Doctor death threats

PROTEST: Staff who demonstrated against patient violence earlier this year. A MAN who was refused tranquilisers threatened to kill and repeatedly insulted his doctor in Velez-Malaga. The incident, which took place at the Velez Norte medical centre is becoming more and more common, according to the Medical Union of Malaga (SMM). Juan Carmona, SMM delegate in Velez-

Malaga, said to Spanish national paper El Mundo: “The patient introduced himself and demanded that the doctor, who is also the director of the centre, with more than 20 years of experience behind him, prescribe a series of medicines, these being narcotics and anxiolytics.” He was trying to take advantage of the

Political leader attacked in Rincon THE leader of Spain’s Izquierda Unida (United Left) political coalition and his heavily pregnant wife have been attacked near their Rincon de la Victoria home. According to Alberto Garzón - who is also a Deputy in Spain’s Congress for Unido Podemos - a man aged between 45 and 50 approached him and his wife at night. He started to hurl insults and then accused Garzón of ‘wanting to break up Spain,’ rebuked him for his stance on immigration, urging him to welcome immigrants arriving on the Spanish coast into his own home.

Garzón also says the man tried to attack him physically, although no injuries were inflicted. The politician made an official complaint, and Guardia Civil officers made an arrest the following day. A man has appeared in court and has been released with charges.

It is understood Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez contacted Garzón to ask him what happened and to make sure he and his wife were unharmed. Garzón is spending August at the family home in Rincon de la Victoria before resuming his duties in Congress.

fact that his normal family doctor was away. The doctor’s refusal led to the patient issuing death threats and banging the doctor’s table with his fist. National Police were called but the aggressor had left before they arrived. An official complaint has been made, and the man is due to attend court. In April a woman was sentenced to four months jail and fined for attacking a nurse - who was kicked in the chest and a doctor in Velez. And in Andalucia as a whole there are now three attacks a day on medical staff, according to the SMM, although Carmona thinks the situation is much worse as staff often do not report incidents.

Immigrant tent city A NEW immigrant reception centre has been set up in Motril. The tent city has been put up by the army and will be able to handle 250 people at a time and takes the place of the sports hall presently used. A total of 82 troops of the Emergency Intervention and Support Regiment of the UME and 24 vehicles were deployed to put up the centre, which includes shower and toilet facilities, a dining room for 100 people, as well as modules where police can conduct interviews. This is not designed to be a permanent camp. Newly landed immigrants will be homed at the centre temporarily while they have health checks and are interviewed by police. Meanwhile the Maritime Service of the Guardia Civil rescued a total of four immigrants of Maghreb origin in the early hours of Sunday morning. They were taken from a boat in the waters off Castell de Ferro and transferred to the Motril reception centre. The immigrants are four men who were in good health when they were assisted. Guardia Civil also took the body of an immigrant to Motril. He had been found floating in the Alboran sea. A search for a second body was postponed due to lack of visibility.

Main suspect in Dutch boy’s murder arrested 20 years on in Spanish forest THE main suspect in the 1998 murder of an 11-year-old boy at a summer camp in the Netherlands has been arrested in a Spanish forest. Jos Brech, 55, was recognised by a Dutch tourist who tipped off police after seeing a photo of the man wanted in connection with the sexual assault and murder of Nicky Verstappen. The youngster had disappeared from the Brunssumerheide nature reserve overnight on August 9, 1998. His body was found nearby the next day. He had been sexually abused before he was killed, according to police. The detainee now faces extradition to the Netherlands within a few days. Brech became the main suspect in the murder after the investigation asked 16,000 males aged 40 to 65 from Limburg, the area of the murder, to voluntarily submit to a DNA test. Among the 2,000 who turned

JOS BRECH (right): Has been arrested in connection with the murder of Nicky Verstappen (above). down the request was Jos Brech. As he had previously been questioned by police as a witness he quickly became a suspect. When Brech - said to be a survival expert who could hide out in remote locations - disappeared from the country without saying a word to his family or friends an international ar-

rest warrant was issued. Acting on information from a Dutch tourist, Spanish police arrested Brech in a forest about 50 miles from Barcelona. Originally Dutch and French police thought he may have been hiding out in the Vosges region where he owns a cabin. A search of his property allowed detectives to find DNA traces, which they say link him to the

killing of Verstappen. At the time of the murder police had launched a massive search, but the boy’s killer was never found. New techniques allowed police to garner DNA evidence from the boy’s clothes in 2008, but no matching specimen could be found - so earlier this year police asked 16,000 men to voluntarily give DNA samples.

Culture festival unites nations

THE BIG PICTURE Nº 29

TORROX is hosting its first International Festival of Cultures from today (Thursday) until Sunday, with food, daily shows and a fun children’s area. Nine countries will be represented Spain, Germany, Argentina, France, USA, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Cuba, with each nation offering visitors a taste of its culture.

Magical place COMARES has been selected as one of the 30 Magic Villages of Spain by the Institute for Local Development and Social Studies (IDL). The town’s stunning views, history, architecture and culture, including the ‘verdiales de Comares’ costumes helped it gain the coveted title ahead of 8,000 municipalities in the country.

AUTONOMY DAY: Ceuta marks it autonomous status this Sunday.

City celebrates THIS is Roberto Pla’s aerial view of Ceuta, one of Spain’s enclaves in Africa which celebrates its Day of Autonomy this coming Sunday. Lying only 14 kilometres from Cadiz and 28 kilometres across the Strait of Gibraltar from the British territory, Ceuta has been under Spanish rule since 1668. Ceuta is one of two Spanish autonomous cities, the other being the country’s other African enclave of Melilla. The cities have more powers than those on the mainland and have days to mark their status as Spain’s Autonomous Communities (regions) do. King John I of Portugal captured Ceuta from the

Kingdom of Fez after sailing for the city on August 21, with it being conquered the next day. Ceuta’s flag is similar to that of Portugal’s capital of Lisbon and it still bears the shield of the country. Portugal formed the Iberian Union with Spain in 1580, meaning all its overseas possessions were jointly run by both countries. The Iberian Union dissolved in 1640. By 1668 Ceuta was in Spanish hands after King Afonso VI of Portugal handed it to King Carlos II of Spain under the Treaty of Lisbon. Ceuta is now part of the Andalucia region. It was attached to Cadiz Province until autonomy was granted in March 1995.

When Rincon de la Victoria Local Police arrived at the property in the early hours of the morning they heard a woman shouting ‘don’t hit me any more.’ They went to the second floor of the apartment block and heard a woman crying. When they entered the flat they found a woman with

injuries to her face, neck, arms and back. Broken items of furniture and smashed glass littered the apartment. Police took the woman to the local health centre for a medical checkup and later arrested CA, an Italian, on charges of gender violence and took him to the Local Police station for questioning. He has since been handed over to the Guardia Civil headquarters in Torre de Benagalbon.

Daring pedalo rescue POLICE jumped into a pedalo at 2.30am and went to the rescue of a man who was clinging to a buoy after he got too exhausted to swim. They had to navigate largely by sound as they made their way through mist and the dark to the man, who was about 200 metres from shore. National Police officers had been alerted to the 50-year-old man’s plight by citizens on the

Torre del Mar promenade. They had heard his cries for help as he held on to the buoy for dear life. He was too tired to swim back to shore or climb aboard the float. Rather than call for maritime assistance, the quick thinking officers took one of the fun pedalos from the beach and pedaled to the rescue. They found the man, who reportedly had little strength left, hauled him aboard and took him back to shore.

