COSTA DEL SOL
YOUR PAPER, YOUR VOICE, YOUR OPINION
FIRE STRUCK A DOZEN homes had to be evacuated after flames swirled round a Costa del Sol urbanisation. And in a busy night for the emergency services 50 people had to be ushered to safety from a block of flats in Estepona when a blaze started in an apartment. Fire struck in the pine woods at La Arquita, in the Sierra Crestellina (Casares), leading to four homes in Arroyo Hondo and six in Celima, having to be abandoned temporarily on Tuesday night. One man took refuge in his swimming pool until firefighters arrived to rescue him. Forestry firefighting service Infoca mobilised 120 firefighters who fought through the night to bring the blaze under control, which they succeeded in doing by Wednesday (yesterday) morning. Many of them had already had to fight a fire in woodland near Estepona, which was extinguished earlier that night. The Casares fire started around 7pm and was declared a level one emergency at 8.50pm on Tuesday. Initially six aircraft and 35 firefighters were used to combat the flames.
FIRE STRUCK: In the pine woods around Casares. When the aircraft had to withdraw at nightfall extra firefighters were sent in to continue the operation on land. Meanwhile a fire broke out in the apartment block in Avenida San Lorenzo, Estepona, at about 11pm. The 50 residents were evacuated as a precaution, with a 54-year-old man needing treatment for smoke inhalation. Firefighters of the Provincial Consortium of Malaga, National Police, Local Police, Civil Protection and ambulances raced to the scene where the decision was made to evacuate the building. The residents spent the night with relatives or in hotels, reported Civil Protection.

Gold in the rubbish WHERE there’s muck, there’s brass. In the case of the C a s a re s rubbish plant €35,000 a year of it. This is the value of coins and jewellery that the waste disposal facility finds annually. It is one of only four plants in the country that has machinery capable of sorting valuables out of the 350,000 tons of waste it processes each year. Plant management says they find €20,000 worth of coins - mostly 10 cent pieces - and another €15,000 of jewellery that has been thrown out with the rubbish. All the valuables found go through a rigorous cleaning process. The coins are sent to the Bank of Spain.

CAPTIVATING: Morning mist rolls through the El Tajo Gorge in Ronda.
STUNNING RONDA Photographer Jordan Hammond has beautifully captured the beauty of Mother Nature against the spectacular Ronda backdrop. MORNING mist lies at the bottom of the El Tajo gorge that carves its way through the Spanish town, carrying the waters of the Rio Guadalevin, with the Puente Nuevo bridge spanning the 100m chasm below. Ronda sits in the Malaga Province around 40 minutes north of Marbella, sandwiched between the Sierra de Grazalema and the Sierra de las Nievas, both UNESCO biosphere reserves.
Originating from Moorish rule, the El Tajo Gorge separates the 15th century ‘new town’ and the Moorish ‘old town.’ At the heart of the old town sits the Plaza del Toros, a beautiful reminder of the town’s rich bullfighting history where once a year, Feria Goyesca celebrates the age old tradition. Across the bridge sits a myriad of cobbled streets and stunning town man-
sions still belonging to the town’s dignitaries, a highlight of which is the Palacio Mondragón. Modernised in part during the 1960s, it still contains working vestiges of the miniature water gardens dating from its time as a Moorish Palace. The pedestrianised ‘high street’ contains everything that both locals and tourists could ask for, with a mix of modern amenities mixed with traditional craft shops and local wares.
Bank drama
Gangster caught
THE streets of Estepona resembled a police thriller when a bank robbery was foiled. At around 2.05pm last Thursday, National Police were alerted to an attempted robbery with violence at a branch of La Caixa located on Avenida de Andalucia. Police rapidly deployed a large group of armed officers who surrounded the bank with weapons drawn. Once surrounded, the bank manager started to mediate between the police officers and the robbers. In videos recorded by passers-by the manager can be seen re-entering the premises. Shortly afterwards two men come out and lay on the floor, following police orders. At that moment, several policemen take charge of the robbers, while others entered the bank to make sure none were hiding inside. According to sources, the two men entered the branch dressed as delivery messengers, minutes before closing.
A MAN linked to one of the most active organised crime groups in Ceuta has been arrested in Puerto Banus. He is the brother of the leader of a network that was engaged in trafficking hashish and was involved in a vicious turf war for control of the enclave’s criminal underground. Police allege the arrested man was in charge of directing the war and ordered attacks and extortion on his brother’s gang’s rivals. He is wanted by two courts in Ceuta and had a warrant for arrest and detention in force against him. An investigation had begun after several violent incidents in Ceuta, with police identifying the two brothers as allegedly behind the enclave’s drugs trade. Last August, police arrested three members of the organisation in Casares, including the brother of the now arrested man who, after being sentenced to prison, had been on the run.

Beer trouble SPAN ISH troops who were snapped having a beer in full uniform with automatic weapons slung at their sides are being investigated. The Ronda-based Spanish Legionnaires are not in trouble for displaying their automatic rifles at a roadside cafe, but rather for having a beer while in uniform. The group was photographed drinking beers at a Catalan bar, which led to a social media storm
and Catalan politicians weighing in about the display of firearms. The troops were returning to Ronda after an exercise in France. Normally their weapons would have been left on the bus under guard. But it has been reported that in this instance it was decided the soldiers would keep their weapons which were not loaded with them, as the buses had to move for refuelling.
Doctor intimidation THERE has been another case of an emergency room doctor being threatened and intimidated. In the latest of a series of incidents the doctor was only saved from being physically assaulted at Malaga’s Hospital Clinical by the rapid action of a security guard. The health worker has reported the incident, which involved a psychiatric patient, to hospital authorities and the National Police. Health workers’ union CSIF has expressed its concern about the high rate of aggressive incidents against public
health workers in Malaga. It has denounced a lack of adequate facilities, arguing that “these deficiencies, coupled with a chronic lack of staff in the emergency room, complicate actions that can be taken in violent situations such as that experienced this Monday.” In a statement the union added that the health ser vice should adapt its Plan of Aggressions to take into account individual health centre architecture, so that workers can be quickly evacuated to a place of safety when needed.

EWN takes the jump for Age Concern’s 3rd annual challenge IN the past the charity has completed a sponsored Skydive from 15,000 feet - the highest possible without oxygen - and last year flew across the Longest Zipline in Europe at 80 k/ph. That was from Spain to Portugal. This week and closer to home the charity and volunteers abseiled down the iconic Sunset Beach Hotel in Benalmadena. Obvious question. Why would normally sane people do something like this? Simply to raise much needed funds and public awareness for a charity that provides advice, help, support and friendship to the older English-speaking communities in Fuengirola, Mijas and Benalmadena.
Loneliness and isolation are a burden that a lot of older people accept as a normal part of the ageing process. Age Concern does not believe that and with many years of life left, want to make sure that its clients live every minute to the fullest. Yesterday (Wednesday) saw a total of 17 ‘brave fools’ go to the very top of the Hotel and slowly inch their way down. The atmosphere was charged with tension (or possibly fear) as it took two hours to bring everyone down safely. The EWN team, led by Steven Euesden who is clearly a hands-on Director, were some of the first ‘Challengers’ to rope down the building and are already looking forward to next year’s challenge. Other participants included representatives from Age Concern Fuengirola, Mijas and Benalmadena, U3A (University of the 3rd Age) and a number of sponsored private individuals. Thanks to the organisation of Tuur Canyoning and their Director Jose Moreno, and the attention to detail from Tommy Marshall on behalf of Sunset Beach, this event was a great success.

At the forefront MALAGA University’s campus is at the forefront in trials for a world-leading electric bus system. Buses on the 2.5-kilometre, 12minute, route, which carries 150,000 passengers a year, can now give their batteries a top-up at the final stop. Metal contacts lower from the bus onto recharging points set into the tarmac giving a quick charge of between two and five minutes, meaning the timetable is not disrupted. It means the bus can stay on the roa d longe r a nd a ls o re duc e s the amount of batteries it needs to carry, leading to cost and efficiency savings. The system is safe for other road users, with the mechanism only coming into operation when the bus is halted in the correct place. Wireless technology detects the contacts being lowered and a protective mesh rises to cover the operation.

Threat to homes plan by Dilip Kuner A DECREE regularising the situation of up to 60,000 homes in Malaga Province has run into opposition. Many people welcome the move that will end the uncertainty faced by the homes’ owners, but environmental group Gena-Ecologistas in Action has criticised what it calls an amnesty for properties that were built on non-building land. They are now studying the Junta de Andalucia regional government decree to see if it contravenes other laws in order to be able to appeal against it. The decree could be applicable to 327,583 dwellings built throughout Andalucia on land not zoned for housing. Owners of these houses will have to take the first step and ask their local council to abide by this regulation. Houses built in protected areas such as national parks, within 100 metres of coastline or where demolition orders have been confirmed by the courts are not covered by the decree. But it is hoped that it will remove the fear of demolition for the vast majority of the properties affected. In the past several houses have been knocked

The compensation process can take years to get through the courts. The regulations allow for groups of houses to become urbanisations without
being on the official urban development plans (PGOU). Up until now this was not possible and it could take up to nine years to be included. Instead they will be able to be included on a special development plan, which takes about 20 months. This will allow them to access basic services such as electricity and water supplies.

