UNITED by John Smith
TWO of Euro Weekly News’ younger readers Raife (nine) and Lani (six) are great fans of Manchester United and when they found out they were training in the hills above Marbella they persuaded their mother Loreili to take them to the training camp. When they arrived, there was a security guard at the front of the pitch and when they asked if they could go in and see the players he explained that only the manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could allow that. Children don’t have the fear of embarrassment that many adults do so they both shouted out “Manager, manager, we love the team can we come in?” Clearly impressed by their chutzpah, the manager came out and quietly ushered them into the training ground where they got the chance to meet

Six-year-old Lani who is doing well with learning Spanish decided that she should be polite and speak to goalkeeper David de Gea in his own language which came as a bit of a surprise to him. After spending time meeting and chatting with all of the players they were given a signed Manchester United shirt and left, having had an incredible time. Whilst we read about the greed and arrogance of some football stars, the entire MU team helped to redress the balance with their kindness and friendliness to two young fans.

LET’S PARTY: Everyone joins in at Carnival.
Carnival comes to Malaga AS a major Spanish city, Malaga has a large population who know how to party and with Carnival literally just around the corner, there will be plenty to see and do. It starts on Friday February 21 and the fun keeps going until Sunday March 1 with something for everyone with the main events taking place in the famous Calle Larios and the Plaza de la Constitución. The dedicated carnival lights are now hung in Calle Larios alongside the Christmas lights and the harlequin is in place under the Marqués de Larios statue. Saturday February 22 sees the official
start of the Carnival at 9pm with the grand opening at 9pm and the Carnival Royalty (god and goddesses) will be chosen. At the same time there is also the Drag Queen Contest Plaza de la Constitución which sees some of Malaga’s finest in high heels and giant wigs compete to be crowned Queen of Malaga. Every day there is something for everyone with parades, the Battle of the Flowers and then on the last day, the formal setting fire of a giant Boquerone at La Malagueta beach to mark the start of Lent.
OFFICERS working for the Local Police in Marbella have had some good news as the council has invested €300,000 to supply 210 new safety vests and 35 helmets as well as two new vehicles already this year. It is part of an ongoing commitment to modernise the local force which it is responsible for so that it can offer an even better service to residents and the everincreasing tourist population. One major advantage of the new helmets is that they incorporate an internal communications system in order to increase efficiency and allow quicker response times.

Costa del Sol Samaritans SAMARITANS IN SPAIN is an organisation operated by a group of volunteers who make themselves available by telephone to any English speaker across the whole of Spain and the Islands, of any age, who is experiencing emotional problems of any kind. It is based on the established Samaritan model, which has been in operation in the UK since 1953 and which helped the setting up of the Spanish arm on the Costa Blanca. Now there is a relatively new branch on the Costa del Sol which is based in Sotogrande, but covers much of the area up to Marbella and now has the recently constructed, but still in its infancy Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Samaritans CostadelSol/.

This young star is one of Denmark’s most promising players who created a record when he became the youngest ever player to win the Danish national championship before he was 16 and has since won the under-18 title at Roland Garos last year. As the tournament is now being sponsored by Danish entrepreneur Janus Rægaard Nielsen CEO of AnyTech365, it seemed most appropriate to invite his sporting compatriate to take part in the tournament which is part of the ATP Challenger series which earns points for individual standings.

Safer beaches ESTEPONA Council in collaboration with the Association of Chiringuitos de Malaga (Achima) are to ensure that the town’s beaches will be much safer as defibrillators are to be installed in different establishments. Restaurant staff will be trained in the use of the equipment which could mean the difference between life and death and by keeping those who have suffered heart attacks stable whilst emergency services arrive could make all the
difference. In addition, the council with the Civil Protection Unit will train staff to deal with other life-threatening problems in the case of loss of consciousness, choking or bleeding again to keep those affected breathing until medics arrive. The council is committed to the safety of residents and tourists and has since 2014 been installing defibrillators in sports centres and facilities around the town as well as public halls and two Civil Protection vehicles.

You may remember that María José Guerrero, a 51-year-old housekeeper, had 10 hours to spend her winnings in associated establishments around the town, and boy did she make the most of it!

Obviously María wanted to treat herself to ‘some whims’ and nice gifts for her friends and family after a few compli-

Also, she had promised to buy her brother a new microwave and keeping true to her word she popped into Galerías Sedeño to pick one out for him. To wind down at the end of her ‘once in a lifetime day’ she had booked a dinner for all her friends and family at Casa Juan, where she had picked up the winning ticket that led to the prize. María who lives in Ciudad Jardín had only a few months ago changed her job as a cook in a nursery to cleaning a house in Malaga. On Thursday she managed to feel like a queen.
thieves
POLICE in Malaga have dismantled a gang of thieves who opened cars without forcing them, which leads officers to believe that they had copied the codes of the keys through some radiofrequency system. Four young people, one 19-year-old and three minors, of 15, 16 and 17 years, have been arrested as alleged perpetrators of vehicle theft. The events took place around 5.10am on February 2 at the entrance to Bulevar Presidente Adolfo Suárez when a police patrol noticed five individuals who seemed to be stealing from parked vehicles, four of them entering a car while the fifth opened another nearby.
Upon becoming aware of the police presence, the young men ran away whilst off-loading several stolen objects as they left the scene. The officer who gave chase managed to catch one of the individuals when he tried to climb a two-metre high wall. An officer chasing them in a police car managed to catch another three, but lost one. When the police returned to the scene, they discovered a total of six vehicles open, all of them from the same car make, and specifically five of the same model. Inside they had ransacked the cars and tried to steal LCD screens, breaking them in the process.

THE roots of International Women’s Day can be traced back to 1908 when 15,000 women
marched through New York City demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights.
The movement is now in over 100 countries with many countries celebrating the day as an official
holiday. The day is a celebration of respect and appreciation of the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The evening of March 11 at Our Space Marbella, sees the celebrations start with an open networking evening for Women in Business from 6.30pm to 8.30pm. Then March 12 is the eighth International Women’s Day Conference at Andalucia Lab in Marbella, designed with Women in Business in mind.

Jackie Groundsell said “Imagine what you can gain from all this expert advice and help. Expect inspiration, motivation and new ways for thinking about your business to help ‘Make it Happen’ in 2020!” Tickets are available at http://bit.ly/IWD20Mar bella Ali Meehan said “The Conference will again support two charities, AMUSUVIG - Asociacion de Mujeres Supervivientes

BREXIT BRIEF
Labour at odds over Brexit TWO of the main minds behind the Labour Party Brexit policy have given completely opposing views on whether it was right or wrong. Sir Keir Starmer who is standing to be the next Labour leader told Sky News that he is still convinced that saying that the party would go for another referendum if elected was the right thing to do but he wished they had gone further and given an indication of which side the party would support. John McDonnell the Shadow ONE immediate benefit to British taxpayers now that Brexit has been finalised in principle is the reduction of the cost of travel which saw more than 2,200 return journeys by MPs and civil servants to negotiate in Brussels at a cost of almost €500,000. This information was released by the government following a Freedom of Information request from the Guardian newspaper to

COULD BACKFIRE: Sir Keir Starmer on the fruitless campaign trail.
One Brexit saving the now closed Department for Exiting the European Union. Considering that there were large numbers of British officials based permanently in Brussels it seems that the number of visits
could have been reduced and indeed as negotiations continue with regards to the actual deal and whilst the number of visits will be less during 2020, there will still be a significant cost to cover. This amount pales into insignificance however as the Institute for Government estimated as long ago as 2017 that the likely cost of leaving would be £2 (€2.4) billion.
Chancellor in a separate interview said that whilst a staunch Remainer, he now realised that it was a mistake and that the party should have understood the mood of the country. At the time, he was convinced that the indication of a referendum would convince Labour supporters to vote as they would normally do but in the end, it became clear that Boris Johnson won so convincingly because the tide of opinion agreed that Brexit should just be pushed through. Now various Labour party ‘names’ are revealing that they warned against being seen to support a second referendum and that Labour should have looked to appease their high percentage of leave supporting voters. As members appear to be blaming each other for the reason that they were so soundly trounced, it seems that the continued support that Sir Keir Starmer is giving to the policy could backfire on him as he endeavours to take over from Jeremy Corbyn.

THE name Portillo is best known in the UK when associated with former Conservative government minister and now TV presenter Michael Portillo. It is also a well-known name on the Costa del Sol as bus company Portillo y Cia SL was formed in the 1920s and operated from Malaga to Gibraltar. Until recently, the company that grew from it, CTSA Portillo
was involved in the running of the bus station in La Linea de la Concepcion, but it has just had its licence revoked by the council as it believed that the company had allowed the station to fall into disrepair. The council is now putting the contract out to tender as it believes that it is important that the town is not let down by visitors seeing a dilapidated building.

