has included itemised records of users’ spending and not merely a final balance figure.
Forbes lists 21 Spaniards who boast a combined wealth of $116.3 billion (€105.20 billion). Five others - Francisco Jose Riberas Mera, Juan Maria Riberas Mera, Leopoldo del Pino, Isidoro Alvarez, Jose Maria Aristain and Enrique Bañuelos - lost their places this year.

Big UK contract for Ferrovial FERROVIAL secured a €1 billion contract to construct part of the 25kilometre Thames Tideway tunnel. Together with Laing O’Rourke, Ferrovial will build the middle section of the €5.77 billion tunnel beneath central London. The BAM and Balfour consortium was allocated the western section of the tunnel, while a consortium headed by French company Vinci, will
build the eastern zone. The new sewer will tackle overflows from the capital’s existing 19th century system that spills millions of tons of sewage into the river each year. The contract due to be signed this summer underlines Ferrovial’s presence in the UK, currently the construction, services and concessionary group’s principal market.

Copywriting and translations PROFESSIONAL writing services are not something many make use of despite their importance to business. Proven, a single spelling mistake on a website’s home page will reduce sales by 50 per cent. It suggests professional sloppiness and possible fraud. Although there is a pressing need for both translators and copywriters in Mediterranean Spain, there is little demand for either of these services. I may be wrong but I put this down to businesses here being more laid back than their northern European counterparts. There is perhaps a shortage of hard-nosed business professionals. Translating is of course the simple

conversion of say English to Spanish or Russian. The translation will be a faithful copy of the original content. Like for like is rarely good. Russians who translate into English are fine at grammar but the results fail to communicate in a
way we are comfortable with. It is wooden and written in bureaucracyspeak. Russian businesses tend to favour copywriters whose first language is English. Copywriting is a creative trade in which there is a need for word empathy. The copywriter takes uninspiring content and ‘sexes it up’; you sell the steak, the copywriter sells the sizzle. Fees charged for either services can be modest or challenging. Like much else in life you get what you pay for. Many translators are doing it ‘on the side’. They have only their time to consider. These translators are inappropriate for such as legal and official docu-
ments that require a notary’s stamp. The copywriter is rarely paid his true worth. He or she takes your product on its blank sheet of paper and creatively spins a web of enticement to attract interest and buyers. Their fees are often high. So they should be. You see an advert; he sees many hours of inspired concentration. Their job is to create masterpieces out of a basic sales pitch. The true business professional does not count the cost of the investment as he expects returns to be far higher. A good copywriter can quadruple sales. You cannot put a price on that.

Are you the grumpy boots at work? Loose change RIGHT ATTITUDE: Make your work a happy place.
A look at finance for females
Jane Plunkett jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com
OUR jobs may fall under the word ‘work,’ but that doesn’t mean that we have to be miserable while doing them! Just today at the Health Centre I noticed that the receptionists that take the appointments always have long sour faces on them. Granted, their jobs are detailed and somewhat tedious at times, but being gloomy while working isn’t helping matters! I am not asking that they jump around and sing like they are in a Broadway musical, but cracking a smile now and then wouldn’t hurt. Find the right attitude: Just because someone pays
you to do something does not mean you can’t enjoy it or at least use the experience to help you get a job that you will enjoy. Given that most of us spend more waking time working than we do anything else,
putting in some effort to make our work gratifying for us too will have lasting implications, both in and out of the office. A bad attitude breeds a bad working environment, so being more cheerful can only make work a more pleasant place to
spend time. Acknowledge stress: If work for you is a pain, then it’s a good idea to try and figure out what it is that’s causing tension in your job. Maybe you can change the way you operate to ease the
Does he need to file a Tax Return? Q. Do I still need to do a yearly tax return? I have lived here for 11 years and always filed a Spanish income tax return. Each year I have received a refund because my income is modest and the bank had withheld Spanish tax on the interest payments they made to me on my capital. I own half a property in Madrid with my former partner. The Spanish rates, IBI, are paid every year, and there is a mortgage on the property of €90,000. It is my resident prop-
You and the Law in Spain By David Searl
A. Yes, you need to declare for Spanish income tax. There really is no set figure below which you do not need to declare. It is in your own best interest to declare each year. Keep in mind that declaring for tax and paying tax are two different things. First, as you say, after you apply your exemptions from Spanish income tax, including your deduction for being over 65, you will not owe any tax, so the Tax Agency will return to you any amounts
erty, which I have owned since 2011. I am an official resident and a pensioner, 67 years old. My English old age pension is basic, around €10,000 per year, and I have savings of about €25,000 in the bank at a ridiculously low rate of interest. I am not married. So, do I still need to make a return? If not, do I need to tell the tax office that I no longer need to send in a return? Can you advise? B.P. (Madrid) withheld by the bank. Even if this is now a very small amount. You may also have a reduction for your mortgage payments. This reduction was cancelled in 2013, but those who obtained their mortgages earlier are still entitled to it. Secondly, if you later wish to sell your Madrid property, you will find you can escape Spanish capital gains tax entirely on any profit you make. This is because you are over 65, the property has been your primary residence for three years, and you are a tax resident of Spain. You can obtain a certificate from the Tax Agency that you are tax resident even if you do not declare, but it is better to present three years of tax declarations.

stress. But, if this is not possible, then just acknowledge the stress and let yourself understand that you can’t change things, so you just have to accept things as they are and not get extra aggravated. Whether you are dismayed by your role, or your productivity, sometimes even just allowing yourself to acknowledge the flaws can be very freeing. You can only start to work on the problems after you admit them. Plan ahead: Think about what you want out of your job? Do you want more responsibility at work? Or less? Are you thinking about going off on your own? Start writing down your goals so that you have a clearer idea of where your career might be taking you. Sometimes a tough job can be a great training ground for future ventures. An ideal stepping stone, so enjoy every moment.

Watch out for the media manipulators OTHERS THINK IT
O
NCE again I was interested to see the new series of politician ‘rappers’ put out by Sky News this week. These heavily manipulated adverts, somewhat irreverently, portray our esteemed leaders as twitching entertainers informing us they are bringing down the deficit and so on. To my mind, by presenting these highly technical images, the media moguls have actually shown us all just how much they can in fact meddle with any of the information they gather before delivering it to their unsuspecting viewers. It’s all very well to make their technically tweaked twitchers appear humorous

(the one that presented a completely different ‘Queen’s speech’ some years ago I found particularly funny); however, the practice can also be extremely misleading, and indeed dangerous. Some years ago, when the Murdoch media turncoats were scurrying around to appease their boss’s new mate Tony Blair I had cause to be watching Sky around 6am.

So do us a favour, all you wags in the cutting and editing rooms, keep it light. Wouldn’t like Twitter and all your social media rivals out there to make you all out to be the power-mad morons many of you actually are, would we? One thing they can’t control is the sub-titles for the deaf. Lovely one this week which interpreted Zimbabwe as Simm of Way. Now that’s what I call really manipulating the truth.