Hidralia, the company that manages the supply network in Estepona is alerting townspeople and residents further afield on the Costa del Sol, saying its workers do not enter people’s homes, either to repair leaks or make inspections. But it has had reports of people wearing similar clothing approaching householders. “These people try to access the interior of the house under the pretext of repairing a water leak and checking the pipes,” warned
Hidralia in a statement. It added that possible internal leaks are detected by the difference between meter readings. If there is higher than normal consumption, the company notifies households via a letter. The statement added that internal leaks are the responsibility of the owners, not Hidralia, which is why they do not enter the premises. People should not let ‘water inspectors’ into their homes and should notify police, the statement concluded.

Labour chiefs have been in talks with other opposition groups over a plan to put an interim Prime Minister in place to guarantee an extension to the Brexit negotiations in the event of no-deal.

Deal hopes ‘non-starter’
PLANS leaked this week that Brexit negotiators hoped would be a deal clincher have been rejected as a ‘non-starter.’ The proposals to break the Irish backstop deadlock were to be announced after the Tory Party Conference but have been revealed by the Irish state broadcaster RTE. Brexit secretary Stephen Barclay met with Brussels’ chief negotiator Michel Barnier last Friday and afterwards said the
Government was ‘exploring’ the extent of the political will in Brussels to make an agreement. The Irish backstop intended to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic has already been rejected three times by Parliament. Proposals now being put forward include introducing customs clearance zones which have been flatly rejected by the Ireland’s Deputy Prime Minister Simon Coveney as a ‘non-starter.’

sition groups were sure to win. Downing Street tried to have Parliament sent into recess during this week’s Conservative Party Conference in Manchester but the bid failed. A no-confidence vote would have forced the Tories to abandon their conference and return to Westminster to support their leader. The Prime Minister last week goaded the opposition to call a no-confidence vote after judges declared his suspension of Parliament in the run up to the Brexit deadline as unlawful. Parliament was swiftly recalled, but Boris Johnson was unapologetic and invited the opposition to put the question to the public with a vote of noconfidence and a General Election. The opposition see forcing Boris Johnson out of office as the only way to guarantee that legislation passed in Parliament to prevent a no-deal Brexit will be honoured. The Prime Minister has confirmed that he will never ask for an extension to the deadline and promised that the UK will walk away from Europe on October 31 with or without a deal.
Brexit demo DEMONSTRATORS draped in European flags greeted Tory conference delegates in Manchester. Police were preparing for tens of thousands to attend rallies in the city. The theme of the party conference is ‘Get Brexit done.’

He predicted that, while these difficulties will pass: “The damage to our democracy in not getting Brexit done would endure, and resound, for much longer.”

Fake hams for sale CONSUMERS’ association Facua has filed a complaint against a food distributor saying it is passing off Polish ham as Spanish. It says that Comapa is selling the Polish product under the brand Trevedul, seeking to relate it to the town of Trevelez in Granada, which is famous for its hams. The brand is widely distributed in Malaga Province supermarkets. The complaint, filed with the Directorate General of Consumer Affairs of the Community of Madrid, also calls for penalties proportionate to the size of the ‘fraud’ and illicit profits obtained. Facua points out that on the labelling of the hams marketed under the Trevedul brand the following information appears: ‘Natural ham: Sierra Nevada,’ ‘Cured white ham bodega: Cured ham from Granada Trevedul’ and ‘Cured white ham reserva: Cured ham reservaTrevedul.’ On the ham itself, however, the registration number of the slaughterhouse where the animal from which the product came was slaughtered is printed, beginning with PL corresponding to the international code that identifies Poland.

from the market. Facua had denounced Comapa last March for selling hams also from Poland under the brand name Jamones Sierra Alpujarra, incorrectly identifying this product as originating in the Granada region. The company has also eliminated this brand.

after completing the Norwegian sentence. The expat couple lied to friends in Guardamar del Segura near Alicante where they lived and were the ‘life and soul of local bars’ and members of a golf club, by telling they had served time in prison for cigarette smuggling. Lead judge Margarida Alves told the couple: “We are totally convinced you knew the contents of these four cases. You did what you did not because you are drug consumers, but because you wanted to make an easy profit.”
THE number of jobs created in Spain last month is at its lowest since 2013. Although overall new employment figures rose by 3,224 since August, the figure sits well below previous years and is only just higher than in 2013 when the country was in a crippling recession. In total, registered unemployment rose by 13,907 compared to this time last year, bringing the total recorded unemployed in the country to 3,079,711. And figures released by the Ministry of Labour also confirm that the economy is slowing down. The number of individuals signed up for social security has grown by 460,739 people, 2.44 per cent more than 2018. Although this seems a strong increase, the figures are still the lowest they have been in six years in terms of new candidates. Data also showed that in total there are 19.32 million social security contributors in the country.

Busier than ever ANDALUCIA has had its best ever August in terms of tourism. Data from the Ministry of Tourism shows that hotels in the region dealt with a total of 7.6 million overnight stays in the month, which is 5 per cent more than in August 2018.

Donating blood in Spain LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics. In Spain, Blood Components and Services are provided by 17 Regional Blood Transfusion Services. Despite their autonomous operations management, every regional service is fully incorporated into a unique and common Public National Health System, supplying a cohesive blood transfusion care to all citizens, residents, and visitors in Spain based on 100 per cent voluntary and non-remunerated blood donation. For more general information, visit www.msps.es. Anyone who has lived continuously in the UK between 1980 and 1996 (a minimum of one year) will not be able to donate blood in Spain due to the risk of transmitting mad cow disease. Similarly, there are restrictions if you have received a blood transfer in the UK. However, each region may have different rules about donation. Call the donation helpline on 935 573 500. Alternatively, visit www.donorsang.gencat.cat to find out if you are eligible. If you are eligible, you can give blood at your local hospital, or via the Spanish Red Cross (Cruz Roja) at one of their clinics, or in one of their mobile units. You can check dates and locations by visiting www.donarsangre.org. A donor card is not necessary to give blood. On the first visit you will have to provide DNI, NIE, passport or a driving licence. If you are already registered in the Blood Bank, you only need a donor card or a document with your name and surname. The process of blood donation takes just 10 minutes in which 450 ml are collected (equating to 10 per cent of the total blood circulation of an adult person). Despite huge technological advances, the only way for hospitals to obtain blood is through the generosity of the public. The blood is carefully screened for disease to make sure it is safe. After a tattoo, you must wait four months to be eligible to donate. After surgery, the exclusion period will depend on the type of intervention. After minor surgical procedures, you cannot donate blood for seven days or until you are fully recovered. After undergoing major surgery, you will not be able to donate blood for four months. The rarest blood type is AB, present in 1 per cent of Caucasians, according to research by the America Red Cross. Blood transfusions are carried out daily in Spanish hospitals with more than 6,200 patients being given them, of whom almost a quarter are fighting cancer and a similar figure receiving transfusions during or after surgery. Spain has around two million donors in total, but needs closer to four million. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

Pozuelo de Alarcon, which borders the Moncloa-Aravaca neighbourhood of Madrid City, boasts an average income of €72,899, according to Tax Agency income tax declarations figures for 2017 published this week. This puts typical income in the fashionable district at six times above the €11,480 average in the municipality sitting at the other end of the scale, Zahinos in Badajoz.

Scammer lacks attention
ATOCHA STATION: Where the clueless con artist was outsmarted by a group of tourists.
A CON artist got more than he bargained for when he tried to scam a free ticket from tourists at Atocha station in the heart of Madrid. A local man overheard the conversation in which the scammer tried to explain to a group of tourists that he had lost his ticket and wallet and needed money to get back to Valladolid (Castilla y León). Suspicious of the man’s motives, the tourists questioned him on which river runs through the centre of Valladolid, to which he
replied, the Ebro. The actual river that runs through the town is the Pisuerga, not the Ebro. The tourists also pointed out that the AVE train to Valladolid doesn’t leave from Atocha but in fact from the Chamartin station across town. The commuter, who witnessed the interaction, wrote of his experience in a Twitter post under the username @Gauginaepicuro, adding: ‘And that, kids, is why you should pay attention to geography at school.’

