The area has suffered floods for 11 years due to insufficient drainage, locals say, and the mayor has now promised to see what can be done to improve this.

Spending grows TOURISTS spent more at beach bars and on beaches in June, July and August this year, head of the Andalucian Beach Business Federation Norberto del Castillo has announced. Although the recovery was not as spectacular as some had hoped it would be, Del Castillo said, spending is certainly up by an estimated 4 or 5 per cent at least on and by the beaches.

The report, presented by the service following the end of the official local bathing season, also revealed that while red flags were not flown once during the two month period, white ones warning of the presence of jellyfish had to be flown on 44 of the 65 days lifeguards were on duty.

Other incidents reported included 10 sea rescues, six searches for missing people, 41 requests for removal of sea urchin spikes, 39 bumps and sprains, 10 insect stings, 11 allergic reactions and nine cases of heatstroke, with seven people taken for further treatment at medical centres.

Looking east Trade mission to Iran

UNDER ARREST: Female suspect is marched through the main street in Gandia.

By John Smith AS thousands flee from Syria for fear of persecution and ancient monuments are desecrated, the Spanish authorities are doing all that they can to combat ‘the enemy within’.

A Moroccan teenaged girl was arrested on Saturday September 5 in the seaside town of Gandia, suspected of acting to recruit other young women to the cause of so called IS (Islamic State).

Heavily armed police entered her home and marched her handcuffed and in full burka dress through the main street of the city in front of hundreds of local onlookers.

100 plus is the number people who have left Spain and are thought to have joined Jihadist fighters in Iraq and Syria. It is feared many of them could return and put their training to work in launching attacks on specific targets across Spain and Europe.

In a society that is so close to North Africa and has a recent history of religious tolerance, Spain is in a difficult position. It is easily infiltrated and with the open access of the internet, the dissemination of anti-Western and pro-Jihadist propaganda is difficult to stop.

Many may condemn the open display of the arrest but the girl could not be identified as her face was fully covered and her name was withheld.

The situation is clear to the majority that the more publicity gained for the legal removal of threats to society, the less chance there is to see a repeat of the shameful killing of 191 people in the Madrid train bombings of 2004.

THREE Spanish ministers are expected to accompany representatives of 40 companies on a trade mission to Iran to present opportunities to companies concerned with oil and general industry.

Busy month TWENTY-SIX people were arrested for offences against public health, 21 drug sales points busted and more than eight kilos of drugs and €668 in cash confiscated by the National Police force in Malaga City in August.

BARS and restaurants in Marbella’s old town and San Pedro have reported between 5-10 per cent increases in sales over July and August, the council has announced. Meanwhile in quieter areas the increase was between 2-3 per cent.

Fair continues

Carless cops working in La Linea UNKNOWN to criminals and the general public, the Local Police force in La Linea was stuck without vehicles for almost three days this week.

The force’s two patrol cars ran out of petrol on Sunday and

officers found there was no credit left to refuel at the petrol stations the force works with.

Also, the Professional Union of Local Police officers reported on Tuesday (September 8), the two motorbikes the force

owns are out of service due to flat batteries.

Officers decided at first not to announce the problem to avoid encouraging criminals to take advantage of the situation, and the council said as soon as

it was informed the matter was resolved with the petrol providers, meaning cars were back in service on Tuesday.

Yet, the union complains, this is not the only problem faced by officers in the town as

the radio systems lack coverage, often meaning mobile phones have to be used to call for backups. For a town of La Linea’s size and the number of officers employed, there should be five patrol cars, not just two.

Something for all THE annual fair in Mijas Pueblo is running until Sunday, September 12 and attractions include concerts, sports and children’s activities and dancing. Concert tickets are available from the tourist office.

DESPERATION: Refugees cram into a train.

By Eleanor Hawkins AS NATIONAL and European authorities work out the final details, Malaga Province is preparing to take in an estimated 1,000 of the Syrian refugees due to be sent to Spain over the next few weeks.

Altogether, Spain will be taking in almost 15,000 of the 120,000 refugees who have arrived in Hungary, Italy and Greece, fleeing conflicts in their homeland, and although at the time of going to press official numbers had not been provided, charities estimate between 800 and 1,000 will be coming to Malaga and the Costa del Sol.

Although charities had initially said that the refugees would be housed at shelters where professional help was on hand rather than individual homes, generous people all along the coast are already offering to take them in whenever needed.

Andalucia goes to Russia TOURISM Department to take steps to reinforce Spanish presence in the country

By Maria Jose Fernandez THE economic situation in Russia is taking its toll on Spanish tourism destinations, even becoming a serious issue in the coastal areas of Catalonia and the Canary Islands, which were the places traditionally chosen by the majority of Russians to spend their holidays.

However, Andalucia seems to have been able to escape this negative trend and, despite a decrease of 38 per cent in the number of Russian visitors who arrived in the whole of Spain, the Andalucian region has in fact experienced an increase of 2 per cent between January and July 2015, according to the data released by the regional government’s tourism department.

Head of the department, Francisco Javier Fernandez, said the region needs to make the most out of this advantage to turn Andalucia into a preferred destination for Russian tourists, once the country has overcome its financial issues.

This is why the Junta de Andalucia regional government is taking action and, with a budget of €350,000, it is to create a series of measures to increase Spanish presence in the country. Specifically,

Aviation report threatens project SHOPPING centre owners face serious objections

By Eleanor Hawkins PLAZA Mayor shopping and leisure centre’s owners’ plans to extend and build a 23,000-square-metre luxury brand outlet park have received a blow from the Civil Aviation Authority, which has issued a negative report.

For the time being, the report means that carrying out the project, with an estimated investment of €115 million and due to create 1,000 jobs, will be difficult if not impossible. This is because the authority’s approval is crucial to allow the PGOU urban land plans to be modified to allow construction of the park, next to the current centre near Malaga City and the Costa del Sol airport.

The Civil Aviation report considered there were insuf-

Civil Aviation is also concerned about the height of the proposed buildings, which it believes surpass limits for the area and has asked for the town hall to present a specific aeronautical study, which would have to be approved by AESA.

An historic achievement for a remarkable monarch THE QUEEN surpasses her great, great grandmother, Queen Victoria, in the length of her reign

FOUR GENERATIONS: The Queen and the royal family.

By John Smith IT was on February 6, 1952, that King George VI died whilst Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh were staying at Treetops in Kenya. It was the event which spawned the oft-repeated phrase ‘she went to bed a princess and woke up a queen’ although she wasn’t actually aware of the fact until the afternoon of the 7th when the Duke of Edinburgh broke the news to her.

At 25, she was thrust into a role that she wasn’t really prepared for. Although she had become heir to the throne at the age of 10, there was still a chance that a if a son was born to the king, he would succeed him.

In the event this was not to be and like her great, great grandmother, Victoria, not only has she been a successful and wellloved sovereign, she has also taken the title of longest reigning monarch in British history.

Now in her 90th year, the woman christened Elizabeth Alexandra Mary has seen some of the most dramatic changes in society since the Industrial Revolution and she seems to cope with all of this transition gracefully and perhaps with a slightly knowing smile.

It would be impossible to highlight the achievements of this remarkable woman who has dedicated so much of her life to the service of Country and Common-

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

Whilst well-grounded in the protocol of the monarchy, Her Majesty gave no indication that she would celebrate the event in any public manner and carried on with her usual round of engagements.

Time is weighing on both her shoulders and those of Prince Philip, who is now 94 - and holds his own record as the longestserving consort of a reigning British monarch and the oldest-ever male member of the British royal family - which is why more official visits will be undertaken by the Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family.

Water guaranteed RESERVOIRS in the province are holding 371 cubic hectometres

ENOUGH: Although stores are lower than at this time last year, Malaga’s reservoirs will guarantee supply.

By Eleanor Hawkins FOLLOWING a long, hot, busy summer, September is here and water levels, although nothing to write home about, are sufficient to see the Costa through, the regional government has announced.

Although it has been a dry year and masses of tourists more than doubled the number of people using Malaga Province’s water supply,

there will be enough to guarantee normal supplies for the next hydrological year regardless of how much it rains over the next few months, said Adolfo Moreno, Environmental Delegate for Malaga of the Junta de Andalucia regional government.

Reservoirs in the province are holding 371 cubic hectometres, 60.28 per cent of their total capacity, Moreno reported, which although it is less than at this time last year will be plenty.

La Concepcion reservoir behind Marbella is at its highest level since 1996-1997, meaning the city has been able to switch off all but one of its eight desalination plant lines, saving heavy energy costs.

Although the numbers are not as good as they were last year, there is no cause for worry and the situation will be analysed in April-May after the wet season to see what can be expected next summer, Moreno said.

PATERNITY LEAVE: Extending time off for new dads to four weeks is not likely to happen before 2017.

Dads left waiting GOVERNMENT claims there are insufficient funds to implement the measure

By Eleanor Hawkins SIX years after the Spanish government approved a measure to increase paternity leave to one month, new dads are still waiting for it to be put into effect, and it is unlikely to happen before 2017.

In Malaga Province more

than 7,100 men take leave each year after the birth or adoption of a new child, costing the state coffers around €5.2 million.

Since 2011, when the increase to four weeks was due to come into effect, about 30,000 new dads in the province could have taken the extra time off work.

Yet the government contin-

ues to stall, claiming there are insufficient funds, and the measure has not been included in the 2016 budgets. It has now been announced for January 1, 2017. Although Luz Rodriguez, PSOE socialist party’s Education secretary, announced last week that her party would be proposing amendments to the

budget, given the PP party’s absolute majority this is unlikely to go through.

The Public Defender’s Office has also urged the government to avoid more delays after a complaint by CSI-F last January. The union said the step is an important one towards balancing work and family life.

TORREMOLINOS Council will be changing the Civil Marriage Ordinance to allow name presentation and social welcoming ceremonies for children as of November.

In the same way that couples choose to marry at registry offices rather than in church, they will now also be able to have their children baptised by civil ceremony without religious aspects.

At the end of the ceremonies the children will receive diplomas and child-friendly versions of the Spanish Constitution. A nameplate with t h e c h i l d ’s n a m e a n d date of birth will also be placed on trees in the town with the aim of eventually creating a botanical garden.

EURO WOMEN PAGE

A fundraiser with a sense of adventure Our Euro Women series is featuring women who have made a success of their lives in Spain. These outstanding ladies have been shattering glass ceilings whether in business, charity work or sports.

Caroline Randerson’s inner passion spurs her on.

CAROLINE RANDERSON radiates energy wherever she goes with her adventurous spirit. She is a woman that has put all her qualities and passion into helping others.

Her success story began in 1989, when she attended a ball at the Grosvenor Hotel in London, which was in the aid of Children with Cancer. The event was an emotional one that struck a chord with Caroline, as she had met guests there who had children suffering from cancer.

Being a parent of three daughters herself, Caroline empathised with those who were trying to cope with their grief. It was on that very same evening that the passion burned inside her to rise up and do something to help; after all, she was in a position to do so with her own life well in order.

With an abundance of fundraising ideas, Caroline set to work, and before long, she was a highly respected figure amongst her many beneficiaries, which included Children with Cancer, Great Ormond Street Hospital and Cudeca. She helps with prizes for auction and silent auction through BlackshawArt and Central-memorabilia, and many other charity events.

