British hero risks life in sea rescue attempt Exclusive interview by Steve Walsh A BRITISH holidaymaker who made an heroic attempt to save one of two boys who died on Monday at Venus Beach Marbella, has condemned the local authorities for not being prepared for such an emergency.

As Andrew Broughton (pictured with his wife Michelle) battled the waves in an attempt to reach the drowning boy, Michelle was on shore screaming for assistance.

Two students aged 18 and 19 and their 30-year-old teacher died in the incident. They were part of a large group of Turkish visitors on holiday in the area, who decided to go for a swim with tragic results.

Although people sunbathing on the beach originally thought the bathers were playing about as they waved their arms in the air, they

soon realised the group was in trouble and rushed to help.

Another 16-year-old boy was taken to the Costa del Sol hospital and

at the time of going to press was said to be in a serious but stable condition.

Flamingos flock back to Malaga

FUENTE de Piedra Nature Reserve in northern Malaga had just enough rain in March to ensure the flamingos would be back in force to breed this year.

The level of water in the wetlands has risen by seven centimetres, just enough for the birds’ breeding requirements. This creates islands on the reserve where the birds can nest in safety and have plenty to eat during the laying and incubating phases.

Birds traditionally flock to the protected area from the end of March onwards, and at this time 31,448 have been registered, including 7,249 breeding couples.

Tracking rings fitted to the birds have revealed that 80 per cent of those present were born at the Malaga lagoon, while 16 per cent have come from the Camargue in France and the rest from other areas of the Mediterranean.

Malaga Province to share €26m MALAGA Provincial Council has announced that €26 million funding will be shared out between its 103 municipalities for new building projects.

The Extraordinary 2015 Investment Programme is expected to directly generate 600 jobs solely from these new plans.

The council president, Elias Bendodo, explained to local mayors

and councillors that all municipalities in the province would benefit from a share of the pot aimed at rebuilding or improving local amenities.

The money comes from savings made last year by the council, and as in the previous year, will be ploughed back into local community project development, according to population size.

Municipalities can now present the projects they would like to be financed by the programme, which must meet requirements. Any new projects cannot have a life expectancy of fewer than five years.

Each local council may submit up to three projects with a minimum cost of €15,000 each.

Any plan of work cannot be reviewed or changed once approved. aaltair / Shutterstock.com

Book day

BENALMADENA is celebrating International Book Day with a number of events this week including a Book Party at Arroyo de la Miel public library Saturday, April 18, at 11am.

Hopeful people MORE than 1,400 people sent in applications in just five days for 20 security guard posts on offer at the Pompidou Centre and State Russian Museums in Malaga City.

Bike day CYCLING enthusiasts can prepare their costumes for Arroyo de la Miel’s annual bike day, which is planned for April 26.

Three routes of varying difficulty are planned, and prizes will be awarded for the best costumes.

Temper tantrum A MUST-SEE: At least half a day will be needed to visit Park Guell.

Bringing Barcelona to Life BARCELONA is one of the most visited cities in the world. Its selection of must-see places will have you writing a list that resembles your last supermarket till receipt. But the first words you should pen ought to be, Gaudi’s Park Guell.

Park Guell is a landmark in Barcelona. Designed by Antonio Gaudi, one discovers the beauty of Gaudi’s vision of the world. The park, containing areas like the Hypostyle Hall, Esplanade or the Salamander, will perfectly illustrate the spirit and beauty of his work.

Gaudi was strongly influenced by natural shapes and used them in his pieces, Park Guell was commissioned by Eusebi Guell who simply wanted to create a stylish park for Barcelona aristocracy.

Quote of the Week People that pick on my rap video are more old-fashioned than corduroy,’ said Partido Popular politician Jose Antonio Monago about people who have criticised a video included in his campaign material to attract younger voters.

The park contains amazing stone structures, stunning tiling and fascinating buildings that will stretch your imagination. There is something rather hypnotic and magical about his dragon fountain at the entrance to the park.

The ornate dragon is adorned in beautiful coloured tiling and is poised to welcome you.

The columns of the Market Hall are world famous, and were once described by Salvador Dali as the precursor of surrealism. There is also a small house in the park which Gaudi lived in at one stage. The house has now been converted into a museum and contains furniture also designed by Gaudí.

Due to park Guell’s location and size, you’ll need at least half a day if you want to see it all in one trip.

Desperate mother thrown out of home A MOTHER of two has been left on the street after a bank repossessed her home yesterday.

The woman and her children, aged six and eight, had been living in the Arroyo Judio area of Estepona for eight years.

They were evicted by police in spite of the approximately 100 people who gathered outside the building in an attempt

to stop them.

After explaining that she had been unable to keep up with mortgage payments after her partner left her six months ago, the desperate mother said she would spend the night at a hostel.

She added that she had no idea where the family would go after that as she was unemployed and unable to pay rent.

ITH the seemingly large amount of fatal accidents appearing in the media recently, it would appear that the world we live in can be a very dangerous place.

It also seems more should be done by somebody to make sure these accidents don’t happen. We agree! Somebody should be responsible. That someone is us! Health and Safety are not just words on the back of some official’s jacket, Health and Safety should be everybody’s responsibility.

Common sense is the best weapon in fighting accidental injuries. Common sense is free and we all have it. Just because there isn’t a sign every five

metres along a cliff edge saying ‘Don’t jump, you’ll die’ doesn’t mean that you will live if you jumped off.

Spain is not Britain, the Spanish have for many years learned the dangers of their surroundings. They don’t go into the sea if they cannot swim, they don’t speed around winding mountain roads, and they’ve never needed signs to tell them that.

A downside to being British is that for the same amount of years, we have been indoctrinated with ‘signage’.

We are used to living with signs that tell us to do everything. If we look at how many signs there are on just one road in the UK, we start to realise how much we expect them to be everywhere we go.

Where were the lifeguards? asks hero Briton’s wife From Front Page Meanwhile, the authorities are working to get the rest of the group and the bodies of the deceased back to Turkey.

Engineer Andrew, from Portsmouth, and his wife Michelle were sunbathing when a group of people in their late teens started shouting and screaming out at sea. They quickly realised that something was wrong. “It was obvious straight away that the group were a school for the hard of hearing or something,” Michelle said, “they were screaming for help!”

Without a second thought Andrew launched himself into the sea, grabbing a lifebuoy from a bystander as he went. “The only thing I could see as I ran into the waves was a guy on a surfboard with two people about 100 metres out,” Andy said. “It wasn’t until I got up close to him that I spotted another swimmer a little further out. A decision had to be made, do I stay and help the surfer, or try and save the third?”

Andrew’s eyes welled up as he explained: “The two on the board had the surfer to help them, so I carried on to the lone boy.”

Andrew is big guy, with a big heart. This gentle giant, in his early 30s, is an ex-rugby player at the peak of physical fitness.

There couldn’t have been anybody better suited the task.

SCENE OF TRAGEDY: Venus Beach in Marbella, where three tourists lost their lives.

He continued: “My one thought was to get to the boy, but the current was so strong it was taking everything I had just to reach him. When I did, he was face down and lifeless. I wiped his face and gave him mouth to mouth before realising that if I didn’t get him back to shore quickly, we could both be in trouble. I was so tired, exhausted; fighting the current took more out of me than I thought.”

Michelle, watching from the shoreline was becoming increasingly worried. To compound her state of panic, no emergency services had turned up.

She remarked: “There was no lifeguard, no rescue boat, even when the police did turn up they

didn’t do anything.”

Once Andrew had got the boy through the ring he started to make his way back to shore.

“I dragged him at an angle into the current to try and get back to the rocks. My only thought now was ‘I have to get this boy’s body back to shore’. Adrenaline was the only thing keeping me going,” Andrew recalled.

Fortunately, while the police were awaiting for an ambulance on the beach, a soldier from Gibraltar, Tony Gaul MBE, saw the commotion and dived in to help him. Andrew was at the end of his resources as Tony grabbed both him and the boy and dragged them onto the beach. “I’m so glad he was there,” Andrew said, “I

can’t thank him enough.”

Michelle’s relief was only matched by her frustration, while she watched her husband and Tony giving the boy’s lifeless body CPR. Thanking the stars that her husband was safe, she was perplexed that it seemed to her that the authorities were totally unprepared to handle an emergency, which in a seaside town should be second nature to them.

