College head denies fraud By Simon Firth The headteacher of a bankrupt sixth form college which went bust leaving some parents claiming they are owed nearly €30,000, has pledged to return their money. The European Sixth Form College (ESFC) in Mijas Costa folded just before the start of the new academic year. Its headteacher, Debbie Campbell, has issued an exclusive statement to EWN defending her actions and saying “under no circumstances has this situation arrived due to tax fraud or embezzlement.” Ms Campbell has been accused of failing to send in the exam papers sat by GCSE and A-level students leaving some, it is claimed, with no results or grades and unable to take up university places in the UK and Spain. The EWN has been told about 12 students who have been unable to present any Alevel results. But Ms Campbell has insist-
ed the papers were sent off to UK-based examination boards although she admits they were dispatched late. “The release of these results is pending investigation which I have facilitated willingly and co-operated fully,” she says. In her statement Ms Campbell claims she has “had daily contact with the examination boards and many parents. “It is my hope that all results are released to ensure that all students that have worked hard are rewarded for their success,” she said. This situation came about, she admits, as a result of her negligence during a period of ill health and “attempting to carry on when I should have stepped
down.” But she takes full responsibility as the “late” director of ESFC, she said. The college’s financial health was undermined by a number of factors including the inability of some parents to pay the fees. “This is of course poor management; however I would like to say the ESFC was not about money but giving all the right to an education. This ethos has sadly let us all down in the end.” To read Ms Campbell’s statement in full turn to page 4.

BLUE IS THE COLOUR: The village has been smurfed by a Smurf that smurfs smurf.
Motoring malfeasants ONE of the private vehicles that has accumulated the most fines in Spain has been tracked down to Malaga Province, according to a new report.
The top 10 worst-offending cars in the country managed to rack up an astounding 1,716 separate fines between them in the last five years, with fines totalling €162,656.
By Matt Ford MALAGA Council has announced that it is designing an official tourism plan for the ‘Smurf village’ of Juzcar, a nickname received after the hamlet was painted bright blue in 2011 to celebrate the premier of the movie featuring the famous characters. Sony Pictures have once again chosen
Juzcar for the premier of the third Smurf’s film, and have pledged an impressive €300,000 in order to help boost the local economy and solidify its reputation as a tourist location. Head of the provincial council, Elias Bendodo was accompanied by mayor of Juzcar, Francisco Lozano and Sony representative, Monica Perez, as he said: “Our
goal is to consolidate the brand of Juzcar as THE Smurf village and also as a reference for tourists.” New proposals include installation of a zip line and an ‘urban adventure’ park, as well as creation of an app called ‘Smurf Gymkhana,’ with which users can unearth hidden Smurfs in the village and compete for Smurf-based prizes.

No way BRITISH tourists spend vast amounts of money in Spain seeking the sunshine. No sensible Spanish government would consider cutting-off this cashflow by charging for visas. Dave

27 members MIGHT not be up to Spain alone. All 27 would have to vote on it. Great, that precludes emergency visits for family members. If this had happened when I was in a coma I’d have been dead before my parents got here. Families will miss their expat relatives’ funerals because they can’t be held up three days. The UK would do the same in reverse, so those of us who needed to get to Britain quickly for emergencies would be stuffed. Thanks, Brexiteers. Kally
LIAM FOX: Drumming up business.
By John Smith THERE can be little doubt that the major factor which led Britain to vote to leave the European Union was the widespread fear of uncontrolled immigration, tinged with a little xenophobia with regards to external control by ‘Johnny foreigner.’ What should have been a friendly and cooperative community of likeminded Europeans who had survived two world wars has turned into a monster. Some still believe in pure federalism while others are pushing the concept of a federal army rather than looking to support NATO. Eastern European countries fluttered li k e m o t h s a r o u n d th e E U flame. Together with Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain, they were desperate to grab as much money in the way of hand-outs as they could from those economies which were better off.
DAD’S ARMY: Don’t panic Mr Mainwaring.
Only Britain could colonise half of the world and then leave the European Union because it does not like immigrants.”
Germany effectively opened the floodgates by inviting refugees and migrants to make their way into Europe and this has led even die-hard supporters of the community, such as France, considering whether they should follow Britain’s lead. The concept of Schengen (control-free borders), which Britain never joined, has flown out of the window as more and more of the
new members simply close themselves off to refugees whilst Italy and Greece have borne the brunt of new arrivals. The re a re a lot of s ound bite s coming from the British government but little concrete information. The prime minis te r s a ys “Brexit is Brexit” and we won’t move too quickly whilst the minister in charge of the Brexit negotiations told parliament that the vote showed that the British wanted to control their own destiny, which was something of a given! At least Liam Fox, the Minister in charge of ‘Making Britain Great Again,’ has made it clear there is no hope as he says industry has fallen to pieces and has grown ‘fat and lazy,’ making the nation incapable of securing lucrative post-Brexit trade deals. J us t to a dd ins ult to injury, it looks as if the EU is considering ne w le gis la tion tha t ma y forc e British nationals to have to pay online for visas if they wish to travel
to the continent when the country leaves the EU. Whether Britain will be forced to comply with the proposed regime hinges on how the Brexit negotiations pan out, whenever they finally take place. Maybe, we need to ask the Swiss for advice as they have a fairly good economy with 130 separate trade agreements with the EU and they have recently voted to make it more difficult for EU passport holders to work in that country. They decided not to join the EU generations ago and didn’t have to finalise everything within two years. All in all, it’s a bit of mess and it doe sn’t r eal l y l ook as i f anyone knows what to do. As one wag put it, “Only Britain could colonise half of the world and then leave the EU be c ause i t doesn’t l i ke i m m i grants!” Or perhaps in the words of the writers of Dad’s Army it’s either ‘Don’t panic Mr Mainwaring’ or ‘We’re all doomed!’
General election WHEN it finally comes down to invoking the UK’s departure and the subsequent stream of negative implications during negotiations I believe the City of London’s views will prevail and there will be no Brexit and possibly a general election in the next six months. Geoff
Sack Fox THERESA MAY should sack Liam Fox immediately. He’s living in the past and doesn’t understand present day business practices. He should be trumpeting worldwide that Britain’s a great place to do business, that’s his job. So what does he do? Undermines the efforts of British businesses to create jobs and increase exports with public remarks about laziness. Brian

The examinations were sent late and were located in the premises secure and sealed. They are now with th e rele v an t e x amin ation boards who have been supportive and organised. Their assistance has been in the best interest of the students and their future. The release of these results is pending investigation of which I have facilitate d w illin g ly and co-operated fully to all requirements. During this time I have had daily contact with the ex amin atio n b o ard s a nd many parents; therefore despite rumour I have not left.

Porcuna launches padron plea By Simon Firth A SENIOR councillor has called on Britons living in Marbella to sign up to the town’s padron, saying a successful surge in numbers could lead to millions in extra grant aid from the Spanish National Government. At present just under 140,000 people are officially registered, but councillor Javier Porcuna, said they must reach 150,000 to receive additional funding from the state.

lation is about 220,000, but this doubles during the summer months putting a strain on the town’s municipal services. “There is a big population of English speakers in our area, and they need information on what happens in Marbella,” said councillor Porcuna, speaking exclusively to EWN. “We want them to use our facilities, but if they join the register we can do
more things with the extra money.” As well as landmark projects, he said they wanted to see more investment in services such as rubbish collection and disposal. “There are advantages to signing the register such as discounts on some services when you buy and sell a house, IVA, and road tax. There are also discounts for those with children,” said Porcuna who heads the council’s tourism industry section and
its strategic projects unit. Turning to Brexit, and the fears for the future voiced by some Britons post the June 23 vote, he said expatriates had nothing to fear from the Spanish state. “The decision was a big surprise, but the British are our neighbours, and also residents. Brussels and London may want to fight, but intelligence will win through.” To register you can sign the padron at Marbella Town Hall.

Answering the urgent questions By Matthew Elliott PENSIONS, properties, taxes and healthcare, it only took the scratch of a pen for British voters to seal an uncertain fate for the country, but the consequences of their decision are very real, particularly for the millions of expatriates living across the EU. It is precisely this ambiguity over the future of legal and financial arrangements that inspired five British expatriates to establish a group with the seemingly simple, but infuriatingly complex mission of answering important questions that simply didn’t exist just three months ago. Initially named ‘Brexpats in Mijas,’ the group quickly garnered so much online attention from information seeking expa-
UNCERTAINTY: Expatriates need to know how their future will be affected. triates that it evolved into ‘Brexpats in Spain,’ almost overnight. They now have thousands of British nationals among their membership.
What makes ‘Brexpats in Spain’ such a potent organisation is that it is not comprised of experts, nor does it pretend to be. The apolitical and not-
for-profit group, was set up by ordinary expatriates searching for answers to extraordinary questions. Will they be able to continue living and working in
Spain? What exactly will happen to pension schemes? To properties? To healthcare provision? ‘Brexpats in Spain’ have informed the Euro Weekly News that they intend to pressurise the British parliament for immediate answers to these questions and are embarking on an extensive campaign across the Costa del Sol to give all expatriates the opportunity to make their voice heard. With the firm backing of Mijas Mayor, Juan Carlos Maldonado, ‘Brexpats in Spain’ have already held several well attended public meetings and will be holding many more in the weeks and months to come. From September 9, the group opened a weekly drop-in office manned by volunteer expatriates in Fuengirola on Fridays
from 4pm to 6pm, and there will be public gatherings in Fuengirola on Monday, September 19, in Benalmadena on October 4, and in La Cala on October 13. The team is fully aware that not all expatriates are able to attend the meetings in person and will strive to visit groups of people at alternative locations at their request if it is feasible. Euro Weekly News pledges to put its full weight behind this endeavour, and is also working hard to answer the questions that matter most to our readership. Follow ‘Brexpats in Spain’ on their website www.br expats.es and contact EWN with any Brexit related questions you may have. In the coming weeks you can follow this page for new and important developments.
The UK government is clamming up over Brexit PERHAPS the main thing that has now become clear is that the British public will be kept in the dark over negotiations despite having played the pivotal role in reaching this stage. Prime Minister, Theresa May, has been pressed repeatedly on the issue in parliament recently, particularly over the question of whether a Brexit deal would include membership of the single market, and her responses have been nothing if not consistent. “The new relationship will include control of the movement of people from the EU into the UK, and it will include
the right deal for the trade in goods and services. It would not be right for me or this government to give a running commentary on negotiations.” On another occasion, she said, “It is about developing our own British model. So we will not take decisions until we are ready. We will not reveal our hand prematurely, and we will not provide a running commentary.” Brexit minister, David Davis went further, telling the House of Lords EU select committee that “may not be able to tell (parliament) everything,” even in private sessions.

Let’s examine 6 legal urban myths in Spain SPAIN is not different when it comes to ‘legal urban myths,’ statements that sound true but are legally wrong. Let’s see some of them: 1. Administrative residency and tax residency are the same, taking out your ‘residencia’ at the police station does not make you a tax resident of Spain. To be one, you need to prima facie file tax returns in this country, or if you are exempt from doing so, prove continuous residency via electricity bills, ‘empadronamiento’ certificates, and so on. 2. Infidelity is a ground for divorce, as explained in the previous article, the only ‘ground’ for divorce is to have been married for three months. End of. 3. Public nakedness is a criminal offence, unlike many other countries, walking around naked per, is not a statutory offence unless it is proven there is a sexual connotation.

