Cilla dies at home in Estepona, aged 72 POST-MORTEM results confirm she suffered a stroke By Jo Harvie Singer and TV presenter Cilla Black has died at her home on the Costa del Sol, aged 72. The much-loved star passed away on Saturday, August 1, at her home in Estepona. The coroner confirmed on Tuesday, August 4, that she died follow-
ing a stroke. She had been sunbathing and lost her balance as she stood up, hitting her head as she fell. The blow knocked her unconscious, and she would not have suffered during the stroke that resulted. Cilla’s career spanned more than 50 years, from huge hits in the 60s with Anyone Who Had a Heart, and Alfie, to a staple of Saturday night prime time TV in the 80s and 90s, presenting Surprise, Surprise and Blind Date. The Euro Weekly News spoke to a friend of Cilla’s, Sandro Morelli of Villa Tibiero. He said: “It’s very sad. I have known Cilla since the 70s. I remember back in the UK during the good old days when we
would socialise and visit places like Barbarellas.” Sandro added: “She was well known in and around Marbella, and on occasion she came here to eat with friends and family.” Born Priscilla Maria Veronica White, she changed her name to Cilla Black, but became a beloved household name simply as Cilla. She was discovered when working as cloakroom attendant at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, and her distinctive singing voice won the support of The Beatles, who championed her career in the early days.

Not much money for Malaga in the budget MORE has been spent in recent years to complete infrastructure By Eleanor Hawkins MALAGA Province has been allotted just €243.3 million in the government’s general budget for 2016, presented this week. The amount is 11 per cent less than that provided this year for the province, and the second lowest of the last 15 years. Main projects that money has been put by for on the Costa del Sol include a promised access road to the north of the airport (€5 million), work to improve the Arroyo de la Miel exit at kilometre 222 on the A7 motorway (€2 million), eliminating a dangerous level crossing in Ronda (€355,000), further studies on continuing the coastal railway to Marbella (€502,000) and beach and coastal area conservation (€4.2 million). When asked why the government would be spending less on the area next year, Partido Popular’s MP for Malaga Carolina España argued that more has been spent in recent years to complete main infrastructure including railways, ports, the airport and roads.

REMARKABLE RACES: Take place over six days this month.
By Carol Irving AUGUST sees one of the most spectacular events in the racing calendar in Spain take place on the sandy beaches of Sanlucar de Barrameda, Cadiz. The beach in the Bajo de Guia area of town becomes a horse racing track during August evenings with pure thoroughbred race horses running at full speed during the late afternoon, creating a stunning backdrop of some of the most beautiful coastal scenery in Cadiz. Originally, the races were organised by owners of horses used to transport fish from port to market. With time, and the new trend for ‘English-style’ horse

racing taking root in Madrid, San Sebastian and Sevilla, the event gradually evolved into formal races. Local records from the year 1845 show that the first formal horse racing event on the beaches of Sanlucar took place the same year, making the 2015 event the 170th anniversary. In 1997 it was declared an event of International Tourist Interest and it is organised in two cycles of three days, the first this year starting on August 12-14 with the second cycle on August 21-23. Around 30,000 spectators are expected to gather along the length of the seafront of Bajo de Guia beach to watch this incredible competition.
CATALUÑA’S police force, the Mossos d’Esquadra, will be provided with between 130 and 140 Taser electric guns by the end of this year. They will only be for use in exceptional circumstances to avoid ‘greater evils.’

Hottest month Agency confirms
Good summer leads to record jobs THE best July in the province for a decade unemploymentwise was confirmed this week by figures from the Ministry of Employment’s figures for the month. The number of jobless peo-
ple registered at the SAE Andalucian Employment Service offices in Malaga and the Costa del Sol fell by 5,898 over the month, bringing the total down to 175,496. The drop in Malaga was the
third largest in Spain beaten only by Cadiz (6,523) and Madrid (6,433) and year-on-year comparison showed there were 10,466 fewer people looking for work than at the end of July 2014.
Unemployment fell across all sectors, although as could be expected during the busy tourist season the services sector registered the highest drop (4,686). The Social Security system also announced good job cre-
ation figures for the month, with 7,511 more workers paying in that at the end of June. Altogether 546,053 workers were registered with and paying into the system at the end of the month.
THE AEMET state weather agency has confirmed that July temperatures were an average of three degrees Celsius higher than usual in Malaga Province. In fact the month broke records for heat everywhere in Andalucia except in Cadiz and Sevilla.

DAYS NUMBERED: Illegal street-sellers will be the focus of a joint endeavour. By Eleanor Hawkins OVER recent weeks the authorities on the Costa del Sol have started communicating and joining forces to improve safety and services for local residents and visitors. Meetings held by various council and police teams with the Costa del Sol Guardia Civil captain set the scene for neigh-
bouring teams to take the plunge and discuss ways to work together for the greater public benefit. The first announcement came from Benalmadena, where Security Councillor Javier Martin said the council was working to put an end to illegal roaming vendors (also known as looky-looky men) and had agreed to join forces
with Torremolinos in this endeavour. The two towns will be pooling resources and co-ordinating measures to reduce the presence of street-sellers, the councillor said. Local Police from both areas will be involved with back-up from the National Police force as in many cases the activity also involves offences against intel-
lectual property. Days later the National Police chief for Fuengirola, Francisco San Blas, visited Mijas Town Hall to offer the mayor the force’s collaboration. “This is already the case for the Guardia Civil and we wish to stress our will to collaborate because Fuengirola, Las Lagunas and Mijas are one and the same,” San Blas stated.
Keeping health facilities cleaner A TWO-YEAR contract for cleaning services at 95 medical centres in the province for €46 million has been approved by the Junta de Andalucia regional
government. The measure affects the Malaga, Costa del Sol, Guadalhorce Valley, Eastern Malaga and Axarquia health districts,
the University, Virgen de la Victoria, Axarquia, Antequera and Serrania hospitals and the regional blood transfusion centre.
New technology systems will be put in place to allow both service leaders and health centre management to evaluate and keep track of services.

Bullfighting banished By Eleanor Hawkins
Zoning protects coast
MARBELLA’S latest step against animal cruelty has been to announce that, from now on, the local radio and television station will refrain from broadcasting information or publicity regarding bullfights. Communications delegate Miguel Diaz explained that since his team took over management of the public broadcasting company it agreed not to give any information that could be considered to promote animal cruelty, a category it considers bullfighting is included in. “We want the television and other public media to promote positive values and increase awareness on animal rights. We have a respectful policy regarding animals, be they pets or any other type and we are working to keep to it,” the councillor declared.
CALAHONDA has been declared a Special Conservation Zone (ZEC) by the authorities, along with the Guadiario River estuary and other areas in Cadiz, Almeria and Granada. The Calahonda zone, the only new one in Malaga Province, covers an area of 1,404 hectares and was chosen due to its rich and varied marine and land flora and fauna. Altogether 140 areas in Andalucia are now listed as protected in an aim to maintain and recover habitats and species under the Red Natura 2000 project. After the Canary Islands, Andalucia has the most protected coastal areas: one third of kilometres of coast are included in the natural spaces network. ZEC protected areas must follow Red Natura 2000 network conservation rules.

Crowdfunding used to raise money for ‘innocent’ Dutchman JAILED for rape, he claims he is not guilty By staff reporter LEGAL foundation PrisonLaw has raised €10,000 through crowdfunding to pay for legal aid for a man who has spent 11 years in jail for two rapes he claims he did not commit. Romano Liberto van der Dussen, 42, was sentenced by Malaga Provincial Court to 15-and-a-half years in prison for sexual assault, robbery and causing bodily harm. He has always denied the charges and refused to enter a rehabilitation programme for rapists as he says this would amount to admitting he was guilty. Therefore, he has never been granted parole.
€10,000 has been raised through crowdfunding
On August 10, 2003, three young women claimed to have been beaten and sexually assaulted in identical attacks in different areas of Fuengirola, and DNA from an unknown man was found on one of the victims. The Dutchman was arrested on September 2 that year based on a photo ID. According to his lawyer, he was on police files for having attacked his exgirlfriend and a prostitute.
However, his DNA, provided voluntarily, did not match the sample found and in 2007 a match was found to Briton Mark Philip Dixie, jailed in the UK for 34 years for raping and strangling 18-year-old model Sally Ann Bowman in 2005. He physically resembles the Dutchman and has admitted that he may be linked to the events in Fuengirola, where he was living in 2003. Yet the Spanish Supreme Court refuses to annul the Dutchman’s sentence and says the DNA evidence needs to be compared by Spanish police. If Dixie’s DNA is confirmed to match samples from the crime scene, Van der Dussen can request another revision.

Ill-health strikes two jailed ex-lovers FORMER mayor of Marbella and singer in hospital By Eleanor Hawkins FORMER Marbella mayor Julian Muñoz is to be moved to a lower security jail and given better conditions for humanitarian reasons, a Malaga judge has decided. Muñoz, who is currently serving his sentence for corruption at Alhaurin de la Torre jail, has been reported by doctors to be in very bad health, one of the requirements for a change in regime to third grade. The judge took into account the fact that he is suffering from a serious, incurable illness and is not dangerous or likely to commit another crime, along with the right to personal dignity, court sources reported. The change will come into effect once prison authorities determine a suitable centre to move the former mayor to, and the judge stressed the change does not mean his sentence will be reduced or cancelled. His former flame Isabel Pantoja, also doing time in Alcala de Guadaira women’s jail
in Sevilla, has been admitted to Infanta Luisa Hospital in Sevilla with suspected kidney problems. The singer, who was given a twoyear sentence for laundering money removed from Marbella coffers by Muñoz, was on her second temporary leave and was due back at the prison yesterday (August 5). Yet she was admitted to hospital at 11.30pm on Tuesday evening and is likely to need to stay for a few days, hospital sources revealed.

