E.COLI OUTBREAk - National news

Spain gears up for compensation row Germany has come under fire for its wild claims about the El.coli outbreak which has cost Spanish farmers millions in lost production. And a row is brewing after the Spanish government said that proposed compensation levels were insuﬃcient. John Dalli, the EU health commissioner, said Germany had drawn premature and inaccurate conclusions about the source of the contaminated food which has killed 22 people and spread fears across Europe.

ICKHAM’S

WORLD Amazing!

By Kym Wickham k.wickham@thenewsonline.es

A few weeks ago our immersion heater that has been in the house for 15 years gave up the ghost and every time you plugged it back in, it blew all the electrics. First thing I did was plug in a hairdryer to check that it wasn’t a fault with the electrics but, no, that was all fine. As the thing holds 150 litres of water, it’s quite hefty and to replace it with the same size was going to cost around €350 - OuCH! So we asked one plumber who said it was impossible to get the parts for it but then found out that we could get Cointra parts in Malaga. It took us a week for them to get the parts then dudley Plumb came along this morning and fixed it for us. While this is all very interesting and I’m sure you’re all fascinated by my boiler problems, I was actually amazed at how the things work. The element and thermostat that sits inside it had to be replaced and getting the old one out was a real pain. There were two buckets - the square floor washing sized ones - of cal and general stones and muck that came out before the new ones could be fitted. Poor dudley was up to his elbows in the stuﬀ! And to think that I used to drink this water - I must have a fabulous immune system is all I can say! The other thing I have to say this week is “Bull bars”. A friend bought a brand new 4 wheel drive with these fitted but nobody told him that the bull bars - not the car have to be ITV’d every year whether the car needs an ITV or not. Bet a lot of us didn’t know this, and how mad is that?

FRONT PAGE

Spain set for compensation row Spain's fruit and vegetables exporters association has estimated losses at €225 million a week. Mr Dalli told the European Parliament: "I stress that the outbreak is limited geographically to the area surrounding the city of Hamburg, so there is no reason to take action on a European level. EU-wide measures against any product are disproportionate.” But he admitted that bans on certain products were a Europe-wide problem. Russia has banned imports of fresh vegetables from the EU. Detailing how the crisis unfolded, he said that originally pinpointing

cucumbers from Spain as the source had been wrong. He said: "It's crucial that national authorities don't rush to give information on the source of infection when it's not justified by the science. That creates fears and problems for our food producers. We must be careful not to make premature conclusions."

After he spoke, Spanish delegate Francisco SosaWagner held up a cucumber during his speech, saying: "We need to restore the honour of the cucumber."

Mounting criticism EU agriculture ministers want to know how close

experts are to identifying the source, amid mounting criticism of the investigation. On Monday, Germany's Lower Saxony agriculture ministry said that "investigations are continuing", as it announced that the first 23 tests of 40 samples from the organic farm in Uelzen had proved negative. He said that given the complex testing procedure, the remaining 17 samples may not be returned for a few more days. All the deaths from the outbreak, bar one in Sweden, have been in Germany. Twelve countries have been affected, with the cases outside Germany linked to travel there.

Protesters prepare for swearing-ins Emissaries from the 56 towns where the 15-M protest movement has taken hold met in the Puerta del Sol in Madrid on Sunday and decided to hold public demonstrations on June 11th, when the mayors elected in the local elections on May 22nd are to be sworn in. The swearing-ins will be "boycotted with boos" to keep alive a movement aimed against the entire

political class, which the protesters insist is corrupt and out of touch with ordinary people's needs. Other initiatives include sending "zombie guards" to escort politicians during public events and to demand a referendum on electoral reform. The three-week sit-in in the Puerta del Sol is continuing, despite a warning by the government that it cannot last indefinitely.

EU advises raising IVA The European Commission has asked Spain to raise its added value tax, IVA, as well as the taxes on energy sources to compensate for the government's loss of revenue from other sources. The EC also asked the Spanish government to reform collective

Brussels predicts that the Spanish economy will grow only 0.8 per cent this year and 1.5 per cent in 2012, as opposed to the government's predictions of 1.3 per cent and 2.3 per cent respectively.

National News Industry, tourism and trade minister Miguel Sebastian told reporters on Monday that the government is considering keeping the lower speed limit introduced in April until at least the end of the summer.

Petrol prices have dropped slightly since then, and so have road deaths, which the government said would be one of the results of the lower limit. Between

January and the end of May, 561 people died in road accidents, 59 fewer than during the same period last year, representing a drop of 9.5 per cent. Road deaths in Spain were once the highest in Europe but have been dropping steadily for several years. The Traffic Authority's Highway Safety

The debate of the state of the nation, the last which José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero will attend as head of government, will be held in Parliament at the end of June. Speaker José Bono said the debate on general policies would be held on June 28th and 29th and the last day would be reserved for voting on the proposals presented by the different parliamentary groups.

The debate had originally been scheduled for July, after the ordinary parliamentary sessions had ended, but Sr Bono said he had proposed holding them within the period constitutionally denominated as ordinary in order to avoid making the debate look “exceptional”. It was a perfectly ordinary parliamentary procedure, Sr Bono said.

Heads or tails Three towns have ended up tossing a coin to decide who their mayors will be, after the two main parties ended up with the same number of votes in the May 22nd local elections. The Partido Popular’s Mariano González will be mayor of Lujar in Granada province, and the coin also favoured the PP in Os Blancos in Galicia, where it fell for Juan Manuel Andrade, and in Navaridas in La Rioja, where Miguel Ángel Fernández won the toss. In Lujar the Socialist

candidate, Diego Estévez Cabrera, accepted his defeat gracefully but said he thought a second round of voting would have been more logical.

Four women were killed in less than 72 hours between Thursday and Saturday last week, just days after health minister Leire Pajin had asked the media to play down reports on such murders to avoid copycat killings. None of the women had reported their partners to police, even

though there was sufficient proof of abuse in all four cases.

However, Spain’s election laws allow for coin tossing when ties occur.

Councillors give up oﬃcial cars All five Union, Progreso and Democracia party's councillors elected to Madrid City Hall on March 22nd have said they will not be using the official cars, drivers and bodyguards assigned to them. Jaime Berenguer, 43, a professor of psychology, said he had three children and when he couldn't use the family car, he'd use public transport. The other four councillors agreed with him, saying it was “an exaggeration to have a fleet of 134 vehicles”. They said they would only use the council's cars to attend official ceremonies.

Guardia warn against latest scam Spate of gender killings The Guardia Civil’s internet crime group warned on Monday that a group of people are using the May 15th/Real Democracy Now movement to obtain people’s personal details by asking them to sign a petition for a fictitious Popular Legislative

Initiative. A Guardia spokesman said that given the movement’s high profile on news broadcasts most people are not surprised to receive such a request. The recipients are asked to forward an attached form to all their contacts because the group needs a minimum

of 500,000 signatures to supports its demand for the reform of the justice and election systems. The spokesman said that for such a demand to be legally valid, the signatures have to be collected on paper before they can be presented to Parliament.

The murder of Ines Alvares, 64, Teresa Cuervo, 82, Miren Canales, 41, and Rosa Galera, 28, brings the number of gender violence-related deaths to 27 so far this year.

Royal Household signals new rules for media King Juan Carlos was discharged from the San Jose Clinic in Madrid on Sunday after undergoing knee surgery there on Friday. The 90 minute procedure to insert an artificial knee was carried out to alleviate pain from old sporting injuries suffered during his younger years as a keen sailor and skier. The 73-year-old king was caught on camera snapping at the media a day before the operation, chiding them for being “obsessed with my health”. At a press call after a breakfast meeting with the executives of training companies, he was asked how he was feeling. "Terrible, terrible, terrible, can't you see that?" the King snapped back, then added: "What you like to do is kill me and have me in a coffin every day.” The comments were captured on camera and became an

instant You-tube hit. The king had not realised he was being filmed. The Royal Household said the king intended to have a breakfast for the media later this week to inform them personally about the new rules. There has been speculation about the king's health since he was admitted to hospital in May last year to have a tumour removed from his lung. More recently, a noticeable discolouring around the eyes led to rumours of haematomas, which were later dispelled. His recent sporting of a somewhat straggly beard led to more comments about his “sickly appearance”. Crown Prince Felipe has been hosting more official

He said its members came from the Left and the ecologist movement whose aim was to “refresh” the Left and save it from disappearing.

