Costa gearing up for a bumper summer EARLY bookings give hope that this year will be even better than last
By Eleanor Hawkins An early start to summer has got the season going on the Costa. Initial figures hint that already high expectations could be beaten.
The start of June has banished any thoughts that this year’s summer will not be a good one. Although 2014 will be a hard year to beat as tourism records were broken with more than 10 million visitors, early bookings are making those in
the industry think it can be done. Miguel Sanchez, tourism representative for the CEA Andalucian Businesspeoples’ Confederation, said between 30 and 40 per cent of Costa hotel beds were already booked for the next two months.

TWO Spanish teams took part By Eleanor Hawkins A GROUP of Malaga firemen have proved themselves to be some of the best in the world when it comes to rescues by coming seventh at Grimpday. Held in Namur, Belgium, Grimpday draws top rescue teams from all over the world every year to compete to see who is the best when it comes to rescues and this year a total of 39 competed to win. Just two Spanish teams, one from Malaga and one from Barcelona, were in the running at the tough competition, which included 10 different tests over two days. Rescuing a 350 kilo (fake) horse from water, a parachutist stuck dangling be-
tween trees and a highline rescue to be done in less than six minutes (the Malaga team took just two minutes 59) were just three of the tests, which 10 teams were unable to finish. While the top place went to a French team, the local group, which included firemen from Malaga and Mijas and a climbing instructor from Torremolinos, brought home a very respectable seventh place and are already starting to prepare for next year’s edition. As team leader Antonio Avila pointed out, the competition serves to better prepare rescue teams for their day-today work of saving lives and is a great way to pick up new ideas and techniques from teams from other countries.

ANGELES MUÑOZ: Her eight year stint has ended.
All will be revealed THIS Saturday (June 13), new councils are finally due to form and while in some Costa towns not much will change, in others it will be a case of out with the old and in with the new. Pacts and agreements have been hammered out since the May 24 local elections and
while some announcements have still not been made, a few changes of note can be reported. In Marbella, for example, Opcion Sampedreña decided to go with the left-wing to obtain a majority and end Partido Popular and Angeles Muñoz’s eight-year stint.
On Saturday, when the inaugural plenary session is held, socialist Jose Bernal will become the mayor of Marbella. At time of going to press negotiations continue in towns including Mijas, Benalmadena, Alhaurin el Grande and Malaga City.
Shops, bars and restaurants were forced to close, and angry business people shook their heads in despair as they thought of both the loss of income and the fresh and frozen produce they would be forced to throw away. Residents of local buildings, some 14 storeys high, were forced to climb endless flights of stairs in the dark. As locals questioned who would pay for their losses, the water company explained it would study claims and pass them on to its civil responsibility insurance company for consideration.
Hungry children are left out ONCE the school term ends on June 23, more than 4,600 children on the Plan SYGA guaranteed nourishment project will lose their three meals per day.

4,600 children will be missing out on free meals over the summer meaning most of the children who get free meals at school will be left out.
Equality and Social Policies delegate Daniel Perez said the budget of €290,000 would cover summer camps or schools and free meals for Malaga Province children from poverty-stricken families. Yet the measure is nowhere near enough, as it will leave more than 4,600 youngsters hungry.

A MARBELLA judge has found in favour of a Banco Popular client and ordered the bank to return €293 in commission charges. The sentence orders the bank to pay back 70 per cent of maintenance and administration fees applied to a savings account between March 2009 and December 2013. However, it turns down a request for €800 in damages stating there is no proof that moral or financial damage was caused. The client of the San Pedro de Alcantara branch had complained many times and been passed back and forth between the bank and customer services department to no avail. Lawyer Horacio de Leon-Sotelo said the sentence was very important as it backs up what many clients already know, that banks sometimes wrongly charge irregular and illegitimate commissions.

been treated, farmers organisation representative Francisco Boza said, and some owners have not yet checked all their trees. Producers are speaking of a lost year, and are aware that future crops will also be affected. They continue to ask for another insect, the Torymus sinensis, which is believed to combat the gall wasps and is being experimented with in Ojen, to be brought in, but this must be authorised by the Junta de Andalucia regional government.

EURO WOMEN PAGE
A prolific entrepreneur Our Euro Women series is featuring women who have made a success of their lives in Spain. These outstanding ladies have been shattering glass ceilings whether in business, charity work or sports. Karla Darocas, as well as running a successful business, has helped countless children with her charity work.
KARLA DAROCAS creates a first impression of boundless energy and enthusiasm for everything and everyone she meets. She is a prolific entrepreneur with a broad range of business ventures under her belt that include web-based businesses, teaching art history, galleries, networking projects and her current focus, CBWomen.com, which aspires to encourage and support women in business ventures in Spain. “Women are about so much more than just getting married and having some kids,” said Karla. “Women need to have this revolution going on that will enable them to start their own businesses. And there’s nothing wrong with wanting to have a family but it shouldn’t be all there is to life. Women need to be learning how to make a business work, generating a new economy of free-thinking entrepreneurs with independent ambitions,” she added. Karla came to Spain to spend some weeks completing her Art History degree by visiting the Museo del Prado in Madrid. She took a vacation in Javea, met her husband José and has been there ever since. She reflected: “I guess fate stepped in somewhere. What made me choose to study Spanish Art History? I don’t know. I never thought I would actually be teaching Art History in Spain, which is something else I am involved in. It brought me here and this is where I always want to be.” Karla believes her strengths are

certainly can’t talk business with them,” she remarked. The best time of her life, Karla said, was her honeymoon when she and José took off together in a 4x4 and spent six months exploring Spain.
One of her worst experiences was when she became ill with MS (multiple sclerosis) and spent years trying to recover from some terrible attacks, one of which left her unable to speak for four days.
“I am on sulphur now,” she explained, as casually as if she had been given aspirin. “It’s tough but hey, you get through the days. I’m too busy to be sick anyway,” Karla added. A big picture person or a detail addict? “Actually I am a big picture person in that I dream on a large scale and then throw myself into details to get it right and make my dreams happen.” Karla’s heroes are the artists she believes have had the biggest influence on her as an artist and photographer: Salvador Dali and Antoni Gaudi. And why does Karla love Spain? “Life is so free in Spain,” she said: “Freedom of movement, expression and so much love and energy, with great food, fantastic weather and with so many things to be grateful for.” In five years’ time Karla wants to be in Spain, still loving it and working at the things she loves best as an educator, an artist, a Blues aficionado and business entrepreneur.

Judge rules home stays COURT annuls council demolition plan By Eleanor Hawkins A MONDA family with seven children, five of whom still live at home, has won a threeyear legal battle to stop their home being knocked down. The father, Jose Maria Gonzalez, confirmed that a court sentence has annulled two council reports criticising his Vida en Familia (Family Life) project, which planned to create a farm school on land in Sierra Alpujata where the family lives. The family was facing a €325,250 fine and demolition for what the council deemed to be a serious offence against town planning regulations. Although Gonzalez insisted he had building permits, a municipal technician’s report
brought up queries about the project. “The report wasn’t right, it said I had built myself a luxury home and made me look like a real estate speculator,” the father said. The project included four bungalows (two of which the family is living in), a bathroom unit, stables and a kindergarten. The family was informed of the fine and demolition plans in 2012, and spent the following year negotiating with the town hall. In February 2014, after the council insisted on its intention to go ahead, they took the matter to court and collected signatures of support. Now they can finally sleep at night thanks to the judge’s decision in their favour.

Train station scuffle leads to arrest A MAN who claimed to have been attacked by a Renfe security guard after trying to peel a pear on the train in Benalmadena has been arrested. Although a video filmed by another passenger and shared on the internet showed the man being roughly handled by a security guard on the platform at Benalmadena station, there was more to the story, police sources explained. An official report lodged with the National Police by the security guard said the passenger on the Malaga-Fuengirola train brandished a Stanley knife in a threatening manner after the guard spotted the knife. After persuading him to get off the train, the man punched him in the face, the guard told the police, and presented them with a medical report. Presented with the guard’s version of events, officers tracked down and arrested the man for alleged threats and aggression.

Million-dollar tax fraud fugitive held

By Eleanor Hawkins A MAN has been arrested in Benahavis who is wanted in Florida in connection with a massive tax fraud. After tip-offs that the 71-year-old could be living on the Costa del Sol, a police investigation was mounted to track him down. The man has an international arrest order against him for allegedly failing to declare millions of dollars between 1999 and 2011. He provided a photocopied Guatemalan passport when asked to identify himself by National Police officers. TRADITIONAL: Performance by Flamenco Guitar School pupils.
Man hides from police in closet A MAN has been arrested in Malaga after allegedly threatening his partner with a knife and then hiding from police officers in a wardrobe. Officers were called to the scene by concerned neighbours who reported a loud argument and crashes, yet when they arrived outside the second floor flat and knocked on the door, the shouting ceased. After knocking repeatedly, a woman’s voice called out that she was fine but was nervous because she couldn’t find her anxiety pills, the Local Police reported. The woman said she couldn’t open the door because her son had locked it and taken the keys out with him, and that she was
alone inside. Yet the officers thought they could hear a man’s voice and called the fire brigade for help. Their suspicions were confirmed after a fireman talked the woman through how to dismantle the lock and she let them in. The flat was in a state of disarray, and the woman, who could not stop crying, gestured that somebody else was there. A man was found hiding in a wardrobe, and arrested after he tried to attack the officers. The woman later declared she had been unable to open the door as he was holding a 10-centimetre kitchen knife to her throat. The 35-year-old man, who was remanded in custody, was found to have a criminal record.