Raising awareness of diabetes 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. Anne Bowles has a busy life supporting diabetic sufferers and fundraising for charity.
ANNE BOWLES is a woman who possesses an incredible amount of energy and enthusiasm which has been the key factor in how she has achieved so much in her life here in Spain. After marrying Frank in England in 1975, Anne was already showing the world what talents she had when they both began singing in a barbershop choir in Surrey. She tells me that was one of the best periods of her life as she enjoyed socialising, organising, and travelling to many singing events, entering into all she did with a passion. Anne and Frank decided to make a new life in Spain, so they bought a home here in 1975, and in no time at all their social life was booming. One unfortunate setback was that Frank suffered with diabetes and there was little help in Spain at that time for anyone with similar problems. A friend of theirs, Martin, also had diabetes and this was a condition that needed to be addressed as well as also raising awareness in others. It was this realisation that initiated the good work that Anne is continuing to do today. The Diabetic Support Group (DSG) was founded by Anne and Frank Bowles with the co-operation of Martin and Barbara Rhead in 2003 and the group has helped hundreds of sufferers come to terms with their condition and lead a normal life. Anne is a believer that knowledge is power, and this was her
FUNDRAISING: As President of La Cala Lions, Anne raised €80,000 for various charities as well as supporting local diabetics in her own time.

aim in life, to give those sufferers the vital information they needed that could, and has, saved their lives. With much help from the local Lions group, the organisation began its operation with the added support of Dr Francisco M Gomez Trujillo of the Beafranin Clinic in Fuengirola, who had studied in the USA, and also a Finnish doctor, Dr Matti Tolonen, a nutritionist. After years of helping others, Anne also became a member of La Cala Lions and both her and husband Frank were

active in organising fundraising events such as golf tournaments and other functions. Frank was a golf fanatic, so he was approached to write about golf, which then led to bigger things. Anne and Frank began another project.

Jack Nausbaum for his work with handicapped children and sight impaired golfers.
Together they were heavily involved in the inauguration of the Costa del Sol Golf News in 2005, which grew from strength to strength due to Anne’s networking and massive input to the growth of the business. She juggled her
commitments with the Lions and her diabetic support group with her social networking that made the Costa del Sol Golf News a household name, and still she had the energy for more. In her free time she still performed and organised events for the Barbershop Choir Spain, and raised money for charity too. Sadly, some years later she lost the love of her life, Frank, but that has made her stronger, as she remembers how he believed in her and gave her the confidence to achieve so much. Anne went on to be President of La Cala Lions last year and within that time raised €80,000 for various beneficiaries. When asked what kind of people she preferred to be with, she said “I like positive people and those with a good sense of humour. Life is precious so we have to rise above difficult situations. I like people who are firm but fair.” Anne has granted many wishes of others, and asked if she had a wish that she would like granted, she said with her usual sense of humour “Yes... to have long, curly hair and no wrinkles.”

By Steve Walsh FOR some time, readers of the Euro Weekly News have been seeking answers to some questions, namely: What will happen if the UK decides to leave the European Union after the referendum, and where will it leave us expatriates? During an interview in Benalmadena, we put those questions to the Foreign Office and Minister of State for International Development, the Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP, while on his visit to Malaga on Wednesday and Thursday (July 29/30). The tri-fold purpose of his trip to the Costa del Sol was firstly to present the local tourist police with a Certificate of Excellence, an award which

ty and family to consider, there are major concerns over the repercussions of a vote to withdraw from the EU. Mr Shapps feels those are consequences we are not going to face. “My personal opinion is that the British people will vote to stay in the EU. Not the EU as it is now, however, but a remodelled EU, an organisation more like the old Common Market that we signed up to originally after the previous referendum in 1975,” he said. There’s no precedent or procedure yet in place should voters choose the withdrawal option, but Mr Shapps assured expats that the FCO had started making sure information would be accessible. “Apart from the information services online, I am here today!” he declared, and added: “I wish to impress on the expat community in Spain how important it is to register to vote. We are going to scrap the 15year limit on voting, we promised that in our manifesto, but people living in Spain will need to register with their last UK local council to be able to have a voice in the referendum. It’s very important.”

Request to borrow king’s bust THE mayor of Alora has asked for a loan of a bust of former king Juan Carlos I recently removed from a Barcelona City Hall meeting room. Mayor Jose Sanchez explained he had written a letter to Ada Colau, mayor of Barcelona, inviting her to visit the Malaga village, with 14,000 inhabitants, and the Caminito del Rey (King’s Walkway). Sanchez thinks the bust, which would be put on display at the town hall and in the future at a visitor’s centre with necessary security measures, would be a great way to promote the Caminito. King Juan Carlos, Sanchez said, is living history of Spain and should be shown due respect therefore the bust should be on display, not locked away. Alora, although hopeful its Caminito attraction could tip the scales in its favour, is not the only place to have asked for the bust to be put on display.

During the first 12 years of life, up to 80 per cent of learning is accomplished through vision, yet one in four children have undetected vision problems, meaning checking kids’ eyes is essential. Here are some answers to questions many parents have: What is the relation between eyesight and performing well at school? Experts believe many learning disabilities could be vision-related as children may not be able to read the blackboard or textbooks. When should I start taking my child to the opticians? We suggest children should have their first eye examination at around three years old, as the earlier things are detected, the easier they are to rectify without delaying development. If the optometrist detects an unusual issue the child will be referred to a doctor. What is the process of testing a child’s eyes? Children’s eye tests are simple. Firstly, parents or guardians are asked for relevant family history and any problems the child is experiencing. Then special charts and other materials are used to carry out several childfriendly tests. The vision of each eye is tested and how well they work together is checked. They will also measure the child’s focusing ability and eye-health before discussing the results with the parents. What if my child doesn’t want to wear glasses? Kids that wear glasses can now be the envy of all their friends with fun frames in bright colours sporting their favourite character or toy. Popular ranges include Disney, LEGO and Gruffalo. Specsavers Opticas is currently offering free back to school eye tests.

FOUR Greenpeace activists have been arrested in Madrid after climbing up a building next to the Ministry of Industry to protest against a controversial ‘tax on sunlight’ decree which could be approved tomorrow, Friday August 7. Altogether eight protestors gathered outside the ministry with four climbing a neighbouring building to hang banners stating ‘Sun Tax NO’ and another four remaining outside the doors to the official building. Those at ground level presented themselves at the ministry door with a solar panel bearing a red ribbon as a gift for Minister Jose Manuel Soria, which he refused to accept and had the gates closed. Police officers then arrived and arrested the four climbers. This was the first act of protest Greenpeace has carried out in Spain since the Citizen Security Law, also known as the gag law, kicked in, meaning the protestors may well face punishment. Greenpeace, meanwhile, stated that if the sun tax was approved, “consumers who produce their own energy and are also connected to mains supply will have to pay taxes on sunlight.” Marina Bevacqua, Greenpeace Energy campaign leader, stated: “Selfprovision is a key tool for energy efficiency, reducing contamination, generating employment and reducing Spain’s dependency on energy from abroad.” Bevacqua claimed the proposed tax was established to meet the interests of the electricity giants and would stop more than seven million people in Spain using the resource to beat energy poverty.

UN predicts big fall in Spain’s population SIX MILLION inhabitants could be lost in the coming decades Flickr by H.KoPP

SMALL CHANGE: Can produce hugh differences after just a few decades. By Maria Jose Fernandez SPAIN is expected to lose at least six million inhabitants over the coming decades, according to the UN. It estimates that there are currently 46.1 million inhabitants in Spain, a figure which predictions say will drop to 45.9 million by 2030 and 44.8 million by 2050. In the second half of this century, the population of Spain is expected to slide below 40 million inhabitants.
However, the authors of the study explained that these predictions would depend on the rate of fertility of the country, as a small change could produce huge differences after just a few decades. The strong demographic growth in Africa, where women have on average 4.7 children, will make the world population rocket above 10 billion inhabitants, the UN predicts. There are currently around 7.3 billion inhabitants worldwide, and it is expected to
Primary healthcare for immigrants proposed SPAIN is considering providing primary healthcare services to illegal immigrants who have been registered in one place for at least a year. At the latest Interregional Health Department meeting, the Ministry of Health put the proposal to the regions at the request of the PSOE socialistled regions, some of which already provide the service although it has yet to be agreed at national level. Immigrants without their paperwork in order would, after at least one year registered on the padron (residence registry) where they are living, be able
to apply for a document which would allow them access to primary healthcare when presented with a valid passport. Access to specialists would remain at the discretion of GPs. Yet Alfonso Alonso, Minister for Health, Social Services and Equality, has said that care must be taken to avoid opening the doors to health tourism and that document holders would not be eligible for care in other countries at Spain’s expense. The ministry intends to continue negotiating with the regional departments in order to hopefully approve the measure at the next meeting.
reach 8.5 billion by 2030 and 9.7 billion by 2050. In the year 2100, calculations estimate that there will be 11.2 billion inhabitants in the world, mainly caused by the rapid growth of developing countries. “The concentration of population growth in the poorest countries presents several challenges: making the eradication of poverty and inequalities more difficult, combating hunger and malnutrition and widening access to healthcare and education,” said a UN representative.
Negligence led to bungee death, say Guardia Civil TWO people may face charges for manslaughter through negligence following the Guardia Civil investigations into the death of a 23-year-old British woman in a bungee-jumping accident in Granada on July 21. The police force believe that the instructor, who had travelled to Tablate bridge with 14 people to carry out the risky sport, failed to ensure that all safety measures had been put in place. They also consider that the adventure company’s owner could be held responsible for sending just one instructor with the group. Investigators say the accident happened after the woman failed to wait for permission from the instructor, who had crossed the road to tense the ropes, before jumping, possibly due to a misunderstanding.

