Shark scare on the Costa

By Matt Ford Beachgoers in Fuengirola got an almighty scare when lifeguards blew their whistles, screaming and waving frantically at bathers to get out the sea after a shark was apparently spotted a few metres offshore.

Although this could not be confirmed by official sources, almost three kilometres of coastline were immediately shut down, with red flags hoisted for around five hours.

The alert was broadcast just after midday on Sunday, August 28 when three separate calls were received by the 112 emergency service. One claimed to have seen the dorsal fin of a shark measuring “three or four metres” in length.

Witnesses recounted scenes reminiscent of the movie Jaws as hundreds of terrified swimmers stampeded out the water.

Within minutes, the entire strip between Sohail Castle and the border with Mijas was emp-

tied of bathers. A Guardia Civil patrol vessel combed the area, but no evidence of the creature was found and the green flag was raised again.

Many holidaymakers re-

mained wary with most avoiding a dip until the next day.

“We were told we could swim but many people were on edge,” said Roberto who’s on holiday from Madrid.

Juan Jesus Martin, a biologist from the Aula del Mar museum in Malaga City said: “There’s no sharks in the Med because they move in open sea, it may have been a dolphin or sunfish.

We can be calm because there’s never been a shark attack near the beach.”

But a shark expert told EWN this view is wrong. For the full story turn to page 4.

Former Hazardous highways Miss GB hits Marbs Polluted playa LOCAL NEWS

FOUR of the most dangerous stretches of road in Spain can be found on the A-357 and A-384 in Malaga Province, according to the Directorate General of Traffic.

Motorists should thus be particularly careful when driving from Campillos to Malaga, Cartama to Ardales, and Arcos de la Frontera to Antequera via Algodonales.

ALTHOUGH Marbella Council proudly announced that it was bringing in municipal boats to clean local waters back in June, the system does not appear to be working in the Puente Romano area.

Beachgoers are up in arms over the amount of floating plastic and other rubbish, and are asking for the boats to come closer to the area.

B&B building blaze EMERGENCY firefighters were called to the Hotel Los Alamos in Torremolinos on the evening of August 30, when a fire broke out in the neglected building. The infamous hotel

has been repossessed by the department of Social Security but has been the victim of squatters and vandals for nearly two years since the original owners went into liquidation.

By John Smith ZARA HOLLAND, the former Miss GB who had her title revoked following a ‘fling’ on screen with a fellow competitor in ITV2’s Love Island has garnered plenty of press for her activities following her ‘disgrace.’

Many, including Caroline Flack, presenter of the programme, felt that she had been badly treated by the Miss GB organisers as it appeared that they were taking a hypocritical moral stance which was not appropriate in this day and age for a competition which basically promoted the body beautiful.

Zara seems to have overcome her disappointment and is making a name for he rs e lf promoting and mode lling va ri ous clothing lines.

She spent the weeke nd of A ugus t 2 6 i n Marbella with her family, celebrating her 21st birthday and visiting a number of trendy restaurants and clubs, including Elliott Wright’s eatery Olivia’s, in the area before returning to the UK.

Your papers, your views Our readers have been expressing their views about airport car rental firms which appeared on our website.

www.euroweeklynews.com Here are a few of your comments some of which have had to be cut due to size but we are always happy to hear from everyone.

Buyer beware WE all know that it’s a scam, because pretty much everything these days is. The key is to be smart about it. Get cheaper insurance from the UK, take photos, drive carefully, and scream like a madman if they start with their shenanigans!

Malcolm

Expect the worst WE returned a car once to Alicante airport only to be told we had to pay an extra €400 for a scratch which was already there when we got it! We didn’t have a camera and at the time thought it was so minor we just ignored it. Shudder to think if we had no back-up insurance.

Elizabeth

BE PREPARED: Research firms, take photos and have back-up insurance so you’re not left out of pocket.

By Matthew Elliott “SORRY sir, but as you travelled in excess of 2,000km we will have to charge an additional €2 per excess kilometre, a total of €250. We’ve also identified a small scratch right here which will cost €600 to repair.

Did you take out our insurance? No? Ok sir, we will have to charge you €850...now how would you like to pay?”

Not many things are more infuriating than being ripped off at the end of your travels. Especially when you predicted it would happen, took measures to prevent it, and yet had to stand there seething as your pockets were emptied.

Every year thousands of British residents and tourists fall foul of the airport car rental giants who offer seemingly reasonably priced deals.

They encourage the traveller to explore Spain or use a vehicle just for those little journeys that we all undertake.

But these deals are too often turning out to mask an organised pricefixing cartel who have engineered their hire policies to ensure they turn a healthy profit in what is a very cutthroat industry. But should this be at

There’s a strong chance that an eagle-eyed attendant will uncover some rubber mark or chip that was barely noticeable before.” the expense of the traveller?

Not all car hire firms are the same of course but there are some chains present at Spanish airports which try to ensure you rarely walk away having paid the originally agreed upon fee.

A highly competitive offer will be made for a week-long car rental but then, upon collection, customers will be told of the prudent value of taking out full insurance. Some readers have told EWN this is given with the same cheerful promise you might find when asked outside a football ground for a few quid to have someone ‘watch your car.’

That insurance typically costs at least as much as the entire rental deal, upwards of €5 per day, is not

required in any legal sense travellers complain, and many customers will have insurance policies that cover damage under €1,000 anyway, typically for around €50 per year.

Any extras, whether sat nav, a booster seat, WiFi or a second driver will be offered for an expensive fee and you will be asked to pay for a full tank of petrol, often at well above market price.

When you return the car, rest assured there’ll be a full sweep and, no matter how angelically you might think you drove it, there’s a strong chance that an eagle-eyed attendant will uncover some rubber mark or chip that was barely noticeable before. Suddenly this represents a glaring €500 hole in your bank account until your insurance comes through, assuming you have some.

If you were smart you went on a photography spree when you hired the car, covering every nook and cranny with your phone, dating the photos and having them handy as evidence.

If there is a ‘new,’ yet achingly minor dust mark somewhere, then sometimes simply kicking up a fuss can save you a few hundred euros, especially when there’s no clear cut

damage for them to point to, and a crowd of waiting customers yet to hand over their own hard-earned cash.

Whatever you do, don’t leave it to fate and be tempted by the ‘leave the keys in the box’ approach. Make sure that when you return the car you have it confirmed that no additional charges will be made and you do not risk fuming over a bill levied from a thousand miles away.

Keep an eye out online for reviews of particular car rental firms but remember, at the airport they are all essentially in the same business.

For some that means tactics which end with an angry consumer who is now out of pocket.

The market is an oligopoly with customers feeling at their most vulnerable: stressed out, in a queue, in a foreign country, and in desperate need of a car. So, if you’re renting soon from an airport firm, be smart and prepare yourself.

A camera, back-up insurance and careful driving should be your weapons of choice, and leave yourself plenty of time for a boisterous exchange when you return the car.

Who knows, perhaps with this mindset you can relish the challenge.

Corrupt economy IT’S a cartel like any other cartel, whether we are talking about drugs, oil, or weapons.

The larger corporations rig the game in their favour and rake in the profits as the little people are left with no choice but to agree to the terms or make their lives much more difficult.

Neil

Just your luck OCCASIONALLY I hire a car when I’ve guests over or some shopping to do. I choose a deal from Malaga airport and find it depends on the person. Sometimes they’re lovely but others seem to have daily targets to hit...

Annie

Screeching revenge I REMEMBER reading about a furious customer who emptied a full tank of petrol circling Palma airport because the car hire company had a full/empty policy and the alternative was giving them the tank!

Are sharks in the Med?

By Matt Ford AFTER a local marine biologist proclaimed “there are no sharks in the Mediterranean” in the wake of the unconfirmed sighting in Fuengirola at the weekend, EWN was determined to investigate.

We spoke with Elisenda Mateus Valls, a shark expert and biologist at the Institut de Ciencies del Mar (Marine Sciences Instiutute) in Barcelona.

She is adamant there are plenty of the marine predators inhabiting local waters, although you’re extremely unlikely to see one.

“Contrary to popular belief, there are at least 47 species of shark inhabiting the Mediterranean Sea,” said Valls.

“These include some of the most iconic predators, including the great white, the great hammerhead, long and short fin makos, thresher, basking, black and whitetips, blue and bronze whaler sharks.

“Fifteen are considered dangerous or potentially dangerous, and 16 measure three metres or more in length as

adults, but encounters between humans and sharks in the region are extremely rare.”

Only around 60 cases of interactions between humans and sharks in the Mediterranean have been recorded since 1899, while the last major attack in Spain happened in March 1986 in Tarifa, just outside the Mediterranean.

In that case a white shark attacked a surfer, causing non-

fatal injuries, and statistics show that the risk of being attacked by a shark in the Med itself is extremely small.

That is not to say that there are not monster sharks out there: in September 1998, a very large white shark measuring approximately 5.5 metres in length was caught on video from a sport fishing boat 35km off the Adriatic coastline in Italy.

“ W h i t e sharks are definitely resident here in the Mediterranean,” says Valls, “but their population is thought to be declining due to overfishing of tuna and other pelagic fishes which the sharks feed on.

“Realistically, there is almost no chance at all that you will be bitten while swimming in the sea.”

Slippery Saturday waterslide FOLLOWING the success of the whacky scheme in 2015, Torremolinos Council will once again be installing a 50 metre waterslide on Calle Europe on Saturday, September 3.

Participation is free, with tickets available between 10am and 1pm near the entrance to the slide. Anyone wishing to have a go should don a swimsuit and bring a rubber ring, lilo or similar.

By Matt Ford and David Humphrey IT has been another difficult week for lifeguards operating on the Costa del Sol’s packed beaches, with two fatalities and a number of rescues.

Fifteen people have now lost their lives on the Malaga coast since the start of the summer, with the latest victims a 53-year-old French tourist and a 77-year-old Briton, both of whom died in Torremolinos.

In the first case, the 112 emergency service received a call just after 4.30pm on Sunday, August 28, and were

briefed that a female bather was in difficulties on Los Alamos beach.

Lifeguards tried to revive her, but she was pronounced dead once an ambulance had arrived on the scene, although she is not thought to have drowned.

A British holidaymaker then died on El Bajondillo beach the following day.

The elderly man suffered a suspected stroke while attempting to climb aboard an inflatable ‘banana boat’ - witnesses described how he began to suffer breathing difficulties as the speedboat towing the contraption started up.

A number of beachgoers, including the operator of the inflatable, managed to get the stricken man back to shore before lifeguards arrived on the scene.

The rescuers were already attempting to resuscitate him before medics and Local Police officers took over, but their efforts were in vain.

In other incidents on the coast over the course of the week, a lifeguard team based on Playa Ancha beach in Casares were forced to swoop into action to save two 12year-old girls on Thursday, August 25.

The youngsters had entered the water despite the red flag being raised and were quickly overpowered by a powerful riptide, with their parents nowhere to be seen.

Rescue attempts initially failed as the strong current pulled the girls further out to sea, but they were eventually brought ashore following a dramatic 15-minute rescue which involved three life-

The officer realised a bather was in serious difficulty and “had stopped swimming” as he battled against a heavy swell.

The yellow flag was on display but the fearless policeman managed to reach the stricken swimmer and drag

Pond life AS reported in EWN 1625, San Roque Council is investigating the reasons behind the ongoing desiccation of Maria Montoya pond, and they have now issued a warning to residents.

Council spokesperson, Dolores Marchena, has warned citizens that the site is becoming ‘a swamp,’ making access dangerous.

In addition, the official was keen to stress that the carp which inhabit the pool are an introduced, invasive species, meaning that if anyone considers a rescue attempt by transferring the fish to other rivers or ponds they would be guilty of an environmental crime.

“We understand the goodwill of residents, but it is an invasive species, and if we moved them to another place we would be destroying protected, native species,” she said.

