Fire prevention must be top priority With the country on red alert Sunday’s fire in Estepona caused some 500 people to be evacuated ................................. P11 NATIONAL NEWS - DNA TESTING NOT POSSIBLE
Search for missing children in Córdoba Aesthetic & Implant Centre seems to be over The 10-month-long investigation into the whereabouts of siblings José and Ruth Bretón who went missing on October 8th last year appeared to be over on Monday after two scientists separately confirmed that the mass of charred bones found in a homemade oven at a property owned by their grandparents belonged to a two-yearold and a six-year-old child.

Police found the charred remains two days after the children were reported missing but concluded they belonged to small animals. Their father, José Bretón, had reported them missing the same evening, claiming they had been kidnapped at a park in Córdoba while he was looking after them last October. But CCTV footage showed he entered the park alone and he was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping. Bretón's ex-wife, Ruth Ortiz, has insisted since the beginning that he had either kidnapped or killed the children to make her suffer for leaving him. Police believed he had either killed his children or was paying someone to keep them at a secret address but months of searching properties,
draining local ponds and dragging rivers failed to produce any evidence. On Monday, Interior minister Jorge Fernández Díaz admitted that fresh reports on the bones by José María Bermúdez de Castro, the country's most celebrated paleoanthropologist, and Francisco Etxeberria, a well-known forensic scientist, who has dug up many mass graves left over from the Spanish civil war, had revealed the bones were human. He said the oven had
been made by covering an open fire with a metal bell cover so that temperatures reached as high as 800C, baking the mud underneath. "It is as if it were a cremation oven," Fernández Díaz said. Bretón's lawyer said his client stood by the original police report stating that only animal bones were in the oven. Further tests on the remains are being carried out, though Etxeberria warned that the high temperatures in the oven made DNA testing impossible. CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

ICKHAM’S
WORLD Busy, busy!
By Kym Wickham k.wickham@thenewsonline.es
A man has gone missing from La Cala. He disappeared last Tuesday and his family are frantically trying to locate him so, have a look on the Community news pages at his photo and see if we can’t find him between us all. Last weekend up here in Coin, we lost one of our restaurants. The Santa Fe has been in business since I have been here so it’s a real shame it’s closed. The food and wine there was always excellent but, good luck to Maria and Jap with whatever they decide to do in the future. The weather seems to have cooled down just a tad at last so we can all get back out in the garden during the day. Mine is in a real state at the moment but I did manage to get some of the old, dead growth out of the climbers at the weekend and I hear we are apparently in for a storm on Friday. Another couple of months and we’ll be moaning about the cold and damp! As you know, I cook a lot and went out last weekend to buy a new unit to put all my food processors, mixers and choppers on as the old unit I had been using simply couldn’t take the weight of them anymore. So, now I have a lovely new chrome one – very smart indeed it is too. Talking of cooking... it’s tomatoes time again and our friend Mike brought us in a load of beautiful tomatoes the other day. Thanks, Mike! Ribs are still painful but I have been given three weeks to get them better and I’m still feeding the horses – - but from a distance now!

Search for missing children in Córdoba seems to be over After his arrest Bretón (right) explained the oven, saying he had used it to burn items, including clothes and documents, after receiving a demand for divorce from the children’s mother. Police know that Bretón bought gasoline days before the children went missing. Ruth Ortiz’s family hoped against hope that Ruth, 6, and José, 2, would eventually be found alive and well but one relative, Juan David López, said that the two studies “left no room for doubt.” López also told Europa Press that he had been to see Bretón in jail, where the

Drivers complain of 'stealth tax' Disgruntled drivers are accusing indebted town councils across the country of targeting motorists in a bid to raise revenue, by removing free parking zones and increasing fines for minor traffic infractions which have been called "taxation by stealth" by protest groups. The biggest outcry has been in Tarragona, a city south of Barcelona, where the council has re-allocated 3,700 parking spaces, making residents pay for parking where they once could leave their car for free. The council said the measure is "part of an effort to improve traffic flow in the city" and not to generate revenue, but it has
also reported widespread vandalism of ticketing machines, costing an estimated €18,000 so far. That and the extra police who have been called in to tackle the problem have made a big hole in any extra revenue. A recent report estimated that more than half of Spain's 8,116 town councils were on the verge of bankruptcy because of their vast overspending during the country’s boom years.
Rajoy coy about Amnesty International second bailout ‘fails’ Spain After lunching with European Council president Herman Van Rompuy at his official residence, the Moncloa Palace, on Tuesday, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy denied that they had discussed a second bailout, saying only that he would “do what was convenient for Spaniards’ interests”. Rajoy said he had told Van Rompuy that “Spain will continue carrying out the reforms needed to put this crisis behind us”, adding that he had also argued for “greater economic integration”. On the question of Greece leaving the eurozone, Rajoy said it
Amnesty International has failed Spain in its investigation of cases of police torture and brutality.
would “be a collective disaster for Europe”. The lunch with Van Rompuy was the first of a series of high-powered meetings on Rajoy’s agenda for the next few weeks. French President Francois Hollande will visit Madrid on Thursday and German chancellor Angela Merkel is due in Madrid next Thursday.

The human rights group said that while torture is not a systematic practice in Spain, “they are not isolated incidents, but examples of structural defects that affect all the aspects of the prevention, investigation and punishment of these actions”. It referred to the sentence of the European Court of Human Rights in July which condemned Spain in the case of Beauty Solomon, a Nigerian legally resident in the country for seven years, who had been “attacked physically and verbally” by National Police agents in Palma de Mallorca.

Hurricane Katrina devastated the US Gulf Coast killing more than 1,800, causing $115 bn damage
Galician premier High Court against parole of ETA prisoner Feijoó calls for early elections Galician premier Alberto Núñez Feijóo called early elections on Monday “to avoid creating any more instability” at a time when the country is going through an “extremely difficult” situation. He set October 21st as the date for the election, to coincide with regional elections to be held in the Basque Country on the same day.
Doctors have predicted that Uribetxeberria, who has cancer of the kidney with metastases in his lungs and brain, has around 11 months to live. However, the High Court prosecutor argued he could be treated and live longer than that. The court is also insisting that he express public regret for his crimes and formally reject ETA. Uribetxeberria was convicted for his involvement in the 1996 kidnapping of prison
director José Antonio Ortega Lara, who was held in an underground hole for 532 days before being rescued by the Guardia Civil.
San Sebastián, recently abandoned a hunger strike to push for his early release on humanitarian grounds. The Interior Ministry said last week that it has no objections to Uribetxeberria being granted parole.
The Galician premier, who belongs to Prime Minister Mariano Rajoys’ Partido Popular, said holding the two elections on the same day would save Spain an “excessively prolonged electoral period of six months”. Feijóo’s mandate was due to end in March of next year.

said the government’s curb on regional government spending, with draconian spending cuts in education and health, is damaging the PP in one of its traditional fiefs, and Feijóo hopes an early election will still snatch victory for his party from a divided opposition.

More evidence against King's son-in-law
New measures for rental market
The final phase of the investigation into Iñaki Urdangarin’s non-profit organisation, the Noos Institute, has revealed that at least two as yet unnamed private companies – one operating in the tourism sector and the other in transport – provided the Institute with money in 2007 to organise a third sports and tourism event, which never took place and the money was never returned.
The government is trying to revive the country’s almost non-existent rental market with new measures that give owners greater legal safeguards against defaults while tenants get more flexibility to end their leases.
Urdangarin, who is married to the Infanta Cristina, and his then business partner, Diego Torres, have been accused of using his royal credentials to secure contracts from the regional authorities to organise two

owners have a have a marked aversion to renting out their property because, they claim, the law clearly benefits the tenants – even those who fail to pay the rent. The law will encourage “fast-track evictions” of tenants in default, and settling their debts at the last minute will no longer save them from eviction. It will also make it easier for owners to get their property back if they need it for themselves, with only two months’ notice instead of a contract clause.
The draft legislation also eliminates the use of the Consumer Price Index as the basis for raising the rent. Consumer organisations argue will that this favour abusive behaviour by landlords. On the other hand, tenants will be able to deduct the cost of any refurbishment work carried out in their rented properties from their taxes, and give only one month’s notice instead of two if they wish to terminate their lease ahead of time.

sports and tourism events and then siphoned off part of the contract fees to other companies and offshore accounts that he and Torres controlled. King Juan Carlos has said that by 2007 he had told his son-in-law to
distance himself from the Nóos Institute. Urdangarin and Torres have already been questioned by Judge José Castro Aragón, and they face trial in the coming months, once the police and court investigation have been concluded.
Immigrant hopefuls rounded up Moroccan police have rounded up hundreds of African migrants who had camped out on the hills above the Spanish enclave of Melilla last week after more than 450 people had tried rush the border crossing. Some 60 made it into the Spanish territory. The Melilla authorities said after the
incident there were around a thousand Africans living in appalling conditions in the forests and hills outside the enclave. The Moroccan police responded by raiding the area, arresting men and women, and putting them on board buses to take them to the Algerian border
on the other side of the country. As soon as they were released, the migrants once again began their journey through Morocco to make another attempt to get into Melilla, where border security has been strengthened during the last week.
MP apologises for salary joke Partido Popular MP Guillermo Collarte apologised last week for saying during an interview with the regional newspaper La Voz de Galicia that he found it hard to “make ends meet” on what he called his “meagre” combined salary of €5,100 a month which he earns as a member of both Parliament and Ourense city council in Galicia. He also
said that in Parliament he doesn’t bother to speak on behalf of his constituents because “the group that supports the government doesn’t bother with that kind of thing, we do what we are told”. His comments started circulating on Twitter and other social networks, prompting Collarte to give
an interview to the SER radio network in which he said he considered himself fortunate, and he had not meant his comments to be taken literally.

