Pledge made to help illegal immigrants MALAGA sees 119 per cent rise as boats head for coastline Cordon Press

Fair gets busier MORE than 140,000 people turned out this year for Marbella’s San Bernabe fair, the Festivities Department has estimated.

The new fairground, set up this year on 100,000 square metres of land by La Cañada shopping centre, proved a great success with more casetas and performers, and a free bus service laid on by the council.

Petition delivered CSIF nurses’ union has handed in 2,900 signatures to the Equality, Health and Social Policies delegation to demand Carlos Haya A&E staff deficiencies are resolved.

The signatures came from SAS Andalucian Health Service staff and users in Malaga to back up doctors who have been out on strike for three weeks to demand more staff.

HUMANITARIAN EFFORT: Many organisations are working to rescue and care for immigrants.

By Steve Walsh WITH the plight of tens of thousands of illegal immigrants trying to reach Europe – many dying in the process – the Andalucian regional government has pledged to

throw its weight behind their welfare.

Government Delegate to Andalucia Antonio Sanz made that clear this week when he said: “The government supports and recognises the organisations and institutions working in the rescue and care of im-

migrants arriving on the Andalucian coast.”

According to the Guardia Civil, there has been a 119 per cent increase in the number of immigrants trying to reach the Malaga coastline this year.

RAW SKILL: Local men use only their body strength to subdue the horses.

By Steve Walsh RAPA DAS BESTAS, or The Capture of the Beasts, is an event held in June to mark the start of a summer tradition in Mougas, North West Spain, where hundreds of wild horses are rounded up, trimmed and groomed.

There, and in different villages throughout Galicia, the ritual involves rounding up and catching the wild horses from the mountains, cutting the manes of the animals, who live in a semi-feral state, before delousing them and marking the young.

186 Spanish towns with more than 20,000 inhabitants are now governed

by PSOE socialist party mayors. This follows flurries of last-minute pacts and agreements prior to investiture ceremonies held all over the country last Saturday (June 13).

Dating back to the eighth century, the ownership of these horses is split between individuals, villages or parishes.

It is their responsibility to catch, clean, mark, (nowadays with a microchip) and return the horses back into the mountains. The direct translation means The Scrape of the Mares.

The most famous of the round-ups is in Sabucedo, Pontevedra, where more than 600 horses are corralled and restrained each year for the clipping and marking. The art in this case is that no instruments are used to subdue the animals. The men use their body strength and raw skill to complete the job.

TOMORROW (June 19) marks the first anniversary of the coronation of King Felipe VI. A year on, the monarchy’s popularity seems to have increased among the Spanish people.

Quote of the Week While those that have been stealing and lying for years are still in their posts, Guille Zapata has taken responsibility for his acts. They can’t stop change,” said Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias on Twitter referring to the Madrid Ahora councillor’s decision to stand down.

Province needs more firefighters say union THE Infoca forest firefighting team in Malaga only has 75 per cent of the members it needs, Comisiones Obreras trade union has reported.

Union spokesman Jesus Guzman said that at least 50

more firefighters were urgently needed and urged the Environmental Board to fulfil a promise it made last January to take on more firefighters.

The union explained that the lack of staff was causing prob-

lems as fighters had to be moved in from other areas when a fire broke out.

Teams are made up of seven members, and fighters are not allowed to begin trying to put blazes out until the team is

complete, meaning stressed firefighters sometimes have to watch flames helplessly while waiting for colleagues from further away to arrive at the scene.

This means the service is less efficient than it should be and

also increases the stress levels fighters face at this time of year.

The union also said workers from other departments of the Environmental Agency were having to help out and face flames without training.

Court rules Benalmadena must compensate marina residents AFTER a 14-year battle measures will also be put in place to control noise pollution

By Eleanor Hawkins AN ADMINISTRATIVE court in Malaga has decided Benalmadena Council will have to pay compensation to Puerto Marina residents for failing to meet regulations and address noise problems in the area.

The court sentence states the obligation of the council to make sure that noise control regulations are met, using any steps necessary to ensure disturbances do not exceed legal limits and avoid noise pollution that can affect residents’ fundamental rights.

The sentence also demands that noise control equipment and soundproofing be put in place and any premises that fail to meet these regulations be closed down immediately.

Finally, the judge ordered the town hall to compensate the claimants using the market rental price for their homes since September 2011 to calculate the amounts to be paid.

“It’s great news for everyone. We

started off almost 14 years ago by complaining at the town hall and in the end we had to take the case to court,” explained Francisco Ruiz,

local resident and spokesman for the Platform Against Noise in Benalmadena.

One of the worst affected communities was Pueblo Marinero, with 243 owners, many of whom were forced to leave to get away from the noise.

“The area is almost empty. It’s hard to live when your fundamental rights are being stamped on day in day out,” Ruiz said.

Altogether, 540 homes were affected by the noise.

The amount the council will have to pay out is not yet clear. “We’re talking to our lawyer to find out how much it will be, but it’s a shame Benalmadena taxpayers will end up having to pay for the various councils’ lack of action,” the spokesman stated.

A similar case in Torre del Mar, where residents suffered excess noise for 13 years, resulted in Velez-Malaga Council having to pay out €2.8 million in compensation.

Sally Anne Bowman killer confesses to Fuengirola rape MARK DIXIE, currently serving life, is said to have made a written confession

By Dilip Kuner THE killer of Sally Anne Bowman has allegedly admitted to the rape of a woman in Spain for which another man has been behind bars for 11 years.

Mark Dixie, 44, (pictured) who is serving life in the UK for killing the 18-year-old model, is said to have made a written confession to the brutal rape in Fuengirola for which Dutchman Romano van der Dussen was convicted and jailed for 15-and-a-half years.

Dutch forensic scientists are also reported to have matched his DNA to that found on the rape victim.

Van der Dussen’s lawyer, Rachel Imamkhansaid, stated: “Mark Dixie confessed that in 2003 he was living in Fuengirola and he remembers committing a rape that Romano van der Dussen has been convicted of.”

In the terrifying assaults one woman was punched, thrown to the floor and raped in a 15-minute ordeal. She spent four days in hospital.

Soon after the first attack another woman suffered a similar fate, and a third woman was again punched and sexually assaulted just a few hundred yards away.

School’s precision team work as children are led to safety FIRE swept towards the building across farmland and forced pupils to evacuate

By Wendy Ann Cowham A COSTA del Sol School had to be evacuated on Friday (June 12) as a fire swept towards it across farmland, the second registered in the area in just two days.

Staff and pupils had to leave St Anthony’s College on the Camino Viejo del Coin between Fuengirola and Alhaurin el Grande as a precaution when the fire came perilously close to the school.

Susanna Mulligan, Headmistress of St Anthony’s College was in the classroom that was the nearest to where the fire started. She told the Euro Weekly News: “The children were sitting their maths exam at 11.30 am when I heard a noise which I thought was dripping water.

WELL DONE: Staff and pupils had to leave St Anthony’s College on Friday.

“When I looked out of the windows to the campo, I saw that it was a fire and the noise was the sound of dry grass burning. I then sounded the alarm and the rest of the teachers reacted incredibly quickly.

“All of the children were out of the classrooms and in the car park within minutes, and everyone showed immaculate team work.”

She went on to say that the fire services and Guardia Civil

arrived within minutes. “They helped the teachers make sure that all children were accounted for and then they suggested that we move to the other side of the road, which is when the Racquet Club staff offered to take

in the students and give them some refreshments.”

She added: “Meanwhile the fire services worked efficiently to conquer the fire, and luck was on our side as the wind changed, pushing the fire away from the school. I am so proud of my staff for showing their assertiveness in this situation.”

Afterwards Susanna commented: “The children normally enjoy a swim in the pool on a Saturday, but the fire helicopters have used the water!

Thank goodness we had that to help put out the fire.”

Susanna and her staff would like to give a huge thank you to the fire services, the police, the Racquet Club and also the residents of La Cala Hills who offered their immediate help.

No one was hurt in the fire, the cause of which is unknown.

PACTS have brought in changes at many Costa town halls this weekend, with new mayors taking over in Marbella, Torremolinos, Benalmadena and Mijas.

May 24 will be remembered as the start of a new political era across much of the Costa del Sol. Voters relieved many long-term leaderships of their absolute majorities and pacts have ended up kicking out mayors who had thought they were safe.

Apart from Fuengirola and Estepona, where the Partido Popular (PP) renewed their absolute majorities, power has changed hands as mayors were sworn in on Saturday (June 13).

In Marbella, the socialist PSOE party has returned to power and 44-year-old Jose Bernal took the mayoral post from Angeles Muñoz following OSP Opcion Sampedreña’s decision to join a socialist pact.

Formed by PSOE, OSP, Izquierda Unida (IU) and Costa del Sol Si Puede, the new group will hold 14 seats in the council while the PP becomes the opposition with 13 seats.

The PP also lost one of its traditional Andalucian bastions in Torremolinos, where Ciudadanos, Costa del Sol Si Puede and IU all decided to support PSOE leader Jose Ortiz. PP candidate and acting mayor Pedro Fernandez Montes therefore had to hand over his post after 20 years.

Benalmadena was also turned red as PSOE candidate Victor Navas was sworn in as mayor thanks to support from Ciudadanos, IU, Costa del Sol Si Puede and local group Alternativa Por Benalmadena.

In Mijas, a last-minute pact between PP and Ciudadanos saw the leader of the latter, Juan Carlos Maldonado, sworn in as mayor.

Brutal brothers jailed THE pair beat their victims with golf clubs until he passed out

By Eleanor Hawkins

TWO brothers have been jailed for nine years for almost killing another man by beating him with golf clubs in a revenge attack.

In September 2012, two men approached a third in a bakery in Mijas and attacked him with a golf club and a metal bar.

9 years in prison is the sentence handed down to the two brothers for attempted manslaughter

Witnesses broke up the fight, and the attackers quickly left the scene.

But that was not the end

of the matter, as the victim’s brother told police officers he would take things further.

An hour later the victim of the first attack and his brother caught up with the original assailants, who in the meantime had been relieved of their weapons by police, and exacted a brutal revenge.

They attacked the two men with golf clubs and al-

though a passing police patrol stopped upon spotting the fight and tried to break it up, one of the brothers continued to beat his victim until he passed out.

A Malaga provincial court judge has found the brothers guilty of attempted manslaughter and, along with the jail sentence, ordered them to pay almost €70,000 in damages.

Facing 20 years THE Public Prosecutor’s Office is requesting a 20year jail sentence for a man who allegedly killed his exgirlfriend.

The woman, a popular English teacher at Mar Argentea school in Torremolinos, had ended their sevenyear relationship just days beforehand. The accused is believed to have held her responsible for a heart attack he had suffered not long before.

The prosecution believes that on March 5, 2014, 46year-old Carlos R bought a 25cm long kitchen knife before going to visit Ana Isabel to hand over some documents she needed.

An argument allegedly broke out, and the prosecution accuses Carlos R of slitting the woman’s throat and killing her.

