 [email protected] The national statistics institute is working closely with town halls across the province to encourage foreign residents to register and renew when necessary

MALAGA. An article published in SUR in English on 27 January re- ferred to an ‘exodus’ of British residents from the Costa del Sol. The report quoted the most recent statistics available regarding numbers registered on their local town hall’s ‘padrón’, or population census, however the figures generated a number of letters and comments from readers, highlighting the mixed messages that foreign residents have received from their local town halls. Residents who have been in Spain since before 2009 will probably have been told that once they had registered on their local padrón, they did not have to update the information. However others may have been told that they do need Brits enjoying a drink and the good climate in a beach bar on the Costa del Sol. :: SUR to update their details, anything between every two and five years.

In fact, most companies are keen to avoid conflict with workers over this: they don’t want to end up in court trying to justify that they have dismissed someone who has reduced their working hours for a different reason and that there has been no discrimination. To coincide with International Women’s Day, other surveys have been carried out to show that it really is women who in one way or another forfeit progress in their careers to juggle their home and working life. For example, a report by the YoNoRenuncio platform, created by the Club Malasmadres (Bad Mothers Club), came to some significant conclusions after inter- viewing more than 24,000 people. It confirmed that 58% of working mothers forgo something in their professional career when they have children (fewer hours, time off, giving up work altogether), while only six per cent of fathers do the same.

As children we were all amused by the March Hare in Lewis Car- oll’s wonderful book, Alice’s Ad- ventures in Wonderland. What he says about hares in March is true, but that’s only part of it. In spring, most animals seem to go crazy. Some are in advanced pregnancy and some are fanati- cally protective of their young; some are just out of hibernation or torpidity. I was driving across a disused airfield early one March evening when suddenly a sheep appeared from out of the blue and ran head down into the side of the car. The sheep died in- stantly. I went to the nearby pub where the landlord identified the owner. I went to tell him what had happened and made a financial settlement satisfactory to both of us. What had happened in that sheep’s mind no one can tell. It was not the headlights as it was far from dark. Sadly, the sheep was close to lambing and that was a possible answer. It was a dreadful experience. Birds have a springtime ten- dency to fly into car windscreens and lie fluttering on the road usually with a broken neck. Upset- ting though it may be, the kind- est action is to put the poor crea- ture out of its suffering by hit- ting it with a stout stick on the head. Never just drive away. Many wild animals are noctur- nal and get attracted by bright light. Badgers, those adorable animals with their black and white faces are especially vulnerable. When the sun goes down, roads retain some of the little heat of the day and animals seek that heat to their peril. Do keep a watchful eye and keep speed down. However careful you are, accidents do happen and faced with the problem of what to do with an injured animal is a problem as it needs instant action. Never offer food to the animal even if the injury is slight as you will almost certainly offer the wrong food. If you have water aboard (we make a point of always having water and a bowl in the car) give water to the victim. Do not 32 March 10th to 16th 2017 LIFESTYLE SUR IN ENGLISH

Special Olympics Gibraltar’s reputation continues to grow, but it hasn’t always been plain sailing

:: KISHAN VAGHELA GIBRALTAR. “People thought I was mad. They told me it wouldn’t work.” Annie Risso faced more than her fair share of difficulties after introducing Special Olympics to Gibraltar. Risso is currently the National Di- rector for Special Olympics Gibral- tar, which is part of a worldwide organisation that serves athletes with intellectual disabilities. However, back in 1984, Risso was working as a manager of Saint Ber- nadette’s Occupational Centre, an adult daycare centre for people with intellectual disabilities. Worried by the fact that those who attended the centre were largely left to themselves after going home at 4pm, Risso spoke with Sue Young, an occupational therapist in Gibraltar on contract there from Scotland. Risso told Young how much the service users seemed to enjoy the exercises that she organised herself during lunchtimes, which led her to be introduced to Special Olym- Special Olympics Gibraltar on their return from the World Summer Games in Los Angeles two years ago. :: SUR pics by the therapist.

Some of them have not even flown or seen snow before, so it’ll be an amazing experience for them,” Risso stated. The alpine skiing will see a familiar face to many Gibraltarians return to compete in a different field. Sam- uel Santos won gold for Gibraltar in the World Summer Games in Los Angeles two years ago in open water swimming, and his achievement didn’t go unnoticed.
