EDITORIAL Bien, otra vez es hora de sacar papel y lápiz, o mejor dicho dedos sobre teclado e introducir la edición de este mes de nuestro periódico The Resident.

A la salida de esta edición comienza el mes de Agosto, es un mes que básicamente la mayoría de España emigra hacia la playa más próxima a pesar de que la mayoría de las playas están plagada de medusas que impide el total disfrute de nuestra bellísima costa. Asegúrese que presta atención a las banderas de precaución, para aquellas personas que no lo sepan todavía, diré que la bandera roja indica su prohibición al baño. Otro consejo es llevar junto con la crema solar y las toallas una botellita de vinagre, para cuando nos piquen las medusas.

Fuentes médicas aconsejan que si has sido picado por una medusa, no se debería restregar la zona afectada ni tampoco lavar la zona con agua fresca. Una pequeña mezcla de agua con vinagre contrarresta el veneno alcalino de la medusa y proporciona un alivio instantáneo. Hablando de remedios instantáneos, un viejo mito es el de orinar sobre la picadura, ésto es sólo un “viejo mito”, nada más, sin ninguna eficacia.

Otro aspecto de los veranos en la costa es el aumento de robos y tirones a bolsos. La mejor manera de no convertirse en víctima es tener siempre a la vista sus pertenencias como bolsos y demás, y no dejar bolsos debajo de sillas en bares y restaurantes. Tened precaución de personas sospechosas preguntando por direcciones, etc. porque son técnicas de distracción frecuentemente utilizadas.

Algunos aparcamientos de supermercados son puntos estratégicos para estos malhechores, así pues, preste especial atención.

Bien, dejemos a parte la nota seria.

Este mes tenemos un gran número de Ferias anuales, incluido Manilva, San Roque y Casares, al igual que la ya mundialmente famosa Feria de Málaga, que tiene lugar del 11 al 19 de Agosto. Para más información de estas ferias visite nuestra página web www.theresident.eu y nuestra página en Facebook /TheResident.Spain. ¡Eso es todo amigos! Me voy a la playa.

Well it’s that time again, time to put pen to paper, or should I say fingers to keyboard and introduce this month’s issue of The Resident.

As the paper comes out we are entering the month of August, a month when basically most of Spain decamps to the nearest beach.

This year though conditions have conspired to create occasional swarms of jellyfish which have disrupted people’s enjoyment of the coastal waters. Make sure you take note of the warning flags, a red flag indicating that you shouldn’t enter the water, another tip is to pack a bottle of vinegar in with the sun cream and towels. Medical sources advise that if you are stung by a jellyfish you should avoid rubbing the area, nor should you wash the sting with fresh water. A liberal dousing with vinegar counteracts the alkaline-based poison and provides almost instant relief. Talking of instant relief, the old wives tale that you should urinate on the sting is just that, an old wives tale. Apart from maybe satisfying some strange fantasy that you may have it will not counter the effects of jellyfish sting at all.

Another aspect of summers on the

coast are the rise in petty criminals that descend on the area in search of easy pickings. The best way to avoid becoming a victim is to just keep an eye on your valuables and don’t leave handbags on the back of or underneath bar and restaurant chairs. Watch out for people apparently asking for directions, etc., distraction techniques are a favourite of these lowlifes.

Some supermarket car parks are a favourite hunting ground, so just pay attention to what’s going on around you. On a positive note violent crime is fairly uncommon, but it can still be distressing to be the victim of crime of any kind.

OK, that’s the serious stuff out of the way. This month sees a number of annual fairs, including Manilva, San Roque, and Casares, as well as Málaga’s world famous Feria which runs from 11 to 19 August. For more information on these ferias visit our website www.theresident.eu and our Facebook page /TheResident.

Spain.

That’s all for this month folks, I’m off to the beach.

El Ayuntamiento entregará más de 3600 kilos de alimentos

La ayuda viene canalizada a través del banco de Alimentos de Excedentes y la Cruz Roja provincial y el reparto de alimentos a las personas necesitadas en el municipio se realizará a través de Protección Civil, previo informe de departamento de Bienestar Social.

En este primer envío se van a repartir unos 3625 kilos de alimentos o no perecederos o de relativa caducidad, en concreto, galletas, pasta y leche.

Los vecinos que quieran acceder a estos alimentos deben acudir al departamento de bienestar social, donde el personal municipal realizará una valoración de sus necesidades, y con ese documento se le haría entrega de los alimentos en Protección Civil.

La partida municipal para emergencia social se ha incrementado este año un 50%, y en 2013 las partidas de servicios sociales no van a sufrir ningún recorte”.

Los voluntarios de Protección Civil se desplazan a las distintas barriadas para llevar los alimentos, y evitar así que los más necesitados tengan que desplazarse hasta el casco de San Roque para recoger estos alimentos.

El pasado mes de abril, la delegación de Bienestar Social solicitó acogerse al Plan de Ayuda alimentaria a las personas más necesitadas de la Unión Europea, recibiéndose hace unos días la comunicación de que San Roque formaba parte de este Plan.

The Town Hall will deliver more than 3600 kilos of food The aid is channeled through the Surplus Food Bank and the provincial Red Cross, with the food being distributed to needy people in the municipality through Protección Civil, according to the Social Welfare Department.

