Girl held on suspicionof recruiting for IS MOROCCAN teenager arrested in seaside resort of Gandia, Valencia

AS thousands flee from Syria for fear ofpersecution and ancient monuments aredesecrated, the Spanish authorities aredoing all that they can to combat ‘theenemy within’.

A Moroccan teenaged girl was arrest-ed on Saturday September 5 in the sea-side town of Gandia, suspected of actingto recruit other young women to thecause of so called IS (Islamic State).

Heavily armed police entered herhome and marched her handcuffed andin full burka dress through the mainstreet of the city in front of hundreds oflocal onlookers.

In a society that is so close to NorthAfrica and has a recent history of reli-gious tolerance, Spain is in a difficultposition. It is easily infiltrated and withthe open access of the internet, the dis-semination of anti-Western and pro-Ji-hadist propaganda is difficult to stop.

Many may condemn the open dis-play of the arrest but the girl could notbe identified as her face was fully cov-ered and her name was withheld.

The situation is clear to the majoritythat the more publicity gained for thelegal removal of threats to society, theless chance there is to see a repeat ofthe shameful killing of 191 people inthe Madrid train bombings of 2004.

POLITICAL party IzquierdaUnida (IU) is concerned overchanges about to be made to thewater supply in Velez-Malaga.

It is to present a series ofdocuments to a judge, regard-

ing works requested by formerMayor Francisco DelgadoBonilla to the municipal watercompany Aqualia, which wereto cost as much as €1 millionand were signed only threedays before he left the position.According to IU, the works

were not necessary and poten-tially dangerous.

The project intends to in-clude water from Molino de lasMonjas reservoirs in the com-mon supply. These waters arecontaminated by nitrates, ac-cording to IU, and it would on-

ly make sense to add them tothe supply if there was a watershortage. “The water comingfrom this natural stream wasleft unused due to its high levelin nitrates, once we were grant-ed access to the water reservoirof La Viñuela,” IU said.

BURRIANA’S beach roundabout is to be athing of the past.

Nerja Council has told the local businessowners association that it will dismantle thestructure built by the former governing

team, which was to reorganise the traffic to-wards the underground car park.

Most complaints related to the narrowspace left by the roundabout which makes itdifficult for vehicles, especially buses, to

turn. “The complaints put forward by theassociation regarding this structure addedup to a previous study the current govern-ment was carrying out after receivingdozens of complaints,” a statement read.

Van Nijen remarked that the exhibition was madeup of acrylic pieces and oil paintings, and have beencrafted during the past 20 years. They depict herartistic development, going from the more abstractstyle, then surrealism, and a mix between the twostyles. The pieces also reflect scenes from Andalu-cian folklore including flamenco, as the artist ex-plained that the culture of this region had had a pro-found effect on her.

“I am currently working on the creation of a newbilingual book, which will be published both in Eng-lish and Spanish, on the life of artists who have livedin Almuñecar and La Herradura,” Van Nijen re-vealed

The exhibition can be visited at the Casa de laCultura (Calle Granada, 19), until September 16,from 6.30pm to 9pm Monday to Friday and on Sat-urdays from 11am to 1pm.

THE intense rain registered on Monday(September 7) in Almuñecar and LaHerradura has left a lot of damage in itswake. At 10am, water from the riversSeco, Vede and Jata was discharged intothe sea, after they overflowed. Dozens ofcalls were registered at the Local Policeand Fire Brigade stations from residentswho were seeing gutters clogged by rub-bish and leaves.

“Fortunately, the heavy rain has notlasted for long, otherwise it would havecaused significant damage,” said aspokesperson for Almuñecar FireBrigade, who continued: “However, we

have had to attend different places forfloods in the areas of Avenida Costa delSol, Principe de Asturias, the PaseoVelilla and Rambla Caballero, amongstothers.”

THE old brick and tile fac-tory El Prado, located infront of the El Ingenioshopping centre in Torre delMar (Velez-Malaga) contin-ues to be a matter of contro-versy.

The Off ice for NatureStudies of Axarquia andecological associat ionGENA-Ecologistas en Ac-cion, announced on Thurs-day (September 3), that theasbestos found on theroof of the factory will haveto be removed by its own-ers.

Jose Luis Gamez, GENAmember, reminded that inAugust 2014, they de-nounced before the Velez-Malaga Council and otherauthori t ies, the hazard ofcontamination that this fac-tory represented.

Faci l i t ies were closeddown back in 2010, due tothe construction crisis and,

since then, it has been thesubject of burglaries and aseries of fires which result-ed in part of the roof col-lapsing.

After that, it was disman-tled by scrap dealers who

took no safety measures tohandle asbestos, accordingto the associations.

Mr Gamez added that as-bestos is a hazardous mater-ial which, after breaking up,particles can damage peo-

ple’s health, causing differ-ent kinds of cancer.

The town council has nowissued an execution orderwhich forces the owners tocordon off 853 metres (for aprice of €3,708), removeasbestos , es t imated to bemore than 568 cubic metres,with an est imated cost of€107,838.

The local government hasgiven owners a per iod ofthree months to carry outthe works.

In the case they do notcomply, the town council isto carry out works, and thenrequest the money to fromthe company in charge.

Mr Gamez also remindedthat an official report wasissued by members of hisparty, Equo. He said the sit-uation is even more delicateas there is a shopping cen-tre , a water park and anevent hall, together with asenior home in the areaclose to the factory.

IT was on February 6, 1952, that KingGeorge VI died whilst Princess Eliza-beth and the Duke of Edinburgh werestaying at Treetops in Kenya. It was theevent which spawned the oft-repeatedphrase ‘she went to bed a princess andwoke up a queen’ although she wasn’tactually aware of the fact until the after-noon of the 7th when the Duke of Edin-burgh broke the news to her.

At 25, she was thrust into a role thatshe wasn’t really prepared for. Althoughshe had become heir to the throne at theage of 10, there was still a chance that a ifa son was born to the king, he would suc-ceed him.

In the event this was not to be and likeher great, great grandmother, Victoria, notonly has she been a successful and well-loved sovereign, she has also taken the ti-tle of longest reigning monarch in Britishhistory.