She said: “I cannot believe that they don’t have lifeguards or a lifeboat. It’s disgusting that the tourists have to put their lives on the line to help people in danger.”

Police warn of card thieves THE National Police have issued warnings about a criminal gang stealing bank cards in the area.

They are believed to be targeting elderly people in particular and using a sneaky method to steal cards while owners are using cash machines.

While one of the gang stands close enough to see and memorise the PIN number, another drops something at the victim’s feet and points it out.

While the card owner bends down to pick it up, another member swaps their card for a similar one and the gang, which now has the card and PIN, later withdraws as much cash as possible on a daily basis.

Five cases are currently being investigated, one of which involves a 74-year-old man who saw €4,655 disappear from his account, and another a 61-year-old woman who lost €16,000.

Police are warning cash machine users to cover the keys when typing in PIN numbers to ensure nobody else can see, cancel cards immediately after suspicious events and keep a close check on account movements.

New route for donkey taxis

A NEW ITV (MOT) centre opened at GuadalhorceLos Prados (Malaga) appears to be finally reducing waiting lists for obligatory motor vehicle tests.

The Junta de Andalucia regional government set up the new temporary centre as an emergency measure following numerous complaints by car owners of waits of up to one month for appointments, and the situation is gradually improving.

Waiting lists for the old two centres in the city have reportedly been reduced while at the new centre on Calle Carlo Goldoni appointments are available almost immediately.

Meanwhile, a centre currently under construction in Mijas is due to open mid-2016, aiming to save thousands of Costa del Sol vehicle-owners from having to drive to Malaga to have their vehicles tested.

Training scam case

SPEED CHECKS: Officers work to ensure limits are respected.

Speeding under the spotlight

THE DGT Spanish traffic authorities are running a campaign this week to fight speeding.

Speed checks will be run until Sunday, April 19, and will be concentrating particularly on secondary and urban roads with officers working to ensure speed limits are respected. Stretches of minor roads where

speed limits are known to be ignored and accidents caused will be under the spotlight in an aim to reduce speeding and raise awareness of the dangers of not respecting the limits.

Almost 20 per cent of accidents with victims on Spanish roads in 2014 were caused by speeding.

JUDGE Mercedes Alaya is accusing the former manager-director of CIO Mijas hostelry training centre in an ongoing training scam case.

The Sevilla judge in charge of the case believes Jose Gutierrez Muñoz may be guilty of corrupt practice, misappropriation of public funds and grant fraud as the management allegedly held back more than €3 million in government grants for training courses between 2008 and 2010.

Although Gutierrez was not remanded in custody after declaring at the court in Sevilla on March 25, he can be expected to appear in court again to face charges of involvement in decisions to keep back funds.

Mijas 30 years on, ‘an example of harmony’

By Steve Walsh THIS year sees the 30th anniversary of the Mijas Foreigners Department. A momentous occasion that will witness them celebrating the essential service they have provided over that period.

The town hall’s ‘Departamento Extranjero,’ has shown in that time that beyond a doubt, multinational harmony is not only possible, it has been achieved.

We spoke to the department head, Anette Skou, who told us, “As well as a full programme of activities throughout the year that have been arranged to mark this milestone, a special presentation ceremony will take place in the main auditorium of the town hall on April 28. We have invited the mayor and other local councillors, as well as representatives of the British Consulate.”

Also expected to attend the event will be, amongst others, se-

“Mijas is a large area,” Anette said, “Integration has always been our primary aim. There are believed to be some 86,000 people living and working in the district,

and about half of them are expatriates of one nation or another.

That’s around 40,000 people that need help and advice, activities and information, or maybe even just someone to talk to. We have different communities of Scandinavians, British, Spanish, and Ger-

mans dotted all over the place, so as you can imagine, that’s quite a task for just the three of us!”

Danish born Anette’s warm and friendly approach to all enquiries is not a product of her training, it’s a direct result of her 30 years devotion to a belief that the integration into the Spanish way of life for expatriates, should be a smooth and pleasant transition.

Having been with the department since its conception in 1985, Anette and her team have played a vital role in Mijas growing into the thriving district for tourists and residents we see today.

Dune protection project ready to go WORK is set to start on the Artola Dunes near Marbella. Due to take eight months and cost €1.1 million, the work has been awarded to Assignia and announced in the Official State Bulletin (BOE).

The project includes creation of paths and wooden walkways for all visitors to walk in the area and reach the beach while stopping vehicles from entering, thus protecting the nature area.

Wooden litter bins, benches and informative signs will be put in place to encourage visitors, and car parks are also planned outside the dunes themselves.

One of the most important aspects of the projects is to replant native vegetation and eliminate invasive species, and extra trees are also planned to be planted around the edge of the dunes to further protect the area.

One million euros Patience to improve access for works A TOTAL of €1.1 million was allocated by the Malaga Provincial Council for a comprehensive series of improvements carried out on the main access route to Coin.

Plans have been to improve the area’s appearance and road safety, as well as repaving work and the construction of a bicycle path.

Head of the Provincial Council, Elias Bendodo, together with the town mayor, Fernando Fernandez, visited the area and explained the water and sewage systems had been also renovated, to try to alleviate flooding problems.

RENOVATION works are underway on Calle Albaicin in Alhaurin el Grande.

The work has a budget of €280,000, part of which was provided by Malaga Provincial Council, to renew pipes and pavements.

Residents have been asked to be patient as the work will take six months.

Men’s long distance fundraiser TWO Malaga men in their 60s have decided to do the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage to raise funds for children.

Always a physical challenge, the pilgrimage is sure to be even tougher if one intends to do the 1,520 kilometres from Le Puy En Velay in France to Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain mostly at a run.

Yet that is exactly what doctor Roman Manteca and retired businessman Pablo Chica are intending to try and do.

The pair are selling ‘charity kilometres’ at €5 each and will be donating the money raised to Luis Olivares children’s foundation.

Setting out on April 16, the men are expecting to cover an average of 50 kilometres a day, many of them at a run, and (rest days included) hope to reach Santiago on May 21.

CHARITY WALK: Helping to raise money for a good cause.

Positively Pink walk on the boardwalk ANOTHER successful walk was done to raise money for charities Positively Pink and Positively Blue on Saturday April 4 along the boardwalk from El Oceano Restaurant to La Cala.

A MAN whose online petition received more than 10,800 signatures has been informed that a fine of almost €5,000 he faced for selling bread has been cancelled.

As recently reported in EWN, Ricardo - a 50-year-old jobless man from Malaga - had been fined €3,301 in 2012 for selling bread without a licence at local markets. Although he had explained that he had no income and was unable to pay the fine, but willing to carry out community work to pay for his so-called crimes, the Junta de Andalucia regional government had refused the proposal.

Now the council has stepped in and arranged for the fine, which including interest amounted to almost €5,000, to be cancelled.

“I want to thank the authorities for getting involved,” Ricardo said after receiving a call with the good news.

The grateful father also wished to thank everyone who had shown support over the internet and explained that people from as far away as South America had been in touch.

“People told me to open a bank account for them to make donations to, but I wasn’t looking for charity, just support,” Ricardo explained.

Can community Theatre birthday presidents receive celebrations begin remuneration?

THE Horizontal Property Act remains silent on this point as it neither endorses nor bans it.

Case law, on the contrary, is more specific, giving the following clues: The Appeal Courts of Malaga, the Balearics and Tenerife have declared that presidents cannot have a fixed remuneration although […] they may be compensated for the costs and trouble inherent to carrying out the job of president.

The Appeal Court in Las Palmas deals with a case where although statutes specifically state that the president of a specific community will not generate remuneration […] this prohibition is not incompatible with covering representation expenses, more or less modest, against submission of receipts or invoices for the most relevant expenses.

The Appeal Court in Granada is more restrictive and states that […] whilst prima facie the job of president is pro bono, such mandate is not incompatible with receiving, exceptionally, consideration by the community.

In this case, an AGM resolution

where the president was exonerated of paying his monthly fee was deemed void because […] one thing is to be reimbursed in expenses and a different one is to exonerate the president from paying… concluding that the resolution […] altered the coefficients of ownership within the community of owners… and a professionally remunerated administrator can do this job.