The council is conducting a study on the artificial pool, and is preaching a message of calm until results are in.

Huge drugs ring brought to justice

By John Smith THE Guardia Civil and the Mossos d’Esquadra, in a joint operation, have dismantled a criminal organisation dedicated to drug trafficking operating in Barcelona and the Campo de Gibraltar.

The operation has resulted in the arrest of 12 members of the organisation, the impounding of more than 2,800 kilos of hashish and seizure of four dinghies, two tractors, six luxury cars, five guns, more than 72,000 euros in cash, and a number of police uniforms.

Although initially based in Barcelona, part of the group moved to Malaga Province where their main activity was to steal drugs and other items of value from rival gangs.

As this venture proved unsuccessful, they returned to their previous role, drug smuggling, and set up a further base in which to store the drugs in Nerja.

Having been involved in a disastrous operation off the Axarquia coast, when a boat smuggling drugs from Morocco broke down at sea and the boat they sent out to rescue it also broke down, the smugglers had to abandon their cargo and were rescued by the Salvamar helicopter.

Subsequent to this, they moved their operation to the Campo of Gibraltar, renting a property on which they spent a

Investigations showed that they also had a property in La Linea de la Con-

They quickly tracked the blaze to a fourth floor residence, where they proceeded to hammer on the door until the ‘sooty-faced’ child answered, telling the officers that his brother remained asleep inside as thick smoke billowed out.

Having to crawl under the smoke, the officers managed to drag the second youngster out, at which point their father arrived home from work.

DUE to a roof problem causing a potential threat to visitors, a decision was made to completely renovate the steeple roof at the Las Chapas municipal office in Marbella at a cost of 100,000 euros.

It was after a major storm earlier this year that it was considered imperative to undertake the work in order to ensure the safety of those using the building.

Part of the roof was dismantled and removed by crane so that workers could have easy access to the damaged area, the roof has now been restored to the building, all scaffolding removed, and Avenido Pinsapo has been reopened to the public.

POPPED UP: The Guadalteba lake and emergent necropolis.

By Matt Ford THE ongoing lack of rainfall in Malaga Province has exerted a detrimental effect on water resources in the region, with several major dams now containing dangerously little water.

This shortfall has produced a particularly stark image at the Guadalteba r e s e r v o i r, i n t h e G u a d a l horce dam complex, where the remains of Peñarrubia have reappeared from their submerged exile.

The hamlet was one of

those flooded when the dam was constructed in the 1960’s, and in addition to the ruined houses and other buildings, one of the valley’s archaeological jewels can also be seen.

Considered to be among the oldest tombs in the area, the Las Eras de Peñarrubia necropolis has been dated to the late Ro-

m a n a n d Vi s i g o t h period between the second and eighth centuries AD, also known as the Late Antiquity Epoch.

Dolphin disaster on the Costa A TOTAL of four dead dolphins have washed up on Malaga’s beaches this week, with the latest appearing on Los Rubios de Torre de Benagalbon beach on Monday August 29.

Since Thursday August 25, individuals have also been recovered from Mezquitilla-Lagos in Velez-Malaga, Baños del Carmen, and La Araña in Malaga City.

Juan Jose Castillo, a veterinarian at the Aula del Mar Museum, says that the numbers are not unusual, with between 40 and 80 of the cetaceans appearing along the Costa del Sol each year.

However, many female dolphins wean their calves in August and September, which can cause an increase in the number of juvenile specimens killed.

Dolphin numbers have declined drastically in the Mediterranean, with thousands wiped out during epizootic (temporarily prevalent) outbreaks of a particular viral infection throughout 19901992 and 2007-2008.

The latter mass die offs are thought to have been due to an immunity decrease, caused by increased exposure to environmental pollutants and heavy metals obtained by eating contaminated fish.

Calls for cutpurse crackdown

PLAZA DEL SOCORRO: One of the hot spots in the crime wave.

By Matt Ford

THE Union of Local Police and Firefighters in Ronda has requested that they be allowed to form a special unit to combat the increasing presence of pickpockets in the historic town.

Chiefs of the two services believe the measure to be necessary following recent revelations (see EWN 1624) that tour guides and local business owners have resorted to using WhatsApp in order to alert police when the fleet-fingered raiders are active.

Despite their best efforts, the prob-

lem persists, and on Friday August 26, four separate couples were relieved of 400 euros, 200 euros (on two separate occasions), and a digital camera.

Most of the crimes appear to be perpetuated by Romanian nationals, with one couple caught red-handed.

The same pair had been identified on

six separate occasions, while rumours of a team of female Bosnian sneak thieves are also rife.

Most of the robberies have occurred in the main tourist hot spots, such as the Puente Nuevo bridge, Plaza de España, the aptly-named Plaza del Socorro, Calle Espinel, and near the bullring.

EYE IN THE SKY: Called out to aid search.

Rescue successful FIFTY THREE African migrants, 45 men and eight women, arrived safely in Malaga Port at about 3.15pm on Saturday (August 27), after an intense search of the sea was sparked when coastguards received a tipoff that a dinghy had left Alhucemas in Morocco around 7.30am.

Emergency services 112 said that the report was initially received by the Almeria coordination centre, but passed onto Tarifa

due to suspicions that the dinghy could be closer to Malaga.

The coastguards’ Sasemar 101 aircraft eventually spotted the migrants adrift 35 nautical miles south of Malaga, and the Concepcion Arenal lifeboat was sent to intercept the vessel and carry the occupants to port, where some were treated by the Red Cross after displaying signs of hypothermia.

AMBITIOUS PLAN: Further delay while cutting through red tape.

By Eleanor Hawkins WORK on the huge commercial and leisure park planned in Torremolinos by British company Intu, may not begin until October or November.

Displaying typical vim, the Junta de Andalucia Regional Government has yet to approve the PGOU land planning documents.

Construction was expected to

be under way by September, with the capitalist utopia expected to create 4,000 jobs.

This is far from the the first delay encountered by the developers who are busy making contacts and drawing up collaboration agreements with local organisations, including the University of Malaga and the Spanish Association Against Cancer.

Intu is expected to spend 650

million euros on the centre, of which one third will be dedicated to shopping areas, while the rest will house state of the art leisure facilities, including a wave-pool for surfing, dry ski slope and outdoor rock climbing facility.

The local council appear set to pocket almost 20 million euros in building licences and other fees, representing about 20 per cent of its annual budget.

By Eleanor Hawkins ECOVIDRIO, the non-profit organisation in charge of managing glass recycling in Spain, has teamed up with the Senior Masters Cup tennis tournament to be held at Puente Romano Tennis Club, Marbella, next month to raise awareness of the importance of recycling.

The agreement will see glass recycling containers put in place all over the tennis club, while videos on the subject will be screened.

The campaign will also hit the streets of the Costa del Sol with special containers encouraging people to recycle and help collect sufficient glass to fabricate the trophies for the tournament.

STANDING GUARD: Lifeguards try out the new portable sails system.

By Matt Ford FOLLOWING the recent spate of drownings off the Costa de Sol, Fuengirola Council has decided to take action.

Most of the incidents have been caused by dangerous currents brought on by the westerly ‘levante’ winds, which have been particularly ubiquitous this summer.

In addition to the standard red flags warning beachgoers

that it is not safe to enter the water, a new system using portable ‘sails’ will be employed when riptides are present.

Ten of the contraptions are now available for the municipal lifeguard service, making Fuengirola one of the Costa del Sol’s best-equipped resorts in terms of beach security.

They will be placed at strategic locations chosen by the chief lifeguard, depending on

the prevailing conditions.

Mayor Ana Mula stressed that bathers who ignore the flags, sails, and PA announcements advising of treacherous conditions do not only endanger their own lives, but also those of lifeguards who come to the aid of struggling swimmers.

“We must be aware of the importance of these signals, and it is absolutely necessary to respect them,” she said.

More than birdies and eagles

By Matt Ford LOCAL wildlife is increasingly being forced to rely on artificial environments such as golf courses for food, and particularly water, during this driest of summers, say local biologists.

The Costa del Golf, as the Costa del Sol is also known, may be extremely successful in terms of attracting tourism to the region, but it has exerted an absolutely devastating effect on local rivers.

So much water is required to keep the fairways and greens looking spick and span that local aquifers have been overexploited.

Although Mediterranean rivers do typically dry up in summer, under normal conditions there tend to be some permanent pools which remain wet, but in many cases these are now disappearing.

This presents a particular problem for sedentary species such as amphibians, and especially freshwater fishes, which are unable to move to find new sources of water.

Specifically, he was shocked to find

traces of otters, which are extremely rare in Malaga Province, but which he believes may be using water traps in order to catch carp, a non-native, highly-destructive species which is typically stocked since it consumes nuisance algae.

Other positive outcomes include the

presence of native turtles, which are under threat due to habitat loss and competition with North American species which are sold as cute, coin-sized pets but often released when they grow too large for their tiny plastic containers or aquaria.

OFFICERS of the National Police have arrested four Spanish men aged between 45 and 60 in Marbella who were allegedly involved in crimes of robbery with violence and intimidation, threats and coercion after apparently making the owner of a painting sign a contract in a restaurant in Marbella.

After several attempts by the gang to sell the 16th century painting which, if genuine, is said to be worth €300,000, it has been recovered from the home of one of the detainees in Andújar (Jaen).

The original complaint over the loss of the painting was first lodged with the Guardia Civil who passed it on to the National Police. According to the complaint, the seller came to Marbella to negotiate a sale with an alleged buyer, who, together with three other men, threatened and coerced him to sign a contract of assignment to one of them.

Based on information received, the officers took action to arrest all of the men involved and recovered the painting.

Zero to hero

By Matt Ford AN auxiliary security guard was the man of the hour after he managed to disarm a knifewielding multi-drug addict and schizophrenic who broke into a Local Police station in Marbella.

Alone at the time, the guard’s initial reaction was panic as the man appeared at the door, brandishing his weapon.

“My first thought was that he was going to attac k m e , a n d t h e s e c o n d th a t I w as alone without any means of defending myself, because we auxiliary staff are not armed,” he said.

The man began to enter the office, shout-

ing that he had problems in his life, but holding the knife to his own chest.

Having pressed the emergency button, the nerveless guard then began to talk the hysterical intruder down, telling him to calm down, but he continued to go berserk.

“His eyes were bloodshot, as if he had consumed some substance,” recounted the guard. “Then, he suddenly collapsed, so I p u t b o th his ha nds a nd his he a d on the counter and wrenched the knife off him.”

Once reinforcements arrived, the stricken man was taken to a mental health hospital, after it transpired that he had a history of drug addiction and schizophrenia, and is also suffering from HIV.

Local well has run dry SAN ROQUE Council’s environmental department have been tasked with investigating the curious loss of water from Maria Moya pond, located close to the Caracolera finca, following complaints from local residents.

Initial reports suggest that high temperatures, extraction

of water for fighting wildfires, and dessication of its two principal tributaries may be to blame.

The two streams which feed it ran dry several months ago, and the council have advised the territorial delegation of the regional environmental ministry to investigate

the existence of illegal wells which may be diverting the water before it arrives to the pond.

They also warn that if something is not done soon, there is likely to be a profound effect on aquatic life inhabiting the wetland, which include some rare species.

The unions are kicking up a stink as they say that the inspector should not have issued orders to on-duty officers who were not under his command, with his instructions allegedly including that posters advertising parking for five euros be taken down immediately.

Plucky couple in double trouble A VICIOUS highwayman who went on a mini rampage on Malaga’s Avenida Carlos Haya, was apprehended by a Local Police patrol after biting off more than he could chew.

The drama unfolded when a 70-year-old married couple from Madrid, who were enjoying a holiday on the Costa del Sol, were attacked by a man brandishing a knife.

After cornering the luck less pensioners against a wall, he demanded the bum bag being worn by the husband, but the fearless tourist

refused to hand it over.