Now in her 90th year, the woman chris-tened Elizabeth Alexandra Mary has seensome of the most dramatic changes in so-ciety since the Industrial Revolution andshe seems to cope with all of this transi-tion gracefully and perhaps with a slightlyknowing smile.

It would be impossible to highlight theachievements of this remarkable womanwho has dedicated so much of her life tothe service of Country and Common-

wealth. But on September 9, she overtookQueen Victoria to ‘clock up’ 23,227 daysas monarch and we at Euro Weekly Newshope that this record will continue to in-

crease for many years to come.When on duty, Queen Elizabeth takes a

keen interest in all things connected with

Bri ta in and of course theCommonwealth, and although she is pre-cluded from taking part in matters of a po-l i t ical nature , she s t i l l meets with herprime minister every week to discuss mat-ters of state, and it is said that she doesfrom time to time give very good advice.

A lover of horses and owner of a num-ber of thoroughbreds, she used to enjoyriding, al though now at nearly 90, shemakes do with four wheels rather thanfour legs. Incredibly widely travelled, shehas had to let other members of her familytake over a number of her internationalduties.

Sti l l working hard, but also taking agreat interest in her large family of fourchildren, eight grandchildren and fourgreat-grandchildren, the Queen certainly

embodies all that is respected in what isstill the United Kingdom.

Whilst well-grounded in the protocol ofthe monarchy, Her Majesty gave no indi-cation that she would celebrate the eventin any public manner and carried on withher usual round of engagements.

Time is weighing on both her shouldersand those of Prince Philip, who is now 94- and holds his own record as the longest-serving consort of a re igning Bri t ishmonarch and the oldest-ever male memberof the British royal family - which is whymore official visits will be undertaken bythe Prince of Wales and other members ofthe royal family.

Orthostatic Tremor: Being ableto walk but not stand stillSEPTEMBER is Orthostatic Tremor Aware-ness Month. Never heard of OrthostaticTremor (OT)? Most physicians haven’t, letalone the general public. But for the smallnumber of adults who develop OT aroundmidlife, it’s very real, very life limiting andit’s very, very hard to explain to others.

With OT, one can walk quite well at a briskpace, but slow down or stand still, and yourlegs no longer hold you up! OT meansweight-bearing tremor, a high-speed musculartremor that begins the minute one slows downor stands still and makes the legs weak andunsteady. First identified in 1984 by DoctorKenneth Heilman (USA), it’s been comparedto riding a bicycle; you’re fine when you’reriding along, wobbly when you slow downand unable to stand upright on two wheels.

When other people see someone with OTwho is walking, they have a hard time under-standing why that person can’t just stand andchat with them. But try to explain, when noone’s ever heard of OT, and it doesn’t com-pute. People with OT can also have difficultycarrying heavy items and extending their armsas in changing a lightbulb or reaching to fix

something. Standing chores must be done sit-ting down.

An obvious suggestion might be to use awheelchair, but who would use a wheelchairwhen they can walk?

Rare disorders such as OT do not attract thekind of research funding that produces treat-

ments and medicines that can be mass-mar-keted. But people with OT have found soli-darity through their website OTResource.org,meetings and clinical studies, raising aware-ness in their personal networks, and raisingsupport for smaller research projects.

Reservoirs in the province are holding 371 cubic hectometres, 60.28 per cent oftheir total capacity, which although less than this time last year will be plenty. La Con-cepcion reservoir behind Marbella is at its highest level since 1996-1997, meaning thecity has been able to switch off all but one of its eight desalination plant lines.SAFE LEVELS: Although stores are lower than at this time last year.

A REPORT published by theNational Statistics Institutehas shown a cont inuedgrowth of company profi tssince the beginning of the re-cession.

During the second quarterof this year the gross earningof Spanish companies was€119.88 billion, down onlyby 1.8 per cent when com-pared to the same quarter of2008.

Part of the reason can beexplained by the fact that thecost of wages have actuallydropped over the same periodby around 8 per cent to€130.73 billion for the quar-ter.

An increase in consumerconfidence has seen strongperformances from retail out-lets such as El Corte Inglesand Lefties which is part ofthe Zara group.

NEW YORK’S Carnegie Hall is atheatre and a half. Like the city’s oldGrand Central Station it was built toimpress. I recall the Irish folk grouptelling their audience of their child-hood experiences when carol singing.

“The other children would rushthrough their songs as quickly as pos-sible so they could cover more doorsand collect extra money. We sang oursongs slowly, deliberately and withfeeling. We never made much mon-ey,” Tom Clancy quipped. “But wedid end up at Carnegie Hall.”

I was reminded of this when, aftermy dental bridge fell out, the dentistglued it back in faster than I canbrush my teeth and then palmed €95.You guessed it; the bridge wiggledand fell out within weeks.

Explaining my dilemma to an alter-native dentist, el maestro diligentlyapplied himself to the inside of mymaws for at least 20 minutes. Suc-

cess, I am so happy.We can all learn from such stories.

Forget the money; focus instead ongetting the job right and any lostmoney will double when it finds itsway back into your till. During 20years of business doctoring I pickedup many tips.

The best and most memorable was;“Always exceed your customer’s ex-pectations and you will never again

need to advertise.”This raises another point, that of

advertising. The reason there are somany different forms of advertising isbecause they all work. The trick is toselect the advertising medium thatbest suits your needs.

Newspaper advertising, hard copyor online, will always be king. It sim-ply ticks more boxes.

A close contender is word of

mouth. It is a good idea to hand a fewbusiness cards to your client as youare about to go on your way. Press afew business cards into your client’shand. “Feel free to call me in the un-likely event of a problem. I have lefta couple more that you might pass onto friends who might welcome yourrecommendation.”

This small gesture will be both ap-preciated and profitable.

Quality pays dividends

PRIME MINISTER David Cameronannounced on Tuesday September 1that he intends to introducesignificant fines for companies thatdo not pay the national living wage.

For those who may be confused,the phrase national living wage wasdropped into George Osborne’s Julybudget and is taken to have replacedthe previous minimum wage.

The new base for the nationalwage for those over 25 will increaseto £7.20 (€9.80) per hour fromApril of next year with anundertaking that it will, by 2020,rise to £9 (€12.25). The wages forthose under 25 continues to beslightly less but will also rise nextyear.