The Felipe VI Theatre will be joining celebrations for the weekend, with a concert by Calum from La Voz Kids TV competition on Friday 12 at 9.30pm. That evening, guitarist Paco Jimeno will also be directing a concert by Flamenco Guitar School pupils at El Patio at

Dance will also have a part in proceedings, with a show by classical Spanish dance and flamenco teachers Lourdes Barrientos and Lourdes Bazan at 8pm on Calle Villa on Friday 12, and a show by pupils from local dance schools at noon on Sunday 14 at the Plaza ABC. Displays of work by art workshops on the Friday, a free lesson on growing orchids, a municipal chess school tournament and a performance by theatre students on the Saturday are also planned.
Cocaine in cartons FOUR Lithuanian men have been arrested for suspected drug-trafficking after two of them were caught with cocaine hidden inside fruit juice cartons. Following a tip-off from Lithuanian police that the group was travelling to the Costa del Sol to collect drugs, the National Police force began surveillance. After seeing them divide into two groups upon leaving their hotel, officers followed as two of the men took a taxi to Malaga bus sta-
tion and bought tickets to Madrid. Thinking it suspicious that although they put their suitcase on the ground the men didn’t put their cartons of fruit juice down at any time, the officers decided to stop the men and have a look. They found the cartons had been filled with a kilo of cocaine. The pair were arrested on the spot and the other two members of the group stopped and a judge ordered that they be remanded in custody.

Beach bar owner fights for future EIGHT workers have remained out of work for the summer By Eleanor Hawkins A CASARES chiringuito owner is fighting for his future and that of his eight employees as the council wants to demolish the premises. Juan Jose Gomez was awarded one of four spaces put out to tender by the council eight years ago, yet had no idea that the fifth company that had
applied for a space and was turned down had taken the matter to court. Two years ago, a judge found in favour of the claimant, and Gomez received a letter from the council ordering him to remove his chiringuito. Now the council has said it intends to enforce the order. Yet the bar owner says he has no intention of leaving without
a fight, or at least compensation, and has announced that if necessary he will chain himself to the bar to stop demolition teams. Although the current battle has stopped the bar from opening this summer, leaving its eight workers jobless, the owner says he has hopes of sorting everything out and staying until his licence runs out in 2022.
Security guard arrested A SECURITY guard of a shop in Torremolinos has been arrested by National Police for allegedly stealing several times from his workplace.

anti theft tag when he was out of the surveillance camera’s view. He then sold items in second-hand shops, according to the police statement. The man had reportedly been carrying out similar activities for a year. An iPad and several video-games have been returned to the shop owners.

Motorbike riding techniques: Heavy traffic Motorbike riding in heavy traffic RIDING a motorbike safely requires both skill and judgement. But when riding in heavy traffic or in traffic jams, you need to be extra vigilant at all times especially when vehicles are slowing down or there appears to be overtaking space available on the right. I t ’s n e v e r s a f e t o o v e r t a k e o n t h e right, with passengers exiting taxis, vehicles turning right, or vehicles in front slowing down to let an oncoming vehicles turn left. In these cases the time required to brake safely is drastically reduced, even if you see the danger before it’s too late. In heavy traffic always drive slow enough to allow safe braking to avoid collisions. Tourist areas of town On entering these areas be extra aware of tourists and other pedestrians who are mo r e c o n c e r n e d w ith th e s ig h ts a n d sounds than following road safety regulations. Expect tourists to step out into the street without looking. And be especially alert when riding through these areas at night, when pedestrians under the effects of alcohol are an even greater potential hazard to road users. Eyes in the back of your helmet Tune your ability to anticipate what’s going to happen around you, be cautious, pay attention to oncoming cars and expect the vehicle in front to brake at any time without warning. Slow down at zebra crossings, intersections, and put your feelers
out to help maintain that sixth sense. Traffic lights Never stop in the middle of the lane at a set of lights, even if the road is free. Always come to a stop either to the left or right to let other vehicles, which may be braking suddenly to avoid the lights, pull up beside. This helps avoid collisions. A skill for life Motorcycling is a skill for life and like any skill needs to be practised and constantly improved. If you’re returning to motorcycling after a lapse, ease yourself back into riding slowly and consider taking out a refresher-training course. Every ride needs to be good and safe, think about when you have had near misses, been tired, distracted or angry at other road users, even stressed; all these day to day problems can affect your ability to ride and enjoy motorcycling.

One of most-fined cars is in Malaga A STUDY by Linea Directa Foundation has tracked down the cars that have clocked up the most fines in Spain, one of which was found in Malaga Province. Between them, the ‘top’ 10 vehicles, eight of which were registered in Madrid, one in Malaga and one in Sevilla, have accumulated 1,716 fines amounting to €162,656, the study found. Taking data regarding 770,000 traffic fines given to cars across Spain over the last five years, the insurance company, without naming drivers, has drawn up a list of persistent offenders’ vehicles. The top place went to a Volkswagen Golf owned by a Madrid driver, with a total of 266 fines amounting to
€26,590. Another vehicle in Madrid, a Citroen Xantia, collected 210 fines, totalling €29,108. “We assume they are people with nothing to their names, who don’t care whether they get one fine or a thousand, as they think they won’t have to pay,” the group that drew up the study said, explaining that 1.2 million drivers in Spain have been charged for traffic offences more than five times. Fines for speeding make up half the offences, the study found, followed by parking offences. The most-fined group was found to be made up of experienced male drivers aged between 35 and 44, and the average amount per fine was €208.

DRAMATIC PROTESTS: Many in Spain now brand the practice as barbaric.
Bullfighting: art or ritual torture? ONE of the most emblematic ‘rituals’ of Spain – and probably its most controversial – is bullfighting. For many it is an art form, for others a bloodthirsty form of torture. Steve Walsh takes a closer look at the subject. ALTHOUGH there are millions of bullfighting aficionados (fans) around the world who glory in the pomp and ceremony of an age-old Spanish tradition, there are equally as many - if not more - who are repulsed by it. Ernest Hemingway’s writings in the 1920s turned Pamplona’s annual fiesta of San Fermin from a local event into an internationally recognised spectacle that now attracts a growing million plus visitors each year. Sue Griggs from the Animal charity SOS Animals in Andalucía, told Euro Weekly News (EWN): “It makes me sick; bullfighting is simply wrong. It’s a cruel, antiquated and barbaric sport that has no place in a so-called civilised European country. It’s a tragedy.” Spanish animal rights groups such as the Mallorca Sense Sang - who oppose the ‘bloodthirsty sport’ - stage dramatic public protests in order to seek an end to it. Ric Polansky, an EWN columnist, sees things differently. After living in Spain for over 40 years, and being somewhat of an expert aficionado, he despairs at people’s unwillingness to see the real picture. “Bullfighting is an art form,” he said. “The hypocrisy of people who line up at the supermarket to buy their beef - not giving a second thought as to how the thousands of cows are killed daily to put meat on their table - are the

same people that complain about (as they see it) one bull being killed.” For the multitude of devout bullfighting fans, and for hundreds of years, the bull (and combat with him) has been revered in Spain’s unique culture as the ultimate battle between man and beast. The Spanish never refer to it as ‘entertainment’, rather ‘a ritual sacrifice’. For the many that pay thousands of euros for front row seats, banning bullfighting would be deemed akin to banning football in the UK, and fail to see the difference between a bull being killed in the ring to one being slaughtered in an abattoir. The anti-bullfighting camp on the other hand would argue that slaughtering an animal and animal cruelty are two different issues. No matter the reason, an animal should not be purposely made to suffer before its death. So maybe this is where the bone of contention lies. Juan Moran, a bull breeder from Torre de Ri-

They are very well looked after throughout their life, and die honourably and quickly doing what they naturally want to do, fight! Mallorca Sense Sang disagree. They say that cruelty is evident. The bulls are tortured for days before the actual event, not to mention the poor horses that get injured into the bargain. There is of course the money aspect to the spectacle that should also be factored in. The sport is largely funded with public money, and critics claim the government has paid sums in excess of €500 million every year in subsidies to bull breeders. The argument on that front however seems more than valid. With the huge revenues bull-

MAY in Spain this year was classed as ‘extremely warm and dry’ by Aemet State Weather Agency, which has said it was the driest month of May for 68 years. In its monthly round-up, the agency reported that almost all of Spain had a dry month, with an average rainfall of just 17 litres per square metre recorded, the lowest since 1947. Levels of reservoirs in the Malaga Province have dropped
by 26 per cent over the last two years, yet the authorities say there is no need to worry at this time as there will be plenty of water as long as it is used in a responsible way. As far as temperatures were concerned, May saw an average of 19ºC, 2.4 degrees higher than the normal average for the month, making it the second hottest May since 1961 and beaten only by 1964, which had an average of 19.1ºC.

Spain returns to working mode By Jason Bailey NEW figures released by the Labour Ministry show that the Spanish economy is continuing to recover. In May 2015, 213,015 workers signed up to the Social Security system. This is an increase of 1.25 per cent on the previous month. This makes the increase the strongest since 2005 with the total number of people within the system now totalling 17,221,310.

3.57 the percentage increase over same period last year. In comparison to the same period last year this represents a 3.57 per cent increase. The Secretary of State
for Social Security Tomas Burgos said: “The figures are very encouraging but the underlying important issue is that more people are finding work and this is essential, not only for the contributions into the system, but for local economies where wages will be spent.” There was also a significant drop in people registered as unemployed. There were 4,215,031 officially un-

Pilots wanted PRADO MUSEUM: Addressing the issue of taxation.
Spain taxes culture THREE of the biggest and most respected museums in Spain have joined together to address the issue of taxation on cultural goods. Miguel Zugaza of the Prado, Manuel Borja-Villel of the Reina Sofia and Guillermo Solana of the Thyssen-Bornemisza held a discussion panel in Madrid and the levy of 21 per cent IVA on culture was at the heart of the meeting. They stated that to tax the culture and art sector was inequitable as the sector
does not seek or obtain benefits from the government and the benefit to the treasury was doubtful. The tax which covers museums, art galleries, cultural products and art purchases is seen as having a negative effect as it discourages people from visiting and enjoying the rich cultural heritage that Spain offers. It could also affect students who wish to learn, viewing museum visits as essential to their understanding.