ELCHE’S Mystery Play, or ‘Festa’, is one of the most renowned theatrical performances in the world. The sacred musical drama depicts the death, the passage into Heaven (known as the Assumption) and the crowning of the Virgin Mary. It is performed every year in two acts on August 14 and 15 in the city. More than 300 volunteers are involved in the play each year. It is sung entirely in Valencian and some Latin and has been performed at the Basilica of Santa Maria for centuries. Its origins are believed to date back to around the 13th century, although some historians would put its origins at nearer the 15th century. The Mystery Play is also famous for its split level stage which includes the vertical ‘celestial’ stage, which descends from the dome of the basilica. The play is part of the city’s identity and heritage and the perseverance and affection of the people of Elche have converted the Mystery Play into the last surviving performances of its kind.

CAR MANUFACTURERS: Acted as a cartel in the industry.
Record fines for auto industry FORMED as recently as 2013, Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia, CNMC (National Markets and Competition Commission) has been investigating the auto industry in Spain.

Three companies were found not to have taken part in the cartel, with four being excused a fine, although this is the largest fine ever imposed by CNMC.

Euro manages to trade within a tight range as Greece still in zone ROLLER-COASTER JULY: Euro touched eight-year lows against the Pound.
Ask the expert Peter Loveday Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com
WITH Greece having reached an agreement which ensured a bailout, keeping the country in the Eurozone, the relatively weak Euro has managed to trade within a tight range. Business, consumer and economic sentiment seem to be higher than ever and, as analysts forecast, Mario Draghi’s quantitative easing measures could bring about a much-needed boost to inflation. In recent developments, comments from Germany’s independent economic advisers that countries should be able to leave the Euro as a ‘last resort’ could imply that the worries are still not over for Greece. The Syriza party has been criticised for plotting to leave the Eurozone as it was also revealed that the former finance
minister had a blueprint prepared for Greece to run a parallel banking system including reverting to the Drachma. Markets will look for further direction in
currency movements, as the focus turns towards monetary policy in the major economies. With the US and the UK having signalled the possibility of likely interest rates hikes in the next
few quarters respectively, the Euro could come under sustained pressure. Having been forced to inject further liquidity into the economy to boost deflationary pressures in the Eurozone, the single bloc currency could be considerably volatile leading up to and after the Federal Reserve FOMC meeting, which was scheduled for July 29. Should the Federal Reserve send out a hawkish tone and an outline/framework to exit its monetary easing policy, the Euro will bear the brunt of it, weakening further. It has been a roller-coaster of a month for the Euro as it touched eight-year lows against the Pound as GBPEUR touched a high of 1.44. Volatility for the near term looks set to continue – and in the Euro’s case, things are not looking very bright. Having recovered to levels of 1.40 against Sterling, the Euro has traded within a tight range although the current scenario could just be the calm before the storm

More interest IT appears that, partly thanks to the number of repossessions which have taken place, there has been an increase in interest in property in Spain and prices are rising slightly.
British investors buy Spain’s ‘ghost airport’ at bargain price
Profits boom SPANISH-owned AENA airports authority has announced that its profits have increased by a staggering 80 per cent to €276 million, thanks in part to taking over Luton Airport, a rise in passenger numbers and higher sales in retail.
Fewer strikes SPAIN has recently seen fewer strikes than in the past and unions are in negotiations with employers to increase wages. Latest discussions between the parties will see an overall increase of 1 per cent in 2015.
Bank’s hopes DESPITE divesting its retail holdings in Spain to La Caixa, Barclays Bank analysts have indicated that they see an ongoing and positive recovery within the Spanish economy.
‘GHOST’ AIRPORT: Ciudad Real Airport which cost €1 billion to build, opened in 2008 but closed four years later in 2012. BUILT at an estimated cost of €1 billion, Ciudad Real Airport in the CastillaLa Mancha area opened in 2008 but was closed in 2012 as it failed to attract either airlines or passengers. In the whole of 2010, it saw just 33,000 passengers pass through its ter-
minal and only budget airline Ryanair used its facilities for a while. When that airline pulled out, the local government subsidised three flights a week but even they were soon withdrawn. Now the so-called ‘Madrid South’ airport (it is ‘just’ 125 miles from Madrid)
which was looking for offers in the region of €80 million, has been sold in part to a UK/Asian consortium for just €10,000 (£7,000). The sale, which includes the runway, control tower but not the terminal or parking area, has attracted a few Chinese
companies who may be interested in investing further so that the airport becomes a major entry point into Europe. It may be just one of the many failed projects to emerge following the recession, but this one at least may one day rise like a phoenix from the ashes.

Trusted independent financial adviser I HAVE been a financial adviser for close to 30 years and in that time there have been many changes affecting how I earn my living. Possibly the largest of these has been the growing ability for private investors to research and arrange their own financial affairs using the internet. Yet despite this, demand for trusted independent financial advice has never been greater. Before looking at why, I would like to highlight that all advisers are not the same far from it. In Spain there is a huge gulf between expatriate financial advisory firms in terms of business practices, adviser qualifications and experience. At one extreme there are product sales focused firms with commission-only salespeople (advisers) who may have limited knowledge or experience. At the other end are client-focused truly independent firms employing highly qualified advisers with many years of practical knowledge and experience. How do I define trusted independent financial advice? A service provided by a professional financial adviser, whose interests are firmly aligned with clients. This means
FRY GROUP: Work with clients to build mutually beneficial trust.
putting myself in each client’s position and identifying and recommending only investments and planning that I would use myself if I had the same set of circumstances and requirements. To do this (apart from the required knowledge and experience) is the ability to offer solutions from a broad spectrum of options and providers. In Spain as in the UK, The Fry Group uses the UK’s full disclosure no-commission approach as our starting point. This means advice is unfettered when it comes to selecting the best options. This also means that charges for work are always agreed in advance allowing discussion and sometimes healthy negotiation. Firms and advisers relying on commissiondriven sales can never fully align their interests with their clients due to a natural conflict between impartially selecting appropriate financial planning solutions and how they are paid; not by the customer but by their product suppliers. The financial circumstances of the adviser is also important in that they should not be under financial or management pressure to
take on new clients and/or to obtain new client money. The big banks and many other firms may not agree with my view but this is because their financial advisers are in most cases heavily targeted and remunerated only based on new money they obtain from investors. This means that there is often limited incentive to build a long-term trustworthy relationship. The fact is that trust in all its forms is only achieved over time based on a person or organisation living up to expectations and promises. I am fortunate in that The Fry Group are a well-established and well-trusted (by families through the generations) business. As an individual (as with my colleagues) I enjoy a stable working environment that allows me the time to work with our clients and build mutually beneficial trust based relationships.

Police lose public’s respect BOYS and Girls in Blue have only themselves to blame LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT LET me state from the outset, that I do retain a certain amount of sympathy for officers of the law. According to some of the crime reality shows, the abuse they have to contend with can be truly horrendous. Another thing that becomes glaringly apparent is that most of the respect the public had for the police is now pretty much nonexistent. I am actually old enough to remember my utter shock when I saw the police referred to as ‘cops’ in an English newspaper. Prior to that it was only in American publications that they were referred to in this somewhat derogatory manner. So what’s gone wrong? Where does the fault actually lie for this change in the public’s attitude toward modern-day law enforcement? Well, with apologies to the Boys and Girls in Blue, I think you have only yourselves to blame. The problem with the police is that their
LONG GONE: The days of respect and trust for the police. career advancement and subsequent earning capacity always relies on the number of convictions they obtain. This puts them permanently and firmly in the camp of the prosecution. Believe me, most investigators
consider a successful prosecution a victory and an acquittal a defeat. Over the years, this apparent attitude and determination to convict at almost any cost has slowly but surely eroded almost all the
trust and respect previously enjoyed by the ‘Blue Lamp’ Dixons of the past. Cases like the Wimbledon ‘honey trap’ in the Rachel Nickell/Colin Stagg fiasco and the Jill Dando/Barry George affair, have slowly stripped away the public’s often blind faith in British justice. And remember... these are only the cases you hear about. What about all the innocent ‘little people’ who are serving time, merely to look good on an officer’s arrest and conviction record? I myself became a victim of this unacceptable practice, when a four-page witness statement, which would have most definitely helped my self-defence intentions, was mysteriously whittled down to a few lines that bore no resemblance to the original, which had simply ‘disappeared!’ No, I’m afraid the police have long travelled past the point of no return, and the days of respect and trust for this previously-admired institution have gone forever. Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002 @gmail.com

-page special starts here...
BEING one of the most popular areas on the Costa del Sol, you will find no shortage of beautiful, picturesque areas, with a plethora of bars and restaurants to suit every taste. But if you should decide you need something a little more energetic, once you start to dig a little deeper into what this gem of a town has to offer, you will discover that there’s always something to do in Estepona. For the equestrian minded amongst you, a riding school is located at the Escuela de Arte Ecuestre. They cater for a wide range of abilities, whether lessons, or simply hiring a horse. If tennis is more your thing, you are spoiled for choice. Where golf is your game, you are in golf city central. The Costa del Sol isn’t nicknamed the Costa del Golf for nothing! Between Estepona and Marbella, there are at least seven clubs offering some of the best golf in the world. If a life on the ocean wave is more your cup of tea, many trips and adventures can be found in the harbour, or along Estepona’s wonderful coastline.

