WHAT characterises so many businesses on the Costa del Sol whether run by expatriates or Spaniards is the fact that when facing adversity, they don’t sim ply give up but become creative and look for ways of keeping go ing regardless of the roadblocks in front of them Euro Weekly News is a perfect example of carrying on, employ ing staff, helping advertisers and informing readers even though times have been difficult, but the owners are resilient and have recognised that they would have to adapt quickly in order to continue to produce six copies of the paper every week despite reduced advertising. They may have made some mistakes on the way, but they can proudly boast that not a sin gle issue was missed even dur ing lockdown and although the paper may be smaller in size, it is still distributed throughout the Costa del Sol and the website has been massively improved with a dedicated team combin ing local, national and interna tional news seven days a week.
Another perfect example is the paper’s regular front page advertiser, Tennis and Padel, Club Del Sol in Calahonda which has reopened its 16 courts as both games are ideal examples of how to keep fit and respect social distancing. They can’t open the enclosed spaces such as squash courts, gym and changing rooms at the moment, but they already hope to be in phase two allowing full use of the club facilities in the New Year. Owner Jose Kreyman said “I could see that the lockdown was coming and closed our 6,000 square metre indoor area on March 4 to ensure that there would be no risk to staff or clients and then when the lock

Weekly News in so many outlets which means that my club is seen by literally thousands of people. “The paper recently celebrat ed 21 years of publication and I have advertised every week for 20 years which means that EWN and Club Del Sol must be doing something right as we are both survivors.” There is something very im pressive about a business that has the confidence to commit to spend money over a significant length of time and it is this spirit which we at Euro Weekly News know, appreciate and under stand as it is our philosophy as well, as we look to make the best future we can, rather than focus on what was.

Rights Infringed A BOLETIN OFICIAL DEL ESTADO (BOE) released from the Span ish government on September 19, 2020, presents a new change in the law that would see vitally important human rights and freedoms stripped. The BOE specifies new powers that affect the fundamental rights of Spanish citizens and residents by allowing the imple mentation of a law that would see the houses and private resi dences of the public able to be accessed on the demand of the health authorities via an administrative court. Health inspectors would give a very small threeday notice period to allow the oc cupants to appeal. Under the umbrella of the continuing Coronavirus pandemic, the law would allow health authorities to violate the privacy of residential premises by gaining authorisation through the ad ministrative court. An appeals process is in place for residents of premises that receive a notification of entry, however the threeday period can include weekend days. As such, an appeal of the decision may not be able to take place due to the resident not being able to find legal representation in time.

Lynx Love Payrise Fury TWO decades ago, it was hard to see how the Iberian Lynx would survive with fewer than 100 of them thought to still be alive. However, thanks to conserva tion efforts, captive breeding and habitat management, their numbers are soaring. The beautiful creatures dominated the Iberian scrubland for millennia however had you tried to see one in the wild not that long ago you would have found it ex ceptionally hard. In 2002, there were thought to be less than 100 left in the wild, with only a quarter of those thought to be breeding age females, according to a report by the New York Times. As a result of the species devastation, the LIFE+ Iberlince programme was founded with assistance from the Euro pean Union which has seen wild numbers in Spain and Portugal increase to an esti mate of over 900. As captive breeding programmes be came more successful, the animals were started to be released into the wild. The programme has been so success ful that the species has spread well be yond the original 100 square miles re lease area and has progressed into established populations in the Spanish re gions of Andalucia, CastillaLa Mancha and Extremadura, and across the border in southern Portugal.

The protagonist in the first nov el is Louisa a 15yearold girl grow ing up in London with a life full of emotion, love, strength, happi ness and sorrow. In the second book ‘Joan,’ Louisa, is now a pretty war wid ow, it is the 1950s and she is re married and living with her new husband in a beautiful farming vil lage in Kent. Jacqueline explained he reason for taking up writing, “My nan
used to tell me stories about the war. Inspired by her tales I felt I had to write some of these down so that my grandchildren could also read these stories.” She continued, “ I wanted to motivate young girls by reminding them how strong and indepen dent women were in those days.” ‘Joan’ was released on October 2 and along with ‘Louisa’ is avail able on Amazon.
Papa Scammed
20,000 chicks
A RECENT investigation has revealed that a mil lionaire takeaway pizza chain tycoon is suspect ed of stealing more than €280,000 of taxpay ers’ cash by claiming fake Eat Out to Help Out meals. Raheel Choudhary, who owns 61 Papa John’s franchise restaurants is the US giant’s largest UK franchisee, allegedly instructed staff to record thousands of ‘phantom covers’ while the government scheme was running. Because these nonexistent meals were classed as ‘Eat Out to Help Out,’ the UK taxpay er footed half the bill. However, most of his restaurants were not even eligible for the offer because they were collection and delivery only.
AROUND 20,000 chicks have been abandoned at a Madrid airport, prompting an appeal from a Spanish animal welfare group for help to save them. The little chicks were found in boxes at Adolfo Suarez MadridBarajas Airport, waiting to be shipped, but the planned shipment to Africa was refused. The boxes remained at the airport for three days, and sadly many died having been left in the hangar. They are appealing for donations of heat lamps, cardboard and flat drinking troughs, so that the chicks can be kept warm, have access to water and food.

