Discussing needs REPRESENTATIVES from Mijas parents’ associations met last week with Education Councillor Carmen Marquez to discuss their needs. “These meetings are a great way to find out what schools, pupils

and parents need,” the councillor said. One issue raised was a worrying lack of space at Sierra de Mijas secondary school, where management warned there would soon be nowhere to fit new students.

Time changes MALAGA City’s Pompidou Centre, at the Cube near the port, and Russian Museum Collection, at the old Tabacalera building, have both switched back to their winter hours and will now be open from 9.30am to 8pm.

Visits to both museums are free after 4pm on Sundays, and the Russian Museum is closed on Mondays and the Pompidou on Tuesdays.

Bikes back on front MARBELLA Council has finally agreed to let bikes back onto the seafront promenade, something local residents have been demanding for years.

Coinciding with the city’s Pedal Day on Sunday (Sep-

tember 20), a cycle path between Marbella and San Pedro was opened up, removing the bike ban previously in existence on the seafront, local Transport Councillor Miguel Diaz explained.

AWARD-WINNING: Work to beautify the historic centre of Estepona won third prize from Environment Ministry.

By Eleanor Hawkins ESTEPONA, known locally as the Costa del Sol’s Garden, has received third prize in the category for towns with more than 50,000 inhabitants at the Environment Ministry’s annual

Spanish Mobility Week 2015 awards.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment runs the awards each year to acknowledge the work of councils, institutions and companies to promote sustainable mobility.

Mayor Jose Maria Garcia Urbano said the prize was awarded for the town’s project launched in 2012 to renovate and beautify the historical centre and create more than 13 kilometres of pedestrian zones on 70 streets.

After the ceremony in Madrid, presided over by State Secretary for the Environment Pablo Saavedra, Garcia Urbano expressed his gratitude for the prize and stressed that the project had made the historical centre more accessible.

Group of suspected hitmen caught A POLICE operation has led to the arrest of seven people allegedly on the Costa del Sol to fulfil a contract to kill a Marbella businessman and his two bodyguards.

The arrests were made in a

La Cala de Mijas home, where a well-known Colombian contract killer known as Snoopy was caught along with another six people, two of them underage minors.

Police investigations began

last year and the group was tracked down after travelling to the Costa allegedly following orders from Colombian drug cartels to kill the businessman and his bodyguards for more than €30,000 per victim.

The group, the National Police force reported, intended to use a common method in Colombia which uses minors to pull the trigger, as in the case of being caught the law is more lenient with them, and fast mo-

torbikes for getaways.

After the arrests two homes were searched, one in La Cala and one in Madrid, and two pistols, two rifles, ammunition, €1,000, two motorbikes and two cars were confiscated.

A VIDEO doing the rounds on social media showing a Mijas burro taxi driver beating one of the donkeys is horrifying viewers, who are rushing to sign a petition on change.org for

something to be done about the situation.

The recording by a passerby shows one of the popular attraction’s drivers beating, kicking and dragging a donkey lying on the floor and apparently unable or unwilling to get up.

A local resident has started a petition on change.org to demand Mijas Town Hall does something about the situation with the donkeys, which at the time of going to press has already gathered almost 1,000 signatures.

Meanwhile, local political groups PP and Podemos have been quick to express their disgust at the incident, which occurred just metres from the town hall, and have voiced their intention to demand measures to protect the animals.

A Royal surprise for Costa del Sol DOÑA Sofia, former Queen of Spain and mother to King Felipe VI, has been on a visit to the Costa del Sol. She combined business with pleasure by also paying a visit to her cousin, Princess Maria Luisa of Prussia.

Doña Sofia opened the third CIIIEN International Conference on Neurodegener-

ative Disease Investigation and Innovation in Malaga on Monday, September 21, to coincide with World Alzheimer’s Day before heading to Marbella the following day for a private visit.

Thirty-six years on from her last family visit to the coast, her majesty spent the morning visiting the headquarters of the

princess’s charity, Concordia, followed by a private lunch.

Coincidentally, Princess Maria Luisa had said not long after King Juan Carlos abdicated last year that she hoped now her cousin was no longer queen she would find time to escape for a visit, a wish that has now been fulfilled.

Swedish model joins PETA fight ‘NO animal should have to face an agonising, needless death’

By Eleanor Hawkins AN ADULT model and stripper, Amina Axelsson, has followed in the footsteps of Marbella anti-bullfighting activist Virginia Ruiz and taken to the sand of Marbella’s bullring in protest on behalf of PETA UK. Although quickly escorted out of the ring before she could approach the dying bull, the activist, who lives in Marbella with her husband, later said she was glad she had had the guts to carry out her protest, planned with and filmed by a like-minded vet.

“No animal should have to face an agonising, need-

less death for the amusement of a crowd,” Axelsson declared.

She added: “I’m joining with PETA to urge caring people everywhere to end these bloody, internationally condemned events by never patronising bullfights.”

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) group, which recently congratulated Ms Ruiz on her leap into Malaga Bullring to hug and console a dying bull, has called for people to sign a petition to the Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy asking him to ban bullfights.

The Forrar Libros es Facil (covering books is easy) workshops are running at the Lope de Vega library today (September 24) at 5pm and at the Francisco de Quevedo library in Los Boliches at 5pm on Tuesday September 29.

Culture Councillor Rodrigo Romero commented: “If there’s one thing guaranteed to get us parents in a mess it’s covering textbooks. You end up with bubbles, bent covers and other problems which is why we decided to provide expert help, and who knows better than librarians?”

All parents need to do to join the workshops is turn up in the right place at the right time armed with their children’s textbooks and some stickybacked plastic covers.

Andalucia leads the way REGION beat Cataluña, the Balearics and the Canary Islands for visitors

By Eleanor Hawkins FOLLOWING a fantastic August for tourism on the Costa del Sol, the latest Frontur tourism study by the government has revealed that Andalucia is the Spanish region that registered the largest increase in visitor numbers.

The Frontur figures showed that 1,262,211 people from abroad came to

Andalucia in August, 5.1 per cent more than the same month in 2014.

This increase placed the region in the lead for tourism growth, beating its main competitors Cataluña, the Balearics and the Canary Islands, which over the first eight months of the years registered increases of just 3, 3 and 1 per cent respectively while in Andalucia the numbers went up by a

whopping 6.7 per cent.

Altogether, Spain has beaten last year’s records by welcoming a total of 47,201,960 international visitors between January and August, the study revealed.

The government says healthy markets in Holland, Asia, the UK, Scandinavia, Ireland, Switzerland and the US are behind the good results.

MIJAS works to break down language barriers EXCHANGE WORKSHOPS: A great chance for Spanish and English speaking people to get together.

Promoting integration

By Eleanor Hawkins FOLLOWING the summer break, Mijas Town Hall’s Foreigners’ Department has announced that its highly popular language exchange workshops are up and running again.

The workshops, which have been running

since 2012 and were attended by 300 people last season, are a great chance for Spanish and English speaking people to get together for a chat and improve their conversational skills.

Meetings are held at the municipal pensioners’ centres in Mijas Pueblo on Tuesday mornings, La Cala on Wednesday

mornings and Las Lagunas on Thursday mornings.

“The idea is to break the ice and get people to talk and practise what they have learnt in their language classes. It is important for people to communicate, this promotes integration,” said Foreigners’ Department head Ana Skou.

RESIDENTS at urbanisations on the outskirts of Estepona have reason to celebrate as the council has finally approved a longstanding project aimed to gradually take over maintenance costs.

Initially, the council explained, the town hall will provide 10 per cent of the cost and the amount will gradually increase to 100 per cent over a 10-year period.

Locals have been demanding the measure for many years as they have always had to pay the same taxes as those living in the centre yet also have to fork out for services within their residential complexes.

The agreement, the council reported, must now be sent to the Junta de Andalucia regional government for approval, which is expected to be granted as there are no reports against the proposal.

PLANNING: Preparations are under way to meet the needs of refugees.

By Eleanor Hawkins AS Malaga Province waits to see how many Syrian refugees will be coming to the area, the authorities are busy preparing to receive them and drawing up plans.

One of these plans is a resource guide which is being drawn up in

collaboration with the Education, Health and Social Policies departments which aims to record what is available where, to help meet the needs of future arrivals which will include charities, individuals, local and government services.

Man shot dead in Mijas Costa A THIRTY-YEAR-OLD Colombian man was shot dead on Thursday (September 17) in the Las Cañadas district of Mijas Costa.

The man, witnesses reported, was shot seven times from a passing motorbike as he was sitting in his wife’s car, parked on Camino de Campanales.

Although passersby hearing shots ring out at about 7.30pm assumed they were coming from a nearby chemist’s shop, which has been robbed various times in the past, a woman travelling in a car immediately behind the motorbike when the shots were made, rushed into the chemists to raise the alert and the Guardia Civil were called.

Local Police teams were also sent to the scene and cordoned off the area while Guardia Civil officers inspected CCTV recordings from the chemist in search of clues.

Less than half an hour later there were about 200 people stuck in the area, and owners of nearby vehicles were not allowed to move their cars until the body was removed late at night.

The deceased’s Italian wife, who arrived at the scene at 9pm, had to be given medical assistance for shock.

Jose Luis Ruiz Espejo explained that the Junta aims, through this guide, to record all available resources and place them at the disposition of those attending refugees.

“Organisation and advance preparations are vital in this type of situation that removes thousands from their homes,” Ruiz Espejo said.

Sentenced for free hotel stay A COUPLE has been given a one year jail sentence for spending seven days at the Guadalpin Banus Hotel and running up a €7,324 bill before leaving without paying.

Now, a provincial court has confirmed a one year jail sentence for each of the two and ordered them to pay the hotel the remaining €5,176.

BRITISH people living in Spain will have easier access to Red Cross services and support following an agreement signed

by British Ambassador Simon Manley and Spanish Red Cross vice president Javier Gimeno.

The new agreement will help vulnerable expatriates access Red Cross services and im-

prove their quality of life and also aims to encourage Britons to volunteer.

Signed at the Red Cross headquarters on Monday September 21, the partnership will initially be piloted in Alicante before spreading to the rest of Spain, enabling British communities to access services and get

involved in projects.

