The USA has agreed to takeradioactive Palomares topsoilout of the province and trans-port it back to Nevada, to astorage facility just outside ofLas Vegas.

The US Energy Depart-ment sent the Spanish Nu-clear Commission a clean-upplan back in July, which theSpanish are prepared to ac-cept to finally put an end tothe problem.

Fifty thousand cubic metresof contaminated topsoil willbe taken to a military installa-tion in the Nevada Desertnorth of Las Vegas.

The contamination occurredin January 1966 when a B-52G bomber and a tanker col-lided during mid-air refuellingover the Mediterranean.

Three of the B-52s four hy-drogen bombs fell over Palo-mares and non-nuclear explo-sives in two bombs detonatedon impact. The fourth bombwas recovered at sea, 10weeks later.

Soil, water, air and cropswere monitored and no-onehas ever fallen ill as a resultalthough Spains Investiga-tion, Environment and Tech-nology Investigation Centre

(Ciemat) has detected bothplutonium and americium stillin the ground.

For years the Spanish Gov-ernment has unsuccessfullyasked the US to remove the

contaminated topsoil. Thereare signs of a change of heart,Spanish sources close to thenegotiations claimed: Thingsare moving and the feeling isgood.

OPINIONS are divided aboutMar de Plastico set in fictionalAlmeria location, Campoamar-go.

The Antena 3 series is set ina town dominated by a plasticsea of greenhouses and poly-

It was filmed in El Ejido, LaMojonera, Nijar and Vicar and

the first episode attracted al-most five million viewers andhad a 29.2 per cent audienceshare. There is already talk of asecond series.

Nevertheless, El Ejido May-or Francisco Gongora is af-

I dont believe there is anAlmeriense who likes this se-ries, he said. Im no expertbut I think its bad.

Catalonia elections fueluncertainty in SpainSEPARATISTS say they now have a mandate to declare independence

WHAT was supposed to be a simpleelection for the local parliament in Cat-alonia appeared in reality to be a mas-sive test for the Spanish government.With a population of 5.5 million voters,the election held on September 27 couldhave far-reaching effects on Spain itself.

The pro-independence parties havewon 72 seats out of 135 and althoughthey only received 1.9 million votes outof the four million cast, they considerthat this gives them a mandate to declareindependence from Spain.

The central government has said thatit intends to fight any declaration of in-

dependence through the courts and theEU has indicated that Catalonia wouldnot be granted immediate membership,would have to leave the Eurozone andwould have to apply for membership ofSchengen.

The pro-independence response isthat within 18 months, Catalonia will beready to declare independence and havethe entire necessary infrastructure inplace.

It does seem a pipe-dream but theSpanish elections have to be held by theend of 2015 and it is a brave govern-ment that completely ignores so manyvotes which could easily be lost if it be-comes too belligerent.

RAMBLA DE LAS CRUCES is the water-course that caused so much havoc in Adralast month.

Torrential rain during the September 7storms caused a flash flood, turning thetowns principal streets into torrents half-a-metre deep that inundated ground floorsand garages, smashed shop windows andswept along vehicles and anything in theirpath.

The towns emergency and municipal

services worked flat out to re-establish nor-mality, answering dozens of calls for help.An office was later set up to enable 400home and business owners affected by theflood to apply for official help.

The culprit was the Rambla and nowAdra Town Hall also wants official help.

It will ask the Junta de Andalucia to addit to the 24 watercourses, streams and riversthat need urgent attention under its flood-prevention programme. Instead Rambla deLas Cruces is classified as a Level D risk,the lowest category of all.

The Rambla needs channelling insideand outside the town to prevent a repetitionof last months flooding, said Adras mayor,Manuel Cortes.

The Junta de Andalucia would be morethan justified in recognising and includingthe Rambla de Las Cruces amongst its pri-orities in preventing floods after seeing theconsequences of the September rains.

The town hall also intends to ask the ad-ministration to clean and channel the bed ofthe River Adra and repair its banks through-out its course.

THE owners of 150 Albanchezhomes no longer have water.