An 82-year-old parishioner stunned cultural officials last week when she revealed her unauthorised attempt to restore a prized Jesus Christ fresco. Ecce Homo (Behold the Man) by Elias Garcia Martinez has held pride of place in the Sanctuary of Mercy Church in Borja near Zaragoza for more than 100 years. Cecilia Gimenez told reporters she was upset at the way the fresco had deteriorated and took it on herself to "restore" it. However, she appears to have realised she was out of her depth and contacted Juan Maria Ojeda, the city councillor in charge of cultural affairs. But she insisted she could put it right if the church authorities would just let her finish the job. The once-dignified portrait now resembles a crayon sketch of a very hairy monkey in an illfitting tunic. Art historians visited the church on Tuesday to see if the fresco could be “re-restored” and
Bullfights back on state TV in an effort to re-capture lost viewers, after a six-year absence bullfighting is set to return to Televisión Española (TVE) on September 5th, when it will provide live coverage of a fight at Valladolid. To be able to do so, the hard-up public broadcaster has reached a deal with the bullfighters, their managers and the rancher who provides the bulls by which they all give up their rights, so that TVE will only have to pay for the technical costs of covering the fight. The move comes at a very critical moment for bullfighting. Younger people prefer football, many aficionados can no longer afford to attend the fights and there are fewer of them, as many smaller towns and cities no longer have enough money to include a bullfight in their annual ferias. mAdrid

asked Sra Gimenez what materials she had used. After the meeting, they said they were “almost 100 per cent confident” that they could undo Sra Gimenez’s work. Sr Ojeda said if the fresco could not be fixed, “we will probably cover the wall with a photo of the painting." The fresco is not thought to be very valuable, but has a high
sentimental value for local people. To make matters worse, the local centre that works to preserve artworks had just received a donation from the painter's granddaughter which they had planned to use to restore the original fresco. Hundreds of people visited the church last weekend, which had remained open for the St
Bartholomew pilgrimage which ends in the sanctuary. The fresco was protected by private guards until the sanctuary closed to the public on Monday. Meanwhile, Sra Gimenez’s neighbours said she was so upset by the fuss over the fresco that she had taken to her bed for a few days.
Opposition leader Alfredo Pérez rubalcaba told a meeting outside the roxy cinema in the Fuencarral district of madrid on Sunday that he plans to ask Parliament to tax lottery wins instead of raising the VAT on school materials and tickets for cinemas, theatres and concerts. He said such a move would bring at least €250 million a year into the government’s coffers. He pointed out that many cinemas had closed down in the Fuencarral district alone, warning that once cinemas close down they rarely reopen. “We can’t allow people to become less cultured and less educated,” rubalcaba said.

outside funding and smuggling through tunnels under the Egyptian border. Israel tightened a blockade on Gaza in 2007 to prevent weapons reaching the Islamist movement Hamas after it came to power in the territory. UN officials said it will be difficult to improve the situation given "the closure of the Gaza Strip, violent conflict, and the pressing need for Palestinian reconciliation".
Fire at Venezuelan refinery spreads Venezuelan Vice-President Elias Jaua said on Monday that a fire at the country's biggest oil refinery has spread to a third tank. Stella Lugo, the governor of Falcon state where the refinery is located, said on Monday that the number of people killed by Saturday’s explosion had risen to 48, with 31 people remaining in hospital. She said about half of those who had died were
members of the National Guard who had been protecting the refinery. The opposition candidate in October’s presidential election, Henrique Capriles, said government inefficiency under President Hugo Chavez was to blame: "When things aren't done properly, with responsibility, then you have to prepare for the consequences." Mr Capriles and other critics of
Chavez' government have said under-investment by state oil company PDVSA has led to a decline in production and safety standards. But Chavez said there was no evidence the blast was the result of poor maintenance, insisting that firefighters had the blaze under control, despite its spread to a third tank. Venezuela has the world's biggest certified oil reserves.

Four feared dead Best of British N EWS in boating tragedy Two young boys, Ewan Beaton aged 5 and his 2year-old brother Jamie died after their Canadian narrow canoe capsized on Loch Gairloch on Sunday near the Big Sands Caravan Park in the far north highlands of Scotland. The boys were immediately airlifted to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness but died later. Their 34-year-old father, Ewan Fraser Beaton remains missing, presumed drowned, after extensive searching by coastguards and other craft. And on Monday, fiveyear-old Gracie MacKay (pictured right) from the Muir of Ord, who was also in the canoe when it capsized, died after being airlifted from the scene to Broadford Hospital on the Isle of Skye. She was pulled
from the water where she was found, face down but wearing a lifejacket by James Cameron, 34, who co-runs the Sands Camping Site. He went back out following a boat trip upon hearing that there were people in trouble on the water. Gracie’s 35-year-old father and 8-year-old sister managed to swim the 300 metres to shore unhurt and alerted Stornoway Coastguard at 4.15pm Sunday. Their Canadian narrow canoe is designed to carry numerous passengers and it is believed that although the children were wearing
Up to 800 athletes are to travel through central London on Monday September 10th to celebrate the achievements of British athletes and, hopefully, paralympians.
Twenty-one floats will carry the athletes along the route and medal winners will be spread out along the parade called “Our Greatest Team Parade”. The event is being organised by the London Mayor, the British Olympics Association and the British Paralympics Association in conjunction with Prime Minister David Cameron. boyancy aids, the two adults were not. The west coast area is popular with tourists and there are no known hazards in the area. Coastguards said that visibility was good and the loch calm at the time of the incident.

The parade is to start at Mansion House in the City, go past St. Pauls along to Trafalgar Square and then turn up into The Mall to Buckingham Palace where there will be the only
ticketed seating reserved for organisers of the games, athletes support teams and some children from London schools. The parade will be followed by a “special event”, with more details of that being released in the coming days. Some have objected to the event being held on a Monday saying that work commitments will prevent them from enjoying the spectacle but organisers say that it is to ensure that athletes will still be in town following the closing ceremony of the Paralympic Games. The Government and organisers are urging employers to let their staff have time off so that they can attend the parade.

Tweet A 22-year-old man from Southend in essex has been bailed to appear in court on Friday September 28th charged with suspicion of committing a racially aggravated public order offence. the man allegedly sent racially offensive tweets to West ham striker Carlton Cole following the team’s 3 – 0 defeat against Swansea at the weekend. Fellow players Matt Jarvis and Guy demal were also subjected to abuse.

Harry backs trek
Despair
Prince Harry is once again backing disabled service people, this time as patron of a charity race to the South Pole.
tony nicklinson died last week on Wednesday August 22nd after being told that his case in favour of voluntary assisted suicide had been lost. the victim of locked-in syndrome – following a massive stroke had left him unable to do anything for himself other than make small head movements which allowed him to communicate with others via his computer or with a letters board – felt that he had taken his case as far as he could go. Following the court’s decision, he refused food and liquids and died just a few days later. his widow said that “his spirit had been broken” and that he had told her that he “couldn’t take it anymore”. She said she hopes the campaign will continue.
The 27-year-old prince joined a group of injured soldiers last year on a trek to the North Pole and was visibly upset when he had to leave them before the trek’s completion. Next year’s challenge entitled The Walking With The Wounded South Pole Allied Challenge 2013 will be a competition between three teams from around the world. Groups from the UK, USA and the Commonwealth who sustained physical or cognitive injuries in the line of duty will take part in the competition in November or December next year. During the Antarctic trek they will cover a total of 210 miles dragging sledges weighing some 150 lb (68kg) with temperatures as low as minus 45ºC and enduring savage 50 milesan-hour winds. Five charities for injured service personnel across the globe will benefit from money raised for the race. They are Walking With The Wounded (UK), Soldiers To Summits (USA). Soldier On (Canada), Soldier On (Australia) and the
Wounded Warrior Trust (New Zealand). Selection weekends to pick the UK team will start next month (September) with a cold weather selection course expected to take place next March. Harry has already indicated that he would like to tag along again but a Palace spokesperson has said that it is far too early to tell whether his military obligations will allow this. Harry said: “Walking With The Wounded was set up to re-integrate the wounded into civilian life, recognising the unquenchable spirit and drive of these young people.” He added that the charity aims to harness their determination and energy whilst adjusting their mindset to face the numerous challenges that lie ahead for them in everyday life.

Motorcyclists in Lincolnshire have been warned to take it a bit slower during harvest time after two bikers were recently involved in accidents with tractors, one of whom died and the other was seriously injured. Police said the problem was that farmers on their tractors can suddenly emerge from fields with no warning to motorcyclists who are particularly vulnerable and less protected than car drivers.