Simon Manley said: “People in the British communities have a wealth of experience and skills, and I really hope this new partnership with the Red Cross will encourage more people to volunteer their talents and support for the benefit of others.

“The agreement will also help ensure British expats have easier access to the wide range of Red Cross resources, which can improve quality of life.”

Representatives from a large number of English language associations in Alicante including Age Concern attended the signing ceremony.

ECOLOGISTS have reported the deaths of two Griffon Vultures, one a breeding adult and the other a youngster, the bodies of which were found at the Guadalteba wind farm in Malaga Province.

The birds, Ecologistas en Accion-Silvema Serrania de Ronda reported, died after colliding with massive turbines which constantly put the species at risk due to bad placement and a lack of preventive measures.

The disasters caused by badly placed wind farms, the association said, could be controlled if thorough studies and measures were put into place to halt turbines when needed or remove those found to kill more birds than usual.

EURO WOMEN PAGE

Strong, confident, fair and just 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.

Patti Senker makes a lasting impression on everyone she meets.

IT’S not very often in our lives that we are privileged enough to meet somebody that makes a lasting impression on us, a person whose genuine, delightfully modest character shines through, to make you reassess what life is all about. Patti Senker is one such person.

Patti came to live in Spain with her husband Michael some 11 years ago. Originally from Berkshire in England, she and Michael had travelled extensively and ran their own business before falling in love with Mijas Costa, near Malaga, and the Spanish way of life.

“I love many things Spain has to offer: the food, the climate, people, but not least the Spanish bureaucracy; that’s a constant source of entertainment,” she said with a knowing smile.

Patti has a wonderful downto-earth sense of humour. She is amused by the little things in life that make her laugh, and her Libran values of justice and balance in her day-to-day life ensure that she, and everyone around her, enjoy theirs.

That’s not to say by any stretch of the imagination that this lady’s days are full of nonsensical merrymaking, far from it. Patti has devoted the latter half of her life to easing the suffering and making the lives of those around her, and the less fortunate, better.

Her work with the Rhys Daniels Trust in the UK has taken up a good deal of her time for the past 15 years. The trust provides accommodation for parents of seriously-ill children all over the country. “We

Being strong, confident, fair and just, as well as kind, gentle, with the ability to listen to differing points of view with a great deal of patience are typical Libran traits, something that Patti has in abundance.

MARBELLA Council has started working to set up new lighting signs in the Avenida Luis Braille at the San Pedro Alcantara boulevard.

It is hoped to reduce the number of people hit by cars in the area, which has seen three injured and one death this summer.

The combination of excessive speeds in the area and somewhat reckless pedestrians has turned this spot into one of the most dangerous points for both vehicles and people.

For the moment, and until the council is able to allocate money for a comprehensive series of improvements, the local government has decided to set up visual signs with lights and another one which detects the speed and informs the drivers when traversing through this street.

Works are expected to be completed in a few weeks.

SPANISH Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, paid Antequera a visit on Thursday (September 17) to offer his ongoing support for the area’s applications for its Dolmens to be classed as a World Heritage site by Unesco.

Rajoy, who visited the archaeological site which includes the Menga, Viera and El Romeral dolmens, said the Icomos committee (which examines World Heritage applicants and was due to visit Antequera on

September 21-24) should acknowledge the importance of the site “It is exceptionally valuable for history and culture, the pride of all Andalucians and Spaniards,” the PM said.

Adding his signature to a book on the site to record support, the Prime Minister wrote: “My love, my support and my best wishes for this splendid archaeological complex, which should be World Heritage.”

Producers invited to promote film-making on the Costa del Sol A GROUP of producers from the UK, Holland, France and Denmark have been on a familiarisation trip to the area organised by Tourism Costa del Sol in collaboration with Antequera, Coin, Ronda and Malaga City councils and the Spanish Tourism Office in London.

The promotional event was planned by the organisers as a way of encouraging advertising and other types of filming on the Costa del Sol by introducing producers to the area’s numerous services and attractions.

The producers, who stayed in the area from Tuesday to

Friday last week, included representatives from The Location Guide, Warner Bros Studios Leavesden, Twickenham Studios, Nice Entertainment Group, Kanzaman Monaco, Dankelman Visual Productions, Rebel Movies and Heritage Media, amongst others.

New gag-law strikes again A PIZARRA man is facing a fine of up to €600 for posting a comment on his Facebook page about the local police force.

Juan Carlos Puyoles, who runs a 24hour locksmith service, explained that he had tried to contact the Local Police force in the early hours of the morning when he went to go out to deal with an emergency work call and found parked cars blocking his garage.

No officers were available to assist him, Puyoles said, and in frustration he posted a comment on social media stating that there were no officers on duty yet they could be seen drinking coffee in a neighbouring village.

“I posted no names or photos and never mentioned Pizarra,” Puyoles said.

Yet the next day, he was met on the street by officers who demanded his ID and informed him that he would be fined for his disrespectful Facebook comment in accordance with the recently instated Citizen’s Security Law, known on the streets as the gag-law. Puyoles has said that he has been in touch with the local mayor, who has said she will try and discuss the matter with the police force.

ATM scam hits Elviria IT would appear that those who had arranged the scam simply created a new card containing her name and details

By John Smith AN 82-year-old resident of Elviria has advised us that she went to the Elviria branch of Sabadell Bank to withdraw funds from her account on Friday August 14 using their ATM. The person in front of her had difficulty in using the machine but did obtain some money, whilst our lady tried twice without success even though she knew she had funds in the account.

She then went to another ATM,

this time in the Unicaja Elviria branch where the card was retained.

As it was Friday afternoon she decided to phone when she could and then return to the bank when it opened the following Monday.

It appears that she did manage to contact a representative of the bank on the next day and advise what had happened but when she returned the following Monday, the card was nowhere to be seen although the bank did have several other cards in a box.

When she went to check her account, it transpired that â‚Ź3,000 had been withdrawn from differe n t AT M s a r o u n d t h e M a r b e l l a area over the weekend.

Having reported the matter to the police and after being advised that this appeared to be an ongoing occurrence with bank cards in the area, she approached Sabadell, and the manager at her branch, whilst very sympathetic, said he had to refer the matter to head office.

A c c o r d i n g t o t h i s l a d y, a r e -

sponse was eventually received declining to refund any of the lost money as a pin number had been used when withdrawing the funds and no stop had been put on the account despite the fact that she had reported the card as being held by the ATM. It seems most likely that one of the two ATMs had been scammed and those who had arranged it had simply created a new card containing her name and details.

If this was not bad enough, she fell on the morning of September

12 and broke her hip requiring an immediate evacuation to hospital where she is now immobile and cannot afford to obtain assistance either by moving into a nursing home or by hiring a home help.

At the time of first writing this s t o r y, w e h a d n o t o b t a i n e d a n y comment from her bank but have since spoken to the Elviria branch which would not comment on any matter concerning their customer and they suggested that she should now contact their customer help line.

Website translates badly EXPATRIATES browsing the website for Malaga’s Cervantes Theatre in English were left rolling about laughing last week due to automatic translations resulting in a number of hilarious errors.

Those looking for season tickets (abonos) for the Philharmonic Orchestra were amazed to find they had to click on a button labelled fertilisers, while over 65s were invited to buy manure over 65. These were just the most obvious of a number of trans-

lation errors spotted by users on the website in both English and German. Their complaints eventually resulted in the theatre management closing down the translated pages and announcing a translator would be employed.

Other bloopers included the word ‘under’ in reference to the bass instruments, addresses for stage and musical directors and villages for tickets for specific seat locations.

Dodgy shellfish arrests TWO people, a Spaniard and a Moroccan, have been arrested in Mijas when Guardia Civil officers found one tonne of unauthorised mussels in their van.

Firewood thief’s appeal rejected A MAN found guilty of stealing firewood from private homes in Alhaurin el Grande has had his appeal turned down by a Malaga Provincial Court.

The man was caught in January after climbing into one property to steal a sack of firewood and trying to do the same at another property, where he was spotted. The fact he had a previous record for similar offences was taken into account.

PHILIP LANGLEY: Seen here receiving his race shirt from Mariana Piñero.

Sierra Leone Ebola appeal IBEX director all set to participate in fourth marathon IBEX DIRECTOR Philip Langley is all set to participate in his fourth Sierra Leone Marathon and is pictured here being presented with his race shirt by Ibex Marketing Executive, Mariana Piñero.

The race will take place in Makeni, Sierra Leone on October 24 .

Phil is, once again, raising money for the UK charity Street Child and specifically this year for their Ebola Orphan Appeal. In the days before the race Phil will visit several Street Child projects across the country and see for himself how the money raised is spent and meet the beneficiaries. Phil

is meeting all his own expenses for the trip so that every penny raised goes to the charity.

The ongoing Ebola outbreak has claimed more than 4,000 lives in Sierra Leone leaving over 12,000 orphans who have lost at least their primary caregiver. More than 3,000 children have lost both parents.

Their average age is just nine years old.

Without help these orphans face a bleak future as they also face the stigma of being an Ebola orphan and are often shunned by the wider community who themselves fear infection. The common practice in Africa of welcoming orphans

into families has often not applied in the case of Ebola orphans and many are left facing a life on the streets, physical & sexual abuse and no prospect of returning to school.

Street Child is changing that and has already supported over 10,000 orphans, giving them food, finding them safe shelter, providing school uniforms and getting them back to school.

Ibex has supported Street Child’s work for several years, in fact since six Ibex staff took part in the first Sierra Leone Marathon in 2012.

Masons skydive in aid of charity BUTTERFLY skin charity to benefit from intrepid stunt

By John Smith ON Saturday September 26 a brave Mason will Sky Dive 15,000ft over Sevilla as part of the Masons of Andalucía’s three year pledge to raise €60,000 for the Butterfly Children Charity, DEBRA Spain.

In January 2015, the Masons of Andalucía launched a three year festival to raise awareness and funds for DEBRA. So far they have raised €15,000 by arranging many exciting activities throughout the 15 Masonic Lodges of Andalucía.