The aggressor then attempted to stab the elderly man, who dodged the first lunge, but received cuts to his hands as he raised them to defend the second.

This caused his wrathful wife to join the fray, and she was stabbed in the arm before the cowardly criminal decided to cut and run.

The bleeding couple sought refuge in a nearby petrol station, but the pair were left dumbstruck as they entered to find the clerk hysterical after being held at gunpoint and punched in the

arm by the same villain.

She, too, had attempted to thwart the raider, with the frustrated felon eventually striding behind the counter and forcing the till open before making a run for it having appropriated a small amount of cash.

He did not get far, as he was intercepted by a police patrol who had been alerted after the first incident.

The gun turned out to be fake, and the mugger now faces a criminal trial due to his long history of petty offences dating back to the 1990s.

UPCOMING ELECTIONS: Putin is tightening his grip.

Kremlin confusion RUSSIA is preparing for nationwide elections next month but changes within Putin’s inner circle are drawing more attention from analysts, given that the election results are assured. Several close associates have been removed from positions of power in recent weeks, leading to speculation that Putin is tightening his personal grip on Kremlin politics.

The details of the whistleblower who spoke out on institutional Russian cheating were targeted in what is thought to be an act of retribution.

Spanish pork exports SPAIN is finding new markets to sell pork after a decision to ban import of Spanish pork into Russia. Asia, and China in particular, are becoming major importers of meat from Aragon meaning the price is starting to rise again.

Spain has also become only the second nation in the EU to be allowed to export fresh pork to Mexico, but producers are proceeding carefully, as Canada and the USA have been the main suppliers up to now and are not so heavily regulated with regards to the use of drugs and hormones.

Spanish growth ALMOST despite itself, the Spanish economy in real terms continues to see growth albeit not enormous in GDP according to the National Statistics Institute (INE) which has announced that the economy grew by 0.8 per cent in the second quarter of 2016.

It’s not all good news as overall growth has slowed down but any rise is considered positive and the growth is thanks in part to relatively stable household consumption bolstered by the fact that unemployment continues downwards with nearly 500,000 new jobs created in the past 12 months.

Sterling is still weak after Brexit vote Ask the expert Peter Loveday Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com

THE UK vote to leave the EU on June 23, 2016 has weakened the pound significantly but it’s only part of the story behind Sterling weakness. On August 4, the Bank of England announced a very aggressive stimulus programme to stave off the threat of a UK recession. This caught investors by surprise, particularly as Mr Carney and his colleagues at the Bank of England (BOE) decided not to take any action in July.

This new programme of measures is proving to be the driving force behind the lower value of the pound. With interest rates cut to a record low of 0.25 per cent, the ‘big deal’ for Sterling right now is the Bank is once again active and ready to flood the markets with cash. This was clearly signalled as they announced plans to restart an asset buying programme to purchase UK government debt (Gilts) by adding an additional £60 billion to the market.

The huge demand created by the BOE’s bond buying programme has boosted the price of UK

STERLING SLUMP: Following the Brexit result.

Gilt futures, which in turn pushed down the returns to bond holders with some short dated bond yields turning negative for the first time in their 300-year history. This dynamic could actually continue as the BOE has left the door open to further rate cuts and more quantitative easing.

Hawkish BOE Monetary Policy Committee

member Ian McCafferty, wrote in The Times that further quantitative easing and interest rate cuts are also a real possibility in the future, which signals the Bank is willing to do ‘whatever it takes’ to achieve economic growth without acknowledging the negative impact these measures will have on pension pots.

Ros Altman, a former minister under David Cameron, was quick to point out the BOE stimulus has the potential to tip the UK pension industry into a funding crisis as pension funds are some of the biggest investors in gilts, and traditionally offer a relatively safe and reliable source of income.

After Mr Cafferty’s article in The Times, the pound fell lower and the negative bias is set to continue as investors will surely turn their attention to data coming out of the UK. Traders will look for any weakening of the UK economic outlook.

On a positive note, August’s UK manufacturing results were mixed, with industrial production better at 1.6 per cent while manufacturing production declined to 0.9 per cent.

After the vote, the outlook has materially deteriorated and prompted the BOE to pre-empt an economic slowdown. A Reuters poll points to a mild recession, with the economy contracting by 0.1 per cent in the third and fourth quarter as firms hold off investment. Most of those surveyed thought that the BOE will chop rates in November, and expect fiscal stimulus in the autumn statement. Governor Mark Carney seems to be hinting monetary policy has limits and fiscal policy could prove a more effective fix.

New polymer banknote for Gibraltar

By John Smith AS announced at last August’s commemoration of the birth of Sir Joshua Hassan, the Government of Gibraltar is to issue a new polymer £100 banknote featuring his image.

Not only will this be the first ever legal tender £100 sterling banknote to be produced in polymer, it will also be Gibraltar’s first in this material. The note will have a smoother feel than traditional banknote paper and be more durable while staying cleaner for longer.

The n e w p o l y m e r b an k n o te s have been produced by De La Rue and printed on Safeguard® substrate. The design will be similar to the existing paper banknote but with a large clear window showing a holog r a m wh i c h c a n b e s e e n from both the front and back of the note and which will be highly reflective, showing images of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the letter ‘G’ for Gibraltar.

Using Advanced Image Plane holography, the hologram on the

CHIEF MINISTER: Fabian Picardo with Lady Hassan and her daughters. note will offer high levels of security against counterfeiting whilst simultaneously showcasing all the clarity, colour, movement and true d ep th ac h iev ab le on a polyme r

substrate.

Chief Minister Fabian Picardo said whilst showing Lady Hassan and her two daughters: “We are proud to be issuing a £100 note

w hic h is at t he cut t i ng edge of banknote design and whose security features are second to none. De La Rue has worked closely with us to achieve this successful launch

and we are most grateful to them.”

The launch of any new banknote product is both expensive and potentially catastrophic if anything goes wrong which is why manufacturers often use smaller administrations as ‘guinea pigs’ to test new materials.

The loss of such a client whilst embarrassing would not be financially damaging, unlike any situation where a major central bank could cancel contracts worth millions of pounds.

One of the best remembered disasters in recent years saw the hologram on a special Australia Bicentenary $10 bank note issued in 1988 fall off when the note was being demonstrated as being almost indestructible on TV. There will probably be more demand for this new Gibraltar note from collectors than those who wish to use it although as has previously been reported, certain sections of the financial community have been lobbying for the withdrawal of high value bank notes whi ch ar e popul ar wi t h m oney launderers and smugglers.

Important changes at WhatsApp

APP ADJUSTMENTS: May alienate existing users if adverts are introduced.

By John Smith PARTICULARLY popular in Spain, although it is used by many millions around the world, the WhatsApp messaging system - purchased by Facebook for $19 billion (€16.8 billion) in 2014 - saw few modifications following the acquisition, but that is about to change in two major ways.

Firstly, it plans to share member ’s phone numbers with Facebook as it argues that this will help the social network provide more appropriate friend suggestions and also apparently will allow it to direct more relevant advertisements to its users.

Whilst WhatsApp users may be somewhat upset by the sharing of user information and also details of how often they use the service, there is an assurance that the actual messages between WhatsApp users will remain confidential due to the oft trumpeted fact that the messages are encrypted.

For those who object to their information being shared, it will be possible to opt out provided that users follow a procedure detailed on the Whatsapp website.

In order to find this information you have to enter the Legal Information section which states ‘If you are an existing user, you can choose not to have your WhatsApp account information shared with Facebook to improve your Facebook ads and products experiences. Existing users who accept our updated Terms and Privacy Policy will have an additional 30 days to make this choice by going to Settings > Account.’

In other words, you can’t opt out on the website but have to wait until you are invited to agree to updated terms and conditions which will be received on your mobile phone at which time you will then need to take the necessary action to opt out!

As nothing truly comes for nothing, the ‘joint ‘company

will also ‘assist’ its clients by allowing adverts to be sent as WhatsApp messages from businesses that are prepared to pay for the privilege.

It is not known whether it will be possible to opt out of this service as one of the attractions of WhatsApp is that it has been advert and generally spam free.

Experts expect there will be quite considerable testing to see whether a proliferation of advertising messages will not just irritate users but also send them to look for other options, as no doubt rivals will be prepared to invest in producing more friendly Apps.

Having spent so much money to acquire WhatsApp and having made promises about the retention of its independence, Facebook needs to be very careful that it doesn’t alienate existing users and put off potential users by irritating them with too many marketing messages.

Ban the burkini? I say yes LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT I AM 100 per cent in agreement that the beach shroud or ‘Burkini’ should be completely banned from public bathing sites. The reason? It offends me.

In the countries supported by those who follow these practices, it is not only against the law to even show a glimmer of flesh, the full weight of the law will drop on anyone who seeks to do so.

I have seen western women’s arms and lower legs struck by ‘religious police,’ who carry thick bamboo canes explicitly for this purpose.

And this to foreign women, who have tried to respect the country they are in, but unfortunately find their Kaftans have not quite reached low enough or are not long sleeved enough to satisfy these hypocritical bigots. The reason? It ‘offends’ them.

Although I’m not in the habit of

ACCEPTABLE ATTIRE: Uncovered or undercover? wearing a bikini on the beach (not a pretty sight!) I can see how a Western women, in perfectly acceptable

bathing attire, can be made to feel totally uncomfortable lying next to a ‘holier than thou’ member of the

same sex wearing a black diving suit. Well, the idea of that in our free democracy offends me.

After the Second World War our countries were completely devoid of colour and variety. Vehicles and clothing were a drab mixture of grey and black.

Slowly but surely, we began to recover from the horrors of war and with it came the emergence of wonderful colours and fashions that played an important role in lifting us from the depression and misery inflicted by the conflict.

It therefore offends me to find parts of our societies being taken over by people, whose ancestors have played no part in the shaping of our countries, parading the pavements in depressive black shrouds and now wanting to extend their bigotry to our resorts and democratic places of fun and freedom.

Areas which have been fought and won for by men and women who had more courage in their little fingers than those millions of cowards fleeing from the countries they seem to want to emulate so badly.

Well you all offend me.

All love Leapy.

Points to consider regarding tax GONE are the days when you presented your Annual Income Tax Return (RENTA) to the Spanish Tax Office informing them of your annual income, general pensions and revenue from capital, declaring interest generated from savings accounts and investments held in Spain, and omitting interest received from the UK or other countries.

Over the last few years there has been a gradual introduction of different regulations aimed at minimising tax fraud, which is why it is very important that residents of Spain and residents of the UK account for tax correctly on their annual income irrespective of whether this is generated in the country of residence or elsewhere.

Also, if you own a property in the UK, are considering selling and are a resident of Spain, before doing anything it is important to find out what the consequences are going to be for you tax wise.

With the correct advice the decision you make will lead you in the right direction and could mean paying less tax. If you receive rental income from a UK property bear in mind you have the obligation to submit self-assessment tax returns to the UK Authorities and have to declare the rental income in Spain as well.

This does not mean you will pay double tax, but handling things correctly will save

in the UK. It is a process that needs to be dealt with simultaneously in both countries. For this it is fundamental to receive advice from professionals who understand both tax systems, British and Spanish.

Do not leave something as important as your tax affairs in the hands of inexperienced people. UK TAX REFUND SL, registered agents with HMRC, will ensure every detail is taken into account. They will also assist, if need be, to complete and submit your annual self-assessment tax return to HMRC. Consult with UK TAX REFUND SL, who is able to deal with your UK tax affairs on your behalf with HMRC and make dealing between both countries easier and hassle free.

The service that UK TAX REFUND SL provides not only recovers any overpaid tax, but as part of the process ensures that your Spanish tax obligations are met and all your UK tax affairs are in order.

MANAGING TAX: Ensure your affairs are in order in Spain and the UK. you future disputes with the tax office.

Finally, if you are a tax resident in Spain and lost a loved one in the UK and are due to inherit from the deceased please ask for advice. You may have to complete the inheritance tax forms and account for inheritance tax in Spain.