TREASURE TROVE: Salvador Dali’s (inset) letters feature in the archive.

The art files ARCHIVISTS in Barcelona have received a trove of documents which they believe could shed new light on Spain’s 20th century avant-garde art movement. The files, which include thousands of documents from artists including painter Salvador Dali and poet Federico Garcia Lorca, belonged to the Barcelona art critic Sebastia Gasch. Many of them have never been published before. Their donation to Catalan scholars was signed off by Emili Gasch, an Economics Professor and son of the art critic and Eugenia Serra, director of the region’s National Library. Joan Minguet Batllori, a Professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and an expert on Gasch, said the collection was “sensational.” “There is a wide breadth of items. Not only are there letters from some artists and very important critics in the history of 20th century art. There is also important material about the circus as well as about dance, flamenco and Spanish cinema,” Batllori said. Emili Gasch said it also featured letters from his father’s “constant friend” Joan Miro, the painter, sculptor and ceramicist from Barcelona.

There was also correspondence from Dali and Lorca who Sebastia Gasch counted among his friends, his son added. The documents, seen by some Spanish media outlets, detail how Dali and Gasch came to know one another. The critic wrote to the artist in 1926 after seeing one of his works in Barcelona. Gasch wrote an article praising Dali’s work. The archives feature a letter from Dali thanking him for his praise and also to tell him about his distaste for the word ‘artistic.’ “It is a horrible word that only services to indicate things that lack art at all: artistic show, artistic photography, artistic advertisements, artistic furniture,” Dali wrote. Their friendship later soured after Dali delivered a lecture in the 1930’s declaring himself a communist, which Gasch mocked. Dali called Gasch an “imbecile” in a letter responding to his mockery which is in the archive. The documents also feature correspondence, poems and letters from Lorca. “I always say that you are the only critic and the only sagacious person I have ever met,” Lorca wrote.

Danny Malaga 1969-2018 NERJA lost one of its most colourful characters on August 9 when Danny Malaga, assistant manager at the town centre sports bar El Bosque, died suddenly in hospital, aged 49. Danny (real name Gary Dancaster), had been serving drinks to countless locals and holidaymakers for many years.

OUR VIEW All change ONE interesting side line that has emerged from the current possibility of a no deal Brexit is a review of the ongoing need for the 1p and 2p coins in the United Kingdom. It has been clear for many years that the production of these coins is actually a loss maker which costs the country a large amount of money each year, as the cost of the metal used in the blanks is higher than the actual value of the coins themselves. The argument in favour of keeping the coins is two-fold, firstly, any companies were involved in making offers which ended in 99p as there was a marketing perception that an item priced for example at £9.99p was seen to be much cheaper than an item priced at £10. Research suggests that fewer offers of this type are being made so the need to be able to offer 1p in change has reduced dramatically. The second fear was that the disappearance of the two smallest sterling coins would be treated as a sign of inflation which is generally unacceptable to any government in power, but as inflation appears inevitable according to many economists over the next few years, it is believed that the loss of the 1p and 2p would almost go unnoticed with the 5p filling most gaps. The same observation concerning production is true with regards to the 1 and 2 euro cents and there appears to be little justification in continuing with those coins as well, although Italians of a certain age may resist the concept as they remember the days of change being given with boxes of wax matches, bus jetons or sweets.

He was an avid Aston Villa fan - many of the youngsters at his funeral wore Villa shirts in his honour - with a tribute due to be paid to him in the programme and on the big screen at the match between Villa and Sheffield United on September 1. Danny also loved his music, darts and his annual trips to Blackpool. He will be sadly missed. Dan Sherry

50 metre death fall THE body of a 30-year-old woman, described as ‘foreign,’ has been found under the 50-metre high Barranco de Maro bridge in Nerja. Initial reports suggest that she had committed suicide by jumping from the structure of the old N-340, which crosses the ravine. Guardia Civil investigators believe it was probably suicide, but are awaiting results of a post-mortem examination. There were no obvious signs of violence, apart from injuries compatible with a fall from a height of about 50 metres. The Barranco de Maro is an area where homeless people live, mostly of foreign origin, in huts and caves. The town council has been trying to stop them from doing so for several years, but has difficulties due to the extent of the terrain, with numerous ravines, caves and small coves in the area.

THE amount of beer drunk in bars and restaurants in Spain has risen by more than 2 per cent over the past year, according to market data. Statistics from the NPD Group showed the rate of growth between July 2017 up to the end of June this year took place despite weather hampering production. Data showed that one out of every four cold drinks consumed outside of the home was beer. The beverage was served in 41 per cent of orders in tapas restaurants and almost 30 per cent in other venues such as coffee shops and fast food outlets. The one-in-four figure is a national average. It rose in certain venues such as bars, regions including the Mediterranean coast and at certain times of the day including before meal times.

BOTTOMS UP: Beer was popular with tapas orders. Beer was ordered in more than 24 per cent of mid-morning meals, versus 18 per cent of lunch time orders and 12 per cent during the afternoon. The percentage then rises to 23 per cent of orders by Spanish dinner time in the evening. NPD figures also showed the consumption of soft drinks had grown by 5.5 per cent during the same period and cold drinks in general rose by 3 per cent.

They dined at a restaurant in San Sebastian de los Reyes, on the outskirts of Madrid. The pair opted for a rather summery dress style and they both appeared to be really enjoying each other’s company. It seems it cannot be avoided that members of the public go crazy for any news surrounding Kiko’s life outside of ‘Salvame,’ a programme aired on Spanish television network Telecinco since 2009. Who is she? Are they friends? Was it a date? These were just a few of the questions posed by many of his followers on social media. The establishment was likely chosen due to it being a rather small restaurant where they thought they could relax, the pair left together in Kiko’s car later that night.

Two decades on we remember the People’s Princess By Tara Rippin TWENTY-ONE years on from the shocking death of Diana, Princess of Wales, the day is forever ingrained in the nation’s memory. We all remember where we were and what we were doing when the tragic news was announced to the world that the beloved royal had been killed. The most photographed woman of her time died of fatal injuries in the early hours of August 31, 1997, after a horrific car crash in a tunnel in Paris. She had been travelling with her boyfriend Dodi Fayed, who also lost his life together with driver Henri Paul, and the circumstances surrounding the accident attract controversy and conspiracy theories to this day.