They have lots more events planned, however, and the next upcoming event could be the most thrilling as Elvin Burdon aged 71, a Mason from the Coin Lodge, prepares to Sky Dive

15,000ft out of an aircraft!

The inspiration came from a friend of Elvin’s, Manni Schaare aged 65, an ex-German paratrooper.

On September 26, Elvin and Manni will travel to La Juliana Aerodrome in Sevilla to complete this challenge of a lifetime.

However, for Elvin the importance goes beyond a personal achievement “these children are only starting out in life, they deserve all the help they can get. I feel very proud and humble to be able to contribute in this way.”

To follow and support the event a crowdfunding site has been set up at www.gofundme.com/butterfl yskydive.

If you need some extra income, is now the right time to be brave on Emerging Markets?

IT is usual that markets and assets that have suffered large relative price reductions will reach the bottom at some point and commonly recover sharply. At this time many Emerging Markets have suffered from falling share and bond values while their currencies have been dumped based on the possible implications of a rise in US interest rates. But when do poorly performing assets become investment opportunities?

Currently, much of the economic news coming from Emerging Economies remains negative and few global investment managers are overweight in Emerging Markets. But how quickly might these countries recover on the back of their less expensive exports and lower oil prices leading to a return to positive sentiment?

In support of considering buying near the bottom, Morgan Stanley have recently issued a ‘full house’ buy alert for international stock markets for the first time since 2009. This means their five market timing tools, valuation, fundamentals, risk, capitulation, and a combined market indicator are all indicating it’s time to buy. While Morgan Stan-

INVESTING: Should not be an emotional response. ley remain cautious on Emerging Markets there is an acceptance that the time to buy may be close.

Certainly investing when your instincts tell you to keep your money safe is not easy, but investing should not be an emotional response it should be

about assessing what you need to achieve and how best to position your funds to meet your objectives dispassionately.

Two examples of where income can be found with additional capital upside are the iShares

Emerging Market Local Government Bond Fund and Emerging Market Dividend Fund. These Exchange Traded Funds invest in Emerging Market debt and Equities but have lost value sharply in US$ terms. On the plus side the 12 month distribution yields are now 6.86 per cent and 6.69 per cent respectively, using 14/9/15 prices. While we will certainly see further Emerging Market volatility in the short term the tide will turn and some investors will be attracted by high yields and the potential for enhanced returns if Emerging Markets and currencies recover.

Please note this is a brief exploration of one market area we consider when providing investment advice. The Fry Group are wholly independent and client portfolios are constructed from a broad universe of asset types and investments.

Emerging market assets will not be suitable for all investors and my comments should not be viewed as a recommendation of the funds highlighted.

Is a new Trotskyite giant emerging?

JEREMY CORBYN cops out of Commons confrontation LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT OMG. If the Labour party thought they were up the proverbial creek with Ed Miliband, they are now most certainly right up the tsunami with Jeremy Corbyn.

I don’t think I’ve ever looked forward to PMQ quite as eagerly as I did last week. At last the opportunity to see the new champion of lefty politics standing up and facing the opposition he has vilified so frequently in the past.

Would we see a new Trotskyite giant emerge in full media glare, calling on the right wingers to explain their folly and mishandling of, well, just about everything, accompanied by the cheers and roars of his adoring benches? Ha! What we did see was a pathetic, wizened old ‘student lecturer’, neck poking up through the wrong size collar of an obviously new shirt (one of a number I may add!) looking for all the world like the last turkey in the shop, tremulously reading emails, selected apparently from over 40,000 received over the last few

GREAT RED HOPE?: Comrade Jeremy Corbyn.

weeks. What a waste of party funds, time and money that exercise alone must have cost! And it was of course a complete cop-out.

Under the guise of trying to instigate ‘a new approach’ to Commons debate, he managed to avoid just about everything that an almost condescending David Cameron could have actually thrown at him. I couldn’t help but muse on the reaction of Comrade Corbyn should he find himself an elected PM attending a debate of world leaders: “Mr Corbyn, what are your views on sending in the troops to prevent us all being annihilated?” Corbyn: “Well, I do have a letter from Ada Pothwaite of Little Twittering, who would like me to ask you all when are you going to dismantle all your weapons, shake hands and live in peace with each other?” No, I’m sorry, comrade. Refusing to sing the National Anthem, electing an IRA sympathiser as a side kick, sticking prime egotist Diane Abbott beside you on the front bench and chorusing the Red Flag down the local pub?

Frankly, I think I’ve got more chance of being elected PM than you. I give him a year.

Prices increases predicted for Costa del Sol properties THIS YEAR and next will register modestly positive results inflexion point in the cycle and this year and 2016 will register modestly positive results, Acuña’s report revealed.

By Eleanor Hawkins WHILE recovery is expected to be slow but sure for the Spanish property market, certain areas including the Costa del Sol are likely to see significant property price increases next year, a new report has concluded.

Acuña y Asociados real estate consulting firm’s Spanish Real Estate Market Annual Report has predicted that prices will now stabilise in most parts of the country yet popular areas including the Costa del Sol, Valencia, Madrid and Barcelona are likely to see increases of between 3 and 5 per cent.

Prime areas like Marbella, the firm predicts, may well see even bigger increases.

Following seven consecutive years of price drops, 2014 saw an

3-5% increase expected in popular areas like Costa del Sol, Valencia, Madrid and Barcelona

SIGNIFICANT: Prime locations may well see even bigger increases.

Although large international investors, the report said, are waiting to see what this year’s national elections bring before continuing with major projects, 2015 will certainly end with better results in the market and as banks start to provide more mortgages the general outlook is good.

Possible solutions to fill empty homes on urban developments

FOLLOWING a 2014 ruling by the European Court of Justice that a Spanish law enacted in 2011 was discriminatory against non-residents, the government had to hastily rescind the law and offer compensation to those adversely affected.

In essence, Spanish residents were exempted from paying significant inheritance tax on any property left to them, whilst non-residents were charged up to a third of the value of the property if they spent less than six months in each year in the country. This even affected those whose spouses died and left the property to the survivor.

EU citizens are entitled to make a claim for the refund of inheritance tax paid between 2011 and 2014 and estimates suggest that this may affect as many as 30,000 people. Certain forms have to be completed and presented within five years.

Once the claim has been lodged, the process can take as long as eight months to be finalised and approved.

Whilst it is possible for an individual to complete the documentation themselves, there are also specialist companies who will undertake the work for a percentage of the value of the refund.

THE Spanish developer Espacio, which is part of the Villar Mir Group, has raised an interesting point concerning unsaleable new build property in its latest annual report.

“A good part of this stock has no market, fundamentally thanks to its age, deterioration, and bad location,” explains the report, with regards to the number of unsold homes on the Costa del Sol. “Part of the new housing inventory is in urban developments built in the heat of the real estate boom far from town centres and tourist attractions, which have been abandoned with the crisis, and now lack the services and infrastructure necessary for living there.”

This may not be all bad news, because a lot of this property is now owned by banks who will already have written off the losses, so they can afford to either reduce prices even more or simply

To some extent this is old news, but time passes very quickly and readers of Euro Weekly News deserve to be reminded of the existence of this opportunity to reclaim tax paid.

keep the properties on their books without trying to sell them at this time.

A massive discount of large numbers of these developments could of course hurt the property market in the short term, but could also give some real bargains to those who don’t mind living in out-oftown developments, provided that the main services are introduced. One interesting thought is with the influx of refugees into Spain, the government could consider taking some of this property off the bank’s hands at low prices and invest in creating new communities, which rather than segregating those refugees, could also include a number of Spanish residents who need access to social housing.

The removal of a number of unsightly properties from the market could encourage further investment into new development.

Buying a house is similar to buying a car HAVE a surveyor check your property as head mechanics do with cars John Graham The property expert

I HAD my car serviced the other day and while I was waiting for the service to be finished I decided to take a look at the car showroom.

The new models took centre stage, with the second-hand cars in a separate area. The sales staff were very helpful and offered a test drive in any car I was interested in.

All new cars include a minimum three-year manufacturer’s guarantee and even the secondhand cars had a one-year guarantee, and finance was available with a small deposit.

The salesman confirmed that all the secondhand cars had been inspected by their head mechanic and any necessary repairs had been carried out, hence the one-year guarantee. I was even offered a discount or some free extras.

As I drove home, I started to compare the car showroom experience with a typical experience of buying a property in Spain; there are some similarities and a few surprising differences.

CAR SHOWROOM: A recent visit led to property comparison.

Let’s start by comparing buying a new car with buying a new property. You order a car to your personal specifications right down to the size of your wheels and included is an average three- to five-year manufacturer’s guarantee.

When you buy a new property you have either had it built to your personal specifications or you have bought a new property which meets all or most of your requirements. And if the property is still under construction you may be able to personalise room designs or fittings

and you will have a 10-year constructor’s guarantee.

So buying a new property is similar to buying a new car; you’re well protected as both come nicely wrapped in long-term manufacturers’ or constructors’ guarantees.

When buying a second-hand car compared to buying a second-hand property, it’s a bit different. The head mechanic checks the car over and if he finds any problems, repairs are carried out before you buy, and you have the comfort of a

one-year guarantee. That’s when it suddenly hit me that most buyers can get more guarantees on the condition of a second-hand car costing around €50,000 than on the condition of a €2 million second-hand property.

When buying a second-hand or resale property you need to know you’re not buying trouble with a capital T, and if there are things that need fixing, the seller should do the work or deduct the cost from the sale price before you purchase.

A ‘pre purchase property check’ carried out by a professional surveyor is the answer; he will check the fundamentals on the property and give you a report on its condition before you decide to purchase, so you should arrange for a surveyor to check the property before you buy, just like the head mechanic checking a second-hand car, you can easily avoid buying expensive trouble.

If you would like further information on buying or selling your property please contact me: John Graham, FASI Fellow of the Architecture & Surveying Institute gk.ipad@me.com Twitter @JohnGrahamFASI

Cavemen and hobbits catered for in Andalucia and Granada in particular

By Eleanor Hawkins ALTHOUGH wives and girlfriends can often upset their other halves by referring to them as ‘cavemen,’ in Spain that is actually quite a smart thing to be as, rather like hobbit holes, Spanish cave houses can be some of the most unique, comfortable and spacious places to live.

