Disabled parking is being abused

HALF of the disabled parking permits used in Malaga are illegal or are being used improperly, according to the provincial federation of associations for the disabled.

As a result, a new model for issuing disabled parking permits may come into effect.

Malaga has a total of 1,200 disabled parking places but improper use and the use of false parking permits has significantly reduced the amount of spaces available.

Co-ordinator of the provincial federation, Juan Francisco Melgar, said the figure of 50 per cent was ‘scandalous’, and that the system of renewing and issuing permits must be looked at.

“It will be tedious, but the present cards have a period of 10 years,” he said. “In that time, circumstances can change and hence permits are misused; people die and others use the permits. There are cases that we know of first-hand,” Melgar added.

Targeting Chinese tourists TOURISM chiefs in Andalucía and Malaga are targeting the Chinese market.

They have identified the country as having huge potential and are aiming to make Malaga the gateway into Spain for Chinese tourists.

Now representatives from the Junta de Andalucia regional government and Malaga City

Council are in China for the International Travel Mart conference to sell the region.

Councillor for Tourism Rafael Rodríguez said that the Chinese market has the best potential for a rise in tourism over the next 10 years. In 2013 19,200 Chinese visited Andalucia for a total of 118,000 overnight stays, a relatively small number

compared with other nationalities. But Rodriguez said that with patience and perseverance the vast potential of the Chinese market could be tapped. In 2012 the Chinese made 83 million trips abroad spending an estimated €80 billion. It is that sort of spending that Rodriguez wants to attract to Spain.

Honouring the Fallen on Remembrance Sunday

I

T was moving to see the commemorations in London over the weekend to mark Remembrance Sunday and the centenary of the start of the First World War. The striking display of ceramic poppies spilling from the Tower of London in a sea of red was no better image to remind us of all those brave souls who shed blood and gave their lives in both World Wars.

A welcome decision has been made to leave part of the 800,000 poppies on display until the end of November so that people can pay their respects.

Falling poppies were projected on to Big Ben, illuminating the skyline in another moving tribute to those soldiers and civilians who fought.

Sometimes it can be difficult for expatriates living in Spain not to

be in the UK for special occasions, as last Sunday certainly was.

But with so many expatriates living in all areas of Spain, Remembrance Sunday did not pass unmarked here.

There were wreath-laying ceremonies and prayer services throughout the length and breadth of Spain, so that expatriates could pay their own homage to the men and women who gave their lives in the wars.

While we choose to live in sunny Spain and adopt new customs and ways of life from our Spanish friends, we will always retain our own customs and close links with home, especially on important days like Remembrance Sunday.

And on Sunday, as Britain honoured those who fought in two World Wars, so too did the proud British community in their home away from home.

Brussels looks at Spanish tax law HELP may be at hand from Brussels for expatriates who say Spain has no right to demand disclosure of their overseas assets.

On Tuesday November 11, Euro MPs in Brussels asked for investigations by the European Commission to continue following a debate on three complaints from British, French and Belgian citizens, which were delivered to the European Parliament.

More than 750 signatures against the controversial Spanish law that forces residents to declare assets owned in other countries worth more than €50,000, were also presented.

European citizens residing in Spain had been grumbling about

the law as many consider it to be discriminatory and feel Hacienda (Spanish tax office) officials insist on knowing more about their finances than spouses do.

Petitioners’ lawyers Alejandro del Campo and Anthony Valcke pointed out during the debate that many people are reconsidering their decision to live in Spain due to the law, which is estimated to affect 2.1 million expatriates.

The petitioners claimed that the law was discriminatory as Spanish and European taxpayers are treated differently, especially as fines - if declarations are not made or incorrect information is given - are much higher for those who own assets abroad.

They also declared that Spanish law limits free movement of people and capital and expressed doubts regarding data protection and privacy.

Meanwhile, Spanish Euro MPs Gabriel Mato and Soledad Cabezon maintained that there were good reasons behind the law.

During a forum on residential tourism held at the end of 2013, Jose Antonio Muñoz Lopez, economist and member of the Andalucian Economy Analysis team, reported that the sector moves almost €3.5 billion on the Costa del Sol and sustains 37,853 jobs.

There were worries that residential tourism could be hit by the current law, which could affect jobs.

The figure - equivalent to a hotel occupancy rate of 84.5 per cent shows that the town where mass tourism on the Costa first started in the 1960s is still the market leader.

A&E strike off for time being CARLOS HAYA Hospital in Malaga rushed to take on temporary nurses to fill gaps in the A&E department after nurses decided to go on strike.

Following a meeting on Thursday November 6 at which casualty nurses agreed to call a strike in protest over long-term lack of personnel, hospital manager Jose Luis Doña promised to take on extra staff. The hospital employed 10 nurses and three nursing assistants for the casualty department, although contracts were temporary and only last until November 14.

The strike was called off although nursing union Satse’s representatives insisted that if the situation did not improve and the management did not keep its promises they would reconsider their position.

The boy replied that he hadn’t been to school for two years and in fact was not even registered with a school.

Mijas Council reported that the officers contacted the boy’s 80-year-old grandmother – who has custody of the child – to inform her. Local Police officers then informed the juvenile courts and Social Services following the established plan of action for absenteeism and drug consumption.

The Local Police’s School Absenteeism Scheme works to ensure that children of school-age should be at school. During school hours, officers pay special attention to parks and areas around schools.

Dog pound bosses deny mistreatment LOS BARRIOS dog pound management company, Control Zoosanitario, denied accusations of mistreatment following a recent inspection by the Guardia Civil.

The company insisted that their work collecting and housing abandoned animals fully met requirements with all permits and documents in

order. The Guardia Civil made the inspection following a citizen’s report, and said in an official note that the company had been mistreating animals and had not followed rules on the amount of time animals remained in the pound before being put down.

Control Zoosanitario denied all accusations and explained at that moment,

247 dogs, 60 cats and two horses were at the centre and available for adoption, some of them having been there for more than a year and a half.

They added that the dog which provoked the report by the citizen had been put down due to being abandoned in extremely bad health by an owner who had refused to keep it.

Threat to cinema jobs LOS BARRIOS branch of Cinesa group has announced that the cinema in Bahia Plaza shopping centre is to close on November 18.

Local mayor Jorge Romero met with cinema workers and Inmaculada Ortega, Comisiones Obreras trade union regional secretary, on Thursday November 6 to discuss the situation.

Romero offered the workers his

support and told them that the council intended to negotiate with the company that takes over the installations to avoid the 28 cinema workers losing their jobs.

The mayor ended by explaining that the town hall had a good relationship with the shopping centre owners, who had confirmed that the cinema will continue to run under new management.

Awa is five years old and she had been sponsored before.

Sadly, the sponsorship ended and her family could not afford to send her to school any more.

In the mornings, when the other children from her compound were going to school, Awa would cry because she wanted to go too.

Ebrahima is three years old and comes from a very poor family.

He was one of the children who would stand outside the classes as his parents could not afford the fees.

“We will pay €40 per child, per year, to sponsor Awa and Ebrahima. This will cover their school fees, uniforms and also support their families. It is very humbling to see how such a little amount of money can change these children’s lives forever,” said EmmaMaria and Alejandro.

Hola Credito helps a family survive sudden financial flood

Welcome to the weekly news from Hola Credito, Spain’s leading short-term lender. In our weekly column we look at different financial products that Hola Credito offers - this week - Hola Credito plugs a leak in a family’s finances.

EVEN families who are strict about saving for ‘a rainy day’ can get into financial trouble when the unexpected happens. An unpredicted water bill nearly pushed one Malaga family into serious trouble until Hola Credito came to their aid.

“All of our water bills are for roughly the same amount, so when we got one for more than €7,000 I wasn’t that worried because I thought there was an error on the bill,” said the client. “But the water company disagreed. In fact, there was a massive leak between our house and the road, and according to them we had to pay for the water and repairs, or risk being cut off.”

The family and the water company went to Court to sort out who was responsible for the bill and repairs, but in the meantime the family decided to get a short-term loan from Hola Credito to pay for their immediate costs.

“Although we have some savings, it

was not enough to comfortably cover all of our costs, so I decided to ask Hola Credito if I could raise some funds using gold bullion which was just sitting in a family bank vault,” the client said.

“The loan was agreed within hours, and then we could concentrate on winning the court case.”

Puerto Banus based Hola Credito (www.holacredito.com) operates throughout the whole of Spain, and calculates interest on a daily basis.

Because of its low overheads it can offer very competitive interest rates and there are no extra fees.

Hola Credito accepts jewellery, highend watches, precious metals and stones, and yachts and cars as security for short-term loans, and uses the best couriers to move assets around the whole of Spain. Once the assets are received the loan is available immediately through a bank transfer, or if preferred by cash in hand.

Prison for father who hit teacher A FATHER who punched his daughter’s teacher has been sentenced to two years and four months in prison by the Number Four Provincial Criminal Court in Malaga.

The incident happened in October 2012, when the English language teacher at Vicente Espinel secondary school in Malaga City told a first year student off for behaving badly.

The girl supposedly went home and told her father that the teacher had shaken her vigorously. The father and three family members went to the school to demand an explanation.

According to the victim’s lawyer, the teacher and other members of staff spoke to the family but asked them

to leave due to their aggressive attitude. When the teacher turned to open the door the accused punched him in the back, knocking him to the floor and leaving him unconscious for a few minutes.