More than 400 guests took part in the gala which raised around €75,000 for the charity on the Inter-
national Day of Childhood Cancer and many municipalities in the Campo took part to show their support for this worthy cause. Last year, the San Roque Council entered into several collaborative agreements with the charity and was pleased to support a solidarity event in Guadiaro last October as it reflects the support that residents of the town have for this exceptional charity.

AGGRESSOR TRAVELLED BY BIKE: Two men were stabbed early morning.
A case of two stabbings THE Prosecutor’s Office has asked for 14 years in jail for a young Colombian man accused of stabbing two pedestrians in Fuengirola. The events, which occurred at the end of November 2018, caused great concern among the residents of the town since the attacks had been randomly aimed at two pedestrians without any form of motive. The stabbings took place close to the Fuengirola bus station and promenade. The first of the events was recorded at 7.35am on November 23 when a 50-year-old British man was on his way to work and was hit by the suspect, who was riding a bike. Continuing on his way he touched his back and realised that he was bleeding. The Prosecutor’s Office assures that he was attacked from behind to prevent him
from defending himself. The stabbing caused a lung injury for which he would have died if he had not received urgent medical treatment. The second of the attacks took place only five minutes later, about 200 metres away from the first. In this case, the suspect approached the victim, a Brazilian, with the excuse of asking him for a cigarette. Then stabbed him up to five times, luckily the injuries he caused were not so serious. The Prosecutor’s Office insists that the defendant must be punished for a crime of attempted murder and another for injuries. In addition to the aforementioned prison sentence, they have also requested €6,400 of compensation for the man seriously injured and €5,300 for the other.

Bad drivers THE young people of Malaga are among the most reckless drivers according to a study, prepared from the 2018 data of the Automobile Insurance Statistics (ESA). The report shows that this specific group causes more accidents than more experienced drivers. Slight collisions are typical of urban circulation and traffic jams and the boys and girls of Madrid, Sevilla and Malaga, all of which are provinces with some relevant metropolitan area, are the ones that get the worst marks in all of Spain, and are, therefore, the most reckless. In preparing for the report, a method was used in which accidents are differentiated according to their severity. In this way, those accidents where there were any injured or deceased have been considered serious. Minor accidents are those cases in which only material damage occurred. In addition, an evaluation from one to 10 was established to measure the probability of an accident.

As reported by investigators working on the case, the detainees - a mother, father and son - had confronted a local resident in Ronda with the firearm in regards to a dispute that took place over Christmas. When officers arrived at the scene they heard shots being fired into the air, with the three family members fleeing in their car. A dramatic police chase then pursued with police being able to intercept the car a short time later.
The mother and father were arrested and put in handcuffs, however the son had escaped on foot running through the streets with the weapon. He was later found hiding out in a recycling bin with the shotgun in his hand. Upon a search of the vehicle a haul of illegal weapons were found, including an additional firearm, 17 cartridges, three knives and an axe. As Euro Weekly News understands, all of the arrested individuals have been charged with intimidation with violence, possession of illegal weapons and child neglect as four minors were found in the family’s home without any adult supervision.

Dogs of rock ON February 23, the ninth edition of Perrock, a rock festival that do-
nates all its collection to different animal shelters of the town and its surrounding areas, will be held in the Fuengirola Feria ground. José Manuel Martín, Youth councillor, has announced this year’s event. “This festival of music will be held from 11am to 11pm. During this time, a dozen artists will perform on stage, including Paco Ventura, guitarist of the famous band Medina Azahara and his son, Gato Ventura, as headliners this year,” explained Martin. In addition to these singers, the bands that have already confirmed attendance at the event are The Coovers, Crummy, Tribute Rock Band, 5 d’Copas, Rewind Band and Moon Rockets. “There will also be stands for animal shelters,
vegetarian food stalls and even a performance by the canine patrol,” said Martin, who has encouraged pet lovers to attend the event, even accompanied by their faithful friends. “Fuengirola is an animal-friendly town. Throughout the year we carry out numerous initiatives to promote pet ownership and we always aim to favour their coexistence in public spaces and in daily life. We are proud to be the headquarters of the Perrock, an initiative that donates all its collections to different shelters so they can meet the maintenance costs of their facilities.” Tickets costing €5, can be bought on the door, and include access to the site, a drink and entry in a raffle.

Manchester Building Society’s headache over Spanish loan book The story of Manchester Building Society’s (‘MBS’) venture in Spain is threatening to end in tears. What was devised - and sold to the public - in 2008 onwards as a responsible, safe and law-compliant lifetime mortgage ‘from a prestigious UK Building Society available to European Nationals who are Spanish residential property owners and are fully fluent in English,’ has turned into a serious financial drag that is jeopardising the future of the company. MBS executives already knew that lending overseas (up to £58m) was a risky business, risk that was to be mitigated - in-
tendedly - by entering into ‘swap’ contracts, which are complex financial instruments designed to hedge risk of adverse interest rate fluctuations. Time proved them right: already in the first half of 2016, MBS posted losses of £1.4m, half of which were related to Spanish lifetime mortgages. Those losses were mainly attributed to a technicality on how those ‘swaps,’ used to limit the risk of Spanish mortgage loans and others, were accounted for. So, in 2011, a review on the methodology of accounting the cost of the swaps meant that MBS’s profit of £6.35 million for 2011 became a loss of

£11.44 million. Grant Thornton got sued for purportedly providing wrong advice but won. Fast forward seven years to the society’s 2018 annual report and accounts where, quite apart from mentioning the word Spanish 24 times, identified the Spanish loan book as the first ‘key judgement area most significant for the group.’ In 2019, the society auditors expressed doubts as to the viability of the company as a going concern, after posting losses of circa £1 million. For its part, and this is probably the most relevant aspect, Spain-based borrowers have found that
they are no longer receiving any more payments under the schemes, despite MBS contractually undertaking significant loan advances, on the par with home valuations. One of such borrower contracted a €200k loan of which only €30k was advanced, leaving him in a precarious financial situation. Borrowers (over 200 across Spain) now have an opportunity to terminate these agreements and clear the mortgages on their properties, due to MBS defaulting on their contractual commitments, but still retaining the advance payments as compensation.

Pancake Day! SHROVE TUESDAY: It’s traditional to eat pancakes on this day.
PANCAKE DAY, or Shrove Tuesday, February 25 this year, is a day which moves around, depending on when Easter lands that year! It immediately precedes Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent), which is celebrated in some countries by consuming pancakes. It was traditional in many societies to eat pancakes or other foods made with the butter, eggs and fat that would be given up during the Lenten season. The word shrove comes from the
English word shrive, which means to obtain absolution for one’s sins by way of Confession and doing penance. It is also known as Mardi Gras (French for fat Tuesday), and in some places is known as a carnival day. ‘Carnival’ derives from Medieval Latin carnelevamen (‘the putting away of flesh’) adding another aspect of the Lenten fast, to abstain from eating meat. It is often celebrated with street processions or fancy dress.

Voice of the youth THE Youth Council of Fuengirola has welcomed the involvement of several government departments to promote different initiatives aimed at young people in
the areas of Sports, Education, Culture and Festivities. A recent meeting gave the young people of Fuengirola a voice making them participants in decision-making on issues related to this sector of the population. During the meeting, the department requested the database of people interested in receiving information on activities should be expanded. Also, a survey to know the tastes and preferences of youth and adolescents should
be distributed among the youth representatives of secondary schools. The Youth Council also proposed the creation of sports days where young people can meet and practice the different pastimes that are offered by the Department of Sport. Also, they suggested the development of a series of TED-type talks, that is, small conferences of about 15 minutes on different topics that result from the interest of young people, such as Physics, Astronomy, Chemistry, Art or History.

Replacing a lost or expired British passport from Spain WITH Brexit just around the cor ner, if you have less than six months life left on your passport it would be a good i d e a t o re n e w s o o n e r r a t h e r than later. Quite often when different official forms are digitalised, it becomes more rather than less confusing and you need to have a degree in programming in order to proceed. For once however, the British government has made things much easier and far less complicated in applying for a replacement passport if yours has been lost or is about to expire. No longer do you need to supply lots of forms including birth certificates and to have a photograph physically signed on the back by someone who knows you and it really is now quite easy if you have access to a computer. Very simply visit https://www.gov. uk/overseas-passports and you’re taken through the whole process step by step and the only drawback is that there isn’t a single page detailing everything including costs as you have to go through a page at a time. There is however a passports link which does give quite a lot of information on the website, but not everything. Even if you have lost or had your passport stolen, you are not precluded for applying online for a replacement, but you have to declare it lost in advance also online. As a real bonus you can now use digital photograph and there are quite explicit rules about what is acceptable as you navigate the website and whilst it may take a couple of attempts, provided you remove any glasses and stand in front of a
white background, a selfie taken with a phone will probably work ok. If you are not happy using a phone camera, then most towns have at least one print shop where they can photograph you and give you a digital image on a memory stick or card. As you progress through the procedure you will be best served by having access to details of your previous passport, but it isn’t actually essential and the site does report back to a human in the UK who can check. When you post your photograph, you will be asked to give details (including email address) of a person of standing who can confirm that they know you and that the photograph is of you. The whole process can take up to six weeks from start to finish and this will include delivery via courier to your address in Spain and you have to pay with a debit or credit card for the cost of the passport (depends upon number of pages) and courier fee at the time of submitting the application online. You will be sent a special code which will allow you to track your passport through all of its stages. In the event that you have lost your passport and need a temporary replacement, that can also be done online. It is more expensive than a normal passport, is usually good for one round trip only and will normally be issued by the British Consulate in Malaga. For those without computers, it is still possible to apply through the post and there are even different shops with English-speaking staff scattered around Spain where for a fee they will help you complete the forms and send them off for you.