With regards to the required quorum in an AGM (Annual General Meeting) or EGM (Extraordinary General Meeting) - as the case may be - most courts consider that a resolution to grant a regular remuneration requires unanimous consent, if it goes against the Statutes or Articles (because they stipulate that it is an unpaid job), whereas a resolution to simply cover representation expenses can be decided by a majority of votes, irrespective of what the Statutes or Articles state.

OBITUARY FRED WALLIS, a long-standing member of the Costa del Sol expatriate community, sadly passed away on April 11 at the age of 87.

Originally an engineer, he worked in real estate after moving to Spain and was very much involved in the International Theatre Studio amateur dramatics society.

Fred’s other great contribution to life on the Costa came through his membership of the Anglican Church. He regularly attended services in San Pedro and edited its magazine for many years, and also organised the annual International Carol Service each Christmas, bringing together congregations of English, Spanish and German worshippers.

Fred was married twice. His son from his first marriage, Christopher, sadly died early leaving a wife and three children, Fred’s grandchildren. His second wife, Gisela, predeceased him during their life together in Spain. The eldest of a family of five, Fred is survived by two sisters, Gwen and Joan.

To those who knew him, Fred was an unforgettable character. Single-minded to a degree, he was at times capable of infuriating his colleagues. He was nevertheless widely respected and fondly regarded. Capable of great charm and old-world courtesy, he will be sorely missed.

Judge authorises ETA extradition A BRITISH judge has authorised the extradition of ETA terrorist Antonio Troitiño to Spain to face charges for belonging to the terrorist group.

Troitiño was behind a terrorist attack in 1986 on a Guardia Civil bus in Madrid’s Plaza de la Republica Dominicana during which a dozen officers died and more than 50 people were injured.

After his release from jail for that crime, Spanish prosecutors believe he rejoined ETA, and have requested his extradition on that basis.

Judge Howard Riddle from Westminster Magistrates Court rejected a second charge of which Spain accused Troitiño, that of faking official documents for allegedly holding a false passport

WESTMINSTER JUDGE: Authorised the extradition. when he was first arrested in London in June 2012.

Upon giving his decision, the judge said he was rejecting the second charge due to lack of evidence that the crime was committed in Spain.

A spokesperson from Troitiño’s defence said

that he intends to appeal to London’s Supreme Court.

Defence lawyer Mark Summers stated that the charges against his client had political undertones, which public prosecutor Ben Lloyds, who represented the Spanish authorities, denied.

Iberia delivers on time IBERIA and Iberia Express were the world’s most punctual airlines in February.

The principal airline and its low-cost subsidiary Iberia Express operated 92.3 per cent of flights on time in February, found flight-monitoring service Flightstats. Only 55 per cent of flights were on time in 2009 but

Iberia is now consistently ranked amongst the top three airlines for punctuality.

Iberia Express heads the list of the budget airlines.

Good timekeeping is at the heart of the restructuring that began when Iberia merged with British Airways to form IAG in January 2011, the

Renfe fails to balance books SPAIN’S rail operator Renfe was €208.9 million in the red last year, nine times more than 2013’s figure.

A record 29.67 million passengers used the AVE high-speed network in 2014, bringing a net profit of €9 million.

There was an overall 4.7 per cent jump in passenger traffic earnings and goods transport increased by 12.5 per cent.

Turnover grew 5.7 per cent to €2.966 billion but overheads increased by 7 per cent to €2.751 billion and pre-tax profits of €214.6 million were down 9.3 per cent.

Track operator Adif accounted for more than half of Renfe’s losses with

a 22.2 per cent hike on its levy for using tracks, stations and infrastructure.

This cost the company €607.4 million last year, €110 million more than in 2013.

Renfe’s involvement in the Mecca-Medina AVE project incurred €21.7 million in bank charges, a sixfold increase on the previous year.

Redundancy payouts cost the operator another €29.7 million although the company was able to cut personnel costs by 1.8 per cent.

Savings of 8.6 per cent were made on services aboard trains but energy and fuel costs increased by 4 per cent.

company said.

Nevertheless, Madrid-Barajas airport, Iberia’s centre of operations, also contributes to punctuality.

The airport is not used to full capacity and Iberia now has fewer routes with few connections to over-stretched airports like Heathrow.

Positive result THE Export Price Index for industrial goods last February rose year-onyear by 0.4 per cent, the first positive February figure since 2013. Imports of manufactured goods fell by 5.5 per cent.

Happy staff JOB satisfaction amongst Spanish employees rose for the second consecutive three-month period. Seven in every 10 people responding to a Randstad survey were happy in their jobs.

Jobs upswing continues THE 160,000 jobs created in March provided the best figures for this month since 2001 when records began.

Almost a third of the new jobs were in hotel and catering, where the sector geared up for a relatively early Easter. Construction was the next-best employer as the building trade gradually starts ticking over once more.

The only sectors where the Social Security system lost contributors last month were coal-mining, energy supply and international organisations, sectors with scant repercussion on the labour market.

This repeated the pattern of the last year with only electricity, gas, and coal missing out on the bonanza, together with agriculture, fisheries and the banking sector.

meters are out on the street, so these thieves really did their homework, figuring out which of the old buildings in the city still had electricity meters inside the apartment.

Crime like this is nothing new, but it is scary because it is so cleverly unexpected. This man in

question, through no fault of his own, opened the door to these criminals and invited them in. It highlights, however, that we need to be extra vigilant about these sorts of things.

If you receive an ‘official’ letter saying someone will come to your home, double check with the company, for example, that it is indeed a genuine letter.

Identity theft is another huge business. So, to protect yourself, it’s a good idea to invest in a paper shredder. Monitor your bank and credit card statements and never give out personal information over the phone to someone who initiates the contact with you.

Also, when was the last time you changed the PIN on your debit card or the password for online banking? Make it a point to give your access information an update this month. Yes, it can be hard to keep track of all those passwords and PINs, but experts recommend changing them twice a year, even if your accounts haven’t been compromised.

BUSINESS EXTRA

Strike a light HOUSEHOLDERS are paying 12.7 per cent more for electricity than in 2014, calculated consumer association FACUA. During the first quarter of this year an average bill increased from €66.33 a month to €74.73, prompting FACUA to call for “decisive” government intervention to ensure that users are not victims of restricted choice.

Half-covered SPAIN has the world’s fasted 4G mobile phone connection with an average 18mbps compared with 17mbps in Denmark, Finland and South Korea, said OpenSignal, a company that maps wireless coverage. In contrast, coverage is low and 4G is available only 52 per cent of the time that users are connected.

Is social media really the answer?

WHILST conventional media embraced change such as online publishing, the business community was quick to see the potential in social media.

An online forum presence certainly has potential due to its immediacy and flexibility of advertising. It should present a challenge to conventional print classifieds and community interplay. Does it?

With a few exceptions, forums have failed due to many being managed by hapless moderators or failure to utilise their commercial potential. Many social forums boast thousands of subscribers.

In practice, as few as 30 or 40 regular posters keep a forum going as the disillusioned wander off. Little traffic is produced. As a consequence commerce

shuns social forums.

On the face of it a local online forum should be a perfect free opportunity for any specialist business to keep the community better informed, assist those with queries, and reap customer enquiries that result.

In principle fine, in practice fail.

This is where the Achilles heel of social networking collapses. Social Forums lack community credibility due to their lack of accountability. Profanity and abuse disguised as banter proliferates.

This is not helped by their determination to actually approve of posters anonymity. Can you imagine a newspaper allowing anonymous correspondence? No wonder newspaper advertising department heads smile as they continue to dominate advertising media.

The business world is made up of a pretty mixed bunch. There’s the good, the bad and those so ugly that only a mother could love them.

I ask genuine specialists with an excellent business reputation if they have considered advertising or contributing in social media forums. Without exception they shudder at the suggestion.

The problem is two-fold. An armchair forum critic can sabotage a firm’s reputation by a caustic and uninformed riposte to a genuine piece of advice given.

All businesses have rivals, some of whom are hostile. Sheltering behind anonymity, such rivals can easily undermine the credibility of a competitor.