Spain is not different when it comes to ‘legal urban myths.’ subject to heavy fines. The Supreme Court ruled in 2015, that nudity cannot be condoned for it affects the peaceful daily co-existence. 4. Eleven months is the limit for short term rentals, never has a legal urban myth expanded so rapid and dam-
agingly. There is no such thing as an 11-month contract that is different from say, one with a nine or 13-month term. In fact, the law in Spain states that any residential rental contract can be legally extended to three years by the tenant. Holiday lets do exist, but they are not defined by the term, but by the use of the dwelling, sporadic, non-permanent, accidental, circumstantial, are some of the words use by the courts to differentiate short term from long term or permanent. 5. Red cars cost more to insure, many people will not know it, but the car insurance industry is colour-blind. 6. Legal letters have to be replied to, it is often the case that parties to a legal dispute feel that one email or letter needs to be matched with a reply, thus causing endless threads of communications. No such thing is true in Spain, unless these letters come from the courts or from Government offices.

ARRESTED MAN: Taken into police custody. By John Smith AFTER almost a year of investigation, the Guardia Civil announced on September 14, that officers had arrested the person who they believe was responsible for the murder of 30-year-old Irishman Gary Hutch, in Mijas on September 24, 2015. Reportedly, the shooting of Mr Hutch started a major feud between two Irish crim-
inal organisations which were allegedly involved in drugs and arms trafficking, as well as money laundering. According to the Guardia Civil press release, this murder triggered the violent death of another seven people in Ireland, and most recently Calvia, in Mallorca. The authorities revealed that the man arrested has the initials JQ, and a number of items including vehicles, weapons, and mo-
bile phones were removed from premises in Marbella, along with a large amount of cash. The investigators, who operated from the offices of the Guardia Civil in Malaga, worked closely with the Irish Garda (both organisations sent officers to the other’s country), and Europol, and they are confident that this arrest solves the third and last murder, that occurred in Mijas in 2015.

AYCO: Creating jobs.
Group pledges €60m to Byblos THE Spanish real estate group Ayco, is to invest 60 million euros in a hotel which once welcomed the likes of the Rolling Stones, Lady Diana and Julio Iglesias, but has been closed for the last six years. The five-star luxury Byblos hotel will be completed under plans that could see at least 200 jobs created, according to the mayor of Mijas, Juan Carlos Maldonado. Unveiling the redevelopment plans, the mayor said Ayco’s investment represented not only a boost to jobs and the high-end tourism market, but it was important in ‘breaking out of the seasonal nature of tourism.’ President and CEO of Ayco, Francisco Garcia Beato, said at the presentation of the project in Mijas, that the hotel represented an icon of tourism on the Costa del Sol.
By Eleanor Hawkins TWO Malaga men, Antonio Cabrera and David Pozo, who were trying to drive all the way to Seoul in a 1993 Volkswagen Vento, saw their trip cut short when the Chinese authorities refused to let them into the country. With 4,000 kilometres to go, they reached the border between Kazakhstan and China to be told they were missing the most important piece of paper. Disappointed, the two men returned to Osh, the closest village, to try to arrange a flight home, but were told they couldn’t leave the country by air having driven in their own vehicle. Eventual-
ly, with the help of a translator and notary, they gave the car to one of the receptionists at the hotel who had been particularly helpful. Seven days earlier than expected, having driven almost 10,500 kilometres, they were surprised how little trouble they had had with the car, not even a puncture. “It was a once in a lifetime trip,” the two men said of their experience.

Sent up the river By Matt Ford WORRYING details regarding the state of the Rio Guadalhorce have emerged this week, as local sources reported that wastewater from as many as 100,000 people per day, continues to flow directly into Malaga Province’s major river. Other than Nerja, which remains the only coastal town to pump domestic effluent into the sea without treatment, the Guadalhorce thus represents a priority for new treatment plants. Toxic waste enters the river as far upstream as Villanueva del Trabuco, near its source, and the problem continues right down to its mouth, which houses a nature reserve. Livestock including cows, horses, and goats, are also permitted to transverse the river in various places, and their waste also contributes to the problem. Two major installations that would deal with waste from Coin, Alora, and Pizarra, and Alhaurin el Grande and Cartama, respectively, have been earmarked for years, but the Junta de Andalucia has currently placed the projects on the back burner while they seek cheaper options. The European Union’s deadline of ze-

Where are the houses? MORE t han 8,000 hol i day r ent al homes have been registered in Malaga Province since the new regulations came into effect on May 10, yet if the authorities’ calculations are to be believed, thousands of owners have yet to show their faces. Data released by the Junta de Andalucia regional government’s Tourism and Culture department, revealed that of the more than 8,000 requests to register, more than 4,000 homes have now met the requirements and been given their code number. However, a st udy by t he Mal aga Tourism Department before the new rules came into effect, estimated the number of holiday rentals advertised on the Costa del Sol at 26,847, after investigating popular rental websites, such as Airbnb, Homeaway, Miumba, Windu, and similar sites. So far, Marbella has seen the most apartments and villas registered as ‘property for tourist use’, listing 693 homes with capacity for 4,229 people. At the other end of the scale, Torremolinos, which receives 40 per cent of the coast’s tourist-related income, has registered just 197 homes with space for 866 people.

Policeman saves the day SEBASTIAN RAMOS, a National Police officer from San Roque posted in La Linea de la Concepcion, saved the day on Friday, September 9, with his quick reaction upon spotting a swimmer in trouble. The policeman, who happens to have worked as a lifeguard in the past, was looking down from the top of the hill above the Haciencia beach when he saw a beach umbrella carried out to sea by the wind. As he watched, the owner swam out to retrieve it, but was dragged about 150 metres by the currents and couldn’t get back to the shore. Although the man was a bundle of nerves, as was his wife who Ramos had to persuade not to try and swim out herself to help, the brave officer managed to pull him back to safety and neither of them suffered injuries worse than aching legs from their efforts.

Smash and grab thieves THIEVES smashed the window of a car and grabbed several bags before fleeing not knowing one of them contained a four-year-old cat. Krise Elfie said she was horrified to return to the car and find all her bags had been taken after she had stopped at the Super Sol in Guadalmina. “They grabbed as many items as they could in just a few minutes but they didn’t know one of them contained the cat,” she said. Along with her partner, Ms Elfie is offering a “substantial reward” for the return of their cat, Puschel. The couple, who divide their time between Spain and Hamburg in Germany, had just parked the hired Renault Megane when the thieves struck at about 8pm on September 6. “The police told us this happens often, but it’s really terrible,” said Ms Elfie who has lived in Spain for eight years. “The thieves took our passports and about €5,000 as well, but we would really like to get Puschel back.” She has pleaded with anyone who finds the cat or anyone who may have information to contact her on email on marbeinvest@t-online.de.

Oak Land Furniture sign up with EWN! OAK LAND FURNITURE are opening in Spain shortly, and while their signs went up on their first Spanish store, their first actual ‘sign up’ was with ourselves the EWN! We caught up with Managing Director Steve Day at the new store this week and he explained why: “It’s taken one-and-a-half years to secure a store site here in Spain for various reasons but in that period it was clearly obvious that the leading media to use across Spain was the EWN. Naturally we deliver our furniture across the whole of Spain and the EWN has six fantastic editions so it was a no brainer and easiest decision to make! “A quick meeting with the newspaper’s owner and sales director Steven Euesden secured a long term future working relationship between Oak Land Furniture and the EWN, to where our latest offerings each week will be advertised, as well as our national website of course which is now live at www.oaklandfurniturespain.co m and already taking a good flow of orders from customers residing here in Spain.” The first actual store in Spain is based in San Pedro de Alcantara on the outskirts of Marbella and is in the final stages of store

Dario Poli returns after inspiring trip to palace By John Smith AS reported in Euro Weekly News 1625, the well-known local composer and artist, Dario Poli, was invited to compose a special anthem for the inaugural Gala of the Peace, Justice, and Security Foundation at the Peace Palace in the Hague. Having spent three hectic days in Holland, he has now returned to Marbella and has contacted EWN to say what a wonderful and inspiring time he had, and he was especially proud when his creation ‘Ever Changing World’ (music by Dario Poli, lyrics by David Mairs and production by David Redston), was finally premiered in front of an invited audience in the Palace. Amongst the many celebrities attending, there were also a number of people who shared their experiences of war and deprivation, which left the en-

After watching the thoroughly professional actress Sharon Stone make an amazing speech during the gala, he was very impressed when she conducted a special auction to raise funds for the Foundation, which she achieved with ease. Dario then later had a chance to meet the actress informally, and was struck by how humble and gentle she was, with no pretence at all of being a Hollywood star.

Modernising under ground AS development along the Costa del Sol went into overdrive at the end of the last century due to the tourism and real estate booms, coastal towns grew inland at an incredible pace, changing the face of the area forever. However, the fact that nobody realised at the time that underground infrastructure needed to be developed too has, over recent years, led to unbelievable situations such as flooding, waste water leaks on central streets, and sewage leaking out to sea and onto the beaches. Marbella was just one example of this and the council has, since 2012, been carrying out the titanic task of working down below to catch up. Experts at Hidralia water company all agree that, although between 600 and 800 repairs or improvements per year have been done since the project began, it will take decades to get all the sewage and drainage up to speed. At the moment, workers are in the La Represa stream tunnel, replacing pipes which had disintegrated and increasing drain capacity. This will not only avoid waste waters ending up on Venus-La Bajadilla beach, but should also put an end to frequent flooding of the Puente Malaga area when it rains. So far, Hidralia has reported that this year, for the first time, the beach wasn’t closed due to contamination during summer so they must be doing something right.

Do you have a mortgage in Spain? IF you do, then perhaps you have a Ground Clause or ‘clausula suelo,’ and you have been paying extra in your monthly payments for years that could amount to thousands of euros. During the Spanish real estate bubble, banks gave mortgages to practically anyone, Spaniards or foreigners. But tucked away between dozens of pages of legal jargon there was mostly likely a ground clause included. What is a Ground Clause? It is a clause in which some Spanish banks have fooled their customers by telling them that their loans are charged at variable interest rates, when really they have been charged a higher minimum interest rate. For example, the bank tells you that your mortgage will have a variable rate that will be revised annually, adding 1 per cent to the Euribor base rate. In the UK a similar rate could be based on Libor, but British lenders impose a minimum rate of 3.5 per cent, which could mean that you are overpaying by 2.34 per cent in 2016 alone. What is the legal situation with regard to the Ground Clause? Currently a Spanish case from the Supreme Court (and many others from lower courts) on the May 9, 2013, has declared ground clauses void.
Despacho Jurado Grana Abogados E-Mail: juradograna@icamalaga.org Web: www.juradogranaabogados.com Must they return to you what you paid in excess? The Supreme Court of Spain says the overpayments made since May 2013 must be returned, but some lower courts are expressing their disagreement with this sentence. If you are interested in finding out if you have been subjected to the clause, and if you are paying more, we just need copies of the following documents: - Copy of mortgage deeds. - An updated mortgage statement from start of contract. You can ask for a free appointment in order to get a valuation of your case, you won’t pay solicitor fees until you get your money back, get a sentence, or we eliminate your ground clause.