The properties in Los Llanosand Los Angeles are ownedmainly by UK and Belgian resi-dents who unwittingly boughtproperties that flouted planningregulations.

The constructor who builtmost of the homes had a watercontract, explained Ana IsabelPadilla, Albanchez mayor sincelast Mays municipal elections.

This supply was cut off afterthe town hall found the connec-tion was unauthorised and themeter was not registered in any-ones name, Padilla said.

The residents have arrangedfor a private supply, but themayor stressed that the town

hall will do everything withinits power to help.

But we cant provide wa-ter for properties without abuilding permit or a First Oc-cupation Licence, she said,adding the town hall wasconsulting its legal advisers

to see what could be done.Los Llanos and Los Angeles

will eventually be regularisedin the new Urban DevelopmentPlan (PGOU). Despite thisthere is no short-term solutionfor these elderly residents, saidlawyer Gerardo Vazquez.


FURTHERING its commit-ment to nature tourism, Mo-jacar Council has completeda new route for walkers.

It runs from Marina de laTorre, along the River Aguasthen up to Huertas de las Par-ras where it connects with theexisting Las Huertas path toreach Mojacar Old Town.

The 3.5-kilometre route isan easy one and suitable forboth children and adults.Plans for the path were dis-cussed during meetings be-tween the town hall and localhotels who are keen to pro-mote nature tourism duringthe low season. The 5,500cost was met by the town halland is Mojacars third walk-ing route in addition to theexisting Mena-Macenas andLas Huertas paths.

Sports tourism is steadilyincreasing as foreign cyclingand motorcycling teamsmake Mojacar their wintertraining centre due to its

good weather, tarmac roadsand the diversity of the ter-rain.

We are continually look-ing for new ways for tourists

to can enjoy the old town, thescenery and everything elsethat Mojacar has to offer,Emmanuel Agero, Tourismcouncillor stated.

Car dealerships caught cheating!HAVE you bought a new car in Spain between2006 and 2013? You may be in with a chance toget some of your hard-earned cash back as the Na-tional Markets and Competition Commission (CN-MC) has found 147 dealerships guilty of over-charging buyers.

The dealerships, selling well-known brands in-cluding Opel, Toyota, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Audi,Seat, Land Rover, Citroen, Mitsubishi, BMW,Chevrolet, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Fiat, AlfaRomeo, Lancia, Ford, Honda, Kia, Mazda, Mer-cedes, Nissan, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvoand Lexus vehicles, have been fined more than170 million by the CNMC but have kept quietabout the fact that buyers may be eligible to claimdamages.

According to OCU consumers association,those who bought cars from the 147 dealers missedout on discounts due to price-pacts which went di-rectly against consumer rights and free competi-tion, and they can take their case to court and de-mand between 750 and 1,500 in damages.

OCU, a private, independent non-profitconsumers association, has set up a system(http://www.ocu.org/coches/nc/calculadora/concesionarios) to help users to see if they havebeen affected and will be helping members to taketheir cases to court.

GADORS mayor expressedsatisfaction at the likelihoodof the Alfquife (Granada)mines reopening.

This would impact posi-tively on the economy andemployment in the Marque-sado area in Granada wherethe mines are located, saidEugenio Gonzalvez. Never-theless, the mayor did not

conceal his concern aboutthe effect on Gador if, as theMinas de Alquife has an-nounced, the iron ore istransported by rail as far asthe town.

From here it would go byroad to the ports of Almeriaand Carboneras. Heavy lor-ries crossing Gador wouldcreate a situation bringingdrawbacks as well as bene-fits, Gonzalvez said.

The crossroads at the in-tersection with the Carreterade la Alpujarra is particularlyworrying and would need aroundabout, he added.

Neither Minas de Alquifenor the Junta de Andalucia re-gional government has con-tacted the town hall, Gonza-lvez added.We are preparedto cooperate but we want toshare in the advantages as wellas the disadvantages.

JUST one month ago, Leo was

a normal two-year-old boy, en-joying summer holidays on thebeach near his home in Vera,Almeria, with his British moth-er Karen and older sister Sofia.