CARING: The Princess regularly visited sick and terminally ill patients across the country. Her untimely death at just 36 years old led to a huge international outpouring of grief from people who are now remembering her two decades on. A number of events have been organised and TV shows broadcast to mark the anniversary of the stunning ‘People’s Princess,’ who loved spending

time at Spain’s iconic Byblos Hotel in Mijas. Her Royal Highness stayed three times at the leafy enclave in the hills above Fuengirola, where she was famously photographed topless by paparazzi. The hotel, which recently reopened its doors after closing in 2010, was the first place she spent the night during her debut visit to the Costa in 1993 - the same year she announced her withdrawal from public life. This followed a well-documented life in the limelight, after marrying into the world’s most famous family. Diana, born in 1961, grew up at Park House on the Sandringham estate, but moved to Althorp in Northamptonshire when her father inherited the title of Earl Spencer in 1975. At just 19, the now infamous photograph of a shy Diana pictured outside the kindergarten where she worked in Pimlico, London, was revealed to the media in 1980. The following year she and Prince Charles kissed on the balcony of Buckingham Palace on their wedding day, July 29, 1981. An estimated 750 million viewers watched the fairytale

wedding on television, while millions lined the streets. In June 1982, Prince William was introduced to the world from the steps of St Mary’s Hospital in London, and two years later, in September, Prince Harry was born. As well as being a fashion icon, Diana was a well-publicised humanitarian figure, who brought the issue of Aids to the forefront when she was famously photographed shaking hands with a patient in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1991. Another iconic image struck a chord with the nation as Diana can be seen sitting alone outside the Taj Mahal the monument of love - in 1992. Nine months later, the couple announced their separation and Prince Charles and Princess Diana were divorced in 1996. To this date, Diana remains one of the most famous women in history. After her death, a sea of flowers was left outside Diana’s Kensington Palace home, and in scores of locations across Britain and further afield.

State mulls paying up THE Economy Ministry is weighing up whether to voluntarily pay back money early to a European banking fund. Spain has debts of €26.7 billion with European Stability Mechanism (ESM) which it must repay by 2022. The fund was created to provide European Union (EU) member states with emergency cash during financial crises. Government sources said it was studied whether to make the early payment, or amortisation, but added no decision had been reached.

Court cuts tax bill SPAIN’S National Court has ruled that the country’s government must lower the amount by which it intended to fine a United States-based steel company for alleged tax fraud. The Madrid court ruled against the government in an appeal filed by Alcoa in connection with an audit in which the Treasury claimed it owed some €131 million in fines. The court found officials had not accounted for losses the company racked up in the years before the 2006 to 2009 period when the fraud is alleged to have happened. It has

by Joe Gerrard now ordered the government to recalculate the figure. The company has reportedly factored in a €26 million expected loss to its third quarter earnings over possibly having to pay the fine. Alcoa sources said it did not expect a favourable outcome if the Spanish government took the case to Spain’s Supreme Court for further appeal. The firm and Arconic, a subsidiary of Alcoa which specialises in aerospace and vehicle manufacturing,

have estimated the new figure could range between €21 and €53 million. Company sources said the final bill would be split between Arconic and Alcoa. The former is set to assume 51 per cent of the cost and the latter 49 per cent under the plan if the two are still fined. The €26 million figure assumes a worst case scenario in the company’s forecasts designed to cover the 49 per cent of the total the Treasury is likely to demand. Alcoa is the sixth largest aluminium producer in the world.

SPANISH government spending on pensions rose by 4.86 per cent to more than €9.2 billion by the end of July, a historic record for that month. Pensioners were paid an extra €100 in July due to a revaluation which left seven months of arrears. Pension increases in this year’s General State Budget by 3 per cent for minimum rates and 1.6 per cent for all others also pushed up spending government officials said.

Merger report CORPORATE mergers fail to generate the value expected by shareholders and investors in around two thirds of cases according to a report from the KPMG consultancy which claimed i n t e g r a t i n g d i ff e r i n g c u l tures and workforces were factors in the findings.

Home sales ACCORD: Gimeno headed up El Corte Ingles. DIRECTORS at the El Corte Ingles department store chain have reached an agreement with their shareholders over the departure of president Dimas Gimeno. Gimeno accepted an agreement drawn up by the firm’s bosses last Saturday evening. He resigned shortly before being formally dismissed on Sunday following a standoff which lasted several months.

The former president has agreed to sever ties with El Corte Ingles in exchange for the firm paying him the equivalent of two years’ salary as part of a compensation package. The total payout has not been confirmed. The agreement follows a week of talks in which Gimeno tried to secure a bigger payout over his dismissal which was agreed by company bosses last June.

LUXURY home purchases rose in Spain by 27 per cent in the first half of this year and the number of sales in Cataluña fell by 13 per cent between January and June, the real estate agent Lucas Fox said.

Women led the growth in numbers while the number of men who worked for themselves declined. The number of female self-employed workers grew by 7.9 per cent while males fell by 1.9 per cent. Data also showed self-employed workers aged 40 and above represented 65.2 per cent of the total.

FINANCE, BUSINESS & LEGAL MINISTERS from Spain’s government have said they will not move forward with their plans to balance the country’s books until the Senate is stripped of its debt policy veto. Deputy Prime Minister Carmen Calvo said following a meeting of the Council of Ministers last week the government would press on with its deficit reduction strategy once changes came in. Her comments come as leftist parties including the anti austerity Unidos Podemos group and the pro Catalan independence Esquerra Republicana de Cataluña (ERC) backed the governing Partido Socialista (PSOE). Valencian regionalists Compromis have also offered their support. Calvo said the veto, which allows the upper house of Parliament to strike down debt and deficit legislation, had created an “exceptional and unintelligible” situation. “We are aiming to return to the constitutional normality we had under previous laws which maintained Congress’ pre-eminence over the Senate,” Calvo said. “The Congress as the seat of popular sovereignty will be able to adopt final decisions, as is the case with all other laws. The Partido Popular (PP) introduced this veto, perhaps for political and partisan reasons,” the Deputy Prime Minister added. Legal experts have reportedly said it

Deficit path stalls Ministers vow to remove Senate veto

VETO ROW: Ministers want to strip the Senate of the power. would be difficult or “almost impossible” to remove the veto before the end of this year. Pablo Casado of the opposition conservative PP, who currently hold an absolute majority in the Senate, has said his party would oppose the reforms.

The centrist Ciudadanos also voiced their opposition. Casado claimed it was a ploy from the government to try to end the separation of powers laid out in the constitution. Teodoro Garcia Egea, the general

secretary of the PP, said the move showed the leftist and anti-austerity leader of Podemos Pablo Iglesias governed Spain. “One of the demands of Podemos is to remove powers from the Senate in which Spanish voters gave an absolute majority to the PP,” he said. The tussle over the veto follows meetings between government ministers at Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s residence in La Moncloa last week for talks on deficit plans. Their proposed stability pact set a target of the deficit equalling 1.8 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2019. The figure is up from the previous PP government’s goal of 1.3 per cent. Deficits for spending have been targeted at 0.4 per cent for the Madrid government, 1.1 per cent for the welfare budget and 0.3 per cent for regional spending. The government has estimated that their plans will see them spend €6 billion more than was to be spent under PP plans.

