NOT THE END...
JUST as it is about to begin, the unfortunate news that the 23rd edition of the Festival de Cine Malaga has been postponed due to the coronavirus crisis. The official confirmation has been given by the Malaga Town Hall, through its Twitter account. According to the published message, the celebration of the event, which was to begin tomorrow, Friday March 13, has been postponed ‘due to the uncertainty generated by the evolution of the coronavirus.’ ‘Although the health authorities do not expressly prevent it, its recommendation not to travel makes it difficult for the appointment to take place,’ read the tweet. This same morning, Mayor Francisco de la Torre, confirmed the event was waiting for a decision from central government. “We are waiting, once we know what the government says, we will let you know,” he explained. Confirmation of the postponement has been made, precisely, minutes after the conclusion of the press conference in which

the Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, announced the decisions taken in the Interterritorial Council of the National Health Service of Spain held this morning. In addition to halting all flights between Spain and Italy the head of the Health Service had confirmed that cultural, social or other events which involved large crowds, such as the Festival de Cine, would be assessed on a case-bycase basis and would be
subject to approval from the local government bodies of the areas in which they are held. The ‘Sabor a Málaga’ brand, had organised a gastronomic route in con-
junction with the Festival de Cine which was to include the participation of 36 restaurants, named ‘Cómete el festival,’ this has also been postponed until further notice.

La Luna Beach talk
IMPORTANT MESSAGES: Looking for a fair and equal society.
Small numbers, big voice NUMBERS dropped in those attending the annual International Women’s Day march last Sunday in Malaga. In 2019 there were 50,000 people, however, possibly due to current health worries, only 15,000 joined the march this year. However, the important message was still delivered with the same energy and motivation. Under the central slogan, ‘Mujeres en acción, feminismo, lucha y transformación,’ women, along with a small number of men and children, called for equality and an end to violence against women. The symbolic colour for the
special day was purple and was evident in the t-shirts and scarves of the marchers, as well as the banners and placards they carried from the city’s Alameda de Colón up to the Plaza de la Constitución. Organisers called for “a fair and equal society” in the manifesto read at the end of the march which also pushed for a society free of oppression, exploitation and violence and the use of effective measures to prevent attacks on women. Points were also raised condemning the lack of stable working conditions and cases of dismissal due to pregnancy.
On La Luna Beach. SOME 50 people including members of the La Cala de Mijas Lions recently gathered at La Luna Beach for an environmental workshop and walk along the boardwalk. The event was organised by Mijas Council and Councillor Arancha Lopez welcomed two marine biologists from CREMA who would be taking the workshop and pointing out environmental issues along the walk. CREMA (Centro de Recuperación de Especies Marinas Amenazades) is located in Malaga Port and has its own fully equipped hospital specialising in the recovery of turtles
and marine mammals. The hospital has an operating room, nursing tanks, necropsy room and facilities for the storage of biological samples. It also has a pool and floating cages for dolphins. Along with the hospital it has a mobile unit fully equipped with sanitary equipment and prepared for the rapid assistance of mammals and sea turtles. The workshop on the beach consisted of a talk given about the marine life in the area and a very informative demonstration of how to deal with a beached dolphin, illustrated using a very lifelike mod-
el of a dolphin. They made it clear that if you find a dolphin stranded on the beach, do not attempt to get it back in the water. Simply phone 112 for assistance and they will contact CREMA. In the meantime, simply keep the dolphin wet and if possible, dig out the sand round its flippers so that the dolphin puts no weight on them. Following the workshop those present walked along the boardwalk up to the tower at Donna Lola and en route, received information about the plant and animal life along that stretch of the coast.

FINANCE MALAGA HOTELS: Have noticed a severe decline in bookings.
46-49 LEAPY
CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) fears on Spain’s Costa del Sol are not just resulting in cancelled corporate and trade events, but it’s also affecting tourism. Recently, Google cancelled an event in Malaga, as was the recent Berlin international travel fair (ITB de Berlin). Luis Callejón, President of the Hotel Association on the Costa del Sol (Asociación de Empresarios Hoteleros de la Costa del Sol), confirms that Malaga’s hotels have noticed a severe decline in bookings mainly because of
COVID-19 concerns. Hoteliers on the Costa estimate the cost of lost bookings already to be in excess of a million euros. Holidays have been cancelled by customers mainly from Italy, the UK, Germany and France, confirms Callejón. He attributes this to the panic generated by Coronavirus fears, which is putting people off from travelling. The declining number of flights aren’t helping either, he notes. “Reduced flights from Germany to the Costa del Sol is having a huge impact too. The German
market is a priority market for Spain, given its high tourism spend,” points out Callejón, who is currently on a business trip in Germany. “We must pay attention to them, so we can better meet their needs and they, in turn, will prioritise Spain as a holiday destination,” he explains. Nevertheless, Callejón is hoping that things will turn around for Easter (Semana Santa). “We still have a month to prepare, and I hope things will improve, with bookings and hotels operating at full capacity again,” he adds.

THE 16th edition of Pequemarathon has brought together a total of 2,672 students from 28 educational centres throughout Marbella. This activity of the Juegos Deportivos Escolares began on March 9 at the Estadio Municipal de Marbella Antonio Lorenzo Cuevas and will end on March 13 at the Polideportivo Guadaiza de Nueva Andalucia. The objectives of Pequemarathon are the promotion of the work of the basic motor skills of the first and second-year primary school students (aged between seven and eight years) and the development of values such as discipline and cooperation through work in groups, with a playful approach that makes the activity more motivating. In addition, it offers the promotion of healthy lifestyle habits.
NATIONAL POLICE officers took part in the rescue of a 47-year-old woman in Torremolinos last week who was trying to end her life by throwing herself from a balcony at a height. Several calls came in reporting that a woman was trying to throw herself from a house prompting police to rush to the scene. When they arrived the woman was up with her feet on the terrace railing, holding on with difficulty due to the strong gusts of wind. One of the officers was able to gain the trust of the woman and after chatting for 30 minutes, managed to distract her attention, enabling a firefighter to sneak up on the victim and grab hold of her arm pulling her in as she was about to jump. The victim was then taken in good health to the hospital to be assessed.

The director of Poetopía, Ángel Arenas, explained the company has already created 77 giant poems. “As a resident of Benalmadena, I am glad in my town projects are

Quality of life FUENGIROLA leads the population growth of Andalucia “thanks to the quality of life achieved in the area,” stated Mayor Ana Mula, who also said that, with a census of 4,913 new inhabitants in just one year, the town has welcomed more new residents than six entire provinces in the community. Among the determining factors for this, as indicated by the mayor
herself, “are the wellbeing enjoyed by residents, with a clean, safe town, quality municipal services, attractive leisure and cultural offer, and a remarkable economic development making Fuengirola, today, the town desired by all.” “On February 28 I told you that Fuengirola is one of the most important and future towns in Andalucia. It was not an opinion or a perception
of mine, it is a fact. The data shows Fuengirola is the municipality that has grown the most in the entire province according to the latest revision of the register,” said the mayor. This increase is due to “people who come to our city to establish their life, second residence or a place to enjoy their retirement. And the quality of life of Fuengirola is a decisive factor for his choice.”

NATIONAL POLICE officers have intervened in the dismantling of a Dutch currency financial scam with ramifications in Spain, specifically in Marbella, Benalmadena and Madrid. Officers are investigating a financial group that allegedly cheated citizens of the Netherlands whilst operating in Spain. Three people have been detained in Madrid and two in Marbella who were part of the network and were among the main culprits. At the same time this happened in Spain, the Dutch police services carried out similar procedures in the Netherlands, performing six house searches leading to the arrest of three more people in that country. The police investigation began in 2013 in the Netherlands, in relation to several complaints against various currency traders who said they were located in London and Hungary. These entities employed workers who made use of customer lists,

UK GOVERNMENT ALLOCATES £3 MILLION TO SUPPORT UK NATIONALS IN THE EU • CHARITIES and organisations that support UK nationals living in the EU have been awarded a share of the funding • The £3 million fund will assist UK nationals to apply to protect their residency rights • Residents in Spain, France, Germany, Cyprus, Italy, and several other EU countries will benefit Charities and organisations will receive government funding to provide practical support for UK nationals living in the EU with their residency applications. This includes potentially atrisk groups such as pensioners and disabled people. The organisations will each receive government funding to support those who may find it harder to complete all the paperwork required for residency applications. This includes pensioners, disabled people, those living in remote areas or who have mobility difficulties, and those who require help with language translation or interpretation. One of the beneficiaries of the fund
is Age in Spain - a charity that helps older British expatriates. They will be working across Cataluña and the Balearic Islands, while Asociación Babelia will be providing support in Alicante.
Now that the UK has left the EU, some UK nationals living in certain EU member states will need to take actions to secure their residency rights, so that they can continue to live and work in their host country as now.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said: “These organisations are doing vital work to support UK Nationals in the EU and this funding will help secure their rights under the Withdrawal Agreement, so that they are given the security and stability they need.”
Over one million UK nationals live in EU and EFTA countries; more than 350,000 of them here in Spain. Charities and organisations based in Spain, who are receiving funding from the ‘UK Nationals Support Fund’ include: • Age in Spain • Asociación Babelia • International Organisation for Migration
British Ambassador to Spain Hugh Elliott said: “This fund will be a valuable complement to the extensive work that our consulates have been doing over the past three years to prepare UK nationals for our departure from the EU. The chosen organisations will be able to provide one-to-one, specialist support to those citizens that need it most; helping them to register as a resident and secure their rights under the Withdrawal Agreement.”
This extra assistance will build on the information and support that British Embassies are already providing.
Under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement, UK nationals living in the EU at the end of the transition period can continue to live and work in their host country. Anyone who is legally residing in Spain by December 31, 2020 will be covered by the Withdrawal Agreement. As part of the ongoing information campaign, the government is encouraging all UK nationals in the EU to visit the Living in Guide on gov.uk for the country they live in and sign up for tailored alerts to receive the latest information about what actions they may need to take. Further details on how to contact implementing organisations will be available soon; UK nationals in Spain should subscribe to gov.uk/livingin spain for updates.