MADRID

Another tax snarl up Two weeks ago, the Tax Oﬃce had Partido Popular-Andalucia leader Javier Arenas and his wife registered as dead. Last week, it sent a tax form to a man who had already been dead 20 years. Not only that, but the form was in Catalan, and “we've never lived anywhere in Catalonia, have no relatives or ever had property there”, the man's son told reporters. The only connection was that the son worked for the Madrid branch of a Catalan company. MADRID

Law to cap bankers' bonuses The cabinet last Friday approved a law to crack down on the bonus mentality in the banking system, which almost brought the world economy to its knees through risky lending strategies. The law, which incorporates a European Commission directive aimed at reducing risks in the financial sector, allows the Bank of Spain greater supervision over bankers' salaries and incentives. The EC wants to tackle "perverse pay incentives by requiring banks and investment firms to have sound remuneration policies that do not encourage or reward excessive risk-taking." MADRID

Jobless figures down The number of registered unemployed people fell in May by 79,701, or 1.87 per cent, 4.18 million. This does not include the more than half a million jobless who are not eligible for unemployment benefits. It was the second-biggest fall for May since 1997, and coincided with the start of the tourist season, when service companies - which account for about two-thirds of all jobs in Spain - take on more staﬀ. Unemployment fell for the first time this year in April.

'Phantom voters' exposed

Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (Nisa) has more than doubled its estimate of radiation that escaped from the tsunami-hit Fukushima nuclear plant in the first week after the disaster, from 370,000 to 770,000 terabecquerels. Although the amount is just 15 per cent of the total released at Chernobyl in Ukraine in 1986 - the world's worst nuclear disaster - it suggests the contamination of the area around the plant is worse than first thought. Nisa also

of radiation in other areas and chief cabinet secretary Yukio Edano has said more evacuations are being considered. Monitoring shows the lie of the land and wind patterns may be causing a build-up of radiation in other areas.

A leaked version of the voters' roll contains some 2.5m too many names, according to a report by the South African Institute of Race Relations. It found that there are more than 41,000 people aged over 100 - four times more than in the UK, which has a far larger population and longer life expectancy, and nearly 17,000 were born on the same day, January 1st 1901. A spokesman said the phantom vote is more than enough to settle the outcome of any election. AUSTRALIA

Fingerprinting breakthrough

Congressman sent Beef sales drop underpants photo after abattoir film New York congressman Anthony Weiner has admitted sending a close-up picture of his crotch to a young woman, but said he will not resign. Mr Weiner had initially said his Twitter account had been hacked when a photo of a man's crotch in grey underpants was sent from it last week. At a press conference on Monday he admitted this was not true, saying that he had "panicked". A tearful Mr Weiner told reporters he was "deeply ashamed of my terrible judgement". He said he deeply regretted what he had done but that he did not intend to resign. The Democratic representative

also acknowledged "inappropriate" communications with six women he met online both before and after he married Huma Abedin, a top aide to US secretary of state Hillary Clinton, last year. But he said he had not met the women, and had never had sex outside his marriage. Mr Weiner, a native New Yorker and former New York City Council member, is known for his outspoken liberal views and was widely expected to run for New York mayor in 2013.

Australian butchers have reported a drop in beef sales of 10-15 per cent since ABC broadcast an investigation into animal cruelty in Indonesian abattoirs last week which featured graphic footage of animals being slashed and whipped. The Australian government has since suspended live animal exports to the abattoirs shown but the programme has had a profound effect on public opinion and the prime minister Julia Gillard is facing increased demands for a blanket ban on all live animal exports to Indonesia. Some 700,000 cattle are exported from Australia

each year, the vast majority to Indonesia, and the meat and livestock industry fears that rural livelihoods could be destroyed if a blanket ban comes into effect.

Researchers at the University of Technology in Sydney have developed a new way of recovering usable fingerprints from old evidence, using nanotechnology to detect dry and weak ones which are not revealed by traditional techniques. They said it would

help police to reopen and hopefully solve cold cases. The scientists said their research, which is continuing, was an important step forward in eﬀorts to conquer one of the great goals of forensic science - to recover fingerprints from human skin.

SYRIA It has therefore proposed a compromise, whereby Australian cattle would only be slaughtered at Indonesian abattoirs which met international standards. Animal welfare groups, however, are planning a national day of action later in the month.

Police 'killed in clashes' Eighty members of the Syrian security forces have been killed in clashes in the north-western town of Jisr al-Shughour, state TV has reported. Foreign media are greatly restricted and details of such reports cannot be independently verified. If confirmed, it would be the deadliest such incident since protests against President Assad began in March. The claim came a day after rights activists said at least 35 people, including police, had been killed inthe town, which is close to the Turkish border.

Global war on drugs a failure The global war on drugs has "failed" according to a new report by the Global Commission on Drug Policy which has called for the legalisation of some drugs and an end to the criminalisation of drug users. The 19-member commission includes former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, former presidents of Mexico, Brazil and Colombia, as well as the former US Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker and the entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson. The panel also features prominent Latin American writers Carlos Fuentes and Mario Vargas Llosa, the EU's former foreign policy chief Javier Solana, and George Schultz, a former US secretary of state. The 24-page report says antidrug policy has failed by fuelling organised crime, costing taxpayers millions of dollars and causing thousands of deaths. It cites UN estimates that opiate use increased 35 per cent worldwide from 1998 to 2008, cocaine by 27 per cent, and cannabis by 8.5 per cent. It criticises

governments who claim the current war on drugs is effective. "Political leaders and public figures should have the courage to articulate publicly what many of them acknowledge privately: that the evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates that repressive strategies will not solve the drug problem, and that the war on drugs has not, and cannot, be won," the report said. Instead of punishing users who "do no harm to others," the commission argues that governments should end criminalisation of drug use, experiment with legal models to undermine organised crime syndicates and offer health and treatment services for drug-users. It calls for drug policies based on methods empirically proven to reduce crime and promote economic and

social development. The commission says the US must abandon anticrime approaches to drug policy and adopt strategies rooted in healthcare and human rights. The US and Mexican governments have rejected the findings as misguided. "Drug addiction is a disease that can be successfully prevented and treated," said a spokesman for the Office of National Drug Control Policy. "Making drugs more available...will make it harder to keep our communities healthy and safe."

UK News New controls to protect youngsters Join FREE today!

Leading retailers are signing up to a code of practice designed to protect British youngsters from “sexualisation” The code will form part of a raft of measures targeted at protecting children. The British Retail Consortium has launched new guidelines in response to demands for restrictions on inappropriate children’s clothing and has made clear that shops should be responsive to parents’ anxieties and complaints.

The Helle Hollis Home Owners Car Rental Club offers Costa del Sol residents and holiday home owners significant savings on car hire for themselves, their friends and relatives.

Bras for sub-teen girls, provocative lacy underwear aimed at tots and raunchy slogans on tee shirts have all come under the spotlight, and sparked criticism by those who fear that young girls are being encouraged to dress far older than their years. Nine stores – Asda, Debenhams, Argos, John Lewis, Next, Marks and Spencer, Peacocks, Sainsbury’s and Tesco – have all signed up and others are being asked to take part. The code was announced to coincide with the results on Monday

LOOK at all these benefits:

of a review into commercialisation and sexualisation of children, called for by prime minister David Cameron. He has stopped his six-year-old daughter Nancy listening to Lily Allen songs because of their sexual content. The wide-ranging review was carried out by the chief executive of the Mothers Union, Reg Bailey. Its proposals will make it easier to block adult content on mobile phones, prohibit inappropriate advertising from billboards near schools and playgrounds, and to introduce age limits for raunchy videos. The last series of X Factor sparked a

row when hundreds of parents complained about overtly sexy costumes and dancing on TV at a time when young children would be watching and parents will be invited to make their views known online about pre and post watershed content. Mr Cameron has backed the review’s findings and welcomed the retail code. He will hold a summit in October bringing together retailers, advertisers, broadcasters, magazine editors, video games and music industry bosses, industry chiefs and regulators to review progress.

Wedding dress will draw crowds Kate Middleton's wedding dress will prove to be a huge draw for tourists when it goes on public display at Buckingham Palace during the summer.

The dress, designed by Sarah Burton, creative director at Alexander McQueen, will be the star exhibit during the annual opening of the state rooms at the Palace - tickets cost £17.50. The display will also include William and Kate's wedding cake, but not Pippa Middleton's bridesmaid dress, or the outfits worn by the small bridesmaids and page boys. A spokesman for the Royal

Collection, which organises the annual opening, said the aim was "to focus on the British design and craftsmanship of the Duchess's ensemble” rather than to create a wedding tableau. The dress will be on show in the ballroom from July 23rd until October 3rd. Kate's handmade bridal shoes, her diamond earrings - a gift from her parents - and the 1936 Cartier halo tiara lent by the Queen, will also

For whom the bell tolls...

It’s my mummy

It’s a case for Miss Marple as folk in a picturesque Yorkshire village try to solve the mystery of the pensioner who has a grudge against bell ringers.

A tiny abandoned penguin chick has been fooled by zoo keepers into thinking that a black industrial rubber glove is its mother. Keepers at Living Coasts in Torquay, Devon, have customised the glove to help them hand rear the chick, which was abandoned before it was hatched.