The attack resulted in broken teeth, a bruised ear, which has caused a 20 per cent hearing loss, and broken glasses.

Following the attack, the teacher was moved by the Education Department to an adult education centre, which also meant his wages were reduced.

Meanwhile, the attacker’s daughter stayed at school as usual.

The situation led to anxiety problems for the victim who needed two years of psychiatric

treatment and eventually took early retirement after teaching for 43 years. This resulted in his pension being reduced.

Maria Gracia del Amo – Provincial Secretary of ANPE – explained that while the union was satisfied with the result of the case as it acknowledged the teacher as a public authority figure, it was also sad that the teacher had been forced to fight his battle alone as the Education Delegation took no steps to help him.

Appeals will be made by both parties as the teacher’s lawyer considers the €1,000 awarded in damages to be insufficient and intends to ask for €6,000 in damages and €35,000 for loss of wages caused by the attack.

STENCH BUSTING: Machinery to remove bad smells at work in Estepona.

Sweeter smelling BAD smells, which Estepona locals have been complaining about for years, are finally being dealt with in a pioneer project.

Work to eliminate the smell coming from drains in the area of Calle Real, Malaga and Caridad – one of the busiest areas of the town – began by cleaning the waste and rainwater drains for the first time ever.

New drainpipes are being installed and the existing pipes examined with cameras

to detect and repair any faults.

Special new valves will be placed inside the drains by the company Hidralia to avoid odours reaching the streets. The system – known as Drenolor – will replace current sealing systems, which do not stop smells getting out.

Work should reach completion within a few weeks and if the system gives good results the council intends to extend it to further areas.

Royal couple comfort bus crash mourners KING FELIPE VI and Queen Letizia attended the funeral for the 14 victims of Spain’s deadliest bus crash in more than a decade.

The royal couple comforted family members and friends at the service in the village of Bullas, a town left devastated by the horrific crash that occurred late last Saturday night.

Some of the mourners had lost several relatives in the accident.

The bus, carrying more than 50 passengers from the small village, veered off the road and plunged into a ravine, killing 10 of them instantly.

Another victim died a few hours later and three more died in hospital the following day. Fifteen are still being treated, two of whom are said to be in a critical condition.

The bus was returning from a religious ceremony in Madrid and was just 50 kilometres from the village of Bullas, near Murcia, when the accident occurred. Among the dead was the parish priest of Bullas, Miguel Conesa, who was aged 36.

DARK REMINDER: Recent rains sent minds back to 1989.

The day the floods began RECENT wet and windy weather on the Costa del Sol has brought to mind memories of the 1989 Malaga floods, for which tomorrow (Friday) marks the 25th anniversary.

On November 14, 1989, one of the most dramatic chapters of recent history began in the province of Malaga. At 1pm the skies blackened and the heavens began to open.

Cars and homes were swept away, thousands of people were stuck on industrial estates for hours, entire neighbourhoods disappeared under water and mud, and in many areas residents

had to rely on battery-powered radios for information as water and electricity supplies were lost when the Guadalhorce River burst its banks due to the torrential rain and hail.

Roads and railways were closed leaving many areas – especially villages in the Guadalhorce Valley – cut off. Sea-fronts along the coast were destroyed by waves and a total of eight people died during 25 days of storms many remember as the worst period of weather in their lives.

Malaga was declared a catastrophe zone by the Spanish Government on December 1, 1989.

Car thieves detained A LUXURY car trafficking gang has been caught by the Guardia Civil. The

vehicles - mainly Toyotas and Mercedes - were stolen in Malaga Province and

altered in Spain before being taken to Eastern European countries and sold on.

During the operation known as Micarro - the Belarusian leader of the group and a Ukranian member were arrested in Estepona.

Cars were stolen in Malaga Province and hidden in garages in urbanisations in Marbella and Estepona for which gang members had obtained copies of the remote controls.

The gang obtained false papers, number-plates and even chassis number stickers, which were usually placed in highly visible areas of the cars to avoid suspicion.

Members of the gang then drove the cars to Russia and Belarus for sale.

Bridge will be part of coast path THERE are plans afoot for the construction of a 260metre-long wooden bridge across the Guadalhorce River for pedestrian and cycle use.

Once the bridge is built, the river will no longer present a physical barrier on the Malaga coast for people on foot or two wheels.

It will form part of a 180-kilometre coastal pathway which aims to connect Balcon de Europa in Nerja with La Duquesa port in Manilva within five years.

Existing paths and sea-front promenades cover 75 per cent of the coast leaving just 40 kilometres to be built.

Twenty of these are currently under construction in VelezMalaga, Rincon de la Victoria, Benalmadena, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella and Estepona.

Malaga leads in emigration figures THE number of Spaniards moving abroad is on the rise, according to the government. A total of 8,712 Andalucians emigrated in 2013, 2,498 of them from Malaga.

These figures are notably higher than for 2012, when 6,331 Andalucians decided to move abroad.

Altogether 79,306 Spanish people emigrated in last year, almost 40 per cent more than in 2012.

Last April, a man reported to the police that he had lost his rucksack while riding a bicycle on Avenida Manuel Agustin Heredia

Road to be done at last DRIVING from Elviria to the La Mairena area of Ojen is soon to be a much easier task thanks to funds to improve the road.

Elias Bendodo, head of Malaga Provincial Council, announced on Saturday November 8 that €500,000 is to be spent on improving the Marbella road.

Work will be carried out on a 5.3 kilometre stretch which is regularly used by school buses in order to improve safety conditions. The surface will be renewed and painted and the roadside areas cleared of bushes and rubbish.

Officers found it matched a lost property report and left a message on the owner’s answer phone.

An officer declared that the owner phoned about a month afterwards, which was when he noticed something was missing.

The accused admitted to Malaga Provincial Court that he had taken the iPad from a cupboard in the police station to use the internet and watch television but had never seen the rucksack.

He denied taking the iPad to the Canary Islands on holiday or using it at home.

Yet the judge did not believe him and decided there was sufficient evidence that the accused took the rucksack and its contents for his personal use.

Cantoria demolitions THE Junta de Andalucia regional government has announced the demolition of two properties in the Las Terreras area of Cantoria in a move that has been criticised by AUAN (Abusos Urbanisticos Almanzora No).

Two other homes were demolished in 2013, reduced to rubble in less than 40 minutes by bulldozers. Cantoria Town Hall later accused the Junta of acting illegally, claiming the demolitions were not accompanied by the necessary licence or technical demolition plans.

The Junta responded that the licence was unnecessary in order to comply with judicial resolutions. All the homes were sold to British families after completion and after utilities had been connected.

The demolition order has been criticised by AUAN who are instrumental in fighting for homeowner rights in

families who will not have to pay capital gains tax, in the case of losing their homes.

Hiking fun

Almeria. Alejandro Navarro, the lawyer representing the property owners, has announced plans to appeal on humanitarian grounds. The victims have been left homeless and in more than one case, lost everything. Navarro stated that, according to the Spanish press , the property owners were now living with family or renting, having returned to UK. He planned to fight to get the demolition delayed until the homeowners had been paid compensation, a total value of €789,000.

AUAN and SOHA representing homeowners from Almeria and Malaga, are calling for a change in the Criminal Code to prevent ‘social and economic harm’ to purchasers in good faith.

Cantoria Town Hall has laid the blame for the illegalities with the former mayor, Pedro Llamas.

THE President of the Balearic Islands and the Minister of Development signed a cooperation agreement earmarking €13.52 million in financial aid for property leases and restoration, accessibility and energy efficiency.

Winter closure SON SANT JOAN Airport announced that it would close some of its facilities given the decline in winter flights. One of the areas being closed is Module A, which commonly handles passengers from non-Schengen countries.

STAT OF WEEK SPAIN’S consumer confidence index fell 3.52 per cent to 74.2 points last month. Family finances, employment prospects and the general economic situation were to blame, said the Centro de Investigaciones Sociologicas.

BIMBO has been synonymous with cut bread , not an attractive and compliant airhead, since 1964.

Sales plummeted by almost half after 2008 when the crisis changed spending habits. “The fall in disposable income meant that people ate less and ate differently,” said Ana Varela, Marketing lecturer at the ESADE

BREAD: Suffered during crisis.

Zara millionaire still top of the heap AMANCIO ORTEGA is still Spain’s richest man.

The founder of Inditex and the Zara fashion label sits atop a €46 billion fortune according to the Spanish edition of Forbes magazine.

Rafael del Pino and his brothers, majority shareholders in construction multinational Ferrovial take second position on the Spanish list with €6.4 billion. In 2013 the Del Pino brothers were ranked third after Juan Roig, but this year the positions are reversed, with the Mercadona president and his €6 billion fortune slipping a notch.

The magazine’s calculations are based on declared business assets alone

without taking personal assets into account, explained Forbes editor Andres Rodriguez.

The Spanish list is dominated by businessmen and there are no sporting figures or scientists amongst the top 100.

Although former heartthrob Julio Iglesias was ranked 47th, his presence was due to real estate investments, not his singing career.

Between them, the 100 richest Spaniards are worth €164.42 billion, the equivalent of 15.6 per cent of Spain’s GDP. While not untouched by the economic crisis, few have much to grumble about as their fortunes increased by 9.2 per cent over the last year.