In conclusion, advantages offered by conventional news media, both hard copy and online, suggests their supremacy will remain unchallenged by social media.

MARTIN PODZORNY / SHUTTERSTOCK.COM

Martyrdom is a ridiculous doctrine LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

I

MUST confess that I find it extremely difficult to get my head around this ‘martyr’ business.

In the wake of the latest slaughter committed by those ‘brave’ followers of the Islamic ‘religion of peace’ against Christian students in Kenya, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, stated that the dead were ‘all martyrs’ and that Christians should ‘always use non-violent resistance against jihads’.

He was echoing the Pope’s Easter message, which decreed that Christians did not need to employ violence, and should ‘simply speak and act with the power of truth, beauty and love’. Fine words indeed, spoken from the lofty portals of the

FINE WORDS: Pope Francis’s Easter message would not resonate with everyone.

Vatican or Canterbury Cathedral, but frankly standing in a dusty street, surrounded by the rubble and the beheaded bodies of your family, I would find it a bit difficult to turn the other cheek to a baying horde of maniacs bearing down on me with sabres and machetes – martyr or no martyr!

The irony is that jihadist attackers also want to be martyrs.

Everyone wants to be a martyr!

So what happens when we all inhabit this imaginary, ethereal world of paradise, peace, love and virgins? – the War of the Martyrs? It is of course a ridiculous doctrine. This is, I believe, the fallacy that will finally defeat

the IS fanatics and their supporters. The gift of the creator is not the gift of death, it is the gift of life. An army which fights with the fear of death, is far more dangerous than the army which welcomes it.

We must never weakly turn the other cheek. We must do everything in our power to give

the Islamists the martyrdom they so earnestly seek - by whatever violence at our command. It’s all these misguided morons understand.

All good-intentioned and peace-loving people must fight with everything they can lay their hands on, even if it is against moral judgment.

Only when we defeat the Satan of the East, will we be able to enjoy the true paradise that awaits us. The one we can create on this glorious planet of ours. Not as martyrs, existing in some fairy-tale Shangri-La while our miraculous temples of the soul are rotting in the ground, but as true children of the creator, enjoying the wonders of Earth. Readily available to all human beings that truly seek to enjoy peace, love and harmony with their fellow travellers.

A Russian takeover bid?

MIKE WALSH is again taking on the role of appeaser, 1930s’ style. As Goebbels said: “If you lie hard enough, everyone believes it.”

Mike asserts that “mainstream media seems to have toned down the anti-Nazi rhetoric.”

This is simply not true; the foul history of Nazism has never had more publicity, with hardly a day passing when we are not reminded of what Hitler did.

Mike’s only ‘evidence’ of proNazi activity is the commemoration of Latvians who fought alongside the Germans in the Second World War. Has he stopped to think why they did so? Has he forgotten that the USSR invaded the Baltic States in 1940, taking away their independence?

No wonder that Balts took advantage of the German invasion of the USSR in 1941 to try to win their freedom back. The Baltic States today have every reason to fear a new attempt to swallow them into Russia.

Mike reminds us that Germany was the bad guy in 1939 – fair enough. But if Putin does not want to be compared to Hitler, why does he go on imitating him? His takeover of the Crimea was a shameless copy of Hitler’s takeover of the Czech Sudetenland first, and then the whole of Czechoslovakia.

For Sudetenland, read Crimea, and for the whole of Czechoslovakia, read Ukraine and the Baltic States.

History is indeed repeating itself; let us just hope that Putin will somehow be put off from carrying his Hitler-imitation through!

Car SOS. They showcase Britain’s car history in restoring old classics and the thriving industry of highly-talented companies and individuals with hands-on engineering expertise.

This may encourage young people in Britain to take up an engineering apprenticeship instead of going to university to study some obscure subject in the social sciences and waste three years philosophising.

Model state

Enough already!

I WISH that people like Cassandra Nash in her column would try to see the whole picture when reporting on South American politics.

In a recent column she castigated Venezuela as a totalitarian system. She must know that the late President Hugo Chavez and present incumbent, Nicolas Maduro, were both elected in democratically-held elections despite US attempts to destabilise them.

Even former US President Jimmy Carter said that Venezuela’s election process was the best in the world. It is precisely because some of the old political parties are seen to be tired and corrupt that new movements like Podemos and Syriza are becoming so popular.

When it comes to totalitarian systems we shouldn’t criticise too loudly. Which states in the world imprison people without trial, invade other countries and spy on their own citizens? I don’t think we should be too smug, now should we?

WHAT’s with all these stupid EHIC letters? The cards aren’t valid if you live here, they’re for tourists.

No more of it please! There are enough other issues for expats to deal with.

Driven crazy CONGRATULATIONS to Leapy Lee on a wonderful article – absolutely spot-on!

With reference to Jeremy Clarkson and the BBC Programme, Top Gear, they are dinosaurs that have been

operating the same format for the last 23 years.

Every week, two overgrown schoolboys and their verticallychallenged accomplice predictably present the same boring programme content, namely drag-racing two sports cars on an old airfield.

They compete against one another in a race from A to B in Europe in a car, train or Shanks’s pony. They get some B-List celebrity to drive a ‘sit-up and beg’ small family saloon around the same old airfield against the clock, with Clarkson’s same inane comment: “Going through the chicane.”

They take beaten-up old jalopies, weld on some steel and drive them to destruction in some God-forsaken place in Africa, Russia or South America where the local inhabitants think they are all nuts and should be certified.

Same old bloke in a space suit driving around the same old airfield (mind the old 747 Jumbo!).

If cars are your bag there is no comparison between Top Gear and two other interesting and educational motoring programmes, Wheeler Dealers and

NOT long ago I treated a dear friend and her family to dinner.

The bill for four of us only came to €82 and the standard was so high the waiters merited a good tip.

Having sorted out a €50 and two €20 notes to cover the cost I added €5 and some coins to mark my appreciation.

As we made our way out the waitress approached me and said I had given them too much money. I told her it was to show how much we all enjoyed the meals and their service.

I walked on out to my car and my guest followed but was stopped by the same waitress who showed her what I had paid. I had given her two €50 notes by mistake and she insisted that I took one back.

Such refreshing honesty renews one’s faith in human nature in these days where corruption and dishonesty fill hundreds of pages in our newspapers each week.

Needless to say, I shall return many times.

John Wilkinson, Playa Flamenca (Alicante)

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A friend of long standing comes up with some bright ideas to get you out of a tricky situation. Don't be surprised. You have for a long time now underestimated their worth. Your friend will be surprised when you show your gratitude in an immediate and physical way, but if there is anything better than finding a new friend it is finding an old friend has hidden talents.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) The company is so interesting that you can hardly tear yourself away and new experiences are arriving every day.

You could be forgiven for getting a little over-excited. When travel brings you face to face with a stranger, you find that a bit of information you hear has to be acted upon.

Any travel should be left until the beginning of next month if possible because there are likely to be delays and irritations.

‘Come back home!’ Cameron’s plea to voters, but not to illegal immigrants Nora Johnson

OR you, what are the big issues at the heart of next month’s UK general election? For many, they’re immigration, the economy and the NHS. But what we’ll inevitably see will be politicians talking at voters about their pet issues rather than debating policy amongst themselves, let alone listening to what Joe Public has to say. None of the mainstream parties speaks for a majority. None speaks from a position of strength because the mainstream’s exhausted and resorts to slogans and soundbites.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS: The UK can’t continue to be the world’s destination of choice, something has to give.

They’ll all be on the defensive about one issue or other; the Tories about immigration and the NHS, Labour about the economy while the Lib Dems have the ingenious idea of improving any government by blocking the oth-

er parties’ policies.

Well, let’s look at one of these issues from Joe Public’s perspective: immigration. Recently we learnt that 40 illegal immigrants are detained every day thanks to the ‘hostile environment’ the government has created.

What’s meant by ‘hostile environment’? Immigrants are detained and invariably released, so

back to business as usual? Perhaps they’re detained in an asylum centre with beds, showers, food and leisure facilities too?

Some have indeed had a hard life in their native countries. But wouldn’t it be better if they stayed and sought change there?