Her body was later found at home by her parents, who were staying with her at the time.

cities around the world have organised Red Shoe events.

June 12, aimed to recreate an initiative thought up by Mexican artist Elina Chauvet in 2009.

After realising that society had grown used to posters regarding murders and disap-

pearances in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, Chauvet decided to use red shoes as a contemporary way to raise awareness on the subject of violence towards women.

The project uses shoes dyed red because shoes are often the first thing that appears before bodies of missing women are found. Elina invited the

public to write messages against violence on pieces of paper and put them inside the shoes, turning the event into a collective memorial to victims.

Malaga was the 40th city to hold a Red Shoes event, the third in Spain, and the one that managed to collect the most shoes.

EURO WOMEN PAGE

A true fairy godmother 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.

Jody Kirby, from Benidoleig, is a true Renaissance woman, running a successful business and charity.

THE first impression Jody Kirby gives is of being very attractive and charming. She has that elusive and rare gift of being able to talk to anyone, making them feel at home and welcome. She is certainly attractive but that is the least of Jody’s qualities. She is a master at handling an incredibly busy schedule that involves running the highly successful Continental Wealth Management on an international level and bringing up a family in Spain. Jody is shortly to launch a new and exciting international fashion label. And as if all those things were not enough to occupy this busy Euro Woman, she is also at the helm of Grant a Wish, one of the most active and effective charities in the region.

Grant a Wish does simply that – it grants seemingly impossible wishes for people who need a helping hand in some way or another.

And that help might be needed in a hundred different ways, for people who are sick, in danger, suffering from loneliness, or homelessness or loss. Jody and her family gather them in, providing solutions for apparently hopeless situations.

Grant a Wish, set up three years ago, is completely unique. It helps anyone who needs help - individuals, children’s homes, families in difficulties - with no set criteria to qualify for help. It also lends a hand to other charities when needed.

The single most impressive characteristic that Jody displays is her determination to achieve more in everything she undertakes, whether it is on behalf of Continen-

Killed drug addict son MALAGA Provincial Court has jailed a man in his 70s for five years for killing his drug addict son with a hammer in January 2014.

Although the father admitted in court that he had killed his son by beating him over the head while the two were alone, he explained it was not

planned and had happened in a moment of rage which he was unable to control.

The victim’s drug addiction had caused many problems within the family, to the point the father had reported him to police, and a judge had given the 40-year-old son 25 days house arrest as punishment.

Mijas Pueblo to swing with the big band sound for hot summer MIJAS PUEBLO’S atmospheric open-air auditorium will swing to the Big Band sound for the first of a series of live Hot Summer Nights concerts later this month TROMBONIST Andy Peacock has put together his own Big Band, comprised of 13 multi-national professional musicians; they are performing around Spain at selected venues to rave reviews and will perform at Mijas for the Swing Night on Thursday June 25.

‘Swing’ music has been popularised in recent years by stars such as Michael Bublé, Jamie Cullum and Harry Connick Jr who have developed huge followings.

This popularity has been enhanced by regular appearances in TV talent shows like ‘The X Factor,’ which often features a Big Band week that is very popular with participants and the audience.

The Andy Peacock Big Band will be joined by special guest Chas Burnett for two hours of music, with songs old and new in the distinctive ‘Swing’ style.

There will also be video clips featuring many of the famous names in Jazz performing their best known songs plus a special guest artist.

The Big Band will play both old and modern Jazz and Swing, ranging from the traditional sounds of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington to the more recent sounds of Bublé. Swing music became the main form of American popular music between the mid1930s and 1940s and this period became known as the Swing Era. Previously bands were smaller with only one person playing each instrument. The big band sound had more power and energy and segments of the band could work together creating a distinctive sound.

This music was also made more popular by vocalists such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Judy Garland, and Nat King Cole.

This style of music will add to the atmosphere at the Mijas auditorium which always buzzes on concert nights. The audience will be able to enjoy a choice of hot and cold food, drinks from two bars and Mojitos.

This is the first of the ‘Hot Summer Nights’ series for 2015. The series continues with top Bruce Springsteen tribute artist George Mileson and his nine-piece band (see page 42). More follow in August.

Summer swarms of jellyfish are expected along the coast THIS summer promises to see an increase in every beach-goer’s least favourite companion - the dreaded jellyfish.

The coast has enjoyed relatively mild numbers of this aquatic pest during the last three years; however, this summer’s forecasts predict swarms of jellyfish plaguing swimmers.

Predicting how many jellyfish will appear and where they will end up is not an exact science; however, the first concentrations of the season indicate this will be a high-risk summer.

Lack of spring rains is one of the factors responsible for the elevated threat, as accumulated fresh water along the breakwater can act as a natural barrier to the marine invertebrates.

Other contributing factors include fewer predators, warmer waters and increased pollution, which provides an additional source of nutrients for the gelatinous creatures.

Prevention is key, and the Aula del Mar marine life institute has developed an app for wary swimmers that provides daily updates of jellyfish status for beaches along the Costa.

Lifeguards call for a safer summer IMPORTANT to take particular care with children

By Eleanor Hawkins A NEW report has revealed that last year 339 people drowned in Spain, leading lifeguard associations to call for precaution as the summer season is now upon us.

The report by the Spanish Association of Lifeguards and Water Rescue Technicians (AETSAS) and the Segovia Lifeguard School showed that 275 men and 64 women drowned in the country in 2014, and that most of the deaths were registered on beaches in Andalucia, Valencia and the Canary Islands.

Although people of all ages were found to be among the victims, the report gave the over 60s as the largest age group amongst the figures and revealed that a significant number were from abroad, with Germans and British people at the top of the list. Migrants who drown trying to reach Spain from Africa were not included.

Luis Miguel Pascual Gomez, technical director of Segovia Lifeguard School, stressed that it was vitally important to take particular care with children, as drowning is the most common cause of accidental death in children aged between five and 14.

Airline fined over phone line AIR EUROPA has been fined â‚Ź4,500 for forcing passengers with mobility problems to pay for calls to request airport assistance.

Regulations in Spain, and in Europe, lay down that airlines

must guarantee assistance for their passengers at airports at no extra cost.

Yet in October 2014 the State Air Security Agency issued Air Europa with the fine after discovering it was giving a num-

Although the airline changed the number to a freephone one and appealed, Spanish High Court judge Manuel Ponte has now confirmed the fine.

The sound of Springsteen hits the Costa in June

Bruce Springsteen.

FANS of ‘The Boss’ on the Costa del Sol are in for a treat this month when George Mileson brings Spain’s top Bruce Springsteen tribute band to Mijas Pueblo… featuring the full nine-piece band in Malaga for the first time MIJAS auditorium will host the concert on Friday June 26 as part of the ‘Hot Summer Nights’ series taking place in the atmospheric venue following a successful series of openair concerts there last year.

Springsteen’s songs have developed a massive following around the world over the last 30 years and many of the songs are widely known and were major hits, such as ‘Born in the USA,’ ‘Philadelphia,’ ‘Badlands,’ ‘Thunder Road’ and of course ‘Born to Run.’ Many of the most iconic artists have spawned ‘tribute bands’ enabling their music to reach all corners of the world.

George Mileson’s ‘Bruce Springsteen’ tribute band is seen as the leading one in Spain. The nine-piece band has been filling concert venues throughout Spain for many years, and this will be the first performance

with the full band in Malaga Province.

After trying his luck with baseball and basketball, George’s life changed at the age of 12 when he saw ‘The Boss’ perform at Camp Nou in his home city of Barcelona.

From then, he knew he could not be anything but a musician.

He learned several instruments and also sound engineering before forming his own band. The band’s own music had a strong Springsteen influence and their concerts became a combination of George’s own songs and many from ‘The Boss’ himself.

Now George and the band play an average of 25 of Bruce’s songs during a two-hour performance - to satisfy the demands of The Boss’s loyal followers.

The Bruce Springsteen fan club recommends George’s show and he

has been invited each of the last three years to perform at the legendary ‘Light of Day Festival’ in Asbury Park New Jersey, USA. The talented rock band ‘Stereo 80’ will open the night at Mijas.

They are masters of 80s rock, playing hits from Dire Straits, Queen, A-Ha, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Guns ‘n Roses, Kiss, ACDC and many more.

For those who like to make the most of a festival atmosphere there will be an American style ‘Hog Roast,’ Mojitos and of course ice cold beer!!

Age Concern releases warning for summer AS SUMMER arrives, Age Concern Manilva-Estepona wishes to put out a reminder on the effects of heat and how to combat them.

People living on the Costa del Sol like the sun and think they can acclimatise to it, but everyone needs to be aware of the dangers of the ferocious heat and the debilitating effects it can have.

Elderly people tend to feel the heat more and can suffer severe dehydration if precautions (which apply to people of all ages) are not taken.

It’s important to get used to heat and humidity slowly, the charity stressed, particularly before physical exertion.

Sitting or walking in direct sunlight should be avoided, keeping to

the shade, covering up well and using high factor sun cream.

Plenty of non-alcoholic liquids should be drunk during the day, and salt intake should also be supplemented.

Light, airy, loose-fitting clothing should be also be favoured, Age Concern recommended.

The charity asks that people keep an eye on elderly people in their area to make sure they enjoy the summer without suffering.

Although the charity’s shop on Calle Zaragoza, Estepona, will be closing in August to give the volunteers a well-deserved rest, the Lifeline will still be running on 650 163 928. Please note that Age Concern is not an emergency service.

Property agents in Spain: who gets the commission?

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

REAL Estate Agents (REA) in Spain have long thought that if they register a client with a property owner or developer (irrespective of whether they show them the property), they have an automatic right to receive a commission if the deal goes ahead; although it may come as a shock to many, this is not the case. The following rulings explain this: Appeal Court in Oviedo (22/2/1996): Only the broker that has effectively concluded the contract between buyer and seller is entitled to retribution, rejecting “equitable remedies” to the broker who, having intervened in some capacity in the con-

tract has nonetheless failed to close an agreement.

Appeal Court in Oviedo (27/2/1998): The elucidation of who is entitled to the commission where several REAs intervene is not an easy one for, although several REAs may have ostensibly taken part in the negotiations, it is only the REA whose actions were decisive to perform the instruction who will be entitled to a commission payment.

Supreme Court (23/2/1965): Where several independent brokers concur with each other in a transaction, remuneration will have to be paid to the one whose action(s) was a cause, even if not exclusive, of the success of the intermediation, i.e. the exchange of contracts.

Not upholding this view risks transmuting the very nature of a brokerage into a type of services contract.

These views coincide with international case law (Webranchek v LK Jacobs & Co Ltd): Where a property is listed with several agents and they compete in trying to conclude a sale by the principal to a particular third party, it is not necessarily the agent who first introduces the purchaser who is entitled to remuneration but the agent who is the effective cause of the transaction being completed.

The most immediate consequence of the application of this case law is that the commonly known action of “registering a client,” on its own, does not entitle the agency to receive a commission. On the contrary, a REA needs to prove that its endeavours have materialised, specifically, in the exchange of a purchase sale agreement (of whichever description).

