Tragedy in Marbella
By Matt Ford Marbella Council has announced three days of official mourning and suspended all incidents on the municipal calendar in the wake of the tragic death of a two-year-old boy on a city centre street. The youngster died after falling three metres from a section of pavement with a missing railing in the La Patera neighbourhood. He suffered a serious head injury in the fall on Friday, October 7 and although doctors at the Malaga Maternal and Children’s Hospital were able to

keep him alive for three days, he eventually succumbed just after 6pm on Monday. The tragedy occurred when his police officer father collected him from nursery at 3pm and the two of them headed towards the family car which was parked nearby. As they approached Calle Conde de Casal, where the street widens into a small square, the child apparently ran away from his father in the direction of the fence, which overlooks a car park, before crashing through the small space left by the absent barrier. The father managed to get a
local resident to stop his car and rush them to the Costa del Sol Hospital, where medics made the decision to airlift the child to Malaga. He remained in intensive care without regaining consciousness before he died. The catastrophe led to an outpouring of emotion in La Patera, where residents raised vociferous complaints regarding the broken fence, which they claim has been that way for more than three years. The brother of the driver who helped the family immediately after the accident said: “He was coming into the street and saw a hysterical man carry-
ing a child with his hands covered in blood, so he took him to the hospital. “This [broken railing] is not one or two days, it has taken years, we have asked for it to be fixed several times, and now we have this tragedy... it takes two minutes to weld a bar.”

Deserter detained MALAGA police have arrested a 27-year-old British man under a European Arrest Warrant, who has been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for a number of different offences in the UK.
The offences include VAT fraud totalling €30,000, use of false documents, driving a stolen vehicle and possessing a fake passport. He is in custody awaiting extradition back to Britain.
Additional beds MIJAS now has 2,100 additional beds for tourists available, all of which have been created in the last two months following the release of a new certificate by the town council. The measure is designed for homeowners who do not possess a ‘first occupation’ licence, and allows them to be placed on the Junta de Andalucia’s official tourist accommodation list.

Too little too late, or better late than never? By Matthew Elliott BRITISH citizens who live permanently overseas will be afforded a ‘vote for life’ under new plans announced by the government. ‘A democracy that works for everyone’ aims to scrap the rule that previously barred expats who have lived abroad for more than 15 years from voting in general elections and key referenda. Although obviously a welcome move, the timing could hardly be less helpful. It comes after, and largely due to, perhaps the most significant voting exercise any one of us will experience in our lifetimes – the Brexit referendum – which, despite desperate legal challenges, blocked long-term expats from participating. The changes mean that eligible British citizens will have the right to vote only in parliamentary elections. Future referenda, whether on Scottish independence or future tra d e a g r e e m e n t s , w ill s ee th e franchise extended on a ‘case-bycase’ basis. “Their stake in our country must be respected. This government will not de n y t h e m t h e o p p o rtu n ity to have their say in the way their country is governed,” writes minister for the constitution Chris Skidmore, with patriotic fervour. Coming from a man who co-authored a book deriding British people as being “among the worst idlers in the wo r l d , ” t h e wo r d s co u ld b e thought of as ringing a little hollow. The government has been in power since 2010, unrestrained by coalition since 2015, and volunteered the referendum of its own accord, with ample time to implement their ‘manifesto commitment’ to establish votes for life. Skidmore notes that he is ‘delighted’ to publish the plans, which are set to be in force by the 2020 general election, and one can only presume from the tone that British expats
The majority of UK constituencies remain safe seats where the addition of a few hundred expat votes will make a negligible difference.”
across the world should prepare for a charm offensive as the date approaches. The re is no m ent i on of changi ng t he British electoral system to make voting as an expat worthwhile, save as an exercise of democratic responsibility. Previously disenfranchised expats will now be able to apply to vote in the constituency in which they were last registered. So if you were last down to vote in Wigan or Dundee East then you’ll now be able to help choose your ‘local’ MP. Of course the vast majority of UK constituencies remain safe seats where the addition of a few hundred expat votes will make a negligible difference. Compared to the thousands of local votes, will the elected MP feel any responsibility or fealty to the minuscule expat community who may or may not have voted for them? It’s a strange form of democracy. One that grandly offers a vote teetering on the edge of irrelevance to expats, who have been denied a say in perhaps the one issue that will have a direct impact on their lives abroad. Needless to say the government has issued standardised advice in the aftermath of the B rexi t vot e t hat essent i al l y a mounts to ‘keep cal m and car r y on,’ while expats are left to search vainly for answers to the crucial questions of the next few years. Whether it’s pensions, healthcare, taxation or employment, the changes that will come with Brexit will be settled in negotiating rooms in Brussels and Westminster, and set in stone by the time 2020 comes around. MPs have already been told they will not get the final vote two years after March 2017 on whether to back Brexit. Unable to participate in Spain’s general elections, stripped of a say in Britain’s most important decision in generations, and now offered a vote in an election that could be four years away, it’s little wonder many expats feel their government has abandoned them.

On the buses A MAN has been sentenced to three years in prison after being caught with almost 500 grammes of cocaine in his rucksack at Malaga bus station. He had apparently just stepped off a coach from Madrid but attracted the suspicions of a police patrol due to his furtive behaviour.
By Matthew Elliott WHILE New York Times visited the Costa del Sol and waxed lyrical about the quickly evolving property scene, local tourism chief Elias Bendodo lead a Spanish contingent to the Big Apple as part of a promotional campaign. The Costa del Sol offensive on American investors and tourists has been steadily gaining ground since the financial crisis slowly dissipated and the dividends are finally paying off. Exploring the region and explaining its history and quirks to its primarily American readership, the New York Times, perhaps the world’s most iconic newspaper, has declared the Costa del Sol a place to watch closely. Their analysis takes in the full spectrum of opportunities from Nerja to Algeciras and the authors recognise Marbella as the ‘heart and soul’ of the coast. They point to an increasing mix of foreign property buyers now hailing from Belgium, Russia, and, more than ever, America and China. Each year the number of US holidaymakers visiting the Costa del Sol has steadily grown, with more than a million crossing the Atlantic to Andalucia last year alone.

Thieves nicked FOUR young Spaniards and a fifth person of Armenian nationality have been arrested for allegedly committing at least 17 robberies in Malaga. The crimes include two shop thefts, one in the street, three robberies of private homes, four in storage spaces and garages, five cars and two bicycles.
MARBELLA: The heart and soul of the Costa del Sol. Not content with the bumper 2016 summer, the Costa del Sol tourism board has set its sights on America as a future market that could transform the region from a seasonally successful destination to somewhere packed full of visitors throughout the year. Their coordinated mission begins in New York and will spread right across
the prairies to the west coast as the board hopes to secure lucrative funding contracts with golf clubs, airlines, travel agencies and event managers. Nor do they plan on stopping with America. While Bendodo plies his trade in the US, director general of the tourism board Arturo Bernal has flown to the Far East for a whistle-stop tour
of Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. None of those countries have much obvious connection with the Costa del Sol but the eagle-eyed operators at the tourist board see lucrative opportunities, not necessarily from tourists, but from the huge business conference industry that brings in billions each year.

Briton convicted of benefit fraud A PENSIONER who lived on the Costa del Sol but claimed to be living in Merseyside in order to claim benefits, has been convicted of fraud. The 70-year-old was found guilty of defrauding the UK benefits system of nearly £15,140 over four years. Despite claiming he lived in a Lancashire village, he had been living in Benalmadena. A Merseyside court heard a woman posed as his sister to claim money for him, asking for it to be paid into her account as he didn’t have one. It was discovered she was a
former partner with whom he once had a child. She then transferred the money to his account in Spain allowing him to continue living in a property investigators proved he half owned. They began looking into the man’s finances in Spain and the UK in 2015. The court ordered him to repay the money in full but suspended a 12-week prison sentence for 18 months. The woman was ordered to be electronically tagged for 10 weeks and observe a curfew.

Boquerones and beer celebrations By Matt Ford THAT most quintessential of Spanish beers, San Miguel, has launched a special edition Malaga can to honour the 50th birthday of its factory in the provincial capital. Replete with the slogan ‘50 years being anchovies’ (Spanish: 50 años siendo boquerones), the commemorative can also features an image of a golden Mediterranean boqueron, the little fish that forms such an integral part of the local culture. The brand released a statement describing the can as “a nod to everything that it means to be Malagueño” and “feeling boqueron,” with the beer and the city having shared close links since 1966. Restaurants, bars and hotels will also be supplied with bottles carrying the same decoration, of which seven million units have been produced, while the limited edition cans can be picked up in larger stores and supermarkets.

Leaked report opens wounds BREXIT PAGE By Matthew Elliot and Simon Firth FOLLOWING Theresa May’s decision to set March next year as the date to invoke Article 50, leaked papers suggest the UK economy could be about to take a massive hit to its tax revenues and its GDP, the monetary value of its goods and services. The claim is based on a report prepared for the then chancellor, George Osborne, during the referendum campaign. Senior figures in the ‘Leave’ movement have already said the aim was to make leaving the single market look as bad as possible, and have called the figures unrealistic. The report is based on a draft cabinet committee report seen by The Times which claims the Treasury is warning of a £66 billion annual cost to the UK. A more optimistic assessment speaks of a £38 billion loss, given the then ‘smaller size of the economy.’ Unsurprisingly, campaigners pushing for a
so-called ‘soft’ exit, have seized on the report. Former business minister Anna Soubry said, “The horrific damage of a hard Brexit is clear, less tax revenue means less to invest in schools and hospitals, lower trade and investment means businesses and jobs at risk.” The news makes more grim reading given a warning from the British Chambers of Commerce earlier this week that business investment had hit a four year low. The government’s opponents have also been quick to make capital out of the leak, with Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron saying that quitting the single market will wreck the economy. He called a ‘hard’ Brexit “an act of sheer economic vandalism.”
Tim Farron: “Economic vandalism.”
Price hikes likely on the high street ANOTHER aspect of life in post-Brexit Britain has come to the fore, with a warning of price hikes in the country’s shops. The group representing the main high street retailers is putting pressure on the government to come up with a good deal for Britain or face the consequences. The British Retail Consortium (BRC) is warning of tariffs on UK goods that could see 16 per cent added to meat prices, and 27 per cent to meat, also clothing and footwear imported from within the EU, currently zero-rated, would see tariffs up to 16 per cent. These would be imposed under trade deal rules from the World Trade Organisation. The problem, says the BRC, is that stores would be forced in most cases to pass these prices rises on to the shopper. Imports are already more costly with the fall in the value of the pound, currently at its lowest rate against the euro for around five years. Richard Baker, chairman of the BRC, said “We will be engaged in a constructive dialogue with government that will bring our experience to bear on the Brexit talks to the benefit of everyone in the UK.”