Children with Cancer UK, formerly Children with Leukaemia, is a British charitable organisation, inaugurated by Princess Diana on January 12, 1988. Caroline wanted very much to be heavily involved in this good cause. Without the support of key fundraisers, this charity cannot achieve the saving of children’s lives and give support to their families. Caroline continued to raise awareness and funds as she even worked alongside the late Jeremy Beadle organising large annual events in the UK, which

pulled in thousands of pounds.

After the death of Lady Diana, Caroline was given the honour of walking behind her coffin to represent the Children with Cancer organisation. Diana was a hero and mentor of Caroline’s along with Angelina Jolie. She said: “I admire women in a fortunate and high profile position who use their status in order to do good. These women are able to do something in their lives that will make a significant change.”

In 2006, Caroline moved Marbella, where she continued her good works, networking and seeking out new venues and projects. She has brought celebrities to the coast who have pulled in the crowds to raise thousands year after year, and she is a

lady that will never stop or say no. She is a tough cookie who hates injustice and lazy people and this has been the road to her

amazing achievements.

The annual Children with Cancer event has now been a success for the last eight

years. The one-night-only annual event has raised a running total of almost £250,000. I asked Caroline if she had reached her goal or where she would like in five years from now. She replied: “I want to continue to raise more and help more needy charities so that we can see a real change and turn the lives of others around for the better. I am like a dog with a bone that will not let go.” And you can feel the enthusiasm that she generates into each and every new project.

Caroline has three lovely daughters, aged 29, 27 and 16. The two eldest have successful careers and the youngest is studying ballet, so the strength within is a true family affair. Caroline also remembered her father as a significant influence on her childhood. She said: “My father was confident and determined. He taught me a lot that has made my life richer. If you want something done, then be assertive; lazy people are the ones that say they never have time.”

In 2012, Caroline moved back to London, but she is still very much involved in the scene here in Spain. She is constantly organising events on the Costa del Sol as she has maintained her contacts and good friends who assist her. Always busy and always achieving, this lady has enough energy to make an incredible difference to people from all walks of life.

Fair visit hopes to boost cruises Aitormmfoto / Shutterstock.com

MALAGA PORT to be promoted in Hamburg

FLOATING GIANT: The Allure of the Seas dominated the city’s port on her last visit in April.

By Eleanor Hawkins MALAGA City port is aiming to promote itself as the ideal base port for cruises at Seatrade Europe, the main cruise fair on the continent which began yesterday, Wednesday 9, in Hamburg, Germany.

Coinciding with the start of the high season for cruises, the Costa del Sol capital’s port management will be running a stand at the fair in an attempt to boost results even more for the com-

ing years. October is expected to be the second busiest month of the year for cruise visits to the city, with the

39 cruise ships are due to visit the port in October, the second busiest month this year

most passengers - more than 13,200 - expected to arrive on October 27, when the port will be dominated by

the giant Allure of the Seas.

Altogether, 39 ships carrying up to 82,179 passengers are due into port during the month, close behind April when a total of 41 docked.

Data presented recently

by Port Authority President Paulino Plata revealed that during the first half of this year - which included the quietest months for cruises the number of passengers surpassed 184,000, almost 10 per cent more than the same period in 2014.

Four-legged flyers MALAGA-Costa del Sol Airport saw a different type of passenger through its doors this week as a special operation was mounted to transport 50 horses to Miami.

The horses, which had been competing in a polo tournament in Sotogrande, were received outside the cargo terminal and led in-

to mobile boxes specially set up for the trip.

The boxes were later carefully loaded onto a 100-tonne capacity Boeing 777-200F plane run by Lan Cargo, with collaboration from Swissport cargo agents and under the watchful eyes of the horses’ grooms and a vet.

Blood unit moves in THE mobile blood donor unit will be stationed in Cartama at the end of this month to collect donations. On Thursday,

September 24, blood can be given between 5.30 and 9.30pm at the Centro de Formacion y Empleo Francisco

Romero in Cartama Pueblo, and on September 28 and 29 from 5.30 to 9.30pm at Estacion de Cartama health centre.

FAR FROM OVER: The tourist season on the Costa del Sol.

By Maria José Fernandez THE lengthening of the tourist season on the Costa del Sol due to the great temperatures and economic recovery has shown clear signs that the sector continues to be the area’s financial engine.

The group of municipalities included in the Costa del Sol Commonwealth (Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola,

Mijas, Marbella, Estepona, Benahavís, Manilva, Ojén, Istán and Casares) have registered a 7.7 per cent increase in the number of visitors, according to the vicepresident of the institution, Angeles Muñoz, who held a meeting with head of the hotel owners association, Aehcos, Jose Carlos Escribano.

“These figures represent the establishment of the Costa del Sol as a strong destination,

especially for the quality brought about by public institutions and the private hotel sector,” said Muñoz, who continued: “We will continue to boost lesser-known tourism fields, such as nautical, active and nature tourism.”

Escribano believed the tourist season was far from being over. “From a professional point of view, the season began in May and will finish in October.” he said.

Boogie baby SO FAR 1,135 pupils have signed up for classes at Benalmadena’s municipal music and dance school, which has included music for babies as a new activity and will be starting classes tomorrow, Friday 11.

Property sales on the up in Malaga

LA LINEA Council is holding meetings with local cabbies in an attempt to reach agreements to adapt more taxis for the disabled. State regulations require at least 5 per cent of fleets be adapted.

STATISTCIS seem to confirm the construction sector’s recovery in Malaga Province.

Data provided by the National Statistics Institute (INE), published this week, show that Malaga registered more than 2,228 property transactions in July, which represents 14.5 per cent more than the same month in 2014. The figure, slightly better than the regional and national averages, has been credited as the best result registered since July 2008.

July’s figures consolidate the positive trend associated with the sector and represent the best result registered so far this year. With some exceptions, Malaga Province has been seeing positive results since March 2013, when property sales registered their lowest point at only 915 transactions.

Children likely to go hungry MALAGA’S meal guarantee scheme has now ended

SCHOOL MEALS: Children will still have a hot lunch but no tea or breakfast bag.

By Eleanor Hawkins CHILDREN at risk of social exclusion have lost their right to three meals per day with the start of the new school year today (Thursday 10).

As the new year starts for primary and infant schools in the province, Malaga’s meal guarantee scheme has ended and children will only have access to school lunches, which start today.

For the 2014-2015 school year, snack bags were not delivered to needy city young-

and Caritas charity, which approved an emergency budget to provide 1,311 three to 12 year-olds in the city with a hot meal at lunchtime and bags with food for tea and breakfast.

Although summer schools and camps ended at the end of August, the schemes continued into this month to ensure the children didn’t go hungry, yet now that school has started the schemes have been cancelled.

While the children will have their hot lunch there is no fixed date for tea and breakfast bag deliveries to start.

Improvements for old alley WORK on Callejon de la Cruz Colora alleyway in Casares, one of the jobs most requested in recent years by local residents, has been completed leaving it in tip-top condition and easier to walk along. After the old, deteriorated surface was removed, new water pipes and drainage systems were installed before a new surface was

laid with local stone with the steepest slopes being given shallow steps and handrails.

Cruz Colora, the council reported, was one of the few remaining alleyways in the village in need of improvement, along with one between Calle Barrio Bajo and Calle Barrio Alto which is due to be worked on in the near future.

More car parks for Malaga MALAGA Council wants to resume the construction of municipal car parks in the city. The financial crisis slowed down the implementation pace of these works due to the low amount of finished spaces sold.

There are those that consider these types of infrastructures detrimental to the use of public transport, but the Municipal Parking and Services Association (SMASSA) affirmed that “the new spaces will reduce environmental pollution by reducing drivers’ travelling time.”

SMASSA is currently working on a strategic plan to allocate the new facilities, that are expected to be present in Malaga’s 11 districts, including the historical centre.

City residents have had enough PAVEMENTS ‘resemble obstacle courses’

By Eleanor Hawkins FOLLOWING what has been deemed a chaotic fair, residents in Malaga City centre have finally had enough of pavements resembling obstacle courses and are threatening to take the matter to court.

In a written complaint delivered to the council’s Commerce Department, Centro Antiguo residents’ association has demanded that regulations regarding pavement occupation by bars and restaurants are enforced.

The council, the association claims, turns a blind eye to many offenders, leading to pavements taken over by terraces, tables, blackboards and awnings, turning the area into a hostile, charmless place where pedestrians’ rights are of little importance.

The situation, the association complains, is particularly bad in Calles Molina Lario, Angel, Strachan, Plaza del Siglo and Plaza de la Constitucion, where it claims various businesses take over pavements to meet their needs with no licences or authorisation.

Association president Ester Ramirez said: “Businesses do whatever they like with no re-

Buses blamed for oil spills MARBELLA Local Police have discovered what is behind many accidents on a bend on Avenida Canovas del Castillo.

Investigations by the council have paid off, and there is now enough evidence to confirm that oil stains on the bend, which have caused many motorbike accidents, were caused by urban buses run by company Portillo.

The fire brigade had already pointed the finger at the buses, claiming they probably lost oil on the slope and bend, leaving

dangerous stains.

On Thursday (September 3), Local Police officers stopped one of the buses after spotting it leaking oil. A Portillo representative was called to the scene, and explained that it was possible that some of the buses could spill oil while going uphill.

While the council filed an official report against Portillo and said that from now on the company will be held responsible for any accidents in the area, Portillo announced it would change the offending vehicles.

Man jailed for selling drugs A MALAGA Provincial Court has jailed a man for three years and one day for a crime against public health for selling drugs from his wheelchair.

to a man in January 2012.

After searching the wheelchair the officers found a bottle containing 75 small packets of cocaine worth an estimated €508 on the black market.

By Eleanor Hawkins TELEFONICA has promised to expand the fibre-optic broadband network to all cities or towns above 1,000 residents and guaranteed universal 4G network coverage in 2020, as stated last Thursday in Santander by Luis Miguel Gilperez, Head of Telefonica España.

However, this promise relies on the approval of the project by the National Competition and Markets Commission (CNMC) and on conditions met so that Telefonica is not at a disadvantage with other operators.

Telefonica has estimated a total cost of around €1.4 million for the works to be carried out, going from 14 million homes that currently have access to fibre-optic broadband to a total of 28 million. On top of that, there is an in-house €250 installation fee that new users will have to pay if they want to subscribe.

Gilperez emphasised that “with these unprecedented expansion works, Spain will be the first country to put an end to the geographically-dependant digital divide by having Ultra-Wideband connectivity in all relevant towns and cities and state-of-the-art mobile broadband network for all of its clients.

Caring for your child’s vision THE sooner problems are detected, the better the outcome

CHILDREN’S EYESIGHT: Not being able to see in a busy classroom can be confusing.

STUDIES show that at least 20% of children have unidentified visual problems, which is why ophthalmologists recommend regular eye tests for children from an early age until 18.

Global optical group Specsavers Opticas are advising that as the school year begins, all children should have an eye test to ensure any problems are identified and rectified before they start to affect their lives.

This is crucial as in the early stages of learning more than 80% of the learning process relies on vision.

“Most very young children have their eyesight assessed as part of their routine developmental checks.

“While these are very important, a thorough, complete eye test by a qualified optician is also recommended at an early age,” explained Francisco

Manuel Jurado, a Director of Specsavers Opticas.