THEY say that everyone is a little bit Irish on March 17, and the Irish expat community in Spain will be out in force on that day - and before - to celebrate the world’s largest saint’s festival.

day all over the world. Though it’s a well-worn cliché, most people think of pints of Guinness, Irish coffees, singing, dancing and parades when they think of the most important festival day on the Irish calendar. Throughout Spain, on March 17, the Irish will extend a heartfelt ‘cead mile failte’ (a hundred thousand welcomes) to everyone wishing to join the party. With the date falling on a Tuesday this year, the weekend beforehand (March 14 and 15) is when most of the ‘Paddy’s Day’ festivities will be held, both back in the Emerald Isle and abroad. And this year won’t serve to disappoint. In 2013, the Irish Club Marbella organised a fun-filled event at Marbella’s Palacio de Congresos for the inaugural St Patrick’s Day Festival in the town. Given the wet day that it was, party-goers were glad of the indoor venue where there was plenty of Irish food and drink -

not to mention dancing and music - to keep people entertained all day. Last year saw the festival moved outdoors, held on the terraces above Marbella’s ever-popular Puerto Deportivo. The weather was fantastic and given the festival’s location right on the boardwalk, there was a real international flavour as passers-by and locals popped in to raise a glass for a resounding ‘slainte’ (cheers - or literally ‘health’) in honour of the patron saint of Ireland. This year’s event - to be held in the same location promises to be bigger and better, with more entertainment, more culinary choice, more participants
and more fun. The aromas of fish chowder, Guinness beef burgers, Clonakilty pudding and Irish bacon are bound to Turn to Page 63

Gender wage gap widens in Spain The gender pay gap in Spain is widening with women earning an average of 19.3 per cent less than men, compared to a 16.1 per cent difference in 2008. What is your opinion on the matter? OWNER of The Pub in Formentera del Segura, Sheralee Selves, is not surprised to hear that female workers receive less pay than their male counterparts. “I’ve never experienced it here personally as I’ve always worked for myself in Spain but I definitely experienced it in the UK so can well believe it happens in Spain where I think women are still seen by some in a bit of a derogatory way,” she said, and added: “As an employer we always try and look after our staff and pay them more than the average and I would never think to pay a woman less than a man; if they can do the job they get paid. It’s so wrong to pay depending upon gender.” Florence Navarro, owner of Agua Flo, a spas, pools and accessories company in Los Montesinos, was shocked to find such a wage gap between men and women. “Women should absolutely be paid the same as men for the same job. I would never consider paying a

do other chores; it is in our nature to do so. If you are in work that is exactly the same as a man then there is no reason whatsoever to be treated differently. I fully support equal pay.”
Julie from Yorkshire Linen/Beds and More, Mijas Costa, said: “I don’t think there should be any difference in the rate of pay. If the job is equal, then the salary should be too. Women tend to multi-task too and after doing a day’s SHERALEE: ‘It’s wrong to work they often pay depending upon go home to pregender.’ pare dinner or

A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
IN order to crawl out of recession Spain and Portugal introduced unloved austerity measures imposed by Brussels that hurt the most vulnerable of all. So did Greece, whose new president Alexis Tsipras was elected on the strength of promises to reverse austerity. The EU predictably called him to heel and Tsipras has now accused Spain and Portugal’s conservative governments of conspiring against him, fearful of the rising Left. Of course they fear the Left but their lack of support stems from believing that if they did it by the book and at great cost, then Greece can too. Neither Spain nor Portugal lied to join the single currency, neither frittered away the shoals of shimmering euros that flowed
from Brussels and used them to live beyond their means. That Greece did all this is not Tsipras’s responsibility. Making promises that Brussels and other EU partners will not allow him to keep is his fault and noone else’s.

Getting it right ANGEL GABILONDO, a former Education minister, is the PSOE’s candidate for the presidency of the Madrid autonomous region. He substitutes Tomas Gomez, a regional politician more popular with his own coterie than the party. Neither was Gomez popular with the electorate, leading the socialists to their worst-ever beating in Madrid during the 2011 regional elections. Gabilondo can certainly do no worse and possibly will do considerably better. He’s off to a good start with a call for politicians who care more about the population than internal party

FORMER president Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero increasingly does his own thing. He caused feather-spitting fury by dining with Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias without warning the PSOE’s own leader, Pedro Sanchez. Then the governing PP had a hissy fit because Zapatero travelled to Cuba and met its president, Raul Castro, who declined to receive Spain’s Foreign minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Maragall last November. After Iglesias at Christmas and Castro in February, the PSOE awaits Zapatero’s Easter outing with trepidation.

Conveniently assassinated P
REDICTABLY, mainstream media describes murdered Russian politician, Boris Nemtsov, as ‘Putin’s opposition.’ Really? In election terms the playboy oligarch was less popular than Screaming Lord Sutch’s Monster Raving Loony Party. At least the latter gathered enough votes to gain seats. I doubt President Putin, with a popularity rating of 86 per cent, lost much sleep over such a ‘threat.’ Half a Prime Minister David Cameron has the gall to demand Russia hold a transparent investigation into the murder. Would this be the same Etonian who hides from view a score or more inquiries? These include the murder of government weapons expert, Dr David Kelly, institutionalised paedophilia, and lies told to get Britain into America’s various conflicts. Between 1970 and 2013 there have been 758 assassinations worldwide of which only 8

per cent occurred in Russia, the world’s largest country. The US is well ahead in the ‘Assassination of Political Inconveniences’ League. Since 1865 more American heads of state have been assassinated than in any other country. Abraham Lincoln (1865), James A. Garfield (1882), William McKinley (1901), John F. Kennedy (1963). The latter almost certainly by the CIA. There were attempted assassinations of Franklin D Roosevelt in Miami on February 15 1933, Theodore Roosevelt, wounded in 1912, and President Ronald Reagan in 1981. In November 1950 Puerto Rican nationalists sought to murder President Harry S. Truman in a shoot-out.
JOHN F KENNEDY: ‘Almost certainly assassinated by the CIA.’ During and following World War Two there was a wave of convenient ‘suicides’ throughout the US. Harry Dexter White, Stephen Duggan and former US Ambassador to Britain John G Winant. General George S. Patton died when the Jeep he was travelling in was ‘accidentally’ rammed. The outspoken critic of President Truman’s regime
had earlier written to his wife and predicted he would not be coming home. Another US policy critic, US First Secretary of Defence James Forrestal. Diagnosed as being ‘deeply depressed’ he was placed in an upper floor room of a Washington hospital. On May 22, 1949 he ‘fell’ from its open window. Why was a man in such a state not given
a ground floor room with a sealed window? William Colby, a former CIA Director, spilled the beans. He should have taken the Edward Snowden route to Russia. Soon afterwards, Colby died in a mysterious boating ‘accident.’ As recently reported in EWN, over 40 high profile Western bankers have recently died under suspicious circumstances. The EU records more assassinations than does Russia; trying to catch up with the US perhaps? This might be a good time to remember that of late, no less than 12 notable US political figures have been murdered or been discovered dead under suspicious circumstances. These include Senators, Congressmen, Federal Prosecutors, a Federal Judge, a State Governor; all died after their questioning corruption or corporate malpractice. Name and shame: perhaps another time if I am still here to tell dead men’s tales.