Adapting to the new situation EMMA and Scott from Scoffers bar have seen the change of the seasons on the Costa Del Sol from their cute family bar in Fuengirola for 33 years. This year has been tough for many, however, in an ex clusive interview with the EWN, Emma and Scott told us how they’re adapting to the new situation and continuing to keep their doors open. This seafront bar has been here for 33 years which is an incredible achievement in it self, but this wondercouple have not just established a familyfriendly bar, they have raised their own family here whilst doing it. Emma and Scott are pas sionate about what they do and family is at the forefront of their business and it shows. They’re so welcoming it’s no wonder people return each year.
EMMA AND SCOTT: Have been in business for 33 years. “We’ve not just watched our own children grow up here, we’ve watched our cus tomers’ children grow, and we’ve even seen some of their children have their own children,” Emma explained. “Unfortunately as we watch some people have ba bies we’ve also seen some pass away, but we’ve had a 92nd birthday party here this week for a longstanding cus tomer which was really so in credible,” Scott continues, “I
think the success of our bar has been due to us being familyfriendly. Whilst there is a need for sports bars, we are certainly not one of them, we have a great rela tionship with our neighbours and our customers because we put family and the chil dren first.” The couple are sad to have staff off work at the moment on ERTE and hope things pick up soon to welcome back their workforce, but for now, they’ve cut back hours and Emma is back in the kitchen, just like how they started out! Emma tells me how sorry she is to see so many people struggling who have not been here long, “not everyone is fortunate enough to have family here to support them,” Emma’s mum who is now 76 has been here giving a helping hand since the start.
Scoffers family bar is located at Paseo Marítimo Rey de España, 17, Fuengirola, the opening hours are still 10.00 - 16.00 Monday to Saturday and they’re rated number one on TripAdvisor for breakfast.

VAT added ALTHOUGH it has been forced to abandon many of its taxation targets due to the pandemic and lack of support, the Spanish government is pushing through the introduction of VAT on private health and education services.
Tax evasion AMERICAN anti-virus entrepreneur John McAfee has been arrested in Spain at the request of the US authorities who want him extradited to answer charges of tax evasion as they claim that he has not filed taxes for four years.
SME help THE Madrid Council has announced that in order to assist the small to medium enterprises in the city it will make €30 million available, but the maximum that any one organisation can claim is just €12,500.
Chinese high tech ORIGINALLY planning to launch its European business at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona which was an early casualty of the Coronavirus pandemic, Chinese technology giant Vivo is now ready for the market and currently has a small office in Madrid. Seeing the current fall from grace of competitor Huawei, it intends to confirm towards the end of October what products it intends to launch, but it is anticipated that it will concentrate on Smartphones priced up to €400 in Spain based on market research.
ALTHOUGH this has been going on for some time, UK newspapers have picked up on the fact the world’s second largest re tailer, American brand Costco is now selling gold and silver bullion through its UK outlets. It is not as if you can wander through their warehouse picking up much valued toilet rolls and then stopping for a one kilo gold bar priced at around £24,500 (€27,000) but there is plenty of choice from around 50 grammes to a kilo.

They also offer silver at more than 25 per cent over spot but if delivery is taken within the UK then VAT is payable, so effec tively you could be paying 45 per cent over spot and there would have to be a lot of upwards movement to make that worthwhile.
Bounce Back Scheme
Is fire alarm obligatory? I live in an 11storey block of 44 apartments and two penthouses on the Costa del Sol. The building is over 40 years old. There is no fire escape and there are no fire alarms. There are fire extinguishers on alternate floors. Fire engines can not access the rear of the building. The Administra tion state there is no legal requirement for either fire alarms or a fire escape. Can this be true?
Bounce Back Scheme still runs until end of November. Credit: Chancellor Rishi Sunak Twitter
M G (Costa del Sol) Yes, it is true. In YOU AND THE LAW buildings put up IN SPAIN before 2006 there was very little le gal requirement in national law regarding fire safety. Even if your own municipality has some stricter regulations in place, but no building inspector has called on you to enforce them, you are not legally obligated. More modern buildings are designed for hallways and staircases to block direct airflow that feeds fires, but even they are not required to have alarm sys tems or fire escapes. If you wish to discuss this at the AGM, you might want to consider individual smoke alarms in each flat which is a solution favoured by many large buildings.