Brits detained for domestic violence
TORREMOLINOS Council has been analysing the results of the project to pedestrianise the town centre, and has reported the experience has so far been a positive one. Deputy Mayor Maribel Tocon reported that, rather than the chaos forecast by some for the summer season
particularly, traffic levels and public satisfaction had proved the opposite. Traffic to Plaza Costa del Sol and part of Avenida Palma de Mallorca, was redirected as of November 28, 2015, and since then, there have been 7 per cent fewer accidents, and almost 35 per cent more opening licences for businesses registered in the area, Tocon stated.
TWO British men were arrested for domestic violence in the space of just a few hours in the early hours of Friday, September 9. Both incidents occurred in Mijas, the first in a hotel in the Mijas Golf complex, where a mother and her young daughter fled their room to seek help in reception. As police arrived they could see that both husband and wife were drunk, and the woman was sporting a ‘large’ black eye. The second case took place in the Riviera neighbourhood when a second call from a woman claiming to be scared for her life, was received. Two patrol cars were dispatched to a residential address where a second intoxicated husband was picked up for a night in the cells.

The numbe r of ve hic le s pa s s ing through was measured between August 12 and 29 and a total of 35,575 vehicles counted. The busiest time was on August 13, with 1,539 vehicles per hour, per lane, heading towards Benalmadena. “The DGT traffic authority considers up to 1,500 vehicles as fluid traffic, meaning we can say the project is viable,” the deputy mayor stressed.
THE National Police is investigating two stabbings which happened on the Costa del Sol within a 24-hour period. The first attack was on a 26-year-old man in San Pedro, he was approached by three men, one asked for a cigarette, then demanded he handed over his bag at knifepoint, he gave them the bag and tried to run, but was stabbed in the back leaving a 4.5cm deep wound. The second attack happened the next day outside a beach bar in Marbella. Police reported that a bouncer received a large wound to his back, caused by a Stanley knife but luckily no internal organs were affected.

A BABY orangutan has been born at the Bioparc Fuengirola for just the second time in 15 years. The female youngster came into the world on Thursday, September 8, when her inexperienced mother, Suli, gave birth for the first time.
2 baby orangutans born in the park in 15 years. A team of keepers and biologists from the zoo have been maintaining a close eye on proceedings via a series of cameras in the primates’ enclosure. Orangutans devote more time to their young than any of their relatives, bar humans, with juveniles remaining with their parents for an average of seven years. They rarely produce more offspring during this period, unlike chimpanzees and gorillas, for example.
MOTHER AND BABY: Both doing well. The Bornean orangutan is among the more iconic of the larger primates, and is in extreme danger of extinction in its native tropical forests. Its natural habitats are routinely subjected to illegal log-
ging, and slash and burn agriculture, driving thousands on one of the world’s most biodiverse islands, to the brink. The animals also face a threat from poachers, who are estimated to account for 2,000-
4,000 orangutans each year. Bioparc Fuengirola has been collaborating with the Borneo Nature Foundation since 2013 in order to improve both in-situ and ex-situ conservation efforts for the species.

Safe passage to Africa
SPANISH PORTS: Busier than ever this summer.

Sanz thanked both “the spirit of co-operation of the Moroccan authorities,” and the “good work” developed by the institutions and agencies working on the ferry crossings in Andalucia.
The Region’s ports absorb 96 per cent of all passengers and vehicles leaving and returning from their countries of origin to Spain. Involve d in this ye a r ’s summer operation were more tha n 7,000 troops from the security forces, 74 interpreters and social workers, and 300 volunteers from the Red Cross to deal with any health and social issues.

SOCIALIST mayors and representatives of provincial councils across Andalucia run by PSOE have agreed to
launch a campaign to persuade the central government to allow them to spend their surplus funds on creating em-
ployment and providing public services. To achieve this, the central government would have to modify laws regulating spending, which the PSOE leaders all agreed to demand during a party meeting in Seron, Almeria, last week. Malaga Provincial Council PSOE spokesman and regional Municipal Policies delegate for PSOE Francisco Conejo said current legislation goes against councils which manage to stay under budget by refusing to allow them to put their surplus to good use. “We’re not talking about letting councils splash out and waste money, quite the opposite: what we want is for the institutions which manage to tighten belts and save money to be allowed to use that surplus to provide better services for their people, a possibility the PP is blocking,” Conejo complained.

OLD FOUNTAIN: Has been uncovered during works. By Matt Ford MARBELLA Public Works councillor, Blanca Fernandez, and her culture counterpart, Gema Midon, have announced that an old fountain has been uncovered during work to install a new sanitation device on Avenida Nabeul, close to Plaza Puente Malaga. The water dispenser was
functional until the latter half of the 20th century, when it was partially demolished in order to cover the Arroyo de la Represa stream, leaving the base in place before it was unearthed during the current project. Experts have already performed an archaeological and topographical survey of the site in order to obtain as much information as possible regarding
the remains, which may shed new light on the contemporary history of the city. The results of the survey suggest that in situ preservation of the fountain is likely to be the best option, and the council is to explore ways to cover the structure in such a way it can be conserved. The fountain retains a sentimental value to many older Marbella residents.

Little Geranium continues to bloom By John Smith LESS than 18 months after master chef Steven Saunders and his partner Michele opened the Little Geranium restaurant in the heart of La Cala de Mijas, their gourmet restaurant has risen to number three in the best restaurants in the area, according to reviews on TripAdvisor. Many chefs would be pleased with this result after having to establish a whole new clientele not only in a new town, but in a new country. But this isn’t quite good enough for former Michelin star holder Steven, who opines that he had promised Michele that they would be number one by the time they got married and that is just around the corner! The happy couple have
been partners for some time now, but although engaged even before coming to Spain they agreed that they needed to concentrate on the restaurant and make sure that it was a success before entering into the formal ceremony of marriage. Clearly, they were successful and the ‘Little Geranium’ is busy all of the time, attracting customers from all over Spain, as well of plenty of expatriates who all leave glowing reviews about the restaurant which changes its menu on a monthly basis. On Monday, September 19, Michele and Steven will be married in front of a small number of family and close friends, at the El Oceano Hotel just along the coast, and those privileged few will enjoy spe-
cially prepared Lobster, Beef Wellington and a secret c h o c o l a t e dessert, washed down with a selection of French and Spanish wines as well as ‘Porn Star Martinis.’ Whilst you won’t be able to attend the wedding lunch, or later dinner, you can sample some of innovative, and indeed delicious food at the ‘Little Geranium,’ and help the couple to reach the number one spot in La Cala, and who knows, a future Michelin star.

Fight for equality THE Junta de Andalucia regional government will continue doing its best to block unfair decisions which aim to hinder equal rights in education, regional president Susana Diaz has pledged during a plenary control session. Diaz, who slipped in a barbed comment blaming left-wing parties, including Izquierda Unida, for the fact that the LOMCE education reform law has not been shelved as they failed to vote Pedro Sanchez in as Spanish PM back in March, said her government would continue putting as many barriers as possible in place to hinder the reform. However, parliamentary spokesman for IULV-CA, Antonio Maillo, has accused the Junta of a “merely rhetorical resistance,” and complained that the Education Department failed to take measures to reduce class sizes and thus improve state-funded schooling in the region when a lower demand for places was detected earlier this year. All parties, Diaz concluded, need to work towards a pact to put schooling at the centre of political actions in Andalucia to avoid a backward law being brought into effect.

AFRICAN MIGRANTS: More and more people are having to be rescued.
Safety on sandy strips WHILE there are various opinions on the reasons behind it, the one thing which is clear is that there is a major flood of African migrants setting sail on dinghies from the coasts of Morocco and Algeria this month. While some, including those on African soil working with NGOs, claim it is all down to the good weather at the moment and argue there are no more migrants than usual along
the coasts, others are certain more are risking their lives at sea having realised the Moroccan authorities have let up on controls and others still say it is due to increased surveillance and stricter measures in Italy and the Balkans. What is clear, no matter what the real reasons are, is that the Spanish coasts are struggling to keep up and find somewhere to put all the new arrivals. For-
eigner’s internment centres in Almeria particularly, but also in Cadiz, Malaga and Granada, are full to brimming as more and more people are rescued. Just last week, seven crafts carrying a total of 225 people desperate to enter Europe left the African coast in 24 hours, while coastguards have rescued more than 400 people from the waters off Almeria coasts in just a week.

Search dogs really can Fountains be a man’s best friend of youth By Gemma Elvins-Quinn A TEAM of firefighters from Malaga visited the Costa Blanca as part of a dog training search and rescue exercise. The event was staged at the old quarry in Cox to train specialists and dogs on the rescue of people buried by disasters. The simulation saw a person trapped in a mock demolition with dogs trying to find them, working by the scents left on the stones. The training given used the ‘Arcon’ method, one endorsed by the United Nations, and is commonly used to search for survivors of earthquakes. Fifteen volunteers from the Ecos association, which organised the exercise in Cox, also travelled to Ecuador to help in the relief effort following the earthquake in April this year.

An investment of 162,000 euros has transformed an area of waste ground into a new public space, with ‘dry and wet’ childrens’ play areas, plus a number of seats and benches for weary parents to catch a break. The park will be closed at night to prevent damage to the special water features which inspire its name. There are 340 metres of these, with various fountains, jets, and other features arranged in such a way to make them interactive and fun for children. In addition, there are public toilets on site, while the careful planting of cork oak trees brings a local flavour to the area. Martin said, “We are very happy because the children can now make use of this original park which strengthens our bid to revitalise the core of Las Lagunas.”

POPULAR NOTES: The €100 and $100 bills.
Fake euros HUGE numbers of counterfeit euros, dollars and pesos have been seized in Columbia in an operation between the Spanish National Police, US Secret Service and Columbian Police which has resulted in the arrest of seven men and the closure of a sophisticated printing operation in Bogota. Following various meetings between the National Police of Columbia and Spain it became apparent that a clandestine organisation was producing high quality fake currency and a great deal of it was being flown to Spain in the baggage of supposed holidaymakers. A specialist in fake currency
associated with the Criminal Investigation Branch of the Bank of Spain was sent by the National Police to Bogota in July of this year to join a 50man task force which included agents assigned by the US Secret Service. Having identified potential addresses for the production of the high value fake bank notes (mostly €100 and $100), the task force arrested seven people, found two printing presses, hologram affixing machinery, computers containing designs for euros and dollars and a total of €1 million in €50, €100 and €500 notes and $1.2 million in $100 bills.
FOLLOWING the ‘roasting’ that Sports Direct’s owner Mike Ashley received in parliament with regards to the way in which staff were treated and paid, he has been on something of a charm offensive in the run up to the AGM. Unfortunately for him it doesn’t seem to have worked and independent shareholders voted to reject the re-appointment of current chairman Keith Hellawell. Mr Ashley is still the majority shareholder in the company and has asked for time to fix all of the problems, and if he can’t, then it will be time for him to leave.

Spain will now no longer be represented in that organisation.

Parcel collection IN an interesting team up between the Spanish post office (Correos), perhaps not best known for its speed of delivery and national petrol giant Repsol, they have announced that by the end of this year, purchasers from certain internet companies will be able to visit one of some 500 nominated petrol stations to pick up their purchases. This reflects a number of similar agreements made with local grocery stores in the UK and will no doubt assist the post office to retain some of its parcel delivery business.