Are you a British expat, living in Spain and have not got your tax affairs in order either in Spain or with the UK? You must take into consideration that once you begin to submit an annual income tax return in Spain, you should also put your tax affairs in order with HMRC

Make practical plans Sally Trotman www.sallytrotman.com Sally Trotman is a qualified Counsellor who works with Astrology, Numerology and the Tarot. Each month she will deliver the forecast as an intuitive tool to aid increased self awareness.

WELCOME to your Astrological Forecast!

Every month I write about how the Astrology, Numerology and Tarot for the month ahead effect you, helping you to move forward confidently with your plans for the month ahead.

Below is your forecast for September 2016: Astrology: Make practical plans!

Sun in Virgo: Until September 22 the sun is ruled by the earthy sign of Virgo. This sign is industrious, productive, and pays attention to detail. Make practical plans this month to complete projects. Mercury, the sign of communication, is retrograde (moving backwards) for most of this month. This is the ideal time to clear out clutter, learn ways to develop a calmer mind, and focus on your well-being to increase your energy levels and stay healthy as we come into the darker autumn months.

Two new moons: The last time two new moons occurred in one month was in January 2014. Cast your mind back to that time. Did any important events take place for you during

that month? On Thursday September 1 the new moon is in the sign of Virgo and sets the tone for a productive month ahead. The month ends with the new moon in Libra on September 30, bringing a feeling of fun, lightness and unity. The second new moon is called a black moon. To make the most of the new beginnings offered this month, consider what is most important to you and write a list of three goals you would like to achieve over the coming year. Then take inspired action every day and watch your dreams unfold...

Full moon in Pisces: It’s a good time to talk about dreams with the full moon in the watery sign of Pisces on September 16. What’s your heart’s desire? Now’s the time to dig deep and remember what’s really important to you. Use your imagination to visualise living your heart’s desire and take a step today toward fulfilling this dream. Creating new beginnings takes discipline and perservence. Begin a daily routine, perhaps with a little meditation and reading every morning to prepare your mind for the day ahead. With just a bit more focus each day on what you really want to achieve you will soon find you are living your heart’s desire!

Numerology: Endings and new beginnings The number nine: The total of 2016 when added together gives us the number nine, mak-

ing this month particularly powerful for change. What do you need to let go of to make space for the new? As humans, we resist change, even when it’s good for us! In numerology nine is the last number of the cycle before returning back to the begining. What have you learned this year? What is working for you? Does anything feel like an uphill struggle? Whilst persistence pays sometimes knowing when to let go and move on can be liberating too. Take some time out to listen to the whispers of your soul this month. As September draws to a close, know that you will feel clearer and more confident about where you are heading.

The Tarot: Are you a Hermit?

The Hermit: The hermit card in the Tarot deck is depicted by a man holding a lantern. He is unable to see very far ahead of him, but has enough light to see where he is now. This is a reminder to stay present. Centre yourself in gratitude as you acknowledge all the wonderful things in your life right now! There is so much to be grateful for, and by making this your focus, you will attract more abundance. The present is a gift so embrace it, wherever you are. Trust that you are exactly where you need to be, learning new lessons every day

to stock up your spiritual tool box. When you remember, pause and focus on your breath. From this point of stillness continue your day and know that all is well in your world.

Brexit: postreferendum boom or gloom?

THE ROCK: Is joint sovereignty the future for Gibraltar?

Nora Johnson

Breaking Views Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist.

To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

WITH Team GB hauling back all that hardware from Rio, the positive mood sweeping the country is a real shot in the arm. Things do feel better, but it’s far too early to call all those pre-referendum Brexit scare stories fake. We haven’t left the EU yet, and it’ll take years before we know if the downsides materialise or not.

Personally, I hope we see a new refreshed nation, but it’s naive to say everything is rosy at this early stage.

What we have now is a ‘confidence’ blip from the markets, but not even Mystic Meg knows the future impact of quantitative easing, interest rate cuts, exchange rate falls, the FTSE bubble and all the rest of it, let alone the outcome of the exit negotiations and inevitable changes in our trade relationships.

Once the Brexit horse trading starts, it’ll be a 27-dimensional nightmare (and there is naff all chance of access to the single market wit h o u t a c c e p t i n g s o me free d o m o f movement). Spain will demand joint sovereignty over Gibraltar, Denmark reciprocal

fishing access and the eastern European states a financial contribution to the EU in return for any ‘privileged’ single market access.

We may not even be able to join the European Free Trade Area because Norway is nervous about allowing a big country like Britain into the organisation.

As for world trade, distant countries are only interested in extensive trade links with vast economies like the USA or China and most trade primarily with their neighbours.

The main challenges are still to come and some gloom will surely occur in the short and medium terms. However, we are where we are.

The plan must surely now be how to deal with the future in the best possible way.

This could involve leaving the single market and getting control of borders at one end of the scale, or at the other, a second referendum, legal judgements and a vote in Parliament that Article 50 will never be invoked (as Remainers demand).

M y g u e s s is it’ll be s ome thing in-be tween. What do you think?

OPINION & COMMENT

1 - 7 September 2016 / Costa del Sol

www.euroweeklynews.com

Designed to confuse?

Colin Bird A weekly look Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-thewall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.

I DON’T know about you, but I reached a point of total confusion some time ago about what we should and should not eat and drink, how much exercise we should take and a host of other do’s and don’ts that seem to change with the seasons.

I adopted an attitude years ago of: ‘If in doubt think natural.’

Butter or low fat spread?

Have we been scoffing eggs for thousands of years without any noticeable ill effects, or is it only now that higher cholesterol suddenly becomes a problem?

They are natural foods, so I am a lover and an unrepentant consumer of both.

And as long as I go out and do a bit of walking or swimming for an hour or so each day, then you can stuff

ALCOHOL GUIDELINES: Recommend a maximum of 14 units per week. your gym and the discomfort of screaming muscles and protesting joints.

How can that be good for you?

We were told quite recently that a maximum of 14 units of alcohol per

week was the recommendation, but no alcohol at all is ideal. Well there’s nothing ideal about that in my book.

But I would put money on the fact that in the not too distant future some in-

dividual in a white lab coat, worn corduroy trousers and scuffed shoes, will peer over his thick lenses and declare that this is a load of old cobblers, and the new recommendation is...

I am not one of these

conspiracy theorists who reckon that the Americans never landed on the moon, or that aliens have lived among us for years, although when you look at Trump and Clinton, it does make you think.

But I have to say that it appears as if the constant reports of new scientific studies – which always seem to contradict earlier scientific studies – are part of a deliberate plan to mislead, confuse and scare to death the good people of the UK. And apart from any other consideration, who pays for this research? The government? Big pharmaceuticals? Certainly vested interests of one kind or another.

The saying that knowledge is power is true.

Therefore when the perceived knowledge of the day is force fed to us by these so called experts, then that information is also power.

How much more powerful then is mis-information…

Faults discovered with iPhone 6 John Smith Random thoughts...

AFTER years of ‘ruling the mobile phone roost,’ Apple has seen some quite negative reports concerning its latest products and an overall drop in sales.

There seem to be two new serious faults with the iPhone 6, one of which is thought to have been caused by a shadowy Israeli company which has hacked into the programmes running the phones. This allows anyone who knows the secret (which is possibly available at a price) to be able to constantly monitor everything that the phone does.

The problem only came to light when Ahmed Mansoor a human rights supporter who had been imprisoned in the United Arab Emirates received a text message offering him information on abuses in the prisons of that country but it contained a link at the bottom of the message which he did not recognise.

DOUBLE FAULT: Two serious faults have been detected on the iPhone 6.

Being paranoid is sometimes quite useful and he contacted Citizen Lab, a voluntary organisation that tries to investigate matters of concern on the internet and they in turn contacted Lookout a smartphone security company. Both groups agreed that this was a highly sophisticated spyware package and alerted Apple.

Apple have acknowledged this is

a problem and have speedily produced a ‘patch’ to counter the hack and this is available as part of the latest iOS download 9.3.5 which iPhone users can obtain by visiting the iPhone’s settings, clicking general and choosing security update.

In fairness to Apple, this is a very complicated hack which it is suggested is more likely to have been purchased for significant sums by

OUR VIEW

Results of an earthquake.

The world is dangerous AS we go through life doing what we can for ourselves and our families, events such as the floods in the USA and the earthquakes in Italy and Myanmar only go to reinforce the fact that the world is a precarious place. We have to be grateful when we escape these terrible tragedies whilst ensuring that we retain sufficient humanity to care a little for those who suffer.

When you look around the world, there is so much misery and pain, caused by both natural disasters and the actions of man that it is comforting to realise that here in the south of Spain we are largely cocooned against the worst problems that others face.

Certainly very few people can honestly claim to be completely trouble free but so many of the trials that we have to face could be considered trivial compared to those affecting refugee children, those driven from their homes by war and the sadly still inhumane treatment that different castes and colours receive.

It is in many ways too easy to retreat into our own comfortable shell and to ignore those who are suffering but sometimes one needs to remember that it is often only a trick of birth which allows one person to live a comfortable existence whilst another is condemned to a short life of pain and suffering.

None of us can change the world but those of us who do have plenty should, from time to time, remember how lucky they are and rather than complain about little irritations, just do at least one thing to try to make other people’s lives a little more bearable.

governments and used by their security agencies to monitor the activities and conversations of those they consider to be potential enemies.

The second glitch does however appear be an inherent design fault and could strike any iPhone 6 or 6 plus at any time. Awarded the dubious title of ‘Touch Disease’ the problem attacks the screen of the phone, with a flickering bar that appears at the top of the device’s screen that doesn’t respond to a user ’s touch. Over time the bar grows until the whole screen is rendered unusable.

At the moment there has been relatively few examples of this problem reported but if it is an inherent fault then it could literally affect millions of phones and because it is the screen that is affected, it is currently unlikely that the problem could be resolved without the phone being sent away for specialist repair.

OPINION & COMMENT

LEGALLY SPEAKING

When to stop AS part of the series, we answer some common driving questions and keep you updated on the latest driving and road news 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.

PULL OVER: Official vehicles will display flashing red and blue lights.

THERE are often reports of scams of drivers being flagged down to stop by people pretending to be police officers, but how do you actually know if the Guardia Civil want to pull you over?

On their official YouTube channel, the Gu a r d i a C i v i l h a v e p u b lis h ed a video explaining the actions that patrols will take in order to stop a vehicle on the roadside.

The video states that along with their duties, “the Guardia Civil is tasked with controlling road traffic to ensure road safety and to prevent the commission of offences which endanger road users and provide assistance if necessary.”

When an official vehicle wants you to stop it will display flashing red lights

in addition to the blue lights. These red lights mean that you must stop your vehicle by safely manoeuvring to the right hand side of the road.

You must stop your vehicle in a place where it does not cause an increased risk to other road users. If this is not possible, continue driving until you are able stop in a safe place. The police patrol vehicle will then stop behind your car.

All occupants of your vehicle must remain inside the vehicle. The police officer will approach you to notify the reason why you have been stopped.

Once the officers have finished, they will assist you in joining the main flow of traffic and getting back on the road.

Can a ‘club’ be exempted?

WE have 89 apartments in our Community. We have a club/bar in the grounds which is owned by 48 bonded members of the Community. This club has problems making money. The members want the Community to exempt the club from Community fees in exchange for giving non-members the right to use the club. This is a split because not all nonmembers want to use the club. The club say that they cannot afford the fees. My question is: can the club force the Community to exempt them from paying the fees? If they took it to an AGM, do the members vote on that decision? We would like to know if the club has a case or not.

C.O. (Costa Blanca)

NO, the club cannot ‘force’ the Community to make their premises exempt from Community fees.

And, yes, any such important measure must be

voted at the AGM. By the numbers you cite, it seems

the club members have a majority of the votes, so they would probably get their exemption approved.