‘Marbs’ takes the centre stage on TV
NEWS
Flying high at lower cost SPANISH budget carrier Vueling is to offer a total of 40 itineraries connecting Andalucia to other parts of Europe this winter, with new offerings to Birmingham and Toulouse among them. There will be 672,058 seats available from Malaga Airport, with year-round destinations including Lanzarote, Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Cardiff, to name just a few. As well as the two new routes, connections to Ibiza and Milan will be available during the Christmas period.
AFTER an avalanche of teasing photos, digital clicks, YouTube hits, column inches, and wild speculation eliciting the groaning of weary minds, the crew from ‘The Only Way is Essex’ (TOWIE), finally made their umpteenth splash on the silver screen on Sunday with their special series set in Marbella. The premiere of the new season, which follows a wealthy set of entitled party goers, apparently all named Chloe, around various Costa del Sol hot-spots is the crowning glory of ITVBes nascent television empire. Dubbed ‘The Only Way Is Marbs’ for this season only, (TOWIM doesn’t quite have the same ring), the show draws in quite literally thousands of viewers from all around the world, eager to catch the celebrity exploits on television before they’re plastered all over the papers the next day. Manufactured controversy from Sunday night’s episode is already gripping entertainment magazines across shelves from Sainsburies to Tesco, and will surely be swaggering on your dentist’s waiting room table before the decade is out. Megan McKenna, Pete Wicks, James Argent, Lydia Bright, and their mind-boggling collection of nicknames are this season’s chief protagonists sampling Marbella nightlife and having some terrifically rehearsed fights for the camera.

Rain failed to dampen the day THE rain didn’t stop falling on Wednesday, October 12, meaning Spain’s National Day parade in Madrid was something of a soggy affair. There was uncertainty as to whether the airborne parade may have to be cancelled, but the C-101 Eagle Patrol, F-18 and Eurofighters, managed to make an appearance. King Felipe VI donned the uniform of Army Commander in Chief, while Queen Leticia helped preside over proceedings alongside her daughters, Princess Leonor of Asturias and Infanta Sofia. The entire Spanish government and representatives also watched on from the grandstand. To the King’s right were political leaders including Albert Rivera of Cuidadanos, Antonio Hernando of the PSOE, and Rafel Hernando of the PP, while on his left sat regional presidents such
as Javier Fernandez of Asturias. Notable absentees included the leaders of Catalonia, the Basque Country, Valencia, Navarra, and Galicia, plus Podemos big cheese Pablo Iglesias, who denounced the “hypocrisy” of those who believe that “to defend the homeland is to attend a fancy parade.” Acting defence minister, Pedro Morenes, took the bait as he retorted, “We do not force anyone to come.” Andalucian president Susana Diaz was also in attendance, she added, “There are some who believe that they don’t need to be here, but I think that respect for our institutions is made plain by attending events like this.” After the traditional tribute to the fallen, the King assumed an attention stance as the rain lashed down, before the soldiers’ parade got under way.

By Matthew Elliott THERESA MAY is conducting her first visit to Spain as prime minister and met with her Spanish counterpart Mariano Rajoy at the Palacio de La Moncloa in Madrid on Thursday October 13. May and Spain’s acting prime minister met over a working lunch where the impact of Brexit on relations between the two countries was the chief subject matter. The two leaders have already had an official conversation on the telephone following May’s selection as prime minister in July, and in China during the G20 summit. On both occasions they stressed the need to protect all British and Spanish citizens from any negative fallout from Brexit, although the Rock-shaped elephant in the room, Gibraltar, was not discussed. Recent demands for co-sovereignty negotiations from acting foreign minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo have met with short shrift by chief minister of Gibraltar Fabian Picardo, who rejected the prospect outright.

Driver arrested A POLICE officer was forced to leap from his bike to avoid being killed by a dangerous driver engaged in a high-speed chase across Marbella and San Pedro. The Bulgarian driver of a stolen Range Rover sped at over 160kph in a strict 80kph zone, tearing through Puerto Banus at top speed forcing pedestrians to flee and the officer to jump from his bike. He sped on the hard shoulder of the A7, performed dangerous zigzags on busy roads and eventually crashed in a cul-de-sac before scampering on foot with his accomplice. The two men had originally been spotted by police on San Pedro’s Avenida Carlos Cano on Sunday where they were whispering suspiciously. Seeing that they had captured the attention of the police they quickly jumped into the Range Rover and the chase began. Once on foot both men were quickly arrested, though they put up such resistance they were hospitalised after being taken into custody. Police found the keys to several stolen vehicles in their possession.

Hunting grounds are out of bounds By Matt Ford THE Junta de Andalucia’s Directorate General for Management of the Environment and Protected Areas has taken the decision to revoke the permission to hunt non-native animals that it previously granted to managers of the La Zagaleta urbanisation and country club in Benahavis. As recently reported in EWN, licences concerning the eradication of pest game species such as boar and deer had been issued in order to control the amount of damage the animals were creating in the luxury 900 hectare estate, where house prices start at an eyepopping €5 million. However, a mysterious group of indiscriminate, unlicensed hunters has allegedly been running amok, polishing off native as well as exotic wildlife and leading a campaign group to obtain almost 15,000 signatures via a Change.org petition.
URBANISATION BAN: No more hunting as permits are axed. The environmental groups claimed some residents were using strategicallyplaced food to lure deer, even pregnant does, plus female boar and ibex [the latter of which is native and protected] with their young to trap pens concealed in the gardens of private villas.
Having assessed the situation, and noting that the urbanisation management has failed to provide a detailed by-date record of the number and species of animals killed, the Junta has now decided to axe the permits for good.

A HUGE indoor plantation devoted to growing marihuana was destroyed by National Police officers who promptly arrested the two budding entrepreneurs behind the elaborate setup. As is often the case the pair were given away by the sheer stench of their endeavour, despite taking extreme precautions to remain under the radar. Nearby police responding to complaints from neighbours smashed down the doors to the northern Malaga flat and found more than 120 plants each more than a metre high. Fertiliser, high voltage lamps, and other paraphernalia were found in what amounted to a marihuanagrowing greenhouse rather than your everyday apartment. Two men, aged 32 but described as ‘youths’ by local media, were detained and will face drug trafficking charges given the sheer volume of marihuana they managed while the police set about destroying their produce and equipment.

UNDECLARED REVENUE: Has led the Hacienda to investigate the alleged infringement.
Taxing situation for Limasa By Matt Ford THE Hacienda (tax agency) has opened a case into an alleged infringement by cleaning company Limasa. Local reports suggest that the firm is being investigated over the possible defrauding of more than €3 million over the last five years, after it apparently failed to declare the controversial ‘canon of technical assistance.’
The agency are now seeking to reclaim €4.5 million in addition to sanctions which will be applied to the potentially undeclared revenues, some 50 per cent of the amount defrauded. The canon of technical assistance refers to payments made to three private companies which receive around 2.5 per cent of Limasa’s turnover in return for supposed specialist advice.
Such private ‘partners’ have received a total approaching €27 million since Limasa was awarded the municipal cleaning and waste disposal contracts for Malaga in 2001. The company and its partners considered these to be deductible expenses, but the Treasury is claiming that this was never the case, and has been conducting an official investigation in recent weeks.

The club, in Alhaurin de la Torre, was subjected to an inspection by the Provincial Labour and Social Security Office along with a specialist unit of the National Police. The Malaga Provincial court heard officers found the women did not know they had not been registered for Social Security liability. The owner had claimed to employ 20 workers doing the jobs of waitressing and cleaning. The defendant admitted contravening the rights of the women and exploitation. He will be on licence for three years and could be jailed for the offences if found guilty of any other related crime during that period. He was also ordered to pay a Social Security fine of €170.

Another one bites the dust By Matthew Elliott THE quiet Costa del Sol town of Tolox, just north of Marbella, tends to fly under the radar. But it made a splash recently when former mayor Juan Vera found himself in prison over 10 convictions concerning illegal home constructions. Vera was handed a 15-month s en ten ce to b e s erve d dow n the road in Alhaurin de la Torre but last month appealed against the decision, begging the regional government for a pardon. That request was coldly denied this week after prosecutors noted the scheming nature of his multiple offences. From 2004-2006 Vera had granted licences for the construction of more than 2,000 illegal homes in the region. He thus played a central role in the wider scandal which cost many expats their livelihoods and indirectly contributed to the financial crash a few years later. Vera is now one of dozens of local mayors languishing in prison for their crimes.

positive aspects of women and an exaltation of femininity and maternity. We will solve the problem as we do not wish to offend anyone or create controversy,” Carrillo promised. The town’s council, which has rented the theatre out for the performance, has meanwhile demanded its logo is removed from the posters and stressed that the play has no offensive content.

Malaga is place to go to learn lingo MALAGA City has headed to the 28th edition of the ‘Language Show Live,’ running from October 14 to 16 at the Olympia Centre in London, to promote itself as the ideal place to learn Spanish. The exhibition, one of the largest in Europe for those interested in languages including students, teachers, linguists and translators, attracts an average of 156 exhibitors from 17 different countries and received more than 8,700 visits last year. City representatives will be presenting the language tourism offer on the Andalucian Tourism stand. Malaga is currently the most popular destination for Spanish language students in Andalucia, and the fourth most popular in Spain, over the last 10 years more than 400,000 people have spent time in the city to learn the language. Data from the Spanish Centres Association reveals that Germans make up 21 per cent of those who come to Malaga to learn the language, followed by Danes, Italians, and Austrians. British students make up 6 per cent of the total following a marked increase over the last year.

PORT CITY: More popular than ever. By Matthew Elliott GLEAMING beaches and a terrific variety of holiday options have placed the Costa del Sol among the top five European destinations for mega-cruise ships. A comprehensive new ranking from ‘Cruise Critic’ puts Malaga
port firmly in the exclusive list after a vote from more than five million participants across the world. Holding their first ‘Cruiser ’s Choice Destination Awards,’ the company placed Malaga in bright company among Barcelona and Cannes, and even in the top 15 favourite ports globally.
It is a fitting accolade for the gateway to the Costa del Sol which drew in just shy of a half million cruise passengers last year and continues to expand. Visitors from all corners of the globe can use Malaga as a springboard to explore the region and dramatically boost the economy.

Solution needed for overwhelmed courts By Eleanor Hawkins AS trade unions have been warning, the three criminal courts in Malaga which deal with violence against women are overwhelmed. Court sources revealed this week that at least one of the three courts is marking up hearings for cases dating back to 2014, for October 2017, meaning while in the best of cases trials may take a year to be held, in the worst it is more like three years or longer. The situation, which has been complicated for some time, has actually been worsened by an attempt to improve matters.