Spain backs Greece AN agreement with Greece included is ‘imminent’ By Jason Bailey SPAIN has publicly declared that it sees a European Union, with Greece remaining, as the future for the euro-zone. Luis de Guindos, the Spanish Economy Minister, has stated that he feels an agreement which will be positive for the continuation of the EU, with Greece included, is imminent. He said: “The euro-zone is a club where you can check in but you cannot check out.” The question of a Greek exit has hung over EU ministers for years, the main concern is that if Greece leaves there would be pressure on Spain and others to follow. The fear with regard to Spain is that if Greece leaves and prospers then
Spain may decide it would be advantageous to return to the peseta. After a huge property explosion followed by its unfortunate collapse, partly attributed to inappropriate interest rates applied as a result of being in the eurozone, the country has repaired, revitalised and rebuilt its infrastructure. The harsh reality of a Spanish exit has far-reaching ramifications. A return to the peseta would mean a minimum 40 per cent devaluation
against the euro forcing a massive rise in import charges. Tourism and exports would thrive but the main issue would be a potential run on the banks as customers would rush to empty their accounts at the prospect of losing 40 per cent.

The industry had a turnover of around €2 billion last year and that figure is up 24.5 per cent on 2013. Within the first quarter of 2015 the increase has already reached 13.4 per cent. Within the next year, 12 new companies will apply for gaming licences in Spain. The wide variety of games available encourages people to join gambling websites and the rapid rise in sales of tablets and smart phones has also been a contributing factor.

CAPTAINS of industry are often a source of sound business advice. Many such observations are inspirational and some humorous. I like Henry Ford’s: “If you think the price of a professional is too high wait until you try an amateur.” A business advisor and trade association introducer for 20 years, I knew more than most the challenges of decision-making. A constant source of surprise was the number of business proprietors incapable of making a decision. A simple low investment with guaranteed dividends would still elicit the tedious ‘I would like to think about it’ response. In exasperation I would say to my wife: “I wonder if they discuss the purchase of a couple of books of stamps with their wife.” This was the sum the investment
required. It is all very well to say ‘think about it before you sign on the dotted line’. I have seen more
The only business weakness is inability to make a decision
opportunities lost by procrastination than by any other business failing. Business rivals, quicker to spot a bargain, benefited instead.
The sales director of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars was once interviewed on behalf of a business magazine. The topic was decision-making. Here was a man whose job meant making decisions 1,000 times more demanding than those we consider life-changing. “The only business weakness is inability to make a decision. If you get it right, you and your company are rewarded. If you get it wrong, you learn from it. “If you cannot make a decision, the world moves on and you then have to also catch up,” he declared. A friend had been a sales director for Rockwell Inc in the US and Phillips, the Dutch conglomerate. He explained to me: “The American attitude is quite different from the British. “If in the US a salesman calls with a suggestion, you look at it and you make a decision one way or another. “The British boss, when he receives such a call, often won’t even look at it. Progress is based on the ability to make a decision.”

Petrol prices THE price of a litre of petrol is now costing on average €1.318 in Spain after a small increase over last week of 0.003 setting the price at the highest of the year so far.
Optimistic poll ACCORDING to a Pew Research Centre poll, 42 per cent of Spanish and 38 per cent of Brits were optimistic regarding their country’s economic future.
Job creation A PMI (Purchasing Managers Index) survey has shown that job creation in France, Germany, Spain and Italy is at a four-month high in both the manufacturing and service sector.
LET’S face it - it’s hot outside and it’s just going to get worse over the next few months! You might think to turn on the air conditioning, but this is an expensive solution to staying cool. So why not try and employ some cost-effective measures to help beat the heat? Shut Up Shop: Did you know that up to 30 per cent of unwanted heat comes from your windows, so by using your window shades, shutters or curtains you can lower indoor temperatures by up to 20 degrees. Keeping the summer light out basically prevents your home from becoming a miniature greenhouse, which is especially the case for southand west-facing windows. Insulated window films are a wise choice too as they work similarly to blinds. Another cooling idea is to put awnings, or trees in front of light-facing windows to protect your home from the sun’s rays. Cool Off Before Bed: There is nothing like a cool shower in summertime,
BARBECUE TIME: Take advantage of the summer evenings and keep your house inside cool. but a rinse before bedtime also brings down your core body temperature and washes off sweat so you can hit the hay feeling cool and clean. Also, it’s a good idea to have cotton sheets on the bed. Bed linens made of lightweight cotton are breathable and good at promoting ventilation and airflow in the bedroom.
Get Ceiling Fans: A ceiling fan is a cheap cooling investment that uses a fraction of the electricity of an air conditioning unit, but it is very effective. Switch Off the Lights: This may seem pretty obvious, but many people tend to forget about the heat generating power of light bulbs - even environ-
mentally friendly CFLs give off heat. Try to keep rooms cool by using lights minimally or not at all. Cook Outdoors: Using your oven in the summer is going to make your house hotter. Take advantage of summer evenings to barbecue outside, and keep your house nice and cool.

Shuffling through Arrivals ordeal IT’S now hard work reaching England’s green and pleasant land LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT OH to be in England now that ‘summer’s’ there! Getting there is, of course, is a different matter entirely. Out of a 10-hour trip from Spain to the glorious Norfolk countryside, only two hours 40 minutes were actually spent in the air. A significant chunk of the trip is now taken up at Arrivals. Talk about from the sublime to the ridiculous! The new border controls really do take the whole tin. It had been previously mentioned to me that I could expect some extra delays on arrival, but nothing prepared me for the sight that met my gaze when I entered the Arrivals Hall at Stansted Airport. There before me materialised at least 200 travellers, all shuffling miserably along those awful zig-zag ribboned corridors. A meandering, brain-numbing journey that seems to take forever. A trip that leads you to keep passing the same faces over and over again until you fi-
DELAYS ON ARRIVAL: New border controls are a lengthy process. nally arrive at the reason for this, the latest ‘catch ’em at the border’ project. Not only do they want your passport details, they now also require a mug-shot. When you do finally reach the front of the line, uniformed individuals curtly order you to “proceed
through the low saloon doors when the green arrow shows.” You are then instructed to stand on the designated ‘footprints’, place your passport in the slot and look directly at the screen in front of you. Judging by the blaring alarms that kept screeching out, they were detecting about
one illegal alien a minute! Not that I saw any arrests, of course. Most of the alarms seemed to be triggered by little old dears, bewildered by the whole new border airlock technology. Even my machine instructed me to try again. Frankly it is now easier, and quicker, to enter Britain clinging to the underside of a truck. One thing that did get my interest, was the reaction of a fellow traveller behind me. He grunted his disapproval of it all and when I replied by stating that this was what the immigrants had done for us, went quite pale and with furtive, almost panicky glances around, made a point of ignoring me for the rest of the whole shuffling journey. Obviously still can’t state the obvious, Leapy, may offend someone. Keep the faith, Love Leapy, Leapylee2002@gmail.com www.leapylee.co.uk Editor's note: In last week’s column Leapy wrote that the US would have to make war on Islamic State. This was changed in the production process to the Islamic World, which was not his meaning.

OPINION & COMMENT
YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE - YOUR OPINION
Dressing down for the supermarket AT the start of the summer season supermarkets have been asking scantily dressed customers to leave. Do you think there should be a bare minimum of clothing required to shop or are you happy to see people flashing the flesh at the meat counter? JACK GARROOD of Costa Less Golf had an interesting and amusing answer as he told the EWN “Actually I don’t mind at all, it doesn’t bother me, why should it. If there were girls in bikinis in the supermarket then I would probably go shopping more!” So Jack would find it an attraction and an incentive. Paul Garrard of Discount Furniture Outlet didn’t really mind if it was in non-food stores as he remarked, “I don’t think people should walk around supermarkets with hardly anything on, it just doesn’t seem very hygienic. We have had people in our store, mainly non-residents and I don’t get offended, but I don’t like to see it in food stores.” Paul’s work colleague, Jonathan Smyth had a
very good point, he said “I know we have the warmer weather here on the Costa, but people walk around in things you would not walk around in t aa store at home. Why should they think it is ok to do it here? The Jack Garrood
native Spanish don’t go shopping scantily dressed, just holidaymakers, but then again they are here for our lovely sunshine.”
The Sky Doctor, Mark Wood is quite matter of fact with his answer, “If the supermarkets want business then it should not

really matter how shoppers dress, I can understand if there is sand being walked into the stores it’s a pain, but cleaners are usually on hand. To me it should be business that matters not what people are wearing.”

Here, Leighton Griffiths, Store Director from Specsavers Opticas Marbella answers some common queries about glasses. cause headaches. Shifting your gaze from screen to keyboard means your eyes have to change focus quickly, resulting in eyestrain. Specially-tailored glasses can help, including lenses that correct your vision at the intermediate distance between your eyes and the screen or tints and lens treatments to reduce screen glare.
Q - My glasses don’t fit properly and slip down my nose. Does this matter? A - Badly-fitting glasses can affect your vision. If the lenses are too far from your eyes the glasses will seem too weak if you are shortsighted, or too strong if you are long-sighted. Fit is also very important for bifocals and varifocals wearers, due to the positioning of the different prescription zones. Your glasses should also be comfortable. If they need refitting, take them in to your local Specsavers.
Q – I want to try contact lenses, but am worried I might not be able to wear them. What do you recommend? A - Soft contact lenses would be a good first option. These are the most popular type worn today. In being very pliable and soft, they are easy to get used to and comfortable to wear. Soft contact lenses are suitable for occasional use and even people with sensitive eyes can usually get on with them. As they are not easily dislodged they are also ideal for sport.
Q - My high prescription makes my glasses lenses thick, ugly and uncomfortable. Can anything be done? A - Thin+Light lenses will make a huge difference. They are thinner and lighter than standard, and so are more comfortable and improve the appearance of your glasses. They are suitable for all frames, particularly lightweight styles. Q - My colleague wears different glasses for working at a computer. Does everyone need them? A - Using a computer for long periods can

