EDITORIAL

Dep Leg: MA -158-2006

Bienvenidos a la edición del periódico The Resident del mes de Mayo. Estando aquí sentado y escribiendo esta editorial, acompañado por la sinfonía de las bocinas de los coches y de los petardos que celebran la victoria del Barça, como ganadores en la Primera Liga, me viene a la memoria que solo faltan tres semanas para que empiece la Copa del Mundo. Habiendo sido testigo de varias Copas del Mundo, viviendo aquí en el Sur de España, me doy cuenta de las diferentes nacionalidades que viven en esta zona, haciendo de nuestra comunidad, una comunidad cosmopolita. No importa qué país juega, siempre encontrará en un bar o en cualquier otro sitio un grupo de seguidores del país que juega disfrutando del partido (o no, depende de cómo se desarrolle el susodicho), y si el equipo de tu país es eliminado, siempre puedes transferir tu lealtad y continuar disfrutando del campeonato en buena compañía. Bueno, volviendo a las recientes celebraciones, gracias al valeroso empate 1-1 Málaga contra Real Madrid, aseguró al Málaga para la nueva temporada en lo alto de la liga de fútbol español, así pues ¡Enhorabuena a “Los Boquerones”! Con respecto al tiempo, a la recesión o a las cenizas volcánicas de Islandia que intentan estropearnos la fiesta, el verano ya se respira en el aire. Las playas ya están empezando a llenarse, la gente ya se están animando a meter los pies en el mar (Creo que esperaré hasta Julio para ello), y la temporada de fiestas ya ha empezado. Esto también significa para nosotros, los padres, que se aproximan las temidas vacaciones escolares de verano. Si, amigos, sólo faltan unas cinco semanas, para que empiecen las vacaciones de verano que duran tres meses. Afortunadamente, mis dos hĳos están ya en una edad, que se entretienen ellos solos, pero para aquellos que tenéis niños pequeños, las vacaciones de veranos se convierten realmente en un verdadero reto. Con esto en mente, el próximo mes os daremos algunas ideas: qué hacer y dónde ir este verano. No solo son los niños los que necesitan entretenerse sino también los adultos, hay también ocupaciones para los adultos. Échele un vistazo a nuestra sección de “What´s On” en las páginas 18 hasta la 20 de este mes y podrá ver eventos hasta el próximo mes. También puede encontrar información en nuestra página web www.theresident.es o en Facebook en www.facebook.com/theresident.spain. Bueno, eso es todo por este mes, pero antes de que me despida, os dejaré con esta palabra “Sol”.

Welcome to the May issue of The Resident. As I sit here writing this editorial accompanied by a symphony of car horns and firecrackers celebrating Barça winning the Primera Liga, it reminds me that we are only some three weeks away from the start of The World Cup. Having witnessed a number of World Cups whilst living in southern Spain it serves to spotlight the wide range of nationalities that make up our cosmopolitan community. It doesn’t seem to matter which country is playing, you will always find in one bar or another a group of fans from that country enjoying the match (or not as the case might be), and if your country gets knocked out, well you can just transfer your allegiance and continue to enjoy the tournament in good company. Anyway, back to the current celebrations which are in no small way thanks to a valiant 1-all draw by Malaga against Real Madrid, which secured Malaga’s next season in the top flight of Spanish football, so congratulations to ‘Los Boquerones’. Regardless of what the weather might do, or however much the recession or Icelandic volcanoes try to spoil the party, summer is definitely in the air. The beaches are beginning to fill, people are beginning to dip a toe in the sea (I think I’ll wait ‘til July thank you), and the party season has begun. It also means for us parents the dreaded approach of the summer holidays. Yes folks it’s only some five weeks before little ‘Johnny’ and ‘Mary’ break up for the three months that constitute the Spanish summer holidays. Fortunately my two are of an age where they entertain themselves, but I know that for those of you with younger kids, occupying the little darlings during the summer break can be a real challenge. With this in mind from next month we will be bringing you a few ideas of what to do and where to go this summer. It’s not just the kids that need entertaining, and fortunately there is plenty going on for the adults too. Check out our What’s On Section on pages 18 to 20 of this month’s paper to see some of the events going on over the next month. You can also find more information on our website www.theresident.es or on Facebook at www.facebook. com/theresident.spain. Well that’s it for this month but before I go I’ll leave you with one final word...Sunscreen!

San Roque GONHS calls for rejection of dolphinarium proposal

The Gibraltar Ornithological & Natural History Society is overwhelmed by the support generated by its Facebook campaign against proposals to create a dolphinarium in Gibraltar. With over 2,700 members GONHS feels it is a clear message to the promoters that they are simply not wanted here. Since hearing about the proposals, GONHS has been working quietly behind the scenes, gathering information and keeping Government - which as yet has not made public a position on what is a private proposal - informed of its concerns.. The scheme includes an aquarium and museum (to which GONHS does not object), and a pen, in Rosia Bay, which would hold 18 bottle-nosed dolphins and 9 sea lions. A meeting was held on Friday 30 April between GONHS and the promoters of the project, which included local backers Europa Point Marine Village Limited and, through a video link to Florida, representatives of American company, Ocean Embassy. At the meeting, which lasted over one hour, GONHS expounded its concerns about the proposals, and pointed out the dubious commercial viability, in any case, of the project. GONHS stressed the long history of appreciation of wild dolphins in Gibraltar waters. The promoters argued that their work would aid conservation, a claim rejected by GONHS, and that they would provide a stranded dolphin rehabilitation facility. The GONHS representatives were quick to point out that there is no need for this, as strandings in Gibraltar are less than one a decade and that this was a “red herring” being thrown at the dolphins, on the assumption that experts in Gibraltar were gullible enough to be convinced by what were shallow arguments. The Ocean Embassy representatives admitted that the dolphins would be “obtained from the Asian market”, a reference clearly to the well known capturing of dolphins in that region,

especially off Japan, covered in the award winning documentary The Cove (which they dismissed simply as “propaganda”). They also confirmed that the dolphins intended for Gibraltar were wild. There was also a suggestion in the discussion that, although “not for the moment”, there was a possibility that their operation would in the future capture dolphins from Gibraltar waters. GONHS stressed the fact that a dolphinarium would serve no conservation or research purpose in a local context, regardless of the origin of the dolphins. GONHS totally rejects these proposals as unnecessary and unjustified as well as potentially illegal, given that cetaceans are protected by Gibraltar and EU laws. Following the meeting, GONHS asked the local representatives to withdraw the project, which they refused to do. Dolphinaria are a thing of the past. While some of the old dolphinaria, which were created when there was much less knowledge and awareness, do some good work, there is simply no justification for creating new ones and enslaving more wild dolphins. The UK, for example, is dolphinarium-free as is much of Europe, and having such an anachronism in Gibraltar would be an embarrassment in the eyes of many millions of people around the world – as well as to thousands of Gibraltarians. There are three Gibraltar-based companies listed in the project’s documentation. GONHS will be asking all three to withdraw their support for the dolphinarium. GONHS has also again been in contact with Government asking them to reject the proposals outright. GONHS is particularly grateful to the hundreds of concerned citizens who have rallied round to defend the dolphins and is committed to continue its efforts relentlessly until the project is cancelled. Add your support to this campaign and join the facebook group “Stop the Proposed Dolphinarium in Gibraltar!”