B

usiness extra

Set for the rush COURIER service SEUR will engage another 1,300 workers over Christmas.

The company handles an average 200,000 items a day but expects this to rise to 500,000 on key dates like December 17.

Fine for sharing THE Uber car-share venture in Barcelona must pay 56 fines of €4,000 for operating without a licence.

Twenty-eight were imposed on the company and 28 on the drivers themselves.

Outlook still brightish for 2015 THE European Commission (EC) adjusted its 2014 growth predictions for Spain by one-tenth to 1.2 per cent.

Expectations for next year were reduced from 2.1 per cent to 1.7 per cent prompted in part by ‘domestic problems,’ but also by the eurozone slowdown although Spain’s GDP growth is still set to accelerate.

This would be supported by employment growth and easier financing conditions, said Pierre Moscovici, the EU Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs.

Brussels foresaw weak growth for the eurozone and the EU overall, with a GDP increase of 1.3 per cent for this year and 0.8 per cent in 2015.

NACHO FLICKR

Bimbo is determined not to be toast business school.

Consumers also turned to the supermarkets’ own-label products, a tendency that ate into the profits of all food manufacturers but whose impact was even more pronounced for the industrial bakers. Bread and confectionery could be produced more cheaply in plants that were more modern than Bimbo’s and

at lower costs, Varela explained.

Unsurprisingly, supermarket own-labels now account for 65 per cent of industrial bakery.

Bimbo’s Mexico-based mother company Grupo Bimbo intends to redress the balance with a new €70 million plant in Guadalajara Province. This will cut costs and restore its market share, sources revealed.

It’s too soon to panic over sanctions THE new European Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker, on November 5, loftily declares that Western imposed sanctions imposed on Russia are likely to remain at the same level.

Brace! Brace! The 28 nations making up the European Union are set to lose €50 billion in trade with Russia during 2015. Even if sanctions are lifted most cannot be recovered. The Russians have many alternative sources, whilst EU Bloc traders have few options.

Some struggling economies will suffer more than will others. Nevertheless, as a noted American economist points out, “One more sanction and the European Union is back in recession.”

How will businesses tackle this self-

strangulation? Many will tighten their belts and hope to survive whilst others will look for alternative markets. I propose the latter as being the best course. Why? Businesses have become either complacent or mulishly refuse to move

with the times. I was reminded of this when browsing one of Latvia’s biggest country fairs.

On sale were Baltic State manufactured products restricted to home markets, yet would find eager buyers outside their own country. Given added novelty effect and the fact that many larger nations like the UK, Germany, France and the Low Countries have more disposable income, the opportunities for Baltic product sales abroad are phenomenal.

When pointing this out I was dismissed as naïve. Really? I asked the owners of two switched on businesses that were successfully exporting their products, how they were doing. Both were

manufacturing Baltic related goods and explained that half their produce was being sold abroad; mostly Germany and the United States. They conceded that their businesses would be unlikely to survive without sales abroad. They owed their success to their internet marketing.

A Swedish business friend of mine who runs a business networking association in Riga agreed. Businesses are mired in inertia. Is it any different in Spain? Many Spanish-made products, again because of their exotic value, would find eager buyers in the rest of Europe.

A pipe dream? Hardly. Many Spanish entrepreneurs have grown super rich by looking for streets paved with gold. Why not you too?

FINANCE, BUSINESS & LEGAL

The least all business owners can do is make their customers feel special Loose change A look at finance for females

Jane Plunkett jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com

HOW many times have you have walked into a café or shop only to be greeted by a sour grin and an obviously irritated expel of air asking what you want?

This deplorable kind of customer service is a pet hate of mine. I have worked in a café. I have worked in a shop too, and I know that it is not that difficult a job. The least an employee - or owner for that matter - can do, is be polite and welcoming.

So often, obviously untrained staff completely ignore customers, while they chat and

laugh with colleagues. It’s an infuriating situation when you are waiting at the till, with your hard-earned money in hand, ready to buy something from their business.

Failing to make a customer feel welcome and worthy is a fundamental fault of any business that leads to massive losses, yet so many businesses still continue to put themselves above their customers.

Proper training of staff is key to success, be it a dog walker or a nursery school or a supermarket chain.

Receiving good service is a delight. So it’s essential to employ staff who are enthusiastic and who

CUSTOMER SERVICE: Proper staff training is the key. actually know what they’re talking about.

This will put a smile on a customer’s face and make them WANT to come back and spend more money.

Modern customers are smart - if they’re not

happy they will pop off to a competitor quicker than you can say, ‘where are you going?’

Remember the businesses that boast great success often have one thing in common great customer service.

A tried and tested method of keeping customers happy is rewarding them for their loyalty. Make customers feel special and give them a reason to come back by offering a voucher, a loyalty discount card or special pricing.

People love a discount.

For any businesses or small business owners out there… please train staff to know what they are there for and actually attend to customers.

While for all you customers, if businesses continue to treat you like dirt, then please… take your money elsewhere.

SIP Card no good in Tenerife?

Q. Having just read your article ‘Worried Over Medical Bills,’ I question the You and the statement that the medical card is valid Law in Spain in all of Spain.

By David Searl My wife and I have held a SIP card for five years and every year we spend five or six months in Tenerife. Each time we try to use the SIP card there we are told they do not accept it. Could you clarify?

K.A. (Costa Blanca) A. Tenerife rejects your SIP card because it is not a Spanish Social Security card. In the Valencian region your health services are provided by the Valencian health service and in Andalucia, they are delivered by the Servicio Andaluz de Salud. They are all part of the national system but they are individually administered, often with some differences.

The SIP card is one of these differences. The SIP stands for Sistema de Información Poblacional, (System of Information regarding the Population). Every resident of the Valencian region is supposed to have one. Even a newborn baby gets a SIP. Basically, it is a census. The SIP card

OPINION & COMMENT

Different address NORA JOHNSON wrote about ‘Millionaire’s row,’ The Bishops Avenue in Hampstead.

I had my first baby there in October 1953, in what had been Gracie Fields house, ‘Towers.’

Shirley Bassey also gave birth to her first baby there in October 1954, before she became famous.

The rich residents of The Bishops Avenue (among them Lord Sainsbury) didn’t like this ‘common mill girl’ living there and made it known. So when Gracie left, she gave the house to the Government with the proviso it was used as a maternity hospital: “See how they like ambulances going up and down in the night!”

The house was just as Gracie left it, with ballerina wallpaper, a piano in the corner, a central staircase and a balcony all round the first floor. The bathroom was huge, black-tiled and the bath stood on a dais in the middle of the room.

On the third day after giving birth we were moved three doors along by ambulance to another mansion, ‘Green Trees.’ The owner had tried three times to burn it down for insurance but the insurance company realised, so he lost the house and the money!

It had a tennis court and swimming pool (not that we were allowed to use them, of course).

It is sad to read about the Avenue now.

Not golden JUDGING from his reaction to noise, Michael Hill has clearly not resided in Spain for long.

Otherwise he would have understood by now that the Spanish concept of silence differs radically from that of the British.

The Brits associate silence with peace and tranquillity but to the Spanish it represents death and sadness, hence the love of noise and life! They say you can attend a fiesta somewhere in Spain every day of the year and the Spanish appetite in general for having a noisy time can be difficult to comprehend particularly when you are trying to make yourself understood in a restaurant!

As a former bar-owner myself I can assure you that it’s never the Spanish who make the complaints about noise: it is almost invariably the Brits.

Now a grandparent myself, I feel this is my chance to change our political system once again and perhaps give my own working-class grandchildren a chance to have a party that may, hopefully, stand up and represent their views in the future.

Yes I know Nigel Farage isn’t working class, but he does appear to answer a direct question and certainly appears to know a little more about living in the real world.

Just think about the mayhem they could cause when his party wins a few more seats: no more boring politics for us! They certainly couldn’t do any worse than the current lot.

the proposed EU referendum will no doubt go ahead in 2017, if not earlier.

The merits of giving such a vote to the British public are in themselves debatable and of some concern. The issue is highly complex, beyond the knowledge of the average ‘Joe Public,’ and most commentary about the EU is to be found in the British tabloid press, known to be profoundly anti-EU and xenophobic.

Any vote given to the public on this issue would unfortunately be a vote bound by ignorance rather than informed commentary of the workings of the EU.

If the referendum goes ahead, it will be a miracle if the British public votes ‘yes’ to continued EU membership, especially in the face of David Cameron’s current rhetoric and paranoid fear of losing votes to the upstart and ultra-rightwing UKIP. To the best of my knowledge the government has not indicated what it will do to protect the 1.4m or so registered British residents in other EU states. Other EU citizens working and living in the UK must have similar concerns.

If no lobbying is done now, waiting for the vote to take place could be too late and we could see our rights eroded overnight.

I have already written to the British prime minister and to the other two mainstream British political party headquarters expressing my concerns.

Everyone who cares about their future residence should do likewise. Let the politicians really know of your concerns.

Complacency and doing nothing achieve nothing.

Jeremy Cordon Newby, Perin (Murcia)

I OWN an apartment in a complex in Benalmadena and was outraged to learn because it’s not my main residence I have to pay a lot more money for collections of bins and other services.

Surely this is not right? Or was the information I received wrong?

If true, is this in accordance with EU law?