One of the oldest forms of accommodation known to mankind, caves usually bring to mind a small, dark, dank area to hide out in temporarily rather than a home.

Yet in Spain there are many permanent cave-dwellers, and their holes in the wall are not to be sniffed at.

Andalucia, and Granada in particular, are known for their beautiful cave houses and in Granada city for example the Albayzin and Sacromonte district are liberally spread with caves which, along with the Alhambra Palace, make up a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The mountainous Guadix area is also popular for cave-hunters, with hundreds of chimneys hinting at the amount of underground hidden homes.

CAVE HOUSES: One of the oldest forms of accommodation known to mankind.

Built completely in stone, one of the main advantages of cave houses is the ease at which temperature can be maintained. While outdoors extreme heat (and cold) may be the norm depending on the time of year, inside caves the temperature generally hovers around a pleasant 20 degrees Celsius.

Natural light is used as much as possible, with caves often facing south and ingenious drilling methods used to allow more light in. Builders and decorators also come up with unexpected ways to make artificial light feel natural.

Another good reason to pick a cave is safety. They are unlikely to collapse, catch fire or suffer in the case of earthquakes, experts say.

For those considering becoming cavemen and women, there are many rental agencies and hotels in Granada Region which will give the curious a chance to try before they buy.

There are two options: either hunt for a cave for sale or employ specialist constructors who can create a brand new, unique cave, usually in less time than it would take to build a similar house.

Barcelona property market continues to recover A RECENT analysis undertaken by the Forcadell group reports an increased demand for Barcelona flats and apartments from both Spanish and foreign investors.

It is also apparent that developers are beginning to show interest in buildable land in Barcelona, indicating that they see the possibility of profitability due to increased demand and rising prices.

The Forcadell analysts consider this awakened interest is thanks to the improvement in the national economy, the relative ease of obtaining credit and the falling unemployment rate.

OPINION & COMMENT

Wham! Bam! Thank You Cam for authorising the fatal drone attack AN emergency effort led by Germany to force EU member states to accept mandatory refugee quotas collapsed Nora Johnson

Breaking Views Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist.

To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

THIS was how The Sun described news that PM David Cameron authorised a fatal drone attack on two British jihadists but it could equally describe his reluctance to match Angela Merkel’s apparent fool-hardy open-door policy to the refugee crisis. A policy already facing a backlash inside and outside Germany as Europe’s strategy for tackling the crisis continues unravelling.

An emergency effort led by Germany to force EU member states to accept mandatory refugee quotas collapsed in discord, leading to threats of financial penalties against mainly Eastern European countries and provoking comments from Slo-

REFUGEE CRISIS: What happened to border free travel?

How do you go from watching the news to releasing a single in just one week?

vakia they would bring the ‘end of the EU.’ In fact, the great migration has already led to the unravelling of one of the EU’s signature achievements: its Schengen system of bor-

der-free travel.

It’s alarming national policy should be formed on the basis of emotions. The Syrian father of the drowned child who originally prompted the open-door policy was already in Turkey, safe and working.

He’s faced a backlash as a people smuggler, too, and blamed for the boat capsizing leading to several deaths. Germany’s welcoming stance and open-door policy merely encourage this tide.

How much better to use British aid money to help the refugees in the camps adjoining Syria, from where they might one day return home, rather than throwing out a welcome mat that encourages the use of dodgy routes across Europe.

David Cameron should stick with his policy of treading the sensible line between keeping the British opt-out on refugees and not appearing heartless.

But it didn’t take long for the sleb

Luvvies to jump on the bandwagon with the charidee single ‘Help Is Coming,’ did it? “How do you go from watching the news to releasing a single to help the victims of the refugee crisis in just a week?” asked one. Answer: by being a comfortable, middle-class individual on a guilt trip who can afford to avoid the negative aspects of mass immigration.

I don’t know what your views are of Bono, Bob Geldof and the others.

Regular readers of this column may recall my ‘lift’ test. In other words, would I want to be stuck in a lift with any of them? Hell, I’d rather take in a refugee family.

Home swapping for holidays is safer, cheaper and more popular than ever David Deverson GLOBELINK INTERNATIONAL Insurance correspondent david@globelink.co.uk

THIS might seem like a strange thing for a travel insurance consultant to say... but have you thought of holidaying at home this year? I don’t mean staying home; where would be the fun in that? I mean swapping your humble (or not-sohumble) abode for someone else’s wildly exotic one. And vice versa.

Home swapping has been around for decades, but in recent years, agencies have multiplied, along with the choice. Last year, homeexchange.com registered 75,000 swaps in 150 countries, with offers ranging from modest flats to designer lofts and luxury condos. What was once seen as ‘alternative’ has become a mainstream travel concept that even appeals to risk-averse people like you or me.

This year, the take-up could be higher than ever, as people look for ways of fulfilling their holiday dreams without blowing the budget. At Globelink, we’ll be there to cover them on their travels. Certainly, the economies of home swap-

HOME EXCHANGE: Globelink can arrange the necessary insurance cover, giving you complete peace of mind. ping are an incentive. While some agencies charge a modest sign-up fee, others are free until a deal is sealed. You pay for your travel but the rest is up to you, minus hotel bills, and even car hire if you decide to to swap car keys.

The popularity of home swapping is part of a wider trend towards more authentic, ‘insider’ travel experiences. Shopping for fruit and veg

in a Paris market, catching the ferry to Vancouver Island, admiring the sunset from ‘your’ pad in Brooklyn Heights, you get to live as a local, not a tourist, at least for a fortnight or two.

That said, it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. If the thought of someone else settling down in your favourite armchair makes you shudder, home swapping probably isn’t for you. But for would-

be first-timers, the good news is that the majority of home swaps pass off happily. They stand an even better chance of running smoothly if exchange partners take the time to get to know more about each other and their expectations.

As that suggests, home swaps involve a good deal more preparation than a book-and-fly deal.

That includes taking obvious precautions, such as checking with your house insurer that you’re covered for the exchange, and complying with any extra conditions. Should you decide to swap cars, arranging guest driver car insurance is an absolute must.

Decent travel insurance should, of course, be right at the top of any checklist. From lost or stolen passports to accidents or illness, things can and do go wrong.

Hospital staff so insensitive at a time of great sadness I WOULD like to bring my recent experience to all the expatriates who live on the Costa del Sol. My husband was a patient at Hospital Clinio Malaga. On August 31, he sadly passed away.

Within seconds of this happening I was approached by a member of staff asking if he had death insurance. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

That was bad enough but then I was taken into a side room by a member of staff from Interfunerarias Malaga who wanted to know if I wanted my husband cremated or buried.

I was in a state of shock and did not realise what was going on.

Within about 20 minutes forms were filled in and the funeral was arranged. How insensitive can someone be?

I wanted to warn others of what happened as it was obvious that one of the hospital staff was tipping off the funeral service. It shouldn’t be allowed.

MT, Torrequebrada, Malaga

Car advice SO sad for the elderly victim of the runaway car in Calle Neptuno, Torrox, Malaga last week.

This incident could so easily have been avoided by turning the steering wheel to full lock, with the front wheels pointing into the kerb.

This simple manoeuvre works whether facing up or downhill no matter which side of the road you park on. If the handbrake lets go, the car cannot roll very far. It can still cause hurt or damage but much less severe.

Even on a slight slope the kinetic energy of a ton or so of metal can rapidly build up to devastating proportions.

It can also help to leave the car in gear when parking but it’s not foolproof, if the handbrake let’s go the torsion can pop the gear out of mesh, particularly in older vehicles.

It was interesting to note today that the threat of further Russian intervention in Syria has given the Western imperialists pause for thought.

Kerry wants to open negotiations which would leave Assad in control.

The role for the UN would be to insert their presence into the region once factions agree to a cease-fire and to abide by the terms mutually agreed upon.

More violence, which you seem to continually encourage, does absolutely nothing but cause more destruction and death.

Is that really what you want to see?

Concorde flying again I DOUBT this will ever happen. Virgin wanted to take on Concordes to continue with the service but my guess is British Airways made sure the authorities would not let them so I would doubt they would get an airworthiness certificate.

Mike (By email) Comment on website: www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/news/on-euro-weekly-news/uknews/133267-like-the-phoenix-concorde-may-fly-again

EU chaos IN RESPONSE to Nora Johnson’s column in last week’s Euro Weekly News, Germany turned off the tap when it became obvious that only a relatively limited number of the surge were Syrians fleeing war while huge numbers were just Afghans, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and other economic migrants.

As for the UK, there’s already a housing crisis and a lack of wellpaid jobs that provide enough to live on. Homeless on the streets

with mental health problems plus the elderly are hardly treated as they should be.

Robotics and automation in the coming years will mean many jobs will disappear overnight.

So how can the UK can possibly cope with a large influx of economic migrants/refugees that want to stay there?

The answer is that it can’t. The problems in Syria, etc, must be sorted at the root cause.

Back to you, Mr Juncker!

Chris, (Via website)

Take action I HAVE a message for Mike Walsh: why don’t you get off your **** and lead a posse to wipe out the ‘terrorists’ in every country of the world?

For your information, the mandate of the UN is to try to bring peace to areas in conflict, not form armies to go out and ADD to the problem.

Unlike you, they are not sitting on their *****, they are in fact in many countries already, trying to hold the opposing groups apart.

EVERY day we wake up to a new case of the so-called gender-based violence.

In reality, this is just plain old violence against women, and children, as they are often used as weapons to threaten and keep women trapped in their nightmare relationships.

This is not an issue unique to Spain, but I find that the frequency of the cases reported and the way in which they are dealt with by the authorities is in all honesty appalling.

It is not about punishing after the damage is done. The difference has to be made before, through education, when men are boys who can be saved from the awful power of violent masculinity.