Quite a few Communities have similar arrangements.

Blowing my stack Mike Senker

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I WAS a smoker... a serious smoker. Not one of your namby pamby social ones. You know the ones who never have their own packet because they only smoke when they’re out having a drink or at a party or dinner with you basically, just always smoking other people’s!

No, I was a SMOKER, 40 a day and I often had one lit and another in the ashtray I’d forgotten about. I was a good smoker. My smoke never annoyed anybody, or so I thought! The smell on my clothes I didn’t notice. But now I don’t smoke at all. Nothing.

Nada. I gave it up and it was very simple.

I don’t recommend my method as it’s a bit drastic! I had two heart attacks and tried to have a ciggy in between which didn’t work. I didn’t have the strength to drag on it. Anyway after five weeks in hospital and a triple bypass I decided not to smoke anymore. No brainer really.

But now I’m one of those non-smokers of the worst kind, so don’t smoke around me full stop. For years that’s been fine because most countries now have strict no smoking

policies. Then all of a sudden people started vaping. If you don’t know what that is, it’s a contraption you stick in your mouth filled with some fluidy oily chemicals, usually from China, which are heated by an element then blown out like a nuclear cloud over the person sitting next to them.

Now, as you know, I’m not one to complain but I don’t give a monkeys about your need to substitute your stinking ciggy habit with this now so called healthier option... don’t blow it over me OK? I don’t want something you have taken down your grubby ex-smoker’s lungs then blown out of your mouth in my face and when I tell you don’t huff and tut OK? It’s not so bad if you have an occasional puff, like once an hour, but if you insist on dragging on it continuously all night and sit there like the Royal Scotsman trying to pull a hundred carriage I’m going to tell you to stop.

Don’t you realise it’s anti-social and rude to be sitting next to someone and blowing this crap all over them? I tried many times to give up smoking. I read so many books about giving up smoking I finally gave up reading!

Last week I asked for feedback about my grumps and I was amazed and very pleased with the response. Thank you all so much. If anyone else wants to email their thoughts it’s mikesenker@gmail.com.

Vultures are morally indefensible CHANCELLOR, you will be aware that the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union by a small majority. A direct consequence of this vote produced a torrent of share selling, wiping billions of pounds off the market and, more importantly, reducing the value of the pound.

During the night of the vote on June 23, I read that many currency dealers stayed behind, at work, to ‘play the market’ and, when early indications suggested a remain victory was imminent, the value of sterling rose from $1.46 to $1.50. Many of these traders left for home believing that they would make a fortune.

When they returned to work the next day, to their horror, many had made huge losses as the pound’s value plummeted overnight. I read about some instances where they used their client’s money to make these ‘bets.’

On a personal note, as a pensioner living in Spain, the value of my, and my partner’s, pensions has plummeted by over 15 per cent - and our financial plight is getting worse by the day.

Chancellor, I therefore propose that we make the trading of currencies illegal. It is unethical and morally indefensible. In a supposed civilised and democratic society, we cannot allow a few ‘men at computer terminals’ who have only self-interest at heart and with only profit as their motive, to dictate and decide the financial worth of a country.

Currently they can, and do, target, and intentionally destabilise a country’s financial worth based upon nothing other than self-interest. A new way needs to be found which removes these financial vultures from controlling a country’s financial viability.

Peter, by email

Bank query YOU recently published letters from readers regarding banks freezing joint accounts in the event of death and highlighting that now this is not the case, that in fact things have changed and it is dependent upon the bank and the manager.

Has the situation changed? If banks are no longer able to do this, can anyone give more information on when this changed or reference to legislation from the government?

I feel that if your readers had this they would be on very solid ground at this upsetting time, and make the situation a lot smoother.

Disgusting dog owners

THEY say Spain is a dog loving nation and that may well be true, but dog owners should give the same feeling and respect to people who do not own dogs.

Every single day we have to walk a slalom course along the pavement to avoid pile after pile of dog excrement and when walking in the dark it’s even more strenuous, which takes the simple pleasure out of having a pleasant evening stroll.

Disgusting dog owners do not care less that the filthy unhygienic dog excrement they leave on the public street and do not pick up after their pets, can and often does get onto people’s shoes and clothing and eventually into their homes.

Dog faeces contains germs and bacteria that can

Can anyone help?

Real heroes LEAPY, being a regular reader of your column I thought I would email you about something that really got up my nose!

Last Monday morning on GMBTV, they had some of the Olympic winners on. Ok, but when they started calling them heroes that really got up my nose. I emailed them and requested that they stop abusing the word They are not heroes. Heroes are people that risk their lives saving oth-

cause serious illnesses and diseases to humans, especially anyone already in poor health, including sickness and diarrhoea, roundworm, tapeworm, hookworm and can also cause blindness especially to children. Germs and bacteria are also easily passed on to other dogs just as easily, especially when owners allow their dogs to sniff around excrement already on the pavement.

I’ve read about ‘Doggy Parks’ being built at the request of dog owners who then allow them to become a stinking dog toilet and don’t care about residents who live close by. I despair at the thought of ‘Doggy Beaches.’ Yuck...

Do the right thing dog owners and pick up after your dog and don’t leave it for other people to tread in.

Waste disposal WE have been a part of the expat community in Arboleas since last year and benefited by what Spain has

to offer - mainly the weather.

Notwithstanding this we are at a loss to understand the logic of the work recently carried out locally, primarily Los Carrascos. We have had new roads and drainage laid, through the village understandably, not however in the side roads. They replaced an existing road for the benefit of a ‘cycle’ track and a ‘footpath’ by a few hundred metres, at the end of which you land up on the old existing uneven pot-holed road anyway! They have even built a new ‘Disposal/Recycling Plant’ to save dumping rubbish on the hillside.

We find it incomprehensible that the local authority find it more of a priority to spend money and use their

resources on work, which frankly is not as much of a priority to the local residents as providing a mains connected sewage system.

The houses in our vicinity have been here for more than 15 years, and the authority have been taking money from the residents for all that time, yet they still cannot allocate funds to connect the main drains sewage system to the entire village.

So the residents can dispose of their rubbish waste in the nice newly built ‘Disposal Site’ but cannot dispose of their sewage waste!

In the article ‘Message for the People’ (Euro Weekly August 4 - 10) the mayor is quoted as saying “along with his councillors works hard every day to resolve any problems, prioritise solutions for the benefit of all residents and fulfil his obligations as mayor.”

I’m sure Los Carrascos is not the only area without mains sewage, so perhaps for those other areas as well, ‘mains drainage’ should now become a priority…

J & B, Los Carrascos

Burkini ban THIS is barbaric, degrading. If a woman wants to cover her flesh to avoid creepy men staring at her, forcing her to expose herself is bodily abuse. And since when was what we wear any of the police’s business?

It sounds horrific to think that in the 1960s in Benidorm women were arrested for wearing bikinis, but this is worse. One minute we’re told that if we wear short skirts then we’re ‘asking for’ unwanted male attention; next, women who cover themselves to avoid it are forced to undress at gunpoint and in public.

If I sat on the beach in jeans and a hoodie, would I be forced to strip in front of men and strangers? What about if I went swimming in a neoprene diving suit and swimming cap?

What sort of dictatorship bans women from wearing what they want, unless it’s actually indecent?

YOUR STARS LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Because you are intent on pleasing others, you may be cramping your own style. This is something that you have in abundance and it should be used. You may be feeling that a business idea does not stand a chance and, in any case, you don’t want to risk any money. .

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) A juicy bit of gossip comes your way this week and it is hard to keep it quiet. You must do so, however, because there is a lot riding on it. When people trust you, they are saying much about the relationship. In this particular case, the person may well be able to progress you socially at some time in the future.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) The rather more serious side of your nature needs to take over this week. Someone in a higher position is keeping an eye on you. This may be because they are considering you for promotion, so be on your best behaviour. It is important at the moment to stick to any rules and regulations or your reputation (and pocket) could be hit.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Letting life get too tame will eventually irritate you no end. Your social life needs a boost which, in turn, helps romance blossom. It is easy to be a bit lazy when things are going smoothly but we all need constant stretching. With an active mind such as yours, the important thing is to keep making progress. This may be in a physical way or in some kind of business.

VIRGO

(August 24 - September 23)

By showing confidence in your own way of doing things, you inspire others. This is chiefly because you are at last finding a balance between work and home life. In the past you may have felt stressed and equated that with working - not so now.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A chance remark alluding to your past brings a flashback. This helps you to see a current situation more clearly. We all make mistakes and follow the same old patterns, but this time you are being forewarned. It is in your experience and power to make a different choice of action this time.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Someone will most certainly come to the rescue when your situation changes. Well, they will, won'’t they? Have Plan B ready just in case. In continuing to think in the short term you do yourself no favours.

Think now of a ‘10-year plan’ and be determined to reach your goal. Bit by bit and day by day you will progress. You don’t have to rush ahead and get stressed.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) An exciting project is bubbling away in your mind but may need financial backing.

Take advice from a professional or someone with successful experience in these matters. Remember that any idea has

to grow, so consider what you need to see happen in five years’ time. There is little time for romance and you may decide to put that on hold because of complications.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) During your social encounters this week you meet someone who offers to help.

That is great, but do ask yourself if you would be prepared to give anything in return.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Some exciting suggestions make you think twice about a current business matter.

However, it may not be necessary to change anything but to consider the new suggestion as a sort of ‘add on’ to a current project.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) The moment that you have been waiting for has arrived. A colleague has made a decision that is long overdue. Perhaps you are a little shocked and speechless because there has been such a time lag, but this will pass.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) You work hard for your money. Make it worthwhile by trying to hold on to as much of it as possible. Someone who is charming and plausible may try to get you involved in a fast-track money making scheme.

By B A Paris JACK and Grace seem to be the perfect couple.

They live in a beautiful hous e, he’s a handsome, well-mannered attorney who has ne ver los t a cas e and earns a lot of money.

She is charming and elegant.

He appears to adore his wife and never leaves her side.

But are they really that close or is something going on? Is this really the perfect marriage?

Gripping from start to end, Paris ’s debut novel tells the tale of how things are not always what they seem in a horrifying, yet fascinating read that you w o n’t be able to put down. books@euroweeklynews.com

FALSE friends, rather than those people who smile to your face and stab you in the back, are words which can trip you up in foreign languages by sounding similar to a word in your own but meaning something completely different.

This can often lead to some rather amusing mistakes a lot of us have either committed while trying to speak Spanish or heard when our neighbours have tried to practise their English with us. These are the 10 that tickled us the most: 1. Embarazado/a This one often catches unsuspecting Brits out in the chemists or at the doctors when they want to mutter to the man in the white coat about an embarrassing problem or complaint and end up confessing to being pregnant. The correct term if you wish to express embarrassment would be to say you are ‘avergonzado/a’.

2. Constipado/a Don’t look so put out when Pedro from next door moans to you that he’s so ‘constipado’ he can’t breathe: he’s actually telling you about his common cold. If you do happen to be a bit, erm, blocked up and need to explain, the word you’re looking for in Spanish is ‘estreñido/a’.

3. Bombero Sadly, due to the ever-increasing amount of fires Spain suffers in the summer, most of us now know that bomberos are firemen. However, if you were shocked by this the first time you heard it, rest assured you wouldn’t have been the first to think the bombers were coming and run for cover.

4. Exito Everyone knows the way to turn a word into Spanish is to stick an ‘o’ on

bang into, and has absolutely nothing to do with choking. If you want to say someone is choking the word you need is ‘ahogando.’

5. Sopa In a similar way, sticking an ‘a’ on the end won’t help very much if you need to buy some soap from the village shop. The tender is bound to think you’re very strange if you tell them you want some soup to wash your hands in!

8. Nudo It may sound rude but a ‘nudo’ is actually a knot. So, rather than telling someone the people across the road were skinny dipping you could, if you’re not careful, explain that they were tying themselves in knots before jumping into the swimming pool!