“Testing before your child starts full-time education means any problems they may have are identified early, setting them up for a happy and fulfilling school life.

can cause learning and behavioural problems, which might be blamed on other things. This is especially true for young children, who may find it difficult to explain the difficulties they are having with their eye-

sight and may not even be aware they have a problem at all.

The sooner vision problems are detected, the better the outcome. Conditions such as squint and amblyopia (lazy eye) can be treated more effectively if they are picked up early and referred to a specialist, making a huge difference to your child.”

Specsavers Opticas operate on the Costa del Sol and throughout Spain.

Specsavers Opticas are offering free Back to School eye tests for children to ensure that parents are aware if there are any issues with their children’s eyes they can seek treatment before it creates an impact on their learning.

This year is the fifth anniversary of Marbella 4Days Walking. Last year about 2,000 walkers from 19 nationalities participated, made up of mainly Dutch, Irish, Spanish, Danish and British people.

Most of them come to Marbella just for the event.

“A lot of our participants come from abroad and tend to stay a week in Marbella or the surrounding area. They come to walk but also to enjoy a holiday. October is normally a quiet month for tourism and with Marbella 4Days Walking we attract thousands of people,” said organiser Hans Wohl.

He added: “The walkers normally come with friends or family, not all of them join in the walking, they just come to have a good time in Marbella.”

A special campaign has been

Marbella 4Days Walking takes place on October 8, 9, 10 and 11. Every day offers a different route of 20 or 30 kilometres, so people can choose the amount of days they want to participate. On Saturday and Sunday there are special routes of six kilometres for children.

These days are not only about walking; there will also be the Marbella 4Days Fiesta. Every day there will be live music between 12pm and 5pm at Las Terrazas del Puerto Deportivo, the same place as the start and finish line of all routes.

During the evenings, starting at 9pm, there will be dance shows and live music at the Plaza de la Iglesia in the old city centre.

Ronda fathers in mourning seek to find the truth CHILDHOOD friends both died on the road

By Eleanor Hawkins TWO men from Ronda whose sons were childhood friends in their 20s, and died on the road within five months of each other, are searching for witnesses to help clarify why their sons died.

Guillermo Gomez’s son Raul died on the A-355 road between Coin and Marbella at 6.10pm on May 12, 2014 while trying out a motorbike he wanted to buy.

Although a radar registered a speed of under 50 kilometres per hour and Gomez said he was an experienced rider, Raul suffered serious injuries and later bled to death after hitting the side of a van.

Although the road is a busy one and at that time of

day workers were probably on their way home, no witnesses have come forward apart from the driver of the van.

“We need more information, somebody must have seen something. The witness said my son was in the wrong lane but there are many contradictions and it’s easy to lay the blame on someone who isn’t here to defend himself,” Gomez said.

Less than five months earlier, on December 28, 2013, Raul’s friend Carlos died after his car was sent flying by a speeding vehicle on the A357 between Campillos and Malaga. While his two sisters, who were also in the car, survived the crash, Carlos was killed instantly.

His father, Carlos Ruiz, has complained that although the Guardia Civil reported that the other vehicle was travelling at between 179 and 217 kilometres per hour on a road with a 100 kmh limit, the case is not being dealt with as a criminal one, and the other driver is still behind the wheel although on the day of the crash he had no insurance or MOT and his tyres were almost bald.

Carlos and Guillermo have both asked for citizen collaboration to help clear up their doubts regarding the accidents. Although they don’t blame the other drivers, they said, they want justice and hope if witnesses come forward it will help them find out what really happened.

Orthostatic Tremor explained THE little-known and often misdiagnosed condition means sufferers are able to walk but not stand still SEPTEMBER is Orthostatic Tremor Awareness Month. Most doctors haven’t heard of the condition, let alone members of the general public, yet for those who develop it, it’s a very real, life-limiting condition that is hard to explain to others.

While the small number of people who develop OT around midlife can walk quite well at a brisk pace, once they slow down or try to stand still their legs are unable to hold them up.

Orthostatic Tremor (OT)) means weight-bearing tremor, a high-speed muscular tremor that begins the minute sufferers slow down or stand still, making legs weak and unsteady. First identified in 1984 by Dr Kenneth Heilman (USA), it’s been compared to riding a bicycle: you’re fine when you’re riding along, wobbly when you slow down and unable to stand upright on two wheels.

People who see someone with OT walking along have trouble understanding why they can’t just stop for a chat, and sufferers find receptions, buffets or queues mostly impossible to endure, as well as carrying heavy items or extending arms to

perform a task. An obvious suggestion might be to use a wheelchair, but who would use a wheelchair when they can walk? Yet sometimes it is unavoidable.

OT has been confused with restless leg syndrome and it’s been called shaky legs syndrome. But mostly it’s been misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all.

Neurologist Dr Diego Torres-Russotto, lead investigator in a series of clinical studies, is currently running the largest OT study ever conducted with more than 50 participants.

Although rare disorders including OT do not tend to attract the kind of research funding other more common conditions do, sufferers have found solidarity through a website (see below) and hope one day research will unlock where in the brain it originates and how to treat it.

In the meantime, they continue to walk briskly and to always be on the lookout for a place to sit!

Shelter asks council to pay up for maintenance costs A HORSE refuge has started proceedings to force Alhaurin de la Torre Council to pay maintenance bills for horses it

took in during the 2010 floods.

The CyD Santa Maria shelter, based in Alhaurin el Grande, took in 21 horses from

a country property in the Santa Amalia area when it was hit by floods. A judge gave permission for its staff to enter the private property and save the horses, which were at risk of drowning, and established that they would be cared for at the shelter but the council would have to cover the costs.

Virginia Solera from the shelter said it was unable to cope with caring for 21 horses at once as it hardly receives any funding and relies on fostering systems. “The council paid the first four bills but nothing since and now owes us about €20,000,” Solera said.

The centre has now recovered from its difficulties and, thanks to private donations and assistance, cares for more than 60 horses, but at the time came close to having to shut down, she explained.

Meanwhile, the council insisted that it had done its best to meet the judge’s excessive demands.

Smoking deaths rising ESTIMATED that 50 per cent of people who smoke will die from smoking

Better service FUENGIROLA Council has announced that garden refuse collection from the five official points in the Torreblanca area is to be increased to include Sundays and holidays.

Local needs RESIDENTS from Calles Gardenia and Magnolia in Benalmadena Pueblo held a meeting last week with the Health and Services councillors to discuss locals’ needs and requests which included improvements to road surfaces.

TOBACCO CONSUMPTION: Is related to more than 25 different illnesses.

By Maria José Fernandez THE most recent data on smoking trends in Spain has showed that even though the number of smokers has decreased, deaths related to smoking continue to rise.

In 2012, Spain reached its highest peak of mortality rates, with 60,465 deaths, a staggering 166 victims per day and 15.23 per cent of the total in Spain. The data was released in a study ‘Impact of tobacco consumption on the mortality in Spain in

2012,’ recently published in the magazine Medicina Clinica, and conducted by experts at the Carlos III University in Madrid.

The contradiction between the decrease in smoker numbers and the increase in deaths is caused, according to the experts, because the deadly effects of tobacco appear more than 30 years after someone starts to smoke.

However, since 2003, when 28.1 per cent of people in Spain above 16 years old were smokers, the number has registered a clear

negative trend. Tobacco consumption is related to more than 25 different illnesses and is responsible for 85 per cent of all cases of lung cancer (and 30 per cent of deaths); for 75 per cent of chronic bronchitis and 25 per cent of heart conditions.

Smokers present a risk for sudden death of between two and four times higher than a non-smoker. The Spanish association against cancer estimates that 50 per cent of people who smoke regularly will die due to tobacco consumption.

GOURMET MARKET in Marbella getting an average of 700 visitors a day

While Spaniards are more drawn to Iberian hams, the beer cellar and high quality canned goods, the French opt for oysters and Champagne, and Britons for refreshing white wines and Andalucian tapas. Central Europeans are drawn to first-class signature cheeses and homecooked Spanish meals, northern visitors go for organic products and Russians for meat, fish and seafood, while Arabs, mostly Muslims, snap up food compatible with their own unique style including halal meat and recipes without pork.

Community effort brings a big donation for a worthy cause AGE CARE’S charity shop raises €20,000 for Cudeca hospice

By Eleanor Hawkins THANKS to a €20,000 donation from Age Care Association, Cudeca is going to be able to install a new nurse call system.

The funds, raised at Age Care’s charity shop, will enable Cudeca to replace call alarms and lighting systems at its 10-year-old hospice inpatient unit.

Age Care President Syd Weldon and Treasurer Liz Scott presented a cheque for the generous amount to Susan Hannam, Vice-president of Cudeca’s board of trustees. They were accompanied by volunteers who were happy to know they had helped raise funds for another worthy cause along with funding Age Care’s own welfare work within the community, mainly thanks to generous donations of clothes, books and bric-a-brac regularly handed in to the shop in El Zoco, Calahonda.

RDMCs go the extra mile for Olivia’s FOLLOWING the opening of Elliot Wright’s restaurant Olivia’s in La Cala de Mijas, it is incredible to see the state-of-the-art transformation of the old Mijas Playa building that was undertaken

by RDMCs Glass Manufacturers.

The project had a very tight timescale in which to complete the work, and with August being a sleepy month for many companies, RDMCs pulled out all the stops and made sure that they were ahead of the game and on the ball, with organisation on site during the heat of the summer in order to complete the project on time.

The project was not just a mere facelift, but Olivia’s underwent a major reform, walls and floors were stripped back to their basics to make way for a brand new stainless steel and glass facia

STATE-OF-THE-ART: RDMCs transform Olivia’s. with glass curtains surrounding the restaurant.

The end result was spectacular, and Elliot himself commented on the professional approach given by RDMCs as he remarked: “The timescale that we had was delayed but RDMCs delivered the work well inside

the timescale despite the many obstacles that we had.

I can’t thank them enough for what an amazing job they did, even though many work days had been cut down. Although I was not on site all of the time, the work went ahead and I am over the moon with the result.”

MALLORCA

A 52-YEAR-OLD Englishwoman was arrested by Guardia Civil officers in Orgiva (Axarquia) on September 3, on suspicion of using the Spanish postal service to send marihuana to England.

The first consignment was stopped at Granada Central Post Office as long ago as February, when staff suspected that the package contained drugs. Authority was obtained to open the package, and 54 grams of marihuana was found inside it.

The authorities alerted the post office in Orgiva of what had happened, but officers found that the return address on the package was false. A second parcel, this time containing 50 grams of the drug, was intercepted in June and investigators commenced enquiries to try to identify the sender. When officers finally arrested the woman they found evidence that she had sent three further parcels from the post office in Almuñecar, as well as 2,742gms of marihuana and two cannabis plants at her home.

Your personality may be in the hot seat when applying for a bank loan Loose change Jane Plunkett A look at finance for females IN the music movie ‘Once’ the main characters bring a recording of a song they wrote into a bank manager’s office in an effort to woo him into giving them a loan for a studio recording session.

More traditionally, however, those seeking credit tend to put on some respectable-looking clothes and just smile politely at the bank manager in the hope of securing a mortgage, a car loan or other credit. But all this may be about to change. A smart blouse or tie may no longer cut it when it comes to scoring some extra cash. Banks are now looking at getting customers to do a personality test if they want to borrow money.