The irate man last week imprisoned a group of bellringers in a 150 foot high belfry. It’s thought he took his revenge after working up a rage two hours into a three hour peal. He clambered two flights of steps at the St John The Divine Church in Sharow, near Ripon in North Yorkshire, popped his head through the trap door, shouted abuse including threats to the bellringers’ cars, and jammed the door shut with a piece of wood. The eight strong group of expert bellringers from Abingdon in Oxfordshire were trapped for half an

hour before a parishioner heard them stamping on the floor and investigated the noise. Local sleuths believe the spoilsport could be the same man who carried out a grudge campaign against local bellringers a while back – at that time he wedged a potato in the exhaust of a car belonging to one of them. Villagers have been mortified by the incident. Local bellringers regularly practise on a Tuesday, and a group from Ripon Cathedral sometimes practise on a Wednesday, plus there is a three hour peal on Sundays. The search is on for a man aged between 60 and 70, thin, with an angular face and a green check shirt. Plenty of clues for the Marple fans.

The glove has been decorated with red eyes and yellow plumes so that it mimics an adult macaroni penguin. Zoo keepers use it during feeding to stop the chick becoming too used to humans. The chick is fed by syringe every three hours, with a blended mixture of filleted herring, krill, vitamins and water. Staff are also playing the chick a recording of the sounds made by a macaroni penguin group.

Portrait of an earthly paradise

Praise for foreign animal lovers In a long interview with the Malaga Hoy newspaper on the ups and downs of animal care, the president of Malaga's Official Veterinary College, Antonio Villalba, credited the presence of so many foreign residents with a heightened awareness on the part of Spaniards of what constitutes cruelty to animals. He said foreigners are brought up to treat

animals properly and in recent years have set up many associations and refuges to look after abandoned dogs and cats. More and more Spanish people are beginning to follow their example, hence the uproar about the Torremolinos animal park (pictured above), where hundreds of dogs and cats – brought by people who

thought they were doing them a good turn - were put to sleep in a cruel manner. He said that before 2003 there were no laws to protect animals but today Andalucia has one of the most enlightened animal protection laws in Spain and “if you're caught kicking a dog you can end up in jail” - something that was inconceivable a few years ago.

It comes as a refreshing change to find an interesting book that is actually published in both Spanish and English. The book, titled “Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama parque natural” contains 374 photos taken by Sebastián García Acosta. He was born in Frigiliana and has spent the past 30 years photographing every corner, all the fauna and flora of the Sierra Tejeda.

As of today (Wednesday) British Airways will have four flights a week – on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday - between Malaga airport and London City airport in the heart of the UK's capital. A British Airways spokesman said the new route was “a substantial improvement for clients because of London City airport's strategic position”, which would cut travelling time considerably. British Airways already has four flights a day from Malaga to Gatwick.

He said he insisted on the text being translated into English “because many foreigners live in the area, especially Britons who are great nature lovers”.

How to stay cool and let in light the Solar Shade way There is a reason why the Spanish built their homes with small windows - to keep out the blazing summer sun. But modern design means that many homes and apartments now have big panoramic windows and patio doors which those of us from Northern Europe appreciate because we like to let in as much light as possible. But there's a downside actually living in a greenhouse is not good for any of us unless you want to grow your own tomatoes in the living room. The key to comfort is to let in as much light as possible but to cut down on heat. Otherwise your

furniture fades, your air con bill soars and some rooms can become unbearably hot. We have the solution at Solar Shade. We supply and fit Solar Control Window Film to glass curtains, glazed balconies, conservatories, cars, yachts - anywhere where there is glass. The film comes with a guarantee and what it does is quite simple - it hugely reduces the solar heat build up entering the room, it reduces 40 plus celsius to a comfortable 25-30

celsius. It comes in many different colours and shades including silver, bronze, blue, green and black and once installed it is maintenance free. It adds privacy to your home - you can see out, others cannot see in and it is easily cleaned. Solar Control Window Film will enhance the look of your building or vehicle and really improve your living environment.

Opposition councillors won’t get paid The mayor elect of Estepona, José María García Urbano, has decided that one of the first cuts he will make when he takes over will be not to pay councillors belonging to the opposition parties. Estepona council has a debt of €160 million hanging over it and frequently finds it difficult to pay its 1,280 staff. Of these, opposition councillors have been receiving 14 yearly payments of €1,500 – but no longer if Sr Garcia Urbano has his way. In future they will receive a certain amount for attending plenary council meetings and a small

amount for attending committee meetings. Local councils enjoy a certain flexibility when to comes to the payment of part-time councillors, which those in opposition usually are. The system of payment for attending meetings prevails in Marbella, Rincon de la Victoria, Mijas and Fuengirola. Payments for plenary meetings range from as little as €40 to €400 and from €20 to €250 for

MARBELLA

Salvaging rain-damaged library

Council and Junta face oﬀ The Costa del Sol hospital's decision to start charging for parking in the areas near the building has set Marbella town council and the Junta de Andalucia at loggerheads again. The council insists that the hospital has not applied for permission to charge and the Junta said the council's months-long silence on the matter gave the hospital “a tacit administrative yes”. Incoming trade and public highways councillor Alicia Jimenez said on Monday that if the hospital does not immediately stop charging for parking, the council would take it to court “for disobedience”.

Council workers continue to save as many books damaged by the recent heavy rains as possible, but hundreds have ended up in the recycling bins. One of the books propped open on shelves to dry is an 1850 version in Spanish of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, which now bears water marks. The library opened in 2003 and suﬀered from water-related problems from the beginning. It was closed for several years while work was done to eliminate damp and leakages and reopened last November. RONDA

World heritage status sought The Junta de Andalucía is preparing its application to Unesco for Ronda and the dolmens of Antequera to be given World Heritage status. The head of the Junta's cultural department, Paulino Planta, said this status was being sought for as many cultural aspects of the region as possible, including the archaeological dig at Orce on the Guadix plateau in Granada, because it would make Andalucia even more attractive for tourists. The human settlement at Orce is more than 1.3 million years old.

Economic crisis fuels fake claims Fraudulent insurance claims continue to rise, according to a report by the ICEA insurance claims research association. It said 5,644 fraudulent claims were detected in Malaga province last year, up from 4,331 in 2009. ICEA said there had been a rise of more than 75 per cent in fraudulent claims in the past three years, largely due to the economic crisis. A spokesman said the rise was also partly due to the fact that insurance companies are getting better at uncovering fraudulent claims.

Gibraltar

News Safety first in Gib constructions The Institute of Clerks of Works and Construction Inspectorate (ICWCI) have oﬃcially opened their new meeting centre in Gibraltar, the aim of which is to improve building standards and health and safety. The opening ceremony was attended by successful applicants, representatives of local Government and key members of the local construction industry who have supported this venture, especially Gifford, in order that Site Inspectors in Gibraltar can obtain the necessary qualifications. These organisations include Montagu Group, Gibraltar Land Reclamation Company, GCA Architects and Belilo & Partners. James Gallacher MICWCI, President Elect, formally established the new meeting centre and presented certificates to the successful applicants. The opening ceremony took place at Gifford, Queenswood Quay Office.

In an interview, Mr Gallacher explained to Gibraltar Broadcasting Corporation how ICWCI members ‘have the ability and qualifications to go onto a site and look after it’, which gives the client confidence. Members of ICWCI ‘are trained in health and safety and can tell a contractor when he is breaching health and safety requirements’. John Murphy MICWCI, who has been a member of ICWCI since 1991, first had the idea to open the new meeting centre after several colleagues had submitted applications for membership, which would have involved a trip to the UK for the applicants to be interviewed.

The opening of the new meeting centre enables applicants to be interviewed on ‘The Rock’ and John hopes that this will see an ‘improvement in building standards’ and create a network in Gibraltar. As Secretary of the new centre, John works alongside the chairman, Michael Pizzarello FICWCI, who started out as a student at ICWCI in 1980 and is now a Fellow, the highest Membership grade achievable within the Institute. The following applicants received certificates at the presentation, having successfully completed the interview process: Glenn Cunningham MICWCI, Steve Finlay

MICWCI, Mark Newby MICWCI, Damian Muscat MICWCI, Steve Cary MICWCI, Matthew Coulthard MICWCI, Gary Brockhouse MICWCI, Darren Vickers LICWCI. There are several applicants who will hopefully be elected into membership following an interview. The meeting centre will provide a central point where site inspectors in Gibraltar can share experiences, information and keep up to date with their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and any advances in the industry. For further information please contact Gail Reed at g.reed@icwci.org

Blaze injures 14 people A huge blaze that left 14 people injured, including 12 passengers from the Independence of the Seas cruise ship, was finally extinguished at 5am last Wednesday in a joint effort by Gibraltarian and Spanish fire fighters that took 14 hours.

tanks that had been ablaze had leaked into the sea around the area, some of it reaching nearby Algeciras beaches, and a clean-up campaign was started immediately. The cause of the fire at the plant on the Western Arm of the North Mole is now being investigated.