TOO SLOW: Police can’t keep up with people smugglers.
Fast ferry to Spain by Dilip Kuner POLICE have so far been unable to catch a speed launch that would appear to have set up a ferry service for illegal immigrants. National Police suspect it has brought hundreds of people to beaches in Estepona and Sotogrande. It is so powerful it can make the crossing in just 30 minutes. The price of a ticket is between €3,000 and €4,000. National Police have spotted it crossing the Strait of Gibraltar and even laid in wait for it at Sotogrande. On spotting police it simply sped
off and disembarked its cargo of migrants at Estepona before heading back to North Africa. Police could not keep up with it. The police say that the boat, “like so many others of that type used by drug traffickers,” was probably acquired by the criminal organisation in Galicia, where there are several companies that manufacture them. In October 2018, the government approved a royal decree banning these so-called ‘narcolanchas’ from the Spanish coast after verifying that the mafias were using them not only for the transport of drugs, but also for the illicit trafficking of people.

The precise details of the accident have not yet been disclosed, but the young man reportedly went for a swim following a long day of walking under the harsh Spanish sun. It seems that the young victim got into difficulty while in the water and was later discovered in an unresponsive state before being brought to shore. Despite efforts to resuscitate the young man, he was tragically pronounced dead a short time later. His remains have been transferred to a local hospital ahead of a post-mortem examination due to be carried out by a Spanish coroner. The man is from Cork but also has ties in Kerry.

TV let off the hook FRAN CO’S grandchildren cannot sue over alleged slurs on their grandfather’s reputation, a judge ruled. Gonzalo Salgado, an investigating judge in Alcobendas (Madrid), said the plaintiffs had no legitimate grounds for objecting to Los papeles secretos de Franco (Franco’s secret papers), a documentary shown on the La Sexta television channel last November. They hoped to sue the Galician investigator Carlos Babio, whose 22 years of research into Franco’s fortune was to back the government’s claim that Franco’s summer residence Pazo de Meiras was state property. Writer Mariano Sanchez Soler, the director general of
Atresmedia Television, Javier Bardaji, several television journalists and the documentary’s director also faced prosecution. The seven grandchildren claimed that the programme insulted the late dictator Francisco Franco and repeated ‘untrue affirmations’ that ‘defamed and discredited’ them. ‘On a €95,000 salary, how could he leave more than €500,000?’ the programme asked, although the judge pointed out that Franco’s estate went to his widow and only daughter, not to them. The question was generic, said Salgado concluding that the family was not entitled to prosecute as they were not ‘directly offended’ by the ‘cited offences.’

This was all about sustainable fishing and respect for the sea, but was also an enjoyable challenge for those 50 plus anglers

There was a €20 registration fee and as a novel extra charge, each participant was asked to bring one kilo of non-perishable food which could then be passed to a local charity assisting those in need.

CARLOS HERNÁNDEZ: Many attended the tournament in his honour.
A rare Adoptive Son declared A LARGE audience of friends and well-wishers turned up at a memorial handball tournament at Maravillas College held in honour of the late president of the local handball association who died last April. A few days later, the mayor of Benalmadena Victor Navas announced that for the first time in many years, the town would name a new Adoptive Son of Benalmadena and this honour was to be bestowed upon Carlos Hernández. Mr Hernández moved to the town from Madrid in 1973 to become a teacher at the Mar-
avillas School and when in 1975, it ran into financial difficulty, he and a number of colleagues remained true to their students and helped to make the college a success which is the envy of many other municipalities. He then went on to found the Sports Association Maravillas Benalmadena which promotes the sport of handball and has seen many successes during its 25 years of existence. The decision to grant this title to Carlos Hernández was carried unanimously in the Council Chamber and his passion for the school, education and sports will be greatly missed.

Our Lady of Rosario AS a prelude to the Rosario Fair which will take Fuengirola by storm from October 6 to 12, last Sunday saw the formal procession of the statue of Our Lady of the Rosary in the El Esparragal park. Although that park sits within the Mijas boundaries, there has been a longstanding agreement between the two councils for the pilgrimage to take place there. All went without any problems and a large and colourful crowd took part in what has now become a historic event of importance to the town as the pilgrimage covered seven kilometres. The actual fair will as usual see a wide selection of entertainment with children being able to enjoy a late night or two and parents an even later night.

Horrific surprise in mystery box A WOMAN was arrested after leaving a box with a friend in Castro Urdiales (Cantabria). Some days after receiving the box, the friend decided to open it, as it had begun to emit an appalling stench and to her horror she found it contained a severed head. The Guardia Civil revealed that the head is now being examined by pathologists at the Institute of Legal Medicine in Santander but gave no further details regarding the state of the head, its identity and whether it belonged to a male or female. The person who left the box was named as a woman from Cadiz called Carmen who had lived in Castro Urdiales for at least seven years, according to local media sources. The woman who found the head suffered a panic attack and had to be taken by ambulance to the local health centre. Despite the arrest, the investigation remains open.

Dog kills owner A MAN died after he was attacked by one of his own dogs in Coslada in Madrid on Sunday. The 47-year-old was at home when the animal, a Rottweiler, leapt on him and bit him in the face and thorax, Spanish media reported. The victim, who reportedly had three guard dogs, was at his property located on an industrial estate with family members
when the attack took place. A call to 112 alerted the emergency services to the incident. When the medical team arrived at the scene they could only confirm the man’s death. As well as the Rottweiler which caused the injuries the man had two other dogs. The Coslada Local Police Canine Unit reportedly transferred all three animals to an animal protection centre.
THE woman found guilty of murdering eight-year-old Gabriel Cruz has been given life. On Monday the Almeria Provincial Court sentenced Ana Julia Quesada to a maximum permanent reviewable prison sentence for killing Gabriel in Cabo de Gata in Almeria in February last year with the aggravating circumstance of a family relationship with the little boy. Quesada is the first women to be sentenced to serving life with a possibility of parole after a minimum fixed term since the punishment was introduced into Spanish Law in 2015. The court also sentenced the 45-year-old Domini-

Life for child killer can to three years behind bars for psychological injuries to Gabriel’s father Angel Cruz, with whom she was in a relationship at the time of the youngster’s death, and two years and nine months for psychological injuries to his mother Patricia Ramirez. In addition, the sentence orders Quesada to pay
€250,000 to each parent in moral damages and bans her from living in or visiting Nijar or the parents’ homes for 30 years and from going within 500 metres of either Angel or Patricia. She will also have to pay the just over €200,000 cost to the state of the 12-day search operation launched to find the little lad following his disappearance from close to his grandmother’s house in Las Hortichuelas. Last month a jury unanimously decided Quesada was guilty of ‘voluntarily taking the life’ of Gabriel, ‘unexpectedly and without the possibility of the minor defending himself or reacting’ following a nineday trial and more than 24 hours of deliberations.

Cats and Dogs WORRIED about the continuing proliferation of stray cats and dogs within the municipality, a number of interested parties have got together to launch a campaign of sterilisation. With the assistance of promotion by local radio and TV, 11 veterinary clinics have so far agreed to offer to sterilise people’s pets at very affordable prices and the campaign is supported by the council. Whilst the concept is very laudatory, there appear to be some inherent problems as firstly only residents who register at the town hall can take advantage of this initiative and secondly someone who is sufficiently civic minded enough to have their animal sterilised is hardly likely to have abandoned them anyway.

More parking spaces A DECISION has been made to increase public parking in San Pedro by the creation of an open air car park situated in Calle Juan Illescas Pavรณn in Fuente Nueva. An area of some 6,300 square metres has been identified by the Marbella Council and it is estimated that up to 200 cars could be accommodated in what will initially be a provisional parking area for residents. It is intended to use recycled asphalt recovered from another area in order to reduce costs and create less dust whilst at the same time, work will be undertaken to install better drainage for when it rains as well as new LED lights and other necessary improvements to the area. All of this is subject to authorisation from the Department of Urban Planning, but having canvassed local residents and undertaken similar work in other larger urbanisations which had insufficient parking, the council expects this proposal to be approved and work started as quickly as possible. Parking generally in San Pedro is a problem, so this additional site will be welcome.

New hotel wanted
FOR years a number of people in San Pedro Alcantara have objected to being what they see as a dormitory town of Marbella and they regularly vote in San Pedro councillors at local elections as they want increased autonomy. Now they are demanding that the Marbella Council should allow a proposal to be put forward with the intention of obtaining approval for a new hotel complex in the town which is backed by a petition containing almost 3,000 signatures. Benahavis is also looking to split from Marbella and this is probably more feasible as that town does have its own elected council but does also have to answer to Marbella.