YOUR STARS LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) There’s a lot of buzzing going on in your head. No, it isn’t tinnitus, it’s something quite different. You know it’s a great time to get ideas and act on them. However, trying to act on too many at once is causing some confusion. Maybe there’s too much going on.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You’ve been working hard, maybe in the dark some of the time. This week someone shines a torch on your situation and you see exactly where you are. Are you surprised? You shouldn’t be.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Getting a creative project started has opened your eyes to many things.

Perhaps you question why you did not do it before. The fact is that it doesn’t matter. You are where you are right here and not because that was where you were heading. Enjoy the feeling, the praise and the satisfaction.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Just imagine for one day that you have achieved everything your heart has desired. When you wake up in the morning believe it is so. Feel how your spirits lift and your heart sings. Carry that feeling through the week and beyond. If you believe that you are a success you can be. Why stop when it feels so good?

It appears at times that you are in the middle of a play. The lights are on you, the mike’s wired, your audience awaits, then nothing. Not that you are lost for words. You know exactly what to say and do. What you are wondering is why you are there in the first place. Maybe where you are was not intended. this special week, when you see things so clearly, be selective. Allow into your life only that which is valuable and worthwhile. This is not selfishness, it is providing a source of inspiration for the present and the future.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Your old shoes are comfortable and still have a lot of wear in them but someone is suggesting that you should buy some new shoes and throw the old ones away. They are no longer shiny.

They are no longer fashionable. They do, however, provide all that you need.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) That little bit of extra cash has made you realise something. Not everything is as simple as you would wish it to be, and throwing money at a problem will not make it go away entirely. There are some things that you need to come to terms with. It is much easier to incorporate the uneasy into your life if you take a more relaxed attitude.

There are other options that will bring the same result and maybe even a more convenient one. You will need to do two things. The first is to open your mind to the possibilities. .

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Someone needs to learn to stand on their own two feet. It isn’t you, but it’s close. Finding a balance between helping and idly standing by while mistakes are made is necessary. It’s not easy but it has to be done. You may break into a sweat this week and it won’t suit your nerves, but you’ll get through.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A way opens up before you that can bring wealth. Branching off from that is a path to certain happiness. Which will you take? If having that money means changing your nature (or trying to) is that going to make you happy?

On the other hand, if you sidestep the money can you still be happy? Keep things simple. You know where you are.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you looking for guidance? Maybe you are thinking that a recent acquaintance will be able to provide it.

You ran something by a few friends and they are not so sure. That is because this is a situation where you need an expert, not a well-wisher. Best not to waste your time and jangle your nerves. Get that expert even if it costs a few pennies.

Top 10 ridiculously expensive versions of everyday items

WE all buy everyday items without giving much thought as to their cost, typically because they simply need to be there and we buy the cheapest possible. However some people look to spend a little more: 1. Perfect pencil A €280 pencil made by German company Graf von Faber Castell. This perfect pencil comes with a sharpener built into its protective cap as well as a replaceable eraser at the end. The company claims this tool releases a cedar aroma when sharpened.

Suzy Favour Hamiltion was during the 1990s a middle distance Olympic runner star with an ideal life: she was an advocate for the sports world, a model mother and wife and seemed to lead a healthy, active life.

However, the truth was different: Suzy explains in her biography her fight against manic depression, bipolar disorder and an obsession for perfection and victory. A misdiagnosis only worsened her condition and made her hypersexual, pushing Suzy into a new identity: she became a high-priced escort in Las Vegas by the name of ‘Kelly’. books@euroweeklynews.com

2. Panama straw hat A model of the Montecristi Panama hat created by Panama Hat Company of the Pacific cost $25,000 (€22,000). Each hat is made from a bundle of straw, hand woven, blocked and styled, and takes three months to be completed. The hat is completely customised for the client. The company’s website has section which attempts to answer questions such as “$25,000? Are you serious? Is it made of gold?”

3. Kopi Luwak coffee Also known as ‘Cat Poop Coffee’ refers to the coffee that includes digested coffee cherries eaten and then defecated by the Asian Palm Civet. The enzymes in the animal’s stomach modify the chemicals of the beans, giving them their special taste. Each pound costs as much as Fairs with food and drink $600 (€530; €44 per cup).

4. Gold toilet paper The 22-Carat Gold Toilet Paper is a high quality three-ply paper with gold flakes through it. The luxurious product, which was created by Australian company the Toilet Paper Man, costs a staggering $1,376,900.00 (€1.21 million) and has been credited as the most expensive toilet paper in the world. The treat is claimed to be delivered personally together with a bottle of Champagne.

Border delays not so long

FOLLOWING a number of open days and over 2,400 people attending at the weekend, Chief Minister Fabian Picardo gave a formal opening speech on September 21. He said that he was happy that the local response had been so positive and described the ceremony as “the day in which we become a University City.”

THE new Director for Europe at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Mr Lindsay Croisdale-Appleby arrived in Gibraltar on Monday September 21. This visit so soon after his appointment will allow him to get firsthand experience of a wide range of Gibraltar-related issues, meet the Chief Minister and tour territorial waters with the Royal Navy Squadron.

FOREIGN Office minister Baroness Anelay of St Johns advised Parliament that one hour and 45 minutes was the maximum delay to vehicle traffic crossing from Gibraltar into Spain this summer, compared to five hours in the summer of 2014.

Entry delays occur as drivers with Spanish number plates are regularly stopped whilst their passports are opened and read.

The Rock to be afloat in valuable wine storage GOVERNMENT has approved the construction in the Rock tunnels IN a spirit of entrepreneurial invention, the Gibraltar government has approved the construction of a £6 million (€7.8 million) investment wine storage facility within the miles of tunnels which run through the rock.

Tunnels under Gibraltar were considerably extended prior to and during the Second World War and apart from being a massive storage area for munitions, included a full working hospital which is still there although redundant, bunkers for high-ranking politicians and military leaders and even a ‘se-

Ideally positioned at the gateway of both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, Gibraltar Wine Vaults is also able to offer competitive pricing, no Capital Gains Tax, no Inheritance Tax or VAT liability as well as superlative wine storage facilities,” CEO and founder of Gibraltar Wine Vaults Tracy Lee said.

The entire venture is undertaken as a private sector commercial activity but government is positive that the facility should encourage a growth in ‘wine tourism.’

I MET many wonderful trainers from around the world on the internet

David THE Dogman Listen to David on TRE every Saturday 10am to 11am Costa del Sol (Gibraltar/Sotogrande) 98.7fm (San Roque to Calahonda) 91.9fm (Calahonda to Motril) 88.9, Costa Calida 92.7fm Costa Blanca (Torrevieja to Elche) 105.1fm (Elche to Calpe) 88.2fm, (Calpe to Gandia & Ibiza) 104.6fm, (Denia to Valencia) 95.3fm Mallorca 103.9fm

MANY years ago dog forums were the place to meet on the internet. I met many wonderful trainers from around the world including Grant Teebone, over 30 years a police dog handler and instructor from Australia, and Dick Russell running Dog Training in Baton Rouge, LA, who trained dogs professionally for more than 50 years.

It was his craft and his life. For more than 30 of his last years, Dick helped Baton Rouge Metro Area dog owners turn their animals into the pets they dreamed of. Dick was aware through my writings that I did not believe in anything other than teaching dogs to walk to heel, sit and stay, and most important to come back when called.

I was also letting dogs off the leash to sniff and play and go on walks. Dick, bless him, used to call me the ‘Mad Dog Man’ until he received a video from me showing him my free socialisation. From that moment on, he changed his complete approach

DOG HARNESS: Originally designed for working dogs. and was ‘then’ the first dog trainer in the western hemisphere to offer Large Field Socialisation. Dick came on my radio shows and always claimed I changed his life. Unfortunately, Dick died a few years ago and I lost a great friend I had never met.

Any form of aggression used towards aggressive animal results in a negative causing so many problems. Now another new approach is the Tedlington Touch, known as the TTouch. Sarah Fisher a friend and expert in all sectors of the canine and horse world uses this. It can be seen on the internet and certainly gives excellent results.

In conclusion, lately a term being used in the USA, UK and Spain is ‘Force Free

Training.’ This literally means passive training, which a number of trainers have been using for over 30 years.

Over the past few years harnesses in all shapes and colours have been appearing.

Harnesses were designed for working dogs, tracking, guide and handicapped dogs, air sea rescue, etc. In my opinion the harness needs to be fitted by an expert and then owners shown how to use it but of course owners do not go down this street!

I prefer that a dog is trained on a half check collar available in the Kumfi range www.kumfi.co.uk and then once trained to walk to heel after which there is no problem to use a harness.

PASSIONATE: Sandra and Patricia of Vitalpet.

Expert care and service for every pet VITALPET welcome many nationalities SANDRA THOMAS and Patricia Ruiz Hoffmann are two passionate and experienced vets who offer an individual and complete care service for every pet.

Vitalpet welcomes many nationalities as they speak English, German and Spanish, so you can be sure that everything about your pet’s health can be clearly explained to you.

This welcoming practice offers a full veterinary service including general medicine, digital x-ray, surgery, in house laboratory, dentistry, and they also work together with specialists offering services such as ophthalmologist, Doppler scans, and endoscopy.

Vitalpet have a fully equipped and monitored surgery room where your pet can be operated on if needed.

Sandra and Patricia will also undertake house visits

on request if your pet is too ill to travel, they can also authorise any travelling certificating which enable pets to travel to other countries.

They will also give personal advice on puppy care if you have just taken on a new addition to your home, making sure all injections and procedures are put in place from the start.

It is also important that your pet feels good and looks good too, so the grooming service is one thing that many owners take advantage of. This is an ideal way of taking the hard work out of struggling at home in the shower or garden with your pet.

The groomer has all the equipment on hand which makes everything more pleasurable for both the owner and the animal. With many years of experience, he can trim breeds of all shapes and sizes, but he works only by appointment so it is essential to book beforehand.

There is ample parking outside Vitalpet, which is very important when transporting your pet.

Opening hours are from 10am-7pm Monday to Friday by appointment on Saturdays from 10am-1pm.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Kamikaze software AS part of a new series, we answer some common driving questions, kindly provided by members of the Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.