The first shipment will contain 3625 kilos of non-perishable food or food with a distant expiry date, namely, biscuits, pasta and milk.

Residents who want access to these foods should go to the department of social welfare, where city staff will conduct a needs assessment, with the document

allowing them to receive food in Civil Protection.

At the request of the municipalities in the neighborhood, the Civil Defence volunteers move to different neighborhoods to deliver food, preventing the need to travel to the town of San Roque to pick up these foods.

Last April, the department of social welfare requested a part in the food aid plan for the neediest people of the European Union, receiving news a few days ago that San Roque is now part of this Plan.

La Cañada exhibition of photographs by Antonio Cañete This is a set of 28 photographs, 14 printed on fabric and as many framed in glass, with a wide range of topics, mainly landscapes.

Highlights include shots taken at the Rock of Gibraltar, nature or London as well as pictures of animals.

Antonio Cañete Gil was born in La Linea de la Concepcion in 1960. His journey through the world of photography began in 1998, although from childhood he showed a great interest in art and culture, including music and painting.

Antonio studied and perfected his technique as a self-taught artist, without any professional help and learning from his own mistakes.

He worked so hard to perfect his pieces that he now dominates large publishing and imaging programmes. That is why he has been teaching the residents of La Linea for two years, demonstrating his interest in expanding all the knowledge he has acquired over the years.

Inaugurada en La Cañada una exposición de fotografías de Antonio Cañete Se trata de un conjunto de 28 fotografías, 14 impresas en un formato en tela y otras tantas enmarcadas en cristal, con una amplia temática, fundamentalmente paisajes. Destacan las tomas realizadas al Peñón de Gibraltar, de naturaleza o de Londres, así como imágenes de animales.

Antonio Cañete Gil nació en La Línea de la Concepción en 1960. Su andadura por el mundo de la fotografía comienza en 1998, aunque ya desde pequeño demostró un gran interés por el arte y la cultura, en concreto la música y la

pintura.

Antonio estudia y perfecciona su técnica de una forma autodidacta, sin ayuda profesional alguna y aprendiendo de sus propios errores.

Fue tanto su empeño por perfeccionarse, que en la actualidad domina grandes programas de edición y realización de imágenes. Es por ello que lleva dos años impartiendo clases a los vecinos de La Línea, demostrando su interés por expandir todos los conocimientos que ha ido adquiriendo a través de los años.

Manilva Solicitors

PART OF THE MARBELLA SOLICITORS SLP GROUP

MANILVA SOLICITORS is part of MARBELLA SOLICITORS, SLP who have made a name for themselves by offering legal, fiscal and accountancy services to foreign residents and non-residents in Spain at very competitive rates whilst still maintaining a personal and professional service.

Having opened their first office in Marbella 11 years ago, thanks to word of mouth recommendations, they have been able to expand, and have opened their own new offices in Malaga, Madrid, Nerja and Manilva, and will soon be opening a new office in, Calahonda, Mijas Costa.

Thus they are able to provide a local service in each area, with easy access for their existing and future clients avoiding the necessity to travel great distances. Their faithful 1,200 plus clients are proof of their reasonable prices and excellent results.

For example the price for doing a Spanish Will is only 150 euro all inclusive, (i.e. including Notary fees, 18% V.A.T., and our fees). So if you own a property or have assets in Spain, (e.g. bank accounts), then, it would be advisable to arrange an appointment to discuss your wishes and make your Spanish Will.

A Will can give you peace of mind, knowing that your wishes will be carried out for your heirs. To have a Will translated and then to get the apostle required by Spanish law, can be expensive and time consuming when done in the country of origin, so making a Will here in Spain avoids unnecessary expenses and time for your heirs too. The Will is in Spanish and English, so there’s no problem understanding it.

Marbella Solicitors Group’s aim is to encourage people to use the services of a lawyer, whatever their problem, and to prove that this doesn’t have to be expensive.

In fact, they offer free internet and phone consultations, and the first meeting with their professional, English-speaking lawyer is always free of charge with no obligation.

They will give you a quote for the work required and, apart from any expenses that may need to be paid.

They have five senior lawyers, one in each of their offices, who can be contacted at any time via e-mail and will guarantee an answer within 24 hours. Their clients can talk to senior partners directly by phone, and not to secretaries.

They are duly registered with the Bar Association, and have a Civil Liability Policy of up to 500,000 euro in unlikely event of professional error.

Marbella Solicitors Group provides services to individual clients as well as companies, and no problem is too small. They are now able to offer extended services to give their clients a complete one-stop global service with a professional Accountant, Labour Advisor, and an Architect available to cover any financial, labour or planning requirements.

They also have a litigation department and although they work mainly in Malaga province and Andalucia, they have clients throughout Spain. Clients are free to choose which office they would like to visit and merely have to ask for an appointment at least 24 hours in advance.

To arrange an appointment at the office nearest you, contact Marbella Solicitors Group on 952 901 225, via e-mail on mail@ marbellasolicitors.com or visit their website, www.marbellasolicitors.com.