Casares celebra su primera ceremonia de bienvenida en sociedad para recién nacidos Casares celebró el pasado 15 de mayo su primera Ceremonia de Bienvenida en Sociedad para recién nacidos. En esta ocasión las homenajeadas eran 2 niñas mellizas, Nerea y Naira de 1 año de edad hĳas de una pareja policías locales. El acto, que estuvo oficiado por el concejal de Relaciones Institucionales, el exalcalde Juan Sánchez, y curiosamente en el mismo actuaban como testigos la alcaldesa de Casares, Antonia

Morera y el Teniente de alcalde, Pedro González. Durante la ceremonia, Juan Sánchez, comenzó expresando el compromiso del padre, la madre, testigos y del Ayuntamiento de defender la condición de ciudadanas libres de las dos pequeñas. El Ayuntamiento aprobó en pleno el pasado 4 de mayo crear el registro municipal para estos actos, conocidos popularmente como bautismo civil.

Nuevo mini punto limpio de Casares La alcaldesa de Casares, Antonia Morera y la delegada provincial de la Consejería de Medio Ambiente, Remedios Martel, han inaugurado un mini punto limpio en Casares. Unas instalaciones que como ha explicado la alcaldesa de Casares sirven desde hoy para los vecinos puedan depositar los residuos domésticos que no se pueden tirar a los contenedores habituales. Los residuos que se pueden depositar son los siguientes: Aceites y grasas vegetales, Pinturas, barnices y disolventes, Radiografías, Baterías de automóviles, Aerosoles, cartuchos de tintas y tóner, Pilas botón, alcalinas y salinas, Aparatos

eléctricos y electrónicos, Ropa usada. Los contenedores para depositar estos residuos se han instalado en un recinto cerrado habilitado por el Ayuntamiento que tendrá un horario de apertura amplio para que todos los vecinos que trabajan puedan hacer uso del mismo. Podrá ser utilizado de Lunes a Viernes de 8.30 a 19.00 horas, y los Sábados de 8.30 a 14.00 horas. Durante la inauguración, la delegada provincial se ha mostrado muy satisfecha con las nuevas instalaciones, y ha destacado como importante que se encuentre cerca del colegio Blas Infante, ya que en muchos casos los niños los que animan a sus padres en el reciclaje.

Casares celebrates its first ‘Civil Baptisms’ Casares recently celebrated its first Ceremonia de Bienvenida en Sociedad, commonly referred to as Civil Baptism for newborns. The recipients of this ceremony were one-year-old twin sisters Nerea and Naira. Officiating at the cermony was the Councillor for Institutional Relations, former Mayor Juan Sánchez, with the Mayoress of Casares, Antonia Morera and the

Deputy Mayor Pedro González acting as witnesses. During the ceremony Juan Sánchez committed those present to promise to defend the civil rights and status of the two youngsters. The Town Hall had approved the creation of a municipal register for such acts popularly known as Civil Baptisms at plenary council meeting held on 4th May.

El Ateneo organiza el Festival de Cine Manilva Fantastika El Ateneo José Román, de Algeciras, será el encargado de organizar entre los próximos días 20 y 23 de mayo el Festival de Cine Manilva Fantástika, que tendrá como escenario el Castillo de la Duquesa, según el concejal de cultura, Diego José Jiménez. El presidente del Ateneo, Juan Emilio Ríos Vera, confirmó que, efectivamente, ya está firmado el convenio con el Ayuntamiento de Manilva y cerrado el extenso programa de actos de un festival que rendirá un cálido homenaje a dos grandes del cine ya fallecidos: el director Carlos Aured y el actor Paul Naschy (Jacinto Molina), como confirmó el edil de cultura, Diego José Jiménez. El Festival que organiza el Ateneo de Algeciras con entrada gratuita- dará comienzo el jueves 20 de mayo con el acto inaugural a cargo de las autoridades y la apertura de una exposición pictórica del algecireño Víctor Jerez, que ha centrado su muestra en el cine. Seguidamente se proyectará una selección de cortometrajes de cine fantástico realizada Ángel Gómez Hernández. El día concluirá con dos

«platos fuertes»: el primero, la proyección de \’El espanto surge de la tumba\’, dirigida por Carlos Aured y protagonizada por Paul Naschy. Seguidamente y como cierre de la jornada, se presentará el \’trailer\’ de la última película que dirigieron Aured y Naschy: \’Empusa\’. Se da la circunstancia que Carlos Aured comenzó a dirigir la película, pero falleció a mitad del rodaje. Lo remató Naschy, que logró terminarla, y después falleció. La película aún no ha sido estrenada. Está previsto que asistan la viuda de Paul Naschy, Elvira Primavera, y su hĳo, Sergio Molina. El viernes, se realizarán dos proyecciones de terror en horario de tarde: \’La novia de Frankestein\’ y \’El exorcista. El montaje del director\’. El sábado, matinal de cine fantástico, con \’Simbad y la princesa\’ y \’Dragonwars\’. Por la tarde, ciencia ficción, con \’Planeta prohibido\’ y \’La guerra de los mundos\’, de Steven Spielberg. La jornada seguirá con la presentación de la revista DATA, del algecireño \’Garry\’, que estará dedicada al Festival

de Cine Manilva Fantástika, y concluirá con la entrega del premio \’Lobisome\’ a Ángel Gómez Rivero, por su aportación al cine fantástico y de terror. El galardonado, finalmente, disertará sobre ambos géneros. El domingo se rendirá homenaje a Eugenio Martín, director de \’Pánico en el

Transiberiano\’ a quien se le otorgará el primer premio \’Paul Naschy\’. Posteriormente se cerrará el festival con la presentación del libro de Ángel Gómez y Juan Emilio Ríos Vera \’La mirada dual\’, un trabajo que mezcla textos poéticos y narrativa, centrados en el terror y la fantasía.

Being screened will be ‘El espanto surge de la tumba’ (Horror Rises From The Tomb) and a trailor for ultimate film ‘Empusa’. Aured died during the filming of this last film, but it was finished by Naschy, who unfortunately also died shortly afterwards, and the film is yet to be released. It is expected that Paul Naschy’s widow Elvira Spring and his son, Sergio Molino

will attend. On Friday there will be two screenings in the afternoon - ‘The Bride of Frankenstein’ followed by ‘The Exorcist - The Director’s Cut’.

Finally on Sunday, 23rd there will be a tribute to Eugene Martin, director of ‘Panic on the TransSiberian’ who will be awarded the top ‘Paul Naschy’ prize.

Trabajadores de la Construcción descubren Campamento del deporte torre de vigilancia “perdida” Trabajadores, trabajando en el antiguo camping Chullera III, descubrieron restos de una torre vigía del siglo XV durante las obras de renovación. Parte del programa fue la demolición del antiguo Cortĳo de la Duquesa, que había servido como un restaurante del camping antes de que cerrara hace unos años. Fue durante esta demolición cuándo se descubrió que parte del edificio fue la parte inferior de 5 metros de esta, ‘una Torre Almenara de una cadena de torres como mandada a construir por los Reyes Católicos a

finales del siglo XV para proteger la costa de las incursiones de piratas berberiscos. La última referencia a la torre se documentó en el siglo XIV, donde fue catalogado como un punto de referencia de navegación, pero se creía que había sido destruido durante la construcción del Cortĳo. Los especialistas ahora eliminarán el techo y los restos de la posterior construcción como parte de un plan de conservación de la torre.