Otherwise those left behind genuinely seeking change have less of a say. Anyway, isn’t this the point of the UK’s foreign aid programme (itself due to outstrip the defence budget within 15 years, the UK already the world’s second largest aid donor)?

The UK can’t continue being the world’s destination of choice.

As a lifeboat, it’s already beginning to sink under the weight of these arrivals. Something’s got to give, otherwise everyone goes down.

We, the voters, can’t offer a handy cut-out-and-keep guide for the next government. Quite reasonably, it’ll view taking advice from Joe Public a bit like taking parenting advice from Britney Spears.

But our response to this is simple. If illegal immigrants can’t be deported immediately (it’s their Human Rights, stupid!), then threaten employers with very heavy fines, if necessary close their businesses. At least that would stop them employing illegals and help curb the flow.

But the most effective deterrent of all: withholding benefits?

Sorry, still a pipedream...

Yes, the parties talk a lot, but are they saying anything?

A look at the history of football in Spain

SHUTTERSTOC

By Tony Matthews

F

OOTBALL is the most popular sport in Spain that’s a fact!

The Royal Spanish Football Federation (Real Federación Española de Fútbol) is the national governing body and it organises La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the country’s national team, which won the European Championship twice (2008 and 2012) and the FIFA World Cup (in 2010).

Football as we know it today was introduced to Spain in the late 19th century by a combination of mostly British immigrant workers, visiting sailors and Spanish students who had travelled over from the UK. The oldest football club in Spain is Recreativo de Huelva which was formed on December 23, 1889 by Dr William Alexander Mackay and a group of British workers employed by the Rio Tinto Company.

Although records show that Gimnàstic de Tarragona was formed in 1886 and Sevilla FC four years later, these two clubs did not form an actual team until 1914 and 1905 respectively.

The first officially organised football match to be played in Spain took place in Sevilla on March 8, 1890, at the Tablada Hippodrome when the aforementioned Recreativo de Huelva played a mixed team of workers from the Sevilla Water Works.

K/MAXISP ORT

CAMP NOU: Barcelona’s cauldron of passion is La Liga’s biggest stadium.

RAUL: Real Madrid hero made league and cup appearance record.

HISTORY BOYS: Recreativo de Huelva, Spain’s oldest team, photographed in 1930.

With the exception of two Spaniards, both on the Huelva team, the other 20 players were all British-born, and consequently this is the main reason why Sevilla FC is so named and not Sevilla CF (‘club de fútbol’ in Spanish).

The selected Sevilla team won that first-ever game by 2-0 in front of 1,000 or so interested spectators.

In the Basque Country during the early 1890s, a group of British shipyard workers and coalminers formed the Bilbao Football Club, and soon afterwards, in 1898, a number of Basque students, returning from Britain, decided to form the Athletic Club.

This early British influence was reflected in the use of English names such as Recreation Club, Athletic Club and Football Club.

Real Madrid is the most successful Spanish and indeed European football club, in both the

national League (La Liga) and continental competitions.

The ‘Whites’ have so far won 10 European Cups/Champions League titles, including the first finals: 1956-60 inclusive, and have finished runner’s-up on three occasions.

Real (Los Blancos/Los Merengues) have also won a record 32 Spanish League titles (La Liga), lifted the Copa Del Rey 19 times, the UEFA Cup twice, the Supercopa on nine occasions, the Copa Liga once, the Intercontinental Cup thrice and the World Club Cup also once (2014).

CF Barcelona are (to the majority) regarded as the second most successful club in Spain in terms of La Liga victories (just 22) although they have won the Copa Del Rey more times than their El Clasico rivals (26).

Barcá are also well down the pecking order when it comes to European triumphs, only four

successes in the Champions League, plus four European Cup-winner’s Cup wins and three Inter Cities Fairs Cup victories.

In La Liga’s 83-year history (excluding the three seasons when the competition was suspended due to the Spanish Civil War), Real and Barcelona have won 54 titles between them.

Chasing the big two for prizes are Athletic Bilbao (31, including 23 La Liga wins), Atletico Madrid (20), Valencia (14), Sevilla (10, including one Europa League and two UEFA Cup final victories), Real Zaragoza (6) and Espanyol (4).

Barcelona’s Lionel Messi (although Argentinian) has scored more La Liga goals than any other player (258 and counting).

Raul amassed a record 771 appearances in League and Cup competitions for Real Madrid;

David Villa holds the scoring record for Spain at international level with 59 goals, while Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Castillas is his country’s most decorated player with 160 caps to his name.

The biggest stadium in Spain is the Barcelona’s Camp Nou with a capacity of 99,354. Santiago Bernabeu, home of Real Madrid, has a capacity of 81,044, followed by Sevilla’s La Cartuja (60,000), Barcelona’s second team ground (55,926), Valencia’s Mestalla, (55,000), Vicente Calderón, home to Atletico Madrid (54,907) and San Mamés, Athletic Bilbao’s ground (53,289).

Think tank guru sees a ‘New Monaco’ PROFESSOR Alejandro del Valle Galvez of the University of Cadiz, is a well-respected contributor to an influential foreign policy thinktank in Madrid. He believes that Gibraltar could be a new ‘Monaco of the Strait.’

As a recognised expert on the Gibraltar issue, Mr Del Valle said, Gibraltar policies from the ‘Transition’ period of Spain’s history should now be reviewed.

MONACO: Similarities to Gibraltar are not that far apart.

“A desirable situation would be the creation of a Monaco of the Strait,” he said.

It’s quite easy to see where he gets the ideas from, the similarities between what Monaco is, today and what Gibraltar could be in the future are not that far apart.

Monaco is a principality governed under a form of constitutional monarchy. Monaco is a full United Nations voting member

If Britain leaves the EU, will Gibraltar preserve its ties?

GIBRALTAR would seek to preserve its ties with the European Union if Britain voted to leave the trading bloc, Chief Minister Fabian Picardo said in an interview with the Financial Times on Tuesday, outlining the economic risks of an exit.

The comments come just ahead of the British national election, which will decide whether the country holds a referendum on its EU membership.

David Cameron has promised to hold a referendum by the end of 2017 if he wins the election, sparking concern among the UK’s constituent parts.

While a UKIP MEP for Gibraltar, Sir William Dartmouth, claims, “Gibraltar would be better off not being a part

of the EU,” saying continued membership meant a “permanent threat” to the Rock’s ability to set its own tax rules, others would argue.

Picardo said, “Withdrawing from the EU without negotiating a way to maintain access to its single market would be an ‘existential threat’ for Gibraltar’s economy.”

“If one part of the UK decides that it wants out of the European Union, then the negotiations should involve each of the separate parts being able to remain with a different degree of membership,” Picardo added.

The underlying question regarding the referendum seems not so much will there be one or not, or even will the

UK be in or out, it centres around the grey area of, ‘how will the ref-

erendum be conducted,’ and will each constituent part be given an option.

since 1993. Despite Monaco’s independence and separate foreign policy, its defence is the responsibility of France, and has two small military units.

Monaco’s mild climate, splendid scenery, and gambling facilities have contributed to the principality being a premier tourist destination. The state has no income tax, low business tax, and is well known for being a tax haven.

ACK in nineteen hundred and freezing cold, when I lived briefly in Pennsylvania, I took myself along to the local movie theatre one night to see a film that was getting lots of rave reviews in the American press.

The film was Death Wish.

It’s the story of a man in New York City, whose wife is murdered by muggers when they ransack his apartment, leaving his traumatised daughter in a catatonic state. He then embarks on a one-man vigilante killing spree on the streets of the city.

What amazed me at the time was that after each mugger was shot, the entire audience in the theatre leapt to their feet and applauded loudly. It emphasised in no uncertain way just how brassed off the American public

CHURCHILL: If ever we needed a man or woman like him, it is now.

were with the problem of violent crime, and the failure of the police to get to grips with it.

The main character, Paul Kersey aka Charles Bronson, became an immediate hero and it was understandable.

Unfortunately in 2015, we are sadly lacking in heroes. I’m not necessarily talking about blokes who go around bumping off muggers, but genuine role models for those of us who still hold dear traditional values.

But the definition of the term hero has degraded into the perverted worship of disgraced politicians; pop stars who make tawdry assignations with strangers in public toilets; chefs who are more renowned for their bad language than the food they prepare, illbehaved overpaid footballers, and socalled comedians whose only talent is to ridicule and mock.