The International Club of Estepona GREETERS meet new and prospective members
INTERNATIONAL CLUB: Open to all English speakers in the Estepona area. JUST a few kilometres away from the centre of Estepona is the clubhouse of the International Club of Estepona, a member’s club open to all English speakers in the area, although the majority of its members do come from the UK. It was formed in 1988 with just a small number of members, but has grown to its present level of over 600. Although not open every day, the Club has its own bar, weekly lunches, numerous activities and its website at www.siberme.com gives de-
tails of membership and all of its activities. Not only can you borrow English books and DVDs from its extensive libraries, the Club offers assistance in a range of areas including computer use and Spanish. Regular outings are held to different restaurants and places of interest as well as annual trips in Spain and to other parts of Europe. Aimed at the older member, this organisation has inexpensive membership fees and has special greeters to meet new and prospective members.

Enjoy atmosphere of the busy port
ESTEPONA PORT: Plenty of opportunity for people watching. ESTEPONA PORT used to have a rather questionable character with large numbers of very noisy discos set back from the port proper, but now they have closed, it has become a much more family friendly area attracting new and older visitors to enjoy the many restaurants, bars and cafĂŠs in its environs. Parking is plentiful with a paid area, but there is also a small amount of free parking in the port and a larger free area just outside. You can take a trip on a catamaran, visit the very busy Sunday Market (open from 10am
until 2pm) or just enjoy the food, drink and atmosphere whilst observing the various craft arriving and departing. If people watching is your preference, then there is plenty of opportunity to do that as well, and you can even see the Rock of Gibraltar to the west. Most types of food are available in the many restaurants and you can be pretty certain that most of the fish has been caught recently from local waters. Adjacent to the port is the Punto Doncela Lighthouse which was built in 1922 and is set in a small landscaped garden.

Reflections of the Garden MURAL shows palm trees, bougainvilleas and terraces which make a visually exciting piece By Carol Irving ESTEPONA Town Hall has inaugurated a new mural, Reflections of the Garden, next to the Orchid House and Botanic Gardens. The hyperrealist painter Jose Fernandez Rios has created a work in which palm trees, bougainvilleas and terraces makes a visually exciting piece by using a trompe lóeil which tricks the eye into believing a three dimensional painting is real. The work of art intermingles with the existing plant environment of the Botanic Orchid Park.

The mayor, Jose Maria Garcia Urbano, pointed out that for passers-by the visual effects creates the illusion that the vegetation in the mural and that of the botanic garden will be one and the same. The mural ex-

tends along buildings approximately 300 metres along the length of the street. Features of the mural, which is described as being “a visual trompe lóeil of huge dimensions,” includes a typical Andaluz terrace which has been painted on one of the exits of the blocks and seems real at first sight. The same effect is reinforced with palm trees of various heights, bougainvilleas that “grow” from the ground and flower abundantly or stems that flow round the windows of some of the homes of the blocks where the mural is projected.

was to integrate architecture, painting and poetry in the same work of art. The artist has also incorporated four poems written by Jose Miguel Molero on the exterior surfaces of different buildings. The mural, whose budget has been to the tune of 20,000 euros, has been financed mainly by the urban waste management company, Urbaser. The new mural adds another attraction to the already popular Orchid House and Botanic Garden, which is one of the main tourist attractions in the area thanks to the avant-garde design of its building, its variety of species and space which is surrounded by trees from various countries. The mural is also number 30 on the Route of Artistic Murals, a cultural initiative which has attracted a number of aficionados of the art and included a number of works by different artists in different styles. Mayor Garcia Urbano points out that Estepona, known as the garden of the Costa Del Sol for its lush, green environment is also valued for its artistic and cultural space and the Route of Artistic Murals will continue to incorporate new works.

LEGALLY SPEAKING
Carrying a load AS part of a new 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.
SAFELY STORED: Any load must not project from your vehicle. MANY people ask about rules regarding carrying a load in cars. The N332 team clarify that if you are driving a vehicle that is carrying a load, you have to make sure that the load is restrained properly. Local restraint is not just about making sure that the load does not come off, it is about making sure that the load does not shift in a way that makes the vehicle unsafe to handle or allows the load to crash into the driver’s cabin which may cause injury or death in the event of a traffic accident. The Spanish Traffic Law requires that any load carried on or in your vehicle must not be placed in a way that makes your vehicle unsafe or unstable. It must be
secured so that it won’t move or fall from your vehicle while driving; including driving consisting of emergency braking or turning suddenly. The law states any load must not project from your vehicle in a way that is likely to injure a person, obstruct the path of other drivers or pedestrians or damage another vehicle or anything else. It must be restrained using an appropriate load restraint method. Anything on the back seats must be secured with seat belts but it is advisable not to carry anything in the car, you should always use the boot. In the case you need to carry a load in the vehicle, use the seat belts to secure it or use a car net.

Is Community responsible for drains? I LIVE on an estate more than 30 years old and my property is what we call in the UK mid-terraced. On three occasions in the last few years, I have had drainage/sewage contractors come into my house and through a trap in my kitchen clear out effluent and waste which accumulates belo w m y h o u se a n d th e neighbouring properties as As you describe it, this seems to be a problem with Community drainage and sewage systems. If your neighbour is reluctant to act, you must approach the Community. The President on his own can authorise the
well. It appears that four adjoining properties are served by a gully underneath. The contractors tell me that there is a break in this gully which can only be accessed through the floor of my neighbour’s kitchen. The neighbour refuses to take any steps to resolve the issue. What action can I take?
David Searl You and the Law in Spain
The President can authorise repairs and access.
B.B (Costa Blanca) repairs and require the neighbour to permit access. Failing this, you can request a vote by the AGM. Please note that, if the Community sewage simply runs into a gully, i t s h o u l d p ro p e r l y b e connected to mains drains.

SONGJIANG NEW CITY: House prices rose to a high level.
Deserted copycat English village
OPINION & COMMENT
In The Heart Of China
COUPLES use it as a backdrop for their wedding photographs By Lorna Eade YOU can’t fault the Chinese for copying things – they are masters of their art. They have even built a carbon copy of an English village. The architecture is themed according to classic English market town styles with cobbled streets, Victorian terraces and corner shops. It has been built in Songjiang, just a few miles outside Shanghai, and they have called it Thames Town!
in 2006, it covers an area of one square kilometre and was designed for a population of 10,000, and cost an incredible £500 million. Although initially the houses sold

Thames Town was completed in 2006 at a cost of an incredible £500 million
This copycat creation comes complete with a Gothic church, modelled on Christ Church, Clifton Down in Bristol, and red telephone boxes. There is a pub and a fish and chip shop copied from buildings in Lyme Regis, Dorset. However, it is also completely deserted – some are even comparing it to the Jim Carrey hit film The Truman Show, where Carrey’s character Truman Burbank unwittingly plays out his life on TV in a fake town, only realising something is afoot when a stage light crashes to the ground. Songjiang New City was a new development, intended to draw the population away from central Shanghai. Within this city, one of the objectives for Thames Town was to provide homes for the staff of the new universities in adjacent Songjiang University Town. Thames Town was completed
Replica of Tower Bridge rapidly, most purchases were by the relatively wealthy, as investments or second homes, and house prices rose to a high level. The proportion of owners taking up permanent residence was low. Thames Town is now mainly used by middle-class newlyweds, as a backdrop for their English-themed wedding snaps. On entering the town you could be mistaken for thinking you had strolled into a quaint southern counties’ settlement. But on closer inspection many of the shops on the high street - with names like ‘Mike’s Records’ and ‘The Fish Bar’ - are empty. A bronze James Bond statue is one

dents. Thames Town is just one of Shanghai’s ‘One City, Nine Towns’ schemes, a cluster of satellite towns built around a city. Another replica town, called the Tianduchengy development in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, even features a fake Eiffel Tower which stands 108 metres tall. The Parisian scene is completed by grand European buildings, wide walkways, ornate fountains and statues. There is also a replica of a fountain from the Luxemburg Gardens in a main square called Champs Elysées.