Government control for dangerous dogs? LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT HORRIFIC photos once again this week of a young baby savagely mauled by a pet dog. How long is it going to be until the authorities realise that a number of canine breeds are actually no more adaptable to the living conditions of human beings than many dangerous wild animals? To my mind the likes of Bull Terriers, Mastiffs, Rottweilers etc should be viewed in one place and one place only. The local zoo. In the last 10 years there have been 17 deaths in the UK due to dog attacks and 200,000 reports of dog bites in the last year alone! These are horrendous figures and the most tragic fact of all is that the majority of victims were extremely young. Many of these tots, now scarred for life, have had their whole futures altered beyond redemption, simply because the two-legged animal that should be the most responsible of all, deems for some unknown reason to allow unpredictable, potentially life destroying four legged canines to share their homes. When are they going to recognise the devastation these animals are actually capable of? I do actually shudder when I see photos, or postings

DANGEROUS BREEDS: These dogs are capable of causing devastation. of dangerous dog breeds, cuddling up or licking the faces (not too hygienic anyway!) of babies of sometimes a few months old. One, split second vicious snap and those faces could be gone forever. When are the government going to see some sense and ban certain dangerous breeds altogether? I await the slings and arrows of DDO’s (dan-

gerous dog owners) with my usual full metal jock strap firmly in place! Contrary to the outcry that accompanied it, I did have some sympathy for the British pensioner who said her Benidorm holiday was ruined because her hotel had ‘too many Spaniards in it.’ Not being present at the time, I can’t comment on her remarks about the general rudeness of the

other guests, although I am fully aware that certain cultures may appear somewhat more abrasive and a little more obtrusive than the British are generally exposed to! No, to an extent I can fully emphasise with her problem. Some years ago, when the children were a great deal younger, I decided to take them all to a hotel in Mallorca over the Christmas period. After checking in and exploring our ‘special Christmas treat’ It didn’t take long to realise that the hotel was full of Germans. In fact, the whole of the Christmas festivities were geared toward the Alemannia’s. The staff all addressed you in German. The shows (including the comedian) were German orientated. The food had a distinct German flavour, the bars were empty by 10pm and breakfast was served at some ungodly hour around sunrise! Our whole Christmas was in fact ruined. I believe that hotels do have a certain responsibility to inform potential guests that their establishment may be geared toward some culture or citizens from a specific country. At least you would then have the choice of who you would prefer to share your hard-earned break with. Keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

TECH FOR THE TIMID BY force of habit, a young colleague recently ended an e-mail to the tax authorities with a row of kisses. Ouch. Digital communication is still a brave and scary new world, especially for those of us with a reduced shelf-life. It’s not just the text-speak terms like LOL which are confusing. (For years a friend assumed it meant Lots of Love and used it thus. He only discovered his mistake in a hurt response to a note of condolence). Join me on a voyage of discovery through 13 of the more important email etiquette tips. 1. Plenty of us absolutely hate emails without a subject line. Even worse: WRITING THE SUBJECT LINE IN CAPS. Easy there, pardner. 2. Use a proper salutation. Except to friends, hey, yo or hiya doesn’t cut it. When in doubt the time-tested ‘Dear …’ works just fine. 3. Don’t blitz your entire address book with funnies or a cat video. If you can’t desist, at least use the

Anatomy of an e-mail You need to etiquette-it in today’s communications world, says Terence Kennedy

E-MAIL: Tame the beast. BCC (blind carbon copy) button so you’re not releasing your entire address book into the wild to delight the world’s spammers. 4. Don’t assume the recipient knows who you are just from your e-mail address, especially if it’s ‘hotlips36-24-36@gmail.com.’ Attach a proper signature to every email. 5. Check previously-quoted text for potential landmines before re-

sending it, unless the entire ‘thread’ has only been between you and your single correspondent. 6. Mixing up Reply and Reply All has cost many a hapless employee their job. Ditto not ensuring you’ve clicked the right addressee. 7. Don’t put emojis in business correspondence. Sad-face emoji really doesn’t do when apologising for missing the tax-form deadline.

8. Nowadays if you don’t reply to a message in 24 hours it’s a snub. 9. Go easy on the exclamation marks!!! Not for nothing are they called ‘screamers’ in newspaper parlance. 10. Never shoot from the lip; don’t e-mail when you’re angry. Or drunk, which should be a criminal offence. 11. Keep things brief and to the point. Wordy letters are a relic of a bygone age, more often’s the pity, but there it is. 12. Don’t send giant attachments, or fleets of them, without asking first. 13. Finally, last thing before hitting Send, run a (spell)check. Be particularly aware of the pitfalls of predictive text, which might easily have turned your dear to dead, being pregnant to pringles, your kissing to killing (I’ve had them all). Never mind the embarrassment caused when predictive changed the two vowels in a message about a lady’s car called a Volvo.

To BCC or not BCC RULE 3 says don’t blitz your entire address book with a bulk e-mail, covered in detail in an earlier column. If you really must, at least ‘BCC’ the recipients rather than revealing to all and sundry just how many (or few) actual people you know. That’s also vital these days when lists of real, active addresses are digital manna from heaven for anyone of the spamming persuasion. The most common solution is to address the e-mail to yourself in the normal way. Then go through your address book adding recipients individually, by clicking the BCC button for each. Incidentally, did you know that under Europe’s new GDPR rules, bulk e-mailing is now technically illegal unless you ask each person’s individual consent? So good luck with that.

Our house, our refuge, our castle... In short, our home NOT everyone knows that taking out a home policy is not mandatory except when the house is mortgaged. That is the only situation that requires a person to have a policy which protects their home in Spain. However, it is worth saying that, although it is not mandatory, it is advisable and necessary to be prepared for any eventuality. Our home is our most precious asset and if we want to avoid surprises and unforeseen events, it is important to get an insurance that gives us the peace of mind knowing that whatever happens in our home there will be someone who is responsible for solving it. The first thing you should know is that you do not have to contract your home insurance with the entity that is granting you the mortgage, but you can compare prices in the market and hire the product which provides the coverage that best suits your needs. Until a couple of years ago, banking entities could condition their mortgage lending with an ‘obligation’ to contract some linked products, such as the Home insurance.

But now, with the approval by the European Parliament of the Mortgage Credit Directive, banks are prohibited by law from linking a mortgage to the purchase of insurance. Your insurance company might include a clause in your policy registering your lending bank as mortgage beneficiary, to cope with the request of the bank. Then, the key question is, what is the best insurance for my house? In this article we give you the keys so that you can make the best decision when taking out your home policy insurance. The value of the Building There are two criteria to assess a home insurance policy: the Building and Contents. The ‘Building’ section of your policy refers to the costs of rebuilding your home, not to the market or cadastral value. However, it is of key importance to declare the whole size of the property, according to the cadastral property details. The value of the Contents The ‘Contents’ section of your policy refers to economic valuation of all

the household goods: furniture, including kitchen furniture, electronic devices, musical instruments, jewellery or other objects of special value. Check that the imputed valued of the content can cover the value of all those things. Although in many cases the sentimental value is higher than the economic one, the best advice is to add all the important items in the content to secure them. Special features Besides worrying about the Building and the Contents, there are other very interesting and useful covers to consider that not all insurance companies offer. Liberty Seguros is offering among others the following great covers: • Up to €1,000 compensation for the additional water consumption costs due to water leakage when you take out their premium home policy. • An unrivalled DIY Service, to avoid the hassle of assembling packed furniture, fitting curtain poles, hanging pictures, etc. • Damage to your garden furniture,

even if it has been damaged by adverse weather conditions. • Your goods will be insured on a ‘value as new basis.’ • Legal defence, claims for damages and IT assistance service. • Home assistance, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with just a simple and FREE telephone call on 900 243 657, in English or German. • A return ticket to your home in Spain, if you are abroad in your home country should an unforeseen claim happen. Apart from all these advantages, Liberty Seguros has an extensive network of over 300 brokers and agents who are dedicated to providing unbiased, friendly and expert advice, because every home is different and such an important decision deserves a face to face chat with a professional insurance advisor, in your own lan-

guage, to discuss the most suitable cover for your home in the sun. With insurance, not only for home, but also car, life, pet, business, commercial, leisure, public liability and personal injury, Liberty Seguros is considered by far, the expat’s number one choice in Spain today.