The injured included a 40year-old man who was taken to Seville hospital with burns over 70% of his body, and two workmen who were welding in the area at the time.

Popular Party politicians wasted no time in criticising Gibraltarian authorities for not asking for assistance from Spain earlier.

A hero has emerged as a

result of the blaze though, and that is probationary PC Jared McKintosh who only joined the force a couple of years ago.

struggling to get him down and without any thought for his own safety PC McKintosh went up the stairs to help.

He was in the area offering general help to people when he heard an enormous bang. He looked round to see black smoke rising from one of the tanks and, right at the top of the adjoining tank, workmen trying to get down the narrow metal steps that wind around the tank. One of the men was obviously badly injured and the other was

The man was conscious throughout the ordeal and in agony from his burns but was helped to the ambulance by his colleague and the PC. Afterwards, the brave PC said that he did not consider himself a hero and was just running on adrenalin. adding: “I just did what was necessary.”

Voice Madrid

Muriel Pilkington

Martin Delfín Writes for the English language version of

Dictatorial democracy

Spray painting history

relatively new reader has asked me some timely questions about local council accounts – are they kept secret, or audited annually or are they kept secret from opposition councillors. Right now, I can’t answer him in detail because political animals like myself tend to look at the big picture – which is in Madrid – and overlook local council matters. However, the hand-over to the winning parties take place on June 11th so I suspect we’ll be finding out a few answers quite soon.

think the big eye opener is about to take place in Castilla-Las Mancha, which the Partido Popular snatched from the Socialists, who’d been governing the region for the past 30 years. The PP has claimed that the outgoing Socialists have left the region "bankrupt" - without enough funds to pay public sector salaries and of having built up a heap of unpaid bills, which outgoing administrators have been destroying in order to hide their tracks.

n Monday Socialist deputy leader Marcelino Iglesias accused the PP of “committing a serious act of institutional disloyalty, and practising political hooliganism in throwing into doubt the credibility of Spain's accounts.” The same day, after meeting the regional party leaders, prime minister Zapatero said he was worried about the potential fallout from the PP's claims on the financial markets. The blue-chip Ibex 35 index fell 1.24 per cent and Moody’s said the Catalan regional government’s deficit is putting at risk the Madrid government's aim of reducing the national deficit to 6 per cent of the GNP as required by the EU. I must state here that I feel international credit rating agencies like Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s have far too much power and that the world would be better off without them. I also feel the international financial markets – which can bankrupt a country on the basis or rumours alone – should be brought to heel.

owever, Zapatero has reason to be worried. The markets hate “hidden debt” and unfortunately I think the full extent of Spain’s real debt will begin to emerge into the light of day over the next few weeks as the incoming PP finds that winning local councils is going to bring them nothing but grief. One of the pillars of the PP’s economic plans is to create jobs but a local source tells me the incoming PP mayor in Coin will have to remove about 150 people from the council payroll – because they’re superfluous or because as “friends” of the outgoing party, they don’t actually do any work. I suspect this state of affairs reigns in nearly all of Malaga's 101 municipalities. If the same is true of the country’s some 7,000 municipalities, then the incoming parties are going to be up you-know-what creek without a paddle.

he picture is just as bleak at a regional level. We still have to find out what the Socialists have been up to in Castilla-La Mancha but El Mundo newspaper has already published some figures which give us an idea about the state of affairs in Extremadura, another Socialist stronghold.

hen its former premier, Juan Carlos Rodriguez Ibarra, stood down in 2007, the regional assembly continued to pay for an office for him in the regional capital of Merida. It was rented initially for €2,500, then the assembly decided to buy it, for €500,000. As soon as Rodriguez Ibarra settled in, he started sending the bills to the assembly €679 for a lamp, €3,050 for a Le Corbusier sofa. In all he spent €242,000 just to furnish the office. His staff of one adviser, one cabinet chief, a secretary and several bodyguards and drivers are paid by the Assembly, for a total of around €140,000 a year. He has four cars at his disposition – an Audi A8 with all extras which cost more than €56,000, plus an Audi A6, a Peugeot 407 and a Citroën C5, for which the Assembly has paid out €90,835 in petrol and €55,444 in maintenance and repairs. I won’t go on, but I want to give people an idea of the lavish lifestyle of local government top cats. And this is just one of the 17 local governments.

he Junta de Extremadura's first deputy premier and spokeswoman, Dolores Pallero, immediately defended spending more than €2 million on Ibarra, whose experience and knowledge were well worth it. She said Ibarra was a paragon of honesty, as he had proved during his 24 years in power. And therein lies the rub. Too many politicians have been too long in power – one Socialist mayor in Extremadura had been “governing” his town for 32 years – and are finding it very hard to hand over power now. In fact, I wonder how many other people are struck by the fact that too many of them have been in power almost as long as Franco (36 years).

ne of the best things about living in Madrid is that in almost every neighbourhood there is a piece of history just right around the corner. In the district of Tetuán, where I live, there are countless forgotten areas that don’t make it on the official city tour guide’s presentation – 19th century churches, the Spanish Red Cross headquarters built by Queen Victoria Eugenia (Spain’s last queen before the Civil War and granddaughter of Queen Victoria) and the city’s second oldest bullring, which is now being used as a music conservatory. Cutting through this historic district, which was located for many centuries on the outskirts of Madrid, are remnants of an ancient network of underground galleries once used to bring water from the springs in the north to the Royal Palace in the centre of the city. These water passages, known in Spanish as the “viajes de agua,” were first built in the 9th century. Water is still carried in trickles today through these arched caverns but it is no longer used as a source.

n 2005, city workers designing a park on the west side of Tetuán, near an old aqueduct that is still being used today, discovered two ancient galleries that formed part of this waterworks route. Built around 1616, the Amaniel qanat – as the galleries are known by the Arabic name – was an important juncture that carried water from two sources located in the present-day Dehesa de la Villa Park and the further north Ventilla. When the openings of the two galleries were discovered six years ago, residents in the area petitioned the city to preserve them and incorporate them as centrepieces of the hilly park so that visitors could enjoy them. Today, this fine engineering feat is in a sad state. Vandals have sprayed graffiti throughout its restored façade, including staining the remarkable arched-galleries inside and out. Overgrown shrubbery and weeds cover the place making it impossible to see the arches from the visitors’ cordoned-off area. The creek where water still trickles is polluted with debris such as plastic soda bottles, rags and other trash. Three metal markers that tell the history of the early potable water routes have been completely defaced, rendering them illegible and useless. The entire site is a complete disaster.

t is puzzling how neighbours in the nearby buildings, who had lobbied for the preservation of the qanats, have not demanded that city officials provide security to protect this important historic site. Conservation is one of the most prized efforts any European city can and should undertake. But as long as people don’t act and educate others about the importance of their city’s past, there won’t be anything left for others to marvel at and enjoy in the future.

… and rewriting history

here are some historians in this country who believe that by changing a word or two they can completely turn around the legacy of a controversial person. This was the case with some members of the Royal Academy of History (RAH) and their biographical sketches of Francisco Franco, Manuel Azaña and others who were caught on the opposite sides before the Spanish Civil War. The entries are contained in the soon to be published Dictionary of Spanish Biographies, parts of which are already out in digital form on the web.

uis Suárez Fernández, 87, a member of the Franco Foundation and a close friend of the dictator’s family, was selected to write the entry for the late Spanish caudillo. He gave a pro-Franco slant, hailing his military career and failing to mention the crackdowns and deaths that took place during the 39-year dictatorship. Other controversial entries include one about Valencia Mayor Rita Barberá of the Popular Party, which was written by her press team, and of General Alfonso Armada, one of the leaders of the failed 1981 coup, penned by his son-inlaw. The entries sparked an outcry by the survivors and families who were opposed to the Franco regime.

ast week, many marched on the (RAH), some holding Republican flags, to demand the resignation of its director Gonzálo Anes. The RAH has decided that it would rectify the controversial entries before the sketches come out in book form. But the protest and outcry was just another example how Spanish history still rabble rouses the most passionate.

All you want and need to know about inheritance tax - meeting today June 8th Lawyer Jon Sutton will oﬀer an overview and take questions when he meets people who want to discuss the complexities of Spanish inheritance tax today, Wednesday, at the Sierra Gorda bistro. Arrive at 13.30am for 11am start. You can find the Sierra Gorda bistro on the Coin/Cartama road, at km 9. Below is an article written by Jon which aims to provide some background information. The autonomous regions are allowed to set their own inheritance tax levels and allowances. However these allowances only apply for the estates of people who have been resident in that region for five years and the beneficiaries are similarly resident. If both the deceased and beneficiaries do not satisfy the residency requirement then the national state rules apply. There is a vast difference between the state inheritance tax rules and the regional allowances. Several regions including Madrid, the Canary Islands, the Balearics, Valencia and Murcia have virtually no inheritance tax between spouses or between parents and children. Others, principally those with

socialist administrations, have less generous allowances, nevertheless with professional advice the reductions can be utilised so as to significantly lower or eliminate the inheritance tax burden. For example Andalucia allows a gift to a spouse, child or parent of up to €175,000 tax free. This is an all or nothing allowance not a nil rate band so a gift of €176,000 would be taxable on the full amount. As previously stated, these allowances only apply where the deceased and beneficiaries are residents. If not, the much less generous state rules apply which simply allow a deduction of just under €16,000 from the gift for tax purposes for spouse, children and parents of the deceased. This can mean that non resident beneficiaries pay many thousands of euros more tax than they would if they were residents.