Worse still, is that we do not have leaders who are prepared to make decisions on what is inherently right, but are diverted by political correctness or the need to buy votes with cheap, short-term policies.

If ever we needed a man or woman for our time, it is now. With standards degenerating, corruption among the ruling elite and police forces rife, and the world going to hell in a hand cart all around us, a champion of Churchillian proportions was never more needed. Someone who has been hitherto obscure perhaps, but who would rise dramatically to the frightening challenges facing us.

It’s hard to see where such a personality could come from.

The political landscape with it’s collection of incompetent and selfseeking misfits, is as barren as a eunuch’s Y-fronts and with a general election only weeks away, the prospect of such a figure emerging from the dross, looks bleak to say the least.

But in the unlikely event that this should happen, just like the audience in that Pennsylvanian theatre all those years ago, I believe the majority of decent people in our country would leap to their feet and applaud loudly.

Common causes of back pain

By Estelle Mitchell THERE are many daily activities which can cause or aggravate back pain. Here are some simple tips to make your daily life more comfortable.

How you stand Do you stand ‘model style’ with all your weight on one leg? Or are you a ‘duck’ with toes apart? Both poses can cause muscle tension in the lower back.

TIP Concentrate! If you’re cleaning your teeth or standing in a queue try and stand with your weight equal and your feet parallel.

Technology Desktops weren’t great for our backs, but laptops, tablets and smartphones all make us even more hunched over, looking at smaller screens and working away from a ‘proper’ desk and supportive chair.

TIP Sit with your elbows and lower back supported (backless bar stools are

not your friend!) and the screen lifted to eye height. Books or ring-binders are a great way to create this angle for laptops on a desk.

Your bra In a recent study 100 per cent of breast reduction candidates were wearing the wrong size bra. When correctly fitted their back pain diminished and they no longer requested surgery!

TIP Try to spend the time to get the fit right!

Sitting down When you sit you increase the load going through your spine by 300 per cent!

TIP Set an alarm and take a short walk or stretch every 20 minutes.

Shoes Yes, I know I’m obsessed! But the wrong heel can cause problems – too high and your pelvis tips forward, tightening your lower back muscles. Too flat and there is little shock absorption.

TIP Wear a low heel (about one inch or a thick trainer heel) or vary your heel height daily.

TOP TIPS ICE If you do hurt your back use an ice pack not heat to reduce inflammation and numb the area. Make sure not to apply ice directly to the skin!

MOVE Gentle daily exercise helps.

If back pain lasts longer than 24 hours always seek professional help.

I have to say that the side effects kick in about two to three days after the treatment now. I am left feeling listless, very achy and generally a bit wobbly.

Nothing that stops me from getting on with normal life, but the pace slows down greatly and I am far more susceptible to coughs and colds. Hence the hacking cough I have now, more antibiotics which I dislike, but

at least my temperature is under the dangerous 38 degrees mark. I am sure the battery in my thermometer is going to run out at any moment as I have to diligently monitor my temperature. If I hit the 38 degree mark then I have to go to hospital for tests as it is a sign of an infection that I might not be in shape to fight on my own.

Luckily I have avoided this as it would mean a possible hospital stay and put my treatment back.

I am now preparing for radiotherapy I was told that once I was in the last cycle of chemotherapy I had to ring the radiotherapy team at Carlos Haya to book my scan in preparation for the next stage of my treatment.

I called at the beginning of April and efficiently they called me back and I went in

on April 7 for a scan of my torso which then provided them with an idea of how to mark out the area to be radiated.

This type of CAT scan is painless as there is no intravenous dye used. You just have to strip down to your waist, in my case because my cancer was in the breast and armpit, and put your arms outstretched over your head, incline your head to the unaffected side and not move an inch.

After the scan the nurse came in and explained that they were going to tattoo me to mark out the zone that they would administer the radiotherapy to. The dye is permanent. So four little and quick punctures were filled with dye and I was done.

I had a chat with another nurse who explained the importance of moisturising in preparation for radiotherapy.

At this stage they couldn’t tell me how many sessions I would need. That would have to be discussed with my doctor. However, a mini-

mum of 15 and up to a maximum of 35 sessions were discussed. I have fair skin so it is likely that my skin will become red and irritated.

I was also given instructions on what not to do! No deodorant or perfumes or extreme water temperatures! So that’s the end to my scorching showers then!

And a whole host of other

I can’t use deodorant or perfume!

things and of course to avoid the sun.

I have to say though that I am really pleased with how things have been going although I don’ t have any concrete results of how my treatment has gone yet.

Finishing chemo will be such a relief. A little like a bored child… I have had enough now!

Yesterday was a day to forget about cancer and my

Gosh we all laughed so much and have put a date in the diary to meet again soon. Laughing is the best tonic ever.

The children dragged themselves out of bed today and rather like an adult who has to work, they too were pretty happy that it was Friday. Well that makes all of us then. Another week gone and I am not one to wish away my life, but the passing of time for us is all about life and healing.

The children have a great loss to come to terms with and I have a physical and mental battle which should be a much shorter ordeal.

My cancer is easier to deal with because there is something to be done and a process to go through.

Other key skills, including attention span and spatial awareness, were equally unaffected by pregnancy, according to the Young University study.

Losing weight the easy way HOLLYWOOD actress Jessica Alba is the latest A-lister to join the i-lipo fan club.

The celebrity-endorsed, state-of-the-art treatment offers inch loss, body shaping and contouring with no pain, no needles and no down time. It is now available at Costa Cosmetica Beauty. i-lipo caters to the busy individual who needs quick results yet can’t take time off work. It is the latest body contouring system manufactured in the UK and is the European leader and winner of the prestigious ‘Victoire de la Beaute Award, Slimming Treatment of the Year, Paris’.

So how does it work? i-lipo targets specific problem areas. Laser pads are positioned on the targeted areas like upper arms, chin, abdomen, or thighs. Instead of exercise reducing overall body fat, i-lipo can reshape individual problem areas. The low level laser creates a photobiomodulation effect, altering the cells’ chemistry and triggering a release of a lipase enzyme that can break down triglyceride molecules into fatty acids and glycerol molecules.

This process now makes them small enough to exit through your pores and be used as fuel by your metabolism. Naturally, your lymphatic system carries the cell contents and removes them. i-lipo maximises the body’s lymphatic

I-LIPO: Proven results. flow through stimulation of the nodes in your treatment area.

Exercise is recommended following treatment in order to metabolise the newly-released fatty acids and glycerol in order to remove them completely from your body.

The course of treatment should be eight sessions, performed twice a week so body reshaping can be completed in four weeks.

Only one area is treated per day in order to max-

imise the burning off of the contents; results can be seen immediately following treatment.

Typical results are a two to four centimetre loss in abdomen circumference after every treatment. Once a patient has completed a course of treatments they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle to maintain their shape.

So whether you’re looking to kick-start a slimming plan or target a few stubborn inches you can rely on i-lipo to deliver instant results that will keep friends and family wondering how you did it.

Cheap, foreign package holidays to blame for rise in skin cancer PENSIONERS are seven times more likely to develop skin cancer than they were 40 years ago.

According to Cancer Research UK, men aged 65 and over are around 10 times more likely to be diagnosed with malignant melanoma than those of their parents’ generation, and older women are about five times more likely to develop the disease.

Around 5,700 pensioners are now diagnosed with

melanoma each year in the UK compared with just 600 a year four decades ago.

The large increase is being blamed on the introduction of the cheap package holiday boom from the 1960s when more people were going abroad, unaware of the dangerous effects of the sun’s rays.

Scientists say that getting sunburnt once every two years can triple a person’s risk of developing the disease.

The moment life begins NEW technology is allowing parents to view the moment their baby is conceived through IVF. The video and photos available from the moment of conception are thanks to revolutionary technology that allows medics to record from fertilisation to the division of cells, right through to the growth of an embryo.

There are now around 150 couples in the UK who have used the EmbryoScope technology.

Professor Simon Fishel, head of the first clinic in Britain to use the EmbryoScope, said: “To be able to see this is absolutely wonderful science for us.”

More training in sleep disorders needed SLEEP disorders affect over 30 per cent of the Spanish population.