Building workers discover ‘lost’ watchtower Workers at the old Chullera III campsite discovered the remains of a 15th Century watchtower during renovation works. Part of the programme was the demolition of the old Cortijo de la Duquesa which had been serving as the site’s restaurant before it closed a few years back. It was during this demolition that it was discovered that part of the building was in fact the bottom 5 metres of this ‘Torre Almenara’ one of a string of such towers ordered built by the Catholic Monarchs at the end of the 15th

Century to protect the coastline from raids by Barbary pirates. The last reference to the tower was documented in the 19th century, where it was listed as a navigation reference point, but it was believed that it had been destroyed during the construction of the Cortijo. Specialists will now remove the roof and all traces of the later construction as part of a conservation plan for the tower.

anúnciese con the resident Éxito deportivo del fútbol sala Gracias a un gol de Benito en la segunda parte de la prorroga, el Manilva F. S. ascendió el pasado sábado a Primera Nacional B. El conjunto de Ángel Gil, llevado en volandas por una entregada afición, necesitó de la prorroga para deshacerse de un gran rival como el Almuñécar 77 al llegar al final de los cuarenta minutos reglamentarios con un cuatro a tres para los locales, mismo resultado

con el que vencieron los granadinos en el encuentro de ida. Ya en la segunda parte del tiempo extra Benito fue el encargado de marcar el definitivo cinco a tres. Ahora, una vez conseguido el ascenso, los manilveños jugarán la gran final de la fase de ascenso sin nada en juego. Acabado el encuentro llegó la merecida celebración para un grupo de jugadores que hacen historia en el deporte manilveño.

Manilva’s indoor footballers promoted A goal from Benito in the second half of extra time was enought to give local indoor football team Manilva FS victory against Almuñécar 77 and promotion to indoor football’s Primera Nacional B division. With the aggregate score standing at 8-all

at the end of normal time in this second leg - the Granada team having won 43 in the first leg, it took Benito’s strike to give Manilva a 5-3 win on the day, 9-8 on aggregate.

Información Information

Abuso común del empresario en la extinción de la relación laboral Cada vez es más frecuente que los empresarios, cuando despiden a los trabajadores, intenten pedirles tiempo a los trabajadores despedidos para que no acometan acciones legales algunas contra ellos, prometiendo compensaciones o futuras contrataciones que nunca llegan. Así, el empresario consigue que pasen los 20 días hábiles que la ley dispone para interponer la preceptiva demanda de conciliación ante el CMAC (SMAC: Servicio/Centro de Mediación Arbitraje y Conciliación), para reclamar el derecho al reconocimiento de la nulidad del despido o en su defecto su improcedencia, y percibir así la indemnización correspondiente. Por ello, cuando pasemos por una situación parecida, no nos confiemos, debiendo activar un procedimiento muy sencillo que nos permite al menos garantizarnos el

derecho a reclamar lo que se nos es debido. Así, redactando un simple escrito, indicando todas las circunstancias del despido (nombre de la empresa y domicilio, nombre del despedido y domicilio, duración de la relación laboral, fecha del despido,...) y enviándolo al CMAC en Málaga, conseguimos que el empresario no se salga con la suya, y que podamos, al menos, mantener nuestro derecho impoluto y no perderlo por haber pasado los 20 días hábiles indicados sin haber reclamado nuestro derecho. Con dicha escrito, conseguimos una cita ante un funcionario de la Junta de Andalucía, para tratar de llegar a un acuerdo con el empresario. Si no se llega a un acuerdo, entonces tendríamos que presentar la preceptiva demanda (con la copia de haber intentado el acuerdo, copia conocida

como PAPELETA DE CONCILIACIÓN, emitida por el funcionario de la junta), dentro del mismo plazo antes referido y que se mantiene en suspenso mientras se celebra la conciliación. Una vez en juicio, el juez siempre defiende el interés de “ambas partes”, resolviendo en la inmensa mayoría de las ocasiones a favor del trabajador. Si bien, muchas veces se consigue resolver el asunto en el mismo acto de conciliación. ¡¡Ojo!! Para todo este proceso, no es necesaria la asistencia de abogado, pudiendo uno mismo de mutuo propio, iniciar el procedimiento y reclamar sus derechos incluso en el acto del juicio propiamente dicho. Centro de Mediación, Arbitraje y Conciliación (CMAC). Málaga. c/ Avda. Manuel Agustin Heredia, 26 - 3ª planta. (23071 - Málaga)

Abuso común del trabajador en la extinción de la relación laboral No obstante lo dicho, es también muy común que algunos trabajadores, asesorados por abogados, se nieguen a aceptar la indemnización y el finiquito ofrecidos por el empresario, negando igualmente acuerdo alguno en el acto de la conciliación ante el CMAC. Dicha situación, responde al hecho de que, si no se llega a un acuerdo aceptado por ambas partes, el trabajador interpone demanda por nulidad de despido y, en su defecto, la improcedencia, con el fin de conseguir una compensación económica extra, a través de los famosos “salarios de tramitación”. Estos salarios de tramitación estarían formados por la cantidad mensual que al trabajador le correspondería recibir, por el período laboral que dista entre la fecha de despido y la celebración del juicio, aunque el trabajador no hubiese realmente trabajado durante ese período. Así,

puesto que el período normal desde que se interpone una demanda por despido, hasta que se celebra el juicio, suele oscilar de 3 a 5 meses (según carga de trabajo en el juzgado que corresponda), tenemos que el trabajador podría recibir un plus adicional por un importe correspondiente de 3 a 5 meses de trabajo no ejecutados en la realidad, pero que la ley les reconoce. Todo ello, sólo sería posible si en el juicio se reconociese la nulidad o improcedencia del despido. Sin embargo, tenemos que, puesto que existe una realidad y presunción de que la inmensa mayoría de los despidos son improcedentes, nos encontramos con que los jueces, antes de comenzar el asunto, tienen prejuzgado el resultado del mismo en la gran mayoría de los casos, siendo más que previsible una sentencia favorable al trabajador.

Por ello, y puesto que la realidad del día a día nos muestra que el empresario suele negarse a pagar las cantidades exigidas por el trabajador, llegando hasta el día del juicio, lo más prudente para el empresario es reconocer la improcedencia del despido desde el mismo momento del despido, o en su defecto en la conciliación, abonándole las cantidades debidas en concepto de despido y de finiquito. Así, si el trabajador quisiera denunciar, el empresario se ahorraría tener que abonar cantidad alguna por concepto de salario de tramitación. Cuestión esta última bastante sangrante para los empresarios. Ildefonso Ortega Moreno Letrado del Ilustre Colegio de Abogados de Málaga. www.mycconsulting.es om_ildefonso@yahoo.es Tlf: 678874475

Armstrongs looking forward to summer Armstrongs has had a tough time lately with all the floods they’ve had, road closures, landslides, burglaries, etc., the list goes on. However; they are getting back on their feet now and are focusing on the future. They have now planned their entertainment for the summer, with plenty going on and a wide choice so there is something for everyone. You will find the events printed in The Resident each month as well as in other publications. Some special events to mention are “Royal Ascot Ladies Day” which is an all day event on Thursday, 17th June where they will be re-creating the atmosphere and luxury of the real event. Armstrong’s are providing different packages to suit different tastes and budgets and encouraging people to dress up in an effort to win the prizes available for best dressed lady, best dressed man and best lady’s hat! If last year’s event was anything to go by, it will be a fabulous day. Another big event is the Armstrong’s Summer Ball on Saturday, 21st August which will be a fantastic evening of fine food and wine, the best in entertainment and a chance to dust off those lovely evening dresses and suits! A few other things to mention are that they will be running

family nights again this summer on a Wednesday and Thursday evening where a bouncy castle and pool table will be available as well as a special kids’ menu. They are hoping that this will give parents the opportunity to come out for the evening whether it’s for a meal or just for a drink without having to organise a babysitter! The pool table will be available for adults too so pop along for a drink, a chill out in their beautiful garden and challenge your mates to a game! Sunday’s are going to be the ultimate chill out day this year at Armstrongs. They are now open for breakfast from 10 am every Sunday. You can enjoy a full cooked breakfast, just a cup of coffee or go for something in between! They always have a selection of Sunday newspapers available and the garden is ideal for relaxing in the mid morning sunshine. From 1 pm they serve their traditional Sunday roast which has been popular with the locals since the day they opened. They provide an excellent quality, 3 course lunch for only 16.95. The portions are generous and there is plenty of choice. Armstrong’s like to think they have something for everyone so why not try them. For enquiries or to book a table please call 952 892 690