UNIQUE: The orchestra and choir in performance.
COLLEGIUM MUSICUM believes that it is unique on the Costa del Sol as it is the only musical society that gives amateur singers and instrumentalists the opportunity to make music together with professional musicians. It is a flourishing international society that reflects the cosmopolitan nature of the Costa del Sol with over 100 singers and instrumentalists from some 20 nationalities. In their concerts which take place in May and December each year, they perform a variety of choral music from the last 400 years, usually accompanied by instruments and orchestral music ranging from the Renaissance through the Baroque, Classical and
Romantic periods as well as works by contemporary composers. Rehearsals take place in Los Boliches, Fuengirola every Tuesday evening from September to May and Collegium Musicum is a non-profit-making society; members pay a yearly fee, but the society is very dependent on sponsorship from Friends and Patrons. Since May 2011 the Camerata Singers of Sotogrande have joined them for the Spring Concerts and this year, they will perform for the fourth year running at the Hotel IPV Palace & Spa in Fuengirola on May 24 with music by Beethoven and Mozart.

Marina tender THREE companies have responded to the call for tender issued in December by the Fuengirola Council for the construction of a new marina for the town. The mayor, Ana Mula considers this to be the most important new project imaginable which has the potential to change the entire fabric of the municipality. The tender called for a plan which would cover an area of 30,000 square
metres with no residential buildings and required the successful bidder to undertake work to stabilise the beaches between the Fuengirola river and the port on the one side and the Real stream and the port on the other. In return the successful company would be granted a 40-year concession which is extendable if both sides agree and the aim is to create a port for the people which would become a major
hub for both tourists and investment. All tenders will be scrutinised by a panel of experts with the council committing €220,000 to the review project and will expect to have a decision made shortly with the requirement that the final contract be entered into within four months. Once complete, the development will be a magnet for visitors and create large numbers of jobs for local residents.

Speaking to an audience of individuals representing economic, educational, social and residents associations of the municipality, she made it clear that she wants this to be in part a people’s plan. It will be for these groups and residents to say what they want to see in the general plan and there will be an opportunity to make comments and recommendations via the Marbella Council website. There is quite a long time scale as the plan will be worked on by the summer of this year with the hopes that it will be finalised within the first six months of 2021. The council looks to exceed the requirements required by law to allow as many people as possible to participate.

Padel, a fast growing IT was in 1969, that wealthy businessman Enrique Corcuera decided to adapt his home squash court in Acapulco Mexico so that he could play a form of indoor tennis and this is generally considered to herald the invention of the game
now known as Padel (or Padel Tennis). He had a friend, Alfonso of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, founder of Marbella Club visiting and after he played on the court, he had two Padel courts built in Marbella so arguably,
Marbella is the Spanish home of this fast growing sport. Spain now has more than 1,000 Padel clubs and the popularity of the game which has very similar rules to Tennis continues to attract new players with most matches and courts being set up for doubles. There is a very healthy professional side to the sport and last year, Marbella hosted one of the tournaments recognised by the World Padel Association for the first time and now the Marbella Masters returns to the city when professionals compete at the Elena Benítez Sports Palace in San Pedro Alcantara from March 3 to 8. In recognition of this, the council has arranged for a number of Spanish professionals to give lessons to schoolchildren at a range of different Padel clubs throughout the municipality.

The fact that new equipment is being installed will not only improve the look of the area, but reflects the council’s commitment to health, sport and integration as half of the new units are adapted so that people who have some type of disability will be able to find more and better facilities when they want to exercise.

He endeared himself to many local people as during his term he wore a cap badge with the word ‘Gibraltar’ on it that commemorates the capture and defence of the Rock. One of the many ways in which he has discharged his representation of Her Majesty the Queen has been on the parade ground, not least in the Ceremony of the Keys. Since the capture of the Rock in 1704, the Keys of Gibraltar have symbolised the possession of the
Fortress by Great Britain and these Keys have come to be regarded as the seals of office of the Governor and as such are handed over from one Governor to the next. In order to thank the Governor and his wife Lorraine for all of their positive work during their four year stay in Gibraltar, the government presented them with a mini replica in Sterling Silver of the Iron Keys to the Fortress that was held on parade at successive Ceremonies of the Keys.
Goodbye Gate Guardian FOR 11 years, a mothballed RAF Jaguar GR1, known as the Gate Guardian guarded RAF Gibraltar but is to be removed and dismantled later this month. All RAF stations around the world have what’s known as a Gate Guardian which is a piece of obsolete equipment, normally an aircraft, mounted on a plinth and used as a static display symbolically guarding the entrance. The Jaguar, an aircraft which had been a regular visitor to Gibraltar during its service life replaced a Vulcan Bomber which had previously fulfilled the role.
According to the Ministry of Defence which manages the airfield, deterioration resulting from the high salt content in Gibraltar’s atmosphere has led to the Jaguar becoming a hazard to health and flight safety. A team from the Joint Aircraft Recovery and Transportation Squadron based at MOD Boscombe Down will arrive later this month to carefully dismantle the aircraft, XX956, which will then be loaded into containers for return to the UK. At this stage it is not known when or what it will be replaced with.
THE Government of Gibraltar in tandem with HM Customs Gibraltar has signed an agreement with JTI, Japan Tobacco International, to protect the legitimate trade in tobacco products and foster a stable and transparent tobacco market in Gibraltar. JTI Spain is one of the largest manufacturers and importers of cigarettes and rolling tobacco in Europe and handles such brands as Winston, Camel, Silk Cut, Benson and Hedges, American Spirit, Old Holborn and many more which are popular with smugglers trying to move cigarettes from Gibraltar into Spain. The Memorandum of Understanding outlines the basis of a cooperation framework that includes
the sharing of information and best practices, product authenticity identification and training to HM Customs, Gibraltar on counterfeit recognition. The signing ceremony took place in the Wessex Lounge of Gibraltar International Airport in the presence of the Hon Fabian Picardo, Chief Minister of Gibraltar, Mr John Rodríguez, Collector of Customs of HM Customs Gibraltar and Mr Tom Osborne, JTI Iberia General Manager and members of the Anti-Illicit Trade Department of JTI. Both parties agreed that it was important to do all that can be done to eradicate the illicit movement of tobacco which promotes disrespect for the law and disrupts public security.
Referendum on abortion IT is within living memory that the Bishop of Gibraltar had so much sway and the Catholic Church was so strong that it was able to persuade the then government to ban the import of magazines such as Playboy onto the Rock. So much has changed since then and now Gibraltar has become far more permissive, recognising gay marriages and although the current Bishop who arrived from Malta is considered conservative, the church certainly has less power than it ever did. One area however that has sparked considerable controversy is the matter of abortion which is not currently freely allowed in Gibraltar and because of this, rather than legislate, the government has decided to allow registered voters to guide its decision by way of a referendum which takes place on March 19. Voters are being encouraged to ensure they are registered to take part in the referendum and two lead organisations, Gibraltar for Yes and Gibraltar Pro Life Movement are recognised as lead campaign groups over this decision. The outcome is of the vote will depend upon how strongly voters feel on the matter.