The hidden perils of strimming Colin Bird A weekly look Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-the-wall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.
THE Princess and I are dog sitting for our vacationing neighbours at the moment. Although we are presently owned by two cats that we rescued as tiny street ragamuffins a few years ago, we also love dogs and it makes a pleasant change to take the first walk of the day through the quiet neighbourhood at a relatively early hour. Armed with doodoo bags just in case, and a pocket full of biscuit treats (for being a good girl and pooping on waste ground and not the road, the dog not the Princess), it’s a pleasant experience. But it amazes me to see the amount of dog excrement left on the pavements and walkways of the urbanisation. The dog owners concerned believe that if nobody is watching, then leave it, because although during daylight hours doggy walkers can be seen assiduously attending to their pet’s bowel movements, it is obviously a different matter after dark. These thoughts link up conveniently with a message I saw on Facebook
VILLAGE LIFE: Some green areas could only be strimmed.
from an erstwhile friend in the village where we once lived. It was castigating dog owners who are allowing their animals to make regular deposits on the village recreation ground, and leaving them to be discovered by young kids and footballers. The message was in the form of a cartoon fairy flying off with a bag of something unsavoury, and captioned: ‘There’s No Such Thing as the Dog Poo Fairy!’ It reminded me of a time when, as a member of the Parish Council, I had made it my responsibility to keep the three village greens mown during the summer and in addition the cemetery and churchyard. There was something strangely relaxing about thrumming around on my shiny Kubota ride-on, pondering life’s mysteries. At the entrance to the cemetery was a narrow strip of grass that, because of its slope, could only be strimmed. This was fine unless the grass became overly long, which happened during our holidays away. Let me tell you, in spite of the mirth it created in the village at the time, it is no fun to suddenly encounter a wet Richard the Third with a high speed rotating nylon cord. To this day, there are those who still refer to me as ‘Freckles’!
Henry Ford’s Irish connection Steve Lagreca / Shutterstock.com
FIRST Ford cars were seen in Ireland in 1907 at the Irish Motor Show Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.
ALTHOUGH a veteran of many car brands, I had not realised my favourite marque was built by an innovative company inspired by a fellow Irishman. I tried every car brand including the Seven Series BMW; what a mistake that was. The first car I ever owned was a Ford Prefect, bought for 50 sobs in the 60s. At the other end of life I am very happy with my third Ford Mondeo. Okay, I know that Henry Ford was American born and bred. However, his father, William Ford was a 21-yearold Irish farmer when he left West Cork in 1847. Under Irish law this makes the venerable Henry Ford an Irish national. In 1912, the pull of sentiment lured Henry Ford and

SPAIN: A cultural life.
Different aspects of Spain PEOPLE have different reasons why they chose to live in Spain. For some it’s the food, wine and weather, for others it’s the culture, fiestas, bullfighting or the nightlife. But for most of us it’s a culmination of the entire package. Although no country is perfect, we have chosen to live here because, all things given, we prefer it. The reason for that is the multifaceted lifestyle that has shaped Spain and its values over hundreds of years and is one that contains many aspects. It’s possible we might not agree with all of the ingredients that make up Spain’s big picture, but if one or two aspects of Spanish life didn’t exist, it wouldn’t be the country we know. In the same respect, if you were to remove potatoes from a stew, it would just be soup, Spain is what it is because of all the ingredients, good or bad, perfect or not so perfect. It would be a boring world if we all thought the same, fortunately we don’t. With all the wonderful attractions and experiences Spain has to offer, maybe we should concentrate a little more on the things we feel make us happy, and leave others to enjoy what they like to do. Somerset Maugham said: “Perfection has one grave defect: it is apt to be dull.” And if life in Spain ever became dull, it doesn’t bear thinking about.

Building more homes just destroys the tranquillity we know and love WITH the announcement of the development of 1,800 new homes, on agricultural land, Nerja Town Hall has all but rung the death knell for the town's tourism industry. At present it is likely that there are more than 1,800 homes either not in use (including abandoned developments), in partial use or on sale in the town. So why this need for more houses? Family and friends, who over the years have holidayed with us, have without exception noted that Nerja has become brash, noisy, dirty, grid-locked with traffic and generally unpleasant. So much so that almost all of our friends holiday in Almuñecar, La Herradura and Salobreña. Nerja’s loss is another town’s gain. We purchased our home based on Nerja’s natural and tranquil charm. That has all but gone. Like our neighbours before us, we too will be moving further inland, to regain a tranquillity that Nerja Town Hall seems hell-bent on destroying. Nerja will lose out on much needed, year-round income. G Kenmore, Nerja (Malaga)
Remarkable lady THANK you for the article on Jacqui Phillips (Costa Blanca North Issue 1558). She is a remarkable lady who can achieve laughter and hope in one’s darkest hours. I met Jacqui 14 years ago, having had a mastectomy in the Perdrera Hospital. I was driven to Javea to meet a small group of ladies in a local restaurant. My left arm in plaster, I was asked why I was there. Having assured them that I had cancer, I was made to feel very welcome. The weekly meetings meant experiences were exchanged and worries talked over. The atmosphere was very positive that we would recover and there was much laughter; in fact, so lighthearted were we that one day we were approached by a delightful lady who asked how might she join our club. Could it be a theatre group?
Photographs for possible publication should be sent by email with a full caption to: photonews@euroweeklynews.com
This photo was taken recently at the entrance to one of the parking areas on Fuengirola Port. After pondering the maths for two minutes we drove off and decided to find a proper parking meter regardless of cost. The sign is as clear as beach sand. Pete Woodall (By email)
It was gently explained to her that she did not qualify and indeed we hoped she never would. She walked away shaking her head in disbelief. Jacqui was an enormous help whenever it was most needed, and I’m sure a great help to our recovery and self-esteem. Jacqui remembers everyone’s name and is still working tirelessly, both in visiting the MABS charity shops and raising awareness, and giving inspiration to so many. A truly lovely lady. Thank you for your truly informative publication. PV French, La Jara (Alicante)
Cycle lane crazy CAN anyone tell me what idiot would get rid of 30 plus parking spaces, in preference for a cycle lane? This is at the medical centre in
Cabo Roig (Alicante) and there is now no parking near the clinic. Police are there every morning booking cars and towing away. I don’t think I have ever seen a cyclist there! The parking places they have taken are in a road that could be cycled down safely as it is a dead-end road, and there is no through traffic. All this along with the humps that damage our cars, what will they think of next? I wonder would anyone own up to this? Nathan Hall (By email)
Thanks EWN! THANK you for the article you have just published highlighting the problems of abandoned dogs in Javea (Costa Blanca North Issue 1561). We appreciate your help. Mandy Conway, President APASA animal sanctuary
Phone woes IT seems that the letter regarding Telefonica is the norm for this company! My own tale of woe started in August 2011, when cancelling a contract I had had for 30 months. This in itself was a Herculean task, but by persisting I got them to give me a cancellation number, name of the assistant and agreed date and time the event took place. The assistant, Carmen, informed me there would be a final invoice for €31.74 and that this would be taken in September. Well it was taken and a day later a further amount for €74.38, without my knowledge, was also taken. This unauthorised payment was refunded by the bank. Then the problems started. First of all Telefonica wrote demanding payment, still without itemising why. Soon they started bullying tactics utilising a different debt
agency every month. After six months of agency letters they finally ceased and I mistakenly thought they had corrected their error. Sadly not, roll forward to the present day and when I enquired through Movistar about the fibreoptics installed last month on our urbanisation they immediately requested the €74 and at the same time denied the knowledge that their very own company had installed the cables at the end of April! I’ve yet to hear a good word about Telefonica and wonder if they are just inefficient or blatantly corrupt. Derek Etherton, Pinos de Alhaurin (Malaga)
Fitting tribute Ric Polansky’s article (Almeria Issue 1561) about war hero and D-Day veteran Colonel Herbert ‘Bertie’ Finch nearing his 100th birthday struck a chord with one reader… CONGRATULATIONS to the hero of the article, and a happy birthday to boot. I was there on Sword Beach, but I’m only in my 99th year. It was not a lot of fun. The Big Bang got me on the first day, so phoning is not a goer now, as the ears took it badly. I was in Liverpool Broad Green Hospital for seven months. I won’t be able to get to go to my mates’ resting places by the beaches again, it’s a bit too much. But they WILL always be in my thoughts. Harry Fletcher, Sgt RE Comb Ops, Camping Los Gallardos (Almeria)

YOUR STARS CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A recent holiday has set your mind racing. This being a romantic time means that you can get a little overexcited. Your romance may not be set to last but you should fully enjoy it nonetheless. Relatives issue words of warning but they have only your best interests at heart. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Opposing opinions on a matter close to your heart see you hesitating. There is nothing wrong with asking for advice. The chances are that you know someone who has already been through your situation. Don’t let pride make you miss out on a solution. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Not everything in the garden is rosy but you are made of strong stuff. Your conviction that something is right helps you in discussions. Support given to a loved one may be misguided, especially if it is a huge financial gamble. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is a time to enjoy the present and look forward to the future. Don’t forget, along the way, to congratulate yourself for all that you have achieved in the last year. Sometimes you do not blow your own trumpet and people appreciate you in a quiet way.

Improvising within a new business situation may not give you the perfect answer to a problem. What it will do, however, is give you an insight into the way others live. Until now, your approach to life may have been a little one-sided
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) An appetite for something new means that you tread unknown ground. It’s an exciting time when you may find it easier to do things alone. This does not mean you have to feel alone as others can be told of your progress. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Part of being ‘you’ is your independent mind. Some may try to change that this week. Why would someone want to make you more dependent on them? Could it be that they feel insecure? Giving reassurance may be all that is needed. We all feel the need for appreciation. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Trying to be everything to all people is tiring. No one knows this more than you. Give yourself a little time and space this week because it will make a great difference to your spirits. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Primarily, you are wanting to see
some appreciation. That is understandable given the efforts that you have made. Do not be annoyed, however, if it is a while coming yet. Others are not always as well tuned in as you. If necessary, use a go-between discreetly to make sure of progress. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Increased activity in your love life means less time to really concentrate on business. Make sure that priority financial matters are dealt with. Not doing so will see you kicking yourself later on. A close relationship is going well. There’s no reason to wonder why, the charm offensive is obviously working. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Keeping an eye on your health is particularly important at the moment. Because you have been active, it could be that you need to give yourself a bit of time. Pampering and just plain relaxing are all going to stand you in good stead during the coming week. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Opening your mind to a new idea has convinced you that it is time for a change in direction. This is such a time, but not all changes will be permanent. Give yourself a way out of any situation this week. Using your tact and charm, it will require only a little application to please everyone.