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

PERSONALITY TESTS: Are already commonly used in the workplace. late the chances of borrowers failing to pay back a loan. As well as the regular routine credit checks, it looks like applicants in the

near future will also be told to answer a series of questions to examine their attitudes toward others, sense of honesty, integrity and

general beliefs about society.

Sample type statement questions that you’ll need to give a rating to if seeking a loan in the next few years may include: - My goals in life are clear.

- If people are rude I shrug it off.

- I can work even when things are disorganised.

- I prefer working in a stable rather than flexible environment.

- It’s better to get the job done than aim for perfection.

Apparently, the answers given to such statement questions are fed into a special computer programme, which then analyses just how trustworthy, or otherwise, a customer might seem to be. Depending on how well one does on this test could then influence whether a loan is given or not!

These types of tests are already commonly used in the workplace. Human resources often use them when hiring staff to assess their potential weaknesses and strengths, but now your bank wants to delve deeper into your personality too!

We could be importing a Trojan horse IF Jihadists invaded UK shores, where would migrants’ allegiances lie?

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT AN interesting reaction by the Spanish police in Gandia last week. After arresting a woman for allegedly trying to recruit other females to fight for ISIS, they cuffed her and paraded her down the street fully burka’d up.

Personally I think they should have kept going all the way to the airport and shoved her on a plane to Syria. With a bit of luck she’d have been ‘martyred’ in a week.

The problem I have with all this migrant business is that the majority of those wishing to cross into European countries are mainly pretty fit and able-looking young men; presumably running away from the various battles that plague their countries.

I’m sure if the UK was being overrun by alien forces, most of the true Brit young men would be fighting to the death to preserve it. Fighting on the beaches, in the hills and so forth. Not so this lot, it seems.

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

I wonder, if we do let them all in (which in my opinion would be a disastrous mistake), and one day we find the Jihadists landing in the shadow of the White Cliffs

of Dover, would they all then fight for the country that gave them sanctuary? Somehow I doubt it. Faced with the murderers who terrified them in the first place, I for

one am pretty certain where their allegiances would finish up.

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

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

I also see they also recently arrested another woman and family just before she managed to cross into Syria. Apparently they’re shipping them all back to the UK. Oh good! Yet another bunch of disgruntled potential terrorists walking the streets of the UK. I dunno, sometimes I really do despair of it all.

OPINION & COMMENT

When Dave met Mariano COSY LOVE-IN: Mariano Rajoy and David Cameron discussed UK relations with the EU.

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

Although Aragon, Murcia and Castilla-La Mancha have problems the Valencian Community, which is €37.615 billion in the red is the worst-off.

They can thank the pharaonic projects and the inflated self-esteem of Eduardo Zaplana and Gerardo Camps for that. Possibly Camps’ successor Alberto Fabra would have embarked on equally magnificent projects but he took over when the crisis was at its height and his wings were clipped.

Spain’s president Mariano Rajoy has spent much of his four years in office complaining about the legacy left by the socialists and it will be interesting to see how he reacts to similar rumblings from regions gov-

MARIANO RAJOY and Britain’s prime minister David Cameron had a cosy love-in recently, discussing UK relations with the EU amongst other topics. Spain’s president was at a clear advantage because he is able to blame everything that is wrong in this country on his predecessors.

Cameron on the other hand, also blames everything on his predecessors, but has to govern a nation that is determined to blame everything on Brussels.

Double standards REGIONAL governments that took over after last May’s elections have inherited massive debts.

In good company EX-PRESIDENT Felipe Gonzalez was ridiculed by Catalan separatists for suggesting a negotiated solution to the independence issue. Gonzalez was also ridiculed in Venezuela for wanting to represent political prisoners. So that’s one way of linking Artur Mas and Nicolas Maduro, anyway.

erned by the PP until last May. So far all they have received are promises of less money and admonitions to stop making excuses.

A violent solution THE jihadist disarmed by three American passengers on a Paris train had lived in Spain.

Another jihadist immigrant from San Martin de la Vega (Madrid) who was planning attacks in Spain has a partner whose five brothers went to fight in Syria.

Forget New Year - September’s the time to make that fresh start!

A TIME of fresh starts, self-evaluation and, for travel operators, the inevitable post-holiday complaints!

EVER felt that September is the true start of the New Year - and not January? The time when, after the long summer break, kids return to school and adults to work. So much so that, when I still lived and worked in the UK, I used to think of the day after the August Bank Holiday weekend as ‘back to school for adults.’

September always felt like a new start because of the change in routine (at least if you were in school or had kids in school). A time of fresh starts, self-evaluation and, for travel operators, the inevitable post-holiday complaints. Like some of the following

HAPPY HOLIDAYS: Some people do nothing but complain.

Complaints from British tourists about Spain are particularly telling.

that do nothing to dispel the cliché that we Brits are a nation of whingers!

One woman on a Celebrity Cruise ship demanded a full refund because

she didn’t see any celebrities on board and said the company was guilty of ‘false advertising’ due to the lack of stars. For another on a Mediterranean cruise, the sea was too loud and the cabins should be ‘better soundproofed against the noise of the sea.’

Complaints from British tourists about Spain are particularly telling.

For some, there are ‘too many Spanish people.’ ‘The receptionist speaks Spanish; the food’s Spanish.’ ‘The street signs weren’t in English. How can anyone get around?’ ‘There are too many foreigners.’ ‘We bought ‘Ray-Ban’ sunglasses for €5 from a looky looky man, but they were fake.’

Others complained their holidays were spoiled because ‘the beach was too sandy’ and ‘no-one told us there’d be fish in the sea; the children were startled.’ ‘It should be explained in brochures that the local store doesn’t

sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts and local shopkeepers shouldn’t be lazy and close in the afternoons because I often needed to buy things during ‘siesta’ time.’

‘Topless sunbathing should be banned!’ for one angry wife whose ‘holiday was ruined - my husband spent all day ogling women.’

Good grief! What’s up with these guys? I’d be more than happy to wait for shops to open late for some regional pastries to eat on that sandy beach. Because it would mean I WAS having a holiday! (Handsome hunks, an extra bonus!)

IS should be using ancient sites as refuges, not bombing them HOW stupid are the leaders of Islamic State (IS)? If they had any common sense at all they would be using these World Heritage Sites as safe havens, knowing full well that no-one is going to bomb them into oblivion!

They c o u l d a l so c a rry Wo rld Heritage priceless artifacts on the roof-racks of their vehicles when travelling between safe havens, or perhaps a couple of dozen copies of the Koran in full view.

Who wo u l d d a r e t o in c u r th e wrath of the rest of the Muslim world by deliberately targeting these?

We know that the leaders of the fight against Islamic State have no compunction against the collateral damage of women and children in drone attacks on real estate or vehicles, apart from public wringing of hands (and shaking of hands in private). But publicly damage a Koran?

Keith Hallam (By email)

Off the mark I WOULD be very interested to know how Colin Bird can make such a ludicrous statement as he does, when listing the criteria he feels that ex-pats will follow when voting in the EU referendum.

In pa r t i c u l a r i t e m 3 – q u o te “The L I E t h a t t h e y w ill b e cu t adrift should Britain leave”! How does he know that we will NOT be cut adrift?

Has he been privy to Government plans for us ex-pats should we withdraw from the EU? I very much doubt that even the Government has given this any thought to date.

Be in no doubt, based on past performance, his statement will likely be way off the mark. Where savings are to be made, such as for healthcare and annual pension increases for ex-pats, they will be made! What will that be if not being ‘cut adrift’? No problem for those who can afford to pay for private healthcare and to live on a frozen pension, or indeed who are working. Not so for the many pen-

Female only?

AS you know, under the sanitary regulations, section 26, any user is entitled to see the ‘Libro de registro y control’. I made this request and was shown the 2014 book.

I asked to see the 2015 version but was told this was done on loose sheets of paper. The sheets were just in a pile, not filed or stamped. Does anyone know if this complies with the regulations?

Robert Peake, Mijas (Malaga)

IN this PC non-sexual discrimination age, having female-only carriages cannot work to their benef i t . One can now deci de at a m om ent ’s whi m whet her one wants to be male or female.

They don’t have to wear male or female designated clothing, or use male or female designated names, nor have had any or ongoing gender reassignment.

All one has to say if challenged is that they are now to be classed as whatever they deem suitable at that time.

Simple! Or a male could just wear a burka (carry a lightweight one in the briefcase). Who will dare to challenge that?

Keith Hallam, travelling Europe (By email)

Road confusion sioners in a less fortunate position.

We have no choice but to make our voices heard and vote to stay in the EU. The last thing we would want is to be competing with hundreds of thousands of other expats to sell our homes, in order to move back to the UK. Would the G o v ern men t rea lly w a nt us a ll landing on their doorstep?

Don’t fix it!

I READ Leapy’s column in the Euro Weekly News but don’t always agree with what he says.

However, most of the time we are on the same wavelength. As for interfering in world politics, my grandparents always said: “If it ain’t broke, don’t need fixing!”

And I guess that applies to the

It’s great, really, Blair making millions out of being a warmonger, allegedly. Keep the faith.

Greig Stewart (By email)

Real asset ON Tuesday afternoon I called and made an appointment to meet Jackie at 9.30am the following morning.

She was there exactly at 9.30, greeted us with a big smile, and proceeded to show us our previous advertising from some time ago.

She had done her research really well! Instead of a small ad to run for four weeks, she gently persuaded us to take out a larger one for 12 weeks.

She was extremely helpful with advice on wording and layout, and is easily the most effective sales rep we have met over the years.

She is a real asset to EWN, and it was great to meet someone who really cares.

Many thanks, Norman (By email)

Get tough!

HOW I love reading Leapy Lee’s column, I wish more people were less hypocritical and would say what they felt.

With regards to his article about ISIS, a regiment similar to the Selous Scouts should be formed. I have just finished reading their book, lent to me by a former member. An amazing read about the the most feared regiment ever.

I HAVE been reading the David Searl articles on driving in Spain and all the misunderstandings, differences of opinion, and confusions that appears to be here on the Spanish roads.

Everyone I ask seems to be a barstool expert on the matter.

Is there a definitive website or government office where one can seek a concrete answer to questions?

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) You will be ready and waiting for whatever you've organised. Then, without warning, you could have to backtrack or make other plans - you might even encounter some undeserved criticism. But no matter what happens, the weekend will definitely make up for any workaday muddles. Meanwhile, if you're a mixer and mingler, you'll be swept off your feet.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) As you top up your spirits with some extra ideas, don't be surprised if a couple of items drop out of sight. If you seriously want to minimise niggles and hassles, then ask friends or relatives to lend a hand. It's a great week for togetherness, so ensure that you celebrate in style.

so don't even think about doing everything single-handedly.

Cooking, hosting and being all things to everyone shouldn't be your version of the perfect week.

Teamwork is the way forward, so take the lead and be sure that everyone gets happily involved.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) The more you can offload, the happier you'll be. As you attract kindred spirits, you'll be able to look forward to the weekend whirl with family and friends. In the leadup to the weekend, try to be patient with those who seem to be pulled in other directions. The weekend sets the scene for a useful exchange of ideas.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Good news should come your way this week. Regardless of how you mark it, you'll be surrounded by caring hearts. Sunday is one of two this year associated with journeys, homely connections and good fortune. Despite some workaday hassles your efforts will be well starred.