A NEW month and a new Chief Execu tive, as Ken Murphy takes over the helm at Tesco, Britain’s largest super market chain with a promise to keep everything on track with the policy initiated by former boss Dave Lewis. It was only a few years ago that Tesco hit the headlines for the wrong reason as three of its senior staff were accused of false accounting, but having shaken off that problem, it
ALTHOUGH it was initially be lieved that criminals might em bezzle up to £1.9 billion (€2.1 billion) from the Government Bounce Back Scheme, the UK National Audit Office (NAO) has announced that it esti mates that the scale of loss could be as much as £26 billion (€28.6 billion). That is an incredible 60 per cent of the amount loaned and the main banks involved, Bar clays, HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest and Santander, which provided more than £30 bn (€33 bn) in funding will be protected and should between them earn more than £1 bn (€1.1 bn) in government paid interest. To summarise, the Bounce Back Loan Scheme provides registered and unregistered businesses with loans of up to
£50,000 (€55,000) or a maxi mum of 25 per cent of annual turnover, to maintain their fi nancial health during the pan demic. According to the NAO, once the government decided to support small businesses facing cash flow problems owing to the pandemic, it moved very quickly to set up a scheme. It prioritised one aspect of value for money payment speed over almost all others and has been prepared to tol erate a potentially very high level of losses as a result. The problem is that because of the speed in which it set up and the 1.2 million cases ap proved in record time, it didn’t really know who was legiti mate and who would be able to pay back loans received.
Social Security cost APPEARING before a Parlia mentary Committee, Minister of Inclusion and Social Security, José Luis Escrivá has confirmed that social security payments to Spanish residents impacted by Covid19 amount to almost €13 billion up to the end of September. The largest expense has been on ERTE (furlough) at €5.218 billion, followed by sup port for the selfemployed at €4.138 billion with €2.2 billion lost by the exemption granted from paying social security with a further €1.369 billion spent on those with temporary ill nesses or holiday. Overall, when taking into ac count loss of tax revenue the government is €22 billion out of pocket.
Free beverages RESTAURANT chains and fran chises have suffered badly with the Covid19 restrictions and the Restalia Group, which has brands such as 100 Mon taditos and La Sureña, has launched an unusual plan to help all of its franchisees af fected by restrictive measures. For those located in the most restricted areas, the group will supply one month of free beverages, either beer or soft drinks for the month of October based on average consumption. In addition, it will run ad verts encouraging visitors to the outlets even though num bers seated are low.
New Tesco boss had a change of direction and has been concentrating more on its core business. Recently it managed to reach agreement to sell its business in
Malaysia and Thailand for £8.2 billion (€9 billion) which will allow it to con solidate its finances and create a spe cial profit dividend for shareholders. Sales for the first half of the year
were up, but with the cost of Covid 19 protection and extra staff at more than £500 million (€550 million) prof its were down by 15 per cent com pared to last year.

Carry on Regardless CINEWORLD CLOSURES: Not a scene from Carry on Cowboy. THE news that the release of the new James Bond film No Time to Die - almost certainly Daniel C r a i g ’s l a s t a p p e a r ance as 007 – has been postponed again, this time from November until April 2021 may well have spelled the end for Cineworld which employs 45,000 in the UK and USA. There seems to be a complete dearth of blockbuster movies be ing released, in many cases be cause so many were postponed due to coronavirus, but without decent films to draw people into the cinema and the additional cost of reducing audiences and keeping them safe is simply caus ing problems all round. The fact that TV generally is
relying on repeats or old episodes of programmes filmed before the lockdown, coupled with the success of the espi onage film Tenet which was re leased in August suggests that there is an audience anxious to enjoy a night at the movies. The major distributors howev er want to ensure that they re ceive the maximum income from theatrical releases, espe cially in America, before letting them out for TV and then DVD screening, so there is very little new quality product available to view. In the UK, Cineworld employs 5,500 staff in 127 venues and it says that the closures are tempo rary and it is monitoring the situ ation so that once it has more in formation about planned releases it will in turn be able to consider when to reopen.
Natural Gas ORIGINALLY planned for April but postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchéz made his first trip to Algeria where he met with its President Abdelmadjid Tebounne in Algiers. Apart from discussions about migration and dealing with the pandemic, the Prime Minister was on a mission to try to find a way to reduce the price of natural gas supplied by Algeria to Spain. After dominating the market for 30 years, Algeria has seen an upsurge in Spanish imports from the USA and the Middle East.
In the meantime, Prime Min ister Boris Johnson has encour aged people to go to the cine ma and enjoy the movies that are on offer, although that may be difficult with the Cineworld closures.
BUSINESS EXTRA Money back ONLINE estate agent Aliseda which is owned by American investment company Blackstone and Santander is offering 8,400 flats for sale with a guarantee of a 10 per cent refund if the value of the property falls more than that amount in three months.
eBay IN a bid to stimulate growth, eBay in the UK will not make any charges to new sellers until they manage to sell 100 items a month and then new lower fees will be introduced on a sliding scale.
Tobin tax IN January 2021, the new Spanish Tobin tax will be put into place whereby the Treasury hopes to earn €850 million by charging 0.2 per cent on the purchase of shares from listed companies which are valued at more than €1 billion.