AVE you been assaulted in South Yorkshire recently? Did eight police officers in five cars come to your home to conduct their enquiries? Did they hang around for five hours conducting those enquiries? Oh, and did they arrange for a BBC crew in a helicopter to record everything and broadcast it live to the nation? No? Thought not. That’s because you’re not famous and the alleged offence didn’t occur 30 years ago. If it happened to you yesterday, too bad! South Yorkshire police seem much more interested in the highprofile ‘historical’ stuff. This follows news that Sir Cliff Richard faces at least one more allegation of sexual abuse after police reports that their investi-
gation has “increased significantly in size.” As for Sir Cliff, he’s said the claims against him are “absurd and untrue” and he has “never, in my life, assaulted anyone.” The police have so far behaved with a staggering lack of judgement, and it’s hard to avoid the conclusion they’re now attempting to deflect public scrutiny away from the Rotherham child grooming scandal. It’s high profile and doesn’t threaten them - unlike Rotherham which is right on their patch and ongoing. The police usually leave the well-known accused in such cases in limbo for ages while they do little or nothing. That’s what’s happened several times in cases that have eventually been dropped. Take, for instance, the broadcaster, Paul Gambaccini, whose bail was extended seven times over a whole year. They owe it to Sir Cliff to investigate speedily and resolve this - one way or the other. It’s the least they can do. So, another nail in the failing reputation of the UK’s justice system and public trust in the police? Whatever your view, this case undeniably illustrates, yet again, the
unfairness of naming the accused and ridiculously long police investigations. It’s really hard to find safe ground on the naming issue. However, police and prosecutors rationalise that the surrounding publicity allows others who may have been wronged by the alleged offender to come forward: a fishing trip, in other words. Cases such as Sir Cliff’s are flawed and dangerous to the innocent party but, without anonymity, the current situation leads inevitably to a publicly declared presumption of guilt of the accused. Anonymity for both parties is the only answer.

HE nerdy, would-be world statesman Ed Miliband announced to great acclaim last week, that when the Labour Party forms the next government, it will reduce university tuition fees from nine to six thousand pounds. Now that’s what I call radical thinking; I almost fainted with uncontrolled admiration. But before Labour supporters start to reach for their telephones, let me say this is not a diatribe directed at Labour politicians - I am equally repelled by the lot of them, of whatever political persuasion. No, it’s this mind-set that our politicians seem to have and their ridiculous dream and target of sending every school leaver in the land to university that I don’t get. University was once the mark of excellence. A place where those above average abilities could hone their natural talent and academic abilities to the

highest level. Because the truth is, we are not all equal. That’s not to say that the less academic amongst us are inferior. Quite the opposite. Many of my ex-school pals trained under the apprenticeship scheme and went on to become skilled mechanics or technicians. Others had careers as diverse as nursing, sales and construction occupations that were suited to their own particular fields of interest and aptitude, and did not require the university experience to achieve. One pupil from my secondary modern school, who plodded through the lowest academic stream for four years, used his talent of gardening to good effect and now owns two large garden centres in Hampshire. The point is we all have a niche
ED MILIBAND: ‘Labour party will reduce university tuition fees.’ in society and it’s just a question of finding it. An all round education and an awareness of our place in the world is what is
required in order to become an equally rounded individual. I recently watched a repeat of a TV quiz first aired in 2013. One
of the contestants was a university student who was asked to name the explorer who mapped New Zealand. His answer, Robinson Crusoe. And it got worse when asked by Julia Bradbury the show’s host, to name the book by H.G.Wells about a man who could travel to the future. Answer, Great Expectations. They weren’t even intelligent guesses. Anything less than a university education we are led to believe, will condemn your kid to a life sitting outside a tube station with a lurcher and holding out an empty cocoa tin for loose change. If you believe that Robinson Crusoe mapped New Zealand, then yes, this is a possibility. But what does it tell us about those who study economics or political science at university and then without proper jobs or real experience of the world, go directly into the business of politics? I rest my case.

The story of Olympic Gold Medal-winning wrestler Mark Schultz (Tatum), who sees a way out from the shadow of his celebrated wrestling brother Dave (Ruffalo) and a life of poverty when he is summoned by eccentric multi-millionaire John du Pont (Carell) to move onto his estate and train for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. He lures Mark into dangerous habits, breaks his confidence and drives him into a self-destructive spiral. Directed by Bennett Miller and starring Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo, Vanessa Redgrave and Sienna Miller. Rating: R. Runtime: 2 hr. 10 min. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) A date on your calendar draws near. It seems less important than it did and you may be tempted to cancel. Think twice. The question of who to go on holiday with comes up and someone is keen to tie you down. Keep options open because things this week are changeable, indeed. An unexpected phone call brings surprise news. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) An opportunity to do something socially arises. It is not earth shattering, but could have a great longterm impact. Others seem to have confidence in you and enjoy your company this week. Having been given the chance to show what you are really capable of, allow your talents to show through. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) A new start with someone, socially, shows great promise. Consider what you want to get rid of in your life and plan how to approach the task. A bit of military precision goes down well. Cast your net wide. It may be necessary to invest in a few theatre tickets or a weekend away. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Should things go absolutely perfectly for you this week, then I would eat my hat. I don't usually wear one but would go to a charity shop immediately. Rolling round in your mind is the thought that, just as things start to go well, another problem crops up. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Social life is squeezed because of business commitments. As you are a people person, there will be fun and times out aplenty this week. Burning the candle at both ends works for a while and there is the chance to meet someone that you admire. LEO (July 24 - August 23) May we consider for a moment what you thought that you would be doing, right now, five years ago? Yes, do you see what I mean? Breaking away from an old habit could be the best thing that you have done for a long time. .