Leo gradually started to ap-pear under the weather andwas occasionally sick, so hisparents took him, time andagain, to the doctors, only tobe told he had various bugsand typical childhood ailmentsand not to worry.

Now, his family are standingguard as little Leo the Lion, asfriends and relatives are callingthe little fighter, battles illnessat Torrecardenas Hospital.

Having undergone emer-gency surgery to remove anine by 8.5cm brain tumour,which luckily turned out notto be cancerous, Leo later de-veloped septicaemia and was

in and out of intensive careas he fought for his life.

Support for the brave youngboy and his family is springingup locally and from afar, with asponsored event planned inManchester in October andFunkymonkeys in Mojacar will

be hosting a Halloween partywith some of the proceeds go-ing to Leo.

MARIA ASCENSION LOPEZ was sum-monsed by an Almeria judge earlier thisweek on defamation charges.

A lawsuit was brought against Lopez by anun who is also her adoptive fathers niece.Lopez insists that she was taken at birth fromher mother and the nun, who signed theadoption papers, and pushed it through whenthe couple were in their 60s.

Now 51, Lopez discovered when she waseight that she was adopted and bought for

250,000 pesetas - 1,500 in todays moneyand a considerable amount in 1964.

The nun started legal proceedings after hername appeared in print as a result of investi-gations into Spains stolen babies by Argen-tinian judge Maria Servini.

Newborns were allegedly taken at birthfrom mothers who were either unmarried orwomen with large families but scant educa-tion, who were unlikely to question hospitalstaff.

CONTRARY to early mediareports, five problem homes inZurgena are legal.

Setting the record straight,Zurgena Town Hall announcedthat the courts supported thecorporations view regardingthe properties. Neither will lo-cal politicians, town hall offi-cials or the developers face

prosecution.The Almeria high court con-

firmed that the houses occupya parcel of land previously cat-egorised for building in El Cu-cador. The court rejected theProsecution Departments ap-peal against a November 2014criminal court ruling that thehouses were legally built on

development land and need notbe demolished.

The high court ruling citedthe Andalucias Urban Devel-opment law (LOUA) andprovincial directives catalogu-ing the El Cucador parcel asbuilding land endowed with as-phalted roads, electricity, waterand drainage.

THE Romans generally got there first and theAlcazaba is no exception.

Excavations at the foot of the Moorishmonument overlooking Almeria City have un-covered Roman remains.

When archaeologists made trial excavationsat Meson Gitano on the slopes of the Alcazabathey expected relevant findings. The dig pre-ceded municipal plans to convert the caves atthe site of the now-vanished Meson Gitano

hotel into a municipal social centre in one ofthe citys most privileged locations.

They were not disappointed when 12th and13th century Moorish houses were uncoveredduring the first round of excavations and theywere not let down when they made moresoundings two months ago.

The excavations continue and the archaeol-ogists have already located a tower and sec-tion of wall, probably dating from the Third orFourth Century AD, near the Alcazaba en-trance.

ALMERIA Province PSOE so-cialist party opted for total re-newal when compiling its list ofgeneral election candidates.

In Spain, the electorate votesfor a regional party list, not indi-vidual candidates. The larger thenumber of each partys votes, thebetter the chance for names on

that list of securing a seat in par-liament or the senate. Big guns,always placed at the top, arepractically guaranteed a seat.

After consulting party mem-bers, Almeria PSOE has now an-nounced its candidates for theDecember election with SoniaFerrer, the Juntas delegate toAlmeria, heading the list for par-liament. Juan Carlos Perez Navas

is again the partys number onefor the senate. The other candi-dates are drawn from all over theprovince and have experience inmunicipal politics.

The officer in charge wasabsent and the captain - thena lieutenant - left, while themen waited in the bomb dis-posal workshop where theydecided to deactivate the re-maining shells.

The military courts inquiry

has already established that itis common practice to useout-of-date shells in deactiva-tion exercises, which ischeaper than using a special-ist company.