Finders keepers THE motto ‘Honesty is the best policy’ best describes the situation facing a lucky Benalmadena resident who is set to receive more than €500 from the town hall for her patience. In August 2016, she found a bum bag in the street containing €380 and £140 which she immediately handed in to the police. It is the protocol of the Penal Code, that If the owner does not claim the loss within a maximum period of two years, the law offers the property to the person who returned it. Therefore, the woman, who knew this article of the Criminal Code, went to claim the money two years after handing them over. When the necessary administrative procedure was initiated, however, the Local Police issued a report alleging that both the bum bag and the money had disappeared from the police offices, without being able to give ‘a certain explanation about its destination or possible return.’ The town hall insists that the woman is well within her rights and should still be paid the money she found regardless of the more worrying problem of its whereabouts. The hayor, Víctor Navas, explained that details of anybody trying ‘to debug responsibilities’ will be investigated.

BREXIT BRIEF
CURRENTLY Britain benefits considerably from membership of the EU Erasmus+ exchange group which sees students from the UK spend time in European universities and vice versa and it seems that there are no concrete plans in the Brexit negotiations to extend membership after withdrawal. Currently it costs Britain around £200 (€230) million annually to belong to the scheme, but it is estimated that EU students who come to the UK spend £430 (€495) million on living expenses alone. Some 85 per cent of all British colleges and universities are currently ALWAYS ready to re-invent himself, now that the Brexit Party has become something of a successful ‘one trick pony,’ it appears that Nigel Farage will be moving on to create the Reform Party.

Although the Conservative government has said that it wants to create a more even ‘playing field’ between the north and the south, this seems to be contradictory as those most likely to suffer could be young students from the north. The government has indicated it “will consider options for participation in elements of Erasmus+ on a time-limited basis, provided the terms are in the UK’s interests.” Not only is there a potential loss of European students enrolling in UK places of education, many universities depend upon EU funding for research which can take years to complete and this, which comes through the EU Horizon programme, is also under threat, which would have a knock on effect on UK government national research targets.

Specsavers Launches Campaign For Guide Dogs Foundation ‘Vision loss can be incredibly isolating, leading to feelings of loneliness and depression. However, thanks to the foundation and the work they do, people can gain a new sense of independence and confidence. ‘It’s equally important that people take a proactive approach to their eye health. Regular eye tests and early detection, followed by timely intervention and management of eye health conditions, could help save your sight.’ Funds will be raised across the nine Specsavers Ópticas stores in Spain throughout 2020 in many different ways. The stores will also be sharing
information with their customers about FOPG and the support they offer blind people in Spain, by providing more than 130 guide dogs to those in need each year. For her part, the Managing Director of FOPG, Maria Jesús Varela, highlighted the importance of this collaboration with Specsavers Ópticas, an international company committed to eye health, which is showing its support to those people who require the help of a guide dog to improve their mobility, by launch-
ing this fundraising campaign. She says it is an excellent example of corporate social responsibility in action and shows the way for many other companies who want to support their communities and those less fortunate than themselves. For FOPG, the agreement is not only important in terms of fundraising to support their important work, but also the chance to shine a light on the service they are offering, the role of guide dogs and the importance of offering the same rights of access for all people in society. About FOPG Fundación ONCE del Perro Guía (FOPG) is a
welfare foundation created by ONCE in 1990 with the purpose of breeding and training guide dogs for people with severe blindness or visual impairment. It provides its services to people with visual disabilities throughout Spain, by virtue of the collaboration with ONCE itself, which offers the guide dog as a free social service for people affiliated with that organisation who request it and are eligible. The FOPG is a permanent member of the International Guide Dog Federation (IGDF), the European Guide Dog Federation (EGDF) and the European Breeding Network, a working group specialised in breeding and genetic improvement of guide dogs in Europe and the USA. The foundation breeds its own dogs and takes re-
sponsibility for the entire process of training the guide dog and pairing it with the most suitable applicant. They also train the new owner how to make best use of this mobility aid and supports both the owner and the dog throughout its life as a guide dog. The work of this foundation is essential to increase the autonomy of blind people or those with a serious visual disability. Changing from walking with a cane to doing it with a guide dog represents a huge improvement in their mobility, speed and security of their movements and allows them to integrate with society in a much more meaningful way. Find out more about FOPG www.perrosguias. once.es. This is not the first time that Specsavers Ópticas has supported ONCE. In 2017, the stores raised thousands in aid of the ONCE Foundation for the Care of Persons with Deafblindness (FOAPS). Find out more about Specsavers Ópticas www.specsavers.es.

SPECSAVERS Ópticas has launched a national fundraising campaign in aid of ONCE Foundation for Guide Dogs (FOPG), to help support vulnerable people with severe vision loss. Naming ONCE as its official charity, the opticians has pledged to raise more than €5,000 over the next year, to support the important work of the FOPG and the services it provides. The foundation runs the only centre which breeds and trains guide dogs for blind people, or those with serious vision loss, to help them gain better mobility and more independence. Jorge Martínez de Lizarduy Araico, of Specsavers Opticas, says: ‘As an opticians, we’re passionate about improving the lives of people with sight loss, so we’ll be doing all we can throughout the year to raise funds for the foundation.

LAUNCH PARTY: For an exhibition that brings together works of four local artists. dación CLC World with the artists donating 10 per cent of their sale proceeds to the foundation. Salvador Madueño is a sculptor who works with wood, metal and stone to create pieces that generally reflect animals in their
natural environment. He enjoys walking in the mountains of Mijas for inspiration and to gather his materials. “My pieces are part of nature - I intend to give life to still life. I like to mix, to combine the different elements of wood, metal, stone and copper, all of which are recycled.” The figurative paintings of Michèle Lehmann nearly always show the subject from behind, and while conveying emotion, they allow the viewer to build their own story - “a painting should not need an explanation," she says. María Escalona uses different framing techniques so the viewer feels they are looking through a window, or for those framed in circles, through binoculars. Clouds invite you to immerse yourself in the subtle atmosphere of the heavens, while her studies of fog create a dense emotion that evokes silence. The six works in this
exhibition are oil on canvas and board, representing the study of clouds in the south of Spain. Using the collage technique, Eduardo Query decontextualises the materials he uses and investigates simple and direct ways to channel their plasticity. Eduardo shows utopian places that seek harmony in the natural environment - relaxing landscapes that have fled the globalisation of the world. CLC World’s Director of Human Resources, Juan Miguel Marcos is pleased with the reception the initiative has received. “It’s an enriching experience for our employees, who can experience the art in their work environment.” The exhibition, in collaboration with Mijas Council, is open every day until March 22 from 10am to 5pm at Sunset Lounge, San Diego Suites, Club La Costa World.

On the first day, the group of friends travelled by coach from the Costa del Sol through the beautiful countryside to the city of Caseres. In Caseres, which was founded by the ancient Romans, the group first visited the Gothic, 15th century Santa Maria Cathedral with its unusual carved cedar altar, followed by the tourist office with its walled patio garden. The second morning the group continued to the mountain village of Guadalupe, in the region of Las Villueres, a World Heritage Site famous for the Royal Monastery of Our Lady Santa Maria of
Guadalupe. They then drove to the town of Trujillo to take in the spectacular Moorish palace, built in 1232 to defend the town against the Spanish. The third day saw a visit to Merida to see the beautifully preserved Roman theatre, where they still hold concerts during the summer. This was followed by a trip to the Lázaro aqueduct and Ro-

CRAFTY CRIMINALS: Deactivated the security functions.

The events took place shortly before 12.45am on April 16 of last year, in a games room located near the Guadalhorce industrial estate. Apparently, one of them acted as a lookout so nobody would notice them, while the other went directly to the roulette table. The prosecutor explains how the culprit acted, he lifted the dome and, with a screwdriver,
deactivated the security functions, and then placed the ball in the desired place without sounding the alarm. Therefore, in just half an hour they managed to get €9,222.20, as stated in the prosecution’s brief. After making this account of the facts, the representative of the Ministerio Público considers that the defendants are responsible for an alleged crime of fraud. For this reason, he asks that they be sentenced to two years in jail each and that they repay the money.