Bankruptcy changes offer second chance for debt-laden Spaniards

IMF demands more economic changes THE International Monetary Fund (IMF) has praised Spain for its economic progress but has focused on areas where it suggests further reforms are needed to ensure recovery continues.

It has proposed changes to employment law so that companies are able to dismiss staff without incurring the ‘prohibitive’ costs that are currently in place. This will encourage companies to offer more con-

mitted debtors to reach a deal with creditors but as the majority of cases involved mortgage defaults, agreements were needed with banks and they generally declined, preferring to seize the property.

tracts but it also has the effect of making employment less stable. It could reflect in a negative way on the current rise in spending by those in work, as less security in their positions could encourage more saving than spending, thereby stilting economic growth.

The IMF also wants a rise in IVA which theoretically could bring more revenue but have a detrimental effect on spending.

A mixed bag for economic growth SOME G20 countries are doing much better than others

By Dilip Kuner QUARTERLY Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the G20 area - which includes Spain under the EU umbrella - grew by 0.7 per cent in the first quarter of 2015, slightly down from 0.8 per cent in the previous quarter, according to preliminary estimates.

However, the latest figures were a mixed bag with some countries doing much better than others. GDP contracted in Canada (by 0.1 per cent), the US (by 0.2 per cent), and Brazil (by 0.2 per cent), following positive growth of 0.6 per cent, 0.5 per cent and 0.3 per cent respectively in the previous quarter.

GDP growth also eased significantly in South Africa, to 0.3 per cent, compared with

OUTPUT: The EU area grew by 0.4 per cent.

1.0 per cent in the previous quarter, and to a lesser extent in Mexico, to 0.4 per cent, compared with 0.7 per cent in the previous quarter.

In Germany and the UK, it was 0.3 per cent, down from 0.7 per cent and 0.6 per cent respectively in the previous quarter.

In China and Indonesia, GDP growth slowed slightly to 1.3 per cent and 1.1 per cent respectively, compared with 1.5 per cent and 1.2 per cent respectively in the previous quarter. The EU area grew 0.4 per cent from the previous quarter, or 1 per cent on the first quarter of 2014.

Much of the increase in GDP can be put down to Spain, which has started to emerge from recession.

UNIVERSITIES in Spain are to invest in software that prevents and detects plagiarism in order to clamp down on students who copy material for their course work.

A survey by the Francisco de Vitoria University near Madrid revealed that out of 40 students aged 17 to 19, six had directly copied as much as 40 per cent of website text for a set assignment. A further eight students plagiarised up to 20 per cent.

A more worrying aspect was that students when confronted with the results of the analysis of their work were for the most part surprised that such behaviour was unacceptable.

Professor Zulema Calderón, who conducted the programme, said: “Most of them did this without intention of wrong-doing, not realising that plagiarism is wrong.”

Scrapping the cash for parts

LUCRATIVE SIDELINE: Cash sales of vehicle spares in the scrapyard sector.

SPAIN’S Tax Office is in the process of concluding a major crackdown against tax evasion by vehicle scrapyards dealing in sales of black market parts.

The scrapyard sector has always been able to conduct a lucrative sideline in cash sales of vehicle spares to private individuals and also to professional workshops and garages.

Operation Crossbow was launched to address the problem of cash changing

hands without being declared for tax, focusing on 45 companies across seven regions. The investigation concluded that around half of the sales conducted were concealed from the Treasury, to the value of around €70 million per year.

The process of investigation was complicated by the nature of the businesses being scrutinised; it is difficult to assess or evaluate how many useful parts may be saleable in a vehicle for scrap and tra-

ditionally such sales are conducted in cash.

More than 250 officials representing the tax authorities are to examine the registration of companies authorised to process scrap vehicles.

Other enquiries alongside the operation have prompted tax audits on at least 10 individuals who are shareholders and directors of the companies under investigation.

Family needs

THE entrepreneurial world has long been dictated by men, but according to a study by the University of Cambridge it appears women are gaining ground.

Females are also more likely than men to be thinking about expanding their business in the next three years.

Women playing a bigger role in small businesses is no longer big news and according to agencies that help launch small businesses, female-run ones are booming, with one agency reporting that their female clientele had jumped from 10 per cent to 25 per cent in the past few years.

Even so many women still hold back when it comes to following the dream of starting their own business. Some believe this may have something to do with opinion that has surrounded the idea of women in business in the past.

Some female business-owners say people are often surprised that they alone run a business. Others assume

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

GOING IT ALONE: Many more women are setting up small businesses. that a female-run business must be some kind of arts and crafts workshop operating out of a garage, instead of a company that posts impressive annual revenues.

Women in general don’t have enough role models when it comes to entrepreneurship. There are a lot more famous

male entrepreneurs, and this can have the effect of reinforcing the myth that women just aren’t as entrepreneurial as men.

It is often imagined that becoming an entrepreneur means giving up your personal life. This can be daunting, especially if added to the pressure of the role

women may have to play as a mother too. But many female entrepreneurs dispute this and say that leaving the corporate world to work alone actually offers a great opportunity to achieve a better work-life balance.

So, girls, if you want to branch out on your own, go for it!

Our world is ruled by corruption Ugis Riba / Shutterstock.com

FORGET FIFA, most of us can be bought if the price is right LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT I CAN’T understand why people seemed so shocked at the latest FIFA scandal.

The whole of our planet is ruled by corruption. Most of us can be bought if the price is right. It’s a bit like the old chestnut, where the woman is asked if she would go to bed with someone for a tenner. “A measly tenner,” she replies. “What do you think I am?”

“We’ve already established what you are,” comes the answer. “We’re just haggling about the price!”

The world is run by money. We see examples of it every day of our lives. The murdering Pistorius, who has been let out after just 10 months of his sentence. Do you honestly think he would have been released this early if he’d been a pauper from Soweto?

In my opinion, Blair and Bush only entered their murderous liaison because the spoils of their efforts could have been so lucrative. The Saudis, with their infinite riches,

FIFA HEADQUARTERS: Nothing suprising about the corruption scandal.

If individuals have so much money they can affect the economy of whole countries and get away with just about anything

are able to instigate infringements of just about every human right imaginable.

If individuals have so much money they can affect the economy of whole countries and get away with just about anything. Subsequently, is it not also feasible that if a num-

ber of the mega-rich were to withdraw their deposits from specific banks throughout the world, they could trigger a chain reaction that could make the last recession look like an unexpected run on a kiddie’s piggy bank? Of course they could.

These are the people who run our planet.

Not the politicians, not the elected governments, not the presidents. It is the faceless, nameless, relatively small number of multitrillionaires, who meet in clandestine locations and move their fortunes from place to place, merely to satisfy their own cravings for power.

Individuals that welcome wars and unrest, providing it doesn’t enter their own particular backyard. Ironically, of course, it is the Jews and Arabs that are the biggest investors in the world money markets.

Odd, is it not, that enemies who have existed since biblical times, now basically share complete power over the future stability of the planet?

OPINION & COMMENT

YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE - YOUR OPINION

What about OUR voting rights?

CALLS are growing for voting rights to be extended to ALL British expats living in EU member states, to give those most affected by a possible British exit a vote in the referendum. At the moment anyone who has lived abroad for more than 15 years cannot register to vote. Should long-term EU residents have the right to vote in an EU referendum?

HELEN BRADY from Aztec Hair Academy said she thought it was still important to retain the right to vote. She remarked: “Although I have totally lost ties with the UK, I think we should still have the right to vote. I do have family there and so voting would affect them. It also would affect anyone who still has property back in the UK as well but chooses to live in Spain. I am very happy living in Spain as I have a very successful business here and I am well established. But maybe when I am older, I may want to retire back to the UK, so it is good to have options.

Yes, I do think that expats should retain their right to vote in a referendum.”

A contrasting view was expressed

by JULEA DAVIES from Roy Trevor Removals. She said: “I have lived here now for 23 years and UK politics have never interested me.

The only thing that may affect

business if the UK left the EU is the importation tax, which could then have repercussions.”

JONATHAN BROADBENT of The Presidents Club International said he kept up with the local news in the UK, but was not concerned about voting. He

commented: “As for the EU referendum, I don’t think that will be a decision made quickly as there is far too much involved. The UK should remain in the EU because it is too di-

vided in itself to stand strong.”

For SHAUNA ROGERS of Ibex Insurance it was not too much of an issue. “I have been in Spain for 30 years and so have not voted in the UK. I have made my life here, so I think UK residents should have the say rather than expats. The only concern would be for business, should the UK leave the EU, and then that would affect all of us,” she believed.

An update on pension reforms in the UK

Corner

THERE are almost certainly going to be further changes ahead THE pension freedom laws which were introduced in the UK just over two months ago have certainly filled their fair share of column inches.

Since they were announced more than a year ago, opinion has gone from excitement, confusion, back to excitement and now apparently to anger, as providers and advisers struggle to meet the demands of those grappling with their pension cash.

The anger is justified in some respects, as those firms which are not delivering or who are charging exorbitant fees, are going against the promises made by the Chancellor George Osborne. However, change like this takes time to prepare for and implement and most would agree that for such wide sweeping changes, one year was just not long enough.

Things will settle down, but there are

almost certainly going to be further changes ahead, especially now a majority government will be able to push any through more easily.

So where does this leave a Spanish-based UK expat?

Well, we believe, and have maintained for a long time, that transferring your pension into a suitable overseas scheme makes financial sense, in many cases.

A QROPS can provide lump sums of up to 30 per cent, coupled with lower income tax treatment as a Spanish resident than if the scheme remained in the UK. Furthermore, if you withdraw your pension in chunks from the UK, you could be paying a substantial amount of tax which, with good financial planning, could also be reduced. QROPS also fall outside of the UK inheritance tax net, so are a very useful es-

tate planning tool too.

One of the biggest certainties with pension regulations is that their future is uncertain. As a useful election tool it is almost guaranteed that politicians will continue to meddle with them. But by transferring to a QROPS, where appropriate, you are essentially freezing the rules applied to your pension at the point it leaves the UK, thereby removing one of life’s uncertainties.

Aliens have landed in La Zenia

OUR VIEW

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.

YIPPEE! We are now eligible to vote in the UK parliamentary and European elections.

Last week we received notification from St Edmundsbury and Forest Heath Councils, that our application for postal voting had been ‘allowed.’

Considering that the letter was dated May 20; that our application had been sent in late March, giving adequate time to be processed and sent back, I am finding it difficult to comprehend why the hell they bothered at all. The UK General Election – our primary reason for applying – was held on May 7.

The last paragraph urged us not to hesitate in contacting them, should we require further information or assistance. I am thinking that perhaps I should write now to book a place on the council telescope in order to view Halley’s Comet, after all it is due quite soon in 2061.

The letter was signed by a lady who apparently is an electoral services assistant (her spelling of this title involved upper case letters at the beginning of

FLIP FLOPS: Not for driving.