Yours is a big ship. You are able to take a lot on board but you don’t have to. In this special week, when you see things so clearly, be selective. Allow into your life only that which is valuable and worthwhile. This is not selfishness, it is providing a source of inspiration for the present and the future.

Your old shoes are comfortable and still have a lot of wear in them but someone is suggesting that you should buy some new shoes and throw the old ones away. They are no longer shiny. They are no longer fashionable. They do, however, provide all that you need.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) That little bit of extra cash has made you realise something. Not everything is as simple as you would wish it to be, and throwing money at a problem will not make it go away entirely. There are some things that you need to come to terms with. It is much easier to incorporate the uneasy into your life if you take a more relaxed attitude.

Sometimes, when we are making a journey, it is not the usual route that is best. Something has changed in your sphere and there is a need to adjust to it. There are other options that will bring the same result and maybe even a more convenient one. You will need to do two things. The first is to open your mind to the possibilities.

Keep things simple. You know where you are.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you looking for guidance? Maybe you are thinking that a recent acquaintance will be able to provide it. You ran something by a few friends and they are not so sure. That is because this is a situation where you need an expert, not a well-wisher. Best not to waste your time and jangle your nerves.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) It appears at times that you are in the middle of a play. The lights are on you, the mike’s wired, your audience awaits, then nothing. Not that you are lost for words. You know exactly what to say and do. What you are wondering is why you are there in the first place. Maybe where you are was not intended.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) There’s a lot of buzzing going on in your head. No, it isn’t tinnitus, it’s something quite different. You know it’s a great time to get ideas and act on them. However, trying to act on too many at once is causing some confusion. Maybe there’s too much going on.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You’ve been working hard, maybe in the dark some of the time. This week someone shines a torch on your situation and you see exactly where you are. Surprised? You shouldn’t be.

Finding a balance between helping and idly standing by while mistakes are made is necessary. It’s not easy but it has to be done.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A way opens up before you that can bring wealth. Branching off from that is a path to certain happiness. Which will you take? If having that money means changing your nature (or trying to) is that going to make you happy? On the other hand, if you sidestep the money can you still be happy?

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Getting a creative project started has opened your eyes to many things. Perhaps you question why you did not do it before. The fact is that it doesn’t matter. You are where you are right here and not because that was where you were heading.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Just imagine for one day that you have achieved everything your heart has desired. When you wake up in the morning believe it is so. Feel how your spirits lift and your heart sings. Carry that feeling through the week and beyond. If you believe that you are a success you can be. Why stop when it feels so good?

Nick Horne The Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England FROM September 26-29, 2018, ‘Ultra High Net Worth Individuals’ and superyacht lovers from around the world will flock to the Principality of Monaco to attend the Monaco Yacht Show. The most magnificent annual exhibition of superyachts will display 120 giant vessels in Port Hercule of Monaco. At one time an indicator of cost was a rule of thumb US$5 million per metre of length, of course it’s just a rule of thumb, in actual fact there is not really an upper limit with some of the giants reputed to have original build costs of more than US$400 million. To build is one thing, to own is another, running costs are eye watering, what with highly skilled and dedicated crews that number in some cases 20 and more per yacht, then there are the essential ‘toys.’ Submarines and dive stations, helicopters and seaplanes as well as custom-built tenders. Tenders are those smaller boats which carry owners and guests from shore to ship and back again, some can cost upwards of US$3 million each, I dare say more than a pretty luxurious Spanish villa with or without a private pool. The superyacht KISMET is expected to be one of the 120 going to the 28th edition of the Monaco Yacht Show and at 95.2 metres length overall will be the largest superyacht on show this year.

What does your #ootd selfie say Nora Johnson

Breaking Views Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

REPORTEDLY one in five shoppers admit to buying clothes online, wearing them once just to post a selfie, and then returning them for a refund. And 3544-year-olds (not teenagers this time!) are the worst culprits of all. Barclaycard, that barometer of fashion intel which commissioned the new research, says this trend to ‘snap and send back’ is increasing, partly thanks to the hashtag ‘outfit of the day’ (#OOTD). Here, Instagrammers upload a picture of themselves to showcase what they’re wearing - in a bedroom, on a beach, on the streets or wherever - and the hugely popular hashtag has more than 2m posts. I know it’s a trip down memory lane but I remember a pre-digital time that involved lusting after a particular outfit in a shop window, saving up and rushing back from the

shop to put it on. Or, picking out a fabric and pattern and sewing the dress or coat yourself. Way back when, many women were skilled home dressmakers who created beautiful garments for themselves on simple Singer sewing machines. They also sewed clothing for their families as well as curtains and other household items. And knitted and crocheted too... Not so long ago I was chatting with a careers advisor who said the clothing industry is desperate for skilled tailors and dressmakers. But the main thing schools are offering nowadays are ‘textiles’ courses, which are more concerned with

the design of fabric rather than constructing clothing. A final thought. Apart from the environmental impact of this constant buy/return cycle - more packaging, more transport miles, more waste - how do these people have so much time for selfies? According to the latest stats from Google, 24 billion selfies were uploaded to their photo-sharing site in just one year (2016), doubtless mostly of the #OOTD variety. Well, I can top that. I buy not just the one outfit but a complete new wardrobe every day, snap it and send it back. The IKEA delivery guys are getting really pissed off, though...

Views of a Grumpy Old Man I WAS round at friend’s the other day and they have a youngish child who was being a little boisterous. Not naughty, just being a child basically and, all of a sudden, the mum said: “If you don’t behave you will have to go to your room.” Now, when I was a kid, this was definitely a punishment. In my room I had a bed and a wardrobe and maybe a few toys. I’ve seen this kid’s bedroom when we were shown round the house. Believe me, being sent there was not a punishment. There was a flat screen TV, Play Station speakers, headphones and a laptop. I know things change, but it’s becoming harder and harder for me to accept certain things. For instance, some youngsters can hardly write because everything is done on a keyboard. Then there is predictive text - who needs to learn how to spell? Here’s one for you - ask anyone under the age of 20 to tell you the time on a normal watch. You will be amazed at the amount that can’t. Why? Because all people do

LEGALLY SPEAKING Where will they pay tax? We own a property in Spain and for 30 years we registered at the local Hacienda as ‘Resident Non-Taxpayers.’ Every year we produced a tax certificate from our country of legal domicile, South Africa, and only paid tax on our property in Spain. In 2013 we were told by Hacienda that, if we were Resident in Spain, we had to pay Spanish taxes and claim back our tax from our country of origin.