II Festival of the Full Moon This Friday, August 3, Manilva stages the second edition of its Festival of the Full Moon, which celebrates the August full moon which will be welcomed with a variety of events and activities.

Inspired by Thailand’s Koh Pha Ngan Full Moon Party, this event was first held last year when some 3,000 visitors enjoyed an evening of music and relaxation on the beach in Sabinillas, and this year that figure is expected to double.

From 8.30 pm the festival begins, with participants invited to dress in white.

The lights on the paseo de maritimo will be dimmed to allow the full splendour of the moonrise to be appreciated with the beach then lit by hundreds of candles and torches. Visitors will be entertained with chill out music, jugglers and acrobats as well as the release of hundreds of chinese sky lanterns which will light up sky.

El ayuntamiento habilita 90 plazas de aparcamiento en El Puerto Hace unos meses se firmó en el notario de Manilva la escritura mediante la que se adquiría por interés público un total de 90 plazas de aparcamiento en el edificio Mikonos, ubicado en el puerto de La Duquesa, tasadas en 765.000 €.

Toda la tramitación, según explica la alcaldesa, se ha efectuado siguiendo lo establecido en el artículo 32 c) de la Ley de Contratos del Sector Público y ha contado con todos los informes y peritaciones que establece la ley.

Para la forma de pago de esta adquisición por parte del Ayuntamiento se ha decidido el abono mediante la compensación de deudas existentes por parte del promotor propietario de esos aparcamientos vencidas, líquidas y exigibles, correspondiente a impuestos y tasas municipales no abonadas.

Las plazas de aparcamiento podrán tener varios destinos aunque de momento se van a usar para la explotación pública, lo cual revitalizará el comercio y las empresas del puerto de La Duquesa.

The Town Hall make 90 parking spaces available in Duquesa Port A few months ago a deal was signed in which a total of 90 parking spaces in the Mykonos building, Duquesa Port, were acquired for a sum of € 765,000.

The entire process was carried out in accordance with article 32 c) of the Act on public sector contracts and all reports and surveys necessary by law have been

provided.

The Town Hall has offset existing debts in municipal taxes and fees owed by the developer to pay for the parking spaces.

The parking spaces have several possible uses, but for now they will be made into public parking, boosting business in the port.

El Ayuntamiento debe devolver otros 240.000 euros a la Junta de Andalucía El concejal del área Económica, Manuel Aguilar, ha anunciado que el Ayuntamiento de Estepona tendrá que devolver 239.887 euros a la Junta de Andalucía por el uso indebido que el anterior equipo de gobierno hizo de otras tres subvenciones.

En concreto, se trata de una subvención de 158.374 euros que la Consejería de Turismo y Comercio concedió en septiembre de 2009 para la adquisición de equipamiento de playas, otra de 49.513 euros concedida por la Consejería de Igualdad y Bienestar Social en diciembre de 2010 para el programa de atención al inmigrante y una tercera de 32.000 euros otorgada también por la Consejería de Igualdad y Bienestar Social en octubre de 2010 para el programa ‘Ciudades ante las Drogas’.

A esto hay que sumarle los intereses de demora con los que la Junta de Andalucía penaliza el “uso indebido” de las subvenciones concedidas, y que en el caso de Estepona, han supuesto más de 200.000 euros al Ayuntamiento.

Por otra parte, el representante municipal ha vuelto a solicitar a la administración autonómica que abone los más de 1,5 millones de euros que le adeuda al Ayuntamiento de Estepona por subvenciones que fueron concedidas pero no ingresadas a las arcas municipales. Entre esas cantidades se encuentran los 433.000 euros que le correspondían a la ciudad por el Plan Proteja 2010, según ha recordado Aguilar.

The Town Hall must return another 240,000 euros to the Junta de Andalucía Councillor, Manuel Aguilar, announced that the Estepona Town Hall must return 239,887 euros to the Junta de Andalucía because of the previous government team’s misuse of ​​three other grants.

Specifically, an amount of 158,374 euros from the Ministry of Tourism and Commerce was granted in September 2009 for the purchase of equipment for beaches, another 49,513 euros granted by the Department of Equality and Social Welfare in December 2010 for the immigrant care program and a third also awarded by the same department, 32,000 euros in October 2010 for the ‘Cities against Drugs’ programme.

government over 2.5 million in claims over the past year.

Added to this is the default interest with which the Junta de Andalucía penalizes the misuse of grants, which has cost the city of Estepona more than 200,000 euros.

The mayor has again asked the regional administration to pay more than 1.5 million owed ​​to the Town Hall of Estepona in grants that were awarded but never arrived in the municipal coffers. These amounts include the 433,000 euros awarded to the city by Plan Proteja in 2010.

El Ayuntamiento contrata un barco que limpiará de medusas el litoral de Estepona hasta finales de verano para pescar a este tipo de invertebrados y trasladarlos a un contenedor que estará depositado en el Puerto Deportivo.

La plaga que tuvo lugar el pasado fin de semana se debe a la alta concentración de salinidad de las aguas debido a la falta de lluvias durante todo el año que ha reducido el caudal de los ríos que dulcifican la costa. A eso hay que sumarle las altas temperaturas de las últimas semanas y la ausencia en el mediterráneo de tortugas, que son el depredador natural de las medusas.