What to do in the event of an emergency 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 there are in effect two groups which most people would understand as being ‘the police.’ The National Police (Policía Nacional) who have jurisdiction in the towns and cities and the Guardia Civil outside the towns and cities. The Local Police are employed by town halls; they basically deal with property found, and enforce local laws. Whilst they have a power of arrest, when exercised they must take the arrested person to the National Police or Guardia Civil according to where the crime took place. National Police and the Guardia Civil deal with all crimes, missing persons etc in their jurisdiction. The National Police also deal with all applications for immigration paperwork, NIEs, EU Citizens Registration and for non EU nationals, Residencia, etc. Throughput Europe the general number for all emergencies is 112. In Spain the operators speak English, French, German and Italian, in addition to Spanish and will liaise with the emergency services when the caller does not speak Spanish. No area code is needed and the number can be called from any phone, including mobiles even those without a Spanish SIM
card or any credit. You can also fax or SMS 112. The 24 hours national emergency numbers for Spanish speakers are: 091 police, 061 - health emergencies 080 firefighters. By calling 902 102 112, but only when the perpetrator is unknown, one can give details of certain crimes, including:- burglaries, car theft, theft or loss of documents or belongings. The service is available in English from 9am to 9pm seven days a week, and from 9am to 3pm in French, German and Italian. Having given details of the crime, you must go to the National Police station which you nominate, within 48 hours to make the report using the information supplied on the telephone. In the case of robbery, where threat or force has been used, victims should call 112 at the time for police attendance, or go directly to the police station which covers that area to make a report. Other useful number are:016, specifically to report instances of gender violence. For problems at sea, the Maritime Rescue Service (Salvamento Seguridad Maritmo) can be contacted by calling 900 202 202, and the Red Cross (Cruz Rojo) on 902 222 292. There is also a Red Cross 24-hour helpline 900 100 333.

The issue of the tender for the Malapesquera project has suffered delays going back to January 2019, mainly due to the lack of funding in the General State Budgets and the delay is a “consequence of the political instability that has affected the government of Spain until January 2020,” said Navas. Other issues discussed at the meeting have been the demolition of the Marymar Residence, which is still waiting for the appropriate reports from the Junta de Andalucia and the cost of bringing in more sand which will be necessary until the installation of the breakwaters.

FRIENDLY COMPETITION: Obstacle course combining athletics, skill and Crossfit.
Family fun FUENGIROLA is set to hold a national obstacle course combining athletics with skill and Crossfit tests named the ‘Basilisk Wild Race’ which will take place on May 23 and 24. Councillor for Sports, María Hernández, announced that “it will take place in Parque Fluvial and the organisation has planned different categories with the aim of allowing people of all ages to participate, individually or by teams and thus turn the sessions into competition with family and friends.” Hernández has invited “All sports enthusiasts to sign up for this new competition, which is held for the first time in an urban environment. No matter your physical condition, the important thing is to have a good day and learn new methods of training and getting fit.”
Juan Manuel Blanco, organiser of the Basilisk Wild Race, pointed out that “The competition consists of a circuit with different obstacles and a variable route according to the category.” To allow everyone to take part, two separate sessions are planned: the first will be dedicated to the categories ‘Pro’ and ‘Challenge,’ composed of circuits of seven kilometres plus 30 obstacles and five kilometres with more than 25 tests respectively. The main difference between them, in addition to the hardness of the tests, is that the Challenge category can be entered by teams. The children and families day will be held on May 24, when the ‘Family’ test of two kilometres and 14 obstacles will be held, in addition to the ‘junior,’ aimed at first competitors aged eight to 15 years.
Classic inspiration JOSÉ MARÍA CÓRDOBA will exhibit his new project ‘Odiseo’ in the Museo de la Ciudad, Fuengirola, a collection consisting of 40 medium and large-scale works, which can be visited free of charge from March 20 to May 7. This was announced on Monday at a press conference between the councillor for Culture, Rodrigo Romero, and the artist himself, who explained that the source of inspiration for this exhibition are two classics of universal literature, Homer’s ‘Odyssey’ and the ‘Ulysses’ by James Joyce, but not as an illustra-
tion of the texts but as a parallel work. “In the Museum we try not to miss exhibitions of large artists and we are lucky in Fuengirola to have some of them, I remember recently we had an exhibition from Escalona, and another of the great artists we have is, without a doubt, José María Córdoba,” Romero explained, highlighting that “He is a professor at the engraving workshop of the Casa de la Cultura and is one of our most internationally recognised artists, so it is an honour to have him and offer him a great exhibition within the main exhibition centre.”

has just been revealed that only one in 10 of those aged between 16 and 18 have taken advantage to register to vote on the matter. There are approximately 1,000 new voters eligi-
ble to take part, but just 100 have decided to exercise their right and with registration having closed at 6pm on Wednesday March 11 it is unlikely that this figure increased to any great extent.

ANDALUCIA MASTERS RYDER CUP heroes Thomas Bjørn and Lee Westwood will return to the venue where they made their debuts in the biennial contest between Europe and the US, confirming they will tee it up in the Estrella Damm NA Andalucia Masters hosted by the Sergio Garcia Foundation from April 30 - May 3. The pair made their Ryder Cup bows at Real Club Valderrama in 1997, when Europe, captained by the late, great Seve Ballesteros, retained the coveted trophy with a 14½ - 13½ victory. They contributed 3.5 points to the European cause, as Westwood earned two points alongside Nick Faldo in foursomes and four-ball matches, and Bjørn earned a half in the Sunday singles against Justin Leonard, adding to the point won with Ian Woosnam against Leonard and Brad Faxon. Westwood is bidding for a European record-equalling 11th Ryder Cup appearance at Whistling Straits later this year. The 46-year-old is just outside the qualification spots for Padraig Harrington’s side, but is currently second on the Race to Dubai Rankings presented by Rolex after his victory at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship presented by EGA in January. “There isn’t much you can say about Valderrama that hasn’t already been said,” said Westwood. “It’s a fantastic golf
course, and 1997 was special because I made my Ryder Cup debut there and won the Volvo Masters a few weeks later. “It is an incredible test of golf, and it’s testament to Robert Trent Jones’ design that it has remained unchanged over the last 30 years.” His close friend Bjørn is also looking forward to returning to the venue where his Ryder Cup journey began, culminating in his victorious captaincy two years ago at Le Golf National, Paris. “Valderrama is an excellent golf course, and a test which we all enjoy returning to,” said the 15-time European Tour winner, who celebrated his 49th birthday earlier this month. “To make my Ryder Cup debut in a side captained by Seve, in his home country, and at a world-class venue, was incredibly special.” The pair will join a host of other European Tour stars at Real Club Valderrama as the Estrella Damm NA Andalucía Masters returns to the famed venue in April. Tickets are available now, starting from €7 juniors and €15 for adults. Season tickets are available for the full week (€30 for juniors and €75 for adults), as well as weekend-only tickets (€15 and €40).

Crude Oil Prices Drop
RUSSIA has managed to catch the leaders of the oil exporting coun tries known as OPEC by complete surprise by refusing to cut oil pro duction by 1.5 million barrels a day. OPEC was looking to have huge cuts in order to keep prices high as demand has reduced due to the Coronavirus crisis, but crude prices dropped below $50 (€44) per barrel for the first time since 2017. It could be a Russian ploy but petrol and diesel prices at the pump should reduce for a while.

The modern obsession
Flybe failure hits Ferrovial IT is not just travellers to Spain who will lose out by regional airline Flybe going into administration, but Span ish multinational group Ferrovial will also suffer financial losses by this decision. Whilst Administrators are trying to find buyers for either the entire Flybe business or liquidate its assets, all flights have been grounded and both passengers and its 2,400 staff have been ‘left in the air.’ Ferrovial some time ago entered into a joint venture with Australian financial group Macquarie to form a company known as AGS Airports
By John Smith and they manage a number of UK airports which were used by Flybe. The two companies paid Heathrow Airport Holdings (which is itself owned 25 per cent by Fer rovial) more than £1 (€1.15) billion in 2014 to take over the manage ment of Aberdeen, Glasgow and Southampton airports. Although Flybe didn’t operate many flights out of Glasgow, in 2019 according to Cirium data, it account ed for 36 per cent of the capacity of Aberdeen airport and a huge 95 per cent of Southampton airport depar
tures and arrivals with flights target ing Alicante, Malaga and Mallorca. These airports had already taken a hit with the loss of Thomas Cook airlines and traffic had fallen by nearly 8 per cent along with rev enue, so this latest news is not en couraging. At the end of 2019, AGS reported that it had debts of £693 (€796) mil lion and an operating profit of £94 (€108 million) so it is now impera tive that it tries to attract new air lines to Southampton in particular or there could be serious financial implications.
THE British obsession with many things American is personified by the amount of money being spent on coffee which according to Mintel research group should reach £4 (€4.6) billion in 2020. Many consumers purchase their caffeine shot from high street cof fee shops with Costa Coffee being the most popular followed by Starbucks and having spotted an other market McDonalds is catch ing up fast. Since 2015, annual sales have increased by £1 (€1.15) billion and the average drinker has drifted away from the high street café to specialist coffee shops.
LEGALLY SPEAKING Can they use e-mail proxies? I read your reply regarding proxy votes in the Euro Weekly of February 27. When our community was formed it was agreed in our original statutes that a proxy can be sent by email. This has been the case for the last six years. Surely, if the community statutes allow you to send a proxy by email, then this cannot be illegal. C H (Costa del Sol) You are quite right. It is perfectly ac YOU AND THE ceptable to send a LAW IN SPAIN proxy form by e mail. This form signed by you grants another person the right to cast your vote at the AGM. However, the proxy is not your vote. It authorises the holder to vote in your place. The person who holds it must cast the vote for it. This meets the horizontal law requirement that voting at the AGM is by personal attendance or by proxy. The ear lier EWN piece to which you refer pointed out that vot ing by email does not meet this legal requirement. A vote is not the same as a proxy. Even if the community agrees to accept email votes and no problems arise, they are not really legal.