Too many prisoners WARNING New statistics from the Prison Reform Trust show that more than two thirds of prisons in England and Wales are overcrowded holding 7,294 more inmates than they were designed to house. This is despite the prison population growth diminishing in recent months.
are holding two people and many doubles hold three at the same time. It was further reported that privately operated prisons had recorded a higher percentage of overcrowding than those that are in the public sector over the last 13 years to the year spanning 2010/2011.
Seventy-seven out of one hundred and thirtyone prisons were over the Prison Services Certified Normal Accommodation recommendations as of 27th July this year with HMP Kennet in Liverpool being the most overcrowded with 337 inmates in a prison designed to hold 175 men. The second most crowded was Shrewsbury jail with 326 in a prison designed for 170, then Swansea with 436 inmates in a jail designed for 240.
The report went on to say that 47% of inmates reoffended within the first year of their release, and 57% of those that had been given a sentence of 1 year or less re-offended within a year. Nearly 70% of children aged 10 to 17 years old released from custody re-offended within a year.
According to the Trust findings, many cells that should be for single useage
The Prison Reform Trust has therefore concluded that prison sentences for “lesser crimes” do not work and community service would be a better solution to the overcrowding and reoffending problems.
Paralympics 2012 Last night (Tuesday) saw the lighting of the Paralympic Games 2012 torch at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire to mark the start of the Games. A postbox on the opposite side of the road will get a lick of gold paint as Stoke Mandeville is where the Paralympics took place for the very first time 64 years ago, in 1948 – the same year that the Olympic Games were being held in London. Professor Ludwig Guttmann had fled Nazi occupied Germany coming to the UK as a refugee. His skills in the treatment of victims of paralysis were recognised and he came to Stoke Mandeville to rehabilitate the servicemen injured during the Second World War. Many were paralysed or had lost limbs and Professor Guttmann’s sheer bloody-mindedness enabled these men to start new lives or make the best of what they were going back to. He did not pander to fits of temper or patients feeling sorry for themselves but encouraged them to do things for themselves and move and develop the bits that still worked! He bullied and cajoled the authorities to give him the equipment and personnel he needed and
transformed the traditional ways of nursing these men, greatly reducing bed sores and the general mortality rate. Through sport, little by little they re-learnt that there was a purpose to their lives. First they competed against each other, then Gullman eventually persuaded the authorites to allow teams from other hospitals to come and compete. Eventually, over the ensuing 64 years, teams from all over the globe have joined in. The so-called 'parallel' games eventually became the Paralympic Games and this year, host city London will hold the biggest ever Paralympic Games and they will be the first to sell-out. Professor Guttman would be very proud of what his small beginnings have achieved for so many who desperately need something to pull them through the worst possible injuries. Royal Mail will continue to paint some of its muchloved red post boxes gold to celebrate every ParalympicsGB gold medal win during the London 2012 Paralympic Games.

A new offer from Macarena At another fun packed evening at Rodizio Macarena last week, I found local businessman and entrepreneur Johnny Starfish with a party of friends, enjoying everything that Macarena had to offer. Johnny, a frequent visitor to the restaurant chooses to entertain his guests at Macarena as it is family orientated and suits diners of all ages. “The food here is wonderful, and the shows are great” he told me, “my only complaint is the meat…..there is too much of it!” But how can you turn away the cortadors who constantly offer you the most succulent cuts of meat, and so many varieties (over 20)? Alan, from Surrey was visiting Marcarena for the first time was very impressed with the
evening. “This has been a totally new experience for me. It is unlike any restaurant I have ever been to. Both the entertainment and the food are great. I would certainly recommend it” I found this to be the opinion of all the diners I spoke to. From the huge selection of food, and the complimentary cocktail, the exciting fire dancing, the energetic Capoeira and the spectacular lambada and samba dancers it is difficult to pin point the best part of the evening. Everyone seemed to enjoy the audience participation where they invite you to learn the
steps and join in these rhythmic latin dances. Rodizio Macarena are running a special offer at the moment. On Mondays and Tuesdays, it is possible to eat and enjoy your drinks (Beer, wine, mojitos, caphierieas, soft drinks etc) for an all inclusive price of only €29.50. You need to make a reservation. So to experience a complete evening of wonderful food and fun packed entertainment, reserve your table by calling 952 474 714.

Going Virgin down What a but not out yet home drama A new BBC drama entitled “Murder: Joint Enterprise” is upsetting the people of Nottingham. Director Birger Larson, who helped create the hit Danish TV series “The Killing”, says he has given Nottingham the central rôle due to its reputation for violence. City officials however have said that crime has fallen in the area and addeded they “trust the public to detect fact from fiction”.
The Labour party are asking the Government to delay signing a new contract for the rail service of the west coast rail mainline after Virgin, who have run the line for 15 years, lost out to FirstGroup last week. Labour are saying that the deal is based solely on “bottom line” financial reasons and are worried that the tender put forward by FirstGroup is unachievable. An e-petition calling for
a debate when Parliament resumes has been signed by more than 100,000 and has been backed by a number of celebrities including Alan Sugar, Jamie Oliver and Eddie Izzard. First Group say their tender includes upgrading customer comfort including improved wifi and catering as well as additional services, more seats and reducing standard anytime fares by 15% on average bringing better value to commuters.
A collection of 68 coins known as the Kimbolton Hoard are to return to Cambridgeshire. The hoard, found two years ago by a metal detector enthusiast was declared Crown Treasure and has been held in the British Museum. However, they offered to sell the collection to the St. Neots Museum in Cambridgeshire for £22,000, which was accepted. The museum is now raising money to build a secure cabinet in which to display the hoard.
Do you pass the Doped Evidence popular test? 30 years ago, taxi driver Gurchan Singh Landa (known as John) was found dead in Cyprus Road, Mapperton, Notts.

The Conservative Party are looking to pass the Danny Boyle test – in other words, being more up-to-date and popular with the general public. Danny Boyle was the man who designed and put together the amazingly popular opening ceremony for the recent London
Olympic Games. As many people said, they were waiting for the whole thing, after the pre-publicity describing some details of what was about to take place, to be a totally cringemaking display but, by the end of it, there was a real feeling of great patriotism and pride in being British.

Voice Madrid Muriel Pilkington
Martin Delfín Writes for the English language version of
Venezuelan rigmarole
Sweet revenge
I
J
’m trying to get a pension out of the government of Venezuela, where I worked for more years than I did in the UK or here in Spain. I’ve been able to ascertain that I have 840 credits – whatever that means – but the latest development is that I have to send an enlarged photocopy of my cédula (ID card) showing the details (date of birth, nationality, etc.) more clearly. I’ve already sent a standard photocopy on which the details admittedly are a bit blurred. But they’re pretty blurred on the original too. The friend who is handling the matter for me in Caracas now tells me that the cédula has to be valid and if mine has expired – which it did, years ago – I should renew it.
T
he nearest Venezuelan consulate is in Madrid and its web page, to my horror, seems to indicate that the cédula can only be renewed in Caracas. It was too late to ring the consulate, which like all good government offices, shuts up shop at 2 pm. It will be difficult enough for me to get away to Madrid for a day – with the help of the high speed train – but Caracas!!! They have to be joking. First of all, I can’t afford the plane fare; secondly, I simply don’t have the time and thirdly, I refuse to set foot in that country again until Hugo Chavez is out of the way.
R
ight now, the biggest oil refinery in the country and one of the largest in the world has been burning since the early hours of Saturday. The latest death count is 48, dozens have been injured and more than 200 homes and 11 businesses nearby have been damaged. Chavez has said there was no evidence the blast was the result of poor maintenance but critics have been saying for years that under-investment by the state oil company PDVSA has led to a decline in production and safety standards. He sacked all the competent PDVSA staff way back in 2001 and replaced them with Iranians and other assorted Arabs who were not as highly trained as the sacked ones, many of whom had been trained by the Americans, Brits and the Dutch before the oil industry was nationalised in the mid1970s and who’d passed on their expertise to the younger ones.
I
t’s just one more tragic example of Chavez’s incompetence. He has never delivered on any of the promises he’s been making since he was first elected in December 1998 because he’s too busy imposing a Cuban-style communism on
Venezuela. Hundreds of thousands of highly trained Venezuelan professionals and foreigners have left the country, and the schools and universities are now only interested in turning out good communists. There are more poor people now than when he took over but that’s what Chavez wants, because poor people tend to believe anything they’re told by charlatans like him.
A
nd the trouble is, he’s very charismatic. He looks and usually acts like a big, fat clown and you can’t feel his charisma unless you’re in his presence. I was very close to him once – he kissed me on the cheek when he was congratulating me on the Award of Merit for Work (2nd class) which my newspaper had put me forward for and which he’d just handed to me. I was the only foreigner among the 100 journalists who received it in the year 2000. And I quailed as I listened to him addressing us afterwards. There was no denying it – he definitely had charisma. Even I was beginning to fall under his spell. To show how unlikely that was, during the 1998 election campaign my then-editor (who hated Chavez as much as I did) said to me: “If you want to carry on living in Venezuela, as I assume you do, I’d advise you to lay off Chavez because he’s going to win the election”. I think the mildest thing I ever said about Chavez in the editorials I wrote for the paper’s weekend magazine – which I edited – was that he wasn’t fit to kiss Simon Bolivar’s boots. Now everything in Venezuela is “Bolivarian” – in honour of Chavez’s hero. Bolivar just happens to be my hero too, and perhaps he may have the last laugh.
A
few years back, Chavez took Bolivar’s bones from the National Pantheon to have them scientifically tested to prove they really did belong to the Liberator. Since then, just about every government official who attended that ceremony has died – of heart attacks, road accidents, or cancer. And now Chavez has cancer, or so he claims. He’s the sort of person who could come up with a ploy like that – nothing like the sympathy factor for winning elections.
T
here’s another election in October and for the first time the opposition may have a chance of winning, if Chavez doesn’t rig it. Or maybe the cancer will get him first. May God forgive me, but I hope He hears my prayer.
ulian Assange and Baltasar Garzón indeed make a good pair – both are media circus ringleaders who are in search of sweet revenge. It was a surprising announcement coming from the suspended High Court judge when he revealed that he was leading the defence team of the WikiLeaks’ founder. During an interview earlier this month with El Pais, Garzón said that he believed in Assange's cause. "He isn’t like the same person you see in photographs," Garzón said. The judge, who was thrown off the High Court earlier this year after he was convicted of ordering surveillance recordings of jailhouse conversations of two defendants in the Gürtel corruption case, has decided to re-launch his career on the global stage by taking on everybody in Assange's defence. And there are good reasons why he is doing it, besides the fact that he believes in the WikiLeaks cause.
G
arzón never forgave Britain for its decision in 1998 to allow former Chilean strongman Augusto Pinochet to return home after he was detained and held under house arrest for nearly one-and-half years. The international arrest warrant, the first of its kind by a third country against the leader of another, was a legal precedent. It helped propel Garzón’s career, but it would have been weightier for his legal standing if Pinochet had been sent to Madrid instead of back to Santiago. Britain’s Jack Straw was to blame; he decided the former dictator should return on medical grounds. But as soon as he stepped off the plane upon his arrival in Santiago Pinochet easily got out of his wheelchair to greet his supporters. It was an embarrassing moment not only for Chile but for Britain as well. At the time it was said that Garzón was fuming. What a way to get back at London with the Assange extradition case 15 years later.
T
he judge also has it in for US diplomats who pressured Spanish officials to derail his investigations into human rights abuses being committed at Guanátamo navy base. That detail came from WikiLeaks when the whistleblower site dumped thousand of secret US State Department cables detailing the behind-the-scenes moves between Washington and Madrid. Garzon's wings were clipped along with those of the other High Court judges who were applying the universal justice concept across the globe. The Zapatero government, also under pressure from
China and Israel when the judges also began to look at rights cases in Tibet and Gaza, pushed through legislation limiting the court's extensive powers. In an interview, Garzón said he was “extremely disappointed” when he read the cables.
A
federal grand jury in Virginia is reportedly investigating Assange on a host of charges, including conspiracy and theft of government documents. An indictment could come down at any moment if it has not already been filed under seal at this time. In the US court system, charges can remain hidden for several years as prosecutors continue to work on other angles of an investigation and to assure that defendants won't try to flee. Judging by Assange's statements from the balcony of the Ecuadorean Embassy on August 20th, when he called on the Obama administration to stop its persecution of WikiLeaks, it appears he suspects that the indictment has already been secretly handed down.
Julian Assange
T
he entire extradition dispute is now going overboard with Britain adamant in sending Assange to Sweden to face sexual misconduct charges. But the Ecuadorean government is just as headstrong demanding that London respect President Rafael Correa’s decision to grant him diplomatic asylum. A diplomatic solution should be found between the three nations, and Sweden should offer guarantees that it won't send Assange to the United States. But that is not going happen. Assange will be charged with sexual abuse, serve some time in prison, which will buy time for Washington to prepare its case and once released, the WikiLeaks founder will be whisked off to face trial on the other side of the Atlantic. And Garzón will go off to write another book.