They will remove the jellyfish to a container in the Marina.

The swarm that took place recently was due to the high concentration of salinity from lack of rain throughout the year which has reduced the flow of the rivers on the coast. The high temperatures of recent weeks and the absence of turtles in the Mediterranean, the natural predators of jellyfish, add to the problem.

La quiropráctica es la rama de las ciencias de la salud que estudia los problemas biomecánicos , estructurales, especialmente los de la columna, sus efectos sobre el sistema nervioso, y su repercusión en la salud.

Fue descubierta por el Doctor David Palmer en 1995 en Davenport, Iowa, EEUU, al ajustar una vértebra desplazada que producía una interferencia nerviosa resultando en sordera. Actualmente la quiropráctica ocupa el segundo lugar entre las tres ramas sanitarias más importantes en el citado país con más de cincuenta mil doctores en quiropráctica. ¿Qué trata la quiropráctica?

La quiropráctica actúa sobre la persona entendiendo a ésta como un todo global. De forma concreta tiene una alta eficacia sobre la hernia de disco, dolor cervical, dolor de cabeza, mareos, dolor lumbar, escoliosis, etc.

¿Qué hace un quiropráctico?

El quiropráctico realiza un examen ortopédico-neurológico y palpatorio y otras pruebas específicas quiroprácticas.

Esto se complementa con radiografías específicas o resonancias magnéticas cuando sean necesarias, para decidir el tratamiento a seguir. El tratamiento principal consiste en ajustes específicos de las vértebras y las articulaciones. El término ajuste en quiropráctica significa la manipulación de aquellas vértebras o articulaciones del cuerpo que están bloqueadas o sub-luxadas. El ajuste generalmente se hace con las manos en una camilla de diseño especial usando técnicas muy precisas.

Costa Advice Bureau SPAIN, IS EVERYDAY LIVING BECOMING MORE EXPENSIVE? Reduce the Cost of Your Electricity Consumption For some time now, with the freeing up of the market, options have become available for substituting your electricity provider with one of the competitors. Now that we have had some time to examine results, you may consider making the changeover.

News is now filtering through with some encouraging reports from consumers, who have decided to take advantage of these services. One company in particular, has taken into account the difficulties and communication problems that the expatriate communities have experienced with the main supplier. Therefore this company is offering to communicate and send your bills to you in English. In addition to this they are offering a discount on prices.

many residents have not completed their annual tax declarations. If, you have only just carried out this obligation submitting your tax for 2011, then you will more than likely be charged for your prescriptions. It appears that the government is assessing you on the results of the 2010 declarations.

We are hoping for a change when the taxes completed before the third of July of this year is accepted into the system.

Retired residents will now have to become fiscal residents to avail of the prescription reductions. This should not alarm anyone on average pensions. Most pensioners who receive their pensions from one source and earn under twenty two thousand euro a year will most probably not even have to go to the expense of submitting an annual tax form but must become a bona fide tax resident.

Are you Paying too Much in Taxes?

If you have bought a property, paid your taxes, and then received a complimentary tax bill, you might be able to reclaim the amount of the surcharge.

You may well have been paying your various taxes such as your IBI (rates) transmission taxes, annual taxes on your property or your earnings, wealth tax, capital gains tax on the sale of your property or inheritance taxes. You may wish to have a revision of these and see if you are paying in excess of your dues.

Resident Status and Changes All members from the European community who wish to become residents in Spain will find that just over two weeks ago the law relating to application for your resident card has changed. You will now need the usual documentation plus, proof of an appropriate income to support you and your family, or a work contract and proof of medical cover.

There will be a lot of expatriates who are living here more here and have not done so should with anyone who is either autonomy or employed should consider taking out residency immediately. This is imperative if your family are not as yet covered by the social security system for health care.

There have been numerous expatriates pensioners who have contacted me to state that even though they have their tarjeta sanitaria (health card) and full rights to healthcare in Spain. They are finding that though previously, they had received all medication at either a minimal price or were entitled to free medicines, they are discovering that they are now being charged for essential medication. The reason for this may be due to the fact that

Active Scuba Divers - El Mejor Centro de Buceo de Andalucía puede encontrarse aquí en Manilva Recientemente entrevisté a Ronny Roskosch, el propietario de Active Scuba Divers con sede en el Centro de Buceo de Manilva, en Sabinillas.

Después de unos minutos de escuchar al entusiasmo, profesionalismo y experiencia de Ronnie, en ese momento casi quise ponerme un traje de neopreno y aparato de respiración y saltar a la piscina de entrenamiento del centro.

Es esta combinación de cualidades que han llevado al legendario buzo Cubano Pipin Ferrer a nombrar a Ronnie como su representante en España.

El amor de Ronnie hacia el buceo se remonta a su juventud, cuando como muchos de nosotros vio las aventuras submarinas del pionero del buceo Jacques Cousteau.

Ronnie buceó por primera vez a la edad de catorce años y a los diecisiete ya estaba trabajando en las plataformas del Mar del Norte como un buzo de saturación, también obteniendo a la vez un título en negocios.