BOOKS A tale following three generations
Judy Blume is an author that millions of women have grown up with, her young adult novels addressing the stresses and crises of being a teenage girl, such as Are You There God, It’s Me, Margaret, having become classics. Her newly released novel is aimed at adults and follows three generations of characters, as they search for ways to cope with events that change their lives utterly. Miri Ammerman goes back to her hometown in New Jersey for a memorial event to mark a series of aircraft disasters that occurred when she was a 15year-old in the 1950s, when technology was exciting and terrifying at the same time, and young love played out against a backdrop of the threat of nuclear war. books@euroweeklynews.com
best restaurants in the world
These are the best places to go to eat based on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2015 where lists are compiled using the votes of more than 900 international leaders in the restaurant industry. 1. El Celler de Can Roca - Girona, Spain Taking the top spot is El Celler de Can Roca of Girona. Also the holder of three Michelin stars, the World’s best restaurant in northeast Spain which suffered the terrible shame of falling to the number two spot last year has regained its place. The cuisine is described by the Roca brothers as, traditional Catalan but with a twist. 2. Osteria Francescana - Modena, Italy Owned and run by Chef Massimo Bottura, and the holder of three stars by the Michelin Red Guide, he travels the globe in search of inspiration. However his menu remains deeply Italian, and always echoes the flavour of northern Italy. The author of the book, Never Trust a Skinny Italian Chef, tells us he is always looking at how to evolve his country’s food. 3. Noma - Copenhagen, Denmark The double Michelin star eatery run by Chef René Redzepi has prided itself on the reinvention and interpretation of Nordic Cuisine. It received Restaurant magazine’s award for Best Restaurant three years in a row, and was last year’s number one with The World’s Best 50. 4. Central - Lima, Peru Virgilio Martínez Véliz, is a master of innovation, from his flagship restaurant in the Andes he focuses on traditional Peruvian dishes predating Hispanic influence. More of a workshop than a restaurant, he concentrates on the surrounding 100 kilometres for all ingredients,

as would have his ancestors. 5. Eleven Madison Park - New York, United States Originally opened in 1998, Chef Humm and Guidara began working at Eleven in 2006 and became owners in 2011. Devotion to their one multi-course tasting menu which is stimulated by the agricultural plenty of New York, has ensured this well-disciplined award winner set in art deco grandeur remains one of the best restaurants in the world. 6. Mugaritz - San Sebastien, Spain A hilltop in Spain’s Basque Country is the location from where Andoni Luis Aduriz and his eatery crafts its experience. A revolutionary restaurant offering contemporary cuisine takes a step outside the box. Referred to by some as the most adventurous restaurant in the world, you should prepare to be mystified. 7. Dinner by Heston Blumenthal London, UK Since January 2011, Chef Ashley PalmerWatts, has been at the helm of the former
Foliage situated at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Famed for its experiential food with a modern twist on traditional British recipes, his creative eye for detail coupled with a great enthusiasm for research has earned his place within Blumenthal’s, and on this list. 8. Narisawa - Tokyo, Japan A decidedly international restaurant with a more than cosmopolitan outlook, it stands out amongst its Tokyo contemporaries. Despite a heavy bias toward its French bedrock, unique Japanese products are still the focal point. Yoshihiro Narisawa cooking places a strong emphasis on nature and a keen commitment to the environment. 9. D.O.M. - Sao Paulo, Brazil Run by Brazilian chef Alex Atala, and known for the use of native Brazilian ingredients, Restaurant magazine has considered it the best restaurant in South America since 2006, and in 2012 it peaked at number four on this list. The former punk rocker, DJ and self-confessed party animal has spread his philosophy of using native Brazilian ingredients in haute cuisine and mesmerised a continent. 10. Gaggan - Bangkok, Thailand Indian born Gaggan Anand dropped onto the shores of Bangkok for a short visit in 2007, he never left. The selfconfessed Anti Academic childhood saw him fill his world with music and cooking. Apparently the number 10 best restaurant in the world was result of a drunken night with friends.

Stay safe, keep to the speed limit HERE we answer some common driving questions, kindly provided by Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.
OBEY THE LIMIT: Excessive speed is a major factor in road accidents. EXCESSIVE or inappropriate speed is one of the main contributing factors to road traffic collisions, with statistics showing speed is accountable for over 25 per cent of all road accidents in Spain. The maximum permitted speed on a road is indicated by means of a circular sign with a red border and the numbers in black. This is a mandatory speed limit sign known as R-301. The R-411 is a mandatory minimum speed required sign. This is a blue circle with white numbers in the centre. If your
vehicle is incapable of reaching this speed you will not be allowed to drive on it. The third signs relating to speed are the S-7 and S-9, which is an advisory maximum speed limit sign. It is a blue square with white numbers and denotes the advised maximum speed for that stretch of road. Some roads do not always display speed signs so it is important to know the limits. For example, on toll roads and motorways, the speed limit for cars and motorbikes is 120 kilometres an hour and the minimum speed is 60.

Should Gibraltar be worried? FOLLOWING Sir James Dutton’s resignation as Governor, will a civil servant now fill the role? By Steve Walsh WITH the resignation of Sir James Dutton from the post of Governor, will the UK end 300 years of rule by a military governor, and appoint a civil servant? To have a civil servant beholden to Whitehall rather than a retired general directly accountable to the Queen in the hot-seat between the tri-nations, is not a situation that sits well with Gibraltarians. It would seem fears are growing that the new appointee could be an easily-manipulated ‘grey suit’ rather than a decorated military leader. Since 1704, here has only ever been one civil servant in the chair, Sir David Durie, who held the position from 2000 to 2003.
It didn’t work out too well for Sir David, as he became the focus of Gibraltarian anger over what they saw as Foreign Office attempts to do a deal behind their backs, and returned 98.97 per cent ‘No’ vote in the referendum regarding shared sovereignty with Spain. The consensus of opinion from former governors and current legal and political figures on The Rock seems to be that the next governor should have a military background, or at least a very senior politician at the end of their career. Somebody who has the gumption to stand up to the Foreign Office, and deal with Spanish sabre-rattling. Sir James Dutton told The Telegraph: “I certainly recommended that the next person to take the job after me should have a military background.”
LEAVING GOVERNORSHIP: Sir James Dutton.
High-speed drugs chase on land and sea ends in calamity A HIGH-SPEED launch and car chase in the early hours of Monday morning ended up with two police officers requir-
ing hospital treatment, and a lot of damage. The events began when an Royal Gibraltar Police (RGP)
patrol boat was pursuing a launch suspected of being involved in drug smuggling. At around 4.30am they were joined and assisted by a police patrol car offering land support, which soon gave chase to a Gibraltarian Mercedes E-class after it fled the area at speed. Five officers in a patrol car, Transit van and on a motorcycle were involved in the chase for more than an hour that saw the Mercedes being driven very dangerously through the streets. The 29-year-old Spanish national’s flight for freedom came to an abrupt end after crashing
into a wall in Europa Road, and he was tackled by a young RGP officer as he tried to escape on foot. Two officers sustained injuries in the course of the arrest. One fell off of his motorcycle suffering a broken leg and dislocated shoulder, while the other was hit by an empty patrol car whose handbrake had failed causing it to roll down the hill and hit him as he getting out of the police Transit. Although no drugs were found in the Mercedes, the arrested man is likely to face several charges.
CHASE: Several police vehicles were involved.

A positive step on the way to recovery AT LAST the wheels are in motion with my radiotherapy Erica Russell Watson: My journey – and I’m driving AT last I have started radiotherapy which is a very positive step. It seems as though I have been talking about it forever and now at least the wheels are in motion. I have been smearing Sativa cream on the area to be radiated like it’s going out of fashion. I was told that with skin like mine I’d have to apply it at least three to four times a day to moisturise myself sufficiently to handle the side-effects of radiotherapy. I started the treatment on June 2 at the Carlos Haya Hospital in Malaga. My appointment with the nurse was in the evening. I went along and down to the basement of the hospital and waited to be called. On the dot of my appointment my name was called out. I spent half an hour with the specialist nurse who explained the possible side-effects which
were mainly sore and dry skin and fatigue. He also went through a series of health questions and asked me how I felt emotionally after my mastectomy and chemotherapy.
It was great to see the smiles on people’s faces and the hair on their heads! A sense of optimism pervaded as we could all start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Then I was called in for my first session. I was asked to strip to the waist and put on the typical green gown. This I was told to keep and bring with me for every session. Then into the radiotherapy room I went. I was asked to lie down and then
raise my arms above my head and hold a bar. I had to incline my head to the opposite side of the area to be treated and stay absolutely still. It took them a while to move me into the correct position as they had to align everything with the markings on my body to ensure they radiated the correct area. Once this was done we started. The machine, a giant robot, moved around me making funny noises. It didn’t hurt but I was relieved when I got the instruction to relax my arms because I had the itchiest nose ever! By the weekend I will have had four sessions of radiotherapy and so far so good. I will have 15 in total and we shall see how I feel at the end of it all. For the moment it is the weekend so I get to rest and start the next sessions from Monday to Friday. On a positive note it was lovely to bump into lots of people that I had met during my chemotherapy. It was great to see the smiles on people’s faces and the hair on their heads! A sense of optimism pervaded as we could all start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Years of wearing heels can cause harmful imbalance By Gemma Quinn

nic health issues Nelson said: “It is well recognised that food intake is implicated in many chronic health issues including obesity, diabetes and heart disease, and diet is often a target of treatment to prevent the onset of these conditions. Understanding the mechanisms linking disrupted sleep patterns to increased food intake is important for informing both prevention and treatment interventions for chronic health conditions.”
THREE years of regularly wearing high heels could harm the balance of feet. Research shows that continual use can cause a potentially harmful imbalance in the feet of women despite initially strengthening important muscles around the ankle. After three years, the shoes led to some muscles becoming dominant and increased the risk of sprains. A team from Hanseo University in South Korea studied 40 professional women who wear heels of 10cm or higher at least three times a week. They regularly measured the women’s ankle strength, and found that two of the four main muscles started becoming dominant after between one and three years