However help may be at hand for those thousands of non resident holiday home owners or residents of Spain whose principal or reserve beneficiaries (such as their children) are non residents. On February 16th this year, the European Commission asked Spain to amend its tax provisions on inheritance and gift tax on the basis that they impose a higher tax burden on non-residents and on assets held abroad. The Commission was of the opinion that the provisions were incompatible with the free movement of workers and capital which are required under European law. In particular, the Commission considered that there was a breach of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (Articles 45 and 63 respectively). The request takes the form of a complementary "reasoned opinion". Spain has been given two months to

respond and If there is no satisfactory response , the Commission may decide to refer the case to the EU's Court of Justice. However, this may take some time, the Commission previously sent a reasoned opinion to Spain on May 5th 2010 and although Spanish legislation has been amended slightly, it is still not fully compliant with EU law. The Commission has therefore decided to send the latest complementary reasoned opinion requesting Spain to make additional changes to its legislation to ensure full compliance. The deadline has now passed but so far there is no news of any response. How Spain will respond, when this will be and how this will change the inheritance tax burden for non residents is not yet clear. The Spanish Government is in financial difficulties as it is and will be reluctant to give up this

lucrative, if unjust, stream of revenue. However, Spain is now on notice and to delay the matter may lead to claims from beneficiaries who are adversely affected by Spain's failure to comply. This could lead to a similar situation to Capital Gains Tax which was also discriminatory and ultimately amended to be the same for non-residents and residents alike and also led to a deluge of claims for compensation from people who had paid the higher rate of tax as non residents.If and when the inheritance laws are changed it would be well worth everyone with a property in Spain to consult their lawyer or accountant to see whether changes should be made to

their wills to reduce or eliminate inheritance tax. Report by Jon Sutton Jon Sutton (above) is a Solicitor at De Cotta McKenna y Santafé, whose Firm specialises in Wills & Probate. He will be available to meet clients at the inland office of De Cotta McKenna y Santafé at La Trocha, Coín or at the offices in Mijas Costa and Nerja.

A sizzling summer line up of sound Written by Andrea MacLean

To some of us of a certain age the songs I’ll Take You There and Respect Yourself, by the Staple Singers, bring back memories of summers long ago. t’s a huge shame that this guy isn’t better known. The album “The Sounds of McAlmont and Butler” has huge anthemic tracks, and a wall of sound that Phil Spector would have been proud of. He will be singing his finest songs at Echegaray –. and yes, it will include “Yes”, the McAlmont and Butler song that makes the spirit soar and is the perfect track to put on in the car when you can sing along loudly to the chorus without being embarrassed. Look up the video on You Tube if you have never heard of the man or the song. way from Terral there are a number of other top performers heading to Andalucia. The action starts with the hero of Livin’ La

He hasn’t needed a “proper” name for years. The one.time lead singer with The Police has varied his musical styles throughout his lengthy career and he has a staggering number of hit records, along with 16 Grammy awards, an Oscar nomination, and membership of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and The Songwriters Hall of Fame. He is appearing in Granada in the Plaza de Toros in July 15th as part of

Mijas International Festival 2011

A tapestry of traditions, cultures and music The famous Mijas International Festival has come around again, this is the 23rd time the Foreign Residents Department of Mijas Town Hall have organised the colourful annual event that celebrates the very “internationalness” of Mijas. The twenty different nationalities partaking in this year's celebration will be distributed over three different zones, connected by lively street parades and in parts a free mini train. Each one is worth seeing, the blue zone is in La Muralla gardens near to the bull ring, green zone in Plaza de la Constitución and red zone in Plaza Virgin de la Peña in front of the town hall, in all a total of three stages and nineteen stands, each one sharing some aspect of their home

country, food, drinks and handicrafts - many in their impressive national costumes. There will be all manner of things going on from all over the world, from Uruguay to the Ukraine, Morocco to Mexico, Korea to Columbia. There is a parade and display of classic cars from Classic Cars of Andalucía and from nearby Fuengirola a parade of Italian Piaggio Vespa Scooters. The three stages will present a most amazing and varied selection of musical performances and dance, to pick out just a few; German Sea Shanty Choir, Indian Dance, Celtic Fusion, Mexican Mariachi, Moroccan Music and of course Flamenco. A full programme of all the performances is displayed at each of the three stages. The festival starts on Friday June 10th at 9pm, on Saturday and Sunday at 1.30 pm and finishes on Sunday evening, entrance is free and in anticipation of the large attendance the event attracts, the Town Hall have cleverly

organised a park and ride system with a free shuttle from the edge of the village just five minutes to the centre with space enough for 500 cars. The pretty white village of Mijas is such an ideal back drop to the event with its white walls, cobbled streets and tree shaded squares. The festival is for everyone, with plenty of activities for kids and adults, plenty to see and enjoy and plenty to eat and drink. Written by Pete Woodall of Woody’s, Los Boliches

Mike and Andrea Monk took over what used to be Leslie’s Bistro in Coin a little while ago and now it is going from strength to strength. The bistro has been re-decorated, there are new tables and chairs on the patio, and smart new bistro style furniture in the bar and front restaurant area and the whole place has taken on a fresh new look and feel. The restaurant has been re-named “Sierra Gorda Bistro” which makes it much easier for those people coming up from the coast to find it - there’s a huge sign showing you where the Sierra Gorda urbanisation is and the restaurant is just on the left hand side of the entrance as you come in. With a new menu that the chefs have a hand in planning, the food is both interesting and delicious.

Their Fish and Chip supper includes a small salad and home-made coleslaw and tartar sauce in a little glass. The Chicken and Ribs come with all the trimmings you could think of so don’t bother having a sandwich at home for lunch - you need all the room you can get to eat everything that’s on your plate, and you won’t want to waste anything! Lunch for a fiver the other day was a Roast Beef Bap. Filled with delicious roast beef, complete with a salad, delicious homemade potato salad and horse-radish sauce.

MOVIE SPOTLIGHT

By Ricky Leach

Keanu & Sandra’s excellent adventure email: info@coinlife.info web: www.coinlife.info

ccording to something I found on the internet, June 15th 2010 was designated Cheer Up Keanu day. Apparently photographs of a rather sad looking Keanu Reeves were spotted by dedicated fans and Facebook users, so a campaign to cheer up the Canadian actor was born.

lthough you don’t seem to hear the kind of excessive stories about Keanu Reeves that you get from many of Hollywood’s finest, according to Wikipedia, he had something of a wild-child reputation as a youngster and was thrown out of several schools as a teenager. It’s not too diﬃcult to imagine if you look at his earliest successful films such as ‘Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure’ and its successor ‘Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey’ in which he plays a failing high school student.

MOVIES TO WATCH OUT FOR

e Hangover Part II BY TODD PHILLIPS Starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms

Well, the critics have not been kind to this, a movie they describe not so much a sequel, as a remake of the original and a tired one at that. But the studio won’t care. Hangover II hit box office gold when it opened in both the US and the UK and has taken the record for the biggest grossing comedy opening. It’s undoubtedly familiar territory – the same people are doing the same thing in a different location. Oh, and they lose a different

person. Dentist Stu (Helms) is set to marry Lauren (Jamie Chung) in a traditional wedding in Thailand. Best friends Phil ((Cooper), Doug (Justin Bartha) and Alec ( Zach Galifiankis) are invited. Boy, he should have known better. The boys hit

Bangkok and after Doug makes an early exit the others party on with the bride-to-be’s 16-year-old brother Teddy (Mason Lee). Next morning they wake up in a sleazy hotel room with no memory of the night before, and no Teddy. As they race around the city

in a frantic search they cross paths with a shady businessman (Paul Giamatti) and a flamboyant criminal (Ken Jung) and meet a fabulously malevolent monkey. It won’t be getting any awards nominations, but it’s certainly putting bums on seats.

Taylor and Burton on

Role not terminated

big screen The fiery romance that sizzled between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton is to be made into a film, to be directed by Martin Scorsese. Taylor, one of Hollywood’s enduring beauties, died earlier this year aged 79. She was married eight times – twice to the tempestuous Welsh firebrand Burton. The film will be based on the book that charted their relationship called Furious Love. The couple caused a scandal when they met on

the set of Cleopatra in 1962 and began an affair. Their relationship was fuelled by drink and violence and made headlines the world over.