Bloque Nacionalista Andaluz (BNA) El dia 22 de Abril, el partido politico (BNA), Bloque Nacionalista Andaluz, realizo una rueda de prensa en el Hotel H10 de Estepona. Comenzo el secretario General de Andalucia, Pepe Navarro, la adaptación parcial del Plan General de Ordenación Urbana de Estepona de 1.994 a la Ley de Ordenación Urbanística de Andalucía. Este partido político ha presentado nueve alegaciones, entre las que podemos resumir con algunos ejemplos, no aparece el sistema ferroviario, tan solo existe una guardería infantil y una sola residencia de ancianos. señalar que tan sólo se ha desarrollado el previsto para el casco urbano de la ciudad, sin embargo, ni tan siquiera se ha iniciado el previsto para las zonas de extrarradio, volviéndose a marginar al extrarradio. En relación a los usos comerciales, particular interés tiene esta formación política en potenciar el uso de los suelos comerciales, sobre otros como podría ser el del

residencial de lujo, máxime cuando nos encontramos en un momento de crisis económica que determina que ningún inversor tenga como destino esta localidad costasoleña. En relación a los usos industriales. Se trata de un uso muy olvidado en nuestra adaptación parcial del PGOU de 1.994 a la LOUA, pues salvando la zona del Polígono industrial, así como algunos otros pequeños suelos a lo largo de la zona este, como es el Padrón y Cancelada, en lo demás está totalmente olvidado. Guadalobón. Finalmente, advertir que todo este sector está compuesto de campos de golf y residencial en los márgenes de la carretera, sin que este prevista ni un solo dotacional público o siquiera privado ( colegios, pabellones de deporte, ambulatorio, etc), condenando a esta zona del término municipal a depender absolutamente en todo de la zona del casco urbano.

Evento benéfico “Cocina Alemanas”in Estepona Ni la lluvia, ni la tormenta podían frenar nuestros amigos protectores de animales de celebrar un evento benéfico en la tienda Cocinas Alemanas en Estepona. Sandra ReĴkowski, la dueña de Cocinas Alemanas, nos permitió otra vez recibir los amigos de los animales en su tienda, y JuĴa Bauer y su marido Gerd prepararon todo para el bienestar de los huéspedes. Cuando la lluvia se paró y Piet y Uschi instalaron su barbacoa de salchichas en el aire libre, todo el mundo disfrutó enseguida de las freiduras. En el interior de la tienda la gente empezó a moverse por los bonitos canciones de Susan y a bailar. Más de 50 personas participaron: Españoles, Alemanes, Ingleses y amigos de otros países y disfrutaron

del bufete, amplio y rico, y sobre todo las siete tartas les gustaron mucho como postre. Nuestro amigo Alex del restaurante Rilex en Sabinillas había regalado una gran parte de ellas. Todo el mundo disfrutó realmente este día con el buen tiempo que hacía. Nosotros nos quedamos muy contentos con el gran éxito de esta reunión en forma de 430 Euros que van totalmente a BrigiĴboll, nuestra amiga que se ocupa día y noche de los pobres perros durante mucho tiempo, hasta un día se encuentra para cada uno su familia nueva. Con ese dinero podemos comprar el pienso para los meses que vienen. En otras ocasiones habíamos recaudado suficiente dinero para pagar las cuentas del veterinario del año pasado para 14 perros rescatados.

Opening “Cocina Alemanas”in Estepona with Charity buffet

Motorcycle meeting - Estepona Estepona’s ‘Onde Vamos’ Motorcycle Club are organising their 3rd Benefit Meeting in aid of the Fibromialgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Sufferers Association, which will be held at Estepona’s recinto ferial on Sunday, 23rd May from 9 am to 7 pm. Enrolment is from 9 pm to 12 noon after which their will be a ride out down Avda Juan Carlos

I down to the roundabout on Avda España where the convoy will make its way in the direction of Avenida Litoral before turning onto Avenida Andalucia, Calle Caridad before stopping at the Pub Golden Corner for around 45 minutes. At 1.15 the bikers will make their way up Calle Terraza to the junction with Avenida Andalucia where they will turn left heading

for Avda Juan Carlos, Avda Puerto del Mar on their way to Estepona Port where they will stop for an hour. At 2.30 they will leave the Port taking Avda del Carmen until Avda Juan Carlos I once again from where they will return to the recinto ferial at about 2.50 pm. Needless to say these timings are approximate.

Neither rain nor thunderstorm could deter the benefit event for abandoned animals, and Sandra Rettkowski once again hosted the event at her new kitchen studio “Cocinas Alemanas” in Estepona. The event, organised by Jutta and Gerd Bauer, was in aid of rescued dogs and when it finally stopped raining, Uschi and Piet fired up the barbecue outside, and everybody joined the sausage stand attracted by the seductive smell. Inside the kitchen studio the lovely songs performed by Susan, soon had people dancing. Over 50 Spanish, German, British, and other animal lovers

attended and enjoyed the music, the wonderful buffet, and last but not least the seven most delicious tarts sponsored partly by Alex proprietor of the well known restaurant Rilex in Sabinillas. Everybody enjoyed the afternoon in the lovely sunshine, and were very happy when the collection was counted to reveal a grand total of 430 euros which will go to Brigittboll, who fosters many of the dogs, to pay the upcoming pet food bills. In the meantime, it has been possible to pay all the veterinary costs accumulated during the last year for 14 rescued dogs.

Stephen Lloyd-Morgan with The Marbella Concert Orchestra The Summer Event Concerts - El Castillo de la Duquesa

Siguiendo el éxito fenomenal que tuvo el el concierto de Verano el año pasado, este verano habrá dos conciertos dentro de El Castillo de la Duquesa, sábado 24 de julio y Sábado 21 de Agosto, patrocinado y apoyado por Ibex Insurance, Essential Marbella Magazine, Talk Radio Euroque y Fischer Car Group, en colaboración con el Ayuntamiento de Manilva. Los conciertos serán amenizados por el popular Tenor Stephen LloydMorgan con la nueva Marbella Concert Orchestra, dirigida por el renombrado Director Musical Ian Green, con una selección de canciones de Music-Hall, Opera y alguna mezcla, cantados en Inglés, Italiano y en Español. Los artistas invitados también incluirán un repertorio contemporáneo al concierto incluyendo Jazz, Artista internacionalmente reconocida; María Lourdes Benítez, Soprano del El Coro de Ópera de Málaga y Rebecca Tate, finalista del concurso WOW España. El organizador del concierto Nick Holland dice: “ Estamos muy ilusionados de traer Marbella Concert Orchestra para acompañar a Steve este año en los concierto en la Duquesa. Estamos también encantados de que el jazz, que normalmente no se toca

mucho en España, haga presencia en este concierto. El coste de traer una orquesta para que actúe en vivo y en directo, al igual que un espectacular sonido e iluminación en el concierto de este año, ha ocasionado un pequeño aumento en el precio de la entrada. Pero estamos seguros que estas mejoras que hemos realizados con respecto al año pasado serán apreciadas por la audiencia y espero y deseo que sea otra vez un concierto único y exitoso”. Las entradas serán 40 euros, y estarán a la venta a partir del 9 de Junio en Beccy´s Monte Duquesa, Christina´s Cards (Sabinillas), Gli erati Books (Centro Diana Benavista) y en Anglo Wines (Sotogrande) o llamando al teléfono 697 783 n942.