Andrew James, Hengoed (South Wales)

Job done I WAS charmed not long ago when I saw a young man stop in the street and greet a very old lady. A little unsteady on her feet and with a wheeled walking aid, she was out with someone who looked as though she must be her carer. This very good-looking young man kissed her on both cheeks. He was probably a relative, as all the Spanish residents in our small town turn out to be related to each other.

The elderly woman asked him how he was and he replied he had found work. “Work!” she exclaimed. “That’s wonderful!”

“I know,” he replied. “My parents are over the moon.”

And so, at a distance, was I. But what a sign of the times!

Edward William Insurance Services expand horizons

By Pete Woodall EDWARD WILLIAM INSURANCE SERVICES have done rather well for themselves over the last 15 years. Their policy ‘any boat, any waters, any use, anywhere’ combined with good customer service has built them a steadily increasing customer base in marine insurance both here in Spain and overseas. So much so they have recently expanded into general insurance cover.

The key to Edward William Insurance Services’s popularity is that the team are native English speakers, most fluent in Spanish, providing the best of both worlds. Insurance in English for the customer and competent to deal with any paperwork in Spanish.

It’s sensible to say when you are paying for an insurance service it’s nice to understand

GENERAL COVER: Whether on land or at sea, home or abroad, insurance to suit your needs. what you’re getting or even not getting. The policies come in English with Spanish translations. No more (not quite sure if this is a free-phone number or not) calls to who knows where,

never to speak with the same person even twice.

It’s personal service, just one telephone number to the same office, to speak to the same team. The firm are proud of their

supposedly old-fashioned ways and should you have to make a claim, they see it as part of their job to ensure everyone gets a fair deal and the payout is appropriate and prompt.

So what’s on offer? Obviously to be this successful, premiums have to be competitive, which they are, but also appropriate.

This is so important, the right insurance for the right situation.

As well as the successful boat insurance already mentioned, Edward William Insurance Services now provide first-class motor vehicle, travel, pet, business and household insurance. You get to choose and discuss what is right for you, third party only or fully comprehensive, long or short term travel insurance and of course good cover for your pets.

Whatever your insurance needs are on land or at sea, at home or abroad, feel free to call Edward William Insurance Services on 952 476 090, quotes are usually immediate and it costs very little to ask.

OPINION & COMMENT

Back in the old country...

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

I

HAVE just paid £8 for four coffees! Yep, back in the old Motherland for a couple of weeks.

That was the price in the café at Blackpool train station. The mind boggles.

With these sorts of prices one thing is becoming perfectly clear (as our politicians are so fond of spouting) I’m gonna have to put up my fees!

Been a pretty eventful week so far. I’m delighted to say my prostate biopsy result came through as clear. Had to wait more than a month for the results. To say it was a long month is something of an understatement. It’s an odd sort of limbo-land when the future is unknown and certainly undecided. Thankfully I was one of the lucky

MINI TOUR: Blackpool is one of Leapy’s destinations back in UK. ones. My heart goes out to those whose results are not so favourable.

Another event this week was my daughter Charlene’s announcement that she was finally going to tie the knot with her handsome Mallorcan partner, Miguel. Not before time. Mucha suerte to you both. It’s all done differently

these days. They've bought the house, had a beautiful baby boy, saved their money and now they’re getting married. I dunno, in my day that procedure was reversed.

That’s progress, I suppose.

All that has been rounded off by coming over to the auld country for a mini tour. Last night I had the pleasure of

working with Amen Corner.

Now there’s a blast from the past! I am now on a train back to Blackpool, as I missed the Preston stop on the way down.

Duh! One thing that does become apparent over here is the politeness of those who serve the public. Rail staff, hotel staff, etc, are all most obliging and helpful. A trait

that is somewhat lacking in some public servants in good old España where the dreaded shoulder shrug is prominent in most problem situations. Ah well, at least it’s warmer. It’s freezing over here.

Just been informed that I needn’t have got the train back to Preston and could have caught my connection at Manchester. Gawd! Am now on my way back to Manchester Piccadilly and feel it may be wiser to discontinue this missive and concentrate on where I’m supposed to be going!

Just as a matter of interest, waiting for my train, which incidentally goes on to Huddersfield, there were only three white faces out of some 50 or 60 waiting passengers.

Just an observation, that’s all.

Have a good week. Try and do a favour or two. And, whatever ya do, always keep the faith.

Honesty pays in the media Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

I

T would be a knee-jerk comment to describe the Euro Weekly News success story as being down to the hard work and dedication of its staff. Successful or not, newspaper hubs are no place for the faint-hearted; the answer has to lie elsewhere.

Could it be that mainstream media has lost touch with their readership?

Newspapers and broadcasters that once commanded enormous respect have lost public confidence. Today, mainstream media are megaphones for political and corporate interests.

A career in journalism once carried a kudos similar to that enjoyed by healthcare professionals and the Civil Service. Now, even household name columnists are regarded as little more than hacks.

In truth there has never been a truly free media: A J Liebling, a highly respected journalist for the New Yorker, remarked: “Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one.”

Newspaper proprietors set the rules and we scribblers abide by them. Here in Spain I am privileged to be encouraged to challenge orthodoxy. I do so. However, many articles by truly great columnists will never be printed in mainstream media.

In the US, 77 per cent of the population distrust corporate TV news. More Americans get their news from online sources rather than from conventional media.

European mistrust is likely to be higher.

It wasn’t always like that. Until a few decades ago, queues formed at newsstands

WHISTLE-BLOWER: Julian Assange had to take refuge in a foreign embassy.

eagerly awaiting the day’s hot-off-thepress news. Great newspapers, like the Chicago Herald, Daily Express, and Paris Soir, published uncut articles by the then German leader, Adolph Hitler, Italy’s Benito Mussolini, Spain’s General Franco and other controversial figures.

Would mainstream media today allow space to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the presidents of Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia or leaders of Novorussia or Belarus?

Interestingly, those who express the most outrage at today’s media spin and control are insider journalists.

Outraged at restrictions placed on them, they express themselves

eloquently, not in mainstream media but in freer media.

Whatever spin media puts on it there should be outrage that whistle-blowers like Edward Snowden, Julian Assange and other dissidents seek sanctuary abroad or take refuge in foreign embassies; in cases like that of ex-serviceman Chelsea Manning, jailed for years.

Whatever happened to the Voltaire principle: “I disapprove of what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it.” Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and Wall Street Journal editor, describes journalists as ‘presstitutes’.

Former CIA Director William Colby: “The CIA owns everyone of any significance in the major media.”

Western mainstream media readership collapses as its cynical readership evaporates. In Britain, 52 corporate interest publications collapsed in 2009 alone.

Despite this gloomy outlook, truly independent, more trusted, localised media add to their readership and advertising revenue. Newspapers can survive and thrive but will do so only when once again independent of political and corporate interests.

Antony Wolfson - As he sings, you can feel the temperature rising S

ITTING at the Alanda Club Marbella watching Antony perform, transforms even the most sceptical audience member into an instant fan.

His unique blend of music that connects with people’s hearts and souls, combined with his ability to change from powerful romantic candlelight ballads to a dinner dance chassé in just a few beats, is little more than genius.

The little boy who used to jump down the stairs to his sister’s forced applause whilst singing Blue Suede Shoes or In the Ghetto, now performs six times a week in front of hundreds of residents and tourists who delight in his weekly appearances.

Antony’s incredible journey which has taken him from the top of the stairs to the top of the charts began in London, where he played in pubs and club for his local community.

Within a few years, he recorded a cover album, which sold on iTunes and Amazon but it wasn’t until 2009 that his career flourished when he recorded the song ‘As Long As I.’ The original hit

ANTONY: His music connnects with people’s hearts and souls. soared up the Internet charts to become the Christmas No 1.

After the record-buying public had shown their appreciation, it was soon the turn of

those slightly more in ‘the know.’ Elvis’s high voice singer, Kathy Westmoreland hailed Antony’s voice ‘beautiful’ and Joe Esposito who was one of Elvis Presley’s closest friends happened to hear Antony as he sound-checked for a show in Australia.

Joe was so impressed with what he heard that he asked Antony to be a special guest at an Elvis night in Melbourne.

But it is not the history or the achievements that keep the audience rapt, it is the intimacy and shyness that Antony brings to the stage and how it enables his audience to enjoy the concept of a shared experience. The professionalism of this artiste runs from his commercial understanding to his performance, apparent in the high standard of venues along the coast in which he performs on a regular basis.

This is one guy not to be missed!

Antony, who is represented by his new agent, Len Cobrin from Bojangles Music Management is currently working on a new single with music producer, Tim Knight.

Guaranteed income for life

By Mark Davies at The Fry Group UARANTEED lifetime income, able to support lifestyle in retirement is a basic requirement, yet most of us are or will be relying on savings to supplement pensions with no guarantees.

The wealthy should have sufficient to meet their needs, however, even substantial capital sums erode over time by low interest rates, inflation and/or poor investments.

Annuities can guarantee income but they are expensive, offer no investment upside, give no capital access and normally die with the annuitant.

The good news is that there are products, with associated investor protections, that provide guaranteed growth rate and additional investment growth potential until income is taken. When/if the income is

Income can start immediately or when required. Capital, both

before and after taking income is invested in equities, bonds and cash allocated based on individual needs and attitude to risk. Resulting investment growth will increase for life the level of guaranteed income

designed for early encashment so should be regarded as a long-term commitment.