6. Carpeta Carpets aren’t all that practical in Spain and you’ll rarely see wall to wall ones, although rugs are often dragged out in the winter. If you do want your home carpeted, however, avoid demanding ‘carpetas’ for all your floors unless you want some strange looks. After all, who would want to cover their floor with folders?

7. Chocar This one is important. In an emergency you need to make yourself understood. ‘Chocar’ means crash or

Gibraltar Honours

Tobacco smugglers

Could be part of the UK

THE Convent is inviting State Honour nominations for The Queen’s Birthday Honours List 2017. State Honours are given in recognition of paid or unpaid meritorious achievement and/or service which has been of outstanding benefit to Gibraltar and its people. Nominations should be submitted no later than October 10. More information on the Convent’s website.

CUSTOMS officers were attacked with stones after chasing a group of tobacco smugglers off Western Beach on Friday August 26. They were patrolling Gibraltar waters when they saw a small boat which had a number of packages in it. When they tried to intercept it, it fled into Spanish waters. The officers alerted the Guardia Civil who recovered the boat and tobacco.

IN an interview with the Gibraltar Chronicle, Daniel Feetham leader of the Gibraltar Social Democrats (GSD) in opposition has indicated if the Spanish were successful in having Gibraltar excluded from having access to the single market, then one option would be for Gibraltar to become part of the United Kingdom rather than an Overseas Territory as it is now.

ALTHOUGH there are no young people dressed in traditional Flamenco costumes, the annual Gibraltar Fair which ran from August 20 to 28 does to a great extent follow the Spanish model, with a fairground, food a n d d r i n k a n d musical attractions.

With a combination of local talent including a t r i b u t e t o t h e Eurovision Song Contest as well as a visit from Katrina Leskanich who as part of Katrina and the Waves won the contes t i n 1 9 9 7 wi t h Love Shine a Light, there was something for everyone and was enjoyed by all.

Spain is transplant leader SPAIN has become a world leader in organ transplantation thanks to the hard work of the National Transplant Organisation and solidarity of the population.

According to the World Transplant Registry, managed by the National Transplant Organisation (ONT), in collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO), Spain has the highest rate of organ transplants with 40.2 donors per million people in the population.

Throughout the country there is an average of 13 transplants being carried out daily. Last year nearly 3,000 kidney transplants were carried out, along with 1,162 liver and 299 hearts.

The first half of 2016, according to provisional data from the ONT, reflects an increase of 11 per cent in the total number of donors and the number of heart-beating

donors, who have been medically classed as brain dead,

has increased by 58 per cent.

With this increase, it is ex-

pected that by the end of the year the rate will be 42-43

donors per million people in the population.

In Europe the figures on organ donation and transplantation remain stable compared to 2014. In 2015, the rate of donation of the 28 countries that form the EU increased slightly to an average 20.8 donors per million people (19.8 in 2014). The number of transplants in the EU amounted to 32,707, compared with 31,881 in the previous year.

As for the waiting list, data from the Global Registry estimates that there are 56,504 Europeans waiting for a transplant of some sort.

In the USA, organ donation has increased to 28.2 donors per million people and Australia has increased to 18.1 donors per million people.

Last year there was a total of 119,873 transplanted organs in the world, representing an increase of 1.65 per cent compared to 2014.

Avoid heatstroke

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte.

HEATSTROKE is the most serious form of heat injury and is considered a medical emergency. It often occurs as a progression from milder heat-related illnesses such as heat cramps, heat syncope (fainting), and heat exhaustion. But it can strike even if you have no previous signs of heat injury.

Heatstroke results from prolonged exposure to high temperatures, usually in combination with dehydration, which leads to failure of the body’s temperature control system.

The medical definition of heatstroke is having a core body temperature greater than 105 degrees Fahrenheit, with complications involving the central nervous system that occur after exposure to high temperatures.

What can I do to avoid heatstroke?

In summer you must take into account that temperatures and sunshine hours increase considerably. You should avoid exposing yourself directly to solar radiation, but if you do you should be properly protected and hydrated, especially when taking part in any form of physical exercise.

What effects can heatstroke have on my health?

Heatstroke can provoke anything from light dehydration and dizziness to serious injuries such as convulsions or cardiac arrest which can certainly put people’s lives in danger.

In the event that someone suffers heatstroke, what should people do?

The first thing that should happen is that someone informs the

emergency services or alternatively takes the victim to the nearest hospital.

Their conscience and pulse must be checked and they should be hydrated by any means possible so as to cool the body down. All these actions must be done as soon as possible.

How long does it take to recover from heatstroke?

If progress is good and the symptoms aren’t serious, the person should recover within a few hours.

What long-term consequences can sun exposure have?

Long-term sun exposure can have very serious consequences, with the appearance of wounds, especially on the skin. If you have the slight suspicion that the wound could be serious, please make an appointment to go and see a dermatologist.

If you have any questions for Dr Perez Belmonte, please send them to: jefemedico@helicopterossanitarios.com The Coast’s Home GP service - wherever you are - at home - in the office - in the car - on the golf course your GP will get to see you any time, anywhere.

Zika on the rise THE number of cases diagnosed in Spain of the Zika virus now amounts to 237, eight more than last week, and 38 of them are pregnant women.

According to the Ministry of Health, all pregnant women are being subjected to thorough medical monitoring and although the clinical picture of this virus is mild, in the case of pregnant women there is belief that Zika can cause microcephaly; a neurological disorder and smallness of the head.

In early May it was detected in Catalonia, the first case in Spain of microcephaly of a foetus whose mother was infected of the virus. In June, a second case of cerebral malformation was reported as a result of Zika.

Of the total diagnosed cases, 91 were reported in Catalonia; 60 in Madrid; 15 in Aragon; 14 in Castilla y Leon; 10 in Galicia, nine in Valencia; seven in Andalusia; six in La Rioja; six in the Basque Country; five in Navarra; five in the Balearic Islands; four in the Canary Islands; two in Asturias; two in Murcia and one in Castilla-La Mancha.

Be popular and stay healthy GET out and improve your social life to improve your health. That’s the message from new research which found that being popular is actually good for our health.

Researchers at the Harvard University, USA, said being unpopular could be as bad for your heart as smoking as their study found that levels of a protein instrumental in heart attacks and strokes, were higher in people who were socially isolated.

The researchers said it wasn’t the number of friends a person thought they had, but the number of people who classed them as a friend “What matters is how others see us not how we see them.”

Specsavers Opticas recommend yearly eye tests for the over 70s AS we age, our eyes change and most people require glasses in later years. Some changes are normal and nothing to worry about, but older eyes are also more susceptible to certain issues which, if left undiagnosed and untreated, can lead to irreversible damage and sometimes total vision loss. For this reason, Specsavers Opticas advise all people over 70 should have an eye test at least once a year.

Amrik Sappal, Store Director of Specsavers Opticas in Fuengirola explains “It’s easy to forget about getting tested and only react when your vision is bad. However, when you reach your 70s a number of conditions can threaten your vision if not caught early and few have noticeable symptoms before reaching an advanced stage. We’re urging those over 70 to schedule a regular eye test and make sure their optician is offering a thorough check including checking the back of the eye.”

You should get a thorough eye test that provides professional, comprehensive checks of your eyes and vision. Your optician will answer any questions and address any specific problems you may be having. If necessary, a referral will be made for further examination to an Ophthalmologist. Specsavers Opticas have brought UK standard eye tests to Spain and offer 25 per cent discount on glasses from their 89€ range or above for the over 50s.

Common problems for the over 70s These are the issues you should watch out for when you reach your 70s.

• Cataracts: The lens becomes opaque, blurring vision and even leading to loss of sight if left untreated.

Early on, the condition may cause near-sightedness and the reduction in perception of blue colours.

• Glaucoma: A build-up of fluid within the eye can increase pressure, which in turn damages the optic nerve.

The loss of visual field often

occurs gradually and slowly, and may be recognised by the sufferer only when at an advanced stage.

This loss of vision can never be recovered, so prompt diagnosis is essential.

• Macular degeneration: In older people, the macula – the centre of the retina which is used for detailed vision – thins and occasionally bleeds. This can lead to distortion of, or even the loss of, central vision.

The sufferer may also have trouble discerning colours. Peripheral vision remains unaffected, but central vision loss

is serious, so early diagnosis and treatment is vital.

All these problems can be easily diagnosed with an eye test, so Specsavers Opticas urges all people over 70 to make sure they go for an eye test on an annual basis to make sure their eyes are healthy and any problems can be treated before causing vision loss.

Specsavers in Fuengirola and Marbella offer UK standard free eye tests with all glasses purchased. Visit www.specsavers.es to find your nearest store and make an appointment.

Backpack or back pain as children return to school

By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com SCHOOL starts again soon and packing that backpack with all the stuff they ‘just can’t live without’ plus what their teachers need them to have... it can suddenly be heavy bag.

Style is everything: A backpack is always the best style as they distribute the load across the strong back and shoulder muscles. If you can convince them to use a hip strap as well, that’s even better!

Choosing a backpack: • Two straps are better than one! One strap can cause

neck, shoulder and upper back pain.

• Thick, padded straps.

• Choose the right size, bigger backpacks are a tempting space to fill up so keep it small!!

• Wheels are optional, while these can seem a great way to move heavy bags remember that schools often have steps, and these bags can be awkward to lift.

• Keep it light, make sure the bag is as light as possible before you put anything into it!

• A padded back, this makes it more comfortable and encourages the use of both straps.

Packing the backpack: In 1999 Italian researchers found that 35 per cent of Italian school children carry over 30 per cent of their body

The recommendations for children are 10-15 per cent bodyweight.

Child’s Weight 20kg 35kg 45kg 57kg 70kg weight. The US Army trains with backpacks of 30 per cent body weight!

The recommendations for children are 10-15 per cent bodyweight.

• Pack the heaviest objects so they are at the bottom of the backpack and close to the body.

• Use the pockets! Distribute the load evenly and make sure it won’t shift during movement.

• Tighten the straps evenly until the bag sits five to 10cm

Backpack Weight 2 – 3kg 3.5 – 5kg 4.5 – 6.5kg 5.7 – 8kg 7 – 10.5kg below the waist.

• Clear out the junk regularly!

• Listen if they complain of pain or discomfort.

Solar electricity: the best investment available for homeowners today!

ELECTRICITY prices have increased by over 10 per cent each year in Spain during the past five years and the cost is likely to increase by similar amounts over the next few years. Here, Fidelma Matthews, a director from renewable energy company Solar in Spain answers the main questions that people tend to ask about solar electricity systems: • I have heard and read a lot about solar electricity being illegal in Spain. Is this true?

No it’s not. Solar in Spain are legally installing solar electricity systems on and off grid to residential homes and businesses every day here in Spain.

• Do I need permission from Iberdrola /Endesa to install a system in my property?

Yes you do. This is very important and must not be overlooked. Permissions need to be obtained before the installation takes place. Every grid-connected electricity system needs authorisation from both the utility company and the Spanish Government. Currently there are fines of up to €30,000 for unauthorised installations.

Solar in Spain completes all the paperwork for its clients and is one of the few companies that actually ensures that their installations comply fully with the law.

• Do I have to pay tax if I install a solar electricity system?

No, not for systems smaller 10kW. Last November the government introduced a new law regarding solar electricity. Systems that are smaller than 10kW will not be subject to any tax. This is great news for home owners as a system under this size will easily produce all the electricity needs for most homes.

• Are these the same types of systems that many people are installing in the UKand all over Europe?

Yes, and you will start saving and reducing your carbon footprint as soon as it is installed and switched on.

• What is the life expectancy of a solar grid-connected electricity system?

A well designed solar system will last for 25-30 years. Both the solar panels and the inverters used by Solar in Spain are guaranteed for 25 years.

• How does a solar grid-connected system work?