“The national living wage willonly work if it is properlyenforced,” David Cameron said inan article for The Times newspaper.“Businesses are responsible formaking that happen, and today I’m

announcing how we will make surethey do.”

Fines for non-payment willdouble, opening up employers to apenalty of 200 per cent of unpaidwages up to a maximum of £20,000(€27,000), The Times said andthose responsible could facedisqualification as companydirectors for up to 15 years.

“To unscrupulous employers whothink they can get labour on thecheap, the message is clear:underpay your staff, and you willpay the price,” Cameron said.

Ironically the following day, theOffice for National Statistics said itestimated 744,000 people, equiva-lent to 2.4 per cent of Britain’sworkforce, were employed on zero-hour contracts in the second quarterof 2015, compared with 624,000 inthe same quarter of 2014.

Supporters of these contracts saythey offer flexibility to bothemployers and staff and that peopleon them find them to be very usefulbut trade unions believe that notonly do they cause instability anduncertainty within the workforce,they also make it hard for workersto rent property, borrow money, oreven to be eligible for sick pay.

According to the ONS, women,full-time students and older peopleare more likely to work on zero-hour contracts and up to 40 per centof people on zero-hour contractsreported that they wanted to workmore hours.

Bosses who don’t pay the NationalLiving Wage will be penalised

IN the music movie ‘Once’ the main charac-ters bring a recording of a song they wroteinto a bank manager’s office in an effort towoo him into giving them a loan for a studiorecording session.

More traditionally, however, those seekingcredit tend to put on some respectable-look-ing clothes and just smile politely at the bankmanager in the hope of securing a mortgage,a car loan or other credit. But all this may beabout to change. A smart blouse or tie mayno longer cut it when it comes to scoringsome extra cash. Banks are now looking atgetting customers to do a personality test ifthey want to borrow money.

According to a new report from the UK,some banks are in the trial process of intro-ducing ‘psychometric tests’ to better calcu-

late the chances of borrowers failing to payback a loan. As well as the regular routinecredit checks, it looks like applicants in the

near future will also be told to answer a se-ries of questions to examine their attitudestoward others, sense of honesty, integrity and

general beliefs about society.Sample type s ta tement quest ions that

you’ll need to give a rating to if seeking aloan in the next few years may include:

- My goals in life are clear.- If people are rude I shrug it off.- I can work even when things are disor-

ganised.- I prefer working in a stable rather than

flexible environment.- It’s better to get the job done than aim

for perfection.Apparently, the answers given to such

statement questions are fed into a specialcomputer programme, which then analysesjust how trustworthy, or otherwise, a cus-tomer might seem to be. Depending on howwell one does on this test could then influ-ence whether a loan is given or not!

These types of tests are already commonlyused in the workplace. Human resources of-ten use them when hiring staff to assess theirpotential weaknesses and strengths, but nowyour bank wants to delve deeper into yourpersonality too!

Your personality may be in the hotseat when applying for a bank loan

33OPINION & COMMENT 10 - 16 September 2015 / Axarquía - Costa Tropical www.euroweeklynews.com EWN

AN interesting reaction by the Spanish po-lice in Gandia last week. After arresting awoman for allegedly trying to recruit otherfemales to fight for ISIS, they cuffed herand paraded her down the street fullyburka’d up.

Personally I think they should have keptgoing all the way to the airport and shovedher on a plane to Syria. With a bit of luckshe’d have been ‘martyred’ in a week.

The problem I have with all this migrantbusiness is that the majority of those wish-ing to cross into European countries aremainly pretty fit and able-looking youngmen; presumably running away from thevarious battles that plague their countries.

I’m sure if the UK was being overrun byalien forces, most of the true Brit youngmen would be fighting to the death to pre-serve it. Fighting on the beaches, in thehills and so forth. Not so this lot, it seems.

I wonder, if we do let them all in (which inmy opinion would be a disastrous mis-take), and one day we find the Jihadistslanding in the shadow of the White Cliffs

of Dover, would they all then fight for thecountry that gave them sanctuary? Some-how I doubt it. Faced with the murdererswho terrified them in the first place, I for

one am pretty certain where their alle-giances would finish up.

Along with the undoubted scores of‘sleepers’ and Muslim extremists alreadyentrenched in our towns and cities, wecould easily be importing a Trojan horse;the contents of which could one day ripthe UK apart.

I do of course feel considerable compas-sion for the poor little waif washed up onthe beach and to me the answer is simple;only allow families to enter the UK.Wives, husbands and children. These arethe ones who truly need the extended handof our compassion.

I also see they also recently arrested an-other woman and family just before shemanaged to cross into Syria. Apparentlythey’re shipping them all back to the UK.Oh good! Yet another bunch of disgruntledpotential terrorists walking the streets ofthe UK. I dunno, sometimes I really do de-spair of it all.

We could be importing a Trojan horse

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT

IF Jihadists invaded UK shores, where would migrants’ allegiances lie?

DISASTROUS MISTAKE: Will Jihadists land in the shadow of the White Cliffs?

IF you have ever imagined what Par-adise is like, then La Barraca Restau-rant at La Herradura would most likelybe a vision that fits the dream.

This hidden treasure is set deep inthe heart of the Parque Natural de losAncantilados de Maro-Cerro Gordo onthe picturesque beach of Playa de Can-tarrijan. It is a family-run businesswhich was established over 25 yearsago when Joaquin Barbero opened thefirst chiringuito on the coastline;Joaquin himself had half a century ofexperience in the restaurant business.

Now La Barraca maintains its tradi-tional charm and beauty and is nowrun by Joaquin’s grandson, Isaac Ro-drigues, the proprietor. With thebreathtaking surroundings of this tropi-cal coastline, La Barraca offers a tasteof Paradise to all who visit. The menuis rich in seafood options and there aremany more gastronomic delights in-cluding Isaac’s Angus Beef Tenderloin,Red Tuna, and Eggs with natural blacktruffles.

Although traditional, the cuisine atLa Barraca is exciting and innovative,

which is why many are eager to return.You can also enjoy variations of paella,calamares, lasagne and octopus. Thedessert menu offers some of the mostdreamy and creamy temptations. It isalso excellent value for money withdishes from only €7.