Greener airports
Cancellation may be costly THERE could be lawsuits worth mil lions of euros flying around Barcelona following the very late cancellation of one of the world’s largest mobile phone exhibitions apparently due to the Coronavirus. Two weeks ago it was reported that one of the largest stand holders at the World Mobile Congress, Sam sung of South Korea, had pulled out of the show in order to ensure that their staff were not exposed to po tential danger leaving a huge hole. Then as others started debating whether or not to continue to partici pate, the organisers GSMA which has
By John Smith offices all over the world, made a last minute decision to cancel the show completely blaming it on the inability of some companies to travel and blaming the decision on the Coron avirus. Now it is all about who will pay for the lost costs of all of the companies which were due to take part and whether there will be insurance to recompense them. Unfortunately for GSMA, not only will they lose the goodwill of cus tomers (many which are very rich), they may not be able to rely upon
‘force majeure’ as neither the World Health Organisation nor the Catalan government instructed them to can cel the show. One official commented that the action appeared to be because of fear of an outbreak, because at the time no individuals had been infected. In such a scenario, should the insur ance taken out by the stand holders (and those booked to speak at the WMC) not cover them, it seems most likely that they will seek redress from GSMA. Lawyers will already be gathering to give advice to all concerned.
AENA, the company which man ages airport facilities around the world and whose biggest share holder is the Spanish government has contracts to take over control at six Brazilian airports. The contract is believed to be worth €404 million to the compa ny and it has vowed to ensure that each site will be as energy efficient as possible with the in troduction of renewable sources, especially solar power. It has also pledged to spend €250 million to clean up and up grade the electric supply at the airports it manages in Spain.
LEGALLY SPEAKING
What is 3/5 Majority? Our AGM is coming up soon. I have just read your piece in the EWN and found it very infor mative but wondered if you could clarify your last sentence. ‘The majority must include the Quotas or Par ticipation Shares.’ What are they? M S (Costa Blanca) The Law of Horizontal Property notes that YOU AND THE a measure will be LAW IN SPAIN passed by ‘A majori ty of owners who at the same time represent the majority of property shares.’ This concept of ‘double majority’ needs explanation. Each owner has one vote as an owner of a property. He also has another vote, which is weighted according to his share in the total property. This is your quota. For example, if there are 100 flats all the same size, each owner will have a par ticipation share of 1 per cent. This percentage determines your community fee. Problems can arise when one owner has a very large property and so he has a large participation share. His vote counts for more. In communities with flats of various sizes and thus various quotas, the picture gets more complicated. I hope this clears up the issue.

According to the supermarket, more than 1,800 tons were certi fied as coming from sustainable grounds by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and a further 800 tons were approved by GLOBALG.AP with their GGN seal. Eroski claims that it is the first

supermarket in Spain to receive sustainability confirmation from MSC and GLOBALG.AP. The company says that it is com mitted to satisfy its increasingly en vironmentally aware band of cus tomers and that it is doing all it can to provide fish which will be re placed and therefore not causing decimation amongst the various species on offer. To add to its total, it confirmed that it had also stocked some 300 tons of fish of 50 species which had been caught using cane fishing poles rather than any other less ac ceptable means. Finally, the fresh tuna that it of fered was approved by the Atún de Pesca Responsible division of AENOR another Spanish organisa tion which is involved in managing standardisation and certification in a range of different industries in cluding fishing. Clearly not all the supermarket’s fish product is certified sustainable, but it guarantees that if any fresh fish item carries the ecolabel then it will have been recorded as com ing from a sustainable source.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT SOMETHING really has to be done about these ludicrous ‘human rights.’ To be honest I don’t even know what the term actually means. And there of course lies the true problem. The more obscure and complicated any point of law can actually be, the more the money grabbing lawyers can exploit them - which of course make them the last people on earth who would want them clarified. In fact, complexity and confusion in matters of law, is like money in the bank for this unscrupulous bunch of legal parasites. This latest fiasco once again brought the whole disgraceful debacle on to the front pages. Last week 42 Jamaican nationals were due to be deported after being convicted of offences ranging from manslaughter and firearms to rape and drugs. Lawyers (who else) stepped in and said that a large number of them shouldn’t be deported because their ‘uman rites’ had been denied.

There lies the problem
HUMAN RIGHTS: To be honest, I don’t even know what the term actually means. How? Wait for it. They hadn’t been able to get a signal on their mobile phones to ring their - yes you’ve guessed it - lawyers! The legal Mafia, no doubt riding high on tax payers’ money; subsequently presented their case and the judge agreed. Because of the mobile phone fiasco, 25 of these toe rags couldn’t be kicked out. No doubt these numbskulls couldn’t get their heads around a landline!
The thing that once more emerges from the actions of these legalised con merchants is they yet again find themselves in a win win situation. The lawyers of course never lose. Well it’s about time they were curbed. From their persecution of our brave servicemen, to getting murderers and rapists released back on the streets, these people are not interested in justice, all they are interested in are their
own self-centered ends - and the human rights laws are a licence for them to print (tax payers’) money. Well I think that these ‘rights’ should be resolved during the trial. Judges, in the sentencing of those who have totally ignored the human rights of their victims, should have the power to decree human rights ‘denied’ or ‘minimal’ human rights. Lawyers receiving legal aid remuneration from the public purse
should have their fees capped at a reasonable level. Weed out the ambulance chasers and those without any moral conscience whatsoever and their illgotten gains could be put toward the branches of law and order that put the law abiding public first. Not as a means for lawyers to buy another villa in the south of France. It’s all about money isn’t it? The Saudis have the means, the space and the money, to lay a temporary airfield right next to those poor suffering Kurdish civilian refugees. They could easily build a vast tented camp in their country and fly every one of their innocent fellow Sunnis out in a month. But they won’t will they? This spoiled bunch of utter wasters would rather bribe and blackmail the West to totally leave them out of the whole refugee crisis altogether. Money over morals. Never ends does it.

GOOP ACCUSED OF PEDDLING FAKE NEWS 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
IN a recent speech, NHS boss Sir Simon Stevens hit out at ‘quacks, charlatans and cranks’ who spread fake news about health on social media including Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand Goop for selling products with no proven health benefits. It has always surprised me that actors or actresses who have become celebrities for basically reading and performing the lines and instructions of screenplay writers and directors are given such a seal of approval for their opinions on topics completely unrelated to their sphere of activity. Generally speaking, you’d need to justify your views on any subject by demonstrating your qualifications, experience or abilities applicable to the subject matter. They seem to have been given a platform to speak from that goes
GOOP: No proven health benefits.
way beyond their qualifications, knowledge or expertise. As for products such as Goop’s, they’re based on a motley combination of three eternal myths: they promise ‘The Fountain of Youth’; they’re ‘The Panacea for Everything’ or they contain ‘Mystery Ingredient X.’ Often backed up by scientific-sounding words (‘Lab’ in this case), or anecdotal plugs. But why is this ‘quackery’ (in Sir Simon’s own words) even allowed to boom in the modern era? People are so gullible, easily taken in by superstars who are the only winners making millions out of such unproven nonsense. Naturally, fake news thrives while evidence is tossed aside as irrelevant. What would happen if NHS
doctors rejected evidence-based medicine and turned to such unsubstantiated practices? They’d be rightly struck off, certainly not filling their coffers with their spoils. Trump and Paltrow are effectively doing the same thing. They’re offering hope and fulfilment to the ill-informed and those in despair through simple solutions that are patently not evidence based. However, on a positive note, I’m sorry that Sir Simon failed to acknowledge the health benefits that this silly woman has brought by adding to the joy of the nation at her antics. “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.” Albert Einstein.

Are they really anti-animal? MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man O K f o l k s h e re ’s t h e l a t e s t bonkers suggestion. If I didn’t know better I’d have thought it was April Fool’s day. PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has launched a campaign to end ‘anti-animal’ sayings like ‘kill two birds with one stone’ and ‘bring home the bacon.’ Are they anti-animal? Has some budgie complained it’s offended? ‘Just as it became unacceptable to use racist, homophobic, or ableist language, phrases that trivialise cruelty to animals will vanish as more people begin to appreciate animals for who they are and start ‘bringing home the bagels’ instead of the bacon,’ PETA wrote on Twitter. Yup you read it correctly. In another tweet, the organisation gave alternative language to such phrases to help people ‘remove speciesism’ from their conversations. Instead of ‘kill two birds with one stone,’ people should now say ‘Feed two birds
with one scone.’ ‘Take the flower by the thorns’ should replace ‘Take the bull by the horns.’ What is happening for goodness sake? All you groups like PETA just stop because all you are going to do is distract from all the good things you do. I’ve been getting a ridiculous amount of emails telling me I’ve either got a load of money coming to me or do this or that to stop a load of money being taken from me. They are all, of course, scams. I have so many Nigerian Princes and Government Ministers throwing dosh at me at the moment. It must work with some people or they wouldn’t keep doing it, but not with me or any of you. One that I must admit made me have a double take was from Pay Pal, or purporting to be, telling me ‘Act now, or your account will be deactivated.’ or ‘Security breach on your account.’ This, of course, can cause you to panic, but when you look it’s not from PayPal at all. The biggest giveaway is it’s not actually addressed to you. It says ‘Dear valued customer’ whereas any genuine company will always use your name. Oh and finally a bit of good news. I finally got my Spanish driving licence which I applied for last May. RESULT!

MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING WHEN I got up on Monday morning I anticipated a possibly more manic Monday than usual as my daughter, son-inlaw and granddaughter were making their way to Malaga to the infant maternity hospital for my 18-month-old granddaughter to have an operation. We had been anticipating this moment for over a year and although a minor surgical intervention in theory it did entail cutting around her throat and a full anaesthetic. I was intent on keeping my cool for the sake of the family but carried a sense of tension with me all day, anxiously waiting for the phone call with the all clear and the OK to visit. I’m delighted to say that the operation went well and with the exception of a few hysterics when my daughter wasn’t allowed in the room whilst the doctors checked on the baby,

Another manic Monday
THIS WEEK: My Monday was more manic than anticipated. without further incident. (She prevailed by the way).
It can’t be easy for the doctors and nurses to get their work
done whilst having to explain and deal with parents; equally difficult for the parents and grandparents though! Even so I have to say the staff were wonderful and did their best to accommodate their tiny patients, parents and family. Once everyone was settled we left for home, emotionally exhausted but relieved. It truly had been a long day and we were now anxious to head back. On reaching the car park though we found out that someone had reversed forcefully into the back of my car and then driven off. Thanks to a young mother leaving the emergency ward with her baby I do have the make and licence plate of the car, left for me on an old envelope in kids crayon with the car park attendant. He apparently was also present and volunteered himself as a witness to the incident if need be.
It was pitch black; the car seemed OK and so we decided to just be on our way. We took the pay road to make the return journey as quick and easy as possible, which in retrospect is just as well as the car broke down in billows of black smoke just as we pulled up to the Marbella toll. At least there I could pull over safely. It also made it a lot easier for the Linea Directa tow truck to rescue us. It was freezing cold and we couldn’t even stay in the car due to the intoxicating smell of burning rubber. The tow truck turned up just 30 minutes after my phone call to the breakdown assistance number and was delighted when I walked through my front door just half an hour after that. Last Monday was unexpectedly more manic than anticipated but with happy endings all round.

TIME OUT
YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Eager Mars meets affluent Jupiter and enriches your financial forecast. It might show a foretaste of money to come, or on-stream benefits. If you intend to make alterations to your personal and home interests, you'll undoubtedly cope with both offbeat and upbeat activities.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) One thing is certain, when you come through this week's restless planetary antics, you won't be totally the same Piscean who walked in. Whether you're figuring out numbers, analysing your dreams, or getting into a playfully social mood, there'll be much to enjoy and put to the test.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Education, media, creative and social connections are given star merit. The solar eclipse in your own sign bursts with vitality and success, more so for an array of bold moves, replacements and makeovers covering your personal affairs.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Stand by for a week of whoosh and whirl. More importantly, try to avoid getting tongue-tied or dogmatic on Tuesday and Friday. Promising potentials appear, especially if you spruce up your competitive streak.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Throughout this fortunate week, whatever else you decide, refuse to discard your hopes and wishes. As a Gemini, you like to have two strings to your bow of life, which gives you an alternative option, especially if the going gets tough.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A vivid star pattern portends a frantic personal and social diary. Ensure that any tight planning is carefully handled, especially if you hope to fit in everything you would like to say. Don't allow Monday or Wednesday's tensions to spoil opportunities for settling something important.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Pave the way for any ambitious schemes you may have, rather than actually starting them. With
your ruler the Sun eclipsing your kindred fire sign, determined Aries, you are now more likely to get the support and affection you need from the powers that be or someone who thinks the world of you. Loosen up on Tuesday and Thursday.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)
‘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.’
Even if the opposite to what you want happens, it could prove useful. One clue to this week's planetary crossword puzzle is ‘What word could also mean success?’ Check it out, and make it work for you. Never forget that important ideas and developments can stem from seemingly trivial discussions.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) The solar eclipse in your opposite sign of Aries intensifies your willpower. Before you say 'go', find out where you stand. It might pay you to leave things be for a little longer to see if anything begins to change. Some of the consequences of your actions will become obvious as your charming ruler Venus begins to have an effect.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) The planets mobilise your streak of Scorpio daring, but don't stretch your limits. Your most effective weapon against personal and work-related pitfalls is your ability to be objective. Your desire to make specific situations and conversations work needs to be combined with your faith that they will work. Even if a different approach is required, try it and see.

Hard-working, enterprising and self-sacrificing are just some of the words that describe your zodiac sign. It will be these qualities that count.

The main gist of the solar eclipse in fiery Aries and the link between plucky Mars and your ruler friendly Jupiter will stir surprises. Whether you create the right atmosphere all round depends on how you interpret other people's views. Stick to crisp, simple but sensitively tuned answers, then no one can accuse you of not trying.

Pleasant CODE OF THE ROAD journey
EURO WEEKLY, I recently read that young people in Malaga are classed as the worst drivers and wondered how Spain fairs as a whole? As a pedestrian and cyclist I just can’t get over the lack of rules of the road out here. Do people literally just not care or are the police too busy catching Eastern European drugs gangs they just don’t have the time to enforce traffic laws. I have been in a car that was stopped once, because the car had French plates, my friend was fined for a silly made up charge. However, most evenings I will see absolute idiots ripping through the towns at ridiculous speeds and I live close to two police stations but have never seen any Spanish people stopped. Is it the driver’s fault or years worth of lazy police work? Oh and don’t even get me started on parking!! Why would anybody invest in a new car here only to have it bounced back and forward whilst a local makes himself a space?

Following a story EWN printed recently in our Axarquia region, regarding a choir who had to leave their rehearsal room, we received some good news from a reader SO pleased to see the news story about Coraxalia. Guess what? Heard from the mayor of Viñuela tonight - he’s promised to get a move on and get a licence to reopen our rehearsal room after 18 months! All thanks to Euro Weekly I bet! Margaret
In response to Leapy Lee’s most recent column, we received some fan mail

LEAPY LEE, I’d shoot the bloody lot of them! Love your column always agree and often laugh. What a world we now live in eh? No need to reply, I know you must get bombarded with emails but just wanted to add my support to you and your pen (well computer no doubt these days, but you get my meaning).

I live part of the year in Spain where we have a townhouse in Fuengirola. If only our country treated foreigners the same as the Spanish, we are given nothing and are expected to conform to Spanish law. I wonder, in your column, if you could ask if there is one English family living in Spain in a council house and claiming benefits? I would be interested to know. Keep up the good work. PS. I di dn ’t pu t k e e p t h e f a i t h because I don’t have any!

An approved Mental Health Practitioner should have been appointed to assess the girl’s mental health and her capacity. If she’s already on (prescribed) medication, her own GP should have referred her to a WellBeing Clinic at least. Her parents should also have tak en responsibility as well. I know the girl is over 18, but even so they should have recog nised she needed help. It’s no excuse for what she has done, but surely we are trying to create a caring society… Someone should step in about the girl’s mental health and get to the root cause of her behaviour?

SO, it seems Meghan and Harry are on a full throttle cull at the moment. First her family, then the royal family and now their faithful staff. Have they never heard the saying that you should not bite the hand that feeds you? Historically people would claim to be loyal subjects to the royal family but it seems that loyalty is very far from the young couple’s minds. Should you push away every part of your life to concentrate on a new life with a loved one? Should it all go wrong and they have a change of heart will they have well and truly burnt all the bridges behind them? With the recent news of the staff being axed will this bloodbath drive a wedge between the two and any respect people may have for them. Sources have pointed out that the couple have decided to hire a team of US-based agents and publicists, many of whom worked for Meghan when she was an actress. The couple have been organising private engagements and briefings with the US team and hired a Canadian designer to create a new website without any involvement from the royal advisers. Maybe we should wish them well and send them on their merry way and hope that neither come home with their tail between their legs.

How to strengthen your immunity
MAKING sure you eat h e a l t h i l y, e x e r c i s e r e g u l a r l y, a n d m i n imise stress levels not to mention keeping unhealthy vices such as smoking and alcohol consumption to a minimum - are just a few things you can do to make sure your immune system is in top shape. Food in particular plays a significant role in having a positive impact on your belly bacteria, which helps to strengthen your immunity. Harvard University re-
s e a rc h r e v e a l e d t h a t the amount of good bacteria in the belly rapidly improved when people are placed on a vegetable-only diet for a few days, so top up on your greens. Many vegetables also contain natural prebiotics, such as artichokes, asparagus, onions, chicory, leek and garlic. These prebiotics pass undigested through the stomach and small intestine so as soon as they reach the large intestine; they help to stimulate the probiotic
bacteria that are in there. Ensuring you have a healthy balance of bacteria in your gut will benefit your digestion and help you to absorb minerals, therefore boosting your immune system. Fermented food such as sauerkraut is also high in probiotic bacte-
ria which can stop harmful bacteria from getting attached to the lining of your gut and growing there. Carbohydrates can also fuel unhealthy bacteria so try to stick to whole grains or sourdough bread, which are high in fibre.
HAPPY TUMMY: A healthy balance of bacteria in your gut will benefit your immune system.
Raising awareness COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL therapist and life coach Dione Lockyer is a mother and wife who, like many of us, went through periods in her life where she wasn’t really sure what direction she was going in. She had always been successful work-wise, but questioned herself about everything, and put herself in a dark place, and pushed away those who loved her the most.
One day, she decided to take some time out and figure out who she really was. She decided to start studying CBT and life coaching. She read endless books, took courses and did lots of research. She applied all of her new-found information to herself and her own situations, and one day it just clicked. She finally felt free, and relaxed, and thought that this needed to be shared with the world! Dione decided to launch her own business as a life coach and cognitive behavioural therapist to try to help other people, and give them the same sense of happiness! With recent news of Caroline Flack taking her own life, Dione decided to reach out via Facebook, and offer help to those feeling down, and the calls came flooding in! She has seen people who she had known for years, and always seemed like a tower of confidence, suddenly come forward. Asking for help is a sign of courage, and this is what so many people misunderstand. This is what has sparked Dione to come up with a