Common sense or the law SAFETY FIRST: How these new lanes help cyclists sleep better at night is anyone’s guess. each word, but I cannot justify this).

It would seem that the assistant in this case should be given assistants of her own to deal with future applications. It is clearly an onerous task.

But let’s face it, all bureaucracies employ their fair share of turnips. People who are taught to keep their eyes straight ahead, looking neither to left or right, and without the wit or common sense to use that thing called discretion.

In short the epitome of jobsworths.

And boy, have we got our quota here.

We were walking to one of our local bars in La Zenia recently, which involved using the underpass beneath the N332. On emerging we were suddenly confronted with alien markings on the road. It was the asphalt version of crop circles, because there marked out in new pristine paintwork, was a cycle

lane slap bang in the centre of the road.

It indicated that cars could pass cyclists on both left and right hand sides.

This has been repeated in other parts of the Costa; obviously by way of homage to the God of health and safety – although it still has to be explained to me why this should help the cycling fraternity sleep better at night.

Further comment would be superfluous.

Stupid sanctions solve nothing TRADE boycott with Russia is hurting no one, except European Union nations Mike Walsh

The number of Russians holidaying abroad dropped by 40.3 per cent, five million choosing Crimea.

Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

THE EU is reeling from a cataclysmic €50 billion in lost trade annually as a consequence of US-inspired sanctions. Mainstream media keeps quiet about the disastrous effects on EU businesses.

Mediterranean Europe, Spain in particular, welcomed high-spending Russian tourists. Russian investment was encouraged. What happened?

The number of Russians holidaying abroad dropped by 40.3 per cent. Many now support their own holiday industry by taking their holidays at home. More than five million this year will visit sundrenched Crimea. Spain, Italy and Greece now suffer a 41, 31 and 29 per cent drop in

LOSING OUT: Spain is missing Russian spending.

tourism.

Italy lost €1 billion; there was no impact on the Russian economy.

Fed up with fruitless US /EU hostility and sanctions, Russians respond by taking their business elsewhere.

Turkey’s meat supplies to Russia increased by 940 per cent.

They are now the third largest supplier after Belarus and Brazil. Columbian and Russian trade increased by 1,000 per cent. Pakistan stepped into

NOW that the good weather is here and shorts and flip flops are standard uniform, the police and Guardia Civil will not only be checking your car over at their control points, they’ll be checking out your fashion as well.

Although it’s not illegal to drive in flip flops, backless sandals, or high heels come to that, it is strongly suggested that you don’t.

The law states that: When you drive with inappropriate footwear, (loose, wet or sandy for example) you are not in full control of the vehicle. If you then have an accident while driving, you will be fined for driving with inappropriate footwear.

Although there is no law against flip flops specifically, it is covered by article 3.1 of the RGC which states: You have to drive properly avoiding damage to people and objects. It is forbidden to drive in a negligent or reckless way.

With the imminent increase of road traffic coming up in the summer, and the inevitable heated frustrations while driving to and from the beach, the law will probably not stop the fender-benders and scrapes, but common sense might!

To throw a pair of trainers in the car for driving only takes 30 seconds, but it could save an hour or so explaining to the Guardia Civil, whose car you just hit up the backside, how your foot slipped off the clutch pedal.

the shoes of EU nations by increasing vegetable trade 18 fold.

The difference between EU produce and that of its rivals is a matter of indifference to Russians. Russians now invest in self-sufficiency. They once bought products from the Baltic States to balance the trade books. Now they grow their own.

Sanctions allegedly support Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

Yet, trade between Ukraine and Russia has increased by 141 per cent (meat); pork 10 times. US and Russian trade increased by six per cent.

Air traffic controllers’ actions could have proved disastrous IN 2010, the Spanish air traffic controllers called in sick by the hundreds as a form of protest against something they objected to. In addition, some of them acted totally illegally and irresponsibly by walking away from their radar control consuls.

Thousands of people were flying across Spain at the time. Depending on the juxtaposition of the aircraft flying those airways, many of these people were very, very close to being killed.

I would remind everyone that whilst flying over Spain, and any other country for that matter, aircraft are constantly tracked by radar and are in radio contact with controllers.

After all, I think you will appreciate that if you are seven miles above the earth, travelling at over 500 miles an hour and with nearly 1,000 aircraft on a good day in Spanish airspace, you don’t have a chance in hell of not having a collision if you don’t have someone controlling you from the ground.

Some of these potential ‘manslaughterers’ were ‘disciplined’ and lost a month’s salary. I understand one got fired! At the time, the most highlypaid was a controller who made €800,000 a year due to his excessive voluntary overtime!

These people are now causing disruption and chaos to air travel all over Spain and are potentially harming the tourist industry vital to the recovery of the Spanish economy. The reason?

They didn’t like the ‘discipline’.

Geoff Jones, Independent Aerospace Consultant (By email)

A good service TO put another side to the Telefonica debate (Letters, Issue 1562) my experience of them is quite different.

Since I joined them in 2010 any problems have been sorted out quickly and successfully. I have access to English-speaking staff. I have my online bill every month so all items are checkable.

We have been given rebates for days without service (due to builders and others damaging underground cables) without needing to ask for them. So all in all, I can only say that in the last five years I have had an excellent service.

Photographs for possible publication should be sent by email with a full caption to: photonews@euroweeklynews.com

On a visit to La Mancha, I stopped off to visit these windmills. It only needed Don Quijote to make the scene complete.

Frances Donoghue (By email)

The one tip that customers of Telefonica might find useful is one I read on a forum a few years ago.

If you want English-speaking staff, when you dial 1004, you must keep repeating English-speaking over the recorded message. It sounds bizarre but eventually you will get a person who speaks English and any time in the future that same landline calls Telefonica, it will automatically go to an English speaker.

John Moran, Guardamar del Segura (Alicante)

Badly treated MANY animals used in sporting events are treated abominably and are just commodities to be used by their owners as they wish.

Let us not forget the incident of the individual who beat his trotting horse around the head with an iron bar, causing its death, because it did not win the

race here in Mallorca. Fortunately, he has been charged and will serve a prison sentence but the horrible deed has been done.

I was indignant to read in your article on bullfighting (Issue 1562) that the taxpayer forks out €500 million in subsidies each year. I would prefer my tax money to go into education and healthcare.

A marvellous phrase comes to mind: ‘Educate the child and it will not be necessary to punish the man.’

(Pythagoras, I believe).

Olivia Qualtrough, Calvia (Mallorca)

Unfair pensions DAVID CAMERON starts a new system of pensions from April 2016 which will provide married couples in the UK with £320 per week whereas existing pensioner couples will continue to receive just £189.44.

Existing pensioners like my wife

and I had to contribute for 42 years whereas in future just 35 years will suffice; perhaps a vote-winning sop to all people who have emigrated to Britain over the years.

As I understand it, pensioners resident in the UK will get their pensions made up to this new higher rate via tax credits and other social security benefits whereas all of us expats will be left out in the cold on the old rate of £189 per couple.

To most of us pensioners, it is with a feeling of deep disgust that the UK Government has spent £51 billion of taxpayers’ cash on foreign aid in 2014 alone yet cannot see its way to give all pensioners the same new flat rate of pension in 2016.

I wanted to publicise this to as many expats as possible in the hope that somebody could petition the Human Rights people in Brussels to get this injustice overturned. It is no good petitioning the British Government as they just ignore you completely.

Mike Butcher (By email)

Clean but gone IT was good to read that the beaches of Estepona (Costa del Sol Issue 1562) make progress and that their quality improves. However, the article misses an important point: The beaches mentioned are public ones but there is nearly no beach left.

The sea has washed away the sand and grit and it becomes worse and worse every year. Thus, instead of praising achievements which are important but without any key contribution to the attractiveness of the local hotels, a solution should be found to repair the beaches at the west end of Estepona.

There are possibilities to stop the beach erosion but they are expensive.

However, it is a simple calculation: either nice beaches with a Blue Flag which attract tourists, or deserted holiday resorts because their beaches are too bad to be offered to anybody. Time flies and the sand runs!

Christian Hörig, Estepona (Malaga)

Thanks, angels I WOULD like to say a big thank you to all at Help at Home Spain for the effort they have put in.

The voluntary work they do is amazing and they are to be congratulated on their cheerful disposition and desire to be as helpful as possible.

The ladies have changed my life and I really do appreciate it, 100 per cent, so much so that I intend to make a donation the charity in my will.

I never realised just how much the service they provide is a lifesaver to someone in my position. My message is: You are all angels in disguise.

Thank you all.

Funagram

Just Joking

Unscramble the name of a type of adjustable hand tool (two words): WHY MEN RECKON

Directed by Olivier Megaton Starring: Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen, Forest Whitaker, Dougray Scott Surely not another member of Bryan Mills’s (Neeson) family could be kidnapped? The writers of the Taken franchise decided that would be a sequel too far, so this time they kill off the special agent’s ex-wife, have him framed for the murder, and once again he must use his ‘particular set of skills’ to take justice into his own hands. It’s fun nonsense.

“Dad, the career counsellor said that with a mind like mine I should study criminal law.”

“That is wonderful, son. I’m proud of you.”

“He said I had a criminal mind.”

Two kids talking: “Have you noticed, if you pass your exams everyone says you get your brains from your parents, but if you fail your exams everyone says you’re stupid.”

YOUR STARS CANCER (June 22 - July 23) There is a strong feeling of ‘self’ this week, and you realise that you have many things to be thankful for. These thoughts come after a period of uncertainty that saw a lack of progress.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) You know in your heart that you should take control of your future.

This is a time to talk with others and consider their thoughts. At the end of the day, however, you are the one who has the final say.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) At times this week you will feel that a certain relationship is not developing along the right lines.

Although it seems that your efforts are often in vain, this is a situation that requires thought and patience on your part. It is perhaps a good time to look to your business matters for a change of scene and to set your mind on a more constructive course.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) You should not feel responsible for the failings of others. Although you may think you could have done more in a certain situation, it is unlikely that any significant difference would have resulted. This is a busy time but also one in which a small persistent voice will be heard: the voice of logic and practicality. Listen to it.

TIME

(May 22 - June 21)

When you meet opposition try to use persuasion and logic to win the day. Failing that, you may decide that ‘enough is enough’ and forge ahead, anyway. In this positive mood you find yourself attractive to the opposite sex. That does not mean you have a right to be pushy. Just use your charm. Combining business with pleasure could lead to trouble, so try to keep these two areas separate.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) A long-term relationship has its wobbly moments this week, but all is not lost. Listen to your heart as it speaks louder than any other voice.

You know what you need but that may conflict with what you feel you should want. In an ideal world, these two areas would be in harmony. Give a little happiness to others and your own heart will be lighter.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Making firm decisions in your love life may prove difficult. Do not be rushed. This is far from a straightforward week and you need to remember how to relax. You are able to deal with what comes your way but it is upsetting to find that someone has been less than honest.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your sense of balance in the universe could be upset, but do not let this sour either your thoughts or your character. You are in the eye of the storm so take this time to think.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Feel sympathy for those who lack the gift of insight. Their lack of understanding upsets you, but their horizons are narrow. This is a time of giving to yourself. Look forward to some time away or indulging in something that really relaxes you.