12 March, Liza Minelli, Movie Actress, 69 Daughter of Judy Garland who won acclaim for her performance in Cabaret. She first appeared in film at age three. She was married and divorced to David Gest three times.
14 March, Michael Caine, Movie Actor, 82 During his 50 year career, he has had roles in The Italian Job, Cider House Rules and The Austin Powers film, Goldmember. He was knighted in 2000. He has been nominated for an Academy Award several times. 15 March, Will I Am, Singer, 40 He has become known for his worth with the Black Eyed Peas alongside Fergie. They won seven Grammy Awards and three World Music Awards. He also won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance for Let’s Get it Started in 2005.
How many English words of four letters or more can you make from the nine letters in our Nonagram puzzle? Each letter may be used only once (unless the letter appears twice). Each word MUST CONTAIN THE CENTRE LETTER (in this case D) and there must be AT LEAST ONE NINE LETTER WORD. Plurals, vulgarities or proper nouns are not allowed.
16 March, Theo Walcott, Football Player, 26 English forward who was named BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year in 2006 as a member of Southampton. He joined both Arsenal and England’s nacional team in 2006. He began his youth career when he was just 10 years old. 17 March, Kurt Russell, Movie Actor, 64 Child star who became an actor in action films and comedies. He began his career at the age of 11. He has been with actress Goldie Hawn for many years and they have a son, Wyatt who was born in 1986. 18 March, Queen Latifah, Movie Actress, 45 Golden Globe winning actress nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Chicago in 2002. She also became host of The Queen Latifah Show on CBS.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Taking a step back from the activity appeals right now. After an active time, energy needs building up. Basking in someone's glory shows you just how things could be. Give a new relationship more of a chance to grow. The avenues this person can open up to you will put a twinkle in your eye and a blush on your cheek.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) The past has been kind to you but also unkind. It is the same for most of us, so don't think that you have been singled out for a bumpy ride. Be aware that basing a decision made this week on what happened a long time ago could be a mistake. Take things one step at a time and ask lots of questions.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) The strong urge to make physical contact with someone leads to a bit of bother. Not that there is anything wrong with a few hugs and kisses. It is the person or the timing that could be wrong. Love of something beautiful may lead to overspending.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) At some time in the future you may look back on this week and ask yourself, 'Why didn't I do that?' Let me help you to see the possibilities. The emphasis is firmly on your social life and someone special is about to step into it. Is the answer in online dating?

Which Labour politician, MP for Hamilton from 1978 to 1997 and for Hamilton South from 1997 to 1999, was Secretary-General of NATO from 1999 to 2003? 3. What was the name of the British Methodist preacher who founded the Salvation Army and became its first General in 1878? 4. What was the name of the General who commanded the Carthaginian army in the second Punic War (218–201 BC)? He crossed the Alps and defeated the Romans but was recalled to defend Carthage and was defeated? 5. Which 2000 film starred Russell Crowe as the loyal Roman General Maximus Decimus Meridius? 6. Which American TV series that originally ran from 1979 to 1985 featured a 1969 Dodge Charger stock car dubbed the General Lee? 7. Which comedy performer played the role of General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett in the TV sitcom Blackadder Goes Forth? 8. Which famous ‘swashbuckling’ actor played the part of General George Custer in the 1941 film They Died with Their Boots On? 9. Which five-star General in the US Army during World War II, served as Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe? 10. Which Scottish novelist, whose works include The Thirty Nine Steps and Greenmantle, served as Governor General of Canada from 1935 to 1940?
TARGET: Average: 17 Good: 22 15 March, Victor Muñoz, Coach. Victor Muñoz Manrique born in Zaragoza in 1957 is a retired Spanish footballer and is now a coach. He was best known for his great physical strength. He spent most of his professional career at FC Barcelona, winning a total of eight major titles. He represented his country in one World Cup and two European Championships.
Very good: 31

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Feeling really balanced and calm? Being aware that you have full knowledge of a situation is good, isn't it? Absolutely anyone could snap at you this week and have no success at all in upsetting you. To say that the period is tranquil is an understatement. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) More than one possibility presents itself in connection with a problem. A foreign visit or visitor figures highly in plans and solutions. A change in someone close is brought to your attention. Get people talking to make real progress. Some may be inclined to put their head in the sand but not you.

She received €428 million in WalMart dividends after tax in 2014. 2. €36.55 billion. Liliane Bettencourt’s holdings in L’Oreal underpin her wealth, a position that grew stronger when she bought another 8 per cent of the company from Nestle last year, report Forbes. She and her family now hold 33 per cent of the cosmetics company founded in 1907 by her father Eugene Schueller. She is the richest woman in Europe. 3 . €35.91 billion. Alice Walton is another woman who can thank WalMart for her great wealth. She inherited a forune in stock from her father Sam Walton. She has long been known for her interests in the art world and she opened the Crystal Bridges Art Museum in her home town of Bentonville, Arkansas, in 2011. 4. €24.24 billion.

The most impressive thing about this extraordinary book is its atmosphere. You can feel the cold and the desperation of the people trying to live through the ‘wolf winter,’ a term used to describe the coldest of winters. We follow a family of new settlers. This is Swedish Lapland in 1717
where the church has a grip on the community but the Lapps still believe in the ancient spirits. When a body is found folk are quick to blame a bear for his death but the new settlers see signs of a knife wound, not a claw. This is very special, a ghostly feel of menace lies just beneath the sur-

She has given many millions to education projects, and her foundation is the biggest shareholder in Disney. She is also a board member at startup Ozy Media and sits on Stanford University’s Board of Trustees. 7. €15.49 billion. Anne Cox Chambers owns Cox Enterprises, a privately held media company.

OPINION & COMMENT
Witness for the defence I KNOW that Leapy Lee can defend himself perfectly well; after all, he has his column to do so. However, I think Bill Campbell has missed the point. Mr Campbell, please let me ask you this one question: “Did you ever, if only once, hear a Muslim singing “Allah save our gracious Queen” with their eyes closed and their hands on their hearts? I suspect not. Until that day comes, Mr Campbell, I am with Leapy 100 per cent and I think you should be too. With affection and gratitude for your excellent newspaper, Jonathan Allso, Valencia

Newspeak peril BILL CAMPBELL’S attack on Leapy Lee contained the usual one-liners used by the liberal left to shut down any discussion with people of opposing views. I am referring to “the world has changed” or “you’re stereotyping.” Add “you’re a dinosaur” or “this is the 21st century” (as if you were 100 years out of date) and one has the full set. These phrases are a common trick used by pseudo-intellectuals who feel their use is an argument in itself to denounce any opposition. They despise anyone with (non-political) conservative attitudes, as they are so absolutely certain of their standpoint. Campbell says that the restrictions in Saudi “embarrass most Muslims.” Really! I presume he speaks for those in Syria, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen and Libya where I believe the nightlife is a riot! Similarly he believes only a tiny minority of Muslims are involved in recent atrocities. Who says so? The BBC or the Guardian? A recent poll showed almost 30 per cent had sympathy with events in Paris and who knows what is said in private? As someone who was born and lived in Blackburn for the first 33 years of my life I know a thing or two about “multiculturalism.” The communities do not overlap, they don’t even touch and the town, like many others in the North of England, is in terminal decline.
Finally, he acts as an apologist for what he euphemistically terms “extreme behaviour” (straight from Orwell’s ‘1984’ newspeak). This sounds like what some said at the very start of the Second World War: “We shouldn’t bomb Germany or they’ll retaliate.” We all know where that one ended. Peter A Fletcher (by email)