Following the phenomenal success of The Summer Event Concert last year, this summer there will be two concerts inside El Castillo de la Duquesa on Saturday 24th July & Saturday 21st August, sponsored and supported by Ibex Insurance, Essential Marbella Magazine, Talk Radio Europe & Fischer Car Group, and in collaboration with the Ayuntamiento de Manilva. The concerts will star popular Tenor Stephen Lloyd-Morgan with the new and specially formed 16-piece Marbella Concert Orchestra, conducted by renowned Musical Director Ian Green, with a selection of songs from Musical Theatre, Opera and Cross-Over, sung in English, Italian and Spanish. Special guest artists also bringing an eclectic and contemporary repertoire to the event include Yazz, International Recording Artist; Maria Lourdes Benitez, Soprano from El Coro de Ópera de Málaga and Rebecca Tate, Spain´s WOW Factor Runner-up amongst others still to be announced. Event organiser Nick Holland said, “We are very excited about bringing the Marbella

Concert Orchestra to accompany Steve at this year´s concerts in Duquesa. We are also delighted that Yazz, who very rarely performs in Spain, has agreed to join the special guest line-up. The costs incurred by bringing a live orchestra, as well as a more spectacular sound and lighting show this year, has resulted in an increased ticket price. But we are certain the sweeping improvements we have made since last year to both the content and staging of the concerts will be appreciated by the audiences and hope will lead to another very unique and successful event!” Tickets, €40, will go on sale from 9th June, from Beccy´s, Monte Duquesa; Christina´s Cards, Sabinillas; Glitterati Books, Centro Diane Benavista & Anglo Wines, Sotogrande or call 697 783 942.

La protectora de animales de Estepona, ADANA, se ve desbordada tras el abandono masivo de cachorros. Nada menos que 30 perritos han llegado a sus instalaciones en las últimas dos semanas. Primero fue un grupo de 5 cachorros de tres días que fueron encontrados en mitad de la carretera en el polígono industrial. No había rastro de su madre. “Acabábamos de empezar a hacer llamadas para encontrar voluntarios que pudieran criar a los cachorros a biberón cuando llegó otro coche que nos traía una perra hallada en la carretera de Casares. Ésta había perdido sus cachorros y tenía mucha leche: un verdadero golpe de suerte para los cachorros encontrados, ya que la perra los acogió de inmediato”, explica Helen Ellis, voluntaria de ADANA. Pocos días después llegaron otros 10 cachorros de un cruce de mastín. Estaban muy débiles y dos de ellos no sobrevivieron, pero los demás se han recuperado y están creciendo rápido. Inmediatamente después

se recibieron cinco recién nacidos que el camion de la basura encontró en un cubo. Apodados los “Bucketeers” (de bucket: cubo, en inglés), están sanos y fuertes. Todos estos cachorros necesitan encontrar un hogar y la mayoría están listos para dejar ADANA ya. “Cuidamos de más de 150 perros ahora mismo y siempre necesitamos ayuda. Si no fuera por ADANA, estos cachorros no hubieran sobrevivido. Su futuro y el de todos los perros adultos depende por completo de donativos y de la generosidad de los voluntarios que los cuidan”, dice Janet Greenstreet, presidenta de ADANA. “Lejos de desaparecer, el problema del maltrato y el abandono de animales está empeorando cada mes. Apelamos a la solidaridad de todos aquellos que puedan contribuir con ADANA, ya sea con donativos o con ratos libres que puedan dedicar al cuidado de los perros. Pueden contactar con ADANA en el 952 113 467 o por email: info@adana.es”.

The Estepona animal rescue charity, ADANA, has been inundated with abandoned puppies. Over the last two weeks a total of 30 puppies have been brought to the kennels. First was a litter of 5 two day old pups found in the middle of the road in the poligono. There was no sign of their mother “We had just started phoning around to see if we could find volunteers to hand rear the pups when another car arrived with a female dog found on the Casares road. The dog had lost its pups and was heavy with milk. We put her with the pups and she has adopted them as her own”, said Helen Ellis, an ADANA volunteer. It was their lucky day. A few days later a litter of 10 Mastin cross pups arrived. They were not very well and two have died but the others are growing rapidly. Hot on their heels came 5 more very young pups found in a

bucket by the basura in Estepona. “The Bucketeers” are all healthy and growing well. All of these puppies need to find loving homes and most are ready to go now. “We have over 150 dogs in our care at the moment and we are always in need of help to keep going. Without ADANA these little puppies would not have survived. Their future and that of all the other adult dogs is entirely reliant on donations from the public and the goodwill of the volunteers who look after them”, said Janet Greenstreet, President of ADANA. “Far from decreasing, the problem of mistreatment and abandonment of pets is getting worse every month. We need any help we can get whether it comes in the form of giving a few hours to help or whatever cash can be spared. Please contact ADANA on 952 113 467 or at info@ adana.es”

JOHN MALKOVICH, The Infernal Comedy

CINE CLUB ESTEPONA Centro Cultural Padre Manuel, C/ San Fernando, Estepona Todos los jueves el cine club proyecta algunas de las mejores pelicículas de alredor del mundo, dandoles a los aficionados la oportunidad de saborear el talento de los actores y directores de muchas países diferentes. Las películas se muestran en su version original con subtitulos españoles. La entrada es de solo 3 euros. Every Thursday Cine Club screens some of the best films from around the world, giving film fans the opportunity to sample the talents of filmmakers and actors from many different countries. Films are shown in their original language with Spanish subtitles. Entrance is only 3 euros.

Domingo, 23 Mayo, 20.30h El actor, productor y director cinematográfico norteamericano John Malkovich, reconocido como uno de los más sólidos, carismáticos y versátiles intérpretes de su generación, nos cuenta en primera persona la vida del asesino en serie Jack Unterweger. Unterweger estranguló en 1974 a una joven de 18 años en Salzburgo por lo que fue condenado a cadena perpetua. En la cárcel empezó a escribir, según sus propias palabras, para no volverse loco, y sus textos, especialmente su autobiografía y sus poemas, tuvieron una sorprendente acogida entre los intelectuales de lengua germana. Pronto se crearon comités para solicitar que se le conmutara la pena y lo más granado de la intelectualidad austríaca firmó peticiones de excarcelación, incluida la que sería premio Nobel de Literatura en 2004, Elfriede Jelinek. Liberado en 1990 gracias a una campaña internacional que defendía su supuesta rehabilitación, Unterweger siguió escribiendo y asesinando prostitutas en los años siguientes. En 1994, el FBI lo captura

en Miami. Deportado a Austria, se suicida el primer día su vuelta a prisión al no soportar la condena a cadena perpetua. Unterweger relata su vida desde el infierno en lo que parece una relectura de Don Juan aderezada con toques de humor pero transitando hacia el drama más negro conforme avanza. La música de Vivaldi, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Boccherini, Weber y Glück ilustra esta sorprendente bajada a los infiernos. Malkovich afirma que The Infernal Comedy intenta explicar el perfil de Jack Unterweger y hacer comprender el motivo de sus actos, aunque “es imposible decir por qué los asesinos en serie matan”, tras lo que ha especulado que, posiblemente, “les gusta matar”.