The Spanish interest comes from Miguel Abelló who has just re placed his father Juan as executive president of Torreal and has re moved the group’s investment from Prestige Motors and will be controlling the shares directly. His commitment already exists to purchase shares to the value of £10 (€11.5) million and he is on record as wanting to keep Aston Martin alive and still building prestige cars. Former partner in Prestige Mo tors, Italian Group Investindustrial has also signified its support for the sale of additional shares but there is even a potential knock on effect from the Coronavirus as currently China accounts for some 9 per cent of the vehicle manufacturer’s sales. It would appear that with all of this support that Aston Martin will be saved in the immediate future but it is recognised that it needs to invest significant amounts in updat ing machinery and launching at least one new model.

WHAT the UK society truly needs to do is man up, or woman up, or ‘It’ up whatever is acceptable in this age of minority appeasing lunacy. I’m sure we are all in complete sympathy and utterly commiserate with the victims of the horrendous flooding that has occurred in the UK of late. However, early on in the crisis, would it really have helped the situation to have Boris and his entourage disrupting the whole emergency proceedings by sailing up the high street in the bows of a boat like some fortuitous figurehead - merely to appease some of the residents, who I’m sure actually had far better things to do than wring out their problems to someone who could do far more good directing emergency operations elsewhere? Personally I think the Prime Minister was quite correct to postpone his visit till more recently, when he was able to access the whole situation across the board. Having a political leader waste valuable time by physically visiting a disaster area to offer nothing more than a damp handshake is an utter nonproductive nonsense. I do of course not include moral lifting visits by Royalty in these situa-
tions. What about Civil servant Phillip Rutland? Last week this wimp resigned because he was being ‘bullied’ by Home Secretary Priti Patel. ‘Aw diddums.’ Apparently, among other things, she accused her whole department of being ‘F……g useless’! Well, in my experience of these Government civil servants, she’s probably not far wrong. This arrogant bunch of limp wristed egotists, actually do think they run the country - and in many cases they could be right. These shadowy public servants are immensely powerful and manipulative, and consequently suffer from delusions of grandeur that are quite extraordinary. If you wonder what these unelected lot actually do, I can refer you to the highly successful TV series ‘Yes Prime Minister.’ The two who attended the PM were civil
GOVERNMENT: Servants of the people.
servants and the hysterically funny way they could manipulate their boss was actually not a long way from the truth. It also doesn’t matter what party is in power. Civil servants observe elections as a mere ‘glitch’ - a short period of disruption before they simply carry on in the ‘same ol’ ‘same ol’! One of
them did in fact gloatingly once inform me that many new MPs have no idea how to proceed and actually come to them for advice! What about that for - a very disturbing - arrogance? Well, all power to Ms Patel, who is also being accused of creating a ’climate of fear’ and apparently could ‘show unprovoked levels of aggression.’ Good, exactly what this bunch of unelected desk wallahs need. Time to learn that they are not in fact a government within a government, but servants of the people who were actually elected by constituents to run the country. So, if Preta Patel is wielding the whip, I for one wish all power to her elbow. Actually I’m surprised some of these disgruntled namby pambys don’t enjoy it! Ah well.

Advertising Feature NEATER HEATER have come a long way since they started over 10 years ago by introducing the residents of the Costa Blanca to slimline, efficient, Norwegian Convector Heaters. The whole enterprise started when two expats, Richard and Tony, had been unsuccessfully looking for efficient and economical electric radiators for their homes. They then came across these heaters quite by chance while working in the Villa of the UK importer. Realising they had found a great solution to fill a gaping hole in the market, they started importing and selling them to the rest of us. The original Beha heaters were a great success and sales grew mainly by word of mouth as customers recommended them to their neighbours. Since then, never resting in their desire to provide their customers with a greater variety of choice Neater Heater have added the Norwegian Adax heaters, and the very popular Turkish made Vigo heaters to their catalogue. The last year has been very
Neater Heater More Choice, Greater Control
GREAT HEATERS: Now come with a Wi-Fi option. exciting with Adax and Beha both introducing a range of heaters that can be controlled remotely through Wi-Fi systems by use of their down-
loadable Apps. Says Richard “Our customers vary in age and technical ability. We are seeing an increasing amount of people opting for
the Neater Heaters with a Wi-Fi option. They get the same great heaters, but have much more control over them. However, a great many of our customers find technology baffling. They just want a good efficient heater that they can control simply with an on-off switch and a thermostat. We are happy to say that all Neater Heaters can be controlled manually, including those with a Wi-Fi option. “We at Neater Heater are offering our customers the same great service, whether through one of our many outlets, or through our online shop, but now they have more choice and, depending on the heater they choose, an option of much greater control.” For more information visit our website at neaterheater.es

THE NANNY STATE STRIKES AGAIN! NORA JOHNSON EATING HABITS: I wish research would make up its mind.
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
A RECENT study found that ‘eating a piece of fruit and a large serving of vegetables a day could reduce the risk of a stroke by 13 per cent.’ Well, researchers, when ‘could’ becomes ‘will,’ give me a ring, come back when you’re sure! It seems what kills you this week will add a decade to your lifespan next week. Ideas like this change so often there’s little point worrying about it. We’ve all got to die of something, after all. Eating more fruit and vegetables whilst at the same time reducing meat consumption, particularly red meat, will reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack largely by reducing cholesterol levels. However, it can be taken too far. Another report showed that vegetarians tended to have lower incidences of stroke and heart attack than those who ate large amounts of red meat, which is unsurprising. Ve-
gans had a higher risk of stroke. The body needs cholesterol, but too much is a problem. Vegans possibly don’t have enough, meat eaters too much. Reports like this aren’t doing a lot for my blood pressure as they raise more questions than they answer. But they presumably attracted funding and kept the authors in jobs. Which seems a primary function of research these days... But how I wish these food researchers would simply make up their minds - another example is eggs. One minute they’re a no-no, then back on the table, next accompanied by a stroke warning. Then we learn that ‘eating red meat is not as bad for you as once thought’ and then it is! Any day now they’ll be recommending a full fried breakfast as essential to health!
And next week too much coffee will be bad for your haemorrroids. What are these researchers drinking to come up with such daft conclusions? It was only recently I read somewhere that drinkers live longer than non-drinkers. But the logic of the recommended two ‘dry’ days a week is somehow compelling. Mine are mañana and the day after. What are yours? Double G&T, anyone?

Let’s sing happy birthday twice! MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man
WILD BOAR: Are actually quite docile animals.
FRANKLY SPEAKING I’M a British national living in an urbanisation on the Costa del Sol, and like in many other areas around here, there are a few wild boars about. They plod around, mainly at night, and are quite docile. I will admit, however, I was terrified when I first saw them. But after talking to my neighbours, I learned not to be afraid. They are only looking for food, and certainly aren’t here to harm us. They aren’t carnivores, but the Junta has now given hunters authorisation to cull them. And they gave the job to archers, how lovely! People are horrified, not only for the animals, but they have big concerns for the safety of people and pets. What if one got hit? It has happened before. Most people agree that hunting shouldn’t happen on urbanisations, and a recent petition to save a tamed family has gained almost 5,000 signatures, so far. People say Spanish are
“
We are the invaders not them.
cruel to animals. But, ironically, this is mainly the fault of the busy body expats in upmarket urbanisations. They’re the ones who’ve been moaning for months. Not because someone was hurt, but because their immaculate lawns get ruined. Aesthetics are clearly their priority. Or did they not realise the constant complaining would make authorities take drastic action?! For months, people have posted photos on social media with captions like ‘OMG someone is going to get hurt’ too. I’ve not heard of one person being attacked. But a man was shot dead by a stupid hunter only a few weeks ago.
He mistook him for a boar! As in most cases, humans end up being more dangerous than animals. Why can’t people work together as communities instead? They could take waste food from restaurants inland to tempt the animals back up. Instead it goes in the bin! Also, why can’t councils educate people? Give them practical advice? The boar only attack if they feel under attack. If people in Australia can live in har mony with their wildlife, why can’t we? We did move to their land after all. And we are the invaders, not them! But then, perhaps complaining is easier! We’re quick to criticise the Spanish when it comes to animal welfare. But we are part of the problem! Animals will now die a horrible slow death, all because people are too lazy to try and come up with a kind solution. The damage is done now though. Let’s just hope our kids don’t see the carnage.
WELL if you haven’t already noticed there is a new virus called 2019 novel coronavirus, or 2019-nCoV. It is, of course, very serious and obviously there are lots of things being said about what precautions one should take so as not to catch it. The problem is that there is also a ridiculous amount of misinformation too. So, where should you turn for the latest information on a minute by minute changing situation? We know there’s a lot of useful and reliable information online, but there’s also a lot of rubbish, so which is which. Firstly read the stuff issued by the WHO - not the rock band - the World Health Organisation and other accredited medical sources. Definitely not the red tops or other gutter press. Just as the number of people and countries affected by this new virus has spread, so have conspiracy theories and unfounded claims about it. Already social media sites, including Facebook,
Twitter, YouTube, and Tik Tok, have seen a number of false and misleading posts about the virus. This is what causes the panic - people stockpiling food and supplies. Then there are the con merchants who are trying to sell ‘non-medical immune boosters’ which are totally useless. There is always some that want to profit out of misery and vulnerable people. I don’t know how the virus started. The conspiracy theorists say it’s man-made which, of course, is possible. All I know is apart from the damage it can do to people; the damage to businesses is really going to be catastrophic. Movie premieres, flights, meetings, shows and concerts are all being cancelled. The Chinese Grand Prix has been postponed and sporting events cancelled. I’ve seen people in Spain wearing face masks which, if it’s just a regular surgical face mask doesn’t help at all. What I’m saying is panic can be more dangerous than anything else. I am now going to wash my hands. Even that advice has contradictions. I read somewhere you have to do it whilst singing happy birthday twice but somewhere else said sing God Save the Queen. I’m sticking to happy birthday as I don’t know all of God Save the Queen.

MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING I HOPE you all take a moment to catch up with who’s who in our fantastically diverse community via my TV show Marbella Now; you just really do never know who you are going to meet. This week we started off with a wonderful chat with Arnulf Braun, Consul by profession for Germany. He has an extremely warm and lively personality, as does the Vice-Consul, Martina Kramer, both of whom make for a most interesting interview. Also meet Victorio Menghi a fabulous musician with a passion for tango fusion and performing locally for a limited time only, so hurry up and book quickly! On Tuesday we welcomed Pilar Valladolid who moved to Marbella from Madrid for a better quality of life and climate after having been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I had no idea really what this ailment entails, so much to be learnt

DIVERSE COMMUNITY: You just never know who you are going to meet. on the subject thanks to my chat with Pilar and to the book she has just released on the subject. Also not to be missed is my interview with Kevin Cunningham of The Claddagh Irish Pub in Marbella - new #ZeroHero partners by the way. We talk about their upcoming festivities leading us up to St Patrick’s Day, including watching the
GAVIN LAMBE-MURPHY AT midnight on New Year’s Eve, I found myself very much single. After months of realising that the relationship was over, the Eureka moment hit me. Having been asked to spend New Year’s Eve with one special person, only to have plans cancelled last minute, was all I needed to finally wake up. I’d listened to so many excuses and lies for too long. Myself and my ex, who is based in Italy, had drifted far apart. In fact, somehow I blame social media and such for allowing me to believe that the relationship still had a future, or even a present. The world we inhabit today means we spend much time living online, rather than the real world. Lines become blurred, and when situations are bad, we search for any sign of light, in the endless late night text messages. Sadly, it transpired, I was searching for light, he was searching for guys to sleep with. Over time, more important plans were cancelled, always with sim-
horse-racing, live music and other entertainment in the park and promenade. I will write a more detailed column on what it was like to welcome the new girls group Calyco to the show - but for the moment let’s just say that you will be delighted not just to see who’s part of the group, but also why we should all take part in supporting their success!
I couldn’t have felt more proud! It’s always a delight to have Charo Van Hulst of the Butterfly Children charity on the show and thanks to her we welcome back this week our local philanthropist Martin Tye. He explains his new business to save us money on electricity, green electricity no less, and a donation of €1 to Debra for

DATING ilar excuses and empty promises. I must admit that I was slow to accept things, and only when I caught him with one of his love interests, did it make me close the door. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t as simple as that. In fact, as 2020 began, I started to believe the hurt and sadness I was feeling would never stop. To make it worse, I left all avenues of communication between us wide open, so would ineveitably receive WhatsApp messages at 4am, telling me how much he missed me etc. Eventually he told that me that having met with many other guys, and ‘looked around’ at other options, he believes I am, the ‘best option’ for him, after all. At this point I decided perhaps it was time for me to look around too. One guy I spoke with at one of the dating apps, was very insistant about taking me to lunch. It’s just lunch, what’s the worst that could happen? Dressed and ready to go, I began to question myself. What was I doing? I was barely over my last situation and

each contract signed which makes much sense as his company is called when translated into English ‘Butterfly Energy.’ I had a chance to brush up my almost non-existent French with Evelyne Ramelet, President of the French Business Club who brought with her the equally delightful Laurence Neus who is just launching a new all-French magazine for the Costa. Our CIT Marbella guest of the week is Kathy Carrasco from Marbella Skol who rents apartments in one of the most emblematic buildings in our town’s centre and very knowledgeable on the local rental market. As a special treat this week I’m sharing my trip to Malaga to explore the city. Meet Marco of La Mota tapas bar in a square quite ironically known as Plaza de San Pedro de Alcántara and enjoy the Carnaval spirit in true Spanish style; making for a perfect week.
now I was heading into the unkown. Having learned of my exe’s constant infidelities, I clearly now have trust issues. At lunch, my date sure was handsome, in fact more so than online. Tanned, fit, and showing an in-yourface sort of wealth and confidence. This made me nervous, only soon to be followed by bored. After telling me about his fabulous life and boasting about his watch, car, travel plans and... Sorry, I can’t recall, I’d zoned out by this point. Within minutes, he was asking if I would like to see some properties he was selling on the far side of Marbella. Before I could answer, an iPad was produced, complete with a video demonstration for each. This was a sales pitch, and I was trapped. I smiled as I viewed property after property, each one a ‘great investment opportunity.’ Once I explained that I already had a wonder ful home, he made some stupid excuse about his sister needing his help. Before I knew what was going on, he had gathered his things and exited sharply. As I sipped the wine, I realised that he had invited me to a lunch I didn’t really want, and subsequently landed me with the bill. This was a first, but what can you do, but laugh. And order more wine.

TIME OUT Cartoon by Audrey Quinton www.audreyq.co.uk
YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) You realise this week how liberating it is to share your thoughts and feelings with someone close. It is not always easy to do this, until you realise everyone has them. Some hopes and dreams are more attainable than others, of course, and someone has to find out which are which.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Time is precious this week because you are in demand. A chance lost in the past presents itself again but won’t be too easy. Holding back just a little makes you more desirable. A want to travel could be cramped by financial considerations. If making extra money is too difficult, consider sharing something of value with someone else.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) After a relaxed weekend, it might prove difficult to take up the reins of work again. However, midweek sees you trotting along happily and minding your own business when someone stops you in your tracks. When a challenge is issued, your natural stubbornness comes to the fore.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) With a mind as sharp as a needle, you spin through the week, weaving your own charming spell. A bit of extra confidence works wonders for your mood. Something that you read sets you thinking about doing some writing or creating something artistic, perhaps even a musical.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Although energy is not high, there is the need to have some kind of challenge. With the brain active, it is an ideal time to plot and plan your next moves. Maybe something that has been delayed might now be advanced. You find it hard to choose between opportunities.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) The imagination stirs and the heart races at a suggestion
this week. Your strong intuition tells you it is the right thing to do.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Reading the small print or being sure what is offered in a personal encounter is most important this week. Leave nothing to chance or you could be out of pocket.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Being over-generous with cash midweek could see you making a poor move. Perhaps someone needs to be more hardworking or perhaps less of a spendthrift. Propping up a bad habit would be doing them no favours.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) A suggestion made by you recently did not seem to be taken seriously. This week, however, negotiations could be opened. Circumstances change and it may seem someone gave up too early. Bide your time and even hold your tongue when someone in a strong position spouts rubbish.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Confidence in a close relationship should be maintained. Possibly someone who envies your position would like to see discord. A matter of spiritual or religious faith is questioned, but the answer comes more clearly and sharply than you would have thought.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) An investment made recently is built upon and brings peace of mind. Finances do need consideration but more in the long than the shortterm. Much is happening in the background that does not require your attention but, all the same, be aware.

BIRTHDAYS
IN December 2014, Caroline danced her way into the nation’s hearts when she raised the BBC’s coveted Strictly Come Dancing glitter ball. Known for her throaty laugh, edgy humour and quick-fire wit, showcased on some of Britain’s most popular reality TV shows, she was thrust into the mainstream, hosting ITV’s flagship talent show, The X Factor, with Olly Murs. Storm in a C Cup, reveals the laughter and pain behind the TV persona, from a sheltered Norfolk childhood shared with her twin sister, through her madcap student days, to the challenging career ladder leading to eventual TV success, not forgetting its dark shadow, when intrusive media attention turned the dream into a nightmare. She takes us behind the cameras at some of TV’s most successful reality shows, including the tensions, stresses and unlikely friendships of the threemonth adventure that was ‘Strictly.’

HIGH PRAISE DEAR Euro Weekly, Yesterday I read the first piece by your new columnist Miss Bipolar and I have to say thank you so very much. As a long-term sufferer of depression and anxiety it really made a difference to my day reading about somebody here in Spain who has similar feelings and how they cope. She wrote about things that are constantly on my mind and made me feel at ease and took a little bit of weight off my shoulders that day. As a Brit abroad, I often find it hard to discuss my feelings with health care professionals here as my Spanish is not perfect and some things can be lost in translation, important things. I will definitely be reading the column every week. Thank you, Miss Bipolar for brightening up my day. Kind regards Damian Wood
Striking a chord Dear Leapy Lee, Thank you for saying what we think, every week. This week’s article struck a chord. A while back, I contacted the Race and Equality Board or whatever they now call themselves? It seemed a trivial subject, but I wanted to prove a point, especially as my taxes are going towards all these Anti-White organisations. I told them that I was offended by the Meerkats adverts on the TV. I pointed out that even though they were puppets, they were given human voices. As the Meerkat is native to the Kalahari Desert, which is in the south of Africa, I asked why they all had Russian accents? The silly little girl ‘working’ for this government office, wanted to know what made me think they were Russian? I replied that names like Alexander, Sergei, Oleg etc and the using of Rubles were a bit of a giveaway. She wanted to then know why I was offended? I said that I descended from Grandparents that had fled the Russian Revolution and that these ad-

OUR VIEW
The cost of free speech FREEDOM of expression is facing an unprecedented threat in the UK. The government published its latest plans for new laws against ‘online harms’ in February 2020. The proposals are set to be a disaster for freedom of expression and privacy online that would make the internet an aggressively monitored, controlled speech zone. Speech that is lawful offline will be regulated online, stifling free expression and influencing online censorship internationally. Online speech regulations inscribe limitations on the everyday communications of billions of people. Government has designed the plans not only to deal with crime online, but to explicitly target lawful speech. Internet and social media companies are the public squares or the town criers of the modern day. They allow people to communicate, politically organise, expose corruption and build new communities on a scale never seen before. Social media platforms are censoring views and deleting accounts haphazardly, often in response to political tides rather than rule breaches, effectively playing judge and jury with our rights.

COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (also known as CBT) is a type of psychotherapy intervention that aims to improve mental health. Based on the CBT triangle of thoughts, feelings and behaviours, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on challenging and changing distortions that are led to believe to be causing problems and then to reevaluate them in the light of reality. It can be used for a range of problems such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, drug and alcohol abuse, relationship concerns and many mental health illnesses. With extensive research Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is proven to lead to significant improvement in both functioning and quality of life! So, how can it help you? We all want to be happy in life don't we? The definition of happiness differs from person to person but happiness is something that is universally pursued. Most people fixate happiness with physical aspects of their life for example or

changes in their current situation such as, I will be happy when if I am slimmer, I will be happy with more money, I will be happy in a different job. Do these statements ring true to any of you? This may surprise you but richer people are not always happier, slimmer people are not always happier and neither are those who have more money. In fact, physical and material objects have no impact on how happy it makes an individual. So what is the difference? It all comes down to perspective or thoughts in our own situations! There is an over used expression that is used yet is extremely important and actually gets to the heart of CBT. Is your glass half full or half empty? This is the difference between happy and unhappy people. The glass of water is seen as the person’s situation or their life’s circumstances. We tend to think that by filling the glass with materialistic objects such as a new job, a new house or more money will sufficiently fill the glass but physical objects actually have no
impact at all. It is all about the thoughts, feelings and behaviours you have. Here is an example by Dr Michael Sinclair to give you a full understanding of how this works. Two friends, Emma and Sarah both have job interviews on the same day. Emma is feeling very nervous and can feel her heart in her throat. In contrast Sarah whilst slightly nervous, is actually a little excited. Although she is aware of the unusual feeling in her chest, she refers to it as butterflies rather than the pounding of her heart. These two women are in identical situations but are experiencing very different physical and emotional reactions. This is down to one fundamental difference... THEIR PERSPECTIVE! Whether one is more qualified than the other is irrelevant, as is all of the external factors. It all comes down to how we view the situation. CBT refers to two core aspects of psychology; 1. Thinking Cognition refers to all of our thoughts, which include memories, images and
words etc. Everything that goes through our heads fall into this category. 2. Action Behaviour refers to whatever we are doing with our body at any particular moment. Quite often, when people ask what we are doing, we respond with ‘nothing’. This is actually impossible! We are ALWAYS doing something, even sitting down staring out of the window is considered an action. Here is an exercise for all of my wonderful readers. Sit in a quiet comfortable place with no distractions. Answer the following questions without too much thought. 1. How would you like to feel? 2. What do you like best about yourself? 3. What changes are you willing to make? 4. How do you feel physically? 5. How do you feel emotionally? 6. How do you behave? 7. Can you see the connection between the last three questions?
By answering these questions openly and honestly, you can retrain your thoughts which will then have a completely different impact on your feelings and behaviours. If you would like to learn more about your answers or information regarding CBT, please email me at coachingwithdione@gmail.com.

Hair type, care type NOW there’s no universally correct answer for ‘How often should I wash my hair?’ because every single scalp and hair type is unique. So even though you’ve probably heard that it’s best to wash your hair as infrequently as possible, that may not exactly be true. Your ultra-fine, grease-prone hair won’t follow the same rules as someone with combination curls because depending on your hair type, not washing your hair enough can cause dandruff, irritation and even hair loss. Also, washing too frequently can lead to stripped, straw-like hair and scalp inflammation. So, although it’ll still require some testing to figure out how often to wash your hair, here is a basic starting frequency for some hair types to help you wash your hair with less stress. Fine hair shows grease and oil more than other hair types do. It may be tempting to shampoo every day, but you’ll just end up stripping your hair and potentially leading to even more oil. Instead, SO many vitamins and minerals promise improved health, but which ones deliver? If you’ve ever stepped foot inside a health food store, then you’ll know how many supplements are out there. Now choice is great but it can be overwhelming. In fact, it seems like there’s a sup-
wash your hair every other day with a gentle, volumising formula and blast your roots with dry shampoo to curb day-two grease. Thick, dense hair follicles tend to disguise oil better than thinner hair, which means that if your hair isn’t very oily, try to wash it only once or twice a week. If you’re prone to buildup or itchiness, try a shampoo filled with the poreclearing and inflammationzapping tea tree oil to will your roots clean without f e e l i n g stripped. Waves and looser curls can get weighed down by the butters and oils in curl-specific shampoos, especially if your hair is fine. To keep them voluminous and defined - without the straw-like dryness - wash every other day or every two days (with a sulfate-free cleanser that’s formulated with lightweight moisturisers.
When you damage your hair it roughs up the cuticles, leaving your strands dry, dull, and brittle. To help counteract the damage, try sulphate-free, colour-safe shampoo that uses plant-based proteins and lightweight oils to gently cleanse and hydrate. Then, once a
week, douse your hair in a treatment that uses keratin to repair the broken bonds in your fried hair.

chemicals our cells naturally produce, called free radicals. Most of us don’t get enough Vitamin D from the sun, so supplements are crucial. Great for fighting bugs and strengthening bones and teeth, it is also essential for healthy brain function. We need magnesium to relax our muscles, which in helps us relax body and mind. Combine magnesium with meditation and massage or take in the evening to improve sleep.

Laughing is the best medicine MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED “HAVE I gone mad?” Asked the mad hatter. “Sadly, I’m afraid so” said Alice... “You’re entirely bonkers, but shall I tell you a secret? “ALL the best people usually are.” Alice in Wonderland Personally speaking, laughter is really the best medicine, getting to laugh about something that is otherwise so hard to deal with in your own head is such a gift. It can be used as a healthy defence tactic to master an unpleasant situation... If you can laugh at the matter; you gain the power to control bipolar rather than let it control you, which automatically makes you feel better. Don’t get me wrong, a mental illness is not a joking matter but it can be a laughing matter. When we laugh, our brain is stimulated, we take ourselves less seriously and we are better equipped to overcome future challenges. Part of my recovery is learning to look back and laugh at past situations. There was this one time, I had gone for a routine check-up with my psychiatrist, and Dad was waiting outside in the car. I had been quiet all the way there, appointments always made me very angsty and Drs running late would only make my anxiety worse! The Doctor called me in, I told her how I
was feeling at the time, no alterations to my medication this time wohooo!! I came out and got in the car, and Dad asked me “How did it go, still a fruit loop?” To which we both laughed at all the way home. Being able to laugh at yourself can have such a positive effect on your mental health, knowing from experience it can make life a little easier and a little brighter. The only times I take offence at someone joking about mental illness, or generally anything, is when it’s disrespectful. Other than that, it’s healing and the best therapy. Laughing can turn a negative experience into a positive one. It’s also contagious, so reach out and try and make someone laugh! I hate bipolar - it’s awesome! If you have any experiences you would like to share or questions you would like to ask feel free to email me. Love Ms Bipolar x

Committed couple SPANISH actress and model, Elsa Pataky and her husband, Australian actor Chris Hemsworth, have always been very environmentally conscious. So, it comes as no surprise that the couple feels very strongly about recent fires that ravaged the land where they live with their three children, Australia. The couple’s commitment to helping with the cause is so strong that they have donated almost a million euros to help different organisations. Such as the NSW Rural Fire Service, County Fire Service in South Australia and to the County Fire Authority in the State of Victoria. “We have a position that allows us to contribute to the fight for the environment and influ-

The heat and drought, together with the fire, have left this country in a very vulnerable state,” she declared. “The money we have donated will be used both for forest
recovery and wildlife rescue, and will also contribute to the repair of roads and telecommunications infrastructure and to help people directly affected by fires,” she added. The Hollywood stars live in Byron Bay with their three children, India, seven, and the twins Tristan and Sacha, five. The children take great care of the environment and live in an authentic farm surrounded by animals. According to Elsa, it is completely normal for them to recycle correctly or dispense with plastics. "Living here has allowed us to lead a life very committed to the environment and for our children to grow up with those values."
Affleck hones Spanish skills RUMOUR has it that Hollywood superstar Ben Affleck is heading back to school to polish up on his Spanish after realising his 14-year-old daughter, Violet, has a better command of the language. The Batman star perfected his Spanish skills while living and working as a child actor in Mexico and has always taken pride in being able to help her with her homework - until recently. “She’s right at the point where I think she might be passing me,” he said during a recent TV appearance. “I was like, ‘Nope, this is not happening! I don’t mind that I can’t do your math homework... but you are not gonna be better at Spanish than me.’ “I’ve decided I’ve gotta take classes, I’ve gotta do something to keep up... she’s like, ‘That sounds ridiculous. You’re not using the perfect tense!’” However, Ben is beginning to realise that because he studied Spanish in Mexico, he

The pair have been spotted enjoying dinner and shopping in the actress’ native home of Cuba and confirmed their romance when they were seen sharing a passionate kiss before boarding a private jet off the island.

DESPITE the news that both Cork and Dublin have cancelled their traditional St Patrick’s Day Parades due to Coronavirus, it was hoped that the planned events here on the Costa del Sol would still be going ahead. Sadly this is not now the case as the fear of infection with large gatherings has meant that events have either been cancelled or postponed. La Cala de Mijas is blessed with a great Irish Bar Biddy Mulligan’s and they were organising a parade through the town centre on Sunday from 11.45am with free music and dancing opposite until 7pm but this is now not going ahead.