Stem the tide READING Mike Walsh’s latest dredgings from the depths of his paranoia, I am reminded of the folk who kept telling us in the 1930s that Mr Hitler was really a nice guy who would not do any harm provided we gave him what he wanted. They went on saying that, even after Hitler had invaded Czechoslovakia and even after he invaded Poland.
LIKE a previous correspondent I don’t recognise those acid yellow flowers with trefoil leaves, but I can tell that this busy bee was investigating freesias. D Compton (by email) Interestingly, Mike seems to believe that absurd bit of propaganda, as he last week assured us that Poland’s army was bigger than Germany’s in 1939. I suppose it may have been bigger numerically but that meant nothing in terms of effectiveness. Now he constantly claims that the crisis in Ukraine is all the West’s fault and the West has ruined that country. He completely ignores the fact that Russia has done its share of destruction, by invading the country and organising the secession of the Crimea. If Putin did not want to damage Ukraine, why did he annex the Crimea? It is, I am afraid, blindingly obvious that Putin has a long-term plan to reassert Russian domination at least over what used to be the USSR and probably over the former satellite states of Eastern Europe. He will not be stopped by giving him everything he asks for at each stage of the process. Mike would do better to support NATO and the EU’s moves to beef up its military presence and hit Russia eco-
nomically. The countries which Mike says are suffering because of the sanctions have made it clear that they would rather suffer that than be left at Putin’s mercy. Bill Campbell (by email)
Frankly spoken I AM in Spain for a few weeks’ holiday from Scotland and was both impressed and alarmed by Mike Walsh’s column. We would not find an article like this in the Scottish press. Well done, Mike, I will follow your articles from Scotland. Jim Mcallister (by email)
Word perfect IN a week when Russia’s last Opposition politician has been murdered, it is an embarrassment to the Euro Weekly News that Mike Walsh sets himself up as a mouthpiece for the Putin regime. He even stoops to the level where he copies the Kremlin vocabulary, calling Putin a statesman but the Ukrainian

No-go zone WITH reference to the new pedestrian precinct at Paseo de Larios in Torre del Mar, I have already seen a number of cyclists using it, dodging around pedestrians and families.

Tell your mum NOT many here saw any reason for changing the Abortion Law although Mr Rajoy was set on it. I suppose like politicians everywhere he depends on opinion poll results. Whatever, most people – most women – were relieved when he changed his mind. As your newspaper mentioned, there is still the problem of parental consent for girls between 16 and 18 but isn’t that a minor issue? I’ve seen things change over the years and all the Spanish girls I know would confide in their parents, especially their ‘mam’i. Connie Bartholomew (by email)

Congratulations to Poggio
Visitor drops by
DIRECTOR of Gibraltar House in London, and the Government’s UK representative, Albert Poggio has been honoured by the Independent agency Grassroot Diplomat. He has been given an Honorary Diplomat Initiative Award 2015. He said: “This award is not just for me, but for Gibraltar as a whole.” Mr Poggio was nominated from a shortlist of 100 candidates to receive his award.
GIBRALTAR had a visit from the Royal Navy’s newest destroyer this week. The Type 45 HMS Duncan stopped off to top up on fuel and supplies whilst on its maiden deployment. Based in Portsmouth she is on a nine month tour of the Mediterranean, Middle East and Gulf. The ship is ready to take on counter-piracy and disaster relief missions.
No sign of Syrian THE Royal Gibraltar Police are scaling down a search for the missing man thought to have tried to swim ashore from a ship in the harbour at the weekend. Despite initial extra marine patrols, divers, and police offices on land aiding the search, the Syrian national has not yet been found.
Airport row goes on SPANISH Foreign Minister Jose Manuel GarciaMargallo would appear to be trying to muddy the waters over sovereignty issues by creating an argument that doesn’t exist. When at an informal meeting of EU Foreign Ministers in Riga he commented that the
application to Gibraltar of EU law on civil aviation should be subject to a bilateral agreement between the United Kingdom and Spain. Now Gibraltar’s Deputy Chief Minister Joseph Garcia has said: “The Government does not agree with the proposal made by the Spanish
Foreign Minister.” He goes on to add that: “The reality is that Spain should be made to honour its obligations under the EU Treaties and the agreement that they entered into at Cordoba in 2006 and would no longer seek the exclusion of Gibraltar airport from EU legislation. And any bilateral agreement would be contrary to the EU treaties, to our terms of membership of the EU and therefore illegal.” The Spanish Foreign Minister has said that the reason why Spain is holding up EU aviation legislation is because the airport is constructed on land which was not ced-
GIBRALTAR AIRPORT: Argument over civil aviation EU law. ed under the Treaty of Utrecht and Spain is concerned at the possible recognition of UK sovereignty in that zone. The Government main-
tains that, “the whole of Gibraltar is British, from the frontier fence up to Europa Point including the territorial waters, and the airspace above. Spain is holding the whole of Europe to ransom in order to advance its claim to Gibraltar. Their argument does not even make sense given
that the EU law that will apply to the airport is the same as applies in the rest of Europe. They should also bear in mind that EU law first applied to the airport when we acceded to the European Community, as it was then, in 1973 which is 13 years before Spain joined.”

Above all else, my plan is to rest, eat well and hug my children lots! Erica Russell Watson: My journey – and I’m driving
My dear friend Pepi called m e t o s e e i f I wa s u p t o having a visitor. It was just what I needed so she came over. It was a beautiful sunny day and just sitting havi n g t e a a n d c h a tt i n g w i t h Pepi made me feel so happy.
4th March I SIGNED off my last blog feeling more than a little und e r t h e w e a t h e r. I h ave likened my chemotherapy to an assault course in the past and until recently I had been metaphorically jumpi n g ove r wa l l s a n d ra c i n g along at a great pace. Last week I seemed to get a l i tt l e s t u c k i n t h e c a r g o n e tt i n g ! N o t t o w o r r y a s nothing lasts forever. Finally my body seemed to kick into action and my defence system rallied and my fever dissipated.
Small things take on greater importance The small things take on greater importance when life changing events happen so now I appreciate every little happy moment. It was Andalucía Day so we went up to the football club. My son was playing in a ‘friendly’ match. Wonder-
ful Spanish music accompanied by a healthy portion of p a e l l a wa s j u s t w h a t t h e doctor ordered. We s p e n t t h e a f t e r n o o n there and then a quick icecream on the way home. I was starting to feel tired s o w e n t t o b e d a n d fe l l asleep. S u n d ay d a w n e d a n d I really felt so much better. I decided as it was another l ove l y s u n ny d ay t h a t I w o u l d f l a s h u p t h e B B Q. Jorge was coming over and wasn’t expecting a BBQ so t h a t w o u l d b e a n i c e s u rprise. He had just finished training in the gym and sent me a message to say he was on his way, extremely happy at t h e p r o s p e c t o f c h o r i z o, chicken wings, burgers, pinchitos and the like! He wasn’t the only one… we all love a BBQ! I always like to mention the special people in my life.
I h ave t o t h a n k J o r g e s o much for all his support and love. He really does understand what I am going through because he is also a cancer s u r v i vo r. I d ra w g r e a t strength from having him by my side.
I strongly believe in remembering the good times I am now in the last week in the run up to chemo session number six. I do feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel, b u t s t i l l h ave a fu r t h e r two treatments to go and
probably the toughest yet. I b u s y my h e a d w i t h thoughts of better days and of all the things I plan to d o. Fo r m e t h e o u t l o o k i s g o o d d e s p i t e e ve r y t h i n g that has happened to me and to us as a family. I s t r o n g l y b e l i e ve i n r e membering the good times, enjoying the here and now and looking forward to the future. Any other philosophy just wouldn’t be helpful. Lamenting your ill fortune or asking why me is frankly a waste of time and energy. It sounds so simple, but honestly thinking positive thoughts really does bear fruit. My plan for this week is to hug my children lots! And to tick off a few things on my ‘list to do’! I will above all rest, eat well and keep my fingers crossed that I will be in shape for my next treatment.