YOUR STARS VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You are very much in two minds about how to deal with a personal situation. Ask yourself which approach will help and which will do nothing to help at all. Although you want to shout at someone and feel negative at times, hold fire. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Getting a romantic situation wrong could cause a humourous moment this weekend. I am not telling you this so you can avoid it. You could do with a good laugh right now. Planning ahead is your preferred method but sometimes it is the last-minute decision that brings the best results. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) The thing that you have to tackle this week is uppermost in your mind, but don't dwell on it. Write it down and what you intend doing about it, then put it away. Relax and get on with other things. When you do come to take it out again and face the situation it will be so much easier. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Imposing restrictions on someone else also imposes restrictions on you. Why? Well, you have to hang around and see that your wishes are followed and take further action if they are not. Wouldn't it be easier to find some kind of compromise? CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Avoid getting involved in other people's arguments. There is no way

Looking for answers? They are there if only you go to the right source. There is no ‘quick fix’ this week and you need to delve deeper to get the information you need. It will be tempting to take a short cut but, believe me, it will not be worth the hassle in the longer term. Once you have the right facts you are truly in charge of what happens next.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Having been dashing about like a mad thing, you find this week a refreshing change. Only when you slow down do you realise how much you have been doing and just how tired you have become. There are some social engagements that you would not miss for the world, however.
that you can come out a winner if you do. Taking a step backwards is sometimes the best thing. You have been down this path before, and did your intervention do any good? Go and trim the roses or sort out those rockery stones instead.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) By using your intuition midweek, you will be able to solve a small problem at the weekend. Thinking ahead sometimes seems a waste of time to you because circumstances have a way of changing, but it makes sense to put in a bit of extra effort if you are able to avoid aggravation.
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) The need to be popular midweek could see you veer off track on a business matter. You have been warned and will be able to avoid it if you wish. Do not underestimate how much hassle a wrong move could cause you. On the domestic front, you are able to fully relax and enjoy good company.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) A mistake seems a small thing until someone notices it. Although you feel that they are making a mountain out of a molehill, it still leaves a nasty feeling. Get out and do something completely different at the weekend. Not only will it blow the cobwebs away, but it will also put in perspective any negative thoughts.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) As someone is not showing the required amount of interest in your activities, you need a plan. Telephoning them and pointing out what you have achieved is one way, but it's not cool. Getting a few people together and using someone else to blow your trumpet for you is better.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A business colleague may be less than honest with you. When it is a small matter you are used to them bending the truth. This is not, however, something that you will want to let go by, so stay on your toes. On the home front, you tend to be snappy with loved ones because you are feeling stressed.

From Russia, with experience and first-hand knowledge WHILE Mike Walsh does address some topical subjects areas quite sensibly, I do find that he gets a bit carried away with his comments when it comes to Russia and Putin. Putin is ex-KGB and probably committed quite a lot of dirty deeds during his time with this organisation. I worked for 14 years in Russia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Kazakhstan. I have first-hand knowledge and actual experiences on which to base my opinions relating to this subject. For a part of that time I was employed by a company owned by one Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a Switzerlandbased Russian exile, and former Russian businessman and philanthropist who spent a decade in jail on trumpedup tax charges after falling out with Vladimir Putin after he decided to stand for president. I was also in Georgia when the Russians engineered a breach of the ceasefire that gave the Russians the opportunity to invade. As much as two weeks before the actual invasion itself we were hearing rumours that up to 100 tanks were being assembled at the North Ossetia entrance to the tunnel that joined the two Ossetias. After the invasion I actually saw what they did to Gori and I heard some absolutely appalling stories about what Russian troops did from our local workforce living there. First-hand knowledge and experience has a significant influence in forming opinions Ian Terry (by email)
Leap too far IN response to an article written by Mr ‘Leapy’ Lee in your 16-22 July 2015 issue, women historically have been subjected to co-ordinated efforts by governments to control their fertility, including sterilisation abuse. Indeed in 1849, the US proposed sterilisation for ‘undesirables’. Other reasons included those deemed to be mentally ‘unfit’ to have a child and for economic reasons, such as in 1965 when 30 per cent of the women in Puerto Rico were forcibly sterilised because there were ‘too many workers’. Of course how could we forget the

Are dog owners in Fuengirola selfish?
Well informed?
With regard to dogs here in Fuengirola, it seems to me that some of the dog owners in this town are the most selfish and ignorant that I have come across. There are many dogs on my urbanisation. People think “Oooh, wouldn’t it be nice to have a dog?” Then they get one, and tootle off to work each day leaving it to bark all day long for the pleasure of us poor retired folk to endure. Then they come home and take them for a walk and let them poop all over the place. I am sick to death with the amount of excrement that covers the pavements, it’s like a minefield here. There are supposed to be fines for those who do not clean up after their dogs, but I’ve never seen or heard of anyone ever being caught and having to pay these fines, have you? Maybe you could let us know? It’s time for Fuengirola to introduce dog wardens to implement these fines and bring these selfish owners to book once and for all. Miguel Mora (by email) PS: Enjoyed reading your article on the newly-installed ‘Park of Life’ (Costa del Sol edition) so the public can enjoy a nice cool area at the beach. So l went to have a look; unfortunately, the lovely grass (that we are supposed to be able to sit/lie on) was covered with dog poo!!
‘Final Solution’ and the Nazi extermination camps. Countless women were sterilised by this evil regime. Of course they were the ‘lucky’ ones. Once again women with mental or physical disabilities were first, then gypsies and Jews; as you know the list goes on. Why am I writing this? Well, I have just read another uninformed and rather pathetic rant by your illustrious Leapy Lee. As you know he has advocated enforced sterilisation of unemployed women in the UK. Now even the Nazis didn’t sterilise women because they were unemployed! What next, euthanasia? J Charters (by email)
Bite back REGARDING the letter Bitten to Death, I can sympathise with Catherine as I am also bothered by mosquito and other types of insect bites. Firstly, my husband has installed mosquito nets on all windows and
doors. Secondly, we find our neighbours’ conifers are a haven for mosquitoes. Therefore, we purchase insecticide from the garden centres specifically to prevent the infestation and spray the trees accordingly. This does help to reduce the mosquitoes living in them. Thirdly, some years ago whilst on holiday in Spain, we met up with a doctor friend and he was concerned at the swelling around one of my ankles, an allergic reaction to insect bites. The spots become like large boils and can cause swelling. He gave me some Claritin antihistamines to take. I found that I didn’t seem to have more bites whilst I was on that holiday. My friend advised me that I was probably still being bitten but the tablets were preventing the reaction. My own doctor then prescribed Claritin for me to take whilst on holiday. When collecting my prescription, the assistant kindly informed me that I could buy Loratadine tablets cheaper. This is the ingredient that relieves the symptoms of hayfever, pet and other

Campo noise I READ your article on page 4 entitled ‘Time to keep noise promises’ (Almeria edition). Do we in the campo not also have a ‘derecho a dormir’ (right to sleep)? Who will protest for us when the many dog sheds around here have wall-to-wall dog barking lasting all night because it’s too hot for them to bark in the daytime? We hear that in Mojacar there also are restrictions on bars and restaurants’ noise levels, but there seem to be no restrictions outside town where people also live. Surely people everywhere are entitled to some sleep, not just in the towns. I suppose it will be the same old argument, we are the ones that moved
I’M not surprised that Joseph Billet was dumbfounded by Mike Walsh’s throwaway reference to the 100 scientists supposedly killed in the MH17 disaster. I hope Joseph means that he is dumbfounded that Mike should expect us to believe such an absurd bit of conspiracy theory, but I have a nasty feeling that he means he is overwhelmed by Mike’s deep knowledge of the world and what makes things happen. In fact, in Mike’s latest article, he wheels out all the nonsense he has churned out many times before. Everyone knows that most people in Europe did not want World War II to break out. However, any intelligent reading of the history of the 1930s shows that Hitler caused the war, by continually pushing for more power and territory. He got away with it for a long time, just because Britain and other nations were reluctant to take the unpopular step of declaring war. Does Mike think we should not have done that? And has he stopped to think what the consequences of a Nazi takeover of the continent would have meant? He is right in one thing. History is indeed repeating itself, with Putin grabbing land and intimidating his neighbours, just as Hitler did. The US economy does not depend on perpetual war. And what on earth is Mike trying to prove by calling the US a small country that would fit into the Sahara, while in fact it has about 300 million citizens? Let’s have no more of this sort of rubbish! Bill Campbell, Mojácar Playa, Almeria

AN extremely flexible spine allows them to readjust position
David THE Dogman
CATS do have a ‘righting reflex’ that operates when they fall. The first thing that happens is the brain commands the head and neck muscles to put the head ‘square’ with the ground. Then the rest of the body aligns itself with the head and, hey presto, the cat ends up in a perfect position for a soft landing. The cat is able to do this because it has an extremely flexible
backbone and no functional collarbone. Newborn kittens don’t have this reflex, as it depends on a combination of eye and inner ear messages. It might seem reasonable to assume that the greater the height of the fall, the worse the injuries.
FREE FALL: The cat relaxes and spreads its legs out for a soft landing.
This is, however, only true up to a level of seven storeys; after that the fracture rate actually decreases. This is because after dropping for a distance of about five storeys, the cat reaches maximum speed, the so-called terminal velocity of a falling body. At this point, the speed is constant and thus the inner ear is no longer aware and stimulated by acceleration. So the cat relaxes and spreads its legs out just as a free-fall parachutist does when he is stabilising his descent. On landing, relaxed bodies are much less likely to fracture, which is also true of infants, and adults who are drunk.

connected all the sitters online, and invited new ones to apply for the extended dates. Because our network is growing we found someone quite quickly. The Pet-sitters First we found an experienced couple from the US who retired early and are now pet and house-sitting as a way to see the world in an affordable way. Next a couple from Canada with their son took over the care of her two dogs - they’re professionals who decided to take their professional lives with them on the road, in order to travel a little before they settle and put their son into school. Then an Irish couple came to look after the dogs, and finally we found a young
French pet-sitter who wanted a change of scene. They all sat for free, in exchange for free accommodation. If you need house or petsitters join HouseSitMatch and meet our network. We’re a great alternative to kennels. Imagine how much Catherine might have paid if kennels had been her only option for four months!
Puppy trafficking trade is putting lives at risk AN undercover investigation into the puppy smuggling trade has discovered that underage and unvaccinated puppies are being transported illegally from certain Eastern European countries. Many of the puppies are sold online to customers in other European countries, including the UK. Some commercial dealers and breeders are selling the animals to members of the public, who often have no idea of their condition. The charity Dogs Trust Today revealed this illegal trade back in November 2014, not long after EU pet travel rules were relaxed. As a result, the EU regu-
lation on pet travel came into force in December 2014 but the changes, as predicted by the charity, did not go far enough. The risks of this smuggling operation, mean the puppies’ health is potentially in danger as well as that of humans. Cases of rabies have occurred in France, Spain and the Netherlands after dogs or cats were imported illegally. The Dogs Trust have also discovered that some corrupt vets and breeders in Lithuania and Romania are contributing to the problem and puppies are often brought across Europe illegally under a legitimate scheme that was meant for pet owners.