By John Smith IN what is a significant reversal following the fall in value of sterling, a British company, Micro Focus, which has just made its debut in the FTSE 100, has made a huge investment in merging with the software division of Silicon Valley giant Hewlett-Packard. The executive chairman of Micro Focus Kevin Loosemore was aware that HP was looking to continue to rationalise its business and approached the American company in February this year to discuss a way in which it could take over the running of that division. Even with the apparent ‘panic’ following the Brexit vote did not divert him from his plan and it has just been announced that the two groups will merge to form an $8.8 billion (€7.8 billion) company which will trade under the Micro Focus name out of the UK although HP will own 50.1 per cent of the company and will receive a total of $2.5 billion (€2.2 billion) in cash from the British firm. This is a major step for the company which employs 4,500 people and has 20,000 customers worldwide as it brings in a further 50,000 customers from HP as well as the business of former UK software company Autonomy which was sold to HP in a disastrous deal which saw three quarters of the companies value written down following the acquisition. According to Mr Loosemore, apart from an on-

This latest arrangement is attractive to HP as it has been active in trying to concentrate on what it considers to be its core business which is the production of computers and printers, so this deal will hopefully ensure that it sees decent profits without having to worry about managing the business and immediately after the deal was announced, shares in Micro Focus shot up by more than 20 per cent,
valuing the company at over £5 billion (€6 billion). The merged company is now a major player in the software world and whilst it is unlikely to challenge Microsoft which is really aiming at a different market, it does mean that the UK can boast that it has one of the biggest software groups in the world.

Marbella new holiday destination for Chinese By John Smith IN the same way that French company Club Med promoted all inclusive holidays in specially constructed ‘villages’ in exotic parts of the world, so the Chinese, recognising that their new middle class are desperate to travel to Europe but worried about the language and the way of life, are reversing the process and considering opening their own Chinese friendly hotels. Giant investment firm Dalian Wanda owned by Wang Jianlin who has taken a particular interest in commercial property in Europe in general and in particular Spain where he purchased amongst other investments, the Edificio España in Madrid from Santander for an estimated €265 million. Although having discovered that he could not renovate it and turn it into a luxury hotel he is now in the process of disposing of it. Not discouraged with this problem, he now has his eye in the Costa del Sol and representatives were sent earlier this year to Benahavis to discuss investment opportunities
WANG JIANLIN: Owner of giant investment firm Dalian Wanda. and he has now sent the general director of his hotel and resorts division to Marbella to discuss the opportunities that might exist.
The general area offers a good range of high quality hotels as well as still having land available for development which in turn would
boost local employment. Such a visit has been warmly welcomed as in 2015 the conglomerate handled the travel and hotel
arrangements for 40 million Chinese tourists and travellers so even a small percentage of that business would give a boost to the local economy. What appeals to the newly affluent Chinese traveller is the coast with its sun, sea and sailing plus the number of golf courses as well as some very impressive and upmarket shopping centres and eateries. Initial discussions have centred on the availability of existing properties but all parties must have an eye on the establishment of specific Chinese friendly enclaves and the creation of a new holiday destination for the group which continues to expand its operation throughout the world by the acquisition and construction of luxury hotels. Should this possibility become reality, then there will be an additional fillip for Malaga airport as new and additional flights to and from China would have to be introduced whilst other towns within the province would be encouraged to negotiate with the group in order to attract their business.

Scotland facing a significant balance of payments crisis
SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE: Unlikely until spending is under control. By John Smith SOON after the result of the Brexit referendum, Nicola Sturgeon made it very clear that Scotland had voted to stay in the European Union and that unless Britain ensured it’s retention of that position, she would personally recommend that there be a second independence referendum and an eventual application by Scotland to join the EU in its own right. Much had been made of an independent Scotland becoming a member of the Union prior to the first referendum, but the overall response from Brussels was pretty lukewarm, with no promises of special treatment for Scotland because she had been a member through the United Kingdom. Towards the end of August, the First Minister still appeared ready to push forward for a second referendum and announced that she had instructed staff and SNP parliamentary and council members to go on the offensive to promote the concept of the second referendum with local meetings and a questionnaire

being sent to all members of the party. Now with the release of the latest figures showing that in the year 2015 – 2016, there was an overall deficit of just under £15 billion (€17.7 billion) in the Scottish economy she has had to back pedal somewhat. The obvious problem is that Scotland spent more than it earned, due in part to the fall in value of North Sea oil tax revenue but overall expenditure by the Scottish parliament is generally much higher per capita than in the rest of the United Kingdom. Some may argue that part of the overspend was due to the amount that Scotland contributed to the British econo-
my in respect of overseas representation and defence but the actual deficit in percentage terms is currently running at 9.5 per cent of GDP, in reality worse than that of Greece and almost double of that of Spain which is being threatened with EU fines! Whilst the SNP remains optimistic about the future and the fact that it could grow the economy especially if the oil price increases, analysts suggest that even if independent, Scotland would only be accepted by the European Union if it drastically reduces expenditure and even Ms Sturgeon accepts that the drop in oil prices means Scotland has “suffered an economic shock, which has impacted on our fiscal position.” As time passes, it appears that the Scottish people could become less interested in independence and more interested in a future within a United Kingdom which has left the European Union, so despite the dominance of the SNP generally, they will have to steer a very difficult course before independence or membership of the Union is likely.

‘No go’ areas really exist LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT WE really do have to drag our heads out of the sand and begin to admit some of the realities of life. Living in denial is utterly counterproductive. The recent ‘advice’ given to the Chinese tourist by their airline company is a case in point. To my mind their recommendation for their passengers to avoid certain areas, particularly after dark, was a completely responsible act by an organisation that obviously had their customers’ best interests at heart. Let’s be quite clear about this. Despite what the PC brigade would have us believe, ‘no go’ areas do exist in UK towns and cities. The majority of these areas, where taxis refuse to visit and even the police tend to avoid, are mainly inhabited by ethnic minorities and littered with illegal aliens, drugs and dangerous criminals. Heaven help anyone who dares to admit it however. I’ve no
SCHOOL SETTING: An environment for learning not fashion parading. doubt even this ol’ boy will receive the usual hate mail and accusations of racism from the rose-coloured
glasses brigade. Ah well on yer own heads be it. Loved the headmaster who turned
pupils away because he considered them inappropriately dressed. My teenage daughter takes more time
getting ready for school than Kate Moss spends preparing for the catwalk. Schools are for learning not fashion parading. Besides, school uniforms are a wonderfull leveller and allow the pupils to concentrate on what’s in the memory bank, not the banks of the wealthy parents that allow their offspring to Lord it over those pupils less fortunate. Good luck to him. Good luck also to Theresa May and her Grammar schools. To my mind the system I grew up in should never have been changed. It gave everyone an opportunity to better themselves. If you passed the 11plus you went on to Grammar school and later a chance of University. If you failed, you had the opportunity to stay on in your existing school or, if you so desired go on to Technical College to learn a trade and subsequently enter into the tremendous cross section of apprenticeships offered up to those who qualified. Perfect. Keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

Autumn... time to turn over a new leaf Nora Johnson

EVER felt that September is the true start of the New Year and not January? The time when, after the long summer break, kids return to school and adults to work. September always felt to me like a new start because of the change in routine. Your day-to-day life got shaken up anyway so it seemed like a good time to make changes, initiate projects or get back to some things abandoned over the summer. A time of fresh starts, self-evaluation and reflection, for some maybe, even divorce... A recent US study revealed that marriage break-ups peak not only after Christmas but also at the end of summer, possibly caused by family rows and disappointing holidays that fail to mend growing rifts in relationships. Whether we want to face up to it
FRESH START: A time for self-evaluation and reflection. or not, it’s quite clear that civilisation itself is being shaken up pretty forcefully too by the global threat from disease, climate change, crime, financial crises, terrorism, etc. We’ve got the
whole lot going on at once. Yes, but what’s this got to do with divorce? Like so many things, it’s out of control and costing an arm and a leg (Britain reputedly the divorce capital of the
world due to mega-payouts). Disasters of volcanic proportions start with bubbles of gas long before we start to see lava flowing. Years ago we were warned about the overuse of antibiotics,
now some are no longer effective. How long before an incurable plague-like disease wrong-foots us? Ebola hasn’t disappeared simply because we don’t hear much about it anymore. Basically, we’ve left too much to fate by thinking ‘it’ll never happen.’ Heck, all around us the social and economic fabric of our world is being slowly chipped away at, a situation becoming increasingly serious, together with the potential for knock-on effects. The problem with the culture which has built up today is that many of us want all the material goodies which go with today’s lifestyles, but don’t want to give anything back.

Parties are just marking time Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
NO politico will utter anything other than hot air before the regional elections in Galicia and the Basque Region on September 25. The Partido Popular, PSOE, Ciudadanos and Podemos are marking time, waiting to see how well they do. That’s when things on the national scene will get going, and not before.
Mixed messages RAJOY’S text message “Luis, stay strong,” to former PP treasurer Luis Barcenas after he was accused of enriching himself and the party with illegal funds will haunt him forever. So will vowing undying love - “I love you Alfonso, coño I love you” - for Alfonso Rus, former commission-grabbing, contract-padding president of the PP in the Valencia region. The c-word, incidentally, is admissible in Spain and its use obligatory for politicians. “Rita you’re the best,” Rajoy once told Valencia’s ex-mayor Rita Barbera who,
still a Senator, is under investigation for corruption, illegal party funding and money laundering. Their alleged transgressions surprised him, Rajoy admitted, which doesn’t say much for presidential perception. And if he suspected and said nothing, that says even less.
Love-in RAJOY, Sanchez, Rivera and Iglesias, all have first names, strings of academic letters after those names and private lives about which thankfully little is known. Even if the country were condemned to a third election, the Spanish would fortunately not have to witness presidential candidates snogging their wives before, during or after party rallies to demonstrate how loving and lovable they are.

Fire safety needs some thought FOR the three years that I’ve lived on the Costa Blanca I’ve been terrified to see burning in the open nearly every day (although it’s forbidden in the summer). It has hardly rained in these three years and when I phone the police to tell them that someone is burning, without a ‘quemador’ (those kinds of grey bricks areas in which they usually burn), during summer months and even during the not allowed hours, they just ignore my call! Last year on August 18 a neighbour started a fire that went into his other neighbour’s garden! Luckily this other neighbour was at home and both of them managed to stop the fire! The police again didn’t register it probably to save ‘their friends’ from paying fines! If anyone out there has been experiencing some similar cases please let’s report it all together to Seprona to put more pressure and stop this nonsense which puts at risks, lives, houses, and nature! Micheline
Rotten scoundrels BEEN enjoying reading the tales of blatant corruption you cover, amply provided by the Spanish politicians and others, amusingly keeping stereotypes alive and kicking. Some of their exploits are worthy of a satire, but it makes me wish our British overlords were more like the Spanish. At least here the corruption is in your face and, as long as it doesn’t fleece your bank account, always worth a good chuckle. In the UK they’ve managed to perfect it behind the scenes, it’s still there but done professionally is a little harder to uncover, and not quite as funny when you do... Marc
Dog beach blues I DON’T swim in any mass family orientated waters... just think how may humans pee in the water... did you know sunscreen location that is dutifully slathered on before a swim on the beach may be protecting your body, but a new study finds that the chemicals are also killing coral reefs worldwide... ‘human hygiene’?!