As a result, Alicante’s Sleep Unit at Vistahermosa Clinic organised a conference for medical staff to familiarise them with sleep medicine and how to approach a pa-

tient with sleeping problems.

“The sessions are intended to educate and train professionals in the detection of these disorders,” said Doctor Paula Gimenez, chief medical officer at the Sleep Unit.

She added: “There is little training in sleep medicine among

health professionals and this results in poor diagnosis and treatment failures, but the discipline has made great strides in the last 10 years.”

The Sleep Unit runs a series of tests to study sleep and what happens during it for a diagnosis.

Should the UK stay in the EU? TONY BLAIR, Britain’s former prime minister, has launched a major attack on David Cameron’s plan for an EU referendum in the UK. Do you think that the UK should leave the EU or is it better to stay in Europe?

Sammy and Paul, owners of Splash Pools Mijas on Costa del Sol, felt that that the UK had given too much in the past to other countries while barely looking after its own. “The UK should leave the EU and concentrate on improving the National Health System, education and so on. What other country refuses to pay for its own people’s needs such as the NHS and education while at the same time handing out to others? There is something very wrong with that.

“The only one we would vote for SAMMY & PAUL: UK should leave EU and concentrate on its own people.

STREET TALK is Nigel Farage of UKIP as we think he does talk sense,” they said.

But Betty Herr of La Cala Lions on the Costa del Sol disagreed. She remarked: “I don’t normally agree with Tony Blair but on this occasion I do. The impact of the UK leaving the EU would be dangerous and a lot of the smaller countries would suffer. It would definitely have its repercussions and do a lot of damage, so I think the UK should stay with Europe.”

Laszlo Miklosi also believed it would be better

BRIAN: Leaving would be bad for expats.

LASZLO: Unity is important. to stay in the EU: “In the end we all have to be one, everyone has to fight for the same future but if we are all in different groups it would be harder.” Originally from Hungary, the owner of La Campana in Quesada, Costa Blanca, said the EU had not necessarily helped Hungary, or people in the UK as it had just opened the doors for people to move there, but he does believe in bringing everyone together.“Unity is important,” he commented.

Brian Dulston of Aloe Vera Forever Living was an exLabour councillor for many years back in the UK. He said: “Well, I don’t believe the UK would be better off coming out of Europe. And for people living on the Costa Blanca, I think it would be bad for British expats, causing turmoil in Spain.”

Side-effects of Gurtel corruption A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene

THE appearance of big names in Valencian politics mired in the Gurtel corruption case was postponed until after the municipal elections.

This information produced more yawns than indignation although no tears will be shed if the businessmen and politicians involved go to jail. But this is not the only outcome of Gurtel - the German version of the surname of its prime mover Francisco Correa. The Gurtel investigation amputated some of the corrupt tentacles ensnaring public administrations, public figures and public contracts.

But as the Andalucia elections demonstrated, and as pollsters continue to predict, the fallout from Gurtel has changed the face of Spanish politics by breaking the PP-PSOE stranglehold on national politics.

Not all taxpayers within his own party and outside it will be happy to fund this humanitarian gesture.

Leading by example EURO-MP Juan Fernando Lopez Aguilar was the man who put his signature to the Anti-Gender Violence law in 2007 when he was minister of Justice.

His ex-wife accused him of “physical and verbal ill-treatment,” charges he denied in a Canary Islands court.

Guilty until proven innocent, Lopez Aguilar’s party PSOE membership was suspended as a precautionary measure.

No doubt Susana Diaz wishes the party would do the same with her predecessors Manuel Chaves and Jose Antonio Griñan.

The right way LIKE the Tories in the UK, the Partido Popular is regarded by many as the Nasty Party.

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT FLICKR

Cassandra Nash

DENIAL: Lopez Aguilar protests his innocence.

Wanting to be seen in a more empathetic light, the government announced that illegal immigrants will once again receive health care and not only

emergency treatment.

Since illegal immigrants can’t vote, this cannot be dismissed as a vote-catcher. On the contrary, it could cost Rajoy votes.

Cupboard love MARIANO RAJOY won the 2011 elections not because of his political image, but despite it.

After losing the 2004 and 2008 general elections he finally triumphed because the electorate blamed former president Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and not the international situation for the economic crisis.

They believed that Rajoy could solve their financial problems, returning them to pre2008 levels of prosperity.

Zapatero played it by the Keynesian book and failed. Rajoy played it Brussels’ way and Spain is on an even keel again.

That’s what Rajoy will say when campaigning. It’s an approach that might have succeeded if so many who voted for him weren’t worse off now.

She says: “Bread has little nutritional value and can harm growth, pollute waterways and attract rodents and other pests.

“Similarly, ducks should not be fed any products that are spoiled or mouldy; different types of mould can be fatal to waterfowl.”

There are other treats we can feed them as part of a healthy and nutritious diet. Ducks will eat a great deal of different foods, and

the best foods include: - Oats (uncooked; rolled or quick) - Rice (cooked) - Birdseed (any type) - Peas or corn (defrosted, no need to cook) Earthworms - Mealworms (fresh or dried).

How to increase the value of your property LAST week we talked about damp problems and how dealing with the fundamentals of your property has an immediate effect on increasing the value of your property.

This week we will talk about increasing the value of your villa.

Arrange for an independent surveyor to give you professional advice on the most important and cost effective ways to maximise the value of your property.

In my experience, one of the most successful ways of increasing the value of your villa is to extend the living space to the maximum allowed and completely refurbish the villa to modern standards.

If your villa is not in a gated community but your street could have a security barrier fitted, talk to your neighbours and share the cost of installing an automatic barrier; this will increase the value of your villa by offering extra security and privacy.

Tip of the week Extra quality living space adds value to your property.

If you have an older villa you could give your villa a total refurbishment, bring your living space up to

modern standards.

You could also increase living space by having a new extension built.

If you have a basement carry out a basement conversion for extra interior living space.

Convert small rooms into an open plan room on the ground floor.

Have a conservatory built for extra space.

Carry out a glass conversion of terraces for extra interior living space.

If your garage space is limited add a car port for extra parking.

Modernise kitchen and bathrooms.

Maintain the value of your villa.

Give your villa a regular fresh coat of paint.

Make the rooms look bigger and de-clutter.

Make sure everything works, give all electrical, air conditioning, plumbing, drainage and gas appliances an annual service.

One man’s junk is another man’s treasure MANY people dream of owning a classic Spanish farmhouse or a huge hacienda with sprawling grounds, while some pander after a white-walled cottage amongst the olive trees.

Buying a rundown country property for refurbishment at a bargain price and doing it up exactly the way you want it, would seem the perfect solution.

But will you be happy with it?

A great number of people have already taken the plunge and taken on the challenge of ‘Living the Dream’.

However, when looking at the fruits of their labour and deciding if it was all worth it, they seem to fall into two main groups: those who are happy with what they have achieved, and those that are not.

The primary issues that would appear to affect the final results are simply costs and taste. Some opt for the cheap and easy conversion or reform, while other people adhere to a strict plan of accurate reformation.

Going for the simple route, while achieving the

DREAM RESULT: Doing up a rundown property can have a great outcome. objective, the vast majority of renovations end up showing little evidence of the original fabric or feel of the dwelling, eroding the character of the buildings and discarding old doors and beams.

Often all they are left with is the original footprint and little more. The end result typically ends up an unsatisfactory, tacky, repetitive detailed and a bland, sterile building.

The more expensive option in both time and money, would be the true reformation of whatever

was originally there. Terracotta pan-tiled roofs and metre-thick stone limewashed walls that repel the summer heat. The small windows placed high up on the wall keeping out blinding light and unwanted creatures. Thick, castle-type panelled doors that breathe with the seasons. All these secure your home, making an intriguing piece of history liveable.

The reality is choosing the cheap way normally leads to slapdash conversions, unscrupulous promoters, ill-equipped archi-

tects, and worse. Sadly many buyers in Spain end up with unfulfilled dreams.

Taking on the dream doesn’t simply mean getting the job done. If time and money is spent on planning, advice, design and reclaimed materials, the builders have a chance of leaving the client with the product they were originally dreaming of.