Pasado poco tiempo decidió iniciar su propio negocio de buceo comercial en Alemania, pero al igual que muchos de nosotros los climas más soleados le atrajeron y pronto se encontró en el sur de España, donde en 1989 fundó su primera empresa de buceo. Fue en ese momento cuando se dio cuenta de que

el buceo de saturación era un juego de hombres jóvenes y es una carga pesada para el cuerpo.

En 1992 tomó un ligero cambio de dirección y estableció un centro de buceo adicional en Tarifa, que mantuvo junto a su operación comercial durante varios años.

En el ‘94 se registró como instructor de buceo deportivo y durante los años ha acumulado tanta reputación que PADI han nombrado a Active Scuba Divers como el mejor centro de buceo de Andalucía.

Active Scuba Divers también se especializan en la formación de instructores para los buzos con discapacidad, algo de lo que Ronnie se siente especialmente orgulloso.

También ofrecen el curso de National Geographic sobre el buceo responsable, diseñado para reducir el impacto de los estimados 29 millones de buceadores sobre la ecología y el medio ambiente del océano.

Ronnie explicó que durante el verano reciben una gran cantidad de turismo de buceo a menudo con familias enteras participando en cursos, así como inmersiones recreativas, etc Durante el invierno se centra más en la formación profesional, con cursos de instructores, cursos técnicos, etc. Hay un curso

particularmente interesante de buceo libre de cuatro días que se ofrece en septiembre (ver página 5), ​​que será realizado por el propio Pipin Ferrer.

Y si eso no fuera suficiente, en octubre se espera la visita a Sabinillas de PierreYves Cousteau, hijo de Jacques, la inspiración detrás de la carrera de Ronnie, para personalmente nombrar a Active Scuba Divers como centro de buceo Cousteau.

Además de la formación de buceo el equipo de Active Scuba Divers también están involucrados con una serie de proyectos de películas incluyendo “The

Dive ‘, una película de James Cameron sobre Pipin Ferrer y su difunta esposa, así como una serie de documentales por encargo del canal Discovery.

Si estás interesado en el buceo o simplemente te gustaría probarlo, Active Scuba Divers ofrecen regularmente buceos para darte una idea del mundo bajo el agua. Para obtener más información sobre estos y la amplia gama de otras actividades que se ofrecen, visita la página web www.activescubadivers. com o contacta con ellos llamando al 952 793 095 o 628 591 357.

Andalucia’s top dive centre can be found here in Manilva I recently interviewed Ronny Roskosch, the proprietor of Active Scuba Divers based at the Manilva Dive Centre in Sabinillas.

After just a few minutes listening to Ronnie’s enthusiasm, professionalism and experience I almost wanted to don a wetsuit and breathing apparatus and jump in the centre’s training pool right there and then.

It is this combination of qualities that led the legendary Cuban freediver Pipin Ferrer to appoint Ronnie as his representative in Spain.

Ronnie’s love affair with diving goes back to his youth, when like many of us he watched the undersea adventures of diving pioneer Jacques Cousteau.

Ronnie’s first dive was at the age of fourteen and by seventeen he was working on the North Sea platforms as a saturation diver whilst also taking a degree in business.

It wasn’t long before he looked at starting

his own commercial diving business in Germany, but like many of us sunnier climes beckoned and he soon found himself in the South of Spain, where in 1989 he set up his first diving company. At was at this time that he realised that saturation diving was a young man’s game and took a heavy toll on the body.

In 1992 he took a slight change of direction and also set up a scuba diving centre in Tarifa which he ran in tandem with his commercial operation for a number of years.

In ‘94 he registered as a sports dive instructor and over those years has built up the business and his reputation to the point where PADI have declared Active Scuba Divers the top dive centre in Andalucia.

Active Scuba Divers also specialise in training instructors for disabled divers, something of which Ronnie is particularly

proud. They also offer the National Geographic course for responsible diving, designed to reduce the impact of the estimated 29 million divers on the ocean ecology and environment.

Ronnie explained that during the summer they get a lot of dive tourism often with whole families taking courses, as well as fun dives, etc. During the winter the accent is more on professional training, with instructors courses, technical courses, and so on. Particularly exciting is the four-day freediving course on offer in September (see page 5) which will be given by Pipin Ferrer himself.

And if that was not enough then in October Pierre-Yves Cousteau, son of Jacques who was the inspiration behind Ronnie’s career is expected to visit Sabinillas to appoint Active Scuba Divers as a Cousteau Dive Centre.

Apart from the dive training the team at Active Scuba Divers are also involved with a number of film projects including ‘The Dive’ a film by James Cameron about

Ronnie with Pierre-Yves Cousteau last year

Pipin Ferrer and his late wife, as well as a number of documentaries commissioned

by Discovery Channel.

If you are interested in diving or would just like to see what it’s like Active Scuba Divers regularly offer try-dives to give you a taste of this underwater world. For more information on these and the wide range of other activities on offer then visit their website at www.activescubadivers.com or telephone 952 793 095 or 628 591 357.

ADANA rompe los records!

Información Information Age Concern, Estepona and Manilva Shop Closure

As usual the charity shop in Calle Zaragoza, Estepona will be closed for August to allow volunteers to recharge their batteries. The last day of trading will be Saturday 28th July and the shop will reopen on Monday 3rd September when some autumn wear will be on display.