The wine list is something that LaBarraca is proud to offer as there is achoice of winesfrom Spain’s best DOC(Denominations of Origin).

This idyllic venue isan ideal location forspecial functions as itis open all yearround. It is a perfectbackdrop for adream wedding,and as the terracelooks out to the Mediterranean, it ismagical both by day and night. Duringthe winter months, La Barraca has an

a d d e dattraction of a central log burningfireplace, so you can still enjoy the

spectacular views in comfort inthe cooler months.

It is a must-visit tropical par-adise.

To find La Barraca you musttake a winding road from the oldN30 coast road at the signpost forLa Herradura Costa Tropical.

IT may not seem a major driving issue, but acommonly asked question on the N332 web-site is “do I need to carry a spare pair ofglasses in my car?”

The law regarding drivers with glasses toalways carry a spare pair has been modifiedand last December a document was pub-lished by the DGT called ‘Consejos y Nor-mas de Seguridad’ to give drivers some ad-vice during their travels. In point 5.4 youcan read the following: ‘Si utiliza gafas grad-uadas es aconsejable (ADVISABLE) llevarunas de repuesto’ (If you use prescriptionglasses, it is advisable to carry a spare pair).

So it is not compulsory to carry aspare pair in your car, but re-member that you mustwear glasses if you need them,all the time.

Therefore you cannot be finedfor not carrying a spare pair ofglasses, but you could be fined if

your glasses are broken and you are drivingwithout them, which is why the DGT says itis advisable to carry a spare pair.

End of summer road campaignsLast weekend saw the end of the summer

road campaigns with ‘Retorno del verano’marking the start of travellers returning fromtheir holiday destinations along the cost.

Running from last Friday at 3pm to mid-night on Sunday, the authorities reported anexpected 5.9 million vehicle movementsduring the weekend.

To ensure the safe flow of movement,10,000 traffic officers from the Guardia Civil

were on duty supported by an army ofengineers, technicians and traffic

management staff throughout thecountry.

Yes, an official res-ident of Spain may

legally drive a foreign-regis-tered car on Spanish roads,as long as he does not ownthe vehicle. Let’s supposethat your cousin from theUK is spending the summerwith you in Spain. Some-times you use his car to runerrands. This is perfectly le-gal. You should keep asigned note of permissionfrom the owner in the car.

If you have a plan to usethe UK car in Spain for longperiods there are two pointsto keep in mind. First, theowner of the UK car cannotstay in Spain more than sixmonths in a calendar year.Second, many UK insurancecompanies place a time lim-it on how long the insuredcar can be outside the UK.

They may also check thedriver using the car is regis-tered on the policy.

In your article of August 27 youstated that an official Spanish resi-

dent was not permitted to own and op-erate a UK-plated car in Spain. My questionis: Can I legally drive a UK-plated car not

owned by me? This car would be legal todrive in the UK, with up-to-date MOT andinsurance.

35OPINION & COMMENT 10 - 16 September 2015 / Axarquía - Costa Tropicalwww.euroweeklynews.com EWN

GLASSES:Better tocarry a

spare pair.

SO you have just finished a long, tire-some journey and all you want to do ischeck into your hotel and chill for a bit.

You get to check-in and give them yourpassport, credit card, booking reference,car number (I usually make that bit up asit’s a hire car and I can’t be bothered to gocheck it). You then start the hike to yourroom, which is usually as far from Recep-tion as can be.

You open the door and there it is - thesmallest room you have ever seen and aview of the air-conditioning units on thecar park roof.

This is where the fun begins! It’s3 o’clock, it’s check-in time so you knowit’s not because you are late. Off I go backto Reception.

“Sorry that room is not for me, do youhave another please?” I enquire. “Let me

look ….err, erm, let me check if they havebeen serviced,” replies the receptionist.Yes, sir, we can move you... there is achoice. Would you like to see them?” heasks. “Yes, please,” I reply and off we gowith Sherpa Tensing leading the way onour trek.

Room 2 is a bit better. I do the cat-swinging test and it fails although I cansee a glimmer of daylight through the un-openable windows. BTW, what’s that allabout? “May I see the other one, please?”I ask. And off we go again a few floorshigher and there it is. The Room! Theroom that was being saved for whom? Idon’t know. But now it’s mine. It has aview, it is spacious with a nice big doublebed, not two singles hooked together.“Thank you, this will do nicely. Butplease tell me, why didn’t I get this roomto begin with?” I say. Spotty youth shrugsand says he doesn’t know. If anyone does,know please enlighten me.

So, people, when you check into a ho-tel in the future I give you permission touse my line: “May I see the third roomfirst, please?”

Mike SenkerIn my opinionViews of a Grumpy Old Man

May I see the thirdroom first, please?THIRD-TIME lucky at hotel check-in

I HAVE been involved in dog trainingfor over 55 years during which time Ihave used methods that I was taught inthe Israeli Police and some which I in-vented for my own working systems.

All those involved in the UK canineindustry really have to thank the lateBarbara Woodhouse who in the1960s/70s introduced dog training withher famous phrase ‘Walkies’ and in myopinion Barbara, a pioneer, was a pas-sive trainer.

Prior to Barbara Woodhouse, 90 percent of dogs were yard/garden dogsliving outside, not in a kennel.

During the 80s Roger Mugford, arenowned zoologist, introduced thehead collar called the ‘Halti’ whichwas a new method of controlling dogsto walk to heel, similar to a horse hal-ter. Everyone has a lot to thank Rogerfor and his idea is now copied through-out the world. Many in the industry in-cluding myself laughed at the idea ofwalking a dog on a head collar. Likeeverything in life, there is progress, theHalti was an ethos into the caninetraining industry.

Over the past 25 years there havebeen many new concepts and studiesand as a result more positive reinforce-ment training has been used to educatepeople who have pets. We now knowthrough studies that dogs are not packanimals! It has been proven that many

of their genes are not those of a wolf.There are no pack rules, we shouldraise dogs as we raise children, and ourdogs should also go to a school.

I am aware of the type of trainingmethods used by Cesar Millan, theMexican in the USA who has manyTV shows, which include using elec-tric collars and tapping the dog’s bodyand feet with his foot which ap-pears to people as if he is kick-ing the dog. Cesar’s systemunfortunately is now com-pletely out of date and he isself-taught. He says he nev-er hurts the animals, onlytouches them lightly.