Most products are effective for UK Inheritance Tax reduction if held within a discounted gift settlement (DGS). A DGS is accepted by HMRC as reducing UK Inheritance Tax liabilities.

Importantly unlike most gifts/trusts, which must exclude the giver from any benefit to be effective for UK IHT reductions, the guaranteed income can still be paid to the giver for their lifetime.

To obtain the favourable IHT treatment access to capital is not available, however as the structure is treated by HMRC in the same way as a type of annuity, this is taxed very favourably in Spain.

Please note this is a précis of the key features and independent financial advice should always be taken.

It’s up to us to choose whether the glass of champagne is half full, or half empty Viva Marbella...

With

Nicole King of Mi Marbella radio BELIEF knows no limits; it is the embodiment of infinity. So when we truly believe in something, amazing things, even miracles, can and will happen.

Having a specific goal is the key, focusing on what we truly like rather than what we think we need.

Far too often we limit ourselves to what we think we should do or what we think we can do, or is expected of us, rather than contemplate what truly makes us happy. But when we find our passion and dare to dream, big or small, and focus on our goals with positive intent, the most unexpected and unimaginable

opportunities can arise to help make our dreams come true.

Life is a one-way ticket and there are no returns, so it’s up to us to make it special and memorable.

Every day is about change and the unknown can be overwhelming and daunting but despair and fear are the most limiting and debilitating of our senses; they paralyse us and create confusion.

It’s in these moments that a good look in the face of reality can also be a lifesaver. If you feel that a situation is that bad then there’s nothing to lose by deciding to believe that the outcome will be good. At worst, nothing will have changed.

But life is about change and change is good; it’s the law of

ONE-WAY TICKET: So we should make life special. nature. When we decide to believe in, have passion for and feel gratitude for every moment,

we will see that as the plot unfolds along the way these changes are necessary to bring us closer to what we wished for; that’s why it’s important to be careful what we wish for and to be specific.

Our thoughts become actions and bring repercussions.

If we loose ourselves to negative feelings, these will have consequences too.

Although many situations are out of control, their outcome is more up to us than we can possibly imagine.

How we face them is paramount; it’s not what happens that matters, it’s how we deal with it that defines us.

Although we ‘write the play’ of our own lives and have to accept that we cannot write the role of others, however much we try or would like to, we can choose to

be the good guy! It’s entirely up to us to choose between the Yin or the Yang, the yea or the nay, the good or the bad, the I can or I can not, and understand that the glass of water (or champagne) will always be half full or half empty – it’s up to us to make that choice.

Life is full of adversity, but if we believe that every adversity produces a new opportunity then we’re on the right path.

LAST week with the help of Celia Haddon I made some points on aggressive behaviour in cats, here I continue the theme…

Some cats are aggressive only in specific situations that frighten them.

They are friendly much of the time but lash out, for instance, when being picked up.

Or they are aggressive if they feel they are cornered and cannot escape human handling.

Soon they learn that being aggressive keeps humans at a safe distance.

If this happens, they begin to be aggressive quicker because they learn that this tactic works. A pet behaviour counsellor can help you work out exactly what triggers your cat’s aggressive reaction and how to avoid it.

Frustration aggression may be more common in hand reared kittens, as these were not weaned in a natural way. Kittens learn to tolerate frustration when their mother starts pushing them away from the teats.

Aggressive behaviour in cats Scared cats can be aggressive.

As the bottle is never withheld by a human, they are never frustrated. Hand reared cats have no emotional control as they were not put through this process.

Cats that have no coping strategy for frustration just lash out. They may try to control their owners by this.

Their aggression is encouraged because the owner will back away showing the cat it can control its human.

Turn round the relationship by clicker training or reward training the cat.

Get help from a cat behaviour counsellor for this.

Occasionally an otherwise docile cat will attack its owner, because it is aroused by something else. For instance, if it is watching another cat through the window, and feels threatened by it.

If there is a threatening cat on the block, or cats in the same household are fighting, your cat may take out its aggression on you.

You will also get bitten severely if you interrupt a cat fight.

As this is an important subject I will return to it next week.

Fire-starting hamster

www.euroweeklynews.com

PEBBLES, a restless hamster has made its two owners, Tracey Hill and her son Kae, homeless after it started a blaze in their home. His constant running caused his cage to move the buttons on the hob of an electric cooker, which then caught fire. The fire caused £20,000 (€25,500) of damage to the home, as well as claiming the lives of both Pebbles and three of Tracey’s other pets - two dogs, Poppy and Twiggy, and a pet chinchilla. Fortunately Tracey and Kae managed to flee to safety.

The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs.’

Charles de Gaulle

in history 1307: William Tell shoots an apple off his son’s head with a bolt from a crossbow. The legend of the Swiss folk hero and expert marksman tells of his famous shot that so impresses a local nobleman that he frees Tell and his son from execution.

1859: The first modern revival of the Olympic Games takes place in Athens, Greece. The ancient games were discontinued in 394AD by Roman emperor Theodosius I, until a series of revivals starting in 1859 revived the games that transformed into the Olympics as we know them today.

1938: LSD is invented by Swiss chemist Dr Albert Hofmann in Basel, Switzerland. The hallucinogenic drug would later go on to become synonymous with the counterculture of the 60’s and 70’s. Dr Hofmann maintained that the drug was ‘misused’ during that period.

1940: The German Luftwaffe conducts a devastating bombing of the English city of Coventry. In total more than 1,000 people lose their lives in a blitz that leaves much of the city in ruins, including Coventry Cathedral. Though bombed numerous times by German planes, the November 14 bombing is the most devastating.

1973: Princess Anne marries Mark Phillips, an army lieutenant, at Westminster Abbey in a ceremony televised around the world and watched by around 100 million people.

The couple would later divorce in 1992.

1978: A mass suicide in Guyana, South America, leaves more than 900 dead. Known as the ‘Jonestown Massacre’, members of a religious cult run by the charismatic Jim Jones drink poisoned grape juice.

Children among the dead number 278.

Lieutenant Colonel Bill Cage is an untested military officer who is brought into an alien war against an extraterrestrial enemy who can reset the day and thus know what the future will bring. When Cage is killed within minutes of being dropped into battle, he suddenly finds he has the same power as the aliens and with each battle his skills improve. He soon teams up with a Special Forces soldier to try and defeat the aliens.

Directed by Doug Liman and stars Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt and Bill Paxton. Run time 113 mins, Rated PG-13.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) A juicy bit of gossip comes your way this week and it is hard to keep it quiet. You must do so, however, because there is a lot riding on it. When people trust you, they are saying much about the relationship. In this particular case, the person may well be able to progress you socially at some time in the future.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) The rather more serious side of your nature needs to take over this week. Someone in a higher position is keeping an eye on you. This maybe because they are considering you for promotion, so be on your best behaviour. It is important at the moment to stick to any rules and regulations or your reputation (and pocket) could be hit.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Letting life get too tame will eventually irritate you no end. Your social life needs a boost which, in turn, helps romance blossom. It is easy to be a bit lazy when things are going smoothly but we all need constant stretching. With an active mind such as yours, the important thing is to keep making progress. This may be in a physical way or in some kind of business. A brisk attitude to your whole life is needed.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A chance remark alluding to your past brings a flashback. This helps you to see a current situation more clearly. We all make mistakes and follow the same old patterns, but this time you are being forewarned. It is in your experience and power to make a different choice of action this time. In doing so, much confusion and upset can be avoided.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Someone will most certainly come to the rescue when your situation changes. Well, they will, won't they?

Have Plan B ready just in case. In continuing to think in the short term you do yourself no favours. Think now of a '10- year plan' and be determined to reach your goal. Bit by bit and day by day you will progress. You don't have to rush ahead and get stressed.

TOP 10 MOVIE QUOTES OF ALL TIME A RADIO TIMES poll this week revealed the top 10 movie quotes of all time as voted by British film fans. There are some obvious ones, but a few surprises too.

1. ‘To infinity... and beyond!’

The catchphrase uttered by Toy Story’s space ranger Buzz Lightyear was the surprise phrase to top the list of the all-time favourite movie quotes. Voiced

by Tim Allen, Buzz Lightyear’s catchphrase from the 1995 animated hit has caught the imagination of the British public.

2. ‘You’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!’

Michael Caine’s infamous line from the 1969 classic The Italian Job, uttered when one of his gang of thieves uses slightly too much explosives during a trial run for the real heist.

Cold case for Harry Bosch BOOKS books@euroweeklynews.com

Detective Harry Bosch returns to investigate a cold case that gets very hot, very fast.

When the victim of a random shooting 10 years earlier suddenly dies from related complications, Bosch must investigate the case with hardly any evidence or clues left remaining.

Teamed up with Detective Lucia Soto - a rising star in the department - the two are tasked with solving the case that turns out to be politically sensitive and highly charged.

With only a 10-year-old bullet to go on, Bosch and Soto soon discover that the shooting was

3. ‘Say hello to my little friend.’

Screamed by Tony Montana (Al Pacino) at the thugs out to kill him before he starts shooting wildly with an M16 machine gun through the door of his study. From the classic 1983 film Scarface, considered one of the best gangster movies of all time.

4. ‘He’s not the Messiah. He’s a very naughty boy.’