Loggerhead turtle released
Axarquia Day at Tivoli World
MURCIA has welcomed two baby loggerhead turtles, the first to be born in the region in more than a century. The turtles have only a one in a 1,000 chance of surviving into adulthood in the wild. The last known loggerhead turtle eggs to have been found on a beach in the region were in the late 19th century. But last week, two of 69 eggs buried in the sand at Cala Arturo hatched in the regional park of Calblanque off the coast line of Cartagena. The eggs, buried on July 28, have carefully been looked after by the El Valle rescue centre with the hope that 10-12 more eggs could soon hatch. A 35-year-old female released into the wild is reportedly ready to ovulate and the agency hopes she will travel back to her birthplace to lay eggs.
THE amusement park Tivoli World in Benalmadena celebrated Day of Axarquia on Saturday. The event was officially opened by the president of the Mancomunidad de Municipios of Axarquia, José Juan Jiménez along with fellow councillors and the coordinator of Tivoli World, José Luis Guzmán. “From the institution we would like to thank the people in charge of Tivoli World who have thought of our region to give promotion and to pay tribute to each of its people,” thanked Jimenez. “With the celebration of the Day of the Costa del Tropical Axarquia we can show our tourist potential, but also allow a day of coexistence between many families from different villages in the region,” he continued. For the celebration, the park opened its doors free of charge to anyone with a residency card of Axarquia, or those who collected an invitation from town halls, coastal tourism offices or in the APTA office. The pass also meant that Axarquian tourists did not have to queue, using a special entrance to access the rides and attractions. Local businesses were also invited to set up tents to promote their wares to anyone visiting the park as well as animations and live performances that were held throughout the day.

Beach cleaning
LAST Saturday a large number of people arrived at the San Francisco beach, for a day of shoreline cleaning supported by the Fuengirola Council. The intention was not only to remove the waste that manages to make its way onto the beach, but also to highlight the importance of keeping the beaches in good condition and promoting cycling. The Spanish Institute of Oceanography had a stand on the beach and gave a talk to those present about the state of the Mediterranean and international waters. The hope is that as public awareness increases, so over a period of time, Fuengirola will be able to boast that visitors may enjoy 100 per cent sustainable beaches. As can be seen in the accompanying photograph, the majority of those taking part were youngsters and it is they who will be experiencing climate change and environmental difficulties in the future. Later next month, there will be a screening in 11 towns and cities of a new film by the group Fridays for another Future of a documentary about sustainability and environmental awareness. It is aimed mainly at schoolchildren and students and this is a Canadian film Youth Unstoppable which highlights the activities taken by young people around the world who are leading the fight against climate emergency in order to save the planet and their own futures.

Speaking at the official inauguration of the court last week, Cortes explained it is not just multi-sport, but also multi-purpose: one of the sides can be taken up so it can also serve as a stage for cultural events. “These kinds of multi-functional public spaces generate social integration between local residents,” the mayor commented.

Red carpet for Chinese film IN the summer of 2017, two Chinese filmmakers started a journey filming only on mo bile phones, and travelled through 16 countries from Cannes to Damascus. Their aim was to docu ment the situation of refugees in the ‘postrefugee era’ as well as present the truth about the current situ ation in Syria. The outcome was The Bridge to Paradise, a docu mentary that premiered at the Marbella International Film Festival yesterday, Wednesday October 2 at the Teatro Goya in Pueto Banus.
The war in Syria has also meant that much of Syria’s rich cultural heritage has also been destroyed. The Bridge to Paradise tells the heartbreaking story of some of the estimated 1.5 million refugees that have fled to Europe for a better life, and the many struggles they face on their journey. Chinese director Jianan Fan, who produces movies often relating to multicultur alism or religion, met Chi nese photographer Zhilei Zhang at the Cannes Film Festival. Shortly after, the two set out on their journey that they hoped would bring worldwide recognition to the plight of refugees affected by the Syrian civil war. The film was produced by Ben Niu who turned the phone images into an im pactful film that has so far enjoyed critical acclaim. The film was funded with the help of businessmen who hopes that by supporting tal ented filmmakers they will in return be able to provide quality, influential media.
The film is heartwarming and tearjerking as well as truthfully informative in a way the producers hope will show the reality that the daytoday media fails to convey. For Syria, the statistics are frightening. Since the conflict began in 2012 around half a million Syrians have been killed or are missing pre sumed dead. An estimated six million Syrians are now refugees, and the same amount again have been internally dis placed or are homeless with in their country.

Hard man hopes for ‘soft side’ role IN a relaitvely short acting career, Terry Stone has carved a niche that has him firmly in the thug league. Having started acting in 2003 and doing the rounds of My Family, Eastenders and The Bill, four years later he had his first big screen hit
as Tony Tucker in the first Rise of the Footsol dier. The former rave organiser and night club boss is back in character for the fourth in the Footsoldier series that was filmed in Marbella and premieres at the Marbella International Film Festival tomorrow (Friday). So far Tony Tucker has been seen as the loy al back up to the lead character, gangster Pat Tate played by Craig Fairbrass. In this latest release, we see more of the character of Essex boy Tony Tucker as he em barks on a chaotic road trip from London to Marbella. The storyline has given Stone a chance to inject some humour into the role and give more insight into how the mind of Tony Tuck er ticks. “There’s a lot of stuff in this film that we didn’t have with the other films. We’ve added a lot of humour which we think will appeal to

Stone has done humour before but he’s al ways been cast in menacing roles and says he’d welcome a chance to show his gentler side. “I’ve played a lot of different roles but I’m usually the bad guy. I’d like someone to give me the opportunity to play a softer charac ter,” he mused. However, Stone acknowledges his forte is
reallife crime as his venture into production with the successful gangster movie Once Up on a Time in London confirms. He said: “I’m interested in reallife crime. I like the history and what was going on at the time these guys were operating. I’m not inter ested in fiction. These characters are real.” Stone’s looking forward to the Premiere of Rise of the Footsoldier: Spanish Heist when the film is up for an award.

Thomas Cook Fall Out
THERE are a number of longterm financial implications following the passing of the Thomas Cook Group into Administration which will affect not just the UK, but other European economies. Firstly, the British government de cided not to assist in injecting £200 million (€220 million) into the compa ny to see it through the winter, but it is estimated that it will cost £60 mil lion (€66 million) alone to charter air craft to return those stranded abroad. If the ATOL insurance scheme paid
By John Smith out to all of those who have lost de posits then it would be depleted for the future which means that it is more than likely that the British govern ment will have to cover whatever shortfall there may be, which could add another £40 million (€44 million) to the bill. Add to this the fact that 9,000 em ployees will be out of jobs and many may have to apply for unemployment benefits and it begs the question as to why the government wouldn’t help when it has stepped in with banks and
the steel industry. Thomas Cook specialised in a num ber of low cost holidays and now with so many people potentially looking elsewhere, what capacity is available has already increased in price. Spanish hoteliers who relied on block bookings from the travel com pany could face a very difficult winter and the German government has had to step in to lend the Condor Airline (a Thomas Cook subsidiary which oper ates many flights to mainland Spain and the Balearics) some €380 million to keep it in the air.

Companies have gone out of business due to hacking and their inability to afford to pay compen sation to victims, so EIOPA believes it is imperative that companies take very seriously the ongoing risk and protect themselves by investing in insurance.

This saw the GBP/EUR trade be tween 1.09 and 1.13 with EUR/GBP retreating to 0.88. Meanwhile, GBP/USD has climbed from 1.21 to 1.25 (having struck a threeyear low of 1.19 along the way) whilst EUR/USD held steady at 1.10. What’s been happening?

Sterling rocked by chaotic month in UK politics
BREXIT JITTERS: Driving GBP exchange rates to new multi-year lows. political developments. Sterling initially plummeted when Boris Johnson announced that parliament would be sus pended for five weeks from early September. However subsequent move

reading. Occupying almost all the atten tion of EUR investors over the last month has been the European Central Bank and its long awaited stimulus package. The stimulus measures were ul timately received positively by markets, helping to buoy the sin gle currency going into the second half of September. Finally, trade in the US dollar has been mixed in recent weeks in response to rising fears that a US recession could be looming fol lowing an inversion in the US bond yield curve and Fed rate cut spec ulation. What do you need to look out for? UK political developments are likely to continue acting as the main catalyst of movement in the

pound as we get closer to the cur rent Brexit deadline on October 31. The upcoming EU summit in midOctober will likely be key for GBP investors, as all bets will be off if Boris Johnson fails to secure a deal by then. Meanwhile, the euro may strug gle to find support over the com ing month if German data remains in the doldrums. Finally, the US dollar may be particularly sensitive to economic data in the coming weeks, as mar kets look to gauge whether the US economy may be drifting towards a recession.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT WITH their plastic bottles, food cartons and litter left lying everywhere in their wake, plus the output of untold thousands of vehicle exhausts as they idled in traffic jams, these recent, badly mislead young ‘climate change’ protesters have left a carbon footprint that will probably not be ‘offset’ until they reach their coming of age. This present generation has to be the most spoiled, selfcentered, misinformed bunch of youngsters the civilised world has ever pro duced. They have airconditioning in the class rooms, mobile phones and gismos, they ride in cars to school, they suck up junk food like hoovers and insist on the latest trendy outfits at all times. All of these luxury products, which they seem to think are their God given right, are manufactured or supplied by enormous compa nies that pour billions of tonnes of carbon diox ide emission into the Earth’s atmosphere. These children’s selfish attitudes and lifestyles cause far more damage to our environment than the previous generations they are so keen to accuse. Those preceding them were mobile and ‘designer’ free and took bicycles or walked to their destinations. Most had never experi enced jet travel or air conditioning and opened
FEATURE
Self-centred and spoiled windows when it was hot, instead of closing them. They received new shoes or clothes only when the previous attire needed replacing, ate homemade sandwiches instead of Whoppers and read books. However, in these modern day youngsters’ defence, most have of course been brainwashed and mislead by the ‘usual sus pects!’ Many of the culprits are those who laughingly profess to be ‘school teachers.’ Stringy haired trendies, who actually started the rot when the first long haired leftie ‘free thinker’ plonked his behind on his desk and told the class to call him Jon! The same leftie brigade who welcome drag acts into the classrooms to ‘enlighten’ fouryear olds, abolish winning and losing. Well this is the result. A whole generation of youngsters who not only have no respect for their elders but truly do believe they are actually superior. Ever increasing numbers of them would rather walk into the class with a knife than a ruler. I also wonder who was actually re sponsible for these utterly disruptive protests. Don’t tell me it was some precocious Swedish
16yearold. Even this young lady admitted her total surprise at the extent of the demonstrations. No, this was an idea hi jacked by adults and cal lously exploited to further their own intentions.