Not so good AND now to insurance, there are many adverts on TV for comparison companies, but remember that can be a minefield as some promote the companies that give them a bigger commission. Then there is the dreaded small print. You think you are getting the same, or better deal. But I’ve found, when trying to sort my daughter’s car insurance out, that what initially looks like the same or better cover doesn’t quite turn out that way. When you go through the clauses you can sometimes be better off with the original, which at first appeared to be dearer. And if the decision on what life insurance to purchase is decided by Michael Parkinson giving you a free fountain pen, then I suggest you need to take a serious look at yourself. mikesenker@gmail.com

TV COUCH CRITIC

30 August - 5 September 2018

Do you need a bodyguard?

by Adam Whalley-Lewis WELL, it would seem that quite a few of us do if BBC1’s new prime time Sunday night thriller is anything to go by. Auntie trailed this one heavily, which doesn’t always guarantee a winner - Love Island? - but after an exhausting day on the Costa with lovely friends Linda and Gary, I sank into a thankfully air conditioned sofa on Sunday with a glass of blanco and wasn’t disappointed by the vino or the TV. The action and there is a lot of it, centres around Home Secretary Julia Montague, played impeccably by Keeley Hawes and a close protection officer, David Budd, who Richard Madden makes his own. Now, a little bit like Nuns who can count the number of Popes they have lived through, I can count quite a number of Home Office chiefs (from my former life) including an incident in a lift with a guide dog, the then Home Sec and a really big protection officer and I recognised some of what was going on. That said, as with most action thrillers, about a year of exciting stuff is obviously going to be packed into each episode. I’m not too sure we have ever had such a sexy chief at the Home Office either, male or female. If episode one grabbed you, the storyline going forward will keep you watching. We already

LETTERS FROM CANARIES By Barbara Belt barbarabelt@gmail.com SINCE the 15th century, when the Spanish took the Canaries as both a practice and way station for subsequent trans-Atlantic plundering adventures, the islands have been a bridge between Africa and the Old and New Worlds. The New World needed slaves, we’re close to Africa, the rest is history. Centuries later, oppressed Canarians migrated to the Americas. Many stayed - lots came and went. A musical melting pot is one of the more obvious results, making provincial capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the perfect venue for a recent revamp of the traditional bridge role. The recently held, second edition of the South Atlantic Performing Arts Market (Spanish initials MAPAS) morphed Santa Cruz into an international cultural showcase of some clout. Long may it last! Think state of the art performing arts and music trade fair, add networking, training and information exchange, and you’ve got it. Although performances were public, free and popular, the 56 acts from 16 countries were there to impress some 150 programmers, bookers and agents, who’d come from 40 countries to shop for festival and event acts. Musicians had 30-minute slots to strut their stuff, while dance, theatre and circus groups’ slots varied. Artistic, technical and organisation-

NEW THRILLER: Starring Keeley Hawes and Richard Madden. know that Julia has ambition to move from the Home Office to Downing Street (remind you of anyone?) and David is complex, to say the least. The action continues on BBC1, Sunday and of course on iPlayer. A quick thank you to everyone who has emailed me their thoughts and suggestions, keep them coming. Special mention to Michael

and his suggestion to petition ITV bosses about Brad speeding up his questions to the Chaser and to Caroline, who wants more suggestions for the week ahead, will see what I can do. Fans of Neighbours, Channel 5, weekdays, will no doubt be excited by the upcoming marriage of Aaron and David. A raft of Erinsborough dramas conspire to put a black cloud over

the big day, including one of the grooms not being able to walk, falling out with his future father-in-law (Paul Robinson) and a stand in celebrity celebrant. This same sex wedding is a TV first for an Australian show, never been done before on a show from down under. Maybe Skippy will put in a guest appearance? Sadly Ant won’t, as it seems Holly Willoughby is co-hosting I’m A Celebrity with Dec, what will Phil do without her? Nothing to do with the Jungle, but Naked Attraction is back on Channel 4, Fridays. I’ve no idea who the target audience are for this one. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a dating show, kind of Blind Date style, but everyone takes their clothes off and they all chat about, well you can guess. Clearly the viewing figures stack up, but I’m not sure just who is admitting they are watching! Looking ahead (Caroline this is for you) BBC1 are showing The King’s Speech on Friday night, this is a movie I would stay up to watch if you haven’t seen it, X-Factor is back on Saturday night and only because Caroline is a Marbella girl, I need to mention Gemma Collins: Diva Espana, ITVBE Sunday evening - only watch if you are a TOWIE fan or you call Marbella home. Happy Viewing. HappyViewing1@outlook.com

Cultural showcase brings in millions

CULTURAL MELTING POT: The event drew artists from 16 countries. al quality were keynotes thoughout. It was an impressive event. The pearl of waterside Santa Cruz is the Auditorio Adan Martin, designed by Santiago Calatrava. It has shimmered beautifully there in the sun since 2003. Many of the MAPAS gigs were there and evening audiences loved its outside venues.

Cava bubbling in the evening sun, waves splashing below, we were delighted by performers like Lornoar (Cameroon) - as a quick survey, to make sure it wasn’t just the cava, revealed: “Wonderful! We’re so lucky to be here!,” Dacil, 22, Tenerife. “I’m amazed. It’s like a really upmarket festival,” Liam, 27, UK.

“All these marvellous performers here from all over the world! Incredible!,” Carmen-Lola, 79, Tenerife. And so on. As well as performances, artists’ groups from the Canaries and 29 countries in Africa, Latin America and southern Europe met international cultural agents and programmers in pitch and networking sessions, workshops, round tables and conferences. At the inaugural conference, Miami University’s Prof. George Yudice said: “Nowadays, performing artists have to compete with increasing competition from the digital world. It’s vital not only to promote good artist/venue matching, but also to help performing artists thrive in these conditions.” Performers and programmers alike agreed that MAPAS was: “A great new initiative,” Katja Somrak, programmer, Slovenia. “It’s been marvellous, very worthwhile. We’ve had appointments with lots of bookers, met a lot of people and enjoyed Tenerife,” Ana Rodriguez, Troker (Mexico)’s minder.

OPINION & COMMENT

YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE - YOUR OPINION Letters should be emailed to yoursay@euroweeklynews.com or make your comments on our website: www.euroweeklynews.com DEAR Editor, A large area of waste ground in front of my apartment block was sanded over and used as a parking area for the recent Torre del Mar air fair. Now that it’s over, it is a dog litter tray. Men, women and children let their dogs run free on it so they can poop on it, then take their dogs away when they have done their business. Time to chip all dogs so that these criminals can be heavily fined for such anti-social behaviour. Dog poop carries numerous diseases and you can bet that any fly that lands on your food or face has been on some dog poop very recently. And fine the owner of any dog not chipped. Michael Hill

Anti-social behaviour Caring councils

Airport closed HI, I’d just like to say how disappointed I am about San Javier airport closing, as the alternative Corvera is 34 kilometres further on. I for one will never use it, San Javier was making money and busy. Why on earth didn’t they put the military over to Corvera, it would have been out of the way, but no. Again money spent on this monstrosity which nobody wanted and they could have extended San Javier. Roy Wallace

HAVE YOUR SAY

Views expressed and opinions given are not necessarily those of the EWN publishers. No responsibility is accepted for accuracy of information, errors, omissions or statements.

HAVING read your article (Our View, Well done Councils) please, please tell me where these caring councils are who look after residents. I live in the lovely town of Catral renowned not for its beauty but its history of corruption and illegal building on a large scale!! The very rich ex-mayor and many other agencies lined their pockets, though this was 16 years ago those activities are still impacting on residents of Catral in a big way The mayor of Catral whom I am sure is a very caring person unfortunately has little more power to help than a dog with rubber teeth as Valencia Council took his real power away. In 2007 many residents were served with demolition orders on their homes, can you even begin to imagine the heartache and worry that caused, we are now in the year 2018 and yes although these orders are suspended they are still registered against our properties, some residents do not even know they have them till they try to sell their houses All attempts to resolve this awful situation have failed. Top solicitors, estate agents, residents have all been totally ignored by Valencia who refuse to discuss the matter with anyone and are sitting on these orders even though they

All letters by email or post should carry the writer’s address, NIE and contact number though only the name and town will be published.