Car hire ordeal
An urban nightmare I WAS incredibly alarmed to read a recent EWN article about urbanisation along the Spanish coast meaning that most of the coastline of Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol is now comprised of apartment complexes and the like. Going back just 40 years the Spanish coast was raw, wild, pristine and glorious, but today is mostly private except for some packed beaches chock full of bars and garbage. Of course it’s the same story just about everywhere
And don’t get me started about plastic in the oceans... dogs and animals in general are not the threat to any environment unless they’ve been hormoned to death which ends up in our supermarkets... I believe that’s by far more of a threat to humane hygiene… It’s an animal’s world as well and we don’t own it! Felipe
Banking business I REFER to the letter in last week’s edition (1627).
as the world goes haywire, but surely Spain (and that includes us expats) is shooting itself in the foot here by destroying the main attraction that draws investment in property and tourism. When there’s nothing left to build on we’ll just be left behind as the money finds more lucrative opportunities abroad and we risk a return to the recession years... except this time around we won’t even be able to visit the beach to compensate! Harold, Costa Blanca
I feel it is only right to point out that under the same circumstance as her, when my husband recently passed away, our bank (Unicaja, Colmenar) could not have been more helpful. The joint account was not frozen, in fact within two days it had been changed to my name as sole account holder. Also the forms required by law to prove the balance at the date of death had been given to me for the nominal sum of €8. When I asked if I could use the total balance my manager was completely astounded, ‘why of course, it is your money,’ they said. Perhaps Margaret needs to rethink her banking arrangements. Ann
Pot meets kettle WHEREAS I certainly do not agree with western women being attacked for their dress, neither should Muslim women be treated in the same manner for their dress. Leapy’s point about feeling offended by their dress puts him in the same boat as the people he is objecting to! What about a bit of tolerance all round? Surely that’s a better way to go? Oh and by the way, pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is spelled incorrectly. If you break the word into its component parts it’s easier. Pneumono-ultra-microscopic-silicon-volcano-coniosis. In
THESE rip-off merchants have found yet more victims of their fraudulent lies, fabricated, invented or pre-existing damage. In our case it was a mark like a training shoe rubber would leave on a floor, above waist height and situated in a position that could not be damaged without causing a heck of a lot more damage to the rest of the panel... This is daylight robbery and now I can see that it has happened to many, many people. We shouted the odds and even got a witness who is a lawyer! They changed their minds and cancelled the booking - good for them. This is a deliberate, premeditated scam that is practised on virtually every person who has not taken their extra insurance - plain and simple. We were pre-warned on the day we collected the car to be careful as this was their gameplay. The only thing they have perfected is the arrogant rudeness by their ignorant and probably commission-based staff. The agent tried to make me sign their damage receipt which I point blank refused, only to discover later upon reading it that he had body swerved the original accusation of where the damage was and changed it to back bumper - exactly where the scratches pre-existed upon collection (photos taken). I am totally disgusted by the way we were treated and how blatantly obvious their tactics are. I have informed my credit card company as well as local press and EWN to take this into account since it is the likes of insurance companies that are also being duped into these fraudulent activities.

Gibraltar artworks bought
Brexit master plan talks
Job security discussions
THE Government has purchased more than 100 pieces of Gibraltar artwork, photographs, certificates, books, and other artefacts from the defunct law firm Marrache & Co at a cost of £200,000. According to the Chief Minister, they are items of an important cultural or heritage value, the artworks will be displayed shortly, and the documents made available for research.
BOTH the Chief and Deputy Chief Minister, returned to London to meet with politicians as Gibraltar prepares what it refers to as its ‘Brexit master plan.’ In their first visits following the election of Mrs May, they met the Prime Minister, the Foreign Secretary, and Europe Minister, and are due to meet the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union.
THE Gibraltar Chamber of Commerce met with a business delegation from the Campo de Gibraltar on September 13, to discuss the implications of the EU referendum result. One of the major topics was the safety of jobs in Gibraltar for the 10,000 Spaniards employed on the Rock. The watchword was ‘bureaucracy cannot affect citizens working in Gibraltar.’
Delegation of MPs descend on the Rock for discussion
LABOUR MP: Fabian Hamilton.
Gibraltar is an ideal base UPON his return to Parliament following his visit to Gibraltar, Conservative MP Bob Stewart, a former Colonel in the Army, suggested Gibraltar which has superb facilities, would be an ideal home for the new multi-purpose Type 26 Frigate. In response, the Defence Secretary Michael Fallon confirmed that he would consider this, as Gibraltar is an important Royal Navy base, but it is early days for this new vessel type, which has been experiencing manufacturing questions. In the meantime, the Type 45 Frigate HMS Daring visited Gibraltar en route to a nine-month deployment in the Middle East, where it will fulfil a role of protection for US vessels engaging terrorists in Iraq and Syria, as well as patrolling the area to stop human trafficking.
ward for a Gibraltar in partnership with the EU and not as part of Spain, and to sign the SDGG banner in Casemates Square! To accompany the visit, a letter was received from Shadow Foreign Secretary, Emily Thornberry MP, where she committed her party to fully back Gibraltar and never to allow any talks on Sovereignty to take place unless it be the will of the Gibraltar people. The Chief Minister, and Deputy Chief Minister, then met up with Mrs Thornberry during a brief visit they made to London on September 13.
Gibraltar National Day commemorated SATURDAY September 10, saw the first Gibraltar National Day celebration following the result of the Brexit referendum. The day followed much the usual pattern, with people dressed in red and white attending various events around the Rock, the most important from a political point of view being the statement from the Chief Minister in Casemates Square. There was plenty to cheer, and there were plenty of things for children and adults alike to do to remind the world of Gibraltar’s views and affiliations.
With a small coach load of British politicians visiting, there could be little doubt as to the wishes of those living there, and it is expected that they will report their findings back to their respective parties upon their return to the UK and Brussels. It was a busy day for local politicians who had to make appearances at a number of receptions and cocktail parties, whilst Minister Bossano had to jet off to Fiji to be one of the guest speakers at an important Commonwealth Telecommunications Conference.
HM Government of Gibraltar
WITH National Day taking place on September 10, without any red and white balloons, it seemed that the hot air might be replaced by an enormous delegation of politicians anxious to see what Gibraltar gets up to when it lets its hair down. In fairness, this was a major coup for the Gibraltar government, to persuade 19 sitting MPs (11 Conservative, six Labour, and two SNP), together with two Lords and two MEPs, (one of whom does represent the dissenting voice of UKIP), to visit the Rock on this important occasion to discover the arguments being put for-

YOUR STARS LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) As a home-loving Libran, you are torn between making changes to your surroundings and getting some cash in on the business side. Apparently, it is not possible to do both because energy levels fluctuate. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) There is so much in you that is determined and looking forward to a fresh start, but something that you are trying to get rid of, or give up, may be giving you more trouble than anticipated. Some things have to be done alone, or so you think, but others have gone through this before you so they are able to give support. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Is playing the waiting game really to your advantage? Your Sagittarian character naturally leads you to be optimistic, and why not? It won’t hurt to hurry someone along rather than having them go at their own pace. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) The enthusiasm of your bright Capricorn mind is also capable of making you restless. There are mixed feelings about being at or near home this week, with thoughts of more progress possible elsewhere. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) When you are at home this week I would
VIRGO
(August 24 - September 23)
As the saying goes, ‘no one ever said it would be easy’. In the past few months you have found this to be true. Hard work is not alien to you, but there is a point where you want to shout ‘enough’. It may be business or home life needs some rearranging, or that someone is moving job and the routine is severely disrupted. like you to consider how you view your surroundings. This is a good week to make changes and have discussions about future directions. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Pat yourself on the back for all of your efforts of recent weeks. Looking back just a few months, would you have thought so much progress could be made? Because of your efforts, home life is enhanced and you are more appreciated. Give yourself a break at the weekend and do something with a loved one that you have not done together for some time. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Rarely has your mind been as sharp as it is at present. There have been some awkward and downright bad periods in the past, but this week everything falls into place. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) For all of the things that you want to do, there are three others that you wish to do. Maybe they are waiting for their own time to come. During the course of this week you
will be thinking of what the future could hold, even though dealing with practical issues. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) When it isn’t possible to change something, often it is just as effective to rearrange it. That is the solution which comes to you this week. Instead of being frustrated at a delay, try changing the conditions or times. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) When we have long-standing friendships, these are often taken for granted and yet often we could make so much more of them. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Consider what is the most important thing to you at the moment? Is it wealth or social position? Your work, or how it may be possible to afford that new conservatory are minor considerations compared with your greatest asset which is your health. This week, then, is all about boosting this valuable commodity and building its future.

Are you afraid of the dentist? CONSCIOUS SEDATION IS NOW AVAILABLE ON THE COSTA DEL SOL AT GRUPO DENTAL CLINICS This innovative technique is the solution for people in Malaga who become anxious about visiting the dentist. It consists of administering a relaxant so the patient is calm and anxiety free, but is in an optimum state of consciousness. This means the patients are able to cooperate fully with their odontologist. We talked to Francisco Maldonado Chinchurreta, the clinical coordinator of Grupo Dental Clinics, a pioneer in the use of this system. How did the idea of using this type of anaesthesia come about? Well, firstly I should say that conscious sedation is not really a form of anaesthesia. Nobody loses consciousness for a single moment with this sedation. It’s a form of sedation which provides a sense of well-being, but we also
GRUPO DENTAL: Pioneers in the use of conscious sedation. have to administer the local anaesthetic which we normally use in dental treatment. Some patients are reluctant to go to the dentist because they are afraid of pain, or because they feel anxious about
anybody touching their mouth with surgical equipment. This type of sedation is perfect in cases like these, for two reasons: firstly, the patient will enter into a state of complete relaxation, and their ini-
tial anxiety will disappear. And secondly, it means that patients can respond to our instructions perfectly well throughout the dental procedure. What type of patients tend to
use conscious sedation, and for what type of treatments? As I said before, they are mainly nervous people with bad experiences in the past and want everything to be over very quickly. However, we do also have patients who need prolonged treatments. In the case of multiple implants, one of our best-known treatments, conscious sedation, can be a great help for those types of patient. Our experience with hundreds of patients in this field tells us that people want to reconstruct their teeth in a single session if possible. Another ideal profile is a patient who needs more aggressive surgery to treat the problem they are suffering from. Conscious sedation also helps us with people with mental disabilities who, for example, find it difficult to cooperate.

Doubling survival rates CHEMOTHERAPY and drugs have helped to double survival rates in patients with multiple myeloma, according to the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Foundation. Multiple myeloma is a cancer arising from plasma cells, a type of white blood cell which is made in the bone marrow. In myeloma, these plasma cells become abnormal, multiply uncontrollably and release only one type of antibody which has no useful function. The treatment of multiple myeloma, “has revolutionised over the past 15 years,” said Albert Oriol, haematologist and researcher
from Barecelona’s Josep Carreras Leukaemia Foundation. More than 2,000 people in Spain are diagnosed with the condition each year with the disease having a higher incidence in those aged over 65. As there is no complete
cure, “today, the goal is to keep this cancer under control and patients as long as possible, free of symptoms,” said Oriol, through a combi-

nation of specific drugs and bone marrow transplantation in young patients. The researcher is working with colleagues in the USA and Canada on new drug combinations to prolong patient’s survival and quality of life. “We’re improving rapidly, and we have learnt a lot already,” said Oriol.
MULTIPLE MYELOMA: Keeping it under control. abnsnormal
SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte.
The term sciatica describes a set of symptoms that are characterised by leg pain (and possibly tingling, numbness or weakness) starting at the bottom of the back and going through the buttocks and the greater sciatic nerve down the back of each leg. Sciatica is a symptom of another underlying health problem. It is not a disease in itself. What are the symptoms or signs of it? Th e m a i n sy m p t o ms that produce pain usually orig i n a t e i n t h e l o w e r back. This can affect the legs and produce muscle contractures and the inability to move. When should I talk to my physician? Whenever you begin to fe e l sy m p t o m s th a t may suggest something’s wrong in the previously men t i o n e d a r e a s y o u should consult a health care professional. First, talk to your family d o c t o r b u t i f t h a t’s not enough you will need to consult a specialist. What causes it?
It’s usually caused by problems in the intervertebral discs which bring about herniated discs, inflammation of the tend o n s a n d mu s c le s an d dislocation of the back b o n es , ty p ic a lly v ia arthritis and mainly in the elderly. How do I treat it? The first things needed are rest, dry heat, painkillers, anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants. Physiotherapy exercises are also helpful in lessening the pain derived from this illness. In v ery a d v a n ce d c a s e s w h e n p a in ca n n o t b e managed, surgical intervention may be required.