SOURCE OF PROBLEM? Every nerve starts in the neck.
Carpal tunnel and migraine – both a pain in the neck? I’VE spoken about both of these conditions before (articles, research and more information on our blog – www.TheBodyworksClinic.com/blog) and the difficulty in getting a good resolution to both, but there is a common cause to both conditions, one which is often ignored. New research published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons shows that “patients with carpal tunnel syndrome are more than twice as likely to have migraine headaches.” The study then poses the question: “Could migraine indicate a higher future risk of carpal tunnel syndrome or vice versa?” The simple answer? Yes, but not for the reason you think. Carpal tunnel This is when one of the nerves in your wrist gets compressed by the structure (the carpal tunnel) that it runs through. Symptoms include: • Tingling and/or numbness in the hand • Weakness in the hand These symptoms are common symptoms of nerve issues, but the key point to remember is that these symptoms can be caused by a problem ANYWHERE along the nerve. And every nerve starts in the neck. It is quite difficult to compromise the carpal tunnel but it is very easy to compromise the neck. If you are getting carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms in both wrists, it is even more likely to originate in the neck. So you can have
By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com the best surgeon in the world, be receiving the best carpal tunnel treatment and make absolutely no progress. Because you are ignoring the root of the problem. Migraine Recent research demonstrates that migraines are a NERVE issue (with a dollop of brain chemistry). Not a blood supply issue or a food issue. The three nerves involved in migraines are the trigeminal, occipital and brainstem. And all three run through... the neck. By treating the neck and removing the pressure on the nerves you reduce the pain, severity and frequency of migraines. A simple connection So if you have two issues, both rooted in nerve issues from the neck, is it any surprise that patients commonly have both?

OPINION & COMMENT
Uncivil disobedience is not viable Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
ADA COLAU, Barcelona’s mayor elect, took 11 seats in last month’s election. She announced a few days back that the Barcelona en Comu party would disobey laws that it felt were unjust, which is a prizewinning cop out. While living in a state where unjust laws can be passed by a democraticallyelected parliament - especially one with a whopping great overall majority like Rajoy’s - little can be done apart from revoking them at the first opportunity. Spain has had enough problems with politicians who disobey the laws that affect them personally. It doesn’t also need politicians who see institutional lawbreaking as a viable alternative to lawmaking.

Two little dicky birds REMEMBER ‘Two little dicky birds, sitting on a wall, one named Peter, one named Paul?’ Pedro Sanchez and Pablo Iglesias are about as liable to fly away in opposite directions as the birds in the rhyme although Iglesias needs Sanchez as much as Sanchez needs him. Podemos is the victim of its half-success, failing to get very far under its own steam, and a frustrated Iglesias is playing hard to get. On reflection he is more of a dog-in-themanger than a dicky bird.
Spain has had enough problems with politicians who disobey the laws. VI withstood the public’s reaction to Spain’s national anthem in Camp Nou. It was a foregone conclusion that whistles and jeers from the supporters of both teams would deafen any cheers at the BarcelonaAthletico de Bilbao cup final. The king
stood solidly to attention, ignoring the half-smile on the face of Cataluña’s regional president Artur Mas. Mas, whose CiU party loses more seats in every ballot, called early regional elections for this September. Unlike Felipe who has a 71 per cent approval rating, he has nothing to smile about.
All the same THERE weren’t many outright regional or municipal victories for the PP, PSOE, Ciudadanos or Podemos last month. But it was the electorate’s jaded “they’re all the same” verdict that split the vote, not the parties involved. ADA COLAU: As Barcelona’s mayor elect, she took 11 seats in last month’s election.

Blattergate: it’s the flaky fiefdom of FIFA Nora Johnson

ARE you a 79-year-old who, re-elected president for a fifth term despite worldwide calls for your resignation, initially refused to go? Do you believe the ‘English media’ and US authorities were targeting you because of their failed bids to host the World Cup? Were you compared to the scandal-besieged President Richard Nixon of 'Watergate’ fame? If the answer’s no to all the above, that’s because you’re not famous and your name’s not Sepp Blatter. But with headlines like ‘Game Over,’ ‘Own Goal’ and ‘Blatter’s Blather Exposed,’ the only question all along was: how long could you survive? (You’ll recall Nixon got off with a pardon and spent the rest of his life with his fortune. Let’s hope you don’t get off so lightly.) Now, if FIFA was a proper business, Blatter would have been forced out long ago. He was
effectively its CEO, and some of those accused reported directly to him. His denial of knowledge of wrongdoing regarding bribes etc. in the FIFA fiefdom simply didn’t wash for someone at his level. If he didn’t know, he certainly should have, and that’s more than enough reason for him to have gone long ago. But, finally Blatter resigned, although still not admitting any wrongdoing or responsibility. A bit like Lehman Brothers’ former CEO, Dick Fuld, who’s blamed regulators, borrowers and the US government for the 158-year-old investment bank’s implosion - the largest corporate collapse in modern times - under debts of $619 billion. Nothing to do with Dick Fuld at all! So, no buck stopping on his desk. Corrupt practices are, officially at least, illegal in all countries. What’s needed are more investigative journalists and more police investigators to uncover these complex webs of deceit that undermine civilised societies. And more jail terms for powerful offenders. Nowadays it increasingly seems, if you’re rich and powerful enough, you’ll never see the inside of a jail.

It is traditionally made from th e z e st o f l e m o n s which makes the flavour so crisp. There are two types of lem o n s t h a t a r e us e d , Sorrento or Sfusato and the method used to extract the oil from the fruit is to steep it until it produces a syrup. The quality of the lemons play a l a rg e p a r t i n th e flavou r o f t h e e n d r e s u lt, and they must also be free from chemicals. Water is added that dictates the thickness, and the clarity of the Limoncello can be altered with the temperatu r e i n wh i c h i t is stored. If the Limoncello is a little o p a q u e i n c l a rity, that is due to the emulsification of the sugar syrup and extracted lemon oils. Ther e are v a r i ab le recipes, some contain pistachio nuts and an alcoholic addition of vodka. The alcoholic content of Limoncello can be in the region of 28 to 32 per cent so be careful on the amount you drink as it can be very Moorish! However, it is usually served in a small shot glass after diner as it is good to help the digestive system. To appreciate Limoncello to its fullest, it should b e se r v e d a t a v e r y c o ld

THE Magdalena is what the English would describe as a sweet cup cake eaten with afternoon tea or at parties, but in Spain these are widely consumed for breakfast. The Spanish people love these, but they actually originate from France where they are known as Madeleines and they were named after their baker, a little lady called Madeleine Paulmier. She is said to have prepared these delicious sweet little cup cakes for the King of Poland, Stanislas Leszczynski back in 1751! It is noted that Magdalenas became more popular through being mentioned in a novel called Marcel Proust, where the author described the smell and taste of the then named Madeleines. Others say that she gave the cakes to pilgrimages when she
travelled and that is how they caught on. However the stories go they have sustained their popularity since then. So good news travels fast and so does taste, as after not too long these little cup cakes were being baked all over Spain. They are a must to try, lots of the local folk enjoy dunking them in their coffee, a similarity to the chocolate and churros ritual you find here. The perfect and traditional Magdalena is made up of eggs, sugar, butter, flour and baking powder, and the zest of a lemon which gives them that little kick.

Coffee on the rocks is great for summer time IN most of the bars in Spain, coffee is offered in many variations By Wendy Ann Cowham IN most of the bars in Spain you can be offered many variations of coffee, so it’s a good way to find the perfect pick me up at your preferred strength. The most common morning coffee for the native Spanish is the Cafe Solo which is very strong and dark and is usually served in a tiny glass or small cup, probably because the taste is so intense the size is sufficient to get your caffeine fix for the day. Cafe con Leche is common to the British as it is half coffee and half hot milk, but a Cafe Bombon is made with condensed milk so tends to be very sweet. Another traditional morning coffee ritual is Cafe Carajillo which is coffee without milk but a tot of Brandy or Rum in it. I am sure we have all witnessed locals enjoying that in bars, though not recommended for the workforce! Cafe Cortado is also a small, strong coffee with just a dash of milk, and the Cafe Americano is served solo in a taller glass with more hot water. Sombra (meaning shadow) is a coffee made mostly with milk and hints a shadow of coffee which is good for the lightweight coffee drinkers. During the hot months it may be a good idea to try a coffee with ice (Cafe con Hielo) or for workers that have little time to wait for a hot coffee to cool. This

is a normal Cafe con Leche served with a separate glass of ice so that you can pour the coffee over the ice. The Cafe Bombon is delicious in this way too, cold and refreshing and on the rocks for summer. Two famous brands in Spain are Illy and Lavazza. In 1933 Hungarian born Francis Illy had a passion for taste and after the Second World War he went to Italy where he studied economics. He later married and founded his own coffee company turning
his passion for the coco bean into a thriving business. In 1947 he had his first laboratory, in 1965, the first manufacturing plant, and after years of perfecting a n d revolutionising the bean selections used, Illy won The Brazil Award. From 2011 onwards the Illy coffee company have successfully supplied a huge chain of bars and restaurants with quality coffee. Lavazza is also of Italian roots and was first established in 1895 and today operates in more than 90 companies and distributors. The Lavazza family name has retained this successful business for four generations and they pride themselves in the art of combining different coffee, giving it a distinctive taste through the blending. It is branded as ‘Italy’s favourite coffee’ and Lavazza exports 46 per cent of its production today. Worldwide people have been converted to the Lavazza taste. You will see it in many bars in Spain, a must to try for coffee addicts.