CHIEF Minister Fabien Picardo has responded to complaints by Gibraltar Equality Rights Group that the government might put the question of marriage equality to a referendum. He said a referendum was one of a number of options but that he was personally in favour of same-sex marriage and considered it a ‘civil, secular’ issue, to be considered in the upcoming election.

INCURSION: Spanish vessel claimed a Gib boat had been acting suspiciously. By Jo Harvie THE Gibraltar Government reported an incursion into their territorial waters last weekend (August 1-2) by a Spanish state vessel, which sailed up to the shoreline of an area designated for swimmers, causing serious fears for safety. The incident happened when a Spanish customs boat chased a Gibraltar registered pleasure craft, which had failed to respond to a radio warning from the Spanish. The Gib boat had been stationed at Eu-
GIBRALTAR gave a hesitant welcome to the Spanish Government’s announcement on Monday August 3 of its desire to take part in “ad hoc” dialogue with its counterparts on The Rock. The surprising announcement was, according to a government spokesman, due to the electoral changes that have taken place after the regional and local elections in
ropa Point, as the two people on board fished, they said, and had left the area when they feared the Spanish crew would board their vessel. According to the Spanish customs officers, the boat was acting suspiciously. A later search by Gibraltar Police found nothing out of order on the boat, they said. The customs boat pursued the vessel well into a swimming area, marked by buoys, where boats are banned. “This is another glaringly obvious example of a Spanish state vessel attempting
to assert its authority well inside our territorial limits. It could hardly be clearer that the vessel had no jurisdiction to operate at Europa Point and even less just a few metres from a beach at Camp Bay,” said the Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia. He added: “Quite apart from the serious political issues raised by this matter, it is also dangerous for a state vessel to operate in this way inside a demarcated bathing area. This is illegal in the face of internationally-recognised Laws of the Sea.”
Spain and Gibraltar set for ‘ad hoc’ talks Spain, as well as changes to the constitution of the Andalucian Government and local councils. One such change was the election of a new Partido Popular (PP) president to the Mancomunidad de Municip-
ios del Campo de Gibraltar, which is an entity that aims to build better bonds with The Rock. Additionally, a recent meeting between the mayor of La Linea, Juan Franco with Spain’s Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, Ignacio Ybañez, also centred around Spain and Gibraltar’s somewhat rocky relationship. However, in the Spanish parliament, the PSOE’s Salvador de la Encina has questioned why the PP government has had such a change of heart on the eve of a general election, accusing them of taking a confrontational approach up until now.

ART is not about understanding, it is about how it makes you feel, I have always remembered that 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.
I AM an art lover. Not because I am knowledgeable or that I have an appreciation for any particular subject matter. No, it’s just that I envy those who are able to pick up a brush or palette knife and convert a blank canvas into something that is pleasing to the eye. Many years ago, an artist acquaintance - who was then of the abstract school - asked me if I liked a particular piece he had produced. I confirmed I did, but admitted I did not understand it. It is not about understanding, he admonished me, it is about how it makes you feel. And I have always remembered that. My Dad was fairly artistic - drawing, painting and making useful stuff and I have wondered why I inherited none of his talent. Was I a foundling discovered by my parents on the doorstep one morning? Am I in fact the milkman’s son? Perhaps I was selected for greater things? In which case I am still waiting.
CHAOTIC: August traffic.
Stay safe on the roads
ARTISTIC ABILITIES: Perhaps I was selected for greater things? Dad was a good whistler too, and I have never been able to do that. I did have a go at sculpting in my younger days, and although I usually ended up with something I was quite proud of, it bore no resemblance to the original planned piece. I had to work my 10-pound clay lump to such an ex-
tent - carving off chunks here and modifying bits there - that my intended sculpture of a unicorn, for instance, finished up looking like a chihuahua. But a nice looking chihuahua. I have seen a sporty set of wood carving tools in a small local ferretería and I am very tempted to give it a go.
Okay, I might not know the difference between a piece of oak and a sheet of chipboard, but I am going to look pretty darn cool showing off my artesan tools to my friends. And I have high hopes - after all, as a kid, I was expert at whittling chunks of tree down to useful pointy sticks.
When an economy collapses INVESTMENTS, pensions, life savings; everything one puts by for a secure future disappears Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.
HOW is society affected when an economy collapses? I have family and friends who twice experienced calamitous economic meltdown. Again, Ukrainians today find it near impossible to make ends meet; 40 per cent are unable to pay utility bills, yet it is predicted that prices in Ukraine will again double before Christmas. The tax base collapses, services, schools, social entitlements, law and order are curtailed, the transport infrastructure abandoned. Depending on racial or class division, widespread disorder may be presumed. This is happening in the US. Neighbourliness evaporates; everyone becomes a competitor in the struggle for survival.
ECONOMIC MELTDOWN: Every man for himself.
Shock sets in. Most people assume normal supply of utilities, gas, water, electricity and the internet. How do you pay bills if banks are closed, your job has gone, your deposits ‘frozen’? Investments, pensions, life savings; everything one puts by for a secure future disappears. The shop shelves are empty. The ‘system’ becomes the enemy. Government buildings and institutions like banks become the focus for community despair and revenge. As Gerald Celente surmised: “When people lose everything and have nothing else to lose, they lose it.” Is this why the Spanish government rushed through controversial laws designed to make anti-government protest a felony, seemingly attracting
AUGUST is officially Spain’s holiday month and sees the largest amount of holidaymakers. The roads are full of tourists trying to find their way round the country and the stress factor for drivers goes through the roof. Spanish traffic police launched their special summer operation on August 1, to try to control the roads and make sure motorists keep their speed down, obey the rules and generally stay safe on the road. Sadly, in the first weekend of August (August 1-2) there has already been as many as 18 deaths from traffic accidents, according to the traffic authority DGT. In one of the most horrific, three young children were killed when their car collided with a lorry and another child and an adult were injured. In July, as many as 111 people died in car accidents in Spain, an increase of 3 per cent over last year. Driving at speed on busy roads, even within legal limits, puts people’s lives in danger and whether it is tourists or commuters racing down Spain’s highways, drivers need to be well aware of the dangers and never let their guard down, especially in the chaos of the August holidays. Taking the utmost care keeping speeds sensible, showing patience and good manners, and being fully aware of your surroundings and the behaviour of fellow drivers is essential to coping with driving in Spain this summer.

Knee surgery: a last resort BUT if there is no other option it is important to get the best results possible
By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com IN my opinion surgery is to be considered the last resort, the thing you do when you’ve tried everything else or things have got so bad there just isn’t another option. But if you are at that point then I think it’s important to get the BEST results possible. Get a thorough, physical assessment! This MUST include getting your hips, ankles and other knee checked properly as well. All of these joints work together and refer pain to each other. So you must be properly as-

Check your options Arthroscopies are only as effective as placebo and 34 per cent of knee
replacements might be ‘inappropriate’. So do your research, get a second opinion. Surgery might not be the only option, it might just be the only option your doctor can offer you. Get the knee in good shape A knee replacement only replaces the bone not the soft tissue around it. So if the soft tissue is in bad shape before surgery, it’s only going to get worse! The following conditions must be met BEFORE surgery to ensure a good outcome: • Full range of motion – that’s completely straight as well as completely bent • Little or no swelling • Normal walking (no limp!) • Good quad strength. Getting the knee straight is far
more important that getting it bent (you can find basic knee straightening exercises on my blog – www.The BodyworksClinic.com/ blog). Prepare for post-surgery You will most likely need at least one, if not two crutches to get home. These aren’t always provided, so get them before you go and PRACTISE! Have an ice pack or two ready to help to reduce swelling. Start your knee straightening exercises as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours of surgery! (Do check with your physio in case of any complications.)