Investigators found that thesergeant and a warrant officerfirst removed the fuse fromthe 105-millimetre shell.They then appear to havefreed its jammed primer witha screwdriver and pliers, pro-ducing a spark that set off the

explosion. They and anotherwarrant officer were killedand two other men injured.

The accusation maintainsthat the shells should nothave been taken to the work-shop and the captain shouldhave ensured that they werereturned. The defence lawyerfor the captain, who faces atwo-year sentence, claimedthat the expired shells werefaulty, classed as dangerousand needed to be deactivated.


EIGHT 20-year-olds holi-daying in Mojacar werefaced with an expense theyhadnt allowed for on leav-ing their Sevilla homes.

Things did not get off to agood start when the girls ar-rived to find that the apart-ment, which they booked onthe Internet, bore no resem-blance to the photographsthey had seen.

Cutting their losses, theydecided to rent a terracedtownhouse and decided notto go out that night.

Matters did not improvewhen two Local Police offi-cers arrived on theirdoorstep because neighbourshad complained about thenoise they were making.

They had breached a localby-law that the local hospi-tality industry dubs the law

of silence and, as the groupof friends complained after-wards, they received nowarning or prior request toquieten things down. In-stead, there was a 601 fine,

which came as a blow, al-though they assumed thatthis would be split betweenthe eight of them.

Their equanimity wasshort-lived as they soon dis-

covered that each girl hadbeen fined, adding 4,808to their holiday budget.Their parents are now seek-ing legal advice, they re-vealed to the media.

2) Your appetite for riskOf course, no risk often means no

returns. Most of us recognise that forsome of our assets, exposure to marketmovements gives us a better chance ofoutperforming inflation andproducing real returns over themedium to long term.

However, the starting point has tobe to obtain a clear and objective

assessment of your appetite for risk.Otherwise the result will be aninvestment portfolio that is notsuitable for you.

These days there are some verysophisticated ways of evaluating yourrisk appetite, involving a combinationof psychometric assessments andconsideration of your other assets andthe aims you have for you and yourfamily.

3) Matching your risk profile to theoptimum portfolio

Every set of investments can beforecast to display a given amplitude ofrisk. Low amplitude, less risk but alsolower likely returns. A higheramplitude of risk brings greaterpotential returns. The key is ensuringyour investment portfolio matchesyour attitude to risk.

Without such a sound assessmentbeing then matched to the optimumblend of investments, you could find

yourself with a portfolio that is toorisky or cautious for you.

You need to establish the invest-ment portfolio that suits you best.

4) DiversificationThe next critical component is to

ensure your investments are suitablydiversified so you are not over-exposedto any given asset type, country, sectoror stock.

By spreading across different assettypes and markets, you give yourportfolio the chance to producepositive returns over time withoutbeing vulnerable to any single area orstock under-performing.

This sound investment approachshould be extended by one furtherstep; a multi-manager approach,where several different fund managersare blended together and can reduceyour reliance on one investmentmanager making the right decisions inall market conditions.

Diversification done properly canreduce your exposure to risk.

5) ReviewFinally, it is important to review

your portfolio regularly. As asset valuesrise and fall, your portfolio can shiftaway from the one designed to matchyour risk profile and objectives. Youmay need to make adjustments to re-establish your original weighting, andconsider if any of your circumstanceshave changed. Regular rebalancinghelps control risk and can have apositive effect on performance.

Five key principles which help youhave the peace of mind to sleep atnight, while your investments andinvestment managers work to yourrequirements. Take specialist,personalised advice.

There are five key aspects that youneed to address to ensure you obtainthe optimum investment portfolio tosuit you and your particular situation:-

1) Tax considerations - choosingthe right tax efficient structure

A tax efficient structure - such as apension plan or ISA in the UK - cankeep most of your investments in oneplace and provide protection to helpyou legitimately avoid paying toomuch tax. You want to ensure that asmuch of your hard-earned wealth aspossible is placed in the most suitablestructure to limit your tax liabilities.

Here in Spain with a foreign taxsystem and various changes and taxrises over recent years, it is crucial totake advice from someone who is alsowell-versed in the nuances of theSpanish taxation system and how itcan impact your wealth.