Low water level leads to hot air By Matt Ford MALAGA Province has exited the hydrological year, which ended on September 30, with water reserves in its reservoirs at their lowest levels since 2009, when the area began to recover following the drought of 2005-2008. In August 2005 reserves totalled 217.2 cubic hectometres, and this week the seven dams used for municipal supplies contain 251.2 cubic hectometres. Average annual consumption is approximately 120 cubic hectometres, of which almost half is consumed by Malaga City. The Territorial Delegation of Environment and Planning assures that even if this autumn and winter remain dry, there is sufficient water for at least a year on the Costa del Sol, 18 months in Axarquia, and two years in the Guadalhorce Valley and city. That said, the regional Environment Minister, Jose Fiscal, said that in his view the situation is “worrying” during a visit to Nerja last week, although for now no drought warning is in place. “If rainfall is normal, and [State Meteorlogical Agency] Aemet forecasts suggest that autumn will fall within the normal average, there will be no need to enforce measures, so I hope that the predictions are

significant improvements to infrastructure in the seven years since 2009. Some projects have been initiated but lat-
er cancelled; resulting in lost time and money, and the official line being adopted by both the Junta de Andalucia and Malaga Provincial Council is that they are “studying the possible scenarios that might occur before taking any decisions.” The only measure taken to alleviate supply issues this year was the delivery of water to a number of villages near Antequera twice a week. On the Costa del Sol, the La Concepcion reservoir can be completely full after just a few days of heavy rain, meaning that during wet years a lot of water is released without being used. A scheme to connect the artificial lake to Malaga and the La Viñuela reservoir in Axarquia has been shelved due to the estimated €210 million cost and age of the current pipework, one section of which exploded in Benalmadena last week. Another madcap project for which no end is in sight is the tunnel which was supposed to connect the Rio Genal to the Rio Verde in Marbella. Const r uct i on has com e t o a com pl et e standstill and the connection is now expected to be complete in 2027 at the earliest, with similar projections for the FuengirolaMijas desalinisation plant, the contract for which was handed out in 2009.

Green light for shorter working week By Matt Ford THE Junta de Andalucia has approved a scheme whereby its 270,000 municipal employees will only have to work a 35-hour week from January 2017. Although the decree remains to be approved by Spanish Parliament, the Regional Governing Council agreed the measure on Tuesday, October 11. Junta spokesman Miguel Angel Vazquez said, “This is a measure which will improve public services, and it is also a question of political will which the Junta is determined to implement. “It would be irresponsible to prevent these professionals benefiting from the [financial] recovery.” If approved by the central government it would see the
37.5 hour week agreed in 2012 abolished, though there is likely to be resistance from Mariano Rajoy’s interim administration. Madrid City Council and the Basque Country have already failed in attempts to reduce the number of weekly hours for civil servants following appeals from the national government. Vasquez, and Andalucian president, Susana Diaz, appear prepared to defy any appeal, however, with both declaring that it is none of the government’s business. “Our Statute of Autonomy gives us full responsibility for the management of our civil services,” said the former, who believes the change will create “thousands of jobs,” without specifying how. The reduction in working hours was initially agreed with the CCOO, UGT and CSIF trade unions in June, and is earmarked for January 16. The new timetable would be introduced in the health sector, then education in September 2017.

Drugstore cowboys finally reined in AN employee of a Malagabased pharmacy and her husband have been arrested by the National Police for the alleged theft and subsequent illegal sale of children’s vaccines. In addition to being accused of theft, the pair are also being investigated for endangering public health after vaccines found at their home were not being maintained at the correct temperature. The owner of the pharmacy noticed a significant mis-
match between the number of vaccines arriving to his business from wholesalers and those actually sold, with a shortfall worth around 6,000 euros since the start of the year. His suspicions raised, he later caught the in-house shoplifter in the act of handing her husband a bag full of vaccines and other drugs through the emergency side door of the premises, leading him to call the police. The ploy had apparently
been going on for a considerable period of time, with the employee flaunting her trusted status and off-setting the stolen items by manipulating inventories since 2010. Most of the drugs were then moved on to family, friends, and neighbours at knock-down prices, with the pilfering pair telling buyers that they were able to obtain the products at heavily-discounted prices since one of them was employed in a pharmacy.
La Linea confrontation THE mayor of La Linea, Juan Franco, had to be escorted by police from a council meeting due to angry complaints made by a number of local council employees after their salaries were reduced by 408 euros. According to the mayor, this was not of his
doing, but he was forced to act following a court decision that the payment of this ‘bonus’ which was introduced years ago, was illegal. Despite this explanation both unions and employees clearly demonstrated their anger at the action taken by the council.

VALDERRAMA: The most famous of the Costa del Sol’s spectacular courses.
Golf tourism hits a hole-in-one By Matthew Elliott FORGET the sandy beaches, it’s the well-trimmed greens of the Costa del Sol that are attracting more and more tourists and money to resorts across the region. Golf tourism now draws
roughly half a million visitors to Andalucia and brings in more than 400 million euros to the Costa del Sol. When you add indirect revenue from restaurant visits and shopping trips, that figure soars to 900 million euros and can surely be expected to be-
come a billion euro industry for the Costa del Sol by next year. With more than 70 courses, the Costa del Sol has long been a favourite golfing hub in Europe and a concerted effort from the tourism authorities in plugging the region abroad has paid dividends, with a healthy 4 per cent growth rate this year. Golf courses are aware of the competition and have started serious renovation projects in a bid to attract the big spenders, largely from Britain, Spain, and Germany. Those here on a golfing holiday spend roughly 130 euros per day during their trip, far higher than the average tourist, and now the industry is expecting some recompense from the government as a reward for bringing home the bacon. Many courses would like to see the VAT rate dropped from 21 per cent, and also some form of reimbursement for transforming wasteland into green spaces of environmental value.

Saved in the nick of time A LITHUANIAN man holidaying in Fuengirola with his family was extremely fortunate to have two off-duty policemen and a doctor on hand when he was on the verge of drowning at sea. The hefty 58-year-old posed a mighty challenge for the two officers who managed to pull him back to the shore after cries rang out across the beach that someone was in desperate trouble. They yanked him back to the sand where urologist Pilar Moreno was reclining on her beach chair wondering what all the fuss was about. Realising the gravity of the situation she rushed to the scene and helped resuscitate the man who had taken water into his system. He was taken to the Costa del Sol hospital where he made a quick recovery and was back in his family’s arms within hours.
NEW TECHNOLOGY: Ana Mula presenting the new unit at Fuengirola Local Police station.
Leading the way in emergencies FUENGIROLA has launched a new emergency communications and response unit at the
Local Police station, making the town one of the first on the Costa del Sol to have the tech-
nology to manage all incidents quickly and efficiently from one place. Combining Local Police, fire brigade, and 112 emergency services, the unit will be able to automatically check which vehicles are closest as soon as an emergency is called in and access images from traffic and police cameras to determine what resources will be required. Local Mayor Ana Mula presented the new unit, and ex-
plained it is part of the council’s aim to improve citizen security and provide better services. Police chief Joaquin Rueda said the new systems will generate a file for each call received which will include images and videos to allow for quick intervention and a detailed follow up. The contract to supply and maintain the system was awarded to JUMA S.L. for four years at a price of €190,000 per year.

The Spanish Government then got involved a month ago to clear the sand from the estuary. Now the sand has been moved by currents again and the work appears to have been inadequate, which means that diggers will need to return urgently in order to save a negative impact on marine life and a potential health risk.

Yes it is a bit smelly and the dogs do bark, but at the end of the day, visitors who live in the area but originate from all over Europe, including a number from Spain, just want to ensure that the cats and dogs who live at the sanctuary have a decent life and hopefully find a loving family to care for them in the future.

Puppies abandoned WORKERS at the ADANA dog rescue and rehoming centre in the Parque de los Pedregales Estepona are used to sad sights, but having two litters of new-born pups dumped overnight at the shelter gates was too much even for them. The two litters, both without mothers to feed them, were dumped in identical fertiliser bags, after the shelter had closed for the night. “We don’t know where they’ve come from, maybe a puppy farm, maybe another private shelter,” said volunteer and ADANA treasurer Reg Winkworth. “We have found volunteers who will take them home, bottle feed them and give them the 24-hour care they need, but we would like any information that can lead us to the people who are thoughtlessly breeding these clearly unwanted poor creatures.” ADANA board members are concerned about the number of puppy farms operating in the Estepona area and selling dogs to commercial concerns such as local garden centres. “We are very concerned about this trade in live animals,” said ADANA President Mary Page. “The pups are bred in poor conditions and are sold without vaccinations or passports, they are often displayed for sale in unsuitable conditions.” ADANA is considering petitioning the Estepona Town Council for a ban on the sale of live animals in shops and garden centres.

Coin RBL autumn outing FORTY members and friends from the Coin branch of The Royal British Legion travelled last week to the beautiful areas of Rota, Cadiz, and Jerez. They stayed for three nights at the four-star Barcello Costa Ballena hotel near Rota. On the way they visited the Herpac fish processing plant at Barbate, watching a whole tuna being cut up by a skilled worker was fascinating and not for the squeamish. However, most travellers still managed to sample some of the produce. Coach driver and tour organiser Gloria was the brilliant interpreter for the group. The following day was Cadiz, a first visit for some, after a tour of the main sites they had several hours to explore the city before a boat trip to Puerto de Santa Maria for lunch. Then back to the hotel and, for many, a refreshing swim before an extensive buffet dinner. Friday found the group travelling to Sanluca de Barrameda to learn the secrets of the wine and sherry produced by Bodegas Barbadillo. The tour ended with a tasting of both wine, and sherry, so that members could decide their preferences. With 500 hectares of its own vine-

Afterwards their coach took them to Jerez itself where several groups explored the Cathedral which houses some impressive works of art. Returning to Coin on Saturday, they stopped off at the Yeguada de la Cartuja
stud farm near Jerez. There they learned the history of the Andalucian horses and their Carthusian lineage, followed by an impressive show in the display ring. Social Committee Chairman Peter Brown summed up the trip as “exceptionally interesting and great value for money.” The branch’s next trip is to El Torcal and Antequera at the end of October.

To match its Positively Pink sister, a Positively Blue ball will be held at Olivia’s in La Cala at a date still to be announced by Lorraine. As soon as that news it out, all of us at the EWN family will be throwing our weight behind a cause that really does mean lives are saved.

THE GROUP: Visiting the roman ruins in Ocuri, near Ubrique.
FOTA excursion A NUMBER of members of the Friends of the Theatre group (FOTA Salon Varietes), had an enjoyable holiday in Grazalema, a village located in the Grazalema Natural Park near Ronda. Grazalema itself is a small white village set in beautiful countryside, surrounded by mountains, the group stayed at the ecological Hotel Fuerte, Grazalema. The party also travelled to Ubrique, El Bosque, where they visited the 300-year-old bakery, El Molino de Abajo, and had fun making their own bread and eating it with their lunch at the restaurant. Also high on the list of recommended visits
was an interesting trip to the Roman ruins at Ocuri, near Ubrique. The ruins stand on a 600metre high hill in stunning surroundings from which there are superb views of the Sierra. Many members work voluntarily to help keep the doors of the Salon Varietes open and anyone may join this lively society by paying €10 for the year. The FOTA desk is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 11.30am to 1.15pm, and on Saturday when there is a show, from 6pm to 8pm. A great opportunity to make new friends, find out more by phoning 951 264 196 or call in at the theatre in Fuengirola.
AGE CARE CONCERN is very proud to have an association with the convent Casa de Sagrada Corazon in Malaga, and made a donation of €1,000 to the convent to help them continue with their good work. The founder of the convent was Sister Rosario Villalonga Lacave 50 years ago, and after her death in 1991 Sister Isabela took over the establishment as Sister Superior. It is residential and can accommodate 45 people of all ages, but the majority are elderly and many in need of care, love, and attention. Some are nearing the end of their lives, some are recovering from illnesses and all are cared for by volunteers who support the convent in a variety of ways.
All the money needed to keep the establishment operating is gained by fundraising and donations. It is well supported by volunteers. The donation was presented by Lesley Berridge who is an Age Care volunteer welfare team leader at Calahonda, to volunteer Rafaelita who, with her husband, is responsible for the day to day running of the charity. As part of their regular coffee morning, Age Care Concern is presenting a concert on October 18 at Calahonda International Baptist Church, with two groups of singers, the Costa Soul Singers who sing a variety of soul and motown songs, and Vocal Joy, who sing old and new popular songs. Coffee and homemade cakes from will be available from 10.45am and the music starts at 11.20am.