Still time for a break before it gets too cold Guernsey can trace its heritage back to before 1066 when it was part of the Dukedom of Normandy. In 1205 the Islanders were given the choice of allegiance to England or France. The option was made to stay with the mentor across the Channel and, whilst various takeovers have been attempted over the years, today the Bailiwick of Guernsey is a British Crown dependency. The Bailiwick embraces the islands of Herm, Jethou, and Lihou and also Alderney and Sark, each of which has its own parliament. Although its defence is the responsibility of the United Kingdom, Guernsey is not part of the UK or the European Union though it does participate in the Common Travel Area. There is no VAT or alcohol duty. Until the early 20th century French was the only official tongue of the islands, and all deeds for the sale and purchase of real estate in Guernsey were written in French until 1971. With the return of evacuated schoolchildren after the Second World War English became the first language taught at school. Today the French Consulate is based at
Victor Hugo's former residence at Hauteville House. The great writer (of Les Misérables and many others), a fierce Republican, was happily exiled in Guernsey for 15 years. Guernsey is probably best known in the UK for its offshore financial services which account for around one-third of the island's turnover. Tourism has always been important and represents a slightly more sophisticated holiday than its neighbour Jersey. There are all-year-round air services from the mainland and if you do not want to go by air, ferry services operate from Portsmouth, Poole and Weymouth, and various French ports. The weather can be glorious but the Channel Islands are prone to the occasional fog. Not a worry in terms of accommodation though – if you cannot get out the incoming holidaymakers cannot get in! By 2014 the rebuilt airport will have more advanced technical facilities and a longer runway, which will improve things. No passports are required for UK citizens but airlines do insist on some sort of photo identification.
The local Big Tour sightseeing bus, or its equivalent, is usually recommended on a holiday but Guernsey is the exception. The local bus costs one pound sterling (British and local pounds sterling have common value and usage) per journey. For that you can go completely around the island in about about an hour. Car hire is cheap and a small vehicle is recommended. Once off the main roads some of the lanes are quite narrow and one should be prepared for reversing at various times to let cars pass by. But nobody is in a rush and there is a 35mph speed limit. Parking is free with local restrictions. Bike hire is popular. St Peter Port, the island capital can be best described as an oversized village or small town, nestling in the hillside around a small port with marinas and a docking area for the ferries. The harbour is not big enough for even small cruise ships but uniquely it is probably Britain’s third busiest cruise port with 100 ships this year booked to moor in what is called 'The Roads'. Coming across in a ship’s tender is great fun. There are day trips
to all the islands from the busy quayside. Guernsey has a full range of hotels from its only 5-star property, Old Government House, to homes offering bed and breakfast and self-catering. St Pierre Park on the outskirts of St Peter Port is a recently very well renovated property, with mature grounds, indoor swimming pool, and a nine hole par three Tony Jacklin designed golf course. Perched on the top of a hill in the capital is the Duke of Richmond. The setting is quiet and ideal, between Cambridge Park, with its children’s playground and the lovely downhill walk that is Candie Gardens.
Holiday activities Guernsey is not for those who want a riotous holiday. It is a quiet place but there’s a lot to do depending on your interests. Very popular are the 30 miles of cliff top walks and the Tourist Board map offers a series of routes depending on your ability. There are four golf courses, a whole variety of water sports, sea fishing, riding schools and a range of activities for children. If you are into history
Castle Cornet overlooking the harbour is a must, and likewise the German Occupation Museum, a dark period for the Island. Liberation Day is celebrated on 9th May (as against 8th May on the British mainland). All over the islands one can see remains of the fortifications very expensively constructed in terms of manpower by the Germans. In the English Civil War Guernsey sided with Parliament and Jersey was the last Stuart stronghold. The Museum and Art Gallery takes you through the island history. If shopping is your idea of a holiday, as you would expect from a centre of finance, Guernsey has quality designer shops in abundance – including many you will find in a mainland shopping mall, often far cheaper. For unusual antiquities, gift ideas and souvenirs, head to St Peter Port's Old Quarter area, where you will also discover exclusive fashion
boutiques and jewellers. Nearby, both Mill Street and the Commercial Arcade are also renowned on Guernsey for their plentiful shopping opportunities, with shops specialising in designer goods, interior homewares and art works. One very worthwhile short visit is the Little Chapel, possibly the smallest church in the world (above). It was built by Brother Déodat who started work in March 1914. His plan was to create a miniature version of the famous grotto and basilica at Lourdes in France. The Little Chapel is beautifully decorated with seashells, pebbles and colourful pieces of broken china. There is a full programme of events virtually through the year. Dining anywhere in the Bailiwick is very good. For more info www.visitguernsey.com

Community News Large fire near Estepona All the fun of the Malaga fair destroys 20 hectares A fire was brought under control late on Sunday near the Puerto Romano urbanization along the Rio Padrón, Estepona, after around five hours of burning – despite a red alert having been in place for the last three months. This was the first large forest fire on the Costa del Sol this year. A total of around 20 hectares of land were destroyed in the fire – mainly newly dried out weeds, bushes and grass that had grown during the wet winter months but it is not known why they caught light. Four helicopters, two planes, five fire engines and over 200 fire-fighting personnel fought the blaze. This year, Spain has lost 149,300 hectares (577 square miles) of forest and countryside in more than 11,650 wildfires, compared
to around 107,000 hectares (415 square miles) for the whole of 2002, according to official statistics. Diana Colomina of the Spanish branch of the World Wildlife Fund said experts has estimated it would take the 800 hectares of Garajonay National Park in the Cabary Islands that had burned at least 150 years to recover. Colomina said experts had also calculated it will cost Spain about $562.8 million to recover the woodland and other landscapes lost to fire – a sum that did not include the compensation that needs to be paid to residents who lost homes or businesses in the conflagrations. Very low rainfall and searing summer temperatures have made much of Spain tinder dry in recent months, conditions that have coincided with harsh spending cutbacks by both
regional and central governments. Earlier this month, the cash-strapped central region of Castilla-La Mancha announced plans to cut the number of its firefighters by almost a third. Labour unions and the leading opposition Socialist party have also highlighted how cutbacks in firefighting efforts in the regions of Catalonia and Galicia have coincided with large blazes there. Spanish authorities say arson and fires caused by carelessness are on the rise in the country compared to previous years. Sonia Ferrer Tesoro, Interior Ministry spokeswoman for Andalucia, said investigators were looking into evidence which could point to the fire in Bedar, Almeria having been caused by an arsonist.
Thirty-six of the more adventurous members of the Coin Branch of the Royal British Legion chartered a coach and enjoyed an outstanding day at the Malaga Feria last Friday. The sun shone strongly from a bright blue sky and the street temperature was also thirty-six by early afternoon. Fortunately, the major brewers and wine makers had conspired to put refreshment stalls in several strategic locations and ice-cold glasses of San Miguel were available for a very reasonable eighty cents. The local population was joined by thousands of visitors from all over Spain
Pets of the week
and the Malagueños made their visitors from Coin most welcome wherever they went. The Feria costumes were spectacular and Legion members Maureen Gregson and Maria Paz Edwards can be seen here in Calle Marques de Larios relishing a moment with
the handsome men and beautiful women representing Cartojal. A great time was had by all and on the coach home the Branch Chairman Jo Taylor declared the day out a memorable experience – and thought the Malaga Feria was almost as good as Coin’s!