You remain connected to your electricity supplier (Iberdrola/Endesa) and all the electricity your solar electricity system produces is used by your home instead of the expensive supply from your electricity company. Solar electricity systems capture the sun's energy using photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made from layers of semi-conducting material, usually silicon. When light shines on the cell it creates an electric field. The PV modules generate Direct Current (DC) - sending it to an inverter.

The inverter transforms the electricity from DC to AC (Alternating Current) for ordinary household needs.

• What happens to the electricity that is produced but not used?

Endesa/Iberdrola will now buy back any solar electricity that is sent back to the grid. Alternatively, you can install batteries to store the electricity and then use the electricity during the night.

• Does solar energy only work on sunny days?

No. These cells donot need direct sunshine to work – they can still generate electricity on cloudy days. The

stronger the sunshine, the more electricity is produced.

• Are solar electricity systems expensive?

A solar electricity system will pay for itself within 5-6 years. The annual Return on Investment is 12% which is a very much higher return than you will receive from any other secure investment. In addition, every time Iberdrola increase their prices in the future your solar investment improves!

• I'm not sure that I have a suitable area or roof to install solar panels?

There are lots of new and innovative panel installation systems that will allow you to use car ports, flat roofs and difficult roofs.

We will perform a site survey and come up with an unobtrusive solution for you.

• Will the same solar system heat my hot water?

No, but it can subsidise your existing imersion heater or we can also supply a solar solution for your hot water supply.

• Where can I find out more information?

Solar in Spain has been in business in Spainfor 15 years. They installsolar electricity, solar pool heating, solar water heating, solar ventilation systems & wood pellet heating systems.

Their office and showroom is in the Guadalmina Commercial Centre in San Pedro de Alcántara (directly above the SuperSol supermarket).

They are open from 09.30 to 13.30, Monday to Friday and would be delighted to answer any questions.

They can also be contacted on 96 285 4488 or by sending an email to info@solarinspain.com Their website is: www.solarinspain.com

A large crowd attended this prestigious event, which not only saw some exciting polo matches, but gave the ladies a chance to show off their latest fashions whilst the various sponsors’ drink marquees saw very few spare seats.

Age Concern shop reopens AFTER being closed for part of the summer, the Age Concern shop in Calle Zaragoza, Estepona will be opening its doors once again on Thursday September 1 and early birds will have their pick of all of the new clothes and bric-abrac that have been collected, the sale of which helps to keep the charity operating.

Age Concern, Estepona and Manilva, is a registered charity that gives information, advice and help to older people in the community. Volunteers working in the field are supported by funds raised through a variety of means, one of

which is the charity shop but the key word is volunteers as without them the charity could not continue to function.

If you have some spare time and would like to help out do contact Age concern by calling 951 318 234 or by e-mail to tonyaldous55@yahoo.co. uk.

For older people who require help or advice Age Concern operates a telephone service called Lifeline. This gives the individual a direct point of contact with the charity. The telephone number is 650 163 928 but is not for emergencies..

SOCIAL SCENE

By John Smith AS it is four months since the raid by Seprona (the animal arm of the Guardia Civil), on the Triple A charity, Euro Weekly News contacted charity spokesperson Lily van Tongeren to see whether there was any news that we could share with our readers, many of whom have been supporters of the animal charity over the years.

Lily responded almost immediately with a carefully prepared statement which is reproduced below.

“We at Triple A would like to inform of the present situation at Triple A rescue centre.

On April 11 2016, the blackest day in the history of Triple A, Seprona came to the shelter following up a denouncement from our own solicitor.

The shelter was closed for one day but since then continues to function as normal, with all personnel present, all the animals are fine and are all in good health, adoptions here in Spain and in Germany, Finland, Holland and a few other countries continue as before.

We have been strongly advised by our new solicitors not to make any comments as this can affect the legal proceedings that are under way.

However, we would like to say that the Society is confident that the outcome of this matter will be favourable to Triple A. But we have to say that the most upsetting matter that has affected our reputation and deeply hurt the members, volunteers, sympathisers and all their families, was a shocking and highly questionable video which depicted a totally wrong and untrue picture, it was leaked and broadcast in prime time to three of the most im-

portant national TV stations in Spain and massively followed by the social media.

Consequently, many questions have arisen by the public, and enormous financial and

moral damage has been done to Triple A, therefore, we would like to ask you, now more than ever to continue your valuable support, to stand behind us, defend us, and not to make any judgement until the matter has been finalised in court.

After all everyone knows that we have been operating for 25 years without question, for the good of the abandoned and abused animals of Marbella and San Pedro.”

We at EWN will continue to keep in contact with the charity in the knowledge that it will take some considerable length of time before the matter is resolved finally but are pleased to know that abandoned and needy animals are still being cared for and that funds continue to help support the actions of the charity and its band of dedicated volunteers.

Mary Page, President of animal charity told Euro Weekly News “ADANA Estepona stands with all at Triple A. You have our continued trust and confidence.”

Estepona movie fantasy

By John Smith THE 17th International Fantasy Film week returns to Estepona accompanied by exhibitions, concerts and public talks.

The exhibition, entitled ‘Time Travellers’ will be open at the Casa de la Tejerinas in the Plaza de las Flores and has some very interesting scale models and audio visual presentations, including a reproduction of the DeLorean car used in the various Back to the Future movies, a scale model of the Time Machine used in the 1960 Rod Taylor film and a reproduction of the Tardis, much beloved police box of Timelord Dr Who. This is just a taste of what can be seen at the exhibition which is open 9am to 1.30pm and 5pm to 8pm on Tuesdays to Fridays and 10am to 2pm on Saturdays until September 15.

The first film presentation will take place on September 3 at the Padre Manuel Cultural

Centre in Calle San Fernando starting at 8pm with a discussion between film director and Oscar winner Jose Luis Garci and the poet Luis Alberto de Cuenca on the world of Sherlock Holmes and this will be followed by a screening of the 2012 film Holmes and Watson,

Madrid Days directed by Garci.

On Sunday September 4 there will be a concert of film and TV music by the Acanthus Orchestra followed by a showing of the Time Machine starring Rod Taylor in Spanish language and the original title ‘El tiempo entre costuras.’

Running from September 5 to 9 with free admission, subject to capacity there will be eight films from Argentina, China, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Spain and the USA competing with such diverse titles as ‘The Rotten Link,’ and ‘The Anthem of the Heart.’

Golf competition for ACEPSA THE Rotary Club of MarbellaGuadalmina which is well-respected locally for all that it does to raise funds for charity is organising its Inaugural Golf Competition on September 24 at the Magna Golf Club in Nueva Andalucia.

There is to be a limit of just 40 competitors who will pay €50 to play nine holes in teams of four with a shotgun start in a Texas Scramble and buggies will be available at additional cost. In addition to the competition where the first

three teams will receive prizes donated

by Unos Distribuciones, there will be a golf clinic demonstration by two members of the PGA. Registration opens at 11am, the clinic will take place at 11.30am and the competition starts at noon with prizes awarded at 3pm. Participants who will need to advise their handicaps will be welcome to register individually, in pairs or in teams of four.

As the Magna Café has offered dis-

counts on this day, supporters might find it fun to visit to see the golf and to enjoy the fare at the Café.

Advance registration is recommended by calling Alan Knight on 647 284 642 or e-mailing him at alanknigh@ gmail.com.

All funds raised from the day will be donated to ACEPSA a local charity which helps those with mental disorders through their special facility ‘Los Olivares de Marbella.’

Gardening Corner

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

NEARING my 80th birthday and having written almost 2000 gardening articles for various publications in Spain and the UK, some three hundred for the Euro Weekly News, this is my last in order to make time for other activities in my later active years.

I hope the weekly articles, whether focussed on gardening design strategies, dayto-day maintenance, solving basic problems or what to do in a major crisis, have been of help to you here in Spain.

Spain has so changed since the mid-70s when I had many holidays in undeveloped La Carihuela and before blocks of apartments with few balcony flowers marred the sea and on land views.

Unfortunately my four original books, written then with Clodagh, are no longer available to help you as our publisher and

A time of change SEPTEMBER is an important time for our gardens, vegetal plots and plants. It marks a change of cycle and requires particular care in some gardening aspects.

While maintaining watering, especially in southern, drier areas, it is time to start weeding and preparing the vegetal garden for the autumn. Remember the debris will make the base of a superb organic compost.

The time is right to plant autumn-winter veg and herbs such as Swiss chard, chicory, garlic, borage, onions, parsnips, endives, peas, beans, lettuce, turnips, parsley, chervil, radishes and carrots.

In the garden it’s a good time to start thinking about planting conifers and evergreens and plant pots and flower beds should be prepared and primed ready to plant autumn bulbs.

This is also the right moment to replant worse for wear areas of lawns and weed and fertilise all over to prepare the grass for the cold weather.

their distributors closed a few years ago.

Internet stores like Amazon Books and The Book Depository don’t always have residual new or second hand copies available. However later booklets published through Create Space, Amazon Books selfpublishing subsidiary, are always available and also from other internet book stores.

‘Living well from our garden Mediterranean style’ will be of interest to try to improve understanding of what can be grown and consumed that’s beneficial for holistic wellness. It includes a gastronomic self-audit to help assess whether you remain a fast food addict or on the way to eating well.

‘How to use less water in the garden’ is a brain dumping of things I’ve used or seen on my travels to reduce water required to maintain an interesting garden. It looks at varying water needs of 30 types of gardens and has a list of drought resistant plants.

One plant I should add is the Siberian succulent Rhodiola Rosea which helped Russian athletes gain Olympic gold medals legitimately and me to improve my strength

and stamina. I’ll try to germinate and grow them in a cool spot in the garden.

Gardening is a great hobby as there’s always something new to try and ideas often come from unexpected sources. On my 80th birthday I’ll have had a personal garden for 75 years. The first in 1942 was started on a pile of earth created when an unexploded bomb was dug out of our garden.

Today’s garden has been stimulated from earlier gardens in England, Holland, Spain and from my world travels.

Remember, great gardens don’t start in garden centres but with creative preplanning and consideration of a number of options. Where possible involve partners and he whole family in creating and evaluating features for new and existing gardens.

My last gardening words are now recorded, so on publication day, September 1, I can go off for my early morning walk in the mountains without having to think about a topic for next week’s article. © Dick Handscombe September 2016

Rainy day barbecues HOWEVER bad the weather gets, don’t bring your barbecue indoors; carbon monoxide poisoning is much, much worse than wet feet.

If you don’t have an overhanging roof to keep things dry but well ventilated, invest in a large umbrella that will cover both you and the grill; a sturdy parasol will do the job, and free up your hands to turn the food and drink the beer.

Microchips for peace of mind DOGGY DATA: The microchip stores useful information.

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

RESPONSIBLE pet owners are using microchip to ensure that their pets, if ever lost and turned into the pound, will be returned as quickly as possible. In many areas in Spain it is also now a legal requirement.

Responsible breeders are also increasing use of these tools to ensure the puppies they sell will be identified and appropriate action taken if they ever get lost or turned over to a shelter or pound.

The microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is inserted between the shoulder blades with a syringe like instrument. It contains no batteries or chemicals and has an active life of about 25 years.

The age at which this can be done varies with the size and development of the dog, as a certain amount of muscle tissue is necessary. With larger breeds, it can be done by seven to nine weeks of age, when most puppies go to their new homes. Most vets now have the capacity

to insert microchips.

When scanned, the microchip will reveal a code that is unique to the dog. By consulting the appropriate chip registry database, relevant information – including dog’s owner, breeder, emergency contact, even health problems and food requirements – can be obtained.

Implanting the chip and registering in-

formation is included in the cost and dog clubs often offer group discounts.

Advantanges of microchipping dog include that they can’t get lost or stolen (like a collar), it can’t be worn off or removed (like a tattoo) and it quickly leads to information about the dog and this information can be readily changed.