The decision to postpone was not an easy one as it affected not only the general public, but some 30 people who were scheduled to entertain the audiences in both locations as well as four local bars, caterers, sound engineers, stage crew
and marshalling volunteers. Charitable organisations were also due to have staff in attendance to raise funds for their respective organisations. Arroyo de la Miel was to be the setting for a weekend of cultural and religious events, starting with a concert on the evening of Saturday March 14, a special mass on Sunday with a celebration of Celtic music and dance in the church grounds later and information on those plans was available from Immaculate Conception Church in Arroyo. Although the traditional get together in Marbella at the Parque de la Constitucion died out a couple of years ago, local Irish favourite Claddagh Bar still planned to hold a twoday event on the Paseo Maritimo, but it is currently not known whether it will proceed.

I asked what she would like to do and where she would like to go. “We can go anywhere” I said as her birthday fell on a Monday when we close and we also close Sundays so we could get away for two days. “The Tennis Club” she said without hesitation, referring to The Miraflores Tennis Club where we go every Sunday to play paddle tennis then afterwards we often have lunch there. We love the atmosphere and the friendly service and as it is local for us, we can drink then walk home! They do a fabulous Sun-
day lunch with Irish Rib Eye beef cooked on the bone with excellent crispy roasties. They also have live music, so when you are sitting in the sun on the lovely terrace next to the pool eating great food created by Chef Paul (who was the Head Chef of El Oceano Hotel for many years) you feel well… happy! Paul and I know each other from many moons ago when we were both training at The Savoy Hotel in London in the 70’s, funny that we should both end up living in the same area! The Miraflores Tennis Club is owned and run by Jerry and his lovely wife Sammy. Jerry was a county tennis player in his teens and was involved in the sports business. They came to Spain on holiday to play tennis and were offered the run down Miraflores Tennis Club to buy. Jerry and Sammy have four boys and thought what a fantas-
Jerry, Sammy and Steven.
tic life it would be to own a tennis club especially over here in Spain for their young boys. They have spent a lot of money on the club developing it and refurbishing throughout, it now looks amazing, has a pool side bar, six tennis courts and two paddle courts. I met up with Jerry earlier in the week before Michele’s birthday and between us we organised a special menu which included
A delighted Michele.
some huge prawns grilled with garlic and lemon, a special Chanel No 5 designer cake and of course Michele’s favourite drink… Veuve Clicquot Rose! She had no idea about the menu or the cake, so it was going to be a lovely surprise coupled with the special gift that I bought her. I had gone shopping in Puerto Banus looking for a gift and seen this stunning short white leather
jacket covered in studs and Swarovski crystals in the Philipp Plein shop. You know when you find something that is spectacular and then think, yeah but it’s a lot of money! But we only live once and Michele is the backbone of our little business and she deserves it… Ok I’ll take it! Back at the tennis club, I presented the huge box to Michele and she opened it slowly expecting something small in a big box, her face was a picture when she saw it! “Wow” she said, then the singer (Grace) sang Happy Birthday, the Champagne flowed and the tennis club party came alive, made even more lively when I sang U2’s With or Without you live with my team around me! What a day, great food, great service and lovely guests, it really was the best birthday ever!
Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.
Huge prawns with prawn and garlic oil boil them for two to three minutes so that you can remove the claw meat. Reserve the claw shells for the prawn oil.
HUGE prawns like carabineros can be expensive, but you can find small lobsters at the moment weighing in at about 500g each which are a sensible price. You only need one per person for this simple recipe. Everybody does prawns in garlic, but try this recipe using a garlic and prawn oil! Ingredients (serves four) 4 huge prawns or 4 small lobsters 500g of prawn shells or prawns in their shell (any size) can be frozen 300g of wild garlic peeled but left whole (if you can’t get this use regular garlic) 250 ml of virgin olive oil 500 ml of sunflower oil 1 bunch of parsley finely chopped Juice of 2 lemons Maldon salt To prepare the prawns cut in half through the heads but not all the way through so that the two halves are still connected slightly. Remove the bowel

vein and wash under cold water. Peel off the little legs and reserve with the prawn shells. For lobsters do the same but remove the claws and
To make the prawn oil Put the frozen prawns or prawn shells in a roasting tray with half of the garlic - one that is deep enough so that you can cover them with the oil without it overflowing. Roast in the set at 140ºC oven until a rich golden colour, then remove from the oven, cover in the sunflower oil whilst war m and allow to sit for 12 hours covered with a cloth. After this time, pass through muslin or a fine sieve and squeeze as much flavour out as you possibly can. Keep in fridge until required. Cook the prawns Blanch the remaining garlic in a little water (enough to cover) to remove the bitterness. Then chop finely and
mix with the virgin olive oil so that you have a garlic oil dressing. Pour this over the prawns and grill for approximately two minutes until you see the garlic starting to colour a little. Season with a little Maldon salt. Remove the prawns and arrange in a deep bowl or on a plate and drizzle all over with the prawn oil. Finally squeeze over the lemons and sprinkle over the parsley and serve in the centre of the table. Chef’s Note The prawn oil seems a bit extravagant and time consuming, but it really does take garlic prawns up a few levels! The intensity of the prawn and garlic oil gives the dish some real punch. Whenever you have any prawn shells left over put them in a bag and freeze them. They not only make great oils but also great bisque too!

We desperately 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-chari ty.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA.

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 -animals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way. (93317)

TESTIMONIAL 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.

A new legend is born
THE Alfa Romeo brand renews its myth with a retur n to its origins, resurrecting one of the legends of motor racing and a milestone in its history: the Giulia GTA. The new Giulia GTA is technically and conceptually inspired by the 1965 Giulia GTA developed by Autodelta starting from the Giulia Sprint
GT which collected sporting successes all over the world. The Giulia GTA is immediately recognisable thanks to an exclusive characterisation not only aesthetically but also functional to per formance. Alfa Romeo engineers have worked to improve aerodynamics
RETURNING TO THEIR ORIGINS: Power alone is not enough.
and handling, but above all to reduce weight. Active aerodynamics were specifically designed to increase the aerodynamic load. Handling has been improved by widening the front and rear tracks by 50 mm and developing a new set of springs, shock absorbers and bushings for the suspension systems. As far
as performance is concerned, the Alfa Romeo 2.9 V6 Bi-Turbo engine, made entirely of aluminium and capable of delivering as much as 510
bhp in its standard configuration, reaches 540 bhp on the Giulia GTA, thanks to the meticulous development and calibration work carried out
Diesel sales collapse CAR owners are still nervous in the aftermath of the emissions scandal. Governments in the UK and around the world are ratcheting up the antidiesel rhetoric and diesel car tax regimes are looking less favourably on cars drinking from the black fuel pump. Since April 2018, Brits first-year vehicle excise duty (VED, or car tax) has jumped one band for diesels. As a result, motorists are facing rising tax costs and the spectre of lower residual values. But what should you do? Should you consider selling your diesel car now, before values collapse? Or is this all a storm in a teacup? Nobody is expecting diesel to be banned outright, although some urban centres are likely to outlaw the dirtiest models. From April 2019, London’s Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) started charging diesels that don’t meet Euro 6 regulations an extra £12.50 a day, for instance. As a fuel, diesel’s been around for more a century and the good news is that modern diesel engines, those meeting Euro 6 emissions regulations are impressively clean, with sufficient exhaust after-treatment built-in. Technology such as AdBlue and diesel particulate filters (DPF) are designed to filter out the soot particulates and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions that have been linked to ill health.
by engineers, who are also able to optimise the positive impact of the adoption of the new Akrapović titanium central exhaust system with its unmistakable sound. Power alone is not enough to guarantee extraordinary per formance. Extremely accurate work on lightness has been taken to the extreme: the weight reduction amounts to around 100 kilograms thanks to the adoption of lightweight materials. The result is a weight of 1,520 kg, which, thanks to the increase in power to 540 hp, brings the weight/power ratio to an excellent level, 2.82 kg/hp, making Giulia GTA best in class and able to express extraordinary performance. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is lightning fast. The result is a supercar for everyday use. Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA will be built in a limited series of 500 units in total, numbered and certified, ready to flank its 1965 ancestor among the most desired collector’s items.