IMF warning on world debt By John Smith THE International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been reviewing the levels of international debt and has warned governments around the world that the current situation is more than worrying and that they need to keep a very close eye on the situation and be ready to intervene in the event that it appears their economies are about to implode. This warning has come about following a review of the economies of

STRONG MARKET: For the iZettle reader.
Paying via phone AS the world moves inexorably towards a cashless society, with Sweden apparently leading the way, a small Swedish company looks set to capitalise on a combination of bank’s high charges, consumer wish to pay by debit card wherever possible and fear that contactless payment cards are easily broken into. Jacob de Geer was amazed when his wife who sells imported sunglasses returned from a trade fair and was angry because companies there would not accept debit cards by way of payment for advance orders as they didn’t want to go through the hassle of setting up a deal with a bank
and the attendant costs. The entrepreneur who had some experience of starting and selling small companies researched the market and came to the conclusion that there were literally millions of small companies within Europe which would love to take debit cards and set about founding a company to make it easy and inexpensive. With some investment money and working with a friend Magnus Nilsson, he set up iZettle which for a low outlay (in the region of £35 or €40) supplies a card reader which can be linked to smart phones or tablets thus allowing debit and credit cards to be accepted.
ALTHOUGH South Korean electronics giant Samsung had announced the problem with its Galaxy 7 Note device had been spotted and cured with replacement batteries issued, a report has been received that on October 5, one of the devices, said to be safe started to heat up and smoke on board a flight in America causing the cancellation of the flight. Passengers on all US flights have been warned about packing these items in their checked baggage nor to turn them on in flight. Samsung are working with the airline to check the problem with this particular device.
2017 Budget ACCORDING to the latest bulletin by the Bank of Spain, the country has until October 15 to present its 2017 budget to the EU together with an explanation of the way it intends to bring the economy into line in order to meet directives previously issued which allowed it to escape any fine for missing previous targets. As there is currently only an interim government in Spain, there are significant restraints upon its ability to produce a new budget or to accept new targets.

The bulk of debt sits in the West as well as developing economies, most noticeably China which saw a period of sustained growth encouraged by easy to obtain loans and large profits, but as the world economy cools so the risks in China in particular which has seen private debt increase by 70 per cent is becoming potentially dangerous and the volume of debt is adversely affecting global trends.

He’s a lucky boy THE internet search engine Google has waived a charge of €100,000 run up by a 12-year-old Spanish boy who thought he was going to raise funds for a brass band in which he plays by selling adverts on his personal website. How wrong he was, as it transpires that he actually gave Google authority to promote his website and charge him for every click that resulted in someone online visiting it! It was only when the bank where he had a savings account contacted his parents that the error became obvious. Google recognised a mistake had been made and have cancelled the invoice.

Innovative new Spanish payment app BY the end of October no less than 24 Spanish banks will have signed up for a new way of payment without cash, debit or credit card or cheque, under the banner of Bizum. The concept is simple provided that you have a smartphone and a bank account and all of the major banks in Spain have either signed up or are in the process of doing so. You download an app from your bank which will allow you to enter your bank account number and you simply give the telephone number of a friend or relative who is also signed up to the app and you can literally transfer money to their account immediately. In due course, once any of the inevitable teething problems are ironed out, you should be able to use this system to purchase goods online or pay for goods or services in store or by transfer to a contractor’s account. The system is designed so that you never know the bank details of the person or business that you are transferring the funds to and therefore, in theory, is potentially much safer than using a card over the internet or in store as there is nothing to clone.

ANGEL NIGORRA: CEO of Bizum, the new payment app coming to Spain.
24 Spanish banks will have signed up to the new payment app Bizum by the end of October. IT specialists but this system does do away with the need to carry large volumes of cash and cards. The obvious drawback however (and no doubt the banks are well aware of this) is the regular loss and theft of mobile phones, so despite any safety measures put into operation, it is feasible that a stolen phone could be cracked and that funds could be transferred into a third party bank account, although there would of course be an obvious trail. At the moment the service is free to use but if successful may well, a bit like PayPal, require the recipient to pay a percentage of funds received. With the support of the bulk of the majors such as La Caixa, BBVA, Santander, Bankia and Sabadell, it would appear there has been a great deal of planning and security reviews in order to ensure that this system is safe and efficient and as it is owned by the participating banks they have every reason to ensure that it works as it should.
By Matthew Elliott TRADE-WEIGHTED sterling hit an eight-year low of 74.0 on Tuesday as GBP/USD crashed past the $1.23 handle after a leaked paper showed the British treasury can anticipate a £66 billion annual hit if a hard Brexit goes ahead. A draft cabinet committee paper seen by The Times comes from a study ordered by former chancellor George Osborne into the likely impact leaving the EU would have on public finances. It found that switching to a regime governed by World Trade Organisation, rather than EU, rules, would send GDP plummeting by almost 10 per cent. Nor would this be a brief fall from grace. The paper suggests a central estimate that GDP would be 7.5 per cent lower after 15 years with a loss of between £38bn and £66bn per year. Neil Wilson of City firm ETX Capital said: “It’s not unreasonable to think that fero-
cious flash crash was just a very tentative toe in the water and the pound is now plunging headlong into the abyss. “Sterling seems to be looking for a level and it’s really unclear where that could be and so bargain hunting is a risky game to play at the moment. The $1.20 handle earmarked by many before the referendum is definitely in play as everyone seems to be short sterling at present.” A government spokesman attempted to assuage fears but failed to comment directly on the news: “We want the best outcome for Britain. That means pursuing a bespoke arrangement which gives British companies the maximum freedom to trade with and operate in the single market, and enables us to decide for ourselves how we control immigration.” On October 11 the pound was 17 per cent lower than on June 23, the date of the referendum, after suffering its worst four-day run since the immediate aftermath of the vote.

A shockingly weak week for sterling
GEORGE OSBORNE: Former Chancellor was questioned by MPs after leak.
Bad news for importers, bad news for Brits abroad but potentially good news for exporters who expect the devalued pound to pick up momentum in the coming months. The FTSE 100 index struck an all-time intraday high, striking the 7129 mark as share prices were driven up by the weak pound. Bank of England representative Michael Saunders told parliament that he wouldn’t be surprised to see the sterling slip further. Noting that Brexit was far from the only pressure on the pound, he suggested that the current account deficit was also contributing to its sudden demise. On a lighter note the pound wasn’t actually the world’s worst performing currency over the week. That honour was reserved for the South African rand which nose-dived by 3 per cent against the dollar after finance minister Pravin Gordhan was issued a summons for fraud.

easyJet’s profit expectations fall
ON ORDER: A large number of new aircraft.
AFTER several years of steady growth, easyJet is warning that its 2016 profits are likely to fall well short of the 2015 profit of £686 million (€776 million) hurt in part by the continued fall in the value of the pound against the dollar, the currency in which fuel oil is purchased and which has removed £90 million (€102 million) from its forecast. The estimated profit figure for 2016 is now some 28 per cent below the 2015 figures at just under £500 million (€566 million). This is the first drop in profits the company has experienced since 2009 when the airline was originally set up as an early example of a low cost airline by Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou in 1995. As he and his family continue to be the largest shareholders in the company, they may have something to say about the situation. The airline has been hit by a slight downturn in travel, but it has been keeping its share of the market stable by cutting prices, but what has effectively become something of a price war with other airlines such as Ryanair is obviously hurting the airlines un-

Stop degrees of tolerance Those who cause public disorder, or discriminate in any way should be treated with complete equality irrespsective of their creed, calling or religion.”
LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT THE reason the police and authorities show more lenience and are l e ss l i k e l y t o ta k e ac tio n against ethnic demonstrators is quite simple; they are frightened of them. Or more specifically afraid of the wrath they could incur should they ‘upset’ them too much. Have no doubt that the police are ordered to walk on eggshell when dealing with ethnic minorities, particularly the Muslim community. Can you imagine the reaction there would have been if the BBC had refused to employ two announcers because they were black or Muslim? It would have come as no surprise to me for a decision like this to instigate full scale rioting acr o ss t h e l a n d . A s it w a s th e two men in question had to make do with a bit of media coverage
DIANE ABBOTT: Shadow Home Secretary.
and a few tut tuts. This ridiculous situation of one degree of tolerance toward certain members of our society and a different attitude toward another, simply has to stop. It is discrimination at its very worst and must be dealt with before it gets utterly out of hand. Just because one section of the community are unlikely to cause unrest and another likely to create mayhem, should have no bearing on the authorities actions whatsoever. Those who cause public disorder, or discriminate in any way should be treated with complete
equal i t y i r r espect i ve of t hei r creed, calling or religion. If they then decide to instigate public disorder, they should be dropped on like a ton of bricks by the full weight of the law and troops if necessary. Mi nd you wi t h Mr Khan i n charge of t he bi ggest pol i ce force in the land, don’t hold your breath! What a ridiculous sight Corbyn conj ur ed up wi t h hi s entourage of diverse females at the recent Labour conference. Looking for all the world like a poor man’s Ghaddafi (who also had a penchant f or f em al e ‘ bodyguards’) he managed to convey the exact patronising attitude toward the fair sex he was presumably trying to rally against. Bet ween hi m and t he awf ul hypocrite Diane Abbott, they have m anaged t o ensur e Labour’s time in the wilderness for at least the next decade. Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

OPINION & COMMENT
A single well aimed arrow Colin Bird A weekly look Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-thewall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.
OCTOBER 14 marks the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings. Doesn’t time fly! Harold Godwinson had only been King of England since January 6 when he faced and defeated the armies of Harald Hardrader, the Norwegian King, and Earl Tostig at Stamford Bridge near York on September 25, 1066. Five days prior to this, the same Norwegian led force had defeated another English army at Fulford, before Harold arrived for the replay with his hastily assembled outfit and reversed the result in extra time. Legend has it that a lone axeman held the bridge against all comers for hours, before a sneaky Englishman paddled silently under him in a barrel and thrust a spear through the timber slats. It brings tears to the eyes, but once the bridge fell, the resulting battle was a one sided
BULLSEYE SHOT: William the Conqueror. affair with Harold winning the day. But he had paid a heavy price. His scratch army was decimated and exhausted. This was what William Duke of Normandy had been waiting for.
There had been a lot of plotting between him and the Scandinavian lads for some time, and William had dreamed up the cunning plan to divert Harold in the north of England courtesy of his pals,
while he quietly landed his invading army on the south coast. And so on September 28, the Norman fleet of nearly 700 ships carrying an estimated 15,000 men, put ashore at
Pevensey and awaited the arrival of Harold. Why he didn’t simply march on London and engage the English army there, is puzzling. Perhaps being a bloke and not knowing the way, he simply refused to ask for directions. Just like Moses who paid for it by wandering around the desert for 40 years looking for the Land of Milk and Honey. Whatever the reason, on October 14 the footsore English army arrived at what is now Battle, North West of Hastings. Harold’s 5,000 men, almost entirely infantry, came face to face with Williams’s fully rested army, made up of infantry, cavalry and archers. The outnumbered English fought bravely and although the battle was evenly balanced at one time, once Harold was brought down with a well aimed arrow in the eye, the writing was on the wall. ‘One hundred and eighteeee’, yelled William, and the course of British history had been changed.