OPINION & COMMENT10 - 16 September 2015 / Axarquía - Costa Tropical www.euroweeklynews.comEWN42

HOW stupid are the leaders of Is-lamic State (IS)? If they had anycommon sense at all they wouldbe using these World Heri tageSites as safe havens, knowing fullwell that no-one is going to bombthem into oblivion!

They could also carry WorldHeritage priceless artifacts on theroof-racks of their vehicles whentravelling between safe havens, orperhaps a couple of dozen copiesof the Koran in full view.

Who would dare to incur thewrath of the rest of the Muslimworld by deliberately targetingthese?

We know that the leaders of thefight against Islamic State have nocompunction against the collateraldamage of women and children indrone attacks on real estate or ve-hicles, apart from public wringingof hands (and shaking of hands inprivate). But publicly damage aKoran?

Keith Hallam(By email)

Off the markI WOULD be very interested toknow how Colin Bird can makesuch a ludicrous statement as hedoes, when listing the criteria hefeels that ex-pats will follow whenvoting in the EU referendum.

In par t icular i tem 3 – quote“The LIE that they wil l be cutadrift should Britain leave”! Howdoes he know that we will NOT becut adrift?

Has he been privy to Govern-ment plans for us ex-pats shouldwe withdraw from the EU? I verymuch doubt that even the Govern-ment has given this any thought todate.

Be in no doubt, based on pastperformance, his statement willlikely be way off the mark. Wheresavings are to be made, such as forhealthcare and annual pension in-creases for ex-pats, they will bemade! What will that be if not be-ing ‘cut adrift’? No problem forthose who can afford to pay forprivate healthcare and to live on afrozen pension, or indeed who areworking. Not so for the many pen-

sioners in a less fortunate position.We have no choice but to make

our voices heard and vote to stayin the EU. The last thing we wouldwant is to be competing with hun-dreds of thousands of other ex-pats to sell our homes, in order tomove back to the UK. Would theGovernment real ly want us a l llanding on their doorstep?

Don’t fix it! I READ Leapy’s column in theEuro Weekly News but don’t al-ways agree with what he says.

However, most of the time weare on the same wavelength. Asfor interfering in world politics,my grandparents always said: “Ifit ain’t broke, don’t need fixing!”

And I guess that applies to the

Middle East . Should have lef tthem to their own devices; Blairand Bush have brought this on us.It’s great, really, Blair making mil-lions out of being a warmonger,allegedly. Keep the faith.

Real assetON Tuesday afternoon I cal ledand made an appointment to meetJackie at 9.30am the fol lowingmorning.

She was there exactly at 9.30,greeted us with a big smile, andproceeded to show us our previousadvertising from some time ago.She had done her research reallywell! Instead of a small ad to runfor four weeks, she gently per-suaded us to take out a larger onefor 12 weeks.

She was extremely helpful withadvice on wording and layout, andis easily the most effective salesrep we have met over the years.

She is a real asset to EWN, andit was great to meet someone whoreally cares.

Many thanks,Norman

Get tough!HOW I love reading Leapy Lee’scolumn, I wish more people wereless hypocritical and would saywhat they felt.

With regards to his article aboutISIS, a regiment s imilar to theSelous Scouts should be formed. Ihave just finished reading theirbook, lent to me by a former mem-ber. An amazing read about the themost feared regiment ever.

Forget a l l this sof t ly, sof t lytouch!

Female only?IN this PC non-sexual discrimina-tion age, having female-only car-riages cannot work to their bene-f i t . One can now decide at amoment’s whim whether onewants to be male or female.

They don’t have to wear male orfemale designated clothing, or usemale or female designated names,nor have had any or ongoing gen-der reassignment.

All one has to say if challengedis that they are now to be classedas whatever they deem suitable atthat time.

Simple! Or a male could justwear a burka (carry a lightweightone in the briefcase). Who willdare to challenge that?

SO all of the fun and festivities of summerare almost over. Family and friends, aswonderful as they are to catch up with andentertain these past few months, have final-ly returned home. The kids are set up andready to go back to school… WOOPWOOP!!Now take a DEEP BREATHLet me ask you… How nice will it be to haveyour life back and settle into a routine again?

Time management and developing a dailyroutine to get your fitness and health back ontrack are always the biggest challenges formany people when they are juggling a busylifestyle.

The advice I offer to my clients in this sce-nario is this “ YOU ARE ALL YOU HAVE. Ifyou stop functioning due to illness and poorhealth, be it mental or physical, you will be no

use to yourself or anybody else.” • Tip: Plan your week in advance and book inthe YOU time that is required to get yourselfback on track. If you have taken time out ofthe gym for the past few months, it’s time torenew your goals. Ask your trainer for an as-sessment and a new programme or book insome classes and give yourself a motivationalstarting block. • Tip: If you prefer to train alone at homethat’s fine too, although you may require morediscipline. Be aware that it is hard to switchoff and pull yourself away from other choresand commitments whilst they still surroundyou. The free hour you intended to use foryour workout quickly disappears. If you havean isolated room or area that you can close off,you won’t be so easily distracted. Set up yourworkout kit in this room and have it easily ac-cessible for your workout sessions.• Tip: Aim for three YOU hours per week.You will find the time if it is importantenough to you. Book the time out in yourorganiser or diary, this way it becomes a re-al appointment.

THIS week marks the return toschool for most children in Spain,but rather than youngsters beingstressed at the thought of returningto the classroom, it seems that it’sthe mothers who feel most anxious.

A psychologist said that mothersfeel increased anxiety when termstarts as well as worrying about thewelfare of their child.

In contrast, a UK study showedthat 56 per cent of children agedbetween six and 16, describedthemselves as ‘happy’ or ‘excited’to be going back to school, withseeing friends after the long sum-mer break the biggest reason be-hind this.

A third admitted that the newschool term did not even feature ontheir radar until the week beforethey were due to go back.

I WAS reminded this week of a hugepresence in the lives of many kids in the50’s - Saturday Morning Pictures.