Should you be searching for someone special, they may be close.

Nonagram How many English words of four letters or more can you make from the nine letters in our Nonagram puzzle? Each letter may be used only once (unless the letter appears twice). Each word MUST CONTAIN THE CENTRE LETTER (in this case B) and there must be AT LEAST ONE NINE LETTER WORD. Plurals, vulgarities or proper nouns are not allowed.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) This is not a time to drift into things because the planets are urging you to take control and forge ahead. Let others know exactly what you want and expect from them. If you do not, others will make decisions for you that could prove less desirable.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Someone who appears to be putting themselves in the way of your progress could simply be trying to help. They may have a valid point to make but just not be good at expressing themselves.

Be aware of this because there could be a link to your health and love life.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) With your mind sharp and energy high, you want to make fast progress and, indeed, you can. You are only too aware of the time that has been wasted waiting for others. Now, most of that may be dealt with. See how others react when you do not. Leaving others to their own devices works better than nagging.

BOOKS Inspiring story of a girl’s fight to learn

actors with most screen appearances

Following the sad death of prolific actor Christopher Lee, we wondered how many times we see a film and think we have seen that actor or actress in something else. Lots of times, right? That would be because we have. Some stars have appeared in so many films it boggles the mind. Here are some of the leading runners in the category, ‘Most appearances on film.’

1. Christopher Lee, 276 appearances.

Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee, is the full name of maybe the only actor to have starred on the big screen so frequently.

Recently noted for his roles in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, he became synonymous with the figure Dracula in the Hammer House of Horror productions from the 1960s.

2. Robert Loggia, 224 films.

Probably most famous for his role in Scarface, Loggia started on the small screen working in Disney productions. For the past 30 years or so however, it’s unlikely you will see a film that involves a senior military officer, government official, a doctor or judge that doesn’t have him in the role.

Last week saw the release on paperback of the incredible memoir of Malala Yousafzai, a girl who refused to stop attending school when the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley, Pakistan. Punished mercilessly, she was shot in the head at point-blank range.

Her survival was against all odds, but treatment in Pakistan and then at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham saved her life. Her commitment to campaigning for the universal right to education has never waivered, her efforts recognised when she became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Her story is an extraordinary, inspiring tale of the triumph of the human spirit. If you think things can never change, maybe Malala could change your mind. books@euroweeklynews.com

3. Ernest Borgnine, 204 movies.

Ernest Borgnine was born Ermes Effron Borgnino in 1917. The Italian immigrant is best known as a supporting actor, however from The Wild Bunch to Blue Thunder, through the many Westerns, and up to Escape from New York, Borgnine has proved a favourite.

4. James Earl Jones, 183 films.

James Earl Jones from Mississippi is surely one of the most versatile actors of his generation. Launched into stardom with the role of Kunta Kinte in Roots, his distinctive voice won him many authority positions on screen, not least in The Lion King, and as Darth Vader in Star Wars.

5. Louis Gossett Jr. 173 films.

Making his professional acting debut at the age of 17, the Brooklyn-born actor originally considered a sports career when he went to New York University

Sudoku

6. Donald Sutherland, 172 movies.

This Canadian character actor is not often noticed, unless you watch Invasion of the Body snatchers often, but his contributions are legendary. His skills in the industry are known to be boundless. Unlike many of his contemporaries, his 172 performances would appear to be portraying 172 different characters.

7. Michael Caine, 156 films.

Maurice Joseph Micklewhite made the wise choice of changing his name for the big screen. This cheeky cockney rose to stardom in the film Alfie, and has managed to give every role since then its own persona, despite never changing his accent. Before becoming a star, Maurice served in Korea with the British Army, “not

a lot of people know that!”

8. Samuel L. Jackson, 148 movies.

Pulp fiction star Samuel L, with a rep as the coolest man in Hollywood, was born in Washington. Since the 1980s, when he stared in three Spike Lee films, his career has been unstoppable. It’s hard to imagine a movie that requires an angry, ranting but still likable man in that doesn’t employ Jackson’s skills.

His ability to put across some of our own life arguments in a loveable way is truly an art.

9. Patty Duke, 137 movies.

Patty Duke was born Anna Marie Duke in New York. Reputed as one of the finest actresses of our lifetime, she hit the limelight in The Miracle Worker, before going on to make many TV movies. Her roles in The Valley of the Dolls, The Swarm, and The Babysitter, to name but a few have insured her face is etched in our minds.

10. Susann Sarandon, 125 films.

The star from New York City Susan Sarandon was ‘Touched’ in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, which saw her acting career burst into life. In an industry that doesn’t favour middle aged women, Sarandon is one of those rare actresses who has survived some ups and downs and continues to be in demand. Thelma and Louise, Lorenzo’s Oil, The Client and Wall Street say it all.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Take care where you pass your ITV Ayuntamiento de Valdemoro

AS part of our series, we answer some common driving questions, kindly provided by members of the Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.

ITV TEST: Best to have carried out in the region where you live.

A COMMONLY asked question for car drivers in Spain is ‘can I select any ITV station I wish?’ In theory yes, as long as it is legal and authorised.

However, there is an exception to the rule, for example, if you live in a Spanish region in which the Law of Noise Pollution 2002 was passed, such as the Valencian Community. This law requires all vehicles to pass a noise emission test. Vehicles with log books legally registered in any municipality of the Valencia Community fall within the scope of this Decree and therefore are required to undergo a verification of noise emission levels.

If an ITV inspection is carried out outside the Valencia Region, the owner must take the vehicle for an additional inspection at an

ITV station based in the Valencia Region within a month, to check for noise emissions.

If a vehicle is found to exceed the noise limits, it will be immobilised and transferred to agencies authorised for such occasions.

The owner, will be able to take the car by a tow truck to a garage for work to be carried out; the ignition must not be started.

Regional and Local Police forces are responsible for ensuring the noise policy is fulfilled and police will deliver fines for any breaches in the Spanish Region.

So wherever you live in Spain it is advisable to have the test done in your region to make sure any local regulations are complied with.

No excuses for UN Special Committee THEY now have to address Chief Minister’s questions

By Steve Walsh IN a strongly worded speech, Chief Minister Fabian Picardo on Tuesday told the Chairman of the UN Special Committee on decolonisation in New York, that he had no choice but to visit Gibraltar, and gave him a first class ticket to help him on his way.

After he had made the point that the UN decolonisation committee had dragged its heels over the matter for far too many years - almost to the point of being ignored - they now have no excuse not to address his questions.

Reminding the chairman, using several paragraphs of the UN’s ‘Implementation of the Declara-

tion on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples,’ that the committee has failed to answer the question: “Tell us whether Gibraltar reaches the maximum possible level of self-government short of independence or what else is missing in order that you determine we have reached that state of political autonomy which is necessary to be de-listed by you.” He left them in no doubt that, as he put it, “we are not going to go away Mr Chairman.”

Picardo concluded by telling him: “The Gibraltar ball is now firmly in your court. Have the courage to run with it. Or leave it to those of us who do.”

UNITED NATIONS: Have been dragging their heels.

Homes and jobs in £1.1 billion deal for Gibraltar development THE Government has entered final negotiations with Camoren Holdings Limited for the development of ‘Blue Wa-

able on a Government co-ownership scheme as well as a marina exclusively for super yachts.

There will also be commercial units for luxury shopping as well as cafes and restaurants and a a five star hotel.

The project will include provision for the development of a multi-storey car park for the Catalan Bay area which is being developed with the convenience of beach users in mind.

Trials of parking and radiotherapy

10th June

I WAS to experience the infamous delays that I had heard about Erica Russell Watson: My journey – and I’m driving SO far so good with the radiotherapy.

I started having treatments in the evening but that wasn’t suitable with two children so they kindly made an exception and gave me a morning appointment.

The disadvantage of having a morning slot is that it is tremendously difficult to park near Carlos Haya Hospital. So a few days ago I was desperately looking for a parking spot to avoid going into the car park but it was proving tough.

Suddenly I spotted an opening and whizzed across the road performing an illegal manoeuvre that did not go unnoticed by the police. My mind went into overdrive and I have to say I was a little bit wicked. I pulled my wig down to one side at a rather jaunty angle and opened my window. The police officer regarded me for a moment and asked if I was aware of my

infraction. I replied that I was terribly sorry and that I was late for my radiotherapy. He looked at me again and waved me on.

Thank Goodness! Always look on the bright side.

Today, however, was a different matter. Having been used to going in

and finishing my treatment relatively quickly, I was to experience the infamous delays that I had heard about.

When you arrive for therapy you have to deposit a little card through a postbox to let the team know you are

in the waiting room. I noticed that it seemed unusually busy.

People seemed anxious and with good reason. The machine had broken down. It was ‘my’ machine, No. 2! So we sat there for hours while the technician fixed it.

Finally it was back in action but just before I was called in, it broke down again. Typical!

Everyone was getting hungry but spirits were high and the Andalucian sense of humour carried us through.

Eventually the machine was fixed after a second breakdown and I managed to complete my session. I was against the clock as a friend was landing at Malaga airport for a flying visit.

As I write this she sits by me.

She’s a lifelong friend where no words are necessary. I feel hugely boosted by her presence. I have been in quite a dark place of late and her visit is just what the doctor ordered.

As soon as the sun is eclipsed by a cloud and life seems without purpose, a ray of light bursts out keeping your faith in hope and happiness alive.

How to get through the iPain!

TECHNOLOGY is a wonderful thing, but more and more I am seeing pain and problems due to people spending so much time hunched over their smartphones and computers.

With a desktop PC, the separate components could be adjusted for better posture. But using a laptop, tablet or smartphone, people often work away from a desk, hunched over on a sofa.

The average human head weighs between 10 and 12lbs or 4 ½ to 5kgs. This is a huge amount of weight to hold away from your body.

Imagine picking up a five-litre bottle of water and holding it at arm’s length. This is what your neck has to deal with when you sit with your chin jutting forward or neck bent. This tension can cause pain and stiffness which can radiate through the shoulders, arms and wrists and, of course, cause headaches.

Whilst it would be ideal to restrict computer, laptop, tablet and smartphone use, the modern world we live in means these are often critical to people’s lives. So what to do next?

• Sit with your elbows and lower back supported (backless bar stools are not your friend!) and the screen lifted to eye height.

• Instead of tipping your head forward to get closer to the screen, keep your spine straight with your head back and bend at the waist, this gives you a nice low back stretch at the same time • If you do work at a desk invest the time and

Woman gives birth using ovary tissue frozen when a child

GLUTEN-FREE: 29 per cent have cut gluten out of their diet.

Confusion over food allergies JUST 14 per cent of young adults recognise the symptoms of gluten intolerance

By Dilip Kuner NEW research has revealed that many Britons are ignorant about intolerances despite more than one in five people in the UK thought to have a food allergy or intolerance.