It could well be, that Mrs May was a closet Brexiteer who thought that there was little chance of the vote going in favour of leaving the Union so didn’t ‘come out’ because she didn’t want to lose her position in the party hierarchy, especially as David Cameron has made it clear that he wouldn’t stand as Prime Minister for a third term. The scenario then existed that
she wasn’t bad mouthing the Brexiteers in case they won and she was still seen to be loyal to the government which she possibly assumed would win The result came as a blessing as far as her political ambitions were c onc e rne d, e s pe c ia lly a s the Gove/Johnson pairing fell out big time and the reality was that she could ignore Gove and Fox who are not the most popular of politi-

All expats now eligible.
Keeping a promise IT does make a pleasant change for any government to keep a promise, even though some of us would argue that it has come too late! David Cameron gave a pledge prior to the last election that expats would receive the right to vote in UK elections regardless of how long they have lived outside of the UK and they would be eligible to vote in the last UK constituency in which they resided. Whilst this may be a step forward, the most important vote for expats will have been the referendum and hundreds of thousands were precluded from voting in a ballot that would personally affect them just because the government did not have time to spare for the legislation to go through. It did find time to fight in court an application for the law to be changed prior to the referendum: It won but it’s not the current PM who is to blame it’s the previous one. Voting in a general election held in a constituency that you haven’t by definition been resident in for more than 15 years is a bit of a hollow victory but the ability to vote to either leave or remain in the European Union certainly had a more direct meaning to disenfranchised expats. A cynic might suggest this is a sop, to make it look as if the new leadership cares more than the old and as it’s claimed two thirds of expats live outside the EU, the vote might not have changed anyway. What is important is that all British citizens can now vote to help choose the party which will govern the UK in the future and hopefully all those who can vote will take the opportunity to do so even though that may not be before 2020.
cians. She only had to face Andrea Leadsom who withdrew after making some unfortunate comments about Mrs May’s lack of children which particularly when taken out of context worked tellingly against her. Then it was just a matter of in with the new and out with the old, so that Davis and Fox could represent the more colourful Brexiteers, Boris could ‘charm’ the foreigners (at least those he hadn’t already insulted) and Gove and Osborne could be put out to grass. At the Conservative Party Conference, Mrs May made it pretty clear that she wanted to take advantage of the still divided Labour Party by trying to make the conserva tives t he par t y of t he peopl e whilst also promoting the UK as a Titan which once dominated the world and was now ready to shed the restrictions of the Zeus like European Union so that it could regain it’s true position in the uniNow we verse. want to She says t hat she i s goi ng t o hear your views. press the Article 50 button by March 2017 and within two YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE years Britain will either be a - YOUR OPINION dis-United Kingdom or still a www.euroweeklynews.com force to be reckoned with.

YOUR STARS SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) A great feeling of joy comes over you more than once in the week ahead. Your inner child has been set free, and this is likely to be because of recent restrictions, which are now lifted. Do not feel guilty about this because it is a choice that will serve you well in the future. Right now, things may seem like a bit of an effort for small reward. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Travel arrangements may have to be changed at the last minute. Do not fret, however, because success is more likely later in the month. During a dream, or when reading a book, an idea comes to you. Can this really make a difference to your future? You may need to act quickly to start a new project but progress will require patience. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) The need to plan ahead is frustrating when you know exactly what ought to be going on. Patience is something that you need to cultivate, or you risk upsetting someone close. Spending time with a colleague makes you realise how good things could be, but a lot of effort is involved. Pushing ahead does not guarantee results. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) It is difficult to avoid repeating mistakes made in the past. Your approach to certain situations has not changed and therein lies the problem. Someone who blames you for

A disagreement with a friend upsets you but is short-lived. To avoid such a situation in the future, look at how you should have dealt with it. There is always something to know that guides us to a better position. It will make you smile someone has taken you for a fool as you have the last laugh. a mistake shows ignorance but that does not make it less upsetting. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Who is trying to push you into a corner? Maybe it is being done so subtly that you have not even noticed. Who wants a decision from you? Appear to take pressure lightly and not give in to an irritation. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A rather slow start to the week leads you to feel bored but be assured that the weekend will be far from dull. A recent conversation or correspondence with an old friend leads to unexpected contact. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Everything on the home front is emphasised and there will be a flurry of activity. Get others involved in any changes. Work in the garden or painting is much more enjoyable and half the work if you enlist the help of someone you get on well with. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) When discussing a holiday with others, be
aware that agreement is not always easily met. Although you are not inclined to compromise, it is necessary to go with the majority decision. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) After the 2nd it is much easier to see the path ahead. This is particularly true of a financial situation, so there's no sense in fussing until you understand what needs to be done. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Your attention is needed on more than one front, and some decisions are at odds with your personal thoughts and attitudes. Being reminded that ‘business is business’ does nothing to relieve your conscience. You may have to upset someone by telling the truth, which may affect your longer-term finances. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Are you willing to take a risk on someone who has let you down before? Looking into their recent past is likely to tip the balance. What you find shows clearly if there has been a change of heart on their part or if they are trying to pull the wool over your eyes.

By Graham Norton
The chat show host’s debut is an intelligently crafted story of love, secrets and loss. The remote Irish village of Duneen has known little drama; and yet its inhabitants are troubled. Sergeant PJ Collins hasn’t always been this overweight; mother of two Brid Riordan hasn’t always been an alcoholic; and elegant Evelyn Ross hasn’t always felt that her life was a total waste. So when human remains are discovered on an old farm, suspected to be that of Tommy Burke - a former-love of both Brid and Evelyn - the village’s dark past begins to unravel. Darkly comic, touching and at times profoundly sad. Graham Norton employs his acerbic wit to breathe life into a host of loveable characters, and explores - with searing honesty - the complexities and contradictions that make us human. books@euroweeklynews.com
1 - The Peacock Brooch In 2013 Laurence Graff unveiled this brooch at Maastricht’s TEFAF fair. There are 1,305 diamonds adorning this glorious bird totalling 120.81 carats. An array of dazzling coloured diamonds fan out from a beautiful 20.02 carat pearshaped fancy deep blue diamond at the centre of the brooch which is valued at $100 million. 2 - The Pink Star Selling for a world record price of more than $83 million at Sotheby’s Geneva this 59.6 carat ring was billed as ‘the most valuable diamond ever to come to auction.’ Cut by Steinmetz Diamonds over a period of almost two years it was first unveiled to the public in May 2003 as the ‘Steinmetz Pink’ but was renamed when it first sold privately in 2007. It is more than twice the size of The Graff Pink. 3 - Mouawad’s L’Incomparable Diamond Necklace Weighing 637 carats in total the centre-piece of the necklace is a deep yellow diamond that was originally discovered in the African Congo more than 30 years ago by a young girl who plucked it from a discarded pile of kimberlite (a by-product of diamond mining). It is recorded in the Guinness World Records as the most valuable necklace in the world at a mere $55 million. 4 - The Graff Pink Until 2013 this was reputed to be the most expensive piece of jewellery in the world when it was sold for an astonishing $46 million in November 2010. Displaying a strong pink hue it has a perfect rating and is classified as a type II colour diamond. The price for this rare gem, weighing in at 24.78 carats values this rare gem at around $1.85 million per carat. 5 - The $30 million Diamond Bikini This expensive platinum and diamond bikini was created by designer Susan Rosen for a special edition of Sports Illustrated magazine.

THE PEACOCK BROOCH: Is valued at $100 million. 150 carats of D Flawless diamonds that were supplied by Steinmetz Diamonds. The lucky model who got to wear the skimpy but extravagant bikini was Molly Sims. 6 - The Wittelsbach-Graff Diamond In 1644 King Philip IV of Spain included this stone in his daughter’s dowry. After passing down through royal bloodlines by 1722 it was part of the Bavarian Crown Jewel collection, owned by the Wittelsbach family. The gem was rediscovered and bought for $24.3 million in 2008 by Laurence Graff who riskily repolished it. At 31.06 caratsit is the most exquisite blue diamond in the world. 7 - Heart of the Ocean Diamond Inspired by the necklace worn in the 1997 Titanic film this example was created by Harry Winston. The blue diamond necklace was worn by actress Gloria Stuart at the 1998 Academy Awards and is one of the most expensive pieces ever worn at the Oscars. It is estimated to be worth $20 million with replicas selling at auction sales for $3.5 million. 8 - Bulgari Two-Stone Diamond Ring This stunning ring is set with a 10.95 carats vivid blue diamond and a 9.87
carats diamond and was created by Bulgari in 1972. When it came up for auction it sparked an intense bidding war which was won by an Asian collector who purchased the ring for $15.7 million. The two large diamonds make it one of the most expensive rings in the world. 9 - Emerald and Diamond Tiara Containing a row of 11 polished pear shaped emeralds the tiara was commissioned by German Prince Guido Henckel von Donnersmarck who gifted it to his second wife Katherine in 1900.