This phrase stood out for UK viewers as the most memorable line from a whole plethora of quotable funnies in Monty Python’s hilarious 1979 movie The Life of Brian. And who could forget the end song of the movie ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life’?

5. ‘You’re gonna need a bigger boat.’

The moment in Jaws when Roy Scheider is shovelling chum into the ocean and the massive great white shark of the title makes his first appearance is probably one of the most memorable scenes in cinema, as is Scheider’s line.

8. ‘All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain.’

Who knew robots could be so profound?

Rutger Hauer’s compelling replicant, Roy Batty, speaks these words to Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) before his body shuts down, erasing all of his memories in Ridley Scott’s 1982 sci-fi classic Bladerunner.

9. ‘Well, nobody’s perfect.’

One of the greatest ending lines in a movie is spoken by Osgood Fielding III (Joe E Brown) to Jerry/Daphne (Jack Lemon) in Some Like It Hot, also starring Marilyn Monroe. Removing his wig and revealing he is really a man, an exasperated Jerry hears those three famous words.

Bad news and facing up to fears Erica Russell Watson: My journey – and I’m driving

2nd

OCTOBER: The phone rang, it was my surgeon’s secretary. I was expecting a call as the tumour committee, a delightful name I know, had met the day before to discuss my case but just not a call the following day. Invariably when you are contacted quickly it means there is urgent news and generally not positive. I was asked to come in the following morning for my results.

My surgeon cut to the chase and said she was sorry to have to tell me that the news was not good. I had grade three cancer and that my breast was proliferated with micro tumours, all malignant, which had not been detected by the mammogram. The upshot was that they were going to have to get me back in for another operation; a mastectomy. This was going to be the only way to ensure the cancer didn’t spread to other parts of my body.

Just starting to feel better again and back onto the operating table. Oh well, I thought, what can you do? I felt that my breast was unhealthy and so although I was not looking forward to another operation I knew it was necessary, and the sooner the better. I focused on my main objective, eradicate the cancer. So plan B, a deep breath, and wait for a surgery date.

I didn’t have too much time to dwell as I had an appointment the same day to take my stitches out and the staples under my arm, which were becoming decidedly uncomfortable. The staples

Readers’ response Dear Erica, The article you wrote about your hospital procedure sounded almost like a happy holiday spa you went to... where all the staff were absolute caring professionals from the nurses to the surgeons. In fact you did compare it with hospitals in films. Certainly a lot more attractive than I have heard from the Murcian area of Spain. For whatever reason... you failed to mention the hospital you spoke of so fluently and I must admit to being curious... possibly because I am contemplating taking out Residencia. I would like you please to answer just one question... was your procedure with the Spanish National Health or did you go PRIVATE? Eva Taylor (Mrs) Dear Eva Many thanks for your email. In response to your question my treatment is with the Spanish National Health System. I am a resident and self-employed and therefore am entitled to use the public health system. To be able to use the system, naturally you need to pay taxes. British nationals who draw a pension are also entitled to use the system.

do not hurt when they are removed at all but the stitches are a little trickier as they are just like fishing line so cutting them is difficult. Once done, I came home. I was feeling tired and jaded. Thank goodness my good friend Bertie was coming to visit me… her timing could not have been better!

As the day went on my son noticed that the scar under my arm was starting to open.

It seemed fine when the staples had been taken out in the morning but it was looking pretty bad now and I suspected that if it were left it would become infected. In the end my son insisted I went to Urgencias or A&E.

The hospital where I had my operations and screening is called Hospital Comarcal de la Axarquía in Vélez-Málaga.

When I start chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment I will be moved to Carlos Haya in Málaga, another very well known public hospital.

I hope that answers your questions.

Kind regards Erica What an inspiration this woman is... and so brave. Good for you, dear. Hope everything went well for you - with those wonderful people looking after you.

God Bless.

Ena Amengual Mallorca

By Email Dear Ena Thank you so much for taking the time to put pen to paper and for your good wishes. I am a very lucky lady to have so much support. Thank you once again.

Warmest wishes Erica

It was late at night and my friend was about to arrive but I had no choice, I couldn’t risk an infection. So off I went and had it dealt with. Dosed up with antibiotics and patched up, I came home.

I felt quite weak the following day and was told to rest. Just as well Bertie was with me or I would have tried to cook, wash up, sweep and a host of other things. She strong armed me onto the sofa and did absolutely everything around the house!

She even gave my children a yoga class and a relaxation session for me, along with anti-inflammatory exercises.

Bertie is not to be argued with and I love her for it.

The next day I bounced back and we managed a lunch out, which lifted my spirits no end. I can’t emphasise enough the importance of having the support of friends and loved ones. You have to get used to accepting help if you want a quick recovery.

While I waited for my operation date I couldn’t help worrying about the possibility that my left breast might also have tumours.

If the mammogram hadn’t detected some of the tumours in the right breast, what guarantee did I have that the same scenario wasn’t the case for the other side?

So instead of fretting I rang the doctor’s secretary and

asked if I could see my surgeon to talk to her about my concerns. She tracked her down and was back on the phone within 10 minutes with an appointment for the following day to coincide with my meeting with the anesthetist.

This is not very common in the National Health System.

Normally you would have to go via your GP or Médico de Cabecera to get appointments but I had somehow managed to fast track everything, which was very fortunate because I believe every second counts.

I discussed my concerns with my surgeon and she agreed that we could not take any chances with my “unpredictable breasts”. She sent me for an MRI scan the following day, to be on the safe side. If it was bad news then I would have a double mastectomy.

It was an uncomfortable process. I had the line put in my arm through which they inject a dye to provide a contrast in order to show up any abnormalities more clearly. I had to lie face down and found it hard to breath with the most difficult thing being that I was unable to move at all.

I was still smarting from the embarrassment of having slapped the male nurse administering the scan in the face with my unruly right boob!

Anyway it was over and I went for breakfast with my lovely friend Conchi, whom I regard as my adopted aunt!

Just two days after the MRI scan, my surgeon called me at home. She spoke in Spanish: “Hi darling, good news, the left breast is clear! So have a good weekend and I will see you on the operating table on October 22.”

Great news! Now I had to prepare for the operation the following week.

Pollution causes leap in pollen levels IT’S bad news if you suffer from hayfever as scientists say pollen levels are set to soar over the next few years.

They say higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, pumped out by cars, planes and factories, will lead to a significant increase in the volume of grass pollen in the air, with airborne pollen increasing three-fold in the next 100 years.

The increased carbon dioxide also means the leaves of plants can capture more of it, leading to greater growth of foliage, including grass, and therefore more pollen.

SUMMER MISERY: Hayfever is likely to get worse.

Cold weather care AFTER a warm October, a winter chill seems to be on its way, and it could wreak havoc with our skin.

With sales of skincare specifically designed for delicate skin types on the rise, is it possible that we have become a nation which is now overly obsessed with having ‘sensitive skin’?

Sales trends are reflecting a shift towards natural skincare with 71 per cent of facial skincare users saying they are interested in ultra-gentle products.

Sensitive and gentle skincare products are also capturing a greater percentage of facial cleanser and moisturiser sales.

So it would appear that consumers are opting for a pared-down approach, as almost a quarter (24 per cent) of facial skincare users saying they look

for products with natural, organic ingredients.

Twenty-two per cent seek out products that are free from certain ingredients like parabens or fragrances and 21 per cent are interested in items that are designed specifically for sensitive skin.

Dermatologist Dr Robin Stones, Medical Director at Courthouse Clinics, says: “I have certainly seen an increase in the number of people who come into the clinic saying they have sensitive skin.

“Women are very committed to caring for their skin, but they’re often diagnosing themselves with new issues and use so many new products to solve them that they develop irritation.”

Shifts hurt brain health DOING long-term shift work affects the brain’s memory and thinking skills. Researchers found that working shifts for a decade or more leads to a loss of memory and an impaired ability to think.

By stopping shift work, the brain can recover, but it can take up to five years.

The University of Toulouse in France said the disruption of the body clock and natural day and night cycles may cause the negative effect on the brain’s ability to function.

Medics blame the crisis for increase in heart disease THE Spanish Society of Cardiology (SEC) has warned that there has been a small increase in strokes and heart attacks, which has been attributed to the crisis and its impact on social policies.

“The biggest impact of the crisis was in social policy,” stressed the SEC chairman and head of department of the Hospital Universitario de Santiago (CHUS), Jose Ramon GonzalezJuanate. He pointed out that, in recent times, life expectancy had increased by more than six years, four of which were due to advances in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, which still remains the leading cause of death in Spain.

However, he indicated that the “surge” in mortality from heart disease in both men and women in 2012, was blamed on social exclusion and the rise in the number of unemployed, saying, “poverty brings disease.”

Smokers more likely to suffer chronic pain SMOKERS are three times more likely to develop chronic back pain than nonsmokers.

The results came from a study of 160 adults who had reported new cases of back pain. MRI scans were carried out and surveys filled in on general health questions.

It was found that the two areas of the brain which are involved in addictive behaviour and motivated learning ‘talk’ to one another, and scientists discovered that the strength of that connection helps determine who will suffer from chronic pain.

This connection was very strong and active in the brains of smokers.

Quitting smoking can cut the chances of developing chronic back pain.

BAD BACK: Addiction is linked to chronic pain.

Chilly mornings, brighter gardens

Dick Handscombe

Gardening Corner

By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.