The Infernal Comedy Sunday, 23rd May, 8.30 pm ‘The Infernal Comedy’ is a stage dramaconcert for a Baroque-Orchestra, two Sopranos and one actor. It is based on the real-life story of Austrian, Jack Unterweger, played by John Malkovich, a convicted murderer and acclaimed poet, who became a celebrated author and journalist, after being pardoned. A notorious womanizer, and prime example of reintegration, he gradually became the main suspect in the murder of a growing number of prostitutes. Having fled Vienna, he was arrested in Miami, extradited and finally committed suicide in prison after being convicted of murder in eleven cases. ‘The Infernal Comedy’ gives the audience the chance to meet Unterweger during one of this lectures, this time in the underworld. It is the lecture of his “real” autobiography.

Imaginar su muerte le da de repente un nuevo significado a su vida, a la vida de otras personas e, incluso, a la vida de toda la ciudad. Vendedores de fruta y verdura, una mujer que regenta una panadería, un trabajador social, una bailarina, un arquitecto, un sin techo, un profesor de universidad, una modelo, un inmigrante ilegal de Camerún... En Francés subtitulada en Español Pierre, a professional dancer, suffers from a serious heart disease. While he is waiting for a transplant which may (or may not) save his life, he has nothing better to do than look at the people around him, from the balcony of his Paris apartment.

Foreign Residents Association of Estepona In 2009 the Asociacion de Residentes del Extranjeros del Municipio de Estepona (AREME) decided to open up Membership to all non-Spanish residents or home owners of Estepona as opposed to the heads of various foreign groups. This move changed a membership level of 20 people (but theoretically representing some 3,000 residents) to include all foreigners dwelling in Estepona. The aim being to provide Members with ‘greater ínfluence’ in the Town Hall. AREME is a non-political organization which considers the strategic influence it can bring to developments within the Estepona community. It is not a ´Citizens Advice Bureau´ and can not represent individual concerns, but it can point Members in the right direction.

It is hoped that all foreign people living or working in Estepona will become Members of the Association so they can come together, as a group, to be a voice in the Community. More than a quarter of those living in Estepona are foreigners and as such should have more consideration and assistance from the Town Hall. The annual Membership Fee is only 1 euro and it represents good value. If everyone joinx the Association there will be enough (imports to Spain!) to influence matters affecting this section of the community in the Town Hall. So join AREME now - it is very important that you have a voice in these difficult times.

Age Concern, Estepona and Manilva Age Concern’s Australian Christmas As the sun has appeared it must be the time to mention Christmas – not the one in December but the Australian one that Age Concern is having on Friday June 25th at Armstrongs Restaurant in Sabinillas. What better time to have a fun filled lunch with a full, typical, Christmas dinner, a pantomime (albeit a short one), a raffle, along with the odd surprise. We believe that Santa may appear as he will be in the area for his summer break! The cost will be 17 euros per person for volunteers and Friends of Age Concern, 19 euros for all other guests. To make a reservation please call 951 318 234 and leave your details, or call Richard on 952 913 174 or email tonyaldous55@ yahoo.co.uk. It all starts at 1.30 pm for 2 pm, and places will go quickly – so do not delay, phone today. Sponsored Walk Thirty intrepid walkers strode out on Sunday May 2nd to raise much needed funds for Age Concern. Walkers had a

choice of a short or long walk – the latter going up to the castillo del nicio where wonderful views of the Costa del Sol and inland mountains awaited. The walk raised 1,000€ to support the Age Concern volunteers working with older people in the community. IBEX insurance sponsored the walk and Age Concern is extremely grateful to them and their walkers. Thanks also go to Richard and Julie who organised the event as well as to all who walked. Lifeline For elderly people who require help or advice Age Concern operate a telephone service called Lifeline. This gives the individual a direct point of contact with the charity. The telephone number is 650163928. It should be noted that Age Concern is not an emergency service. There is also an email address where you can contact Age Concern, Estepona and Manilva.

Que alguien te espera al final del camino

Soluciones Puzzle Page Solutions Fácil Easy

Tengo que cruzar por donde están esas ramas, dardos venenosos, adelfas embramadas con zarzales, para llegar a Casares, y después a Estepona. Hay peligro en hacerlo pero no puedo en modo alguno dejar de realizarlo, porque me espera al final del trayecto, la dulce Eulalia. Allá voy… Me espera también la mujer de Pedrito, Nora, que tuvo cinco hĳos y nueve abortos. El marido de Nora se compró una soga a los cincuenta y seis años, porque decía que si sus hĳos, en la vejez, lo trasladaban a un asilo, se ahorcaba. El marido de Nora decía eso, pero del dicho al hecho hay un trecho, aunque con él nunca se sabe, es un hombre que siempre cumplió con su palabra. Cuando llegue, campo traviesa –todavía me faltan más de veinte quilómetros–, le recomendaré a Pedrito que deje de pensar en el futuro y, una vez más, nos beberemos el vino abocado, en la calabriada que más le gusta a él hacer con los caldos. Veo un sapo espachurrado, y me acuerdo de Pedrito y sus cosas (no me acuerdo de él por el sapo, sino por lo cómico de su postura, aunque siento lástima de ese anfibio), porque el hombre últimamente no deja de sorprender a familia y vecinos, aunque no puedo ni por un instante dejar de pensar en la dulce Eulalia, ella es como un pensamiento por encima de otros que voy teniendo, es pensamiento sobremesa. Me estoy cansando (he andado tanto que me he salido del campo), debería plantearme un descanso, quizás en aquella piedra que brilla a lo lejos, donde el sol quiere poner un ángel de luz, o tal vez descanse bajo ese eucalipto. La soledad es mala compañera pero redime de muchas cuestiones, porque sale de ti el otro que en ti habita y comienzas a distinguir contradicciones en muchos sucesos, o eso parece, ambigüedades que solamente la paz de un viaje, como un seminario, como un camino de Santiago, establece a tu mente y a tu espíritu. Pero me dejaré de filosofías. Además, no dejo de pensar mientras camino, y eso no es bueno, más bien debería meditar. Un pájaro, creo que es un arrendajo, sí, con una bellota en el pico, me hace gracia, porque parece volar sin mucho sentido, aunque lo más probable es que trate de esconder su fruto, horticultor de otoño; sí, lo hace mientras estoy en estas reflexiones. Suena mi móvil (lo que faltaba para la desconcentración), mira por donde, es la hĳa de la dulce

Eulalia, que mientras se lavaba los dientes pensaba en el presupuesto de la casa que su novio y ella quieren construir, y me llama ahora, para saber si puedo ayudarla con los planos, al demonio ahora con el móvil, con los planos, con todo (aunque es evidente, la necesidad de ese artilugio para la comunicación en ocasiones urgentes, y así pueda salvarnos de cualquier contrariedad. Y desde luego, antes, sin teléfono móvil, existía la comunicación, y era tan explícita como ahora.) Me da por pensar que iré primero a ver a Nora, antes que a la dulce Eulalia, además, así me asearé antes de visitar a mi amada, que Pedrito y Nora aprecien mi corazón de caminante con el olor de este ramo de tomillo que les entregaré, porque a Nora le tengo reservada un ramo de rosas silvestres. Nora anda preocupada últimamente, cree que su marido no está muy bien de la cabeza. Ella teme que termine como su suegro. Al suegro de Nora, político, alto y con bigote negro, nariz achatada y cejas grandes, fachoso y malcarado, le llaman el Pupitre (un apodo que le puso un concejal, amigo, y más tarde, enemigo, como suele pasar con muchos de los que se dedican a este oficio de la política), porque escribía sus discursos gubernamentales a la entrada del Ayuntamiento, justo en el porche, en un escritorio que mandó él mismo construir en su época de concejal. Cuando pasaba la gente del pueblo y se ocupaba en esos menesteres, algunos le preguntaban: “¿Cómo va eso?” “¡Ciudadano, tú no sabes lo que me inspira la calle! ¡Voy a crear turbación en mis adversarios!”, decía en voz alta. Y lo más gracioso es que ensayaba los discursos en plena calle, llevando siempre su carpeta repleta de hojas escritas, sin orden, ilegible para cualquiera que no fuera él mismo. Una vez, le arrojaron tomates, en un mitin que, resultó ser menos gráfico para el Pupitre de lo que hubiera querido su oponente. “Ese se ha rajado”, pensaba en voz alta. En otra ocasión, eran los principios de la democracia, después de la muerte de Franco, en pleno discurso de Martínez, el candidato opositor, El Pupitre se ocupó en espantar varias vacas, que corrían plaza abajo, hasta llegar a la playa, atravesando sillas, pisando banderines y embistiendo a los puestos de publicidad. Nora, sabía que a su marido le molestaba que hablaran de su padre, no tanto de los inicios de la democracia, y sobre todo,