Cyclists: know the law in Spain IT always surprises me that instead of asking the appropriate authorities what the law is, people write to the papers. We know that those in the Spanish administration system probably do not read the English press! Re: cyclists in Quesada, letter from Oct 6. I live on Costa del Sol. In my town bicycles are permitted to ride on the footpath. It annoys me but it is the law. If one needs to know the law, and in this case the by-law, then one should ask at the appropriate office, so I called the Local Police in Quesada. They said cyclists are not permitted to ride on the footpaths in Quesada. In all of Spain cyclists riding on the road, and even invalid tricycles are bound by the same laws as cars, motorcyclists, etc. So they are not permitted to go the ‘wrong way’ in a one way street, nor permitted to jump red lights, etc. I wonder how many pedestrians know that they are not permitted to cross the road when the ‘red man’ is showing even if there is not a car in sight. That said I have lived in Spain 30 years so accept laws are imposed differently here to say the UK. Julian
Glaring error REGARDING the letter from Pat in edition 1631. She is wrong on several points but the most glaring is the claim that, by not returning to UK pensioners are saving the DWP £1,575 per year. It should be noted that for each UK pensioner who gets ‘free healthcare’ in Spain, as a result of their form E121 now an S1, the DWP pay Spain around £3,000 per year. Thus the UK actually pay more because they are living in Spain. Elaine
Sarcastic slavery I WOULD like to thank Viv (issue 1631) for enlightening me to this new subtle slavery of the western nations in this last decade or so. I’d never realised that these evil nations were pulling these poor unfortunate people with no language, skills or education from their homes and putting them on ill-equipped boats to sail across the Mediterranean, and at what cost to those nations for their rescue, feeding, clothing, medical facilities and temporary housing, until passed on to be

Support local produce I READ with sadness your article entitled bitter oranges, and l say sadness because once again the unelected bureaucrats in Belgium have decreed that we are better off importing oranges from South Africa of all places (Is that country even in the EU?) in order to increase profits for greedy retailers... although it seems they are sold at the same price, €3 for 25lbs, which is still an insult to farmers. Can you even consider that these oranges will be anywhere near the quality of our local grown? The EU decimated the British fishing industry, and seems intent on bringing down the Spanish agriculture sector. Yes there is a recession...’let’s make it worse.’ Who are these people in the European Commission, who by the stroke of a pen, and with no conscience, can decide our farmers’ future.
come slaves to those unscrupulous nations. Perhaps if Viv (who obviously is in the know) were to name these nations they could be reported to the United Nations and the necessary sanctions taken! Yours sarcastically Clive
Feria hypocrisy ONLY a few weeks ago the police turned up at the port in Fuengirola and shut down the live music that was being played and enjoyed by local expats
It’s about time that Spain follows Britain’s lead, gets out of the EU and manages its own country. A farmer has the most important job in the world, to feed the population, and we are lucky that the region where we live is peppered with smallholdings producing tasty and healthy food that we can buy in local markets. I urge you to support your local farmer. Don’t buy oranges at Mercadona or one of the other chains. If you have to buy your produce there, read the labels, and don’t buy non-Spanish. Gandhi said, the planet can provide for human need, but not human greed. Please supoprt your local farmer, you will surely miss him, when, because of artificially low priced imports, he stops growing that delicious quality food for our local fresh markets. Annie
and tourists (was it because the bar is English?) It was offending no one and there are no residences nearby. The other side of the coin is this week has been the Féria in Fuengirola with all the fairground and razzmatazz with noises and music that goes with it. Normally starting at approx 2pm and ending approx 4am, so last night it went on until 5.30am (As it was all Spanish no one in authority gave a damn!). The Féria is right smack bang in the middle of hundreds of apartments and houses The council needs to enforce with the help of the police and put in a timed cut off point, of the music and noises, so local residents can enjoy living near the Féria without being
overpowered by noise pollution just because no one cares. Even our Spanish Friends are getting fed up with the free licence the Féria folk seem to have of how loud and how long they can outdo each other. Dave
Mobility madness I AM absolutely fed up with able bodied people tearing about Benidorm on mobility scooters! Every time my wife and I go to the shopping areas we have to avoid
scooters being driven thoughtlessly and dangerously by able bodied drivers who, when they get to their destination, simply alight from their scooters, leave them blocking pavements, and trot around the supermarket or into the bar or restaurant without a limp or shuffle. Like a lot of pedestrians we’ve been pipped at, had to dive out the way and nearly been run over when we’re forced onto the road to let them past. We’ve seen these, and the extra long double type, being handed over to small children to steer and control the speeds. A lot of mobility scooters seem to be used by able bodied, overweight people to be able to travel around the area cheaply and in comfort. If these people would exercise more by taking a brisk walk every day they would find they don’t need a scooter and might actually enjoy the walks and become healthier. More checks should be done before people are allowed to hire these dangerous vehicles and the police should fine able scooter users and the greedy hire companies who are allowing them to be used for the wrong purposes. Steve
Minister of mayhem FOREIGN minister Garcia-Margallo is being mischievous in raising worries about the UK government having to pay for expat healthcare in Spain. I am surprised that a government minister could be so ignorant and misinformed as to make that statement! The Spanish government already get around £280,000,000 (€360 million) from the UK government, per year, to pay for UK expats healthcare, and have received these payments for years! Whether the NHS in the UK charge Spain for the use of the Health Service by the 150,000 Spanish citizens in the UK is a moot point. Keith

EU expresses irritation
Raising cancer awareness
Investigation to be made
THE European Region of Airports Council International is calling for a swift and responsible solution to the dispute between the UK and Spain over Gibraltar, which it claims is having a damaging impact on European aviation.There is a great deal of irritation that Spain is using the excuse of Gibraltar to block financially important deals such as one with Ukraine.
THE five kilometre ‘Walk for Life’ organised by the Gibraltar branch of Cancer Research took place on October 8, and raised over £6,100 with more than 800 people taking part. This annual ‘Walk for Life’ as well as raising funds, is intended to promote awareness on the devastating effects of cancer which respects no boundaries and hits people from all walks of life.
ALTHOUGH given the ‘all clear,’ the European Commission has decided to carry out an investigation to decide if Gibraltar’s practice of granting tax rulings under the Income Tax Act has breached EU state aid rules. The Gibraltar government believes the decision was made following an observation by the outgoing Spanish Commissioner Joaquin Almunia.

Redundancies announced THE Chief Minister met on October 10 with MoD representatives of ‘Unite the Union’ on issues relating to the recent announcement of voluntary redundancies. The meeting was held at Unite’s request in order for members briefly to update Mr Picardo on information being provided to the Unions and its members by the Ministry of Defence. Mr Picardo said, “As usual, I very much welcomed the opportunity to hear first-hand about the issues facing locally employed civilians working in the Ministry of Defence.” “They have long been the backbone of the United Kingdom’s ability to operate a base from Gibraltar which has both strategic and tactical value well beyond the low cost involved.”

Sovereignty talks rejected by Gibraltar FOLLOWING the return of the Chief and Deputy Chief Ministers from their presentation to the United Nations, Chief Minister Picardo gave a press conference on October 6 to respond to yet another tirade from Spanish interim Foreign Minister Margallo, in which he promised to ‘woo’ Gibraltar, and then warned “Only the big boys play here,” and “I will put the (Spanish) flag there and much sooner than Picardo thinks.” Mr Picardo in his statement said the decision to leave the EU as decided by the referendum, has nothing to do with the
sovereignty of Gibraltar and such a link between the two are only in the mind of the interim Spanish Foreign Minister. In essence, the Chief Minister said Gibraltarians had seen off attempts by many Spanish administrations to reclaim sovereignty over Gibraltar and neither threats nor sweeteners would work. In response, Mr Margallo accused Mr Picardo of acting like an ostrich by sticking his head in the sand, which seems a strange way to persuade people to change allegiance by insults and verbal fisticuffs.

THE Ministry of Culture will be supporting the first Gibraltar International Magic Festival, which will take place from December 5 to 11, and is to be produced by GibMedia. It appears that shows featuring illusion and magic are attracting large audiences around the world and this festival will consist of stage shows, close-up magic, conferences and workshops with award winning acts from Canada, Holland, Japan, the UK, and USA, as well as participants from Gibraltar, all of whom will appear at the John Mackintosh Hall with tickets costing from £10 for some performances, but with many workshops being free of charge. Festival Director Jordan Lopez of GibMedia said, “Watch out for a very special week, which has been 10 years in the making. It’s magic, so expect plenty of surprises.” Minister for Culture, the Hon Steven Linares said, “This is going to be an amazing festival adding an

GORD main symptoms
www.euroweeklynews.com
Holidays not drugs FEELING sick? Going on holiday could be the best cure. Researchers believe holidays could be good for your health as a change of environment turbo-charges the immune system. Their conclusions were made following laboratory tests where mice were given a twoweek stay in a large cage packed with toys and the exciting environment appeared to boost their white blood cells, which fight off infections. A professor from Queen Mary University of London, said the effect was remarkable as the mice had not been given drugs, just a change of housing conditions.
Rogue docs SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. THE main symptoms of GORD (Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease) are often a burning or burning sensation that the sufferer feels in the stomach area right up to the mouth, giving the characteristic bitter taste. In addition you can experience abdominal pain, bad breath, a cough and an increase in mucus, among other symptoms. What should I do if I have GORD? You should go to your doctor and if you can go to a specialist in digestive conditions. A diet that is balanced and healthy with few fatty foods and with few spices or spicy foods can also help to reduce the gastro-oesophageal reflux. In addition doctors recommend that you have light meals, avoiding very big dining or rich food. Regular exercise also helps to control the symptoms. When sleeping a high headboard can also bring much-needed relief. When should I see my doctor? When you begin to experience the first symptoms you should go to your doctor. Some analysis is needed to see evidence of the condition such as
blood, ultrasound of the abdomen and gastroscopy to see the exact extent of the disease. What treatments are available? In addition to the measures mentioned previously, you can start treatment with drugs that control the acidity and the pH value of the stomach’s contents. All these have to be recommended or prescribed by a physician. What complications can occur? It is generally a mild disease, although sometimes it may cause very unpleasant symptoms. In rare cases the disease can cause malignant conditions in the stomach and oesophagus, requiring more aggressive treatments, particularly when it leads to respiratory infections.
If you have any questions for Dr Perez Belmonte, please send them to: jefemedico@helicopterossanitarios.com The Coast’s Home GP service - wherever you are - at home - in the office - in the car - on the golf course your GP will get to see you any time, anywhere. A priceless service at an affordable price.
AS part of a crackdown on plastic surgeons in the UK, an online register is to be created. The register is being drawn up by the Royal College of Surgeons amid fears rogue clinics are using aggressive sales tactics and concerns that doctors have no formal qualifications.

Ask the Optician: Work together to end avoidable blindness Amrik Sappal, Store Director from Specsavers Opticas Fuengirola OCTOBER is Blindness Awareness Month, designed to help people understand the realities of living without sight, also during this month is World Sight Day on October 13. To highlight these important campaigns, we wanted to answer your questions on conditions which can lead to blindness and how to stop avoidable blindness. What is the most common cause of avoidable blindness? Cataracts are responsible for almost 50 per cent of all blindness. It is common around the world, but thankfully in developed countries it can be easily treated with surgery. The WHO Action Plan hopes to give more people access to this sight saving surgery. What other ocular conditions can lead to blindness if not treated? Glaucoma is known as the silent destroyer of sight and is one of the worlds leading causes of blindness, but it can be easily identified with an eye test and treated with drops if caught early. Diabetes can produce diabetic retinopathy, which can permanently impair vision. Not all diabetes leads to vision loss, but
regular screening is important. What can I do to stop avoidable blindness? Most importantly, get your eyes tested regularly and ensure your optician is including eye health tests in this examination. Also, teach children how to care for their eyes, as accidents are responsible for too many cases of blindness in the young. How can I get involved in World Sight Day? Visit the website www.iapb.org/wsd16, downl oad t hei r i nf or m at i on pack and spread the word. Then head to your nearest optician and get your eyes tested, being sure that the test includes a comprehensive health check.