The organisers of this particu lar exercise were well aware that had it been organised at a weekend their protesting protégés would be too busy buried in their mobiles and Xboxes or showing off their latest designer trainers to even think about actually giving up their precious spare time.

Why we hate politicians NORA JOHNSON

THE UK is less than a few weeks from Brexit’s Halloween deadline, followed probably by a General Election, but just look at the choice offered by the main parties! Is there anyone near the top in any party that you’d want running the country, let alone trust? Boris (well, who really knows what he stands for?) and Corbyn who thinks he’s Goldilocks: not too Leave and not too Remain, just ‘right.’ Help! Problem is, politicians regard their ‘job’ as an allexpenses paid hobby. There may be some honest, decent, conscientious ones amongst them, but they soon learn what the ‘party line’ is. Basically, today’s politicians (many lacking realworld experience) can never say it as it is, never use common sense and hedge everything. Let alone their pe culiar way of talking whilst trying to ap
JACOB REES-MOGG: A peculiar way of talking whilst trying to appear sincere. pear sincere. (ReesMogg, I’m looking at you!) Is there some ‘elocution school’ they’re forced to attend? If so, Ofsted should shut it down immediately. Obsessing over focus groups, they’re forever promising something anything as long as they’re reelected. How about proper governance for starters? All peo ple want, generally speaking, is a safe en vironment to live in, clean water, decent food and enough money to live comfort ably. But so many politicians today simply
don’t tell the truth or deliver what those who elected them want. They have their own agenda, invariably increasing their own selfworth at the expense of those they’re ‘representing’ whilst simultane ously forcing ridiculous PC values on them. And in this fakenews PC age, nobody wants to hear the truth and so politicians are only too happy to oblige by failing to address it either by ignoring it or being ‘economical’ with it. End result: voter ap athy and so we end up not with the politicians we really need, but those we deserve. What is it about Britain that has pro duced such a run of failed leaders? Finally, on a really positive note, many thanks to all you readers out there who’ve left great comments on my web site about my latest thriller ‘Betrayal!’ Happy reading!

TEENAGE environmentalist Greta Thunberg has become one of the most influential campaigners of her generation at just 16 years old. She’s been nominated for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize in her home country of Sweden where she has been lobbying parliament in Stockholm since August 2018. Her protest transatlantic ocean voyage by yacht from Southampton to New York catapulted her onto the global stage. She says she now has world leaders eager to have selfies taken at her side and has become the face of the youth climate change movement that has resulted in children skipping school to march against extinction. Greta Thunburg, with her wholesome rosy cheeks and pigtails, has won the admiration of millions; she has also earned her place as a hate target for those who question her credibility. Petrolhead Jeremy Clarkson reminded people he still exists by branding the youngster a ‘spoilt brat.’ Others say she has been ‘groomed’ by adults who are exploiting her youth and her Asperger’s for their own ends. The story goes that she was ‘discovered’ by her PR agency when its boss Ingmar Rentzhog happened to be walking past Stockholm Parliament and saw her solo protest with a homemade sign. In fact, the PR guru, who founded the green social network start-up business ‘We Don’t Have Time,’ had met the child and her family at a climate change conference a year earlier and has now raised more than $1.5m from investors for his company. Greta Thunberg’s passion is undoubtedly her own, but her campaign is no longer solo.

Putting the fun into funerals BARRY DUKE WHEN I landed a job in Fleet Street it quickly became apparent that, were I to continue a career in the epicentre of British journalism in the seventies, I’d soon go the way of other hacks who fell off their perches long before they reached retirement. It was the lifestyle that did them in: threehour lunch breaks in the nearest boozer or wine bar, plus around 50 fags a day. I was expected to go with the flow and I did. But one day I declared enough was enough, and I asked to be put on permanent nightshift when all pubs in the vicinity were shut. I made the decision after I attended the funeral of a colleague who stum bled out of a pub and dropped dead aged 45. His funeral the first I’d ever attended was a ghastly affair. The vic
ar, who’d clearly necked far too much of the hard stuff, slurred his way through lengthy passages of the Bible, led the congregation in singing hymns they didn’t know the words to, and wound up an hour later by briefly thanking family and friends for smooth ing Harry Bridges’ path to heaven. I groaned, as did many others, for the man in the coffin Barry Smythe. And he was an atheist. I was livid, and swore I would never, ever attend a religious funeral again. I even drew up a document stipulating that my funeral was to be strictly secu lar and upbeat and listed the songs to be played. I added Highway to Hell by AC/DC when it was released in 1979. My resolve held steady, even though, over the years, a number of close friends have died. I would have attended their funerals but, as in far too many instances, the arrangements were left to religious family members, and there was no way I would set foot in a church or crematorium where prayers were chanted, psalms read and hymns sung. But when I learned that a nonreli
gious funeral was be held on Sep tember 24 for Nigel Constable, owner of Benidorm’s Com pany Bar, I made a point of attending, for I knew it would be a cheerful occa sion, especially as James McDonald, a leading Benidorm drag star, would be performing at Nigel’s sendoff. Nigel, 72, settled in Benidorm around five years ago. Before that, he ran a gift shop in Brighton. Among his many interests when he lived in the UK were grey hound racing (he actually owned one of these dogs) and buying and selling rare stamps. Although I lived in Brighton for eight years, I only got to know him after he came to Spain and took over Company. We became firm friends.
FUNERAL: James McDonald (left) would be performing at Nigel’s send-off. He never ceased to amaze me with his breadth of knowledge about history, politics, literature and even cordon bleu cooking and he often came up with great ideas for my weekly Euro Weekly News columns, of which he was an avid reader.
But I learned very early in my deal ings with Nigel never to get him onto the subject of Spanish bureaucracy and the unfathomable regulations govern ing local bars’ outdoor tables and chairs. His rants on these topics could induce migraines and cause one’s ears to bleed.

Help when you need it most THE loss of a loved one at any time is traumatic but if it hap pens here in Spain, you may well need help from a caring and knowledgeable team to deal with what could be a dif ficult process.

Returning to Consular Duties CONSULAR MATTERS ONCE the summer recess i s o v e r, e v e r y o n e i n t h e public sector goes back to w o r k i n o u r P ro v i n c e . Malaga has a large and active Consular Corp made up of 40 consulates most of which have jurisdiction i n t h e p ro v i n c e s w h i c h make up Andalucia. Having consular representatives taking part in official acts shows the importance of foreign residents, communities and visitors in the economy and society in general. The Consulates in Malaga represent the interests of an important part of the population which can be up to 30 per cent in some cities on the coast. On the consular agenda there are dates in September that are ab

solutely key such as the opening of the academic year of the University of Malaga and the reception of for eign students who come to study with the ‘Erasmus’ scholarships im plemented by the EU since years
ago which has allowed the easy and accessible mobilisation of students throughout Europe. So are the celebration of the re spective days for the National Po lice, the Local Police and the
Guardia Civil or the day of the ‘Penitentiary Institutions’ (Pris ons) these are important entries in the diaries of all those who are part of the Consular Corps and the rest of the representatives of
public institutions and authorities. Also on September 23 we had the reception where the Saudi con sulate celebrated its National Day which was held at the Hacienda El Alamo in Malaga which was attend ed by the Consular Corps, civil and military authorities , businessmen and other personalities. The Saudi Consulate displayed its famous hospitality and entertained the guests with typical Saudi delica cies and gastronomy. Next week we will all attend an other traditional celebration at the Consulate of the Federal Republic of Germany for the anniversary of Ger man unification. The importance of these meet ings goes far beyond the appropri ate photo opportunities and helps us build a network of official con tacts that allows us, on many occa sions to facilitate our consular work to help our citizens, always with the premise of nonintervention in inter nal affairs of the country and of course adhering to the laws in force.