Use your common sense LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT HERE we go again. Some weeks ago I re ferred to Corona deniers as being akin to members of the Flat Earth Society. Well, despite the derision I took for that statement, my opinion hasn’t changed one iota. Do people truly believe that all the leaders of the free world, including the ‘Kranky’ person, have actually put all their heads together and conspired to cripple all their economies and throw their respective countries into chaos - merely to gain some kind or Orwellian hold over their citizens? Are you listening to yourselves? You sound utterly ridiculous. Our leaders may be making errors of judgement, some of their rules and regulations may appear to be over the top and ‘unfair,’ some of the ‘numbers’ may be incorrect, but they are doing their darndest to control and eliminate an unprecedented virus that is running riot and killing the population.
To achieve success, they are acting on the advice of the highest and most expert medical authorities in the land. What suddenly made all those social media posters experts in pandemics and how to deal with them? The minute we began to ease off and allow all the diddums’ to go for drinkie poos and ‘let their hair down’ the numbers began to rise again. It’s not a fallacy; the infection rate is now increasing at an alarming rate. The front line workers of the NHS are once again under extreme pressure to control and deal with the extra influx of patients. For those who insist it’s nothing more than a touch of the flu, new figures out today show that between January and August three times the amount of people died from the Coronavirus than died from Pneumonia and Influenza combined! The areas that are now finding themselves under the strict restrictions has nothing to do with north and south divides, it’s to do with numbers of people not complying with the rules and regulations they were asked to observe. The sooner people stop crying in their milk and voluntarily knuckle down and follow the rules, the quicker we will see
the end of this nightmare. Why should those who do comply be suffering because selfish numbers of the population decide they are being ‘hard done by’ and know better than the experts? We are all suffering in one way or another. No one is getting any preferential treatment. If the selfcentered minority would observe the rules, keep their toys in their prams and see a bit of sense, the government wouldn’t need to make and enforce new laws, which have to be implemented by extra police patrols and subsequent arrests. Make no mistake. Everyone wants this over. Even if you halve the published numbers you have to be totally moronic to deny the world is in the grip of a virus that, if not contained or eliminated, will continue to kill and incapacitate our citizens for well into the foreseeable future. Wear a mask. Wash your hands, observe social distancing and use your common sense. For all our sakes. Keep the faith Love Leapy leaplee2002@gmail.com expatradioscotland Mon. Wed. Fri.

Just a few conspiracy theories MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man UK cinemas are closing another sign of the economic catastrophe happening worldwide. The reason is that yet another studio has pulled another potential block buster, to be shown next year, instead of this year. So far the new James Bond and Mission Impossible are two of the the 30ish that have been put back. This is a disaster in so many ways. The spiral effect is going to be no cinemas, which means nowhere to show movies. This means no revenue to make the movies which plays right into the hands of Netflix, Prime and Apple. See the connec tion? They are all online companies and will now be in control. Of course the talent that appears in these movies will also be affected. At the moment movies aren’t even being made because of Covid. Maybe the conspiracy theorists aren’t too far off saying it’s all a plot. Talking about conspiracy theories, there are a serious amount about regarding Covid. Here’s a few to choose from 5G not sure how a virus travels via a mobile network. Bill Gates this is a Q Anon one.
You really need to check this scary mob out. It escaped from a Chinese lab slightly more plausible than some of the others. It was developed as a biological weapon in China. When China heard this they came back with their own theory that it was the USA that imported it into China. This one’s a biggy from the likes of David Icke and Alex Jones two absolute nutters as far as I’m concerned: Covid19 doesn’t actually exist, but is a plot by the globalist elite to take away our freedom. Early weaker versions of this theory were prevalent on the political right in the notion the novel coronavirus would be ‘no worse than flu’ and later versions are now influencing antilockdown protests across several states in the US. Because believers increasingly refuse to observe social dis tancing measures, they could directly help to spread the epidemic in their localities and increase the resulting death rate. This is their theory not mine. The point I’m making is nobody actually knows what’s going on but whatever it is it’s grinding the world to a halt and I’m fed up with it all. By the way didn’t Donald Trump recover the quickest anyone has ever recovered since the epidemic started? There’s a few conspiracy theories about that too!! Email: mikesenker@gmail.com

“A little party never killed nobody”
Marc, Penny and Jordan Quinlan
Steven & Michel Euesden
LET’S face it, 2020 has been a bust for everyone! So Amazonica at The Playwright transported us back in time to the roaring 1920s … and what a blast everyone had! On Tuesday, October 13, Amazonica at The Play wright hosted a wonderful 1920’s themed event that saw all the guests arrive in flamboyant era appropriate fashion. With the Playwright’s opulent and ambient dé cor framing this amazing night, all the fur, feath ers, silk scarves, boas and fascinators, immedi ately took everyone back in time. Women in flapper dresses with their partners in gangster dress was extremely reminiscent of a vivacious mix of the Great Gatsby. The vibrant experience of a 1920’s Speakeasy clearly visible. One of the earlier guests of the evening, Adam, said “We are so looking forward to the music and seeing everyone dressed up. With all the restrictions in place, it is great to be able to come to something like this and enjoy it with friends and a few drinks.” With lockdowns occurring throughout the world, Amazonica at The Playwright have found a unique and enjoyable way to engage an everfrustrated public into a joyous and wonderful event. They have taken a difficult situation for the public, and for hospitality alike, and made it into a thoroughly entertain ing and engaging experience for all. The night saw entertainment, dancing, music, food and sequins galore. Cindy and Louise, who have recently moved to Marbella and are opening a Spanish wide dating site, heard about the event through word of mouth while dining at the Harbour in Marbella. Cindy said, “The food here is unbelievable.” Louise echoed her sentiments, stating, “We had a soup made from Dover Sole and Salmon as an appetiser and it was absolutely gorgeous.” They were both thoroughly enjoying the at mosphere and looking forward specifically to “a little bit of dancing, fun,
meeting new people.” They both gushed that the event was thrilling and that it was so unique to the area. While the guests enjoyed the wonderful appe tisers, drinks and subsequent meal, jazz versions of modern songs were pumping through the speakers adding to the atmosphere, giving a true air of 1920’s ambience, coupled with Amazonica at The Playwright’s own twist. Margot Fuller, attending with friends and family said, “We follow the Playwright and, as it was a spe cial evening, we decided to come because we’d get to dress up and have fun … We are really looking forward to experiencing what Penny and Marc have done to the place.” Entertainment at the event was provided by singer, Tabitha, who belted and danced the night away with jazzstyled modern music accompanied by two beautiful show girls who took to the floor to entertain all the guests. Another guest, Joe, gushed, “It is always diffi cult to find good things to do locally. We’ve not been to the Playwright since it’s been done up and it is mindblowing.” The showgirls dressed in dazzling beads and sequined dripping bodices, looking like some thing directly out of Paris or Las Vegas, wore wonderful feather head dresses and really made the interactive night something truly special. Later in the evening, the guests were treated to a stunning jazz trumpet set before drinking and dancing the night away. The whole evening was a cracking success and goes to show that with a little inventive thinking and creative planning, the hospitality industry can not only survive, but flourish in these difficult times.