This is CHARLIE, a female cross, born 12th November 2011. She is a medium-sized dog of 45cms in height and weighs 15.20kilos. Charlie was abandoned but, luckily she was found and brought to FAMA on the 17th February 2012. She is a happy dog, seen here enjoying the cool under the tree in the paddling pool. She has no issues with other dogs, and has settled down well. All she wants now is to be adopted and have a good home of her own. She would make someone a wonderful companion. If you would like more information please call Pat on 620 354 885 or visit our NEW website www.famaspain.com FAMA’S policy is never to put a healthy dog down, they have a home with us for life or until they are adopted.
Many people love their dogs and think that it’d be a great idea to breed from them ... but have you really thought your reasons for wanting to through? Here are a few tips on the “why not’s” of breeding.
over in the middle of the night to watch. Because we love Fifi and we want another one just like her! The chances that you will get another one ‘just like her’ are very slim, indeed.
To make lots of money! Do you realise the actual expenses involved in breeding, such as advertising, stud fee, vet. bills, food, etc., to name a few?
Because it would be good for the children to watch the birth and play with the puppies as they grow up! Actually, the gory part of the whelping repulses most children who are more than happy to skip the viewing of the miracle you planned for them to see. And a litter of puppies growing up is too rowdy for small children. If you want the children to see a puppy growing up, buy them just one of their own. If you want them to watch a litter being born, it's better and easier to find a breeder who will let them come
Because everyone who comes to the house and sees Fifi wants one of her pups when she has a litter! But ... just wait until your litter of 12 is ready to go to their new homes, watch those people back out with excuses like: The kids are too young, the kids are too old now to be bothered with caring for a dog, we are going to have a baby, the house is too small, we are moving in three months (wait till then), the carpet is too new, Grandma doesn't like dogs, the old dog hasn't died yet, it might not get along with our cat. The list goes on and on. More on this subject next week! David is on Talk Radio every Saturday from 10am - 11.am (Calahonda to Nerja) 88.9fm (Calahonda to Algeciras) 91.9fm

Gas explosion kills well Have you seen known local man this man? A gas explosion occured in an apartment in Torremolinos in the early hours of the morning on Saturday 25th August. The blast caused third degree burns to David Carney, 64, who was taken to the Carlos Haya hospital, sedated and placed on a ventilator. Sadly he died at 11.30am last Sunday, 26th August. The cause of the blast is subject to ongoing investigations. David was born in August 1948 and worked as a sound engineer for the Theatre Royal in Newcastle and for the
independent company “Blitz” in London. For the last four years David has been employed as the lighting engineer at The Salon Varietes Theatre, Fuengirola where he rigged and programmed high quality productions. Working alongside the sound engineer and theatre set builders, he played a major part in ensuring the theatre provided quality performances. He was part of a small team and will be sadly missed by his colleagues. As we went to press

New “help” seminar date A few months ago The News ran a series of seminars to help people cope with their problems while living in Spain that proved very popular. However, several people have said that they missed them and would we please do another. So, to that end, a new date has been arranged for Friday 14th September at JK’s on the Poligono Industrial La Trocha, behind the BP petrol station on the Coin to Cartama road starting at 11am. A panel of experts will be there to guide you through the realities of all the frightening stories you have heard on the grapevine about “what to do if.....”. They will be there
to advise you on the best, and often cheapest way forward. Kym Wickham will be there from The News Helpdesk that can help you with questions about Telefonica and Vodfone (well, let’s face it, who hasn’t had problems with them?!), electricity queries, problems with planning and legalisation of building and extensions etc., changing of driving licences and renewal of passports, importation and exportation of vehicles, hospital visits and pretty much anything else you can think of. So, if you’re worried and don’t know what to do, forget sleepless nights – ask us! Cath Dillon from Speed Financial Solutions will be

Wonderful tea and food If you happen to be in Mijas Pueblo, while you are visiting the donkeys, the grotto style little church and walking along the old cobbled winding streets of the old town, why not pop into The Original English Tea Rooms for a delicious lunch, snack or tea and fabulous cakes? They do everything from salads to homemade quiches, fresh salads, delicious sandwiches with loads of fillings to choose from, scones and an amazing variety of traditional English teas. You can find them near the miniature museum, just up from the donkeys (look upwards to the tower) and through the archway. Delicious – and it won’t break the bank either!

Factory worker Douglas Quaid decides to inject something new into his dull life and goes to Rekall, the mind-trip company that turns your dreams into “real-life” memories. After all, memories of living life as a super-spy will definitely lighten the load of each boring day at work. But of course things
go horribly wrong and he wakes from his dream to find that he is a hunted man and on the run from the police. He teams up with a freedom fighter, Melina (Jessica Biel) who is trying to make contact with the underground resistance and when his identitiy is revealed to his loving wife Lori (Beckinsale) she launches a ferocious attack on him. Is his memory that he is
actually a super-spy real or false ? Find out! It’s a very serviceable sci-fi thriller with a barrage of special effects, so expect plenty of blockbuster thrills and spills. Colin Farrell is on great form as the spy who finds himself up against his lethal wife. It’s based on sci-fi writer Philip K Dick’s short story, as was the original Paul Verhoeven 1990 version starring Arnold

Ward after ward was used for a variety of invasive surgical procedures, some necessary, some less so. As their exploration takes them deeper into the bowels of the building, they find themselves trapped by supernatural forces that
Meryl Streep (Sophie's Choice, The French Lieutenant's Woman), two-time Oscar®winner and regarded by many as the most brilliant actress of her generation, gives a magnificent performance (for which she was Emmy Award® and Golden Globe nominated) as a mother fighting for her epileptic son's right to a possible miracle cure in this heart-rending and inspiring drama. When Lori Reimuller (Streep) learns that her young son Robbie has epilepsy, she first trusts the judgment of the hospital staff in how best to bring it under control. As Robbie's

Like the coloured soap bottles in the bathroom, with the two shirts hanging up and a rag on the floor, these items are in sync with characters’ names and in the state positions.
said “Reservoir Dogs” is an excellent movie, well written, strong cast, quick dialogue and it moves at a decent pace. I think it is sad when people just think, “ugh, it´s that violent Tarantino movie” – granted there is the infamous “torture” scene, but the camera does move away and you don´t actually see anything – only proving that one’s imagination is far more graphic than you imagined.

And that is because it´s a story that will never go out of date, a robbery that goes wrong on every possible level. When Tarantino wrote these characters, it wasn´t like “I need five bad guys and one to pretend to be bad”, each character has a back story and most of them are loyal (to their boss), I have to admit that towards the end of the film, I felt bad for Mr. Orange. f you haven´t seen Irecommend “Reservoir Dogs”, I highly that you do, even if you don´t like it, because it´s part of 90s pop culture.

There is an overwhelming sense of calmness about you right now as if everything is going to work out ok, you are open to new ideas but you wish to keep your feet planted firmly to the ground. Different areas of your life are coming together and it is your intensity and tenacity that sets you apart from the others. Success and accomplishment are yours. You will be able to objectively see a relationship clearly which encourages you to put your plans into motion. There are all the right elements there for an increase in wealth or abundance of some kind, this isn’t just the material world this also includes your overall happiness and personal satisfaction too. Things have been hectic lately but you must make sure you make the time to enjoy what life has to offer. Anything that is not fixed or needs attention will be ringing in your ears, singing at you to sort out, don’t ignore this, sort these things out and you will begin to feel that personal satisfaction within. You are getting stronger, more determined and brighter with every passing day. Others may want to check in with you that they are on the right path before they take any action and it could feel like the whole universe is starting to revolve around what you think. You are being asked to get the ball rolling or things started in some way, pay close attention to the details, as your confidence is likely to increase and may cause you to miss details. There are those that may want to challenge your power and authority and this will take a lot of determination and strength on your part. It is your creative and leadership skills that will enable you to rise to the occasion. Your home and family life becomes your focus and you will be feeling full of warmth and caring towards a family member. Remember to keep on top of your chores, tasks and other responsibilities’ and your dreams will start to manifest with a solid foundation. You realise you have a challenge ahead of you, the difference this time is you are better equipped to deal with it. Now you will be sowing new seeds, deciding what you really want from life and you will be helped to make these dreams come true.

Fun times are also calling so make sure you enjoy yourself.
Your creativity and powers of imagination are sky-high, giving you the ability to rise to higher positions of leadership. This is now your time to shine and you deserve it, a lot of what is going on is down to your ability to communicate.