24 - 30 September 2015 / Costa del Sol

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man

NEW software has been created by Bosch which aims to alert so called ‘kamikaze’ drivers, who either intentionally or accidentally drive the wrong way down the road.

This software will be available through smart phones or integrated into the vehicle’s technology such as GPS systems.

Once an alert has been activated to say the driver is going the wrong way and the driver fails to respond to the warning, the equipment is capable of forcing the vehicle to stop within a few seconds, simultaneously sending an alert to approaching vehicles of the potential hazard ahead.

Bosch aims to put the technology into production in 2016, although the ability to actually stop the vehicle will only be available in those cars which have computerised assistance built in.

Police checks All drivers in Spain should be aware that the Guardia Civil traffic department will be carrying out intensified checks on the wearing of seatbelts and child restraints in cars.

The use of a seatbelt is mandatory for all occupants of a vehicle in both front and rear seats. There must be no more passengers in a vehicle than the number of seatbelts. Children less than 1.5m in height must use the appropriate restraints for their height and, in some cases, weight and children under the age of 12 cannot travel in the front seat, unless using a properly fitted and approved restraints. The only exception is if the child is tall than 135cm, in which case they can use the normal seatbelt.

According to the DGT, 70 per cent of children are not properly protected with the correct form of restraint.

Your solicitor has done well to warn you about the upcoming extra tax bill.

The Spanish Tax Agency has tables of value, based on the official rateable value of properties, which is the ‘valor catastral’ used to determine the annual property tax, ie rates. These tables give the minimum value

I’m upgrading to a lion as a pet!

Mike Senker

POLICE CHECKS: On the wearing of seatbelts and child restraints in cars.

EWN

I LOVE DOGS. In fact, I like most animals but my preference for a household pet is a dog, but after today I might upgrade to a lion. I have this problem - you see my dog gets walked three times a day.

He is a mutt, a soppy adorable mutt who wants to eat, sleep, have his belly rubbed (partial to that myself) and a nice walk.

So why do people decide that it’s OK to let their, and I’ll use today as an example, dogs run about off the lead? Admittedly, if it’s a tiddly little thing or a soppy sausage like mine it’s usually manageable, but if it’s a pit bull, or like today a Rottweiler and a Doberman that are by nature hunting or attack dogs it’s a problem. I live up in the hills but it’s highly populated and lots of people walk their dogs.

It’s not some remote place where you don’t think you are going to run into people. Anyway I’m coming home and my neighbour is out walking his dog and I see this young Spanish lady let both her dogs off the lead.

The Rottweiler does not do much but the Doberman flies across the road and starts going for his dog. She manages to get it under control and this is where the fun starts.

The dog owner tells her what he thinks.

Then I tell her that dogs of certain size and breed have to be muzzled and on the lead and she goes potty telling us that her dog wouldn’t hurt anyone. I’ve heard this from so many people that insist their ‘pets’ wouldn’t hurt anyone. She was not interested and didn’t even offer any kind of apology; she put her dogs on the lead and went off muttering.

Owners - your dogs are not the problem - you are! If you own a dog that by law is classed as dangerous keep it on a lead or at least put a muzzle on it. Or I'm upgrading to a lion and they can sort it out themselves.

OPINION & COMMENT

Are the good times really over?

OUR VIEW DIFD

AN unrestrained and deceitful US has increased its worldwide military bases to 1,050 Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

IN 1981 country singer, Merle Haggard recorded the hit ‘Are the Good Times Really Over?’ A mournful lament, the lyrics grieved over a lost America. The Korean War was history and the scars of the Vietnam War were healing.

On July 12, 1987 US President Reagan at the Berlin Wall challenged Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev: “If you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, come here to the gate, Mr Gorbachev, open this gate, and tear down this wall.”

The USSR did open the gate and we believed we had ushered in an era of peace and stability. No longer were we living in the shadow of mutually destructive annihilation (MDA). Our optimism was ill-judged.

And now, apparently an unrestrained and deceitful US increased its worldwide military bases to 1,050. These now circle and threaten Russia, Iran, and Middle East: US General Wesley

US BASES: Now circle and threaten Russia, Iran and Middle East.

Clark; “We are going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya and Somalia, Sudan and finishing off Iran.”

On September 6 the US told Greece and Bulgaria to deny airspace to Russian aircraft bringing aid, medical supplies, shelter and clothing to assist in the refugee crisis. Iran opened up their air space.

Americans celebrate their July 4, 1776 tribute to US independence. A pity they don’t respect the independence of other nations. Since that date the US has invaded about 70 countries, 50 of them since 1945. Of the 248 conflicts worldwide since the end of WW2 the US has started 201 of them.

The historian who chronicles US Empire, William Blum, issued his 130th Anti-Empire Report. The US is seen by the people of the world as “the greatest threat to peace in the world today.” Only 2 per cent see Russia and 6 per cent China as a threat.

Yes, it seems the good times really are over thanks to the US and EU prostituted political leadership. I don’t regret the collapse of the USSR but bitterly resent the horrors since visited upon humanity by this apparent unrestrained expansionist United States.

The end is nigh (yet again) WHENEVER an official body denies something, then we had better watch out!

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 AM finding it very difficult to sleep of late. Some unidentified expert or other, has predicted that the Earth could cease to exist sometime soon - between September 22 and 28 to be more precise because a massive asteroid is heading our way.

NASA has reassured us that this is a load of horlicks, but this is worrying in itself. Whenever an official body goes out of its way to deny anything, then we had better watch out.

Still, we all remember the ancient Mayan prediction of doom and gloom, stating categorically that the world would come to an end on December 21, 2012. Well the day came and went and here we still are.

But it’s an ill wind, because churches saw an upturn in business, beer and spirit sales went through the roof and I had a particularly good single malt

MAYAN PREDICTION: Was one of doom and gloom.

Syrian children in Lebanon.

A drop in the ocean WE make no apologies for writing again about the refugees from Syria and their plight but this week will look at it from a different angle.

Every day there are problems between Hungary and its neighbours with regards to the ‘hordes’ of refugees trying to move into the centre and west of Europe and the 120,000 required to be accepted by 23 member states.

Let’s face it, this is a trickle compared to the number already accepted by other areas.

According to the UNHCR - the UN Refugees Agency there are 2.1 million Syrians registered as refugees in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon and there are a further 1.9 million in Turkey, which makes over four million Syrian refugees of whom 56 per cent are under 18.

Lebanon which has a population of just 4.8 million is trying to find the money to give a decent education to 400,000 refugee children.

According to the government of Saudi Arabia it has 2.5 million Syrians within its border and the UAE has just accepted 100,000 to add to the 140,000 already resident.

There are bound to be plenty of economic migrants wanting to find a better life in Europe rather than the Middle East with its own restrictions and prejudices but unless we take notice of where the bulk of refugees have ended up there is the frightening thought of further upheaval and civil war.

whisky on my cornflakes that morning.

But to be honest I did not take the prophecy seriously, because those Mayans were a strange lot who spent their time star gazing but never got around to inventing the wheel.

It would appear that as a body, they just upped and left their great cities one Wednesday morning. A note was left on the door of a stepped pyramid saying ‘Gone to Lunch’ and they simply never came back, and although there are traces of them still in Central America and Basingstoke, to all intents and purposes their civilisation disappeared.

And it was obviously on foot, because rumour has it that a massive fleet of wagons was found intact in the temple car park, propped up on bricks just waiting for someone to invent something circular to go in each corner.

Back pain – what works?

PHYSIOTHERAPY has a much higher success rate than surgery

By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com CHRONIC lower back pain is becoming a big problem. In the UK, USA and Australia it is fighting to be the number one reason people are off work. So what is the solution?

Lumbar Fusion Surgery?

Although there are a number of different methods, all involve joining or fusing together two of the bony discs in the spine so that they no longer move, the theory being that it is the movement that causes the pain.

So what are my options?

Stay active: although doctors used to prescribe bed rest for back pain, keeping moving stops the muscles stiffening up and causing more pain. So stay as active as you comfortably can. (marathons optional!)

Ibruprofen and anti-inflammatories help. Try to stay away from cortisone and steroid injections as these actually break down the discs and tissues in the spine causing long term problems.

Physiotherapy: long-term studies show that when it comes to those success criteria, I mentioned before - no pain, full range of movement, back to work - that in the groups that had just physiotherapy (no surgery) there was

What is success?

When you think of the criteria for successful surgery what are your definitions? No more pain? Full range of movement? Back to work?

Studies show that only 32 per cent of ‘successful’ spinal fusion patients return to work within two years.

A recent lawsuit in the USA deemed that lumbar fusion surgery was successful even though it left the patient paralysed from the waist down.

A survey of spinal surgeons in the US asked about the use of an artificial disc. Although 75 per cent would recommend it for their patients, only 9 per cent would have the surgery themselves.

Try yoga to help Top tips to ease your arthritis boost your OSTEOARTHRITIS is caused by wear and tear of cartilage, making joints painful

By Gemma Quinn YOGA can ease symptoms of arthritis.

Studies have shown that regular yoga sessions, around twice a week, lessened pain suffered by those with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis as well as boosting energy levels and making it easier to carry out everyday tasks.

20 per cent improvement in pain, energy, mood and physical function

Osteoarthritis is caused by wear and tear of cartilage, making joints painful and causing difficulties for sufferers to bend, lift and

grip. Rheumatoid arthritis is linked to the immune system attacking the joints making them painful and swollen. There is no cure for either.

In the study, US researchers said all participants had osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Half did two yoga classes a week, plus a practice at home, the others went about life as usual. After two months, those who had done the yoga reported around a 20 per cent improvement in pain, energy levels, mood and physical function.

For arthritis sufferers looking to take up yoga it is always advisable to check with your doctor first, find a reputable yoga teacher and start with gentle classes.

Apple cider vinegar is your ally APPLE cider vinegar is known amongst experts as the ‘hero’ household item for its internal and external health and beauty benefits.

This vinegar has been proved to contribute to a healthy digestion, encourage the growth of necessary bacteria and can be used as a hair treatment: many mix one tablespoon of the liquid with their regular shampoo and apply to their ends for softer hair. Apple cider vinegar is also believed to help with chronic dandruff.