Until closure the sizzling summer special on clothes will continue – and what a success that has been so far! A dedicated rail is offering buy one item for 1€ and get one free! All you have to do is look for the cross on the reverse of the price ticket.

Every day there will be fresh items for sale, so come along and get your summer bargains at giveaway prices!

Drop-In-Centre

The Centre will be closed from Saturday Helen Ellis ADANA Adoptions Officer at her desk

El personal y los miembros de la Junta Directiva de ADANA estaban en el séptimo cielo cuando la encargada de las adopciones, Hellen Ellis, informó que en los primeros seis meses del año el número de perros que había sido adoptados había igualado las cifras de todo el 2011.

“Estos números son muy alentadores”, dijo Helen. “Incluyen los perros que se enviaron a otros países europeos, asi como los que encontraron un hogar aquí, lo cual si consideramos el estado de la economía local es un resultado muy satisfactorio”.

“Estas noticias son maravillosas”, dijo

la Presidenta María Cawsey. “Sólo podemos agradecer a Helen, Fernando y Bernd y a nuestro estupendo equipo de voluntarios, quienes trabajando juntos hacen esto posible. Ciento cuarenta perros ya tienen hogares buenos y cariñosos.

Aunque todavía hay un continuo flujo de perros abandonados que llega a nuestras perreras en el Parque de los Pedregales, es bueno saber que no sólo estamos luchando sino además haciendo excelentes progresos.

Esperamos seguir viendo cómo aumentan los números de adopciones a este ritmo tan prometedor.

ADANA beats the record!

ADANA staff and Board members were over the moon when they were told by Adoptions Officer Helen Ellis that in the first six months of this year the number of dogs adopted had equalled the adoption figure for the whole of 2011.

‘These figures are very encouraging’, said Helen. ‘They include dogs sent to other European countries as well as those rehomed locally but considering the state of the local economy, it’s a very pleasing result’.

‘This is wonderful news’, said President

Maria Cawsey. ‘We can only thank Helen, Fernando and Bernd and our wonderful team of volunteers who together make this possible. One hundred and forty dogs now have good, loving homes’.

Although there is still a steady stream of abandoned dogs arriving at the kennels in the Parque de los Pedregales, it’s good to know that we are not only coping but making excellent progress.

Let’s hope that we will continue to see adoption numbers increasing at this very encouraging rate.

Unos de los principales problemas de las comunidades de propietarios en la actualidad es la morosidad. Tras analizar los datos de las comunidades con las que trabajamos, hemos verificado que las medidas puestas en marcha contra este problema están empezando a dar resultados, así el porcentaje de cobros sobre cuotas comunitarias ha mejorado

en un 5,12% entre junio del año 2012 respecto al 2011.

Las medidas puesta en marcha han consistido en la contratación de un abogado por la empresa para la reclamación de cuotas y hacer un mayor y mejor seguimiento de los procedimientos judiciales, facilitando a los presidentes información detallada de la gestión y de los mismos. Otra de las medidas han sido la reclamación de cuotas comunitarias en Inglaterra, que está dando bastante buen resultado y por último la creación de un departamento de cobros con la contratación de una nueva persona que está permanentemente en contacto con los deudores, intentando que estos paguen o alcanzando acuerdos de pagos con los mismos.

quotas has improved by 5.12% in June 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.

Implemented measures have included the hiring of a lawyer by the company for reclaiming fees and to enable better monitoring of court proceedings, providing detailed reports to the presidents and keeping them up to date. Another measure has been the ability to reclaim outstanding community fees in England, which is giving excellent results and finally the creation of a billing department and the hiring of a new member of staff who is permanently in contact with debtors, trying to recuperate these outstanding payments or reaching agreements for their payment.

Hotel y restaurante que resiste la tendencia En medio de todas las malas noticias de los últimos meses es bueno escuchar de los negocios que están prosperando en el clima económico actual y uno de ellos es un hotel rural cerca de Ronda.

Molino del Santo, una de las primeras empresas rurales de Andalucía, ha estado operativo desde 1987 y siempre ha tenido una buena clientela. Sin embargo, 2012 está demostrando ser un gran año para la empresa británica por el aumento de las ventas, tanto en el hotel y el restaurante por más del 15% en comparación con el año pasado.

El propietario Andy Chapell está encantado con la forma en que la temporada se está desarrollando, lo que significa que puede ofrecer puestos de trabajo seguros a más de 20 empleados.

Las razones para el éxito en 2012 de acuerdo con Andy son muchas, aunque difíciles de cuantificar. El

volumen de comercio español de este año ha decrecido ya que los locales se están apretando el cinturón, pero ha sido más que compensada por los británicos, holandeses, estadounidenses y, notablemente, australianos.

La calidad también parece ser clave en la creación de una fiel clientela - y más del 75% de los visitantes, tanto en el hotel y el restaurante Molino del Santo han estado antes - algunos de ellos muchas, muchas veces en el transcurso de tan solo esta temporada.

“Creo que tenemos una gran combinación de una magnífica ubicación, un personal increíblemente amable, excelente comida y una zona que ofrece muchas actividades para todas las edades e intereses, todos ellos con un compromiso de calidad”, dice el orgulloso dueño.