Summertime summons for your sweet tooth MANY desserts were originally made by nuns to raise funds By Wendy Ann Cowham BECAUSE the land in Spain has always been rich and plenty with milk and egg produce, it seemed the obvious thing for the locals to do was to put these ingredients to good use. Many of the sweet and dessert recipes were rich in egg yolks and were made by nuns who sold their goodies to help raise money for the convents. The egg whites also came to good use and made good business, as the winemakers needed the egg whites to clarify their sherries and wines. This made life all light and fluffy for all, including the flans that were produced. Flan, is the equivalent to the
British egg custard and is a popular delicacy very much so today, and is called Crème Catalan. You can be served Crème Catalan in most eateries and it is often topped with caramel which gives body to the lightness of the flan. It is perfect to finish off a meal as it is sweet but very easy to digest. Another sweet that the nuns made in the convents were delicate sweets called ‘Suspiros de Monja’ which are golden and crispy as they are made from a sweet batter that is deep fried and
CRÈME CATALAN: Perfect to finish off a meal. dipped in icing sugar. Inside these quaint doughnut balls is the creamy centre and can sometimes include candid fruit. Chocolate is another big hit in Spain and one way that is great for all chocoholics to enjoy choice summer days is the ever popular chocolate muosse. It is light as a treat or after a meal and it is delicious when served with hazelnuts sprinkled on the top to give it an extra
kick and a crunch. Trembelaque is a must to try if you have never had the pleasure, and is another dreamy and creamy delight for hot lazy days or nights. With a mixture of coconut milk, gelatine and cinnamon, it just rolls of the tongue. Recipes vary from restaurant to restaurant but many of them pride themselves on their creative versions, a sweet sample for sure!

History of a brewing giant MAHOU-SAN MIGUEL is one of the the leading brands in the Spanish beer market. The company was founded back in 1890 in the city of Madrid with Mahou beer first produced in 1891 in Amaniel Street, Madrid where the methods used for brewing came mainly from German technology. After decades the beer became so popular that the production centre could not keep up with demand for this popular beer, so in 1961 another brewery was under construction on the outskirts of Madrid. In 1969 came the launch of Mahou Cinco Estellas which was the flagship brand as it carried a uniquely popular aromatic flavour, and beer lovers took to this quality beer. Demand for the beers con-
tinued to grow and so in 1990 a brand new brewing centre was built in Alovera which began using new modern techniques. The non-alcoholic range of Mahou was born here too. Then in the year 2001 Mahou acquired the San Miguel Company that had established itself in Spain since 1957 and from that date Mahou San Miguel was born. The company has gone from strength to strength, year after year. Only last year Mahou San Miguel had profits around €168 million. In May 2015, Mahou San Miguel was tipped as Spain’s leading brewer. The company has now begun to brew in India. This mouth quenching beer is loved internationally, and we are so fortunate to have it very close on tap.

OR the first time in more than 25 years the Spanish artist Francisco Zurbaran is the subject of a major exhibition at the Thyssen-Bornemisza museum in Madrid, organised in conjunction with the Museum Kunstpalast in Dusseldorf. One of the most important figures of the golden age of Spanish art, Francisco Zurbaran was born in Fuente de Cantos, Extremadura, on November 7, 1598. He showed an aptitude for art at an early age and in 1614, when he was only 16, his father, a merchant, sent him to Sevilla to become apprentice to the artist, Pedro Diaz de Villanueva. His first works, commissioned by religious orders, and for which he is best known, depicted monks, priests, nuns and virgin saints in monasteries and churches wearing their traditional austere robes. He became known as the Spanish Caravaggio with his brilliant use of the techniques of chiaroscuro contrasting the white robes of monks against dark backgrounds. His works appeared in the Sevilla Cathedral and the Carthusian monastery of Santa Maria de las Cuevas. In1626 he signed a contract to provide paintings for the Dominican Priory of San Pablo et Real, by which time he had moved permanently to Sevilla. The dramatic, sombre interpretation of the Christ crucified on the cross, presented in 1627, established his reputation. During his years in Sevilla, working with his apprentices, he began a series of portraits depicting martyred, virgin saints which was a subject appreciated at the time. These paintings were radically different to all the other religious works Zurbaran produced. Instead of portraits of priests or nuns in religious attire, the artist embarked on a totally original approach depicting his saints as elegant young women wearing lavish, colourful, rich clothes. The paintings of the saints were undertaken over a period lasting 20 years between 1630 and 1650 and most were probably commissioned. They were chosen from the virgin saints who had become martyrs over a period spanning more than 1000 years between the sec-
ZURBARAN’S SAINTS: Santa Casilda and married a wealthy widow, Beatriz de Morales. The marriage lasted until her death in May 1639 and it was five years before he married again in 1644 to another wealthy widow, Leonor de Torder. Zurbaran had several children from his marriages. In 1658, out of favour in Sevilla, he moved to Madrid with his family, where he was able to renew contact with his contemporary, Diego Velazquez. Despite his talent and success achieved during his lifetime, his popularity declined and he ended his life in poverty, dying in relative obscurity. While the majority of his religious works can be seen in the Guadalupe Monastery in Spain’s Extremadura region, 13 of his paintings found their way to Auckland Castle in Durham. They were acquired in 1756 by the Bishop, Richard Trevor for his residence. The paintings, depicting Jacob and his sons, adorn the walls of the castle’s dining room, built specifically to house them, where they have hung for 250 years. They remained in the possession of the Church of England until in 2011 the Church sold the castle and works to a philanthropist, Jonathan Ruffer, who plans to reopen the castle allowing the paintings to be seen by the public.

Their royal marriages had made them Queens and they had given birth to children. That is why they are depicted with crowns. Today Zurbaran’s Saints are in public and private collections around the world and over the past 50 years their serene appearance in such a variety of costumes and colours has had a profound influence on many modern couturiers including Balenciaga, who once used the dress of Santa Casilda as a model for his fashions. In 1634 he was invited to become an official artist to the King, Philip IV, but his style was less appreciated than Murillo, a favourite of the Spanish baroque period and of course he had to compete with Velazquez, who was also from Sevilla. Zurbaran’s painting of the Defence of Cadiz against the English is an example of the work he undertook for the Court illustrating military conflicts. In April 1639 he
The exhibition will run until September 13 in Madrid before being transferred to Dusseldorf where the paintings will be on show from October 10 until January 31, 2016. SANTA ISABEL was commissioned to paint several portraits for the sacristy in the monastery of Guadalupe in Extremadura. These are possibly his finest legacy, comprising 10 large paintings for the sacristy with nine smaller works around the alterpiece. They all depict prominent
members of the Hieronymite order with no less than eight representations of Saint Jerome. His personal life was not short of traumas. It was in Sevilla in 1617 that he met and married Maria Paez, at 28, nine years his senior, but she died after only six years of marriage. In 1625 he met

Keeping your dog cool in the summer ENSURE there is plenty of shade

TAKE special care of your dog in hot summer months as dogs have inefficient cooling systems compared to humans. The sweat glands are in the tongue and paw pads, the primary method of sweating being the obvious one of panting. If a muzzle or a respiratory blockage interferes with this ability to pant, a dog may overheat quickly. Obese dogs suffer most. Never exercise a dog in the heat of the day and keep his weight under control. Make sure there is plenty of shade and water.
KEEPING COOL: Never exercise a dog in the heat.
Temperatures of more than 40ºC can result in rapid panting, bright red gums, tongue and other mucus membranes, vomiting, watery and bloody
diarrhoea and staggering. Thick saliva is also a sign of an impending heat stroke. If a dog is not treated immediately it is possible that coma, respiratory collapse and death can result. If there are signs of heat stroke cool the dog off by submerging it in tepid water before taking it to a vet. Flap a towel to fan the dog and allow gradual cooling. Cooling a dog that is in shock too fast with cold water can cause further problems, even hypothermia. Certainly do not use ice water as this could result in a narrowing of the arteries to the skin, meaning the dog will retain the heat longer. Do not leave dogs in cars even with the windows down. If you see a dog in an unattended car in hot weather for more than five minutes call the police. Keep water in the boot of the car and out of the sun, dogs do not like warm or hot water. Hot pavements, tarmac and sand on a beach can burn paws. Jogging with your dog running behind is also unwise as is making your dog run behind a car. Remember young or small dogs take 10 steps to our one and young dogs need most of their energy for growing. Don’t clip long-haired dogs too short otherwise there is the danger of the skin being sun burnt, their coats are for protection against cold weather and the sun.
HAPPY DONKEYS: Helping to create fire-breaks.
Donkeys help firefighting THE Happy Donkey Association is not the first organisation that springs t o m i nd when we t hi nk about tackling forest fires. But preventing forest fires is a top notch career for donkeys of Doñana National Park in Andalucia. One of t he m ai n weapons the fire brigade has against forest fires is creating fire-breaks in the vegetation so the fire cannot spread.

Costas are bucking negative price trend SLIGHT drop in property prices for first quarter of 2015 By Jo Harvie A SLIGHT drop has been registered in property prices for the first quarter of 2015, according to several analyses, although the Costas are bucking the trend with prices increasing. The Ministry of Public
Works’ figures found a small year-on-year decrease in the average cost per square metre of housing, with the first quarter of 2015, 0.1 per cent lower than the same period last year. The average comes in at €1,457.9 per square metre. The drop, however, is the
slightest fall in prices registered since the property bubble burst, yet another indication of stabilisation in the market. According to the ministry, however, a few regions registered small increases, including Valencia (0.69 per cent) and Andalucia (0.05 per cent).
ON THE UP: Prices are increasing in coastal areas.