Sore throats can also be helped by diluting one teaspoon of vinegar in a half-glass of warm water and gargling three times per hour and every three hours as the throat begins to heal. This method is also used as a mouthwash.

Purified water and apple cider vinegar can also be used as a face cleanser: just mixing some of it with hot water in the sink and then covering your head with a towel to have the steam open up the pores and remove all dirt.

This magic liquid can also be used as a trap to catch flies by putting some vinegar in a glass or bowl, mixed with a drop of dish soap to break the surface tension. The top is then covered with a plastic bag and secured by a rubber band so that flies enter the trap through holes poked in the plastic.

Rusty items can be brought back to shiny with a ACV overnight bath.

ALTHOUGH that’s not strictly true, it does appear that men are more vocal with their nocturnal snorting than women.

Apart from being irritating, there are potential health risks which should be considered and it is important to learn to recognise whether there is a serious problem behind the snoring.

It is said that one in three people in the world actually snore at some point during the night.

nor illnesses that cause congestion, even obesity and the use of alcohol can play significant roles in whether or not a person will snore.

Individuals who snore regularly should see their physician, as their doctor can help them find solutions to the problem especially as over time it can lead to serious disease.

The good news, however, is that medical advances mean that if tackled early, snoring can be reduced and in some cases eliminat ed, wi t h t he advant age of deeper sleep for both the one doing the snoring and anyone kept awake by it.

Anti-bacterial soaps no better than normal soaps

LOWER BACK: Exercises will help to relieve lower back pain.

Is it safe to exercise through pregnancy?

FitFoxy Looking Good, Staying Trim

I’VE just received the exciting news that one of my clients is 13 weeks’ pregnant, so it seemed relevant for this week’s Fitness Topic.

My priority for pre-natal clients is that they get safe and relevant exercises they can cope with working towards and beyond their third trimester.

First trimester is the first 12 weeks of pregnancy and providing your doctor has examined you and confirmed everything is fine, you can pretty much continue with the exercises you have been doing. Even running will do you no harm at this stage providing again

you have been running prior to pregnancy.

Second trimester is 13-27 weeks. Now you may feel more comfortable to move to low impact choices of cardio exercise such as the bicycle, cross trainer or low impact aerobic style classes. She is able to use the cross trainer and the rower as long as I watch her technique and it is not uncomfortable for her. We did a class yesterday using light weights with low impact cardio.

Third trimester 28 weeks to birth. Your body will tell you how much it can cope with at this stage, I would not recommend that you train on your own especially with weights, as it is important you are able to adapt to the moves correctly and comfortably, and that you avoid flat lying exercises. No over-stretching, however certain lower back exercises will help to relieve lower back pain.

HANDWASHING: No significant difference between the two.

ANTI-BACTERIAL soaps are no more effective than plain soap at killing bacteria.

Whilst many people choose anti-bacterial soap products expecting to be better protected from germs, a study has found them to be no more effective. The Korean scientists said there was “no significant difference” between the ef-

fects of plain soap and its anti-bacterial counterparts under normal ‘real-life’ conditions.

They examined the effect of triclosan, the active antiseptic ingredient commonly used, and tested 20 strains on how well it killed bacteria.

They found triclosan had killed significantly more bac-

teria after nine hours or more, but not during the short time required for handwashing.

Then, they compared the ability of antibacterial and non-antibacterial soap to remove bacteria from human hands using 16 healthy adult volunteers and found “no significant difference” between the two.

The collection entitled ‘Emerging Alchemy’ is a real collaboration between Thomas, street artist Mikael B, Puerto Banus jeweller Nick Yeoman and International Marbella.

Visitors will see a fantastic collection of black and white photographs of morphed bodies, original colour canvasses, painted sculptures based on the artwork and if it hasn’t already left for a tour of Europe, an innovative jewel design referred to as the Fabergé Egg of our times.

OPINION & COMMENT

West makes the wrong call A time and place

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

RADICAL Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias inevitably talked up the similarities between him and Labour’s newly-elected and equally radical leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

Corbyn’s political career and parliamentary experience set him apart from the university lecturer and television pundit and possibly he is closer in spirit to the Pablo Iglesias who founded the PSOE party in the 19th century. And therein, of course, lies Corbyn’s 21st century problem.

IF the West had done the unthinkable and backed El Assad and not the rebels in Syria their tanks would be there now, not Russia’s.

Nor would there be hundreds of thousands of refugees looking for a safe haven and Mariano Rajoy would not have the headache of providing for the homeless and destitute when there are already so many on his own patch.

Give it a try

WRONG MOVE: The West would have their tanks in Syria, not Russia.

FELIPE GONZALEZ, Joaquín Almunia, Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba and Pedro Sanchez, PSOE leaders past and present, hope to promote the Tercera Via. This the Third Way of dialogue and negotiation as a solution for the situation created by the Spanish government’s inab i l i t y t o l i st e n to C ata lu ñ a a n d Cataluña’s inability to listen to the gov-

ernment.

Ch u rc hill a lle ge dly onc e s a id a t a White House luncheon that “to jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war.”

Sixty-one years later Mariano Rajoy and Artur Mas could give that a try.

Charity cannot start at home, Rajoy knows it.

Paying a piper PODEMOS ideologue Monedero bade farewell to the party’s upper reaches some months ago.

This coincided with proof that he was as creative with his personal accounting as any of the PP and PSOE politicians belonging to the

‘caste’ that he and the Podemos co-founders so despise.

No longer answerable to voters, Monedero evidently felt safe enough to compare Leopoldo Lopez, a critic of Venezuela’s current chaotic government who was recently jailed for 15 years, to an ETA terrorist.

Mondero’s previous closeness to Venezuela’s late president Hugo Chavez and his successor Nicolas Maduro is well known, hence his loyalty to an administration that gave him €425,150 under the old ‘consultancy’ catchall.

Solutions for poor soil gardens RAISED BEDS filled with a mix of good topsoil and compost will produce great results Dick Handscombe

Gardening Corner

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

FROM 2000 to 2007, Spain apparently built some 35 per cent of all residential properties constructed in the entire European Union.

So it is no wonder that many owners of those properties have found that they have only a shallow depth of soil and that the soil is of poor quality.

If you are in this situation, it is futile to expect to develop a long-term sustainable garden by planting directly in the garden soil. It would be far better to build areas of raised beds with 30 to 50 centimetres of a rich water retentive soil mix from day one and cover the areas between with stone slab, tile or stone chipping terraces and paths.

The benefits will be eightfold: 1. Fewer plants will die within a few weeks, months or years.

2. Raised beds can be used for hedges, flowering plants, shrubs and trees, culinary and medicinal herb beds, a rockery, succulent or bulb collections, rose collections, vegetables and fruit plants, bushes and trees, an asparagus bed, etc, etc.

3. You can work them without walking on them and do so standing up or sitting on a seat or stool.

4. Since you don’t need to walk on the soil you can work raised beds immediately after heavy rains.

5. Watering needs will be less.

6. Easy to work if you fill with a good soil mix.

7. Provided the raised beds are on a good draining base or have low water draining holes they will not become waterlogged even after heavy rains.

8. Less continuing frustration.

BLOOMING GOOD: Since you will be starting off with fertile soil there will be little need for fertilizers.

Walls of raised beds can be brick, stone, aggregate blocks, wood, old doors, railway sleepers, welded or bolted sheet metal, and peat blocks, etc. They are easily built by a handyman or local odd-job man. Make the width no more than a metre.

We suggest that you fill the raised beds with a mix of good top soil, homemade or purchased inexpensive natural compost from a local composting yard or ecopark, and well composted horse, sheep, goat or poultry manure. If you use all the topsoil from the areas that you are going to cover with chippings you may have sufficient soil.

Since you will be starting off with fertile soil there is little need for additional fertilisers in the first year even if growing vegetables. In subsequent years top up the surface of the soil with five to 10 centimetres of good compost and well rotted manures.

To use the raised beds most productively put trailing plants around the sides to hang down the walls as well as maximising the tops of the beds.

For watering we suggest you install a drip irrigation system on the raised beds controlled by a simple battery operated timer or install a water tank above the raised

beds and water by gravity.

If you are bothered by a neighbour’s pet cats or feral cats cover the top of vegetable beds, especially at sowing and planting times,

with a removable wire mesh tunnel.

This can be covered with clear plastic sheeting to protect overwintering and early spring crops.

so need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call Marjorie 952 79 74 05 or 636 934 146 (93319) ACE CHARITY “El Refugio” in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public week-ends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepe online.net (93321) At SOS Animal Refuge we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you.

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. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875.

Visit our website www.sos-an imals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way. (93317)

Recall of Toyota RAV4 RAV4 models, 423,500 of them, from 2009-2012 have been recalled in the USA due to a fault with their windscreen wipers.

According to Toyota, water can corrode the link between the wiper and the motor crank arm over time which could cause the two parts to separate, meaning the wipers would stop. There have been no reports of injuries.

New electric speedsters AS the concept of electric performance cars becomes more acceptable, the Frankfurt Motor Show, on until September 27, has seen announcements of quality developments from Audi with their e-ton Quattro and Porsche with Mission E which promises speed, distance and quick recharging.

Speed queen EVA Håkansson is the world’s fastest female motorcycle rider having reached a speed 241.9mph driving an electric bike she designed herself. Her target is to reach 300mph and she is participating in a speed trial in the US in October.

The exciting new F-Pace, billed as Jaguar’s first family sports car HIGH hopes for this new car inspired by the F-Type which has the DNA of a sports car

By Steve Walsh JAGUAR’s exciting new F-Pace has been billed as the company’s first family sports car and has already set tongues wagging at the Frankfurt Motor Show, where it would appear the theme for this year’s event can be summed up in one word: Crossover!

Jaguar has set the tone early and has high hopes for the new car inspired by the F-Type: The new Jaguar F-Pace is a performance Sports Utility Vehicle that has the DNA of a sports car.

It looks like the F-Pace breaks with convention and drives the Jaguar brand in an entirely new direction. This exciting sports crossover concept vehicle extends Jaguar’s portfolio by entering the fastest growing segment in the global automotive market. Based on Jaguar’s all-new aluminium monocoque architecture, the F-Pace adds to the existing Jaguar range and provides a vision of potential, technical innovation, and progressive design.