Otherwise, you may happen uponan investment portfolio that producesexcellent medium to long termreturns, only to see them slashed bySpanish taxes - levies that could havebeen avoided or at least significantlyreduced.

Wealth Creation And Management FiveKey Elements For Success

EARLIER this year, Chelsea Greene lefthome in Alhaurin El Grande, Malaga, andembarked on a journey to the UK to a na-tionwide audition for a new girlband.

Office Girls UK was being promoted by EllisRich, OBE, the former boss of Simon Cowell,who previously owned the biggest music publish-er company in Europe. His partner, Marvin How-ell, had promoted the likes of Britney Spears,Christina Aguilera, Blondie, Lady Gaga, CelineDion, and Enrique Iglesias, so she knew thiscould be her big opportunity.

The management stated that Chelsea was greatbut they could not

take her on as they had already chosen the girlsfor the band. Chelsea was very disappointed; nev-ertheless, when she returned to Spain, she was of-fered a leading role in a musical revue with Med-playa Hotels in Spain, which she accepted.

Fate soon took a hand, however, when Chelseathen received an email from Rich and Howelltelling her that one of the girls had left and couldshe fly back immediately to the UK and replaceher. She was released from her commitments inSpain and made her way back to the UK to awaither destiny.

Within two days of joining the Office GirlsUK, they were performing at the YouTube Con-

vention at Londons ExCel Centre, promotingtheir recently released single, Dirty Work.

The response was unbelievable and within daysthey had 25,000 views. They continued the pro-motion with flashmobs at Liverpool Street Sta-tion, Compton Street, Carnaby Street and the Not-ting Hill Carnival. They were going from strengthto strength.

Unfortunately, the girls social media accountswere blocked, which the police said was a hatecrime. This resulted in the band losing all follow-ers on YouTube, including big celebrity namessuch as Perez Hilton, Labyrinth and Alan Carr.

In a recent interview with Chelsea, who de-

scribes herself as spontaneous, quirky and fun,she stated that the longest she had ever lived awayfrom home was six years, and that she has a veryclose relationship with her mum, whom she usedto sing with. Chelsea said that if she were to be-come famous and tour the world, she would inviteher mum to go with her.

Chelsea is an all-rounder; she loves all types ofsport, but especially skiing, which she does withher mum. When talking to Chelseas mum,Michele, she said Chelsea is really independent,she cooks, she cleans and always gives a helpinghand around the house. However, when askedabout Chelseas bedroom, that was a different sto-ry. Michele remarked: There are times whenChelsea hangs her clothes on the floor, some-thing all girls can relate to!


Chelsea Greene, AlhaurinEl Grandes pop queen!

Chelsea is a very down-toearth-girl who loves to give

back to charities. She has beenperforming in care homes her

whole life and animals have avery special place in her heart.

When asking Chelsea where she sawherself in two years, she replied:

Touring the world and in the charts. Butonce I have made enough money, I wouldlove to give some to animal charities.

Chelsea has three rescue dogs calledFreddy, Bruno and Shiva.

The quirky singer, whose favourite bandis Queen, has a unique style and admits thatshe buys her clothes from charity shops.

The Office Girls UK have come fightingback and now have all their accounts up

and running again. But, they are desperatefor more followers to make their dreamcome true. Fans have described them as be-ing the new Spice Girls as they are allknown for standing up for Womens Rightsand equality in the workplace.

Chelsea was educated at St Anthonys In-ternational College, Mijas, after beinghome-schooled by her entertainer parents.They had travelled the world and Chelseawas known as the Worlds YoungestSinging Baby before settling down in Al-haurin El Grande.

THE Bank of Spain has ex-pressed fears that the current sit-uation with the funding of statepensions may lead to a negativeposition within two years.

The overall cost has risen by 3per cent and with the averagepension being in the region of890 per month, the total annualcost is now estimated at 8.3billion.

AS September sees London, NewYork, Milan and Paris all host glam-orous fashion week events - maga-zines, newspapers and television areall awash with images of tiny, buttall figures wearing the latest offer-ings from top designers.