The conditions at the moment are cosy and comfortable, however, the greatest danger is becoming complacent with the current things in your life. The moment you begin to slow down and rust you will be put right back in the game. It is not just about what you want there are others involved too. Shortly your social situation will improve and you will be meeting lots of new acquaintances so make sure you are on the ball.
SAGITTARIUS A strength of yours has always been in your ability to motivate and inspire others, to elevate their lens of life. In so doing you simply have attracted countless opportunities on your path that appear to be driven by some sort of luck or good fortune. Even if you make a mistake right now your personality November 22nd - is shining so brightly you are likely to be forgiven and others will still want to December 21st crowd around you. Trust your gut instincts.
CAPRICORN There are a lot of powerful emotions coming at you at the start of the week that can make you feel full of self-doubt and personal challenges. You cannot allow yourself to accept any of the negativity coming at you as much of it is based more on illusion than reality. Everything will have a way of working out December 22nd - in your favour. You have made it so far, climbed mountains and gone the January 19th distance, so you cannot give up now. Prepare for change.

You know what it's like to be way down and struggling and you know what it's like when you need some kind of break or assistance. If you're not afraid of loss then you can move forward without fear. It is your moment to live large and navigate through unchartered waters. Financially you have the ability to get paid according to the value you bring to the table, speak up and say what you want and need as you may just be heard.
You are being challenged now to look back without judgment and to learn from your personal experiences. Sometimes the actions you take that hurt others was the best choice you could make at that moment. Let go of all that is not relevant now, certain things will happen to ensure you end up on the path that leads to your destiny. You may feel that you have no control over the destination or direction but you can control how you respond.

LESSON
August 23rd September 22nd
Keep on alert as others may be out to test your own personal integrity and honour. This is when you have to be internally strong and seek to do the right thing just because you can. Someone is out to offer you help and this in the long run can make things much easier for you. Watch out as there are temptations all around you encouraging you to drift away from your chosen path. The waffling and the waiting has ceased – it is time to stay focused and aim high.
Kym’s Kitchen
There isn't really a word to differenciate between the idea of house versus home. Hogar means hearth (as in fireplace) and is sometimes used to denote home but doesn't exactly have the cosiness we associate with home in English. However, we will look at some expressions which can come in useful to speak about both of these words. If you want to say you are at home Estoy en casa. I'm going home - Voy a casa Let's go home - Vamos a casa. Telling someone to make themselves at home is ¡Estás en tu casa! (literally, you are in your home) If something is nothing special we say in English that it is nothing to write home about. In Spanish this becomes "Nada del otro mundo" . While we, in English, sometimes put the cart before the horse, the Spanish speak about “Empezar la casa por el tejado" To start (building) the house at the roof. We may go overboard in the sense of sparing no expense. A Spaniard speaks of "Echar la casa por la ventana" Literally throwing the house out of the window. You may have one of those slightly antiquated pictures on your wall which says Home, Sweet Home. The Spanish equivalent is Hogar, Dulce Hogar. And to finish, can you work out what English proverb would be appropriate to translate "En casa del herrero, cuchillo de palo" Literally it means in the blacksmith's house there is a wooden knife. We would say that, the cobbler's children go barefoot. Ya está. That's it. Hasta la próxima. Until next time. Valerie Valerie runs the Centro Idiomas Language School in Coin. Her books, “The First Twelve Shortcuts to Spanish” , “The Second Twelve Shortcuts to Spanish” , “The Third Twelve Shortcuts to Spanish” (€5 each) and “The Verb Book” (€7) are available from The News office in Coin, Woody’s Cards and Books in Los Boliches, David’s Books in Los Boliches or by email from vjeffrey1@fastmail.fm .

Cool as a cucumber sandwich The American Chemical Society has named the cucumber sandwich the world’s coolest food, saying it is the best thing to eat to regulate our body temperature and avoid dehydration during a heatwave. And it works even better washed down with a cup of tea. Researchers for the society said that foods we might expect to quench our thirst – such as ice cream or chilled water – are less effective, because cold foods send parts of our body into shock, causing them to shut down and our temperatures to shoot up. Juicy fruit and vegetables, by contrast – like cucumber, watermelon and celery – have a high water content and natural cooling properties. Cucumbers originated in India more than 3,000 years ago, but putting them in a sandwich is a British invention. They first arrived in England in the late 14th century, but they weren’t put in sandwiches until the Victorian era, when they were served during afternoon tea. In Edwardian times, plentiful coal and cheap labour meant that cucumbers, grown under
glass covers, could be produced in England all year round, not just during the summer. As the domestic industry grew, news of their refreshing qualities reached colonialists in India, Africa and Australia. Cucumber sandwiches soon became associated with the opulent way of life in the Raj. They were served to royal guests at Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in 1887 and as lunch to firstclass passengers on Indian Airlines flights. But we weren’t always so fond of cucumbers. “A cucumber should be well sliced, dressed with pepper and vinegar, and then thrown out as good for nothing,” said the author Dr Samuel Johnson. In the 17th century, the cucumber (technically a vine-growing fruit) was given the nickname “cowcumber”, as many thought it was only suitable for cows to eat. It was even
thought to be dangerous. “Mr Newhouse is dead of eating cowcumbers,” wrote Samuel Pepys in his diary in 1663. There are now many variations on the original sandwich and the recipe for a perfect cucumber sandwich is the subject of much debate. Mayo or no mayo? Crusts on or off? According to the Society’s researchers, only one formula will keep us cool: wholewheat bread,
crusts left on, with healthy chunks of cucumber, a “slab” of mayonnaise and sea salt on top. Traditionalists prefer them the British way: juicy portions of cucumber, gently dried of excess water, sprinkled with salt and a dash of lemon juice, and served between two triangular slices of lightly buttered white bread with the crusts cut off – and never any mayo!
Antibiotics linked to obesity Giving antibiotics to young babies may increase their weight later in life, according to researchers at the New York University School of Medicine. Their study of 11,532 infants showed children under six months who were given antibiotics were slightly heavier between the age of 10 and 20 months. After 38 months they were 22% more likely to be overweight. They said the drugs could be affecting bacteria in the gut, leading to weight changes, but added that more work is needed to confirm there is a link. Bacteria living on people greatly outnumber the body's own cells and there is a growing interest in how this "microbiome" affects
'Clot nets' help stroke recovery The results of two studies suggest that using small nets to extract blood clots from patients' brains may be the future of stroke care. Clots block blood vessels, starving parts of the brain of oxygen, leading to symptoms such as paralysis and loss of speech. In the two studies, researchers used the technique of passing a tube inserted through the groin to the brain, then using a wire to pass through the clot, forming a coil on the far side and then pulling the clot out. But they used a tiny cage instead of a coil. This pushes the clot up against the walls of the artery and
Researchers in one of the studies said the technique would become more common, as it was more likely to clear clots than drugs: "Clot-busting drugs
The researchers said: "We typically consider obesity an epidemic grounded in unhealthy diet and exercise, yet increasingly studies suggest it's more complicated. Microbes in our intestines may play critical roles in how we absorb calories, and exposure to antibiotics, especially early in life, may kill off healthy bacteria that influence how we absorb nutrients into our bodies, and would otherwise keep us lean."

enmeshes the clot in the wires, allowing doctors to pull the clot back out of the groin. One trial on 113 patients showed 58% had good brain function after three months, compared with 33% of those treated with the coil method, as well as a lower death rate.

Sparks were flying during the Olympics’ closing ceremony but will it last?
A new flame to spice up Russell’s life … but will it end up being too spicy or just another bland (sorry, Brand) romance? According to reports yesterday (Tuesday) the somewhat creepy Russell Brand, 37, recently divorced from I Kissed A Girl singer Katy Perry, has now split with his latest girlfriend, Isabella Brewster and is having a “very serious” fling with Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, 40. The couple, plus Halliwell’s daughter Bluebell Madonna, aged 6, went on a tour of Hampton Court Palace just outside London last weekend. Onlooker Greg Oram told The Sun: "I thought it was the most random thing ever to see Russell Brand of all people
in a place like that — until my wife pointed out he was with a Spice Girl. They seemed like they were having a really great time, holding hands and chatting — it was 100 per cent obvious they were a couple. Geri was holding his hand the same way I hold my wife’s. It was so cute.” A source told one newspaper: “Things are getting very serious between them — they’re a proper couple now. They had met several times in the past, but really got to know each other during the Olympics.” Russell fell for
Geri as both rehearsed for their roles in the glittering closing ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games. And a close friend of Russell confirmed: “He ended his relationship with Isabella Brewster, and is now dating Geri properly. They’ve exactly the same sense of humour and are serious about clean living.” Interestingly enough, in an interview after the Olympics finale Russell said: “I’ve got a crush on Geri Halliwell — everything in the world is how it should be.”
Geri hinted that she was seeing someone new in an interview with Hello magazine last week. She said: "I'm not going into details. Right now there's nothing serious. I was a late starter on the romantic front. I didn't start dating until I was in my 30s. I quite like having somebody to cuddle. I like that intimacy, it would be wonderful." Ex-junkie Russell won his drink and drugs battle a decade ago and Geri has cut out booze. Russell had reportedly been planning to move in with Isabella until he met up with Geri.
Russell Brand and Geri Halliwell
And she seems to have changed her views on shaggy-headed Brand since an encounter in 2008 – when she declared: “I’d love to shave off all that crazy hair.” Geri said after meeting the bearded comic
with her bandmates backstage at a Spice Girls show: “He’s really funny and intelligent but not the type of man I go for.” She certainly seems to have changed her mind now!