NOVEMBER 5 is past us and now it is time for bright autumn gardens to cheer us up and tempt us into chillier morning gardens to do essential prunings and deadheadings to encourage colourful Christmas gardens.

Having been away for a few days seeing a number of friends’ gardens and giving a talk to the Costa Blanca Gardening Circle, stunning views greeted me this morning.

It is amazing how just a couple of spring-type showers breaking the long drought and heavy morning dews have brought on autumn gardens.

Winter and spring bulbs are well above the soil and a large clump of crocuses normally out in

January are already in full bloom.

Hopefully nature will be kind this year with no early frosts and the salvias in my garden, at present taller than the olive tree, will still be in flower at Christmas.

So once this article is emailed to EWN I am out into the garden to do some pruning and weed the fast growing vegetable seedlings and plantlets.

Today’s breakfast salad includes lettuce, garlic chives, young garlic and radish shoots, rocket, purslane, chichory, a broccoli leaf, a couple of young onions, two young carrots, nasturtium leaves and flowers, a mini red pepper and one of the last two tomatoes.

The mix is not only colourful and freshly harvested but also chemical free and healthy.

These are grown in a number of raised beds and my 10-tub builders bucket vegetable plot as

illustrated on page 61 of our book Growing Healthy Vegetables in Spain’ There is more about what we grow in the book Living well from our garden - Mediterranean style which will also be available in Spanish later in the month. Like the

other books, you can find them on Amazon Books.

If you are concerned about the quality of soil and composts that you have for growing vegetables, go to the garden centre and purchase some bags of soil-based compost and

sacks of worm compost, as well as some inexpensive sacks of dried goat or sheep manure.

Mix these up in black builders buckets with holes in the bottom, or mix into a few square metres of the garden and you will be ready to plant

up an immediately productive mini vegetable garden, and enjoy delicious salads by Christmas.

Southern Spain Damp Proofing guaranteed solutions since 2001

H

OW many times have you walked into an apartment or villa and been met by a smell of damp or stale air?

Perhaps you own a property that has a damp problem?

Imagine arriving on holiday and the first thing you notice is a damp living space. Not the best start to a vacation.

At Southern Spain Damp Proofing we offer full damp proofing services, silicon injection tanking and full condensation treatments.

Our Nuaire Drimaster and Flatmaster range has been curing severe condensation problems for more than 20 years in some of the worst affected properties throughout the world.

Once this unobtrusive unit is fitted in your property it is designed to ensure that is adequately ventilated with fresh filtered air all year round.

Stale, contaminated, vapourladen air in your home is continually diluted and displaced through the opening of doors and windows during normal day-to-day living and when the property is empty it will displace through vents and gaps around the doors and windows.

The Flatmaster constantly draws in fresh air from the outside, filters it through a fan unit and supplies tempered air into your home, creating a healthier living environment - so no more damp smells and black mould.

Other benefits, apart from ventilation, are condensation

CONDENSATION CURE: No more damp smells or mould.

prevention and also reductions in house dust mites, a great benefit for asthma sufferers.

The unit is designed to run continuously so the running cost is very low, around a cent per day.

The maintenance of the unit is also minimal with the filters just needing cleaned every one to two years, depending on where the property is situated.

Remember, the damp winter weather is not far away, so this year there is no need to sit in a damp, musty, home environment. Call our fully legal experts for a free, no obligation survey report and estimate.

THE Spanish government has bowed to public pressure and back-tracked on a new capital gains law that could have seen huge increases in tax payable on second homes bought before 1994.

Under the original proposals, someone who bought their property more than 20 years ago who sold after January 1 next year (providing they were under 65 and it was not classed as their primary residence) would have seen a huge rise in their capital gains bill.

For example, a house bought in 1976 at two million pesetas (€12,020), sold now at €222,000, would pay €10,869 tax (IRPF) under the current legislation.

The modification of the act would have seen

Credi:Luis García Flickr

U-turn on capital gains tax

HEADQUARTERS: The Ministry of Finance in Madrid has backed the amendment to the bill. a dramatic increase in liability from the beginning of January next year, to €43,995.

The reason for that is because the government is getting rid of the adjustment co-efficient

which limited capital gains liability from the 80s and the monetary correction indices which

took into account inflation.

Now, after protests from politicians, housing

associations and the public saying it would be another blow to the property market, the government has decided to soften the blow.

An amendment to the bill, backed by the Ministry of Finance, will keep the reduced rate for capital gains ‘until the cumulative sum of the transmission value of the property exceeds €400,000.’

The converse aspect of the law is that it would have reduced capital gains liabilities on property bought since 1994.

It is unclear whether the new amendment will affect that aspect of the bill.

Property owners considering selling should talk to a property professional for advice on the full ramifications of the law.

DUBLIN: Fell behind Madrid in the third quarter of this year.

Autumn sees luxury property prices in Spanish capital climb faster than anywhere else in Europe MADRID overtook London and Dublin for third quarter price rises for prime residential property.

According to figures from Knight Frank estate agents, the Spanish capital saw a 2 per cent increase in prices on luxury property compared to 1.4 per cent for Dublin and 1

per cent for London.

Over the 12 months since September 2013 Dublin is highest ranked in Europe with rises of 12.7 per cent on the global luxury home index for price growth.

Madrid is third in Europe behind London, with a rise of 6.5 per cent compared to

London’s 7.4 per cent.

The figures put Dublin in fourth spot worldwide, with London 10th and Madrid 12th in the index of luxury home price rises for major cities.

Leading the way were Jakarta in Indonesia with a 27.3 per cent rise, Los Angeles (16.3 per cent) and Tel Aviv

(14 per cent.) Worldwide luxury prices continue to outperform their mainstream counterparts.

The average price of a luxury home on Knight Frank’s index is 36 per cent higher than it was at the index’s lowest point in the second quarter of 2009, while the average price of a

mainstream property has risen by 14 per cent over the same period.

Madrid, Dublin and London have bucked the European trend with the average rise in prime residential property prices across European cities in the year to September being just 1 per cent.

Banks make home loans cheaper PROPERTIES are getting cheaper to mortgage. New loans on homes now cost an average €500 a year less on a €150,000 25-year term, as banks have been slowly reducing their rates throughout the year.

It was a common gripe that bailed-out banks were not passing on all of the benefits of historically low interest rates to their clients, instead preferring to keep their margins up.

But since the start of 2014 a group of banks have been driving a downward thrust in interest rates for customers.

In January, most banks were offering mortgages at around Euribor (the rate at which they borrow money) plus 2 per cent (or 2.5 per cent including Euribor).

But little by little that rate has edged down as market

Business leads recovery THE recovery in the property sector is developing at two speeds.

Leading the way is the commercial sector, with investment in offices, hotels and shopping centres this year, double that of 2013.

Capital spent in that sector has now reached pre-economic crisis levels, with the €9 billion spent this year showing optimism for the future.

But the housing market is still a buyer’s market, with the 27,000 homes sold monthly about the same as the 2013 figure.

The difference is that home prices seem to be stabilising, with some areas, particularly on the costas, seeing slight gains over the summer.

forces have come into effect. By November the average rate was around Euribor plus 1.7 per cent on new loans.

Indeed it is possible to get rates as low as Euribor plus 1.25 per cent, generally through finance professionals, and many offer charge-free mortgages – traditionally an opening fee of around 1 per cent was added,

meaning an extra €1,500 on a €150,000 mortgage having to be repaid.

The downside of the best offers is usually that they are tied in to a series of between five and nine conditions like buying insurance, paying bills by direct debit, having your wages paid direct into your account, taking out credit cards or opening a pension plan.

Cage fight

Engineering lecture

THE First International MMA Cage Fight will take place on Friday, November 21, at Central Hall. It involves professional and semi-professional fighters from Gibraltar, Britain and Spain. Tickets are £10 each and are on sale at the Ju Jitsu Academy at North Jumpers Bastion. The event starts at 7pm, and tickets on the door are £15 each.

A PUBLIC meeting on the ‘Victorian foundation of Gibraltar’s essential infrastructure’ will be held at John Mackintosh Hall on Thursday, November 20. The event, hosted by the Gibraltar Group of Professional Engineers, starts at 7pm, and will be adressed by expert speaker Manuel Perez.

Employees of the THE Gibraltar Health Authority (GHA) has named Stephen Mascarenhas and Francis Mauro as joint winners of the GHA ‘Employee of the Year’ award. Both winners work as GHA messengers. The ‘Ward/Department of the Year’ award went to the Critical Care Unit. The awards were presented at the annual staff awards ceremony at John Mackintosh Hall.

Northern Defences may be restored as a heritage site

T

HE government is exploring the possibility of opening up the famed Northern Defences as a heritage and tourism site.

It is hoped that the neglected site can be refurbished and restored in an effort to preserve it as an important part of Gibraltar’s history.

The Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia and the Minister for Heritage Steven Linares recently paid a visit to the site in order to learn how best to proceed.

A government statement said that a total of eight expressions of interest had been received regarding the Northern Defences and it is now considering initiating works.

“The scale of the project is considerable and it is clear that this will have to be done in phases and that it will take time,” said the statement. “However, it is also clear that the

BOMBPROOF BARRACKS: Gibraltar’s Northern Defences potential of the site from a heritage, tourism and leisure point of view is also impressive. The

Northern Defences combine 1,000 years of history in one site.”