And maybe spend the rest of their days sipping a glass of wine under a lavender-scented sky while the cicadas saw busily among the olive trees.

House sales still growing as market recovers THE number of property sales throughout Spain has now risen for six months in a row.

The number of house sales in Spain increased by over 15 per cent in February year on year, the largest rise in recent months.

According to data released by

the National Statistics Institute (INE) property sales have now increased for six consecutive months as the market gradually begins to recover from the huge crash that hit when Spain’s housing bubble burst at the end of 2007.

The rise can be attributed

directly to a 50 per cent increase in sales of existing homes where 21,613 of the 29,714 deals were done.

In contrast, sales of new homes dropped 28 per cent compared with the same month last year, with just 8,101 sales performed.

Herbs for the terrace, allotment and garden – a baker’s dozen for starters

Dick Handscombe

Gardening Corner

By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.

SINCE living in Spain herbs have featured in the plantings in the garden, experimental terrace gardens, builder’s bucket salad bars, our allotment when we had it, and the naturally occurring herbs left to grow wild on our naturally cultivated olive grove.

Knowing that space is a premium a baker’s dozen are described below. Why a baker’s dozen? Well my first Saturday job was to count up piles of 960 farthings and bag them for the bank at my father’s baking business.

Every 13th bag was my pocket and birthday

VERSATILE: Herbs are great for a wide variety of culinary and medicinal uses. money in the same way that in those days a 13th Easter hot-cross bun, doughnut or roll was free.

So to a selection of beneficial herbs: • Mint (perennial) – Best planted in a large sunken pot to control the expansive roots. Added to boiling water adds a

good touch to your new potatoes. Has several culinary and medicinal uses ranging from mint sauce to serve with lamb to a strong infusion in the morning after a night on the town.

If you hunt around, an interesting collection of mints can be built up with a diversity of leaf colours, scents and flavours.

• Stevia (perennial) – The leaves are very sweet and a great natural replacement for sugar.

Summer leaves can be dried for the winter months.

• Garlic (annual) – The healthiest vegetable/herb of them all

with a wide range of culinary uses and a useful insecticide in the garden as an infusion spray or growing in geranium pots or under rose bushes.

• Chives (perennial) – A row looks ornamental and a good addition to salads.

• Horseradish (perennial)– A couple of plants in the ground or large sunken pot can add zest to trout and meat dishes and grated the root can increase one’s metabolism after a gluttonous meal.

If you look at the labels on horseradish sauce bottles you will be surprised by the small percentage of horserad-

ish included and the range of other ingredients. So grow it yourself.

• Sage common (perennial) – Obviously for sage and onion stuffing. An infusion good for gums. The common culinary sage is just one of over 800 varieties of sage or salvias.

To understand what is available have a look at the catalogue of photographs and descriptions on the website of ’Robbins salvia’.

• Purslane ( annual but can self-seed for continuity) – An interesting addition to salads.

• Rocket (annual but late growing plants can also seed) – Adds a spicy taste to salads.

• Basil (annual) – Each year we grow a selection of the annual seeds from the interesting and long list offered

by Chiltern Seeds. Great with chopped tomatoes and salads.

• Perilla (annual but easily self-seeds for continuity) – Infusions are said to help hay fever

sufferers. Reputed to be useful for panic attacks such as the Sunday morning you find that slugs have eaten all the recently-planted lettuces overnight.

• Parsley (generally an annual but some varieties will over-winter) – Great with fish dishes and infusions useful for the wife’s cystitis.

• Comfrey (perennial) – A must for ecological vegetable growers, one can harvest several crops a year to put in a bucket of water for a month to produce a handy ecological fertilizer.

It’s also beneficial to wrap seed potato in a couple of leaves before planting; add some to the compost heap as an accelerator; use a poultice on a strained knee or ankle, or a gouty toe.

• Rosemary (perennial) – An important culinary herb and a perfect partner for many meat dishes.

Well that should get you off to a productive start. There are many more. Forty that we regularly use for cooking and various preventive health measures are listed in our book ‘Living Well from Our Garden Mediterranean Style’ available from Amazon Books.

Finally a few words of warning. Most annual herbs are best if not grown in full sun all day long as they can soon go to seed. ©Dick Handscombe www.gardeninginspain. com April 2005

Beetle mania at New York Show VOLKSWAGEN showcased four new versions of the stalwart Beetle at the New York International Auto Show.

Four new versions of the legendary Beetle car were revealed: two new coupés and two cabriolets. They have brought the bug into 2015 by further extending the Beetle line-up, and are offering a glimpse of the possible versions in the four concept cars.

The colour blue sets the stage in the concept car range with the Beetle Cabriolet Denim. The colour scheme is designed to match your old jeans. And that it does!

The stonewashed blue metallic paint and soft top in dark blue with a special fabric texture, will give the impression you’re putting

Mr Angry, he goes from zero to crazy in under 5 seconds

Why is it that people learn how to drive (almost), but don’t learn how to park? I’m sick and tired of looking for a parking space on a road with 'on street' park-

ing, and not being able to fit in because one car has parked in the middle of two bays. Or worse; abandoned their shoppingmobile at 45 degrees to everyone else!

Ooohh it makes me so angry!

BEETLE CONCEPTS: Revealed at New York Auto Show. on an old pair of Levi’s.

The Beetle R-Line Concept 1, on the other hand, is a mark above the others.

It clearly bends toward au-

tomotive sportiness, and is powered by a 2.0 TSI power train that produces 162kW of pulling power that makes sure it goes as

quick as it looks.

Also premiering at the show was the new Golf Alltrack, which aims to be a genuine trendsetter in the estate car series.

It is well equipped with 4MOTION all-wheel drive and an off-road driving profile as standard. Powered by a 1.8 TSI engine that produces 125kW, and combined with either a sixspeed manual gearbox or a six-speed DSG, it looks to make the wannabe 4x4 a worthy contender in the crossover markets.

THE increasingly popular Guardia Civil Facebook page N332 has just reached the 10,000 likes milestone, and its new linked website is almost as popular.

What started out as an idea by a couple of traffic police to offer help and advice in English on Facebook, has grown into a vital resource for information about driving in Spain.

Francisco Morales was the officer who controlled the Facebook page, and aided by other officers would answer many of the followers’ questions when asked.

The task grew and soon became a monumental effort. That’s when the independent journalist Mark Nolan started assembling a team to create the website N322.es , to alleviate some of the pressure on the traffic officers.

The website is now as popular as the page.

Lions Jack Nusbaum Memorial SATURDAY April 11, saw the La Cala Lions support the remembrance of Jack Nusbaum at the Parador Golf Club Torremolinos.

Jack Nusbaum sadly died aged 88 years old. Jack had devoted many years of his life to helping sight impaired golfers through his association SIGA, and latterly to providing golfing tuition and tournaments to young people with learning and physical disabilities, ‘Paragolf.’

All the juniors teed off at 10.30am to their normal nine hole game. Then back into the hotel restaurant for refreshments and a cup presentation.

This year was another enjoyable and bonding event between La Cala Lions and the Asociacion de Padres y Madres.

A fitting remembrance of Jack Nusbaum.

President’s Fours Final, Miraflores v Santa Maria

THE finals of the very popular knock-out competition at Lauro Golf Bowling Club, was contested by two teams that may not have been Bookies’ favourites at the beginning of the competition, but certainly ended up worthy finalists.

Miraflores BC and Santa Maria BC fours, both proved their strengths by beating some of the more fancied teams on their route to the final, and each deserved their chance to take the title home.

Team Miraflores consisted of Andy Salmon, Sandra Lewis, Jeff Turner, and Craig Lewis. Team Santa Maria fielded John Bell, Pam Hatton, Susan Walker and Chic Young.

The first end saw Santa Maria drop six shots, but their spirit was only dented as they pulled back, and by

The Lions for Lauro THE Lions League for 2014/15 have a new Champion, as the Lauro Golf Bowls Club became the Lions League winners.

This will be a year to remember as for the first time in their short history, they have topped the league. After an indifferent start to the season, and due to shortage of players, the team selectors were able to keep regular teams playing together, which resulted in the consistent performances needed to earn the league title.

In his first season as captain, Trevor Burgin announced he was pleased with the club’s achievements.