The disadvantages of microchips are that they can’t be detected or read without a scanner and unfortunately many animal shelters and societies still don’t have one.

Fine art for Fido BRITISH designer Dominic Wilcox’s caninecentric art exhibition, created with dogs in mind, ran from August 19-20 in London.

The show was part of a campaign aimed at encouraging people to spend more time with their pets, and included artwork painted in a pooch-friendly colour scheme, plus large interactive pieces such as an enormous dog bowl filled with balls and an ‘open car window simulator’ which involved a fan wafting scents such as meat and old shoes around.

The dogs who attended were said to have approved of the show, with plenty of wagging tails spotted, and their enthusiasm is a credit to the painstaking research that went into the event.

The answer is, yes we do!

For example, each year Barney the Border collie who live s on the D e von a nd Cornwall borders needs sitters at the end of the summer for two to four months while his owners travel.

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

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 l o v e to f i n d a c o s y s p o t to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive.

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

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

Lightning bolt

By Matthew Elliott THE fastest accelerating street-legal car you can buy on the market is now an electric vehicle. Roaring from 060mph in just 2.5 seconds courtesy of a bigger 100kWh battery means that only the non-mass production LaFerrari and Porsche Spyder accelerate faster than the new Tesla Model S P100D. The P100D is also the first electric vehicle capable of exceeding 300 miles on one charge and upgrades to the model, dubbed ‘Ludicrous Mode’

by Tesla, cost around €10,000 for current Model S drivers.

Silicon Valley guru and Tesla chief Elon Musk claimed that the new car was ‘faster in a straight line than when dropped out of a plane,’ and announced that a similar battery pack upgrade would soon be available in the Model X. Electric cars and hybrids are grow-

ing increasingly popular among environmentally conscious consumers and the Dutch government is now considering banning the sales of petrol or diesel fuelled cars by 2025.

The fantastically named Dr Dick Smokers says that the decision will put Holland on track to meet EU air pollution regulation targets.

The roads from hell A FUN survey of British motorists hoped to find which UK city was most despised for its driving environment.

Surprisingly London wasn’t the worst offender, with that honour going to Birmingham, largely due to its dreaded Spaghetti Junction.

The Big Smoke came second, while guest appearances on the roll call of traffic hell included Bristol, Liverpool and Cambridge.

Such first world problems as Spaghetti Junction and the M25 pale in comparison to other global driving nightmares.

In Lagos, Nigeria there are millions of drivers in one of the world’s most congested and unpredictable cities who have never even attended classes, while in Seoul, South Korea, public vehicles are allowed to completely ignore traffic signals with impunity.

Hall of shame FOLLOWING up on last week’s run down of Jeremy Clarkson’s favourite cars of 2016, the former Top Gear host turned motoring renaissance man has now published his very own catalogue of disaster, dubbed ‘The Terrible 10.’

Included in Clarkson’s personal hall of shame was the Vauxhall Astra Sri NAV, which flummoxed the verbal take-down artist who found himself at a complete loss of words to describe its utter blandness.

The Zenos E10 S made the cut for shedding doors, windows, radio, and roof from its facade, leading Clarkson to conclude that he’s seen ‘better-equipped pencils.’

Clarkson’s chief gripe with the BMW X1 xDrive25d is that is raises your hopes courtesy of the brand logo but is ultimately the sort of drive you’d be delighted with if it were a Chinese brand manufactured in India.

Nissan’s Infiniti Q30 Premium Tech is congratulated for high sales to Americans ‘too interested in food and the baby Jesus to notice they are tarted-up Datsuns’, while the Skoda Superb SE L Executive is decimated for having the soul of a

Clarkson swears never to set foot in a Hyundai i800 again in this lifetime or the next, preferring to apply sun cream to James May’s hairy back; and derides the Renault Kadjar for its unforgiveable lack of imagination.

Made in Britain CUSHTY CUSHTYCAR: CAR:The The1973 1973Jaguar Jaguar E-Type, used in Only Fools andand E-Type, used in Only Fools Horses, willwill be up auction.

Horses, be for up for auction.

Lovely jubbly ONE of the UK’s most sophisticated motoring events takes place this Saturday on September 3 at the iconic Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.

The Salon Prive boutique event will showcase all manner of supercars and historic vehicles in its 11th edition, an exclusive affair limited to invitees and Palace members.

Some of the world’s finest brands and rarest vehicles will be on display with around 80 cars gracing the premises alongside some of the motoring world’s wealthiest benefactors and collectors and most renowned engineers.

The supercars will be part of an informal impromptu competition with awards for second and third place, and then there will be an official Silverstone Auction putting some of the brightest gems under the hammer.

Chief among the dozens of attractions will be Boycie’s

1973 Jaguar E-Type used in the second episode of Only Fools and Horses, which Del Boy and Rodders promptly nicked for an hilarious night on the town.

Expected to fetch around €100,000 the E-Type is without a shadow of a doubt the most famous individual car being auctioned off, but nowhere near the most expensive.

That award will probably go to a very special Lamborghini Aventador SV Roadster which was only delivered in April and has a mere 59km on the clock. The first Lamborghini convertible to be deigned ‘Superveloce’ due to its revamped sporting nature and massive V12 naturally aspirated engine, it will raise at least €600,000.

Back to the history books and an Aston Martin DB4 Series II, the first production car that raced to 100mph in under 30 seconds, expects to sell for

around €350,000; while other impossible finds include a Ferrari 512 BBi; Porsche 911 GT3 RS; Aston Martin Vanquish S; and a genuine Porsche 939 Turbo from 1988.

At the bottom end of the scale you’ll find a fantastic Volkswagen Beetle which, at around €20,000, will cost less than the €25,000 it took to restore it a few years ago, with the revamped bugster travelling just 400 miles since then.

TOTALLY TRIUMPHANT: The historical Dolomite Sprint.

ONE million cars have been produced in Britain so far this year and exports are racing across the channel at record pace, a lucrative state of affairs for manufacturers enjoying the pound’s fall as they rake in continental cash.

It’s a solid increase on last year’s figures for this time of year and the best sevenmonth performance since 2000. New Britishbuilt cars are in hot demand across the world and more than 800,000 cars have been exported in 2016 alone.

Britain has always been a motoring worldbeater so it’ll be terrific news for anyone who feared that car production might follow the same depressing trajectory as other industries.

Crucial to the high foreign demand for British-built cars is a glorious manufacturing history that includes the likes of the Range Rover Evoque; Mini; Jaguar E-Type; McLaren P1; and of course the trusty Dolomite Sprint.

A silver Mustang please RECENT sales stats allow us to peer into the souls of the great British motoring public to see which cars and colours are the most popular this year.

On the high-performance front, the Ford Mustang was by far the most

desired, clocking up more than 2,000 sales in the first six months of the year. Also on the list are the Jaguar FType, BMW 6 Series, Porsche 911, and Porsche Cayman.

With many people upgrad-

ing as often as every 18 months it’s little wonder the second-hand market is booming. The ‘iphonification’ of the industry is seeing more and more people pay monthly contracts rather than pay directly for ownership.

The best selling second-hand car of the year

DESIRABLE DRIVE: Ford’s high-performance Mustang proved popular.

was, as always, the Ford Fiesta, which changed hands almost 60,000 times from January to June. Well behind in second was the Ford Focus sold on 40,000 occasions, while the Vauxhall Corsa, Astra and Volkswagen Golf made up the top five.

Britain’s favourite used car colour is silver, followed by black, blue, grey and red.

AS always there has been plenty of sporting action during August (the Olympics included) with more to come in September. So no one who is sportsminded, should be disappointed!

MOTORSPORT: • Nico Rosberg won last Sunday’s Belgian Grand Prix, ahead of Danny Ricciardo with championship leader by nine points, Lewis Hamilton, third.

Hamilton, in fact, started at the back of the grid after receiving a penalty because his Mercedes team used too many engine parts!

• This weekend it’s the Italian F1 Grand Prix at Monza while Silverstone stages the British MotoGP. TENNIS: • The USA Open started at Flushing Meadows on Monday with Olympic champion Andy Murray among the favourites to win the

men’s singles title.

RUGBY LEAGUE: • A Wembley crowd of 76,235 saw Hull come back from 10-0 down to beat Warrington 12-10 in last Sunday’s Challenge Cup final. Marc Sneyd’s dramatic late converted try earned Hull their first final win in 34 years.

CRICKET: • England won the first two One Day internationals against Pakistan by 44 runs and four wickets respectively, in form batsman Joe Root leading the way in both games.

The third encounter took place yesterday, the fourth is tomorrow with the fifth on Sunday. And you can see a T20 blast between the countries next Wednesday.

FOOTBALL: • Last weekend, a record Pirelli Stadium crowd of almost 7,000 saw hosts Burton Albion beat neighbours Derby County 1-0 in the first-ever league meeting between the two clubs.

• After three weeks of action, the unbeaten trio of Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United stand first, second and third in the Premiership. Huddersfield Town, Bolton Wanderers and Morecambe lead the Championship and Leagues One and Two respectively and Celtic top the SPL. • Stoke keeper Shay Given (aged 40) has become the oldest player to concede a Premiership own-goal. He actually saved a penalty taken

by Everton’s Leighton Baines only for the ball to hit a post and bounce into the net off his head.

• Claudio Ranieri has become the fifth ‘foreigner’ to register 100 Premiership wins as a manager. The others are Arsene Wenger, José Mourinho, Rafael Benitez and Gerrard Houllier.

• There are no Premiership/Championship games this weekend due to the international break when several U21 Championship and 2018 World Cup qualifiers, plus friendlies, will take place.

Sunday’s World Cup qualifiers include Czech RepublicNorthern Ireland, Malta-Scotland, Norway-Germany and Slovakia-England (Sam Allardyce’s first game as head coach) while Wales play Moldova on Monday.

• The draw for this year’s group stage of the Champions League (starting September 13) is: A: Arsenal/FC Basel/Ludogorets/Paris St Germain B: Benfica/Besiktas/Dynamo Kiev/Napoli C: Barcelona/Borussia Monchengladbach/Celtic/Manchester City D: Atletico Madrid/Bayern Munich /Rostov/PSV Eindhoven E: Bayer Leverkusen/CSKA Moscow Monaco/Spurs F: Borussia Dortmund/Legia Warsaw /Real Madrid/Sporting Lisbon G: Club Bruges/FC Copenhagen/FC Porto/Leicester City H: Dinamo Zagreb/Juventus/Lyon/Sevilla • Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will, of course, face his former club, Barcelona.

• Europa League, group games will include FeyenoordManchester Utd, Alkmaar-Dundalk, Southampton-Sparta Prague, Hapoel-Inter Milan, Ajax-Celta Vigo and Roma-Austria Vienna.

PEP GUARDIOLA: Will face former club Barcelona in the Champion’s League.

• The transfer deadline ended yesterday with several last minute deals taking place. Details next week.

ROUND-UP: • In cycling, the Vuelta n Espana continues (until September 11)... the Tour of Britain starts on Sunday... the Premiership and Pro12 Rugby Union campaigns get underway tomorrow night… and the Paralympics begin in Rio next Wednesday (without the Russians).

FOOTNOTE: Two of the

Marbella is set to welcome the biggest tennis legends of all time MARBELLA bounces back, hosting the Senior Masters cup for the first time in 10 years. It will take place between September 22 and 24 at the Hotel Puente Romano, with many legends of the sport in attendance.

The event was presented at the town hall by Mayor José Bernal; Tournament Director, Albert Costa; General Director of Puente Romano, Jorge Manzur and the tennis player Manolo Santana.

The mayor has said “It’s an honour for the city to host this amazing tournament bringing together famous tennis players like John McEnroe, Yannick Noah and Matts Wilander and modern players. It is without a doubt, a unique opportunity to enjoy the sport.”

Albert Costa thanked the town hall and the Puente Romano for their backing, citing the tournament as “a