Brit i sh m e n a n d wome n are the world’s biggest consumers of dry shampoo, with one in four having a can but hairdressers and trichologists are warning that over-using dry shampoo can cause unexpected consequences including itchy, flaky scalps, sores and even bald patches. Whilst phenomenally popular, they say it is ideal for one-off us e, b u t i s n o t d e signed to be used on a regular basis. It contains an oil-absorbing substance which is deposited on the hair to soak up the grease but if it’s used constantly it can dry out the hair and t h e sc a l p a n d make it flaky. If le f t o n t h e h a i r too long or continually bu i l d s u p i f u se d daily and not washed out it can also clog up the pores, leading to spots and sore patches and in some extreme cases women reported small bald patches.

STARING in the mirror can help detect early warning signs of disease
MIRROR MIRROR: Scanners will measure face-shape to look out for weight changes. A SMART mirror that can detect the early signs of disease is being created. Named the Wize Mirror, it uses a number of scanners and sensors to give the user a checkup. After a minute in front of it, the smart mirror can give a score that reveals how healthy a person looks, along with personalised advice for the day. It will include 3D scanners that can measure

BODY SHAPE: An aesthetically pleasing balance.
FitFoxy Looking Good, Staying Trim
DEPENDING on your genetics, you may be naturally blessed with a slim waist. For women especially this is a visually pleasing aesthetic attribute, as the curve of the waist is deemed as rather attractive. There are three basic body shape categories that apply to us: • Ectomorph tall lean athletic shape - does not gain weight easily • Mesomorph hourglass curvy shape - builds muscle easily, gains weight more easily than an Ectomorph • Endomorph Stocky, solid and round bodied - has strong muscles especially
the legs, not so well defined, gains both muscle and fat easily. Training your upper body, paying particular attention to your shoulders, can give the attractive appearance of a narrower waist. The broader and more sculpted your shoulders are, the narrower your waist will appear, giving you a strong aesthetically pleasing balanced body shape. Recommended exercises are: • Dumbbell shoulder presses • Dumbbell side shoulder raises • Dumbbell front shoulder raises • Seated rear delt raises NOTE: Ensure you always warm up and mobilise your body, before performing any of these exercises.

Super spaghetti can reduce the risk of heart disease RESEARCHERS at Spain’s University of Granada, in collaboration with two Italian universities, have developed ‘super spaghetti’ which they claim has more fibre and protein than regular pasta. The University of Granada said this enriched pasta helps reduce cardiovascular risk by being prepared with functional flours. It has been created with the Technological Research and Development Centre of Functional Food (CIDAF) to demonstrate how new technologies can get clean functional flours using wholegrain cereal, avoiding the formation of waste products in the milling process.

‘I feel your pain at the same time’ DOCTOR says he feels same sensations as patients
SUPER SPAGHETTI: Has more fibre and protein than regular pasta. Air classification is used to divide the flour into different fractions without altering its properties. These fractions have different chemical characteristics and can be used depending on the final product to be obtained. The researchers’ final spaghetti product is rich in beta glucans, compared to other pasta on the market, which can help reduce the risk of heart diseases.
MIRROR-TOUCH: Means experiencing same sensations as people he observes. By Gemma Quinn AN American doctor says he physically feels the sensations his patients are going through. Dr Salinas works at the Massachusetts General Hospital and has told the media he has a rare condition called
mirror-touch synaesthesia which means he experiences the same sensations as the people he observes are experiencing. He said he first noticed it when he was a child when he felt like he was being hugged when he saw someone else having the hug.
He said during medical school whilst watching and observing an arm amputation that he had the very graphic feeling like his arm had been dismembered. Whilst it may freak some people out, he said it has made him a better doctor as he can empathise with his patients.

But are those extra seconds saved really worth it in the long term? Multitasking is in reality task-switching, says author of Emotional First Aid, Guy Winch, who claims that moving back and forth between tasks puts the majority of effort on the actual act of switching, reducing overall efficiency and does not allow a sufficient level of concentration on any task. It has also been proved to slow projects down, encourage mistakes and produce stress.

The Desperados THE coast’s new ‘Supergroup’ recreate the unforgettable sound of the ‘Eagles’ BACK in 2014 Steve Nelson and Michael Dickinson had an idea, to join forces and create an ‘Eagles’ tribute band. These two highly respected musicians each had their own band (Shack Attack and Monkey Tennis) and by combining this talent they formed Desperados. Along with Simon Goodwin, Carl Parry, Bastian van de Sant, Colin Still and Kasper Jensen, Steve and Michael set about creating a show that is all about the many ‘Eagles’ hits that people instantly recognise. Most importantly, the harmonies are unique to the ‘Eagles’ sound. Steve first came to the Costa del Sol in World Cup year 1982 along with his wife Kate. In the mid 90s Steve formed the band ‘Mid Life
Crisis,’ very much a ‘Harmonies’ group, who were the house band on many of the Maurice Boland TV shows. Steve then played regularly at The Chicken Shack in El Chaparal where he formed the band ‘Shack Attack’ and they played on the beach every Sunday afternoon for four glorious years, which made them one of the most popular bands on the Costa del Sol. Michael learned piano from a very early age and at 15 he began to develop his own style, influenced by the likes of Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder and Paul Weller. In 1999 at the age of 21, he decided to have a trip to Spain to sample something new and found himself playing piano in a restaurant and being paid! He then formed an acoustic
piano/guitar duo and called themselves Monkey Tennis due to a shared liking for a certain comedy programme. Many different musicians have come and gone as Monkey Tennis members in the following years but Michael remains the frontman for what is one of the most respected groups on the coast. As for the rest of ‘Desperados,’ Simon Goodwin met Steve Nelson through a mutual friend and the rest is history. Simon says, “It’s not the size of the stage or how much you’re getting paid, it’s having a laugh that counts, and Steve and I haven’t stopped laughing since we met!” Bastian van de Sant aka ‘The Doctor,’ plays regularly with ‘Monkey Tennis’ and

Kasper Jesen was born in Denmark and raised in Spain. Kasper has played guitar
since the age of 12 and is an integral part of ‘Desperados,’ alternating with veteran guitarist Colin Still. Over six months later, and after hundreds of hours of rehearsals (some performed live before unwitting, yet appreciative audiences), ‘Desperados’ will premiere at the Hot Summer Nights concert on Friday August 7 in the Mijas auditorium with a 90 minute show of the very

OPINION & COMMENT
A fairytale wedding... do they live happy ever after? But it’s not just the newlyweds who run up costs. Someone I know of went to five weddings last year, a couple of which also involved stag ‘dos.’ The total cost (presents, accommodation, food, drinks etc) he reckoned amounted to several thousand pounds (one wedding alone left him with a bill for almost £1,000). He’s been engaged now for a couple of years, but still can’t afford even the most basic, ‘no frills’ wedding for himself - mainly because he’s constantly being invited to other people’s. But isn’t it about time people focused on the marriage rather than the wedding? After all, when all’s said and done, a wedding lasts only one day. With weddings such Hollywood-style productions nowadays, is it any wonder everyone forgets why they’re actually there, and why a few years later they’ll be experiencing that other procedure called

WITH the wedding season in full swing, a survey by You & Your Wedding (the UK’s leading bridal brand) has revealed that, despite the tough economic climate, brides are more determined than ever to have the wedding of their dreams - at a time when the average cost of a wedding last year was over £20,000 with 50 per cent of brides expecting to go over their initial wedding budget. Hardly surprising, then, many newlyweds now start married life in debt. Or that some go to ever increasing lengths to recoup wedding costs by selling on eBay items bought from their gift list to generate cash!
BIG DAY: It’s time people focused on the marriage rather than the wedding.
As safe as houses Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
MADRID mayor Manuela Carmena has vetoed mass social housing evictions. Last year 220 tenants successfully thwarted the previous corporation’s plans to sell their homes to an investment fund which intended to charge astronomical rents. Undeterred, the former mayor Ana Botella then decided to recover the homes by not renewing rent contracts and as a result, 70 tenants were immersed in eviction proceedings. These have been halted and none will be initiated against thousands of other tenants, Carmena pledged. That is what she was elected for - not erasing Salvador Dali’s name from a Madrid street because he painted Franco’s granddaughter.
Breaking out THE saying about lies, lies and
Grateful thanks should be shown CARMENA is happy to allow a portrait of Felipe VI in the Madrid Council chamber while Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau has banished a bronze bust of Felipe’s father, Juan Carlos I. Attempts to install a portrait of the present king were rebuffed. C o la u , b orn in 1974, w a s too s ma ll to be

S o rea d in g i n the na tiona l Spanish press that six out of 10 Catalans regard independence as unfeasible is what you’d expect to read outside Catalunya where there is scant sympathy for independence. It might not be accurate; it could be way off-beam. But even if that were five out every 10 Catalans or 4.5, then Artur Mas will be having a very sticky summer of it and not only because of record humidity.
aware of Spain’s transition from dictatorship to democracy. Were she older, she would appreciate that if Juan Carlos had behaved differently on Franco’s death, she wouldn’t have a hope in hell of being where she is now.
Staying put FIFTY-FIVE per cent of Basques reject independence, a Metroscopia poll found, and two-thirds are happy as they are. This does not imply Mariano Rajoy should interpret this as approval of the Madrid government. It merely means that, Basques are nationalists, not separatists.

‘divorce.’ With the same people complaining about the cost of living, renting because they can’t afford to buy, their children’s tuition fees etc. But then, a fool and his money... They say it’s the bride’s big day. And there’s me thinking it’s two people getting married! Call me a nostalgic but, please, less stage management and expense, more commitment and sobriety! As we all know, an OTT celebritystyle wedding isn’t the fail-safe recipe for a happy-ever-after scenario. At the wedding of someone else I know of, it was just the two of them, a couple of passers-by they invited in (whose names they didn’t know) and the registrar. And, yes, they’re still happily married.