The usual celebrity fashionistashave also been photographed sit-ting in the front rows, looking oh-so-impressed with the shows, whilstclutching their over-priced designerhandbags.

Yes, it may be exciting to look atall the new inspirations makingtheir way onto the catwalk this year- many of us do love to see what therich and famous are sporting in thename of high fashion - but it can al-so be a little depressing as most ofus cannot afford so much as one de-

signer item, never mind an entireoutfit!

But remember, dressing welldoesnt mean having to buy out-rageously expensive gear. Infact, much of what is displayedon the catwalk would look com-

pletely out of place in everyday life,unless you happen to

work in the Vogue offices, that is!So dont feel pressured to go outand buy a new wardrobe for a newseason. All you need to do is makea few quick tweaks and smart pur-chases and its possible to transition

some of your favourite pieces ofclothing from summer to autumn.

Use what you already have inyour wardrobe, but simply makesome alterations. Continue wearingyour favourite summer tops, butjust add a nice scarf on top to keepout the chil l as cooler days ap-proach. Or, similarly, make a sum-mer outfit autumn-appropriate bythrowing a blazer on top of it. Fash-ionable blazers, which sometimeseven look Chanel-esque, can befound for next to nothing in mosthigh street stores like H&M.

Tights are your best friend whenit comes to creating a new outfitwithout breaking the bank. So manyof your so-called summer dresses -and shorts - can be worn again andagain by adding a simple pair oftights.

And remember, online stores likewww.asos.com deliver free to Spainand have a great selection of afford-able fashion that wont mean havingto remortgage your house!

THINGS arent so sweet in the con-fectionery market after a court casebetween Lindt and Haribo over the

rights to a Golden Bear which Haribolost.

Haribo claimed the Lindt version ofits chocolate bear wrapped in goldcoloured paper was a violation of its

Gold Bear logo as it had been mak-ing gummy bear sweets since the1960s and the Lindt bear only ap-peared in 2011.

The matter had already gone

through the lower court and a court ofappeal but the German Federal Courthas ruled that Lindts bear was neithera violation of Haribos trademark noran imitation of its fruit gum sweets.

BUSINESS breakfasts were a novelty to mewhen first invited (or else) to one such inShrewsbury. I had taken up a sales post withthe Australian-based Red Telephone Company,which was very much performance related.

The basic concept was that during breakfasteveryone at the table would be bright-eyed andbushy-tailed; fail. Of fresh mind, we sales per-sonnel could bond, brainstorm, learn from oth-ers then hit the ground running. That was theidea. Sales seminars and such get-togethersdo pay dividends.

One of the failings of the business commu-nity is that business owners work in isolation.Winging it, there is no one to turn to for ad-vice except gestors, solicitors, suppliers and,equally inept, the family. As a consequencethe SME manager is going to get it wrongmore often than is the company man. He has

no one to bounce ideas off, no experiencedmentors.

This, in my experience, is a self-inflictedfailing. Occasionally, a business networkinggroup sets up. Subscriptions tend to be extor-tionate and the criteria onerous. I recall one

such that charged a far higher membership feethan any of the established UK business asso-ciations. Yet, I doubt the benefits of member-ship were 1 per cent of organisations such asthe Federation of Master Builders, CORGI,and the Guild of Master Craftsmen.

Upon retirement in 2008 I relocated toSpain. I had my first International BusinessNetworking Group meeting in the diary before

I even arrived. It was a great success and whynot? I had much experience to back me up.There were no fees, no criteria. All it offeredat that early stage was an opportunity for smallbusiness owners to meet and relax with others,share information and provide mutual support.

Interest over time waned. It was difficult tobreathe life into the dying horse. There, is inthe Costa community, an I dont need anyoneto teach me how to run my business mindset.Business networking works well in the UK;there is no reason why it shouldnt do so here,if you want it to.

Business breakfast and networking groupswork well in the UK but what about here?

GETTING TOGETHER: Morning is the perfect time to bond and brainstorm.