Just be Leo-proud that you've got what it takes to make things tick.

Unfortunately you can't afford to assume that everything will run to time.

8. Dublin Visitors to Dublin need to be up for the craic (crack) which in its simplest form refers to pleasure and enjoyment which is something that abounds in Ireland’s capital. The Irish have a history of the arts and romanticism which can be seen everywhere in Dublin. Enjoy the 360° panoramic view of the city from the Gravity Bar at the top of the Guinness Storehouse whilst you drink your Black Velvet, and don’t forget to visit Love Lane in Temple Bar. 9. Copenhagen Regularly voted as the happiest city in Europe, Copenhagen has much to offer to the romantic visitor. Provided that you book months in advance, you can eat at the best restaurant in the world, Noma. The city is undoubtedly ‘cute’ with its Royal Guards in bearskins at the Amalienborg Palace, the Little Mermaid at the Langelinie promenade and the attractions of Tivoli Gardens but it is a friendly, thriving city that welcomes everyone.

10. Edinburgh Not necessarily an obvious choice in the romantic category, Edinburgh is a true city of culture and has many hidden surprises for those intent on an enjoyable and romantic time, although it is probably best to only visit the Edinburgh Festival for the arts as it may be too busy for romance.

watch the moon rise above the splendid harbour with its superyachts and reminisce over the love story between the beautiful Grace Kelly and slightly less attractive Prince Rainier.

5. Dubrovnik The entire city of Dubrovnik is a UNESCO World Heritage site. As one of the best preserved medieval cities in the world dating back to the 16th century, you can see why it is sometimes called the Jewel of the Adriatic. Dubrovnik’s astonishing medieval and fairytale like appearance even makes the phrase ‘city of romance,’ an understatement.

6. Rome The eternal city just oozes history and romance but it’s also quite sexy. Listen to the dulcet tones of the flirting Italians whilst you picture Anita Ekberg wading through the Trevi Fountain and Audrey Hepburn on the back of a Vespa with Gregory Peck.

Although Ancient Rome had its circuses it was also known for the sexed up inhabitants and if you have been too naughty, you can always visit the Vatican City where there is bound to be a confessional open!

One night, Blomkvist receives a phone call from a man claiming to have information of vital importance to the United States.

The source reported to have come in contact with a female hacker, someone Blomkvist knows too well.

He then turns to Salander for her help.

Together, they will begin a journey to unveil a mystery tangled with spies, cybercriminals and governments, risking their lives if necessary.

1. Paris Visit the Wall of Love in Place des Abbesses as you can no longer add love locks to any of the Parisian Bridges. Over 600 tiles are imprinted with the words ‘I love you’ in all the languages of the world.

Great food, drink and architecture and despite the fact that some Parisians can be stand offish, most of them love a lover, even if you don’t speak French!

2. Venice Ignore the tourists and the smell in St Mark’s Square and if you don’t take a gondola, you can picture the great lover Casanova flirting with courtesans at masked balls in 18th century Venice. Nowadays the elegant hotels are more discreet even though there is one narrow passageway called the Calle del Bezzo, which translates roughly as alley of kisses.

3. Barcelona Although a very busy major city, where you have to be careful of pickpockets, Barcelona still offers many romantic options such as the colourful Fountains of Montjuic and Parc Guell designed by inspired architect Antoni Gaudi. This vibrant city offers fantastic beach options and has a large gay population.

Wanted suspect surrenders

Getting ready for election

IT was a very mixed few days for the Gibraltar football team taking part in the Euro 2016 qualifying rounds. They lost a creditable 4-0 to the Republic of Ireland, but suffered their biggest loss so far to Poland 8-1. At least they have doubled the number of goals scored in the competition which has to be encouraging.

ROBERT MORTBY, 28, from London who was on the UK National Crime Agency most wanted list, surrendered to police on September 2 in Gibraltar and appeared in court three days later where he agreed to be extradited to the UK. He has been living in Mijas but travelled to Gibraltar in order to surrender himself in a British territory.’

THE Gibraltar Social Democrats have announced that they will present their candidates for the forthcoming general election in early October regardless of whether the election has been called by then. Prospective candidates who are party members need to be quick as the closing date is set for midday on Monday September 21.

Paloma breaks the Faith Featureflash shutterstock

ALIENATED audience with two little words - ‘Hola España’

PALOMA FAITH: Despite the unfortunate incident, the festival was a great success.

By John Smith APPEARING on stage at the Gibraltar Music Festival, one of the main attractions, Paloma Faith managed to alienate the entire audience with two little words ‘Hola España.’

The reaction from the crowd on Saturday September 6 was an immediate round of boos and jeers, especially as Gibraltar National Day was due to be celebrated just a few days later.

Although born in London, her father is Spanish which may explain her other observation that ‘It’s great to be in a place

that’s half English and half Spanish’ which was also poorly received and it was only after her second song that someone came on stage and explained the mistakes that she had made.

Known as a somewhat eccentric performer, she is reported to have spent the next five minutes or so apologising in a somewhat confused manner for her mistake.

After her performance ended without further problems, she issued two tweets to her followers who number over 500,000.

The first stated ‘If I offended anyone tonight in Gibraltar about their heritage,

I’m sorry I come in peace! I only bring love’.

The second tweet said ‘I just wish that people could be kinder to one another and more compassionate and forgiving.

There’s too much anger in the world already’.

Whilst many were prepared to accept her apology, others tweeted angrily that she had ‘insulted an entire population’ and ‘It was not a mistake it was a complete lack of tact and respect. No excuses.’

Apart from this unfortunate incident, the sell-out festival which attracted an audience of 14,000 was a great success.

Accused of discrimination ALTHOUGH born in Morocco, an individual in his early 30s who has lived in Gibraltar since he was a baby is challenging in the courts a decision to expel him.

According to documents submitted to the court, the individual has a criminal record and has given the authorities reason

to believe that he poses a risk to public safety and public order. For these reasons, immigration officials cancelled his permit of residence and required that he be sent to Morocco.

This whole matter raises questions concerning past immigration decisions which

are now considered to possibly be discriminatory. There is a legal opinion that the decision puts the man’s constitutional rights in jeopardy and he has not been granted British nationality through his residency because of past restrictions on ‘incomers’ from Morocco.

I HAVE been involved in dog training for over 55 years during which time I have used methods that I was taught in the Israeli Police and some which I invented for my own working systems.

All those involved in the UK canine industry really have to thank the late Barbara Woodhouse who in the 1960s/70s introduced dog training with her famous phrase ‘Walkies’ and in my opinion Barbara, a pioneer, was a passive trainer.

Prior to Barbara Woodhouse, 90 per cent of dogs were yard/garden dogs living outside, not in a kennel.

During the 80s Roger Mugford, a renowned zoologist, introduced the head collar called the ‘Halti’ which was a new method of controlling dogs to walk to heel, similar to a horse halter.

Everyone has a lot to thank Roger for and his idea is now copied throughout the world. Many in the industry including myself laughed at the idea of walking a dog on a head collar. Like everything in life, there is

progress, the Halti was an ethos into the canine training industry.

Over the past 25 years there have been many new concepts and studies and as a result more positive reinforcement training has been used to educate people who have pets. We now know through studies that dogs are not pack animals! It has been proven that many of their genes are not those of a wolf. There are no pack rules, we should raise dogs as we raise children, and our dogs should also go to a school.

I am aware of the type of training methods used by Cesar Millan, the Mexican in the USA who has many TV shows, which include using electric collars and tapping the dog’s body and feet with his foot which appears to people as if he is kicking the dog. Cesar’s system unfortunately is now completely out of date and he is selftaught. He says he never hurts the animals, only touches them lightly.

In the The Mail on Sunday, Cesar robustly defends his methods. “I am not brutal or cruel to animals,” he insists. ‘My mission has always been to save dogs especially troubled and abandoned dogs. I have dedicated my life to this. My new TV series is all about saving shelter dogs and rehabilitating them so they can be adopted by good families.”

To be continued next week...

IT may not seem a major driving issue, but a commonly asked question on the N332 website is “do I need to carry a spare pair of glasses in my car?”

The law regarding drivers with glasses to always carry a spare pair has been modified and last December a document was published by the DGT called ‘Consejos y Normas de Seguridad’ to give drivers some advice during their travels. In point 5.4 you can read the following: ‘Si utiliza gafas graduadas es aconsejable (ADVISABLE) llevar unas de repuesto’ (If you use prescription glasses, it is advisable to carry a spare pair).

So it is not compulsory to carry a spare pair in your car, but remember that you must wear glasses if you need them, all the time.

Therefore you cannot be fined for not carrying a spare pair of glasses, but you could be fined if

your glasses are broken and you are driving without them, which is why the DGT says it is advisable to carry a spare pair.

End of summer road campaigns Last weekend saw the end of the summer road campaigns with ‘Retorno del verano’ marking the start of travellers returning from their holiday destinations along the cost.

Running from last Friday at 3pm to midnight on Sunday, the authorities reported an expected 5.9 million vehicle movements during the weekend.

To ensure the safe flow of movement, 10,000 traffic officers from the Guardia Civil were on duty supported by an army of engineers, technicians and traffic management staff throughout the country.

GLASSES: Better to carry a spare pair.

Can I drive a car that I don’t own?

In your article of August 27 you stated that an official Spanish resident was not permitted to own and operate a UK-plated car in Spain. My question is: Can I legally drive a UK-plated car not Yes, an official resident of Spain may legally drive a foreign-registered car on Spanish roads, as long as he does not own the vehicle. Let’s suppose that your cousin from the UK is spending the summer with you in Spain. Sometimes you use his car to run errands. This is perfectly legal. You should keep a signed note of permission from the owner in the car.

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

David Searl You and the Law in Spain

You should keep a signed note of permission from the owner of the car.

S.H. (Costa Blanca) If you have a plan to use the UK car in Spain for long periods there are two points to keep in mind. First, the owner of the UK car cannot stay in Spain more than six months in a calendar year.

Second, many UK insurance companies place a time limit on how long the insured car can be outside the UK. They may also check the driver using the car is registered on the policy.

May I see the third room first, please?

THIRD-TIME lucky at hotel check-in Mike Senker

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man SO you have just finished a long, tiresome journey and all you want to do is check into your hotel and chill for a bit.

You get to check-in and give them your passport, credit card, booking reference, car number (I usually make that bit up as it’s a hire car and I can’t be bothered to go check it). You then start the hike to your room, which is usually as far from Reception as can be.

You open the door and there it is - the smallest room you have ever seen and a view of the air-conditioning units on the car park roof.

This is where the fun begins! It’s 3 o’clock, it’s check-in time so you know it’s not because you are late. Off I go back to Reception.

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

look ….err, erm, let me check if they have been serviced,” replies the receptionist.

Yes, sir, we can move you... there is a choice. Would you like to see them?” he asks. “Yes, please,” I reply and off we go with Sherpa Tensing leading the way on our trek.

Room 2 is a bit better. I do the catswinging test and it fails although I can see a glimmer of daylight through the unopenable windows. BTW, what’s that all about? “May I see the other one, please?”