Hotel and restaurant bucking the trend Amidst all the gloomy news of recent months it is good to hear of businesses that are thriving in the present economic climate and one such is a rural hotel near Ronda.

Molino del Santo, one of the first rural enterprises in Andalucia, has been operating since 1987 and has always had a good following. However 2012 is proving to be a great year for the British-owned concern with sales in both the hotel and restaurant up by over 15% compared with last year.

Owner Andy Chapell is delighted with the way this season is developing and is pleased that this means he can offer secure jobs to over 20 staff.

The reasons for the success in 2012 according to Andy are many, although

difficult to quantify. There has been a slowdown in the amount of Spanish trade this year as locals tighten their belts but this has been more than compensated for

by Brits, Dutch, Americans and notably Australians.

Quality also seems to be the key to creating a loyal following – and over 75% of the visitors both to the hotel and restaurant at Molino del Santo have been before – some of them many, many times over the course of just this season.

“I think we have a great combination of a wonderful location, amazingly friendly staff, excellent food and an area which offers many activities for all ages and interests, all with a commitment to quality, ” says the proud proprietor.

En la llama, cómplice del astro, la noche arde, la ola es fuego que me espera, amiga de mi pensamiento, de mi oración, de mi cabello ; surge la vida de ese mar tuyo, es el rostro que baña la sábana y el salón; la oscuridad es agua, para ser luego luz que nos penetra, mientras, pasea el pez del cielo por la casa; y yo, silencioso, sigo esperando la aventura del sueño: abro la ventana, mujer y noche son más que luna alada, toca la brisa blanda el corazón que flota y te sonríe al fin al alba.

oy a la mar en esta primavera para cantarle a la llanura del agua, allí dejaré los restos de mi madre; porque el polvo humano, no un despojo, no una ruina, no una roca deshecha, me acompaña, viene conmigo la ceniza humana, la flor habitada para el aire y el agua, viene junto a mi mi madre; porque la muerte, quizás oculta sus razones para ser más espíritu.

Ahora el silencio del mar es posada para mi madre, aurora en la roca, madeja de algas, templanza de azules, barco de alabanzas en alta mar que vendrá hasta la orilla a confiarle aventuras en su lecho. Y se queda mi madre, su nombre, su canto, su risa, su dolor y su vida, su carácter esmerado y brioso, no en el mar, no en la orilla, no en el barco, y no se difumina su historia, ella está en los adentros de nosotros mismos, en el corazón de los hijos, porque la muerte es rama caída, pero el árbol sigue brotando, esa continuidad del sentimiento incapaz de arder, de volar, de navegar o hundirse en las aguas, de ser nada en la nada. (Lo que flota es la vida de la luz.)

Mi madre ya es agua, sí, y el agua es espejo para la medusa, lo incoloro de la verdadera sangre, Moisés en una ola, el testamento del sueño vivido, del quehacer

computado en un instante sobre una gota salada.

La vida, nuestro tiempo se acaba, pero ese vivir, creen algunos, es siempre insuficiente para hacernos madurar; por eso, quizás, las flores familiares siguen impulsando los candelabros, quién no enciende su alma con recuerdos de la infancia, quién no llena su crepúsculo de historias de juventud, quién no contempla su propia vida desde otras vidas que estuvieron cercana a la nuestra: la escuela, la casa, los miedos, la regañina, el caramelo, un almuerzo y sus asuntos, la costura de una falda, la moral y la ideología diversa, las opiniones, el novio, la boda, la mística del mar donde acudimos a pasear por playas rocosas, limpias y sinuosas...

Pero recordar no es solo un recurso para accionar la vida más allá de nuestras fronteras, nos adentramos en los demás, no para salir de nosotros mismos, ni para ser la madre, el padre, el hijo, el amigo, el hermano, sino para abrir la escotilla del amor e identificarnos con la naturaleza del alma, y entrar en un océano que lleva en sus aguas cenizas corpulentas, azules delantales, de madre y marineros, y allí ser más que polvo, donde la niebla al alba se disipa por una lágrima del cielo.

Noche

Esa soy yo antes del alba, oscuridad sin lágrima.

Soy la luna, fragmento del llanto para el estanque de tu pecho; y sucede que la noche es un grito sin destino previo donde igual duermen soledad y embrión de arco iris, la esperanza, el amor del viento y de la estrella, pero ahora, todavía no derramo mis ríos porque esté solo, porque no sepa de tus planetas, porque soy yo antes del alba, y no sé despertar o no me atrevo, ¡qué gracia de mirarte y amarte siempre!

Deseo

Un secreto se hunde en la nostalgia.

Despierta, cuando descanses, sentirás el universo que te invita a salir a la luz, a revolcarte en la aurora.

La vida se derrama y se entrega y te entregas: en la piel se recupera el astro, calla el alma. ¿Sentencia? ¿Absuelto el beso pardo y puro?

El cuerpo vence en su deseo al sueño: Deseo, deseo, deseo.

Si nuestra alma fuera dueña de la noche y cayera de los labios de la luna ese beso infinito de Cupido como olas y aves para saber de todos los amores anhelados.