le fastidiaba que los de su generación recordaran con chanza los disparates que su suegro hizo en aquellos años, y es que algunos de esos sucesos habían quedado en la memoria del pueblo democrático ya para siempre (sin reconocer que el humor eleva la libertad de los pueblos), como el día que fue a votar con una pistola y doce duros, que nunca supo nadie el porqué de los doce duros, pero que él, reveló a su esposa: la pistola era porque lo amenazaron de muerte, y los doce duros porque debía pagar un rescate simbólico si no quería Nivel Medio Medium morir en el instante de introducir el voto en la urna. El suegro sospechó que quien quería asesinarlo era un tío de Nora, pero Nora, alterada y mucho más joven, sin ser todavía su nuera, le dĳo que su tío se había quedado sin ninguna fuerza, por la droga, y que se encontraba ya en los últimos momentos de su vida, y que no tenía sentido que le quisiera hacer la puñeta. Cuando se retiró de la política, el suegro de Nora, se despidió de sus compañeros, expresando su rechazo a todos los Difícil Hard que querían seguir ejerciendo en el poder por encima de la propia democracia, convirtiendo a ésta en una dictadura blanda. Al suegro de Nora, se le veía después con la cabeza siempre apoyada en la mano como señal de puro aburrimiento, en una pérdida de interés por casi todo, y su hĳo temía que le hubiese llegado la senilidad antes de tiempo. Me espera la dulce Eulalia y Nora. En realidad, quien espera siempre es el pueblo, los amigos, la amada, los conocidos, puede que estén o no estén y, si están, ¿me esperarán?, quizás sí o quizás no. (Los pensamientos vienen y van, pero los amigos, siguen haciendo que vivas por tus propias ideas.) Seguiré la senda, porque la dulce Eulalia, seguro es, la que con más ansiedad me aguarda, ella y su manantial de amor, su flor de amor y su canción teosófica, de una divinidad que me resulta a mí que emana de ella misma. ¡Oh Eulalia, ya queda tan poco para llegar a tu cielo de carne!

British Consulate Pension, Benefit and Healthcare Team European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) Update There has been some confusion around the new process for applying for the EHIC and the nature of its use. Please be assured that, if you are registered for healthcare as stated above, you are now entitled to the UKissued card and do not need to return it to the Department of Health. Also remember that this card is only for use when you are on a temporary visit outside your country of residence and is not for use in Spain. Your normal medical cover in Spain is not affected in any way. If you are experiencing problems in getting your UK-issued EHIC, please contact the Overseas Healthcare Team on 0044 191 218 1999. Those of you who are resident in Spain and registered for healthcare under an E121 or E109 form, and your dependants, should now be aware that as from 1st May you apply to the UK for your European Health Insurance Card, rather than to Spain. Employment Support Allowance (ESA) ESA is a UK benefit for people who cannot work due to illness or disability. It was introduced in October 2008 to replace incapacity benefit for new applicants. The focus of ESA is different to that of incapacity benefit. Rather than looking at what a person

cannot do, the emphasis is on providing support to help the customer back into appropriate work, if they are able. ESA involves a medical assessment called a Work Capability Assessment which looks at what the person can do and the personalised support they require. If you suffer from an illness or disability that affects your ability to work, and you have worked in the UK in the last 3 years, you may be entitled to ESA. Contact the International Pension Centre on 0044 191 218 7122 for details on how to apply. However, if you last worked in Spain, you could be entitled to Spanish benefit. Apply at your local INSS office (www.seg-social. es) making sure you include all periods of work in the UK on your application form.

How do I apply for the card? By internet or by post - You can collect the application form from the local Town Hall, Social Services Office or Day Centre, or download from www.juntadeandalucia.es/ fundaciondeserviciossociales.

Costa Advice Bureau by Myra Azzopardi Legality of your insurance policy It is perfectly legal to have your vehicle insured by a British insurance company registered to operate in Spain. There are legal criterions that need to be met. The group should be able to provide you with a Spanish translation of your covering documents. If this is not the case, consider having a notorised translation of the same. By law you should also carry proof of payment of the policy. There is a greater possibility of being allowed to continue on your journey if the various police authorities could read you indemnity credentials. Padron changes You may have already noticed the drive to encourage you to vote in the 2011 municipal elections. You can only do so if you are registered on the padron. Adding your names to this list a will also allow you and your family to avail of the multiple advantages of being on the census. The rules regarding the census appear to have been changed. You will now not need to be a registered as a resident to be on the padron but Spain should be your habitual

residence. This implies that you reside in the country for a period of six months or more in any given year. Please note that you are now expected to renew this document every second year. Casa del Campo registration deadline There are a multitude of casas del campo dotted around the provinces which have not been registered on an escritura (title deeds). The autonomous government had given one months notice to be able to inscribe your property. The deadline was the 7th of May of this year. The authorities clearly stated that after this date your dwelling would be considered illegal and with no possibility of changing its status. No one would be willing to buy a property that does not possess a title deed. We are looking at the options that may be available to those who have not as yet recorded their home.

ACHES and PAINS What is pain?

It is an attention grabbing message which travels to the brain along our nerves and our nerves are all safely embedded within our body’s muscles. What causes pain? Pain has just 3 causes. A nerve is; 1) diseased, 2) injured or 3) it is being squashed. If you are not diseased and not injured but still you have pain, then your nerves are being squashed by your own seizing muscles. When seizing muscles tighten, they squeeze our nerves and we ache. When muscles seize, they squash our nerves and we feel pain. But the GOOD NEWS is SEIZED MUSCLES CAN BE CURED

CRAMP, TINGLES, NUMBNESS,VARICOSE VEINS These are all signs of seized muscles squashing our blood vessels and causing an interrupted blood supply. Our 100,000km or 60,000 miles of blood vessels, both arteries and veins all exist safely embedded within our muscles’ fibres. When our muscles seize and tighten then our veins are squeezed upwards to the muscle’s surface, creating “varicose veins” and our arteries become squashed deep inside, restricting our blood supply and causing it to slow.

And the GOOD NEWS is VARICOSE VEINS CAN BE CURED When an artery is being squashed and blood flow reduced, we experience “numbness” in our arms, hands, legs and feet as they, lacking in blood, “go to sleep”. When the blood comes flooding back then we get the “tingling” of “pins and needles” as the area refills with blood.

What Causes Cramp?

El ganador de los 100€ en juguetes de la tienda Alexanders fue Javier Fontiveros Marín de 5 años. A la derecha junto con el, su hermano de 10 años, Pedro. The winner of 100€ worth of toys in last month’s Alexander’s Toyshop competition was Javier Fontiveros Marin (age 5) pictured here on the left, with his brother Pedro (aged 10) on the right.