wonderful idea, to try to help the every-day person. She has come up with the idea of a drop-in centre. She spoke to Euro Weekly and asked if there was any way in which we could help, as she knows how much this newspaper likes to give back to the community. A private room was offered to her in our head office in Fuengirola, Malaga. Here, she will offer FREE, completely confidential help. A place where you can come and talk, have a cup of tea or coffee, and try to work through any feelings of loneliness,
anxiety, suicidal feelings… No issue too big or small. Dione understands that the average person cannot afford the kind of help that they may be desperately in need of, and she can’t bear to see any more people suffering in silence. She wants to raise awareness of mental health. You are not alone. This project can provide companionship, and is totally confidential. No names, details, or feelings will be discussed outside of the therapy room. The FREE drop-in support being offered at the Euro Weekly News office will be available every Monday from 09.30-14.00, come rain or shine! Options to later follow with paid courses by Dione with her affordable set up, outside the office will also be available for anyone wanting to go further. Dione offers: • Free drop in support • Online seven week course - ‘7 steps to a positive mind-set’ • 1 to 1 sessions with her at her, or your own place • Coming soon - Group face to face sessions of the ‘seven steps to a positive mind-set’ course.

rather than via coax cable which is the norm in Britain and overall, the service is one of the best in Europe. Speeds of from 100 Meg to 500 Meg are perfectly possible and some of the services of-
fered are great for owners of holiday properties as they can be turned on when you are here and turned off when you are not, with charges only being made when the service is being used.
Not everywhere has access to Fibre yet but the EXP-CONNECT service which offers internet of up to 20 Meg via 4G almost everywhere along the coast is a very useful service which comes at a fixed monthly price with no download limits and in some cases this can also be offered on an on/off basis. The next step will be 5G which will be even faster once fully introduced. In addition to these superb internet options, there is a terrific range of the latest Smart TVs on display in the showroom and these are ready for delivery, installation and tuning by their expert technicians. Not everyone wants to be tied to Spanish TV so the company also offers a selection of packages for satellite and internet free to air TV channels, some of which include a 28-day catch option.

ANDALUCIAN singer, Isabel Pantoja, who has a discography of 30 albums, including 18 platinum discs and eight gold album sales, returns to star on the TV, but not in her own programme! Awaiting the premiere of ‘Idol Kids,’ where the singer will judge alongside
Edurne (with six albums and numerous singles in the market, a Gold Record and Spanish representative in Eurovision 2015) and Carlos Jaen (with 13 albums released, six Latin Grammy nominations and an Ondas Award for Best DJ), she will be the star on the return of one of Telecinco’s most popular shows! The singer, who on February 14 premiered a new song and video clip ‘Enamórate’ (Fall in Love), never seems to stop! Although she is worried that her mother, Dona Ana, is still very ill, the singer draws strength from weakness to continue her professional projects. Isabel will be the guest star of the return of Telecinco’s ‘Volverte a Ver’ (See you again) that returns to the small screen on Friday, February 21 at 10pm. Isabel is the main star of the promos which are already flooding the MediaSet channels.

THE tragic opera La Boheme by Puccini will be performed at the TAF Auditorium in Estepona this Sunday (February 23) by the touring company of the National Opera of Moldova. It is a long tale, lasting 165 minutes, including two breaks and tells the story of four arty types shivering in a cold garret in 1830’s Paris. The story follows the lives and loves of the quartet and their relationship with a pair of girls, one of whom, Mimi suffers from TB and is pushed away by her true love Rodolpho who wants her to find someone who can afford to look after her.
As is perhaps to be expected, there is no happy ending to this story and despite a deathbed reunion, Mimi succumbs to her illness leaving Rodolpho in tears. This much-loved opera will be performed by no less than 90 artists including the orchestra, choir and international soloists of the highest standard. Tickets costing from €30 plus booking fee can be purchased online at www.tafestepona.com and please note that the performance starts at 7pm and no entry will be allowed once the opera has commenced.
THE incredibly popular Film Symphony Orchestra (FSO) undertakes regular tours of Spain with more than 50 dates at a time and will be arriving the Prince of Asturias Auditorium in Torremolinos on April 4.

They have spent a considerable amount of time studying the live shows of their chosen six in order to ensure that not only do they reproduce the music, but their show is also true to the per for mances as well. They don’t dress up as copies of the bands they are portraying, but make sure that their show is accurate and technically perfect. Each concert sees them playing the songs of three bands so they are either playing music of the 90’s from Muse, Coldplay and Placebo or as is the case this Saturday (February 21) from the 80’s with U2, The Cure and Depeche Mode.

PASSION OF CHRIST: Pascual González and Cantores de Híspalis.
Celebrating the Passion ORIGINALLY formed in Sevilla in 1976, the Cantores de Híspalis were a protest group of singers who were accompanied by a hard rock band. Over the years, they morphed into their current incarnation renamed Pascual González and Cantores de Híspalis who are not only reinterpreting Sevillanas and Flamenco music, but couple the
music with religious pieces which are particularly inspired by the Passion of Christ and Easter. It is therefore appropriate that they should be performing their two and a quarter hour work Christ, Passion and Hope once again at the Cervantes Theatre in Malaga City on March 23 and 24 in the run up to Easter. An unusual line up,
they will perform using a selection of modern instruments such as sequencers and electric base, coupled with classic percussion, cornets and a quintet of backing singers. Tickets cost from €12 to €36 from the theatre and they will appear on stage at 8pm on Monday March 23 and on March 24 there are two shows at 5pm and 9pm.

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala invents a new style of Wellington dish, the Scallop Wellington!
The Duke of all Wellingtons! Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com WE all love a Wellington because let’s be honest, what is nicer than a delicious piece of meat or fish wrapped in buttery pastry and baked in the oven? I am not 100 per cent certain where the name of the dish Wellington comes from as I had assumed that it came from the first Duke of Wellington (UK’s prime minister in 1828), but some say it was a dish served in the town Wellington in New Zealand for a civic reception in that era. It is one of the most wonderful and most popular dishes to eat, but why is it usually always beef? You could make a wellington using anything...
and so I did… Scallop Wellington! I googled Scallop Wellington to see if any other chefs were doing something similar and there is one entry, but it’s making little puff pastry vol au vents filled with scallops. That’s not the same thing at all and the only other things that come up are scallops from Wellington in New Zealand. So I’m pretty safe to say that this is my dish! From 2004 to 2007 I ran and operated Brocket Hall in Welwyn Garden City, St Albans, near London. Brocket Hall was the home of the eccentric Lord Brocket who some will remember for his time on I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here which was filmed in the jungle in Australia, whilst others may remember him for burying his Ferrari collection in his own estate! Either way Brocket Hall is steeped in fascinating history. I was enchanted by Brocket