The cinema that served the south ofReading where I was brought up, wasthe grandly named Savoy and hundredsof kids would converge on the placeevery Saturday morning clutching theirsixpence ticket money and another tan-ner to spend on sweets. Our harassedmums were glad to get shot of us for afew hours while they got on with theirhousework or shopping.

The noise inside the cinema was un-believable. Kids hollered at each otheracross the aisles and sweet wrappers,paper planes, and articles of clothingflew across the auditorium. The belea-guered stewards had an impossible taskto keep things in order before the pro-gramme started. It must have been likedealing with a prison riot.

Finally at the appointed time, thelights dimmed, the curtains opened andthe words of our ABC Minors club songappeared on the screen which we noisi-ly dispatched well ahead of the music,anxious to get on with the films.

Our heroes were Flash Gordon - whogot around in a spaceship powered by asparkler Tom Mix; Superman; DickTracey; Tom; Laurel and Hardy, MarvelMan and many others.

Opposite the Savoy was Lester’s thebarbers and it was often a good idea tokill two birds with one stone on a Satur-day when there would always be alengthy queue of small boys waiting forhaircuts, all with the same strict instruc-tion from their mums - short back andsides!

Mr Cooper, one of the three residentbarbers, always had a cigarette danglingfrom his lips as he terrorised his waythrough a multitude of youthful locks.He might as well have been using astrimmer for all the finesse he pos-sessed, and after each session he wouldask me the same question to theamusement of his colleagues.

‘Something for the weekendsir?’ It was a year or two more be-fore I understood what that meant.

THE job of newspapers is to keep usinformed. Tradition has it that they alsoprovide space for readers’ letters andcomment by columnists. Both are freespirits whose views don’t necessarilyreflect editorial opinion. The systemworks.

A trend has been for journalists, sup-posedly working to a code of ethics, toair their prejudices or nudge-nudgewink-wink connections to spin newsstories. For this reason mainstreamnews often finds that they are the news.

An example was when the DailyMail carried a dramatic feature of aRussian naval exercise. Their imagedepicted seaborne assault forces land-ing on the beaches of Mordovia. Thiswas claimed to be practice for an inva-sion of the Baltic States. Slight prob-lem? Mordovia is landlocked and situ-ated 1,800 km from the nearest sea.

Associated Press carried a four col-umn feature on the Chinese threat toWestern interests. The headline reads:

‘China may be using the sea to hide itssubmarines.’ One reader, Sean Seamussays, “I bet the sneaky buggers are hid-ing their mines underground too.” Se-bastian Ronin writes: “and hiding theirjets in the skies I bet.’

British mainstream went ballistic, ifyou will excuse the expression. A Russ-ian submarine, perfectly legitimately,recently bunkered at Ceuta, the Spanishenclave on the Moroccan coast. Onenational newspaper placed Ceuta nearMexico; sigh.

The visit by the electric-diesel pow-ered Kilo Class Russian submarine wasone of many such visits by Russian andother such ships. But, why allow factsto get in the way of a good story.

There appears to be a shocking lackof mainstream media control and ac-countability: US Vice-President JoeBiden told a CBS TV audience: “Whenthe stock market crashed, Franklin DRoosevelt got on the television and did-n’t just talk about the princes of greed,he said, ‘look, here’s what happened.’

I have a problem with this: therewere no TVs in 1929 and HerbertHoover was the U.S. President.

Joe Biden could soon be runningAmerica. You don’t have a problemwith that?

You will, my friends, you will.

JOURNALISTS: Air their prejudices to spin news stories.

WE talk of the Battle ofBritain spirit and rejoice inthe strength of character ofthe British people, in and outof uniform during those terri-ble days.

Then, we believed in ourpoliticians, and even thoughthere was a huge amount ofcensorship, generally peopleunderstood the need whenfacing the rapacious Nazi warmachine.

Churchill had been warn-ing the country for yearsabout the danger of Hitler andMussolini, but the appeasershad taken little notice and likethe French, had not given pri-ority to their military forcesand were to a great extentcaught in a trap of their ownmaking.

When he became PrimeMinister in the spring of1940, he had to try to resolvea difficult situation, whichwas made worse by the lossesat Dunkirk. Despite this, theBritish people rallied aroundits leaders including the Roy-al Family and took everymishap stoically.

Although we are not facinganything like the same vol-ume of attack, there is nodoubt that we are all in dan-ger from extremists in today’sworld, and possible economicturmoil due to events in Syriaand those unfortunates whohave been forced to flee fortheir lives with so little.

Sadly, the current crop ofpoliticians is unlikely to en-gender the same spirit of uni-ty that abounded in 1940.

SUMMER is coming to an end and au-tumn approaches, so have a look atthese useful tips to keep your Spanishhome in top shape.

In the same way as when you buy apet you have to take care of it, and it be-comes your responsibility, the exactsame thing happens when you buy ahouse. Regular home maintenance willsave you a lot of time and money, so iswell worth doing.

There are a lot of things to look outfor, but luckily you can do most of themyourself. The following are a series of

useful things to keep an eye on thiscoming autumn:

A. Cover-up your air conditioningwhen you stop using it. If you have cen-tral air con, cover the outside unit with atarp or plastic covering and secure itwith rope to avoid rain and dirt goinginto the system.

B. Get your heating system readyfor use. Check for draughts in the housecaused by air leaks in windows anddoors. If you have a gas heater makesure ventilation and the system havebeen checked by an engineer. If you

have a fireplace get it serviced at leastonce a year to avoid ash catching fireinside the flue.

C. Check the driveway for cracks. Ifwater goes into cracks on your drive-way, it could freeze and expand causingfurther damage. Seal all visible cracks.

D. Clean drains on terraces or bal-conies. If you have any drains, speciallythe small ones typical of Spanish hous-ing, make sure they are totally clean andfree of dirt as the torrential rain seasonis approaching and they could over-flow.

Keep your property in tip-topcondition as autumn approaches

PROPERTY

THE summer sales are over and I’msure ardent shoppers are alreadylooking forward to the winter salebargains in December.

Having spent some time looking atsummer sale bargains, one of the in-teresting observations I made wasthat even after deducting the big dis-counts offered, the branded clothesand shoes, etc, were far more expen-

sive than the same clothes and shoesthat were unbranded.