People more like their fathers than mothers IN terms of genetics, most people are more like their fathers. Although we inherit equal amounts of genetic mutations from our parents, new research has revealed we actually ‘use’ more of the DNA that we inherit from our fathers. Finding out whether we inherit variants of these genes from one parent or another is crucial for the development of diseases

Too much salt may be good WE all know that eating too much salt may be bad for your heart, but did you know it could be good for your skin? Scientists say that a high-salt diet causes sodium levels to build up in the skin, and that may boost the immune system and help fight off germs that cause bacterial skin infections. In an experiment, German researchers discovered that mice which were fed a high-salt diet healed infections in their feet more
SALT DIET: High sodium levels may boost the immune system and help fight off germs. quickly. Professor Jonathan Jantsch, of the University of Regensburg, said:
“Up to now, salt has been regarded as a detrimental dietary factor; it is clearly known to be detrimental
for cardiovascular diseases, and recent studies have implicated a role in worsening autoimmune diseases. Our current study challenges this one-sided view and suggests that increasing salt accumulation at the site of infections might be an ancient strategy to ward off infections, long before antibiotics were invented.” Future studies will examine how salt accumulates in the skin and triggers immune responses, and why salt accumulates in the
skin of aging adults. It is hoped that by getting a better understanding of how salt accumulates it might not only help to design drugs that specifically enhance local salt deposition and help to combat infectious diseases, but also may lead to new strategies to mobilise sodium stores in the aging population and prevent cardiovascular disease. It is not suggested that people increase their salt intake due to the known negative effects of high salt consumption.
Don’t suffer acne DR Consuelo Molina, from the Acne Unit at the Dermatology Centre of Alicante, said they are continually treating more cases of acne in adults; a disease that can have physical and psychological effects which can be devastating for sufferers. “In adults it usually manifests with more inflammatory and deep lesions. Due to differences between the skin of adults and adolescents, there is greater likelihood of scars or marks.” Dr Molina said causes in adults can be varied: “It is important that a full clinical study is carried out to help us identify and to prescribe the most appropriate treatment in each case.” Causes can include inappropriate use of cosmetics. Make sure you use noncomedogenic products which are oil free. Hormonal imbalance; increased androgenic hormones in women favours increased oil production that clogs the follicle and generates acne. An unbalanced diet and stress can also be a cause. Dr Molina said there are many different treatments.

Good food at good prices for g WALK into Cibo Italiano restaurant on Marbella’s Golden Mile and the care and attention put into creating this stylish eatery is immediately apparent. Beautifully designed down to the last detail it is a pleaure to sit in. First impressions count, and Cibo does not let you down. Like all good restaurants the surroundings reflect the most important aspect of the dining experience - the food. Like the décor, it is top class classical Italian food but with a modern twist and with those final touches that turn good food into something special. The ethos of care and attention comes straight from chef/partner Lorenzo Otterburn. With his 25 years experience working with the likes of Gordon Ramsay and Marco Pierre White, as well as at the
CIBO ITALIANO: Serving top class classical Italian food with a modern twist.
STYLISH EATERY: Situated on the G
Walnut Tree, he has the knowledge and skills to make the food at Cibo something special and different from so many other Italians on the Costa del Sol. Already well known in the area for his La Casita Restaurante in La Heredia on the Ronda Road, he decided to take a sabbatical during 2014 to return to London and brush up on
to bring to the dining experience. “We want to put the informality into it. Every dish we serve is home-made, from the bread and pasta to the pizzas and even our own home cured duck ‘ham.’ We want people to feel they have had a good dining experience.” That philosophy is clearly shown by the outstanding food. The top quality ingredients are enhanced by the cooking and not overwhelmed by fancy and,
the latest culinary trends. He worked at the Hawksmoor - widely acknowledged as one of the best grill restaurants in the world - then headed off to party island Ibiza to the exclusive private island of Tagomago. There he catered for the superstar likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and the Rolling Stones After his culinary break he decided to return to
Marbella, as he said: “Motivated and enthused to try something new.” He said: “The whole idea is to offer good simple food without trying to be too clever or expensive. In short we want to give good food at a good price for good people.” He added: “The watchword in fashion in recent years has been ‘hippy-chic’ and that is what we want

thought and attention has gone into every dish, and the use of a Josper charcoal fired oven for the grills and pizzas adds a delicious flavour to the dishes. The presentation of the meals is also superb with specially imported wooden serving platters giving an unusual touch. Stars of the menu include chargrilled lamb chops with a mint pesto, home-made lobster ravioli and the chargrilled chuleton bone in rib steak. There is a wide selection of dishes including pizzas and pasta, fish and meat, as well as a children’s menu. Every dish tried from the pizza to the lamb chops was cooked to perfection.