Disgraced Arnold Schwarzeneggar will to appear in Terminator 5 but in a much reduced role – it’s not sure whether this is a response to the publicity surrounding the former governor of California who has separated from wife Maria Shriver, after it was revealed he has a love child

by the couple’s housekeeper. Paul Walker, from The Fast and The Furious 5 (above)is being tipped for the lead role of Kyle Reese. The movie will be directed by F and F’s Justin Lin, who wants to reboot the Terminator franchise in much the same way as JJ Abrams’s Star Trek.

or me, Keanu Reeves emerged as a serious, believable character when he starred in one of my all time favourite films ‘Speed’ in 1994.

imple, fast paced and spotted with humour, Speed has a few glaringly weak plot strands but all in all, it is an edge of the seat action movie with a brilliant lead cast.

aving successfully rescued oﬃce workers from a booby-trapped lift, Police Oﬃcer Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves) becomes the unwitting pawn in a terrorist’s campaign against the pubic transport system. After helplessly watching a bus get blown up by a bomb, Traven starts receiving instructions from the terrorist on how he can become a bigger hero by preventing the next bus from being blown up. While Traven races to find the right bus, daily commuter Annie Porter (Sandra Bullock) is racing to catch it, having, ironically as it turns out, lost her driving licence for speeding.

hen the terrorist informs Traven that a bomb has been activated on the bus and that it will be detonated if the speed of the bus falls below 50 miles per hour, Annie Porter finds herself in the driving seat of the vehicle racing to keep the bus above 50 through Los Angeles traﬃc.

nnie and Traven are drawn towards each other as

they try to outwit the evil but smart terrorist who is played by Dennis Hopper.

very silly, adrenalin filled ending sees Annie and Traven surviving an oﬀ-therails subway crash with their carriage landing on the street as they release their tensions with a snog. The chemistry between the two actors was excellent the whole way through and is part of what makes the film enjoyable. That and of course the perfect comedy timing of Sandra Bullock, although even that particular skill could not save the fortunes of the sequel. Speed 2 won an award in the worst remake or sequel category in 1997’s Golden Raspberry Awards, known in the industry as the Razzies. Keanu Reeves had the good sense to turn down the 12 million dollar contract for Speed 2 but Sandra Bullock got stuck right in. 12 million dollars must go a long way towards the shame of winning a Razzie.

he two actors came together again in a very different film called ‘The Lake House’, some 12 years later. The time weaving plot of The Lake House has Bullock playing Kate Forster, a woman who leaves a helpful note for the next tenant of a house on the shores of a beautiful lake she has been renting. In a time warp that is never really explained, the note is picked up by Alex Wyler (Keanu Reeves) as he takes on the tenancy of the property, two years before Alex ever sets foot in the place. As the couple communicate by letter, they begin to work out that they are living in different time frames and start to build a relationship while separated by distance and two whole years. Having set up a Valentines meet, Kate is upset that Alex fails to turn up but then later discovers that he had been trying to get to her when he was involved in a fatal car accident that she had witnessed. Because of their time difference and after some frantic back peddling, she sends Alex instructions not to meet for a Valentines dinner in two year’s time, instead arranging to meet at the lake house where they finally manage to cross the time difference and meet face to face. An excellent and clever story that is intriguing and romantic at the same time.

Kym’s Kitchen ...you don’t have to be a chef!

A challenging week looms both on the emotional and mental level so this is when you need to keep your eyes open and pay attention to the detail, keep your feet on the ground and remain in the moment. Others will be drawn and attracted to you as your popularity increases, the strength and confidence that you exude at the moment sends a message out to others that you are a leader and the one to listen to.

If you like curries, middle Eastern and almost any kind of exotic cooking, there are some spices that you should always keep in stock so, this week, here's a list of them and ideas for their uses.

That something you love combined with something you have been working on may surprisingly and spontaneously start to pay oﬀ. Venus is making you realise what you value most and what brings you the most pleasure – as long as you back it all up with commitment and sincere eﬀorts then you will attract good things. Make sure you have your core foundation as strong as possible not just in the working arena but within your home life as well.

One of those times when you need to stand tall and refuse to cave in to popular opinion is now. You are being held to a higher standard than others, so it falls on your shoulders to strive for personal integrity and to lead the way. Make sure the things you say cannot be twisted or misinterpreted as you do not want them to come back and bite you later on. A new job offer could be in the wings as career developments take on a momentum. The worst of the challenges this year are finally over, although you will not start to feel this in its entirety straight away - rest assured you are now entering a smoother, lighter time. Watch out for sudden gains in personal wealth and sudden attractions as well. It is time for Cancers to start expanding upon their personal life experiences; even a spot of travel isn’t out of the question. The main difference is, what used to take a lot of time and effort, now seems to happen automatically. This could be a difficult week emotionally for you as some hurt feelings or resentments from the past as a result of foolish actions seem to rise from within. Talk things through with a trusted friend and get it all off your chest it will allow you see things in a far clearer perspective. This is a passionate, intense and sensual time and you could find yourself tempted as others become radically attracted to you. By the weekend the bigger picture becomes clear and what was hidden from you becomes obvious. New friendships, relationships or partnerships may be formed this week as your ability to communicate is excellent right now. Your powers of attraction are strong and you will be able to use this to your advantage in nearly all situations. Usually you adapt yourself to whomever you are with but now you are being asked to stand your ground and be yourself. As you do so watch the stresses and pressures you have been under literally wash away.

Be careful not to slip into mental overload as there is so much going on you won’t know if you are coming or going. Make sure you the check the facts and hold others accountable for their promises. Once the work is out of the way your social life will also be on the hectic side with lots of invitations flooding in. Perhaps you could enlist the help and support of others who September 23rd share your ideals, if you ask you are likely to receive this week. October 22nd

Sagittarians are enormously protective and passionate over those that they love so this is not always an easy task.

It has become important to follow your plan and be ready to adapt when needed. The key to it all is clear communication so let go of all tensions, stress and strain and immerse yourself into conjuring up what it is you really want. nd December 22 The good news is that this is the perfect time for meeting new people.

Eastern cookery. The seeds can add a whole new dimension to your pepper mill when added to pepper.

● Crushed Chillies: add pure mouth tingling heat so be very sparing with them as when they reconstitute they get even hotter. They can be added at the beginning or at the end of cooking, but – watch out!

● Cumin: this has a spicy-sweet smell and quite a pungent taste. A little cumin added at the end of cooking time can boost the flavour.

● Green Cardamom: highly perfumed seed pods from a shrub native to southern India and Sri Lanka. Use in Indian dishes, milk puddings and biscuits.

● Nutmeg: the 'nut' from an Indonesian evergreen tree. Very aromatic, sweet smelling and warm, it can be used for both sweet and savoury dishes and is best bought whole.

● Ginger: this can be bought fresh, crystalised, in a syrup (stem ginger) or in powder form. Has hundreds of uses including to flavour cakes, curry dishes and you can add to honey and orange for a BBQ glaze.

●Star Anise: a star shaped fruit from a tree related to the magnolia. It adds a licorice flavour. Used in Chinese dishes but can also be used to flavour fruit desserts and jams.

¿Cuándo? - When? Through your relationships and partnerships abundance and good prospects come your way, therefore, it is vital to maintain a good balance in your personal relationships. Your creativity and imagination are in full flight and you will be seeking to share your ideas, visions and dreams with someone else, if it is with a loved one, then this can help you take romance to the next level. Your dreams are likely to be vivid right now so keep a bedside notebook – jot down that invention.

warm and goes especially well with chocolate, milky deserts like rice puddings and fruits such as apple, pear and rhubarb.

If you are waiting and wondering because things are up in the air, hoping and longing – this in-between time can be pure torture. Recent anxieties are soon to be replaced with a feeling that you are striking a needed balance and harmonizing better with the world around you. A clear and fresh perspective will make you wonder why you spent so long thinking about what could be and will encourage you to take positive action. There is a strengthening of all your key relationships at the moment and you will find yourself sharing and helping those that are feeling vulnerable for some reason. One thing that has become apparent is that in order to take risks with confidence, it requires a stable emotional foundation. You know if you miss when you leap that you will still have your strong self to fall back on. Beyond that it takes a trust that others have your back and that they are also rooting for your greatest benefit.