Es respirar la vida y el corazón se ha agrandado.

Otros árboles y arbustos olorosos han dejado también su aroma, el romero de sierra brava, el humilde tomillo perfumado, el eucalipto, el laurel, el brezo, la acacia con su blanca flor. ¿Cómo no cuidamos nuestros árboles? ¿Por qué razón los olvidamos?

JoJo’s Burpee Challenge On September 14th at the Courtyard, Mar y Sol in Sotogrande a group of local people will attempt to set a Guinness world record for the highest number of burpees done collectively, to raise money for a local cancer charity.

The challenge is led by fitness instructor JoJo France, who has been torturing her clients with burpees for many years.

“When I begin training people one of the most frequent complaints is how hard burpees are,” she said. “So I decided to make burpees a complete training programme, so by doing 100s of them, 50 in a workout would be a doddle.”

She added: “Then I thought let’s do a sponsored burpee challenge to raise money for a local charity, and the idea

About JoJo JoJo has worked in the fitness industry for 24 years. She began her career as a dancer with a keen interest in health and fitness, and studied ‘fitness’ at Sandwell College in the UK, and then became a group fitness instructor.

She added to her qualifications by doing vocational courses, including group instructing for weights, yoga, pre and post pregnancy, fitness for kids and personal training. In 2006 she decided to further her knowledge and is now midway through a degree in physiology and sports science.

JoJo has worked with many sports clubs and professional bodies, including premiership rugby clubs (Worcester and Moseley), and football players (David James). She also works with a wide range of individuals and groups with different fitness issues, for example obese clients with debilitating weight issues, group projects to increase physical output, and over 50’s with blood pressure issues.

JoJo has spent the last six years transferring her UK based clinic to Spain, She is now well established in Pueblo Nuevo (Sotogrande), where she holds clinics, classes and one to one training for people looking for guidance on changing their body shape and physical issues

just took off.”

The group she is currently training have a range of fitness categories, including the “I’ve done nothing for 10 years”, super fit eight year olds, middle-aged housewives, and deskbound 60 something’s. “Every one of them will be able to do it,” said JoJo. “And they are already surprising themselves with their results in training, and by September they will have no trouble in reaching their target of 600 burpees in one hour.”

JoJo is offering the training sessions for free on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings, in the hope that it will persuade more people to raise money for the local cancer charity, and to set the Guinness World record.

Recordbreakers required Sotogrande based fitness instructor JoJo France is looking for people to help with a world record attempt which will also raise money for a local cancer charity.

The world record attempt will take place on September 14th at The Courtyard, Mar y Sol in Sotogrande, and needs a team of people of all ages, shapes, and sizes, and with different fitness levels. They will attempt, as a group to set a Guinness World Record for the most burpees done by collectively in one hour.

Each person in the team will aim to do 600 burpees in one hour, and be sponsored for each burpee they do.

JoJo explained what made her think of the challenge: “When I begin training people one of the most frequent complaints is how hard burpees are,” she said. “So I decided to make burpees a complete training programme, so by doing 100s of them, 50 in a workout would be a doddle.

“Then I thought let’s do a sponsored burpee challenge to raise money for a local charity, and the idea just took off.”

She now needs some more volunteers - for the burpees themselves, but also sponsors, judges, time keepers and general supporters.

How to do a Burpee 1. Begin in a standing position.

2. Drop into a squat position with your hands on the ground.

3. Extend your feet back in one quick motion to assume the plank position.

4. Return to the squat position in one quick motion.

5. Jump straight into the air as high as possible.

Informacón Information

Are you paying your ‘autonomo’ each month?

- by LIMIT CONSULTING

One of the obligations you acquire as self-employed is paying the ‘autonomo’ fee each month. There are a few things you need to know to ensure that you don’t miss any payments, as late payment carries charges and interest If you fail to make provisions and it is not paid, beware, it will not be sent again to your bank account by the Social Security.

From the moment you register as self-employed a monthly direct debit should be set up at your bank account for approximately 250€ in concept of national insurance that will come out on the first of the following month.

In the situation mentioned in the introduction you have to obtain a pay-slip from the Social Security Office in order to pay it in cash at the bank. This pay-slip is valid only during the month in which it is issued.

When the fee is not paid during the corresponding month the debt increases with interests and charges: 3%,5%,10% and 20% in the consecutive months.

It is important to note that stopping the payments, whether it be without notice or even cancelling the direct debit at the bank is not considered as deregistration and therefore the debt will continue to grow.

We know of some expats that left Spain without notifying the Social Security only to return later, even after many years, only to find they had a large debt to pay before being allowed to re register with the Social Security. In some cases there are things that can be done, but not always.

There are basically three different responds to the Social Security’s request of payment at your bank. You pay it, you let it return, or, and this can create the problem, you let it go and cancel the direct debit. In some cases this has been done by the bank without the specific order of the client. Then, months later you uncover the debt.

Just a positive note: During all this time that you are registered, weather you pay or not, you have medical care rights and this time counts as working time for your pension calculations.

In conclusion, in order to avoid problems, our recommendation is: monitor your payments each month and make sure that you provide an address where you get the post.