A natural path to health HEALTH and beauty regimes have turned full circle, away from the excessive reliance on crash dieting fads and the latest in-chemical regime, in favour of the holistic natural approach favoured in those faraway days before mass marketing. There is of course big money in health and beauty as people will always strive, rightly, to look and feel their best, and plenty of conflicting advice, but the good news today is that, as scientists and health professionals advocate this more natural approach, feeling your best has become a lot easier. Take diet for instance: while you’ll still come across a bewildering array of exotic and promising sounding new food fads, the consensus today is remarkably straightforward. Eat wholesome foods that would have been identifiable to people living thousands of years ago, or at the very least to your grandparents’ generation. Stay clear of processed foods, including fruit smoothies. Cosmetics experts urge a similar approach to make-up, advocating the use of natural ingredients as we discover
more and more alarming information about harmful chemical agents like micro-beads in our shampoo, face scrubs, and soaps. Today the new kids on the beauty block are the same ones the ancient Egyptians might have recognised - ginger, aloe vera, dead-sea salts, herbal extracts and purifying oils. In fact, a new notion is quickly redefining the cosmetic world. Simply put, it advocates that what we put inside our bodies is just as important as what we put on them. Exercise has also gone more ‘primal’ in its methods as trainers and specialists increasingly forgo performing 1,000 daily sit-ups to pulsating 1980s disco music, instead preferring natural movements that are more in tune with the body’s needs. The real benefit of these approaches to health and beauty lie not in their immediate results, but in the fact they represent ways of living you can easily make a part of your life. It’s remarkably easy to eat real foods and take gentle exercise to feel and look great.

Ask the Optician Children’s Eye Health Amrik Sappal, Store Director from Specsavers Opticas Fuengirola As everyone is back to school this month, I wanted to focus on the important issue of children’s eye health. If visual problems aren’t identified early it can affect the child’s development, how well they do at school and how they experience the world around them, so it’s an important issue. Q. When should I start taking my child to the opticians? A. We believe that children should have their first eye examination at around three years old but if you are concerned, don’t wait until then. The earlier any vision problems are discovered, the better the chance of correcting them. Q. How can the optometrist examine my toddler’s eyes when she can’t read? A. Opticians can assess which kind of lenses, if any, are ne e d e d wi t h o u t y o u r child having to read • Measuring the focusing ability by looking into each
e y e u s in g an in s tru me nt called a retinoscope • Using shapes, picture books and other materials to help children indicate what they can see and how clearly • Checking whether the eyes work properly together • Using special charts for young children who don’t know their alphabet • Checking health of the e y es u s in g an in s tru me nt called an ophthalmoscope. Q. Are there any signs I can look for to suggest there is a problem with my child’s eyesight? A. There are a few signs which could indicate a vision problem in children including: sitting too close to
the TV, rubbing their eyes repeatedly, complaining of headaches, being clumsy or squinting. Q. What is the relation between eye sight and performing well at school? A. Experts believe that many learning disabilities could be vision related as they may not be able to read the bla c kboa rd or te xt books, so it’s vital to identify problems early. Specsavers Opticas is currently offering free back to school eye tests and two for one on childrens’ glasses from 59€. To make an appointment or find your nearest store visit www.specsavers.es.

Seven physio tips for when kids are a pain in the neck By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com HAVING children is such a wonderful experience right? Kisses, cuddles, being the absolute centre of someone’s universe... but it can take a toll on our bodies - for mums AND dads. The lifting and carrying of babies, wriggling toddlers, buggies, nappy bags, and all the paraphernalia. The sustained and repetitive postures as you feed, rock them to sleep or lie curled on the edge of the bed because they’re scared of the dark. My seven top tips to keep you lifting, hugging and playing comfortably:
• Use a baby carrier - avoiding carrying for long periods use a baby carrier with postural support. • Check the buggy handle make sure that the buggy handles are the right height for you, no hunching over! Keep your shoulders back, head up and stride long. • Switch sides - most parents have one hip that baby sits on. This causes that hip to lift and twist the spine and shoulders. Try and alternate hips as much as you can. • Squat, don’t bend - when getting down to play or lift up baby, try and squat with your knees rather than bending your back - children can get heavy quick! • Use cushions - when feeding, whether breast or bottle, make sure that baby’s weight is properly supported with cush-
ions and that your back is too! • Stretch! - if you can get to a yoga or pilates class, that’s great! If not try these quick stretches: • Roll your shoulders back 10 times • With arms by your sides imagine a pencil between your shoulder blades, squeeze to grip it 10 times. • Clasp your hands behind your back and pull them down to your bum and slightly away from your body. Hold for five and
DON’T BEND: When lifting up children.
repeat five times. • Ice - if your neck or shoulders are aching try an ice pack for 10 minutes, every 30 minutes. And if you find that you are getting any numbness or shooting pains, trouble moving or that pain is lasting more than 48 hours seek a professional opinion.

A Surgeon’s Opinion
Is it the hip, knee or back? SURGICAL PRECISION not only the precision of work when you are performing surgery, but precision in making the choice of where and how to operate. Taking the time A five-minute consultation is not enough. An MRI scan alone is not enough. Let’s say you come to me complaining of pain in your right knee. Now the simple thing for me to do is to listen to your brief history, send you for an MRI scan of your right knee and then, because if you are over 35 years old you probably have some arthritic changes to the knee, pronounce that you need surgery. What I actually need to do is listen to your history, ask more questions to get details and then, this may shock you, get you to take your trousers off! I need to look at your knee in the flesh and see it move while you walk up and down while I watch. I need to examine your ankle and hip on your right side, examine your lower back AND the other knee. Making a connection What’s the purpose of this? Surgical precision. I don’t want to operate on your right knee, only to realise, six months later
when you aren’t making good progress, that actually the reason your right knee hurt is because you damaged your left knee a decade ago and your right knee has been compensating ever since. Or that actually the knee pain was referred pain from the right hip. Or your right ankle. Or your lower back. I only want to operate once. I want to get it right. Making the right choice We also need to decide whether surgery is the right option for you and if it is, which procedure. Perhaps we need to use some pain relief to get you out of the acute phase right now, but monitor the situation for the future. There are several joint preservation techniques which can be more helpful than simply replacing the uncomfortable joint. A friend once taught me the phrase, “Measure twice, cut once.” As apt for surgery as carpentry.

Brothers in Band concerts AS it becomes increasingly more difficult to attend the concerts of some of the great musicians of the 60’s and 70’s due to death, ill health or simple old age, it is becoming more and more attractive for audiences to attend ‘tribute’ concerts performed by musicians who have studied their idols in minute detail and present musically perfect interpretations of the songs and music that fans know so well. With Mark Knopfler concentrating on his solo career and as a composer for film soundtracks, Dire Straits, the first group to sell one million CDs, has not performed together since 1995 and it appears unlikely that they ever will do so again despite their enormous success. Today, a band made up of nine Spanish musicians who call themselves Brothers in Band are in the middle of a
tour of Spain and Europe where they are presenting all of the best-known numbers recorded by the original band. They have two performances on the Costa del sol, the first at the Felipe VI Auditorium in Estepona on Friday September 30 at 8.30pm with tickets costing between €23 and €31 including booking fees and then they appear at the Palacio de Ferias y Congresos de Malaga at 8pm on Sunday October 2 with ticket prices ranging from €22 to €33 including booking fees. With no likelihood of ever seeing the original band again, this is an opportunity to see a highly professional outfit who are so confident of their ability that they even offer a CD and DVD of themselves playing on their website www.brothersin band.com.

There is a great choice of food for Christmas Day but there are also some fabulous options for office parties or just a get together with friends and family for either lunch (in Banus) or dinner in both restaurants with set menus at very reasonable prices. New Year’s Eve is another special night that needs to be considered and the La Sala Group realises that not everybody wants to have a full sit down meal so there are two choices with a buffet bar menu that includes drinks until 11pm at Banus or a full evening meal at Banus and Gibraltar.

NEW LOOK: Metro Ristorante Italiano reopened and has been well received by guests. METRO Ristorante Italiano in the beautiful Puerto Marina in Benalmadena reopened in March of this year with a fresh new look which has been extremely well received by guests. “It’s a mix of the old and new,” says manager,
Karim de Mol. Designed by renowned architect Fernando de la Fuente, Metro now has a New York loft-style with exposed beams and a glass ceiling. Wallpaper is by Osborne and Little, British manufacturer of upmarket wallpapers and fabrics. The open terrace has been redesigned with a concept of evolution, to lead the way for improving the look and comfort of al fresco dining in Puerto Marina, Benalmadena and it is still warm enough to enjoy eating on the terrace although the interior of the
restaurant is also very inviting. The fresh menu was developed by leading consultant chef Lorenzo Otterburn and his colleague Mohamed El Masoudi with a number of very reasonably priced innovative and mouth-watering dishes. The Metro Ristorante Italiano is part of the Metro Grupo group of restaurants and bars, all based on the Costa del Sol and is rated four star on TripAdvisor and has won the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for three years with a ranking number 26 out of 640
restaurants in Benalmadena. Located in the picturesque marina of Puerto Marina, Benalmadena, the restaurant is a great place for al fresco dining, relaxing, people watching and enjoying the almost yearround sunshine. There is also a choice of a gluten-free menu; cocktails and group menus. A children’s menu is also available with super family-friendly waiting staff. For more information on this great modern Italian restaurant call 952 446 460 or visit its website at www.metroristorante.com.
THE Salon Varietes in Fuengirola is now taking bookings for their next large scale musical presentation, Fiddler on the Roof which will be presented in the theatre for 10 days from October 14 to 23 with a performance every night at 8pm except Sundays which is at 7pm. Fiddler on the Roof has music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and book by Joseph Steinm which is set in Imperial Russia in 1905. The story features Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his Jewish religious and cultural traditions as outside influences encroach upon the family’s lives. He must cope both with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters, who wish to marry for love - each one’s choice of a husband moves further away from the customs of his faith - and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village. The original Broadway production of the show, which opened in 1964 starring Zero Mostel was the first musical to exceed 3,000 performances and held the record for the longest-running Broadway musical for almost 10 years until Grease beat it. The stage show spawned a highly successful film starring Topol and now arrives in Fuengirola with a cast of 18 main characters. One of the most unlikely actors to play Tevye was Leonard Nimoy, Mr Spock from Star Trek. Tickets cost €18 per person and can be obtained via the website at www.salonvarietestheatre. com or from the box office.