I ask. And off we go again a few floors higher and there it is. The Room! The room that was being saved for whom? I don’t know. But now it’s mine. It has a view, it is spacious with a nice big double bed, not two singles hooked together.

“Thank you, this will do nicely. But please tell me, why didn’t I get this room to begin with?” I say. Spotty youth shrugs and says he doesn’t know. If anyone does, know please enlighten me.

So, people, when you check into a hotel in the future I give you permission to use my line: “May I see the third room first, please?”

OPINION & COMMENT

Mainstream breaking news

OUR VIEW

THERE appears to be a shocking lack of mainstream media control and accountability Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

THE job of newspapers is to keep us informed. Tradition has it that they also provide space for readers’ letters and comment by columnists. Both are free spirits whose views don’t necessarily reflect editorial opinion. The system works.

A trend has been for journalists, supposedly working to a code of ethics, to air their prejudices or nudge-nudge wink-wink connections to spin news stories. For this reason mainstream news often finds that they are the news.

An example was when the Daily Mail carried a dramatic feature of a Russian naval exercise. Their image depicted seaborne assault forces landing on the beaches of Mordovia. This was claimed to be practice for an invasion of the Baltic States. Slight problem? Mordovia is landlocked and situated 1,800 km from the nearest sea.

Associated Press carried a four column feature on the Chinese threat to Western interests. The headline reads:

JOURNALISTS: Air their prejudices to spin news stories.

‘China may be using the sea to hide its submarines.’ One reader, Sean Seamus says, “I bet the sneaky buggers are hiding their mines underground too.” Sebastian Ronin writes: “and hiding their jets in the skies I bet.’

British mainstream went ballistic, if you will excuse the expression. A Russian submarine, perfectly legitimately, recently bunkered at Ceuta, the Spanish enclave on the Moroccan coast. One national newspaper placed Ceuta near Mexico; sigh.

The visit by the electric-diesel powered Kilo Class Russian submarine was one of many such visits by Russian and other such ships. But, why allow facts to get in the way of a good story.

There appears to be a shocking lack of mainstream media control and accountability: US Vice-President Joe Biden told a CBS TV audience: “When the stock market crashed, Franklin D Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed, he said, ‘look, here’s what happened.’

I have a problem with this: there were no TVs in 1929 and Herbert Hoover was the U.S. President.

Joe Biden could soon be running America. You don’t have a problem with that?

You will, my friends, you will.

Something for the weekend?

HUNDREDS of children would converge on the cinema every Saturday morning Colin Bird A weekly look Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-thewall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.

I WAS reminded this week of a huge presence in the lives of many kids in the 50’s - Saturday Morning Pictures.

The cinema that served the south of Reading where I was brought up, was the grandly named Savoy and hundreds of kids would converge on the place every Saturday morning clutching their sixpence ticket money and another tanner to spend on sweets. Our harassed mums were glad to get shot of us for a few hours while they got on with their housework or shopping.

The noise inside the cinema was unbelievable. Kids hollered at each other across the aisles and sweet wrappers, paper planes, and articles of clothing flew across the auditorium. The beleaguered stewards had an impossible task to keep things in order before the programme started. It must have been like dealing with a prison riot.

FLASH GORDON: The hero of Saturday morning pictures.

The Battle of Britain.

Have we learnt anything in 75 years?

WE talk of the Battle of Britain spirit and rejoice in the strength of character of the British people, in and out of uniform during those terrible days.

Then, we believed in our politicians, and even though there was a huge amount of censorship, generally people understood the need when facing the rapacious Nazi war machine.

Churchill had been warning the country for years about the danger of Hitler and Mussolini, but the appeasers had taken little notice and like the French, had not given priority to their military forces and were to a great extent caught in a trap of their own making.

When he became Prime Minister in the spring of 1940, he had to try to resolve a difficult situation, which was made worse by the losses at Dunkirk. Despite this, the British people rallied around its leaders including the Royal Family and took every mishap stoically.

Although we are not facing anything like the same volume of attack, there is no doubt that we are all in danger from extremists in today’s world, and possible economic turmoil due to events in Syria and those unfortunates who have been forced to flee for their lives with so little.

Sadly, the current crop of politicians is unlikely to engender the same spirit of unity that abounded in 1940.

Finally at the appointed time, the lights dimmed, the curtains opened and the words of our ABC Minors club song appeared on the screen which we noisily dispatched well ahead of the music, anxious to get on with the films.

Our heroes were Flash Gordon - who got around in a spaceship powered by a sparkler Tom Mix; Superman; Dick Tracey; Tom; Laurel and Hardy, Marvel Man and many others.

Opposite the Savoy was Lester’s the barbers and it was often a good idea to kill two birds with one stone on a Saturday when there would always be a lengthy queue of small boys waiting for haircuts, all with the same strict instruction from their mums - short back and sides!

Mr Cooper, one of the three resident barbers, always had a cigarette dangling from his lips as he terrorised his way through a multitude of youthful locks.

He might as well have been using a Now we strimmer for all the finesse he poswant to sessed, and after each session he would hear your views. ask me the same question to the amusement of his colleagues.

School shoes - get the fit right FOOT pain in children can lead to all kinds of issues in the future, so make sure you sort it now

By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com AAAAAH, back to school time, depending on which side of the parenting fence you are on you are jumping for joy or sad for the end of summer.

But whatever you feel about this time of year one thing never changes - kids grow! And that means new uniform and new school shoes.

While the wrong size clothes might be annoying or irritating, the wrong size shoes can have a BIG impact. Foot pain in children can lead to all kinds of issues in the future, so best to take the time to get the fit right now.

SCHOOL SHOES: Important as children spend most time in them.

Why are school shoes important?

Typically school shoes are the shoes kids spend the most time in.

While a badly fitting pair of trousers might be annoying or look a little silly a badly fitting pair of shoes can HURT. And, if it continues over a few weeks or even months, that

pain can start to affect how your child moves and walks and runs, which means the ankles become involved and then the knees, hips, lower back, upper back and neck. It’s like that old song says, “The foot bone’s connected to the ankle bone, the ankle bone’s connected to the

shin bone . . .” and on up the chain.

Prevent injury Not just long term joint problems but falls and injuries now. If shoes don’t fit correctly then your child can literally be tripping over his own feet, losing his balance and generally being clumsy and hurting themselves.

Please remember - if your child complains of foot pain check it out!

Top Tips • Buy shoes for today • Leather and natural fibres allow the foot to breathe - doubly important here in the heat!

• Check the inside of the shoe for seams and stitching that might irritate • If your child does get a blister always use a little bit of antiseptic and a plaster to prevent infection kids feet get sweaty!

For a full shoe fitting and sizing guide please check out our blog www.TheBodyworksClinic.com/blog For more information about issues with kids’ feet, knees and back please check out our blog as above or call us on 952 883 151.

It’s September! Time to get your health back on track FitFoxy Looking Good, Staying Trim

SO all of the fun and festivities of summer are almost over. Family and friends, as wonderful as they are to catch up with and entertain these past few months, have finally returned home. The kids are set up and ready to go back to school… WOOP WOOP!!

Now take a DEEP BREATH Let me ask you… How nice will it be to have your life back and settle into a routine again?

Time management and developing a daily routine to get your fitness and health back on track are always the biggest challenges for many people when they are juggling a busy lifestyle.

The advice I offer to my clients in this scenario is this “ YOU ARE ALL YOU HAVE. If you stop functioning due to illness and poor health, be it mental or physical, you will be no use to yourself or anybody else.”

• Tip: Plan your week in advance and book in the YOU time that is required to get yourself back on track. If you have taken time out of the gym for the past few months, it’s time to renew your goals. Ask your trainer for an assessment and a new programme or book in some classes and give yourself a motivational starting block.

• Tip: If you prefer to train alone at home

WORKOUT: Make sure you find time. that’s fine too, although you may require more discipline. Be aware that it is hard to switch off and pull yourself away from other chores and commitments whilst they still surround you.

The free hour you intended to use for your workout quickly disappears. If you have an isolated room or area that you can close off, you won’t be so easily distracted. Set up your workout kit in this room and have it easily accessible for your workout sessions.

• Tip: Aim for three YOU hours per week. You will find the time if it is important enough to you. Book the time out in your organiser or diary, this way it becomes a real appointment.

Back to school makes mothers anxious THIS week marks the return to school for most children in Spain, but rather than youngsters being stressed at the thought of returning to the classroom, it seems that it’s the mothers who feel most anxious.

A psychologist said that mothers feel increased anxiety when term starts as well as worrying about the welfare of their child.

In contrast, a UK study showed that 56 per cent of children aged between six and 16, described themselves as ‘happy’ or ‘excited’ to be going back to school with seeing friends after the long summer break the biggest reason behind this.

A third admitted that the new school term did not even feature on their radar until the week before they were due to go back.

BACK TO SCHOOL: Children feel happy.

SALT INTAKE: Can do serious damage to our body.

Reduce salt to be healthy EVEN though salt is an element that our organism needs and craves in small quantities, big amounts of it could actually do serious damage to our body.

A salt-free diet, or at least processed salt-free diet, is possible.

Some of the most negative consequences of an excessive

amount of salt in our diet are as follows: • Salt increases the risk of suffering high blood pressure.

• It causes water retention and inflammation.

• It increases appetite, which in turn could lead to overrating. It also encourages the body to crave sweet beverages to balance out the effects of salt.

• Long term effects include the weakness of kidneys, liver and a decrease of eye health.

A teaspoon of salt contains approximately 2,300 mg of sodium, which is more than enough to satisfy our daily need for salt. The most damaging salt is common or refined salt.

Music heals both the body and the soul A NEW study by researchers at Queen Mary University has concluded that listening to music is a way to aid recovery from surgery. Listening to music, before, during and after an operation can be helpful and the study recommends that the NHS publishes information which advises patients to bring in music players to hospital so they can listen to music and help relax patients at the same time.

The findings, based on reviews of 70 trials of around 7,000 patients, claim that music helps lessen anxiety and reduces the need for pain relief during post-operative care, and is even effective whilst under general anaesthetic.

While the article in The Lancet does not clarify which type of music patients should listen to, the general advice was that “soothing” tones would aid recovery more. The study’s main researcher Catherine Meads also argues that music helped her overcome the pain from a hip operation more effectively, thanks to listening to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.

The author urges that music be available to all patients having surgery, even

SOOTHING MUSIC: Helps lessen anxiety in relation to surgery. though it is not something that is routinely used at the moment, but warns that it should not become a distraction for members of the medical team.

A follow up study by the Royal Lon-

don Hospital in autumn will measure the effect of music on 40 women who are due to have a caesarean or hysteroscopy by playing music through a loudspeaker in their pillows.

Raise your vitamin intake naturally NOW that the heat is almost off, the changeable climate even in Spain can play havoc with your defence system.

We take in lots of fluids in the heat of the summer and our diets usually include fruits and salads, but what will we lack during the autumn and winter time.

Vitamin D is what we naturally gain from the sunshine which aids healthy bones, heart, skin, and teeth. In order to continue maintaining your vitamin D levels without sunshine or pill supplements, you can adapt your lifestyle to do that naturally.

It is has been studied that if you lose body weight, your

vitamin D blood levels will increase, so try to take regular exercise instead of opting for the sofa on a cool evening.