The research has revealed that more than one in 10 (11 per cent) have now switched to a gluten-free diet. Indeed 29 per cent of those aged 1824 have cut gluten out of their diet.

Despite this, ignorance of coeliac disease is still widespread. Just 14 per cent of young adults recognise the symptoms of gluten intolerance; with 9 per cent thinking ‘coeliac’ is a famous Italian restaurant! However, as a nation, 91 per cent claim to know what coeliac disease is, but of those, a muddled twothirds don’t know what the symptoms are.

Confusion continues with more than three in 10 Britons believing that gluten is a type of carbohydrate found in potatoes, breads and pasta.

Meanwhile, one in 10 do not realise pasta is not suitable for those with coeliac disease and the same have no idea beer can contain gluten. That is because gluten is a natural

protein found in wheat, rye and barley, all ingredients in many food and drinks.

Holly Wales, Product Development Director at Udi’s Gluten Free, commented: “Allergies and intolerances are on the rise and as a nation it seems we need to be more aware of such things.”

The study also revealed that other conditions which baffle us include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), with one in 20 people thinking that IBS is a Silicon Valley computer company.

On average, 50 per cent of the UK population have suffered at least one of the main symptoms of coeliac disease, but 61 per cent of those mistook the symptoms for IBS. One in 10 of us self-diagnose our symptoms, which can lead to serious problems.

Even so, only two in 10 sought help from their GP and the same amount didn’t think their symptoms were important enough to waste their GP’s time.

Brits continue to be confused over a number of conditions/illnesses and their symptoms with many (66 per cent ) confusing malaria with the flu and just one in 10 people able to recognise the true illness.

A BABY has been born to a woman using ovary tissue which was frozen when she was a child.

The young woman became the first in the world to give birth to a healthy child after doctors restored her fertility by transplanting the ovarian tissue back into her body after it was frozen when she was 11 years old.

The birth is being called a ground-breaking achievements and scientists said it will have implications for millions of young cancer patients, giving them hope that they may still be able to have children.

There have been previous cases of successful pregnancies after ovarian transplantation using tissue removed from patients when they were adults, but this case is the first where the tissue was removed before puberty.

The patient was born in the Republic of Congo and

was diagnosed with sicklecell anaemia when she was five years old.

After emigrating to Belgium, doctors decided that

her disease was so severe that she required a bone marrow transplant after undergoing chemotherapy, which can leave a person infertile so

her ovary tissue was removed. It was transplanted back at the age of 25 and she became pregnant two years later.

Painting of battle by William Sadler.

The Battle of Waterloo June 18, 1815 Exactly two hundred years ago, during the winter of 1814 until June 1815, Europe’s principal nations were locked in negotiations to determine the future of the continent at the Congress of Vienna.

P

ARTICIPANTS at the Congress of Vienna included ambassadors from virtually every European state, region and city as well as special interest groups. Their aim was to restore or modify borders to bring peace to the continent in the aftermath of the French revolution and Napoleonic wars. So much dealing was carried out at social events, it was said Congress did not move but danced. One of the principal dignitaries participating at the congress was the Duke of Wellington.

40,000 Number of French casualties However in March 2015 Napoleon escaped from the island of Elba and within 100 days had marched on Paris with his supporters to regain power.

Great Britain, Russia, Prussia and Austria refused to accept his return and despite the certainty of another war with France, on June 8, 1815, the Congress

ratified the treaties.

Napoleon had already mobilised his army and knew he would have to confront a far larger Anglo-allied force under the Duke of Wellington and the Prussians led

by Field Marshall Blucher, both of whose armies were camped near Brussels. Napoleon chose to strike first before the coalition forces were ready and on June 15 a minor skirmish near Charleroi resulted in the withdrawal of a Prussian force.

That evening, Wellington, together with many of his leading officers, were dancing at the Duchess of Richmond’s ball in Brussels when they heard about Napoleon’s surprise attack. Wellington immediately ordered a return to the field. The next 48 hours were crucial as both sides took up their positions.

A strong force led by Marechal Ney forced Wellington to withdraw northwards from Les Quatre Bras on June 16, while on June 17, Blucher’s army was defeated by the French at the battle of Lagny. He managed to withdraw during the night towards the north thus maintaining contact with Wellington who had regrouped the Anglo-Allied forces on a ridge about 1.6 kilometres south of the village of Waterloo, near Brussels. The stage was set and on the

DUKE OF WELLINGTON: Became Prime Minister.

It was the nearest run thing you ever saw in your life’ Wellington. following day, Sunday June 18, one of the most decisive battles in European history took place, changing the destiny of the continent.

The French had mustered over 75,000 infantry, cavalry and artillery troops. The Anglo-allied forces from

Britain, the Netherlands, Brunswick and Hanover, numbered around 68,000 reinforced by Blucher’s 50,000 Prussians.

The French counted on their experienced mounted lancers to charge opponents and although Wellington also used cavalry, his plan was to group his infantry in tight defensive squares. Both armies used artillery which had become a formidable weapon to weaken defences or repel attacks.

While Wellington was positioned on the north ridge, Napoleon had chosen high ground to the south, allowing both leaders to overlook the mainly flat plain, which lay between their armies from where they could implement their strategy.

To the flanks were the farmhouses of Hougoumont and La Haye Sainte and a sunken road providing cover, coveted by both forces and the scene of violent combat during the day. Part of Wellington’s tactics was to use the reverse slope of the ridge to conceal his troop strength.

Nevertheless by mid afternoon the French had the upper hand having

gained control of the farmhouses and were pushing back Wellington’s army.

Wellington retaliated by sending in the heavy cavalry of the Scot’s Greys to charge the enemy.

Coming from behind the ridge they initially surprised the French but they gradually became dispersed and were forced to pull back losing several officers in the process.

Napoleon then chose to bring in his own lancers led by Ney, but despite repeated cavalry attacks against the four man deep squares they could not break the defensive wall and were repelled under heavy fire, resulting in substantial French casualties.

Unknown to Napoleon, Wellington had been in contact with Blucher for most of the day and as the French were feeling the strain of the long battle, the Prussian forces reached the battlefield and outflanked the French army, which in turn was forced to retreat in disarray.

The battle was over.

Wellington was reputed to have said. “It was the nearest run thing you ever saw in your life.” Casualties were appalling. French losses exceeded 40,000 while the coalition lost 25,000 men, either killed wounded or captured.

Despite surrendering and being sent to the island of St Helena, where he remained a prisoner until his death in 1821, Napoleon is still revered and believed by many to have won the battle.

After half a lifetime of military action Wellington entered politics and ultimately became Prime Minister of England.

Delicious drinks for summer health HOW superfood smoothies took over the world

By Wendy Ann Cowham THE smoothie is now a worldwide fad in all walks of life, from children to health fanatics, and it’s interesting to know how this superfood came to be. It is noted to have begun on the west coast of the United States where a health food store began to sell pureed fruit back in the 1930s.

This encouraged a trend and with the addition of liquids, smoothies were being concocted at home and recipes were widely being published in cookbooks.

The most popular ingredients at the time were banana and pineap-

1930s When smoothies were first served ple and by the 1970s ice was an ingredient used that evolved the smoothie into the first ‘slush’ drink that was marketed in California.

The world went blender happy back in the 1960s and by the 1990s smoothies were everywhere from cafes to supermarkets.

Now you see smoothies on offer in most ice cream parlours which is good news for summertime sippers. Many contain soya milk, yogurt, whey powder, or even cottage cheese, but the good thing is the

nutrients that they contain are phenomenal.

To get the most benefit from the nutrients, a smoothie should be drunk within hours of being prepared as the longer they are stored, the less effective they become.

The most delicious and beneficial ingredients of the smoothie include the potassiumpacked banana, and high energy coconut milk.

DRINK UP: A great way to get fruit.

SERVED CHILLED: With pineapple, rum and coconut milk.

Piña Colada cocktails EARLIEST dates back to when a pirate gave to his crew

By Wendy Ann Cowham IF you look back in history to discover who was the first person to conjure up the delicious Piña Colada, it seems many have made claim to this popular cocktail. The earliest story dates back to the 19th century when Robert Cofresi, a Puerto Rican pirate was said to give his crew a mixture of pineapple, white rum and coconut juice to boost their moral.

Another bar tender named Ricardo Garcia also claimed that he was responsible for the recipe when he served the cocktail at the Caribe Hilton in San Juan de Puerto Rico. Then you have another bar tender, Ramón ‘Monchito’ Marrero Pérez who insisted that the Piña Colada was his creation

back in 1952 at the Beachcomber bar in San Juan.

One thing that is for sure, is that the name Piña Colada means “Strained Pineapple” in English and the coconut ingredient come from the Caribbean.

As the story goes regarding Ricardo Garcia, the Piña Colada evolved from an adaptation of the Coco Loco cocktail that was very popular in the Caribbean, a mixture of rum and coconut milk.

When served they would use the carved out coconut shell to drink the cocktail from.

However in 1954, the coconut cutters went on strike and there was a shortage of coconuts to serve the drinks in, so Garcia used his creativity and served the drink adding pineapple juice and serving it in the pineapple skin.

Honey transforms the humble aubergine TRADITIONAL Andalucian recipe uses cane sugar SOUTHERN Spain is famed for the Berenjas Fritas con Miel de Caña which is aubergines deep fried and served with ‘honey.’

This is a tapa that must be tried at least once when eating out as it is a speciality in Andalucia, and is served up in cities such as Seville, Malaga and Granada. If you are of the opinion that aubergines can taste quite bland, then this dish will alter your way of thinking, as the honey adds a lip smacking and deliciously sweet flavour.

The dish has a Moroccan influence, the delicate slices of aubergine prepared using a flour coating to draw the moisture out and make the end result crisp, dry and golden brown.

The best syrup is miel de caña which is cane honey (molasses) but ordinary honey is an option

VEGGIE HEAVEN: Fried to crisp perfection the drizzled in ‘miel de caña.’ too. The recipes vary from bar to bar, but these two flavours are meant to be together, so wherever you try them, it is

sure to be a sweet treat.

If you want to accompany this tapas with something that makes it even more spectacular,

then a salty feta cheese makes the dish outrageously delicious.

A dish to convert any aubergine unbeliever!

Use lentil power!

LENTILS are a fantastic way to put, energy, fibre, and disease fighting properties into your body. It is no wonder that vegetarians swear by them as they are not only a meat substitute in many dishes, but are packed with vital properties.

Because they provide slow burning carbohydrates, they can increase energy levels in the body and they are also an amazing source of iron. This is why women in pregnancy or growing children are advised to include lentils in their diet in some shape of form.

They contain magnesium which is a fantastic aid to the heart, improving the blood flow. Lentils are also good for diabetics as they can greatly help stabilise blood sugar levels.

They prevent digestive disorders as they are high in fibre, so they can aid sufferers of irritable bowel syndrome. For those who are watching their weight it’s good news all round, as they are low in calories.

Is your dog potentially a lethal weapon?