I THINK many Saudis are like spoilt childrenwith too much pocket money. They manufac-ture absolutely zilch and produce nothing but asubstance that lies under their desert waste-lands. They consider themselves favourites ofAllah for having been bestowed this natural,and extremely lucrative, natural resource.

Having spent some eight years in their coun-try, I think I can attest to their arrogance andhypocrisy. It came as no surprise to me thatthey completely blanked refugees fleeing frompersecution in neighbouring countries; heavenforbid they allow their privileged existence tobe overrun by smelly peasants!

It was also completely typical that they in-stead offered to pay for 200 new mosques to beerected in Germany. They also lie about or sup-press anything that may be detrimental to theirsuperior existence. When I was in the country,there was an attempted coup by one of the roy-al family. On one road during the event, I over-

took at least 100 tanks and mobilised guns.What little information did escape was quicklydismissed as a military exercise.

When slavery was supposedly brought to anend, with a great flourish of generosity, theybuilt them all a town out in the desert. Whatthey really wanted was them all in one place.Not long after, they allegedly sent in fighterplanes and bombed it out of existence.

On another occasion there was an attemptedtakeover of Mecca by a rival religious group.This was put down to a handful of zealots. Infact, it took two weeks to quell, and a doctorfriend of mine told me that his military hospitalhad treated at least 600 gunshot victims.

Despite demanding mosques to be builteverywhere, they would never allow anythingeven vaguely resembling a church to be built intheir kingdom. If they say some 700 souls per-ished this week on the road to Medina, you canguarantee the figure was probably double.

No, it would appear that the Saudis are liv-ing proof that in this world, money can buyjust about anything.

BLESSED with black gold, Saudi Arabia thinks it is a law unto itself

OIL RICH: Saudi Arabia believes it is a favourite of Allah.

THE Rugby World Cup is under wayand it is refreshing to see a game thatstill embodies the real meaning ofsportsmanship.

True, the players spend 80 minutesknocking seven bells out of each other,but generally there is no malicious in-tent displayed, only the desire to dowhatever it takes to achieve afavourable result, with disappointedlosers congratulating their opponentsand the victors applauding the opposi-tion off the pitch.

Broken noses and fractured fingersare no obstacle either, with injured par-ties receiving rapid on-site attentionfrom the medics before continuing onwith the game. Blood is the most com-mon bodily fluid on a rugby pitch, notthe snot and phlegm prevalent in a foot-ball match.

At the time of writing there has been

one major upset and a few other surpris-es. Doubtless there will be more, butwhat has come across loud and clear isthe love of the game and the pride play-ers display in wearing a shirt in theircountrys colours. The awe and pridethat the Uruguayans exhibited whenthey ran out on to the Twickenham pitchfor the first time was marvellous.

Contrast this with the video displayedacross social media last week of theprofessional footballer who rolledaround the pitch in agony after an op-posing player playfully flicked his ear.

Then you have the annoying affecta-tion of many footballers when theycome on to the pitch, by crossing them-selves before looking to heaven.

Do they honestly believe God iswatching them, wearing his Arsenal/Liverpool/Man City football jersey andsaying Get in there my son? Besideseveryone knows, God supports Reading.

The clenched fist was once the exclu-sive trademark of the black powermovement at the 1968 Olympics, butthese days it seems to be the accept-ed victory salute of often grimfaced victors in athletics, tennisand other sports. What happened tothe simple joy of a job well done?

WHISTLE-BLOWERS in the Soviet Unioncould be assured of summary execution or along period in the Gulag. Here in the West dissi-dents make good their escape, seek sanctuary inforeign embassies, or, like Chelsea Manningface 35-years in a harsh prison.

Prominent critic of Western policy SaddamHussein was ousted and hanged. SeeminglySyrian President Assad faces brutal deathfor his rejection of Western demands.Had the Sovietised unelectable EU po-litical elite taken the advice of the oust-ed Libyan leader then this self-inflictedrefugee calamity would have beenavoided.

In March 2011, Gaddafi counselledthat without a unified and stable Libyathere would be no one to control count-less migrants from Africa and the Mid-dle East from fleeing to Europe. Heunderstood that millions, not thousandswould flood Europe should Tripoli fall.