Jaguar tell us that the F-Pace combines the refinement and dynamics of saloon car-like handling with superb all-weather, all-road, performance thanks to all-wheel drive and increased ground clearance.

The range of engines on offer will include the 3.0 litre V6 380 PS Super-

charged Petrol, and the new 2.0 litre four cylinder 180PS Turbocharged Diesel Ingenium engine, which can achieve 4.9l/100km and CO2 emissions as low as 129g/km.

As Jaguar say themselves on their website: The F-Pace keeps you safe, connected and entertained. It has the capability for every road and the capacity for every day. The F-Pace is a Jaguar for you, a Jaguar for your family.

Smart choice THREE cars in one: At the touch of a button the new Smart ForTwo cabrio is transformed from a closed two-seater into a car with a large sliding canvas sunroof, or a fully-fledged cabriolet with the soft top completely open.

This enables the fresh air driving experience to be adapted to the weather or the driver’s mood and flexibility is offered by the ‘tritop’ folding soft top and the removable roof bars. At the same time, the new smart cabrio is the only ‘true’ cabriolet in its vehicle class.

“Our new smart cabrio really exudes ‘joie de vivre’ in the city - which is what

our brand stands for,” says Dr Annette Winkler, Head of Smart. “I am sure that we will delight our 220,000 cabrio customers to date and win lots of new fans with this successful lifestyle icon.”

The cabrio will initially be available with two state-of-the-art three-cylinder engines rated at 52 kW/71 hp and 66 kW/90 hp.

Both can be combined with the five-speed manual transmission or the fully automatic twinamic dual clutch transmission.

The new Smart cabrio will be available for ordering from mid-November. Prices will start at €14,305 and the first models will reach dealers in the spring of 2016.

Maserati lines up latest model range in Europe

FIAT 500: An iconic car.

First update for Fiat 500 to keep it fresh IT was eight years ago that the Fiat 500 returned to the busy streets of Italy and then the world and there have been no significant changes to this iconic car since then, although there has been the launch of the raunchier 4x4 version.

Now, however, even though they are not apparent at first glance, Fiat have announced a number of updates for the model, with some claims that there are 1,800 changes, even if some of them are difficult to see or are only available on the more expensive models.

The interior sees an updated console with an

infotainment centre transplanted from the larger models within the group. The exterior sports changes to the layout of the lights and grille with some additional chrome fittings but the most important difference is that the engine has had an overhaul aimed at reducing both consumption and emissions.

The car has always been highly popular but these tweaks are obviously aimed at keeping the model fresh and appealing to a younger market that needs to have all of the latest communication hard and software.

MASERATI: At Frankfurt Motor Show.

The concept car combines the unmistakable emotional design of a Porsche with excellent performance and the forward-thinking practicality of the first 800-volt drive system.

The drive system of the Mission E is entirely new, yet it is typical Porsche, i.e. proven in motor racing. Two permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) – similar to those used in this year’s Le Mans victor, the 919 hybrid – accelerate the sports car and recover braking energy.

rent engines to the Euro 6 standard and with many other improvements the Maserati sedans, Quattroporte and Ghibli will be more than able to meet the needs of their demanding customers more effectively.

Raising the bar for compacts SUZUKI says the all-new Baleno - which made its world premiere at the 66th IAA Frankfurt Motor Show raises the bar for compact hatchbacks.

Since launching the Suzulight in 1955, Suzuki has produced a variety of compact cars that deliver value much greater than their sizes. Developed using the company’s compact-car expertise, the Baleno has an elegant and powerful design, a spacious cabin and luggage space, and a host of new technologies.

The new technologies include a rigid, lightweight new-generation platform, highly responsive 1.0-litre direct-injection turbo BOOSTERJET engine, and SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) featuring engine assist by an integrated starter generator which generates electricity through regenerative braking.

All of these contribute to a fun yet efficient driving experience, giving the Baleno much more than just good looks and convenience.

LOOKING ON: Gibraltar-born Dr Carneiro on Chelsea team bench.

Doctor leaves Chelsea DR CARNEIRO is considering her legal position CHELSEA doctor Eva Carneiro has decided to leave the club following public criticism from manager Jose Mourinho.

Gibraltar-born Dr Carneiro had her position downgraded, lost her place on the bench and was no longer allowed to attend matches or training sessions after Mourinho said his medical staff was ‘naive’ for treating Eden Hazard during the 2-2 draw with Swansea on August 8.

Whilst the club has indicated that it does not comment on internal staffing matters it appears that they invited her to return to work which she declined, whilst considering legal advice.

At the same time, the Football Association is looking into a complaint that Mourinho used abusive or sexist language towards her.

Perhaps Chelsea’s loss will be the Gibraltar national team’s gain.

...from previous page England play Wales on Saturday (9pm) followed by Australia-Uruguay, Scotland-USA and Ireland-Romania on Sunday.

Twenty countries are playing 48 games in the tournament which ends on 31 October.

MOTOR SPORT - Sebastian Vettel won last Sunday’s eventful Singapore F1 Grand Prix; Daniel Ricciardo was second with Kimi Raikonnen third.

Unfortunately Lewis Hamilton’s brakes failed but he still leads the driver’s championship by 41 points from Nico Rosberg with Vettel eights worse off.

The cars, drivers and crews stay in Asia for this Sunday’s Japanese Grand Prix while the riders on two wheels will participate in the Spanish MotoGP at Aragon.

FOOTBALL - Last weekend, a record Etihad Stadium crowd of 53,545 saw West Ham surprisingly beat Manchester City 2-1 - the latter’s second home defeat in four

days. Chelsea, aided by the niggling and arrogant Diego Costa, beat nine-man Arsenal 2-0 (also the Gunners’ second defeat in a row); Manchester United (with two goals from teenage sensation Anthony Martial) won 3-2 at Southampton and WBA edged Aston Villa 1-0 in the Midlands derby. There were also PL wins for Bournemouth (v Sunderland), Spurs (with a ‘Sun’ goal v Crystal Palace) and Watford (at Newcastle).

Brighton (Championship), Burton Albion (FL1), Leyton Orient (FL2), Aberdeen (SPL), Rangers (SCL) and Barcelona (La Liga) lead their respective Divisions.

Lionel Messi missed his 15th penalty out of 65 in Barca’s latest 4-1 win over Levante.

Earlier this week, 16 third round League Cup-ties included Arsenal v Tottenham, Aston Villa v Birmingham, Leicester v West Ham, Liverpool v Carlisle, Manchester United v

Sebastian Vettel.

Ipswich, Norwich v WBA, Sunderland v Manchester City and Walsall v Chelsea. And this weekend the top PL games are Leicester-Arsenal, Manchester United-Sunderland, NewcastleChelsea and Spurs-Manchester City, while two founder members of the Football League, Preston and Wolves, meet in the Championship. * Former PNE, Aston Villa and England forward Tommy Thompson has died, aged 85 TENNIS - At The Emirates Arena, Glasgow, Great Britain beat Australia to reach the Davis Cup final for the first time since 1978. Andy and Jamie Murray set up victory with a memorable and thrilling doubles triumph over Lleyton Hewitt and Sam Groth before Andy went out on Sunday to sew things up with victory over Bernard Tomic. GB will now play Belgium, away, in the final in November.... and the last time GB won the trophy was back in 1936 when Fred Perry was at his best.

CRICKET - Jade Dernbach’s hat-trick for Surrey was all in vain as Gloucestershire won the Royal London Cup final at Lords by six runs (220/214). And Worcestershire have been relegated form Division One of the County Championship.

GOLF - Europe blew an 84 points lead in the Solheim Cup allowing the USA to regain the trophy with a narrow 14½ to 13½ victory in Germany.

Jason Day has now gone top of the world rankings but Tiger Woods has dropped down to 283rd after another back operation. He will not play any more golf this year. His last major win was back in 2008.

TRIATHLON - In the World Championships in Chicago, the GB duo of Non Stanford and Vicky Holland finished second and third in the women’s event and so qualified for the 2016 Olympics in Rio, but in the men’s event, Jonny Brownlee could only manage 12th place.

Thank you, readers, for your support CAMPBELL LAMONT expresses his appreciation on behalf of the whole team Getting in the swing with Campbell Lamont

By Tony Myles THOUSANDS of EWN readers have played a major role in helping Campbell reach his market leading position and on behalf of his whole team, he wants to convey his sincere appreciation for that support. The business has grown beyond all expectations.

Here are a few highlights and comparisons.

Just a few years ago, Campbell was operating from a single office suite with limited space for product displays. The main thrust of

SUCCESS STORY: Campbell’s business has surpassed expectations. the business was based on securing discounted green fees for his clients. This was an extremely difficult task as, at that time, the mindset of the clubs was that green fees should not be discount-

ed but should be retained at an ever increasing high level. How times have changed!

Today there are no popular courses that do not undertake to provide Campbell with the very

lowest possible rates, which he passes on to a burgeoning client base. This year, you will book more than 40,000 green fees with him. The process will be handled efficiently and smoothly.

Move to the mall This single office was replaced by one of the largest Golf Stores in Spain based alongside the busy shopping mall in Ondara * Here Campbell has 650 square metres of space and incorporates a driving range and a putting green. *You will also find all the major brands on display and available for you to try before you buy. * The clothing part of the business has also grown significantly from a few caps just a few years ago to a full range of all the latest fashions for men and women.

With this amazing success to build on, Campbell has now undertaken to supply six additional

stores in the North Costa Blanca where you will have access to the full range of goods and services offered by the company.

Leagues One of the biggest successes for the Campbell Lamont team has been the meteoric rise in the number of players in the International Campbell Lamont Golf Leagues.

From a handful of society members, who were early participants, this now attracts over 10,000 competitors and with expansion into other countries this will quickly become the European number one amateur golf competition.

There are so many other success stories but space is limited and so we confirm our gratitude to those who have made this possible and our commitment to continue offering the very best prices for everything you need in order to enjoy the very best sport in the world.