Murder in the Forest
Heroic wildlife Conservationist Lone Drøscher Nielsen comes to Fuengirola, and talks exclusively to the Euro Weekly News’ Steve Walsh about the critical situation threatening the extinction of our closest cousins; the Orangutan.
C
AN you imagine the scene? You’re looking into the sorrowful eyes of a helpless mother that has been savagely beaten and hacked to death with machetes while listening to the screams of her child being torn from her arms. It’s a horrible picture isn’t it? One you would expect to see in a horror film maybe? Well no, it happens all the time, almost every day in Borneo. These atrocities and others like them are what Drøscher Nielsen and the BOSF have to live with, and fight against on a daily basis. Since 1993, Lone and her organisation the ‘Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation’ have fought a continuing struggle to save the orphans and reintroduce them into the wild. This has been a long and almost impossible task which at one stage almost killed her. But now, things are worse! Much worse! When in 1991 the Danish born air stewardess visited a small Orangutan project in Borneo, she instantly fell in love with the forest and the Orangutan, that’s when she decided to stay. Today, through pure determination, personal sacrifice, and love for our nearest cousins, she is the founder of the largest primate rescue centre in the world. The decreasing rain forests of Borneo are one of the only two remaining natural habi-
CLOSEST COUSINS: The Orangutan cannot live without trees and nest high up in the branches. tats left for the Orangutans, and are the only apes to be found living in Asia. With nearly 600 youngsters to look after, palm oil giants and a reticent government to battle, you would think that staring death in the face two years ago would have made her think twice. But no! She’s back for ‘Round 2,’ but this time the situation is desperate, and she needs help. These sweet soulful potbellied characters, who share 97 per cent of our DNA, are known to be the most sedate and friendly of the apes. They are one of our closest relatives, and are born with the ability to reason and think. The ‘People of the forest’ (direct translation of Orangutan) have the intelligence and ability to fashion rudimentary tools to help them forage for food. The length of time a child spends under the care of its mother is one of the longest in the mammal world, anywhere from six to 14 years in fact. This is one of the problems the BOSF have to deal with. From the day a baby is rescued, it embarks on a daily training programme that will last at least six or eight years before it can be released to fend for itself. We say ‘one’ of the problems
Born with the ability to reason and think because there are others, and far more serious! These come primarily from the previous government’s ‘underhanded’ policies on palm oil plantations and logging contracts. Where large swathes of natural forest are being sold to, and levelled by the new emerging palm oil producers and loggers. It has been calculated that: “Due to the increase in palm oil plantation growth, and illegal logging, coupled with the Indonesian pledge that palm oil production will increase from 20 million tonnes to 40 million tonnes; by the year 2022 there will be NO low level forestation to sustain wildlife.”
The Orangutan are arboreal creatures, they can’t live without trees. They nest high up in the branches safe from the forest floor. They drink water collected in the high leaves, and in the dry season they suck them like a sponge. When it rains (and man can it rain!) they use large leaves to protect themselves. It’s a fact that without the trees they will become extinct, and with the equivalent area of 300 football pitches being cleared every day… That won’t be long! Couple that with the problem of hunters and poachers that slaughter mothers so as to steal and sell the babies as pets or prostitutes, you start to see the scale of the task Lone and the BOSF have on their hands. But time has run out, the situation has become desperate. In 2012 the government granted a slice of forest to the programme for the release of rehabilitated Orangutan. Since then some 136 orphans and survivors have been successfully returned to their trees. But it was expensive! Transport costs, permits, and the 189 staff are just a part of the huge bill the BOSF have to pay. At this moment the centre (which was designed to house 100

Orangutan) has 600 tenants. Funds are desperately needed to move the waiting ‘people of the forest’ back to the wild, and relieve the bottleneck in the programme. Lone’s message is clear. “It’s quite simple, if the treated cannot be returned to the wild, we cannot take any more orphaned babies in, hundreds may die. The suffering of these apes and the destruction of their home isn’t a natural disaster. The imminent extinction of this species isn’t an act of nature. We caused it! We are the ones that want cheap vegetable oil; therefore it’s our responsibility not to let them be wiped out.”

FUENGIROLA SCOUTS: Collected toothbrushes and toothpaste for charity.
Scouts and about CUB Scouts and Beaver Scouts from Fuengirola collected toothbrushes and toothpaste for the Dental Maverick Charity. The items will be used to help children in Morocco who lack access to dental care. Cally Gedge, cofounder of Mavericks, accepted the donation on behalf of the charity. The children were inspired to collect the toothbrushes and toothpaste after working for
Cub and Beaver health and fitness badges. In February, Tony Gedge (also a co-founder of Mavericks,) ran an interesting and informative evening to teach the children about dental health and explain to them the work dentists undertake by offering free services to children in remote parts of Morocco. After receiving the donation, Cally thanked them for collecting so many items.
The next project the children will be throwing themselves into will be collecting spectacles for Specsavers to help people in Africa and India. At end of March, the group intends to spend a weekend camping near Sierra de las Nieves. The Cubs and Beavers will also be packing bags in April at Iceland Overseas to raise funds. www.fuengirolascouts. com / 610 755 995 / fuen girolacubs@gmail.com

Giving verbal praise David THE Dogman WELL DONE: Verbal praise for most dogs is usually enough.
Listen to David on TRE every Saturday 10 thru 11. Costa del Sol (Gibraltar/Sotogrande) 98.7fm (San Roque to Calahonda) 91.9fm (Calahonda to Motril) 88.9, Costa Calida 92.7fm Costa Blanca (Torrevieja to Elche) 105.1fm (Elche to Calpe) 88.2fm, (Calpe to Gandia & Ibiza) 104.6fm, (Denia to Valencia) 95.3fm Mallorca 103.9fm
IF you give your dog a command, even a simple one like SIT then the reward of ‘good dog’ is given as the dog’s bottom hits the ground. Just a verbal praise given in a light happy voice can be enough for most dogs. Sometimes people will use food or a motivator for this reward system. I believe if you have used treats for a couple of months a dog will now be content with the bright happy voice which should be sufficient for such a simple command. A motivator the dog really loves can be used such as that special ball or toy. Most professional working dogs are rewarded in this manner as soon as they have found something. Whatever you use, you only have a split second to give it on completion of an exercise. I use my voice and a quick touch under the chin as my rewards. Think about the dolphin which performs in a show.
He is being taught to jump out of the water. If he jumps about two metres, he gets a small whistle to call him back, and when he returns to the edge of the pool, he gets a small fish.
As his training increases, and he jumps about six metres out of the pool, he gets a huge whistle while he’s at the top of the jump, which brings him swiftly back, and he gets a bucket of fish as his reward.

Affordable luxury property prices attract super-rich to Spain MADRID and Barcelona may not be Monaco, but they’re attracting an increasing amount of super-rich property owners. A study by multinational consultancy firm Knight Frank has found that between them the two Spanish cities boast 982 great fortunes, 14 more than last year. The Wealth Report stated that the number of ultra-high net worth individuals increased by 3 per cent in 2014 across the world, and by 2 per cent in Spain. Last year, 3,538 super-rich registered Spain as their place of residence. Of these, 554 were registered in Madrid and 438 in Barcelona with the rest spread across the country. THE international financial markets are expected to be a key driver in the Spanish prime residential property market during 2015. During the first few months of 2015, an increase in demand from UK, US and Swiss buyers thanks to the rise of the dollar,
This placed Madrid as number 18 on the list of favourite places for these people to set up home and was the first time the Spanish capital city reached the top 20 for cities that attract the world’s richest people in the nine years the study has been carried out. Madrid is now the ninth favourite city in Europe for the super-rich, ahead of cities including Amsterdam and Dublin. Luxury property prices increased by 5 per cent in the city in 2014, yet prices are still considered ‘affordable.’ In Madrid, €1 million would buy you 133 square metres whereas the same amount would only be enough for 23 square metres in London or 17 in Monaco.
BARCELONA: Attracting the super-rich.
Markets a key factor pound and Swiss franc against the Euro has been seen reported Lucas Fox property consultants. On the other hand the number of Russian investors is expected
to tail off as the rouble goes into free fall. “With unemployment falling, the economy growing faster than predicted and property
reaching the bottom, 2015 is set to be a pivotal year for Spain’s property market,” said Lucas Fox co-founder Alexander Vaughan. “Prices are on average 40 per
cent below what they were since the start of the crisis in 2007 and we predict a slow steady recovery. We see 2015 as the recovery year for the Spanish prime residential property market, driven mainly by increasing numbers of overseas buyers,” said Mr Vaughan.