DONALD TRUMP’S unexpected Covid19 infection and hospitalisa tion should be the election wake up call the USA needs. For many, America has stopped being American for four years its citizens have been living under the shadow of a president who has more in common with Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin than Abraham Lincoln or Franklin Roosevelt. Hopefully, the USA a great country I lived in for many years will finally wake up to what is hap pening to its democracy and, sadly, to its morality. Things started going pearshaped way back in the Nixon days with the Watergate scandal which re moved a Republican president. Since then, there has been an al most deepseated desire to smear whoever is in office. Witness the attempts by the Re publicans to get the Clintons over the Whitewater controversy. That didn’t work so they widened the investigation to cover Clinton’s private life which ended up tearing down Monica Lewinski for her af fair with the president. On the other side, Republicans Ronald Reagan and George W Bush were both portrayed as not particu larly razorsmart by the mass media.
MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING IT is an honour for me to collaborate with the Linea Directa Foundation, a nonprofit institution founded in 2014 under the motto ‘For Road Safe ty. Here and now.’ I have worked in road traffic safety for over 20 years with the introduc tion of the seat belt adaptor for preg nant women. During those years I learnt so much about crash tests, crash dummies and the dummies that take to the roads inconsequen tially all the time. This organisation’s aim is to help build a society free of traffic acci dents, a menace that has cost the lives of some 80,000 people in Spain over the last 20 years. Using the in formation collected by the Linea Di recta insurance company since its creation in 1995 means they have a lot of data and many statistics to go on. Linea Directa however don’t just evaluate the data, they value the lives behind the numbers, the people with names and surnames whose families will never be the same again.

A TRUMPIAN TALE OF THE UNEXPECTED NORA JOHNSON BREAKING VIEWS Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson
But, arguably, things really start ed going pearshaped with the ‘Tea Party’ and other more extreme groups that tried to steer the elect ed administrations towards their worldview with street marches and demonstrations. (Much like the BLM movement today although that’s more extreme.) Until the parties in power whether Republican or Democrat stop governing by focus group rather than what is best for the country, this polarisation will in evitably continue. A rulesbased democracy can’t work effectively if there’s no moral framework to undergird it. The
greater the corruption, racism, ex ploitation etc, the harder it is for governments to govern. There is a saying that people get the governments they deserve. I suggest that we need to think about this in the UK, not just the USA. Finally, on a lighter note, a Scot tish newspaper’s report on Trump (‘Turnberry hotelier tests positive for coronavirus’) follows a publish ing tradition of pursuing the local angle. It could have added: ‘Local lad gets sick. Also runs America.’ Nora Johnson’s psychological crime thrillers ‘No Safe Place,’ ‘Be trayal,’ ‘The Girl in the Woods,’ ‘The Girl in the Red Dress,’ ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.nora johnson.net) available online as eBook (€0.99;£0.99), Apple Books, paperback and audiobook.

A zero Hero Foundation everyone, including administrations, foundations and citizens work to gether in collaboration and assume the responsibility to put an end to this blight altogether. The Linea Directa Foundation firm ly believes in the need and obligation to support social improvement pro jects that help build a better and safer world for us all. They couldn’t have been more supportive when we launched our #ZeroHero campaign, sponsoring the disposable breathaly sers and materials for the participat ing hotels, bars and restaurants. Together we can create awareness in a positive way by rewarding the designated driver with a free soft drink and bringing to mind the conse quences of driving when under the influence of alcohol; something all too frequent, particularly in a holiday city like ours. The Foundation was born with the aim of contributing to road safety by promoting safe driving practices in order to reduce and, ultimately, end traffic accidents. To achieve this am bitious goal, the Linea Directa Foun dation also carries out important
studies, research projects, work shops, courses and conferences, among other actions; always with the common denominator of road safety. Likewise, the Foundation promotes the organisation, participation and fi nancing of training, social, welfare, educational and teaching activities in this field, as well as the awarding of prizes that recognise the contribu tions made by individuals or institu tions in favour of the fight against traffic accidents. It was thanks to one of these initia tives that our Zero Hero incentive was awarded the social award in 2018, out of 40,000 other collabora tors quite an achievement! The Linea Directa Foundation’s mission is to build a better and safer society, in which there are no people who lose their lives in traffic acci dents. To do this, it develops differ ent initiatives through its four lines of action: Dissemination, Research, Training and Social Action. The main objective is to promote responsible driving habits, and the vision is to reach zero road casualties a real #ZeroHero.