John Carrington RE letter in edition 22nd August Re Julian Assange. From reading the press and internet articles, I think this matter has been misinterpreted and possibly misunderstood by many, including the writer of that letter. The ‘rape’ allegation, is reported as: "Woman ‘A’ met Julian Assange, invited him back to her flat, gave him dinner, went to bed with him, had consensual sex with him, claims that she woke up to him having sex with her again. “ That is not what springs to mind when one hears the word ‘rape’. It may very well amount to a criminal offence in Sweden, however, If they genuinely want to investigate that allegation, they can send a
Dot Wisdom I have just been extortionately over charged – ripped off – by a broadband/satellite company due to my ignorance and stupidity and their unethical behaviour. As my usual Spanish electrician was busy at the Coin feria and I needed satellite tv installed in my guest apartment, on a friend’s recommendation I called “Fred’s broadband and TV solutions” (false name). Being in ignorance of the workings of satellite TV I asked if I could run a cable from my existing dish to the apartment some 40mts away. The answer was
by email
couple of police officers to the UK and interview him to establish whether there is a case to answer under Swedish law. That is normal procedure. Sweden could probably resolve the impasse if it gave Assange confirmation that if he goes to Sweden he will not be sent to the USA. As a former UK police officer, I suspect Sweden’s intention is to assist the USA in ensuring that Assange ends up in a place where the USA can interrogate him about Wikileaks, not to really investigate the sex assault allegations. It is well documented that Sweden has been involved in Rendition procedures where people have ended up being tortured.
And just for the record: Assange was born in Queensland, Australia and is in fact a "a sixth-generation Australian". Pretty odd that Australia has been so quiet about defending his rights. However, it was reported in 2008 that Australian politicians and defence officials were refusing to address claims that Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) service members were unwittingly involved in CIA flights that transported terror suspects from Afghanistan to face possible torture. Maybe we all need to know lot more about what the USA and other countries have been, and are, engaged in to defend us !
Alhaurin de la Torre yes but I would need a special piece on the dish and also special cable due to the long run. “How much will it cost?” I asked. “Sorry, I can’t give a price until the technician has seen the work involved” was the answer. The technician duly arrived and verbally quoted 200€ which I thought expensive and said so. I was told again that the installation needed special materials, the cable alone costing 2.40€ per metre. Being ignorant of the price of satellite materials, special or otherwise, I agreed. Work finished and I am presented with a scrap of paper, the total cost of 340€. Apart from the cost of the “special materials” I had been charged for two hours labour at 45€ an hour and IVA. As this scrap of paper had no company details I refused to pay IVA. With hindsight I should never have paid a penny; my stupidity. I was very upset and seeing the reference stamped on the cable I went searching the maker on the internet and bingo! I found the cable priced at 14.63€ (IVA included) for 100mts. I then found the LNB at 21.71€. I complained to the company and I was sent by email an invoice stating that the work is guaranteed for two years and that a refund of 45€ would be made. However, not being satisfied I decided to go to their
offices in Coin to dispute their charges only to draw a complete blank with the address stated on their invoice. Frustrated, I contacted another company who specialise in this type of work and they gave me a quotation for the same work and would only have charged me 100/120€, utilizing far better quality materials. As I now see the error of my ways I would like to make these recommendations so others do not make the mistakes I made. 1. If you think something is expensive get another quotation even though the company comes recommended. Quotation preferably in writing. 2. Ask for a breakdown of charges, i.e. materials, labour etc. If I had have known that labour was to be charged at 45€/hour I would have said “no” to the installation. 3. Only use people who are prepared to give you their full name and identity number. 4. If you are presented with an account on a piece of paper do not pay IVA. An IVA invoice must have the company’s details and your details. 5. If you come across a company quoting 2.40€ for cable or 45€ an hour for labour do not use them. This company does not advertise with you.

Neil Armstrong It was with very great sadness that the world heard of the death on Saturday night of Neil Alden Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon on July 21st 1969.
N
eil Armstrong was born on 5th August 1930 in Ohio USA. He became interested in flying at a very early age and gained his pilot’s license aged 15, before he had learned to drive. He was called up into the US navy in 1949 and was posted to Pensacola flying school Florida. Here he gained his aircraft carrier landing certification. Aged just 20 he was certified as a fully qualified naval aviator with a Bachelor of Science University degree. He saw action during the Korean War from 1951 to 1953 when he resigned as a lieutenant to become a test pilot, flying the new supersonic jets such as the Bell-X1.
H
e married Janet Elizabeth Shearon in 1956 and they had three children Eric, Karen and Mark, unfortunately Karen died of pneumonia in 1962. By now Armstrong was employed at Edwards Airforce Base as a test pilot. His time there was not without incidents and on several occasions he brushed with death by pushing his aircrafts to their absolute maximum and beyond. It was his cool headedness in a situation that first attracted the attention of the newly formed National Aeronautics and Space Administration-NASA, and in 1963 Armstrong was recruited as an astronaut.
H
is first flight into space came on March 16th 1966 when, along with co-pilot Dave Scott, he commanded the Gemini 8 mission. This was supposed to demonstrate that two spacecraft could dock together in space as would be essential on a trip to the Moon. Unfortunately when the Gemini capsule became attached to an unmanned rocket the two began to spin violently out of control. It was only Armstrong’s quick thinking that managed to save both their lives although the mission itself had failed.
A
rmstrong was now attached to the latest NASA project christened Apollo; it was here that he met fellow naval pilot Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin. Armstrong was originally signed as back-up commander on Apollo 8, the first rocket to orbit the Moon in December 1968, but it was while Apollo 8 was at the Moon that Armstrong was called into the director’s office along with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins and told to prepare for a landing on the Moon in July 1969. It was now that the issue of ‘who would be first on the Moon’ raised its head. Would it be Armstrong or Aldrin? The matter came down to the design of the Lunar Module hatch door. It opened inwards and to the right so as Armstrong was standing on the left of the hatch it was
a matter of necessity that he should exit first allowing Aldrin to follow. On July 16th, 1969 Apollo 11 set off for the Moon to an area known as The Sea of Tranquillity. After a four-day flight Armstrong and Aldrin climbed into the Lunar Module leaving Michael Collins alone in the command module. The two ships separated and The Lunar Module named ‘Eagle’ began its decent toward the Moon. The flight was being monitored by mission control in Houston Texas and during the decent a computer warning signal began to scream at them ‘1202 alarm’. Nobody was really sure what a 1202 alarm was so it was ignored and the Eagle continued to the surface. Again the alarm called out but this time it was 1201 alarm. It appeared that the computer was being overloaded with data so Armstrong took the controls and steered the Eagle himself.
A
fter guiding the Eagle away from a huge crater and still 50ft above the surface, Mission control called out ‘30 seconds!’ meaning that they had just 30 seconds of fuel left. The Lunar Module came to a stop on the surface at 20:17:39 GMT on July 20th, 1969 as Armstrong radioed ‘Tranquillity base here, The Eagle has landed’. There was supposed to have been a 10-hour rest period but Armstrong was keen to explore. So at 02.56 GMT on 21st July 1969 Armstrong placed his left foot onto the surface of the Moon and uttered those words ‘That’s one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind’.
F
ollowing his return to Earth, Armstrong almost became a recluse, shunning any publicity. Many people had tried to exploit his name and image; his local barber even sold his hair clippings for $3000. His autograph sells for thousands of pounds.
N
eil Armstrong died aged 82 in Cincinnati Ohio of complications following a heart operation. To honour him, his family simply asks that you step outside tonight and ‘Wink at the Moon’.

CarFest upsets villagers in Hampshire
Around 20,000 festival-goers descended on the CarFest event – hosted by BBC2 DJ Chris Evans on Saturday and Sunday – that aimed to raise money for the BBC’s Children In Need charity. But the event staged in sleepy Overton in Hampshire, soon turned into a nightmare for the villagers as Ferraris and motorbikes clogged the country lanes, bringing chaos to the normally peaceful Hampshire countryside over the Bank holiday weekend. The event was being held at Laverstoke Farm Park owned by former F1 champion Jody Schecter.
Pedrosa wins a thriller and Motorcycle Live tickets on sale Crutchlow gets on podium now! Lorenzo had dived under Pedrosa to retake the lead through the stadium section on the final lap, only for Pedrosa to draw back alongside on the uphill run to the last chicane. Both hit the brakes at the last possible moment, with Lorenzo trying to hold on around the outside. But Pedrosa had the better line and clung on to claim surely his best ever MotoGP victory by just 0.178s. Britain's Cal Crutchlow toasted his new contract with the Tech 3 Yamaha team in sensational style as he powered to third place, Crutchlow had qualified in second place on the grid. The 26-yearold's fastest lap was just 0.196s behind pole man Jorge Lorenzo on the factory YZR-M1 and Crutchlow carried it over into race day to claim his maiden rostrum MotoGP finish. Crutchlow held third place from the first lap to last, crossing the line twelve seconds from victory, but a safe six seconds clear of Yamaha Tech 3 team-mate Andrea
de Puniet (ART) completed the top eight, while Lorenzo's teammate Ben Spies suffered yet another DNF.
Dovizioso. Dovizioso was denied a sixth podium finish in eight races by his Tech 3 Yamaha team-mate, but the Italian was gracious in his assessment of the British star's performance. Dovizioso, who will join Ducati next season, was unable to reel in Crutchlow despite his best efforts and had to settle for a comfortable fourth place on the YZR-M1 after holding off an early challenge from Valentino Rossi. “I was confident going into the race that I could fight for the podium. But there is no doubt that Cal did a better job than me and I congratulate him for getting his first podium in
MotoGP,” said Dovizioso. “When I was close to him in the early laps I could see he gained some time in corner entry and he had more corner speed than me. But he lost on the exit but for sure he was gaining more than he lost.” “I spent the whole race pushing at my maximum to recover the gap to him but it was not possible,” added Dovi. “He was very consistent and I couldn't push him into making a mistake, so he did a great job.” Stefan Bradl (LCR Honda), Alvaro Bautista (Gresini Honda), Valentino Rossi (Ducati) and Randy
Barrichello: Not time to bury me yet Rubens Barrichello has said that he still hankers after one more chance to race in F1, despite making a new home for himself in the US-based IndyCar Series in 2012. The Brazilian has found a new home in the United States after childhood friend Tony Kanaan arranged a chance to join the KV Racing Technology team. Although results haven't gone Barrichello's way in the first two-thirds of the year, he appears poised to sign up for a second campaign, but admits that he hasn't completely closed the door on returning to the top flight should the opportunity arise.