There are millions who could come tothe Mediterranean to cross to France andItaly, and Libya plays a role in security in the

Mediterranean, he told the France 24 televisionstation.

Gaddafis son Saif , once considered theLibyan heir apparent and now on death rowawaiting execution, echoed the sentiment in thesame interview. Libya may become the Somaliaof North Africa, of the Mediterranean. You willsee the pirates in Sicily, in Crete, in Lampedusa.You will see millions of illegal immigrants. Theterror will be next door, he noted.

Another quote, attributed to Gaddafi,paints a vivid picture of what the popu-lar national leader expected to happen:The Mediterranean will become a seaof chaos.

Where was mainstream media, sup-posedly the impartial eyes and ears of

their European readers? Perhaps toobusy following orders from the po-litically elite as were their coun-terparts in the former SovietBloc.

No one listened. Instead, theWest launched a military inter-vention to oust Gaddafi . Thecountry is torn apart by rival fac-t ions as NATO invaded Iraq,Afghanistan and possibly soonSyria. It is not a failure of under-standing as some claim; i t ap-pears to be the base treachery ofEurope for which there wil ldoubtless be a high price to pay.

WE in the newspaper indus-try can sometimes be ac-cused of being a little stuckin our ways, but at EuroWeekly News, we not onlycare about our readers andadvertisers but also aboutthe environment.

All of the paper that wepurchase - and if you thinkof the amount needed toproduce six editions everyweek of every year - is eco-logically sound, comingfrom reclaimed sourceswhich is the reason that thebackground is not purewhite.

Thats why we can sayquite clearly that in thenewspaper business, whiteisnt right and if you seeany publication printed onpure white paper, then youneed to consider whetherthey are interested in the en-vironment or if they justhave money to burn (whichalso causes pollution).

The fact is that the use ofpaper in all forms doescause an enormous strain onour dwindling resources andunless you are one of thosecompanies that plants threetrees for every one cutdown, the logical and in-deed obvious thing to do isto re-use pulped paper.

It may not be quite aspretty to look at, but it cer-tainly gives us a sense ofdoing our bit for the worldand perhaps allows the rain-forests to remain just a littlelonger.

I HAVE already told you that autumn is myfavourite time of the year. It runs long and canwell endure past Christmas. It also seems thatevery village in southern Spain somehow has gotit right in selecting a pueblo patron Saint whosebirthday came in the fall of the year to facilitatevillage celebrations during the harvest times.

These communal ferias are in fact a reward forworking hard during the year so not too discern-ing of an eye is cast upon the shenanigans of thelocal inhabitants. It is truly their time to act a littleout of character, have fun and kick up their heels.

Although the activities appear to be sponta-neous and unorganised they follow strict ancientcustoms, sometimes centuries old tied both to thechurch and the welfare of the community.

Mass and other church pertinent services initi-ate the week. Then election of kings and queensfor the duration of the celebrations. Selectionsstrategically made amongst the proletariat to keepthe village under control via common roots and

language. Possibly horse riding or local sportingactivities leading up to the grand culmination offestivities - the toro. In olden times it was thetowns wealthiest personages on horseback lanc-ing a bull in the village square. These characterslater created their own followers, donned pinksocks like the nobility and soon evolved intotoreo, which got horribly mislabelled by visitingtourists and their guides who started calling thespectacle BULLFIGHTING; something it aintby the rules of encounter of the ritual. Followingthe death of the bull therein blossomed a frolick-ing fiesta kept afloat by rivers of wine.

The surrounding countryside would bring intheir produce and complements to the meals. Itwas a good chance for courtship or at least meet-ing friends or relatives that hadnt been seen formonths and possibly years. In by-gone years eventhe local hermits always appeared coming downfrom their hide-away in the mountain to eat anddrink a little. Lots of the new arrivals come; sonsand daughters returning to their roots.

The wine continued to be splashed about;mishaps and the fun were spontaneous. In by-gone years no one got drunk and stumbled about.Dignity had its decorums and they were never vi-olated, most certainly in a situation whereuponthe entire village would notice you.