SOME dogs are more dangerous than others, depending on their breed

David THE Dogman Listen to David on TRE every Saturday 10am to 11am Costa del Sol (Gibraltar/Sotogrande) 98.7fm (San Roque to Calahonda) 91.9fm (Calahonda to Motril) 88.9, Costa Calida 92.7fm Costa Blanca (Torrevieja to Elche) 105.1fm (Elche to Calpe) 88.2fm, (Calpe to Gandia & Ibiza) 104.6fm, (Denia to Valencia) 95.3fm Mallorca 103.9fm

MANY people worry that their dog may be a potentially lethal weapon, especially when a case of a child being seriously hurt or even killed is in the news.

That worry is focused onto whether or not there are such things as ‘bad breeds’ which may be more dangerous than others.

It is easy to see why people may think this as different breeds have been bred for different reasons. For example some, like German Shepherds or Doberman Pinchers have been originally reared as guard dogs. The thought process is that as these duties may include the necessity of biting

DANGEROUS DOGS: More than half were provoked before an attack. people then these breeds are more likely to attack.

It is difficult to come up with statistics on dog bites as innocuous nips and minor bites may be treated at home with no more thought about it, and no record kept.

Others that require medical attention may be recorded, but not the type of

dog involved, making it difficult to identify which breeds are more likely to be involved.

Even when bites are recorded there is often no information on the breed of dog involved.

However a US National Centre for Injury Prevention and Control, does give some information based on one

Conference on animal welfare ANIMAL welfare in Spain is something expatriates are very concerned about, particularly when you live in the countryside or hunting areas.

The PAES National Animal Welfare Conference is being held at the Costa Narejos Hotel, Los Alcázares, Murcia October 16 to 18 2015, and is believed to be the first of its kind in Spain.

The conference is aimed at those who would like to learn more about running their own Trap, Neuter and Return campaigns, volunteers involved in shelters, sanctuaries, r e s c u e groups and foster pet parents, as well as anyone who wants to get involved.

Lyn Baines, Conference Manager said: “Our mis-

class of bite - those resulting in death.

Over a period of 19 years in the USA there were 238 dog bite related deaths. In a lot of those cases the animals were mixed breeds so an estimate of their makeup had to be made for the purpose of statistics.

The results show there certain breeds that are most likely to cause fa-

tal injuries, with Pitbulls or Pitbull types, (32 per cent)and Rottweillers (18 per cent). Huskys or Malamute types were responsible for 15 per cent of deaths, with German Shepherds (11 per cent) and Wolf-dog Hybrids (6 per cent.)

But while breeds do matter other factors come into play. Males were 6.2 times more likely to be involved in a fatal attack than females, while unneutered animals were 2.6 times more likely to kill.

When it came to the victims more than half were aged 12 or younger. In 53 per cent of dog bite fatalities, there was some suggestion that the dog was provoked by being struck, poked in the eye, having things thrown at it etc.

The study also found that dogs which are kept chained up or confined in small gardens and yards were three times more likely to be involved in a fatal attack.

But it should be remembered that fatal dog attacks are relatively rare, though care should be taken especially when there are children around and pets should be properly trained.

Defending your community in court IT IS not relevant whether the court case is against another owner or a third party ALTHOUGH this question regularly arises “Can an individual owner go to court to defend the interests of their community?” the answer is not generally well understood.

Many readers will think the only one who can protect the interests of a community is the community itself but it is not always the case.

On occasion a community simply cannot afford to take a case to court or for some reason decides not to go to court. Fortunately Spanish law allows any owner to instigate a court case regardless of what the community decides.

Whe n a n o wn e r t hin k s s o meth in g is amiss, for example the president or an influential owner with a large number of proxy votes wants to extend their property and tries to commandeer part of the communal garden to do so. An associate of the president is paid for a shoddy unprofessional service or poor building work or a debt goes unchallenged. If the rest of the community when put together do not have enough votes

It is not relevant whether the court case is against another owner or a third party. Even if the community had previously decided not to instigate a court case it cannot prohibit an owner from going to court, but depending on the outcome of the case, there maybe consequences.

For example a neighbour has painted their house pink and disrupted the general aes-

Spanish law allows any owner to instigate a court case regardless of what the community decides

If the owner decides to go ahead then they will be acting in defence of the community as an individual without the official support of the community.

If the court rules in favour of the owner

then the community must abide by the ruling. They may even benefit from the decision without the expense and aggravation of a court case. If the court awards costs, then the owner will be able to recuperate the money laid out as well.

However, if the case goes against the aggrieved owner and finds in favour of the owner with the pink paintbrush then there are no consequences of this for the community. The cost of the lost court case falls on to the shoulders of the owner who instigated it.

The community, even though it may have been in agreement, has no responsibility, in fact, cannot reimburse the owner for the cost of the court case. Win or lose, well intentioned or not the individual owner has acted alone and must bear the gratitude or responsibility of doing so.

As usual, we the solicitors for Intercala Administration advise the readers of our monthly article to seek competent advice in all matters relating to the law.

The ‘condo-hotel’ formula is catching on in Spain

By Eleanor Hawkins A NEW concept in property investment, the condo-hotel, is becoming more popular in Spain.

The condo-hotel formula consists of buying a hotel room, which is managed by the hotel and let out as a normal hotel room when not in use by the owner, providing both a holiday home and income at the same time.

The new trend is backed by laws in some regions of Spain and allows tourists with spare cash to invest in a new way to earn some pennies while spending up to two months per year in their rooms.

The hotel runs the room when not in use by the owner, and the income is

This summer go green and save more money CONSERVING energy is good for the planet and great for your wallet John Graham The property expert AN energy-efficient home will keep your family comfortable while saving you money.

Whether you take simple steps or make larger investments to make your home more efficient, you’ll have lower energy bills. The savings will pay for the cost of improvements and put money back into your pocket. Your home will also be more attractive to buyers if you decide to sell.

Your heating and air-conditioning equipment consume the most energy, around 48 per cent of the average home’s energy use; therefore you should focus on measures that reduce your home’s heating and cooling use to get the most saving in terms of energy investments.

Start by setting your programmable thermostat as high and as comfortable as possible and raise the setting when you’re sleeping or away

from home and don’t forget to clean air conditioning filters once a month.

If your air conditioner is old, consider buying a new, energy-efficient model which is 15 per cent more efficient.

Another option would be to use fans which consume very little energy compared to air conditioning; a fan could provide the comfort you need and is more economical.

Your home’s appliances and electronics account for around COOL DOWN COSTS: Air conditioning and heating consume half a home’s energy.

20 per cent of your energy bills. Think about buying new appliances which incorporate advanced technologies that use 10-15 per cent less energy and water than standard older models. For example, new washing machines use about 40 per cent less energy than older models and you will also reduce water bills and detergent costs.

Water heating is also a large energy expense, accounting for about 14-18 per cent of your utility bills. Make sure your water heater is set to no higher than 120 degrees. If your heater is over five years old you could buy a new water one which is more efficient and has more insulation than older models.

Ensure you start your eco plot/allotment productively MORE and more town halls are setting aside parcels of land for the provision of allotments Dick Handscombe

Gardening Corner

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

IT is very encouraging that more and more town halls are setting aside parcels of land for the provision of small allotments or plots for the growing of ecological vegeta-

bles, herbs and sometimes fruit.

In some cases, applications are sought from anyone but in others they are restricted to pensioners or unemployed people. Mostly plots seem to be free while others require just a token annual fee.

The benefits of having an allotment are as follows.

1. Space for growing if you have just a small garden area or apartment terraces and balconies.

2. A hobby that gets you out of doors throughout the year and back in touch with nature.

3. Daily fresh vegetables, herbs and perhaps fruit to eat that are untainted by chemical pesticides, insecticides and weedkillers if every allotment holder uses only ecological products.

4. The chance to grow and eat your seasonal favourites.

5. The chance to just harvest what you need and grow mini varieties so that waste is minimised after harvesting.

6. The chance to grow original heirloom and heritage va-

rieties from Spain or other countries.

Having applied for and obtained an allotment, normally on a one- or two-year renewable lease, set out to make your vegetable and fruit gardening as productive as possible.

7. New friends within what will become, in many cases, an international community.

8. A chance to improve your spoken Spanish by chatting with neighbouring allotment holders.

9. The chance to choose to grow the crops which have the greatest number of beneficial vitamins, trace minerals and fibre as a contribution to a healthy diet.

The book ‘Living well from our garden – Mediterranean style’ indicates this information for a wide range of possible crops.

The book is available from

Amazon Books. Note that the cover has been changed recently.

Having applied for and obtained an allotment, normally on a one- or two-year renewable lease, set out to make your vegetable and fruit gardening as productive as possible. The following guidelines will help you do so.

1. First dig over your ground to remove large weeds, rocks and bricks.

Then do a first rotovating to obtain a fine tilth.

2. Then add a coating of manure from local stables or shepherds, or sacks of dried sheep or goat manure that are available inexpensively from agricultural co-operatives and rotovate again. Aim to do this by the end of September to be in the position to make timely autumn sowings and the planting of plantlets for autumn, Christmas and winter vegetable crops.

3. If you plan to grow herbs improve a small area further with a sack of worm compost and fine sand.

4. Before you sow or plant

anything decide whether you will water with a hose, sprinkler or piped irrigation system. Since you will be growing crops in rows or blocks a woven irrigation piping may be the best investment.

5. Consider buying a fivekilo plastic box of TerraCottem, the soil improver mentioned a few weeks ago in this column, to mix into seed sowing drills and plantlet planting holes.

6. Weed regularly and set up a composting bin to recycle them annually.

7. Pests are unlikely to be a major problem on small plots with a diverse mix of crops.

But do have handy some natural sulphur powder to deter ants and dust the leaves of tomatoes, peppers, aubergines and squash type crops from mildew, a neem oil spray such as that sold by Flowers to use as a general insecticide, and an ecological slug and snail killer.

With that best of luck to Spain’s new allotment gardeners. © Dick Handscombe www.gardenspain.com

PETS

YOUNG DOMESTICATED cats rescued from the killing station need kind homes.

Fully vaccinated and neutered. We will also deliver to England for a donation to the charity. Please give one of these beautiful cats a home so we can save more from death. Can be seen without obligation at Cat and Dog World Kennels. Tel. 630 197 435 (93398)

CHARITIES ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call Marjorie 952 79 74 05 or 636 934 146 (93319) ACE CHARITY “El Refugio” in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-chari ty.org where you can view all the dogs in our care.

(93320) SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public week-ends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime.

For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria,

Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeon line.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) At SOS Animal Refuge we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive.

We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect.

So if you are having a clearout, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about rehoming, please call 653 257 875. Visit our website www.sos-animals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way.

TVR set for comeback CELEBRATED British sports car brand TVR is set to burst back onto our streets under the watchful eye of F1 and McLaren designer Gordon Murray. TVR has developed a product with an allnew Cosworth engine. At least four new models could be brought to market over the next 10 years.