S the weather warms up it is time for thoughtful gardeners to stock up on ecological fertilizers, insecticides and fungicides which are safer to use than many chemical products. Many products are now available, most having been initially developed to support the growing of vegetables and fruit for export, but unfortunately recent emails from readers and my own research indicate that not all garden centres, horticultural shops and agricultural cooperative shops stock them. However, you can buy from various internet sites or make your own. Some useful homemade products Nettle fertilizer - If you see nettles growing in your garden or in the nearby lanes and countryside, cut them and steep them in water for a couple of weeks and then strain off the leaves and use the liquid to give plants a spring feed to strengthen them after the winter, including overwintered vegetables and fruit trees. The solution can be used as a foliar feed. Comfrey leaf fertilizer and compost accelerator - Fill a bucket or dustbin with leaves and then cover with water for three weeks before diluting with water and using to feed vegetables. Fresh leaves or the mush at the bottom are useful accelerators for the compost heap. If you would like some cuttings email

gardeninginspain@ hotmail.com. Compost heap compost – With luck last year’s compost heap is now ready for mixing into soils and tree planting holes being prepared for plantings and also for use as a mulch around shrubs. Garlic insecticide – Mash a head of garlic and pour hot water over it and then leave it for a couple of days while the insecticide ingredients are leached out. Then strain and use, neat or diluted, to spray any insect attacks and as a preventive against the geranium moth. With geraniums repeat the spraying weekly, as new moths tend to come across the fence from neighbouring gardens where unsprayed plants can become breeding grounds in the spring. Now is also a good time to plant a couple of garlic segments in containers planted with geraniums and under rose bushes to help combat fungal attacks. Thyme insecticide Not as strong as a garlic spray but useful. Hang up bunches of leaves on the kitchen door to deter flying insects from entering.

Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona.

We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736.

Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.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 605 227 155.

60 years of the Mercedes-Benz 190 SL One of Mercedes-Benz’s most iconic cars is celebrating its 60th anniversary
T
HE eagerly awaited Mercedes-Benz 190 SL (W 121) was launched in 1955. The two-seater Cabriolet technologically based on the upper midsize category brought joy and colour to everyday life during the years of the economic miracle. Internationally the 190 SL set standards for a culture of comfortable travel with style and sporty elegance. Together with its ‘elder sibling,’ the 300 SL, it paved the way for the successful Mercedes-Benz SL tradition - culminating in the current R 231. Today the W 121 is a classic car that fetches exceptionally good prices. Experts in the industry and the general public alike had been dreaming of this car since the appearance of a prototype version at the International Motor Sports Show in New York in February

1954. The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL then appeared in its finished form in March 1955 at the 25th International Motor Show in Geneva where it met with a resounding response. The 190 SL, which went into main production in May 1955, was an opentop, two-seater car for comfortable and stylish travel. Karl Wilfert and Walter Häcker designed its body with sporty lines and in a style reminiscent
The 190 SL became the dream car of the 1950s
of the 300 SL Gullwing (W 198) super sports car. Whereas the Gullwing Coupé was based on a complex space
frame, the 190 SL Cabriolet had the shortened floor assembly of the 180 Saloon model (W 120) with self-supporting chassis-body structure. The 190 SL was powered by the newly developed M 121, a 77kW (105hp) 1.9litre four-cylinder engine with an overhead

camshaft. The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL stood for the feeling of being alive in the ‘Swinging Fifties’, for a colourful joie de vivre and lightness - as also shown by the car’s appearances in lighthearted German films of the time such as ‘Die Zwillinge vom Zillertal’ (The Zillertal Twins, 1957) and ‘Solange noch die Rosen blühn’ (As Long As The Roses Are In Bloom, 1956). The 190 SL primarily became the dream car of the 1950s against the economic backdrop of the starting recovery: never before had so many people had the opportunity to realise the dream of having their own car.

Hay fever season and driving
SUFFERING from allergies and being a driver are a combination of factors that poses a potential risk on the roads. In a new campaign by the DGT, it is revealed how a sneezing fit of just five seconds means that a car travelling at 90 kilometres per hour covers a distance of 125 metres, the distance greater than a football field, when the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention is distracted as a result. The sneezing fit can often last longer than five seconds though, perhaps eight, 10 or more, with the vehicle continuing to travel without the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full attention. On a normal, dry road, the overall stopping distance for a car travelling at 90 kilometres per hour is calculated at 65.7 metres, just half of the distance covered during our five second sneezing fit. During the reaction time alone, the vehicle would have travelled 25 metres. In other words, in the event of an incident ahead, there would not be enough time to react and stop. Sneezing is only one
SNEEZING: Can be dangerous while driving. symptom of an allergic reaction, most commonly hay fever at this time of year, severe itching of the eyes, irritation, congestion or a runny nose, light sensitivity and many more combinations of symptoms, all make driving particularly problematic for sufferers. Drugs to combat the physical symptoms can help ease the dreaded onset of hay fever, but some of these drugs also cause problems with driving, sometimes causing drowsiness, or other problems, and can inter-
act with prescribed medication. Sufferers of hay fever might have already realised that the pollen season has started early once again in Spain, but it can vary depending on the geographical location. Within the car, keeping the vehicle clean, inside and out, can remove much of the residual pollen, as can the installation of filters in the air distribution system. Keeping windows closed, wearing sunglasses and avoiding key problematic times such as dawn and dusk can all ease the symptoms. All antihistamines sold in Spain should carry a pictogram on their packaging, depicting a car within a danger warning signal, which is designed to alert drivers of the possible effects on the ability to drive safely. However, it may not be present on imported medication. But, if you see this sign you need to be aware that your driving ability is likely to be affected. If you are taking any medication, make sure you read the instruction leaflet, or check with your doctor or pharmacist. Visit www.polenes.com for more information or website n332.es.

FootGolf Marbella co-hosts inaugural 2015 European tour From back page The champion, Mark ‘’Woody’ Woodward, travelled from New Jersey in the USA to finish in a tie with a German player, Julien Kelkel. Woodward prevailed in a playoff hole to become the champion. “I never believed I could have won the tournament.” said an emotional Woodward. The third place winner, Zaki Talib (SUI) prevailed in a three-way playoff against Nick Iron (UK) and Sam Van Bracht (NED). Ivo Haagen co-founder of FootGolf Marbella commented, “We are delighted with the turnout and feedback which we received from the experienced player. The course is among the best Foot-
Golf courses ever played. This in combination with the excellent standard of the international field helped to make this such a world class FootGolf event.” The best Spanish performances were by Fernando Lago (Spanish no. 2 ranked player) and Gareth Morcombe (Spanish no. 1 ranked player) both members of FootGolf Marbella. It is the only FootGolf club of its kind in the southern part of Spain.