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Are you in the mood for some retail therapy? There are bargains to be had this week. The trend also extends to your personal life where it is possible to negotiate much more easily with a loved one. Suggestions for a busy weekend may be resisted owing to overload. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) The more sensitive side of your nature comes to the fore this week. You are likely to find yourself upset but, by looking on the bright side and keeping your sense of humour, brings a balanced view. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) This is a time to keep your mind sharp, so get plenty of sleep and exercise for sure. Legal matters may be paramount and need specialist advice. So long as you are doing your best in a certain situation, no more can be expected of you. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) This is a time of the year when new starts and fresh ideas come to you, which is excellent news for those who are looking forward to changes. The weekend brings you courage and determination and you feel confident enough to speak plainly with people. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Something said to you in confidence should be respected this week. Should the beans be spilled, it will not be you who is feeling guilty. The need to help someone with legal forms or some other complicated matter will be much appreciated. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) A slow start to the week sees you full of beans come Wednesday. What is the cause of this change of attitude? Something you worked on last week shows signs of progress just when you thought it wouldn't. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It is now that you may realise how right you were to keep something in reserve. Certainly, so far as a relationship is concerned, holding back has proved its worth.
Financially, you are entering a period of frugality, but this is more for your own satisfaction than because of any money worries. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Getting more sleep and fresh air last week may show dividends now. The results are a brighter mind and more willingness to be social. Young people will be particularly helpful and fun to be with. Asking for their help makes them feel important in your life and will also bring you great pleasure. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Keep a wide circle of friends and constantly seek to add to them. With such an active mind as yours, boredom is agitating and nonproductive. Autumn gives you the ideal opportunity to visit others and get out in the open. Both your health and finances gain from a day somewhere new as an inspired idea comes to you. An invitation you are tempted to refuse should be accepted if possible.
HEXAGRAM
The purpose of the Hexagram puzzle is to place the 19 six-letter words into the 19 cells. The letters at the edges of interlocking cells MUST BE THE SAME. The letters in the words must be written CLOCKWISE. The word in cell 10 (CREDIT) and one letter in four other cells are given as clues.
ABLATE ABORTS ABRUPT BEATEN CELLAR COARSE CREDIT (10) DEARTH HEROIC HOLLER INTONE LEGEND LETTER MOTLEY RANCHO RECALL SHAKEN STREAK TANGLE
LOTTERY
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) News of someone close brings finances into your mind. Perhaps some juggling is needed to keep the balance. There is more than one way to conserve both energy and money, which will give you a head start. Getting involved with a charity, even on a small scale, can bring immense satisfaction and costs nothing. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A shopping trip with a friend makes you realise that there is more to them than meets the eye. Should you have underestimated them, encourage them to open up. Something you hear this week will be of immense value to you in the future. Decorating and changes at home make a big difference to your life and perks you up.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Someone new to your circle of friends brings humour and a new lease of life, socially. When something outside your comfort zone is suggested, then be sure that it is not just faint heart that is stopping you. There is nothing wrong with saying ‘no,’ unless there is heartache in doing so and then wishing that you had not.

It’s Time To Let Go Of What Is Not Serving You
impossible to actual ly understand what it is you want in life. You may feel fear for being different to what is called ‘the norm.’ Your circle may not under stand nor like your growth, therefore, you resort to go ing back to the old you, just to ‘fit in.’ You were not born to ‘fit in!’ You were born to experience your own unique life, to experience different things, and to be your own person. So please, don’t dim your own light to brighten anoth
er. Don’t dim your light to please. Wear your light with pride and if it’s too bright for some, let them go! Fear is the only thing that holds you back from living the life you truly desire and I am here to teach you how! Here are five steps that will help you to let go of what is no longer serving you, and guide you to live the amazing life you truly de serve. End Result Create a clear mental im age of what life you want to live. What does it look like? What can you smell? What can you see? How does it make you feel? The more de tail you give the picture, the more realistic it will feel. Action List What steps do you need to take to achieve your end re
sult? Write each action clearly. Be specific with ex actly what needs to be done. Always have your end result in your mind when creating these actions. Timeline and Deadlines Create realistic timelines and deadlines to complete each action. Understand your own strengths, get to know yourself inside and out. Make it fun! A small re ward after each action is completed will help motiva tion. Again, keep the end goal, clearly in your mind. Your Why Many people try to achieve new things. Whether it be to lose weight, reinvent their image or even try a new business. But what most do not do is ask them selves why they are doing it. If you are not passionate about why you want to
achieve your end goal, I can guarantee you will NOT see it through to the end. There will always be some thing else that comes up to take you away from what you are trying to achieve. Take Responsibility The life you have today is because of you. This is a hard pill to swallow for some, but it is the truth. Whether you have had bad experiences in your past, you are the one that has al lowed it to create the way you are today. The sooner you take re sponsibility, the quicker you will be able to let go. This is your life, This is your dream. This is your goal, therefore, it is your responsibility to com plete all of the above. DO NOT DREAM YOUR LIFE. LIVE YOUR DREAM!