Driving licence changes in UK MOTORING groups have warned that holidaymakers face car-hire confusion as the paper part of the driving licence is abolished as of June 8. The scrapping of the paper counterpart prompted the AA, and others, to highlight potential complications when hiring vehicles in the UK and overseas.

The lure of Le Mans WINNING the 24-hours is ultimate accolade

By Steve Walsh SINCE the 1920s, anybody who was anything to do with performance cars wanted their machine to win at Le Mans.

Even now, the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race is the ultimate accolade.

In the early days, is was solely adapted production cars taking part; however, it wasn’t long before the likes of Bentley and Bugatti started toying with streamlining body shapes. This continued until 1939, when Hitler’s European tour forced the Le Mans 24-

hour race to take a 10-year break. The race resumed in 1949 following the reconstruction of the Le Mans circuit facilities.

Through the 50s, the prolific Jaguar, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz and others began sending multiple cars in teams. This increased the spectacle, as well as the amount of cars on track. Until in 1955, and after the tragic crash which claimed more than 80 lives, wide-ranging

COMPETITOR: Bentley started streamlinging body shapes. safety measures were introduced. By the end of the 1960s, Ford would enter the Le Mans 24-hours with their Ferrari eating GT40s,

taking four straight wins before the era of production-based cars would come to a close.

For the 1970s, competitors moved towards more extreme speeds, and the day of the Porsche began, where the 917, 935 and 936 were dominant throughout the decade that started the habit of bending the rules in every way possible.

The rulebending trend continued

throughout the 80s and 90s as more exotic supercars were built in order to bypass the ACO’s rules regarding production based Le Mans race cars. This resulted in Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Nissan, Panoz, and Lotus entering the GT categories. By the 1999 event, these GT cars were competing with the Le Mans Prototypes of BMW, Audi, and Ferrari.

From the turn of the century, Audi have kind of made the race their own showroom. But 2014 saw the return to the top flight for Porsche.

BMW 7: In its sixth reincarnation.

MOTORING

INTERIOR: An evolutionary design update.

The New BMW 7 series EPITOME of a blend between performance and comfort A TEMPLE to luxury and technology is a statement that could be used to describe the new BMW 7 series now in its sixth reincarnation.

The epitome of a blend between performance and comfort would be another.

The new model was launched on June 10 in Munich with all the pomp and ceremony you would expect from a world-leading manufacturer’s flagship blast-off. Well, the German version of excitement anyway, elegantly rolled out under spotlights to the classic sound of a string quartet.

The brand’s flagship aims to set a new benchmark in the segment with its lightweight design, driving dynamics, comfort and luxury features, intelligent connectivity and extensive cabin technology. Available in many guises, the range will

be graduated in throughout 2016 to include the 740Li 3.0-litre straight 6, and the 750i XDrive 4.4litre V8.

The expected big seller in Europe will be the 730d. With its new B57 engine and the aid of a turbocharger, the redesigned cleaner lump is expected to push out 261bhp and 457lb ft. Sufficient enough to propel this Bismarck sized car from 0100kmh in under six seconds.

The petrol version is a new turbocharged 3.0-litre in-line six cylinder B58, which can be found lurking under the reshaped bonnet of the 740Li. With 321bhp, it delivers 6bhp more and the same torque as the older N55 unit, bestowing it with a 0100kmh time of 5.5sec.

The twin-turbo charged 4.4-litre V8 petrol unit will appear next year in the 750i Xdrive. The engine will deliver 444bhp through a series of

SINCE the 1970s when TV brought the T3California into our dreams, Moto Guzzi have been thumping along the road to this point.

Now the new 1400 Teldorado and Audace have come of age.

But unlike the 70s the new version of the 90 degree V-twin Italian superstar now has improved geometry, road manners, and style.

Even though they could be mistaken for twins, the Eldorado and Audace 1400, have radically different personalities.

The ultra-plush image of the Eldorado is upheld with retro touches like the 16-inch spoke wheels wearing doughnut-style white sidewall radials. From the wide bullhorn handlebars back to the armchair of a seat, this retro cruiser fits the bill.

730d model is expected to be the big seller in Europe

upgrades that include new twinscroll turbochargers and a higher 10.5:1 compression ratio, designed to push the ton-and-a-half sedan to 100kmh in 4.4 seconds, (the same as a 1999 Ferrari 360 Modena).

However, this car is not about the engine. Available in four styling packages: Standard, M Sport, Pure Excellence and Individual, it’s all about the luxury. An entire catalogue of sci-fi-esque gadgets and creature comforts awaits your wallet.

The interior benefits from an evolutionary design update, including a redesigned dashboard, hi-tec controls and trims, new digital instrument graphics that light up in either white, blue or red depending on the driving mode, a redesigned multi-function steering wheel and new front seats with ventilation and massage functions.

It starts with the key, with a full colour Android touchscreen allowing control of car functions including parking itself once you have got out, it’s more of a smartphone than a key. And that’s just the beginning!

Once you have picked up your jaw after marvelling at the gesture systems that function at the wave of a hand.

The list of gadgets, options, and features were released in a 24page document, so suffice to

Moto Guzzi still with a touch of the California spirit The Audace, however, has a completely different personality. Its mean and moody appearance makes it more of a muscular power cruiser, with a touch of the underworld being achieved by a simple application of matte-

black and carbon fibre wherever possible.

Stripping away unnecessary body work and adding drag bars changes the riding position enough to make the look work.

Both models are available in Spain in either

say this article is only scratching the surface.

You notice toys such as a large heads-up display which is more like an augmented reality windscreen, idrive, programmable fragrance system, 7-inch Touch Command Tablet, Panoramic Sky Lounge LED Roof, external cameras that beam road-sign and condition data back to BMW´s servers and back to your virtual windscreen, dynamic cruise with full stop and start, and two 10-inch displays mounted behind each front seat.

And the new 7 series while not only being a driver’s car, is a true luxury for the chauffer driven. Try one out, just remember to bring a driver when you buy it so you can sit in the back.

RETRO CRUISER: Eldorado black or red, and have a recommended entry price of around €18,800.

There are many optional extras available that can bump up that figure if chrome is your thing.

Good contest at Miraflores MIRAFLORES BC continue to stage the popular, bi-weekly, one day, two wood pairs sets.

The format consisted of the now familiar sets of seven ends, with three groups playing a round robin.

Although Terry Barratt and John Fairgrieve and Alan Turner with Terry Morgan clearly led their respective groups, four teams in Group two tied on 10 points and the result was decided on shots countback with Derek Carr and Dennis Hanley winning that group.

In the final, the bookies would have given the advantage to the experienced pair of Alan and Terry, but they would have been confounded as Terry and John won the first two sets

FINALISTS: Was between two teams from La Posada.

Saydo Mixed Open Triples competition STANDARD of bowling by both teams was mesmerising ELEVEN teams were entered in the Saydo Single Sex and Mixed Open Triples - their first Open competition.

The final was between two teams from La Posada, both of which had had two hard fought semi-finals earlier in the day prior to reaching the final.

The teams were: Allen Gateshill, Maureen Fewings and Kevin Briody versus Stuart Robertson, Lol Moon and Bill Hill who were to take the title.

It was nip and tuck all the way and after 12 ends there was only one point in it. The standard of bowling produced by both teams was mesmerising.

Allen’s team had a three shot lead going into the 18th and final end, but all was not lost for Lol as he had managed a two shot advantage after delivery of his three woods, two behind and one in front of the jack but Maureen was not to be beaten, her last delivery took shot, just rolling past Lol’s front wood.

It was nip and tuck all the way and after 12 ends there was only one point in it.

Bill’s first delivery went past the jack and his second pulled up just short of Maureen’s shot wood. They were still one down. Kevin’s first two deliveries were well placed blockers and along with Maureen’s other woods were now forming a formidable defensive line in front of the jack. Bill’s final delivery managed to thread its way around and between the defensive woods and trickle the jack back towards Lol’s two backwoods, they now held three.

Kevin responded with a superb draw shot, but it just nudged Bill’s wood and it trickled away past Lol’s back woods to be fourth shot.

Next up were the skips with Stuart’s first wood a superb draw shot resting to the side and jack high, his team now held four shots.

Allen replied with a well weighted forehand delivery, hoping to either draw shot or promote Maureen’s wood which was now some 18 inches in front of the jack, but as it was edging past Bill's front wood it seemed to wobble fractionally which caused it to catch Bill’s wood and was turned away.

Stuart now held five shots and Allen’s next delivery, whilst it was only just past jack high was a little wide and did not reduce the count against him. Bill asked Stuart to put in a blocking shot; it was looking good all the way, but it was some 12 inches too long and ended up in the count but to the right of the jack, thus presenting Allen’s last wood with a slightly larger target of woods to draw onto.

MEMBERS: Winners on the day of the contest. by 8-7 and 6-2, thus winning the tournament.

Congratulations to John Fairgrieve, a fairly new bowler, who had an outstanding day.

Thanks were given to the sponsors, Miraflores BC. The next Miraflores Open 2 Wood Pairs is on Thursday.

FOR the second consecutive year, La Posada Bowls Club went on a week’s tour to Portugal, this time staying in Praia da Rocha on the western Algarve.

They fielded eight teams of triples at each of four venues: Tavira; Floresta; Alvor and Vilamoura, mixing up the teams each time with a combination of novice and more experienced bowlers.

With most of their players having little or no experience of bowling on grass, they did well to win two rinks at Tavira,

one rink at Alvor and two rinks at Vilamoura. At Floresta, where they bowled on carpet (a much more familiar surface to us), they narrowly lost by four rinks to three, with one rink drawn.

The week ended with a lovely meal on their final evening at a restaurant in Praia da Rocha, where presentations were made to Nick Cummins - ‘most successful skip,’ Steph Plummer ‘most improved player’ and Peter Gudgeon, Christine Ennever and Shelley Greenwood - ‘most encouraging team performance.’

Marbella Rugby closes the season

By Steve Walsh WITH the celebration party bringing an end to the 20142015 season in style, there were still a few odds and ends left to tie up.

A couple of unsettled results from a few earlier confrontations had to be resolved. Therefore, the various teams met for two tournaments of beach rugby sevens.

Marbella Under 19s and under 18s participated in the Gibraltar Rugby Beach Tournament, where they not only shone like stars, but also finished champions of the tour-

nament on The Rock.

Likewise, an under-16 Marbella Rugby Club team officially participated in the 25th edition of one of the most prestigious tournaments of Sevens in Spain, The Cisneros in Madrid.

The performance of the Marbella team was virtually spotless until the end of the tournament, where in the last minute of the match, they were defeated by Belenenses ‘A’, the champions of Portugal.

The Marbella team had victory in hand, but in the aftermath of the Portuguese en-

counter, they sealed the game with a show that gave them the victory 24-19.

It is the first time that a team from Marbella (not seniors), have participated in the international tournament in Madrid.

Because of this, the category coach, Gaby Irusta, has now enrolled James Martin, in the Santander Bathco Honor Division. The young player has participated at international level in all categories of the Spanish selection, in XV and VII, and also played in the Sevens World Series of 2013 with the network.