A Surgeon’s Opinion
Achieving better surgery results 1. ASK questions Make sure you understand: • what will happen at the hospital. • the type of procedure you are having. • how long you will be in hospital and who you will be seeing afterwards. • what the procedure is when you leave hospital and how you access pain medication, support and rehabilitation. 2. Prepare the house When you come out of hospital you will most likely be on crutches. Clear easy paths around furniture, pick up any rugs that you can trip on. Make sure that stairs or bathrooms have handrails so that you can help yourself get around. Set up a comfy chair and footstool that you can get to easily. 3. Practice Get crutches and practise using them. Learn to go up and down the stairs properly, how to get in and out of the car and the bath or shower. A fall can seriously damage the new joint and cause complications down the road, so make sure you are comfortable on your crutches so that you use them.
4. Put together a critical information sheet • Names and phone numbers of family or friends. • Doctor contact details. • Any medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure or asthma. • Medications and dosages including vitamins and over the counter medication. • Allergies. • Dietary restrictions. 5. Physical shape The better shape you go into surgery, the better shape you will be coming out! Speak to your surgeon about exercises you can do. If you can, cut down or quit smoking. Eat a nutritious, well balanced diet, you might even lose a bit of weight! No alcohol at least 48 hours before surgery. 6. Organise help If you live alone make sure you have someone to help you drive and do household chores for the first three to six weeks. 7. The night before Pack your bag, don’t forget your phone charger! Have a shower. Try and get a good n i g h t ’s rest!
The best foods for your skin ALTHOUGH a healthy diet is important to skin’s appearance some foods used externally can sharpen up your beauty regime. For instance ground-up seaweed is chock full of amino-acids, vitamins, antioxidants and minerals. Olive oil has stood the test of time with its healthy fats and moisturising combination of vitamin E and A. Natural yoghurt can make an excellent exfoliator and also combat spots due to its anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. Pumpkin is packed full of antioxidants and is a perfect antidote for dry skin.

How important is how you run? By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com IF you want to get active just run, right? But is it that simple? Currently there’s debate about running technique: heel vs toe (or barefoot). What’s the difference? A normal step: 1. Heel contact 2. Outer foot, using the arch 3. Roll onto the toes 4. Push off through big toe
This is heel strike as you land on your heel first. But barefoot or forefoot running is landing on the ball of your foot instead, you will be faster and more efficient as your foot spends less time in contact with the ground. Heel Strike or overstriding? People tend to change their running style for two reasons: 1. Speed 2. Avoid injury. But you could be swapping one set of problems (knee and Achilles tendon issues from heel strike) for another (calf and ankle issues from toe strike). More important things to consider:
Get forward: use lighter shoes with a lower heel to give you an upright, slightly forward leaning posture. Short steps: use short, fast steps not long, slow strides. Your foot should hit the ground directly under your bent knee. Vary your training surface: rough surfaces teach you how to land softly. Work on your core: the better your balance and core muscles the better you land. Find your rhythm: aim for songs with 184bpm to run to. Endurance vs Speed Studies of forefoot vs heel show forefoot running may in-
crease speed but heel striking is economical for muscles. Forefoot running may have more impact on sprinters times while endurance runners will find heel striking less tiring. Injuries tend to be due to muscle fatigue and overuse, so choose the most comfortable style for you. The right shoe and support is critical: extra heel cushioning if you’re a heavy heel striker, additional arch and metatarsal support if you prefer forefoot.

THE Centro de Arte Contemporáneo of Malaga is pleased to present the first Spanish production of ‘To Breathe - Zone of Zero’ by Korean artist Kimsooja, which will run from October to January 8 2017. The exhibition, curated by Fernando Frances, consists of a video and a new sitespecific work created especially for this venue. Visitors will be welcomed by 700 Buddhist lanterns shaped like lotus flowers while Tibetan, Gregorian and Islamic chants play in the background. Kimsooja’s practice encompasses installations, performances, photographs and videos. Her work, found in international biennials, galleries and museums, strikes a harmonious balance between an aesthetic dominated by colour and minimalism, her interest in daily life and the genuine problems of the world. For Fernando Frances, Kimsooja “challenges the spectator’s conscience with her work. Influenced by Cézanne as a girl and by John Cage as a teenager, she has never considered herself a feminist; in her view, this term simplifies and limits her ideas.
KIMSOOJA: Sharing her vision. “She rejects the idea of belonging to just one group, to a single -ism. She accepts that others may classify her as a conceptualist, globalist, feminist or minimalist, but fully embracing these labels would reduce her options for expressing the situation of
women, it would pigeonhole her.” Kimsooja (b. Taegu, South Korea, 1957) is one of the most prominent Korean artists working today, and is internationally renowned for her installations, photographs, performances and videos. She has lived and worked in New York since 1998, and her work has been shown at museums and art centres across the globe, including the Vancouver Art Gallery (Canada), Museum Kunst Palast (Germany), Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea - PAC (Italy), Musée d’Art contemporain de Lyon (France) and the MoMA (USA). She was born in Taegu, the third largest city in Korea, famous for its textile industry. As the daughter of an army officer, she lived in the demilitarised zone in South Korea, and her childhood was spent constantly moving with her family from city to city. She is keenly aware of the problematic issues of borders, otherness (the relationship between self and the other), gender inequality and nomadism. Today Kimsooja is still a nomad, constantly travelling to share her vision of the world.

Sensation of water magic A UNIQUE evening festival is coming to the Costa del Sol on Friday October 14. A water festival by name but a terrific cultural shindig by nature the Torremolinos affair will see dozens of renowned local artists performing on stage. The gig will take place at the House of Navajas and is entirely free of charge after 8pm. With musical, artistic and literary talent all taking part the recurring theme will be water and how it has transformed the region’s past and present. Vibrant combinations of theatre and dance will be accompanied by jarring soul and funk performances as the festival goes all out on the entertainment stakes and promises to be a raucous affair. Though essentially a publicity stunt by a water company looking to present its new corporate image that shouldn’t overshadow what promises to be a fantastic evening well worth a venture, funds raised will also help the organisers create a social net for vulnerable local residents and help raise awareness of water related and environmental issues. Even local mayor Jose Ortiz will be in attendance alongside the crème de la crème of the Torremolinos social scene making the event an unmissable addition to the social scene calendar.
Soul reunion on the Rock and on the coast By Matthew Elliott LEGENDARY and inspirational in equal measure, the famous spirit medium Derek Acorah is bringing his Soul Reunion tour to Benalmadena and Gibraltar this weekend, opening up wild possibilities for anyone looking for some serious psychic excitement. In an industry where there are more fakes than ghosts, Derek Acorah has appealed to even the cynics and been a constant presence both on screen and behind the scenes for true believers and paranormal detectives. With a sincere yet friendly approach he has delivered warmth ironically through cold subjects with a natural ease, often absent from others within the industry. The television star, who has fronted his own psychic television shows for more than a decade and even appeared on Doctor Who, will be on the Rock and on the coast as he brings his acclaimed UK tour to Spain. Acorah, who was born Derek Johnson in Bootle, has frequently endured criticism from pessimists in the media but has ploughed on regardless and continues to draw thousands of believers to his
live shows. Having toured the UK for many years showcasing his paranormal abilities, Acorah claims to be the UK’s No1 psychic medium and has devoted himself to investigating and uncovering spiritual entities hiding in haunted locations. So if you’ve got an open mind and are an intrigued spirit, then make your presence known to the amazing Derek Acorah! This truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see one of the very best in the world demonstrate that the world as you know it is never quite what it seems. You can find Derek at the Inces theatre in Gibraltar on Friday October 14 at 7.30pm and the Sunset Beach Hotel in Benalmadena on Monday October 17 at 8.30pm. Tickets should be purchased online or at the Sunset Beach Leisure desk, not conjured out of thin air by will power, and cost between €28 and €59. DEREK ACORAH: Bringing his acclaimed tour to Spain.

No remote for Trump Mike Senker
In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man MOST of the things I grump about affect all of us by the responses I get from this column. But this week I’ve been watching the news that May has given a date to invoke Article 50 and the US elections and they’ve made me seriously grumpy and here’s why. I have a dislike and mistrust of all politicians and my opinion will never change. The whole Brexit vote was a farce. I watched my pension go down again this week and to be honest that’s all I care about because I live in ‘now’ time not the future. I say that, not out of selfishness, but because I know from over 60 years of listening to their promises and lies, nothing they say will materialise. They wriggle out of or just won’t do what they said they would. The UK won’t go back to how it was... whatever that means. All the extra business that will flood to UK manufacturers won’t be passed on pricewise to the punter. Our prices only ever go up. As a Brit, living in Spain, I normally take little interest in US politics but this nutter Trump is seriously peeing me off. How can anyone se-
riously want to give this xenophobic, racist, misogynistic, narcissistic buffoon the power and access to launch nuclear missiles at anyone he gets the hump with? He wants to build a wall along the Mexican border, deport 11 million illegal immigrants and thinks climate change is just ‘weather!’ How can anyone even consider him after hearing what he said about women on a video released this week? Even his running mate backed off. If you’ve not seen it, find it on YouTube and also what he said about Rosie O’Donnell and the Miss Universe contestant. By the way, if you think not paying federal tax for 15 years makes you smart, does that mean all the people that do are idiots? Hillary comes with baggage too. All her old man’s affairs and the odd hooky deleted email, well maybe 45,000 isn’t small, but given the choice she has to be the best of a bad lot. At least she has some clue about political protocol unlike Trump who, although he has some business acumen, has zero people skills. He knocks his suppliers, has been bankrupt four times and lost money owning casinos. I can’t imagine him talking to any world leader especially if they are women, Muslim, black, Hispanic or Asian... basically anyone except Putin. Never mind the nuclear missile controls. I wouldn’t give him my TV remote control. Email mikesenker@gmail your thoughts.

Driving convictions AS part of the series, we answer some common driving questions and keep you updated on the latest driving and road news kindly provided by members of the Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.
GUARDIA CIVIL: Carried out fewer breath tests although drug tests increased. THE latest figures by the Attorney General last month show that in 2015 there were a total of 83,283 convictions for road traffic offences in Spain. Of these, 57,313 entailed the removal of driving rights, most of which were with the agreement of the offender. In addition, there were 2,352 sentences which resulted in the loss of validity of the driving licence, 50,000 were fines and over 31,000 community service orders were issued. During last year there were fewer breath tests by the Guardia Civil traffic officers, with 5,741,000 tests in 2015, compared to 6,300,000 in 2014. They resulted in 80,388 disciplinary proceedings for alcohol related offences, compared to 94,638 in 2014. There was however a dramatic increase in the num-
ber of drug tests conducted in 2015, with 76,000, compared to 29,463 tests in 2014. The Attorney General figures show that prosecutions have generally fallen in 2015 compared to the number of criminal proceedings initiated in 2014. This has been attributed to “the effectiveness of the criminal response to this type of crime” as well as an increased awareness amongst drivers. The Attorney General’s office said the effective implementation of the law is “not the only prerequisite to reduce incidents,” it also involved improving the state of roads, signage, lighting and improving the ageing fleet of vehicles on the roads. The report also stressed the need for road safety education which is more important than ever to further reduce tragedies occurring on public roads.

More on water damage I HAVE an underground parking space in our building, and I recently observed water dripping from the ceiling. The floor was already covered with water. I reported to the Administrator, who informed the Insurance of the Community. The next day, an expert came to observe the damage. At that time the water drip had stopped. The specialist reported that the water drip was caused by the water company when they changed a water meter. The water had damaged my golf cart, so I expected the Insurance of the Community to cover the damage. The Administration informed me that the Insurance policy of the Community does not cover the damage as the cause was not a Community failure. I cannot accept this and ask you how to proceed. P.M.