Why such a big difference in theprices? I mean a suit is a suit or a pairof shoes is a pair of shoes, right? Ob-viously not, the quality of the materi-al, design and brand value is worth alot more than a non-branded productof less quality, hence the difference.

Some of the same marketing prin-ciples which apply to selling clothesand other products in the sales aresimilar to selling your property.

The recent improvement in proper-ty transactions is mainly driven byforeign property buyers, shopping forluxury villas and apartments.

Basically buyers are taking advan-

tage of the fact that property priceshave hit rock bottom in most regionsof Spain and can only go up in pricein the future, so they want to take ad-vantage of the bargain prices.

The other similarity between sum-mer/winter sales and selling propertyis quality and design; the better con-dition your property is in, the higherthe price you can sell it for.

Remember your home could alsobe sold for a high price like a qualitybranded product.

Buying property in Spain islike shopping in summer salesREMEMBER your home could be sold for a higher or lower price just like a quality branded or unbranded product

SALES OVER: Your property will fetch more if in good condition.

PROPERTY prices in Spain have increased by2.8 per cent during the second three-month peri-od of 2015, according to data revealed on prop-erty statistics by the Registrars College.

During this period, as many as 87,187 hometransactions were listed on the property reg-istries, which represent the second highest resultfor a three-month period over the last ninemonths. If compared with the same period of2014, the increase has reached 11.1 per cent.

In addition, during the past 12 months, a total

of 334,163 homes purchased have been regis-tered, 2.7 per cent more than the data registeredfrom January to December of 2014.

New homes amounted to 18,482 transactions(an 18.5 per cent decrease) and used homesbought and sold registered 1.2 per cent growth(a total of 68,705).

Andalucia was the autonomous communitywith the larger number of purchases and sales (atotal of 17,751) followed by Catalonia (13,228)and the Valencian Community (12,760).

GOING UP: Prices in Spain have risen by 2.8 per cent.


MARIANO RAJOY and Britain’sprime minister David Cameron had acosy love-in recently, discussing UKrelations with the EU amongst othertopics.

Community, which is €37.615 bil-lion in the red is the worst-off.They can thank the pharaonicprojects and the inflated self-es-teem of Eduardo Zaplana andGerardo Camps for that. Possi-bly Camps’ successor AlbertoFabra would have embarkedon equally magnificent pro-jects but he took over whenthe crisis was at its heightand his wings wereclipped.

Spain’s president Mari-ano Rajoy has spentmuch of his four years inoffice complaining aboutthe legacy left by the so-cialists and it will be in-

teresting to see how hereacts to similar rum-

blings from regions gov-

erned by the PP until last May.So far all they have received are promises

of less money and admonitions to stop mak-ing excuses.

Cassandra NashA weekly look- and not entirely impartial reaction - to the Spanish political scene

In good companyEX-PRESIDENT Felipe Gonzalezwas ridiculed by Catalan separatists forsuggesting a negotiated solution to theindependence issue. Gonzalez was alsoridiculed in Venezuela for wanting torepresent political prisoners. So that’sone way of linking Artur Mas andNicolas Maduro, anyway.

When Dave met MarianoCOSY LOVE-IN: Mariano Rajoyand David Cameron discussedUK relations with the EU.

EVER felt that September is the truestart of the New Year - and not Jan-uary? The time when, after the longsummer break, kids return to schooland adults to work. So much so that,when I still lived and worked in theUK, I used to think of the day afterthe August Bank Holiday weekendas ‘back to school for adults.’

September always felt like a newstart because of the change in rou-tine (at least if you were in school orhad kids in school). A time of freshstarts, self-evaluation and, for traveloperators, the inevitable post-holi-day complaints. Like some of the

following that do nothing to dispelthe cliché that we Brits are a nationof whingers!

One woman on a Celebrity Cruiseship demanded a full refund because

she didn’t see any celebrities onboard and said the company wasguilty of ‘false advertising’ due tothe lack of stars. For another on aMediterranean cruise, the sea wastoo loud and the cabins should be‘better sound-proofed against thenoise of the sea.’

Complaints from British touristsabout Spain are particularly telling.For some, there are ‘too many Span-ish people.’ ‘The receptionist speaksSpanish; the food’s Spanish.’ ‘Thestreet signs weren’t in English. Howcan anyone get around?’ ‘There aretoo many foreigners.’ ‘We bought‘Ray-Ban’ sunglasses for €5 from alooky looky man, but they werefake.’ Others complained their holi-days were spoiled because ‘thebeach was too sandy’ and ‘no-onetold us there’d be fish in the sea; thechildren were startled.’ ‘It should beexplained in brochures that the local

store doesn’t sell proper biscuits likecustard creams or ginger nuts andlocal shopkeepers shouldn’t be lazyand close in the afternoons becauseI often needed to buy things during‘siesta’ time.’ ‘Topless sunbathingshould be banned!’ for one angrywife whose ‘holiday was ruined -my husband spent all day oglingwomen.’

Good grief! What’s up with theseguys? I’d be more than happy towait for shops to open late for someregional pastries to eat on that sandybeach. Because it would mean IWAS having a holiday! (Handsomehunks, an extra bonus!)

THE future host of Top Gear, Chris Evans, must have kicked himself for taking his McLaren650S to a car-fest last weekend, as a luckless driver didn’t use his mirrors and reversed a trail-er into it.

According to UK daily The Sun, Evans was about to drive away in his McLaren supercar onMonday morning when a car towing a trailer reversed into it.

Witnesses said the television and radio presenter seemed unruffled by the collision, and left hispassenger to exchange details while he drove off.

Evans is a well-known petrolhead, but is planning to auction off a number of his cars at Good-wood Revival later this month.

It’s not the first time he’s been involved in a prang; in 2005, hecrashed a Ferrari 550 Maranello near his home in Sur-rey, and in 2001, Radio 2 presenter VanessaFeltz reversed her Mini into his Ferrari599 GTO.

Super ‘Ham’ takes theItalian Grand Prix

OVER the last 10 years there hasbeen a steady decline in the num-ber of youngsters entering thesport. It is widely acknowledgedthat, for the modern youth, thegame of golf can appear slow andless dynamic than their favouritemodern video device.