The best type of fish to eat is wild salmon as it not only contains more vitamin D than most; it also helps to lower cholesterol.

Other sources of vitamin D are found in milk; sardines, eggs, and mackerel. Eat well, keep fit, and look forward to a healthy autumn.

New President for La Cala Lions for coming year CHAIN of office handed over at the Charter Night Ball THIS summer at the La Cala Lions’ Charter Night ball, Anne Bowles handed over the chain of office to Alan Latter.

Unfortunately Alan has had to opt out of this position due to ill health and the vice-president, Tony Bellamy, has stepped into the role as president for the coming year. Tony is a very experienced Lion and has already done a previous term as president and the Lions all wish him the best for his term of office - as well as hoping that Alan Latter resumes his good health as soon as possible.

Over the last year, La Cala Lions have raised €80,000 and are especially grateful to the volunteers who work in the charity shops where much of the amount was achieved.

Donations have been made to many deserving charities including Cudeca, children’s charities, the disabled, women’s refuges, Feed the Hungry, Debra, Positively Pink and Positively Blue, animal charities, local schools and sports as well as international campaigns for Sight First, Relief in Nepal and other major disaster areas plus Diabetes Awareness.

LA CALA LIONS: Raised €80,000 over the last year.

Of course, everyone at Lions knows none of this would be possible without their many friends who support them at

all the events and shops and have expressed a wish to pass on thanks to them all.

The Last Chance Animal Rescue Cal

LOCAL dog charity calendar with a DIFFERENCE - put together by animal loving friends and creat NEXT month sees the eagerly awaited release of the Last Chance Animal Rescue Calendar, which has been put together by a group of local creative professionals and animal-loving friends who volunteered to support this project.

The idea was formed when Kara Robertson, manager of The Boardwalk restaurant teamed up with talented photographers Rebecca Louise and Gary Tapp. The project grew out of a shared love of animals and the desire to support Last Chance Animal Rescue charity. LCAR, which works tirelessly with the government pound, El Pariso in Malaga has one aim - to rehome animals in need.

The team stopped counting when they passed the 2,000 mark of successful adoptions. They receive no government funding for their work and rely entirely on charitable donations. Every single cent helps them to save lives.

The sheer volume of dogs coming into government pounds such as El Paraiso is so great that sadly, when the numbers become too high, dogs are euthanised. These ‘perreras’ find it immensely difficult to home the animals only in the local area and the support

from charities like LCAR is vital to give these beautiful animals a second chance in life.

“We wanted to create a charity calendar with a difference which would appeal to a wider audience, not just people who work or volunteer in the rescue industry,” explains Kara. “Instead of going down the usual route of using images of cute puppies, we asked some of the beautiful people of Marbella to pose quite provocatively with what I like to call a Mutt-i-gree, as the calendar features a variety of rescued pure and mixed-breed dogs, puppies and seniors of all shapes and sizes.”

“Our aim is also to spread awareness and show that the rescue industry is changing. When you think of someone who adopts rescue animals, the crazy cat woman comes to mind or an animal hoarder with over 100 dogs running around in filth,” acknowledges Kara. “This simply isn’t true any more; most of the local personalities in the calendar are actually posing with their own rescue dogs and, believe me, you’re going to be surprised. Would you believe it if I told you that one of the models is a martial arts champion

DOG CALENDAR: Features a variety of pure and mixed-breed dogs. whose two rescues dogs go everywhere with him, or a very glamorous socialite whose baby is an unwanted Podenco?

“The purpose of the series is to showcase rescue dogs and the amazing

people who choose to adopt them in a different light, to fight the prejudices against these unwanted dogs. Rebecca and Gary worked extremely hard and managed to capture the expressions and attitude of each of our calendar su-

perstars and believe me it wasn’t easy.

You know the saying never work with children or animals!”

Unlike many charity calendars, all of the money donated will be going straight to saving the lives of the dogs.

Yes that is correct, 100 per cent of it.

The printing cost of the calendar was donated by Jackson Grundy Real Estate and all expenses have been covered by generous local sponsors which means every penny from now on will be used to treat, care for and rehome the animals.

Local businesses such as Mario Guarani and Matt Black helped take this calendar to another level by lending the team supercars and customised bikes for the shoots. Golden Tarts salon who are stars of the Life on Marbs TV series took time out of filming to look after the hair and beauty needs for the models and Amy and Mick Carter were kind enough to model for the calendar.

The lunch turned out to be very successful and was fully booked. The main objective of the lunch was accomplished as a large amount of funds were raised for the cause.

Maria Almendros, Head and founder of the NGO ‘No Child without a Home,’ stated “I created this organisation as being born in Tangier myself I can understand the conditions these children live in. This is what made me want to do something to help them and give them a future, give them access to higher education and legal residence permits in Spain.”

Family fun day in aid of APRONA September 27 SIXTH year of this charity event

By Wendy Ann Cowham IT’S GOOD to have fun with the family, but it is even better to have fun that raises money for a good cause. Hugh Holgate is running a charity fun day on September 27 for the APRONA centre in Estepona.

The centre provides support to hundreds of individuals who are mentally handicapped as well as providing residential care. There is much support needed via fundraising in order to keep the centre functioning, which is why the annual fun day is a key event towards money for the cause.

This will be the sixth year of the charity event that promises to attract even more fun loving supporters. In the past years this family day out has been known to have raised up to €10,000, which is an incredible contribution to this charity.

The funds raised go directly to purchase what items APRONA have on their ‘wish list’ such as washing machines and everyday necessities, in this way the association can put in place useful facilities. On the family fun day there will be lots to come along and enjoy as the Arcos and Benavista Bowling club has ample space to accommodate the activities.

The fun day commences at 12.00 noon where there is a

large play area, magician, face painting, balloon twisting, games, silent auction, raffle, craft market, and tapas and burger bar.

The admission to the club is free on the day and there will be live music to liven the spirit of the event. For more information you can visit the website at www.fundacion elliotgeorge.com or call 636 264 078 or Paula on 952 885 148.

Buying property in Spain is like shopping in summer sales REMEMBER your home could be sold for a higher or lower price just like a quality branded or unbranded product John Graham The property expert

THE summer sales are over and I’m sure ardent shoppers are already looking forward to the winter sale bargains in December.

Having spent some time looking at summer sale bargains, one of the interesting observations I made was that even after deducting the big discounts offered, the branded clothes and shoes, etc, were far more expensive than the same clothes and shoes that were unbranded.

Why such a big difference in the

Construction figures close to resembling those of 2007 GROWTH almost doubles the 3.2 per cent registered for the whole economic scene

The contribution to the gross domestic product (PIB in Spanish) of this sector during the second three months of the year reache d f i g u r e s u n h e ard o f

since the beginning of the 21st century, with a growth of 5.8 per cent when compared with the same period of 2014.

Neither the agriculture, the industry or service sectors are recovering to such a high degree. In fact, this growth almost doubles the 3.2 per cent registered for the whole economic scene, which is starting to resemble data registered back in 2007.

In addition, the investment in co n s tru ctio n c o mp a nie s ha s

prices? I mean a suit is a suit or a pair of shoes is a pair of shoes, right? Obviously not, the quality of the material, design and brand value is worth a lot more than a non-branded product of less quality, hence the difference.

Some of the same marketing principles which apply to selling clothes and other products in the sales are similar to selling your property.

For example, in June this year a total of 30,578 homes were sold in Spain and it’s the 10th consecutive month of annual rises, according to the National Statistics Institute (INE).

This improvement in property transactions is mainly driven by foreign property buyers, shopping for luxury villas and apartments.

Basically buyers are taking advantage of the fact that property prices

have hit rock bottom in most regions of Spain and can only go up in price in the future, so they want to take advantage of the bargain prices.

The other similarity between summer/winter sales and selling property is quality and design; the better condition your property is in, the higher the price you can sell it for.

So next time you go shopping in the sales for that bargain, remember your home could also be sold for a high price like a quality branded product or for a lower price like a poorer quality unbranded product.

Ten top tips to make gardening in Spain easier BUY yourself a set of mattocks instead of a spade and fork to ease back strain Dick Handscombe

Gardening Corner

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

1. Don’t walk on soil that will be used for planting things, especially after rain, as this will only consolidate the soil and make dried out red clay soils even harder to work.

2. If yo u a r e a b o u t t o lay out a new garden cover areas which will eventually be terraces with solid plastic held down by rocks and a light coating of stone chippings or sand.

3. As soon as possible join these future terrace areas with strips of plastic covere d wi t h st o n e c h ip pings to provide dry pathways even when it rains.

4 . Aim to have to work the min i m u m o f so i l in to beds for plantings.

5. On c e y o u h a v e c o mpleted t h i s i n i t i a l l a y o u t wander round it and look at the em e rg i n g n e t wo rk o f

paths and terraces aesthetically and decide where the d irec tio n s , w id th s a nd shapes could be improved to make the garden more interesting.

6. Recognise that working consolidated Spanish soil for the first time, especially after a long hot summer is not kind to backs especially if you set out to use English style tools. Go out and buy yourself a set of mattocks to use instead of a spade and fork for most tasks including digging planting holes and weeding.

7. Once you have worked over the soil for the first time obtain a load of horse sheep or goat manure and spread it deeply over the areas which will be your main planting areas and work it into the partially prepared soil.

8 . T h e g re a te s t d is turbances to partially prepared soils will be the making of planting holes for trees, so make these as soon as the

weather and soil conditions allow even if you don’t intend to plant trees until next spring. When we first decided where to plant trees we were still only visiting the property for holidays so preparations and plantings had to be carefully phased. So starting at Easter and through the summer holidays we dug planting holes afte r a ny thunde r storms that occurred.

The hole s w e re the n filled with green kitchen waste and weeds as tempora ry mini c ompos t he a ps w hic h ha d rotte d dow n within six months to be then be worked into the bottom of the planting holes. All the trees planted into holes prepared this way grew well.

9. When you start to lay the final surfaces to terraces a nd pa ths s lope the m s o that future rain water is directed and transported to where most required.

10. If it has not rained and none is expected for a while dampen soil before a tte mpting to w ork it or don’t start until heavy rain

Keep your house in tip-top shape SUMMER is coming to an end and autumn approaches, so have a look at these useful tips to keep your Spanish home in top shape.

In the same way as when you buy a pet you have to take care of it, and it becomes your responsibility; the exact same thing happens when you buy a house. Regular home maintenance will save you a lot of time and money, so is well worth doing.

There are a lot of things to look out for, but luckily you can do most of them by yourself. The following are a series

of useful things to keep an eye on this coming autumn: a. Cover-up your air conditioning when you stop using it. If you have central air con, cover the outside unit with a tarp or plastic covering and secure it with rope to avoid rain and dirt going into the ventilation system. b. Get your heating system ready for use. Check for drafts in the house caused by air leaks in windows and doors. If you have a gas heater make sure ventilation and the system has been checked by an engineer . If you have a

fireplace get it serviced at least once a year to avoid ash catching fire inside the flue. c. Check the driveway for cracks. If water goes into cracks on your driveway, it could freeze and expand causing further damage. Make sure to seal all visible cracks. d. Clean drains on terraces or balconies. If you have any drains, specially the small ones typical of Spanish housing, make sure they are totally clean and free of dirt as the torrential rain season is approaching and they could overflow.