2º Campeonato Kitesurf Estepona

Parásitos en el corazón y Prevención

El Ayuntamiento de Estepona, a través de la delegación municipal de Playas, informa que el próximo sábado, a partir de las 14:00 horas, tendrá lugar en la Playa de Guadalmansa el 2º Campeonato Kitesurf Estepona. Según ha explicado Raúl Idígoras, presidente de la Asociación Kitesurfing Estepona, A.K.E., las pruebas se realizarán en distintas modalidades: Freestyle, Race, Big Jump, Best Kiteloop, y Exhibición. Actividades:

Los parásitos en el corazón o Dirofilariasis es una enfermedad mortal causada por parásitos, principalmente afecta a los perros, aunque también se han dado casos, no muy frecuentes, en gatos y en hurones, es transmitida por un perro afectado debido a la picadura de un mosquito. El parásito es un gusano adulto que vive en las arterias del corazón y en el mismo corazón. Las hembras adultas producen larvas, las cuales los mosquitos las cogen cuando muerden un animal infectado. Esta larva se desarrolla en el mosquito, y en 2-3 semanas el mosquito al morder a otro animal, lo infecta. Esta larva en el perro, viaja a través del sistema circulatorio al corazón donde madura y completa el ciclo de vida. Este proceso lleva aproximadamente seis meses; un perro infectado puede servir de reserva a todo el

vecindario, ninguna raza está inmune. Su veterinario puede detectar la enfermedad si usted vive y/o ha viajado a una zona infectada por mosquitos y lleva su mascota con los siguientes síntomas: difi cultad respiratoria, tos, cansancio, flacidez y pérdida de peso. Otros problemas tienen también los mismos síntomas. El único diagnóstico definitivo es realizando una analítica de sangre, que la mayoría de los veterinarios pueden realizar en sus propias consultas. Si el resultado es positivo, se debe de empezar tan pronto como sea posible un tratamiento. Sobre el 90% de los perros tratados por esta enfermedad sobreviven. Si el perro da negativo o una vez que el perro afectado se haya curado, se deben tomar medidas preventivas. Esta es una enfermedad que su perro puede verse

afectado e incluso si no vive en una zona identifi cada como que hay este tipo de parásitos, su mascota puede traerlo a casa incluso de unas vacaciones o si ha ido a una zona afectada. Actualmente, se están llevando a cabo investigaciones en muchas fases de esta enfermedad. Hasta ahora y recientemente, en los últimos años, la única medida preventiva disponible era una medicación por vía oral que se debía administrar mensualmente. En la actualidad podemos administrar una vacuna anual contra esta enfermedad, lo cual es una gran ventaja sobre todo aquí, debido al clima y a la temporada de mosquitos. Hablando sobre esta enfermedad con su veterinario y tomando unas medidas de prevención en su caso, estos parásitos no deben de ser un problema ni para usted ni para su mascota.

wakeboard y simulador de kite. El objetivo es “fomentar este deporte, cuyas playas reúnen las mejores condiciones, tras las playas de Tarifa”. Por su parte, la concejala de Playas, Carmen Ocaña, ha manifestado que Estepona contará con una Escuela Municipal de Kitesurf en Guadalmansa. Organiza: El Ayuntamiento de Estepona, A.K.E. (Asociación Kitesurfing Estepona) y Heaven BeachBar.

There will also be a number of activities such as wakeboard and kite simulator.

Heartworm and Prevention Heartworm or Dirofilariasis is a potentially fatal parasitic disease that primarily affects dogs, ferrets and cats very rarely also been affected, and is transmitted from an affected dog by the bite of a mosquito. The parasite is a roundworm, which as an adult lives in some of the blood vessels around the heart and in the heart itself. The mature female produces free-swimming larvae, which the mosquito picks up when it bites an affected animal. This larva develops in the mosquito and in 2-3 weeks becomes infective for other dogs bitten by said mosquito. This larvae, back in a dog, travels through the blood stream to the heart where it matures and completes its life cycle. This process takes about six months; one infested dog can be a reservoir for an entire

neighbourhood, no breed is immune. Your veterinarian would suspect this disease if you live and/or have travelled to a mosquito infested area and bring in your pet with some of the following symptoms: laboured breathing, coughing, tires easily, listless and/or weight loss. These may be symptoms of other problems as well. The only definitive diagnosis is reached by a blood test that most veterinarians can carry out in their surgeries. If the test is positive, a treatment program should be initiated as soon as possible. Over 90% of dogs treated for this disease survive. If the dog is negative or once an affected dog is cured preventative measures should be instituted. This is one disease your dog may be affected by even if you do not live in an area identified as having

heartworms, your pet could bring this home from a holiday or an outing to an affected area. Presently, much research is being done with many phases of this disease. Up until only recently, within the last few years, the only preventative measure available was an oral medication, which had to be taken on a monthly basis. We now can offer an annual vaccination against this disease, which has its advantages here due to our climate and seasonality of the mosquito vector. By discussing this disease with your veterinarian and instituting the optimum preventative measures in your case, heartworm need not be a problem for you or threaten your pet. Ronald Rosenfeld D.V.M.

El ciclista sanroqueño de mountain bike Raúl Mena finalizaba en cuarto puesto en la 4ª prueba del Open de España de Mountain Bike que ha tenido lugar en el majestuoso paraje de Vall de Lord, junto al Pirineo Catalán. El ciclista sanroqueño del AOS Tarifa no lo tuvo nada fácil en esta nueva prueba del circuito nacional, ya que el trazado fue más exigente de lo esperado. Sin embargo,

la intensa lluvia, la horquilla de su bici rota y una caída a un barranco, no ha sido un impedimento para que Raúl Mena quedara quinto en categoría en sub 23, y de esta forma adelantar puestos en la general; ahora cuarto a falta de dos pruebas. Mena ha empleado un crono de 2 horas 2 minutos. La próxima cita para el de San Roque es en Coín donde correrá en una nueva prueba del provincial de Málaga.

U Estepona CF secure their place in Segunda B With two matches left to play a second half goal was enough to give Estepona victory against Marbella and ensure their place in next season’s Segundo B. The 1 – 0 scoreline rather flattered the visitors as Estepona had numerous opportunities in front of goal and had by far the most possession. Marbella had a couple of shots saved, but showed all the body language of a side already relegated.

Estepona went on to draw 1-all with Betis B in the final match, finishing the season in tenth place out of the twenty teams, a position that hid the dramas of the first half of the season which had seen financial problems and an offer of resignation from the President Eugenio Muñoz. Fans can now enjoy the summer sure in the knowledge that their team has more than earned its place in the Segunda B.

Great performance of the Arsenal school at the Emirates The U10s team that travelled to London this weekend to take part at the Arsenal’s 3 v 3 competition put on a great performance and managed to get to the final, after having won 5 matches and drawn 2. The 4 boys from Gibraltar, Casares and Guadiaro couldn’t imagine they could beat all teams in their way which included squads from the UK, Denmark, Greece, Turkey and Bahrain. After 2 hours of tournament and more than hundred games, the U10s reached the final facing a team from England. Although they got off to a bad start, they managed to equal the game and got a draw seconds

before its end. However, due to the event rules, the English team was crowned champions. Coaches and players were satisfied with the results though as they had the chance to experience what is like to play at the Emirates under the gaze of hundreds of spectators. It is the aim of the Arsenal Soccer School in Sotogrande to give the boys the opportunity to live a unique and once in a life time experience and keep working hard to achieve their sporting objectives within the Costa del Sol community.