ILLEGAL BUILDINGS: Many residents were served with demolition orders. could not demolish nor intend to demolish any of the houses. Ailing health, ageing and financial problems are effecting many of us who are retired and need to sell our houses which as you can imagine is nye on impossible until these orders are lifted. The heartache goes on and despite what you think about caring councils nobody seems to care about the forgotten residents of Catral. Maybe your paper could give some thought about the other face of the caring councils which I am sure are not exclusive to Catral. Thank you and I hope I have touched a caring nerve somewhere.

I totally agree HI Leapy, I have just read your article ‘Are our values being threatened’ in this week’s Euro Weekly and I had to write to say that I agreed with every word you wrote. What is it with us British that as soon as someone speaks his mind particularly about people from the Muslim community, that they are somehow branded as being racist??? We have always prided ourselves on having free speech in the UK but this seems to be being eroded. Thank goodness there are still people like yourself who are happy to speak up for what I am sure is the great majority of us Brits. Always enjoy your column. Thanks Gill Chapman (Benalmadena)

EU departure DEAR Editor, I write into your paper occasionally, with views on the subject of the UK leaving the EU as it affects UK nationals who are TAX resident in Spain ( not to be [frequently] confused with part timers and holidaymakers) Today I see in the Irish papers that the Central Bank is trying to find a way of enabling UK state and private pensions to be paid into pensioners’ euro accounts, in the event that capital and financial services will not be included in any ‘deal’ and worryingly this disastrous idea of walking away with no deal at all. There are about 135,000 UK state pensioners tax resident in the Republic of Ireland. Private pensions added raises this figure to 150,000 (UK gov figures). These are very largely people on fixed incomes - much like the majority of UK pensioners resident in Spain (110,000) but I see no move to encourage people to talk about this, and, really prepare for any eventuality. All I hear is ‘it will sort itself out somehow,’ ‘it will be all right in the end,’ ‘wait and see what happens.’ Would there be any way of trying to get all the information in one place - reliable, verifiable as to what exactly do pensioners need in order to minimise the disruption and expense this exit is most likely to produce, and would a media project to stimulate this be worthwhile in the public interest and - an element of the media public service information responsibility? Included would be all the essential elements of EU citizenship, and adherence to the laws of the host country, eg - all financial contracts, the EHIC, driving licences, ownership of vehicles, etc, etc and, what being a citizen of a third country would mean in each category.

HEALTH BEAUTY

ALMOST two in five workers are suffering from stress and anxiety. According to a survey conducted by Behaviour and Attitudes, mental health issues are now the most common illness in the workplace. In fact, it suggests that these health conditions have pushed cancer and back pain into second and third place for illnesses among staff. Some 38 per cent of employees say they are under stress, according to the survey which was commissioned by Friends First and conducted by B&A. It found cancer in second place with 33 per cent of workers citing it, followed by chronic back pain, which is suffered by 32 per cent of workers. Almost half of under-35s say they have taken extended sick leave of a week or more due to stress or anxiety. While four out of 10 surveyed say they have taken extended sick leave due to an accident or illness. The average sick leave period was 14 weeks. H o w e v e r, a quarter of employ-

Update on food, drink, entertainments, what’s on and weekly happenings

One town that promises to please THE Almuñecar Council is proud of the fact that alongside Barcelona, London and Paris it has been voted as one of the top 50 ‘Social Cities’ in the world by the users of minube. Basically, this means that it offers a friendly welcome to visitors and has plenty of entertainment and attractions for them to enjoy during their stay. True to this, there are three interesting events taking place in the town during September. Firstly this Saturday (tomorrow) and Sunday, Outworlds SKS a comics and video-games festival will be held in the Parque Majuelo, which is open from 9.30am until 9pm each day. Although this could well be an interesting event which includes Cosplay and workshops, neither the council nor the organisers have issued a great deal of information about actual events or ticket cost. On Monday at 10pm there will be a concert of classical music at the nearby Roman Aqueduct which will welcome the Joven Orquesta Mediterránea (Mediterranean

Taking place at the Playa de Levante, entrance is free and also appearing will be four-piece band El Regreso de la Decada whose two boys and two girls perform a series of best loved Spanish pop from the 60’s to the present. They will appear at 9.30pm, rap and reggaeton artist Dellafuente will appear at 11pm and then three DJs will close the night with a selection of different music guaranteed to keep the neighbours awake.

This week: Everyone’s favourite - Vitamin C

OLD FAVOURITE: Chilli con Carne. 125ml red wine 2 whole beef stock cubes 2 teaspoons ground cumin 500 grams cherry tomatoes; halved 3 teaspoons black peppercorn, freshly ground 2 teaspoons salt 1 can red kidney beans, drained and washed juice of 4 whole limes 1 whole, large green pepper; chopped 1 large bunch of cilantro; finely chopped 2 tablespoons cream cheese 250 grams red Leicester cheese; grated 8 tortillas. Place onion, garlic, red chilli and ground beef in frying pan.

Dry fry until beef browned and other ingredients cooked through. Add red wine, beef stock, cumin and simmer for 10 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes salt and black pepper and cook to reduce until sauce thickened. Add the red kidney beans and simmer for another 10 minutes Add lime juice and simmer for two more minutes, add cilantro, stir once. Check and add seasoning if necessary. Place tortillas on to a lightly oiled oven tin, place chilli con carne on one half of each tortilla, place cream cheese on top, followed by the red Leicester. Fold the tortilla to enclose the chilli/cheese mix. Place in an oven, pre-heated to 200 Celsius (fan oven), 180 Celsius (no-fan) for 10 minutes. Serve. Hint: Substitute red or yellow peppers for the green, or any combination. Tip: To avoid wasting unused chilli peppers, place in a shallow bowl in the sunshine until they dry out completely and then store in a sealed jar. Use scissors to cut them when they are needed and add to the sauce to rehydrate them.

Cause for alarm LOCKING up the house and checking security alarms are set are routine procedures in most homes. But how often do we check our smoke detectors? Lives have been lost because the batteries were dead (or had been removed to stop false alarms) or the device was past its useful life or installed where occupants couldn’t hear the alarm. It’s really simple to test your smoke detectors to make sure they’re working. Just press the test button and the alarm should sound. If it’s a batterypowered alarm and doesn’t sound off, change the battery and retest it. If it’s a hardwired unit and doesn’t work, replace it immediately. If they do sound off, check the date on the label so you’ll know when to schedule replacements. Smoke detectors are good for only 10 years, and some let you know they’re due for replacement with an end-of-life chirping sound. But others provide no warning at all, they die in silence, leaving you totally unprotected. According to DIY experts at a leading handyman publication, there are two things to check before you buy re-

placements. Firstly, are the detectors hardwired? Rotate the detector body to release it from its base and pull it away from the wall. If there are wires, it’s a hardwired detector and must be replaced with another hardwired unit. Do not replace a hardwired detector with a battery-powered detector. Secondly, are your detectors interconnected? Hardwired interconnected smoke detectors all sound at the same time, even if only one detector senses a fire. You can tell if they’re interconnected by counting the number of wires in the detector’s electrical box. Knowing whether yours are inter-