We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive.

Now we’ve been told in this new series, we’ve got to feature more green cars. So here’s one. It’s really the greenest car we could find, really.” (A bright green Lamborghini Murcielago)

Some might say...

When you leave your McLaren in a car park...

CHRIS EVANS left unruffled by collision

By Steve Walsh THE future host of Top Gear, Chris Evans, must have kicked himself for taking his McLaren 650S to a car-fest last weekend, as a luckless driver didn’t use his mirrors and reversed a trailer into it.

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

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

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

It’s not the first time he’s been involved in a prang; in 2005, he crashed a Ferrari 550 Maranello near his home in Surrey, and in 2001, Radio 2 presenter Vanessa Feltz reversed her Mini into his Ferrari 599 GTO.

F1: One step ahead EVEN though Mercedes had already got the best F1 motor on the grid, it has taken a strategic decision thinking ahead and decided to introduce a new and evolved motor at Monza (Italy).

Brabus have taken another MercedesBenz and created a whole new monster LATEST model off the production lines for molecular transmogrification is the AMG C63 Well, maybe not, but one thing is for sure, there will be lots of interest around the Brabus stand this year, apart from the new C63, the company will also showcase its tuned Mercedes-Maybach.

By Steve Walsh THE new Brabus Benz saloon receives more power than it knows what to do with.

Just when you think they have done all they can to reach the peak, Brabus have taken another Mercedes-Benz from their in-house nutters AMG, and created a whole new monster.

The latest model that the mad scientists have whisked off the production lines for molecular transmogrification is the AMG C63. As if the standard AMG C63s wasn’t animal enough! The Frankenstein treatment from Brabus makes the performance figures even more ridiculous.

Six hundred horse power, just let that sink in for a moment: 600 horse power with 591lb-ft of torque, which is enough to launch this compact saloon weighing 1.7 tonnes from 0 to 100kph in 3.8 seconds.

If you could get enough traction and keep it straight as you lit the touch paper, you would probably stop the world turning.

TECHNICAL BIT:

NEW CREATION: Brabus Benz saloon.

Brabus will be showing off one of its newest creations at the Frankfurt Motor Show in just a matter of days. You can

almost imagine the unveiling now; the smoke clears as the curtains slowly draw back, and Boris

Karloff says: “It is alive,”' while lightning strikes and the 4.0 litre twin turbo V8 roars into life.

The Brabus work on the C63 S has yielded an extra 90hp, taking it from 510hp (on the European version) to an even 600hp.

Torque has been similarly boosted up from 516lb-ft all the way to 591 lb-ft, resulting in a sprint time of 0to-62 mph of just 3.8 seconds. They have achieved this via the PowerXtra B40 ECU kit, and the addition of a stainless steel sport exhaust system with a controlled butterfly valve. And that is basically it! Unlike the old days when they would bore out the block.

Honda’s initiative to inspire creativity as one ‘Team Honda’ THE winning entry from Honda’s annual ‘Global Design Project’ will make its debut at the 66th Frankfurt Motor Show running from September 15 to 27.

Featuring the RC213V competition motorcycle engine, which has been modified to run on public roads, Honda Project 2&4 provides the freedom of a motorcycle and the manoeuvra-

bility of a car. The manufacturer boasts of the exhilarating feeling created from the open cockpit which is significantly enhanced by the driver’s seat, uniquely suspended just above the road.

Over 80 designers and creators participated in the inhouse ‘Global Design Project’ competition, which is part of Honda’s initiative to inspire creativity as one ‘Team Honda’.

Skoda shows passion at Frankfurt Motor Show SKODA’s passion for expressive design and their new model versions will be on show to the world at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA).

One special highlight at the IAA (September 15 to 27) will be the new Skoda Superb Combi. The mid-class estate, making its first appearance at

an international motor show, combines expressive design and state-of-the-art technology with an impressively large interior.

The public will also have the chance to take a closer look at the sporty new Skoda Superb SportLine and the Skoda Superb GreenLine the most fuel-efficient and

low-emission version of the brand’s flagship.

The Skoda Rapid Monte Carlo and Skoda Rapid Spaceback will also be making their trade-show debut, highlighting the brand’s passion for precision, alongside the powerful Skoda Octavia RS 230 and Skoda Fabia R5 Combi show car.

FOOTBALL - Last weekend England (6-0 winners in San Marino) qualified for the European Championships in France next year with three matches to spare. Wayne Rooney scored a penalty to draw level with Bobby Charlton on 49 goals and was looking to reach the half century mark against Switzerland on Tuesday.

In other qualifiers, Wales (after beating Cyprus 1-0 and drawing 00 with Israel) need one more point (v Bosnia or Andorra) next month to reach the finals of a major championship for the first time since 1958. Spain are virtually through to Euro 2016 but Holland are all but out, while Northern Ireland,

LEWIS HAMILTON: Won Italian Grand Prix.

Scotland and the Republic of Ireland still have work to do.

In domestic League football, Blackpool ended their record 23-match win-

less run with a 1-0 victory at Scunthorpe...

Leyton Orient (battered 4-0 Walsall (beaten 1-0 by Bury) both lost

their unbeaten seasonal records...

Wigan scored three goals in the last nine minutes to beat Chesterfield 32... Burton Albion lost 2-1 at home

to Coventry... and in Scotland, Rangers, 5-0 winners over Raith Rovers, made it nine wins on the trot.

CRICKET - After losing the first of five ODIs against Australia at Southampton, England succumbed in the second by 64 runs at Lords.

There was a controversial incident during the match when Ben Stokes was given out for obstructing the field (handling the ball). This is only the eighth time in 3,161 limited overs games that a batsman has been given out this way, Stokes being the first Englishman. The only player ever to be dismissed for obstructing the field in a Test Match is England’s Len Hutton against South Africa at The Oval in 1951.

The other six, all Asians, given out for ‘obstructing the field’ are: Ramiz Raja 1987, Mohinder Amarnath 1989, Inzaman-ul-Haq 2006, Adnan Akmal 2012 and Mohammad Hafeez, Anwar Ali and Yusuf Pathan, all in 2013.

shire (241 points) lead Middlesex (198) in Division One, while Surrey and Lancashire have been promoted from Division Two. MOTOR RACING - Last weekend ‘super man’ Lewis Hamilton won the Italian Grand Prix at Monza by a distance (25 seconds in fact) from Sebastian Vettel with Felipe Massa third.

Starting on pole for the 11th time in 2015, this was Hamilton’s seventh victory of the year and his top speed was 248 mph. After his team (Mercedes) avoided punishment (possible disqualification) regarding tyre pressure, he’s now 53 points clear in the driver’s championship from Nico Rosberg whose engine simply blew up! And for the record both Lotus cars went out on lap one. Next race: Singapore on September 20.

TENNIS - Rafael Nadal, for the first time ever, will end a year without winning a Grand Slam title after losing to the 37th ranked Italian Fabio Fognini in the USA Open, having held a two set lead. At the time of going to press, the men’s 1-2-3 seeds Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, plus three top women, Serena Williams, Victoria Azarenka and Britain’s Jo Konta, were all going well.

Torreblanca golfing MEMBERS played at El Higueral ON September 3, The Torreblanca Golf Society played at El Higueral and the format was individual stableford points.

The course was in good condition, but the greens having been hollow tined were a bit bumpy! However this didn’t bother the top three!

El Higueral is a nine hole course which was played twice. To make it interesting on the first nine they played from the yellow and red tees and on the second nine the men played from the white tees and the ladies from the yellow.

The winner was Jerry Halford with 38 points off 11.5 now cut to 10.2. Second was Niamh Kerr also with 38 points off 35.7 cut to 34. Third was Tony Sidebottom with 35 points off 22.8 cut to 20.9. Nearest the pin in one on hole 3 was Tony Ridgard, nearest in two on hole 7 was Mike Takashima. The winning guest from Leicester was Rob Lemonte with 35 points off 21 cut to 19.7 for his next visit!

Rooney rules with a new record!

England’s goal machine has now reached 50 international goals

By John Smith WAYNE Rooney, who holds the record for being the youngest player to ever score a goal for England when he was just 17 years and 111 days old, has created a new record as he reached 50 international goals on September 9, the most scored by an England player.

The record was fittingly broken at Wembley Stadi-

um – the home of English football – when he put in a penalty against Switzerland, after scoring another penalty a few days earlier against San Marino.

Although approached by the Republic of Ireland manager to play for them when he was 16, thanks to his Irish grandmother, Rooney made it clear that he considered himself ‘English through and through’ and of course now

as captain of the England team, which was the first to qualify for Euro 2016, he has seen them unbeaten so far in their qualifying table.

Whilst those he has overtaken, including Sir Bobby Charlton (49 goals), Gary Lineker (48), Jimmy Greaves (44) and Michael Owen (40) played at a time when generally there were less international fixtures, Rooney is not yet 30 and

has several years ahead of him to build on this remarkable achievement.

If he continues until the World Cup in Russia in 2018, 60 or more goals could be a realistic target.

For a man who has been accused of underperforming for England he has done enough to silence his critics and his emotions were clear to see just after he scored that recordbreaking goal.

Junior Golf Leagues are now a reality THESE events will be well publicised at each of the clubs involved in the hope it will quickly spread Getting in the swing with Campbell Lamont

By Tony Myles OVER the last 10 years there has been a steady decline in the number of youngsters entering the sport. It is widely acknowledged that, for the modern youth, the game of golf can appear slow and less dynamic than their favourite modern video device.

Various initiatives, such as footgolf where the ball is kicked, have been introduced in order to make the game more appealing, but most traditional golfers would dismiss these as transient gimmicks.

For this reason it is gratifying to

JUNIOR GOLF: It is hoped this will stimulate an interest in golf. see a new project based on a regular golf format and exclusively for young players.

It is Campbell Lamont’s Junior Golf Leagues Recognising the problem and the long term detrimental effect,

Javier Camuñas from Manises Golf Club and Manuel Dutor from Foressos Golf Club had several meetings during which they discussed the creation of a league for the younger players giving them the chance to compete and im-

prove during the year.

This concept has become a reality and already this year Junior competitions are being played in La Sella Golf, Foressos, Manises, Costa Azahar and Masia de las Estrellas.

Every Federated Junior player is welcome to play at a very competitive price of 10€ if they belong to any of the clubs taking part in the competition or 25€ if they are a visitor to the venue.

Prizes in many categories It is hoped that this format will stimulate interest in golf and generate a long term association for the junior players. To aid this there will be many prizes awarded in several categories so that every grade of player will feel that there is a goal which is attainable.

These Junior events will be well publicised at each of the clubs involved and it is hoped that this will

quickly spread so that within a short period every club in Spain is hosting a series of Junior League events. In the event that a young player wishes to compete he or she will be able to enlist at any of the participating clubs.

A Grand Final and Prize Giving There will be a Grand Final scheduled for La Sella on December 20 and it is hoped that a senior event can be held for the supporting parents.

Thereafter the prize giving will take place at the Campbell Lamont Golf Store in Ondara.

In order to become a Federated player send your details to info@clgolf.es.

If you are a member of a club that is not yet hosting these events, do be sure to raise the subject with the General Manager and suggest a call to Campbell or an email as above.