Three weeks ago we looked at ¿Dónde? - Where? This week let's see how you ask when something is happening and, more importantly, what type of answer you can expect. ¿Cuándo hay un autobús a Málaga? - When is there a bus to Malaga? ¿Cuándo pediste el libro? - When did you order the book? ¿Cuándo perdiste las llaves? - When did you lose the keys? ¿Cuándo compraste el coche? - When did you buy the car? If you want to say on a certain day of the week, you say el and the day El lunes - on Monday -El martes - on Tuesday - El miércoles - on Wednesday El jueves - on Thursday - El viernes - on Friday El sábado - on Saturday - El domingo - on Sunday If you want to convey that something happens on a certain day every week you use los before the day. Voy a Málaga los lunes - I go to Malaga on Mondays Vamos a la playa los domingos - We go to the beach on Sundays If you want to say something happens at a certain time use a and the time A las cinco - at five o'clock A las siete y media - at half past seven And we know that most things in Spain are going to happen mañana - tomorrow. Don't confuse la mañana - the morning with mañana - tomorrow Put the two together and you've got mañana por la mañana - tomorrow morning La tarde can mean the afternoon or the evening Mañana por la tarde - tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow evening La noche - the night - Mañana por la noche - tomorrow night. In two weeks time we'll look at some other useful expressions you may need to talk about ¿Cuándo? something may or may not happen.

MEMORABILIA AUCTION

Hallelujah – I’m Your Man

Nostalgia trip bags the market Cast your mind back to the smell and feel of your school leather satchel – who would have thought it, but that traditional chestnut coloured bag carried by both boys and girls over generations has been taking the fashion world by storm. The old style school bag produced by a mother and daughter team has been taking on top international hand bag brands and has become a multi-million pound global hit. Julie Deane and her mother Freda Thomas set up their business, the Cambridge Satchel Company, just three years ago and have now

gone from selling three bags a week as they sat at the kitchen table to 1,500 a week, in a multitude of colours, available from household name fashion outlets like ASOS and Urban Outfitters as well as their own website. The pair have seen turnover rocket from £15,000 to £3.3 million. The bags first became a cult

among twenty-somethings who used social networking sites to post information about them. The satchels channel nostalgia and sport a Handmade in Britain label at the aﬀordable price of just £139. Julie had been reading the Harry Potter stories to her children and thought the

satchels would have been used by Harry and Hermione. She needed to raise money for her own daughter’s school fees, and spotted a gap in the market for a return to tradition. She set to work with a leather factory, built a website, developed the range to include diﬀerent styles and colours, and is now watching business boom.

Sexy Cartoon character tops poll Marilyn Monroe continues to endure as one of the sexiest of the silver screen sirens – but she has had to surrender top spot to cartoon beauty Jessica Rabbit. The red-haired pneumatic nightclub singer has topped a poll by Lovefilm, which was carried out to mark what would have been Marilyn’s 85th birthday. Jessica featured in 1988’s Who Framed

Roger Rabbit, and she was voiced by the sultry Body Heat actress Kathleen Turner. Breakfast at Tiffany’s star Audrey Hepburn came third, Raquel Welch came

4th and Ursula Andress, who famously stepped out of the sea in James Bond movie Dr No in a white bikini, came 5th. There was no look-in for today’s generation of

Oh for those far-days in the 60s when late in the party someone would pop the Leonard Cohen album onto the turntable and the room would sink into a well of introspection. His 1967 album Songs of Leonard Cohen was as much a must have in the collection as Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours. Since those days the acclaimed Canadian singer and poet has reinvented himself, toured the world, and can now add the prestigious Prince of Asturias literature award to the many he has been garlanded with over the decades. He was up against stiff competition – including novelist Ian McEwan – and it is the first time the literature award has been given to a songwriter, although Cohen has in the past written novels and has a large body of poetry works to his name. The jury last week said that his writing had influenced three generations of people worldwide “through the creation of emotional imagery in which poetry and music are fused in an oeuvre of immutable merit.” Cohen had retired to a Buddhist monastery but

had to start touring again in 2008 when he discovered his manager had misappropriated $5 million from his retirement fund. He embarked on a wildly successful world wide tour, and was a huge hit at Glastonbury. On September 18th 2009 he fainted on stage at Valencia halfway through Bird On The Wire and had to be taken to hospital but three days later, on his 75th birthday, he appeared before a rapturous audience in Barcelona. His track Hallelujah was covered by Jeff Buckley who died tragically in his 30s. And in December 2008 Hallelujah hit the charts at No. 1 with X Factor winner Alexandra Burke, No. 2 with the Jeff Buckley version, and No. 36 with Cohen’s original version - 24 years after it was first released.

lymphocyctic leukaemia is the most frequent in the developed world, with more than a thousand new cases a year in Spain alone. At present, 38 projects are studying 17,000 tumour genomes. In the coming years, the CLL Genome aims to widen the research to cover the sequencing and analysis of 500 tumour genomes of 50 types of cancer.

Bob Hudson The drive over to 'The Land Of Dragons', the other side of the mountains, was good. We arrived at the venue, Los Arcos near Coin, wondering what the evening held in store for us and made our way to the lower floor where people were already gathering. There was an air of anticipation and conviviality as everyone made themselves comfortable perhaps wondering what would be revealed when the curtains in front of them were opened. This air of bustle and low noise became subdued as a ring was heard, summoning those behind the curtains to take their places. An expectant hush settled over those present. Then the curtains slid open, as if removing the side wall of suburbia, and we were suddenly transported to an elegant, middle class sitting room in the 1940s.

by email Comfortable, serene, another England. Over the next few hours we sat intrigued as we voyeuristically watched the ebb and flow of relationships between the characters - the owners and hosts of this des res, their guileless maid, their eccentric visitor and their guests, both worldly and welcome and the unworldly, unwelcome. Part of the enjoyment of such an evening is trying to guess the next development of the plot, wondering at the next twist, certain and then uncertain of the ending. However, one thing was certain Tapas had once again produced an excellent evening’s entertainment. The set was so real that you felt you wanted to join the characters for some tea and delicious cucumber sandwiches, or maybe something a little

stronger as the spirits, both ethereal and liquid appeared and disappeared. The costumes were amazing, and like the set, so authentic that it brought back memories of my mother and sisters in my early, (very early), years. Another triumph for the Tapas wardrobe section! Add to this an excellent cast who convincingly played their parts to perfection and made us want to know what happened to their characters during this sedate, middle England rollercoaster of events. I always believe the yardstick of a professional production is that you believe in the characters. Well done to everyone involved, both on stage and off, you all contributed to the (Blithe) spirit of a great evening’s entertainment!!!

were even allowed to go “On Camp” every year which made us feel very grown-up. We had Owls of all shapes and sizes: Brown, Tawney, Snowey and all manner of other helpers so if you have a little girl, take her along to your local group. I guarantee she’ll love it!

Lunar eclipse To celebrate next Wednesday’s total eclipse of the Moon, I thought I’d spend the next two weeks telling you something about our closest neighbour in space, the Moon.

The Fuengirola Astronomy society is holding a special observing session on June 15th near the Sunset Beach Hotel in Benalmadena if you would like to watch the eclipse, further details on my website.

he Moon is about ¼ million miles from us, the light from it takes about 1 ½ seconds to reach us. It is gradually moving away from us at a rate of about 4cm per year, which may not sound much but that is 4 metres every century or 8km since Christ was born. To the dinosaurs or early apeman the Moon appeared huge in the sky.

ther planets in our solar system also have Moons of their own, Mars has two tiny Moons, Jupiter has dozens while Saturn has about 63 Moons, even lowly Pluto has a Moon. But our Moon is special to us as it has such an effect upon the Earth. It causes the tides to rise and fall; werewolves come out to play and romantic poets write lines of verse about it. It is a familiar face that lights our way home on dark nights.

Siboney’s in the la trocha commercial centre in coin is about to re-open so join us for coﬀees, drinks and food, including our terrace barbecue. We hope to welcome you this Sunday, June 12th, subject to some last minute details to be sorted. So just ring Duncan from JK’s to find out more.

hen we look at the Moon we can be forgiven for thinking that it is a flat disc in space, but without stating the obvious, the Moon is a round ball and from different angles it looks completely different to the familiar face that we are so used to. We only ever get to see the same face because it is held in a synchronous orbit, which means that the Moon does spin but it spins at the same speed that it orbits the Earth. Were you told as a child to look for ‘the man in the moon’? The dark areas seem to make up a face. These dark areas are called the Seas or Maria (pronounced Mar

obody is really sure how the Moon came to be. One theory says that it was made at the same time as the Earth from a spinning cloud of rock and dust. Another says that it was made elsewhere and captured by the Earth as it passed by. The third most likely theory is that a planet about the size of Mars collided with the Earth billions of years ago and the resulting debris flew off into space to form the Moon.

with ria on the end). They are not really seas, but ancient astronomers looked up at them without telescopes and presumed they must be water areas so the name stuck. These seas were formed billions of years ago when the Moon was a molten mass of larva. Huge areas were filled with molten basalt rock bubbling up from deep inside the Moon which then solidified. So the bright areas you can see are the Moon’s true surface while the dark areas are the Moon’s insides spilling out onto the surface.

he seas are an exclusive feature on our side of the Moon; the far side, which we never see, is almost completely devoid of seas and is more heavily cratered than our side. The craters, that are scattered all across the surface, were caused by impacts from meteorites hitting the Moon over its life time. Because the Moon has no atmosphere then it sustains more impacts than the Earth does, and as there is no wind or rain to erode them then they remain as permanent scars.

o outside around 11.00pm each night this week and have a look at the Moon, and you will see it quietly making its way across the night sky. Then next Wednesday 15th it will pass through the Earth’s shadow for its total eclipse.