You have to remember... MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man DO you remember when you were younger, and maybe even now, people kept a diary? It was a personal record of your daily life and the worst thing that could happen is that someone read it. Your personal thoughts, things you’d done and with whom. Now most people get totally de pressed if the whole world isn’t interested in what they are doing. How things change and, in my opinion, not for the better. I was married with two kids before I got my first email! I guess it’s progress and I have to ac cept it. Everything is instant. I don’t mind my coffee being instant, but everything else needs to slow down a little. I use a computer security software com pany called McAfee. I got a notice saying it was up for renewal in two months’ time but there was nothing to worry about as it was on automatic renewal and it would au tomatically charge my credit card a certain amount. Anyway, it’s been doing some thing every now and again that was annoy
ing me. It kept changing my search engine if I added a certain update, so I decided to look around at other companies. I can celled McAfee’s automatic renewal. Well, the next day I get a warning from them about the consequences of not re newing saying emerging cyberattack techniques threaten devices worldwide and may let hackers steal your passwords, infiltrate private photos, emails, documents and exploit hardware flaws you have in your devices. This has been going on every day along with the odd special deal if I let them renew without question. All I need is a reminder that it needs renewing, not all this bombarding me with stuff. I know I need protection software, but this is not the best way to sell it to me. I don’t like this automatic renewal stuff. Recently I got a free subscription for Amazon Prime with my mobile phone com pany and I have to remember to cancel it. My car insurance does it and so does my household insurance. That one you have to do three months before or you can’t cancel it, but they don’t send you a reminder you have to remember. I wonder how many people forget they have things that auto matically renew on products they have tried and don’t use and just thought would run out after the trial period?

YOUR STARS
TIME OUT ‘Greetings cards featuring artwork by AudreyQ are available at P.C. Highway, Javea with profits going to Aspadis, a Valencian charity for severely handicapped children.’
FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Energy is low but your spirit seems to be getting power from somewhere. At times, it feels that it is almost outside of your own sphere. When tackling what is seen as a tedious task, you may not be aware that you are building something for the future, but there is much going on that will affect your future to a large extent.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) For some time, things on the romantic front have been confusing, to say the least. There are decisions that someone has to make that affect you seriously. Romantically and emotionally, things come to a head but don’t let the wind of change blow away all that you have achieved. Don’t begin to doubt yourself or others will, too.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) You may well feel that your business life is not going as well as you would have hoped this week. They do say that you can’t have everything right at once. This is a good time to enjoy the company of others and make your love life buzz.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There is something of the rebel in you this week. Even you don’t fully understand the changes taking place. You will resist any attempt to stop from expressing yourself freely. Although you prefer a peaceful time, it may be necessary to remind someone of your rights.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Because you are about to enter an active phase, it would be best to keep things as straightforward and organised as possible. Those around you may be less than exciting at the moment, so keep the interest going with joint activities and accepting interesting invitations.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Have you been a bit of a couch potato recently? Spend some of this week working towards a healthy mind in a healthy body. Running yourself ragged should certainly be avoided. Seek expert advice now about a problem that just won’t go away. It will, but only with a lot of effort. Although you prefer to share your activities, this is one area that you need to concentrate on fully, so go for it alone to begin with.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Arm yourself with plenty of information about what is going on in your life at the moment. Those close might expect you to lead the way on an important matter. You need to trust your instincts more and have confidence. Think in the long term. Those who are not considered important now could be so in the future. As you prefer being in charge, this should not seem unnatural to you.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Although you feel like going it alone at the moment, you would do well to involve someone close in your project or exercise. There is room for improvement in both your life and your health but it can be more enjoyable if shared. Expect surprises in your love life and you will not be surprised.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It could be that you are feeling a little below par at the moment. You may assume it is because of a recent emotional upset, but it is unlikely to be quite that simple. Spend a bit of time and money on yourself for a change. Develop your talents in the realms of writing, painting and music. This need not take a large amount of time. Start with one simple project.

BIRTHDAYS
PETE BANNING was Clanton, Mississippi’s favourite son - a decorated Second World War hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbour, and a faithful member of the Methodist church. Then one day he committed a shocking crime. Pete’s only statement about it - to everybody - was: “I have nothing to say.” He was not afraid of death and was willing to take his motive to the grave. In a major novel unlike anything he has written before, John Grisham takes us on an incredible journey, from the Jim Crow South to the jungles of the Philippines during the Second World War; from an insane asylum filled with secrets to the Clanton courtroom where Pete’s defence attorney tries desperately to save him. Reminiscent of the finest tradition of Southern Gothic storytelling, The Reckoning would not be complete without Grisham’s signature layers of legal suspense.

Are you a good driver or a gunslinger? MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING TWO summers ago a young girl visiting Marbella for a few month’s work experience died in one of the most horrendous acci dents imaginable. This lovely young woman was so conscien tious about getting to work on time she took a ride home in a car that didn’t have enough seatbelts for all the occupants and with a driver who was well over the per mitted alcohol limit. They took the Ronda road but never made it to their destination. This young soul was thrown out of the car through a half opened win

dow and decapitated. She was the one in the middle without a belt and although she hadn’t been drinking, she was the one who
paid the ultimate price. She wasn’t irresponsible; she was young and naïve like most youngsters and she had no family
to turn to. She had let the pres sure of ‘doing the right thing’ or perhaps not making a scene or not having any other way to get home overwhelm her common sense. It took me months to assimilate the horror. Why don’t they have posters plastered on every wall from Puerto Banus to the car parks with an emergency ‘pick me up if in doubt’ sign with a desig nated emergency telephone num ber? I do somehow feel that it’s up to our resident community to help promote wiser choices or provide alternative solutions as well as selling and promoting alcohol con sumption on all fronts. Of course we also have those who are not so young but equally throw caution to the wind and dri ve anyway. As just one glass of
wine can put us over the limit, I think anyone who ever drinks and has a car is guilty of this at one time or another, but perhaps we shouldn’t take such a blasé atti tude when it’s more than that. We all want to have fun and we all want to make money, so it’s al so important that we do go out and help keep our local businesses flourishing at the same time! It’s finding the happy medium and ways to remind ourselves when getting into our cars, or mo torbikes, that most of us wouldn’t walk around with a loaded gun, even less so brandishing it around on a drunken night out, so why take the risk when we know, if we care to think about it, that even the best driver is as dangerous as a mindless gunslinger when loaded.

Brain food WITH life expectancy ever increasing, many of us are looking for ways to improve our quality of life a n d re v e r s e a n y d a m a g e caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. Fortunately, researchers in Spain have found a way of reversing brain damage brought about by high fat diets. A study at the Jaume I University in Castella de la Plana found mice which were given high levels of fat developed damage to their ner vous system similar to that in Alzheimer’s patients, but that this was reversed when they were fed a plant hormone. This hormone, abscisic acid, was found to reduce inflammation in the part of the brain where we store memories. Researchers be lieve this effect may be caused be cause abscisic acid helps regulate
insulin levels which, when out of balance, can cause inflammation in insulin receptors in the hippocam pus, the region of the brain which governs long term memories. In flammation of the nervous system and unregulated insulin levels are both linked to Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia. The study’s author, Alberto Ribes Navarro, explained: “We have been able to prove that the expression of proteins required for the proper functioning of insulin decreases in neuroinflammatory situations induced by a highfat di et.” He added: “With the addition of abscisic acid to the highfat diet it is possible to rebalance the regu lation of these genes, even helping them reach normal levels.” Abscisic acid is found in a plant’s xylem (the stem) and is used by plants to help with growth and de velopment of tolerance to harsh
conditions. The hormone is found naturally in fruit and vegetables. A 2015 study into the acid also found it played a role in regulating blood sugar, which could in turn help de lay the development of diabetes. Ana Maria Sanchez, who headed up this latest study, shows how this new evi dence goes even further, even undoing d a m a g e caused by an un healthy lifestyle. She concluded: “We have verified how a vegetable hormone, abscisic acid, is able to counter the nega tive effects that a highfat diet has on the central nervous system.” REPAIR: Fruit and vegetables can reverse damage.
Tasty fat burning fruits WHAT you eat is just as important as what you don’t when it comes to reducing body weight. But fortunately, eating fruit is a great way to burn fat and keep cravings for sweet stuff at bay.