MS BIPOLAR
Life as a Bipolar Mama
UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED THE ups and downs of parenthood alone is enough to make anyone feel ‘barmy’ let alone juggling parenthood and a mental illness and all that comes with it. My to-do list is never ending: school run, go to work, make sure I remember to send my daughter in with an extra pair of socks for her gymnastics after school activity (I forgot to this week - major mum guilt), food shop, deal with the dog and the cat, a bit of light dusting and sweep up the clumps of dog hair that seem to form no matter how many times I sweep, get dinner on, help with homework, make sure school bag is packed for the next day, showertime and bedtime. That sums up pretty much every regular Mama’s day, now throw into the mix : a panic attack because I’m three minutes late leaving the house even though I have allowed for this to go horribly wrong because I always plan for worse case scenario, yet I can’t control the overwhelming feeling and I’m now trying to hold
back the tears until I at least drop my daughter at school just so she doesn’t see. Go to work - it’s been a great day, had a sale and met some lovely people, I’m happy, birds are chirping and skipping on my way home. Get home and the big black cloud comes over me, I had planned on cooking a tasty lasagne but I’m too tired and just want the day to be over, I can’t cope with anything else today. I just want it to be dark enough to be able to go to bed, I get into bed and all of a sudden, I’m in floods of tears and I don’t know why. Crazy right!? But it was a good day, wasn’t it?! And this is the thing, I have no control over these feelings and thoughts. Being a bipolar single mama has its challenges like any parent I lose the plot sometimes. I do find it easier now to hold my hands up and admit when I need help. When I am a bit stressed, and thankfully my wobbles are small these days on the whole, I have a great support network, and so
does my daughter. I am so thankful for the amazing relationship with my daughter and the older she gets, the more she understands and the easier I am finding it to explain everything to her. Mama doesn’t want to cry but sometimes she has to, to let it all out and start again. Some days
15 - 21 October 2020 we can go to the park and eat ice cream, some days Mama needs to simply go home, sit there and breathe. When we can, we can; when we can’t, we can’t. I’d love to hear how you manage parenthood and your mental illness. Don’t forget you can email me or follow me on FB @mswillowbipolar msbipolar@euroweeklynews.com

Support your local theatre ON June 14, 1985 the Salón Va rietés Theatre in Fuengirola opened its doors with a perfor mance by Acker Bilk and his Jazz Band and ever since they’ve been entertaining the local community with musicals, plays, revues, pantomimes, Old Time Music Halls and much, much more. The vision for the theatre was always simple, to provide a safe place for families to come and enjoy great entertainment and a topshelf experience. Fast forward to 2020, the the

atre’s 35th anniversary, and we find ourselves in the midst of the Covid19 pandemic. The Salón Varietés along with so many oth er venues was forced into lock down, cutting off its revenue stream and leaving it facing an uncertain future. Run as a not for profit associa tion, it’s a labour of love for everyone involved and they weren’t prepared to simply close the curtains for the final time. Working with Health and Safety consultants and the Junta de Andalucía, they’ve introduced a number of changes to ensure this wonderful venue is Covid safe. The theatre reopens this month with a new season of safe, first class entertainment, al
beit with a re duced capacity to support social distancing. Now is the time that they need our support more than ever. The funding for the theatre comes purely from bums on seats, without which, this cherished organisa tion won’t survive. Next up is the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical EVITA which opened on Wednesday October 14 and runs through to Sunday October 25. This fully costumed and choreographed show tells the compelling story of the iconic Eva Perón, played by the stun ning Gemma Lloyd. Evita is followed by the ‘Two
Legends, One Stage’ Freddie Mercury and Cher tribute on Fri day 30 and Saturday October 31. November sees the Salón Va rietés Benefit Festival which runs from Wednesday November 11 to Sunday November 15 featur ing the Costa del Sol’s most pop ular performers who are all do nating their time for free to support the venue.