Call it oﬀ Bernie says Damon Hill Pressure is building on Bernie Ecclestone and the rest of the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council to call off this year’s Bahrain Grand Prix on humanitarian, as well as logistical grounds, Ecclestone, the sport’s 80 year-old chief executive, sees the financial perils of calling off the race - the $40 million race fee was returned to the Bahrainis after the March date was cancelled. He is worried that the race may not make the calendar for 2012.

Stormin’ Stoner makes it three from five The rain never arrived and Casey Stoner closed the gap on Jorge Lorenzo at the top of the MotoGP standings after easing to a convincing victory in tricky conditions at the Catalunya Grand Prix. The Repsol Honda rider overtook reigning world champion, 2011 points leader and last year's Catalunya winner Jorge Lorenzo on lap two, then pulled away from the Yamaha rider. Although unable to stick with Stoner, Lorenzo - running the softer rear Bridgestone compared with the harder tyre that Stoner had - in turn pulled clear of the rest of the field to collect second place in front of his home fans. Just after the halfway point white flags were waved to signify a bike swap was allowed, and spots of rain did began to fall with ten laps to go. Stoner initially backed off more than Lorenzo, triggering hopes of a battle between the leaders, but Stoner soon stabilised his lead at just under twoseconds but the anticipated rain shower never arrived.

2007 world champion Stoner took the chequered flag 2.403sec ahead of Lorenzo, whose points lead has now been reduced to just seven clear over Stoner. The final podium place went to Lorenzo's teammate Ben Spies, despite being caught by Andrea Dovizioso, Valentino Rossi and Marco Simoncelli by lap 10. But this quartet didn't change position again and instead Spies (whose previous best was sixth prior to Catalunya) was able to close to within two-seconds of Lorenzo during the final stages. Dovizioso, who had beaten Rossi by less than half a second at the last two rounds, once again got the better of the seven time MotoGP champion in Catalunya. This time the Repsol Honda rider crossed the line over two seconds in front of the #46 factory

Ducati. Simoncelli, who at last knockings during Saturday’s qualifying unbelievably snatched his first pole much to the annoyance of the partisan Spanish crowd, made a poor start and was only seventh at the end of lap one.

The San Carlo Honda Gresini rider then continued making slow progress, before getting into his stride and closing in on Rossi's rear wheel. Simoncelli, jeered throughout the weekend after his controversial clash with Dani Pedrosa at the previous Le Mans round, began the race with one eye

Stoner takes over from Lorenzo and pulls away to victory

on victory - and a debut MotoGP rostrum at the very least. But he simply wasn't able to replicate his practice pace and dropped 4.4sec away from Rossi on his way to sixth. MotoGP rookie Cal Crutchlow, who had qualified sixth on the grid, fought up the order from a

bad start to take seventh from Nicky Hayden on lap 10. A position he held to the line for his best grand prix result to date.The MotoGP field was reduced to just 15 riders this weekend after Colin Edwards joined Pedrosa on the sidelines. Pedrosa broke a collarbone when he tangled with Simoncelli, while Edwards

suffered the same injury during Friday practice in Catalunya. Edwards wanted to at least start the race, then pull into the pits - thus keeping his perfect record of starts since his 2003 debut intact - but he was unsurprisingly declared unfit to ride.

Tyson Gay runs Rooney tweets new look hair fastest so far

The 2007 world champion bettered the 9.89 run by Jamaican training partner Steve Mullings in May. Mullings later had the chance to upstage Gay at the Diamond League meeting in Oregon but was just outside the time, winning

the 100m in 9.80. Gay also clocked the fastest time of 2010 with 9.78 and beat Bolt, who is also the world champion, when the two met in Stockholm last year. The world's top two sprinters are not scheduled to go head-to-head until the World Championships in Daegu, South Korea in August with Gay insisting that Bolt, who holds the world record 100m time of 9.58, remains the dominant athlete.

Rafa makes it six French Opens Superbowl Club Rafael Nadal won his sixth French Open, tying Bjorn Borg’s record, with a 7- Championships 5, 7-6(3), 5-7, 6-1 victory over Roger Federer, his primary rival and the winner of 16 Grand Slam tournaments. 2011 Nadal started slowly before winning five games in a row to capture the first set, then seemed ready to cruise to his 10th Grand Slam singles victory. But Federer, trying to beat Nadal for the first time in four finals at Roland Garros, surged back behind the wide support of fans at Court Philippe Chatrier. In a thrilling encounter, the Majorcan withstood the Federer fightback after failing to capitalise when two sets and a break in front. Nadal will retain his No. 1 ranking with the victory,

has held the world’s No. 1 ranking since February 2nd 2004, the longest two-man stranglehold since the rankings began in 1973. "To win this final against one the best players in the world and in history is something which is really fantastic for me. It's one of my most beautiful dreams," said Nadal,

fending off No. 2 Novak Djokovic for now. Djokovic won his first 41 matches this year before Federer,

ranked third, beat him in the semi-finals.

"Congratulations to Rafa for having won the tournament once again. He played a super match," said the Swiss player.

Either Federer or Nadal

The policy of holding the Superbowl Club Championships at the end of the season was totally vindicated by the fact that the games were all played in good weather and the finals were played in excellent conditions. Some outstanding performances from newer bowlers made for some interesting results and bodes well for the future of the club.

Winner: Pat Fisher Runner-up: Andy Salmon

The finals were played over two days, John Morgan having qualified for three finals. Unfortunately for him he came second every time narrowly losing out in the Premier Singles, Triples and Fours but it was an outstanding performance from a relatively new bowler.

Appollonio holds oﬀ Galimzyanov to claim his first victory for TeamSky

After last week’s disappointing loss to Fuengirola it was back again to the superb Cartama Oval for what turned out to be a thrilling last ball victory for Team B skippered by Tony Crooks.Tony won the toss and elected to field putting Team A, skippered by Peter Winter, in to bat.The opening pair of Jody and Tim made hard work of the scoring subdued by an opening

then solid batting contributions of 17 and 21 from debutants Azam and Imthiyas but the crucial partnership of Nick and Ray Fry both finishing on 20 not out steered Team B to win the game with one ball to spare.The man of the match was indeed Ray Fry who used his veteran experience to clinch victory despite incurring an injury in the 29th over.

Stage win for TeamSky at Tour of Luxembourg Davide Appollonio claimed his first victory in Team Sky colours after winning stage three of the Tour de Luxembourg The Italian sprinter, who celebrated his 22nd birthday on Thursday, has had a fine first season with a succession of podium places, the most notable of which was his second place to Mark Cavendish on stage 12 of the Giro d'Italia last month. And the first came his way at the end of the 185 kilometres stage from Eschweiler to Roost following another strong lead-out from his teammates. Appollonio finished it off perfectly as he held off stage one winner Denis Galimzyanov (Katusha) and Mickaël Delage (FDJ). There was a worrying moment straight afterwards

when Appollonio crashed into the barriers beyond the line but thankfully he emerged unscathed. Appollonio said after the win: I’m so happy to get my first victory this year for the team. I’ve had a few seconds and thirds so I was really hoping for a win and today it happened. "After the Giro I had a little bit of a rest afterwards but I kept my condition and then the team called me into the Luxembourg squad I’m so pleased to reward their faith in me and tomorrow we’ll do everything we can to try and get the victory again."

bowling attack of Nick Helme and Tony Crooks.Mick Button and Chris Litchfield also fell without making the required contribution. Enter Peter Winter(31) and Tom (I don't need any sleep) Tobin(40) who pushed the score on at speed before Charley Hepburn also contributed a very quick 15 with Team A finishing on 141 in their allotted 30 overs. After the break Team B had their chance with the bat starting slowly and cautiously against some very tight bowling from Gazza Crouch(3 for 7),and some not so tight bowling (initially) from Charley Hepburn who then bowled his last 3 overs for a very respectable 6 runs. Jody van der Westhuizen then came on to bowl and had a fine spell of 3 for 19 in 6 overs but unfortunately this wasn't enough. There were

Thanks to Gavin Flaxman who performed well in the field and for volunteering to be Ray’s runner. There were many quotes of the day but the best came from Chris Litchfield when asked to bowl at the end to save the game was 'No pressure then Skipper'. All in all it was a fabulous day’s cricket played with competitiveness and with great sportsmanship too. Our next game is against Seville on June 19th.We are still recruiting for more players, umpires(thanks to Phil Flaxman despite giving the writer out L.B.W.)scorers, sponsors and spectators.If you would like more information or feel that you would like to become involved please contact Tim Meal on 662 233 302 or tim_sheena@hotmail.