Hall and this prestigious mansion and wanted to know more about the history. In the grounds there is a beautiful building called Melbour ne Lodge. It was named after Lord Melbourne who was the UK prime minister in 1835. The Duke of Wellington was a colleague and friend of Lord Melbourne and Brocket Hall was Lord Melbour ne’s designated home. He often entertained the Duke of Wellington at Brocket Hall, so it seemed obvious to me that we should make use of the
Wellington theme at Brocket Hall. That is where I started expanding my enthusiasm for this dish by doing Venison Wellington, Sea Bass Wellington, Pork wellington and so on. At the Little Geranium we are well- known and loved for our tasting menus and our surprise eight-course tasting menu (which I change weekly) currently has a mini Wellington of hand dived scallops as one of the courses. It has been so incredibly popular that I have kept it on the taster menu. Clients have said that it is one of the best things that they have ever eaten and so I have kept it running! You will need to find decent sized fresh scallops for this dish which can be prepared in advance, so it’s great as a starter at a dinner party. You simply take the mini Wellingtons out of the fridge,
brush and glaze the pastry with egg yolk and pop them in a hot oven for about five minutes until the pastry is golden brown. The scallop cooks perfectly in the pastry, moist and slightly undercooked snuggled in its crispy pastry coat. It really is delicious! To save time you can buy good butter puff pastry here in Spain. We serve it with a pea and beetroot puree. Purees are on trend at the moment in Michelin restaurants. We use them a lot as they are great for presenting a dish pulled across a plate and fab for adding flavours because anything pureed usually has a really concentrated flavour. So if you want to impress a loved one this weekend, serve this as a starter and you will be amazed at the enthusiasm that it receives!
Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.
Scallop Wellington RECIPE serves four 8 x fresh hand dived scallops A tablespoon of olive oil 100g of chilled salted butter cut into 1cm pieces 300g mixture of mixed or wild mushrooms, cleaned 2 cloves garlic peeled 1 small onion peeled and chopped 1 tablespoon of thick cream 500g pre-made puff pastry (made with butter) 8 small slices of Serrano ham 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard 2 egg yolks for glazing pastry Maldon salt • Method Roughly chop the mushrooms and fry in a hot pan with a little olive oil, the onion and garlic and some seasoning. Continue to cook on a high heat for about five minutes until all the excess moisture has evaporated. Remove the
mushrooms from the pan, leave to cool and then blend in a food processor until fine and then add the cream to bind it together. This is called a duxelle. Check seasoning before using. Cut the pastry into small saucer size circles and roll out to 2mm thick if it’s not pre- rolled. Lay a sheet of cling film on a work surface and place the circle of pastry on and then place on a slice of Serrano ham. Seal all the scallops in a very hot frying pan with a little olive oil and add the pieces of the butter. The butter will give them colour and start the cooking process. Do not tur n them over and seal for only one minute. Remove from heat and rest. Place the scallop on top of the ham in the centre. Spread a little Dijon mustard evenly and finely on the scallop and then put on a teaspoon of the duxelle on top of the scallop.
Using the cling film, roll the pastry and Serrano ham over the scallop, then roll and tie the cling film under neath to get the pastry a nice round shape. Repeat this step with the other scallops and keep in fridge until needed. Remove the cling film from the scallops and trim the pastry underneath if necessary. Brush the mini Wellingtons all over with the egg yolk. When you are ready to cook the Wellingtons, bake in a hot pre-heated oven on a baking tray lined with a little oil (to stop them sticking) at 225ºC for five minutes until the pastry is golden brown. Rest for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with a little Maldon salt.
Pea Puree 1kg of frozen peas Maldon salt and a squeeze of lemon to finish Method Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and blanch the peas for two minutes. Add the peas to a blender or thermomix along with a little of the cooking water. Blitz the peas, adding more liquid in small tablespoons if needed. Blend for no more than three minutes, until a fairly thick, smooth puree. Taste and season with salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.

CHARITIES ACE CHARITY ‘El Refugio’ in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desper-
ately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call 952 113 467, available from 10.00am until 14.00pm. (93319) SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public at weekends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at any time. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875. Visit our website www.sos-ani mals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way. (93317)

MOTORING NISSAN has come to the rescue of frazzled parents across Europe with a guilt-free solution for those who heavily rely on the magical effects of dream driving to gently lull their children to sleep. The Nissan LEAF Dream Drive, is the world’s first zero-emission lullaby, dreamt up by Nissan engineers in collaboration with Sound Designer and Sleep Coach, Tom Middleton. This sleep album for babies mimics the peaceful sound frequencies of a humming combustion engine trusted to put children to sleep, at no CO2 emission cost. New research finds parents across Europe are frustratingly sleep-deprived. The majority of parents with a child aged two and under, are surviving on less than five hours of sleep a night, with 60 per cent admitting they resort to dream driving their children to sleep and over half doing it at least once a week. When looking at why parents put their faith in this method, Nissan discovered 70 per cent of parents put their trust in the power of the vehicle’s movement, when in fact it is the soothing sound fre-

quencies of an internal combustion engine (ICE) that is the biggest contributor to a child falling asleep. According to expert, Paul Speed-Andrews, Noise and Vibration Development Manager at Nissan, “An EV like the Nissan LEAF is a better choice for dream driving; although we are aware that the quiet soundscape might not be as effective as ICE cars. Combustion engines transmit a sound frequency, a combination of white, pink and brown noise varied in tone creating an orchestral soundscape that is especially soothing and comforting to children.” Nissan has collaborated with renowned Sound Designer and Sleep Coach, Tom Middleton, to create Nissan LEAF Dream Drive the first zero-emission lullaby, the kryptonite album for angry babies, contains five, three-minute tracks that work in harmony with the advanced in-car technology available within the all-electric LEAF. Parents can connect their smartphone to their Nissan LEAF through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, available on platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube and Deezer.
Luxury tourer
HISPANO SUIZA, the Spanish performance-inspired luxury brand, will return to the Geneva Motor Show in March with the Carmen Boulogne, a version of its fully-electric Carmen hyperlux grand tourer that pays homage to the brand’s heritage. A product of the brand’s ‘Tailormade’ department, the Boulogne features design enhancements that reference Hispano Suiza’s racing vehicles from the 1920s, while retaining the Carmen’s exhilarating performance and luxury. The Boulogne moniker dates back to 1921 and the George Boillot Cup, in
which Hispano Suiza competed with five enhanced versions of the company’s H6 Coupé. The endurance race saw competitors battle for victory for more than 3.5 hours, on the roads around Boulogne, France. Hispano Suiza achieved three consecutive race wins, with drivers André Dubonnet (1921), Paul Bablot (1922) and Léonce Garnier (1923) driving specially modified versions of the Hispano Suiza H6. Development and build of the infinitely-customisable Boulogne version of the Carmen will be led by the company’s production partner, QEV Technologies. Also based in Barcelona, QEV boasts a team of highly-skilled engineers with experience across design, engineering, R&D and production. Further details of the modifications made to the Carmen to create the Boulogne will be announced in early March at the Geneva International Motor Show.

A busy month for the club I
T’S been another busy month for the Classic Car Club of Andalucia and its members. Finishing the end of last month with a visit to the Malaga Retro show at the Palacio de Ferias which ran for three days from Friday to Sunday was a most enjoyable experience. Certainly from a social standpoint it was a good opportunity to meet up with friends and fellow classic car enthusiasts even if the show itself wasn’t terribly impressive. For those people in the UK this weekend, then a trip to Race Retro is a must! Located at Stoneleigh in Warwickshire, this is a fabulous show that runs for three days over this coming weekend. It is probably the very best show of its kind in the world and has a hotel on site which itself usually produces some fun nights! The show itself is huge and one would need a couple of days to get around it. Also on site they have two rally special stages laid out that are usually packed with serious rally kit performing for the visitors. There is even one stage where, for a small donation, spectators can ride in the passenger seat and experience a real special stage from the hot seat. Anyone who is going to do this should seek out Somerset rally driver Dave Harris whose blue and white Group 4 Escort Mk.2 is always fast and spectacular. And safe! Silverstone Auctions also have a regular auction of classic cars on site and that is well worth a visit. Take your cheque book…! CCCA members had a super club night and dinner at Treetops
restaurant in El Chaparral at the beginning of the month, superb food as is produced every month. A well supported evening with many old faces returning and quite a few new members coming along for the first time. The following Saturday saw the Club’s classic car run and lunch, ably organised by members Trevor Naylor, Martin Hall and Gweneth Howe. The day started with a breakfast at Venta Platero near Coin. Amusingly, no-one had told the organisers that, not only would there be 40 classic cars and their crews enjoying their ‘desayuno’ but so too would be 150 motor cycles doing the same thing! To say the start procedure was ‘hectic’ is something of an understatement! Still, the Venta Platero staff worked very hard and managed to serve everyone whilst the CCCA ladies, Carol Giles, Marilyn MacPherson and Angela Sharp, did a grand job of getting everyone registered at the same time. Just after a briefing from Club Presidente, Ian Giles, at 11.00am cars started to depart to follow their ‘Tulip’ roadbooks with the route taking them towards Zalea and then on to Casarabonela and up over Puerto Martinez where the Sierras de Prieta meet the Sierra de Alcaparain and then on along a beautiful road into El Burgo. From here the route turned north to cross the Sierras de Ortegicar, passing Serrato, then heading north again to a well

Sadly that couldn’t be arranged at such short notice, but the Club will try to oblige the next time it passes that way. After coffee the route headed towards Teba and then on to cross the Dam and the lakes of El Chorro. Some fun and games were experienced here as the road chosen was closed for a short time although of course, it had been clear when the route was checked a week or so earlier. Such is the nature of these events that no-one had any problem with an impromptu re-route and all cars made it to the finish at the fabulous Venta Antiguo de San Antonio near Ardales. A superb lunch had been arranged and some 80 people from the CCCA thoroughly enjoyed it. The sun had shone all day and it was great to see so many cars with roofs down enjoying it all. The Costa del Sol chapter of the JEC (Jaguar Enthusiasts Club) have a one-day car tour this Saturday starting from El Trapiche which is on the A-402 just above Velez-Malaga. Always a first-class day out with a great lunch to finish, this one at