The race took place in cool but dry conditions after heavy overnight rain, with pole sitter Lorenzo holding the lead until just after the halfway point of the 22 laps, when Pedrosa out-braked him into turn three. But Lorenzo had offered little resistance, suggesting he may have allowed the Honda rider past. Either way, Pedrosa – quickest throughout practice, but third on the grid after a crash in qualifying – was unable to escape and a prowling Lorenzo inevitably launched a last lap attack. But it wasn't enough to prevent Pedrosa emerging with his third victory of the season.

Lawrie wins Johnnie Walker Paul Lawrie won his second title of the season with victory in the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles. The 43-year-old Scot celebrated his Ryder Cup return with a four-stroke win over Australian Brett Rumford. Lawrie, who won in Qatar in February, led overnight and shot 68 for his eighth European Tour title. After slumping to 346th in the world back in 2005.Lawrie, who won the Open at Carnoustie in 1999, has rediscovered his passion for the game. Earlier this week, the Aberdonian secured his return to the Ryder Cup for the first time since his debut in the infamous Brookline event in 1999. "I felt better this week, I felt calmer, things didn't bother me as they had the last couple of months," said Lawrie, who was also joint second behind Luke Donald at the PGA Championship at Wentworth. "It's not easy. I wanted to be in that team so bad." Lawrie led Frenchman Romain Wattel by a stroke going into the final round
and produced a consummate display of ball-striking and mental discipline to seal his third professional win on home soil. "I missed a putt on each of the first five holes," Lawrie said. "I could have been five under at the start, but I kept chugging away and showed patience. It's been the most satisfying week. "It's been probably one of the best ball-striking weeks in my career. I putted pretty poorly today but still shot four under which showed how nicely I struck the ball. "The course was wet and soft but I was hitting the ball long. And I am now playing the best golf of my career." Lawrie's Ryder Cup team-mate Francesco Molinari of Italy was in a group on 10 under alongside previous European captain Colin Montgomerie and fellow Scots Richie Ramsay and Stephen Gallacher. The tie for sixth gave the
49-year-old Montgomerie, the eight-time European number one, his best finish in more than four years.
RYDER CUP Ian Poulter and Nicolas Colsaerts have taken the final two spots on the European Ryder Cup team for the match at Medinah next month. Poulter is a fearsome matchplay opponent, while Colsaerts will be the only rookie in the team but his match play record is
very good – he won the World Match Play Championship in Spain this year. The Team Luke Donald Sergio Garcia Peter Hanson Martin Kaymer Paul Lawrie Graeme McDowell Rory McIlroy Francesco Molinari Justin Rose Lee Westwood Ian Poulter (wildcard) Nicolas Colsaerts (wildcard)
Double gold now double girls for Mo Farah as wife gives birth to twins Double Olympic champion Mo Farah is the father of twin girls, he has announced. Farah, who won the men's 5,000m and 10,000m amid joyous scenes at the Olympic Stadium, said it was "great news". His wife Tania was heavily pregnant when she joined him on the track after his first triumph three weeks ago. The Team GB runner had dedicated his medals to his unborn daughters after achieving the rare double and sealing his status as a star of the Games. Speaking at a press conference in Birmingham on Saturday, Farah said: "My wife has been holding on so long and it's great that she held on this long and didn't give birth on the track (at the Olympics)."
He said he had been present when his wife gave birth in London on Friday and added that while no names had yet been chosen, they would eventually be inscribed on his gold medals. "I am actually going to get their names on them, once we've figured out something with the medals – one on each. And then whichever one was born first gets the 10,000m and the other gets the 5,000m one."
Dusseldorf: Athletics Paralympics ‘set to take off’ says IPC president official killed by javelin The Paralympic Games which start today (Wednesday) are set "to take off in London" according to International Paralympic Committee president Sir Philip Craven. Craven competed at five Paralympics and believes this summer's Games will change attitudes. "The world started to take note of the Paralympic Games in Beijing and I think we're really going to take off in London," said Craven.
Athletics Captains Named
Tracey Hinton
The captains of the British Paralympic women's and men's athletics teams have been
named as sprinter Tracey Hinton and thrower Stephen Miller. Between them, Hinton, from Cardiff, and Northumberland's Miller have competed in nine Paralympic Games. Hinton will compete in the 200m and 100m, while club thrower Miller will be hoping to score another gold. The pair were introduced to the 48-strong athletics team at the UK Athletics training camp in Portugal.
After finishing 18th in the Beijing 2008 medal table, the Great Britain athletics team are aiming to finish eighth in London 2012 with a target of 23 medals, including five to eight golds. Britain's Paralympic team were set a minimum medal target of 103 from at least 12 sports by UK Sport earlier this month. In Beijing four years ago, GB finished with 102 medals, including 42 golds from 11 sports, and were second behind China who won 89 golds.

After the great Champions League win in midweek over Panathinaikos 2-0, it was back to the league again and another 11pm start on a Saturday night. Malaga 1 - 1 Mallorca
FOOTBALL
22,000 spectators turned up at La Rosaleda despite the unreasonably late start (more on that in our other article on this page). Manuel Pellegrini rested six players from the team that started in the Champions League game, but from the start you would not have known, as Malaga started with much the same tempo seen on Wednesday night. Eight corners in the first
half and a multitude of possessions failed to produce a goal which Malaga would have deserved. Mallorca's front two though, were always looking dangerous and from a break on 67 minutes it was Nsue breaking down the right and sending over a cross for Hemed to head home that put the visitors in front.
Pellegrini brought on Eliseu and Coin youngster Juanmi to change things around and this brought immediate dividends. when on 76 minutes Juanmi seized on a ball and finished brilliantly from inside the box to level things, much to the delight of the fans. Joaquin, bought on late, should have scored from a

Malaga’s players are showing that they have the heart and desire to get results despite all the upsets before the start of the new season, and with four points from two La Liga games, and the way they played against Panathinaikos we can keep the faith.

Dennis Wise for Sky Blues?
Many empty seats at this 11.00pm kick off
"We hate modern football, we hate television." That header was on a banner held up by disgusted Deportiva La Coruña fans telling the LFP, the Spanish equivalent of the F.A. exactly what they think of these late kick off times. Spanish games now kick off at nine different time slots over a weekend, starting at 6pm on Saturday and finishing at the new 'summer' slot of 11pm. Yes, pm – you read that right. Zaragoza, who normally attract crowds of 30,000, were told to play in that slot recently and the fans protested either by not showing up or by booing and waving banners. Two other teams who kicked off at 11pm also suffered low attendances with just 11,703 watching Mallorca v Espanyol and 14,295 watching Levante against Atletico Madrid. Even Barcelona were down with just 57,721 against Real Sociedad their lowest league attendance for four years and 20,000 short of the opening fixture last season, with a yawning 41,000 empty seats. Valencia's new Portuguese right-back Joao Pereira said: "In Portugal it's considered late if a game kicks off at 9.15pm.
11pm is bad for the fans. The game finishes at a time when people should be sleeping. How can a child of 10 years old go to a game at that time? It's not good for football."And how true is that, just see how many youngsters go to watch Malaga, how can they be expected to get up for a school day after getting to bed at gone 2.00am? The television contracts are unfairly aligned towards the big two, Barca's €163 million and Real's €156 million dwarf the €42 million earned by Valencia, who finished a distant third behind champions Real and second-placed Barca in La Liga last season. Lower down the pay scale clubs like Malaga can expect just €12 million. The top two in England, United and City, earned about half as much from TV rights as Real and Barca last season but the gap may close altogether depending on the size of overseas rights deals and whether Spain's dominant pair can be persuaded to adopt an English-style bargaining system.
Stage win for Cavendish Mark Cavendish brought the Tour of Denmark to a successful close for Team Sky with victory on the final stage. The world champion received the full backing from the team on the closing test as they set about chasing down the day’s breakaway. Cavendish repaid that effort
with a powerful sprint to take top honours on stage six in Frederiksberg, holding off the attentions of Matteo Pelucchi (Europcar) and Andre Greipel (Lotto-Belisol) at the line. The result marked a strong return for Cavendish following an extended break after the Olympics and
represented his 12th victory of the season. For their efforts over the five days Team Sky also took away the team classification award. Dutchman Lieuwe Westra (Vacansoleil-DCM) safely held on to his overnight lead to claim the overall win. Courtesy of www.teamsky
Dennis Wise and Kevin Blackwell are among a large number of applicants for Coventry City's vacant managerial post, reports BBC Coventry & Warwickshire. The Sky Blues sacked manager Andy Thorn on Sunday following a disappointing start to the season, drawing all three of their opening matches. The Coventry board have received a high volume of applications vying for the first managerial opening of the season. Former Millwall, Swindon and Leeds United manager Wise, 45, finished his playing career with Coventry, scoring six times in a total of 13 league appearances in 2006. However, he has been without a job since leaving his executive role at Newcastle United in 2009 following a disagreement with then Magpies manager Kevin Keegan.