Fruits contain very few calo ries while also being crammed with vital nutrients to keep

Studies have also shown that eating specific fruits help burn fat more efficiently. Here are some of the more effective fat burning fruits. Apples are the most fibre rich sources found in nature. Studies show that fibre is an in tegral part of reducing visceral fat (belly fat), and that a higher soluble fibre intake every day can reduce tummy fat by 3.7 per cent over a fiveyear peri od. Avocados are wellknown for being high in fat, but they also help to burn fat too. The high amounts of omega
9 fatty acids, known as mono saturated fats, help the meta bolic processes of converting fat into energy. Bananas are great at lower ing body fat. They keep the stomach fuller for longer, are high in magnesium and potas sium and can help with diges tion problems and bloating. Coconuts are naturally sweet in flavour and even small quantities of the flesh can satis fy hunger. They are also packed with mediumchain triglycerides (MCTs) which can boost the metabolism efficien cy by up to 30 per cent.
Commonly referred to as melon, Honeydew is rich in a number of vitamins and nutri ents. They contain heaps of vit amin C which boosts the im mune system and fights against fat build up. Honeydew is also a great source of vitamin B com plex which breaks fat down and converts it into energy. And lemons are great for detoxifying the liver, and hav ing a healthy liver aids the abili ty to digest food and burn fat. Lemons also prevent the accu mulation of fat in the body. Other great fruits include grapefruit, apricots, blueber ries, pomegranates and water melon.

The Secret to stopping knee pain
KNEE PAIN: Straight is important. surgery is booked. After surgery If you’ve had surgery these three points be come even more important. In fact, they are the entire focus of your recovery.
And it needs to start the first day after your surgery. The longer you wait the more the mus cles waste and the harder it is to get right. • You will most likely need at least one, if not two crutches to get home. These aren’t always provided, so get them before you go and PRAC TICE! • Have an ice pack or two ready to help to reduce swelling. • Start your knee straightening exercises as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours of surgery! (do check with your physio in case of any complications) Why is straight important? If you aren’t straightening your leg correctly you aren’t using your foot, ankle, knee or hip correctly. You have a limp (even a teeny, tiny one!) and this can cause back pain as well. Inside tip If you’ve got lower back pain that isn’t responding to treatment, it might be your knee that’s causing the problem! If you don’t get a full range of motion in the
knee: 1. The joint position is not correct which speeds up cartilage damage. 2. The quadriceps muscles lose full ‘control’ of the knee. 3. Ligaments don’t work properly. 4. The hamstrings are no longer stretched correctly. 5. Puts incorrect pressure on your foot caus ing ankle and toes problems. Get the knee in good shape A knee replacement only replaces the bone not the soft tissue around it. So if the soft tissue is in bad shape before surgery, it’s only going to get worse! Meet the following conditions BEFORE surgery and guarantee a good outcome: • Full range of motion that’s completely straight as well as completely bent. • Little or no swelling. • Normal walking (no limp!) • Good quad strength.
Getting the knee straight is far more important than getting it bent (you can find basic knee straightening exercises on my blog - www.TheBodyworksClinic.com/blog).

Sleep to forget Rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep is a fascinating period when most of our dreams are made. NOW, in a study of mice, a team of Japanese and US researchers show that it may also be a time when the brain ac tively forgets. Their results suggest that forgetting during sleep may be con trolled by neurons found deep inside the brain that were previously known for making an appetite stimulating hor mone. “Ever wonder why we forget many of our dreams?” said Thomas Kilduff, PhD, director of the Centre for Neuroscience at SRI International, Menlo Park, Califor nia, and a senior author of the study published in Science. “Our results sug gest that the firing of a particular group of neurons during REM sleep controls whether the brain remembers new in formation after a good night’s sleep.” REM is one of several sleep stages the body cycles through every night. It first occurs about 90 minutes after falling asleep and is characterised by darting eyes, raised heart rates, paralysed limbs, awakened brain waves and dreaming. For more than a century, scientists
have explored the role of sleep in storing memories. While many have shown that sleep helps the brain store new memo ries, others, including Francis Crick, the codiscoverer of the DNA double helix, have raised the possibility that sleep in particular REM sleep may be a time when the brain actively eliminates or forgets excess information. Moreover, recent studies in mice have shown that during sleep including REM sleep the brain selectively prunes synaptic connec tions made between neurons involved in certain types of learning. However, until this study, no one had shown how this might happen. “Understanding the role of sleep in forgetting may help researchers better understand a wide range of memoryre lated diseases like posttraumatic stress disorder and Alzheimer’s,” said Janet He, PhD, programme director, at NINDS. “This study provides the most direct evi dence that REM sleep may play a role in how the brain decides which memories to store.”

Those words make me smile be cause when you meet him that is what he will say to you! He uses those words like my friend Chico uses ‘What time is it?’ I hooked up with Salvy and we sat over coffee as he explained his passion. “We have been celebrating a week of Spanish rice for six years now. “It’s an opportunity to bring our little community together with some officials like the Mayor and the Chief of Police and enjoy lunch or dinner celebrating Spanish rice but also an opportunity to tribute
some people usually in our indus try who otherwise may go unno ticed for all their hard work and dedication.” Salvador explained that the rice week (from October 29 to Novem ber 3) is covered by Spanish TV and by the national and local press. It’s also an opportunity to raise some funds through an auction and this year the money raised will be for baby Antonio who is 14 months old and his body rejects what he eats and so needs con stant hospital assistance. It’s a rare disease and funds will help pay for treatments, but also for re search. So all in all an excellent way to enjoy great food and company and congratulate tribute winners, raise money for charity, mix with the lo cals and discuss parking issues with the police (at least that’s what I will be doing!). Salvador loves to throw a party and this year promises to be the best year ever as one of the high lighted special days for rice week is a day with me cooking!

Priced at only €25 for lunch or dinner which includes wine, beer and water, it’s a real steal and if you want to come along email steven@thelittlegeranium.com and I will arrange the booking. El Torreon is famous for its pael la and I have to say that I eat all over the coast and I have never had a better paella than the ones made by Chef Isaac in the Torreon kitchen. It has real authenticity. I will never forget Chef Theresa (sous chef) showing me how the high heat caramelizes the rice to the sides of the paella pan, it’s called Socarrat… Eso es lo major! Or …’that’s the best bit’ she said (in Spanish). She was right and if you achieve Socarrat you have created the per fect paella! It adds texture as well as that lovely intense sweetness and crunch, sitting here writing about it makes me want to get down there and order paella for lunch! So this week in advance of Sal vador’s rice week, I am celebrating their famous paella and so here is their secret recipe!
Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.
Traditional Paella PAELLA is a traditional Valencian dish from the east coast of Spain with Moorish influence. The closer to the coast the more fish is used and in the north they will add chick en, pork and rabbit. I often add fresh clams, concha fina clams and sometimes lobster, albeit this is not traditional, but it is kinda lovely! INGREDIENTS SERVES 4 1. 6 cloves garlic 2. 1 onion 3. 1 red bell pepper 4. 400g of fresh squid cleaned 5. 100ml extra virgin Spanish olive oil 6. 150ml tomato puree 7. 1 tsp smoked paprika 8. Maldon salt 9. Black pepper
10. 700 ml fish or chicken stock (enough to more than cover the rice) 11. 1 small sachet Spanish saffron in powder form 12. ½ tbsp of saffron threads 13. 400g paella rice 14. 12 large raw jumbo prawns or 24 smaller ones (peeled and de veined) 15. Approx 16 fresh mussels (de bearded and cleaned) 16. Fresh parsley 17. Fresh lemon METHOD 1. Firstly cut up all the ingredi ents, finely chop the garlic, dice the onion, dice the red bell pepper and cut one large cleaned tube of squid into rings or ask your fishmonger to do this. Reserve the raw prawns that have been peeled and de
veined and the cleaned mussels. 2. Heat a paella pan or large fry ing pan and add the extra virgin Spanish olive oil, once the oil gets hot, add the squid, mix it around and cook for two minutes, then re move the squid from the pan and set it aside. 3. Now add the onions and garlic into the pan and mix with the oil, then add the red bell pepper, mix and cook for a few minutes. 4. Next season everything with the smoked paprika, a generous pinch of salt and a little freshly cracked black pepper, continue to cook for two minutes, and then add the squid back into the pan. 5. Now add the fish or chicken stock and the saffron and the toma to puree and gently mix everything
together. 6. Once this comes to a boil, add the paella rice to the pan and then gently distribute the rice throughout the pan with a wooden spoon. After a few min utes of cooking add the raw prawns and then the mussels on top. (I mention enough stock to cover the rice in the ingredients because pans vary in size. The rice/fish mix must be cov ered with the stock.) 7. Put in a hot oven 250ºC for about 15/20 minutes or until there is very little broth left. Check and if you don’t have the Socarrat (burnt rice on the bottom of the pan), turn
xxxx
the hob on to a mediumhigh heat and put the pan on it for one minute or so. 8. Finally cover the paella pan with tin foil and let it rest for five minutes. 9. Uncover the paella, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and squeeze the lemon over and serve!