This week Celebrity Chef and proprietor of the award-winning Little Geranium in La Cala de Mijas makes Master Chef style healthy Salmon Wellington!
Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas www.thelittlegeranium.com ON the foodie calendar Oc tober is not a great month for much really. It’s a bit too early for all those love ly root vegetables and win ter fruits and a bit late for the beautiful soft summer fruits and vegetables. With the fantastic weather we have been having here, it’s no wonder that we are not quite ready for the slow cooked stewy dishes just yet and so I cooked salmon wellington for some friends at the restaurant last week and they were totally blown away by it! I said “well it’s just a salmon wellington” and they replied “OMG the flavours, the textures are simply amazing.” Simple, it is really, it’s an easy dish to make and a nice change to meat and not as expen sive if you buy the right
Wild about Salmon!
MASTER CHEF AMERICA: Steven, as a young chef.
salmon. So, what is the right salmon? Salmon varies in quality depending on where it is from and how it is farmed. The season for wild salmon is always May t o a b o u t t h e e n d o f S e p tember and so you won’t find it in October. However, that’s one of the reasons I choose to write about it, because whilst wild salmon is off the menu (and is absolute ly fantastic) it is also very expensive, like twice the price. So now the only salmon available is farmed and as long as it is farmed with some love and care it won’t have the toxins or high levels of mercury that cheap farmed salmon has. I buy mine from a spe cialist supplier in Asturias (northern Spain) and it is superb, however the biggest producer in the world for farmed salmon is Norway. The quality is good and the price is usual
ly fair as they have taken the lead in the market. It s h o u l d s a y Fa r m R a i s e d Salmon from Norway, this is what to look for. Ask where the salmon is from and if it doesn’t say, it does matter. Certain parts of the world for example are pro ducing cheaper farmed salmon but it’s riddled with chemicals which is in its feed and therefore high in toxins and mercury which is unhealthy. The big producers like the Norwegians have all their ducks (or rather salmons!) in a row, they have some impeccable farming methods and offer quality assurance. Salmon is a super food because of the high levels of Omega 3 which is a healthy and essential fat, necessary for cardiovascu lar health. My friends had flown over from the UK specially and I asked about quaran
tine. “Lol” they said, “the UK is in such a muddle they can’t possibly police it and s o w e a r e n o t a t a l l c o n cerned.” Hence, they are remaining nameless! In total contrast to that, my oldest daughter Serena is in Australia and just came out of a twoweek q u a r a n t i n e i n a g o v e r n ment owned hotel which she describes as similar to a prison, albeit she has never been in a prison! “Dad, the food” she says, “comes in a polythene bag dumped outside your room as we are not allowed out of the room.” After two weeks and umpteen Covid tests she has just been re leased. “Dad” she said, “I have been watching your food posts on Facebook and In stagram, the food is amaz ing, we need a chef here in Australia!” “Babes,” I said, “there are chefs in Aus tralia but possibly not at the hotel you stayed in!”

Master Chef Steven’s Simple Salmon Wellington (Serves four) 1 kilo (Approx 2 lbs) of good quality salmon skinless and boneless. Approx 300g of ready made puff pastry (I make my own, but the ready made is far quicker and easier, buy the type that uses butter) 500g of brown cap or porto bello mushrooms 3 large cloves of garlic peeled and sliced 1 white onion peeled and sliced 4 leaves of fresh basil 1 lemon and 1 lime seasoning Olive oil 2 egg yolks mixed together in a small dish Method Firstly, make the mushroom
duxelle which is like a mush room pate. Wash then slice the mush rooms and heat a pan on a high heat. Fry the mushrooms in a little olive oil and add the sliced onions and garlic. Cook until a dark brown colour but not burned! Now blend in your food processor, pulsing is better as you still want some lumps (e.g. not totally smooth) Reserve in fridge for later. Now cut the salmon into four small even portions about 200g each and seal in a hot pan on both sides in a little olive oil but only seal, (eg 15 seconds each side). Squeeze the fresh lemon and lime juice over each salmon fillet.
Roll out the pastry and cut in to approx 14 cm squares and place the salmon in the cen tre of each square. Top each piece of salmon with a generous coating of the duxelle and finish with a leaf of basil. Fold the pastry up over the salmon covering it entirely. Then twist any excess pastry at the bottom of each piece and remove some of the flack so that you don’t have thick pastry at the bottom. Keep them in a fridge until re quired. To cook the salmon Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Brush the salmon welling tons all over with the egg yolk mix and line a baking
tray with baking paper or just use a little olive oil on a baking tray to avoid them sticking. Bake in the oven until the pastry is golden brown, usual ly eight minutes. Remove and crisp the underneath of each wellington in a hot frying pan to seal the bases. Be careful not to burn. Serve with a truffle sauce, a simple version is made using thick cream reduced and then add truffle pieces (in most su permarkets) and some truffle oil and seasoning, or a simple mushroom sauce. Enjoy simple salmon welling ton with Chef Steven’s Mas ter Chef expertise in your own home!

Note down Ruby’s routine the housesitter will need to under stand this routine. 2. Ensure the regular visits to the vet are calendarised Ruby has a monthly check up on her rheumatism.

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.

tight schedule and no alterna tive venue available it was de cided to abandon the final al together. This was met with great dis appointment all round, partic ularly by Aston Viñuela who hoped to be the first to have the honour of winning the first major Cup Final in the south of Spain. They will be presented with the Cup on Saturday at the BAHA Tournament having agreed to accept the trophy having been unbeaten in the qualifying rounds. WFS A had already suffered
disappointment when Covid totally disrupted the League fixtures earlier this year caus ing the League to be aban doned at the half way stage with WFS A leading the league at the time. Despite the disappoint ments the clubs are already looking towards the new sea son, which all being well and dependent on Covid at that time, will start in January.