connected or not will help you buy the right replacement units. Hardwired and battery-powered wireless interconnected detectors communicate with one another via radio frequency (RF) signalling (not your home’s wifi). So you can retrofit your existing hardwired non-interconnected detectors with wireless interconnected units and even add new wireless detectors to build a safer fire detection system, all without running any new wires. If your home already has hardwired interconnected detectors and you want to add more battery-powered detectors, replace one of the hardwired in-

terconnected detectors with a bridge unit. Then install battery-powered wireless interconnected detectors. If you have any non-interconnected battery-powered detectors, replace them with the newer batterypowered wireless interconnected style. Dual-sensor technology is apparently the best choice for bedrooms. Almost 90 per cent of all homes are outfitted with an ionization-type smoke detector which respond best to fast-moving, flaming fires and are cheaper than photoelectric units. But since you never know what type of fire you’ll encounter, all fire experts now recommend installing both sensing technologies on each level in your home and in all sleeping areas. For kitchen and hallway locations

near bath areas, stick with photoelectric detectors which can handle steam and cooking smoke without triggering false alarms. Talking alarms tell you where the fire is. Some new models allow you to program the location of each detector. So if one of the programmed detectors senses a fire, all detectors announce the fire’s location in a clear prerecorded voice. That way you can choose the fastest and safest evacuation route. And wifi-enabled units and smart device apps allow you to monitor your home from anywhere. Stick a piece of tape on the back of the smoke detector and write down the installation date. Replace it 10 years from that date.

FOR a number of years I, Peter Harrison and many of my friends in the canine industry have been pushing for legislation to stop people profiting from breeding with sick mothers and allowing bitches to be lifelong involved, to breed puppies.

It is proposed that only licensed organisations like registered refuge centres breeders. It will be illegal to sell a kitten or puppy unless the mother is seen and that the kittens and pups know their mother and be interacting. The sale of puppies and kittens without their mother present will be banned in a bid to end the ‘disturbing’ trade of animals bred in puppy farms, Theresa May has announced. The new legislation will require all sellers including charitable shelters to show potential buyers the puppies alongside their mothers be-

MOTORING FACT SEAT is on course for a record year after it recorded its highest ever sales figures for the first six months of the year. The Spanish carmaker’s global deliveries went up by 17.6 per cent to reach a total volume of 289,900 vehicles. This figure represents an increase of more than 43,000 cars compared to the same period in 2017 and breaks the record set in 2000 of 278,500. In June, SEAT again sold more than 50,000 vehicles in one month (51,400), which is 13.7 per cent more than the 45,200 sold in the same period in 2017. According to SEAT Vice-president for Marketing and Sales, Wayne Griffiths: “In the first six months of 2018 we experienced a surge in growth beyond our initial expectations. After growing nearly 15 per cent in 2017, this year we are exceeding this figure thanks to the boost given by the new Arona. We are also confident for the second half of the year, when we plan to launch the CUPRA, Ateca and the SEAT Tarraco, which will expand

LIVERPOOL make the trip to the East Midlands to face Leicester on Saturday secure in the knowledge they have the main man when it comes to goals and assists. Mohammed Salah - who scored the winner in their last match against Brighton - has been directly involved in 45 Premier league goals since the start of last season. His 34 goals and 11 assists is 12 more than anyone else. For their part Leicester won for the first time in seven matches after going behind. Harry Macguire scored the winner in added time. Sitting in second place in the table Chelsea, who are behind Liverpool on goal difference, beat Rafa Benitez’s Newcastle 1-2 away. This meant new boss Maurizio Sarri became the fifth Chelsea manager to win his first three Premier League matches in charge. The others were Jose Mourinho, Gus Hiddinck, An-

Arsenal, who finally broke their duck with a 3-1 win over West Ham after losing to Manchester City and Chelsea, head to Wales to play Cardiff on Sunday. West Ham’s Issa Diop will hope for better luck in his match against Wolves. He became the eighth Premier League player to score an own goal on debut. On the other hand Wolves will have had a confidence boost after they held champions Manchester City to a 1-1 draw. Manchester United head for Burnley looking to get their season on track, while Tottenham are away to Burnley both games are being played on Sunday.

Barca survive VAR scare

WINNER: Dembélé scored the winner. BARCELONA face newly promoted Huesca on Sunday as they aim to keep their 100 per cent record going. So far the Catalan team have seen off Alaves 3-0 and followed that win with a 0-1 result away from home against Valladolid. Ousmane Dembélé scored the only goal and Luis Suarez had another chalked off for offside as newly promoted Valladolid gave the reigning champions a scare. They thought they had equalised, only for a header by Keko to be disallowed for offside when reviewed by VAR. Barcelona will be back home

for their next match and will be hoping they are not as difficult to break down as Valladolid were. Real Madrid sit on top of the table on goal difference from Barcelona, and will also be playing at home, this time to Leganes. Madrid are brimful of confidence after beating Girona 1-4 away, with Kenzema scoring a brace. Gareth Bale knocked in one and Sergio Ramos another as the club showed they can live without Cristiano Ronaldo. Atletico Madrid will hope to follow up their first win of the league season with one on the road as they head to Celta Vigo

on Saturday. An Antoine Griezmann goal was enough to see off bottom of the table Rayo Vallecano in their last match. Sevilla meanwhile have a tough assignment if they are to hang on to third spot. They have started the season with an impressive 1-4 win away to Rayo Vallecano, but followed that up with a disappointing 0-0 home draw against Villareal. On Sunday they cross the city for the big derby game against Real Betis. The latter may only have one point so far this season, but they are guaranteed to put up a fight against their local rivals.

WINNER: Rohan Dennis won the opening time trial.

La Vuelta returns… LA VUELTA (Tour of Spain) cycling race started this week in Malaga before heading off into the Costa del Sol. Rohan Dennis (BMC) won the opening time trial, beating Team Sky’s Michal Kwiatkowski into second place by six seconds with Victor Campenaerts (Lotto-Soudal) third. Although short - the flat course was just eight kilometres long - it gave cycling enthusiasts the chance to see their heroes at close quarters. Sunday saw the teams start off from Marbella on a course that took them to the Caminito del Rey in El Chorro. Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) out-sprinted Kwiatkowski to take the stage having overhauled earlier attacker Laurens De Plus

(Quick-Step Floors) who came in third. The cyclist stayed on the Costa del Sol for stage three, racing from Mijas to Alhaurin de la Torre, before heading off east of Malaga. Stage four started in Velez-Malaga and went on to Sierra de la Alfaguara. Next up was the Granada to Roquetas de Mar route as stage five, before today’s (Thursday) Huercal-Overa to San Javier stage. Tomorrow cycling enthusiasts can view the riders on the Puerto Lumbreras (Murcia) to Pozo Alcon (Jaen) stage. Saturday sees the tour going from Linares to Almaden as the riders head further inland and up to northern Spain and Andorra in the coming weeks.

Alonso’s McLaren was sent flying through the air when he was shunted from behind on the opening lap of the Belgian Grand Prix and landed on top of Charles Leclerc’s Sauber. The halo, which has drawn criticism from some quarters for its looks, took the brunt of the impact and deflected the force of the impact away from Leclerc’s head. Pictures from the incident show scrape marks on the cockpit protection device. Although no one can know what would have happened without the halo, there is a real possibility Leclerc could have been badly hurt or killed in the incident. As it was he walked away unharmed from