SPORT
Villa Late Error Costs Them Point ASTON VILLA were made to rue a late error as Tottenham won a barnstorming Premier League clash at Villa Park. Son Heung-min pounced on Bjorn Engels’ error to score a lastgasp winner as Tottenham won an enthralling Premier League contest 3-2 at Aston Villa. Engels’ equaliser appeared to have earned the relegationthreatened hosts a point at Villa Park, but his failure to control a long ball allowed Son to coolly steer past Pepe Reina. Son had earlier put Spurs 2-1 in front from the rebound of a penalty awarded as a result of an Engels foul shortly before half-time, the forward’s first in the game coming after teammate Toby Alderweireld had scored at both ends. Villa remain just a point above the bottom three, while Champions League-chasing Spurs are just one point adrift of fourth-place Chelsea.
Spurs went behind in sloppy fashion after nine minutes when Alderweireld turned in Anwar El Ghazi’s deflected right-wing cross having failed to communicate with his goalkeeper, Hugo Lloris. Jack Grealish tormented Spurs down the left channel and had a couple of testers before teeing up Douglas Luiz who, despite a great block from Ben Davies, ought to have scored. It proved costly when Alderweireld lashed home on the spin from a tight angle after Villa had failed to clear a Spurs corner, though Dele Alli then missed two great chances to put the visitors ahead. However, Spurs did go in front in added time in the first half when Son registered his 50th Premier League goal, poking in the rebound from his saved penalty which was awarded when VAR judged Engels had felled Steven Bergwijn.
Engels made amends when he climbed above Alderweireld to head home Grealish’s corner seven minutes after the restart, and the excellent Reina kept Villa on level terms with some crucial stops. Son, though, had the final say deep into injury time, the South Korea international racing free before providing a clinical finish to punish Engels’ mistake.
SPURS: Won the Premier League clash at Villa Park.
Man Utd Triumph Over Chelsea ANTHONY MARTIAL and Harry Maguire scored either side of half-time as Manchester United claimed a 2-0 triumph over Chelsea on Monday. Manchester United closed ground on the Champions League places as Anthony Martial and Harry Maguire struck to claim a vital 2-0 win over Chelsea, who were twice denied by VAR. Despite heading into Monday’s meeting at Stamford Bridge having taken just four points in 2020, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side moved to within a win of their opponents as they completed a Premier League double over Chelsea for the first time. Martial continued his excellent form against Chelsea to get United off the mark, with the Blues denied an equaliser through Kurt Zouma by the video review system. United made their luck count in the 66th minute with captain Maguire - who was perhaps fortunate to be on the pitch after an earlier
clash with Michy Batshuayi heading in Bruno Fernandes’ corner and United held firm to secure valuable points after Olivier Giroud also saw a goal disallowed. Chelsea were inches away from taking a sixth-minute lead when Reece James lashed wide, but Frank Lampard’s side were dealt a blow when N’Golo Kante was forced off through injury in the 12th minute. Maguire was lucky to go unpunished for kicking out at Batshuayi, who subsequently squandered a brilliant chance after terrific work from Mason Mount. Yet for all Chelsea’s threat, it was United who had the lead when Martial headed in Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s excellent cross.
Chelsea thought they had equalised when Kurt Zouma tucked home from a corner, only for VAR to disallow the goal for Cesar Azpilicueta’s push on Brandon Williams. And, after Fernandes had struck the woodwork with a superb free-kick, Chelsea’s frustrations were compounded as Maguire headed beyond Willy Caballero. Giroud’s header seemed to have set up a grandstand finish, but VAR again came to United’s rescue. Mount then hit the post as the Blues’ efforts proved fruitless, with Caballero preventing substitute Odion Ighalo netting a debut goal in stoppage time.
MAN UTD: Scored either side of half-time to triumph over Chelsea.
SPORT Liverpool lose In Spain CHAMPIONS Liverpool have to come from behind in their Champions League last-16 tie against Atletico Madrid after a 1-0 first-leg defeat in the Spanish capital on Tuesday, which produced only their third defeat of the season. Atletico Madrid are strug-

Atletico got an early winner on the fourth minute as Saul Niguez put one in the back of the net from close range as the ball dropped to him after sloppy Liverpool defending on a corner.

LIVERPOOL: Denied win. and defended well allowing Liverpool to dominate the ball play but denying them a breakthrough. The reigning champions finished the game with a statistic of no shots to goal on target despite Mohamed Salah going close twice, and Jordan Henderson steering just wide in the second half. It certainly sets up a sec-
ond leg at the famous Anfield ground where Liverpool will surely go on the attack in their flamboyant style of attacking football whilst Atletico will defend their first round advantage and try to catch Liverpool on the break. With a full Kop behind them, it will certainly make an entertaining match for the neutral fan.
WALKING FOOTBALL LEAGUE SEEK RECOGNITION
THE four clubs in the the B l u e S k y M a r b e l l a Wa l k i n g Football League founded in N o v e m b e r o f l a s t y e a r, a n d the first walking football league in southern Spain, h a v e a g re e d t o c o n t a c t t h e Health Minister and Sports Minister at the Junta de Andalucia to bring to their attention the health and social benefits of Walking Football and to have it accepted as a sport. An application by Walking Football Spain two years ago to become affiliated to the Andaluz Football Federation was rejected on the grounds that the AFF do not recognise Walking Football as ‘normal’ football nor a sport. Various documents from official bodies in the UK are being requested to back up the League’s case. Advice is also being sought from ex professional footballers and oth-
ers involved in playing and organising of sport in the UK and other European countries. Recognition by the Junta is important in assisting the League and its clubs in improved communication with local authorities as well as affiliation to the AFF which would bring other benefits including funding through grants. This is likely to be a long process but the League are determined to gain recognition to an activity which is attracting new members at an average of 10 members a month. The next League fixture sees a top of the table clash between the two unbeaten teams, current leaders WFS ‘A’ and deposed leaders undefeated Aston Viñuela. This is sure to be an intriguing match which takes place at the Campo Viñuela next Sunday, February 23, kick off 2pm. Can the ‘New Boys on the Block’
see off the challenge of the WFS ‘A’ fast flowing game? Watch this space!!!! This will be followed by Viñuela’s Reserve team playing a Challenge match against a WFS Over 65’s team. The following Wednesday (February 26) sees WFS ‘B’ come face to face with the Walking Dead again. Probable venue will be Benahavis. (Time to be announced). A reminder that sessions are available at Benalmadena (Monday 1011am), Benahavis (Tuesday 7.30-9pm) and Finca Naundrup, Calahonda (Monday, Wednesday 6pm to 7pm and Thursday 10-11am).

ARSENAL were not wholly convincing for long periods at home to Newcastle United, but four second-half goals clinched all three points. Alexandre Lacazette scored for the first time since December to put the gloss on a muchneeded 4-0 win for Arsenal and head coach Mikel Arteta against Newcastle United on Sunday. Arsenal came into the clash at Emirates Stadium level on points with visitors Newcastle, having won just six times in the Premier League this season - and only once since Arteta’s December appointment. But after a frustrating opening period, the influential Nicolas Pepe laid on a goal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the 54th minute, and Pepe himself scored three minutes later to all but settle the contest. Mesut Ozil added another in the 90th minute, before substitute Lacazette got in on the act in stoppage time. Arteta, who revealed before the match he turned down an approach from Newcastle while still an assistant at Manchester City, could enjoy the closing stages of a precious victory, with Arsenal climbing back up to 10th and within sight of the European places. Newcastle’s set-pieces had caused early problems for Arsenal, and
Sean Longstaff’s deflected strike forced a scrambling save from Bernd Leno, before Joelinton awkwardly stabbed wide from six yards moments later. Martin Dubravka was not troubled for over half an hour, but Arsenal pressure built heading into half-time as the Newcastle goalkeeper made stops from Aubameyang, Eddie Nketiah and Pepe. The hosts were on the front foot again following the restart, and Pepe danced to the byline before cutting a cross back for Nketiah, who volleyed against the crossbar. The opener soon followed, with Aubameyang towering over Valentino Lazaro to head Pepe’s right-wing delivery across Dubravka into the bottom-right corner. The second came less than three minutes later, as Bukayo Saka nutmegged Lazaro on the left and squared for Pepe to sweep low inside the near post. Ciaran Clark skewed wide from a great position in the area when teed up by Allan SaintMaximin, who himself hit the post with a fine curling effort, but there was no dramatic Newcastle recovery. Ozil's close-range finish deceived Dubravka for a scruffy third Arsenal goal, before Lacazette's own slightly untidy effort found the top-right corner to spark a joyous celebration.