Growing figs in Spain By Graeme Tyrrell AUTUMN brings a dramatic change to the countryside in Spain. If you like to have your own fruit trees, there are various types for every season due to the milder winters. Figs are so typical in the Mediterranean landscape. They are perfectly acclimatised for all but the high mountainous regions of Spain. This makes them one of the easiest to grow. They benefit from compost and a little nitrogen rich additions to the soil. They do well in containers using a quality potting mixture. The fig is deliciously sweet and fascinating in their growth structure. The fruit is rich in natural sugars, various minerals and high in fibre. The leaves and fruit appear on the branches at the same time in spring. No flowers are observed as, strangely, the flowers are enclosed in the fruit. They are pollinated internally and have male and female components, so a single tree still produces mature
fruit with seeds. The main fruiting time is in autumn, but autumn rains can create a growth spurt with new fruits starting to form. This flush of new growth is usually put to a stop by the cold of win-
ter. The deciduous fig trees leaves will fall but the undeveloped fruits will remain. The fruit can be eaten fresh off the tree or dried on racks in the sun or with a fruit drying unit.
and also the world’s most famous mattress manufacturer SEALY. Pocket sprung, memory foam, winter/summer side mattresses, you will find them all and most with next day delivery. Not only are there the most amazing range of beds to choose like the crushed velvet ‘Versailles’ model or the divan bases with handy storage, but there is also a collection of furniture to suit all tastes: mirrored bedside tables, Chesterfield sofas, shabby chic consoles, decorative mirrors, pictures and lots of unusual occasional pieces.

FINDING FIDO: Leave an item of your clothing where the dog went missing.

AFTER many days of fruitless searching, a friend of mine had almost given up hope of finding his dog. But then he learned about this awesome tip and how this has reunited many lost dogs with their families. So I decided to pass this on. On day 12 of searching for his dog in a heavily wooded area, distraught and hopeless, he ran into a couple of hunters. They said they lost the occasional dog on a hunt but always got them back. What they told him helped many dogs and families to reunite. So I am passing on this advice in the hope that it will help those who are grieving for a lost dog. It may give you a way to get them back. The dog owner should take an article of clothing that has been worn at least all day, the longer the better, so the lost dog can pick up the scent.

Lost your dog? Try this advice
David THE Dogman
Costa del Sol
13 - 19 October 2016
Bring the article of clothing to the location where the dog was last seen and leave it there. Also, if the dog has a crate and a familiar toy bring those too (unless the location is undesirable for a crate). You might also want to leave a note requesting items not to be moved. Leave a bowl of water too, as the dog probably hasn’t had access to any. Do not bring food as this could attract other animals that the dog might avoid. Come back the next day, or check intermittently if possible. Hopefully the dog will be waiting there. My friend was sceptical and doubted his dog would be able
to detect an article of clothing if he didn’t hear him calling his name as loud as possible all day for 12 days. But he returned the next day and sure enough found him sitting there! I hope this helps someone out there who is missing a best friend. Good luck! Please share to help more families find their missing four-legged family members. Also, do this on the day you lose your dog and don’t wait 12 days, and return to the last place many times. If you find that this tip has helped you to be reunited with your pet please inform me so that I may pass this on to others: david@thedogman.net.
Sad message about Martha the friendliest donkey ever House-sitting can be a win-win for both parties, free house and pet-sitting and the experienced and checked sitters get free accommodation! To find a pet-sitter go to www.HousesitMatch.com or call Lamia on 00 44 (0) 777 214 2742. THOSE of you who have been reading this column for a couple of years may remember Martha. We told her story a while ago and that our regular house-sitters said she is just about the friendliest donkey you could ever hope to meet. Although, it has to be said, that here at the HouseSitMatch office we regularly hear from sitters that they love
caring for donkeys because of their general dem eanour : pr et t y l ai d back on the whole and often very, very engaging. Sadly Martha passed away recently and her owner wrote to tell us they are also moving to Spain! She had reached the ripe old age of 15 years which is pretty good for a donkey. Her owners say they are keen to get another donkey but they’re not sure if they’ll be able to find one with a personality like Martha! What is your experience? Do you have a friendly donkey where you live in Spain? Do you need house-sitters to
care for those donkeys while you travel away from home? Do get in touch. We h a v e l o t s o f house-sitters who just love donkeys and we’d love to help you. Do you need a sitter? Get in touch. House-sitting can be a win-win for both parties, free house and pet-sitting, and the experienced and checked sitters get free accommodation!

OPINION & COMMENT
Chamber musical chairs - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
PEDRO SANCHEZ (right) should have moved back to the fifth row in the national parliament chamber, directly behind Eduardo Madina, his defeated rival in the 2014 primaries. Sanchez tried to keep Madina out of parliament by placing him in a lowly position on PSOE voting lists in December and June. He succeeded in December but failed in June and Madina, with exquisite sensibility, has now declined to move. It was unseemly for him to sit in front of a former secretary general, Madina explained. Or maybe he didn’t want Sanchez breathing down his neck.
Copycat politics THE president of the PSOE’s caretaker committee recently used a word that does not appear in the Royal Academy’s Diccionario de la Lengua Española. “The PSOE has become Podemised,” Javier Fernandez said. This resembles a swear-word and the sim-
Spilling the beans FRANCISCO CORREA, who gave the German translation of his surname to the Gurtel corruption case, is standing trial for fraud, fiscal fraud, money-laundering and a list of offences as long as your arm. Correa announced beforehand he intends to cooperate fully with the justice system and reveal all he knows. “No politician has done anything for me,” he said although this is not entirely true as Correa amassed a multi-million fortune thanks to Partido Popular contracts. Sleepness nights and bitten nails for how many PP politicians?
ilarity was intentional. Ex-secretary general Pedro Sanchez erred by trying to copy Podemos, the party that has stolen so many PSOE votes. Inevitably he was shafted by the party barons before he could do more damage: imitations flatter the emulated and demean the emulator.
Be prepared WHILE the PSOE bloodletting continued, Catalan separatists went their own way. Regional president Carles Puigdemont’s promise of a September 2017 referendum leading to a unilateral declaration of independence was noticed but barely digested. Unlike Brexiters who were stunned to

have won the June referendum, Catalan secessionists say they are prepared for the Great Escape. The next day the Administration, institutions and economy will switch from national to nationalist without a hitch, Puigdemont declared. He failed to reveal how he’ll deal with Remainers who wake up in a different country. Or, heaven forbid, cope with Exiters who wake up in the same one. PEDRO SANCHEZ: Should have moved back to the fifth row, directly behind Eduardo Madina.

for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive.

The Grand Tour begins Unleashing the beast THE GRAND TOUR, the hotly anticipated motoring show fronted by Jeremy Clarkston and his merry men James May and Richard Hammond debuts in November. The mystery surround-
ing the project is disappearing. An appearance on James Corden’s show, the Englishman trying to take over late-night American TV, saw the trio finally answer some questions.
It first airs on November 18 on the Amazon Prime online streaming service and there will be three 12-episode series. The format will be broadly similar to Top Gear under the ‘don’t fix it if it’s not broken’ approach. The first UK stop will be in the seaside town of Whitby, North Yorkshire. Famous guests will include Oscar-winners Charlize Theron and Matt Damon. LaFerrari from Ferrari, the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder will be the debut supercars and the budget will be four times that of Top Gear, which means they can officially blow up 1,125 caravans per episode if their hearts so desire. Most of the filming takes place in South Africa, but as the name suggests the team will tour the world, with the UK, Germany and America pencilled in. ‘The Grand Tour’ was the name chosen after Clarkson blew thousands on asking lawyers whether other names were taken and had to settle on something or sell his collection.
By Matthew Elliott HYUNDAI’s Santa Fe will be getting a serious upgrade. The American branch of the Korean motoring powerhouse has unveiled the prototype of what is surely the wildest reboot in history. Working with Rockstar Performance the firm has transformed the modest familyfriendly SUV into a monstrous nitrogen-powered off-road beast with 35 inch tyres. With KING suspension, a custom Mag-
naflow exhaust system, six piston calipers on the front brakes, custom roof-rack, Mishimoto cooling system and four-wheel drive, it’s safe to say that the future destroyer, set to debut at the SEMA show in Vegas, is a spectacular slap in the face to the sleek, elecSANTE FE 2015: Getting a serious upgrade.

THERE has been enough sport worldwide to suit everybody over this last week and there is plenty more to come. FOOTBALL Wayne Rooney was booed by a section of fans in the near-82,000 Wembley crowd as pass-happy England beat Malta (ranked 201st in the world) 2-0 in their 2018 WC qualifier last Saturday. Rooney, playing in midfield, made almost 50 square passes and only sent the ball forward 17 times. It’s like playing J i m m y Greaves or A l a n Shearer in midfield

Olazábal set to return at the British Masters JOSE MARIA OLAZÁBAL is set to make his long-awaited comeback from a protracted injury battle at this week’s British Masters supported by Sky Sports. The two-time Major winner and victorious 2012 European Ryder Cup Captain will makes his first appearance in more than 18 months at The Grove, before heading straight to the Portugal Masters.
Olazábal has been forced to take several breaks from the game during his career due to an ongoing problem with rheumatoid arthritis that flared up throughout his illustrious 31 years on the European Tour. During that period he has amassed 23 European Tour titles, but it was the second of his two Masters Tournament wins in 1999 that was seen as his major triumph over adversity, as he battled back from the foot injury that almost ended his career. Olazábal, who is now also eligible for the Senior Tour after turning 50 in February, believes the next few weeks of action will be crucial. He said: “I am very excited to compete again. I want to see how the body can cope with the
regular competition rhythm of practice and 18 holes. “The problem is due to an inflammation of the extremities of the tendons, and it’s been a long process of recovery. I hit rock bottom last December and started improving slowly from January. “Although I’m feeling better, I’m still not at 100 per cent. The pain is not so bad now, it gets a bit painful from time to time, but I think that’s just getting old!” After his first Masters win in 1994, Olazábal missed the 1996 tournament as he recovered from rheumatoid polyarthritis in three joints of his right foot and two in his left. He spent 18 months out amid fears that he could be confined to a wheelchair, but battled back to secure
a second Green Jacket in 1999. The Spaniard modestly hopes for a low-key comeback this time around, in his first British Masters appearance since 2004. Of course, Olazábal is no stranger to comebacks having masterminded possibly the greatest in European golf history at Medinah in 2012, as his Ryder Cup team overcame a 10-6 deficit in the final day singles to edge a thrilling contest 14½-13½. As he prepares for another, he jokes that his previous exploits may have been forgotten following his absence. “I would like my comeback to com-
petition to be as discreet as possible,” he said. “I don’t think I’m the big news story, that belongs to the younger players. “In any case, I’ve been out of the European Tour for such a long time that I will need to introduce myself at the driving range at The Grove and Oceânico Victoria. My opening line might need to be ‘Hello, I am José María, nice to meet you’.”
OLAZÁBAL: Been out with injury.