Youth scheme aims to inspire future Spielbergs PHOTOGRAPHY, filming, editing and lighting are just some of the skills that Gibraltar’s youth can receive training in, thanks to a new initiative launched by the Gibraltar Youth Service.

The Gibraltar Youth Production Team (GYPT) is a newly launched service that aims to attract budding young production crews between the ages of 16 and 25, in an effort to develop skills useful to

future employment. The initiative is particularly targeted towards those not currently in education, employment or training.

The idea is to have the group create their own production team in the medium of film and photography, so they can learn the skills necessary to offer products to prospective clients in this field.

The skills learned will include time-keeping,

working towards a deadline, teamwork, planning, communication and developing professionalism and decision-making.

Participating youths will be able to build a portfolio of experience through learning about film, video, photography, lighting and editing.

Gib to Bristol route opens next year LOW-FARE airline easyJet is to open up the only direct route between Gibraltar and Bristol next year.

It will be Gibraltar’s second easyJet direct link with the UK mainland, with flights from London Gatwick already in operation since 2008. The new route will operate up to three times weekly and is due to start in April 2015.

“We’re really pleased to be introducing Bristol’s only direct air link to Gibraltar Airport,” said Ali Gayward, UK commercial manager at easyJet. “With a yearround service, affordable fares and a flight time of just over two-and-a-half hours, we’re confident that it will prove a popular service for both business and leisure travellers.”

The low-fare airline is already Bristol Airport’s largest carrier and the new link to Gibraltar will increase its routes from Bristol to 47 destinations.

Shaun Browne, aviation director, Bristol Airport, said: “The city of Plymouth in the south west has a strong connection to Gibraltar through its rich naval and marine industry history, and more recently the financial services sector plays an important role in both our economies.”

In the past easyJet operated flights between Gibraltar and Liverpool, but that route closed in October 2012.

a Leon ST 2.0 TDI 184PS in the sporty FR guise, romped to victory and was named Towcar of the Year 2015. Aiding its

ability to sip fuel at a rate of just 65.7 miles per gallon, at 1,415 kilos, the Leon ST is one of the lightest estates in its

class. In FR guise with the twolitre 184 PS engine, and a hefty 380Nm torque, it’s capable of towing loads up to 1.6 tonnes.

Receiving the award at the Royal Automobile Club on London’s Pall Mall, SEAT UK’s Head of Press & PR, Juliet Carrington, commented: “The Leon ST’s only been on sale for a few months, so to haul in its second and third award in just a matter of weeks is fantastic.

“It’s practical, stylish and packed with technological features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Dynamic Chassis Control, making it a great towing partner. Hopefully, this is its first of many in the months ahead.”

Love design, love Maserati FOR those who love Italian style, Maserati has come up with a treat.

The Maserati Ghibli S Q4, designed in collaboration with Ermenegildo Zegna, offers a new, exclusive product style interpretation.

With its dynamic, contemporary look, it targets a luxury bracket of precious detail lovers and has been created with a renewed product range in mind for the future. The bodywork has a tricoated paint finish in a new colour shade and the 20” wheels also come in a specially developed colour.

And the interior is first rate. It has been designed as the ultimate expression of style and exclusivity, with a contrasting colour scheme created by combining the finest leather and valuable Zegna yarns, says Maserati.

The car stands out from the rest of the current Ghibli range thanks to its special colour

finishes, materials and trims.

Intended to be a first milestone towards the manufacturer’s renewed, future product line-up, this special trim developed for the concept car enhances its character and aesthetic value, making it even more exclusive and creating the ultimate contemporary look, says Maserati.

The exterior has a new exclusive Azzurro Astro colour; the production technology is based on a triple layer of pigment, adding to the depth, shine and

iridescence of the finish, enhanced by changing shades of blue at the brightest points, and toned down to ash grey in the darker areas. The aluminium pigments used for this special colour magnify the design lines and bring out the muscular profile of the bodywork; the car’s sculpted outline is forcefully enhanced by the colour used, while the transparent top coat adds depth and a glossy shine.

Other immediately apparent exterior features are the 20”

Urano wheels with their distinctive colour specially developed for this concept car; this finish, named Liquid Metal, emphasises the sports style, high technology and luxury positioning of the vehicle design.

As befits the sartorial excellence represented by the Maserati and Zegna partnership, the style focus is mostly on the interior. The shared experience with the Quattroporte Zegna Limited Edition helped Ermenegildo Zegna create a pure silk fabric,

combining an essential and soft feel with an elegantly technical look, resulting in an extremely high visual impact.

Dynamism and a contemporary feel are the key words to read the dualcolour, dual-material composition of the passenger compartment - in leather tones and Zegna anthracite silk.

As for the seating, the extra fine grain, natural colour leather with contrasting, light grey stitching is matched to a central silk insert with a micro-chevron weave of vertical rolls on the central seat and backrest area, within which the central roll, with leather piping on the sides, features a special macro-chevron weave adding to its threedimensional, soft feel and technical appearance.

On the door panels, the central span is covered with Zegna silk Jersey and embellished by a diagonal roll pattern, with tonsur-ton ornamental stitching and alternating rib embroideries.

The all-new...

V

OLVO has launched the latest edition of its XC90 SUV. The all new car combines some visually striking designs with the world leading safety features drivers have come to expect from the Swedish manufacturer.

Aimed squarely at the premium market the seven seater has new powertrain technologies, powerful but efficient engines and a superlative interior finish.

Volvo says that the car is a new chapter in its history and is a pointer to its future design direction as well as incorporating a range of new technologies and Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) technology.

The new XC90 is the first Volvo to carry the company’s new more prominent iron mark, which has the iconic arrow elegantly aligned with the diagonal slash across the grille.

Together with the Tshaped ‘Thor’s Hammer’ DRL lights, the iron mark introduces an entirely new, distinctive and confident face for Volvo’s forthcoming generation of cars.

Its larger bonnet with its new topography, the beltline and the sharpened shoulders connecting with the tattoo-like, new rear

...Volvo XC90 lights are other important design signatures that will be mirrored across the range.

And to add more visual muscle from the sides, the XC90 comes with a range of wheel sizes up to 22 inches.

Going hand in hand with the striking exterior design, the interior is the most luxurious to have been designed for a Volvo. The most striking feature is a tablet-like touch screen control console, which forms the heart of an all-new in-car control system.

This system is virtually button free, a simplicity that opened up generous surfaces and gave designers the opportunity to create a modern, luxurious interior.

It uses materials like finest Nappa leather and wood with handcrafted details, including a gear lever made of crystal glass from Orrefors, the famous Swedish glassmaker, and diamond-cut controls for the start/stop button and volume control.

When it comes to

driving dynamics, the XC90 gives the smooth, solid ride of a premium SUV combined with sharp handling and response.

There is a completely new chassis, front and rear.

There are a double wishbone front suspension and a new integral link rear axle that also features a new transverse leaf spring, made of lightweight material.

The XC90 can also be equipped with electronically controlled air suspension with a choice of five modes.

The XC90 offers a range of two-litre, fourcylinder Drive-E powertrains, all of which provide an outstanding combination of performance and fuelefficiency, say Volvo.

The top of the range XC90 Twin Engine, which combines a supercharged and turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor, offers an unrivalled combination of power and clean operation.

Torremolinos man captains karate world champs WHEN it comes to sport, Spain is a country that knows all about winning.

Despite not being quite at their best at the moment, the national football side nonetheless ruled the world’s pitches for years. Spain’s basketball team continue to dominate the courts, as does tennis player Rafael Nadal on a different type of court.

Fernando Alonso is a twotime Formula 1 world champion, and Sergio Garcia and Miguel Angel Jimenez rank among the best in the world at golf.

And that is just to name a few. For a country with such a rich sporting heritage and a knack for winning, another title can now be added to its long list of sporting achievements: the Spanish male karate team has just been crowned world champions.

WE’RE NUMBER 1: Spanish karate team with captain Damian Quintero (centre).

The team, captained by 30year-old Torremolinos man Damian Quintero, took gold at the 22nd Karate World Championships in Bremen, Germany.

Teams and individuals from

156 countries took part in this year’s world championships, with three-man Spain taking home the gold medal in the team event. Beating Egypt 41 in the final round, team España added to the overall

Spanish medal haul of one gold and four bronzes at the event.

Quintero - currently ranked fourth in the world - is a member of the Torremolinos Goju Ryu club.

Peter McDonagh is a knockout SATURDAY night saw Marbella based boxer Peter McDonagh secure victory in Kent, UK against Croatian Zoran Cvek; as he clinched a final round KO. This was his first fight after his Irish title win and his first fight since changing to trainer Danny Vaughan. “I’d like to thank Seamus for all he has done with me; it was special as I was his first champion and the MGM gym’s first champion, but now I’m with Danny I feel I’m working well with him,” McDonagh explained.

It’s early days but McDonagh thinks it’s the beginning of good things to come, “if I can get a six round KO in five weeks, let’s see where we will be in six months. I want a big title soon with the backing of my manager and the team at MGM.” Vaughan was happy with how things went, “the fight went to plan,” he said.

“Peter boxed behind the jab nice and was landing body punches from the first round and was hurting his opponent.”

“He took my advice to keeping landing the body shots and eventually he would knock him out, and he did, with a left hook to the body, his first KO for nine years!”