Volkswagen Passat Estate
ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher WHILE sales of SUV models are soaring, there is still a significant demand for the traditional estate car f ro m t h o s e w h o re quire larger load capacity for family or business activities. So an estate car which is also a plug-in hybrid offering exceptional fuel economy and very low emissions would have additional appeal to those in the estate car market. The outstanding contender in this important niche sector is the Volkswagen Passat Estate, which is priced from €32,064 (£27,575) and is available with petrol, diesel and hybrid engines. I recently tested the Passat estate in plug-in hybrid form. Fitted with a 1.4 litre petrol engine, six-speed DSG auto gearbox and electric motor, it delivers a punchy 215 hp for eager

performance, yet has remarkably low fuel economy and emissions and can run up to 56 kilometres (35 miles) on electric power only. Top speed is 222 kph (138 mph), the 0100 kph time is a quick 7.6 seconds and emissions are just 39 g/km. The offical combined fuel economy figure is 64 kpl (180.8 mpg) and while ideal conditions would be required to achieve that figure in real-world driving, this is still a very economical estate car. In upper-specification GTE Advance trim it is priced at €47,512 (£40,860) and is laden with kit which includes sat-nav, infotainment system including digital radio, Bluetooth, smartphone mirroring and other connectivity features, a plug-in charging point in

and the bootspace of 650 litres is close to being best in class and can be expanded to an enormous 1,780 litres with the rear seats folded. Elegant exterior styling and a classy upmarket interior make the Passat Estate feel very special and that feeling continues once you start driving. Docile in urban traffic, it is a smooth, quiet motorway cruiser and the overall driving dynamics and wide range of driver aids evoke effortless ambiance. The Passat estate has competition primarily from other German marques Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW - but I feel the Passat comes across as the most accomplished, especially in plug-in hybrid form.
Powerful and expressive BMW has revealed the Concept i4 an all-electric saloon, which previews the German brand’s forthcoming i4 rival for the Tesla Model 3 that’s due to enter production in 2021. Underneath, the Concept i4 (and the upcoming production-ready i4) shares its bodyin-white with the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe. A handful of styling tweaks, such as a larger radiator grille, updated headlamps, a tweaked rear end and a range of blue styling elements feature, in a bid to distance this electric saloon from BMW’s conventionally powered line-up. BMW has also fitted a range of aerodynamically conscious design revisions, such as a set of wide-spoked alloy wheels and blanked-off ducting for the front bumper. The lowered side skirts also conceal the battery pack, while the reworked rear diffuser masks the space that would normally be

duction-ready iNEXT SUV and i4 electric vehicles. The screen controls almost all of the vehicle’s functions, including heating and ventilation, infotainment and navigation. The i4 features a 523bhp
electric motor, which provides a claimed 0–62mph time of four seconds and a top speed of 124mph. The powertrain is fed by an 80kWh battery pack, which provides a maximum claimed range of 373 miles.
The sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes ‘approximately four seconds,’ while its top speed will be ‘over 200 km/h’ (124 miles). It’s powered by a single 530 PS (522 horsepower) electric motor that powers the rear wheels. The driving qualities of the BMW Concept i4 cannot be expressed in figures alone. The virtually silent delivery of power creates an entirely new sensation of dynamism. “The design of the BMW Concept i4 shows fantastic proportions, a powerfully expressive character and, of course, a lot of attention to detail,” adds Domagoj Dukec, Head of BMW Design. The electric motor, power electronics, charging unit and high-voltage battery using fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology are all-new developments enabling the BMW Group to take another significant step forward in the field of electrified drive systems.

MARCEL SABITZER was at the double as a pair of Hugo Lloris errors condemned Tottenham to defeat at RB Leipzig and a Champions League exit. Tottenham’s hopes of repeating last season’s run to the Champions League final came to an end as RB Leipzig eased into the quarter-finals with a 3-0 second-leg win. Spurs could be considered fortunate to only lose 1-0 in the first leg in London after being outplayed by the Bundesliga title chasers and Jose Mourinho’s men were very much on the back foot again at Red Bull Arena. A comeback akin to Tottenham’s incredible turnaround in the semi-final against Ajax in Amsterdam last term was never on the cards, with captain Hugo Lloris enduring a nightmare evening as Leipzig skipper Marcel Sabitzer scored twice. Lloris made contact with each of Sabitzer’s efforts but failed to keep them out, Leipzig’s last-eight place booked in routine fashion as Spurs limped to a 4-0 aggregate defeat sealed by substitute Emil Forsberg’s late goal. Tottenham’s task became a more arduous one in the 10th minute as, after Timo Werner’s initial shot was blocked, the forward laid the ball off for Sabitzer, whose well-struck effort from the edge of the area proved too

JOSE MOURINHO: Faces an uphill battle to contest next season’s Champions League. hot for Lloris to handle. Werner had the ball in the net nine minutes later but his point-blank strike from Angelino’s left-wing cross was correctly ruled out for offside. However, Leipzig’s lead on the night was doubled soon after as Lloris was caught napping by Sabitzer. The France goalkeeper again got a touch, but was unable to prevent Sabitzer sneaking his near-post header from Angelino’s delivery over the line.
Peter Gulacsi got down to his right to deny Giovani Lo Celso a goal that would have given Spurs hope, and Lloris had to be similarly alert at the other end after Eric Dier’s clearance deflected off Patrik Schick and towards goal. A low-key second half saw Leipzig reduced largely to efforts from long range, and though Julian Nagelsmann’s men were perhaps guilty of taking their foot off the gas, they never looked like being punished for it.

There was one moment of concern for the home side, with Nordi Mukiele struck in the face with the ball, although he was able to sit up before being taken off on a stretcher. Dele Alli’s shot straight at Gulacsi was the best Spurs could muster, summing up Tottenham’s lack of goal threat without the injured Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, before Forsberg pounced to add late gloss with his first touch after an Angelino cross was not properly cleared. Tottenham may have been without Kane and Son, but there was fallibility elsewhere on the pitch that was laid bare as Leipzig ran riot on the counter-attack. The hosts could have won by a greater margin and Tottenham now face an uphill battle to contest next season’s Champions League. They are seven points behind fourth-placed Chelsea with nine Premier League games to play. Leipzig signed Angelino on loan from Manchester City in January and that move is looking ever more astute. Angelino ran Serge Aurier ragged down the left and had a hand in two goals. Lloris has previously received criticism for making too many errors for a goalkeeper of his ability and reputation, and he can expect to come under scrutiny again after his mistakes allowed Sabitzer to put the tie beyond Tottenham.
West Ham Should Have Beaten Arsenal ARSENAL started with Eddie Nketiah as a lone striker but his second-half replacement Alexandre Lacazette scored the winner against West Ham. Alexandre Lacazette came off the bench to score the winner as Arsenal extended their unbeaten Premier League run to eight games with a 1-0 victory over West Ham. The France international scored only his second league goal of 2020, converting from close range in the 78th minute to clinch three points for Mikel Arteta’s side, who struggled to break down a battling West Ham team before Lacazette’s second-half
introduction. The best chances of the afternoon before the goal fell to Hammers striker Michail Antonio, who misfired from close range either side of half-time, and Hammers boss David Moyes will be disappointed his side failed to hang on for a precious point towards their battle against relegation. Arteta started with Eddie Nketiah as a lone striker and failed to capitalise on what little possession came his way, while Gunners top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had an uncharacteristically quiet afternoon as he chased his 50th Premier League goal.
The result means Moyes is still without a win in 16 topflight away games against Arsenal - no manager in Premier League history has taken charge of more winless away games against a single opponent. West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen hit the post with a bobbling 20-yard drive in the second minute amid a slow start from Arsenal, whose first chance came when Mesut Ozil took aim from the middle of the box and drew a good save from Lukasz Fabianski. Sokratis Papastathopoulos hit the top of the crossbar with a header after Pierre-Emerick
Aubameyang teed him up as Arsenal began to turn the screw on a West Ham side content to sit back. But the Gunners were found lacking in the final third and five minutes before half-time Issa Diop’s knock-down to Antonio should have led to the first goal, only for the Hammers striker to fire wide from close range when it looked easier to score. West Ham continued to press after the interval, and it took a one-handed reaction save from Bernd Leno to keep Antonio from scoring with a free header before Arteta sent on Lacazette in an attempt to
inspire his side. The change did not immediately lift Arsenal, who breathed a sigh of relief after Bowen broke clear only to fire straight at Leno, but moments later came the breakthrough. Aubameyang’s drive looped up into the air and Ozil headed it gently down to Lacazette, who gleefully tucked it home from close range and celebrated after a lengthy VAR check for offside. Leno made a superb save to deny Sebastien Haller from close range as West Ham sought a quick response, but the hosts survived the scare and closed out the victory.

THE BIG GUNS AND THE UNDERDOGS TRIUMPH
SATURDAY March 7 was another historic moment in the short history of the Blue Sky Marbella Walking Football League as the two finalists for the first ever League Cup emerged from the two semi-finals.

The game moved back and forward with Smiles failing to take advantage of their extra man and Viñuela tightening at the back during the five-minute yellow card penalty with the game swinging from end to end with the goalkeepers having few shots to deal with. HALF TIME 0-0. The second half began with Smiles pushing harder to try and break the Viñuela defence who were holding firm against Smiles increased pressure. League top scorer Ian Salt chased every ball in his own inimitable walking style but failed to find the net. There was little to choose between the teams at the mid second half stage but as Smiles pushed forward harder Viñuela began to exploit errors in the Smiles and inevitably as they pushed forward more forcibly in an effort to break the deadlock Viñuela struck with a break away, the ball being squared across for Aden to fire home from the edge of the box and put Viñuela ahead and send their supporters delirious on the touchline and terrace. Smiles were caught on the break a few minutes later when an all out effort by Smiles to pull a goal back failed and Viñuela sent it straight up the field where Aden was waiting again to clinch victory with a well taken finish. Viñuela played the passing game to see time out to the final whistle when wild celebrations began as they realised they had reached the Euro Weekly News Walking Football League Cup Final. Quite a feat for a team with a fraction of the membership of the other clubs. Viñuela manager Steve George delighted they were in the final praised his team for their continued efforts and said they train and play as a unit and it was paying dividends. Smiles’ manager Gray Salt obviously disappointed was gracious in defeat and blamed himself for changing the team tactics at half time. “I wanted us to be more forceful and push forward but it backfired on us and we got caught on the break. My mistake, but congratulations to both teams and it should be an excellent final.” Like the previous semi-final it was well controlled by referee James Owen. So all eyes are now on weekend April 4/5 when the Final will take place. This is proving to be a problem for the League Management as they will have to look for a neutral venue with equal travelling distance for both teams. This will probably be the Malaga area, although the League has no contacts there.