Ensure you grow some vitamins to eat as human nature intended SLOW FOOD movement recommends we should try and eat local produce to sustain the local economy Dick Handscombe
Gardening Corner
should try and eat local produce to sustain the local economy and reduce distribution and warehousing costs.
By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.
DAILY we read advertisements and articles attempting to persuade us to buy manufactured vitamin tablets to supplement vitamin deficient diets. How much better to eat the vitamins as nature intended by growing and eating fruit and vegetables known to contain the main vitamins and minerals that we apparently need for continuous good health or for recovery of illnesses. Interestingly the labels on some bottles of vitamin pills include the note ‘Not intended as a substitute for a balanced diet.’ Further, health authorities worldwide now recommend that we eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day for their vitamin and mineral contents, while others emphasise that these are best if fresh and grown ecologically/organically without the use of chemical fertilisers, insecticides and fungicides. In addition the Slow Food movement recommends we
Growing your own in an allotment means you can focus on fruit and vegetables with the greatest beneficial vitamin and mineral contents.
So let’s do it by growing our own in containers on apartment terraces, in raised beds in small gardens, in the open garden or if convenient an allotment/huerto. The great advantages are that you can focus on growing those fruits and vegetables with the greatest beneficial vitamin and mineral contents and harvest each day just what is required for each meal or day to prevent storage degradations. To help you understand which vitamins, minerals etc are of benefit to your wellness and which vegetables and fruits are beneficial, descriptive tables
FRUIT & VEG: Eat at last five portions a day. are included in my book ‘Living well from our garden Mediterranean style.’ Incidentally I am interested in talking about this topic as well as general gardening topics to social and gardening clubs.
Whatever you select to grow consider including anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory vitamin/mineral rich foods. Include plenty of dark green acelga (chard) and spinach leaves, sprouting broccoli, tomatoes, nasturtium flowers and leaves, rocket, garlic, onions, tomatoes,
radishes, beetroots and carrots. As for fruit, aim to be able to harvest something on every day of the year to give seasonal diversity ranging from vitamin C packed mandarins and oranges from October to May, red raspberries from May to November
and by planting a perpetually flowering and fruiting Lunar lemon tree, healthy lemons can be harvested 365 days a year. As a novelty plant try a Citrus medica var.sarcodactylis lemon tree. The common name is Buddha’s hand as it resembles a half open fist. Remember working in the garden, on the vegetable plot or in the orchard stimulates the production of natural vitamin D.
Safety measures for children HOMES can be full of dangers for the smallest members of the family. Children are curious by nature and tend to explore their home and surroundings, ignoring risks they may face. Following recent warnings by the OCU Consumers’ and Users’ Organisation regarding some stair gates, a review of basic safety measures for homes with babies seemed in order. Patrull Klamma and Patrull Smidig gates purchased before March 2 this year were reported to be unsafe for use at the top of stairs. Statistics reveal the kitchen, bathroom and living room are the most dangerous rooms in the house for children, and the majority of visits to A&E are caused by domestic accidents. Yet a few simple steps can make the home safe. • Bars and gates Safety bars and gates can help avoid
STAIR GATES: Can help avoid falls on stairs and balconies.
falls and should be placed on stairs, balconies, windows, doors, etc. • Safe sockets Electrical sockets tend to be at a height which begs little fingers to explore. Various types of protectors can be found on the market. • Door and drawer locks Specific child-proof products can be found to make sure small people cannot get into cupboards and drawers holding potentially lethal items. • Bathroom risks Slippery surfaces are dangerous enough for adults in bathrooms, let alone for children. Non-slip mats or stickers for baths and showers are a must, as are locks to stop tiny tots trying to learn to swim in the toilet. Bath toys that change colour when the water is too hot are another great idea to avoid painful burns.

Two options for white van man A quick look at the variety of commercial vans available today and their specs By Steve Walsh WITH a plethora of shapes, sizes, weights, volumes, power options, and comfort levels available to the working man when it comes to choosing his van, we can understand why the majority of them are white. After many frustrating days, and sometimes weeks of trying to decide which of the dozens of models will serve his needs the best in the following years, and which will offer the best value for money, is it any wonder that when the salesman finally asks: “And which colour would sir like?” the answer is typically barked: “I don’t care. Just give me a white one!” In order to assist in some way, and although we cannot cover all categories, we take a look quick look at what is available from the top two favourites in 2015.
The 2015 Ford Transit Body options for the new Transit range from the standard van cab with two/three seats, to Double Cabin in Van with seven seats. Variations consist of, Chassis cab or double Chassis cab options. All of these are available in short, medium, long, long extended, or jumbo long extended versions, with low or high top rooflines. The largest options boast a maximum load area of up to 15.1m3 and the flexibility to stow items up to 4.2m long. There’s also a maximum trailer plate of up to 3.5 tons. Other features include: Ford SYNC with AppLink and Emergency Assistance lets you control your music and make and receive calls on your mobile, using sim-
ple, direct voice commands. As well as Adaptive Cruise Control, rear view camera, and parking distance sensors. Transit is powered by a range of three, advanced 2.2 litre TDCi engines. Via a six-speed, front, rear and all-wheel drive transmission, these new powertrains deliver either 100, 125 or 155PS and up to 385Nm of torque for maximum pulling power and few-
The 2015 Renault Trafic
With less choice in lengths and variations you may be tempted to overlook what R e n a u l t s h a v e t o o ff e r. However, that would be a mistake! There is a reason that the Renault Trafic is the second most popular van of its class in the world.

Its additional flap under the passenger bench allows you to carry items up to 4.15 metres long (lwb) and with a clever internal roof rack. The Trafic offers a range of engines that bring together economy, flexibility and performance. The en-
ergy dci twin turbo engine means you can get fuel economy above 49mpg. Prices start at around €29,000 for the basic SL27 dCi 90. The extra creature comforts and the ability to have a mobile office in the cab may sway your decision, not to mention they have nine other colours apart from white!
THE Festival of Speed and the Revival, are basically the largest motoring garden parties in the world, and June 26 - 28 will see Goodwood buttering scones and cutting the crusts off the cucumber sandwiches to start the season off. This year is to be marked with a legendary Cobra reunion. Fifty years since the debut of one of the most iconic GT cars of all time - the Shelby Daytona Coupe - the only cars of their kind will be together again at Goodwood, with a never-before-seen collection of the V8 racers. Just six Daytona Coupes were ever produced and all of them are set to

appear at the Revival. Two will race in the showpiece RAC Tourist Trophy on the Sunday, while all six will take part in a special demonstration run each day. Based originally on the British ACAce, the Cobra came into being after legendary American racer Carroll Shelby - one of only two men to win at Le Mans in an Aston Martin - began fitting Ford V8 engines and strengthened gearboxes to rebodied machines from the Thames Ditton-based constructor. And the rest is legend!

Short game guide: use your imagination LET the image of shot come through to your hands Jordan Gibb (European Challenge Tour Player)
TOUR PERSPECTIVE Your weekly guide to better golf
HAVING covered a few basic short game shots over the last couple of weeks, I want to talk to you about developing your range of shots and creativity around the green. If you can put the ball close with your basic chips and standard bunker shots then you are already well ahead of the curve and will be saving shots. Beyond these basic movements, there are countless shots you can play around with. The high lob will be similar in technique to your bunker swing. Practise it, learn to commit to the shot, swinging positively through to a finish, a requisite for every golf shot. The low, checking pitch will
VISUALISE: Make the swing you imagine will get the ball close to the hole. be an extension of the basic chip with a little more wrist hinge. Again the key is swinging positively
through the ball. The next step in improving around the greens is to improve
your imagination. Before each shot, visualise the flight of your chip, where it lands, how it runs out, breaks towards the hole. This process will help you as you start to make your practice swings as the brain now has a clear intention. Your practice swings should represent that vision, let the image of the shot come to your hands. It all sounds a bit mystical but really we are just becoming more absorbed in what we are doing. Don’t waste your practice swing, make the swing that you imagine will get the ball close to the hole, imagine the strike, watch the ball and your body will tell you if that is the right swing. Trust that feedback, our sub-conscious is much smarter than our conscious minds in executing these shots. The more you do this, learning to concentrate and ‘get into the shot’ you will find that things happen automatically. You will picture a low running chip or high soft shot and set up accordingly without a con-
scious thought. At times, you will struggle to picture a shot. In this situation, start making practice swings and feel the shot in your fingertips. Your mind will actually come up with an answer for you more often than not. So, this week, play around with your short game, experiment and learn some new tricks. Remember, concentration is not something you have to force, it is natural. We have all sat and watched TV, oblivious to someone trying to talk to us. If we can become absorbed by a TV show, we can do the same with our golf. Next week, I will be answering some of your questions so please don’t hesitate to contact me via www.jordangibbgolf.com. There are limited memberships still available for the 2015-16 JG Club so get in touch today. EWN readers will receive a 15 per cent discount when quoting code EWN JG Club.
IBEX Insurance sponsors charity golf day THE Andalucian Nomads Golfing Society, along with IBEX Insurance, came out to play a fun game of charity golf on a very hot summer afternoon on Thursday June 4. The event was to raise money for the La Cala Diabetics Support Group founded by Anne Bowles in 2003. IBEX Insurance not only sponsored the event but many members of the company joined in the competition, including Co-director of IBEX, Richard Hill. The Andalucian Nomads Golfing Society (ANGS) now pride themselves on having 191 members, and they play at Mijas Golf Course every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, so they were well prepared for the big event. There were 14 teams of four that had a staggered tee-off time. The buggies were at the ready and players eager to get to the game. The ANGS and the La Cala Diabetics Support group would like to thank Co-directors of IBEX, Richard Hill and Philip Langley, and also business development manager, Paul Hopper, for sponsoring this needy charity. There will be an update on winners and funds raised after the results are announced at Hotel Tamisa Golf after their celebratory dinner.