Various initiatives, such as foot-golf where the ball is kicked, havebeen introduced in order to makethe game more appealing, but mosttraditional golfers would dismissthese as transient gimmicks.

For this reason it is gratifying to

see a new project based on a regu-lar golf format and exclusively foryoung players.

It is Campbell Lamont’s Ju-nior Golf Leagues

Recognising the problem andthe long term detrimental effect,

Javier Camuñas from ManisesGolf Club and Manuel Dutor fromForessos Golf Club had severalmeetings during which they dis-cussed the creation of a league forthe younger players giving themthe chance to compete and im-

prove during the year.This concept has become a reali-

ty and already this year Juniorcompetitions are being played inLa Sella Golf, Foressos, Manises,Costa Azahar and Masia de las Es-trellas.

Every Federated Junior player iswelcome to play at a very competi-tive price of 10€ if they belong toany of the clubs taking part in thecompetition or 25€ if they are avisitor to the venue.

Prizes in many categoriesIt is hoped that this format will

stimulate interest in golf and gener-ate a long term association for thejunior players. To aid this therewill be many prizes awarded inseveral categories so that everygrade of player will feel that thereis a goal which is attainable.

These Junior events will be wellpublicised at each of the clubs in-volved and it is hoped that this will

quickly spread so that within ashort period every club in Spain ishosting a series of Junior Leagueevents. In the event that a youngplayer wishes to compete he or shewill be able to enlist at any of theparticipating clubs.

A Grand Final and Prize-GivingThere will be a Grand Final

scheduled for La Sella on Decem-ber 20 and it is hoped that a seniorevent can be held for the support-ing parents.

Thereafter the prize-giving willtake place at the Campbell LamontGolf Store in Ondara.

In order to become a Federatedplayer send your details [email protected].

If you are a member of a clubthat is not yet hosting these events,do be sure to raise the subject withthe general manager and suggest acall to Campbell or an email asabove.

Junior Golf Leagues are now a realityTHESE events will be well publicised at each of the clubs involved in the hope they will spread quickly

JUNIOR GOLF: It is hoped this will stimulate an interest in golf.

THE Pairs Betterball, played at Anoreta onAugust 31, saw first place go to Lyn McAl-lister and Keith Taylor with 39 points. Sec-ond spot was won by Eloise Sanchez andGary Miles on 36 points, and in third placewas Lolina Canete and Brian Lynch on 35.

At Baviera on September 3, the Individ-ual Stableford witnessed the Ladies’ win-ner as Marney Dick, with Hcp 31,

30points, followed in second spot by DianaElliott with Hcp 24, 26 points.

The Men’s competition was won byJohn Vertaness in first place with Hcp 19,38 points, followed by Jim Paton on Hcp28, 32 points. Third place was held by RobNicholson with Hcp 19, 31 points, aheadof Bob Blair in fourth with Hcp 13, 31points.

SMILES ALL ROUND: Winning line-up at Anoreta.

Golf International Nerja SocietyMOTOR RACING - Lastweekend ‘super man’ LewisHamilton won the ItalianGrand Prix at Monza by a dis-tance (25 seconds in fact)from Sebastian Vettel with Fe-lipe Massa third.

Starting on pole for the 11thtime in 2015, this was Hamil-ton’s seventh victory of theyear and his top speed was248 mph. After his team (Mer-cedes) avoided punishment(possible disqualification) re-garding tyre pressure, he’snow 53 points clear in the dri-

ver’s championship from NicoRosberg whose engine simplyblew up! FOOTBALL - Last weekendBlackpool ended their record23-match winless run with a1-0 victory at Scunthorpe...Leyton Orient (battered 4-0)Walsall (beaten 1-0 by Bury)both lost their unbeaten sea-sonal records... Wigan scoredthree goals in the last nineminutes to beat Chesterfield 3-2... Burton Albion lost 2-1 athome to Coventry... and inScotland, Rangers, 5-0 win-ners over Raith Rovers, madeit nine wins on the trot.

CRICKET - After losing thefirst of five ODIs against Aus-tralia at Southampton, Eng-land succumbed in the secondby 64 runs at Lords.

There was a controversialincident during the matchwhen Ben Stokes was given

out for obstructing the field(handling the ball). This is on-ly the eighth time in 3,161limited overs games that abatsman has been given outthis way, Stokes being the firstEnglishman. The only playerever to be dismissed for ob-structing the field in a TestMatch is England’s Len Hut-ton against South Africa atThe Oval in 1951.

The other six, all Asians,given out for ‘obstructing thefield’ are: Ramiz Raja 1987,Mohinder Amarnath 1989, In-zaman-ul-Haq 2006, AdnanAkmal 2012 and MohammadHafeez, Anwar Ali and YusufPathan, all in 2013.

Meanwhile in the CountyChampionship, Yorkshire (241points) lead Middlesex (198)in Division One, while Surreyand Lancashire have been pro-moted from Division Two.

Costa de Almeria

WAYNE Rooney, who holdsthe record for being theyoungest player to ever score agoal for England when he wasjust 17 years and 111 days old,has created a new record as he

reached 50 international goalson September 9, the mostscored by an England player.

The record was fittingly bro-ken at Wembley Stadium – thehome of English football –when he put in a penaltyagainst Switzerland, after scor-

ing another penalty a few daysearlier against San Marino.

Although approached by theRepublic of Ireland manager toplay for them when he was 16,thanks to his Irish grandmoth-er, Rooney made it clear that heconsidered himself ‘Englishthrough and through’ and ofcourse now as captain of theEngland team, which was thefirst to qualify for Euro 2016,he has seen them unbeaten sofar in their qualifying table.

Whilst those he has overtak-en, including Sir Bobby Charl-ton (49 goals), Gary Lineker(48), Jimmy Greaves (44) and

Michael Owen (40) played at atime when generally there wereless international fixtures,Rooney is not yet 30 and hasseveral years ahead of him tobuild on this remarkableachievement.

If he continues until theWorld Cup in Russia in 2018,60 or more goals could be a re-alistic target.

For a man who has been ac-cused of underperforming forEngland he has done enough tosilence his critics and his emo-tions were clear to see just afterhe scored that record-breakinggoal.