Another great guest for JoysLive
DANNY LITCHFIELD: Brings a whole new meaning to the word versatile. By John Smith WHEN you think of music in Puerto Banus, the first place to think of is JoysLive which just keeps on delivering every night with some of the best singers and musicians playing on the Costa. With the piano man Paul Maxwel making an appearance most nights and a string of fantastic singers and musicians, you can be guaranteed a great time at this legendary night spot on the front line of the Port but often they have regular guest residencies to add to the quality of music performed. This year has seen the likes of Sheyla Bonnick and the sounds of Boney M, Mica
Paris and American rockabilly pianist Susan Erwin and now, versatile singer Danny Litchfield has been booked to play at the night spot from October 6 to 17. Danny brings a whole new meaning to the word versatile as he has a repertoire of some 800 songs ranging from Easy Listening to Soul and R and B via AOR, Pop from five decades and even Reggae. There is possibly a genre that he doesn’t play, such as Death Metal, but then again, it’s not the sort of music that attracts visitors to JoysLive anyway! There is nothing wrong with covering some of the greatest songs ever recorded which is why artists such as Tom Jones,
Rod Stewart and Robbie Williams have released incredibly successful cover albums over the years and if you visit iTunes, you can find songs and an album by Danny Litchfield ready to download and for an artist such as Danny to be available on Last FM and Spotify to name but two, he must be good. He is a natural to join the great line up at JoysLive and there is a guarantee of great music all night and every night at this historic night club that doesn’t even charge an admission fee, but attracts the right sort of people.

Colin Bird A weekly look Kyron Duke in action.
Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-thewall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.
I REMEMBER once having a discussion with the Methodist minister in the Suffolk village where we lived. His answer to the charge that religion had been the justification for more wars than any other factor in human history, was it was man who precipitated wars, not their beliefs. At the time I thought that was a reasonable supposition and made good sense. But I think differently now and I have come to the conclusion that religion is in fact a force that works against the best interests of the human race. My conclusion was based on some very deep thought on what religion really is and the nature of its origin. Incredibly there are an estimated 2000 known religions in
In praise of disability
THE TRUTH: No religion or individual has all of the answers. the world. The adherents of each believing that only they possess the true knowledge and therefore the answers to mans problems and ultimate salvation. But the truth is, no religion and no individual has all of the answers to the age old question: Why are we here? One of our design faults is that we, as human beings, detest the fact that we do not have answers. All the ‘I’s’ need to be dotted and the
‘T’s’ crossed. I therefore believe religion can be defined as: An observation of phenomenon and events that we do not understand, explained by things we would like to believe, peppered with a good deal of wishful thinking. It is only by this unsatisfactory means that we can slot in the missing parts and com-
plete the circle, giving us this inaccurate picture and in some cases, the right to impose the result on others. Some of these cobbled together circles promote universal love, whilst others foster conflict and domination. In simple terms: ‘Good’ and ‘evil.’ Ironically both sides of this coin can be present within the same be-
lief system, Christianity and Islam the prime examples. This is why humanity stands poised on the brink today. The ‘good’ by definition tolerate the ‘bad’ whilst the ‘bad’ abuse the tolerance of the ‘good.’ With the escalation of atrocities perpetrated by religious fanatics that we are witnessing today, this contradictory equation can only end in disaster. There has to be some urgent rethinking on dealing with the evil creeping ever closer.

The good life in Spain John Smith Random thoughts... THERE are lots of good things about living in southern Spain but one we don’t think of too often is that unlike many other countries around the world, we are less vulnerable to war than most. North Korea has announced it’s tested its fifth and largest atom bomb and boasts it can produce large numbers of bombs small enough to fit onto intercontinental missiles, which could supposedly reach the USA, its main enemy alongside South Korea. Even the Chinese, who supported the north during the Korean War, are critical of the latest actions from the unstable leader of the country who recently allegedly had a politician executed for not sitting properly in his presence. Yemen has had its fair share of fighting, but nothing like the terrible attacks taking place at the moment and according to one reporter in the capital Sana’a, youth of the country are so convinced they will be totally eradicated that they are moving into Saudi Arabia not because they expect to win but purely to kill as many Saudis as possible before
RELATIVELY SAFE: In Spain when compared to what’s happening in some other countries. their own destruction. Both the Saudis and Iranians are undertaking a proxy war in Yemen whilst also supporting other fighters around the Middle East. The Russians are getting aggressive again in the Ukraine, fighting in Syria and becoming belligerent about the movement of NATO forces on their doorsteps whilst Turkey has come out of its own potential coup, made up with
the Russians and is now attacking Kurd freedom fighters within Syria. Africa isn’t as bad as it has been although there’s fighting in recently independent South Sudan and ongoing problems with Boko Haram in West Africa and there’s always the possibility of new civil wars or uprisings happening in a large number of African states. Whilst terrorist attacks by Daesh in
EVEN though there were some financial and political problems surrounding the Paralympic games being held in Rio, the sheer number of participants, range of impairments and the unmistakable commitment to achieving their goals is remarkable. It leaves many unimpaired people stunned by all that is being achieved by disabled sports participants. Not long ago, to admit to having a child with a disability was looked down on. Even those who weren’t consciously biased against the disabled, tended to talk down to them, almost in the belief that someone in a wheelchair for example was mentally impaired. History shows us many examples of people overcoming disabilities, with Julius Caesar supposedly suffering from epilepsy, Helen Keller who was blind, Douglas Bader flew in the Second World War despite losing both legs, Franklin D Roosevelt became US President despite being crippled by polio and perhaps most famously, Stephen Hawking, who has defied all odds to live a long and successful life. Disabled games used to be considered a distraction rather than an event, but the urge to succeed and conquer difficulty runs deep in so many ‘disabled’ people and the fact they are able to channel their determination into sports that now sees large numbers of recognised professionals is quite amazing in such a short time. Although it clearly matters to the individual sportsmen and women who participate in the games to emerge with a medal, the fact is 4,500 determined people from 160 countries have simply shown they can overcome the worst and succeed.

Hello to Graeme Tyrrell, our new gardening expert STARTING as a teenager with a small veggie patch in the backyard in Australia, gardening has been a life long passion. I spent a few years in New Zealand learning self sufficiency gardening before returning to Australia where I ran my own gardening business, but after several years I learned the value of holidays. With a career in government, I became a Head Gardener and developed an interest in research and design of gardens through a Diploma in Horticulture and State Training Board recognition as a qualified gardener. To inspire others in the garden, I completed a parks and gardens supervision certificate that lead to a position responsible for public parks including a Botanic Garden. I didn’t lose touch with growing veggies though with a year teaching a group of Australian aboriginal students a certificate course in organic gardening and managing a horticulture enterprise with hydroponic, greenhouse and open field production of various market garden produce. I enjoyed improving the environment in

here in Spain. It soon lead to gardening and consulting services to some of the finest properties in the Baleares. I hope to share with you some of what I have learned.

Some natural remedies for ant invasions ANTS can be a common visitor to homes and gardens in Spain and once one turns up it is usually followed by a host of friends all wanting to move in with you. While there are plenty of products on the market to get rid of the pests, there are also sworn-by natural remedies from the kitchen or garden which can be used to keep the unwanted guests out. To make your own homemade ant spray, mix equal amounts of vinegar and water and spray on all affected areas. You can also try
putting lavender branches, mint, cinnamon powder, ground parsley, ground cloves, garlic or cucumber peel down in the areas you have seen ants. All of these are said to work as they have quite strong aromas which the insects loathe, meaning they will rush elsewhere.
GET RID: Ants do not like strong aromas.
Taking care of almonds THE days are starting to get noticeably shorter, which is a good reminder that we need to plan through autumn for the coming winter months in the garden. The heat, dryness and wind all take their toll on the various susceptible plants over summer, so autumn is a good
time to start pruning back dried off branches, twigs and foliage. It’s the main harvest time for olives, almonds, grapes and various other Mediterranean fare. For almonds, I use a traditional pole to knock down the almonds for storage onto shade cloth spread out under the tree.
Funnelling the almonds from the shade cloth into sacks, after winnowing and de-husking, I take the sacks to the local village that has an ancient almond crushing machine to get the shells off. Then it’s just a matter of coaxing the children to help sort them into jars for later use. Many don’t know that you don’t need to wait for almonds to dry out in autumn to eat them. During spring and summer I pick almonds on the lower branches by hand. I eat some in spring when still translucent, soft and chewy, like a fruit. In summer they are white and perfect to eat or make almond milk, which has a richer and creamier texture and is easier to make in summer, without any soaking of dried nuts necessary. Depending on the variety you have, the husks are soft and easy to peel off before autumn. I prune the almond trees straight after leaf fall as they prepare themselves for winter and produce their spectacular blossoms early in the new year. It is all worth it for a year round supply of fresh nuts.

Pet food that’s close to nature LUPOSAN-IBERICA are the official representative of the brand LUPOSAN® and Markus-Mühle® in Spain. Their mother factory in Langenhahn, Germany, has more than 55 years experience producing non-extruded pet food and therapeutic supplements for dogs. Here in Spain they have also developed their own formulas of pet food under the brand name Natural-Extra® which are manufactured exclusively for them in Langenhahn. Under the brand Natural-Extra® they offer feed with Chicken, Charolais beef or Fish and Potato. Also you can find an Energy-Feed and a feed especially for dogs with renal, hepatic and digestive problems which is called Hepadiet®. All feeds contain ingredients of high quality and no genetically modified raw materials. No additives, preservatives, flavouring or colouring chemicals are used.
LUPOSAN WAREHOUSE: Where products can be purchased at factory prices. They also created a cosmetic Natural-Extra® line with natural (not synthetic) scents such as regenerating cream for elbows and pads, lemongrass with tea tree and neem against mosquitoes. Currently they are preparing a range of shampoos with natural essences of rosemary and thyme,
tea tree and neem tea, lemongrass, aloe vera or rose. LUPOSAN®, Markus-Mühle ® and Natural-Extra® is different because their pet food is cold pressed. Under the industrial extruding process the mixture of ingredients has to be heated up to 140ºC in order to get croquettes.
It’s Chloe’s ball! House-sitting can be a win-win for both parties, free house and pet-sitting and the experienced and checked sitters get free accommodation! To find a pet-sitter go to www.HousesitMatch.com or call Lamia on 00 44 (0) 777 214 2742.
THERE comes a point when a dog becomes inseparable from a favourite toy, and sometimes the most placid, happy go lucky dog will turn into a staunch defender of a small piece of plastic, bearing teeth and growling in earnest to keep the toy in their possession. They take it with them everywhere. Meet Chloe. A six year old dog with a friendly open demeanour perfect for a household with young children. When the family go on holiday they would take her to a pet nanny who kept Chloe in her own home with other dogs in her care. Chloe would arrive with her ball and bed. In this new environment she became very possessive over her things. At home she was an only dog and it could take over a week for her to relax. The first few days she would carry her ball with her, to her feeding bowl, out to play in the garden,
and even to her bed at night. It’s hers, and no one should mess with her ball. The calm passive pet would bark and snarling, keeping strangers at bay. After returning from a recent holiday to find she had lost her voice they decided to try ‘house-sitting,’ having someone come to their home so Chloe’s routine remained constant, minimising disruption. Do you need a housesitter? Why not get in touch? House-sitting can be win-win for both parties, free house and pet-sitting, and the experienced and checked sitters get free accommodation!

This procedure is denaturalising the ingredients. On the other hand the cold pressed production gets pellets. It’s the combination in using ingredients of high quality with the cold pressed elaboration. By using this method it preserves vitamins, essences, fats and natural aromas
of the raw material, obtaining a healthy and tasty ‘almost’ irresistible pellet for all dogs. With this combination we have a lengthy record of healthy and long-living dogs. The feed and supplements are brought over from Germany in refrigerated trucks and sent to our customers all over Spain in protective boxes.