Hi everybody at EWN Doggie Angells would like to thank you all for your help over the last year. We have had a great deal of success with rehoming our dogs. Sometimes dogs can be with us for long periods. It’s funny when they are adopted people often say we have been looking at this dog in the paper week after week and we kept wanting to adopt him but the time was just not right. He's still in the paper and we are now ready to have him. So that is great - patience pays off. Again thank you all, we very much appreciate all what you do for our charity. Things slow up for us in August, thank goodness it gives us time to catch up. Kind regards Denise and all at Doggie Angells.

Informative, refreshing and full of news and reviews, especially like the nonogram teaser and the horoscopes lol, takes me all week to read front to back. Carry on the good work.

SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads.

For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clearout, please contact us on 605 227 155.

The Big Cats day out L
A S T weekend was the turn of the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club, Costa del Sol chapter, to get busy and put on a most enjoyable car run and lunch. This time they started from the Restaurante El Trapiche for a trip northwards. In addition to the Big Cats there were a few welcome interlopers with a Mercedes, a BMW plus a hire car making up the party. This is what their Chairman, Philip Wray, had to say about the day:“Although the weather was overcast, and the forecast was for rain, we departed from Trapiche past Lake Viñuela and on to Periana and towards Guaro. What is so enjoyable about this piece of road is the uphill climb in the foothills of the Sierra de Tejeda with the profusion of hairpin bends and not a single car coming the other way. Not that there is no life here as we encountered a couple of substantial herds of goats wandering along the road under the watchful eye of their goatherd. The stupendous views were hidden by the low cloud so we had to imagine the panorama stretching on into the distance. Passing the summit the road straightened with a gentle descent towards Alfarnate. Although I thought my directions were clear it was fascinating to observe from the back that cars instead of going straight on as expected decided to scatter left and right. Not a disaster as most noticed their variations and after a quick U-turn rejoined the route. Alfarnate is a pretty little village with narrow streets which follow the riverbed. Onwards to the Venta de Alfarnate on the junction of the old Malaga to Granada road. T he venta is said to date from the 13th century. In 1850 a gang of 12 armed men carried out a robbery on the Malaga stage coach and there have been many famous visitors as well as assorted bandits. One of the better known was Luiz Monoz Garcia, the cross-eyed bandit from El Borge who used to frequently visit his mistress who had a husband in Alfarnate. Unfortunately the venta was closed. The only sign of life was a very affectionate grey cat who was a bit like a rash, difficult to get rid of. Instead of coffee we had our traditional cava stop with crisps and orange juice. Suitably refreshed we continued towards Zafarraya and then back down the stunning route to V iñuela. E n route we

stopped for a coffee at the Restaurante Fuente la Pena. What a marvellous little restaurant, very friendly with great service and superb meat roasting which persuaded a couple to buy a tray full to take home. We will be back for a lunch here. After coffee we continued to the excellent Restaurante el Pantano on the shore of Lake Viñuela. As usual we were warmly welcomed and were served a huge lunch with a selection of cheeses followed by a very tasty starter of chorizo and morcilla; then came a selection of either a prawn cocktail or a giant chicken salad. If you had any room after all that there was a choice of multiple lamb steaks, grilled salmon or massive chicken kebab followed by desserts. All this washed down with soft drinks or wine. As Ian said during the meal, “This is the best meal I have had for 30 euros for very many years.” Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day and departed after 5.00pm being careful past the speed camera on the downhill part of the A356. The next J EC run will be on October 19. Do join us.” There is so much to do on the coast for classic and modern car enthusiasts these days, how lucky we are to have so much to do and with the weather and roads to enjoy the cars and the countryside. And, of course, always a decent lunch to finish up these events! Starting this weekend is Drive Andalucia’s first running of their Tour Al Andaluz. Thirty cars and 60 people will set off through the Montes de Malaga on Day 1 of this fabulous seven-day Tour with a rest day in Lisbon mid-way through the event.
We’ll have a full report and pictures in the next issue. Also this weekend, on Saturday, is the CCCA October run starting from El Caserio near E stepona and finishing at V enta E l G arcia near C asares where a first class lunch will be expected!
That’s it for now, more next time!
Further information on Classic Car Club of Andalucia events can be found on the Club’s website www.cccandalucia.com. Membership of this vibrant club is open to anyone owning a genuine classic car here in Spain. Saca tu coche clásico del garaje y diviértete con el.

BIGGAR’S boot started the game, he kicked deep and targeted Hooper. Starting an early turn over Wales won the ball in hand about 30m out. The first possession and Wales pinched it, the man with 10 on his back slotted it perfectly and first points, first blood went to Wales. HaylettPetty almost broke the line on the restart, but he could n’t maintain control and the ball went to ground. Wales ad vanced, and it was a penalty against Australia, AshleyCooper was accused of being off his feet. Biggar from near the touchline took the penalty, but he slotted it just to the left. It was a letoff for Australia, 60 could have been a harsh start. On the 11th minute the scrum collapsed, Australia was accused of angling. The Welsh line out was about 20m out. They went deep and it was North on the run once again. A few phases, but Australia’s defence picked out the oneoff runners. Biggar kicked to the corner, and it was Parkes who raised above Koroi bete to pluck the crossfield bomb and place it for a Welsh try. Big gar converted with ease taking the game to 010.
Victorious Wales beat Australia CELEBRATIONS: Wales defeated Australia.
Wales kicked to touch and set the lineout on the 18th minute of the match but it was pinched by Australia, a great catch from the men in gold. Wales kept the defensive runner up, and the maul went nowhere. with another turnover. It was a good scrum from Australia they won the penalty and got out of danger. Kerevi took another big carry before Foley looked cross
field with a kick, and it saw Aus tralia take their first try; 50 with the Australians getting into the flow of the game. Australia pushed wide on 26 minutes and it was George North who gave away a penalty. They played on, and it was Kerevi with another monster run he dropped the goose step and palmed off a wouldbe tackler before Biggar came across with a
crucial trysaving tackle, Australia came back for the penalty. Foley slotted it from 10m in from touch. It floated a little ugly, but it flew between the sticks to make it 810 and narrow the scoreline. Owens won a lineout feed on 30 minutes, which Wales won but it was a poor pass out of the halves and Patchell did very well to pick up off his bootlaces. The Welsh continued to probe and it was Hooper who was eventually penalised for coming in over the top. Patchell lined up for the kick and scored taking the game to 813 extend ing the Welsh lead. It was another penalty three minutes later against Australia af ter yet another foul to which Wales again slotted home to
make 816 once again increasing the Welsh scoreline. Nearing half time Genia threw a risky throw and it was plucked out of the air by Welshman Davies, and he sprinted away for the try. Patchell once again took the conversion blowing the mas sive 16point margin at half time with the score at 823. Forty two minutes into the second half Wales burst down the wing. Fifteen metres out, they set up nicely, it was passed back to Patchell, and he slotted home the dropkick. It was a great start by Wales making it 826. Straight after on 45 minutes Toomua took a half break before HaylettPetty made a burst. He looked inside for Toomua again. They were about a metre short of the line that saw desperate tryline defence from the Welsh. But it was Pocock who drew two defenders before finding the fullback outside him

once again. It was a fine flowing move ending in a great try. Toomua lined up the conversion. Straight over it went for 1526. Wales defended well until the 60th minute when Australia set up a maul, but it went nowhere. They spun wide and Hooper’s eyes lit up taking Australia a me tre short of the line, Hooper popped it under the sticks, claim ing it. It was pure muscle from both sides. Such an incredible de fensive effort from Wales, but the gold No 7 eventually found a way. Toomua with the kick scored taking the game to 22 26. Sixtysix minutes in and a penalty was awarded against Wales an infringement in the scrum and Toomua kicked well for another three points and re duced the score to 2526.

Ireland mauled by Japan IRELAND had a bad day at the office in terms of World Cup Rugby as they lost 1912 to the hosts of the tournament Japan. Throughout the game, Japan were the more determined team as well as quicker and sharper in play which the Irish team could not cope with. The country of Japan waited in anticipation as their team on home soil awaited the hooter on 80 minutes after a tremendous display of quality rugby and causing a huge world cup shock. The Irish captain Rory Best in fairness was magnanimous in de feat saying: “We knew how tough it was going to be. Anyone that thought it wasn’t was utterly shocked, they hadn’t seen how good they are. “We came with a game plan and we felt we were really prepared. Give credit to them, they played really well and we made a few mis takes, a few unforced errors and were on the wrong side of the penalty count. They posed a lot of questions and we could not come up with the answers.” Meanwhile, the Japanese head coach was flying. He said: “We’re ecstatic about the result, we’re very proud of the players. We had a plan and have trained for a long time, we have been thinking about this game for quite a long time and obviously, Ireland had only been thinking about it for the last six or seven days. For us, it’s been a great performance. “You have to be careful before the game, you don’t want to come across too arrogant and cocky. We had a lot of belief in our game plan and knew how strong Ireland were. Credit to my coaching team, at the setpiece we were able to hold theirs. “Now it’s phase two, we have got another couple of games to go but we will enjoy tonight I reckon.”