Spanish gardens with world influences SPAIN has a long history of taking the influences of various cultures and incorporating them into its traditional Spanish garden. The main inspirations have come from Moorish, Persian and Roman traditions and these gardens are havens of
tranquillity, beauty and coolness as they are based on the concept of long ponds set in a walled courtyard with paved areas and shady corners. A cross, based on the main points of the compass often divides the garden into four areas planted with fruit trees and
fragrant plants whilst pergolas and arbors provide places to escape the sun. For inspiration, there are so many traditional gardens open to the public and these can be found all over Spain, especially in the South from Jerez to Sevilla and Granada.

Mortgage numbers increase THE number of mortgages taken out in Spain in May increased for the 12th month running, the National Statistics Institute (INE) has reported. The number of mortgages registered for homes in the country was 19,732, 10.9 per cent more than in May 2014. The average amount registered was €103,992 with the overall amount loaned reaching more than €2 billion. The regions where the most mortgages were registered were Andalucia with 3,717, Madrid with 3,378 and Cataluña with 3,085, although amountwise Madrid led with €496.3 million, followed by Cataluña with €371.4 million and Andalucia with €323.4 million. Of the total, 92.8 per cent of new mortgages in May used variable interest with the Euribor the most common indicator.
Years to buy home A STUDY by fotocasa and Infojobs online employment site has revealed that Spanish workers would need to use their entire income for an average of 5.5 years to buy a new home. The results were obtained by taking average salaries in Spain (€1,969 per month gross) and the average price of property, which for June was reported to be €1,635 per square metre. By region, the Basque Country is the area where workers would take longest to pay at 9.7 years, followed by the Balearic Islands at 7.2 years, Madrid at 7.1 years, Cataluña at 6.9 years, Cantabria at 6.4 years and Galicia at six years.

Time may be right to invest in cities and tourist areas MORE jobs and reduced financing costs are behind the increase in demand By Eleanor Hawkins PROPERTY prices are on the rise this year almost everywhere in Spain, and according to Bankinter will continue to increase over the rest of this year and 2016. The bank has predicted gradual increases in average home prices of 2 per cent this year and 4 per cent next year in popular areas, which will help the sector, recover. More jobs, reduced financing costs and property’s attraction as an investment as opposed to other alternatives are behind increased demand, which will rise to just over 400,000 homes in 2016, the bank has estimated. Yet the cycle of recovery will not

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’re a fan of hot chocolate then you can do no better than Cola Cao. Spanish kids go nuts for a glass of the frothy chocolate liquid, and while chocolate milk is more of a traditional continental European drink, expats soon find that it’s a must for the shopping trolley.

MOVING to a new country can often be a daunting experience. There is a whole new and different culture and lifestyle to acclimatise to and of course – the biggie – a new language to try and come to grips with. Expats who settle in Spain may often find themselves feeling a little out of their depths as they try to come to grips with a whole new world, even though often it is not that different. The littlest differences can sometimes leave people feeling alienated and getting used to how things are done can take some time. Food often plays a part in that acclimatising phase. If you’re British, you may find yourself yearning for a Sunday roast or a packet of pork scratchings – so easily available back home but harder to source abroad (although Spain caters fantastically for British tastes, especially on the Costas). The Irish may find themselves craving a packet of Tayto crisps and the Germans might miss the taste of brockwurst. In Spain there are many supermarkets that cater for international tastes given the large amount of foreigners who call Spain their home, but – and this is key – it isn’t home and things are different. There are plenty of Spanish products, however, that you can add to your shopping cart during a trip to the local supermarket that you’ll find may soon become a staple and help kick that niggling feeling of homesickness out of your mind. During the hot summer months in Spain, an extremely popular drink that helps Spaniards cool down is the pleasingly refreshing ‘tinto de verano’ (summer wine). A simple combination of red wine and lemonade, its flavour and colour brings a tropical tang to any mealtime or sojourn to the beach, and there are a number of brands that sell tinto de verano ready-made. Among the best is ‘Sandevid’. Dirt cheap and low in alcohol, it often sells out quickly when the weather is baking. Spanish beer is – like Sandevid – dirt cheap and much tastier than the usual brews sold in Britain and Ireland. Brands like Mahou, Cruzcampo or Alhambra are sold in most Spanish bars and expats will soon develop a taste for the Iberian golden nectar. It is of

again a more continental European staple, while back in the cold north a typical helping of cheese might consist of some cheddar and a mini Babybel. Spain has a wonderful variety of different cheeses such as Manchego and La Mancha, readily available in every supermarket and corner store. When it comes to cold meats, there is a huge variety on offer and they’re a lot tastier than luncheon meat or spam. Jamon Serrano, chorizo, morcilla and butifarra are just a few of the cold cuts you’ll find, and visit any Spaniard in their home for a meal and there will undoubtedly be a ham stand somewhere in the kitchen, propping up a leg of patanegra or bellota, just ready to be sliced into delicious servings. So don’t allow yourself to be bewildered behind your shopping cart at the array of unfamiliar products on the shelves. A little careful searching will reveal a world of new and tasty items, as well as delicious Spanish equivalents of your favourite treats back home.

THE former Queen’s Park, Third Lanark, Dundee and Rangers full-back of the 1940s/50s, Sammy Cox, has died at the age of 91. He made over 500 club appearances during his career, 370 for the Ibrox Park club, and won 24 caps for Scotland. In season 1948–49, Rangers became the first club in Scottish football history to win the Treble, and Cox played an important role, playing in 43 of Rangers’ 44 matches. Rangers retained the League title in season 1949–1950, and Cox was once again an ever present as Rangers edged out Hibernian by one point. Rangers also retained the Scottish Cup, beating East Fife 3–0 at Hampden. R.I.P.

wich v Crystal Palace and Chelsea v Swansea (teatime). It’s Arsenal v West Ham, Newcastle v Southampton and Stoke v Liverpool on Sunday and WBA v Manchester City on Monday. The top Championship games on the opening day are Brentford versus Ipswich Town (both lost in the play-offs last season) and Charlton Athletic against demoted QPR. This evening we have the third round, second leg qualifying games in the Europa League, including Aberdeen-Kairat (currently at 12), Astra-West Ham (2-2), Inter Baku-At. Bilbao (0-2) and Vitesse Arn-

hem-Southampton (0-3), and last night Celtic (1-0 up) were hoping to make progress in the Champions League against Qarabag in Azerbaijan. Last Saturday, Chelsea Ladies became the first winners of the Women’s FA Cup final at Wembley. A record crowd of 30,000+ saw them beat Notts County 1-0. Twenty-four hours later , 85,437 fans saw Arsenal edge Chelsea 1-0 in the FA Community Shield game at the same venue. Alex OxladeChamberlain was on target Arsenal’s first goal against the Blues for 506 minutes. For manager Arsene Wenger, starting his 20th season in charge at The Emirates, it was his first win over Jose Mourinho and for Arsenal it was their first victory over Chelsea for four years.

STEVE FINN: Man of the match in Ashes Test.
DID YOU KNOW? Leeds United’s midfielder Mick Bates was the first player to be sent off TWICE in the same European competition – dismissed against Partizan Belgrade in the Fairs Cup in November 1967 and against Dinamo Bucharest in November 1970.
Getting in the swing with Campbell Lamont By Tony Myles THERE were two significant golf tournaments over the past weekend and they reminded me of those Spot the Difference newspaper competitions. Except that with these two events the differences were identified with ease. Having watched the Ricoh Women’s British Open at Turnbury and the Tiger sponsored Quicken Loans, it is evident that there are very clear disparities between the male and female professional games. New golf super power One of the first things you notice is the increasing dominance of Asian players in the ladies’ upper strata. Out of the top 20 finishers, 10 were Asian players. This is reflected in the world rankings
where again, nine of the top 20 are Asian players. A few have relocated to other countries but the names at the top are a very strong indicator of the emergence of spectacular golfing talent from China, Japan and especially from Korea. The winner, who demonstrated the most resilient golf, was world number one, Inbee Park. A solid performer from Korea who already had a hoard of major golf titles to her name. However - whilst the vast majority of golfers would have little difficulty in identifying Jordan Spieth I would bet that Inbee could turn up at your next Texas Scramble and nobody would recognise her. I would even go further by suggesting that if she was identified as the world number one very few would be able to name her. This conjecture is supported by the size of the winner’s purse. In Gainesville, Virginia, the Quicken Loans winner, Troy Merritt, held off Rickie Fowler to top the leaderboard and collect
$1.2 million whilst in Turnbury - recently renamed Trump Turnbury - Inbee Park came from five shots back to overtake her own protégée Jin-Young Ko and collect a mere £298,000. Of course it is a large sum and a good return on four days’ effort but it does bear comparison when the standard of golf was equally high in both events and it is merely the level of exposure that is determining the value. So what is the point? In summary, I spotted: 1. Strong challenge being mounted by Asian countries in the ladies’ game. 2. Limited coverage of the ladies’ events. 3. Much lower prize value for the ladies. What do you think? Email info@clgolf.es with any comments PS: Got to squeeze in a “Well done!” to a fantastic teenage Spanish newcomer Luna Sobron, who finished tied 13th and hopes to become a professional at the end of this year.