Doggy odours: how to deal with them BUBBLE BATH: Should help remove doggy odour.
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
IF your dog has doggy odour there could be many causes and there are many solutions. It can be caused by the dog rolling in decomposing organic material. It’s a favourite fragrance of most dogs, and is usually cured by a good bath. Odour might be due to excessive skin oil. Usually shampoo will get rid of this and strip it out. Some dogs require weekly baths and in between you can use dry shampoo.
Cover up the smell with colognes for dogs (never use human cologne) most vets stock ‘Desodorante para perros,’ there’s also one for cats. A change in diet could be in order. The food you’re using could result in excess oil in the skin and coat. Try a food with a lower fat content or foods containing Yucca schideriga extract. This extract
from the yukka plant results in stools and urine which is less smelly, Eagle is one brand. Better nutrition in general may help. If buying cheap food from a supermarket try feeding a better quality food, such as a Super Premium like Hills Science Diet or Euakanuba (Eams) Purina or Pedigree. An addition of vitamins and minerals and particularly biotin
Budgies for beginners IF you’re looking for something different to the typical furry, four-legged pet and birds have always b e e n y o u r t h i n g , y o u might like to consider budgies. The small, colourful birds are quite e a sy t o l o o k a f te r a n d make great pets for all ages, in fact they are the most widely domesticated bird in the world. Budgies can be found in a variety of colours and have varied personalities so look around for one that you click with. Cocks tend to be chirpier and easier to hand train and if you’re thinking of having a pair but don’t want them breeding, two cocks usually get on better than two hens.

You can also give s e e d b ars an d h o n e y ba lls a s tre a ts b u t n ev er give your budgie avocado, lettuce, potato, sweets or chocolate as they can be harmful.

has been found to help. Excessive body odour could be a sign of illness. Offensive odour is a sign of cancer, seborrhea, mange and a variety of other diseases. Have the vet check your dog thoroughly. Yeast and other infections in the ears are common and cause odour, so seek experienced help. Mange is quite nasty smelling, and if your
dog smells in the hindquarters, it could be a problem with hair matted around the rectum, or with the anal sacs. The anal sacs are located to the left and right of the anus and produce a sour or rancid-smelling, watery secretion that’s brownish in colour. They usually empty when your dog poops, sometimes in an explosive way if the dog is frightened or stressed. Sometimes they don’t empty and you or your vet must do this. The clue is when you see your dog ‘scooting’ along the floor, dragging his rear on the ground. Offensive mouth odours could be due to gingivitis or periodontal (gum) disease. This also requires treatment from your vet. It can also be a sign of corprophagy (stool eating) as some dogs eat their own stools to conserve enzymes which are in short supply. Other dogs will eat horse manure, cow manure and dog and cat feces, because they taste good to your dog. Some doggy odour is natural but if it’s bad have a chat with your vet.

Conned all the time Mike Senker
In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man WHY do I feel like I’m getting conned all the time? Take currency exchange. Before Brexit we were getting about 1.30 something for the euro against the pound then overnight it dropped like a stone down to as low as about 1.11. It drifted about a little but then the kids broke up from school and you know that as soon as that happens it ain’t going anywhere but down because the thieving bankers control it. My daughter went to the post office in the UK to get some euros. On their website they were offering 1.13 but when she checked what she got it worked out at 1.05. She was still in the post office and said she thought they had made a mistake but was told the 1.13 rate was if you ordered it online. She said, ‘Oh OK I don’t want this rate’ and the woman said, ‘Sorry, the transaction has been done. If we buy them back you will lose more money.’ Is that a con or what? I mean it’s the Post Office, not some back street money change place. Needless to say she got no satisfaction.
But this has been going on my whole life with these big institutions. Remember endowment mortgages? The general idea was you paid interest only on your mortgage and then you took out a policy to cover the loan itself. Surprise, surprise it never happened that the policy covered the loan. Thousands and thousands of people landed up in big trouble. Why? Because they were conned! Who by? Big insurance companies and their brokers that sold it to you. How about being charged £100 to be told you have no money in your account? How many times have you tried to make a claim on your insurance to be told by your first point of contact that ‘Sorry that’s not covered?’ Or, in my case,‘Sorry your fully comprehensive, all singing, all dancing cover doesn’t cover the holes in your tiles that the flood caused, even though the first surveyor that came round said it did and in fact sent someone round to fix them, but the crap they filled the holes with came out the first time the floor was cleaned! Then the second one says,‘Nah not covered.’ PPI - we were told we had to have that. No we didn’t. Liar liar pants on fire Mr Big Banker! Then, to add insult to injury, firms popped up that conned you when you tried to get it back! I could actually carry on about all the cons but I’ve run out of space.

OPINION & COMMENT
LEGALLY SPEAKING
Car eco-stickers 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.
ECO CLASSIFICATION: Vehicle owners will receive a letter from the DGT. OVER the next month or so, 100,000 vehicle owners across Spain will receive a letter from the DGT detailing their vehicle’s ecofriendly characteristics. A sticker will accompany the letter to denote the eco classification. Placing the sticker on the vehicle is voluntary, but it is advisable as it highlights the environmentally friendly rating of the vehicle which will also add value if the vehicle is ever sold. The DGT is advising the sticker to be placed underneath the ITV sticker in the top right of the front windshield. Many owners have already received theirs, especially in Madrid and Barcelona. There are four classifications in the national vehicle register of the DGT based on environmental concerns: Zero emissions: Moped, tricycles, light vans, vehicles over eight seats and vehicles
transporting goods classified as battery electric vehicles (BEV) and electric vehicles with extended range (REEV) and plug-in hybrid vehicles with a minimum range of 40km, will fall into this category. Eco: Cars, light vans, vehicles with over eight seats and vehicles transporting goods classified as plug-in hybrid vehicles with less than a 40km range. Class C: This is for petrol fuelled passenger cars and light vans registered from January 2006 and diesel vehicles from 2014 as well as those with more than eight seats and freight, registered from 2014. Class B: Petrol passenger cars and light vans registered form January 2000 and diesel vehicles registered from January 2006 as well as vehicles with more than eight seats and freight, registered from 2005.

Who pays for water damage? I live on the ground floor of a six-storey building. This building has a history of water leaking from the main drainage pipe due to union failure from pipes fed into it. The Community in the past has informed me that this damage is not their responsibility. This means that I have to locate the owners and pay for the repairs to both the offending pipe and also the damage to my apartment. I have previously been called upon to make such payments. Do I have some form of redress? E R S (Costa Blanca) The standard procedure is to inform the Administrator of the situation. He should then contact the upstairs neighbour, the expert plumber, and the Community insurance company. The expert plumber fix-

es the pipe and makes a report showing whether the water originates from a main down-pipe or from
inside the upstairs apartment. His entry into the upstairs flat is authorised by the Administrator. In no case can you be held liable for damage not caused by you. You may have to bring this up at the AGM.

Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155.

The Goodwood Revival By Matthew Elliott THE Goodwood Revival race meeting took place over the weekend in the historic motoring and vintage event’s biggest outing since the festival debuted in 1998, drawing in hundreds of thousands of spectacularly dressed spectators, motoring legends, enthusiasts and a galactic wardrobe of the weird and wonderful. Billed as ‘the only historic race meeting to be staged entirely in period dress’ the Goodwood Revival really is a special affair and drew exactly the breed of special cars you’d expect for an event of this magnitude. Racing highlights included a terrific line-up of 1930s-50s era BMWs to mark the brand’s centenary and compete for the Lavant Cup; a contest between older generation Aston Martin DBs, a chaotic screeching affair featuring
Ferrari 250 GT SWBs and GTOs; and the brilliant St Mary’s Trophy which saw 30 identical Austin A35s do battle. On the cultural front the festival celebrated 70 years of the bikini, the 50th anniversary of England’s 1966 World Cup win,
and the life and career of Sir Jack Brabham, a former Royal
Australian Air Force mechanic who was a three-time F1 world champion.
VINTAGE EVENT: Had an impressive line-up.
Dodgy dealers A BBC expose aired on wheeler dealer busting programme Fake Britain has found that fake xenon headlight bulbs are flooding the market and putting thousands of lives at risk. Most are sold through dodgy internet auction sites and can blind other road users, wreck car facades, and typically fall apart soon after they’re fitted. Genuine Philips xenon bulbs can cost upwards of €100 giving rise to a lucrative underground market not just in Britain, but also in Spain and right across the world. Last year a huge campaign launched by Philips to raise awareness of the dangers of counterfeit bulbs saw more than 10,000 seized and destroyed. Meanwhile the true toll of countless accidents attributable to the forgery may never be known.
Supercar of century By Matthew Elliott WITH more than 17,000 votes, the quest to find the greatest supercar of all time has been whittled down to just 11 remaining contenders, representing each decade from the very beginning of the 20th century. The public now have until the end of September to cast their vote for their favourite before the
greatest supercar of all time is announced at the Classic and Sports Car Show in October. Beginning from the humble origins of the pre-1914 era, the finalists are as follows: The Mercedes 1908 GP which could hit 100mph more than 100 years ago; the Bentley 41/2 litre Blower which defined the glitz and glamour of the 1920s; the Alpha Romeo 8C which could easily take on 120mph in a streamlined engineering wonder; the Jaguar XK120 known as the classic of the post-war years; and the famous Mercedes 300SL Gullwing, a space-age 140mphhitting mind-boggling machine. FERRARI F40: One of the 11 contenders.
From the 1960s onwards the design and capacity of emergent supercars escalated dramatically and contenders from then until today include the Lamborghini Miura which could outrun aeroplanes on the 60’s tarmac; the Countach which embraced the V12 engine and could go well in excess of 170mph when duty called; the Ferrari F40 of the 1980s which was the last model to be signed off by Enzo himself; the McLaren F1 which essentially revolutionised the entire notion of the supercar; the Bugatti Veyron which roared across 2005 in a 100bhp quadruple-turbo eight-litre W16 engine to claim the ‘fastest car in the world’ title; and of course this decade’s McLaren P1, a hybrid hyper-car which could smash 62mph in just 2.6 seconds and costs more than €1 million.

Club Hockey Benalmadena starts pre-season friendlies RAMÓN PEREZ’S team, with a few changes in the squad and technical staff, has designed this summer a preparation stage more demanding than the past seasons, looking for a better beginning in the competition. After a month focusing on the physical preparation of the players, as September comes, the Benalmadena team will have the chance to check their progress in the friendly matches that will take place in the following weeks. The Club de Hockey Benalmadena’s squad will start this weekend by travelling to Madrid to face on Saturday afternoon a recent Basque team demoted from the top division, Atletico San Sebastian, and on Sunday morning will face the second team from Club de Campo, Real Sociedad 1927.
BENALMADENA TEAM: Next week will travel to Gibraltar for a friendly match.
The preparation stage will take place next week with Benalmadena’s squad moving to Gibraltar to play a friendly match. Both teams know each other well and have played a lot of matches before in order to prepare their respective competitions. This huge effort to be able to prepare this demanding pre-season for an amateur club, shows that the Club Hockey Benalmadena has to fight from the beginning to keep its place in the silver category. The team will start this exciting league travelling to San Fernando in Cadiz, to play the first fixture in an Andalucian derby against the recently promoted team, Club de Hockey San Fernando, on October 2. www.chbenalmadena.com prensachbenalmadena@gmail.com
